Apostle Suleman insists he is a man of peace

- Apostle Suleman said he has no grudge against the DSS - The religious cleric said he should have been duly invited - He denied asking Christians to kill Muslims Apostle Johnson Suleman has denied ordering Christians to kill Muslims insisting that he is an advocate of peace. The religious cleric who is the founder of Omega Fire Ministries Worldwide spoke on the heels of the attempted arrest by operatives of the Department of State Service in Ado Ekiti where he was eventually taken away by Governor Ayodele Fayose. Daily Post reports that Suleman insisted that he did not order Christians to go after Muslims but that they should defend themselves when under attack from killer herdsmen. He spoke on Wednesday, January 25 where he said his statement was misinterpreted and that it was sinful for any man to order the killing of another person. He said: “They said I preached in Auchi two weeks ago which they said implied that I was instigating Christians against Muslims . I have always been an advocate of peace and I can’t stay around and be saying such. There widows, orphans we take care of . No leader will see his shepherd being killed and be happy. “Later, I got anonymous calls from Fulani Herdsmen about what I said. What I said was that, if gunmen came around church to attack churches, you must defend yourself, but if they come to pray, don’t attack. But they quoted me out of context. I am not stupid, I live among the crowd and I am not senseless. Time for self defence has come. Whether you are a Muslim or Christian, someone can’t just come to your house and killed your children and you will keep quiet. “I said the Christians must not go after them, but if they come after us, then defend yourself. This is what they twisted to mean. I am hearing different versions of the story. I was in Abuja for three days why didn’t they come after me. But now that I am in Ekiti, they wanted to lump me up with a man they think was against them. It could have been easier to pick me up in Abuja, I don’t live here. “If this will make them to clarify what I meant, I can present the video of my preaching. A town in Aviele in Edo State , Muslims rushed into the church and chased away all church members. I have always been preaching that youths must not kill . It was even wrong for the police or security agency to be coming around me and be saying I preached that I said Christians should kill Muslims without any verifiable facts. Apostle Suleman insists he is a man of peace “The only thing I am seeing is that we must learn how to investigate. I am not happy because of the way Christian community have been reacting. They are even saying they will protests abroad in all Nigerian embassies. I will never be alive and see Christians destroying property of Muslims because there will be problem.

“If they had called me and say I should tone down what I said, I would have gone back to do that. I have never been invited, but if I am invited I will come but that will be at my own time. I was not stopped from preaching. “This Kaduna crisis confirmed that there was a deliberate attempt to frustrate Christians. The National Assembly must not fold their arms and see this happen. But I have no grudge against Buhari or DSS. They are only doing their job, but the DSS did it wrongly.” According to Vanguard, a director at the hotel where Apostle Suleman escaped arrest said the DSS met the receptionists that they had a message for the religious cleric from the presidency. The receptionists duly informed the security aides of Suleman who also told the apostle of the mission of the DSS. A few minutes later, Governor Ayodele Fayose came with his convoy and marched straight to the preacher’s room where he was already waiting with his bags packed and they left together.

See the 3 African countries Trump will no longer issue visas to (list)

These are the countries that wil

l no longer be granted US visa Barely a week after the inauguration of Donald Trump as the president of the United States, he is coming to terms with being in office and making moves to make the United States a better place. President of the United States, Donald Trump. Donald Trump, according to reports, is expected to approve some executive orders that include visa denial for citizens of Syria and six other middle eastern and African countries. This tweet by the American president is believed to give credence to report on visa application denial and subsequent security measures in the United States: Here is a list of the countries that may never be allowed to visit the United States under Donald Trump's reign as the 45th American leader: 1. Syria 2. Iraq 3. Iran 4. Libya 5. Somalia 6. Sudan 7. Yemen An undisclosed congressional aide and immigration experts revealed this and also backed it up by saying this move is in connection with the tweet. According to Reuters, Stephen Legomsky, the chief counsel at US citizenship and immigration services in the last administration, informed that Trump has the legal power to limit refugee admissions and the issuance of visas to specific countries if the administration determined it was in the public’s interest. The professor at Washington University School of Law in St Louis, said: "From a legal standpoint, it would be exactly within his legal rights. "But from a policy standpoint, it would be terrible idea because there is such an urgent humanitarian need right now for refugees.” The American president is expected to sign the first of the orders at the Department of Homeland Security, where immigration and border security-related issues are also being handled. There had been a widespread uproar during Trump's campaign when he proposed a temporary ban on Muslims migrating to the United States, this he believed, would protect the citizens from jihadist attacks. But rather than place a ban on those of a specific religion, Trump and his nominee for attorney general, Senator Jeff Sessions, have agreed to focus on restrictions instead, with special focus on countries whose migrants could pose a threat. Meanwhile, the American president has started fulfilling some of the promises he made prior to his election in November, 2016.

