Hello,

I wanted to be sure about your intentions. Congratulations to your grand father, he was likely a very noble man. From what I see, this is a quite advanced protection tool. There are many different languages there, including french and persian arabic. I fail to see how you can use it for anything else but divine protection and mercy.

There are divine attributes listed there and powerful curses against anybody trying to harm.

I also believe your grand father loved you so much.

Greetings baba.

Thank you for this contribution sir. I’m grateful. As a matter of fact, you are right about the meaning of scared circle and it’s attributes because I only shared one half of this spiritual tool and other half showed exactly the real interpretation of the whole Seal at large. I would be glad to share the other half with you if you permit me. Having gone through some of your thread on this platform, I believe you can be helpful in spiritual guidance (Understanding & Practice). I want to know if it’s wise to thread in my late grandpa spiritual route because I also believe in spiritual inclination. There were dreams I used to experience when I was a boy that I couldn’t interpret or shared with anyone. I also believe that I have some abilities which I don’t even know how to put into proper use because of lack of mentorship and guidance. Thank you again for time. May wisdom never desert you.

LoJ:

Hello,

I have an idea about what this is, BUT I may be able to better help if you guide more context to it:

- Which spiritual groups did your grand pa adhere to (or identified with) ?
- How many languages could he speak?

And more importantly,

- Why do you want to know this, if your grand pa didn't tell you himself?

Thanks for your response.

As far as i can remember, he was an Anglican christian and also a member of Reformed Ogboni Confraternity (APENA).


I believe he could speak foreign languages like French, German and Spanish.


Well, he died when i was 9years old, and i can still remember that before his death, there was a sacred room that only my grandfather, myself and our maid(Male) were allowed to enter. Also, i have assisted him to carry a unique type of Sword (His name boldly written on the sword)to particular house whenever he was having special ceremony with his Ogboni members in our town. Infact ,during a special festival in my home town, i was also the only one that used to carry the same sword with HIM to meet with the Oba of our town. Strangely, before the age of 10, i was taken away from home without his consent and before i came back @ age 10, he had died. And after his demise, I didn’t come back home after 25years. So, he didn’t tell me much about himself or the usefulness of the spiritual items he left behind, infact, some have been looted already, but i was able to lay my hands on some stuff and his spiritual item catalogue

Thanks for your response. If i may ask, what is the main function?

Hi people of knowledge, I came across this Sacred circle while going through my late grandfather's spiritual items, I'd be glad if anyone with spiritual knowledge can interpret it. I would really appreciate your contribution. Thanks

Some people will soon come here and lament why the man gave such expensive car to his pastor. People who are paying tithe and blessing pastors with gifts know what they are getting in return, attempts to stop them from giving would only result in futile exercise.
Kid Freeze and other haters will find this offensive as ussual but nothing they can do about it.
A worker deserve his wages and our pastors are deserving of our gifts or material blessings.

WHEN YOU SEE PEOPLE DOING SOMETHING REPEATEDLY DESPITE CRITISM FROM DIFFERENT QUATERS THEN SOMETHING SHOULD TELL YOU THERE IS/ARE REASON(S) BEHIND IT.

Nothing special is behind it except the fact that, it is a strategy to attract more gullible African species to donate their hard earned money to for the growth of the ministry. African don suffer walai. "INTELLECTUAL LAZINESS"

I wonder why everybody is complaining about slave trade in Africa as if it is a new thing. We are all slaves in Africa. The white people will just be laughing at us right now. Some African countries still need recolonization including Nigeria. it is unfortunate, we don't know what to do after we have gained independent. The followers will be crying of bad leadership as Africa problem forgetting that, there can never be leaders without followers. African citizens should blame themselves more for inactions, for being too docile about the happenings on the continent. Shame on AFricans! Shame on Africans!!

