Dear Joshua, Please keep my birth data secret, but I want you to analyse my horoscope bluntly so that I can know who am I; talking about my personality. Who am I ? Mike, Kano. Dear Mike, What you will find here under will prove useful if you take them seriously and utilise them. ANALYSIS OF YOUR HOROSCOPE DATA/PLAN- ETARY PLACEMENT Aries that hosted the most important heavenly body (the Sun) together with indicator of mental focus lens-Mercury, is known for special leadership quality and higher degree of positive aggressiveness. Yes you were endowed with leadership talents which can manifest either in the business world or POLITICS and probably both. It is true that Aries can be very aggressive, but with many planets placed in more mild Star signs, with less than 50% of push-full influence, loving Venus as most influential planet when you were born, certainly aggression of Aries is greatly water down to the minimum . That is not to say you are the timid type but yours is a balanced personality. You are gentle, honest and straight forward person. Preponderance of fixed and earth in your chart are pointers to the fact that you are the careful type who will not change his mind just for the fun of it. Then as peace loving Venus was the most influential planet when you were born, peace and harmony will always come first whenever you want to take any (important and/or) decisive action. Placement of mighty Sun (indicator of basic-self hood) the Moon (indicator of sub-conscious self/emotion) and the Stallion (that is more than two planets in one Star sign} in Aries, Pisces and Taurus respectively meant that basic characteristics of the three Star signs stated in this paragraph are highly pronounced in your inner-self..

According to him, the essence of the visit was to solicit more cooperation from critical stakeholders in Why PFN was neutral during 2019 elections — EKWOK By Emma Una C PENTECOSTAL ALABAR— Fellowship of Nigeria, PFN, will continue to speak out against acts of injustice, ethnic conflicts and societal ills but will not adopt a political party as its chosen platform for members to contest or vote for during elections which was the reason it remained neutral during the just concluded elections. Dr. Lawrence Ekwok, Chairman of the Cross River State chapter of PFN, who stated this, yesterday, after his inauguration for a second tenure said PFN was an umbrella that accommodates diverse Christian churches whose members spread across all the political parties, therefore, it can only advise members to vote for those with the fear of God and proven integrity and not on party basis. “The last elections fell short of the standard of elections we have seen in this country in recent times. It may not be in all places but in most places and since the election matters are now in the tribunals, I cannot speak much on what I think the elections were until the cases have been decided,'' he said. the state, in order to ensure adequate safety of corps members, who are on national assignment. Recalled that hoodlums had on March 20, invaded a corps members’ lodge in Yenagoa, the state capital and killed two corps members and left several others injured. His words: “We want your cooperation to ensure the safety of these corps members and their lodges. Why I am saying this is because you are critical stakeholders when it comes to security. “Please, look after our children, there are our national assets. We discovered that Bayelsa State is volatile when it comes to security,” the DG said. In his remark, Major General Obinna Onubogu, Commander of the 16 Brigade, represented by Lt- Col. Suleiman Abdullahi, Commander of the Brigade Garrison described NYSC as critical to national development. Onubogu commended the NYSC DG on his tour and pledged more support in order to improve the safety of corps members in the state. Mr Shola David, Police Commissioner in the state also assured the NYSC DG of Police commitment to the safety of corps members. “I assure you that cult attacking corps members will come to an end. In this state, cultism and drug related crimes are problem but we will get to the end of them,” he stated. “Engr Adjogbe, acting EDP of NDDC, has impacted lives of Niger Deltans and equally transformed the socioeconomic life of the area through the various developmental projects embarked upon by the commission. “All the communities in the Niger Delta are currently linked up with accessible roads, water, schools, electricity etc. With the EDP determination of making huge impact, we are confident that in the nearest future, the complain of the people will be a thing of the past. “We therefore, call on all to give the commission a peaceful environment to implement the policy of the commission so as to deliver the goal of democracy and President Muhammadu’s Buhari agenda for the Niger Delta people. “We as the Urhobo Leaders of Thoughts hereby, pass this implicate vote on these worthy Urhobo sons.” 112 Delta Prisons inmates regain freedom Judge, Justice Marshal Umukoro, has released a total of 112 inmates from the Sapele, Kwale and Ogwashi-Uku prisons, saying the state government had set aside the sum of N7. 4 million to liquidate fines of convicted inmates. Among the inmates released was an alleged cancer patient. Justice Umukoro said he was touched by the pitiable condition of the patient, adding that it was improper to continue to detain the patient when he cannot be tried because of ill health. He also expressed worry over the way youths of between ages of 25 and 30 years are involved in vice, blaming it on desperation for quick money. He appealed to youths to shun temptations to indulge in vice.

We must ensure that those here are remanded by court of competent jurisdiction have allegedly committed an offence known to law. “We shall also look at your health status, because it is the living we shall try. We shall also look at the ages of inmates because we do not want to support or be part of the process where juveniles are brought here. If we find such persons here, we shall release such persons or make an appropriate order for such individuals to be remanded in the remand home in Sapele,” he said. PDP candidate accuses elected Edo Assemblyman of certificate forgery...‘He should take his defeat in good faith' By Alemma Aliu BENIN CITY—THE newly elected lawmaker representing Ovia North East Constituency I of the Edo State House of Assembly, Dumez Onaiwu Ugiagbe has been accused by his opponent, Nosa Omoregie of forging his Secondary School Leaving Certificate, alleging that he was not the person that sat for the examination. Omoregie, a Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, member alleged at a briefing in Benin City, that Ugiagbe of the All Progressives Congress, APC, was frustrating police investigation by writing a counter petition to the Inspector General of Police while he was yet to appear before the police in Edo State to respond to the allegation of forgery. But reacting, Ugiagbe denied the allegation, saying that Omoregie was a bad loser in the election. He said: “I own my certificate and the matter is already in court. He went to police and influenced one Blessing to write petition against me and as the matter is going on, they have not taken my statement, they say they have concluded their investigation. I don’t have confidence in the police here in Benin anymore, hence I told my lawyer to write to Abuja, so that the matter can be investigated properly. All he is saying is not true. The matter is in court and my lawyer is handling it. Since he has lost election, he should take it in good faith than raising issue of forged certificate.”
