WASHINGTON (AP) — In selecting Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson as his secretary of state, President-elect Donald Trump is making the same bet he asked voters to make on him: that a track record of business accomplishment will translate into success in government. Indeed, Trump, the first billionaire businessman to win the White House, is broadly testing that proposition across his administration. He's tapped fast food executive Andy Puzder to lead the Labor Department, billionaire investor Wilbur Ross for Commerce, financier Steven Mnuchin as Treasury secretary and Goldman Sachs President Gary Cohn as his top economic adviser. But he's taking perhaps his biggest chance on Tillerson, pulling an executive from the rough-and-tumble world of oil production into the delicate arena of international diplomacy. If confirmed by the Senate — and his deep ties to Russia make that no sure thing — Tillerson will be at the center of discussions over the Syrian civil war, ...

Ngige has asked Governor Obiano to get his handover notes ready ahead of Anambra guber poll He saves only Obiano's defection to APC will save him  Obiano's media aide says Ngige is daydreaming Senator Chris Ngige, the minister of labour and employment, on Monday, December 12, advised Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra state to start writing his handover notes ahead of the governorship election in the state. Speaking at a press conference in Awka, the Anambra state capital, the APC would contest the governorship election in the state fully and effectively and unless Obiano joins the ruling party, he doesn’t stand a chance of retaining his seat. The minister said: “We are going to contest that election fully, effectively, with all the resources at our disposal. And I can tell you without any fear of contradiction that Anambra will be an APC state.” Ngige, who said he would not contest the 2017 governorship election of the state because of his national ...

Dec 13 (Reuters) - Arsene Wenger feels guilty about Arsenal's Champions League failures and the Frenchmen is hoping a quote from the bible can act as inspiration when they face Bayern Munich in the round of 16. Arsenal will aim to reach the quarter-finals for a first time in seven seasons when they face Bayern in February and March, having lost twice to the Germans and Barcelona, and once each to AC Milan and Monaco in their last six campaigns. "We are all here to change history and to make history, so we have to change what happened before and make it better," the Arsenal manager told British media. "Look, the last six years we have not come past the last 16. They said that God made the world in seven days and this is the seventh day for us! So we have to get a special day." Arsenal hoped to avoid a European heavyweight after topping their group but were pitted against Bayern for the fourth time in five seasons when the draw was made ...

A father’s influence goes to the fourth generation after him. Whitney Houston’s parents Emily (Cissy) and John Houston divorced when she was at kindergarten. Together with lover, Bobby Brown, Whitney smoked crack in the presence of their 5 year old daughter, Bobbi Kristina. At 22, Bobbi died of drug abuse…her mother Whitney died at 48 on similar grounds. Great careers and more importantly, great lives lost due to weak fatherhood. 💡While there is little you can do about your ancestors, there is something that you can do about your descendants. One thing that prevents a man from being a good father is that he hasn’t completed being a boy. To be in your children’s’ memory tomorrow, you have to be in their lives’ today. Having children doesn’t make you a father. Raising them does. 💡There are many of us who were raised up in unstable families but we don’t have to pass it on to our children. We don’t have to fight in the presence of our children. We can choose to shield their emotio...

Welcome to the Hour of Good News! GROWING INTO MATURITY (6) AVOID THE TRAP OF RELIGION "What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people's faces. You won't go in yourselves, and you don't let others enter either. "What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hell you yourselves are!" (Matt 23:13-15) NLT Religion is a trap for most people. It shuts the door of the kingdom in people’s face. It has the form of godliness but denying the power thereof. Millions of people are practicing religion and they taught they are serving the living God. Religious people don’t really have a deep relationship with God. They relate with God in their own way- they serve Him the way they want to, not the way He want them to serve Him. Jude descr...

Welcome to the Hour of Good News! GROWING INTO MATURITY (5) THE PLACE OF RIGTH TEACHINGS “Jesus traveled through all the towns and villages of that area, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom.” (Matt 9:35) NLT The lack of right teaching is the primary reason we’ve failed to grow. Certainly we can study ourselves and grow to some extent. But God also put teachers in the Church to help us grow, to feed us upon God’s word. Most of what is taught and preached in the church today is things of minor importance rather than the real substance. We are majoring on the minor. Teachings on how to succeed in life, mental development and motivational speaking and politics are good but they are not the major food required for spiritual growth. Some of these things can as well be thought outside of church. There are many sales, and marketing people that can motivate us to taking actions that can make us succeed as individuals. Don’t misunderstand me,...

The Federal Government on Monday announced that 571,000 tonnes of foreign rice warehoused in neighbouring countries were being targeted for the Nigerian market for the Christmas and New Year season, but vowed to stop their entry. It also stated that Nigeria recently took delivery of 110 rice mills in its bid to enhance local production so as to commence the exportation of white rice from next year. The Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Chief Audu Ogbeh, who disclosed these in Abuja, stated that some of Nigeria’s neighbours, particularly the Republic of Benin, were not moving goods within the region as required by relevant treaties. He, however, stated that the Federal Government would henceforth check all illegal movements of food and non-food items into Nigeria from the neighbouring countries. Ogbeh said, “What they do is that they import goods, station themselves at our borders and then smuggle them into Nigeria. For instance, the Republic of Benin d...

Editor’s note: President Muhammadu Buhari was elected on the platform of change but hid administration has failed to live up to its expectation. In this open letter by Moremi Ojudu, she called on President Buhari to fulfil campaign promises and address the financial issue affecting the country. Dear President Muhammadu Buhari, I write this letter in response to the growing anxieties and pains stalking the land, especially the unintended fire storm which my comments elicited on the social blogosphere some few days back. Candidly, I only wanted to express my frustrations at the shape and turn of things in the country and take you to task on previously given assurances that you feel the pains which Nigerians are grappling with. While thanking you most profusely for feeling our pains, we would be better off if there were immediate remedial steps which could bail us from further hardships. The pains for want of a better word are unimaginable and any hint of its continuing will not aug...