Another publicity stunt,since we ended the last year with the Adelekes 's Dele Momodu melodrama at the airport and ushered in the new year back to back with iyalaiya enybody:l knew that we are in for a lotta stunts this year. This guy never wanted to commit suicide, suicide is a choice u arrived at when u cannot bear with the brunt of living any longer,suicide is not for chicken-hearted, it requires guts & steel iron balls to carry out,two qualities Mr Tee Bliz did not possess. Abeg who announces his intention to commit suicide on lG? Or who will drive all the way to the Lekki bridge to do so -knowing fully well that there will always be people around that will disuade him. If his intention really was to commit suicide all he has to do is to get about 30 tablets of Valium and water it down with 's 50cl of Chelsea dry gin. Or better still, get a N10 poly bag, put it his head inside and tie it tightly around his neck:secure the door from inside and turn on the soundsystem volume to the max. By breathing in his own CO, death will come calling in 20mins Max.These are effective and cheap ways of having an appointment with St Peter and not a publicity stunt.

Buhari justifies reluctance to interfere

The prospect of peaceful resumption in the two chambers of the National Assembly today was, yesterday, being clouded by uncertainty despite trouble shooting efforts that were still in the works at press time last night.

It was feared last night that should the peace efforts fail, the brawl that smeared the last sitting of the House of Representatives last month could replay itself and spread to the Senate on the resumption of the two chambers today.

The fears were upon the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari to decisively reconcile the two camps of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in the House at a meeting he summoned, yesterday evening. Before the failed meeting by the President which ended last night without a breakthrough, meetings by APC governors to reconcile the party’s brawling camps in the Senate also failed to produce a major result.

Ahead of the meeting with the President in the villa, yesterday, the Yakubu Dogara-led leadership of the House issued a stern warning of possible sanctions against trouble makers who may decide to run riot in the chambers today. The ad-hoc committee on Code of Conduct warned that any member that exhibits any act capable of disrupting the sitting would face severe sanctions.

The meeting with Buhari

At the meeting in the villa, the President appealed to the two camps led by Speaker Dogara and Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila, who was defeated in the leadership contest, to sheathe their swords and project the interests of the party. He pleaded with the members to heed the party’s positions on the issues, a stance that was immediately lapped up by Gbajabiamila, who is being projected by his camp to become the House Leader. That quest is, however, opposed by the mainstream of the House led by Dogara on the claim that it would infringe on the principle of federal character given that the Deputy Speaker of the House, Rep. Yusuf Lasun is also from the same Southwest zone as Gbajabiamila.

Coming out from the meeting, some members apparently divided in their interests wore looks of anxiety.

Those who spoke said that the President asked the House leadership to toe the party’s line in appointing principal officers.

However, Dogara and Gbajabimaila told State House correspondents that they were optimistic the problem would be resolved soon.

It’s a family affair— Gbaja

The first to speak was Gbajabiamila, who said that the meeting was a family affair.

“We had a family meeting. We spoke heart to heart. The President was very forthright. It was basically on party supremacy. I believe that by the end of the day, before the end of this night, you guys will know the outcome. We are still talking. But I think this is the first time everybody is coming together in a cordial atmosphere as one family. I think we are almost at the point where all of these will be behind us.”

We’ll pull through— Oyegun

Also speaking, National Chairman of APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun said that hopes were bright that the party would pull through.



“Everything is up. You can see I am smiling. You will be very surprised. A lot was achieved in 20 minutes. You can see the Speaker of the House standing firmly by me. In another three, four hours, we will have good news for the nation. It is never too late to strengthen the past”, he said.

I stand by the party — Dogara

In his comment, Dogara said he had always stood by the party.

“I have always been by the party. There has never been a time that I never stood firmly by the party. So, like my chairman has explained, sooner or later we will have good news for Nigerians,” he said.

Following the meeting in the Villa, the President asked Oyegun to iron out the issues with the two camps. That meeting was yet to commence at press time.

Sources in the Dogara camp buoyed by the increasing strength of the group upon the depletion of the Gbajabiamila group pledged that the limit the group would offer to Gbajabiamila would be a juicy committee position and not the House Leader, he and his group have demanded.

However, following the villa meeting, the Dogara camp resolved to concede two of the principal officer positions, House Leader and Chief Whip to the Gbajabiamila group, while the Dogara camp would do with the deputy leader and deputy chief whip. A source in the Dogara camp said that the group had offered the position of House Leader to Alhassan Dogowa from Kano State and Chief Whip to Pally Iriase from Edo State.

The deputy leader position is to be filled by Buba Jibrin from Kogi State and deputy chief whip by Chike Okafor from Imo State.

