Pastor Chris Oyakhilome accused of hiring people to fake miracles in South Africa by Ukpono Etuk

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of Christ Embassy has been accused of faking miracles in South Africa.
According to a report, some church members have accused the renowned pastor of hiring people to pretend to be sick and disabled. These actors are then healed during his television shows and public prayer meetings.
The report quoted a member of the church saying;
“I was offered R10,000 to rehearse and pretend to be in a wheelchair three weeks before the all-night prayer called Night of Bliss at the Johannesburg Stadium,”
“The pastor told me that they were looking for people to work for the church. He said that I was going to sit in a wheelchair and be wheeled around while pretending to be physically ill. I would then stand up and walk as soon as Pastor Chris stopped praying for me.
“Even children who are healthy are whisked around in wheelchairs. Some use crutches.
“Everyone is allocated a person who tells the congregation about your background, your specific illness and suffering.
“The pastor then raises his hands and places them maybe on your legs if you cannot walk, and a few seconds later you get up and walk around the room,”
The source also claimed he called the church to turn down their offer.
“I just told myself that using the word of God to lie to desperate people is immoral, so I refused to take up their offer.”

Kayode Fayemi: I leave Governor Fayose and his regime to God by Ukpono Etuk

The Ekiti state governor-elect, Kayode Fayemi has said he has left incumbent Governor Ayo Fayose to God to judge after leaving office. 

He said he would accept whatever liability and assets left behind by the outgoing government, saying he believed government is a continuum, and that he was coming to office to simply make a difference.

 The News Agency of Nigeria, (NAN) reports that Fayemi spoke while receiving the report of the transition committee constituted to interface with the outgoing administration to facilitate smooth change of government. 

He promised to make a drastic change in the life of the people the moment he is sworn to office on October 16. 

NAN reports that the governor-elect was reacting to the latest debt figure released by the Debt Management Office (DMO) which revealed that the debt profile increased from N18 billion during Fayemi’s era to N117 billion, under Fayose’s watch. 

The committee had told Fayemi that the humongous debt was outside arrears of salaries, pensions, gratuities and money owed retirees and contractors by the Fayose administration. 

Fayemi also suggested the enactment of a law to be known as transition act that would stipulate the duties of an outgoing administration and an incoming administration to pave the way for seamless transfer of power. 

This he said had become imperative, given the uncooperative attitude and difficulties the committee faced in meeting with officials of the outgoing government as well its refusal to allow his own committee obtain information from it. 

According to Fayemi, if such law were in place, it would have been difficult for an outgoing government to refuse to cooperate with his transition committee. 

He said such laws are already operating in countries like Ghana, Kenya, South Africa and the western world. 

“The chairman (of the committee) talks about liabilities, that is what government is all about, assets and liabilities, government is a continuum “We are not unmindful of the fact that there will be debts but we are focused on our agenda to make a difference in the lives of our people “So for us, we leave whatever that is done by the outgoing government to God and God will handle that in the best way possible.

“We want to focus on making the difference in the life of our people, so our people remain our priority “We hope some reason will prevail between now and inauguration day for the outgoing government to come up with the information this committee has been asking for since it was inaugurated.”he said The governor-elect, who promised to hit the ground running after taking the oath of office on October 16, also charged aspirants to national and state legislatures in the All Progressives Congress (APC) to familiarise themselves with the contents of the report. 

Earlier while submitting his reports to Fayemi, its chairman, Senator Olubunmi Adetunmbi said the outgoing government agents refused to cooperate with the committee. 

He however said the sub-committees of the transition committee was able to meet with 76 interest groups outside of government, including labour unions, interest groups, civil society bodies, development partners who assisted with information of what is going on in the outgoing administration. 

“The report we are submitting to you represents the voice of the peoplethat voted you (Fayemi),and it contains what they want in the short term, medium term and in the long term,” he said.

