You are my bidding place
U always fill my heart
With songs of deliverance
Whenever I am afraid
I will trust in u.

I will trust in u
I will trust in u

Let the weak say I am strong
In strength of the lord.

Mat 8:18

20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

Jesus never put himself at a point of rest due to what he beleives he has to achieve. He did not allow a pattern of behavior to hold him down....

If a person has been setting goals and are not being achieved it is simply because the internally that person has a set pattern of life which simply holds the person down...

But when the wind comes, this simply help in changing set pattern... But if you put yourself in the position of constant change then you really not need external wind.. And such people will typically move up.

So you need to change your set patterns and move out of your comfort zone....

Now about the country....

The wind has started blowing....
Even tough the government seems to be right in their direction, the people are in deep pains and the passage below explains it all and what we need to do...

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. (Romans 8:18)

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. (Romans 8:19)

For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, (Romans 8:20)

Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. (Romans 8:21)

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. (Romans 8:22)
...........

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Romans 8:26)

But we need to intercede... Before the spirit will help our infirmity...

Song...
This is my desire
To worship

I worship

All that I adore is in u

Lord I give my heart
I give u my soul
I live for u alone
Every breath that I take
Every moment that I am awake
Have ur way in ... 2ce

Message
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: (Luke 17:20) continue to Verse 23

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. (Luke 17:21)

The kingdom of God lies inside of you....

Despite all the physical manifestation of God's power during the isrealites wilderness travail, the people were still stiff neck....

Physical manifestation is not a guarantee to change man. The change is on the inside and that is why God said , I will write my law in their hearts.

Ezekiel 22 16
And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt know that I am the LORD. (Ezekiel 22:16)

Every tree will bring forth fruit of his own kind... And the fruit so provided, has the potential of bring forth multiple trees...

Same as our blessing... Blessings as fruits have potential to multiply, Gus like fruits.

Same as the loaves of bread that Christ multiplied.

That is why those that have more will always have more as their fruits are programmed to yield multiple provided the laws of sowing and reaping is followed.

Now, God did not create the principle of fruit multiplication for myopic and selfish reason... The fruits multiply so that there can be food for people beyond the original planter. The planter when planting have the intention of feeding many more people.

In the intangible, this is the manifestation of Love... U must love the people and have that intention to bless for those fruits to manifest multiplicity.

The reason why Christ could feed thousands with the few loaves was the compassion and love and the need to feed the people...

Our heart must not condemn us when we make confession for whatever we want to be fruitful. So of our head desires something, but our heart did not align we are wasting our time. So when we write down our confessions, this allows our heart to align with our head and by the time the writing has been redone over and over again, we would have figured out and eliminate what does not align with our earth ad that of God. .....

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search. (Psalms 77:6)

It has been established that when you see, you can remember and internalising .. That is why we see... We operate by internal visualization... You need to see it in the inside...

Covenant of Brotherhood

Luke 22: 35 ...
35 And he said unto them, When I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing.

Law of confession''' Kenneth Hagin... Kenneth Copeland.

23 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.

The command here is just 9 words... Be thou taken up and cast into the sea.

And when Christ cursed the fig tree, he used exactly 9 words.. Meaning you do not need several words to command, but rather the understanding in the inside.

Never allow root of bitterness to develop...

First born blessing gives double portion to the blessed. That is combining the blessing of the Father and his own doubled.

We must have the first born mentality.

To the general assembly and church of the first born who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, (Hebrews 12:23)

First born principle
- You do not think of being given to but how you can give. What service you can render in the body of christ. Give from the sense of responsibility and should not be outward.
First born never think of how people do not help them, but how they will help others.

1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. 4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. 5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the Lord thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

6 Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

Commandment to rejoice after a temporary setback... How failure becomes success that disconnect pains

God is too good to keep you a slave of your past

Never mourn over failure or pain...

The pain of giving birth becomes joy immediately after

Message
Passage
John 16: 16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.

19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? 20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. 21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. 22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you. 23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. 25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. 26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: 27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. 28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father. 29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.

Message

Alright let's turn our bibles to... Mathew chapter 7 about

The sermon on the mount.

If any body kept the principals that were attained in this passage the person will be unscathed

The principals constitute the kingdom of God.

Everything that Jesus taught on the sermon on the mount was to do with how we treat one another. He was talking about the power of human relationships. He said if your beothe is asking for your foegivens and you still remain reliant to forgive him any gift you give to God will bwe considered useless that your relationship with your brother is more important than any gift you can give onto God.

Mathew 7-ask and you shall be given.

The problem with most of us christians is mental laziness you don't just say the grace of God fir things that you are not experienced in.

The bible says seek and discover that you need to learn and seek for the knowledge you need and after you've searched you then knock on the door.

If there is a little percentage of light go for it. You don't get anything done by sitting down... You must seek and search for the light or if you sre a slight opening in the door GO FOR IT

Find the information needed to accomplish the given job.

Knocking on the door arw under the influence of these principles...

1.) Walk in the light - if you hate your brother you are walking in the darkness so there is a higher chance of tripping and stumble.

DANNY WELBER- Take his story for example.

If you walk in the darkness you get so frustrated that you don't see the most obvious of things.

Nothing happens without a FIGHT.

Narrow is the way that leads to light.

When you are walking in the light you donakt call attention to your self. Walk in love.

3 principles of love...

Be intelligent with what you do.
Be in offensive.

1 corinthians chapter 12 vs 31 and 13:11-12...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Any body that declares Jesus is lord is working in the spirit.
You must be caring so anytime someone is suffering you must go there to comfort the person.

1 John:3- we have fellowship one with another. If we walk in the light we wain fellowship eoth one another-

1.) We forgive anyone one who we are holding a grudge on so as to receive forgiveness from God.

Once there is any form of material advancement people will change.

2.) Do not be offended...

3.) Lay down your life for your brethren...
.
4.) Material distribution...

1 Timothy 5:3 honor widows that are widows indeed

Success from Asking and receiving;

Mathew chapter 7 vs 7- Ask and you shall be given...

Anyone who seeks shall find and who so
ever knocks the door shall be opened.

No Son will ask for bread and what he will get from manifestation will be a stone. So what Jesus is saying that whoever asks shall receive.

Increase is a result of personal effort multiplication is a result of the people in your network.

So according to Mat 7:12 do unto others as you will like to be dealt with. This sums up the law and prophets. You can only multiply via people in ur network.

There are some people who are not useful or valuable that they are a burden to the people around you or you are just the not adding any value to their people neither trying to add value. just minding your own business

The principle of the jewish first born. This first born is not necessarily the physical first born but the one in the family that is most valuable to the family.

The law for any man to be meaningful in life is found in the law of ask and you shall be given.

This relates to a person who has five measure and believe he has 60 measures in him.

You rejoice in the fulfillment of something. This propels u to achieve it. The joy propels u to the achievement.

Know the sequence.....

Ask you shall be given
Seek and you shall find

That is you ask and you receive in your heart and you rejoice with understanding then you seek it and then you find it. The thing will start crystallize as soon as start to seek.

You prayed for a job you believe you have received and then you look for the job.

Desire and longing is not the same thing as pursuing your dream.

For you to take a leap, you may have to stop, move back and run for the leap. The moving back is what looks like a setback or pause.

God is simply setting you up to review before you take that leap.

So humble yourrself and learn. Here you ask for God to grant you understanding and wisdom.

There is a level of understanding that makes other thing irrelevant.

You still ask for wisdom... This situation that I am in I do not understand, but pls give me the wisdom to navigate this.

Read about appointment of deacons... You should be greedy of gain, but use the office well which gives you a greater degree.
Job 8.. Thou thy beginning were small their later lot will be great.

Message

Alright open your bibles to... The new testament... Title is...
IF you want to FAIL keep these commandments:

You need to teach sometimes what something is not in order for people to understand it.

Success is about doing what improves your personal situation to the point you become more useful to people around you.

The value of the material things you acquire when you succeed it carries with it the lessons learnt while acquiring these material things.

Commandments for failures:

1). Don't learn from your mistakes or better still don't admit that you have made those mistakes - The first man, Adam, messed up but the second man Jesus succeeded. On the first attempt of Moses freeing the isrealites he murdered someone but the second attempt was successful.

Same applied to Abraham with the story of Ismael.

You either act like Daniel or the people making jest of him trying to fail him. Whosover hardens his heart shall not prosper but whosoeve admits his mistake they shall be blessed.

2). Don't acquire the virtue of intelligence or courage- You must be emotionally intelligent ? This refers to your level of empathy in that person.

That is can you put urself in the place of the other person and understand their situation and feeling and act with understanding.

You cannot succeed if you don't get others to cooperate with you and to do so you need empathy which brings about loyalty to the person you're cooperating with.

Take for example a man that gets payed 50,000 , Naira and asks for a salary increase you must put yourself in his shoes, let's say he pays 25,000 for transport... How does he pay for food for his family?!?! If you really put yourself in his shoes you will get Him a better location to live in so his transport fee will be a mere 5,000 Naira So he could use the remaining money for him and his family.

Buying things for people wouldn't bring about loyalty.

Take the story of the ant told by Billy Graham. Ants in a circular fenced place with an outlet

The Law of unintended consequences :D

3). Be hasty in spirit.. Be hasty when taking decision.

Hastiness has been something that has been destructive... Many people have destroyed their wealth because of one decision.

Look at things the way it is not the way you want it to be.

You must hit that kind of intelligence that you can say" Eureka".

Look at the facts as they are.

4). Send mixed messages... Be a consistent person.

When things change around you, you must make the NECCESSARY adjustment.

If you are stagnant you will not advance

Don't let the success of yesterday become a trap. Do not hold onto one successful moment

Some died of the diseases that they were praying to get rid from others because they don't have the word in them. Make sure the WORD is in you.

Song of Praise to the LORD

10 Sing to the LORD a new song,
his praise from the ends of the earth,
you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it,
you islands, and all who live in them.
11 Let the wilderness and its towns raise their voices;
let the settlements where Kedar lives rejoice.
Let the people of Sela sing for joy;
let them shout from the mountaintops.
12 Let them give glory to the LORD
and proclaim his praise in the islands.
13 The LORD will march out like a champion,
like a warrior he will stir up his zeal;
with a shout he will raise the battle cry
and will triumph over his enemies.

14 "For a long time I have kept silent,
I have been quiet and held myself back.
But now, like a woman in childbirth,
I cry out, I gasp and pant.

2nd Chronicle
Early in the morning they left for the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, "Listen to me, Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith in the LORD your God and you will be upheld; have faith in his prophets and you will be successful." 21 After consulting the people, Jehoshaphat appointed men to sing to the LORD and to praise him for the splendor of his[c] holiness as they went out at the head of the army, saying:

"Give thanks to the LORD,
for his love endures forever."

22 As they began to sing and praise, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated. 23 The Ammonites and Moabites rose up against the men from Mount Seir to destroy and annihilate them. After they finished slaughtering the men from Seir, they helped to destroy one another.

24 When the men of Judah came to the place that overlooks the desert and looked toward the vast army, they saw only dead bodies lying on the ground; no one had escaped. 25 So Jehoshaphat and his men went to carry off their plunder, and they found among them a great amount of equipment and clothing[d] and also articles of value—more than they could take away. There was so much plunder that it took three days to collect it. 26 On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berakah, where they praised the LORD. This is why it is called the Valley of Berakah[e] to this day.

check Jonah's prayer, he ended with praises

These 3 combination guarantees your prayers.

