THE RISE AND FALL OF BUKOLA SARAKI
Saraki left the PDP for personal reasons......not because he wanted CHANGE. This is evident in his behaviour since APC became victorious. APC trusted Saraki, jilted Belgore just to please Saraki. APC asked both Belgore and Lai Mohammed to relinquish the state leadership to Saraki. While Lai choicelessly agreed, Belgore left APC because 'I can never be in the same party with Saraki talkless of him leading me'.....Raji Fashola spoke and appealed to his bosom friend Belgore not to leave APC but the latter sought Fashola's understanding on the fact that Saraki is not a human being and that APC will regret having Saraki in its fold. APC openly celebrated Saraki. Saraki nominated every single political appointments in Kwara......he took over the structure of the APC in Kwara. APC narrowly won Kwara with just over 100k votes above the PDP. Race for Senate Leadership began. This slot would have naturally gone to the SE had Ngige or other experienced APC senatorial candidate won but APC NASS conflict's foundation was laid by the rejection of the party in the SE! Therefore, 3 major lucky contenders were jostling for the Senate President position......Lawan from NE, Saraki and Akume from NS all wanted to fill the vacuum created by the SE. Buhari and APC preferred Lawan from the NE instead of Tinubu's friend Akume and Atiku's choice Saraki. Tinubu being a smart man quickly asked his friend Akume to step down for the Party's and President's choice Lawan. Akume, another reasonable politician agreed! Tinubu is not just a driver, he also know when to accelerate and when to march the brake!!!!!!! Atiku and Saraki kept on accelerating even when it was obvious that the duo have approached the zebra crossing!!!! A warrior that knows how to fight that does not know how to run when necessary will eventually perish in the battlefield! Saraki and his pushers became arrogant and resolute to disgrace the APC and the President .... All appeals by leaders of their party did not hold water. Saraki said he wanted due process......th erefore, the party organized a primary election to please him......Saraki lost the election and instead of staying within his team and agree with the APC Senators decision, he betrayed the APC and teamed up with the PDP to steal the hard earned victory of the APC through the back door. He wanted SP even if heavens will fall. He eventually stole it while 95% of his colleagues were away, he joined the PDP to ridicule CHANGE. He did not stop there, he made the PDP DSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha! What wickedness??? What a deadly traitor????? The party was battling with the humble pie and sought further reconciliation by asking Saraki to give other leadership positions left to its preferred choices, at least to calm nerves and save the party from national disgrace...but Saraki once again injured the party and announced his own preferred choices behaving like 'IGE ADUBI' who cares less whether or not his mother or father died on the day of his birth! The intention of Saraki became very clear to APC......he wants to APC to fail, disgraced and destroyed......he has gone back to his former husband...PDP. But the concern of Buhari is different from the APC's.......Buhari wants to eradicate corruption but how can Kwara Corruption King lead from the senate??? Number one priority of Buhari administration has been ambushed by thieves from the NASS.....Buhari, a soldier and a war tested veteran will not give up the fight to eradicate corruption in Nigeria. His preference for Lawan has nothing to do with politics but with policies! Saraki obviously has constituted himself to be a clog in the wheels of CHANGE. He has become the arrow head of Business as Usual in a government of CHANGE! Therefore his book of remembrance was opened. His judgement became expedient.....Since he wanted to be one of leaders in the government of Change, he must be thoroughly searched. Buhari the first leader has been searched....... Osinbajo the second leader has been searched.....so why will Saraki the 'third' leader avoid search?????? You cannot eat your cake and have it!!!!! For those who said why saraki? Keep your mouth shut. Saraki wants to be number three and therefore, his cupboards must be opened, we must know his condition and fitness......if he passed this current test, then CHANGE will admit him but if he fails......CHANGE will purge him........ This is not a joke! CHANGE has come to Nigeria and he who must come to equity must come with clean hands! And that is what we mean by Common Sense Revolution!

