HAMAS AND ISRAEL FULFILLING PROPHESY ?

After Israel was attacked by land, sea, and air, the whole world looked on in terror. The terrorist group Hamas carried out an unexpected assault on civilian targets. Both in Israel and Gaza, the death toll is rising. The day after the attack started, Laurie stated during a sermon, "You're seeing Bible prophecy fulfilled in your lifetime, in real-time, before your very eyes." Pastor Greg Laurie Discusses the Attack on Israel's Biblical Significance In his sermon, Laurie reminded his audience that the current attack on Israel happened close to the anniversary of the Yom Kipper War, which took place in 1973 and involved "attacks by Egypt, Syria, and others on Israel."

 

He continued by stating that this attack was not like the one that occurred fifty years ago. Numerous individuals were abducted and killed. Additionally, they were employing techniques that resembled those of ISIS. "They specifically targeted young women, young children," Laurie continued. Laurie wrote, "They went door to door, home to home, looking for the young and the elderly." The incident was carried out by the terrorist group Hamas, which is purportedly supported by Iran. Laurie said, "We stand by the Palestinian fires until the liberation of Palestine in Jerusalem is complete." An Iranian politician praised the assaults.

Joe Biden

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made a video speech to the nation on Sunday, as well as the rest of the globe. "I demand that Israel's citizenry follow the army's and Home Front Command's orders to the letter. Netanyahu declared, "We are at war, and we will prevail." Albert Mohler, the president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, attacked the Biden administration for what he saw as its facilitation of the onslaught on Israel. Five American captives were freed in exchange for the Biden administration's "unfrozen $6 billion of Iranian assets." Laurie and Mohler both think that at least some of the money was utilized to assist in financing the attack. Laurie said, "What a stupid move that is."

"How foolish it is to provide any financial support to this country that actively supports terrorism worldwide." The Biden administration asserts that Iran has not yet been granted access to the unfrozen monies and disputes the existence of any proof linking Iran to the financing of the Hamas attack. However, Laurie quoted another Iranian leader, “Is it possible for us to observe a post-American world in the context of Zionism?" "The regime that occupies Jerusalem must be wiped off the map," he said. Laurie summed up, saying, "It's interesting how it always comes back to Jerusalem." "Is the terrorist group Hamas, which receives funding from Iran, attacking Israel in fulfillment of Bible prophecy?" Laurie shared a video of his sermon with it. "I respond to that here. Additionally, as the Bible instructs, we "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem." [Psalm 122:6] Come along with me

 

According to Laurie, the Bible "predicted the end times would revolve around Jerusalem" thousands of years ago. For those who study Bible prophecy, here is where things become fascinating, he added. The Bible predicts that Israel will be dispersed and then reassembled in the end times. This has taken place. "The gathering of the nation of Israel in their homeland is the sign that sets the prophetic clock ticking," Laurie said, recollecting that "In 1948, Israel became a nation" following the Holocaust, which claimed the lives of six million Jews.

Laurie continued by citing Ezekiel 37 and 38, whereby it is prophesied that Israel will be attacked “from her north,” or “Magog.” This adversary, Magog, is thought by many Bible scholars to be modern-day Russia. The Bible also describes Magog's ally, Persia, which is the modern-day equivalent of Iran. Laurie stated, "The Iranians and Russians have developed a special connection only recently." "Put on your seatbelt if you wake up in the morning and see this headline: 'Russia Attacks Israel,'" Laurie advised. "You're witnessing the fulfillment of Bible prophecy in front of your very eyes, right now, during your lifetime." "So What Should We Do Now?" inquires Laurie. Though tragedy surrounded them, Laurie gave them hope.

 

"Look up because your redemption is near when you see these things begin to happen," said Jesus. That is what we must be doing, then. gazing upward. Laurie urged God's people to pray, even as he described the attack as "an act of pure evil and Israel has every right to defend herself." "The Bible prophesies that the Jewish people would return to their country, and they have done so. "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem," the Bible instructs us (Ps. 122:6). "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: May those who love you be secure," reads Psalm 122:6. Using this passage, Laurie urged his followers and Christians worldwide to join him in prayer for Jerusalem.

