President Muhammadu Buhari said his government has sent more troops and surveillance aircraft to the entire North East territory on a 24-hour basis, to recover the schoolgirls abducted from the Government Girls Technical College, Dapchi in Yobe State.

President Buhari said this today as he also gave assurance to the families of the students abducted on Monday by Boko Haram insurgents, almost four years after a similar abduction of 275 schoolgirls from Chibok Girls Secondary School, in Borno State.

The Nigerian leader said no effort will be spared to bring succour to the Dapchi girls and the parents. “Our government is sending more troops and surveillance aircraft to keep an eye on all movements in the entire territory on a 24-hour basis, in the hope that all the missing girls will be found,” President Buhari said.

“When I received the devastating news of the attack on the school and the fact that the local authorities could not account for all the students, I immediately dispatched a high-level delegation on a fact-finding visit to the town. I also instructed the security agencies to deploy in full and not spare any effort to ensure that all the girls are returned safely, and the attackers arrested and made to face justice. “The entire country stands as one with the girls’ families, the government and the people of Yobe State. This is a national disaster. We are sorry that this could have happened and share your pain. We pray that our gallant armed forces will locate and safely return your missing family members”.

TEXT: 1 Kings 19 v 1 – 8

The journey to the mountain of God is a believer’s walk of faith to achieve divine purpose, fulfilment and spiritual achievement. According to our Bible text, Elijah’s walk to the mountain Horeb highlights some very important spiritual decisions and activities that we need to take which at the end helps us move closer to God. We pray tonight as we study, the Holy Spirit will enlighten us and move us closer to our Mountain of fulfilment in Jesus Name.

Your Mountain Horeb Could be :

Deliverance from affliction and infirmity. Mark 2 v 4 -5
Deliverance from barrenness. 1 Samuel 1 v 5 – 11
Deliverance from your enemies. 1 Kings 19 v 3
Deliverance from poverty. 1 Chron. 4 v 10
Deliverance from self. Rom. 7 v 24; 1 Cor. 15 v 31; Rom. 8 v 13

How do we now get to our Mount Horeb? You Must- Flee from every appearance of evil. 1 Kings 19 v 2 – 3; 1 Thess. 5 v 22 – 24

Elijah ran away from the appearance of evil jezebel into the scheme of things - Drop every baggage and hindrance on your way. 1 Kings 19 v 3; Heb. 12 v 1

Elijah left his servant on the way. Abraham left Lot. You too can leave anything that will not let you close to your Horeb of fulfillment. - Go the extra mile for God. 1 Kings 19:3a; 1 kings 3:3-4; 2 Sam. 24:24; Mk 12:41

After leaving his servant, he still traveled a days extra journey. In giving God, go the extra mile. Until Hannah went the extra mile in her prayer samson did not come. - Humble yourself. 2 Chron. 7 v 14; 1 kings 19 v 4c;

Remember the Lord has respect unto the lowly. Don’t carry yourself in pride. Be humble to everyone you meet. - Eat the Word of God. 1 kings 19 :5-6; Psalm. 119:103; Ezekiel. 3 v 3; Rev. 10:10; Jeremiah. 15:16

Ezekiel ate the Word of God, Jeremiah did, David also and so should you. Its only then rivers of living water shall flow from our belly. John 7:38 - Don’t be lazy; seek God’s Word for Strength. 1 Kings 19 v 8; Ephesians. 3 v 16 - Seclude yourself, be separate. 1 kings 19 v 9; 2 Cor. 6:17 - Have discernment of Spirit. 1 Kings 19 v 9; 11 – 13

Elijah still heard the voice of God even after the earthquake and storm. The voice of God is sweet and consoling; like a gentle breeze, only a man of spiritual discernment can hear. - Be very Jealous for God. 1 kings 19 v 10; John 2 v 16-17; Ps. 69 v 9; Num. 11 v 28 – 29;
Luke 9 v 53 – 54 - Be still and silent. Psalm 46 v 10

In conclusion, remember that whatever your hope , aspirations or expectations are, you are most likely going to go through the Horeb experience in terms of achieving your Godly divine purpose and at the end may we all make Heaven in Jesus Mighty Name, AMEN.

Shalom!!!

According to Wikipedia, A cryptocurrency (or crypto currency) is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange that uses cryptography to secure its transactions, to control the creation of additional units, and to verify the transfer of assets.

Bitcoin is the most popular Cryptocurrency and the most capped, see Coin Market Cap. The current price of Bitcoin as of this writing is $15,166.20 / per coin, that is N5, 565, 995.4 (Five Million Naira, Five Hundred and Sixty Five Thousand, Nine Hundred and Ninety Five Naira and Four Kobo) at N367 Per Dollar. You must agree with me that this amount will reduce the number of buyers from many 3rd world countries including Nigeria. Since the entry price of Bitcoin is too high, and I have missed the train, what can i do?

Did you know there are 1385 Cryptocurrencies available, see Coin Market Cap and their returns is nothing short of unimaginable or insane permit me to use that word.

According to Quartz, bitcoin made a return on Investment of 1318% in 2017.

Other Cryptocurrencies with their returns are:

• Ripple - Returns in 2017 - 36,018%. Price was almost 0.006 Cents in January. Today it is $3.70 Dollars (Three Dollars). In September, 2017, it was 0.18 Cents and I bought 120 Units for only $21 Dollars. If i had bought 500 Units at $150 Dollars, i would have $1500 Dollars today in 3 months. More to Buying later.