Ps 81
... Proven by the water od Mweibq
Mark 11:24

Heb 3..
If you hold fast the confidence and the regioicing

Hold firm until the new order and be rise.

(His is the confifence that what you ask

At what point will a person know that I have recived theis

This when someone offers the rpayer according to the will og God.

Kenneth Haggin, the act of prayer

When u prayer but not knowing the exact will of God, you read and get a revelation that ties to ur prayer, then you pray with that scripture -i.e the understanding, so you now thank God based on that understanding.

This is NOT a joke. If you were able to pass these 3 tests, you can cancel your annual visit to your neurologist. Your brain is great and you're far from having a close relationship with Alzheimer.

Congratulations!

Ecc 11. 4
He that observe the wind shall not sow and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.

It is more blessed to give that receiving simply means it is more productive to give as what you give is what will be multiplied back to u.

Luk12:13smmm Do 50

... Money is a defense but soi also wisdom, knowledge. ... Find the scripture

Gal 6:
... Be not deceived God cannot be mocked.. He that soweth to the flesh shall reap corruption....

Men ought to pray and not faint.. The only thing that makes u not to faint is pray and have continuous communion with God.

Kenneth Haggin and Kenneth Copeland

Someone sows and another reaps ... Read carefully as the verse says the two of them rejoice together. ... Peter sowed appolo watered.. So that means is that the one that sowed is helped y being reaped by someone else...

Message
Phil 3, 7-

But what things were gain to me I counted loss for Christ.
Yea doubless I count all things but loss dor the exclency of the knowledge of christ my Lord; for whom I have suffered

Basic principle of reaping and blessing

Seed Faith Principle.

1. Understand God is our source
2. Sow a seed of faith, essentially understand you faith and faithfulness is a seed.
3.

Christ is ur Rock of Ages..

Ages means dispensation.. Ages dispensation changes, but the rock remains the same.
Now understand that even though God is constant his channel of blessing changes with dispensation. When that channel and instrument changes, which is chosen by God out of his will for what he want to achieve people may get confused and then get corrupt by being caught up in confusing the channel of blessing which do change with the source of blessing. When this happens people may start to compromise th source in order to maintain the channel.

Illustrations;
A person lost his job and was dejected talking to his pastor he was counsel led that it was just that a channel was lost not your source of funds who is God.
Now relate it back to Paul comment on the opening passage.

Typically, the end of an personal era typically leads to the beginning of a future that is to benefit the whole of humanity.

Note you may enter into the fellowship of his suffering before this...

> The first

Song... 1

And we will say that u r good

And all the miracles u have done have brought us joy

And all the hope we have
We place in u right now

Father we declare that we lov u.

We declare ur eva lasting luv for u.

Song 2
Message

Isaiah Chpt 5.
Now will a sing a song to my beloved a song of my beloved ...

Principle of building the hedge
Principle of mercy
Principle of favor

How is the hedge built.
This not the aggressive uncompromising which stoll makes u to
- must have rule over your spirit. Say the case of IMF president that destroyed his career in just two hours of lust.
Self mastery is a hedge. (Judgment, mercy and faith -i.e faithfulness and sincerty )
Be sincere with yourself.Don't go into denial... With sincerity, try to identify your gap.

- Build a solid confession that replaces the weakness with strength.

Phillipians 2:15
That ye may be belamed...16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the sight of christ

Psalms 33:16
There is king saved by the multitude of a host...

How does the mercy of God operate in our lives?
-make sure u close that gap
Cleanse heart so nothing can easily offend me

-James 5:2-5
Go to now ye rich men...

Favor

U must consciously ask for favor. Favor does not come out of your skill but from God and only God.

Acts 2. 46... And they continue daily in one accord etc

Deut 24:1.
Favor... You must elevate relationship over money.

Favor is driven by good name and by giving. Favor is what you need to pray for not money.

2011-05-15T14:12:00.001-07:00

Great is ur mercies towards me
Your loving kindness towards me
Your Tender mercy I see
Day after day

Forever faithful towards me
Always providing for me
Great is your mercy towards me
Great is your grace

Isa 5-2
And he fenced it, and gathered stones therefore and planted....

1. Secure your convenant first.
.
A man that has no rules over his spirit is like a city without a wall.

Guard your hear with all diligence

Master your life. If there a broken hedges you need to stand in the gap and ask God to help fortify
2. Remove stones from your vine... Forgive, clean heart

3. Plant choice vine.. Make great confessions

4. Build watch tower - that is a tower of prayer.

5. Make a wine press. Establish a business I.e whatever your confessions are must be ultimately to reflect in that winepress I.e what you believe is important to you. Define what your wine press is that is what people will judge you with.

Using this for your child and you noticed a weakness go to your watch tower, build a fence and stand in the gap for that child and use prayers consistently to stand in the gap.

Read the next decade.

PO:

This singularly innovative "dry month" versus "wet month" dichotomy of the "ancien regime" - ee get as ee be - but actually the term "peculiar" is now (or has long been) an OFFICIAL term in Nigerian salary (or money-related) legalese, particular in terms of ALLOWANCES. However, I only learnt about it RECENTLY when reading about VC-ship within the rank of public servants, and what I have to face with respect to ASUU + NASU + SSANU + SATHURAI etc. (the unions).

The arithmetic is simple:

Total Salary package = Basic Salary + General Allowances + Peculiar Allowances

(based on (that every body (based on the NATURE of your

Grade + Step in your Grade takes, job eg hazard + special duties +

level) with amount indexed security needs, special demands etc.)

%-wise on your Basic salary)

These are OFFICIAL terms, and I am NOT making them up.

The (General + Peculiar) sum can be anywhere from 5 to 10 times the Basic Salary. Furthermore, it is not ALL the Peculiar Allowances that are disclosed up-front or that or on paper, but they can be negotiated with your Authorizing Body.

Nigeria, indeed, is a PECULIAR country.

> You see, Tosin dropped the "dry months" thing for the uninitiated just as they keep telling us about "stone based road" or "laterite based road". I don't know aÂ goodÂ civil engineer who will speak in such terms. Â We are not different than the rest of humanity and when i read "peculiar" I instantly think of our corruption.

Yes, I think contractors may factor in weather situations in arriving at contract duration. They may even seek for extension due to adverse weather. But not too sure you write in "DRY MONTHS" in any contract up front.

Beauty of Mathematics

2011-05-03T14:48:00.003-07:00

Absolutely amazing!
Beauty of Mathematics !!!!!!!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321

1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10= 1111111111

9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888

Brilliant, isn't it?

And look at this symmetry:

1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111 = 123456787654321
111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

Now, take a look at this...

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

If:

H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

It's up to you if you share this with your friends & loved ones just
the way I did..

God bless

An Open Letter To President-Elect Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan

2011-04-29T08:18:00.001-07:00

----- Forwarded by Femi Kupoluyi/NG/AFR/TCCC on 29-04-11 04:18 PM -----

From:	Debo Adeduntan <adebowale.adeduntan2@mail.dcu.ie>

Subject:	[EKITIPANUPO] An Open Letter To President-Elect Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan

Mr President,
It is with shock and utter disbelief I received the news that you have so far won 25 per cent in 28 states plus Federal Capital Territory. According to the 1999 constitution, a winner needs the majority of votes and at least 25 per cent of votes in 24 states of the 36 states of the federation.

So far you have won 25 per cent in 28 states, leaving your closest rival, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari of the Congress for Progressive Change with victories in only 12 states. I know you and your cronies will be celeberating and popping the proverbial champagne now but here is a word of caution from perhaps one of your worse critics.

Allow me to explain that the presidential victory of April 16th was a victory for yourself and not necessarily for the PDP, which you are a part and parcel of. This should reveal without any equivocation that the elections were not driven by issues, but sentiments about personalities, religion and ethnicity.

It is my opinion that as a nation we should grow our democracy to achieve a situation whereby persons win elections on the basis of merit and actual performance not sentiments, and certainly not with the aid of financial inducements, blackmail and violence.
I will not bore you with all the expectations Nigerians (the ones who voted for you, anyway) have-I believe you know all of these and intend to meet all of them.

Nevertheless, I intend to remind you of all the myriad of promises you made during your political campaign throughout the country. In my generosity, I have listed them for you here.

1. You Prmoised to rule for only one term (reference http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12339017)
As a man of your words or rather as you want to make us believe, PLEASE stick to this plan and pledge.
I sincerly hope we will not have political jobbers, groups like Youths Earnestly Ask for Jona, Dbanj, Lagbaja, Sunny Ade all singing for your second term bid? I sincerly hope also, you will not come out and openly deny you didnt make such promise or statements as you did about the zoning saga.

2. You promised a consitutional role for Traditional Rulers!!! I am short of words but Nigerians are waiting

3. On March 17th 2011, in Dutse the Jigawa statte capital, you promised:"If I win the election, within my four years in office, I will establish domestic airports in all the states without airports, WE ARE WAITING.

4. In Nasarawa, at the flagoff of your campaign you promised at least a university in every state including building specialist almajiri schools to shore up education in the North so as to eradicate illiteracy. The Almajiris are waiting o!

5. On February 8th in Ibadan, the day you called some people "rascals", you promised to create jobs and improve the power sector. The OYO people and indeed all Nigerians are waiting!!!

6. On Feb 9th, you were in Bauchi and you promised to intensify oil and gas exploration in the North-East as part of efforts to harness resources for economic development. Also you pledged to boost agriculture, power and water supply for wealth creation and revenue generation. Then you assured that projects such as the Mambilla hydro-electricity, Jada irrigation project and Kafin Zaki dam in Taraba, Adamawa and Bauchi would be pursued to boost agriculture and industrial development. Then you promised that your administration would establish two universities in the region. The NORTH EAST PEOPLE ARE WAITING,

9. You landed in Portharcourt on Feb 12 where you made alot of promises, maybe to woo your Niger Delta people. Be that as it may, you announced that the NNPC, in partnership with the private sector, would establish a petrochemical plant in the Niger Delta (you didnt state where exactly). You promised the plant will create job opportunities for the Niger Delta youths. Then you went ahead to promise the implementation of Local Content Law and Petroleum Industry Bill. In case you cant remember when you made all these, cast your mind back to the stampede that claimed some lives (where your wife called them martyrs).

10. In Kaduna- You promised massive transformation of the agricultural sector through construction of large dams and distribution of one million metric tonnes of fertilisers for the 2011 farming season (The rains are here already, so fulfil your promises o)
You also pledged to establish Almajiri model schools to address the challenges of the Almajiris.

11. In Benue-You promised to revolutionise agriculture and establish industries in the country through a five-year plan (We need that Plan now so we can keep track, the five years have started counting already)
You also promised to complete the irrigation project in Otukpo. Then you promised that the second Niger Bridge and the Benue Bridge projects will be worked on in the next four years. I think its better to start now so by April 2015, we trust you would have completed it.