How To Make Your Girlfriend Think About You by Ukpono Etuk

It doesn’t matter if you’re in a new relationship or have been going steady for years – the feeling of knowing that she’s thinking about you is simply out of this world. However as is often the case, you seldom get what you want. Sometimes it’s because of your actions, sometimes it’s because of someone else’s actions and sometimes it’s something totally out of your control. But what if we told you that making her think about you is not as difficult as you think it is?
Does that leave your excited, knowing that you can make your woman think and day dream about you like you’ve always wanted? Then read on! This article is powered by www.humbsblog.com

How to Make Her Think About You
Here are some good tips you should follow because they will ensure that special lady in your life will always miss you in your absence. These tips are a mixed bag – some are meant for people in relationships, while others are for those new to dating.


1. Spend some time apart
This is an especially good piece of advice for couples who have been together or even living together for many years. The thing is that absence makes the heart grow fonder. Plus, being completely emotionally dependent on your partner isn’t healthy for you. Take some time out to explore things that you like to do, and do them with your friends, family or even yourself.
2. Don’t go overboard with communication
In today’s time with so many different ways of communicating with your loved ones, it’s next to impossible not to be in touch with each other 24×7. But here’s the thing – the sooner you limit the time you interact with her, the better it is for you. Avoid long phone or text conversations, more so if this is something you’re doing on a daily basis. If you are this available to her constantly, her chances of missing you are zero.
3. Take it nice and easy
There’s no need to rush into things; you will most likely crash and burn. Get to know each other at a slower pace. It also allows you to maintain an air of mystery. And if you’re a little bit mysterious to her, then you don’t have to worry about how to make her think about you because she’s already spending her time trying to understand you.
4. Surprise her
You need to keep the spark alive in a long-term relationship or start a spark in a new relationship. Either way, the best way to go about it is to surprise her. And these surprises don’t have to be something expensive or elaborate. Give her flowers for no reason or the latest edition of her fav comic book series. It’s the little things that count.
5. Give her something that reminds her of you
Now this could be something as cute as the ticket stubs of the first film you two watched together, your cap or tie that you left at her place the first time you spent the night at her house, or just something that only you know about her like her secret collection of frog statues. If you’re too broke to buy her stuff, then just say some kind words to her every now and then.
6. Treat her like a human when complimenting her
Don’t view her as a piece of meat. Compliments like “Baby, you got a hot ass” or “Those tits are to die for” are not only cheap, but also tell her you don’t think of her more than just another piece of ass. You have to go the extra mile if you want to work on how to make her think about you.
Compliment her smile, her eyes, her laugh, or the way she tilts her head when she kisses you or how easy it is to make her blush. Focus on things she may have not noticed about herself; that’s where you’ll have her immediate attention. And once you leave, she’ll be left swooning over the compliments you give her.
7. Do something personal for her
If you’re too shy or awkward to express your feelings through words, then don’t worry. You can easily show her how you feel via your actions. Always be there for her, be her shoulder to lean on, and be reliable, faithful and trustworthy. You can also go the extra mile to do stuff for her that nobody else would do, like buying tickets to that hipster band she loves so much but never has enough money to go to their concert.
8. Break your rituals from time to time
Want to know how to make her think about you by this method? Let me illustrate this with an example. Let’s say you call or text her every night before going to sleep, tell her that you love her, or simply wish her a good night. From time to time, just don’t call or text her. That will immediately make her think about you, wondering why you didn’t call or text. The worst case scenario is that you tell her a fib like that you were too exhausted to remember, where she will still end up thinking about you. The best case scenario is that she will be the one to call or text you and wish you a good night because she has been thinking about you. Either way, it’s a win-win situation for you.

IKONO/INI HOUSE OF REPS SEAT 2019: VICTOR UDOFIA CONSOLIDATES HOUSE OF REPS BID by Ukpono Etuk

Consults State PDP Chairman and other relevant stakeholders.

Governor Udom's reelection is a higher priority than mine - Victor Udofia


Leading aspirant for the Ikono/Ini House of Reps seat 2019, Rt. Hon. Victot today consulted the State PDP Chairman, Obong Paul Ekpo an d other relevant stakeholders as he further rallies support for his Ikono/Ini House of reps ambition.


The member led his Victorious Victor Campaign Organisation Central Working Committee and teeming supporters to pay respect to the party Chairman and officially inform him of his desire to represent Ikono/Ini in the green chambers in 2019.


