Eccentric star writes on Buhari, Aisha, 'the kitchen, 'the other room'

 

  Following President Buhari's statement after Aisha Buhari's interview, Charly Boy has his own opinion and he wants you to read it.

Veteran musician, Charly Boy, has just penned his opinion on the current state of the nation.

Following President Buhari's statement after Aisha Buhari's interview, Charly Boy has his own opinion and he wants you to read it.
Read his statement below:

"My people, how many of una hear or read Aisha Buharis BBC interview. In that interview I could see a woman who has considered all her options and all consequences and is simply crying out for help because domestically things are perhaps not peaceful or that her husband's power and authority has been hijacked by the treacherous cabals who insist on making some of our Presidents (past and present) a mere figure head. The same cabal hijacked Goodluck Jonathan administration, an easy going man who was never wired for treachery and evil, in fact that one personally confessed to me himself that he is under siege by the Cabal.

I know that it is very lonely at the top. If you're a family man, you know how easy or difficult it is in running your family how much more a country/nation as big as Nigeria.

From where I stand, I feel the Cabal have succeeded in overpowering our President, hence, Aisha's cry for help. And it doesn't make it any easier when the person in question has a mungo park mentality. Kai wahala dey.

My people what do we do? how can we help to get our oga to see our predicament and take immediate action to rescue our future?. Nigerians are no longer happy, they are hungry and angry. God ain't going to send down manna from heaven so forget about night vigil and your pastors, it is our call to face this monster or we will all die one after another before our time.

Any suggestions is permitted because this doesn't look good at all."

Gay pastor says it is honourable to be a homosexual

Nigeria's foremost gay pastor, Jide Macaulay says he is happy to be a homosexual as it is a gift from God and quite honourable being one.

Controversial Nigerian gay pastor and activist, Rev. Jide Macaulay, has insisted that being a homosexual is honourable and special gift from God.

Macaulay, who caused a great ruckus some years ago when he founded the House of Rainbow Fellowship, a church for gay people, took to his Instagram and Twitter accounts to declare that he was living a lie when he got married, had children and tried to show to the world that he was a straight man.

But when he realized he could no longer live the life of another person, he promptly divorced his wife and dumped his family and openly declared his status and moved on with his life.

Read what he wrote here:

"To be a homosexual is honourable, a gift from God. It is who I am. God makes no mistakes. Knowing the truth as a gay Christian is liberating and gives me the most joy of my freedom.

I have paid the price for lying to be heterosexual. Pretending to be who you are not will only harm you. EVERYONE was hurt, my father, mother, wife, son, my siblings, in-laws, friends and relatives etc.

I was FORCED to lie. I justified these lies with religion, culture, tradition and law. I lied to myself for all of my adolescence; I lied to my family and friends.

Because I didn't know any better. I lied to my ex-wife because I was afraid of telling the truth.

I lied in my prayers asking God to cure me of homosexuality instead of helping me to come to terms. My religious belief and dogma nearly killed me. I wrongly married a woman and badly hurt everyone.

I suffered emotional and psychological breakdown and through it all, I survived."

Before now, Rev. Macaulay, the son of a man of God, has courted several controversies by stating that God adores homosexuals.

At another time, he had stated that bible characters like King David was himself a homosexual while Ruth was a lesbian who had sexual affairs with her mother-in-law, Naomi.

Extreme poverty to end by 2030 -World Bank

 World Bank’s Group President Jim Kim said the bank was determined to boost shared prosperity to end extreme poverty by 2030. Kim said this at the Brooking Institutions on the eve of the World Bank/IMF Annual meeting in Washington DC on Tuesday. The Theme of the conference is “We can end poverty together.’’

 Kim said a new World Bank survey showed how income inequality among peoples had decreased, and inequality within nations had fallen in many countries, both rich and poor. “Today’s report identifies strategies to address inequality that even the poorest nations can adopt whether through conditional cash transfers, connecting farmers to markets or rural electrification. “The lesson is that inequality is not an unsolvable mystery. Pro-equality policies are not luxur
y goods and can work in any country.

 “Ending extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity is our bottom line. We will achieve these goals in three ways: “Firstly, accelerating inclusive and sustainable economic growth, investing in human capital, and by fostering resilience to global shocks and threats.’’ Kim said to end poverty, massive infrastructure and no matter how much money the bank and other international organisations were investing would never be enough to bridging that gap. He said that in recent years, the demand for infrastructure investment had far outstripped available resources. He said that according to a World Bank survey, about 1.2 billion people in the world do not have electricity.

 “At least 660 million people lack access to safe drinking water; about one billion people in low-income countries lack access to an all-weather road.

“While more than three billion people now have access to the internet, still, more than four billion people do not have access. “It is estimated that emerging markets and low-income countries face an annual gap of up to $1.5 trillion dollars a year in infrastructure finance”, he said. Kim said to address this and substantially boost global economic growth, the bank would create opportunities for public private partnerships in emerging markets. About 3000 delegates from member countries and aspiring member countries are expected to attend the meeting which would take place from Oct 7 to 9. A high powered delegation from Nigeria, led by Finance Minister, Mrs Kemi Adeosun, CBN Governor, Mr Godwin Emefiele and stakeholders would attend the meeting.

EFCC denies FAAN’s N750m bribe report

 

Abuja—The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has denied clearing the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN’s Managing Director, Sale Dunoma, of alleged N3 billion fraud after collecting N750 million bribe.

The commission said in a statement by its spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, that it felt scandalised by the false report by an online medium. The portal had alleged that some unnamed EFCC officials collected the bribe and shared it with some top officials of the Ministry of Transport and the Presidency. But the commission said there was nothing like that, saying “the attention of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has been drawn to a report entitled N3b Found in FAAN MD’s Bank Accounts Sparks Discontent Over His Clearance by EFCC and Shabby Running of the Agency.

“The online medium came out yesterday with claims that the Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, Mr. Saleh Dunoma, was cleared of corruption allegations by the Commission after paying bribe to unnamed officials of EFCC and the Ministry of Transport. “The EFCC is scandalised by this report, which is capable of raising doubts in the mind of the public regarding the integrity of the agency.

“As an agency that has zero-tolerance for corruption, the commission views with seriousness issues of integrity and has repeatedly asked those with evidence of corruption among the ranks of its officers to come forward, which in this case should have included the names of the officers allegedly involved, and the time and place they collected the alleged gratification. “But there was no such evidence in the report, which to all intent and purposes appears contrived.

For the avoidance of doubt, the EFCC wishes to state that at no time did it issue any clearance to any managing director of FAAN, which makes the story specious. “The commission urges the media to be a little circumspect in their reportage.”