12. February 17th, you were in Plateau where you made shocked the entire country with amazing promises. First of all, you pledged to refocus on the solid mineral development of the state and make it one of the key revenue sources in Nigeria. The Plateau people are banking on you.
Mr President, You promised to build more dams and complete ongoing ones, so as to boost agricultural growth.
In addtion you promised to complete the Vom-Manchok-Jos road to boost economic links between Plateau and Kaduna states. Yoy left the state and the Plateau people have been happy ever since and now that you have won, they are waiting

13. Mr President on Feb 21, you were in Kogi. You promised among other things promised that the dredging of the River Niger and Lokoja-Abuja road dualisation would be completed very soon. THE KOGI PEOPLE AND INDEED NIGERIANS ARE HOPING AND WAITING

14. In Kwara State on Feb22, you pledged that the irrigation project in Shonga would be completed soon to boost the commercial farming activities of the New Nigeria Farmers in the area. Mr president, remember you also said the Jebba-Mokwa road and Jebba bridge would be given adequate attention to ease transportation in the area. Kwarians are waiting!

15. On February 24, Mr. President, you pledged to rehabilitate ALL ailing industries in Aba. I believe all Abians are hoping on you to provide the enabling environment to do their businesses, you must keep your promises,

16. Mr.President, on Feb 25th in Anamabra you said there is a plan to build a power station in the state, assuring that within the next four years your administration would construct and rehabilitate ALL federal roads leading to Anambra as well as the South East. You equally promised to provide potable water to the densely populated Onitsha and Nnewi cities and tackle erosion in the South-East. To tell you the truth, Mr. President, Anambrians are banking on you!

17. In Ebonyi state, you promised to dualise the Enugu-Abakaliki federal highway in addition to establishing a secretariat for ALL Federal government's agencies and parastatals in Ebonyi. Mr. president, The people of Ebonyi has never had it so good since the creation of their state. Now, you have promised them the good life. Please keeep to your words!

18. In Niger state, you promised the more power generation. Perhaps the most important aspect of your promises is that your government would map out a five-year strategic plan for road projects. (Please we are waiting for the Plan NOW!!!!)

19. On Feb 27, you were in Asaba, the Delta state capital, which happens to be my state. On that fateful sunday, you revealed that “The NNPC is developing a new programme that will absorb about 5,000 youths, ”, Mr. President, Deltans are delighted at this REVELATIONS. While that number is a far cry from the number of unemployed youths in the state, at all at all na winch (as we say in Warri), so Deltans are waiting.

20. On March 2nd, you were in Ondo where you pronmised that roads and other basic infrastructure across the states will be developed in four years. In addition you also promised the exploitation of the vast bitumen deposits in the state for national economic development and employment generation. The Ondo people are waiting. Your Four years have started already. You must start now.

21. On the same day, March 2nd, your campaigbn train was in Ekiti state. While there, you promised that more than N50 billion federal intervention projects were ongoing in the state. You can be rest assured that the Fayemi and indeed the entire Ekiti kete are waiting for you.

22. On March 9th, in Sokoto, you promised to rehabilitate the abandoned Shagari irrigation project as well as reviving the nation’s rail system and figh the menace of desertification in the country. Sokoto people have sufffered for too long. This is your time to redeem your pledge, Mr President. The clock is ticking!!!

23.The date was March 12th 2011 and you were in Ogun state.
Remember, the day you rode to Abeokuta through rail?
Yes, That was the day you promised an improved power supply before the end of the year through the Integrated Power Project (IPP) initiative.
You also pledged to build more refineries, encourage downstream activities, resuscitate rail transportation and create jobs. In case you have forgotten, that was the day that Gbenga Daniel (your South West campaign coordinator was booed by the Ogun people).

24.On March 14th, your campaign trained moved to Kebbi where you promised to establish a federal university next year (2012). You also promised to create jobs through science and technology, tackle environmental challenges and boost health care delivery.

25.Katsina, was your port of call on March 15 where you promised to enhance the living standard of Nigerians through implementation of people-oriented programmes that would provide citizens the necessary opportunities to realise their potentials.
In my opinion, this was just mere rhetorics as you did not make any concrete promises. or did you have the premonition, you will lose in Katsina? I might just be right.

26.In Kano, you pledged to resuscitate the nation’s power sector and encourage the development of small and medium scale enterprises in the country while ensuring justice, equity and fair play in the polity.

Mr.President, Space will not allow me to list the deluge of promises in Lagos, Osun, Borno, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Enugu, Imo, Taraba, Jigawa, Edo, Bayelsa and Zamfara states. If you can accomplish all your promises in the next four years, then you will go down memory lane as the best President ever. In all honesty, I wish you GoodLuck!!!

Time will tell!!!

Sunday 24th April Service - The power resurrection

2011-04-24T03:20:00.001-07:00

John 11:25
...and Jesus said, I am the resurrection and life

Looking at the resurrection power as delivery from negativity ..weakness , defeated... But also we look at it in the contest of a living conscious upright man..

So when christ met the woman at the well, he told her that after drinking from his water she will never thirst again... This in total contrast to the notion that in order to experience the resurrection power of jesus it is not necessarily of going into a negative or defeated or dead state for you to experience power of christ even within the contest of his resurrection. It is more of going from glory to glory. Take the case of Enoch, who walked with God and never experienced death.

So our case does not need to be in the case of David as stated in. Ps 40, brought out life out of marryl clay

Basically Jesus resurrection is more of moving from one level of life to another level.

For us to avoid infamity I.e sickness spiritually. Physically etc, you need to be on the move. When you have the word of God, do it otherwise you may not have the same cycle of opportunity until 10years again.

Note anything that is stagnant only become entropic, rusty and die

Note the verses 9-10. It is about waiting to have light from the inside in order not to stumble. Even christ in his mightiness waited for two days not hasting to heal Lazarus, who may have been used by the enemy to lure in Jesus to be killed. . Note
Ecc 8:1... Who is a wise man?
So you say, as I conform to this, let the son of God be glorified.

So there is a process and protocols to doing it..so discuss the matter with God to have interpretation, process and protocol.

The Measurement of Regional Cerebral Blood Flow During Glossolalia: A Preliminary SPECT Study (Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging)

The passionate, sometimes rhythmic, language-like patter that pours forth from religious people who “speak in tongues” reflects a state of mental possession, many of them say. Now they have some neuroscience to back them up.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania took brain images of five women while they spoke in tongues and found that their frontal lobes — the thinking, willful part of the brain through which people control what they do — were relatively quiet, as were the language centers. The regions involved in maintaining self-consciousness were active. The women were not in blind trances, and it was unclear which region was driving the behavior.

The images, appearing in the current issue of the journal Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, pinpoint the most active areas of the brain. The images are the first of their kind taken during this spoken religious practice, which has roots in the Old and New Testaments and in Pentecostal churches established in the early 1900s. The women in the study were healthy, active churchgoers.

“The amazing thing was how the images supported people’s interpretation of what was happening,” said Dr. Andrew B. Newberg, leader of the study team, which included Donna Morgan, Nancy Wintering and Mark Waldman. “The way they describe it, and what they believe, is that God is talking through them,” he said.

Dr. Newberg is also a co-author of “Why We Believe What We Believe.”

In the study, the researchers used imaging techniques to track changes in blood flow in each woman’s brain in two conditions, once as she sang a gospel song and again while speaking in tongues. By comparing the patterns created by these two emotional, devotional activities, the researchers could pinpoint blood-flow peaks and valleys unique to speaking in tongues.

Ms. Morgan, a co-author of the study, was also a research subject. She is a born-again Christian who says she considers the ability to speak in tongues a gift. “You’re aware of your surroundings,” she said. “You’re not really out of control. But you have no control over what’s happening. You’re just flowing. You’re in a realm of peace and comfort, and it’s a fantastic feeling.”

Contrary to what may be a common perception, studies suggest that people who speak in tongues rarely suffer from mental problems. A recent study of nearly 1,000 evangelical Christians in England found that those who engaged in the practice were more emotionally stable than those who did not. Researchers have identified at least two forms of the practice, one ecstatic and frenzied, the other subdued and nearly silent.

The new findings contrasted sharply with images taken of other spiritually inspired mental states like meditation, which is often a highly focused mental exercise, activating the frontal lobes.

The scans also showed a dip in the activity of a region called the left caudate. “The findings from the frontal lobes are very clear, and make sense, but the caudate is usually active when you have positive affect, pleasure, positive emotions,” said Dr. James A. Coan, a psychologist at the University of Virginia. “So it’s not so clear what that finding says” about speaking in tongues.

The caudate area is also involved in motor and emotional control, Dr. Newberg said, so it may be that practitioners, while mindful of their circumstances, nonetheless cede some control over their bodies and emotions.

Joyce, a local mom of three, is the perfect example of a smart consumer using the web to get quality products without breaking the bank. Overwhelmed by her hectic life, she had given up on spending time on herself and her needs.

Determined to make a change for the better, she recently discovered a clever way of combining two low cost beauty product trials to get the job done. The products from Sobe Labs & Hydroxatone , two of the most respected names in anti-aging science, have helped her unlock the secrets of anti-aging.

The age defying results speak for themselves and are comparable to what you might get at high end Health Spas and Doctor's offices for $2000 or more - all while using nothing but free trial offers.

Wanting to help others, Joyce decided to share her story with us by writing in (see below). This trick has not only zapped her wrinkles, but also tightened her neck and face fast. The results have been life changing. And since many of us would do anything to get rid of some of the "mileage" on our skin, we're featuring the secret behind her "low cost wrinkle killer".

The Shocking Cost of Cosmetic Doctors

Like most moms making ends meet with an average salary, there isn't much extra cash to try every celebrity endorsed Anti-Aging miracle cream out there - let alone splurge on expensive medical procedures. At one time she did considered taking out loans for Botox injections and even gave some serious thought to getting a facelift.

But, after reading some of the horror stories (and finding out health insurance doesn't cover them), she quickly went looking for better alternatives. What became most important was to find a safe and affordable solution that would give spectacular results but not put her into deep debt.

Though we receive countless submissions from readers everywhere, Joyce's incredible results were simply too impressive to keep hidden. Especially when we know there are thousands of others who could use an "anti-aging time machine" of their own.

Joyce's Letter:

"I have to admit I do tend to jump on the bandwagon and I have tried countless skin anti-aging/wrinkle creams such as Oil of Olay, Neutrogena and many more to help me look young again. Unfortunately, the results were never as good as I wanted them to be. Until, one day after watching the news and doing some careful research, I stumbled upon a way to make my wrinkles soften and lighten by using two very powerful products: Sobe Labs & Hydroxatone.

Joyce's skin care problems began in her thirties and were a result of harmful UVA & UVB exposure from years of exposure to indirect sunlight and time spent tanning. As science has shown, this is the main cause of premature aging, skin damage and wrinkles.

Things got worse after she got a job as a waitress. Have to work long shifts late at night, she became dependent on coffee and cigarettes to stay on top of things. Joyce started developing dark circles around her eyes which also became baggy with time. After she gave birth to her children, she constantly thought that she looked much older than she felt. Before she knew it, the kids were in high school and she seemed to look more aged each and every morning when she looked in the mirror.

Every month more and more lines and wrinkles appeared on her face. Gravity seemed to be pulling her chin downward and wouldn't let go. Even her mom became concerned and told Joyce she looked extremely tired and worn out. That was the moment Joyce realized it was time to stop wasting her time and money with useless products from the local drug store and do something about it.

