Miss Jones had been giving her second-grade students a lesson on science. She had explained about magnets and showed how they would pick up nails and other bits of iron.

Now it was question time, and she asked, "My name begins with the letter 'M' and I pick up things. What am I?" A little boy on the front row proudly said, "You're a mother!"

Some men in a pickup truck drove into a lumberyard. One of the men walked in the office and said, "We need some four-by-twos."

The clerk asked, "You mean two-by-fours, don't you?"

The man said, "I'll go check," and went back to the truck. He returned and said, "Yeah, I meant two-by-four."

The clerk said, "All right. How long do you need them?" The customer paused for a minute and said, "I'd better go check."

After a while, the customer returned to the office and said, "A long time. We're gonna build a house."
Jokes Etc / A Doctor And A Lawyer Met At A Party by dashkk(m): 5:51pm On Jul 02, 2007
A doctor and a lawyer met at a party
A doctor and a lawyer met at a party. Their conversation was interrupted repeatedly by guests asking the doctor for medical advice. Finally, the exasperated doctor turned to the lawyer and said, "Tell me, what do you do to stop people from asking you for legal advice when you're out of the office?"

"When they ask, I give them advice", replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill in the morning."

The doctor decided to take the lawyer's advice and for the rest of the evening wrote down the names and addresses of everyone who approached him for advice. The next morning he took out the list, just as his secretary walked into his office and handed him a bill from the lawyer.
Jokes Etc / Vacuum Salesman by dashkk(m): 5:49pm On Jul 02, 2007
Vacuum Salesman
An enthusiastic door-to-door vacuum salesman goes to the first house in his new territory. He knocks, a real mean and tough looking lady opens the door, and before she has a chance to say anything, he runs inside and dumps cow patties all over the carpet.

He says, "Lady, if this vacuum cleaner don't do wonders cleaning this up, I'll eat every chunk of it."

She turns to him with a smirk and says, "You want ketchup on that?"

The salesman says, "Why do you ask?"

She says, "We just moved in and we haven't got the electricity turned on yet."

1. Success

The Apostle Paul said, "I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."1

Success has been well defined as "the ability to embrace a worthwhile goal and then employ all of your powers for the achievement of that goal."

Having a goal is the first step in the success of anything. Without a specific goal it is all too easy to go every-which-way with one's endeavors and thereby dissipate one's energies. And, if we're not careful, we can end up not accomplishing anything worthwhile with our life. We become like the proverbial marksman who shoots first and then draws a bull's eye around where he hit in a vain attempt to seek to convince himself and others what a good marksman he is!

According to motivational speakers, only about three percent of people have a major goal for their life. This shouldn't be true of Christians because God has a major life goal for every one of us. That goal will put to good use our God-given talents in serving others because we serve God by serving people.

It helps to clearly define our major goal in life by writing it out as often as possible. This helps to instill it in our unconscious mind that, in turn, helps us almost to go on automatic pilot so we, too, like Paul, will press toward our God-given life goal.

Suggested prayer: "Dear God, help me to discover the God-given major goal for my life and give me the motivation, direction and help I need to fulfill it for your glory. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully in Jesus' name, amen."

1. Philippians 3:14 (NIV)

Politics / Another Tragedy Hit Rev.king by dashkk(m): 5:42am On Jun 30, 2007
Tragedy struck early Friday morning in Lagos as a canoe carrying mostly members of Christian Prayers Assembly (CPA), capsized during a heavy downpour, claiming no less than 13 lives.

The incident which occurred about 7.20 a.m threw the entire neighbourhood of Ajao into a mourning mood just as it rekindled talks on the activities of CPA members whose controversial leaders, Emeka Ezeugo, alias Reverend King, is awaiting his fate in prison following a death sentence passed on him last year for murder.

According to one of the three lucky survivors, Mr. Wilson Akoma, a staff of Springbank, Apapa branch, there were a total of 16 passengers in the canoe, among them, a nursing mother, who until the incident was a popular bread seller.

Describing his survival as a miracle, Akoma who spoke to Saturday Sun in his Akeem Shittu Street residence, said that early that morning, he and about three other passengers had converged on the boarding point of a canoe service that conveyed passengers from one side of the Oke-Afa canal to the other. All the passengers in the ill-fated canoe were commuting from the Ajao-Estate end of the canal to the Isolo end, which was just a shouting distance.

The 47-year-old indigene of Abia State recalled that “the first set of passengers were beckoning on the canoe man to come over from the Isolo end when a group of CPA members who were returning from a vigil trooped out. The canoe man was late in coming because he needed first to scoop out water caused by the downpour from his canoe.”

The banker who was on his way to work said he was the second passenger to board the canoe when it finally arrived. As result of the rain, the wave was very stormy.
“Some of us expressed worry over the current because the water was flowing very fast. But the canoe-man assured us he was not unaware of the danger, adding that that was the reason he came himself to ferry us across instead of assigning the task to one of his sons.”

Acting the typical Lagos transporter, Wilson said the canoe-man hiked the fare from N20 to N40.” We were a total of 16 passengers. The canoe-man was arguing with one of the CPA members over change.”
As Saturday Sun observed at the accident scene, the distance of the journey was about 100 metres. According to the survivor, it was less than two minutes into the journey when the passengers realized that instead of carrying them forward, the canoe was moving backwards.

