“It is time to demonstrate leadership"- Lagos pastor, Tunde Bakare tells President Buhari

Senior Pastor of the Latter Rain Assembly and former running mate to President Buhari in the 2011 general election, Pastor Tunde Bakare, Sunday had his annual state of the nation speech where he said that it is time for President Buhari to demonstrate leadership and lead Nigeria aright. 

He charged President Buhari to re-shuffle his cabinet and ensure that the right people with their expertise are placed in the right places.

“Mr. President must galvanise his team to get the job done; square pegs in round holes must be removed or put in appropriate places; the wicked who surround the righteous must be led away from the presence of the king. 

Those who cannot stand the heat must get out of the kitchen. It is time to demonstrate leadership, wise judgment and astute public policy that guarantees stable and prosperous nationhood upon a foundation of peace.

America doomed under Donald Trump - Norwegian Professor who predicted 911 attack and fall of Berlin Wall

Johan Galtung, a sociologist and Norwegian professor, who rightly made several predictions, among them being the 911 attack, the fall of the Soviet Union and the Tiananmen Square uprising, has predicted that the world’s super power will collapse while Trump is in the white house.

Long before Trump won the election or even contested for that matter, in 2000 Galtung predicted the US global power will collapse come 2025, but he later revised the year of the collapse to 2020. Galtung is convinced his prediction is materialising following the election of Donald Trump.

One of the final phases of the decline of the US predicted in the professor’s 2009 book, The Fall of the American Empire – and then What?, coincides with the anti-immigrant platform on which Trump’s campaign was built.

New Ghanaian President in inaugural speech plagiarism

It's not the best of times for Ghana's new President, Nana Akufo-Addo. He's currently the butt of jokes across social media in Africa following a plagiarism scandal that has plagued his inaugural speech. 

Part of his inaugural speech on January 7, 2017 was found to have been lifted from a 1993 speech by President Bill Clinton of the United States.

Parts of the speech also seem to have been lifted from a speech by another US president John F. Kennedy made in 1961.

On January 20, 1961 President J. F. Kennedy during his inaugural address said, “if a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it can’t save the few who are rich”.

Akufo-Addo in his inaugural speech said the same thing on Saturday.