Laurie then gave specific points to pray over the land: that “they arrive at some kind of peace,” “this horrific terrorism stops,” and “they’re [Israel] able to get their hostages back.

Laurie said, "Pray for Israel's inhabitants and the several international tour groups who are present. "May God grant their Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, protection and wisdom." Laurie realized that "that's not going to replace the hundreds of lives that were lost in this unprecedented attack." Still, he led the church in prayer and kept citing the Bible. "We pray now for the peace of Jerusalem, Father, as you have instructed us to do. In accordance with what your prophecy foretold, they are your people, the Jewish people, whom you have regathered in the land, he declared.

A professor has narrated his own ordeal over the discrepancies on his certificate. Explaining to the media in the wake of the issues raised by the PDP presidential candidate's complaints over President Tinubus certificates, he said

 

 President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was haunted by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar's vicious and violent attacks, which is a crass display of high-grade toxicity in Nigerian politics and politics even though I am from Ibadan, Oyo State, my record at the University of Ibadan has Lagos State as my state of origin. Oyo State was listed as my state of origin on both my elementary and secondary school certificates and my NYSC documents.

Atiku

When my biological father registered me for the 1973–1974 school year, my birthdate was entered as February 3, 1968, at the Wesley College Practising Primary School in Elekuro, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. My full blood sister, Alhaja Bilikisu Omoriyeba Bolarinwa, who was my parents' second child and a laboratory attendant for the Oyo State Hospital Management Board when I was in primary school, told me that she found our family record book, in which my birth date was listed as April 10, 1969. Our own standards fairly educated her.

Tinubu 2

Based on that revelation, my sister went to the school's headmaster, Pa. Odedina, who also happened to be my paternal uncle, to alter my record. As a result, my new date of birth was officially recorded as April 10, 1969. I used April 10, 1969, as my birthdate at Urban Day Grammar School in Elekuro, Ibadan, from the time I was admitted in 1980 till I graduated in 1985. When the school sent me a testimonial for my school leaving certificate in 1985, I was shocked to see that my date of birth was listed as November 10, 1969.

My attempts to persuade the school administration to alter it were all in vain. I consistently used April 10, 1969, as my date of birth when I sought for admission to the Oyo State College of Arts and Science, Ile-Ife (formerly known as Oyo State) to pursue my Higher School Certificate (HSC) studies. But as time went on, I learned from my parents and our eldest sister, Alhaja Hafsat Adebayo, the firstborn of my parents, that my father was correct when he said that my actual birthdate was February 3, 1968, as I was only seven days older than her second son, Mr. Wasiu Adebayo, my nephew, who was born on February 9, 1968.

The fact that Wasiu's naming ceremony was held the day after my own naming ceremony was confirmed by all the family members. I was the last born and the first male child of my elderly parents, thus both of our births were celebrated with tremendous ceremony, pomp, and spectacle. My own was on February 10, 1968, while Wasiu's was on February 11, 1968. Wasiu also possessed a birth certificate since his mother, my sister, was a successful live goat vendor in Oranyan market, Ibadan, and his father, a well-known socialite from Alasaro compound in Oranyan, was educated to the elementary school level.

Without a Western education, I would have most likely become a butcher or bus driver, which are common careers in Ibadanland, or at best, a Fuji musician. My grandma introduced and brought my mother and sister into the live goat trading business, which has since grown to be our family business. I should not forget to mention that some of my aburos and colleagues, who are in fact younger than me in age, like Prince Bamidele Abolarin (Super D), Kazeem Gbadamosi, SAN, and siaka Abiola Olagunju, SAN, used to taunt me, saying that I am their official birthday because I adopted April 10, 1969, as my official birthday.