Real REASONS your brain gambles with your emotions

The following are just a few of the psychological limitation the human brain undergoes: 1. The brain loves shortcut game Most often when we plan to do some things, the first thought that comes to the brain is the easiest way to get it done. I mean the plain lazy way to do it fast! Using mental shortcut makes us get things done faster and achieve faster result but often most this mental shortcut called heuristics pushes us into making more mistakes than we ought to when we feel like solving a mechanical equal with its right formulae would be longer, so you decided to use a shorter formulae that might not give a full explanation to the answer you got, what you brain is using at the moment is called availability heuristic. You are fooled into believing that using the wrong formulae would still give you the right answer. 2. Conceal prejudice influence our thinking Our mind is easily susceptible to various unnecessary thoughts which prevent us from thinking in the right manner and all this lead to the making of errors, distortion. One great example of this is confirmation bias. Just imagine if you have a friend who doesn’t believe in marriage, she gives you various reasons that discredit what you have about marriage confirmation bias causes us to place a greater emphasis or even seek out things that confirm what we already believe, but to ignore or discount anything that opposes our already existing ideas. Imagine how this bias affects people daily. 3. The brain plays the mind game When something bad happens, it is only natural that we look for an underlying cause to blame. The problem is that we often place the blame on the wrong person, event, or object and frequently distort reality in order to protect our own self-esteem. Imagine I had a test some few days ago, the lecturer dictated about ten question that needed to be answered, I was so furious that I started blaming myself for not reading broadly, that’s is a normal thing for the brain to do. At the end of the day, I passed greatly in the test and I felt awesome that is called self-serving bias but what about if it is a classmate who failed a test, the first thing you think of is, "didn’t he read his book or was he just plain stupid? ” That’s called fundamental attribution error. 4. Your memory is not as great as you think While we often believe that our memory works as fast as possible lie video camera, preserving events exactly as they occurred, the reality is that our memory is much more fragile, inaccurate, and susceptible to influence than we would like to believe. For example, experts have found that it is surprisingly easy to induce false memories of events that did not really occur. In one study, researchers found watching a video of other people performing an action actually led participants to believe that they had performed the task themselves. Your memory might be good, but it is worth remembering that it is not perfect and certainly not always dependable. It is just like saying one’s memory is as great as you will remember everything you have ever read! It doesn’t work that way. 5. The brain plays trick on us Your brain is capable of remarkable things, from remembering a conversation you had with a dear friend to solving complex mathematical problems, or remembering the lyrics of a song someone out there was just humming into your ear few minutes ago, but as you’ve seen, it certainly isn’t perfect. So what can you do? There’s no way to avoid all of these potential problems, but being aware of some of the biases, perceptual shortcomings, and memory tricks. For instance, student falls into this category mostly. You have a test and you prepared so well only for you to get to the hall and you remember not as much as you needed and immediately you left the test hall you start remembering everything you ought to have remembered in the hall. That’s one of what shows that the brain isn’t as perfect as we sees it but of course it is perfect to some extent. Having known all this, it should be easier for us to learn to handle the difference in how our brain tackles some things.

- President Muhammadu Buhari has cleared Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir David Lawal and the acting chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, of any corrupt practices - Buhari reportedly wrote two letters to the Senate on Sunday. While one letter asked the lawmakers to set aside their call for the resignation of the SGF, the other urged the Senate to confirm Mr Magu as the EFCC boss. Ibrahim Magu and Babachir Lawal

President Muhammadu Buhari has cleared Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir David Lawal and the acting chairman of the EFCC, Ibrahim Magu, of any corrupt practices despite indictment by state agents. While the SGF was indicted by the Senate’s ad-hoc committee on mounting humanitarian crisis in north-east in expending funds meant for alleviating sufferings of IDPs, Mr Magu was indicted by the DSS. According to a report by Daily Sun, President wrote two letters to the Senate on Sunday. While one asked the lawmakers to set aside their call for the resignation of the SGF, the other urged the Senate to confirm Mr Magu as the EFCC boss. “I can confirm that to you,” a top source who aware of the letter by Buhari urging the Senate to confirm Magu was quoted by the newspaper. On the SGF’s clearance, the source simply quipped: “I don’t know about that one.” Another source quoted by Vanguard newspaper said; “yes, Iam aware that the President has written to the Senate asking that Ibrahim Magu’s case should be reconsidered and he also wrote on the SGF, Babachir Lawal. The letter may be read tomorrow.” It was also reported that during Saraki’s meeting with president Buhari on December 29, 2016, at the Presidential Villa, Magu’s rejection came up for discussion but Saraki did not make any commitment to Buhari, to ensure that Magu’s name scales through in the chamber. It was gathered that the Senate President did not object to assist Magu during the confirmation hearing. But the Presidency has distances self from claims on Magu’s confirmation letter. Speaking with Vanguard, the special assistant to the President on National Assembly matters (Senate), Mr Ita Enang, said Buhari has not written a fresh letter to the Senate insisting on confirming the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC), Mr Ibrahim Magu. Enang said he was not aware of such letter. “You are about the third person calling me on this matter. “I am not aware of that discussion and I don’t want to speak on the matter because I don’t have details,’’ he said. Meanwhile, Justice Mojisola Olatoregun Ishola of the Federal High Court, Lagos will on February 13 hear a suit against Magu for still parading himself as Chairman. The suit was instituted by a lawyer and activist, Mr. Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa. The lawyer is praying the court to restrain Magu from parading himself as such. Adegboruwa is also asking the Senate not to entertain any further request for Magu’s confirmation. Adegboruwa said since the Senate had rejected Magu, he could not thereafter be illegally functioning in acting capacity.
