Thausands of Pro-Gun Supporters in US wants Piers Morgan Deported

 

Pro-Gun activists in the US want outspoken CNN host and British national, Piers Morgan, deported from the country following anti-gun comments he made in the wake of the Newtown tragedy.

Close to 70, 000 people have signed the petition demanding that Piers be deported immediately because according to them 'He is engaged in a hostile attack against the U.S. Constitution by targeting the Second Amendment. And also for his effort to undermine the Bill of Rights and for exploiting his position as a national network television host to stage attacks against the rights of American citizens.'

Fortunately for Piers, millions of Americans are behind him and support the ban of assault weapons.

Nigeriams Criticise President Goodluck for Xmas Message

Our president came under serious criticism from Nigerians after he posted his Christmas message on his Facebook page yesterday. See what he wrote below...

I want to seize this opportunity to wish you and your loved ones a merry Christmas and a happy New Year in advance. I feel the pains of Nigerians and that is why this Yuletide I have personally instructed that our roads be worked on to enable you and your loved ones to travel safely for the holidays.

Christ the reason for this season

*For to us a child is born, to us a son is given—Isaiah 9: 6

WE are in that special season once again, a season of joy, of peace, of great tidings. A season when we celebrate the birth of Christ the King, the redeemer of mankind! Jesus is the reason for the season.
What does Christmas mean to you and me? I will like to draw reference from the views of two writers. The first is J. C Penney who wrote, 'Christmas is not just a time for festivity and merry making. It is more than that. It is a time for the contemplation of eternal things. The Christmas spirit is a spirit of giving and forgiving.'
Next is the thought provoking words of George F. McDougall 'Christmas means a spirit of love, a time when the love of God and the love of our fellow men should prevail over all hatred and bitterness, a time when our thoughts and deeds and the spirit of our lives manifest the presence of God