The statement of caution against violence on the floor signed by Rep. Aminu Shehu Shagari, Chairman, House Ad-hoc Committee on Code of Conduct, explained that the committee had been mandated to act as Standing Committee on Ethics and Privileges.

Cautions against violence

The statement read in part: “The Adhoc Committee on Code of Conduct of the House of Representatives hereby welcomes members from their working recess.

“Members may wish to note that the committee has been saddled with the responsibility of carrying out the functions of the Standing Committee on Ethics and Privileges.

“As we resume plenary on Tuesday 28, July 2015 (today), the committee wishes to call on all members to conduct themselves in an orderly manner. The committee will no longer tolerate any unruly behaviour by any member of the House no matter how highly placed.

“Members who have grievances are advised to explore peaceful avenues of seeking redress instead of resorting to violence on the floor of the House or the precincts of the National Assembly.

“There are adequate sanctions in place to penalise any member who may want to disrupt the peace during plenary, Committee meetings or other legislative functions of the House.

“The House will deal decisively with any member who violates the rules, disrupts plenary, or is found wanting of misconduct and other sundry offences.

“Members are admonished to demonstrate high standards of ethics consistent with the important role of Lawmaking and the 8th Assembly Legislative Agenda, which places emphasis on the well-being of the Nigerian people. We should all be guided accordingly.”

Buhari justifies reluctance to interfere

Earlier, yesterday morning, the President had justified his reluctance to interfere in the crisis in the National Assembly on the basis of separation of powers.

The prospects of peace were also clouded in the Senate which has also been rocked by internal schism following the emergence of Senator Bukola Saraki as Senate President.

Sources disclosed that the troubleshooting efforts of Governors Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State and Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State also failed to reconcile the two APC factions in the Senate respectively led by Saraki and Senator Ahmad Lawan.

C’ttee efforts derailed

A source disclosed that the Oshiomhole–Bagudu committee efforts were derailed after separate meetings with the two camps termed the Senate Unity Forum (SUF) loyal to Lawan and the Like Minds loyal to Saraki failed to produce peace.

The SUF, according to sources, was adamant that Saraki and his deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu should step down as Senate President.


The Like Mind senators, it was also gathered, were also planning their offensive through a scheme to suspend six members of the Lawan group from the Senate at today’s session. The basis of their suspension, it was being speculated, was upon their alleged sponsorship of a petition to the police alleging forgery of the Senate Standing Rules, which is said to be an infringement of Senate standing orders against the externalisation of the internal affairs of the Senate.

The Lawan led group, on the other hand, is also said to be mobilising to counteract any plan to suspend any one of their members at today’s sitting.

Meanwhile, as a way of nipping the crisis in the bud, the Oshiomhole-Bagudu committee, it was gathered, had recommended that the Senate leadership should offer juicy committee positions to the Lawan group as a way of mollifying the angst of its members.

Following their interactions, the two governors, yesterday, briefed the President in the presidential villa on the outcome of their intervention.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/07/nass-leadership-crisis-uncertainty-as-senate-house-resume-today/

Senators opposed to the leadership of the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, on Monday filed a fresh suit at Federal High Court in Abuja, seeking the nullification of the inauguration of the 8th Senate carried out by the management of the National Assembly, on June 9.

The senators are operating on the platform of a group called Senate Unity Forum.

A member of the group, who confirmed the development to one of our correspondents on conditions of anonymity, explained that one of their prayers was that the court should declare the inauguration of the 8th Senate as well as the election of the presiding officers as null and void.


He said the group, based on the revelations in the police report on the alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Order 2015, was of the view that the document used for the inauguration and the election were fake.

He added that the group expected the state to commence a criminal prosecution against person and persons indicted in the alleged forgery scandal to serve as deterrent to others.

He said, “We are doing this in the interest of our great country because anybody or group of people could wake up one day and conspire to ammend the Nigerian Constitution without following due process, if the current case of forgery scandal is not acted upon”

Attempts to speak with the spokesperson for the SUF, Senator Kabir Marafa, on the issue were futile as he did not pick calls made to his line on Monday night while text messages also sent to him were not responded to.

Meanwhile, some senators on Monday, cautioned against any criminal prosecution against anyone indicted by the police in the amendments made to the Senate Rules 2015.

