THE TRUTH BEHIND THE ROMOUR: is senator George Akume Dead?

By Richard Agwa

Over the past few days, I have received several calls from friends and political associates to the fact that His Excellency, Distinguished Senator George Akume has died in India. For the records, Senator Akume has not visited India for over a long time now and has never sought medical attention in India in his entire over 60 years of existence on earth.

This story remains a fallacy and a figment of the imagination of the rumour mongering machine of the opposition. The Distinguished is hail and hearty and is not in any form, ill.
While I am not the spokesman of the Distinguished Senator, he is my leader and I owe my friends a duty to respond to their genuine concerns about this great Nigerian and son of Benue.
Life of any individual is in the hands of God and he alone, can take it. Therefore, those who would have wished the Senator dead are only wasting their time. If God wills, the Senator will live to attend the burial of some of them.
Blessed day everyone and merry Christmas in advance.

Daily Devotional: Burdens Give Us Wings

An old legend relates that long ago God had a great many burdens which He wished to have carried from one place to another on earth, so He asked the animals to lend a hand. But all of them began to make excuses for not helping: the elephant was too dignified; the lion, too proud; and so on. Finally the birds came to God and said, “If you will tie the burdens into small bundles, we’ll be glad to carry them for you. We are small but we would like to help.”

So God fastened upon the back of each one a small bundle, and they all set out walking across the plain to their destination. They sang as they went, and did not seem to feel the weight of their burdens at all. Every day the burdens seemed lighter and lighter, until the loads seems to be lifting the birds, instead of the birds carrying the burdens.
When they arrived at their destination, they discovered that when they removed their loads, there were wings in their place, wings which enabled them to fly to the sky and the tree tops. They had learned how to carry their burdens, and their loads had become wings to carry them nearer to God.

Burdens we carry for others may become wings of the spirit, to lift us into happiness such as we have never known.

Meditation: Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. – Galatians 6:2

You will succeed in Jesus Name!

Photos of Oyelowo with stab wounds a few hours before he was allegedly stabbed to death by his wife

Yesterday, you read a story about a man who was allegedly stabbed to death by his wife at their home after a domestic dispute (read here). The lady's family claimed that she was found with a dislocated shoulder and swollen head following the fight between the couple. But friends of the late Oyelowo Oyediran say this is a lie, that the lady sustained no injury and was the primary aggressor.

This is Oyelowo, just a few hours before he was killed. He'd been stabbed in the shoulder a few hours before the second stab in the neck that led to his death. He was taken to the hospital for treatment after this stabbing but when the couple returned home another quarrel started which led to his death.

This pic was taken in the dead of the night after he was stabbed the first time and his landlord had interfered and settled the quarrel only for him to be attacked again a few hours later... and this time it was fatal. His wife, a lawyer, is currently being held by police over his death.

The woman allegedly stabbed Oyelowo as he was sleeping after he returned home from hospital. Graphic photos below...
