The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor Williams Kumuyi has declared that women who put on trousers are committing abomination unto God.
The clergy man who preached on the topic: “The Inner and Outward Beauty of Kingdom Citizens” at a special service today, Monday, warned men also not put on women’s wears neither should women put on men’s wears.
“Everybody will frown, if a preacher come to the pulpit putting on a woman’s wear, as people will think he was abnormal.
“The standard of God will never change even if the world will change. God will still frown at any woman wearing men’s wears or men putting on women’s wears.”
Pastor Kumuyi challenged Christians to keep on obeying God’s word rather than the world and not bow to pressures even as he stressed that the outward beauty which the world seemed to appreciate bred pride and arrogance.
He said that the inner beauty gotten through Salvation in Christ should be coveted by all as such would lead to heaven.
Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has said that he is still marveling at how God had elevated him to the position he is occupying now, which he never ever dreamt of.
“Occasionally, my wife and I reflect on how unlikely our journey here is. She frequently reminds me that all she wanted was a quiet life as one of the many families of academics living on the University campus. That was all that I promised, and that’s all that she really expected, but here we are. “If someone had said to me in 2013, “you will be campaigning across the country; attending rallies and that you would win the elections and become the Vice President of Nigeria”, I would, because I am generally polite, have said amen, but in my heart, I would have said what a crazy chap!” Professor Osinbajo, who spoke today, Monday at special Thanksgiving Service at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, acknowledged that God is worthy of praise, adding that it is impossible to thank Him enough.
“I and my family, and so many of us here today have so many reasons to thank Him. “Anyone who knows how difficult it is to campaign for Local Government Chairman and win, will understand how difficult it is to accept that merely because someone said so, that you would be elected into any position.
“I’m sure many of us here today, also celebrating the success of the elections, national assembly members and governors-elect also, would accept that except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain who build it. It is impossible to know the outcomes of anything.
“It is the Almighty God who brings about the wonderful phase that we celebrate and thank Him for.” Vice President Osinbajo admitted that he has no special qualification to be Vice President or to have enjoyed such an incredible promotion.
“Psalms 75:6 says for exaltation comes neither from the East nor from the West nor from the South, all the exaltations comes from God. “Psalms 75:7 says but God is the Judge; He puts down one, and He exalts another. I want to thank the Almighty God for exaltations. I want to thank Him also for all of us here present, and those believing God for exaltations. I believe the Lord God Almighty would promote you also in Jesus name. “On the 2nd of February 2019, God gave me and members of my family, friends and colleagues, even further reasons to know that if not for His mercies, we would have been consumed. We were going to Kogi for a two-day campaign tour, and then our helicopter crashed as we got in to land at Kabba. You know how it is when things happen, everybody becomes spiritual; everybody becomes a prophet, people saying why and how? “I remember in the split second when the incident occurred, for a second, there was absolute silence and nobody said anything. It was my brother who started shouting Jesus Jesus Jesus! But for a moment, there was complete silence in the helicopter. “On reflection, it occurred to me that if we had died, that is what would have happened, complete silence, nobody saying a single word. A few minutes later with all of the activities, all of us got out of the helicopter without a scratch. God is surely worthy to be praised! “I reflected over the various problems that would have occurred; the smaller problems would have been the rumours, how did it happen? Who did it? Why did they do it? With the way we are, I just felt sorry for so many people who would have been involved in conspiracy theories of things they knew absolutely nothing about. But God delivered them too because they would have had to explain themselves. “We bless the name of God that He not only wrought such a great deliverance, but that He did it in such a way that only He could take the glory. We give all the glory to Him! “I want to thank everyone who has supported in so many different ways, all through the campaigns and elections, so much support and prayers, so much love and kindness. I pray that the Almighty God would be kind to you also, you will never lack in support, you will never lack in care and affection, you will never lack the genuine prayers of those who want you to succeed in the mighty name of Jesus. “I pray that all of us will travel in aircrafts and the Almighty God will always deliver. It is by His grace that we are delivered. It is not by anything we do or we are careful not to do. “I recall that there was a gentleman who was talking about how it is always good to exercise, but another friend of ours reminded him that there was a particular gentleman who we all knew very well, who died while exercising. So I think that all we can depend on is the sheer grace of the Almighty God. “So we praise the Almighty God and I want each and every one of us who believes that the Almighty God is worthy of praise, shout one mighty halleluiah!”
The Nigeria Police has announced the arrest and detention of officers on the Anti Cultism unit of the police command who allegedly killed Kolade Johnson that led to violent protest by some angry youths, leading to the blockade of Lagos- Abeokuta Express Way.
