President Muhammadu Buhari Monday in New York called on the international community to urgently redouble its efforts to strengthen mechanisms for dismantling safe havens for proceeds of corruption. Addressing world leaders at the 70th General Assembly of the United Nations, President Buhari reaffirmed his administration’s determination to frontally confront the twin evils of corruption and illicit financial outflows as he also urged his counterparts to do more to return stolen funds and assets to their countries of origin. “Let me reaffirm the Nigerian government’s unwavering commitment to fight corruption and illicit financial flows. By any consideration, corruption and cross border financial crimes are impediments to development, economic growth, and the realization of the well-being of citizens across the globe. “Nigeria is ready and willing to partner with international agencies and individual countries on a bilateral basis to confront crimes and corruption.

Hey Guys what do you think about the Mismatched Trendy Earrings in Vogue now. Would you be Caught wearing such?

‘…God created mankind in His own image…’ Genesis 1:27 NIV The Bible calls you a ‘child of God’. Stop and consider what that means. God’s creativity is already built into your DNA; your job is to recognise it, release it and put it to work. Advertising executive George Lois said, ‘Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.’ But for your creativity to be released, you must first identify the barriers and start taking them down. Here’s a common one: ‘We’ve always done it this way.’ People who say that have stopped thinking for themselves. They’re just putting in their time, waiting for a pay packet and going home at the end of the day without thinking, reflecting or even considering the possibilities of change. If you’re one of these people, it’s time to wake up and start looking around you. Mind-deadening routine is the cancer of creativity. If you mindlessly go about your business the same way every day, your

          The trial of the Senate President, Dr. Olubukola Saraki, at the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT, sitting in Abuja,commenced on a dramatic note this morning, with the accused person, refusing to mount the dock. The trial tribunal, headed by Justice Danladi Umar, called up Saraki’s case at exactly 10:32am. However Saraki’s has been docked and pleaded not guilty to the 13 corruption charges. The Senate President who is currently sandwiched by his colleagues and friends inside the court at first called the bluff of the tribunal by retaining his seat. “Where is the prosecution, is the accused person here?”, Justice Umar who was looking directly at Saraki from his vantage post, queried. “Mr lord I cannot see him. I think the first thing is for him to enter the dock first, then we will announce our appearances. After which the charge will be read to him”, the prosecuting counsel, Mr. Rotimi Jacobs submitted. “With profound respect to the chairman and membe

‘He who…forgives an offence seeks love, but he who…harps on a matter separates…friends.’ Proverbs 17:9 AMP Countless friendships are destroyed because one person gets offended by something the other one said or did. A mark of spiritual growth is how quickly you get over slights and insults; the more mature you are, the less time it takes to ‘forgive an offence’ and move on.  One Christian writer says: ‘Okay, your friend ditches you and your feelings are hurt…or she’s too busy to return your phone call or email…or you’re out to dinner with another couple and the other man insults your husband in an attempt to be funny …Offences come…Jesus said they would (John 16:33). People are people. If you’ve been offended by a friend, or felt slighted, get over it! Hit the Control>Alt>Delete buttons. Don’t let bitterness even think about putting down roots…"Love…is not irritable…it keeps no record of being wronged…never gives up…and endures through every circumstance” (1
