Traders to Osinbajo: N250,000 per shop ‘too expensive’ as Acting President pays surprise visit to Garki Market

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, on Friday, paid an unscheduled visit to Garki Model Market, Abuja and while interacting with the traders promised to talk to the market’s management to reduce the high cost of the stores.
The visit was done in alignment with the activities of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration’s two years in office. The visit lasted for about 40 minutes.
The traders complained about the high cost of renting stores at N250,000 per annum and also the high cost of buying wares from suppliers.
The acting president interacted with fish sellers and those dealing with consumables such as rice and onions who also spoke about high cost of the items.
Osinbajo told them that they could help in bringing down the cost of foods if they joined other Nigerians in farming.
“The more we farm, the more the cost of products will come down’’, he said.
Osinbajo also pleaded with the traders to keep the prices as affordable as possible especially as the Ramadan fast was beginning.
Alhaji Nasiru Maiyaki, a rice seller, complained of inadequate store space, saying that the market management had yet to complete the shops the traders deposited money for long ago.
Osinbajo, who was greeted with loud cheers from the traders and buyers alike was accompanied by the Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment, Mrs Aisha Abubakar, and some presidential aides.
The acting president’s spokesman, Mr Laolu Akande, told State House Correspondents that the visit was to enable his boss to get first-hand information of the situation in the market.
“He wanted to feel the pulse of Nigerians and hear directly from the people and have one-on-one with them.
“He also assured them that the administration is committed to improving the economy and ensure that life gets better for them’’, Akande said.
Osinbajo had earlier met with school children ahead of the Children’s Day celebration in his office and presented them with gifts.

MOVIE PREMIER OF IRANSE MAJEMU HOLDS JUNE 18, 2017

All is set for the movie premier of Iranse Majemu. The talk of the town event holds June 18, 2017 at Origin Garden Hall Ebute, Ikorodu, Lagos. The film is anchored by

Prophet Olufemi Otusanya Omomajemu, the founder and General Overseer of True Covenant Church of God (TCCG). We report below what the man of God told Prestige International Magazine about the movie.

Can you tell us about your forthcoming talk of the town movie?

The film we just produced that will be out very soon, title is Iranse Majemu meaning Covenant Servant o. Iranse Majemu is about my story that is the true life story of Prophet Olufemi Otusanya. The movie is about the covenant God had with my mother when I was in the womb. There was a prophecy to my mother that she was going to have a son and that son is going to be a Prophet of God. The film is also about my father, when he was young he was into mixed religion, he was not a full Christian. He was a member of Ogboni Fraternity. The film is also about how I converted my father to a full Christian and left Ogboni Fraternity. I thank God that my father was a true Christian before he died. The story is also about what God has used me for and how God gave me this ministry, True Covenant Church of God. I can remember when I was preaching in a particular street at Alapere, Lagos, on that street nobody then had effrontery to preach there. As at that time nobody dare call the name of Jesus. When I was preaching there Ogboni Fraternity came to attack me, they were led by their leader, Fayemi. On that day they beat me and took me to their shrine, they used lots of charm on me but God took control. I left the place and I was singing “Ko sagbara toda bi ti Jesu, kosa agbara toda bi ti Baba, ko sa agbara to da biti Jesu, agbara, agbara, agbara to ju agbara lo” meaning  “No power like Jesus, no power like father, power that is above all other power”. The film is also about my salvation.

Can you tell us some of the characters in the movie?

Among the movie stars paraded in the movie include Funsho Adeolu, Tunbosun Odunsi (Baba Amoye),  Awofe Afolayan, Toyin Afolayan (Lola Idije), Alabi Yellow, Oyelere Abiodun and host of other stars. Baba Amoye  acted as my father. Funsho Adeolu acted as another prophet entirely. In that movie, people will see another character of Funsho Adeolu. I want people to watch out for the movie. Lola Idije is also in the movie. Jesus Christ came for everybody including sinners. I don’t discriminate I preach the gospel to everybody because Jesus Christ is for everybody. Awofe Afolayan, a movie star is also in the film, he directed the movie. We parade a lot of movie stars in the film

Now that you are into acting, do you have flair for acting before?

I did not have the flair for acting before, but what brought me into movie is that from my experience and from what I have seen, seventy percent of people love watching films in comparism with people who love reading books. People do listen to preaching but you cannot compare the way people watch movies with the way people listen to preaching. In most homes people spend hours daily watching movies. I realized that we can win soul with movies. There are certain things I revealed in the movie that has never been revealed before like the hierarchy in heaven. We revealed what first, second heaven represent, and the second heaven represents the evil doers. We also try to bring people into the spirituality of the world. In that film I reveal a lot of things that God has told me. We reveal a lot of things that people can learn from and we preach the word of salvation. I went into movie purposely to win soul for Christ.

Chime opens up on real reason he joined APC

A former governor of Enugu State, Mr Sullivan Chime, says his decision to join the All Progressives Congress (APC) is to provide direction for upcoming politicians in the South-East state.
Chime made the announcement on Wednesday in Enugu while briefing newsmen on his plan to formally register as a member of the APC.
Chime had on March 16 this year, announced that he had dumped the PDP on whose platform he served as governor for eight years.
After announcing his exit from the PDP, he described the former ruling party as “dead and cremated.
“I have now made my consultations with all ward, local government and state chairmen of the APC and the entire state executive of the party, including the national leadership.
“They have assured us that we can come in and I am excited about the prospect of joining the party.”
Chime described the APC as the only viable party with national outlook in the country.
“This is the only party that can take any politician to their destination and I pray that what happened to the PDP does not happen to APC.”
The former governor said that he would on May 6, register formally with the APC at his country home in Udi/Agbudu Ward in the Udi Local Government Area.
“I am moving to the APC because a lot of people are looking up to me for direction. I ended my journey in 2015 but I still have my supporters looking for guidance.”
Chime said that he was neither joining the APC to fight anybody nor seeking for any elective position as there was none at the moment.
He said that the APC had come to stay in Enugu State, noting that if things continued the way they were “I can assure you that the APC will win the state in 2019.
“Change has come to Enugu and it is like a movement.”
He said it was regrettable that his decision to exercise his constitutional right by joining any political party of his choice had elicited spates of violence, sponsored by his detractors in the PDP.
“Since I announced my exit from the PDP, I have been branded a total failure.
“Some people think I am nursing the ambition to go to the senate and the best thing to do is to run me down.”
The former governor said that his supporters at various Local Government Areas in the state had been consistently chastised for their decision to join him to the APC.
He cited an instance where a Local Government chairman in the state invaded and incited violence at a venue where APC chieftains were having a meeting.
“It will be unfortunate if people re-introduce violence in the politics of the state after we worked hard to stem it.
“You cannot stop people from meeting simply because you are a local government chairman and they do not belong to your party,” said Chime.
