Topic: The Foolishness of God [Sunday 7, August 2016] Memorise:  Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. –  1 Corinthians 1:25 Read:  1 Corinthians 1:18-25  (KJV) 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the pow...

Nigeria, 2016 Olympics and other stories by Reuben Abati

“I hear we are no longer Nigeria, but the United States of Nigeria” “You didn’t hear anything. Stop being hypocritical, my friend.” “But the incumbent Minister of Sports is on record as having said something like that” “I know. That dumb Minister who wears the red cap that looks like something taken and approved from a shrine?” “Ye, that one, Solomon Dalung. The same one who is mismanaging Nigeria’s trip to the Rio Olympics.” “IF he said that, it must have been a case of a slip of the tongue. There are more important issues we should worry about, my friend. But really, what is wrong with Nigeria being a United States of Nigeria? We should actually be a United States, because if there is anything we need in this country it is unity. I take it that the Minister was speaking loud. A case of malapropism, no more no less…” “What is that? Speak like a normal human being, this man, I have always told you. Ma-la-pro-pri-sm.” “A slip of the tongue, that is what it means, but in this case a t...

Nigerians blast FG for dollar subsidy to Hajj pilgrims

Image
Many Nigerians have condemned the Federal Government for selling forex exchange to Hajj pilgrims at a subsidised rate of N197 to the dollar. The Central Bank of Nigeria had released a circular stating that forex would be made available to the pilgrims at the rate. However, several criticisms have trailed the announcement. Nigerians said it was not reasonable for the Federal Government to subsidise the dollar for pilgrims when manufacturers, students and businesses were getting it at an official rate of N310 and for as high as N400 at the black market. The Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari, Garba Shehu, on Friday defended the Federal Government’s action on his social media pages. He said the N197 exchange rate was approved by the President around May and that Christian pilgrims also benefited from a similar gesture in December 2015. He said, “The exchange rate of N197 to a dollar was approved by the President about three months ago, much earlier than when the new f...
