The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun state, Sen. Ademola Adeleke, has been handed seven days to produce his secondary school certificate.

The Osun State High Court made the order on Thursday to the candidate in the Sept. 22 governorship election.

Messrs Rasheed Olabayo and Oluwaseun Idowu had prayed the court to disqualify Adeleke for not possessing a school certificate, as required by Section 177 (d) of the 1999 Constitution.

They also asked the court to set aside the July 21 primary that produced Adeleke as the partys governorship candidate.

In his ruling yesterday on the ex-parte application, Justice David Oladimeji,
advised Adeleke to present his secondary school certificate before the court on Aug. 1.

Oladimeji held that the ex-parte injunction has only seven days lifespan, adding there are still windows left open till August 8, according to the affidavits sworn to by the applicants.

It will be inequitable not to allow the respondent to come and show his certificate, if he has any. But if given the opportunity to present his side of the case, the balance, which is necessary for interlocutory injunction, would be adequately considered.

Justice Oladimeji adjourned the motion on notice till August 1 for hearing.

Also, Adeleke has accused those he called fifth columnists for his travail.

Addressing reporters in Abuja on Thursday, his Director of Media and Publicity, Adeleke Campaign Organisation, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, said fifth columnists were playing out an alleged destructive? script of their paymaster against the PDP.

Rasheed noted that while the campaign organisation recognised the right of any aggrieved aspirant to seek redress, the development, he said, raised discomforting questions about the real motive of the challenging camp.

Some PDPs governorship candidates had earlier dragged Adeleke court for alleged non-possession of primary school certificate.

The members are seeking that the court grant an interim order to set aside results of the governorship election that produced Adeleke.

The plaintiffs are also asking the court to grant an order restraining the PDP from presenting Adelekes name to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the September 22nd governorship poll.

A US military aircraft flew the remains of American servicemen out of North Korea on Friday, a move hailed by the White House as a positive step for the fragile detente between the two rivals.

The return of the remains on the 65th anniversary of the end of the Korean War marks the partial fulfilment of an agreement reached between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at their historic summit in Singapore last month.

After so many years, this will be a great moment for so many families. Thank you to Kim Jong Un, Trump said in a tweet.

The White House said it was encouraged by the return of the remains and the momentum for positive change.

Todays actions represent a significant first step to recommence the repatriation of remains from North Korea and to resume field operations in North Korea to search for the estimated 5,300 Americans who have not yet returned home, it said.

After leaving the North Korean port city of Wonsan, the C-17 cargo plane landed at the Osan US Air Base in South Korea at around 0200 GMT, where live TV images showed American soldiers lined up for a ceremony.

The United Nations Command (UNC) in South Korea said 55 sets of remains were on board the plane.

It was a successful mission following extensive coordination, General Vincent Brooks, commander of the UNC and United States Forces Korea, said in a statement.

Now, we will prepare to honour our fallen before they continue on their journey home.

More than 35,000 Americans were killed on the Korean Peninsula during the war, out of which around 7,700 are still considered missing, including 5,300 in North Korea alone, according to the Pentagon.

Between 1990 and 2005, 229 sets of remains from the North were repatriated, but those operations were suspended when ties deteriorated over Pyongyangs nuclear weapons programme.

The remains flown to Osan on Friday are expected to be sent to Hawaii for forensic identification, following a formal repatriation ceremony next Wednesday.

Trump has hailed his summit agreement with Kim as effectively ending the North Korean nuclear threat, although it contained only an ill-defined commitment on Pyongyangs part to the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula a long way from the complete, verifiable and irreversible disarmament demanded by Washington.

The issue of repatriating remains of American war dead was seen as a far less contentious one, and the summit agreement specified the immediate return of those remains already identified.

According to US officials, North Korea is estimated to have as many as 200 sets of remains ready for delivery.

Kaduna State Deputy Governor, Arch. Barnabas Yusuf Bala Bantex will gun for the Kaduna South Senate seat, instead of running with Governor Nasir El-Rufai in the 2019 election.

By throwing his hat in the ring, Bantex will hope to displace the incumbent Senator Danjuma Laah, one of the senators, representing the state, who El-Rufai, in a fit of anger described as useless, after spearheading the rejection of a World Bank loan by the senate. Danjuma Laah belongs to the Peoples Democratic Party.

The Deputy Governor said his decision to run was taken to give his people quality representation and address national issues affecting them.

