1,497 Illegal Routes Into Nigeria – Interior Minister. There are no fewer than 1,497 illegal routes that lead into Nigeria. The startling disclosure was made earlier today by Nigeria’s Interior Minister, Abba Moro. Mr. Moro spoke in Abuja while briefing the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the party's national headquarters. In order to curb the security crisis associated with porous borders, the minister said Nigeria needed more than $244 million. The fund would go into installation of electronic surveillance round the nation's borders. The minister added that the crisis of insecurity in the country was being compounded by the operation of 30 illegal guard companies in the country. He announced that only the operator of one of them had been arrested. Mr. Moro also revealed that some scam artists “opened a website in the name of the ministry which they have been using to dupe unsuspecting members of the public.” He added: “One of them even used my name to open such a website, but we have been able to arrest him somewhere in Asokoro, Abuja, when I asked one of his would-be victims to play along with him.” The minister underscored the fact that Nigeria’s vast borders were porous, making it possible for the 1,497 illegal routes to exist. "We are making efforts to procure appropriate modern technology to be installed along our borders and we are collaborating with the USAt and a private Chinese company on this. "With the assistance of the US State Department, we realised that some components of the offer we got from the private firm was contained in what the State Department would be offering us. "When we have done this, the temptation of illegal entry into Nigeria will be reduced." By SaharaReporters

How To Find Peace
There is such a thing as 'Peace with God'. It may be felt and known. My heart's desire and prayer is that you may be able to say with the Apostle Paul, "Being Justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:" (Romans 5: 1))
This peace with God is a calm, intelligent sense of friendship with the Lord of Heaven and earth. He that has it, feels as if there is no barrier and separation between himself and his Holy Maker. He can think of himself as under the eye of an All-Seeing Being, and yet not feel afraid.
It is only such a man that would see death waiting for him and yet not be greatly concerned. He can go down into the cold river-close his eyes on all his possessions on earth- launch forth into a world unknown, and take up his abode in the silent grave- and still feel peace.
Do seek the peace of God today.
Shalom!
