| 86 Cars, Houses Seized From Corrupt Nigerian Civil Servant Posted: 09 Feb 2018 02:43 AM PST  The Federal Government on Thursday arraigned a federal civil servant, Mr. Ibrahim Tumsah and his brother, Mr. Tijani Tumsah, before the Federal High Court in Abuja with failure to declare their assets to the Chief Okoi Obono-Obla-led Special Presidential Investigation Panel on the Recovery of Public Property. Ibrahim is the Director of Finance and Account in the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing, while his brother, Tijani, is a member of the Presidential Committee on North East Initiative and a former Interim National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The Federal Government had on January 18, 2018 filed a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CR/4/2018 containing two counts of failure of the defendants to declare their assets "without reasonable excuse and upon the notice to declare" them before the panel. Earlier on December 6, 2017, Justice Muawiyah Idris of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Apo, Abuja, had ordered hat 86 luxury vehicles together with four houses and a quarry plant in Abuja, all of which the panel allegedly seized from the two defendants. The Punch had reported that the seized 86 vehicles, 23 of which were said to be armoured, were brand new. The court's forfeiture orders also affected four houses, two of which were located in Wuse II, one in Wuse Zone 7, and the other in Jabi, all in Abuja. The two brothers pleaded not guilty to the two counts when read to them before Justice Nnamdi Dimgba of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday. The offences were said to be contrary to and punishable under section 3(3)(1)(a) of the Recovery of Public Property (Special Provision) Act 2004. Their lawyers, Abdul Mohammed (for Ibrahim) and Kehinde Ogunwumiju (SAN) (for Tijani), applied for their clients' bail. The prosecuting counsel, Mr. Festus Keyamo (SAN), did not oppose the bail application. The judge subsequently granted bail to the two defendants by adopting the bail conditions agreed upon by the prosecution and the defence. Part of the conditions was a bail sum of N20m.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |

| Six Top Reasons God Does Not Answer Your Prayer Posted: 08 Feb 2018 04:38 AM PST  I can tell you for sure that it takes a lot of discipline and obvious sincere heart to connect to God and for him to reveal Himself to you in His glory and give you answers to your prayers - either for yourself or for others if you're a Pastor. This piece kind of simplifies it for easy understanding... Sometimess we're tempted to wonder if God can hear. After months or even years of praying over a particular person or situation, we look for evidence God is getting our message or even paying attention, and we can't find much. Why is that? Why do the heavens sometimes seem like brass? Doesn't God love us and care for us? Isn't he all-powerful? The phrase brass heavens has its origins in the Pentateuch, the first five books of the Old Testament. It was part of God's warning to his chosen people Israel, a promised consequence of neglecting to obey his commands. As the nation prepared to enter the Promised Land, we find this among the curses for disobedience given by Moses: "And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron" (Deuteronomy 28:23; KJV). Most recent translations use "bronze" instead of "brass," but the meaning is the same. Admittedly, this verse in its context has nothing to do with prayer. Rather, it is a warning from God that periods of drought would be one of the many consequences of Israel's rebellion. The skies would appear promising, but the heavy layer of clouds would bring forth no rain. As a result, the ground would dry up and become like iron, impossible to cultivate. For a society that survived largely by agriculture, this was nothing short of a disaster. So while the verse is not about prayer, brass heavens nevertheless became a common expression among Christians because it describes so well the silence of God — the drought of unanswered prayer and the famine-like spiritual unfruitfulness that believers sometimes experience. God has a good and holy purpose for these periods of silence. He wants to test our faith that we might see for ourselves just how weak and dependent we are on him for all Good Success. His goal is nothing less than to heighten our spiritual sensitivities in order to draw us into more intimate fellowship and faithful obedience with him. Prayer blockers...
