“Osinbajo Is My Problem”-President Jonathan

Osinbajo Is My Problem”-President Jonathan Cries Out In Secret Meeting With Pentecostal Pastors In Abuja

Ruffled by the momentum generated by the nomination of Pastor Yemi Osinbajo as General Mohamadu Buhari's running mate, President Goodluck Jonathan is asking a group of Pentecostal pastors to help him avert what he fears could be an impending loss in next month's presidential polls.

Osinbajo, a prominent cleric with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, law professor and Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN emerged APC's presidential running mate last month giving President Jonathan and the ruling party, PDP, what is being described as sleepless nights, by sources.

Specifically last Thursday, the President held a meeting in Abuja, with a number of Pentecostal pastors led by Bishop David Oyedepo of Winners Chapel, with the main agenda being how to fashion out ways to solve the "Osinbajo" problem.

Sources at the meeting confirmed that President Jonathan confessed in a rather rattled and humbling manner that "Osinbajo is my problem."

According to those at the meeting, the President added that "everything was okay until APC picked Osinbajo."

This is coming against the background of wild speculations that APC is an Islamist party and that General Buhari is a religious fundamentalist-which has become one of the main planks of the PDP presidential campaign. While PDP chieftains and supporters have continued to characterize APC as an Islamist party, APC leaders have consistently dismissed such as unfounded, baseless and a scare tactic by the PDP.

Many observers say the nomination of a prominent Pentecostal pastor from the fastest growing church in Africa by the APC may have effectively doused such speculations and the attempt to label the party as one with an islamization agenda.

There has been a rather conscious attempt to make next month's presidential polls a religious one especially in the Southern part of the country where there is a much larger Christian population, observers say.

At the meeting organized by the Executive Secretary of the National Christian Pilgrims Commission (NCPC) John Kennedy Okpara, President Jonathan poured out his mind that running against a leading Pastor of the RCCG, who is also known to be very close to the much reverred General Overseer of the church, Pastor E.A. Adeboye, is an uphill task.

Sources at the meeting, said Jonathan was ruffled and much distracted as he confessed to the challenge to him, of the APC naming such a person as Osinbajo as General Buhari's running mate.

In response, the Pastors led by Bishop Oyedepo assured the President at the meeting that they would, "starting from today," use every device possible including social media, the pulpit and influence peddling, to campaign in support of President Jonathan and against the Buhari-Osinbajo ticket.

Before the meeting with the President, sources said the pastors held a meeting on the same day to strategize and agree on how and what they would present  to the president.

At that pre-meeting, some Pentecostal pastors suggested that they use the opportunity of the meeting afforded by the President to express their genuine fears on growing insecurity in the North with Boko Haram killing and attacking Christians and other innocent Nigerians.

But Bishop David Oyedepo, the most influential pastor at the meeting interrupted the idea, insisting that the meeting was to encourage and strengthen President Jonathan ahead of the elections and not to discuss compelling national issues of concern to majority of Nigerians. 

While some of the pastors were shocked and disappointed that Bishop Oyedepo would not allow them to raise important issues bothering most Nigerians, they decided to keep silent not to be seen as spoilsports.

And later after meeting the president, the pastors gathered together again on the same day to device strategies they will use to campaign against Buhari/Osinbajo, with the main scheme being to label the ticket as an Islamist one.

Some of the pastors also suggested that they can influence Christians that the position of Vice President is not an effective one, and that having a Christian hold it makes no difference, although the Nigerian constitution and the order of precedence makes the office the next in rank to the president.

Indeed as if carrying out the resolve, members of the Winners Chapel said Bishop Oyedepo has already started using the pulpit to achieve the goals set out at last Thursday meeting in Abuja.

Some of the members said yesterday Sunday January 18, Bishop Oyedepo raised a prayer point that an Islamist would not become the President of Nigeria in the polls coming next month to the chagrin of many of the church attendants on Sunday.

SHOCKING-Cristiano-Ronaldo IS quitting .

 Fifa’s Ballon d’Or, called it quit in his Relationship

The Real Madrid striker, who earlier this week won Fifa’s Ballon d’Or, called it quits in his relationship, as he has confirmed his split from his Russian model girlfriend Irina Shayk, according to Portuguese press reports.
According to the Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha, sources within Ronaldo’s inner circle claimed he had told his family that his relationship with Irina was over.
The article featured the following headline: “CR7 confirms to his family that he is separated. He has ended his five years relationship with Irina.”
Rumors of their break-up started this week when Irina, who only follows 33 people on Twitter, appeared publicly to unfollow her boyfriend of four years on the social network.
She was not present in Zurich, Switzerland, on Monday, when Ronaldo won the prestigious FIFA Ballon d’Or award for the third time.