Addressing the Party Chairman during the consultation, the two time law maker thanked the party for graciously giving him the opportunity to serve his people in the House of Assembly while stating that his visit to the Chairman was to prove that the party was supreme. He reiterated his unalloyed support for the PDP and the reelection bid of Governor Udom Emanuel whom he described as a winning team.


"My position is very clear and that's that we need the state and for us to have a state we need a Governor in Udom Emmanuel. His message comes first and i keep on preaching it consistently and steadfastly. Udom Emmanuel is the winning team and its impossible to change a winning team", he said.


The State PDP Legal Adviser, Barr. Goddy Umoh speaking stressed that politics was about capacity and as such the party would not give the ticket to anyone who cannot prove his capability of winning the general election. Udofia's visit he said was ordained by God for a special purpose, urging the member to keep up the good work.


The State Chairman, Obong Paul Ekpo in his response thanked the member for respecting the traditions of the party.  He blessed the member and prayed God to guide him through out the election period.


"Politics has structure and you don't wake up one morning to build structure. The party is watching all the candidates and we will run a free, fair and credible election. The era of impunity is over in the party. If Victor has a commendable scorecard, his music and the reality will play itself", he said


The campaign train afterwards visited the home of Otuekong Idongesit Nkanga, Director General of the Divine Mandate who heartily welcomed the team. The member while addressing the former military Governor reiterated his commitment to the PDP promising to work assiduously for Governor Udom Emmanuel's reelection.


Otuekong Nkanga in his response lauded the member for being a good, honest and dependable man whose capacity could not be questioned. He stated that there was a deeper concern which was the return of Governor Udom Emmanuel. Zoning in the Governorship arrangement he said was necessitated for the sake of power sharing in the State to taste power urging Ibibio people to rise up, speak with one voice and ensure that some misguided elements don't thwart the political arrangement for their selfish gains.


"I can't cast my vote for Victor but i will cast my word for him. When the wind of defections swept across the state,Victor Udofia was the first person to come to me to declare he was going no where. We must stand up and say with one voice that Udom Emmanuel must return as Governor. Forget about federal might and those who brag that they will cede the State and the South south to the APC. When the people are with you, there is nothing anyone can do" he concluded.


The Uyo residence of the Political leader of Ikono, Sir. Sunday Udo Akpan was the next port of call. The Director General of the Central working committee, Elder Godwin Usoro in presenting the member to the leader stated that the aspirant deemed it necessary to inform his father of his ambition as a show of respect and loyalty.


Rt.Hon.Victor Udofia in his speech thanked Sir. Akpan for the fatherly role he plays in the politics of the Local Government stating that Ikono/Ini was yet to benefit from federal presence hence the need for a change in the status quo. He sued for support from the political leader and assured him of his readiness to restore the glory of the constituency if given the mandate.


Several speakers at the event including Barr. Steve Okunnyang, the Chapter PDP legal adviser gave credence to the credibility, experience and capacity of the member stressing that he deserved the support of all progress minded Ikono/Ini citizens.


In his response, Sir. S.U Akpan said Rt.Hon. Victor Udofia was the first to ever consult him for political reasons. He thanked him for recognising his relevance and pledged his support for the Udofia cause since he was accepted by the generality of the people. Governor Udom Emmanuel he said deserved support owing to his concerted efforts in bringing sustainable development to the State, urging everyone to stand by him to secure the future of the State. He thereafter presented a book authored by him to the member and the central working committee titled: "The path to manifesting greatness and excellence in character" to aid them in their journey. Sir. Akpan offered prayers for the member urging him to coast to victory with God on his side.

AN ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECT OF PRIVATIZATION AND COMMERCIALIZATION ON THE NIGERIAN ECONOMY by Ukpono Etuk

