MALAM El Rufai, appears to be one of the arrows aimed at making Christians very uncomfortable in Nigeria, by anti- Christian Forces of this country. In January 2013, the former FCT, Abuja Minister wanted to please his god fathers in politics,as a governor ship aspirant in Kaduna State, twitted an insult on the person of Jesus Christ, claiming Jesus had sex with Mary Magdalene.

Thank God it was a bullet-proof car. Thank God Koro asked his mobile police security not to return fire for fire. If I had lost my life that day.

The craze for higher education in Nigeria is almost assuming the character and temperament of the accustomed weird politicking in the country.

WHAT Edo people will always remember Governor Adams Oshiomhole for is the urban renewal programme of his administration. On assumption of office, he assured Edo people that he was going to fix the roads in the state since they were in deplorable conditions and the drainage system in Benin city was poor.

ERUESE’S mother knew what was going on, even if she did not encourage it. She put her daughter in harm’s way and is complicit in the so called abduction.