For instance, Senator Shehu Sanni, (APC Kaduna-Central) cautioned against any action that would lead to the arrest of the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, because doing so would be counter-productive.

He said that if for any reason Ekweremadu was removed, the Senate may continue to witness stern opposition as the APC alone cannot form the required quorum to pass bills.

He said, “Evicting him will trigger another issue. We have to learn to live with what we have for the smooth running of the senate and the administrations of President Muhammadu Buhari”

Although Sanni noted that he would have preferred that the APC occupied the presiding officers positions in the Senate but that the party should accept the present composition and move on.

Another Senator, Abiodun Olujimi ( PDP Ekiti-South) said the amendments made in the 2015 Senate standing orders being referred to as forgery by the Senator Ahmad Lawan group in the senate, was carried out by the management of the National Assembly for the inauguration of the 8th Senate.

She said the senators alleging forgery as a result of slight amendments effected on the 2011 Senate Standing Order used by the 7th Senate as reflected in the 2015 standing order, were just playing politics with a strictly internal matter of the senate.

She insisted that there was legislative immunity on the matter, which prevents both the police and the court of law from meddling in it.

She said, “As far as majority of the senators are concerned, the alleged forgeries being bandied about by Ahmad Lawan and his group, is a ruse, because for every new senate, a new standing order must be provided which was what was given to senators at the inauguration of the 8th Senate on the 9th of last month.

“Lawan and the other senators are crying wolf where there is none. Were not the only senators who were in the 7th senate and besides, the 7th senate ended with its standing order of 2011 on the 4th of June 2015.

“The 2015 senate standing order is a fresh document meant for the 8th senate and not 7th senate, so where lies the forgery they are talking about?”

She added that appropriate sanction may later be meted out to those dragging the institution of the senate in the mud on matters that are strictly internal.

She said, “I think there are reprimands for those who go outside the line and I am sure that the senate will apply appropriate sanction at the appropriate when to those that may be found culpable on this matter at the end of the day.”

The Presidency on Sunday said President Muhammadu Buhari would not stop the prosecution of anybody indicted in the report of the Nigeria Police on the forgery of the Senate Standing Order.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, said this on Sunday in an exclusive interview with one of our correspondents in Abuja.

Shehu said Buhari believed in the rule of law and would not do anything that would derail any judicial process, stressing that those who were constitutionally saddled with the process did not need the President’s clearance to do their job.

He said, “They do not need the President’s clearance to prosecute anybody found guilty of any investigation. President Muhammadu Buhari, as all Nigerians know, believes very strongly in the rule of law.

“The President will therefore not do anything that will stop the judicial process. He won’t stop it (the trial of suspects in the Senate forgery case).”

There were reports on Sunday that the police investigation had confirmed that the Senate standing order was forged and that the police had recommended that some staff of the National Assembly should be prosecuted.


The police had invited the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu and some other National Assembly officials over a petition alleging that the Senate standing rules were tampered with in the conduct of the election of Senate President Bukola Saraki, Ekweremadu and other principal officers on June 9.

Though the Director (Information), Federal Ministry of Justice, Mr. Charles Nwodo, could not confirm to The PUNCH if the report had been submitted to the ministry for prosecution to begin, some lawyers on Sunday said the alleged offence was criminal and that culprits would be made to face the wrath of the law.

A Lagos-based lawyer, Mr. Jiti Ogunye, said considering the enormity of the alleged crime, government should go ahead to take the appropriate action on the report regardless of any political interpretation given to it.

Ogunye said, “The release of the report vindicates the widely held view that what took place in the National Assembly towards June 9 and in particular the election in the Senate on that day following the proclamation of the National Assembly was a sham.

“This report tells us that a lot of ugliness is going on in our public life. Because we are not talking about Students’ Union parliament or a private document, we are talking about the National Assembly of Nigeria.

“So if the bureaucracy of the National Assembly can be enmeshed in lawmaking forgery, the implication of that is that Nigeria is a nation of forgers. That would then mean that these people can also forge laws.

“With the report, the law should take its course whether you are a clerk of the National Assembly or a senator of the National Assembly.”