Bantex, who intends to contest on All Progressives Congress (APC) ticket, said he took the difficult decision due to what his people have gone through in the area of insecurity in the last 10 years and the inability of their leaders to rise against it, when it could have easily been done, coupled with the need to give good leadership that would drag the zone from quagmire into greatness and progression.

In a speech titled Southern Politics is Bridge-Building, not a Pity Party, the Deputy Governor said, with utmost confidence in the fair mindedness, the results accomplished, and the work being done by the APC government of Kaduna state, under the leadership of Malam Nasir el-Rufai, I have decided to offer myself as the APC candidate for the Kaduna South Senatorial District in the forthcoming 2019 election.

I will continue to serve as Deputy Governor of Kaduna state while pursuing this aspiration. As Deputy Governor, I have had several opportunities to witness this commitment to equity, and I regret that some of the elected representation from my zone has not matched this broad-mindedness and constructive approach, in the interest of our people in Zone 3.

I have therefore come to the conclusion that it is worth leaving the office of Deputy Governor to put these issues on the ballot, to encourage more mature and sober political discourse in the area, in order to deliver the desirable quality of representation for our people, and attract the maximum dividend of democracy.

This has been a very difficult decision for me in view of the uncommon goodwill and brotherly relationship that I currently enjoy with Malam Nasir el-Rufai who has elevated the relationship between Governor and Deputy Governor to a level of mutual respect, engagement and involvement that is unparalleled in our democracy.

Bala, who was first elected chairman of APC in Kaduna state, said, I have had the great pleasure to work with a team that has achieved a lot in human capital development, making health and education more accessible to ordinary people, building infrastructure and vigorously promoting equality of opportunity.

He said the government has been able to resist blackmail by those seeking political patronage and forces accustomed to benefitting from deliberate stoking of ethno-religious fires, to achieve electronic voting, implementing TSA, remaking public service, recruiting qualified teachers, equipping primary health centres, building township roads and creating jobs in the public and private sectors.

He said is aspiration aimed at ensuring equitable development of his zone to ensure that the people enjoy improved commensurate dividends of democracy better than before.

It is my firm intention to run on the record of the el-Rufai government in promoting development across the state. I am fully prepared to challenge anyone that represents the failures of the past in delivering the best for our people. I am convinced that it is time for our people to firmly reject the poorest senatorial representation Zone 3 has had since 1999.

By Gods grace, and with the support of the people, I have been privileged to serve as a Member of the House of Representatives on the platform of the Action Congress. I understood that such an office imposed on me a duty of responsible representation, and this obligation led me to seek and maintain good relations with the State Governor at the time, Namadi Sambo despite his being of the PDP.

Huge drama is expected in Kwara state politics in the weeks ahead as Senate President Bukola Saraki and Governor AbdulFattah Ahmed formally declare their defection to the Peoples Democratic Party from the All Progressives Congress.

Just as witnessed in 2014, when APC members left to join the PDP after Saraki joined the APC, a counter-defection from the PDP to APC or another political group is now easily predictable.

A sign of what to expect is the declaration by the Kwara State chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo, that he cannot work with the incoming defectors, especially Saraki and Governor Abdulfattah Ahmed.

Two senators, Shaaba Lafiagi (Kwara North) and Rafiu Ibrahim (Kwara South) as well as the six members of the House of Representatives from the state were among federal legislators who defected on Tuesday from the APC.

But Oyedepo, who spoke on the development on a radio programme in Ilorin, the state capital, said the national leadership of the PDP set up a committee to interface between his group and the defectors. The first meeting is slated for next week, he said.

The PDP chairman, who said he had just returned from a meeting with PDP leaders in Abuja, blamed the partys national leadership for being allegedly insensitive to the political configuration in Kwara State and allowing themselves to be swayed by funding capacity of the defectors. To him, the option now before the leaders is to choose between his group and the Sarakis.

If we agree to work with them (Saraki), just imagine myself and (Governor AbdulFattah Ahmed) Maigida standing on the same rostrum, pledging to do things for the people. It will be a shame; many people will look at me and wonder what has happened. So, it is better not to be in politics again. Instead of a dog being the treasurer for the lion, it is better for both to part ways and go on their separate hunting game.

