APC Governors hold meeting in Kaduna state(see photos)
Religious crisis: All the people burnt to death were muslims- Zamfara state gov
"From the intelligence I heard from the security agencies, there was a fight between two students and I think one of them injured the other and started shouting that the other person abused Prophet Muhammed. Other students came and beat the other boy who is Yoruba and from Kogi State. Some people are saying he was a Muslim and some say the boy was a Christian. They beat the student until he collapsed and thought he was dead. Then security personnel requested help from one shop owner who then took the boy to the hospital in his car. When the students heard that the boy was still alive and in the hospital, they went to the hospital. But the boy was rescued by the army in the hospital.
Then the students went back to the polytechnic and burnt down the shop of the person who gave his car to rescue the boy. They went back to town again and as you know the police in the division don’t have enough men to contain the riot and before reinforcement came, the crowd threw tyre in the man’s house and burnt the house down. That was how everybody in the house was killed and everybody killed in the House were Muslims and not like the rumours going around in the social media that Christians are being killed in Zamfara.
Infact the mob wanted to go and burn churches and attack non- Muslims but the security forces stopped them. It’s my home town and that’s where I live.”

Muslims now occupy the Security and Intelligence Committee of the Federal Government - Christian Elders Forum says
In a statement signed by the NCEF Chairman, Solomon Asemota and released yesterday, the group alleged that Nigeria is an Islamic state which is contrary to Section 10 of the Nigerian constitution.
The Elders in their statement expressed worries over the recent attacks meted on Christians in most parts in the North.
There is a bill now pending before the National Assembly, titled “NGO Regulatory Bill” intended to silence NGO’s including the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN).
It is not in dispute that Nigeria is an Islamic State contrary to Section 10 of the Constitution.
What is in dispute is whether Nigeria is ruled by mainstream Muslims or by Islamist Jihadists.
We plead with the Sultan to appreciate that Nigeria is safer and more peaceful when the Government of the Federation or of a State does not adopt any religion as State Religion.
It is as a result of the understanding (or lack of it) of civilized Jihad that we are apprehensive of those in the “Security and Intelligence Committee” of the Federal Government by some unexplained reasons are mainly Muslims.
President Buhari, (Muslim), Chief of Defense (Christian), Chief of Army Staff, Chief of air Staff, Minister of Defense, Minister of Internal Affairs, Inspector General of Police, National Security Adviser, Director General of DSS are all Muslims from the North.
We are not too sure whether the Vice President is a member of this Committee following information that he was once excluded from the meeting the President called.
When the Vice President summoned the same meeting in the absence of President Buhari who was away in the UK, there was resistance and the meeting had to end abruptly.
The conclusion which we, Christians, draw is that jihad is being committed against our country, Nigeria, especially when the cohesive instrument of state is in the hands of three ethnic nationalities and one religion.
This enlists fear in the minds of the populace, especially Christians"the elders said.
They also condemned the recent arrest and arraignment of Joachim Chinakwe Iroko for naming his dog Buhari.
Chinakwe was picked up again based on Police belief that the suspect’s action was capable of provoking an ethno-religious crisis. Because the complainant and his group have threatened to kill him if he comes back and this may happen.
If Nigeria is being run as a secular State, the Constitution in Sections 10, 37, and 38 guarantees right of private and family life, freedom of Thought, Conscience and Religion that should protect Joe Chinakwe and the Complainant would have been arrested but because Nigeria is an Islamic State, Joe Chinakwe has to face trial in the process promoting; the most effective way to get rid of critics is to instill fear in ordinary Nigerians,” the statement said.

Muslims attended church Catholic mass is France
(No PICTURE To SHOW)
Muslims attended Catholic mass in churches around France on Sunday in solidarity following the brutal murder of an 85-year-old priest, Father Jacques Hamel by 2 ISIS jihadists. More than 100 Muslims were among the 2,000 people who packed the 11th-century Gothic cathedral of Rouen, near the Normandy town where the priest's throat was slit.
"I thank you in the name of all Christians," Rouen Archbishop Dominique Lebrun told them. "In this way you are affirming that you reject death and violence in the name of God."
A few policemen and soldiers stood guard outside but did not conduct searches on the attendees. The local imam Otaman Aissaoui led a delegation of Muslims to a Catholic mass and said:
"Being united is a response to the act of horror and barbarism."
Notre Dame church in southwestern Bordeaux also welcomed a Muslim delegation, led by the city's top imam, Tareq Oubrou.
"It's an occasion to show (Muslims) that we do not confuse Islam with Islamism, Muslim with jihadist," said Reverend Jean Rouet.
Muslims were responding to a call by the French Muslim council CFCM to show "solidarity and compassion" over the priest's murder on Tuesday.
A woman wearing a beige headscarf who sat in a back pew at a church in central Paris said:
"I'm a practising Muslim and I came to share my sorrow and tell you that we are brothers and sisters." Giving her name only as Sadia, she added softly: "What happened is beyond comprehension."
At the Saint Leger church in the northern city of Lens, around 30 Muslims attended mass wearing T-shirts emblazoned with messages such as, "Terrorism has no religion or identity".
Father Hubert Renard told the congregation: "We are not alone; our Muslim brothers are here too."
Many were moved to tears during the sign of peace, a regular part of the liturgy when the faithful turn to greet each other in the pews, either shaking hands or kissing.
Muslims also attended Catholic masses in Italy, notably at Rome's Santa Maria di Trastevere church, in response to a call by the Sant'Egidio community known for its international mediation efforts.
Also on Sunday, dozens of prominent Muslims published a joint letter pledging: "We, French and Muslim, are ready to assume our responsibilities."

