Governor of Niger state, Aliyu Babangida says that one has to tell lies to survive in the political scene of today, adding that there is no morality in politics. He says if anyone wants to pursue morality, they should go and become Imams or Pastors. The Governor stated this while inaugurating the PDP guber campaign committee in Minna the state capital yesterday January 5th. "If you cannot lie, get out of politics. Anything you are involved in has its own rule. You are in politics to win, win first and let other things follow. Don’t be the one crying louder; lest you will be the one they will take to court. If you are talking of honesty or morals, go and become an Imam or pastor. Politics cannot be the way it used to be.
Vatican's scientific institution, the Pontifical Mariana International Academy (PAMI), is establishing a new observatory to investigate various "mystical phenomena" around the world, including ghost sightings, stigmata, and 'weeping' statues of the Virgin Mary. The observatory aims to evaluate and study these phenomena globally and uncover around 100 ongoing mystical events in Italy alone. The Church is yet to authenticate the specialist observatory. The launch of the Observatory Scientific Committee will initiate the observatory's work. Father Gian Matteo Roggio, a Mariologist, stated that many of these phenomena are local and not widely known. The PAMI's first session will commence on Saturday, and it had been previously monitoring a case concerning an Italian woman who claimed her Virgin Mary statue could cry tears of blood and multiply gnocchi and pizza. However, she was found to be a fraud after investigators discovered the blood came from a pig, and she defrauded her followers of tens of thousands of Euros in donations before fleeing. The observatory aims to promote training activities, disseminate consultancy services, and conduct research activities in conjunction with academic institutions to publish the research's results.