We have not sat down with the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki and the state governor, Alhaji AbdulFattah Ahmed, even though Im hearing several rumours that I have met with them and that they have offered me juicy positions. Those are all lies; the Senate President despite his humongous wealth, does not yet have what it takes to buy me. He cannot ever buy me because he cannot buy my integrity. If my bank account is not fat, my integrity account is very fat.

So they have not met with us but our national body said they have set up a committee to meet with the two sides next week and when that meeting comes up, we are going to tell the national body that we cannot accept the formula they have put down which is 60:40, 60 percent for a state defecting with the governor and 40 percent for the existing PDP members. And if they said what of 50:50, or 40:60 or 30:70 or even 10:90, we shall not accept; we cannot accept any offer. Anything less than our not working together we cannot accept.

So, we will tell our national body to choose between us and them and I know that they will not choose us because we dont have money but we are not worried. We will only know that an end has come to our journey and our relationship (in the PDP).

If we agree to work with them (Saraki), just imagine myself and (Governor AbdulFattah Ahmed) Maigida standing on the same rostrum, pledging to do things for the people. It will be a shame; many people will look at me and wonder what has happened. So, it is better not to be in politics again. Instead of a dog being the treasurer for the lion, it is better for both to part ways and go on their separate hunting game.

The blame is not from the Saraki camp; the blame is from our national leaders (in the PDP). Leadership in Nigeria is the conspiracy of the elite to punish the downtrodden. When they gave us the party, we inherited nothing and so whatever you see in the PDP today is the product of our efforts. For this alone we should not be interested in defecting from our own house but it is better we do so now and look forward to better future for our dear state.

Oyedepo is author of the book: Shonga and the Looting of Kwara State Treasury. He also wrote Letters to the Emir. Shonga offers an incisive and revelatory account of how Senator Bukola Saraki, a formergovernor of Kwara State, in collaboration with the rejected white Zimbabwe farmers ruined a thriving farming culture and thus manoeuvred the state into a debt trap.

Senate President Bukola Saraki has now made a statement to the police, in respect of the investigation into the multiple robberies in Offa on 5 April, in which 31 people were killed.

The police in a short statement on Thursday night reported the Senate President made cautionary statement to the Police Investigation Team investigating the case of Offa bank robbery that occurred on 5th April, 2018.

The police said investigation is in progress on the matter.

The Inspector General of Police had on Monday invited Saraki to report to the Head of investigation team, of the Intelligence Response Team ( IRT) on July 24 at 8 a.m. in Guzape, Abuja. But Saraki ignored the invitation until Thursday 26 July.

The police had on 4 June asked for Sarakis reaction to the statement made by some of the suspects arrested in connection to the most deadly robbery in the history of Nigeria. Sarakiwrote a statement dated 7 June.

Idris ruled the statement inadequate.

After a careful perusal of your letter to the Police, it was discovered that the statement requires further clarification and coupled with the fact that you stated that the full text of the statements of the suspects were not shown to you, it is imperative you report to the Police to make further statements after giving you the full text of the statements of the suspects.

In a response, Saraki described the invitation as a mere afterthought which is designed to achieve political purpose.

The Police have obviously corrupted and politicized their investigations into the Offa robbery incident. They have turned it into an instrument for the party in power to suppress perceived opponents, witch-hunt issue for blackmailing people from freely choosing which platform on which they want to pursue their ambition and a matter for harassing the people whose exit from APC would harm the chances of the party in the forthcoming elections.

I want to make it apparent that I have no hand in either the robbery incident or any criminal acitivity. The Police in their haste to embarrass me sent the invitation to me at 8pm and requested that I report to the station by 8am tomorrow morning. This obviously demonstrated their desperation as I do not see why they are now in a hurry., Saraki said.

The invitation was later to be mired in controversy as a report by the Ministry of Justice was leaked to the media. The report by the Office of Federal Prosecutor said the Police had no evidence to hang any charge on Saraki, in connection with the robberies in which 31 people were killed same day.

The police clarified the position of the federal prosector, Samuel Ogundipe:

It is incumbent on the Force to educate the writer of the story that the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) of the Federation in the legal advice did not restrain or restrict the Force from investigating further, the indictments against the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki and the Governor of Kwara State, Abdulfattah Ahmed by the principal suspects arrested in connection with the Offa bank robbery of 5April, 2018.

