Bayelsa State Government has announced activities for its 8th annual thanksgiving day celebration.
Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Daniel Iworiso-Markson, during a media briefing in Yenagoa, said activities for the three days’ spiritual programme will hold on Thursday, October 31 and Friday, November 1 with a solemn assembly, and end on Saturday, November 2 with the thanksgiving.
Iworiso-Markson called on Bayelsans to come out en masse and be part of the event, which is the last of the Restoration Government of Governor Seriake Dickson.
He said this year’s thanksgiving, with the theme, “The Covenant Keeping God,” is crucial because it is coming just before the all-important governorship election slated for November 16.
“It is important for all Bayelsans to come together to be part of the thanksgiving irrespective of political party affiliations or religious divide,” he said.
He noted that Bayelsa is the only state in the country that sets aside a day to thank God for His many blessings on the people and the land, which he stressed has been the reason the state has been sustained in peace throughout the administration.
“Let me emphasise that the thanksgiving is non-partisan and all Bayelsans should participate irrespective of political affiliations because the thanksgiving is too precious to be politicised. We are celebrating the 8th edition of the annual thanksgiving day and it is something we should not take lightly. We give all praise to God Almighty for preserving us as a government and as a people up till this point. This administration is the first since the creation of Bayelsa to serve for eight years, and it is attributable to the way in which Governor Dickson leads the state in prayers and thanks to God, which reiterates the fact that he is God-sent to Bayelsa.
“There is no People’s Democratic Party and there is no All Progressives Congress. This thanksgiving is for all Bayelsans, it doesn’t matter the political party you belong to. We believe very strongly that as our state is the glory of all lands, we can set aside our differences and commit the forthcoming election into God’s hands because we believe this election will be peaceful,” he said.
The thanksgiving committee Secretary, David Yalah, said the Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, will lead other ministers, including Wale Oke, David Zilly Aggrey, among others, at the event.
He said the peace being enjoyed in Bayelsa today speaks volumes of God’s leading through the years made possible by Governor Dickson’s love for seeking the Almighty’s face every step of the way.
Also, another member of the thanksgiving committee, Precious  Precious said under the Restoration administration, the church has enjoyed a serene environment to preach the gospel and operate its activities like never before.
He thanked Governor Dickson for championing the cause of christianity, adding that it is the reason God’s attention has been drawn to Bayelsa as shown in the many blessings the land has enjoyed.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

 Sky Sports were left red-faced after an on-screen graphic mistakenly introduced Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as Noni Madueke on Tuesday night. The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley. But when Disasi spoke to Sky Sports after the game, an on-screen graphic introduced him as Madueke instead. Madueke is four years younger than his Chelsea teammate, plays in a different role and is English, while Disasi is French. Viewers immediately spotted the mistake and took to social media to flag up the glaring error.  Sky Sports with a huge mistake as that is Axel Disasi, not Noni Madueke,' another added, while a third described the gaffe as a 'howler'. A fourth commented: 'Sky sports calling Disasi Madueke. They’ve done it again.' Disasi scored Chelsea's third goal in the 6-1 rout, converting Raheem Sterling's cross at the far post after th
