 ‘Conference Hall’ – Senators complain over poor quality of reconstructed Senate Chamber Senators on Tuesday expressed anger over the condition of the reconstructed Chamber, which they described as a ‘mere conference room’. Controversy has trailed the refurbished Senate Chambers since plenary resumed in the facility last week. Last Tuesday’s plenary was trailed by confusion as some Senators quarreled over sitting arrangements in the renovated chamber. During plenary on Tuesday, complaints over the standard of the Chambers led to a rowdy session which lasted for about 15 minutes and eventually forced the Senate into executive session. The Chief Whip of the Senate and lawmaker representing Borno South, Ali Ndume, who raised the issues through Order 42 of the Senate Standing Rules, said, “What is supposed to be a Chamber, has been turned into a Conference Hall”, a development which he said is not acceptable. “Mr President, I rise to make disturbing observations on this supposedly renovate

DO NOT OFFEND ONE ANOTHER DELIBERATELY, GOD UNDERSTANDS MOTIVES, SAYS CLERIC. (PHOTO).#PRESS RELEASE


Do not offend one another deliberately, God understands motives, says cleric

The Parish Priest, St Paul's Catholic Church, Akpo, Rev. Fr. Cyriacus Ubah has called on Nigerians not to offend deliberately, emphasizing that God understands motive at which anything is done.

He made the call in a homily during Mass at the Church, in Akpo, Aguata LGA, on September 17.

The cleric said, "Forgiveness is the beauty of Christianity. The rate at which we forgive offenses done to us determines the rate at which God forgives us.

"We offend God often and often plead for forgiveness. The fact that we are among the living today shows that he forgives us and wishes that we forgive one another accordingly.

He enjoined Nigerians, especially politicians not to take advantage of forgiveness to steal people's mandate, assassinate characters or even take away lives believing that forgiveness covers them.

"For the fact that Reverend Fathers, pastors, preach forgiveness, do not give anybody impetus to step on their toes, unleash mayhem on them hoping to be forgiven."

He wondered why person who is not bad upstairs will walk into the Church of God, Chapel, to remove anything in the name of stealing, declaring such action as dangerous.

He added that God who is love, forgiveness, merciful, is also a consuming fire, urging men to put fear of God in anything they wish to do. (Ministry of Information)