TheDPP advice did not exonerate the Senate President, it only called for further investigations into the matter

It is in the course of further investigations into the case that a letter of invitation dated 23July, 2018 was sent to the Senate President to appear on 24July, 2018 at 8.00am before the Investigation Team at Intelligence Response Team office, Guzape Junction, Abuja.

Consequently, the Force is hereby re-affirming that the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki has case to answer by virtue of the facts that the statements submitted by the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki earlier to the Investigation Team was not explicit and detailed enough, and was discovered to require further clarifications and interrogation, and coupled with the fact the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki in his statement, claimed that the full text of the statement of the suspects who indicted him in their confessional statements to the Police was not shown to him. It is therefore, imperative for the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki to report to the Police to make further statement after sighting the full text of the statement of the suspects.

Senate Majority Leader Ahmed Lawan has said members of the National Assembly who defected from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) will return to the party before the general elections in 2019.

Lawan made the comforting statement the party’s senators met President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

The lawmaker revealed that during the meeting which lasted for about 30 minutes, the President was briefed about the number of APC senators which he said was 53.

He added that the PDP has the largest minority with 48 members of the Senate while the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has two senators.

Senator Lawan noted that less than 24 hours after 14 of their colleagues defected from the APC, they have shown willingness to retrace their steps.

He revealed that while the defection was as a result of disagreements in the party, the defected lawmakers expect some members from the opposition party to join the ruling party.

The lawmaker representing Kaduna Central, Senator Shehu Sani, also attended the meeting, although he said it does not mean all his grievances have been addressed.

Sani was confident that the leadership of the party chaired by former Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole would be able to resolve all contending issues within the party.

Mr Oshiomhole, who also attended the meeting, told State House correspondents that those defected from the APC were misinformed.

John Abebe, the brother-in-law of former president Olusegun Obasanjo was remanded in Ikoyi Prison, Lagos today over an alleged forgery slammed against him by the the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Justice Mojisola Dada of the Special Offences Court sitting in Ikeja, Lagos ordered the remand after listening to a four-count charge of forgery, fabricating evidence, using fabricated evidence and attempt to pervert the course of justice.

One of the count reads: “That you, Dr. John Warimeme Abebe, on or about the 22nd day of June, 2010 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, knowingly forged BP Exploration Nigeria Limited’s letter dated 30th November,1995 to Inducon (Nigeria) Limited by inserting in page 2 of the said letter the following words: “Also note that the ‘Buy-Out Option’ only applies to the pre-production stage of the NPIA. The $4m buy-out is thus irrelevant from production of oil in any of our fields” and purported same to have been issued by BP Exploration Nigeria Limited and committed an offence contrary to Section 467 of the Criminal Code Cap C17, Law of Lagos State of Nigeria 2003.”

Another count reads: “That you, Dr. John Warimeme Abebe, on or about the 22nd day of June, 2010 in Lagos, within the jurisdiction of this Honourable Court, knowingly used a fabricated evidence in Suit No. FHC/L/CS/224/2010 Between Dr. John Abebe, Inducon Nigeria Limited And Statoil Nigeria Limited, before the Federal High Court, which evidence was admitted and marked exhibit BB in the said suit and committed an offence contrary to Section 120 (2) of the Criminal Code Cap C17, Law of Lagos State of Nigeria 2003.”

The defendant, who is late Stella Obasanjo’s brother, pleaded not guilty to the charge when it was read to him.

In view of his plea, Rotimi Oyedepo asked the court for a trial date and prayed for accelerated hearing.

“I urge your Lordship to invoke the spirit of Section 19 of the EFCC Act and I also pray your Lord to remand the defendant in prison custody.”

The defence counsel, Uche Nwokedi, SAN, however, informed the court of a bail application.

He also prayed the court to remand the defendant in the EFCC custody, pending the outcome of the bail application.

In his response, Oyedepo confirmed receipt of “the bundle of documents in court”, while the Judge was delivering a judgment (in another matter).

He, therefore, prayed for a short time to enable him respond to the application “because of certain allegations on oath that was deposed to.”

Consequently, Justice Dada adjourned the matter to August 2, 2018 and ordered the defendant to be remanded in Ikoyi prison custody pending the hearing of the bail application.

A founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the party’s deputy publicity secretary have offered a friendly advice to both Senate President Bukola Saraki and Speaker Yakubu Dogara: to quit APC without delay or be expelled.

Abu Ibrahim who is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Police Affairs and an ally of President Muhammadu Buhari and APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary Yekini Nabena gave the advice on Wednesday.