As a result of the fierce current. “The canoe-man struggled to paddle forward but the more he tried, the more the current pushed us back. When the man became exhausted, he attempted to steady the canoe on one spot by driving the paddle hard into the water. But the canal was so deep as the paddle failed to hit the bottom of the canal or anchor. Before we knew what was happening, the canoe-man had fallen inside the water.”

Without anybody to control it, the canoe and its passengers were left at the mercy of the turbulent water. Wilson said that what followed could only be imagined”. A few of us started shouting Jesus! Jesus! But the CPA people were screaming: Daddy G.O.! Daddy G.O, in apparent reference to their General Overseer, Reverend King.”

The survivor said he was hoping the current would carry the canoe towards some shrubs but with the panic that followed, a male passenger jumped off and before anyone knew it, the canoe had capsized. Three passengers swam to safety. So did the canoe-man. Wilson said that though he could swim, he almost drowned because some of the drowning passengers held him by the waist and legs.

When Saturday Sun arrived the scene, seven men of the Civil Defence Corps were seen watching helplessly. There was no rescue equipment to work with and because of the strong current, the 13 victims, now feared dead, were believed to have been swept far away from the accident scene.
At the CPA Church, bearded members of the religious house were seen clustering outside the gate. Asked to comment on the mishap, one of them barked that nothing bad had happened to any of their members.

Speaking yesterday evening, the Police Public Relation Officer (PPRO) of the Lagos Command, Mr. Bode Ojajuni confirmed the incident, saying that majority of the victims were members of CPA.
A resident of Ajao, Mr. Edwin Nwosu, told Saturday Sun that the ill-fated canoe was overloaded, given that it normally took eight to ten passengers.
He regretted that six years after many Nigerians perished in the same canal during the Ikeja bomb blast, government was yet to build the bridge it promised. He described the canoe mishap as an avoidable tragedy.
Politics / The Secret Deal by dashkk(m): 5:29am On Jun 30, 2007
The three day talks between the leadership of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Action Congress (AC) over the formation of a government of national unity may have collapsed Thursday following the withdrawal of AC from the talks.

This is coming just as the agreement between the ANPP and PDP on the unity government seems to have thrown PDP leadership into confusion following the reported annoyance of PDP chairman Ahmadu Ali with the party’s negotiating team for agreeing to a review of all contracts awarded by former president Olusegun Obasanjo between March 1 and May 29, 2007 when he left office.

Daily Sun learnt that the AC pulled out of the talks after the refusal of the PDP to embark on fundamental reforms in the country as proposed.

The AC had proposed the following:

• That a multiparty committee be set up immediately to examine the issues of electoral reforms in all their ramifications;


• That the fundamental rights of citizens held in unlawful detention throughout the country be enforced inorder to attain national reconciliation;

• That constitutional amendments be embarked upon in order to deepen our democracy;

• That the worsening social and security situation in the Niger Delta be urgently addressed;

• That the improper and controversial privatization and concession of strategic national assets carried out by the previous government be reviewed and investigated;

• That an urgent audit be carried out in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) between May 1999 and May 2007;

• That the compensation package for personnel of security agencies be enhanced as part of the efforts aimed at effective law enforcement and to guarantee security of lives and property; and

• That a major national home ownership scheme, based on a robust mortgage and an annual housing production target of one million housing units, be embarked upon for the purposes of recreating the middle class and wealth to effectively prevent crimes.

To the disappointment of the AC delegation, the PDP, on its part, was not interested in these critical social and economic issues that could improve the living standards of Nigerians. Rather, it was gathered, the party was more interested in two issues, namely:

• The sharing of ministerial slots among the parties, and

• Persuading the AC to withdraw its electoral petitions nationwide.
The AC went to the negotiating table with its full squad led by Alhaji Abubakar Rimi and Chief Audu Ogbeh at the Transcorp Hilton hotel. Both men had praised the initiative of President Umaru Yar’Adua to have opened discussions with the opposition.

But by Wednesday reliable sources hinted Daily Sun that there was deadlock because both parties were unable to agree on “certain fundamental issues,” a source who prefers to anonymous stated.
It was learnt that the PDP team had offered the AC only one ministerial list. The AC however rejected it.
The AC team it was also gathered had insisted on controlling the ministries of finance, foreign affairs and works and housing, among others.

Also rejected by the AC team was the veiled plot by the PDP that some AC top shots who were PDP members should return to the party.
A source said AC feels it is a plot by the PDP to weaken AC’s strength ahead of 2011 elections.
Although after Wednesday’s meeting, the two groups were supposed to meet Thursday to continue talks, there was still no indication that the meeting will hold as at press time.

It will be recalled that after Tuesday’s meeting AC national secretary, Bashir Dalhatu, told reporters that “we will make further consultations and make our position known within 48 hours.” But efforts to know whether they have taken a position failed as he could not be reached on phone.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, John Odey, told Daily Sun that discussions were still going on and as soon a date is fixed for another meeting it will be made known.

Asked whether there were disagreements over ministerial list, Odey said, “all through our talks with all the parties, the issue of ministerial list was not mentioned. That will be handled at the villa.”
Meanwhile, all is not well with the separate agreement reached between PDP and ANPP over the formation of the unity government. It was gathered that as soon as the pact was sealed, the copy of the agreement was reportedly taken to PDP chairman, Ahmadu Ali, while the BOT meeting was going on.
Daily Sun gathered that Ali was angry with the PDP team for accepting to review all contracts awarded by former President Obasanjo between March 1st and May 29 when he left office