A statement today, Monday, by the spokesman of the Lagos Police Command, DSP Bala Elkana, said that through account of eye witnesses at No.1 Beco street, Onipetesi, Mangoro Bus Stop, the scene of the incidence, men of the Rapid Response Squads and Metro patrol were able to identify the alleged killer police officers.
According to DSP Bala Elkana, the officers, whose names and number he did not mention, have subsequently been arrested “and are currently in Police custody undergoing interrogation.

The incidence occurred yesterday, Sunday, March 31.
The Permanent Secretary in the State House (the Aso Rock Presidential Villa), Abuja, Jalal Arabi (in the middle), appeared before the Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs today, Monday, April,1, 2019, along with the Director of Budget, Abdulkarim Isiyaku (left) and the Director of Finance & Account, Bashir Alkali, to defend the budgetary allocations to the State House.
Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has cautioned against sidelining the Southeast in the ninth National Assembly leadership, scheduled to take off from May this year.
Governor Okorocha, who spoke to news men today, Monday, shortly after an audience with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja said: “I have been watching carefully what is happening in the National Assembly, it’s a very interesting drama. But all I ask them is that they should consider the Southeast in their calculations.
“This nation will not be properly balanced if Southeast is not carried along properly in the affairs of the National Assembly. Nobody seems to be talking about the Southeast, it looks like the South East doesn’t have a place anymore, that is wrong, politically speaking and that is not good for APC.
“Because there is going to be a bigger APC after President Muhammadu Buhari must have left the seat. My fear now is that APC might have a serious setback in 2023 because the Oshiomhole’s led executive is actually turning APC into a regional minority party which shouldn’t be because of his mistakes.
“Right now in the whole Southeast, we don’t have an APC governor. So if there is any discussion in Nigeria now within the APC governors and President Muhammadu Buhari, there would be nobody from the South East.
“This is what the APC Chairman has done in the Southeast. I think it’s a capital attempt to frustrate the efforts of the South East. But I appeal to every Nigerian to support the cause of the Southeast.
“They shouldn’t think about giving South East, whatever position for giving sake. You can’t just wake up and give them any position. South East is a key primary zone in this country and if we don’t get the number one seat, we should get the number two seat.”
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has warned the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to purge itself of “bad eggs and hypocrites if it wants to regain its lost glory. He said that such bad eggs lacked commitment to return the opposition party to its lost glory.
According to the former president, many of the PDP leaders who left the party after it lost the 2019 presidential election are still preoccupied with what get to “their pockets and stomach.”
Obasanjo, who spoke yesterday, Sunday evening, when the Southwest PDP leaders led by the party’s National Vice Chairman (South West), Dr Eddy Olafeso, visited him at his Pent-House Residence around the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library (OOPL), Abeokuta, Ogun State, said: “I knew PDP would lose election in 2015 because it was clear. And I knew PDP will need to be rebuilt after losing the election.
“PDP leadership should purge itself of bad eggs and hypocrites who lack commitment to return the opposition party to its lost glory.
“Wondering why some of them left the party while others lost hope the moment the results of 2019 Presidential election were announced, many are still preoccupied with what gets to their stomach.”
The purging exercise would put the party on a higher pedestal to scout for those he called “critical mass of committed people,” who “would be ready to stand with the party come rain, come shine.
“You need what I call critical mass of committed people, and come rain, come shine they are committed. With that, you can make Nigeria better.
“You see peoples’ faces beautiful but you don’t know what each person harbours inside of him. If you discover a bad egg, remove such a person. And if such person has learnt his or her lessons there can still be room to accommodate the person.
“Politically speaking, you can’t be my friend if you don’t buy into the Nigeria’s project. For me, till death, I will continue to push for a better Nigeria.
“I said if you compare the two of them (referring to Atiku and Buhari); with what I know and all I have written about the incumbent which they have decided to cover up, Atiku is better than the incumbent by far. That’s the point I am making. And nobody is perfect.
“I am not a perfect person. I have my shortcomings. If I deny my shortcomings, it means I am not being truthful to myself. But, my shortcomings have nothing to do with my love for Nigeria. It has nothing to do with being greedy or selfishness.”
Akwa Ibom Governor, Udom Emmanuel has named two types of pastors operating in Nigeria churches today.
“There are two types of pastors; the ones that God called and the ones that called God.”
He said that those that called God are not called by God, saying: “let it be known that God didn’t call them.”
Governor Udom, who was reacting to a pastor who predicted that he would not win re-election as governor in the just concluded election, during a convention service at the Insight Bible Church Uyo today, Sunday, warned people to be wary of fake preachers and prophets as they are not called by God.