Ibrahim said the failure of Saraki and Dogara to leave the party would lead to their expulsion.

The Senator, who represents Katsina South Senatorial District, also said the plot to impeach President Buhari would have begun today (Thursday) as planned by some lawmakers.

Ibrahim, who appeared to have spoken the minds of other APC senators, said developments in and around the National Assembly clearly showed that Saraki and Dogara could no longer be trusted in the APC.

The expulsion calls came as President Buhari met last night with APC senators following Tuesday’s defection of 14 senators and 37 members of the House of Representatives from the party to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP and the African Democratic Congress (ADC).

With Senators Lanre Tejusoso and Adesoji Akanbi returning to APC, the APC now has 54 members as against PDP’s 48 in the Senate.

According to The Nation, Abu Ibrahim who is also chairman of Buhari Support Group, spoke in Abuja.

Speaking specifically about the defection of 14 senators and 37 House of Representatives members from the APC, Ibrahim said the defections were not only expected but did not come to him as a shock.

He said he concluded that no fewer than 13 senators would leave the APC.

He noted that the only defection he did not anticipate was Sokoto State Senator Abdullahi Danbaba’s.

I “I know that those who take Saraki like god will go. This is because wherever Saraki goes they will go. But the mistake they have made is not to realise that politics is local.

“Nobody will say Isa Misau and Suleiman Nazif (two Bauchi State senators) were voted because of Saraki. They were voted because of Buhari. They will lose their seats. Saraki will not save them. They can’t even go to their constituencies.”

On the speculation that some APC senators were quartered in a high profile hotel in Abuja on the night preceding Tuesday’s Senate plenary to plot change of leadership in the Senate, Ibrahim said: “I slept in my house. I was here in my office and left by 2pm. I was not quartered anywhere.”

He was categorical that the alleged plot to impeach President Buhari “would have started on Thursday (today)”

He said: “The impeachment of the President should have started Thursday. Everybody was planning. We knew they were planning.

“They realised and learnt that we knew. They knew that if they had remained up till today (Wednesday) a lot of things would have happened.

“We were planning. This is the National Assembly, the only place political parties meet. We were planning.

“Saraki and Dogara should resign today or the APC should send them away. They are no longer APC members.

“The only reason Saraki and Dogara have not left the APC is that they know that if they leave they will lose their seats. But we will force them to leave.

‘Left to me, I will recommend to APC to expel them. They are no longer needed in the party. We will be cured of cancer if they leave.

“Me as Abu Ibrahim, I am asking Saraki and Dogara to leave APC today. I will meet Oshiomhole (Adams) to expel them.”

Ibrahim insisted that the departure of Saraki and Dogara will not affect the electoral chances of APC.

He noted that if Saraki leaves APC, the party may lose Kwara and Kogi states and no more.

Ibrahim continued: “My position is that Saraki and Dogara should leave the APC. We can no longer trust or discuss APC issues with them again. We cannot afford to continue to harbour moles in our midst.

“Let people be courageous enough and be honest to themselves. We will not miss them.”

APC Deputy National Publicity Secretary Yekini Nabena, also called for an immediate expulsion of the Senate President.

In a statement, Nabena accused Saraki of being in cahoots with the defectors.

He said: “Being the ringleader, there was no justification for APC to continue to tolerate Saraki. He must go now. Or be shown the way out.”

Nabena, who said the party leadership and members were not surprised by the defections, said the people were rather shocked by Saraki’s utterances and body language.

“The news of the about 14 senators who defected from our party hardly came as a surprise to anyone. What, however, shocked political observers, especially democratic minds, was Senate President Bukola Saraki’s postures and expressions, which clearly communicated his unhidden complicity in the charade against his supposed party.

“Clearly, Saraki had a big hand in organising the events that transpired in the National Assembly. He has, therefore, lost the moral justification to remain in APC. The time to expel him from the party is now.”

Women cannot advance their dignity by using their beauty and sexuality. They are created as vessels of dignity already, therefore their sexuality or beauty cannot be used to advance themselves.

