A lot of Nigerians have been empowered by the Federal Government through the creation of various programs and schemes. Some of these empowerment programs provide funds and grants to the beneficiaries in order for them to start up a business.
Recently, the #30,000 artisans grant was disbursed to the first batch of beneficiaries of the program and this was disclosed on twitter.
However, with respect to the #30,000 grant, BVN holders whose accounts have not been credited should read this if they applied for the artisans grant.
BVN holders that applied for the grant should know that payment is still ongoing and also, they should know that only the first batch of beneficiaries of the artisans grant are being paid.
So, BVN holders whose accounts have not been credited and they applied for the should exercise more patience and wait for the Federal Government to pay them.

These days it is becoming hard to tell the difference between fashion and indecent dressing because a lot of fashion styles that are now accepted in our today's world, would have been considered as indecent back in the '80s.
In a 1.28 minute video, the pastor is seen accosting two girls taking a walk down the streets. He seemed particularly interested in one of the girls whose dressing he considered indecent and seductive
The pastor cautioned the girl for dressing in a way that exposed sensitive parts of her body and told her that he would deliver her from the spirit of indecent dressing. Judging by the reactions of the ladies, one could tell that they were not acquainted with the pastor
The girl who the pastor was more interesting in begged him to get out of her way and she tried to shove him off, but he overpowered her and prevented her from leaving. She was forced to listen to all he had to say consigning indecent dressing
The pastor told the girl that if she continues to dress seductively she will not be able to attract responsible men and he ordered her to kneel so he could pray for her.
The girl knelt and after he prayed for her he handed some cash to her and told her to buy some decent clothes with it
Reacting to the video some people expressed their disappointment in what the pastor did to the lady as they tagged it as harassment. Others felt that what the pastor did was right as
In a recent video shared online, the pastor who identified himself as Pastor Chima has come out to reply to Daddy Freeze and all those who criticized him
Pastor Chima alleged that OAP Daddy Freeze called him a devilish pastor and he is disappointed in Daddy Freeze for that. He said, "Indecent dressing is becoming common and I delivered a lady from indecent dressing, and instead of daddy freeze to be happy he called me a devilish pastor". He then called on God to fight for him
I have read articles about how lucrative the business is and how to invest and reap millions.. All I do is just to laugh on reading such article.. All they want is just for u to buy their manual and make money.. Surprisingly most of them don't have a farm of their own, they are computer farmers who don't have any experience whatsoever in the business..
I know of farms within my area who have shut down their farms due to frequent loss over the years.. I was also considering shutting down myself after I lost close to 2 million naira, yeah u heard me TWO MILLION NAIRA, but after diligent study which took about a year I decided to give it my last shot..
To be continued..

The Muslim rights group also remind the governors of Eastern and South-South states as the chief security officers in their respective states of their responsibility to protect all citizens under them.
