of service. Congratulations Mr Abba.........
The Overseer of Latter Rain Assembly
Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has said one of the ways to end the Boko
Haram insurgency is for the Federal Government to apologise to members
of the sect over the murder of their leader, Mohammed Yusuf, in 2009.
Bakare,
who was Buhari’s Vice-Presidential running mate in the 2011
presidential elections, said “but for the timely intervention of God,
last week’s assassination attempt on General Muhamadu Buhari might have
marked the beginning of the end for Nigeria if it had succeeded. We will
not also ignore the fact that at the root of the escalation of the Boko
Haram crisis was oppression and injustice."
”The summary
execution of Boko Haram’s former leader, Mohammed Yusuf in 2009 provided
the soil of martyrdom for the nurture and growth of the sect.
Government must declare peace first of all; apologising for the murder
of Mohammed Yusuf to the sect members not their sympathisers or
bandits.”

Should federal government abide with this idea? Maybe or maybe not.
A former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi
Fani-Kayode, has again challenged the All Progressives Congress to
explain its relationship with the dreaded Islamic sect, Boko Haram,
saying the party was not able to controvert him, few months ago, when he
accused it of sponsoring the sect. While speaking with journalists in
Osogbo, Osun State capital, on Tuesday, Fani-Kayode insisted that some
members of the APC, particularly those from the North, were sponsoring
the operations of Boko Haram.
He said, “The APC in the North is
the political wing of Boko Haram in the northern part of Nigeria. This, I
have said before and no one among them was bold enough to challenge me.
I will continue to say it again and again. The northern elements in the
APC have to explain to all Nigerians why some of their leaders in the
North support, encourage and defend Boko Haram members."
Fani-Kayode,
who recently defected from the APC to the PDP, also said he had met
with the people that matter in the PDP including President Goodluck
Jonathan and they had assured him of an enabling stay in the ruling
party. He said he would work for the victory of the PDP in the
forthcoming governorship election in Osun State and would also
contribute to the victory of the party in the 2015 general elections. He
added that the PDP remained the only national party in the country.

duo Jodie Williams and Bianca Williams. The 25-year-old, who won

It was a taboo many decades back but
things have since changed. But has it changed to the extent that it's
now okay for a woman to propose to her man in this 21st century lol? Would you do it? If not,
why?