He attributed his eventual victory to the awesome power of God in the affairs of men and thanked God for defending His name and upholding the confidence of those whose trust are in Him.
“There are those ones that said Udom Emmanuel will lose election. I thank God for guaranteeing us victory, this further attests to our belief that those who put their trust in God cannot be forsaken.
“It has also boosted the confidence of our people in the awesome power of God.”
Chelsea managed to scale through what looked an embarrassing crushing defeat in the hand of third-bottom Cardiff Cardiff City by ending the duel 2-1 in the English Premier League (EPL) today, Sunday.
Chelsea’s captain, Azpilicueta dragged headed goal that appeared to be offside even as the completed the fightback, as substitute Loftus-Cheek stormed in at the back post to plant a header in the bottom corner.
Maurizo Sarri’s Chelsea stayed sixth in the table with 60 points, level with fifth-placed Arsenal, who have played a game fewer, and a point behind Manchester United in fourth.
Cardiff’s plight looks increasingly bleak as they are now five points adrift of the safety zone with seven games remaining.
Chelsea, who started without talisman, Eden Hazard and midfielder N’Golo Kante, struggled to create chances and failed to hit a single shot on target in the first half.
Aron Gunnarsson’s long-throws for striker Oumar Niasse troubled the Chelsea defence for the majority of the match and it was key to Cardiff’s breakthrough just after the interval.
The visitors failed to clear the delivery launched into the box, leaving midfielder Harry Arter to whip the ball back in for Victor Camarasa.
He fired a first-time finish into the top corner.
The hosts had two penalty kick appeals turned down, with defender Sean Morrison tugged down by Marcos Alonso and Antonio Rudiger in two separate incidents.
“We worked three weeks for this but to get let down by decisions… No major decisions went for us,” Cardiff manager Neil Warnock said.
“It’s the best league in the world but the worst officials. They don’t understand what is at stake. They shouldn’t make mistakes at this level.
“My players feel like they have been kicked in the teeth. We’ve been kicked so many times. I don’t deserve officials like that today. There is no excuse for that, it’s criminal.”
Cardiff next face a trip to second-placed Manchester City on Wednesday, while Chelsea host Brighton and Hove Albion.
Leader of the Northern Elders’ Forum, Professor Ango Abdullahi has described the just concluded 2019 general election in the country as a monumental political tragedy that has taken Nigerian many miles backwards.
“The 2019 so-called election is a monumental political tragedy that has taken Nigerian many miles backwards. I can tell you that if this type of sham is allowed to go unchallenged, it would lead to open warfare that the country might never recover from.
“The election is below the minimum standard we expected and this type of day-light manipulation and robbery can never sustain democracy in Nigeria. “It now appears as if INEC invented inconclusive elections as a roadblock to undo and unsettle political opponents of those they wanted to favour, thereby drawing the hands of electoral advancement backwards.”
Professor Ango Abdullahi, in an exclusive interview with Vanguard, said that if the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), continues to conduct such elections and the outcome not challenged, it had the potential of throwing Nigeria into an open warfare that the nation might never recover from.
According to him, INEC shortchanged the people of Nigeria by abandoning the provisions of the Constitution which recognize simple majority as the basis for winning election and relying on a self-serving and unknown principle of ‘inconclusive’ elections.
“If I may ask, where does INEC get its powers to declare election inconclusive instead of declaring the winner once the person has scored a simple majority and two one quarter of the votes in two thirds of the states in terms of the presidential election and local governments in the case of governors?”
The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has rolled out things that 157,631 candidates scheduled to sit for the 2019 Mock Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) across the country, tomorrow, Monday, April 1 are expected to observe.
The Head of the Media and Information in the Board, Fabian Benjamin, told News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in an interview today, Sunday that all the candidates are expected to adhere strictly to all the rules guiding the test.
“I want to say that we are fully set to conduct the mock examination, which is scheduled to hold tomorrow, Monday across some centres nationwide.
“We will also like to appeal to candidates to ensure that they get to their various centres early enough for the necessary accreditation.
“No excuse for lateness will be entertained from any candidate, as the board takes this examination as seriously as the main UTME.
“All candidates must also ensure that they do their biometrics as failure to do this will mean no examination for such candidates.
“They are also expected not to access the examination hall with all the barred items by the JAMB, such as wrist watches, handsets and others.”
He said that the date for the conduct of the UTME proper would commence on April 11.
Tthe mock test is being conducted mainly to test run facilities at the various accredited centres nationwide, as well as familiarise candidates with the process.
Over 1.8 million candidates had registered for the 2019 UTME.
