Hephzibah: And
the man is a fine man ooo. Okay, good warning, I hope they listen...
2. US oil
prices sink nearly 8% on Greece, China worries
Hephzibah:
Lord, these oil prices...Baba, what's the status of the agricultural reforms
that were ongoing at the time GEJ handed over? Remember the reforms the whole
world was talking about? The idea was/is to diversify the economy to cushion
the effects of falling oil prices...I hope and pray that you'll sustain the
tempo? I hope you understand the importance of appointing competent
people...Hmmmm
3. Forum
applauds Buhari’s choice for acting INEC chairman
Hephzibah: I
feel the "Women Empowerment" cause is hurt when women are seen to
have been appointed just to "balance the equation" and not because
they are competent. I suspect Madam Zakari is competent but all I'm hearing is
"gender inclusiveness"...This gender inclusiveness thing is complex;
I've seen manipulative women use it to corner positions that they have no
business vying for. I also understand the need for affirmative action...I pray
Madam Zakari will deliver and give us more reasons to push for affirmative
action towards gender inclusiveness.
Meanwhile, how
come all the pictures of Baba I see have him frowning? Journalists, why are you
people like this na? Tell him to smile before taking pictures na...Tenkiu
4. FIFA bans
head of World Cup committee for seven years
Hephzibah: The
Guardian, why did you omit(?) "Former" in the headline na...These
newspeople sef... What does "breaches of confidentiality" mean? I
hope FIFA is not using big grammar to punish a whistleblower ooo. Otherwise,
the dude should have respected whatever confidentiality agreement he signed
with FIFA...
5. Two pilots
killed in Russian military jet crash
Hephzibah: Why
is Russia still using Soviet era military planes na? I pray that the Lord
comforts the loved ones the pilots left behind...
6. World’s oldest
person celebrates 116th birthday in NY
Hephzibah:
Happy birthday, Mama Susannah but I'm sure there's an older person in Ikere
Ekiti that can't tell when exactly he/she was born...
7. ‘Greater
investment in workforce crucial to improved productivity’
Hephzibah:
Employers, I hope you're listening? Employees, I think you should also take
some initiative in investing in courses/seminars etc that boost YOUR
productivity...
The placard one
of the guys is holding in the picture ehn... "Increase workers' pay, not
increased prayers"...Choi...Employers, I hope you're listening...kikikiki
8. A gene for
better rice
Hephzibah: Tell
me something! I hope it doesn't have funny side-effects ooo and I hope it will
help bring down the cost of rice (and hopefully tomatoes too) somehow. Na dat
wan concern me pass ooo...
9. 3,634
tourists visit Point-of-No-Return Island in 6 months — Official
Hephzibah: If
people visit the "Point-of-No-Return" island and return, why is it
still called the "Point-of-No-Return"? Can the returnees ask for
their money back? Lol. The place is in Badagry, if you're looking for somewhere
to visit...
10. Bomb Blast:
JUTH resident doctors suspend strike
Hephzibah: May
God bless the JUTH resident doctors. It's heartwarming to hear about people
keeping their vows (Doctors swear an oath to put saving lives above pecuniary
interests). I pray for the speedy recovery of the victims. I pray that the
government quickly get their acts together and defeat these terrorists. God
will help us.
11. Man in
court for allegedly beating up and removing a woman’s teeth
Hephzibah:
What's the matter with all these violent people na? He is alleged to have dragged the woman on the floor, beat her up
and given her a fist blow which pulled out three out of her teeth. The victim
was badly injured. Now, he says he's not guilty...I guess we'll hear that it's
the woman that dragged herself on the ground, beat herself up and gave herself
a fist blow that pulled her three teeth out...I wonder what the onlookers were
doing as this woman was being brutalised...This one wasn't even a case of not
interfering because it's "husband and wife" matter...It was a case of
people arguing...Anyway, the matter is in court now...The Magistrate, granted
the accused a bail of N50,000, with one surety in like sum...The bail is too
small, in my opinion but then...
12. 23-year-old
housekeeper bolts with employer’s N4.6m jewellery
Hephzibah: I
personally cannot keep N4.6m "jewellery" (correct spelling is Jewelry
please @TheGuardian) in my house uninsured. If you're keeping stuff like that,
please get insurance...
Madam
Housekeeper, your story is somehow...How come you and the "jewellery"
disappeared at the same time? Anyway, the matter is in court. The Magistrate
granted the accused bail in the sum of N2.5 million with two sureties in like
sum.
I'm just
wondering why the bail conditions for the people that allegedly stole "jewellery"
are more stringent than the conditions for a person that allegedly inflicted
bodily harm on another human being...Incidentally, it is the same magistrate
that is handling both cases and she is a woman...Hmmm...
It's another
beautiful day and a golden opportunity to contribute your own quota. Please
make the day count and don't forget to pray for the peace and prosperity of
your country.
Enjoy the day.