What I am attempting to convey is that, had Mr. J.B. Daudu, SAN—a learned, esteemed, and professional politician—said in his Facebook post that he is a professional politician, the multiple inconsistencies in my academic records regarding the differences in my birth dates—February 3, 1968, April 10, 1969, and November 10, 1969—would have been used against me and labeled as fraudulent and/or forgeries. Additionally, the fact that Lagos State and Oyo State are my states of origin would have been utilized to defame, threaten, intimidate, haunt, and oppress me—just as Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is currently doing to his former bosom friend and "savior."

before the 2007 presidential election, when he was being unjustly persecuted and mistreated by the tyrannical and vindictive former president Olusegun Obasanjo. If my memory serves me correctly, I can confidently state, without being immodest or missing a beat, that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar would have been politically long since forgotten and relegated to the forgotten political history of Nigeria were it not for the then-very-timely interventions and support of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his allies.

Even if we assume—without denying—that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's entire academic record is phony and fraudulent, it is pertinent to pose the following question to some gullible Nigerians who are unaware of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar's current covert motivation: "What practical benefit will all those fishing expeditions and wild goose chases have for the election petition appeal that Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the PDP are currently pursuing in the Supreme Court, or even that of Mr. Peter Obi and the Labour Party, or even both appeals combined as the PDPLP/NLC appeals? The obvious solution may be found without peering into a crystal ball because, in the words of Sir Oliver Wendel Holmes, "the life of law is not logic."

There would not be gay and lesbian bishops in some Anglican churches in wealthy Western countries if the basic legal tenet—that "morality and law are not co-terminus"—had not been widely accepted. Similarly, those who point to the best international practices of Western democracies and developed countries also failed, refused, or neglected to imitate and accept those countries' legalized human rights practices regarding their open and proud practices of homosexuality, gays, and lesbianism. But since the PDP's Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and the Labour Party's Mr. Peter Obi are appealing to our nation's highest court, their cases are now under review.

As a result, I will refrain from commenting on the appropriateness of either appeal. Politicians in Nigeria ought to be reminded that there President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was haunted by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar's vicious and violent attacks, which is a crass display of high-grade toxicity in Nigerian politics and politics Despite the fact that I am from Ibadan, Oyo State, my record at the University of Ibadan has Lagos State as my state of origin. Oyo State was listed as my state of origin on both my elementary and secondary school certificates and my NYSC documents. My date of birth was documented as February 3, 1968, when my real father registered me at the Wesley College Practising Primary School in Elekuro, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.

When they genuinely understand that I am their elder brother and acknowledged Egbon! My point is that had Mr. J.B. Daudu, SAN—a learned, esteemed, and professional politician—stated in his Facebook post that I am a professional politician, the multiple discrepancies in my academic records regarding my birth dates—February 3, 1968, April 10, 1969, and November 10, 1969—would have been used against me and labeled as fraudulent or forgeries, and the fact that my states of origin are Lagos and Oyo State would have been used to vilify, harass, intimidate, haunt, and oppress me like the Waziri Adamawa, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar

CSU CLEARS TINUBU

In a deposition it gave on Tuesday, Chicago State University (CSU) said it didn't have a copy of the diploma President Bola Tinubu provided to the Independent National Electoral Commission. Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party's (PDP) candidate for president in the most recent election, had CSU disclose Tinubu's academic transcripts so that the Nigerian Supreme Court could utilize them. Tinubu's victory in the election on February 25 and the petition tribunal's declaration of Tinubu as the winner are both being contested by Abubakar.

Atiku

He had contended that Tinubu should not have been allowed to run for office because of errors in the certificate he provided to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). TheCable reports that Caleb Westberg, the university registrar and deponent/witness, claimed the following about the certificate (also known as a diploma) Tinubu handed to the INEC: "The institution only possesses certifications that students didn't pick up in its custody.

Diplomas are often not kept on file by the university. The diploma that was sent to INEC is not in my hands. Additionally, he stated that "outside vendors" provide new diplomas as necessary. Diplomas are viewed in the US as essentially ceremonial papers, according to Westberg. It could be valued higher in some other nations. In the US, transcripts are more frequently relied upon than diplomas. He said that all of the certified papers originated in CSU's records.

