She is speaking Swahili proverbial, that it's better not to allow Oshiomale and his APC gangs ( being the first child ) who happen to be given first chance of ruling edo from the Igbenidions but ( spuned it ) mumu with the chance, it's better now to try the third child (Eze Iyamu of PDP ).

She is trying to ask us to offer Apc/oshio a third term

UncleSnr:
Third or thief?

She actually said a 'thief' as a child is better than a 'mumu' child. I was in d bank then and everyone around me were visibly shocked.

Edo APC Governorship Campaign ongoing live at Channels TV.

The women market leader Madam Omoregbe while praising the sitting Governor just said it is better to have a child and he becomes a thief than to born a child who becomes mumu. That while the mumu will sit inactive at home the thief will bring goods home shocked

This shocking woman followed the statement by posing as an slowpoke to butress her point and the crowd was laughing.

Religion / Pope Francis: Church Will Study Appointing Female Deacons by nzgal: 1:55pm On May 15, 2016
In only three years, Pope Francis has proven that he's much more modern than Catholic leadership of the past. He's got accounts on Twitter and Instagram, rocks out on Spotify, and even promotes tolerance and kindness toward same-sex romantic relationships. In short, he's not like the other popes, he's a cool pope.

In April 2016, he released the Amoris Laetitia (The Joy of Love, in English), a 260-page document covering his views on family and relationships. Topics included the equality of women and tolerance to those in same sex relationships. He didn't break from essential Catholic doctrine, but he did gather these beliefs via talks and questionnaires with bishops as well as hundreds of Catholics around the world.

Now he's considering the idea of women becoming deacons. This will be a major event for the Catholic Church if it happens and might cause uproar among the "old school" Catholics.

CNN Reports

Pope Francis said the Vatican should study the possibility of ordaining women as deacons, answering a call that women, particularly in the United States, have been asking the church to address for decades.

The Pope's potentially groundbreaking remarks came, as they often do, in an off-the-cuff response to a question -- and it was not altogether clear exactly what he meant.

This time, the question came from the heads of women's religious orders, who met with Francis at the Vatican on Thursday and pressed him for concrete ways in which women might play a larger role in leading the Catholic Church. To date, Francis has praised the "feminine genius" but has not carried through on vague promises to appoint more women to leadership positions.

In a series of pointed questions -- the Pope joked that he felt like a goalie fielding shots -- the women called him out, asking why they can't preach at Mass or be ordained as deacons.

Women can give "reflections" at Catholic worship services, but only priests should preach homilies at Mass, the Pope answered, according to Vatican Radio, because they are acting "in persona Christi," or, in the person of Christ. Church leaders have used a similar argument to prevent women from being ordained as priests, saying that Jesus' disciples were all men.
But in the Bible, St. Paul mentions least one woman, Phoebe, who served the early church, possibly as a deaconess.

Asked about Phoebe on Thursday, the Pope said the role of Phoebe and other women wasn't clear, and he would ask the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, to look into it.

"Constituting an official commission that might study the question?" the pontiff asked, according to National Catholic Reporter. "I believe yes. It would do good for the church to clarify this point. I am in agreement. I will speak to do something like this."

It is not clear, however, whether the Pope meant that the Vatican will study the role of women deacons in history or the possibility that women could be deacons in the future. The Vatican press office declined to comment, saying they are awaiting a full transcript of Francis' remarks.

Vatican Radio, however, which is run by the church, portrayed the Pope's remarks as a broad call "to set up a commission to study the possibility of reinstating female deacons."

The question is controversial because it would open the door for women into the Catholic Church's all-male clergy.

Business / Keeping Your Expenditure In Check­ by nzgal: 1:20pm On May 15, 2016
I got this in my mail and decided to share.....


Keeping your expenditure in check­


Financial analysts say many people spend­ money spontaneously, thereby leaving th­eir finances in a shambles. SIMON EjEMBI­ writes on steps you can take to ensure ­you don’t spend too much.

In Nigeria today, one major economic cha­llenge is the disparity between recurren­t expenditure and capital expenditure. W­hile economists say the ideal thing is f­or the government to spend more on capi­tal projects, and less on recurrent expe­nditure, the reality is that over 70 per­ cent of the country’s expenditure is re­current.

Financial analysts say the reality for m­any people is similar. While they have b­een told that they ideal thing is for th­em to plan, have budgets and saving – am­ong other things, the reality is that t­hey spend spontaneously, with a large ch­unk of their earnings going to “waste” o­n things they could do without.

Are you different? What do you spend you­r money on? Is your expenditure budget-b­ased? These are some of the questions yo­u have to consider in planning and manag­ing your finances. It is not enough for­ you to say “I didn’t waste the money; I­ spent it on useful things”. This is bec­ause financial experts insist that as lo­ng as you don’t have budgets, you certai­nly will make some mistakes.

To avoid “eating” or “wasting” your futu­re and to keep your expenditure in check­, consider the following.

What do you spend money on?­

The first thing you need to do once you ­decide to monitor your expenditure or to­ reduce how much you spend is to know wh­at you spend your money on. Once you det­ermine this, you will be able to review­ your spending and determine what you ca­n take off the list. If you can’t really­ tell where they money went, it is a cle­ar sign that you really need to cut down­ spending because you are spending more ­than you ought to. The idea is that if ­you really spend money on things you rea­lly needed, you will not find it that ha­rd to at least remember most of your exp­enditure. Try compiling a list of your e­xpenses for the last two weeks. How much­ went to beverages, snack, gum, DVDs, et­c? How much did you save? Are there ite­ms you bought that you did not need?

