Nnamdi Kalu’s Health, Plane Crash Top Predictions for 2017

Bishop Emmanuel Jatau, presiding Bishop of Faith Hill Prophetic Assembly Worldwide Abuja has listed events that will take place in 2017 in his 77 prophesies.
The Bishop in his new prophesy asked Nigerians and the world at large to pray against many negative occurrences including death, sickness, plane crash, loss of jobs, betrayal among others.
Jatau in his new prophesy said most of the people the minister of transportation Rotimi Amaechi helped will destroy his relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari in 2017.
Below are some of his prophesies for 2017:
1. President Buhari’s love and positive plans for Nigeria has not changed, indeed it will increase in the year 2017. Let us therefore join hands to pray for him and the nation. Oil prices will rise in the year 2017. Government revenue will increase in the year 2017.
2. Chinese and Indian businessmen and their collaborators in the federal Inland Revenue service (FIRS) against remittances of money worth billions to federal government (FG) will be exposed in the year 2017. Church banners etc. shall be subjected to taxation to reduce environmental pollution. This is one of the many taxes that will be introduced by FG in the year 2017.
3. FG will print enough naira in the year 2017 in order to settle domestic debts.
4. In the year 2017, president Buhari will assemble another set of gifted economists that will introduce atypical policies that will put our economy on healthy and sustainable growth path.
5. Buhari should watch and pray against evils of 2016 (budget padding, terrorism, sabotage, betrayal etc.) because they will rear their ugly heads again in the year 2017.
6. Two presidential pilots (Buhari’s personal pilots) shall be removed and replaced in the year 2017. Let none of them lobby to be retained because I see trouble after.
7. I see two additional airports soon in Abuja. Six state governments will copy these. Most of the aircraft accidents shall be happening during the weekends I implore our engineers to loathe negligence and our pilots to be conscientious and prayerful. DANA, AZMAN and ARIK airlines should guard against sabotage between the months of January and June 2017. Let us pray against air disasters particularly in African countries in the year 2017.
8. Let us pray against the death of a popular comedian in Nigerian that may facilitate the death of other comedians.
9. 2017 is a year women will be made to answer for bribery charges more than ever before. Some women presidents and prime ministers will be removed from office through the ballot box, impeachment etc. in the year 2017. Many women working with Buhari will be removed and replaced
10. Other forests in the six geopolitical zone, particularly in the north-east, south-south and south-east should be guarded to truncate (occupation of these forests) the alliance between Al-Shabab and boko haram.
11. Let us help the government of Kaduna state with prayers as he confronts the moneybags being used by Satan to foment trouble in the state. These corruptly rich politicians are employing the services of boko haram fighters to destabilise the state.
12. Some deputy governors in Nigeria will take over from their governors in the year 2017.
13. Nnamdi Kanu may be hospitalized in the early part of the year 2017 if he is not prayerful. Pray that his people do not abandon him
14. Nigerian senior military officers, musicians and pastors should avoid group flights in the year 2017.
15. Saraki, Melaye and other loyalists of the former shall betray each other in the year 2017. Ben Bruce, Dino Melaye and their cohort should beware of the year 2017. I see them destroyed politically except they are prayerful.
16. Treasury crackers and looters in Nigeria (Senators, Governors, politicians, contractors etc.) will jubilate because of their pyrrhic victory against Magu, but God will bring them to judgement through another person sooner than they expect.
17. The appointment of an incorruptible Chief Justice from the southern part of Nigeria shall create a credible judiciary from the year 2017. He will be in the mould of Falana and Fawehinmi (of blessed memory).
18. Lawyers defending prominent Nigerians with corruption charges shall take ill en masse in the year 2017 as a punishment from God. I advise our lawyers to be wary of whom to defend.
19. For refusing to adopt treasury single account (TSA), the sovereign God is sending a government that will temporarily scrap national assembly (NASS) and do the needful. Indeed there is a new government on the way that will strengthen institutions and prevent human excesses in the police, NASS, judiciary etc. in Nigeria and in Africa.
20. President Goodluck Jonathan will be persuaded to contest, and will be defrauded. The fraudsters shall prefer a new party that has Sokoto state governor and Donald Duke on the driver’s seat. Let Goodluck beware of these con men.
21. The people Amaechi helped and established in the APC may destroy his relationship with Mr President in the year 2017/2018 and eventually his political fortune. Let him watch and pray against those that want to bite the finger that fed them.
22. Let us pray against two bomb attacks in Abuja between the months of February and June 2017. It is advised that security at the eastern, northern and western part of Abuja be made watertight. Let us pray against bombs attacks that can destroy rail lines, rail stations, airports, motor parks and seaports in Nigeria and in other nations in the year 2017.
23. The chief of army staff (COAS) shall be elevated in the year 2017 after a fierce battle from those against his elevation.
24. Buhari may be within the country more in the year 2017/2018 as a result of ill health, and this will make Osinbajo to be acting more for the president. Once again pray for good health for the president. Pray for governors Masari and El-rufai against medical evacuation because I see them hurried abroad for medical treatment in the year 2017.
25. Presidents, governors and ministers who served from Shagari to OBJ era should pray against spirit of death in their families in the year 2017.
26. Nigeria should pray against the death of the following people in the year 2017: Two former governors of northeast, northwest, north central as well as two former deputy governors, two senators and former ministers of same regions. Let their counterparts in the southern and eastern part of the country pray against accidents. Let the sitting governors of Benue, Nasarawa and Sokoto states beware of chartered flights. The governors of Taraba, Plateau, Gombe and Calabar states should guard against blood diseases while their counterparts in Ekiti, Kaduna and Niger states should be careful with polo sport, women and occultism.
27. The following states (Adamawa, Anambra, Bauchi, Benue, Delta, Edo, Gombe, Imo, Kaduna, Kogi, Lagos, Nasarawa, Niger, Ogun, Sokoto and Taraba) should pray against weeping and wailing in the year 2017 for their current as well as former political and military leaders.
28. Henry Okah will regain freedom soon like Ibori and they will receive a warm reception from states in the Niger Delta region. Indeed attempts at persuading president Buhari to inviting the duo to visit with him in the Aso villa will be made by some of his party members (for their own selfish political gain). The perceived enemies of the duo should be ready to be paid back in their own coin (Whoever reads, let him understand).
29. I see the Gambian president negotiating for immunity against prosecution before stepping aside.
30. I see Isis leaving Syria in the year 2017 for the following nations (African countries, France, Greece Italy, Rome, Spain, Turkey and UK) where they intend to cause havoc. Let the government of these nations tighten their security, as this is a call for security improvement, not an inexorable doom.
31. Pray for the Vatican City against Isis attack and earthquake. Pray for good health for the pope in the New Year.
32. Terrorists will make use of biological weapons in the year 2017 let us pray against this.

