The "fiscal cliff" is a term used describe a bundle of momentous U.S.
federal tax increases and spending cuts that are due to take effect at
the end of 2012 and early 2013. In total, the measures are set to
automatically slash the federal budget deficit by $503 billion between
FY 2012 and FY 2013, according to the most recent Congressional Budget Office (CBO) projections (PDF).
If these numbers are converted to calendar year 2013, however, this
contraction would be substantially higher, close to 4 percent of GDP.
The abrupt onset of such significant budget austerity in the midst of a
still-fragile economic recovery has led most economists to warn of a
double-dip recession and rising unemployment in 2013 if Washington fails
to intervene in a timely fashion.
But many analysts questions what action, if any, will be taken either in
the lame duck session of the 112th Congress or in the early days of
2013. While legislative inaction could have deleterious economic effects
in the short term, analysts say putting off or cancelling all of the
measures without a longer-term deficit deal in place would be equally
dangerous for the U.S. economy.

I WILL BUY MY OWN JET TOO---BISHOP TOM SAMSON BLASTS CRITICS
Bishop Tom Samson of Christ Royal Family International Church speaks His mind on the raging issue of pastors having private jets.
"Don’t the state governors own jets? Doesn’t the President have a jet? Does the Nigerian government give everybody money to buy food? No. They only make facilities available. The Bible says it will give you power to get wealth. The government only provides the enabling environment for you to be comfortable in life by providing jobs. When I was going to Abuja the other day, I spent three hours at the airport. On another occasion, I was coming from Abuja for a meeting in Lagos,

2 ARRESTED OVER THE MURDER OF AFGHAN TEENAGER
Police in northeastern Kunduz province have arrested two men
suspected of the near-decapitation of a 15-year-old girl after the
rejection of a marriage proposal, according to a district chief.
One of the alleged
suspects had proposed to the girl, Gaiseena, through her family last
year, but she had rejected him, said Amanuddin Quraishi, chief of Imam
Sahib district.
The two men allegedly
attacked and killed her on Monday about a hundred meters from her house,
while she was bringing water for her family, he said.
Quraishi, the top person at the local level, could not confirm whether the suspects were relatives.
Kunduz is the same
province where four Afghan Local Police (ALP) officers this month were
sentenced -- two of them for 16 years -- for raping a woman.
The Interior Ministry
controls ALP, a separate entity from the Afghan National Police that
critics liken to an unchecked armed militia.
In that case, the
18-year-old's mother said rape had brought shame upon the family and
that without government help, her daughter should be killed.

OPINION: PASTOR TONY RAPU'S STAND ON PASTOR AYO ORITSEJAFOR'S PRIVATE JET
The controversy surrounding Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor’s recent
receipt of the gift of a jet has cast a harsh glare of scrutiny on the
Church and its leaders. It has also caused no small dissension among
pastors and Christians. This has been amplified by the social media
where the vigorous debate has gone viral. As president of the Christian Association of Nigeria and the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria,
he is seen not only as an important and influential figure in Christian
circles but also, the most prominent
RAPE IS A VILE AND ITS VICTIMS ARE NOT TO BLAME
Chidi Anselm Odinaku
Violence against women is a dreadfully brutal and
pervasive crime. In many countries, those who are responsible for
preventing, eliminating and ensuring accountability for it mostly fail
to recognise it as such, tolerate it or simply blame the victims for
being violated. On the 31st Anniversary of the International Day of
Action on Violence against Women – November 25, law enforcement and
public officers in Nigeria must commit to a programme of action to
change this.
On Friday, November 23, 2012, I attended a workshop
OUR OPINION: DO NOT FALL FOR THE PHCN PROMO. IT IS A SCAM!
You do not treat people as fools and yet expect the best
from them. It is highly unjust, when we expect our
followers to deliver greater than the value we place on them. When the formal
American president, Bill Clinton was publicly accused of having affair with Monica
Lewinsky, after he tried to sweep it away and could not, he swallowed his pride
and publicly acknowledged the affair and he was forgiven. When leaders begin to
act like gods that do not err, catastrophe will always dictate the pace at
every point in time. This is exactly what is happening in leadership in the country.
So, it was a great surprise to me, when I saw a document
attached to my electricity bill of a Promo

