Christian Pilgrimage: In Jerusalem, President Prayed For God’s Intervention In The Challenges Nigeria Is Facing With
President Goodluck Jonathan on
Thursday led other Nigerian pilgrims to Jerusalem, Israel for a special prayer for the numerous challenges facing Nigeria.
Other pilgrims who led in different prayer points included
Governor Jonah Gang of Plateau;
Minister of Agriculture, Akin Adesina; Abuja Christian leader, Israel Akanji; and a lawmaker, Ndudi Elumelu.
Leading an intercessory prayer session at the Chapel of Dominous Flevit (where Jesus wept), the Jonathan particularly prayed for God's intervention in the current political and security challenges
in Nigeria.
Prior to that, the President had visited Mount Olives, Garden of Gethsemane, Bascillica of Agony and Mount Zion where he also prayed alongside other pilgrims at the Upper Room (where Jesus
had the last supper with His disciples).
Besides, he visited David City, The
Church of St. Peter in Gallicantu, the last place where Jesus was kept a night before he was crucified.
Jonathan is expected to visit the
Jerusalem Old City, The Wailing Wall, Golgotha, Pool of Bethesda and other holy sites in the second day of his pilgrimage.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
reports that President is accompanied by eight governors, seven ministers and three members of the National Assembly. The governors are Theodore
Orji of Abia; Peter Obi of Anambra;
Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom; Martin Elechi of Ebonyi; and Emanuel Uduaghan of Delta; Gabriel Suswam of
Benue; Jonah Jang of Plateau, and Lyiel Imoke of Cross River.
The ministers included the supervising Minister of Foreign Affairs, Viola Onwuliri; FCT Minister of State, Olajumoke Akinjide; Mnister of Infromation, Labran Maku; and the Minister of Aviation, Stella Oduah.
Oduah, it will be recalled, has left for Israel right after she found herself in the center of a corruption scandal.
Members of the National Assembly in the presidential pilgrimage are Senate Committee Chairman on Power, Philip Aduda, and Paul Paulka.
This is the first time a sitting Nigerian president will embark on pilgrimage to, Israel and this year recorded the highest number of Nigerian participants.
However, the president is in Israel on dual purpose: undergoing pilgrimage, and
state visit where Nigeria would sign a number of agreements with the state of Israel, including the Bilateral Air Service
Agreement, BASA.

PHOTOS: Olu Jacobs Gets Personal Statue In His Honor
Achieving legendary eminence never comes on a silver platter but that is what one of Nollywood’s icons has become.
Olu Jacobs , often times referred to as the granddad of Nollywood has achieved great feats in the industry beyond standards he
probably set for himself.
From the old days of the mid 90’s when he acted together with Omotola Jalade and Emeka Ike in “Day Break”, to some of his most current movies, the style and
class he brings into his roles is second to none; from the trademark roaring voice
when he is angry and intent on creating mischief especially when he gets offended or his child goes contrary to his commands, to the sweet and fatherly affection he displays when pleased, Olu
has remained the same person and kept true to his core acting values that has made him beloved by many.
In the years that have past, some of his age mates who were legends in their own rights that to great Nollywood achievements including the likes of Sam Loco, Enebeli Elebuwa, Pete Eneh, and Justus Esiri, have all passed on. So it is
worth at least recognizing his great featbover the years and bestowing on him an award deserving of his status.
Even before that happens however, the legend has already received a sculpted statue of himself and Olu can certainly take pride of this because he deserves it.
I Lost My Pride In My Marriage – Nollywood actress Chika Ike
Divorced Nollywood actress, Chika Ike, seems not to forget the woes of her marriage in a hurry, as she has come out with more scathing revelations against her ex-husband, Tony Eberiri.
Chika who acted in several Nollywood movies including ‘Standing Alone,’ ‘My Prince,’ ‘My Princess,’ ‘Paradise’ and ‘Emotional Blackmail,’ exposed her pain
via her Facebook posts: “Growing up as a girl, I was always known as the sweetest kid on the bloc. Before I got married, I have been through some relationships and for once, no man had ever laid a
finger on me.
The first time it happened in my marriage, I didn’t understand it because I am not the type of woman a man beats but I
guess there are no types. It just happens and no woman deserves it. I thought it was love or his way of expressing his emotions, but after every beating, he
pleads, cries and says it won’t happen again; once again, I thought it was love and made excuses for him.
Over the years, when it kept happening consistently, I started looking for other definitions for it. I started losing my self-pride, self-esteem, self-worth, and most painfully, I lost my baby,
(miscarriage). I almost lost my life in the process, and then I realized how serious and abnormal it really was.”
