It was a restricted area, with many hazards for those who would dare to openly share their faith. As the team drove along, they prayed that God would go before them and open doors of opportunity and give them safety. "Just before they arrived at the village, a policeman flagged down their car.

Fuel Subsidy Fraud Being Perpetrated by the Nigerian Government National President of NUPENG, Achese Igwe, said it was high time Nigerians asked questions on why the refineries had been allowed to be in comatose and the diversion of its crude products for refining in the open market, while their refined products were returned to look like the imported. ~ The Guardian of Nigeria According to the National Union of Petroleum and National Gas Workers (NUPENG) of Nigeria, the government deliberately abandoned the four refineries in the country and diverted crude oil to the open market for offshore refining and later returned the crude oil products as imported petrol and kerosene to be sold to ignorant Nigerians at inflated prices.

Dear UBA and Read Africa, I sincerely appreciate your commendable commitment to corporate social responsibility by your laudable initiative Read Africa for championing the revival of the reading culture across Africa. Distribution of books to pupils and other young people through their schools is proactive, but that will not be enough to revive a reading culture in Africa, because the problem is not with our children, but with our intellectually disorientated society of youths and older people who are more distracted by the challenges and vanities of catching up with the Joneses in the rat race than being attracted to reading for pleasure, because it is what the children see their fathers, mothers and uncles are doing that they would emulate? Giving free books to children will not make their parents to go and buy more books for them later, because they have been disconnected from the intellectual appreciation of our literary culture. Until we address the intellectual disorient...
