Yesterday, the President of Malawi, Peter Mutharika mocked prophet TB Joshua over the alleged prophecy that two southern Africa presidents would die before 1st of April.
In his wrods,: “I’m told there is a man in Nigeria called Joshua and he is saying that Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe and Peter Mutharika will die before April 1,” the Malawian president said on TV. “Let me tell you, Joshua… you will fail. What you did in 2012 will not happen again this year.
”
It was reported that in 2012, TB Joshua foretold the death of a southern African president, and Mutharika’s brother, who was the president at the said time, died within the timeframe given by the prophet. This earned the prophet strong footing in Malawi and he was even called a ‘spiritual father’ by former Malawian President Joyce Banda. But Peter Muthariak sees TB Joshua as a joke he even made reference to his building that collaps leaving 116 people Dead.
“Why did he not foretell this tragedy?” President Mutharika said of the Synagogue guest house collapse that led to the death of about 116 people, mostly southern Africans. “This all shows that he is a liar. He just wants to raise money.”
The Alumni of the Osun State University (UNIOSUN), Osogbo has rejected the renaming of the Institution by the State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola during.
The alumni declared that the renaming of the University after late Minister of Justice, Late Chief Bola Ige was immaterial at this point in time, urging the governor to reverse the action.
This was contained in a statement issued and signed by Oluwatosin Abikanlu and Otunde Adebowale, the President and Secretary-General of the Alumni respectively, and a copy was made available to newsmen on Sunday.
The statement noted that the alumni rejected the renaming after late Ige because Chief Bola Ige has nothing to do with the establishment of the University aside being a political leader in the State before he died in December 2001. Also, that the acronym of the UNIOSUN with the renaming of Bola Ige University (BIU) had also clashed with Benson Idahosa University (BIU).
The Alumni noted: “Renaming of the University of Osun State, popularly called UNIOSUN, after late Cicero of Esa-Oke and former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Late Chief Bola Ige at this point in time, is immaterial and misplacement of priority.
“Chief Bola Ige has nothing to do with the establishment of the University. Mr. Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola action on the development is political and confusing and also, against the wishes of the UNIOSUN-concerned stakeholders.
“The UNIOSUN is to bear the same acronym with Benson Idahosa University (BIU) after its renaming as Bola Ige University (BIU). As Alunmi of the UNIOSUN, we are totally rejected the renaming of UNIOSUN because Mr. Aregbesola has failed to perform its constitutional duty in financing the University as its Visitor.
“We are ready to approach the Court of competent Jurisdiction for redress if Governor Rauf Adesoji Aregbesola is NOT reversing the University to the status quo,” they noted.
It will be recalled that the Osun state University, Osogbo was renamed to Bola Ige University, Osogbo by the state governor recently during UNIOSUN 4th and 5th convocation ceremony.

A Federal High Court sitting in Benin, Edo State, has sentenced one
Favour Eboigbe, to 10 years imprisonment for trafficking six girls to
Burkina Faso for prostitution.
Eboigbe was arraigned on 12 counts before Justice A. A. Okeke for child trafficking.
It was gathered that the 37-year-man was arrested outside the country
by officials of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking
in Persons in Edo in 2009, following a tip off.
The victims, who were between the ages of 15 and 21 years, were taken to the NAPTIP shelter after they were rescued.
Eboigbe had pleaded not guilty to the offence, which was said to be
contrary to Sections 15a, 16 and 19b of the Trafficking in Persons
(Prohibition) Law Enforcement and Administration Act, 2003, as amended.
Justice Okeke, however, sentenced him to a 10-year jail term, when the case resumed on February 29, 2016.
Meanwhile, the Benin Zonal Command of NAPTIP said that it has
successfully rescued 1,200 girls in Edo State since 2004 and secured 55
convictions.
Men of the Nigerian Police force have rescued three girls abducted
from Babington Macaulay Junior Seminary (BMJS), Ikorodu, Lagos.
According to security sources, the girls were rescued during an overnight raid.
The kidnappers were also arrested