"CSU has never previously validated any documents for anyone. It must have been manufactured since it seemed more Nigerian, the man added. "I don't know of any situation when CSU was asked to certify a paper. President Tinubu's representative, Mr. Wole Afolabi, insisted that the documents be authenticated. In response to a different query, he stated that although he had gone into Tinubu's student file and generated the documents, he was unaware that they would be certified. "I don't get involved in legal matters," he declared. It happens occasionally for data inputs to be entered incorrectly, according to Westberg.

I attended UC Berkeley and UC Irving before CSU. I'm sure there are times when data input errors happen," he remarked. The witness added that it's conceivable sellers are in charge of the certificate Tinubu gave the Nigerian Electoral Commission before to the election. "Over the years, several policies have changed. The replacement of diplomas is handled by other suppliers, he explained.

You would have to ask Tinubu why he didn't pick up his new diploma from the institution, the witness remarked in response. The only diplomas that the university is in possession of are those that students didn't pick up. Diplomas are often not kept on file by the university. Mr. Tinubu did not pick up the diploma, therefore I have it in our custody. Mr. Enahoro-Ebah was given it, he added. "He picked up the diploma submitted to INEC, so I do not have it in our possession."

He said, "I notice that he mentioned that the Nigerian president is the same guy that he ran against. Bola Tinubu took accounting classes at Southwest College. Bola Tinubu studied accounting classes when enrolled at CSU. I noticed Bola Tinubu's address listed there. CSU is not far away.

I examined the entire file to confirm that Bola Tinubu, who is currently the president of Nigeria, also attended CSU. '1952' and '1954' might have been entered incorrectly. The individual who attended CSU is the same person who attended Southwest College. Bola Tinubu consistently enrolls in the same courses at Southwest and CSU.

The social security number (SSN) inputted and shown in the Southwest transcript just after the entry "F" matches the one seen in the CSU records. One of the indicators we use to recognize kids is that. A social security number serves as a unique identification. When questioned about why he thinks the Nigerian president of today attended CSU, the witness responded that Bola Tinubu is an uncommon name in the US.

He added, "He compared the information given by the student or on behalf of the student to the entries in the file. We think the current president of Nigeria is the same Bola Tinubu who studied at CSU. Allegations have been made that the Tinubu who was admitted to CSU was a woman. According to the CSU witness, Tinubu applied to the institution as a man, and a man was given a letter of admission.

"Mr. Tinubu's records had information indicating that he was a man. I saw the CSU application. Mr. Tinubu declared that he was a man. He was identified as a man in his admissions letter. 'Dear Mr. Tinubu,' it begins. According to an item on the APC website, President Bola Tinubu was born on March 29, 1952, in Lagos. "I am unable to comment since I do not possess a copy of the diploma that was submitted to INEC.

I'm not aware of the fact that he claimed a different nationality or date of birth on the form he submitted to INEC. Yes, according to our records, he was born on March 29. '1954' appears on one, whereas '1952' appears on the other.  People do occasionally make errors while entering such information.

General Momoh, who reportedly oversaw the fraud of the 2014 Ekiti gubernatorial election, is fired by the army. Brigadier General Aliyu Momoh, who reportedly oversaw the fraud of the 2014 gubernatorial election in Ekiti State, has been fired by the Nigerian Army.

During the recently concluded Nuclear Security Summit in Washington, DC, the United States, the Minister of Defense, Mansur Dan Ali, informed the news outlet that Mr. Momoh's military career had been terminated after the report of a military panel that investigated the unprofessional conduct of officers and soldiers during the elections in Ekiti and Osun State indicted him alongside other soldiers.

Major General Adeniyi Oyebade

The commission of investigation, presided up by Major General Adeniyi Oyebade, issued "far-reaching recommendations" to aid the army's future participation in civil elections. The board interviewed 62 commanders, over 100 troops, and 62 citizens before making its recommendations. The board recommended forcing two army commanders to retire, according to the statement.

