WE ALL END UP ALONE....

Life is journey and we all come alone with nothing and will definitely go back alone.  Take for instance the scene of a funeral being conducted.  There are always sympathizers and wailers. Infact some people will so cry that you will assume they won't leave the place after the burial. But watch and see what happens after the person is six feet below. No matter the size of the crowd,they will all disperse and no one will be left.  The person six feet below is left by his or herself. No one cares anymore and what is left is just memories.  It will the person alone continuing his journey in the great beyond.  Live your life in such a way that when you are alone, you have nothing to fear....

The budget is made up of N131.1 billion capital expenditure and N85.44 billion recurrent expenditure.

Jerusalem, revered by Jews, Christians and Muslims alike, is home to Islam’s third holiest site and has been at the heart of Israeli-Palestinian conflict for decades.
