Obasanjo raises N400 million to build mosque

Yesterday Y! News outlined the hero in former President of Nigeria ,
Olusegun Obasanjo .


Report reaching Us states that ; State Governors, politicians,
business moguls and corporate heads on Friday gathered at the
Presidential Library in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital to honour
President Olusegun Obasanjo's invitation for launch of his project.


The occasion was the fundraising and foundation laying ceremony of a
mosque to be built inside the complex of the Olusegun Obasanjo
Presidential Library.

The mosque named Baytus-Salam Central Mosque, is to be located meters
from the existing church also built by the former Military Head of
State. The governors of Sokoto, Kano, Kebbi, Kastina and Ogun States
were in attendance as the organisers raised N400 million. They had
planned raising N350 million. Obasanjo who is the Initiator of the
project, said the idea was to put down a legacy for posterity and
reflects the mosaic of the community in terms of Christianity and
Islam.


"I believe that the more you know about your God, the better you will
be able to serve Him. If you are religious, you will be a good citizen
because religion behooves us to be better
citizens." He revealed that the mosque would have facilities such as
the Imam's residence, an Islamic school among others.


In his remark, Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, urged Nigerians
to continue to co- exist peacefully regardless of religious
differences. Commending the former President for the idea, Amosun
said: "This is a clear demonstration that we can co-exist regardless
of our religion. Baba is a Christian but he has shown we should not
have issues about religion and where we came from."


In his keynote address, the Chief Imam of Olabisi Onabanjo University,
Kamaldeen Balogun, praised Obasanjo for his vision, noting that the
mosque is a veritable centre of
learning that is capable of impacting basic Islamic knowledge on the
younger ones.


"It is my abiding hope that the formal opening of the foundation of
Baytus-Salam Mosque would strengthen our efforts in peace building and
reconciliation between the Muslim Ummah and followers of other
faiths."

Nollywood Actor : Joseph Benjamin - I gets a lot of strange calls please help !!!

The Nollywood star broke the ice on his relationship status recently
while shedding light on rumours surrounding his marriage and
subsequent separation, he is not available though single.


Benjamin told Source; "I've been separated for a year now but we still
keep a good relationship, and our separation was a mutual agreement.
She is a good woman but I could not go on with the union anymore
seeing the foundation it was built on was untrue. I have two wonderful
children – a ten year old daughter and a seven year old son. They are
an integral part of my life; their mum and I have a very good
arrangement on how to balance their lives and make sure that
psychologically they are stable and unaffected by our separation."


To Joseph Benjamin, marriage is serious business which should be taken
seriously.


Benjamin says there is no woman in his life right now, but he
disclosed to Showtime the kind of woman that may catch his fancy.


"For me, an ideal woman is somebody who has the beauty right from
inside, not really an outside beauty. I mean one who understands life
and who has passion for God. I do not like a woman who is
materialistic but she has to look good. I' m not really carried away
by outside beauty but it is an added advantage," Benjamin said.


After working with stars like Genevieve Nnaji, Desmond Elliot, Nse
Etim-Ekpe, Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha , Ini edo, and Justice Esiri,
Benjamin says he would love to work with Pete Edochie, Olu Jacobs Rita
Dominic, Omotala Jalade and Stella Damasus. "I would also like to work
with my sister from Kogi State, Mercy Johnson."


Benjamin's driving force he says "is to surpass every standard I have
set for myself at every point in my career. I am also driven by the
goal to achieve excellence that always pushes me to go beyond my
limit. I always like to push myself to the edge."


Joseph Benjamin gets a lot of strange calls. "I get a lot of strange
calls from my fans. Some will call you and tell you they like you.
Some will want to hear your voice. But I wonder how they get my
number."

Now that we know you are single Ben, gear up for more calls.