Firms Commit to Boost African Robotics Market

AfricAI and Micropolis Robotics have signed a multi-year exclusive distribution and deployment agreement, which marks one of the continent’s most significant robotics market entries.

Micropolis AI Robotics is a United Arab Emirates-based robotics manufacturer operating in autonomous systems, while AfricAI is a company building practical, revenue-driven artificial intelligence (AI) systems for African businesses, governments, and global partners operating in emerging markets.
According to the agreement, Micropolis Robotics named AfricAI as its exclusive continental partner, prohibiting direct sales, alternative distributors, and third-party agents from operating in the territory.
The partnership establishes AfricAI as the primary execution, localisation, and go-to-market platform for intelligent robotics in Africa’s industrial, security, logistics, and infrastructure sectors.
AfricAI said this exclusive mandate positions the company as the gateway for advanced autonomous systems entering African markets, ensuring regulatory compliance, local capacity building, and sovereign control over deployment frameworks.
The partnership, according to the two parties, moves beyond software- based AI into the realm of physical AI — intelligent machines capable of operating in complex, real-world African environments.
“This is not a collaboration, it is a market-shaping mandate,” said Fareed Aljawhari, CEO of Micropolis Robotics. “AfricAI now represents the exclusive gateway through which Micropolis technologies enter Africa. Their sovereign AI vision, operational reach, and regulatory fluency make them the only partner capable of executing at a continental scale.
Furthermore, the agreement enables AfricAI to integrate Micropolis’ autonomous robotics systems with AfricAI’s sovereign AI stack, resulting in AI-powered security and surveillance platforms, robotics-enabled logistics and port operations, industrial automation, smart infrastructure, and municipal robotics tailored to African operating conditions.
Initial deployments will commence in security, smart infrastructure, and logistics, with phased expansion across multiple African states as part of AfricAI’s broader continental AI, data, and intelligent infrastructure strategy.
The agreement also includes long-term performance-linked expansion rights, automatic renewals, and a defined localisation framework to support robotics deployment, workforce training, and skills transfer across Africa.
Prince Malik Ado-Ibrahim, executive chairman of AfricAI, said: “Africa does not need imported automation — it needs sovereign, context-aware intelligent systems. This exclusive mandate allows AfricAI to industrialise robotics deployment at scale while retaining control, compliance, and value creation on the continent.”

