Sir Shina Peters ordained as Bishop

Peters has been given an ordination as bishop in Cherubim and Seraphim church.

The afro-juju star was ordained at a ceremony held at a Cherubim and Seraphim Church in the Iju area of Lagos on Saturday, January 30, 2021.

Peters took to his Instagram page where he shared a video from the ordination.

"Bishop with the swagger. God above all," he captioned the video.

Born Oluwashina Akanbi Peters in Ogun State, in 1958, the music star's career in music began at a young age when he played with friends.

The music veteran rose to prominence in the 1980s after he released his first album Ace (Afro-Juju Series 1).

The album went on to garner awards for Peters including the artist and album of the Year at the Nigerian Musical Awards.

He followed 'Ace' with 'Shinamania'; the album had singles such as 'Oluwa Yo Pese', 'Omo Bo' and 'Give Our Women Chance'.

He is married with children.

February 1, 2021 Ganduje: Ban Movement Of Cattle From North To South

Ganduje: Ban Movement Of Cattle From North To South

Kano State governor, ABDULLAHI GANDUJE, has suggested that there should be a law banning the movement of cattle from the north to the south.

He disclosed this to journalists after he and other All Progressives Congress governors met with President BUHARI in Daura, Katsina State.

GANDUJE said his administration is already constructing a settlement for herders in a forest near the state’s border with Katsina.

He also spoke about what he expects from the newly appointed service chiefs.

My advocacy is that we should abolish the transportation or trekking of herdsmen from the Northern part of Nigeria to the Middle Belt and to the Southern part of Nigeria.

“There should be a law that will ban, otherwise we cannot control the conflicts between herdsmen and farmers and cannot control the cattle rustling which is affecting us greatly,” He said.

 

February 1, 2021 Patrick Reed Cruises To Five Shot Victory At Torrey Pines

Patrick Reed Cruises To Five Shot Victory At Torrey Pines

American Patrick Reed claimed his ninth career title by cruising to a five-shot triumph in the Farmers Insurance Open.

The 30-year-old began the day tied for the lead at 10 under with Mexico's Carlos Ortiz but eased to victory with a four-under 68 at Torrey Pines.

Reed benefitted from a controversial free drop on the 10th on Saturday but there were no signs of the incident affecting him on the final day.

"I hung in there after everything that transpired yesterday," he said.

"I felt mentally strong throughout the round," added the former Masters champion.

"When I spoke to the rules officials they said I did everything I could. I felt great throughout the day. I was able to go out there and shoot a low number and get the job done."

Ortiz had a tough day, carding a five-over final round to finish in 19th place, and it was left to rising Norwegian star Viktor Hovland to apply a little pressure on Reed.

Hovland made four birdies in six holes to reach the turn in 32 though, which meant Reed had to play solidly on the back nine in California to secure the title.

He duly did so, making eight straight birdies and then a birdie at the last to put the gloss on a comfortable victory, while Hovland fell away with bogeys at the 14th, 15th and then on 17 when he missed a putt of barely two feet.

Spain's Jon Rahm carded a disappointing closing 72 to finish tied seventh while former Open champion Francesco Molinari of Italy continued his return to form with a closing 66 to share 10th.

Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy came home in three over to finish in 16th place on six under par.