 

General Momoh

Additionally, it suggested that three officers lose their command, while another suggested that they be prosecuted for seeking financial gain. The board also recommended adding 15 officials to a watch list while referring nine others for further examination by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission due to suspicions of wrongdoing against them. The board also recommended that 62 officers (mainly Majors-below in level) get letters of disapproval and attend before their respective General Officers Commanding for counseling. Six officers are to go before an audit committee.

Goodluck Jonathan

 The panel was established in response to the publication of a video recording by Captain Sagir Koli of its Intelligence Corps, which revealed steps taken to rig the June 21, 2014 election in Ekiti State by Mr. Momoh, his commanding officer, and other senior members of the Goodluck Jonathan government.

Ayodele Fayose, the governor of Ekiti State, Aliyu Momoh, a general, and leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party Andy Uba and Iyiola Omisore conspired to rig the 2014 election in Ekiti State, according to the video recording. Musiliu Obanikoro, a former minister of state for defense. Jelili Adesiyan, a former minister of police affairs. When Mr. Koli learned that the army was planning to arrest him, he was forced into hiding. However, the army had his younger brother, a 15-year-old secondary school student, seized, held, and tortured.

Fayose

As Mr. Koli refused to come out of hiding to verify the footage, former President Goodluck Jonathan declined to look into the video. Additionally, the army attested to Mr. Momoh's retirement. General Momoh and others have retired from the Army, according to Sani Usman, the army's spokesperson, who was speaking to the Punch newspaper. AD Kogi According to the publication, colonel Usman declined to provide more information. The former army spokeswoman, Brigadier-General Olajide Laleye, was another senior officer who retired on the panel's advice, according to The Punch.

BECKHAM FEUD WITH FERGUSON

The notorious event that brought an end to Beckham's Man Utd career TV footage turned to Sir Alex Ferguson sitting on the Manchester United bench as David Beckham's last-ditch free kick cleared the crossbar and went into the Stretford End. The Scot was heard saying, "Ah, f*** it," and dropping his arm in annoyance. It doesn't matter that Beckham scored twice after coming off the bench to keep United's hopes of catching the Ronaldo-led Real Madrid alive in a game that had already gotten away from them.

 Beckham's United career was officially gone, and Ferguson's team was eliminated from the Champions League. Just over 20 years have passed since the notorious "boot kicking" incident that strained relations between United's intimidating manager and the guy known as "Goldenballs," whose international notoriety went beyond football.

Beckham

Unsurprisingly, Beckham discusses the bizarre event that caused him to leave Old Trafford in the two-minute clip. He simulates the moment when Ferguson's errant boot smacks him above the left eye while it is still on the dressing room floor. In an attempt to mimic how he rose up and "went after" Ferguson, Beckham gets up from his seat. Beckham is presumably aware that questions regarding this will be raised for as long as he takes breaths. In fact, in the two decades that have passed, there have already been several reports of it from both sides.

A few months prior to the Real Madrid match, it happened on February 15, 2003, during an FA Cup fifth-round match against Arsenal. United's dreams of winning the domestic Double or another Treble were dashed after playing badly and losing to their key rivals 2-0. Before Edu's free-kick took a crucial deflection off Beckham's shoulder and caught goalkeeper Fabien Barthez off guard, Ryan Giggs had inexplicably missed an open goal.

Edu set up Sylvain Wiltord to extend Arsenal's lead seven minutes after halftime, ensuring their progress into the quarterfinals. The rivalry between these two teams was at its height, and United took a significant psychological hit as a result of Arsenal's victory. It happened nine months after Wiltord's goal at Old Trafford gave the Gunners the Premier League championship. Beckham had a difficult season. He lost his starting position due to an injury, and there was tension between him and Ferguson because the manager thought Beckham's support group was making overtures to Real Madrid.