AMAZING EGG : ALLAH Appears On Egg Shell
A Muslim couple were amazed to find a miracle
egg with the word Allah written on
its shell, Leicester, Leicestershire, UK.
Anisa Jussab, 36, was going to bake a cake for
her husband Farid, 37, when she suddenly
noticed the unusual marks on one of the eggs
she bought in a local supermarket. The surprised
woman took a closer look at the shell and saw
the phrase “None to be worshipped except Allah”
written in Arabic script.
She said: “We have been blessed by a miracle. It’s
not something anyone has carved on the egg.
These things appear and I’ve heard about this sort
of thing in the roots of trees and in the sky. It is a
sign and I think it’s a message to all Muslims to
forgive and to have a clean heart. It is a miracle
and a blessing.”
Farid added to the story: “When she took the egg
out she felt the marks with her hand and then
looked and saw our God’s name on it, as well as
other writing all the way around. I was sleeping and
she came running upstairs to wake me.
The sun was shining and I could see it perfectly. All
the hairs on my arms stood up. We were both so
shocked and surprised. I immediately ran to the
imam in the Masjid Ul Imam Al Bukhari mosque
who advised me to make a hole and get the egg
out and then eat the egg with my wife.
Then I shall put the shell in a glass container where
anyone can come and see it. I am going to keep
the egg forever now. I’m not the sort of man who
prays five times a day so this is amazing.”
This is not the first time the word Allah appears
on various objects. It was spotted on fish, egg
plants, cacti, melons and even on human hands
and ears. However, the scholars believe that all
these inscriptions are simply flukes. Arabic
letters, unlike Latin characters, are very simple
and graceful in form, meaning with a little bit of
imagination one can find them naturally occurring
everywhere.

WHEN THE CHURCH IS NO MORE CONDUCIVE FOR WORSHIP
When we can no longer differentiate a church
from a social gathering,
And all what we do in church is to just have fun
When we can’t differentiate a choir from an harlot
And an usher is not different from a waiter
When the church is no more conducive
Where shall we go?
When worship session in a church is just like a
disco night
and we cant differentiate a pastor from a
comedian
When salvation message is no longer the order of
the day
but prosperity and entertainment message is now
the core course
When the church is no more conducive
Where shall we go?
When prayer warrior now have to go to tongue-
speaking school for
utterances
And deliverance and healing session is now like
MTH 201 to be taught
and learned
When pastor have to pause for members to clap
and shout during
sermon in enthusiasm
And all what we now gain from preaching is now
new vocabulary and
word usage
When the church is no more conducive
Where shall we go?
When the church of God is now an exhibition
ground for the latest
designer
And those new convert can no longer come to
church for the fear of
being inferior
When the tithe and offering in church have to
suffer for anniversary
attire
And the little ones from the faithful member have
to suffer for
pastor’s birthday
When the church is no more conducive
Where shall we go?
Where shall we go is the question right; But never
a rhetoric one
Where we can go is simply the feet of the old
rugged cross
And plead for the revival of the church of our
father
Because when Jesus shall appear to examine his
church
The question of “where to go” will never be an
excuse
Even the elect will not be excluded. Watch &
pray!!

HOW THE CHAMPIONS OF ENGLAND FELL AT THE BRIDGE
Falcao got off the mark for the hosts but the
Premier League champions suffered a rare
defeat at Stamford Bridge, with the prospect of
back-to-back titles already looking bleak.
Jose Mourinho suffered only his second home
defeat in the Premier League as Chelsea
manager as Crystal Palace shocked the
champions with a 2-1 win at Stamford Bridge.
Bakary Sako put Palace in front, finishing off a
Yannick Bolasie cross at the second time of
asking after a block by Cesar Azpilicueta.
Chelsea looked to have snatched a point when
second half substitute Falcao headed in a Pedro
delivery.
But the Blues were level for less than two
minutes as Ward headed in after more link-up
play from Bolasie and Sako.
Aside from a Gary Cahill header, cleared off the
line by Sako shortly before his opener, Chelsea
struggled to break down the Palace defence,
although Alex McCarthy had to be at his best to
keep out Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas in the
latter stages of the first half.
After Falcao restored parity, Palace refused to
settle for a draw and Ward's winner maintained
Chelsea's unconvincing start to the defence of
their Premier League crown.
Cahill returned to the Chelsea starting XI in
place of the suspended John Terry, while Crystal
Palace brought Connor Wickham in for Glenn
Murray up front, and the centre-back came
under pressure early on as the visitors started
brightly.
Chelsea eventually settled and Pedro came
close to marking his home debut with a goal
when he fired just wide with a curling effort
after switching onto his left foot.
Kurt Zouma's half-hearted appeal for a penalty
following a tussle with Wickham went
unrewarded, before Sako drew a diving save
from goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois at the other
end.
Palace continued to enjoy the better chances -
Yohan Cabaye missing a glorious opportunity to
break the deadlock just short of the hour mark.
When the ball found Cabaye at the edge of the
box, the France international had the whole goal
to aim at but placed his effort too close to a
grateful Courtois.
A superb double save from McCarthy, denying
both Costa and Fabregas, kept Palace on level
terms just before the break, and Damien Delaney
made an excellent sliding tackle in the box to
thwart Costa early in the second period.
Yet there was panic in the Chelsea penalty area
when a cross from the right prompted a
desperate scramble to clear the danger, before
Wickham failed to get enough purchase on a
Sako delivery.
As Palace continued to threaten, Sako went for
goal in the 55th minute - Courtois getting down
well to his right to keep out a 20-yard strike.
Sako then had to clear a Cahill header from a
corner off the line but was on the scoresheet
himself little more than a minute later, showing
great composure in the box to lift the ball over
Courtois after his initial effort had been blocked
by Cesar Azpilicueta.
Yannick Bolasie curled over as Palace
threatened to double their advantage 15 minutes
from time, before Falcao lost his marker to head
in from a Pedro cross and seemingly save
Chelsea's blushes.
However, a Bolasie cross from the left moments
later found Sako in acres of space, and the Mali
international cut the ball back for Ward to head
home.
It was only Mourinho's second defeat in the
Premier League at Stamford Bridge in his 100th
home game in charge of the club.

