Bishop David Oyedepo says Nigeria is on the verge of a break up !!
"I hope that we are willing to find solution to it. I would be the last person in this world to believe that government has not discovered those who are behind Boko Haram. Otherwise, we don’t have any intelligence service in our country. Are they sacred cows that cannot be brought to book? Until we cut the source of their supplies and get those who are involved, we cannot stop them. But the danger is this, and I must say it here, we are at the verge of a break up. That is the truth. It’s unfortunate. The Nigerian nation is too intelligent to claim not to have discovered those who are behind this. So, I really believe it’s all in the hands of the authorities to decide whether they want to confront the issue headlong or to keep watching it until Nigeria breaks up......All that the church can do is to pray. The church is not in power, it has no political power. And when invited, we give advice, when required or called upon. You can’t call someone and say can I advise you?" - Bishop David Oyedepo

Nigeria, Michael Ikpoki, said “At MTN, we believe that health insurance
contributes to removing the financial barriers to healthcare, giving people
unrestricted access to good health care without having to pay out-of-pocket.
More than bringing flexibility and ease to paying for health care service,
health insurance is also a means of providing greater access to healthcare for
larger segments of a population. Indeed we believe health insurance is
imperative for closing the gap between the availability of health care service
and the ability of the citizenry to access it”.

Nigerian teen arrested after hurting his mum & younger brother found dead
An 18 year old Nigerian teen has been arrested after his doctor mum was
found seriously injured and his younger brother found dead beside her at
their home in Dix Hill, Long Island, New York.
Their dad returned home on Saturday night July 19th to discover 15 year old Bradley Okonkwo (pictured centre) dead in their apartment, and his wife, Dr Chinwe Okonkwo (pictured left) suffering from severe head wounds. He immediately called the police who arrived the scene shortly afterwards.
Charles Okonkwo jnr (pictured right), who'd left the home shortly after the incident, was eventually arrested near the family home, and has been charged for attacking his mother. He is yet to be charged for his brother's death, though he confessed to 'hurting his mother and his brother'.

Charles Jnr is said to have a history of psychiatric issues and the
family had been trying to help him before the vicious attack. I bet the
brother was trying to protect his mum when he was killed. Sad!
During his arraignment yesterday, Charles kept his head down throughout and did not enter a
plea.
