That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?” (‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:25-27‬, NLT‬‬). Do Not Worry: God Will Supply Your Needs God is a way-maker.  He is our great provider.  When we do not have a way to pay a bill or to provide for ourselves, God is always a step ahead of us creating a way.  In my twenty-something years of living, I have gone through enough to know that God will create something from nothing in order to establish and manifest His glory in our lives. I was homeless a few years ago.  I was unsure of how I would take care of my family because I was  unemployed  with zero dollars to my name.  There were plenty of tim

The history of  Nigeria  can be traced to prehistoric settlers living the area as early as 11,000 BC. Numerous ancient African civilizations settled in the region that is today Nigeria. The greatest and most notable Empire ruling at the arrival of the British was The  Benin Empire  who's sovereign emperor was called the Oba of Benin. Other tribes included the settlers in Eastern Nigeria called the  Nri Kingdom . Islam reached Nigeria through the  Hausa States  during the 11th century. The  Songhai Empire  also occupied part of the region.  Lagos  was captured by  British  forces in 1851 and formally annexed in 1861. Nigeria became a British protectorate in 1901. Colonization lasted until 1960, when an independence movement succeeded in gaining Nigeria its independence. Nigeria first became a  republic  in 1963, but succumbed to military rule in 1966 after a bloody coup d'état. A separatist movement later formed the  Republic of Biafra  in 1967, leading to the three-year  N

The Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption, Prof. Itse Sagay (SAN), says the Senate lacks the power to summon him. He, therefore, lambasted the lawmakers for attempting to flex constitutional muscles which he said they did not possess. The Senate had on Wednesday proposed to invite Sagay for saying that senators were irresponsible and childish during an interview with  The PUNCH. However, the senior advocate maintained that he was not misquoted in  The PUNCH  report and therefore stood by his claim. He said he had not received any letter from the upper legislative chamber. The law professor said the senators were ignorant of Section 88 of the 1999 Constitution. He said, “I am waiting for the Senate summons. In any case, they don’t have the remotest of powers or authority to summon me because their power to summon people is very limited if you look at Section 88 and Section 89 of the constitution. “I don’t fall under the category of peo

*Pinnick Former Chairman of the Nigeria Football Association, NFA, Alhaji Ibrahim Galadima has said that he is more worried by the division the recent CAF election has brought into the country’s football than the outcome of the process.  Speaking on telephone to Sports Vanguard from his base in Kano, the Executive Chairman of the Kano State Sports Council said that the campaigns leading to the CAF election generated so much bitterness and brought division among football stakeholders in the country which he described as not too healthy for the football. “`If Amaju’s victory in the CAF election and his tenure will bring unity in our football, it will be a good thing. I am worried about the division the campaign for the CAF election brought among football stakeholders. Now that the elections are over, I hope they will come together to move the game forward, not only in Nigeria but in Africa as a whole. The world of change has caught up with (Issa) Hayatou, which was long overdue anyw

AS a business owner, you are required to keep accurate financial records of all activities for your company. It may not be fun but keeping financial records is a legal requirement when you are running a business, whether you are a sole trader, partnership or large corporation. As a business, you must make sure you are tax compliant, which also means keeping record of every transaction you make.  In addition to keeping you out of trouble with the tax man, these records will help you analyse the profitability of your business and maintain a smooth relationship with your customers and suppliers. Keeping records can be tedious especially in a fast-paced environment but failing to do so can cost a business dearly. Tor Amarto runs a barbing salon and beer parlour in Makurdi.

Buhari The Federal Government, yesterday,  said it would not disclose to Nigerians the medical expenditure of President Muhammadu Buhari in London, saying the information was too sensitive. It also set up a committee to interface with the National Assembly to mend the seemingly frosty relationship between the executive and the legislature. Also, yesterday, Federal Executive Council, FEC, approved the establishment of the West African Tax Administration Forum and okayed the $500 million Eurobond and also N403 million to procure water supplying vehicles for the Federal Fire Service.

Most people have two accounts, one savings, and the other, current. Have you ever considered opening more accounts to help you organise your money better? If not, then you should, according to http://funcheaporfree.com. You don’t have to have lots of money to do it. Family emergency savings:  As a rule, 20 per cent of your income should automatically go into savings each month, and this is the ultimate account for your savings. As a rule, this account is for absolute, dire “we are going to lose our house next week if we don’t do something” emergencies. Picture it as the fireproof apocalyptic vault hiding behind concrete walls in your basement, or the piggy bank you have to shatter to open. You should never touch this account unless it is your absolute last resort! And it should never be for anything that can be resolved in other ways, including paying off debt. Hopefully, you will never have to touch this account…but good thing you have it if you ever do. Savings money should be

Following the continued demolitions of some waterfront communities in Lagos State, including Otodo Gbame settlement in Elegushi area of Lekki, some non-governmental organisations are divided on the actions of the state government.