Chelsea manager has been named Portugese manager of the century at the Portuguese Football Federation’s 100th anniversary celebrations in Lisbon.

The 51-year-old revealed he still considers his triumphs with Porto to be the greatest of his managerial career and insists he is hungry for further success at Chelsea.

Mourinho is quoted as telling assembled newsmen; “Obviously the titles that I won with Porto in this context are the most important in my career because they were titles won with a Portuguese team for Portuguese soccer,” Mourinho told the assembled masses as he accepted his award.

“With Porto it was a unique case because that was winning a Champions League final with nine Portuguese players.

“It represents a sensation of not only have reached so many goals in my career but also in some way have contributed to Portuguese soccer.”

Speaking to Chelsea’s official website, he added: “It is a big honour to be recognised as the best coach in Portuguese football history.

“After becoming a European champion with Porto, I left my country but during these 12 years in England, Italy and Spain I always felt the responsibility to represent Portuguese football and the people of my country. So I am very honoured and I am ready to try and write more history at Chelsea.”

Cristiano Ronaldo was named player of the century ahead of  the likes Eusebio, Rui Costa, Coluna and Luis Figo.

Mourinho’s remarkable career has seen him claim seven league titles in four countries and Champions League triumphs with Porto and Inter.

Mourinho was shortlisted for the coach of the year 2014 but did not make the final three man man and hence subsequently lost to Joachim Low Of Germany.

Pastor Adeboye Finally talk on who Nigeria's Next President will BE

“I said my opinion does not matter, because what God is going to do is what He will do” 

With less than a month before Nigerians go to the polls to elect who will lead the country for the next four years, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has said only God knows who Nigeria’s next president will be.
According to Tribune newspaper report online, Pastor Adeboye made the statement on Thursday, at the just-concluded two-day Bible study programme organised by the University of Ibadan, U.I, Christian Family Fellowship, at the International Conference Centre, UI.
It was disclosed that Adeboye informed those at the program that people waiting for his opinion concerning where the presidential pendulum would swing in February 14 needed not bother themselves, as his opinion did not matter, but that of God.
“Do you know that if we talk more about Jesus than we do about politics, God will take care of politics?
“One great ambassador asked what my opinion is about what is going on, I said my opinion does not matter. He said that was not what we wanted to hear.
“I said my opinion does not matter, because what God is going to do is what He will do,” the septuagenarian cleric stated.


Adeboye added: “When you say you are on the side of a politician, you are on the wrong side ever possible. Because politicians never tell you the truth and you can quote me. Tell them that I said so. Politicians know how to say ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ at the same time.”

It was gathered that the annual event started on Tuesday, at 4:00 p.m with other sessions held at 6:00 a.m and 4:00 p.m of Wednesday, as well as 6:00 p.m on Thursday.
Adeboye, who has kept his distance from making public statements on issues relating to the forthcoming general election, while teaching on “Obedience to God’s commands,” enjoined Christians to spend more time preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to unsaved souls rather than politics.

Quoting from the scriptures, he reeled out nine areas to include: Giving, Tithing, Purity, Transparency, Forgiveness, Love, Evangelism, among others where Christians should ensure they walk with God.
Adeboye contended that if Christians focused more on preaching the Good News and winning souls to populate God’s Kingdom, God would take care of the political situation of the country.

He admonished Nigerians to engage more in profitable pastime than dissipating their time and energy on which political candidate was good or bad, saying no human being was good.
“Do you think God is sitting down in Heaven and scratching His head on who should win (the general election)? That has been settled before we were born. Don’t waste your energy discussing this one is good, that one is bad. Is there any human being that is good?” he queried rhetorically.
Adeboye said Christians should focus on telling God in prayers that His perfect will should be done in February, saying they should also understand that God could use even His enemies to carry out His will if need be.
“Ask for the perfect will of God for the elections, instead of worrying over who will win. God can use His enemy to fulfill his will.

“There are many of us who want to know the details of who will win the next elections, who is going to be president, who is going to be governor, …just say, Father let Your perfect will be done.
“What’s God’s perfect will? That if the fellow, who is going to come to power is going to be God’s enemy, it will be part of His perfect will. Because occasionally when God wants to move you to where He wants you to be, He may need to use an enemy. Joseph would never have fulfilled his destiny if his brother had loved him,” the man of God explained.
It would be recalled that Pastor Adeboye, in his New Year prophecy to the nation, haD said he would keep to himself what God told him what would characterize the political atmosphere of the year, but added that “By the end of the year (2015), many will say “all is well that ends well.”
One of Adeboye’s pastors, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo is the running mate of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
Osinbajo had reportedly said after he was announced as Buhari’s running mate that he consulted pastor Adeboye before accepting the APC offer.
On his part, General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has called on Nigerians to fast and pray for the country.
