The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Enoch Adeboye has reportedly stated that he doesn’t trust politicians because they are liars.

The respected cleric, who was at the institution for a two-day interdenominational prayer session, also added that politicians are not trustworthy because they don’t fulfill promises made. “I don’t trust politicians; politicians are liars.

Okocha deserved CAF awards- Hayatou

CAF President, Hayatou Issa regrets: Okocha deserved CAF awards By Ben Efe Confederation of African Football president, Issa Hayatou was of the view that Nigerian football legend, Austin ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha deserved to have won the highest African football honour for all his masterful displays during his playing days. In 2003 and 2004 respectively when Okocha was at his best, the African player of the year award eluded him, much to the surprise of most Nigerian soccer enthusiasts conversant with African football. Instead, Samuel Eto’o was crowned back to back for those years, with Didier Drogba as runner’s up, while Okocha was third. Coincidentally, the former Super Eagles midfield maestro was voted back to back as the BBC African player of the year for the same period. This led to conspiracy theories that there was a Francophone gang-up against Okocha, who is from Nigeria, an Anglophone country. “If I have any regret that will be not winning The African Footballer of the Year. But then,

U.S. trade deficit drops

U.S. trade deficit drops to 11-Month low The United States trade deficit fell in November to the lowest level in 11 months as crude oil imports dropped to a two-decade low. The trade deficit narrowed to $39 billion in November, down 7.7 percent from a revised October deficit of $42.2 billion, the Commerce Department said on Wednesday. United States exports slipped 1 percent to $196.4 billion as sales of commercial airliners fell. Imports dropped even faster, falling 2.2 percent to $235.4 billion, which was primarily a reflection of foreign oil declines. The volume of crude oil imported in November hit its lowest level since 1994, while the average price dropped to a two-year low. The United States trade deficit is being helped by falling global oil prices and a boom in American energy production, which has decreased the country’s reliance on imports. The November deficit was the lowest since a trade gap of $37.4 billion in December 2013. Through the first 11 months of 2014, the defi

SEX AND YOU

How much sex should you be having?   How much sex are you getting? Do you take a roll in the hay every night, once or twice a week, monthly or at no particular time? For the good of your own relationship, how much sex should you be having? Many couples do find infrequent sex to be an issue. While some are fine with the occasional 5-minutes romp under the sheets, others wish they were getting a whole lot more. There are women who worry that their men demand too much sex and secretly wish they’d slow down. But a lot more men complain that it is their women that are not giving it up as often as they (men) desire. More than next door On the whole, the average couple is happy if it thinks it’s getting more sex than the couple next door regardless of how much it’s actually getting. Having more sex than your neighbours can actually make you happy, and research shows that couples who have sex at least two to three times a month are more likely to report a higher level of happiness than those w

Jonathan’s campaign-Enugu

Jonathan’s campaign train hit Enugu By Francis Igata Since the advent of democracy in 1999, Enugu State has shown its unwavering support for the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP. As the President Goodluck Jonathan presidential campaign train got to Enugu on January 9, from Lagos State where the presidential campaign was flagged off, residents trooped out en mass to identify with PDP amid excitement. jonathan-in-Enugu-Campaign THE Electorate in Enugu State has over time demonstrated its unflinching resolve to identify with PDP. That accounts for the bandwagon effect among politicians as the party is seen as the most viable vehicle for achieving political aspiration. Thus, the state chapter of the party made efforts to convince President Jonathan during the visit that Enugu is a PDP state even though some observers believe that the February 14 presidential election will be a keen contest between Jonathan and his major opponent from the All Progressives Congress, APC, Major-General Mu

RITA DOMINIC WILL SEE YOU NOW

ENTER: RITA DOMINIC WILL SEE YOU NOW Written By Oluwaseun Adenuga Previously when certain Nigerian actresses were accepting foreign labels as the best things to happen to our film industry, I was quick to join the bandwagon and share those sentiments. I like everybody may have been blinded-sided by the hype. However, couple years down the line the true color of said situation is coming to fore. Mention Nollywood and 3 actresses instantly appear synonymously: Genevieve, Omotola and Rita, in that order. Whether that order is dead-on isn’t the bone of contention right now, the deep-rooted misconception about fame and merit is the crux of this missive. As the Nollywood gods of fame and fortune dictates, Genevieve with her good looks and screen charm is to lead the pack of our tinseltown’s screen divas. And she has come a long way. From small-town girl to international phenomenon, there’s little left in the way of hindrance for this movie star. She almost has done it all. First ever Nigeria