To make matters even worse, being worn out all the time and looking tired had her worrying about her job. "The recession has really made me nervous about job security" she said. "After reading a story on Fox News about how older looking people were 50% less like to be hired, I really had to do something, and fast".

Like many people wanting to look younger, her first thoughts were about Botox and or even a facelift to deliver the results that she was desperate to find. Looking back on it now, she's glad that she didn't continue down that path. "Who in their right mind wants to inject themselves with chemicals or go under the knife just to look a few years younger?" she said.

The Solution: A Low Cost Dynamic Duo

Luckily a longtime friend talked Joyce out of plastic surgery and told her about a skin rejuvenation story she had seen on the news. The story focused on the sensational skin firming effects of Polymoist-PS Complex.

Polymoist-PS Complex had been featured in numerous publications which gave further credibility to what was reported on television. Naturally, Joyce started her own research for products which used Polymoist-PS Complex as a main ingredient.

In that research, she discovered celebrities had been using Polymoist-PS Complex for years to stay and look young. A prominent celebrity skin care doctor also revealed that most of her clients used a combination of wrinkle products since many formulas simply aren't strong enough. The most popular combination to date was using both Sobe Labs and Hydroxatone. The secret behind the success is a combination of Polymoist-PS Complex, powerful antioxidants, vitamins, moisturizers and collagen support compounds.

Working together, these two products achieve amazing results. While Radiablabs rejuvenated the skin with collagen production, the additional ingredients in Hydroxatone would help repair damage from the inside out. There are no antioxidants more powerful than the those found in Sobe Labs. Antioxidants are essential to help us neutralize free radicals which destroy the support structures of the skin. This causes the skin to sag and crease in the form of wrinkles.

After a few days of extensive research and comparing product features, prices, and reviews of popular products on the internet, Joyce had finally managed to find the winning combination: Sobe Labs (which had been featured on the initial newscast) and Hydroxatone (who she later found out had just shipped their millionth jar!).

She began to look for the products in retail stores but couldn't find them anywhere. Turns out that these products were only available online (one of the reasons that they’ve been kept secret for so long). After searching thru Google, Joyce not only tracked them down but also uncovered links to try both Sobe Labs and Hydroxatone for only the cost of shipping.

Great Results from a FREE TRIAL and NO surgery? Seeing Is Believing...

"Based on my research, I knew Sobe Labs and Hydroxatone would deliver incredible results and the fact that I got them for such a low, low price was the icing on top. I never would have thought that something that was this easy on the wallet could ever yield a better result than even the most expensive anti-aging solutions.

"Why are they offering these low cost trials?" We wanted to know too. Turns out it's because they stand behind their products and want people to try it first and see the results for themselves! The companies who manufacture these products are so confident that people will see visible results within a few weeks, they know the trial results will keep their customers coming back again and again.

Joyce started to notice several changes within weeks. The “After" photo above on the right was taken around the third week after she started using Sobe Labs and Hydroxatone regularly. She used both Sobe Labs and Hydroxatone only once a day in the morning.

Her wrinkles are smoothed out, her eye lines have faded and her skin glows. Her skin continues to become more and more firm. In addition to her renewed radiant skin, Joyce experienced a significant increase in energy due to the antioxidant benefits of Polymoist-PS Complex.

Now with her younger looking, radiant skin, Joyce has more confidence than ever and people definitely say she looks much younger and has a youthful energy.

Seeing how much it had changed her daughter’s life, Joyce's mom began her own regimen shortly after she ordered the products for herself.

How To Get Your Hands On This Low Cost Wrinkle Killer

#7: Adopt 1 hour active cycle followed by 1 hour resting cycle (54! non-drug ways to lower blood pressure)

Written by: collin_carbno | Posted: Mar 16 2010

#7. Adopt 1 Hour Active Cycle Followed by 1 Hour Resting Cycle

Number 6 in my blood pressure lowering list, extolled the virtues of interval training. In it, I recommended the one-minute, do it as hard as you can type of effort, followed by a minute of recovery, followed by another minute of exercise and so on.

“A 2005 study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that after just two weeks of interval training, six of the eight college-age men and women doubled their endurance, or the amount of time they could ride a bicycle at moderate intensity before exhaustion.”

Now that’s impressive. I’ve found that when I do interval training, it also holds for me. I can roughly double my endurance in a month … whatever the task you put yourself to doing.

In this tip, I recommend a change of life style, in which we purposely start structuring our day around the go-hard, take-it-easy paradigm in one hour intervals. The concept is that you might do an hour of hard vacuuming around the house, going vigorously, and then take an hour to do some nice novel reading. Followed by hour of meal preparation - running up and down stairs to get things, and so on. Or you go out and shovel some snow for an hour (don’t over-do it), and then come in to have nice hot chocolate and read the mail. I do a lot of computer work, and even at work, I’m starting to think in terms of hour activity intervals. One of the methodologies that I promote is Agile. Agile software development talks about rhythm. It has been shown that if you go hard for a few days (a sprint) and then slow down, it is actually more productive. Teams that work in this way, get more done. It also holds within a day. If you go hard for an hour, then take a more reflective attitude, your productivity goes up.

This reminds me of the mathematical idea of fractals. You can think of the hour of activity also as being structured in 10 minute intervals. 10 minutes in which we work harder, and 10 minutes of more relaxed effort but still working). And then you can break the 10 minutes itself down into 1 minute of going all out, and 1 minute of taking a bit of break.You can also go up, and start thinking in terms of days, one day on, one day off, and then even in terms of weeks: one-week harder, one week softer. I think that a month interval is way to long, but an occasional week when you rest a bit more than usual isn’t the end of the world. It is a time to rest up muscles, let some natural healing occur. Since I walk to work, I’ve worried when I’m on vacation for 3 weeks if I will still be able to handle the 1.5 hours of walking to work. In an effort to keep my conditioning up, I find that vacation time is perfect for more intense interval training. Go for that vigorous sightseeing tour. Go for an hour run, and during the hour, pour it on for a minute and then take a minute off. I find that even two days a week is enough to maintain conditioning.

In my IT (Information Technology) world, after one hour on the computer, then, it is time for a walk - to talk to someone, take that bathroom break, go to the mail room, print something and go get the copy. The point is to get the body moving. It has the (positive) side benefits of stopping the pooling of blood in the legs, in getting deeper breathing going, and generally helps rev up the metabolism. If nothing else, I pull out a couple of big books and do one minute step up, step down, as fast as I can, to drive up my heart rate.

The combination of high activity and rest, apparently kicks down blood pressure, exercise increases thermal burn (and fat burn), and releases blood pressure lowering hormones.
I’ve also experimented with the stretch bands, and I find they lower stress. If I find myself getting stressed about work, to take a 2 minute break and really vigorously work the stress band, kicks up the heart rate, gets the body limbered up, and starts to help relax some of that latent tension.

See NY Times article: A Healthy Mix of Rest and Motion

At one point, when I really wanted to get blood pressure down, I did Resperate for 10 minutes (take blood pressure) and then get up and do 10 minutes of interval training, do Resperate for 10 minutes (take blood pressure again) and keep that up for an hour. In almost every case, at the end of the hour, my blood pressure would be 40/20 lower than at the start.

Remember, you don’t have to exercise for 3 hours a day– 3 intervals of 10 minute interval training will likely provide more benefit.

#6: 15 minutes of interval training per day (54! non-drug ways to lower blood pressure)

Written by: collin_carbno | Posted: Mar 02 2010

#6. 15 Minutes of Interval Training per Day
( 1 minute on — 1 minute off)

The idea in interval training is that you do a period of intense activity followed by an equal period or so of “off” activity. I like the one-minute on and then a minute off technique. Apparently when we have high bursts of energy output like this, we trigger the body to start burning fat. The body knows that burning fat is another way to get even higher energy levels into the body. Studies show that interval training is a great conditioner. The point isn’t to drive yourself to exhaustion or to totally stress yourself out, but to just get your heart and lung rates up enough to get you out of breath. If you’re getting up in years, it might not take much; a 100 yard dash, 30 seconds of quick sit-ups, or whatever raises your heart rate. The resting period is also important– it gives your body a chance to recover, lowers your heart rate, body temperature and so on. A younger stronger person, might be able to go solid for 5 minutes on, 5 minutes off, and really high level athletes might do interval training with15 minutes on, 15 minutes off.

See New York Times article: A Healthy Mix of Rest and Motion

Personally, I’ve found the one minute period the best. It’s easy to look at your watch and to follow the one minute. I tried going 2 and 3 minutes but it just tires me so much, that I don’t recover for the next interval. All the time for that one-minute you should try to go at it fairly gung-ho. Speaking of gung-ho, gung-ho means working together. If you can find a partner to do some interval training, it is a great way to be gung-ho together.

Interval Training for Weight Loss

Interval training like any exercise can be dangerous; you can stress your body and have a heart attack or a stroke. When in doubt talk to your doctor, and like any new exercise, take it real easy for the first few days and work up. While exercise might trigger a stroke, keeping in shape is a great way to prevent these nasty outcomes. Remember to start easy,don’t overdo it and work up to higher levels.

The benefit of interval training is that one pushes the body to higher level, and even brief moments at these higher demand levels creates physiological changes. Another way to think about interval training is that you get twice the benefit for half the effort! That’s right, if you work hard out for one minute, rest a minute and work again, and rest again, then for 2 minutes of exercise, you are getting 4 minutes of benefit. Actually, you are getting even more. Studies have shown that after a brief intense interval workout, effects like higher metabolism can linger for up to 24 hours!

“After three months, they found that the exercisers who did interval aerobic training three times a week showed greater improvements in blood pressure and oxygen carrying capacity compared to the continuous aerobic exercise group.”

More about the study

The beauty of this exercise program is that you don’t need a lot of time. A 4 minute workout isn’t that hard to find. You simply start doing something strenuous for a minute. You could be doing steps (on a stair, or a stool), or you could run down the street fairly fast. Or you can start lifting weights (not too heavy) fairly vigorously for a minute.
If you are just starting, you can do something as simple as running on the spot.
If the activity you try is too hard for you, there’s nothing wrong with doing it for 30 seconds or shorter as you work up your conditioning — until you can handle the full 60 seconds.

Some studies have shown improved regulation of blood glucose and insulin from interval training. In short, interval training is a wonder. Interval training can be 30 minutes of activity twice a week, or 10 minutes a day. It doesn’t seem to matter. I find that doing 15 minute a day is a nice number - easy to handle … but I often do less. In fact, writing up about this, I realize, I’ve let my program slip… I’m going to start again on interval training.

Study results

Do you live in a hilly neighbourhood? Run up a hill … it works wonders. A nice way to get your heart rate up quickly.

Just one last thing. Nothing motivates us like being able to see some progress. Start with the one-minute on, one-minute off, and see how many cycles you can last. Try to add another cycle each week. Or alternatively, try timing yourself for 50 of the items (50 steps, 50 yards, whatever). Here is another reason for doing it every day: You can see your progress, from day to day, from week to week. I did weight lifting in interval training for 10 pound weights. When I started, 5 repetitions was all I could handle, and after just 2 weeks, I was handling I was up to 30 repetitions. This interval stuff works.

