Jonathan Visits Ife Again, Meets Yoruba Leaders

We informed you earlier that the Nigerian Air Force NAF-280 chopper was sighted hovering over Obafemi Awolowo University campus yesterday. Just as it was predicted, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was in Ife earlier today at the palace of Ooni of Ife, Oba Okunade Sijuade to meet with Yoruba Obas in furtherance of his intensified re-election campaign.

OAU Students Jostle For Kumuyi's Seat After Crusade

The respected cleric and General Superindent of the Deeper Life Christian Ministry, Pastor W. F. Kumuyi was in Obafemi Awolowo University for the first time in about thirty years in the course of this week for a two-day crusade tagged: Power in the name of Jesus; a programme put together by the Christian Mobilization Committee of the varsity.

Kumuyi while preaching to thousands of people at the new crusade ground, said, “Nigerians should take their destiny in their hands. People should not be discouraged by whatever problems they are facing now, either as individuals or as a nation”.

He noted that there were two different kinds of people in the world, saying while some saw themselves as “grasshoppers”, others equally looked themselves as “conquerors”.

He said, “There is need to be like the biblical Caleb, who never allowed the towering, scary figure of the giants they saw to dissuade him from entering the land of Canaan. Caleb gave a positive account of what he saw and encouraged others to be optimistic. You are what you think you are.”

At the end of the crusade on the first day, just as Pastor Kumuyi stepped down the podium, scores of people at the venue of the crusade ran towards the podium to seat and touch the seat where Kumuyi stood up from. It was not clear what motivated their action but our conversation with one of those that jostled for the seat revealed that they believe their action with faith can give them their desired miracle just as the woman with the issue of blood in the bible did.

The program was brought to a close the second morning after a Bible Study session.

Nigerian Air Force NAF-280 Hovers Over OAU Campus Again

By Abiodun Omonijo

For those who remember, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan paid a visit to Obafemi Awolowo University in the first week of December, 2014 when he had a meeting with Yoruba elders as part of moves to garner votes towards the forthcoming elections.

Meanwhile, It was also widely reported in the media, that the President was booed (and stoned) by disgruntled students of the University community, an allegation which was denied by the University authority.

Today however, the Nigerian Air Force, NAF 280 chopper which was used in conveying the President off the University campus was sited again as it landed on the University’s football pitch, the same place where it landed about three months ago. The pilots and crew of the chopper alighted and were seen discussing with members of OAU security team which included the deputy Chairman of the Security Committee, Prof Sola Ajayi, the Chief Security officer, Dr Paul Ogidi and other officers.

After about an hour of landing and discussion, at about 3:30pm-4:30pm, crews of the NAF 280 boarded and took off in the chopper. What is however surprising is that for a couple of minutes after takeoff, the chopper kept hovering over the University campus.

This is a norm with security agents making an aerial surveillance of a place before the arrival of National personalities to ensure maximum security.

This however raised questions of whether the President or another dignitary would be on a return visit to Ile-Ife as elections draw even more closer.