 

The 'Galactico' period of the Spanish giants, during which they would sign the biggest names in the world at any price, was at its height. They had Beckham squarely in their crosshairs. Later in 2003, Beckham published his autobiography My Side, in which he accused Ferguson of single-out him for severe criticism following the Arsenal defeat. What about the second objective, David? Who or what were you? Before the game, we informed you about it. The issue is that you won't engage in conversation with anyone. You don't listen,' allegedly Ferguson said. In an attempt to prove his innocence, Beckham claimed that during his more than eight years playing for United's first team, he had never disobeyed a single directive from Ferguson.

The manager, however, was not amused. David, you've got to own up when you're wrong, he responded. I thought I was being bullied in front of everyone. I was being forced into a corner just out of malice. I felt entrapped," wrote Beckham. Beckham, the captain of England, then cursed at his boss. The boss approached me by moving a few steps. On the ground was a boot. He kicked it with a swing of his leg. At me? toward the wall? Due to his current level of rage, it might have been anyplace.

 

Ferguson

However, Beckham felt a string and a trickle of blood as Ferguson's booted foot traveled from his toe to his forehead. "I targeted the gaffer." I'm not sure if I've ever lost control in such a way before. According to Beckham, all of a sudden, it resembled a crazy scene from a mafia film. In what must have been a startled hush, he remembered how Giggs, Gary Neville, and Ruud van Nistelrooy responded quickly to stop him from attacking Ferguson. Ferguson apologized while Becks received stitches at the hospital, and Becks recalled that Ferguson's enraged wife Victoria wanted to face the management herself.

For the month of August, the three levels of government received an allocation of N1.1 trillion from the federation account thanks to the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC). In a statement made public following its meeting in September 2023, FAAC announced the distribution of the money. The N1.1 trillion in income was made up of statutory revenue of N357.398 billion, VAT revenue of N321.94 billion, EMTL revenue of N14.1 billion, exchange difference revenue of N229.568 billion, and augmentation of N177.09 billion.

In August 2023, there was N1.48 trillion in total income available, while N58.755 trillion was deducted for collection costs, N254.046 trillion was transferred and refunded, and N71 trillion was saved, according to the communiqué. A total of N 891.934 billion in gross statutory income was reported for the month of August 2023, which is N258.49 billion less than the N1.15 trillion reported for the month of July 2023. The total amount of gross VAT income that was available was N345.727 billion, which was N46.938 billion more than the N298.789 billion that was available in July 2023.

 According to the communiqué, out of the N1.1 trillion in total income, the federal government collected N431.245 billion, the state governments N361.18 billion, and the local government councils N266.538 billion. VAT, Import and Excise Duties, and the Electronic Money Transfer Levy (EMTL) all had considerable increases in August, whilst the Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT), the Companies Income Tax (CIT), and Oil and Gas Royalties all saw notable declines. The Excess Crude Account (ECA) has a balance of $473,754.57.

ALIEN INVASION

A playful dog entered the pitch at the 90+1 minute mark and interrupted play to engage in a game of soccer. Surprisingly, the goalie gave the ball to the hungry puppy, who snatched it up and started running across the field with pleasure. Every time the lively dog managed to escape custody by security personnel or players, the spectators would yell "oles" in support.

Dog

The instant the dog grabbed the ball and carried it from the border of the penalty area to the middle of the soccer field, it was clear that it was excited. Security staff and the players joined the chase, making it hilarious. The lively invader was briefly contained, but it again made a bold getaway. Fortunately, a brave staff member lured it with a different ball and guided the dog toward the changing area.

MOROCCO TO HOST IN 2025 AFCON

According to the Confederation of African Football (Caf), Morocco will host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania's combined candidacy for hosting the competition in 2027 also succeeded. Guinea was replaced by Morocco after being disqualified from the competition in October of last year due to issues with the facilities and infrastructure. Additional bids for 2025 included Zambia and one from Nigeria and Benin together. However, they decided to back out so that Morocco could demonstrate its worth in the hopes that it would boost the likelihood that Africa will host the World Cup.