It’s a good idea to take a couple of days off; Sunday and Monday seem like good days to me. The first day back at work, can be exhausting, so sometimes it nice to rest up a bit. Traditionally Sunday is a day of rest for many, or you could choose Saturday, and that be can be your Sabbath day. That said, any two days probably work.

#5: Reduce to a healthy body weight (54! non-drug ways to lower blood pressure)

Written by: collin_carbno | Posted: Feb 10 2010

#5. Reduce to a Healthy Body Weight

Control your weight through better eating, more exercise, and smaller portions.

“Paul D. Sorlie, Ph.D and colleagues, authors of the study, from the U.S. National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute said the ever-increasing rate of Americans with high blood pressure may be related to the obesity epidemic and suggested that more prevention effort needs to be invested in preventing obesity.” Click here for more info on the study.

I was one of those teenagers that could eat anything and any amount and never change my weight by an ounce. I was 125 pounds when I was married at age 26, skinny as a rail and ate 3 times as much as a “normal” person. I was also very active, with badminton, swimming, tennis and running. I thought nothing of packing on 4000 calories in a day, and had ample helpings of ice cream, cookies, and whatever I desired. I never thought about weight until I was turning 40 and discovered I had crept up to 140 pounds.

By the time I was 46 years old I was pushing 200 pounds. 200 pounds was clearly way too heavy, and I needed to do something. So, I’ve tried various strategies to manage weight control. Walking to and from work as I mentioned in an earlier blog was the best single thing I found helped to reduce weight more than anything. For the last 10 years, I’ve been monitoring my weight on and off, and I’ve noticed a strong seasonal effect. I lose weight from about February to September, and gain weight from September through to the end of January. The only problem with this pattern is that it seems I gain more in the 5 winter months than I lose in the 7 other months of the year. So, my recent goal is to control that peaking each winter, and to drive my summer values lower.

Obesity and the problem of weight in our society is currently a matter of great debate and research. Medical science is starting to unravel the weight control processes in the body, but they still have a long way to go to completely understand it all. Meanwhile, there are all kinds of diets and dieting products, and literally thousands of books on the subject. I’ve read a couple of hundred of those books, and I’ve learned an enormous lot about how the human body works. Generally when we eat food, the body processes it into a sugar type compound with water and stores it in the liver. A typical adult can store a whole day’s worth of activity in their liver in this manner. Because your liver needs water to store this sugar compound, a glass of water with a meal is actually a great idea. If you had a really full meal and filled up, so to speak, your primary energy tank, this amount of stored energy can hold you for a whole day’s worth of activity. Generally, folks burn about 100 calories an hour during the day, and 50 calories an hour during sleep, for roughly 1600 Calories and 400 Calories a day, respectfully. (Just a word of note: a food Calorie is actually 1000 physics calories.) Obviously, there are many factors here controlling these numbers including body size, activity level, body shape, the temperature of the environment, metabolic condition, and our genetic inheritance.

Assuming you didn’t eat again, when your primary tank starts to get below 500 calories, most persons start to become interested in food. When it drops to below 200 calories serious hungry feelings normally kick in. Assuming for some reason you don’t eat in this state, we know you don’t just collapse in 2 hours, so where does the new energy come from? It turns out that we have various kinds of fat cells in our body, and through a complex chemical signal process, those fat cells can be coaxed to release fat into the blood stream. The liver picks this up this fat, and converts it into sugars to supply your body.

You may have read in books about the danger of hypothermia when being lost in the wilderness. Hypothermia occurs when more heat is lost than the body can generate. While our primary energy tank in the liver can turn out energy at rates up 400 calories an hour or more, (Olympic athletes can easily top 1000 calories an hour), it turns out that our fat conversion engines aren’t as powerful, and we have trouble producing even 100 calories an hour from fat reserves, and 50 calories an hour might be reasonable value for an out-of-shape person. It also seems that fat conversion engines take a while to get really going. All this means that if you are lost in the woods you don’t want to run around, get cold, and burn out your primary energy tank too rapidly. If your primary energy tank goes to zero you die.

The fat burning energy normally releases sugar straight into the blood stream, but it can also be captured and stored by the liver. Indeed, when our primary energy tank is low, the body will try to store whatever “free energy” is floating around into this primary energy tank. Now, in cases of an extreme energy shortage, the body has still another way to free up more immediate energy reserves. It will start to burn muscle. One problem with starvation diets is that even though your body is burning fat as fast as it can, this may not be fast enough to supply your energy needs, so besides making you cranky, listless, and irritable, being this short of energy triggers muscle burning.

The body can convert muscle into energy fairly rapidly. This muscle burning produces a pile of chemicals in the body and besides being hard on your kidneys, will cause you to literally waste away. Without muscle, you start sagging all over, hardly the way to win a beauty contest. Muscle of course is your strength, and it turns out that muscle is one of our primary energy burners, so once one loses muscle mass, the daily energy requirements drop. This condition is one problem with yo-yo dieting, each cycle of dieting reduces your muscle mass, and causes your body to burn even less calories. Returning to a more normal calorie intake, the body naturally replaces the muscle, and the dieter puts back on all the weight they just lost. Here is one benefit of weight and strength exercises is that they increase muscle mass, and therefore are helpful in that they allow you to eat a little more without putting on weight.

It turns out that our bodies are incredibly fine-tuned machines. When operating properly, we regulate energy intake and energy burning to maintain an amazingly consistent weight for decades at a time. However, this complex metabolic process can easily become damaged either through stress, injury, disease, viruses, infections, in-activity, poor diet, and genetic processes including aging. Suppose that the energy store function becomes damaged so that the body consistently puts out even a small signal to store fat, then the body will take a few calories every day and store it as fat. Even 10 calories a day would add up to a pound a year, and in 30 years you have a weight problem. Furthermore, it seems that the more fat you have, the more the body puts out signals to store fat. So, once you become fat, it becomes extremely difficult to get that fat to burn off and stay off.

To get your body to do more fat burning, it’s actually a good idea to encourage the body to encourage some fat burning. This means getting hungry for a couple of hours per day. When you come to a meal you should feel hungry, and when you leave the meal you should feel satisfied but not stuffed. When we overeat, we fill our primary energy storage to the top, so that the extra food is stored as fat. This means of course that we get hungry just as fast as we did on a smaller meal, and repeating this process daily adds up to huge weight gain.

I don’t believe in dieting per say, whatever you do, you have to adopt it as a from now on life style. So, when you want to lose weight, don’t stop eating, you want to keep eating. In fact, eat enough so that most of the time you don’t feel hungry, but eat a little less so that by meal times you have a good appetite. It’s also helpful if you learn to listen to your body; don’t eat when you aren’t hungry, don’t pig out when you are satisfied.

What is causing today’s obesity problem? I suspect that it is a combination of factors, starting with too little daily exercise and activity. You don’t get thin, sitting in front of a computer or TV for 10 hours a day. The second big factor is improper foods. Our high calorie, low nutrition foods are a killer. Suppose your body is short of a particular vitamin, say vitamin C. It’s highly likely that the body knows that it can only get vitamin C from food, so it turns on your hunger. You eat more. Instead of eating fruit to get the vitamin C you need, perhaps you pig out on potato chips or pizza. The body gets lots of energy but not the vitamin C it needs. Conversely, if we eat higher quality foods, it stands to reason that we don’t need to eat as much food to get the requirements for minerals and vitamins our body needs. Also, the ingredients in high quality food helps our body run better, and we regulate our own weight better. I suspect that stress, pollution, toxins and the like in our environment aren’t doing our metabolic engines any good. If you put dirt in your car’s gas tank, the car engine won’t run as well, and similar things happen in the human body, when we ingest toxins, chemicals, and various drugs.

I mentioned earlier that stopping eating is generally a terrible method of weight control. Starvation does considerable damage to our bodies. However, a short 24 hour fast, once a week appears from research to be a helpful thing. In such a fast, the primary energy reserves in the liver get taken down to a lower level and the body is encouraged to fire up the fat burning processes. An analogy is that when you take your car out on the highway and get the engine really burning hot, it kind of burns the crud out of the system. Similarly, these short, 12 to 24 hour fasts, get the body burning some fat. When you get hungry for a couple of hours before a meal, it is also a kind of mini-fast. Most of us can handle a 12 hour fast, the only danger being that when we do decide to eat, we over-eat, and gorge out. The way to avoid this is that when you start to get really hungry eat about 200 calories. This burst of calories will supply your body for 2 hours but is also low enough that your body will continue to burn fat. So, I suggest if you are thinking of a 24 hour fast, start eating some food around 12 hours, and by the time you to reach 24 hours you should be again eating a normal calorie intake. The secret here is to eat smaller portions every hour during the fast time.

#4: Increase potassium (54! non-drug ways to lower blood pressure)

Written by: collin_carbno | Posted: Jan 28 2010

#4. Increase Potassium (more banana, potatoes, fruits)

I suggest at least 2 bananas a day, at least 1 potato, and at least one other fruit ( apple, or orange). Vegetables are even more important than fruit from a nutritional point of view.

I know that some folks are hard on potatoes – thinking that people should cut them out of their diets. Some argue that potatoes can raise insulin levels and are relatively high in calories. However, I think that one must also consider the benefits of a food. On the plus side, potatoes contain important vitamins and minerals, and are an excellent source of potassium. Potassium is known to be important in the regulation of blood pressure. I happen to love potatoes, and I’ve tried to reach a compromise– instead of eating 4 or 5 potatoes at a meal I like to hold myself now to one or two medium sized potatoes (the size of one’s fist). A further advantage is that potatoes are relatively cheap, and compared to bread, I think that potatoes are a healthier choice. (I still eat bread too — but I also limit it to reasonable amounts). A potato is about 100 calories which is similar to a slice of bread. Calorie for calorie, I think that potato wins over bread.

#3: Walk! (54! non-drug ways to lower blood pressure)

Written by: collin_carbno | Posted: Jan 21 2010

#3. Walk daily for at least 30 minutes

About 15 years ago, I made a really wise choice. I use to take the bus to work everyday. I live about a 45 minute walk from work. So, it’s about 3 miles or 5 km. I thought for a long time, that this was just too far to walk. Our Saskatchewan (Canada) weather varies from-40C to +40C (-40 F to 104 F) so it can be challenge. My brother in law who is 10 years younger than me was walking to work, and although his walk was 20 minutes shorter, he kept encouraging me to try.

My weight was edging up and in desperation I thought I needed to do something. I decided to start walking home. I remember the first day I did it: I walked really slowly, and it took me over an hour and 15 minutes. When I got home I was so hot and tired, I had to lay down for 20 minutes to recover. I had this enormous thermal burn feeling, much like I remembered experiencing in my 20s when I played sports hard for a couple of hours.

For a month, I kept at it, walking home from work each day. I was often tempted by the bus, but I continued to keep at it, walking the distance. Then, we had a bus strike. I really had no other way to get to work, so I decided if I could walk home, I might as well also walk to work. So, I started to walk to work. The strike ended, and I continued to walk both ways.

Now 10+ years later, I don’t experience the thermal burn and think nothing of walking both ways. I even try running it in nice weather, and have done the distance in 30 minutes. It has becomea special time for me; to watch nature, trees, and to think about life. I happened to be blessed in that about half of my walk goes through a bird sanctuary, with a nice lake. I’ve been blessed with arctic terns, muskrats, squirrels, gulls, geese, cornets and rabbits. In winter, when it becomes pitch black, I’m often walking in almost total darkness, and it’s fun to see the rabbits that scamper along in the park.

