1. FG: Excess Crude Account Intact
Hephzibah: Apparently, it's $1.7bn from NLNG that was SHARED. Is that the best use of the money?
Why did the new Accountant-General make the 'costly' mistake of claiming that the money would come from the ECA? Let me not say more...

2. Buhari Advised to Increase Debt, Appoint ‘Reform Czar’ by Transition C’ttee
Hephzibah: There is no justification for increasing debt. If we are earning $1.7 billion tax from NLNG and a yet-to-be-accounted-for amount from agriculture, we shouldn't be eating our future.
Meanwhile what is "Reform Czar"?

3. The Battles Within APC
Hephzibah: Yawn, letter from a #Change agent who is coming to grips that only Jesus Christ is the Messiah...Please vex for your party leadership and stop taking out your frustration on those not fooled by the packaging they called #Change joor.

4. Calling on Kogi Election Petition Tribunal
Hephzibah: We all know whose senatorial position you're talking about but let's all keep dancing around the issue...

5. FG orders IG to hand over Saraki money laundering case file
Hephzibah: Please why is the office of the Attorney General interfering with the court case the office of the IG was about to start. Let the matter get to court and let the court decide if the Senate President truly has a case to answer. I thought the fight against corruption was this government's theme song?

6. Get ready to sell your private jets, Oshiomhole tell(s) owners
Hephzibah: Vanguard, it should be "TELLS", not "TELL" please. Governor Oshiomhole, if they don't, what's going to happen? I hope the so-called probe will also look into the source of wealth of #Change politicians too. Otherwise, it'll be a #WitchHunt.
I hope the NLC will head the governor's advice and also focus on the pay package of governors along with other politicians. #JustSaying

7. Ambode orders enforcement of law prohibiting street trading, begging
Hephzibah: Okay ooo. I hope there is a safety net for traders and beggars. Otherwise, we might be creating a new problem in the quest to solve a problem. May God help us.

8. Oliseh to take-over Super Eagles next week — NFF
Hephzibah: Gist has it that he has already been confirmed. Latest news says they're still working out details..Anyhow, congrats, Sunday Oliseh; some are actually rooting for you. Me, I'm watching food prices...Lol.

9. #GejWhileYouWereAway: Nigerians update Jonathan on Buhari, Tinubu, NASS, others
Hephzibah: I feel your pain, #GEJites. However, the earliest you can do anything about it is 2019. Like I said before, my focus now is food prices. Meanwhile, welcome back GEJ. How was your break?
Funny one from @Nigeriaschools - #GEJWhileYouWereAway, 1) we now understand that fuel scarcity belongs to EVERYBODY 2) Zahra's Twitter account belongs to NOBODY.
You these pipu, kontiniu...

10. Britain slashes spending by £12bn in new austerity drive
Hephzibah: How come the savings were "found" in welfare? I wish you the best sha.

I deliberately avoided news about bombings. I believe these terrorists enjoy the attention they get when they take human lives. I pray for those who have lost loved ones and have been displaced. May the Lord help us win the war against terrorism, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