Prophet Joshua Iginla predicts Zambia election
It was gathered that it generated a lot of controversies especially when popular prophets across the world especially one from South Africa has chosen the opposition party as winner when the election would hold. Reports revealed that during Iginla’s three days crusade in Zambia On the 5th – 7th of May, 2016
In a Prophecy on December 31, 2015, He said
‘The economy will improve but not as expected. The election in Zambia will be will be like two lions fighting. The president should pray in terms of the election because I see betrayals from his camp and so called faithfuls. But in my vision, I see someone trying to pull him from his seat, yet he remain in the seat’’Sources from Zambia confirmed that all he said about the election which took place on Thursday, 11th of August, 2016 came to pass.
It was a tough time for the Zambians as the battle for the seat of the President was one of a kind, one that has never being experienced.
The battle was between the Leader of Patrotic Front, who is also the sitting President, Edgar Lungu and his opponent, representing United Party for National development, Hakainde Hichilema.
The result of the election was released on Monday, 15th of August, 2016, in favour of President Edgar Lungu, confirming Joshua Iginla’s prophecy.
According to reports, Zambia’s incumbent President Edgar Lungu has been declared the winner of a closely fought presidential election, but the result was immediately challenged by his main opponent Hakainde Hichilema. Lungu, leader of the Patriotic Front (PF), won 50.35 percent of Thursday’s vote, against 47.67 percent for Hichilema, of the United Party for National Development (UPND), the Electoral Commission of Zambia said on Monday. The opposition party quickly, however, rejected the result, claiming the electoral commission had colluded to rig the vote against its candidate, to confirm the prophecy.
Similarly, In 2014, when Zambia President at that time, Michael Sata passed on after suffering from a strange illness, and an election was to be carried out, the Fiery Prophet, Joshua Iginla predicted that Edgar Lungu will be the President of the country whenever the election is carried out, even though Sata’s vice President, Dr Scott was appointed as acting President, Lungu was however appointed as the President after the election was observed.

Bandwidth restrictions: How govt’s own policy is undermining digital inclusion ...
By Emmanuel Elebeke
A case in point is the subsisting federal government’s policy and directive that bandwidth should no longer be a recognized item in Ministries, Departments and Agencies’ (MDA) budgets.
This, no doubt has led to significant decrease in payment and demand for bandwidth services to the federal government’s ICT services provider, Galaxy Backbone.
Over time, government took over the responsibility for providing bandwidth and other allied services centrally through Galaxy Backbone, which showed an incremental growth over the time.
This expectedly resulted into improved service delivery and efficiency in governance.
With the insufficient bandwidths and operational support, occasioned by the government policy somersault, sources from some MDAs have complained that they are experiencing dissatisfaction, inadequate coverage and frequent service failures.
The stalemate, Vanguard Hi-Tech learnt has also negatively hampered the perception and the sharing of common services from Galaxy, a practice, experts say, has proven next to none in other countries.
The Managing Director and Chief Executive of Galaxy BackBone, Mr. Yusuf Kazaure , believes that this concept has not helped the much needed adoption of ICTs by MDAs (e-Government) and the Federal government’s efforts to get government online, through automation of work processed and deployment of public services online.
With this policy in place, he reasoned that there is lack of a proper policy framework for e-Government and the use of shared ICT services as a common practice globally.
Lamenting the development, Kazaure said, “MDAs are reverting to pre-Galaxy era and seeking to proliferate ICT projects in silos, disparate infrastructure build-outs and duplicated ICT spending, with its consequences.
Also lamenting the setback, the Galaxy boss, pointed out that the ongoing devaluation of the naira in the country is impacting negatively on the operation of the agency.
As bandwidth, space segment and license/support costs are denominated in dollars, the operation cost is bound to increase.
It is projected that by 2025, the volume of mobile devices and applications, smart devices, mobile internet, social media, big data/analytics users will run into billions and applications in millions globally.
In 2005, only 100s of desktops for internet access, Lans and client/server users and 10s of the devices were available, while in 1985, when only mainframe computer was in vogue, few millions of people had access to computer and thousands of apps.
According to Galaxy Backbone, about 400 MDAs are currently connected with shared service infrastructure and over 3,000 MDA sites connected.
Similarly, the agency stated that over 405 km of fibre has so far been deployed in Abuja metro area and over 1722Mbps of internet provided for government institutions.
If the focus behind the Federal Government’s new move is to lower the cost of governance, it may well be taking several steps backwards as experts say that investment in shared ICT infrastructure will not only lower cost of running government but will ensure faster service delivery, increased security and increased innovation.
Research shows that deployment of a harmonised services can reduce cost of running government by 40 per cent.
It also shows that MDAs that invest on centralized ICT infrastructure can anchor it spending on priority projects and manage common services in a more effective manner.
Data sharing all over the world has proven to be a dependable platform for securing data protection in running public institution like government.
In the modern knowledge economy, achieving data sovereignty and information security is possible in Nigeria if all segment of government is linked up in a shared service platform.
Studies have also proven that harmonized services facilitates rapid impact in achieving e-government programmes, improved fiscal discipline, public reform programmes and get government services online and accessible to more citizens.

Nigeria’s march towards digital inclusion may have started, but experts believe that it will take longer than expected to attain the goal, if some retrogressive policies of government are not urgently reversed.