ABSTRACT
When the economic fortune of the organization of petroleum exporting countries (OPEC) nations suffered a tragic experience due to the sudden fall of the oil price in the eighties and nineties, the economy system of its members became a source of concerned as the survival of their organs was greatly threaten. Due to the sudden fall of the oil prices, several developing nations, therefore, evolved strategies that will pull them out of the economic being one of the country  affected was not excluded and one of the strategy to be employed was to privatize and commercialize government public enterprises which many believed will lead the country out of her economic wound.
Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is one of the public enterprises owned by the federal government of Nigeria to provide petroleum product to the populace. The wind of the economic recession that spreads across the country didn’t spare NNPC. NNPC got it share couple with mismanagement of resources by those responsible to manage the day-to-day affairs of the organization. These led to their in ability to meet the aims and objectives of setting them up. The only way out seems to privatize and commercialized the sector to have enough funds to meet its service to the populace through selling of shares and foreign investment.
This programme will not only make funds available but also provide better management and managerial skill for effectiveness and efficiency.
The study will examine its positive and negative on the enterprises. The Nigeria economy, employees and Nigerian government.
CHAPTER ONE
1.1INTRODUCTION
Privatization means the sales of public enterprises to private hands through the sale of share. The privatization programme in Nigeria is mean to benefit almost all Nigerians. While, Commercialization is the selling of share of some of the government to make them operate as profit making venture. It is the re-organization of enterprises in such a way that they shall operate as profit making commercial ventures and without subvention from the federal government. Commercialization can come in two forms;
v Public enterprises are expected to operate profitably on commercial basis and to be able to raises fund from the capital market without government guarantee.
v Public enterprises which may be considered by the government for capital grant to finance their capital intensive project.
1.2HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Privatization and commercialization was first hinted by the Shagari Government of Second Republic followed by Buhari’s Regime, but was only given priority in 1986 speech when the then president Babangida said that parastatals have constitute an unnecessary high burden on government resources. As from 1986 the volume of non-statutory transfer to all economic and Quasi-economic parastatals constitute not more than 50% of their present levels”
In essence, president Babangida Had went further to expressed out the position of government in relation or with respects to the public enterprises with regard to their performance, and criticized them as follows;
v Been inefficient in their operations.
v They are avenue for corruptions.
v Financial burden on government
v They are not making return in respect to investment made on them.
Other views are that government involvement in enterprises is the failure in economic development and that business is not a venture for government.
1.3 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
As the country developed and the economy expanded many public enterprises in the country find it difficult to render effective service. A number of problems were responsible for the ineffective performance of these corporations and enterprises. They include;
v In appropriate capitalization from inception.
v Improper definition of roles and objective for setting them up.
v Total government ownership which did not encourage profit orientation operations.
v Influence of political environment.
v Poor funding conditions of service and work environment
v Poor organization structure.
v Poor attitude to work on the part of workers of the corporation who believed that government would always provided subvention for the payment of their salaries and wages.
v Unnecessary interference in the management of the corporation by the supervising agencies of the government.
v The partial failure of the antagonization Degree.
v The windily foreign earning from export of petroleum which had become the main stay of the economy by the end of the 1970’s
v The heavy linkage of natural expenditure and product to imports resulting in heavy foreign debt burden from the early 1980’s and the poor performance of public enterprises and corporations, all combined to create rapid and serious down ward trend in the Nigerian economy.
Hence, in 1988, decree 25 was promulgated to recognize such enterprises. Thus, government corporations were commercialized. Now a second phase of the programme was inaugurated by the present administration taking a new step. The focus of the paper the examination of the success or other wise of the programme on public enterprises in Nigeria.
1.4SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY

1.8        LIMITATION AND DELIMITATION OF STUDY
1.8.1  LIMITATION
To undertake a study of this nature is not easy because it is a wide field of study and thus has various limitation/problem.
The first limitation is for the success of any research work depends on availability of fund. The fund is needed for buying of materials, browsing etc.
In the case of primary data. The respondent may not be granted the audience for interview another limitation is high cost place or more current information on the net.

Final Year Students Drink Muddy Water To Celebrate Graduation by Ukpono Etuk


As universities are coming to the end of a session, final year students are engaging in so many memorable final year activities.  While some have made it to the internet and gone viral for best dressed or wild poses or for their costumes, others have just left us wondering what the heck is actually going in the heads of these final year students.
A final year moment captured by one of the students of the Federal College of Education (Technical) Umunze in Anambra State, pictures final year students celebrating after writing their final exam on Thursday.
In front of what seems to be a student lodge, seats a young man, surrounded by his fellow guys, being fed what I want to believe is tea and not muddy water and also pouring it all over him.
See pictures below.