The Executive Director, Safe Habitat, Ade Williams, said the rate at which people from neighbouring countries and criminals fleeing from other parts of the country were creating illegal settlements in some riverside communities in the state had become alarming.

Kondo Game, an intriguing comedy movie, featuring Nollywood A-listers, such as  Jide Kosoko, Mercy Johnson, Uche Jombo  Rodriguez,  Francis Odega,  Mercy Aigbe, Cossy Ojiakor and Funny Bone, is set to take cinema lovers by storm. The comic adventure movie depicts life in the police barracks, with the mischief of two notorious police officers, Austin and Vincent, putting viewers on an unending laughter swing.  Played by Francis Odega and Funnybone, the two police officers would later be faced with controversial tasks. With a sloppy boss, Jide Kosoko to contend with, Austin and Vincent are locked in between crime busting and bursting a romantic fling with a voluptuous mistress, played by Cossy Ojiakor, who runs a beer parlour in the neighbourhood. Cossy’s exploit heightens the rib-cracking comic adventure. Maryam Harris, the producer of the movie, said the need to create a film at par with Hollywood necessitated the huge investment and quality cast put into the production.

Cossy orjiakor For sometime now, Nollywood’s acclaimed ‘Q ueen of Boobs’, Cossy Orjiakor has been on fire, venting her anger on her Instagram handle on how some actresses had betrayed her trust in the past. In many of her mysterious epistles, Cossy painted a picture of how she introduced some actresses to rich clients, whom she tagged ‘Mr?” and how they ended up being well off, without according her  the credit she deserves. In a chat with Potpourri, the actress refused to mention names but affirmed that all the gossips she had been sharing on her Intagram handle were true life stories, concerning her and some actresses, and promised that a book would soon be released to confirm the authenticity of the stories. “I am only after people who hurt my reputation. They have talked bad about me already. They believe I am bad, so, I am showing them how bad I can be. Other people are involved, in fact, plenty. I have revealed a bit but the rest they can read in my book,” she quipped. Cossy

As a superstar music maker, MAVINS’ don, Don Jazzy, is a     man many women will go for in a big way. In fact many have professed love for the music guru but it seems none has been as desperate as a Netherlands-based Nigerian  woman who made a video of herself, crying and begging the music don to love and marry her. Her  video, which has since gone viral, is a pitiable sight of a woman desperately and hopelessly in love, begging and crying, telling the whole world of her undying love. Don Jazzy “I swear to God I’m in love with Don Jazzy. Please Don Jazzy love me. I am still single and you are still single, this is not funny. This is not a joke. I am in love with Don Jazzy (sobbing)” she said in tears, sobbing and wiping off the tears. But to many of Don Jazzy’s fans the girl is nothing but a big joke. Some had to mock her accent and her looks, saying she’s probably deranged. “Don Jasie? So, she no even fit pronounce the name of who she dey in love with? Issorite,”  says a fan

BANDERAS Spanish film star Antonio Banderas says he has recovered from a heart attack that he had in January. The 56-year-old Banderas tells Spanish media that “I suffered a heart attack on Jan. 26, but it wasn’t serious and hasn’t caused any damage.” Antonio Banderas Banderas says he underwent a procedure to introduce three stents in his arteries, adding that “it hasn’t been as dramatic as some have written.” Banderas’ visit to a Swiss clinic had led to speculation about the health of the star known for roles in such films as “The Mask of Zorro,” ”Desperado,” ”Philadelphia” and the animated “Puss in Boots.” He was also played the leading role in the film “The Original Sin”. Banderas spoke Saturday at a film festival in his hometown of Malaga in southern Spain, where he received a lifetime achievement award for his career as an actor, director and producer.

Nollywood actress cum producer, Omoni Oboli  got what she did not bargain for, last Friday night, when the premiere of her much-talked about movie, “Okafor’s Law” was stopped following a court injunction.                       Omoni Oboli  Recall that sometime in September, last year, the actress was accused of copyright infringement by a Canadian-based Nigerian script writer, Jude Idada. But  Omoni  swept  the accusation under the carpet as she went ahead to complete the movie and set dates for its movie  premiere and cinema release. This infuriated  the representatives of Jude Idada, who took  the matter to court for copyright infringement and trademark violation. Unfortunately, for Omoni, while the guests were already present for the premiere, it was announced  that an injunction had been gotten to prevent the premiere of “Okafor’s Law” and also its release on March 31 with the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Defendants in the case, being Omoni Oboli, Dioni Visions and  Filmone Distributi
