F.G Still Dialoguing With Niger Delta — Kachikwu

Nigeria’s Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, has said that it is not true that the Federal Government has abandoned the people of the Niger Delta region. The Minister made the clarification on Saturday in an interview at the end of the 2016 Convocation Ceremony of the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI), Effurun, in Delta state.

Hurricane Matthew killed more than 800 people and left tens of thousands homeless in its rampage through Haiti.

Matthew, potentially the first major hurricane to hit the United States head on in more than a decade, triggered mass evacuations along the coast from Florida through Georgia and into South Carolina and North Carolina. Southern Florida escaped the brunt of the storm overnight, but U.S. President Barack Obama urged people not to be complacent and to heed local officials' instructions in the face of a storm that could be the most severe to strike northeast Florida in more than 10

Peter Obi frowns at titles in churches

Image
The former Governor of Anambra, Peter Obi, has frowned at the indiscriminate award of titles on worshipers by some churches. Mr. Obi said this during the pastoral visit of the Catholic Bishop of Awka Diocese, Paulinus Ezeokafor, to the Basilica of the Most Holy Trinity in Onitsha on Sunday. The former governor, who was part of the visiting team, noted that the award of titles on worshippers was at variance with the essence of fellowship. According to him, it leads people to ungodliness, as churches must retain their pious orientation. Mr. Obi said that churches should not get consumed by the ways of the world, forgetting her primary essence. “Churches should aid our spiritual growth, but today, our people delight in creating one title or the other for reasons other than holiness, which appears not to be in sync with the essence of the church.

Over the last decade, hundreds of thousands of people around the world have worked together to find the right translations for words and phrases in the Facebook interface. “Because the idea of a “Like” in English may mean something different in Arabic or Japanese. “This matters because for people to share what matters to them and see what matters to the people they care about, they need services available in a language they know.“Some of the