Text: Proverbs 31 v 10 - 31

Physical strength can be described in different ways. Beneath the female skin, women possess a source of power that even science has yet to fully understand. Women are better survivors than men. What’s more, they are born this way. Study has shown that under extreme conditions such as famines, epidemics and enslavement, women are able to survive for longer than men. See (Widow of Zarephath 1 Kings 17 v 7 – 16). Across modern populations, women outlive men in almost all instances. Out of the Worlds 43 oldest persons alive, 42 are women. Now adding the Supernatural Power of Christ to all the natural power in a woman, you have a Super Woman. Today, we shall be taking a look at Women of courage and character, strength and dignity who excelled wonderfully in the Bible and who did the female gender proud thousands of years before the likes of Funmilayo Ransome Kuti, Queen Amina warrior of Zazzau, Dora Akunyuli, Ameyo Adadevoh, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Oby Ezekwesili, Hillary Clinton and Angela Merkel.

Queen Vashti - Esther 1 v 10 – 18

King Ahasuerus, after their one week drinking festival decides that he wants to show off his wife's beauty, so he commands Queen Vashti to appear before his male guests. Given the king's drunkenness and the fact that all his male guests are likewise intoxicated, the assumption has often been that Vashti was commanded to show herself in the nude – wearing only her crown. Vashti receives the summons and refuses to comply. Her refusal is yet another clue to the nature of the king's command. Moral Lesson: - Vashti is a heroine in her own right. She refuses to debase herself before the king and his drunken friends, choosing to value her dignity above submitting to her husband's excesses. Vashti is seen as a strong character who does not use her beauty or sexuality to advance herself.

Esther: – Esther 2 v 1 – 23: - After Vashti came Esther, of Jewish heritage who played for and won King Ahasuerus's heart at the behest of her uncle Mordechai. It wasn't because she thought he was such a great dude; it was a strategic move to ensure the safety of the Jewish people. She did the unthinkable, approach the king without being summoned, exposed Haman’s conspiracy and by so doing saving the Jewish people of the Persian Empire.

Rahab: Fearless and Full of Faith: - Heb. 11:31; Joshua 2 v 1 – 21: - Rahab, a harlot chose to have faith and trust in God even though she didn’t know what would happen to her and her family. She had faith in God that He was in control. Rahab trusted in a God she did not know, she had only heard of the great things that our God did for his people. She trusted the spies to keep their word and spare her family and she trusted God to keep her safe. Rahab married an Israelite called Salmon who fathered Boaz, Boaz fathered Obed by Ruth, Obed fathered Jesse, and Jesse fathered King David. That puts Rahab in the line of King David!!!

Miriam: – Exodus 2 v 1 – 10: - Miriam penned an entire song in the Bible — the Song of the Sea (Exodus 15:19-21), incidentally, which was one of the most powerful songs about God's miracles that the Hebrews of old ever did hear. As Moses’s older sister, she watched over him when he was placed in a basket on the River Nile. The survival of the leader of the Exodus, Moses, depended on the courage and ingenuity of his sister Miriam. In the wilderness, she was their sole hookup for water. Because of God's fondness for Miriam, she was provided with a transportable well, which she shared with everyone.

Deborah: The Judge - Judges 4:5: - The only female judge mentioned in the entire Bible, Deborah, she practiced law under a palm tree. Deborah, like a true modern woman, also worked a few side jobs as a prophet and a warrior. Her multitasking was crucial, as the Israelites were, at the time, being oppressed by the people of Canaan. With a nudge from God, Deborah declared a revolt on Canaan, and correctly predicted that the Israelite would win the war.

Conclusion: - Women are built with power and made for resilience and persistence through tough times. Women of valor are fearless, full of faith, courageous, value their dignity with a strong character not using their sexuality or beauty to advance themselves. God values such women.

Water may not have an enemy but it is certainly not a ‘friend’ to all things. This is one stark reality that must have hit us at some point in life and sometimes that could come at huge cost. Many are the mobile phones that have been ruined by water even after they must have been subjected to heat [with the SIM card removed].

There is however a sure [and quick-fire] way of getting your phone to work perfectly well again after water must have entered into it. To do this, you must have a number of tools at hand; these include precision screwdrivers, toothbrush and methylated spirit.

To begin with, you should promptly remove the battery and SIM card(s) from the phone and then proceed to uncouple the phone. Now, gently take out the panel and clean it with the toothbrush that has been dipped into methylated spirit – the spirit will help to absorb the water and ensure quick evaporation. Thereafter, you should place the panel under the sun for a couple of minutes. With the panel fully ridded of water, you can bring the whole piece back together again and have fun using your phone.