THE MOBILE ENCYCLOPEDIA
Mobile phones have become part of us whether we
like it or not. In fact we become incomplete without
it. The use of mobile phones has cut across all
generation both young and old. Its even interesting to
find out that as little as a 5-year old kid now owns a
phone.
As the use of phones come with advantages so also
it has its numerous demerits most especially to the
young generation. The young generation are in
possession of the largest chunk of the most
sophisticated mobile gadgets. The use of these
mobile encyclopeadia can be put to more resourceful
use than just chatting with friends,watching or
streaming videos and some other activities that does
not contribute to the personal development of the
individual.
I believe these gadgets can be put to better and more
resourceful use as they are equipped with
applications,files and components that can help us in
variour ways either as
students,parents,businessmen,teachers,artisans etc.
The phone can be used to access vital and useful
information through the net.
The benefit of this to students is enormous.

TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE STUDYING
1. Always read to improve yourself
not for the sake of passing
examinations alone.
Always believe you know nothing even when you know
you have an idea on the topic matter. You always get
clearer understanding each time you revisit an
already known fact with the mind of developing your
cognitive ability. This system will also discourage the
fire brigade approach in most students who always
engage in serious studies when examination is at the
corner. The fire brigade style will do no benefit
because whatever is read has no intrinsic value as it
can easily be forgotten in a short period.
2. Make a wise choice in what improves your level of
concentration before embarking on study journey.
In doing this firstly try to understand nature as
regards what activates and improves your
concentration. Some students study style might be
allergic to a quiet environment. Their level of
concentration may be affected by the serene
environment which might drift their mind away or
even sleep off. For instance,I find it difficult studying
in a very quiet environment I either my mind picks
some form of imagination which derails my
concentration or I doze off totally. But after much
observance on my nature I later discovered I do
better in a not too quiet condition.
3. Find the best or perfect condition.
Sometimes I have a transistor radio by my side to
retain and boost my level of concentration and it has
worked effectively well for me. Take note this is my
own nature it might work for you or might not. You
need to study yourself to know what suits your
nature. You might be able to study very well in a very
quiet condition,or while lying on your bed,or far away
from your home,or while snacking..
So, get the best or perfect condition that suits your
study style!
AVOID STRESSFUL STUDIES
Always examine your reading or study ability. Do
not overload yourself in the name of covering
grounds. Measure the lenght of studies your abiliy
can contain to avoid fruitless efforts.
Study the number of pages or even lines you
know you can comprehend or assimilate and
reproduce.
IT IS NOT HOW FAR BUT HOW WELL.
It is not the number of pages or texts of your
resource material that you are able to cover that
matter but the ones you are able to
recall,comprehend,assimilate and reproduce
without much stress. Hence,know your limit and
avoid over stressing yourself.
Read to understand do not read just for the sake
of reading. Always repeat or revisit lines or
sentences you dont understand until you are able
to digest the message.
If your ability can only take few lines to
understand,STOP THERE and take a moment out
to digest what you have read.
From experience, I embark my study journey
base on my current physical,emotional and
psychological condition.
Sometimes,I have the gas and energy to study for
donkey hours and I will still be able to fathom all I
have read. This is not far from the fact that I was
sound physically,emotionally,psychologically and
mentally.
Also,sometimes I might have to study perhaps a
page,few pages or even few lines if that is what
my system and condition can manage or
accomodate. This will enable you to achieve your
desired objective each time you pick up your
resource material.
