Below are photos of the new look of  Enugu-Onitsha expressway road presently undergoing reconstruction by President Muhammadu Buhari. 

It should be recalled that Father Mbaka on 31st spoke well of Buhari and mentioned this road as one of his achievements. Speaking at Adoration Ministry, he recalled how he warned him to change or be changed.He said the killings by Fulani herdsmen have reduced since he warned him to change.He argued that it will be unwise to compare Buhari's 4yrs with PDP's 16yrs rule(he gave instance that you can not give a nursery one student the same exam with primary six student).He said Buhari has improved agriculture with some of his policies.He mentioned President Buhari's Anchor Borrowers' Scheme' and how it has helped many farmers.

He said while many northern farmers have become rich with the scheme,many of the Igbos are dwelling on alleged dead Buhari issue instead of utilising the opportunity.

Speaking on issue of corruption,he said a  President who fights corruption should be supported.He recalled how catholic Bishops organise anti-corruption prayers to reduce corruption in Nigeria.He however said that Buhari(nobody) is a saint but you can not compare Buhari with many others when it comes to anti-corruption crusade(mark the statement nobody is a saint ie Buhari has his faults too).He argued that Buhari is better than others.He however said that he is not endorsing anybody.He also spoke of the impending hardship Nigerians will witness but said with prayer children of God will overcome.

He also prayed for Nigerian Bishops,priests,Nigerians in general and many others.Speaking about the ordeal of a prophet,he said there are things he know about these politicians that many don't know.

He said that everybody has different gift.According to him,you should not be greedy of another person's gift.He praised Gov Ugwuanyi,Gov Umahi for his infrastructural transformation in Ebonyi and Gov Obiano for his improvement of security in Anambra.

He concluded by saying that he is not God but let the will of God be done.He however stated that he is a Nigerian and can not keep mute if he sees anything that will affect Nigeria negatively simply because he wants to be nice.

Come to think of it,people say he is an APC reverend right?Are Gov. Ugwuanyi,Umahi and Obiano APC governors?Are there things he know about Atiku/Peter Obi that we don't know?

Saraki Doctored His Radio Interview On N10m Donation – Minister - Politics -

Temidayo Akinsuyi 



The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said available evidence shows that the live radio interview of Senate President Bukola Saraki on Christmas Day was doctored before it was re-broadcast to remove any reference to the claimed donation of 10 million Naira to victims of the armed robbery in Offa, Kwara State.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, the Minister said he is presenting to the public both the unedited version of the live radio interview as well as the doctored, re-broadcast version so the people can see the extent to which some ‘leaders’ can go to deceive the people and peddle lies just to shore up their dwindling fortunes.

”In the unedited live version, Dr. Saraki, speaking in Yoruba, said categorically that he donated 10 million Naira when he visited Offa to commiserate with the victims of the armed robbery, when (he said) in actual fact about 7 million Naira was stolen from the vaults of the banks that were robbed during the attack.

”However, the version for re-broadcast did not contain any reference to the Offa robbery. Whereas they claimed to have re-broadcast the interview due to popular demand, the truth is that they decided to re-air it without the claim of 10 million Naira donation due to the widespread derision that greeted that phantom claim. These people have a chronic disdain for the truth,” he said.

Victor Moses Vows To Bounce Back In 2019 - Sports -

Nigerian star Victor Moses is confident of making a fresh start in 2019 after finding regular game time hard to come by at Chelsea last year.
Moses who had a stellar campaign with Chelsea in 2018, featuring regularly as the Blues lifted the English FA Cup last season, has gone from been one of Antonio Conte’s main man in the right wing-back role to almost a forgotten man under Maurizio Sarri.


The 27-year-old made just two substitute appearances in the Premier League, with another two showings off the bench in the Europa League and one start in the Carabao Cup, raising concerns his days at the bridge are numbered.

He however remains upbeat about his prospects, taking to Twitter on New Year day to announce his resolve.

“2018 was a year to remember and now it’s time to make 2019 even better. Happy New Year everyone,” Moses Tweeted.