Many days, I decide on courses of action on the way to work. My walks have become a time that I put my mind to different problems that are facing me, and a time to talk to myself, and to strategize new ideas.

The impact on my health was amazing. First, I dropped 30 pounds in weight, from 180 pounds to 150 pounds. Then, my legs really hardened up with nice solid muscles. I felt so much better. I now really miss the walk, if for some reason I can’t do it.

I still take the bus if the temperature goes above 37C (98 F) or if drops below -37C (-34 F). I also won’t walk in thunderstorms with lighting. Over the course of the year, there are usually just 5 or 6 days that I end up taking the bus one way or the other.

I have noticed that half an hour after a vigorous walk of 45 minutes,my blood pressure usually drops 5 or so points. Of course, it is only a temporary drop, but studies seem to indicate that walking is an excellent endeavor.

#2: Lower your salt intake (54! non-drug ways to lower blood pressure)

Written by: collin_carbno | Posted: Aug 28 2009

#2. Lower Your Salt Intake

Get your salt (sodium) intake down below 1000 mg per day. (The actual number seems to be somewhat in debate– 1000 mg might be too low, and different individuals may need to hit different values to have an effect). My point here is mostly to cut down on your salt. Most prepared foods have some salt, so you have to be careful when trying to add up the amounts – it’s easy to miss substantial amounts of salt. Of course, the body has a need for salt, so I wouldn’t suggest that anyone go on an ultra low salt diet. Be warned that many types of bread have 100 mg per slice, some cheeses have 400 mg of salt or more per slice, and some canned goods contain up to 95 0mg per tin.

Salt has been a somewhat controversial issue — is it the salt itself or is it other ingredients in the salty foods associated with higher blood pressure? Many highly processed foods have a high salt content and low nutritional value. So, perhaps it isn’t the salt reduction itself, maybe the nutritional improvement from substituting other healthier foods is what makes the difference. Nevertheless, there is a theory that excess salt damages the cardiovascular system over time. Studies show that in about half of the cases of hypertension, the reduction of salt in the diet proved to be helpful. The elderly and African Americans are the most likely to benefit from restricted salt intake.

My personal observation is that ingesting a high dosage of salt (2000 mg+ per day), if I have several back-to-back meals that are loaded with salt, my blood pressure will rise 20/20 points and stay up for 3 days. On the other hand, if I get my salt down to a more reasonable level, I haven’t found any improvement from dropping it further. I do feel that salt is somehow hard on the body and it probably does put stress on the cardiovascular system. It seems from reading the medical literature that if you follow a low salt diet for extended periods of time, like years, that there is a kind of accumulative health benefit. Again, the bulk of the benefit may come from the fact that low salt foods tend to be healthier as a whole, rather than the negative impact of the salt itself. My personal thought is that both effects are operating, salt itself is harmful in some way, and the healthy food - less processed, less chemicals of low salt food, also improves overall health.

#1: Use RESPeRATE (54! non-drug ways to lower blood pressure)

Written by: collin_carbno | Posted: Jun 20 2009

#1. Use RESPeRATE (Rr)

My impression from the studies is that the majority of folks (more than half) get a positive response from using RESPeRATE. That aside, it’s highly possible that there are folks that do not get any benefit from using the Rr. The most likely cause in these cases is that they have some cause not effectively managed by Rr and not that they are incorrectly using the machine. Still, when I first started using the machine, I didn’t notice any benefit for the first 3 weeks. I took my blood pressure before and after each session, and sometimes BP went down, sometimes it went up, and sometimes it stayed the same, but an hour later my blood pressure seemed unchanged.

Sometime in the 3rd week, however, I began to relax and I didn’t try to perfect the process. I simply began to relax, enjoy it, and I didn’t worry so much about keeping in perfect time with the machine. Presto — after each session my blood pressure dropped sharply. Then, when I had high blood pressure, I would do a session and drop the blood pressure. If it still wasn’t down enough I’d do another session, and drop it a bit more, and if I had time, I’d even do a third session and drop it further. This gave me a kind of positive feedback loop. I began to feel that I could do something to control my blood pressure value. I then started to notice that my readings an hour later were lower, and over the next few weeks began to see my daily readings dropping. Currently, I try to do one 10 minute session per day. On holidays, and weekends, I try to get in two sessions.

What is the connection between stress, salt and hypertension?

Written by: bgavish | Posted: Jun 16 2009

Stress has a greater effect on the blood pressure of people whose blood pressure is sensitive to salt intake.

Mental stress has become an inseparable part of the competitive lifestyle of our modern society that relies on technology rather than physical exercise, and has a deleterious effect on our cardiovascular system.

Some people display elevated blood pressure when consuming more salt (containing sodium). This genetically-inherited “salt-sensitivity” was found to cause greater blood pressure elevation in response to mental stress, even in people with normal blood pressure, suggesting that stress reduction is of special significance in this population.

RESPeRATE — How it all began

Written by: jchodirker | Posted: Jun 15 2009

In the late 1980’s, Dr. Benjamin Gavish (”Beny”), a biophysicist (and part-time ballroom dance teacher) began researching a biological phenomenon known as vasomotion - the slow and rhythmic oscillation of small blood vessels within the body, which is of vital importance. While research had shown that vasomotion was reduced in those with vascular diseases, Beny was also intrigued by the fact that vasomotion was altered when a person smoked a cigarette or told a lie and he became interested in how vasomotion was affected by stress levels. It was this curiosity that led him to develop a technique to better study vasomotion quantitatively. Two bigger questions began to dawn on him: Could one amplify the blood vessels’ vasomotion in a controlled manner? And if so, would such a change be beneficial to health?

Little did Beny know that his breakthrough would come when his wife, Dr. Leah Gavish (biologist and part-time dance teacher), was complaining of a headache. She happened to visit him at the lab while he was in the middle of a vasomotion experiment. On a whim, he mounted sensors on her fingers and observed that she was experiencing a normal vasomotion rhythm of 6-per-minute. Thinking back to his dancing hobby, Beny recalled people’s natural tendency to follow musical rhythms. He turned on a sound synthesizer that could create tones based on a selected rhythm and played a pattern for Leah. What happened next was amazing. Her breathing pattern “locked” on the sound pattern for 10 minutes and her vasomotion increased considerably. Beny’s visualization of the “blood vessel dance” which he had just created was interrupted by Leah announcing that her headache was gone!

This was only the beginning…
Dr. Gavish began experimenting with guided breathing in a gym in Jerusalem. With the help of a gifted group of experts in digital music, he was able to measure people’s response to changes in a musical rhythm. Beny and Leah tested the ability to guide people’s breathing from a normal rate to as-slow-as-possible-but-still-comfortable levels using enjoyable sound patterns.

The results of the experiments were striking! People who listened to the changing rhythm displayed blood pressure reductions within ten minutes accompanied by frequent sensations of “floating,” “weightlessness,” and “deep relaxation.” Those that attempted to relax simply by listening to pre-recorded, commercial music did not show the same results.

Having faith that he was onto a major finding, Beny set up a “garage-operation” and began to develop the first prototype of what would later become RESPeRATE, a completely unique device. This non-drug solution is now clinically validated by 10 published clinical trials, has received regulatory clearance in major markets around the world, and is currently in use by over 100,000 people. It is safely and effectively lowering their blood pressure through device-guided breathing.

54! non-drug ways to lower blood pressure

Written by: collin_carbno | Posted: May 29 2009

I currently have a list of 54 different suggestions (non-drug) to lower blood pressure. As part of this blog, I want to work my way through the list and give you my impressions and thoughts on this list. My list was composed roughly in the order that I found them. Many of these points have the potential, on average, to lower blood pressure by 2 to 5 points. My idea here is that although each one might have a small effect, combinations of 7 or more of them may allow for substantial reductions in blood pressure. I tried to include only items on the list for which at least one scientific study has found evidence of an improvement in blood pressure. The advantage of having many suggested possibilities to lower blood pressure is that it provides variety in the approach. If one set of possibilities doesn’t work, you can try others.

I once read that a medical researcher suspected that there were up to about 20 different causes of high blood pressure. If so, then it isn’t surprising that some drugs and some treatments don’t work for all folks.

Each non-drug way to lower blood presure will be posted individually — so keep tuned!

#6: 15 minutes of interval training per day (54! non-drug ways to lower blood pressure)

#6: 15 minutes of interval training per day (54! non-drug ways to lower blood pressure)
Written by: collin_carbno | Posted: Mar 02 2010

#6. 15 Minutes of Interval Training per Day
( 1 minute on — 1 minute off)
The idea in interval training is that you do a period of intense activity followed by an equal period or so of “off” activity. I like the one-minute on and then a minute off technique. Apparently when we have high bursts of energy output like this, we trigger the body to start burning fat. The body knows that burning fat is another way to get even higher energy levels into the body. Studies show that interval training is a great conditioner. The point isn’t to drive yourself to exhaustion or to totally stress yourself out, but to just get your heart and lung rates up enough to get you out of breath. If you’re getting up in years, it might not take much; a 100 yard dash, 30 seconds of quick sit-ups, or whatever raises your heart rate. The resting period is also important– it gives your body a chance to recover, lowers your heart rate, body temperature and so on. A younger stronger person, might be able to go solid for 5 minutes on, 5 minutes off, and really high level athletes might do interval training with15 minutes on, 15 minutes off.
See New York Times article: A Healthy Mix of Rest and Motion
Personally, I’ve found the one minute period the best. It’s easy to look at your watch and to follow the one minute. I tried going 2 and 3 minutes but it just tires me so much, that I don’t recover for the next interval. All the time for that one-minute you should try to go at it fairly gung-ho. Speaking of gung-ho, gung-ho means working together. If you can find a partner to do some interval training, it is a great way to be gung-ho together.
Interval Training for Weight Loss
Interval training like any exercise can be dangerous; you can stress your body and have a heart attack or a stroke. When in doubt talk to your doctor, and like any new exercise, take it real easy for the first few days and work up. While exercise might trigger a stroke, keeping in shape is a great way to prevent these nasty outcomes. Remember to start easy,don’t overdo it and work up to higher levels.
The benefit of interval training is that one pushes the body to higher level, and even brief moments at these higher demand levels creates physiological changes. Another way to think about interval training is that you get twice the benefit for half the effort! That’s right, if you work hard out for one minute, rest a minute and work again, and rest again, then for 2 minutes of exercise, you are getting 4 minutes of benefit. Actually, you are getting even more. Studies have shown that after a brief intense interval workout, effects like higher metabolism can linger for up to 24 hours!
“After three months, they found that the exercisers who did interval aerobic training three times a week showed greater improvements in blood pressure and oxygen carrying capacity compared to the continuous aerobic exercise group.”
More about the study
The beauty of this exercise program is that you don’t need a lot of time. A 4 minute workout isn’t that hard to find. You simply start doing something strenuous for a minute. You could be doing steps (on a stair, or a stool), or you could run down the street fairly fast. Or you can start lifting weights (not too heavy) fairly vigorously for a minute.
If you are just starting, you can do something as simple as running on the spot.
If the activity you try is too hard for you, there’s nothing wrong with doing it for 30 seconds or shorter as you work up your conditioning — until you can handle the full 60 seconds.
Some studies have shown improved regulation of blood glucose and insulin from interval training. In short, interval training is a wonder. Interval training can be 30 minutes of activity twice a week, or 10 minutes a day. It doesn’t seem to matter. I find that doing 15 minute a day is a nice number - easy to handle … but I often do less. In fact, writing up about this, I realize, I’ve let my program slip… I’m going to start again on interval training.
Study results
Do you live in a hilly neighbourhood? Run up a hill … it works wonders. A nice way to get your heart rate up quickly.
Just one last thing. Nothing motivates us like being able to see some progress. Start with the one-minute on, one-minute off, and see how many cycles you can last. Try to add another cycle each week. Or alternatively, try timing yourself for 50 of the items (50 steps, 50 yards, whatever). Here is another reason for doing it every day: You can see your progress, from day to day, from week to week. I did weight lifting in interval training for 10 pound weights. When I started, 5 repetitions was all I could handle, and after just 2 weeks, I was handling I was up to 30 repetitions. This interval stuff works.
It’s a good idea to take a couple of days off; Sunday and Monday seem like good days to me. The first day back at work, can be exhausting, so sometimes it nice to rest up a bit. Traditionally Sunday is a day of rest for many, or you could choose Saturday, and that be can be your Sabbath day. That said, any two days probably work.