Subair: LIRS Won’t Raid Accounts – Unless You’ve Lost Every Court Battle

Lagos State Internal Revenue Service Executive Chairman Ayodele Subair Tuesday demolished online panic over alleged bank account raids, insisting the agency’s “Power of Substitution” targets only hardcore tax dodgers who have exhausted every appeal from tribunals to the Supreme Court over half a decade of disputes.

Ayodele Subair
Subair, speaking on Arise TV, shredded viral fears that LIRS would swoop on residents’ savings without warning, clarifying the mechanism under Section 60 of the Nigeria Tax Administration Act 2025 kicks in solely after assessments spark objections, reconciliations, demand notices, and a gruelling courtroom odyssey through High Court, Court of Appeal, and apex rulings.
The LIRS weekend notice had ignited fury by announcing enforcement via third parties – banks, employers, tenants, debtors – to claw back unpaid Personal Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, Stamp Duties, and Withholding Tax from chronic defaulters holding funds or owing money to them, whether due now or accruing later.
Subair likened the process to a “long timeframe, not less than five years,” where recalcitrant bigwigs who stonewall every step become fair game, with LIRS directing agents like customers or partners to divert payments straight to the taxman in lawful settlement.
Far from arbitrary grabs, the chairman stressed it’s a final resort for “entirely recalcitrant” holdouts who ignore Notice of Refusal to Amend (NORA) and every olive branch, ensuring Lagos coffers snag rightful revenue fuelling the state’s bulging budget without shotgun raids on compliant payers.
As social media buzzes with defiance – “They can’t touch my account!” – Subair’s blueprint spotlights Nigeria’s tax evasion scourge starving subnationals of trillions yearly, with Lagos alone chasing billions in arrears amid federal revenue wars and economic headwinds squeezing the commercial capital’s 25 million souls.
Industry voices nod to the legality but plead for digital dashboards tracking disputes transparently, warning overzealous recovery could spook investors in Africa’s fintech and startup mecca already reeling from naira nosedives and grid glitches.
With LIRS poised to unleash the hammer on vetted violators, Subair’s clarion call aims to separate myth from muscle, bolstering Lagos’ IGR juggernaut that hit N815 billion last year while daring defaulters to test the full judicial gauntlet before crying foul.

NIGCOMSAT Adopts Government’s Performance System

Nigerian Communications Satellite (NIGCOMSAT) Ltd, in a strategic move to modernise its operations and foster a results-oriented workforce, has officially adopted the Federal Government’s Performance Management System (PMS).

The initiative, aimed at driving efficiency and institutionalising accountability, was marked by an intensive staff training program designed to align the agency’s operations with national performance goals and the Presidency’s vision for a digital-first public sector.
According to a statement from Stephen Kwande, the Agency’s acting head of Corporate Affairs, “the transition to PMS is a departure from historical evaluation methods. The new system is designed to provide real-time performance tracking and instill a stronger work ethic across all directorates”.
Welcoming participants, Mrs. Jane Nkechi Egerton-Idehen, managing director/CEO of NIGCOMSAT, represented by Abiodun Attah, executive diirector, Technical Services, described the adoption as “long overdue.”
She emphasised that the system is critical for ensuring that NIGCOMSAT contributes effectively to Nigeria’s broader digital economy targets.
In her opening remarks, Mrs. Chinwe Udogu, general manager, Human Resources Management, expressed NIGCOMSAT’s enthusiasm for the program, urging staff to dedicate themselves fully to the three-day training.
She noted that the exercise was pivotal in repositioning the company to achieve its highest aspirations.
The training consultant, Mrs. Njoku Chioma, said the program is expected to drive culture change, automate work processes, and strengthen institutional performance.
The three-day training, jointly organised by the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation and NIGCOMSAT Management, covers key themes including:
• Overview of the FCSSI25 as an institutional performance-driven Federal Civil/Public Service
• Service culture and workplace attitude in the Nigerian public sector
• Implementation of the Performance Management System in NIGCOMSAT
• Application of Artificial Intelligence tools to enhance performance in the Nigerian public sector
The move comes at a time when NIGCOMSAT is expanding its footprint, with recent initiatives like the 2026 SpaceTech Accelerator Programme and partnerships for grassroots digital skills training.
By strengthening its internal management framework, the agency aims to ensure that its technical advancements in satellite technology are matched by an equally efficient administrative engine.