The alternatives for both competitions, according to CAF President Patrice Motsepe, would have "proud" Africa. He noted that the bids' quality of infrastructure, including amenities, lodging, and hospitals, had been taken into account while making judgments. "The decision that was taken today was to focus on African unity, development, and growth, in the context of those countries withdrawing," Motsepe said of Morocco's victory, which also followed Algeria's withdrawal on the day of the vote. "Morocco is receiving a sizable amount of funding until 2025. The whole continent of Africa is included in Morocco's bid to host the World Cup.

The selection of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania marks the first time since Ethiopia in 1976 that countries from the Council for East and Central African Football Associations (Cecafa) would host the competition. Motsepe said, "The three countries got together because our criteria and regulations are quite high, similar to those of the South American Football Confederation (Conmebol) and the European administrative organization Uefa. Infrastructure projects can cost hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars. When football unites nations, it makes me happy. The AFCON 2027 will be a big success.

ATIKU ACCUSED TINUBU OF LYING AGAIN

Phrank Shaibu, Atiku Abubakar's special assistant on public communications, has warned Nigerians to be aware of what he characterized as a planned strategy by President Bola Tinubu's government to employ propaganda to mislead people.

In a statement released on Sunday in Abuja, Shaibu urged Nigerians not to believe the sincere regret expressed by Chief Ajuri Ngelale, the President's Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, and others because "they are only sorry they got caught." He claims that the President's handlers have been exposed to at least ten humiliating lies that have been spread throughout Nigeria over 117 days. He said, "It is ample proof that Tinubu's administration will use propaganda as a state policy because he has more media aides than economic and security experts.

"I would advise the Nigerian media to always fact-check every assertion made by this administration in order to preserve their credibility. Go outdoors to see if the sun is shining if the Tinubu administration declares that it is morning. "These are the 10 lies of the Tinubu regime I have compiled so far," Shaibu continued.

"1. In his inauguration speech, Bola Tinubu made the false claim that the gasoline subsidy was no longer in effect. With the price of waste oil at $94 a barrel and the naira trading at N1,000 to $1, diesel is currently about N1,000 per liter while gasoline is still about N620.  The stance that all oil marketers have maintained is that gasoline is now being subsidized is evident to the astute mind. Nigerians shouldn't fall for lies. The assertion by Tinubu that there is no subsidy is a devil's advocate falsehood, and the fact that they are even withholding the data indicates a lack of openness and the likelihood that more money is being taken.

"2. The second falsehood spread by these charlatans was that all Nigerians were now free to travel to Dubai since the United Arab Emirates had instantly abolished its prohibition on the country's citizens obtaining visas. Many undiscerning Nigerians, whose only sin was to trust the false statements of an unreliable administration, enthusiastically cheered this deception. Later, UAE authorities told CNN that everything was a hoax. What a shame for the country!

"3. This dishonest government's third falsehood is that Tinubu was the first president of an African country to ring the NASDAQ bell. Since then, it has been shown that Jakaya Kikwete, the president of Malawi, rang the bell on September 21, 2011.

4. The US Presidential Envoy and Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, Ambassador Molly Phee, was cited in a statement made by Ajuri Ngelale on August 27, 2023, as saying, "President Joe Biden is asking to meet with you on the sidelines of UNGA and you are the only African leader he has requested to meet. It shows how highly he regards your leadership. As Tinubu left the UNGA and never saw President Biden, this has proven to be yet another humiliating falsehood.

"5. Tinubu's assertion that "We have retooled the exchange rate to a reliable, trustworthy one figure floating off the naira" was a fifth falsehood uttered on the NASDAQ floor. You are allowed to bring in money and take money out. But this is yet another devilish deception. The I&E Window's exchange rate is around N780 for every $1, but the parallel market's rate is over N1,000 for every $1. Additionally, international airlines still have approximately $600 million in money that is trapped in Nigeria. Due to this, Tinubu was lying when he declared, "You are free to take in your money and bring out your money."