HIGH COST OF GOVERNANCE: Your govt?s too large, Danjuma tells Jonathan

2011-02-13T06:50:00.000-08:00

BY CLIFFORD NDUJIHE AND DANIEL IDONOR
THE Presidential Advisory Council, PAC, yesterday, expressed concern over the increasing high cost of governance and advised President Goodluck Jonathan to reduce the number of Ministries, Departments and Agencies, MDAs.

PAC, in its recommendation, wants government to begin the process of merging and reduction of federal ministries and other government agencies to cut down on unnecessary government spending.

Finance Minister, Mr. Olusegun Aganga, had in September 2010, set up a committee to review the expenditure cut.

Nigeria has 29 ministries including the National Planning Commission and National Sports Commission, which function as ministries and for which ministers are appointed. There are also 14 federal agencies as provided for in the 1999 Constitution excluding ad-hoc bodies and panels that are raised from time to time.

On federal public servants alone, the Federal Government spends N200 billion yearly on emoluments.

Infrastructure development

Fielding questions from State House Correspondents shortly after a meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan, PAC Chairman, Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (rtd), said the cut down in government agencies would allow for more funds for government’s spending on infrastructure development.

Danjuma, who led other members of PAC to the meeting, said one of the suggestions made to President Jonathan at the meeting was “reducing the number of ministries and where there are functions they should be rationalized.”

The PAC chairman who maintained that boosting the nation’s economy was paramount to the committee added that the government had assured them “that most of the points we raised are already being addressed by government and we have been promised that we shall have a feedback from government and even if necessary we shall be involved in finding remedies to all the issues we have raised.”

He urged Nigerians to be patient with the government on the issue of the economy stressing that “it wasn’t necessary to demand for a time tag, these things will take a long time.”

Govt spends N15.6 trn on public servants since 1999

Vanguard investigations revealed that as of December 31, 2010, the three tiers of government in Nigeria would have spent N15.6 trillion or more on public servants, since May 1999.

This accounts for about 29.94 per cent of the N52.103 trillion spent by the three tiers of government within the period or 49.90 per cent of the estimated N31.26 trillion recurrent budget.

According to experts, the governments spend an average of 40 per cent of annual budgets on capital projects. In essence about N20.84 trillion had been allocated to capital expenditures within the period.

The N52.103 trn expenditure

Federal Government Appropriations since 1999 are as follows: 1999 (N524 billion); 2000 (N702 billion); 2001 (N894 billion); 2002 (N1.064 trillion); 2003 (N1.446 trillion); 2004 (N1.189 trillion); 2005 (N1.80 trillion); 2006 (N1.90 trillion); 2007 (N2.30 trillion); 2008 (3.58 trillion); 2009 (3.76 trillion) and 2010 (N4.427 trillion); totaling N22.586 trillion.

The states budgeted six trillion naira between 1999 to 2004 and between 2005 and 2010, they spent N16.467 trillion (2005, N1.21 trillion; 2006, N1.76 tn; 2007, N1.92; 2008, N3.143 tn; 2009, N3.944 tn; and 2010, N4.49 tn), totalling N22.586 trillion.

Since 1999, the local councils have received N7.05 trillion as statutory allocation. In the eight years up to 2007, the third tier of government received N3.3 trillion. In 2008, the councils got N1.05 trillion as statutory allocations and about N1.2 trillion in 2009.

According to the Federal Ministry of Finance, the Federal Government expects N6.04 trillion in revenue in 2010 and the Local Councils are expected to get about N1.5 trillion as statutory allocation.

The N52.103tn excludes local councils’ internally generated revenues, IGR.

How govt spent N15.6 trn on public servants

Immediate past Chairman of the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission, RMAFC, Hamman Tukur said in July 2009 that the country spends N1.3 trillion yearly on the emoluments of the Federal, 36 states and 774 local councils’ political, public and judicial office holders.

Of the N1.3 trillion national wage bill, Tukur said that the local councils spends 53 per cent, the 36 state governments accounts for about 32 per cent while the Federal Government spends 15 per cent.

Composition of public servants

The composition of Nigeria’s public servants is as follows: Federal Executive, 472; Federal Lawmakers, 469; State Executives, 2664; State Lawmakers, 1,152; Council Executives, 3096; Council Lawmakers 8692; and Federal/State Judiciary, 934 giving a total of 17,474.

Federal, state and council expenditure on public servants

Section Amount (N billions)
Federal Govt 200
State Govt 420
Local Govt 690
Total 1.31 trillion

How many times would one have to forgive Mr. Jonathan?By Tunde Fagbenle Sunday, 13 Feb 2011

How many times would one have to forgive Mr. Jonathan? By Tunde Fagbenle Sunday, 13 Feb 2011

I can’t knock Mr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (GEJ) too hard. He’s our president today by whatever providential turn and, if it must be said to exculpate him, he really, before events forced it upon him, never once thought he could ever be president of Nigeria. Not that he would have thought he wasn’t good enough but just that simply becoming Nigeria’s president was farfetched, say, some five years ago!

Even the governor thing was an accident. He was an innocent teacher plucked from the classroom to be running mate to Alams of infamous memory, only for GEJ himself to be saddled with the governorship power proper when Alams went in and under. Then Obasanjo plucked GEJ, again providentially, to become Umaru Yar’Adua’s running mate for president of Nigeria!

All that could be dizzying, I admit, to a poor village boy.

But that’s not why I can’t knock him entirely. Ebele surrounds himself with some of my old time pals and aburos, aside from the fact that I have a son whose mother comes right from GEJ’s neck of woods and I had journeyed to Turofani (boat miles from Patani) about 20 years ago for my father-in-law’s funeral and bear witness to the horrors of neglect and suffering those from that deep in the creeks undergo.

But, for Christ’s sake, how long will it take Ebele to shake off the innocence and reverie of creek life and realise that he is now Mr. President for real? And with that comes an expectation of carriage and presence of mind.

Not for the first time, neither of that was present out there in Ibadan on Monday (February 9) when he went on his campaign — his first, to earn our vote in his own right. What I heard on radio live broadcast (no, I wasn’t at Mapo Hall and I didn’t watch it on TV — thank goodness!) was not good enough.

Although I also admit that “godfather” Obasanjo’s babysitting and loquacious presence could be confusing, if not intimidating, still… wetin?

First, was President Jonathan referring to himself and his running mate, Sambo, as being in Oyo State to ask for the people’s vote in “our governorship race as we did last year for the PDP primaries?”

What? Did I hear right? Governorship race? But our President carried on, his voice not the most assuring, until some minutes into his speech, someone could be overheard whispering to him to correct the blunder:

“You said governorship, sir, you meant presidential race.”

“Oh, I did?” said our President. “Of course, I meant presidential race. We don’t want to take Akala’s job o.”

Well, at least, he tried to joke it off nicely.

But was that a mere faux pas or a Freudian slip? What state of mind would make a President, even “momentarily,” forget he was running for president and not governor? Something tells me GEJ hasn’t truly in his heart grown beyond the guber-level dreamland. This presidency thing is damn too big a shoe to wear.

And, GEJ went on further in his long, winding speech that qualified to be described as rambling were I to knock him, to commit the most reckless and inexcusable of opposition ridiculing: He called the governors and the political parties controlling the majority of the states in the West “rascals.” Each time he, like a child stuck on a new word, pronounced it, I cringed. And I cringed six times.

If GEJ and his handlers think that was a smart talk, they are wrong. Nothing could be dumber, uncalled for and inappropriate. You come to a region that, by his admission, is primus inter pares in education and enlightenment and you call their elected leaders (not riggers from the “nest of killers”) “rascals”? C’mon!

The worst thing is that it is out of character of gentleman Goodluck Jonathan that we know.

Who told him to come up with such - to borrow from his own terminology - rascality? Was it a need to be funny? I heard mumblings and not a laugh. Need to be rough on the opposition? Wrong. These are the people he could most count upon to save his neck in rough weather, as they did for him in the turbulent times of Yar’Adua’s last days.

President Goodluck Jonathan has done enough damage to himself talking when he shouldn’t and saying things he shouldn’t have said. And we keep forgiving him because of the “underdog” thing.

If Mr. Jonathan is tired of being the underdog, good; I am also tired of forgiving his gaffes. Shi kenan.

The Ribadu/Okonjo-Iweala ticket storm

My column of last week on the probable pairing of Nuhu Ribadu and Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala for presidential ticket under the Action Congress of Nigeria shocked me by the deluge of response it got from readers — rivalling the highest any of my columns had gathered — suggesting it is a matter dear to the hearts of my readers.

In deference, I run a couple here. Hundreds would still have to wait. I apologise.

My friend ‘Advocate’ of Buharism is not letting off, and his own text was first to come:

“Tunde, my brother,

“Yes, those who love Nigeria want Buhari to lead us. You forget that the Prince of Journalism, Tony Momoh, is CPC chairman. As a country, Nigeria has everything in human and material resources - a large market and nations that worship us. But we lack one critical factor - Discipline.

“Please, write to rebuild the ACN/CPC alliance under a Buhari candidacy to save a fumbling Nigeria. That is our hope!”

Lawson Omokhodion,

Then, a counterpoise:

“Dear Uncle Fagby,

“This was one of the greatest thought-provoking submissions I have read from you. I am sure your critics are going to lay ambush for you, once again, at the evil forest of the much-misappropriated issue of experience.

“Experience in what? Experience in making false and fraudulent promises? Experience in presiding over massive corruption and annulment of credible elections? Experience in overseeing election rigging and treasury looting? Experience in presiding over political and economic instability, terror and grave insecurity? Experience in do-or-die politics?

“Nigerians do not desire and deserve this kind of experience. All over the world, the vogue now is all about CHANGE. The kind of experience craved for in this land today is that of track record in excelling in whatever assignment entrusted on one at any particular point in time. Nuhu and Ngozi perfectly fit this bill.