A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Mr. Norrison Quakers, said, “First of all, it is a criminal offence. And the law has to take its course. The penalty is a fine and a term of imprisonment; either or both. Any lawmaker who is involved in the forgery allegation, that has now been substantiated that indeed the document was forged, will have to answer criminal allegations and face prosecution.

“What the law prescribes as penalty for the offence of forgery is a minimum of four years imprisonment; it is about four or more.”

Another Lagos-based lawyer, Mr. Wahab Shittu, said, “First of all, I want to believe that no lawmaker would be involved in such a shameful act; but if it is proven that any lawmaker is involved, it is a criminal offence.

“Depending on the legislation under which they are arraigned, there is an element of forgery scattered in all our legislations. We have forgery under the EFCC Act; we have forgery under the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act; we have forgery under the Criminal Code. It (the punishment) depends on the enabling legislation under which they are charged.”

Meanwhile, some anti – Saraki senators, who spoke with The PUNCH on Sunday, asked the senate president and his deputy to step aside since the police investigation had established that the senate rules used for their election had been forged.

Senator Kabir Marafa, spokesperson for the Senate Unity Forum, a group of Senators loyal to Senator Ahmad Lawal, the APC’s choice for the senate presidency outwitted by Saraki, expressed satisfaction at the report.

“I have not seen a copy of the report and I don’t know the details but if a case of forgery has been established as being claimed in the media, I think the ideal thing is for the presiding officers who benefitted from the illegal amendments to resign their positions,” Marafa said.

Marafa, an APC Senator from Zamfara Central, asked both the police and the justice ministry to do the right thing by taking necessary steps to ensure justice.

“On our part, we are resuming on Tuesday and our demand on the floor of the Senate is that the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, must ensure that the chamber is run according to its rules,” he said.

But the Senate President challenged the Senators calling for his resignation to articulate their position on the floor of the Senate instead of resorting to media propaganda.

In a statement by his spokesperson, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Saraki said, “I am not going to respond to speculations based on a report which the police has not confirmed or which no one had seen a copy; so I don’t think it will be proper for me to react to what does not exist.

“As for those calling on the presiding officers to resign, why are they making their call on the pages of newspapers? They should go to the floor of the Senate to articulate their views. There is no point drawing unnecessary public attention to issues that can be treated in-house”

A Peoples Democratic Party senator from Ekiti South, Abiodun Olujimi, said the issue would be discussed on the floor on Tuesday with a view to condemning a situation whereby “some people would be externalising the affairs of the chamber”

“We will definitely study the report and debate it dispassionately to look at the issues involved but we are going to condemn the idea whereby some people, by their action, would be threatening the legislative immunity by involving outsiders in the internal affairs of the chamber, “ she said.

Attempts to speak with the Clerk to the National Assembly, Alhaji Salisu Maikasuwa, over the development were unsuccessful on Sunday as calls to his mobile phone did not connect while text messages also sent did not deliver.

Sources in Abuja on Sunday indicated that Senators were billed for a showdown when they resume on Tuesday (tomorrow)as rival factions were poised to take on each other over the police report alleging forgery in the Senate standing order.

The PUNCH reliably learnt that the pro-Lawan group were considering two options, including a call on Saraki and his deputy, Ekweremadu, to resign.

It was also learnt that the group was planning to obtain the report and submit it to a Federal High Court that is already hearing a suit on the matter in Abuja.

Senators Barnabas Gemade; Abu Ibrahim, Lawan, Geore Akume, Kabir Marafa, Sulaiman Hunkuyi and Gbenga Ashafa had asked the court to declare the inauguration of the 8th Senate as strange and irregular.

They are also asking the court to declare the Senate Standing Orders 2015 used for Saraki and Ekweremadu’s elections as inoperative, null and lack of legislative process.

Former Petroleum Resources Minister, Mrs. Deziani Alison-Madueke is very ill and has been hospitalized in a London hospital for an undisclosed ailment, family sources said over the weekend.

THEWILL gathered that Deziani had undergone treatment in a London hospital for an undisclosed form of cancer during her tenure as Minister.

THEWILL further gathered that Deziani is being closely monitored and has not been allowed to see friends except close family members for weeks. Cellphones and other transmitting devices are also not allowed in her hospital room because of radiation, the sources told THEWILL.
