Princewill congratulates his Opponent, an Officer and a Gentleman

Prince Tonye T.J.T Princewill

My fellow Nigerians,

On behalf of all my supporters, I'd like first to congratulate the new President and Commander in Chief of the armed forces, Muhammadu Buhari on his successful assumption as leader of the largest black nation and the number 1 economy in Africa. I'd like to thank him for a well worded speech and encourage him to stick to every word, especially the ones that appeared in the sentence. "I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody." That signifies a collective interest and this can only be good for Nigeria.

After playing a crucial role in FC Abuja's 2-0 win against JZ United in Kafanchan on Friday, rock-solid defender Ndubuisi Ukoha says he is happy with the club's unbeaten start to the Nigeria Nationwide League campaign.

The promotion seeking team continued their unbeaten run in the 2015 NNWL season, and Ukoha feels they deserved the three points earned on the road.

Topic: Lead them to Christ [Sunday May 31, 2015]

“That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.” -Deuteronomy 6:2

When my children were growing up, I made sure that we had Bible study daily. I would open up my Bible and them theirs, then we would share ideas of what the particular Scripture we were looking at meant to us. It opened us up to so many things; but of great importance, was that it showed them who they are in Christ.

Topic: The Sons of Ulam [Sunday May 31, 2015]

Text: 1 Chronicles 8:33-40

Key Verse: “And the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valour, archers, and had many sons, and sons’ sons, an hundred and fifty. All these are of the sons of Benjamin” (1 Chronicles 8:40).

Today, there are traditional and on-line publications that are dedicated to compilation of remarkable people from different walks of life. The world has never come short in supply of such people considered to have distinguished themselves in their chosen fields. Those who make these lists are not necessarily selected because of moral uprightness, but basically for the contributions they have made in leadership, religion, philanthropy, arts, science, social work, military, sports and a host of other human endeavours.

The books of 1st and 2nd Chronicles are basically historic account of the experience of the Israelites over a period of time. 1st Chronicles, in particular, contains a genealogical listing of the various tribes of Israel, from the earliest times to the death of David. Such a huge compilation of names hardly had room for reasonable biographical comments. But in every tribe, there were names that were too remarkable to be listed without comment. In the tribe of Benjamin, the sons of Ulam are one of such. The Chronicler took time to remark that the sons of Ulam were mighty men of valour and archers.

This set of people were very courageous and had mastery of one of the major ancient weapons –archery. Bible commentaries noted that ancient archery required great strength and skill as the steel bow was bent by treading with the feet and pulling the string with both hands. The Ulams therefore, earned their honour by being masters in this area. They certainly endeavoured to make the most of their God-given talent.

We may not be skillful in archery or have such earthly attainments that can earn us a place in the Who-Is-Who of this world. But we all have ample opportunities to live a remarkable life. A child of God that makes the most of his God-given resources and gifts by positively touching lives; brightening the corner where he is, thereby glorifying God has booked a place of honour in heavenly chronicles.

Pride and destruction are twins. Wherever you see pride, know that its companion, destruction, is just at the corner. Pride is very devastating and begins in the heart. My husband often says, “If you’re proud, you know it; you don’t need a prophet to tell you.” Pride is at the root of many people’s family challenge today, yet they blame it on the devil.

New Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday promised to eradicate the “mindless, godless” militants of Boko Haram and rescue hundreds of women and children held captive, including 219 girls taken from the town of Chibok a year ago.

We go to great length in pursuit of happiness in life. We spare neither expense nor efforts to obtain what promises to give us lasting joy. We enthusiastically adopt and practice all the formulas recommended by so-called experts. Yet, happiness remains elusive. The preacher in the book of Ecclesiastes summarizes this baffling situation well, when he exclaimed: “Whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them”.

He does not have the legitimate mandate of the good people of Rivers State to act as their Governor,” Rivers APC said in a statement signed by the State Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya.

I welcome you all to this occasion of the formal presentation of the Hand-over notes of my Administration to the in-coming Administration of the President-Elect, General Muhammadu Buhari.

This event and tomorrow’s inauguration of a new administration are truly historic as it is the first time in the history of our nation that we are witnessing the democratic and orderly transfer of power at the Federal level from one political party to another.

PREAMBLE
For a man to clock the golden age of 50 in a country like Nigeria where the life expectancy is much lower surely calls for a celebration. My good friend and political leader, Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, therefore has every reason to roll out the drums as he strikes gold today, Wednesday, May 27, 2015. Silver and gold have I none to give the man of the moment but at least I can pay him a tribute, chronicling how he emerged from humble circumstances to become one of shapers of modern Nigerian politics within his first 50 years of sojourn on earth. As a close friend who has watched Amaechi from close quarters over a long period of time, I will attempt to expose what makes him tick politically and how he piloted the unseating of a sitting President and a political party that prided itself as the largest in Africa.

The saying emphasizes the importance of proper appraisal of a situation and adequate preparation before actions are taken. Kogi Governor, Capt.

Offences are expressions of inward anger and animosity. They are the feelings you get when you think that you have been treated unjustly and deserve more. Unfortunately, people get offended in God too. They feel they deserve more and should have what, and if not more, of what their neighbours have. They may also think they don’t deserve what they are going through right now, and God has been “unjust” to them.

Even at that tender age, a child hears but may not communicate. It matters what is fed into it at that age.

You can’t teach them to love or forgive others when you don’t show love or forgiveness towards your spouse.

The All Progressives Congress on Sunday accused the outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan-led administration of deliberately sabotaging the incoming administration by contriving crises without making any effort to resolve them.

The party said the Jonathan administration was leaving behind a fractured economy without electricity, with no fuel and disgruntled workers on strike over the non-payment of salaries.

The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has hailed the unification of the once divided Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) by the out-going Chairman, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, describing it as a political masterstroke.

Memorise: What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? -1 Corinthians 6:19

Read: 1 Corinthians 6:15-20 (KJV)

15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