“Particularly, it presents a big opportunity for Nd’igbo to record two firsts with one stone. That partnership is heavily pregnant with the prospect of paving the way for Ngozi as President after Nuhu. And that will make her the first executive President of Igbo extraction and first female president of Nigeria.

“If the Nuhu/Ngozi real deal happened, you would rejoice and dance. And I would make myself available to blow vuvuzela for you. If it didn’t, you would lament yet a missed prospect. And I would respond to those likely to laugh at the calamity of their nation with the satirical line: o ma se o!

“Thank you.”

Dele Akinola (del.prof@writing.com)

And my ‘star response’ from one Tonsoyo on the Nigeria Village Square website:

“We are not going to recycle any of the geriatric former dictators, period! And I do not care if he is Saint Buhari or Mother Theresa.”

Note: For readers who wonder how the Ribadu/Iweala ticket is still possible when ACN has already submitted another name as Ribadu’s running mate, INEC’s window of opportunity to change names remains open till February 15, I’m told. TF

THE NATION

I didn't attack Court of Appeal Justices, says NBA president
Our Reporter 28/01/2011 00:17:00

The attention of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has been drawn to the avalanche of unguarded comments emanating from the false and mischievous reporting of one Ise-Oluwa Ige (correspondent of the National Mirror) carried out on the front page of the National Mirror- a new entrant to the stable of national dailies in Nigeria-with the headline 'Appeal Court Justices Integrity doubtful – NBA' The said newspaper carried in the body of the story the following false and indeed misleading statements;

(i) That the NBA could not vouch for the integrity of the nations Court of Appeal Bench and that it vowed to investigate the allegation by Senator Iyiola Omisore that the Action Congress of Nigeria paid a whopping N5 billion bribe for the judgment that ousted former Osun State Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola from office.

(ii) That the NBA could vouch for other Courts including the Supreme Court and trial courts but that it could never vouch for the Court of Appeal.

(iii) That the credibility of Appeal Court Justices is in doubt and

(iv) That the Appeal Court should stop eroding the course of justice by giving conflicting judgments.

· The NBA declares that the entire story put out by Ise-Oluwa Ige and the National Mirror is not only false but a figment of the imagination of the said reporter. A transcript of the remarks made by the NBA President Joseph Bodunrin Daudu SAN at the event of the inauguration of the new branch officers of the Abuja Branch of the NBA on January 19, unedited and unabridged is annexed herewith for ease of reference. Out of a 4 page address only ¾ of a page was devoted to the issue of superior appellate courts and it is hereby reproduced;

'One last point which I'd like to make, is that I am greatly impressed at the confidence with which the chairman of the Bar of the branch has for the judiciary of the High Court for the Federal Capital Territory. That he is able to say this in black and white, speaks a lot for both the leadership in the bench for both the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory and the calibre of judges that work in this jurisdiction. But unfortunately, when asked what was my position about the Court of Appeal as regards what Senator Omisore wrote in the papers a few days ago. I could not come out in all sincerity to make a defense as your chairman has done for the High Court here. Well, all I said was that the Bar would look at it at its NEC meeting and would take an aggregate of views.

But again going back to the chairman's speech. He made two important points; the first is that, when the facts are similar, the judgments must be uniform throughout the country. Coming from a young man at the Bar, one would expect that those who are older at the Bar and who sit in panels in courts should also know that, and when you find a situation whereby there are discordant judgments coming from the same panel on similar issues, that gives a room for inference that each case is being considered on different yard sticks. Whereas they are similar, so I join him in drawing the attention of superior courts, especially superior appellate courts, to the growing complaint. That is where the judgments cannot be uniform it makes it very impossible for us to stand up and defend when an institution as veritable as the Court of Appeal is being attacked on the basis of inconsistency. We cannot speak out at NEC and defend the situation; we cannot until the situation improves.'

· Clearly from the foregoing, the only remark made by the NBA President concerning the issues raised by Senator Omisore on the outcome of the Osun Gubernatorial Election is that it will be discussed at the next National Executive Committee meeting of the NBA and there an aggregate of the views will be taken. The other issues discussed were in the context of the remarks made by the newly sworn-in Chairman of the Abuja Branch Mazi Afam Osigwe on the inconsistent judgments ostensibly on identical facts made by 'superior appellate courts'. The NBA President joined in abhorring the growing trend of lack of uniformity in court judgments. How this legitimate remark on a strictly legal issue made in the overall interest of the legal profession can be linked to Senator Omisore's grouse beats our imagination. It is also obvious that the NBA did not at any time exonerate the trial courts and apex court from corruption while singling out the Court of Appeal for special mention.

·The NBA observes with regret that a great host of personalities ranging from senior members of the Bar, senior judicial officers and professional bloggers have all fallen over themselves to condemn the NBA president in public without (i) requesting for the original material from which Ise-Oluwa Ige concocted his false and malicious story in order to verify the contents, more so as this was the only newspaper from among the over 15 credible national dailies that covered the event who reported such a story (ii) observing the age old principle of audi alterem partem by simply inquiring from the president if the remarks or statement alluded to him was made at all before even going to the next stage of whether they are correct or not.

·It is distressing to note that members of the Bar will come out in the open to unguardedly condemn the President of the NBA for making a statement on behalf of the Bar. It has long been settled that when the NBA President speaks he does so unquestioningly for the entire Bar. In doing so he enjoins a presumption of correctness that can only be displaced by NEC. It follows that any member of the Bar that has a problem with the NBA President's views can only make his objection known at a NEC meeting or at the Annual General Conference.

· Finally, the NBA remains committed in its fight against corruption in every facet of the society. Being a responsible body, its leadership knows the appropriate time and place to take up matters of this nature. It will remain undaunted in its determination to ensure that corruption is eliminated from our body polity especially the judiciary and that good governance and excellent administration of justice prevails.

Lawyers lash NBA president over comments on Appeal Court Justices
Eric Ikhilae Joseph Jibueze and Damisi Ojo 26/01/2011 00:15:00

Following his criticisms of the Justices of the Court of Appeal, the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) President, Joseph Daudu has been under attack. Senior lawyers say his position does not give him the licence to issue such a sweeping condemnation, Eric Ikhilae Joseph Jibueze and Damisi Ojo speak with the eminent lawyers

Senior lawyers yesterday reacted angrily to the condemnation of Justices of the nation's appellate court by the President of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), Joseph Daudu. Some described it as contemptuous; others simply called for a retraction.

Prof. Itse Sagay, Chief Felix Fagbohungbe, Chief Adegboyega Awomolo, Mr Dele Belgore, Dr. Joseph Nwobike (all Senior Advocates), Mr. Ade Adedeji and Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa condemned Daudu's sweeping condemnation of Justices of the Court of Appeal.

The NBA President was reported last week to have cast aspersions on the honesty of the appellate court Justices and questioned their integrity for allegedly granting "contradictory decisions". Besides, he said some allegations against their Lordships by Senator Iyiola Omisore, who was ruing the verdict that kicked his party out of the Government House, would be probed.

Fagbohungbe and Prof. Sagay said they were not convinced that Daudu, actually uttered the statement he was credited with. He could have been misquoted, they said.

"J.B. Daudu is my friend and brother. I do not expect him to talk like that. His position today as the President of the Nigerian Bar does not allow him to make such statements. He must know that it is part of his responsibility to protect the Judiciary.

"How could he have said that? Has he read the judgments by the Appeal Court Justices? What evidence has he to reach such conclusion?

"He ought to have castigated people like Omisore. I expected him to have dragged people like Omisore to court or before any disciplinary body for what he did. Omisore can not castigate judges openly to the extent of taking advertorials in the papers.

"There are avenues to air his grievance, if he has any. What he did is in bad faith. He acted wrongly by placing advertorial to castigate judges.

"Daudu is a very senior lawyer. I believe he must have been misquoted and quoted out of context. What is the source of information? Where did he get the facts to reach such a conclusion?"

"Sagay is shocked at the statement". "That is not the position of the Bar. I can tell you without any fear or favour that what the NBA President said was not consistent with the facts on ground," he said, adding: "The Court of Appeal is the one that has redeemed the image of the Judiciary with landmark judgments. He must have been misquoted and he needs to clarify his statement without delay; otherwise, he will lose respect."

Nwobike said the judiciary should not be unduly criticised. "I believe that the judiciary is being unfairly and unjustifiably vilified by politicians. The NBA should not be a tool towards achieving that purpose,"

"Daudu, as far as I am concern, spoke for himself and not the Nigerian Bar that he currently heads. He also did not speak for the Body of Benchers to which I belong.

"I will want to dissociate myself with the comment credited to the NBA President. It is highly uncharitable of him. It is unkind to the judges, particularly those members of the various electoral appeal tribunals across the country," Nwobuke said.

Adedeji said the statement is malicious and contemptuous of the Judiciary.

"As the NBA President, he did not have the right to make such a statement, condemning the Judiciary. He should know that as the head of the Bar, his position would be construed as that of the entire Bar, which is not true.

"He should know that as the President of the Nigerian Bar, it is part of his responsibility to protect the integrity of the Judiciary, else its integrity will be maligned.

Adegboruwa said although since the Eso panel of 1994 reported corruption on the Bench, there have been the impression that there are corrupt judges, that was not enough for the NBA President to have made such a sweeping condemnation.

"Judges are human being. It is possible that there are corrupt ones among them. That can not lead to a wholistic condemnation. It lies with the Bar to investigate any allegation of corruption, not concluding from newspaper reports.

"We can not engage in general condemnation until a painstaking investigation is carried out to identify the corrupt ones. He (Daudu) went about it wrongly by engaging in sweeping condemnation.

Awomolo criticised Senator Iyiola Omisore, representing Osun East Senatorial District for allegedly maligning the judiciary over Osun Appeal tribunal.

He described him as a frustrated politician who is not fit to be a senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Awomolo also flayed the federal lawmaker for his comment in the media that the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) bribed some judges of the Court of Appeal with N5billion to procure the judgment of the Appeal tribunal on the Osun governorship election in favour of its candidate, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola.

The Senior Advocate who spoke with reporters in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, described the senator's claim as reckless.

He said: "For me, I would take it as he (Daudu) has made his opinion to the press. His opinion does not represent the position of the Bar.

The former Commissioner for Justice in Osun State queried the NBA president for making such a statement against the judges especially when the allegation raised by the senator had not been investigated.

Dismissing Senator Omisore's allegation as one that does not deserve any attention by well-meaning Nigerian, the senior lawyer reminded Senator Omisore as a beneficiary of the "goodness of the judicial system."

He recalled that but for the judiciary; the senator should be "languishing" in jail by now for allegation that he (Omisore) killed a former attorney general and minister of justice, Chief Bola Ige.

"Because this time around the decision of the court did not favour him, he is making such frivolous, reckless and irresponsible statement. As far as I am concerned, it is a statement that deserves no attention. For me I think he does not deserve to be a senator of Nigeria .

Belgore described the statement credited to Daudu as "very sad" and "totally regrettable" if indeed the NBA President made the statement attributed to him.

He said Daudu, on the contrary, should help to defend the integrity of the bench rather than cast aspersions on it, adding: "You must not wreck the public's confidence in the judiciary."

He added that if indeed Daudu was not misquoted, a person of his caliber and office would definitely not be expected to make such sweeping statement against justices of the Court of Appeal.
