ENOUGH IS ENOUGH FOR TERRORISM
The act of terrorism under the disguise of religious extremism as we are currently witnessing in #Pakistan, #Kenya, #Nigeria and elsewhere in the world where such violence and atrocity is being committed against the people of other faiths and beliefs, should be highly condemned by all people irrespective of their religious affiliations.
The lack of human conscience and the fear of God in the reckless and brutal nature of killings and distractions of lives and property by any form of extremism lacks any moral justifications and the perpetrators of this enormous and despicable crime against God and humanity should not be spared when brought to face judgment.
It is my humble opinion that the respective governments of those affected countries should rise to the challenges of insecurity raging their lands and do more to guarantee safety for their citizens anytime any day.
Also, citizens should play their own parts as well in supporting the governments efforts to counter terrorism and fight off the wolves in our midst rather than being fooled by the idiots and their unscrupulous and disgruntled supporters to sabotage efforts and measures taken by governments to free our lands of these evil forces of darkness by showing sympathy to these sheep in wolves clothing who have sneaked in to scatter us apart and attack and kill us as they wish.
It is very disturbing to hear that a person or a group of persons would arm himself/themselves and go to a place of worship, markets, parks, airports, railway stations, malls, schools and other public buildings or gatherings and shamelessly and unscrupulously unleash their shameful, foolish and evil acts against the innocent worshipers of God and civilians without the fear of God or even their very conscience pricking them all in the name of religion. What a shame and a sin against God and humanity! The wicked shall never go unpunished...Amen
May the souls of the innocent victims of any atrocious act of the wicked ones continue to find eternal rest while those who commit this unfortunate, atrocious and condemnable crime against God and their fellow human beings, have no peace at all...not even when they've died...Amen.

Yesterday was exactly 26 years when a beautiful land was carved out of the then old Cross River State and she was named Akwa Ibom State because she was found surrounded by Qua Iboe Rivers and behold, it was a perfect name for a young state full of promises and Uyo was chosen as her capital.
The land of my birth, 'The Promised Land' as she's also known as, is blessed with both natural and human resources. The state has abundance of crude oil reserve and is arguably the number one oil and gas producing state in Nigeria.
Apart from the crude oil, the state is also blessed with numerous of other natural and mineral resources such as palm oil, cocoa, plantain, banana, cassava and palm wine plantations to mention but a few. And the people of the state are industrious and hard working people who love fishing and farming as well as education and are known for their generous hospitality and delicious foods and delicacies that would make you tour the beautiful land over and over again.
She's also a great dancer and is blessed with intelligent and pretty damsels admired all over the world whose brilliant dance steps would remind you of their gracious, generous and beautiful mother. Apart from those quality characteristics that they're associated with, the daughters of Akwa Ibom are also known as good and lovable cooks in such a way that if you eat their meals, oh my goodness! Your wife at home will be tempted to think you've been fed with 'ibok ima' or 'kup no mi' (a love potion) believed to have a magical power that makes someone forget their lovers immediately after eating it and start liking the one who gives them...lol
And the official languages for the people of Akwa Ibom State are: Ibibio, Annang and English and can also speak Efik, the language spoken by the Cross Riverians, their first cousins.
She also has great and respectable sons including me and my numerous honourable brothers but the one ringing the bell at the moment, can also be called the man of the moment.
Having found himself favoured as the fourth son of the soil and the third elected civilian governor to pilot the affairs of the state, His Excellency, Governor Godswill Akpabio has transformed the state to an enviable height. He's been doing fantastically well for the state in the sense that a state that nothing or little was heard about in the past administrations is now reckoned among the fewer states in the country where dividends of good governance is very transparent to the point that her neighbours and lovers of good things speak in glowing terms about her son's remarkable achievements. The infrastructural developments in the state alone will convince you that the governor is working assiduously to carry everyone along in his administration.
But as humans, short comings are always inevitable, and it's our prayers that our dear governor continues in his transforming agendas and keep transforming Akwa Ibom State to that dreamed and desired state of perfection; and may God bless and guide anyone who comes after him...Amen.
And if you would like the state to favour you one day to manage any of her affairs in any capacity, just tell God to bless the writer of this article. Thank you!
Happy 26th anniversary celebration my fellow Akwaibomites! Happy birthday to all who share their birthday with the state! Long live Akwa Abasi Ibom State, long live His Excellency, Governor Godswill Akpabio and long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria. God bless Nigeria and Africa!

COULD CAF AND FIFA BE WORKING HAND IN HAND TO CHEAT NIGERIA. . .
The senior national team of Nigeria have moved one place up in the latest Fifa Africa ranking but dropped from the previous 35th position they held to 36th in the latest world ranking despite winning all their matches of the month under review.
The best five football playing nations in Africa following Thursday's release of Fifa world ranking are: Cote d' Ivoire, Ghana, Algeria, Nigeria and Mali.
It took us good eight months to finally climb above Mali in any of the Fifa Africa rankings, a side Nigeria thrashed so well in the last competitive meeting when the two sides clashed in the semifinal of the Africa Cup of Nations last February in Durban, South Africa.
And again, Ghana who ranked 24th in the world and have been occupying the 2nd spot in Africa despite the fact that they too have lost matches since we won AFCON can not be said to have done better than Nigeria in the past eight months. Even Cote d' Ivoire at the summit of the African ranking and 19th in the world have also suffered some form of loss at our hands earlier this year during a quarterfinal clash at AFCON as the game ended 2-1 in favour of Nigeria.
What is so annoying is the fact that Algeria who didn't take part in the last edition of AFCON are ranked ahead of the champions of Africa both in the Africa ranking and the world's as they occupy 3rd and 28th spots respectively.
It is important to note that under Stephen Keshi Nigeria have only lost twice and both happened at the Fifa Confederations Cup in Brazil over two months ago when the African champions lost 2-1 to Uruguay and the world and European champions, Spain. Nigeria lost those matches not because they didn't play well but because they lacked prolific finishers in front of goal at that time as brilliant, skillful and creative Victor Moses and powerful and reliable Emmanuel Emenike were all exempted from the Nigerian squad for that tournament due to injury.
In view of the incessant and unjust understimation and other form of misjudgment about the performances of the Super Eagles of Nigeria and our players by the concerned football organisations, it should be recommended that the NFF should sit up and take a critical look at this unfortunate scenario and call both FIFA and CAF to explain the criteria they use in ranking Nigeria in the Fifa rankings and rating our players for glo CAF awards. God bless our Africa!