DOES THE NATIONAL ANTHEM INSPIRE YOU?
Azuka Onwuka
I don’t understand what the Germans say
in their national anthem, but anytime I hear the tune during a World Cup
match or other sporting event, I feel like shedding tears. Maybe, it is
because the tune is the same as that of a church hymn I know and love:
“Austria”. Maybe, it is because the tune is soulful and yet uplifting.
Whatever the reason, the tune of the German anthem feels good. I never
lived in George Orwell’s Animal Farm with Snowball, Napoleon and co, but
any time I sing the “Beasts of England” anthem in that little but
powerful book, I get close to tears. The tune and the words can make
someone kill for his fatherland.
I am a graduate of the University of
Nigeria, and any time I hear the anthem of that university, I feel a
deep sense of nostalgia and feel proud that I am a product of that
institution. The anthem of UNN makes all Lions and Lionesses feel like a
special breed of graduates. When students and graduates of UNN chant
the refrain of their anthem, they feel they can conquer the world:
“My Alma Mater, my Alma Mater,
Noble are thy looks and thy ideals;
And great art thou in Science and in Art.
In other realms of learning,
Thou art all sublime.”
I did my National Youth Service Corps
programme with joy, but right from the orientation camp to this day, any
time I hear the anthem of the

TO WHOSE INTEREST IS THE EXHUMATION OF THE FORMAL PALESTINIAN PRESIDENT, YESSER ARAFAT?
Swiss, French and Russian experts will take samples to establish
whether his death in Paris in 2004 at the age of 75 was the result of
poisoning.
France began a murder inquiry in August after Swiss experts found radioactive polonium-210 on his personal effects.
Arafat's medical records say he had a stroke resulting from a blood disorder.
His widow, Suha, objected to a post-mortem at the time, but asked the Palestinian Authority to permit the exhumation "to reveal the truth".

10 REASONS WHY A WOMAN SHOULD BE THE NEXT CIA NUMBER ONE
Choosing a woman isn't
just about narrowing the intelligence community gender gap. It's also
about drawing from the whole pool of talent to ensure the best national
security apparatus and responding to Americans' apparent desire for more
women in government. Here are the Top 10 reasons President Obama should
name a woman as the next CIA director.
1) It would inspire more women to enter the fields of foreign policy and intelligence.
The intelligence and foreign policy community is predominantly male.
According to a 2009 report published by Women in International Security,
women comprise about 13% of the Senior Intelligence Service, and between 21% and 29% of key agencies that grapple with national security matters, like the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Department of Defense. That should be rectified.
2) The November 6 elections showed Americans want to see more women in senior government positions. Women make up 20% of the Senate,
I AM NOT ASHAMED TO OWN A PLANE. IT IS NOT A LUXURY--PASTOR ORITSEJAFOR BLASTS. A MUST READ INTERVIEW
Well, let me begin like this, this is a major issue, especially now
that I have just been presented with a gift of a jet. That makes it a
major issue. Let me say here that every pastor must be conscious of the
people he pastors. It is very important. I can tell you that as a pastor
for 40 years now, if you talk to people that are genuinely my members,
they will tell you the kind of pastor that am I.
If you watched me today, I was talking about a young man who has been trying to go to a university for three years now. I didn’t know him from Adam. One day, after a service here, one of my pastors brought him to me. As soon as he saw me, he held my legs and began to cry! He showed me all the papers, pleading that he had tried to gain admission to any university here, it never worked.
So he finally got admission to study in Cyprus. I paid his school fees, helped him with ticket and everything he needed, he’s gone. He has since resumed school and is there in Cyprus now. How many people will know that? In the last s even to eight years now, I have paid school fees of over 100 people in different universities, polytechnics and colleges of education.
Some of them have graduated and have come here to share their testimonies, excitements and even their parents have come here to thank us. I don’t know them from anywhere. Every December 26, I do a very big thing here. We call it poverty alleviation.
This year, December 26, we will equally do it. Last December 26, I gave out about six brand new cars to people; your denomination means nothing.

