Pope Francis visits mosque in Central African Republic



Pope Francis this morning visited a mosque at the Central African Republic, the last country he will be visiting in Africa. Pope Francis met with Muslim leaders and Muslim faithfuls at the central Koudoukou mosque in the PK5 district, the last Muslim enclave in Bangui. He rode his motorcade with some Muslim leaders as he made his way to the mosque.
“Christians and Muslims are brothers and sisters. Together, we must say no to hatred, to revenge and to violence, particularly that violence which is perpetrated in the name of a religion or of God himself,” he said to his mostly-Muslim audience who were sitting on the floor, listening quietly.





The chief imam at the mosque, Tidiani Moussa Naibi, thanked pope Francis for his visit, which he said was “a symbol which we all understand”.
Some Muslims who were living in the mosque after being forced out of their homes by the violence. “We are very proud to welcome
him. The pope is not only for the Christians, he is a servant of God for all Central Africans,” said Ibrahim Paulin, a spokesman for the displaced.
Armed UN peacekeepers were positioned on the mosque’s minarets and a helicopter hovered overhead. At the edge of the district, armed Muslim rebels stood in front of wooden barricades, watching for any threat from Christian vigilante groups.

The visit came towards the end of the pope’s six-day Africa tour, which included visits to Kenya and Uganda. After celebrating mass in a sports stadium, Pope Francis departed for Rome.

Kobe Bryant to retire at end of NBA season



NBA champion Kobe Bryant, widely regarded as one of the greatest
basketball players in history, will retire at the end of the season.
Bryant has scored 32,683 points during a 20-year career with the LA Lakers to rank third on the NBA's all-time list.

The two-time Olympic gold medallist, 37, has been hindered by injuries in
recent seasons and has been below his best this year for the Lakers.
He told the Players' Tribune: "My body knows it's time to say goodbye."
Bryant has averaged more than 25 points per game in his 1,293 NBA matches.
 His final game is set to be at home against Utah on 13 April.
'I can't love you obsessively for much longer'
The Lakers have won just two of their 16 matches so far this season, with
Bryant averaging 15.7 points per game.

In a poem entitled 'Dear Basketball', Bryant announced "this season is all I
have left to give".
The Philadelphia-born player added: "You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker
dream. And I'll always love you for it. But I can't love you obsessively for
much longer."
He ended the poem without hinting at what he might do next.
"We both know, no matter what I do next, I'll always be that kid, with the rolled
up socks, garbage can in the corner, :05 seconds on the clock, ball in my
hands," he wrote.

Bryant was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player in 2008 and selected for
the NBA All-Star team on 17 occasions.
He won Olympic gold with the United States in 2008 and 2012.

backbone of your success and failure.
You must respect your fans and the people that contributed in one way or the other to your success because there is no artist that can come out and say he or she is an island."

"You have to have some level of humility. It is not by force that you must greet everybody you see on the road but you have to know how you put yourself out there. "

Ambode Makes Massive Donation To Police, RRS


Governor of lagos state Akinwunmi Ambode showed his willingness to put an end to the raging insecurity in the state by donating security equipment and vehicles to the state police command and the Rapid Response Squad valued at N4.765bn.
The governor officially donated the equipment to security operatives on
Friday, November 27 at the state house in Ikeja in an attempt to put an end
to the growing concern expressed by Lagosians on the issue of insecurity.
The governor charged the security officials to deploy the equipment
effectively as Lagosians would no longer accept excuses.



Equipment donated include 100 4-door salon cars, 55 Ford Ranger pick-ups,
10 Toyota land cruiser pick-ups, 15 BMW power bikes, 100 power bikes,
Isuzu trucks, three helicopters, two gun boats, 15 armoured personnel
carriers, revolving lights, siren and public address system, vehicular radio
communicators, security gadgets including bullet proof vests, helmets,
handcuffs, uniforms, kits and improved insurance and death benefit
schemes for officers.
Governor Ambode noted that with the new development, the state was now
on par with other modern cities across the world in terms of security.

“Our Police Command will have its operations significantly driven by the right
technology and equipment that will match the emerging sophistication of crime in our contemporary time.
“Members of the Police Command have been undergoing training to better
equip them for the job. We have also rebranded the Rapid Response Squad of the State police Command to give them a new identity.
“Given the encouraging partnership and support of well-meaning citizens and corporate organisations, we are on course to making our State a safe haven only for law abiding citizens.
“We say to whom much is given, much is expected. Law enforcement officers
are never ‘off duty.’ They are dedicated public servants who are sworn to
protect the public at any time and place. Lagosians will not accept excuses.”
The governor urged President Muhammadu Buhari to support Lagos in the
fight against insecurity as whatever happened in Lagos would impact on the
whole country.
He also urged Lagosians to use the security line, 112, to communicate
suspicious persons and activities.