"6. On August 14, 2023, the Nigerian government announced on its official Twitter account that terrorists gathered in Kurebe in Shiroro LGA in Niger State had been struck by a Nigerian Air Force strike. The terrorists, according to the administration, were defeated. Now, Premium Times has uncovered in its most recent investigation that this is all misinformation since the people who died were unarmed citizens. Is it not terrible how the Bola Tinubu administration's falsehoods have now spread to the military? The body of the fish cannot survive corruption after the head has gone bad.

"7. The Cenprogram of Nigeria said on September 6, 2023, that it will infuse $10 billion into the foreign exchange market within two weeks to eliminate the FX backlog as part of Bola Tinubu's marketing campaign. No money has been pumped into the system for days after the deadline expired while the naira continues to plunge.  There is no institution that Tinubu's administration can save from destruction.

"8. Tinubu declared, "As your President, I shall serve with a bias towards none," in his inauguration speech. But it now appears that this was just another outright falsehood. With all important appointments in every sector going to a certain region of the nation, including CBN, FIR Customs, the army, police, and immigration, while he serves as the petroleum and gas minister, Tinubu has been operating a government that is managed by, for, and by the clannish. Only five ministers were chosen from the southeast by Tinubu, who picked ten from the southwest. If this is not biased, what else is it?

9. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited announced last month that it had secured a $3 billion Afrexim loan that would assist in stabilizing the naira. We alerted people that everything was a hoax to fool Nigerians. We now have justification since Afrexim Bank has declined to comment on the naira's current black market rate of $1/N1,000. Simply put, this was audio cash.

10. The Student Loan Act, which Tinubu signed on June 12, was maybe the largest fraud and deception of his administration. The new law solely permits student loans for tuition. It doesn't pay for any further schooling costs. All federal government schools started raising tuition once the bill was signed. However, Dele Alake, who was the Special Advisor on Media at the time, stated in a

claim that all public schools continue to offer free tuition and that the only fees that have grown are those for housing, labs, libraries, and other expenses. Therefore, if tuition is free and the Student Loan Act only applies to tuition fees, the Student Loan Act is useless and no money would be disbursed under it.

released. In essence, Tinubu's administration has pushed government schools to raise tuition while forgoing student loans. This is the height of depravity and dishonesty.

DAPO ABIODUN RECONCILES WITH AMOSUN'S FOLLOWERS

Abiodun asked all party members to get past their mistakes and strive to reposition the party to accomplish its goals and advance the socioeconomic progress of the nation.

The members, who came from the state's 20 local government areas (LGAs), were welcomed by the state governor, Dapo Abiodun, at the Presidential Lodge in Abeokuta. He praised them for their "loyalty" and for standing firm in their convictions.

"I want to compliment you on your sense of leadership loyalty, which is not only good, but also admirable. It is admirable.We need to cultivate and spread this culture. It is a civilization that is quickly disappearing. It's a culture we're rapidly erasing. Loyalty is unconditional.Others decide to relocate when things start to go wrong. But you remained where you were. This spirit of loyalty should be imitated.We must recognize that a party can only have one leader at any given moment. As the party's leader, "I appreciate the responsibility placed upon me and it is my obligation to work toward the collective and individual welfare of our members."

In order to realize the party's goals and fight for the socioeconomic growth of the state, he asked all members to put the past in the past and move forward. I greet you today with the same delight that the prodigal son's father in the Bible felt when his son found his way home."To those who are joining us, please let us show a feeling of loyalty. To those who did not leave, please let us accept our brothers and sisters back.

You will be completely integrated, I can tell you of that," Abiodun remarked. Yemi Sanusi, the State Chairman of the APC, said during his speech at the event that conflicts are inevitable in all human relationships. "Even in a time of war, there is always a place for peaceful settlement of the conflict," he remarked, asking the returnees to completely integrate with other party members. Derin Adebiyi, the group's leader, said that everyone in the group had decided to rejoin the "mainstream" in order to advance both the party and the nation as a whole. We appreciate being welcomed back, and we thank the governor and party members," he stated.
