“You don’t call yourself a leader and walk out every time there is a provocation or you can’t control the situation.
“You are not fit for leadership when you keep quitting. To me, that is petty I don’t work with sensitive people” Mike said in response.

Joseph Odey, 26, an indigene of Yala Local Government Area of Cross River, on Wednesday, August 14th protested the non-payment of his late father’s gratuity valued at N13 million, threatening to commit suicide if the government delays further.
Odey, who spoke to journalists during his protest at the governor’s office in Calabar, said his deceased father, Anthony Odey, served the Cross River Government for 32 years. He added that his father’s last post, was Principal of Government Secondary School, Ebo in Yala Local Government Area of Cross River. According to him, his father died on Dec.12, 2015, three years before his retirement from service.
“Following his sad death, I commenced processing the papers for payment of his benefits, completed it in 2017 and received official approval in January 2018.
After waiting for another year and no payment was made to my family by the government, I approached the accountant-general of the state about the matter but he told me that no payment was being considered.
“He added that there was a backlog of pending payments stretching back to 2014, all awaiting the governor’s approval. Following this disclosure, I have attempted several times to bring this issue to the governor’s attention, but failed as all messages to that effect were not answered.
“My late father’s gratuity is N13 million and I have the blueprint which I got from the Office of the Accountant- General of the state. My family has been facing hard times since the death of our father who was the breadwinner of the family.
“My two immediate younger sisters at different levels of study in the university are on the verge of dropping out, while the third who passed WAEC and JAMB exams this year faces an uncertain future due to our financial incapacitation”, he said.
He appealed to Governor Ben Ayade to ensure the settlement of the gratuity to enable his siblings to live a decent life. The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Christian Ita, said the present administration inherited a backlog of gratuities from 2013 while reacting to Odey’s protest.
He said the payments for 2013 had been concluded while the ones for 2014 were being paid in batches.
“The state would definitely pay, what is delaying the payment is a function of money, but it will pay since the young man has gone through the whole process with the office of the accountant-general”, he said.

A former housemate of the 2017 edition of the Big Brother Naija reality TV Show, Gifty Powers has taken to her instastories to say the show is unfair and connection is needed to keep one in the house.
Gifty said this while reacting to the various strikes issued to the current set of housemates in the house.
The reality TV star frowned at the fact that Seyi who had previously ‘cursed’ Thelma on the show faced no penalty for his action when the previous edition saw Kbrule and Khloe earn a disqualification for the same action.
She wrote ;
I feel this is cheating and unfair.
One of Biggie’s rules is NO CURSING (strike).
Exactly what happened to Kbrule and Khloe, they were disqualified because of that.
But in the case of Seyi, he cursed Thelma and Ike but was never given a strike or a warning.
Imagine Buhari’s son or Davido going for BBN.
That is why i talk say BBN na all about connection and who get people to put you in the game.
Activist Reno Omokri has added his knowledge to Maraji’s post of Jesus being the only way to heaven and he stated that Jesus is not God.
He wrote;
Let me shock you. Yeshua came to show us the Way to God because He, Yeshua, is the ONLY Way to God. He is the everlasting Melchizedek High Priest. The Mediator between God and man. But He is NOT the Almighty God. That is a European concept.
Yeshua never claimed to be God. Many Christians read John 1:1 in The Bible (not the Scriptures) and use that to claim that Yeshua is God. I will urge you to get the original Greek Scriptures (see the attached picture) and even if you can’t read Greek, just study that verse. This is the verse in pure Greek (?ν ?ρχ? ?ν ? λ?γος, κα? ? λ?γος ?ν πρ?ς τ?ν θε?ν, κα? θε?ς ?ν ? λ?γος). Here is the verse in Latin, which may be easier for laymen (In principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum). Notice the words DEUM and DEUS are used to describe the first and second mention of God.
Although you may not be able to read the Greek, what John 1:1 says when translated without changing the words used for God is this “in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with Theon and the Word was Theos”. The original Scriptures did not use the same word for the first mention of God and the second mention. The word used in the first mention is THEON (which refers to the Almighty. The word in the second mention is THEOS which is what is used to refer to Yeshua.
This is why Scripture says “my people perish for lack of knowledge”-Hosea 4:6.