WORLD MOST EXPENSIVE CAR PARK SPACE
Nestled within Hong Kong's dense skyscraper jungle, a $640,000
property sits among some of the world's most expensive commercial and
residential spaces.The price might sound like a steal. This Asian financial capital has the world's priciest property, according to Savills. Since the start of 2010, average Hong Kong home prices have doubled. But the price tag mentioned here is neither for a home nor an office.
It is for a parking

MAIDUGUIRI MASSACRE: ABOUT 20 YOUNG LADIES WERE KILLED FOR WEARING TROUSERS, BUM SHORTS AND MINI SKIRTS
Wonder shall never end.It is so disheartening that Maiduguri is gradually moving towards a failed state, where lawlessness is given a platform to thrive. About 10 people were reported to have been killed by unknown gun men yesterday. About
twenty ladies who were wearing mini skirts, bum shorts and trousers were slaughtered
in their separate apartment in Maiduguri early today by yet to be identified
gunmen.
This ugly development is one of its kind, as many believed that most of the daily killings in Borno are only targeted at men and security agencies.
The slaughtering of about twenty different ladies our Correspondent gathered took place in the early hours of Friday precisely at about 1 to 2am when most of residents were still asleep in their houses due to Curfew imposed on the state in the past five months. It is terrible.

NIGERIANS SHOULD GIVE JONATHAN A SECOND TERM OPPORTUNITY AND SHUN HATRED-----REP
Emoto, a former Chief Whip of the Bayelsa House of Assembly, said
that Nigerians must shun divisive tendencies, hatred and religious
bigotry in order to attain political development.

Only few could have been surprised of the sack of the Chelsea football coach, Di mateo, after the outing blunder that brought them to the edge collapse in the Champion's league at the group stage. It was quite unacceptable for the football club after securing the long awaited champion's league trophy last season.
And for those who care to know more, this fall is not surprising for some of us who had been following the trend at the bridge for the past two seasons under the current PSG football club, Anceloti. It became obvious under Andre Villa Boas. AVB alleged that there was a Cabal in the club especially among the so called senior players who would not allow the club to succeed as it should.

HOW COULD THE LIFE OF MR HAMSAT COME TO A VIOLENT END?----GOV FASHOLA
In a statement today, Fashola described as most unfortunate, shocking
and heart rending, the fatal attack on his former Special Adviser on
Health, Mr Toyin Hamzat.
According to the Governor, it was a supreme irony of life that such a man of peace who gave so much in the service of his nation and community could come to such a violent end.

opened it and placed her phone inside the casket. After
that they tried to carry the body. It could now be
moved and they carried it away easily.

PALESTINIAN MILITANTS KILLED 3 ISRAELITES. HAS THE WAR BEGUN?
Rockets and shells crisscrossed the skies over southern Israel and
Gaza on Thursday as Palestinian militants continued rocket attacks on
Israeli civilians and Israel pounded what it called terror sites.
Israel reported three
people were killed, and Palestinians reported 18 deaths, including three
killed late Thursday. Hamas gave conflicting information as to how many
of them were Hamas militants.

Gaza have been fired into Israel since "Operation Pillar of Defense"

PETRAEUS: 5 THINGS TO LEARN FROM THE FALL OF THE CIA DIRECTOR
1. Powerful men,
no matter how brilliant and accomplished, can suffer from a form of
temporary insanity caused by the interaction of arrogance and libido.
Sadly, this is a lesson we see repeated
time and time again, across national borders, destroying promising
careers and even changing the course of history. Nothing, it seems, not
even the highest IQs, the most exclusive security clearances, or the
tangible risk of losing it all for the sake of a tryst will stop certain
men from pursuing an illicit relationship. Yes, powerful women do it
too, but the cases are rare.On the other hand, the parade of men who have destroyed or very nearly killed their careers and their personal lives is endless.
2. Anything you write in an e-mail can be used against you.
Nothing is private,
especially not when it goes through Google (Gmail's) hands. If
America's top spy, the head of the CIA, can get caught writing secret
love letters to his girlfriend on Gmail, nobody's e-mails are safe.
Petraeus and his clandestine girlfriend, Paula Broadwell, took some troubles to keep their illicit correspondence safe. They

OUR OPINION: THE PETROLEUM REVENUE TASK FORCE. WHO GOT IT WRONG? RIBADU OR OROSANYE?
It is so unfortunate, that the January
subsidy saga could come to this point. The Petroleum Revenue Task Force (18-man
committee) headed by Mallam Nuhu Ribadu
officially submitted her report before
the Federal Executive Council last week. And right before the entire house
including the President, brouhaha broke out among the 18-man committee on the
validation and authenticity of the report. Mr Steve Orosanye made an open
challenge against the submitted report, that, some petroleum agencies such as
DPR, PPPRA etc were not carried along and some records were not thoroughly
verified which made the report incomplete. Mallam Nuhu Ribadu
also responded in return that, Mr Steve Orosanye did not even participate in
the project as it was expected. That, Oronsanye had some stakes in NNPC in one
form or the other. If true,