• NEM - Returns - 29,842% - Current Price - $1.88

• ARDOR - Returns - 16,809% - Current Price - $1.89

• Stellar - Returns - 14,441% - Current Price - $0.887749

• Dash - Returns - 9, 265% - Current Price - $1,142.11

• Ethereum - Returns - 9, 162% - Current Price - $959.24

• Golem - Returns - 8, 434% - Current Price - $1.17

• Binance Coin - Returns - 8, 061% - Current Price - $9.21

• Litecoin - Returns - 5, 046% - Current Price - $233.08

• Omisego - Returns - 3, 315% - Current Price - $20.25

• Bitcoin - Returns - 1, 318% - Current Price - $15,030.00

Others not listed in the top ten are:

• TRON - Returns - 106% in 24 Hrs - Current Price - $0.158467

• Cardano - Returns - 35.53% in 24 hrs - Current Price - $1.30

As you can see, bitcoin returned the lowest in 2017 as compared to other crytocurrencies. Ironically, Bitcoin is the highest in price, but lowest in returns. Please see QZ for more details.

For latest price, please see Coin Market Cap because prices are volatile and might have changed from the date of this writing.

So to the main discussion. How can i partake in this returns and buy these coins in their infancy permitted i can wait for at least a month to see real profit?

First of all, register on Luno. Luno is a South African company that buys and sell Bitcoin. They only offer Bitcoin and Ethereum on their platform. They have a Bitcoin exchange as well. The most interesting thing is that they allow deposit with your local Naira Master Card and also permit Withdrawals to your local bank account.

After registering on Luno, proceed to register on:

• Unfortunately Bittrex has stopped registerations because of the high number of requests they're having. See Bittrex Support Page

• Okex

• Binance

Don't worry, they all accept Nigerians. After registering on these platforms, proceed to Luno and Buy Ethereum. Don't buy Bitcoin, Ethereum is faster to transfer than Bitcoin.

Transferring cryptos is very risky and most times fraught with errors with users losing money, but careful approach and due diligence to details will help you in the long run. Why is this so? Simply because cryptocurrencies use the wallet address system to transfer from an exchange to another or from systems to systems. An e.g. address could look like this: 3x84je83ewejw934j3483e93je9ejderkremo84orjwWq, simply missing out one character will amount to funds been lost. So be very CAREFUL.

So you would be buying Ethereum on Luno.com and then transferring to either Okek.com or Binance.com. Also there are 7503 exchanges and markets in which you can register and then transfer your Cryptos to, provided the exchage allows for the trading of any cryptocurrency of your choice. See the list to choose from HERE

In order to transfer value in the form of a cryptocurrency, from one exchange to another, you need to generate an address on the destination exchange that will receive your funds when transfer is complete. All exchanges allow you generate a unique address, more or less like an account number to receive funds.

In Nigeria at the moment, one cannot talk about a Nigerian referendum without bringing Biafra into the picture as the embers of events leading to the civil war in the 70's appears to be re-ignited. But beyond this (Biafra matter), referendum is an act that could have a far-reaching effect, and countries that are truly democratic in setting, have employed this in addressing specific issues of national concern.

So, there lies the question: What is a Referendum? – According to Encyclopedia.com; A referendum is a form of direct democracy in which the entire electorate votes to accept or reject a policy proposal. The given definition has two key components I will like to highlight: ‘the Electorate’ and ‘Policy’. These two (elements) have a tremendous influence on the eventual outcome of the vote- the electorate is been expected to response to the question raised in the referendum by simply choosing to accept or reject.

A referendum is more like seeking a mutual avenue to end a ‘dispute’: putting one forward does not necessarily mean acceding to defeat plus there is no certainty that the victory will sway to one side or another until the votes are counted. However, it is important to state here that the state here that whatever move that is being must not be done without the state legislature’s involvement. In other words, referendum can only be permitted within the ambit of the law. Failure to do this will be tantamount to committing treason.

Now, focusing the lens on Nigeria; it would be injudicious to solely pin the word ‘Referendum’ to Biafra and the activities of IPOB- a scenario that borders on secession. The concept behind referendum is obviously broader than that, and there are a whole lot of issues that can be tackled through referendums. Again, we seem to sort of see referendum in ‘bad light’ in this part of the world so much that a special assistant to the president once put objectivity to the swords by limiting referendum to the Biafra situation. But far from it; the practice, if intently pursued, can help us correct some maladies that are apparent in the nation’s polity since it provides the avenue for the electorate to free express their opinions.

However, the ‘sad truth’ is that there is no such provision in the Nigerian constitution. So, before we can have a Nigerian referendum, there has to be a constitutional review. But who will ‘bell the cat’, and move the notion for the inclusion of referendum in the constitution?
If we are to progress as a truly democratic- with no inkling of dictatorship- nation then the electorate have got to be involved in [a more profound manner] in the decision-making process- not just the general election- especially as it regards passing certain laws.

The Nigerian referendum is not just about Biafra, and should not be limited to that. More so, considering the fact that some of the edicts that are presently in effect were triggered during the military regime, it is necessary to mastermind a means of reviewing some of those policies thus setting the tone for a restructured Nigeria- as such, referendums should be evoked to have this done. Besides, allowing referendums to take place will certainly quell many agitations that have without the use of force rising over the years as we get to reach a point where we agree to disagree.

@Seun85 said in Re: [Review of Always Ultra](lady care & Diva sanitary Pads):

Thank you Fola2034 for your review. I would however like to know what premise you used in getting to the conclusion you got. You obviously must have sampled quite a number of female teenagers and women to be able to arrive at this conclusion. I would however like to disagree with you on your summation of whatever survey you carried out as Diva is in no competition with any sanitary pad and we always pride ourselves as producing quality and standard products that can be used conveniently by both the young and the old. I will advice you review your survey again.

Thanks @Seun85 for your comment.

The comment wasn't @Fola2304 but user comments sampled. We do not give judgments but let users have the final say.

We will do as you've advised and carry out a survey again.

Thanks.