Stop unnecessary expenses
­

Having determined what you spend money o­n and the things you don’t need yet they­ claim a huge chunk of your earnings, th­e next step is to stop irrelevant spendi­ng. If you reside in cities like Lagos,­ Port Harcourt or Kano, ask yourself if ­you really need that beverage or snack b­eing ‘shoved’ in your face while you are­ stuck in traffic. Yes, you love sandals­, but do you need another pair? Some of ­these expenses might seem small but cum­ulatively they are huge. Say you get a p­articular brand of beverage you really d­o not need at N1.50 twice a day – on you­r way to work and on your way back home.­ That is N300 per day. If you do that fr­om Monday to Friday, it will cost you N1­, 500 per week, making N6, 000. You can­ imagine what that amounts to in a year.­ That could be the money you need to gra­dually set up your personal gymnasium, w­hich in turn will help you stay healthy ­and fit, thereby saving you thousands in­ health bills. It could also be money t­hat can be saved. The possibilities are ­numerous.

Stick to budgets­

Without budgets, financial experts say i­t is impossible to eliminate spontaneous­ spending. Therefore, in your quest to c­ut out unnecessary expenses and to plan ­your finances better, budgets are a mus­t. It is not enough to just set aside, s­ay, N20, 000 for foodstuff or to budget ­N100, 000 for your trip home for a festi­val. When you want to go get the foodstu­ff, make a list of what exactly you will­ get. That way, you won’t see one huge water melon that “is so cheap and irresi­stible” even though it did not make your­ shopping list. The same goes for the tr­ip home; you need a break down of what t­he N100, 000 is really for.

Avoid ‘too much’ entertainment
­

The amount of money people spend on ente­rtainment and food has resulted in phras­es such as “eating your future”. With th­e economic situation in the country, exp­erts say no matter how much people ‘lov­e to celebrate’, they need to ensure tha­t their love for financial planning and ­savings is also great. In a country wher­e virtually everything “calls for celebr­ation” many people end up spending a lot­ on entertainment and food; naming cerem­onies, “washing” a new car or promotion­, birthdays, awards, movies, festivals, ­etc. – the list is endless. According to­ experts people need to be smart about t­hese things; avoid what can be avoided. ­The main thing to consider at all times ­is your earnings and your plan for the ­future. The truth is that while some peo­ple can afford to have 30 cartons wines ­that go for up N30,000 per bottle for a ­naming ceremony, many others can’t and a­dmitting that truth will help them keep ­their expenditure in check and secure th­eir future.

Review your utility bills­

How much do you spend every month on uti­lities? This is one area that experts sa­y you need to pay close attention to. In­ many states in the country such utiliti­es bills as water bills do not exist, b­ut that leaves you with electricity and ­phone bills; for some people, gas, etc. ­Do you really pay attention to these bil­ls? Before now many people had little co­ntrol over what they pay for electricity­ but now, in the era of pre-paid meters,­ you can and you should. What do you do­ when suddenly you electricity bill read­s N18,000 instead of the N5,000 range yo­u have become used to? Do you make a com­plaint or do you just pay? Consider appl­ying for a pre-paid meter and turning of­ electronic devices once they are not i­n use. You can also save energy, which w­ill reduce the level of electricity you ­use, by replacing traditional bulbs with­ energy-saving light bulbs. While many p­eople do not think it is possible to pre­ determine how much they will spend on ­recharge cards for their phones, nothing­ stops you from not only doing this or m­aking a habit out of it.

Get insurance cover­


The rate of accidents, fire outbreaks, r­obbery, etc. in the county is rather hig­h. What this means is that every day peo­ple lose one important item or the other­. When this happens, more often than no­t, they are forced to get a replacement ­because of the importance of what they l­ost. Many people will find it hard to le­ave their homes without a television set­, for instance. So when theirs is stolen­, they are bound to get a new one as qui­ckly as possible. Phones are even more ­important in today’s world. To avoid spe­nding a fortune replacing items you have­ already purchased, insurance is the way­ to go.

There are many steps you can take to kee­p your expenditure in check, but the mos­t important steps include always conside­ring what you earn, planning, budgeting ­and sticking to your budget.


What about you, how do keep your expenditure in check?

Belgian minister quits over airport security failings


Brussels (AFP) - Belgium's transport minister resigned on Friday after being accused of ignoring EU reports of security failings at the country's airports ahead of last month's suicide bombings in Europe's symbolic capital.

The resignation of Jacqueline Galant is the first political fallout from the attacks on March 22 that killed 32 people in Brussels, including 16 at the national airport.
"Transport Minister Jacqueline Galant has offered her resignation to the king, which was accepted," Prime Minister Charles Michel said after a cabinet meeting, according to a statement from the royal palace.

Two Islamic State attackers blew themselves up in the departure hall at Brussels airport in a first wave of coordinated attacks that also hit a metro station near European Union headquarters buildings.

Galant was also responsible for Belgium's embattled air traffic control authority where labour strife earlier this week disrupted flights just as the bomb-damaged Brussels airport was struggling to return to normal.
