Conclave to Elect New Pope Begins Tuesday
By Yemi Adebowale with agency report
Roman Catholic cardinals will start their conclave to elect a successor to Pope Benedict XV next Tuesday, the Vatican said yesterday, with no clear favourite to take charge of the troubled Church. Benedict's surprise abdication last month brought most of the world's cardinals to the Vatican for discussions on the problems facing the 1.2 billion-member Church, and to decide on the profile of the man they want to lead them.
After five days of closed-door debate, the red-capped prelates decided yesterday to begin their secret ballot in the frescoed Sistine Chapel on the afternoon of next Tuesday following a Mass in St Peter's Basilica in the morning. A total of 115 elector-cardinals, all aged under 80, are expected to take part in the elaborate ritual, which will continue until one man receives at least a two-thirds majority, or 77 votes.
DELE MOMODU: Why I’m Not President Jonathan’s Fan
By Dele Momodu
Fellow Nigerians, the story you’re about to read is a true account of the reasons I criticise President Goodluck Jonathan these days. I don’t want you to believe all the cheap blackmail that it is because we lost an election or wanted favours and attention. While I may not know why other columnists criticise him, mine is very simple and straight-forward. The sad thing about men of power and their supporters is no one ever remembers when you praise a leader. You will never receive a simple thank you message. What is worse is that some of your readers would conclude that you’ve been settled like others with some stupendous gratification.
On the other hand, when you criticise the leader, you instantly become an enemy and persona-non-grata. You must have been sponsored by some mischievous members of opposition. These days the agents of government swarm all over the place. The best way government knows how to create employment in our clime is to engage the services of those who are incapable of persuading anyone with superior logic. The only qualification needed is the ability to spit bile and hurl insults at enemies of government. But a columnist who’s not venomously attacked is not worth his salt and the ink of his pen.