was scheduled to fight for history. Two UFC titles around one waist.
That was the 27-year-old’s intention as he pushed his promoter, Zuffa,
to a place it had never gone before.
McGregor captured the featherweight belt from long-reigning José Aldo
in 13 seconds late last year. It was an incredible thing to witness –
timing, speed and power meeting a moment – and a massive moneymaker for
the UFC and Mystic Mac, who has called many of his shots. Off the
strength of his results and charisma, UFC
heeded McGregor’s call and matched its 145lb champion against its 155lb
champion, Rafael dos Anjos, with the lightweight belt on the line.
It looked very much like McGregor asked for and received the toughest
challenge he could find, a highly admirable trait among champion
prizefighters, and then the rock steady Brazilian cracked his left foot
on the knee of a sparring partner 15 days before the 5 March
pay-per-view contest at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
One day after news broke that Dos Anjos couldn’t compete, the UFC
nimbly salvaged McGregor’s spot on the card by announcing he would fight
Nate Diaz 25lbs above his championship weight. Diaz has already fought
at welterweight several times, and is the naturally bigger guy.
Unquestionably the switch in opponent remains a significant test for
McGregor, who is likely to be next to challenge welterweight champion
Robbie Lawler, possibly this summer at UFC 200, if action falls in his
favor on the weekend. If it does not, McGregor may have to forget
scaling weight classes for a stretch and retreat to featherweight, where
a hard weight cut once again becomes an issue.
“People who don’t take risks will never climb to that next level,”
McGregor said. “I take risks all the time. Every single fight I take
risks.”
<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- bonds --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-7654426148729193" data-ad-slot="1846664264" data-ad-format="auto"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script>As with most of McGregor’s contests, much of the outcome can be
pinned on the mental state of things. He tried to force himself on Diaz
since the inception of this fight and the veteran from Stockton,
California, has generally had one response: let’s fight. [Bleep.]
There’s not much on the mental warfare front that Diaz hasn’t
encountered over the course of his career. At the age of 30, Diaz’s
experience and prevailing attitude about things should buffer him
against McGregor’s mind games. It’s hard to know if walking out of a
live television interview on CNBC was Diaz’s reaction to McGregor’s
antics, if he simply didn’t give a damn about what they were talking
about and decided to leave, or if the pressure of the moment is getting
to him.
In the cage, Diaz – McGregor’s so-called “gazelle” – should feel no
need to rush out the gate. McGregor responds amazingly well when
opponents try to force themselves on him. When Diaz is on, he
establishes momentum over the course of a fight. He should make the
Irish lion come to him in the early stages. For all his earned
reputation as a scrapper, Diaz isn’t opposed to biding his time in
dissembling the opposition. He certainly presents different tactics for
McGregor to interpret than a steamroller like Dos Anjos, who easily
decisioned Diaz at 155 the end of 2014.
Diaz
relies on his length and output, and at his best mixes stinging punches
with a dangerous submission game. If there’s a clear advantage for Diaz
in the contest it comes on the floor. McGregor tapped twice to
submissions in 21 fights, and Diaz, the bigger, stronger grappler, has
proven capable of catching anyone.
Asked on Thursday if he would go after McGregor (19-1) on the ground,
Diaz (18-10) kept it simple: “We’re going to fight and find out.”
That suits McGregor fine. The featherweight champion explained he’s
eager to test Diaz’s hittable yet sturdy chin, and can be expected to
attack the taller fighter’s “soft” body.
McGregor brings heavy hands, though there’s some mystery if the
additional weight will help or hurt him in this department. Without a
weight cut, so long as he stays loose – one of his best attributes as a
fighter – McGregor’s speed and technique should produce damaging shots.
In his last five fights the 5ft 8in Irishman made a sizable living
eating up opponents around his height – Aldo 5ft 7in; Chad Mendes 5ft
6in; Dennis Siver 5ft 7in; Dustin Poirier 5ft 9in; Diego Brandao 5ft
7in. The only decision win of McGregor’s career came against 5ft 11in
Hawaiian Max Holloway in 2013 – McGregor tore his ACL in that fight – so
the challenge here against the 6ft Diaz shouldn’t be dismissed.
Unknown in this instance, against a taller and rangier opponent, is
how capably he’ll find the distance to land with power. McGregor throws a
long left straight, but it may not be long enough and that could prompt
him to reach. He’ll need to close the gap and this is where Diaz,
despite McGregor’s assertion that the lanky boxer fights like a novice,
can pepper away with jabs and short hooksConor McGregor and Nate Diaz nearly come to blows at UFC 196 press conference – video" data-video-poster="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/audio/video/2016/3/4/1457090165523/KP_1821506_crop_640x480.jpg" data-video-provider="@DarrMurphy / Twitter">

Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz nearly come to blows at UFC 196 press conference
“You seem to have it all figured out when you’re fighting midgets,” sniped Diaz.
After gloating on fight week of eating as he pleased, of enjoying
brunch in the back of his Rolls-Royce, McGregor might say he has it
figured out all the time.
“It’s certainly been enjoyable,” McGregor said. “It’s been different
to wake up and have the choice of food and to be able to eat out. This
feels like spar to me. This will feel like a spar to me when I go in on
Saturday night. There’s no adjustment. I’m just going to be who I am.”
Women’s UFC bantamweight champion Holly Holm (10-0) many not lurch to
the horizon like McGregor, but she’s reached the highest levels too.
The talented and steady Holm became the only fighter defending his or
her title on Saturday when Dos Anjos fell aside, and yet McGregor’s star
has emitted most of the light ahead of UFC 196. Holm might have
otherwise encountered more attention in the lead up to the first defense
of the belt she ripped from Ronda Rousey in December, and she’s glad to
keep things simple.
If the fighter who tuned up Rousey in Australia shows up against
Miesha Tate, if Holm was truly holding back in previous UFC bouts
against the likes of Raquel Pennington and Marion Reneau, then the
29-year-old challenger should be in for a rough night.
“I’m a messy fighter,” Tate said with a smile. “I will do whatever it
takes to win this fight. If I don’t allow her to be at just that
perfect range to land those perfect strikes this could be a very ugly
fight for her.”
Tate
(17-5) is a well prepared mixed martial artist and adept grapple but
she has relied on her resilience on too many occasions, and over time
the ability to endure punishment becomes an indication of a limited
competitor more than anything else. That would seem to be the case here,
especially against the trained-up 34-year-old champion from
Albuquerque, New Mexico. Considering Holm’s success handling previous
titles during her time as a boxer and kickboxer, this wouldn’t appear to
be too big a moment for her. Thanks for reading.
