Nigeria's foreign policy in a changing world (3)
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Olugbenga Ashiru
Continued from Wednesday
One of the major challenges facing Nigeria's foreign policy is the plight of Nigerians in prisons abroad. Over 9,000 Nigerians are in various prisons all over the world, the highest number of 752 being recorded in the United Kingdom. Most of them are concentrated in the Asia-Pacific with many of them on death row. Given these alarming numbers and the imperative need to find creative solutions to the plight of these Nigerians, we convened regional seminars of Nigerian Heads of Mission in six centres. The Seminar for the Asia-Pacific region took place from April 4–5, 2013. At the end of the Seminar, the Heads of Mission made far-reaching recommendations, including the need to raise awareness in Nigeria on the dangers of irregular migration as well as involvement in transnational crimes, especially drug trafficking. In the immediate term, the Missions have been directed to explore the conclusion of Prisoner Exchange Agreements with the various countries, to ensure that those prisoners in foreign jails are repatriated home in dignity to complete their jail terms.
Some commentators on Nigeria's foreign policy have reacted to the challenge of inadequate funding by suggesting that we close some of Nigeria's missions abroad. It is argued that since government is unable to fund the over 100 missions, it would be better to close some and use the savings to properly support the remaining ones. This, to me, is a desperate solution that fails to address the fundamental problem of inadequate funding and the need to promote and defend Nigeria's national interests in a changing world. This approach has never worked as we have tended to open and close missions in a cyclical movement that creates more problems than solutions. First, closure does not necessarily translate to savings. The government would reduce the overall budget of the ministry by the same amount that would have been deployed to the closed missions. It will not be spread to the existing ones. Second, the cost of closing and winding down is far greater than re-opening. Third, when we close missions, we damage relations that have taken years to build. Fourth, at a time Nigeria seeks to be a member of the UN Security Council, in both permanent and non-permanent categories, our country needs more friends than ever before. A nation with such global ambition with its nationals spread all over the world cannot be shrinking its diplomatic and consular presence abroad. To begin to shrink rather than make new friends and consolidate existing relationships will be counter-productive to Nigeria's national interests. What we have done instead is to commence gradual reduction in the staff strength in our missions abroad and thereby save cost. We have also been ingenious by creating SMART MISSIONS with only one ambassador assisted by few local staff. These prudent measures will help conserve funds while still maintaining our diplomatic presence.
It is also remarkable that with the emergence of new global challenges, Nigeria has been in the forefront of addressing such issues as international terrorism, climate change, irregular migration, human and drug trafficking and illicit trade in small arms and light weapons. Some of these complex issues that constitute security challenges have invariably posed serious threats to peace and security in Africa, particularly in our sub-region. While ongoing efforts are beginning to yield the desired results, Nigeria will not relent in its commitment to addressing this menace. Terrorism is an international phenomenon, gravely threatening national, regional and international peace and stability. The armed forces are also tackling the issue of piracy in the Gulf of Guinea and theft of our oil. Foreign envoys have been informed and warned that any foreign ship caught will be arrested and the crew will face prosecution in our law courts. We require the full cooperation, support and partnerships of all our friendly countries.
Since President Jonathan's assumption of office in May 2011, Nigeria has maintained a strong stance in Africa. Following the formation of the AU about 11 years ago, Nigeria has not been involved in decision making at the highest level of governance in the organisation, in spite of our huge yearly contribution to it. We tried three times, between 2003 and 2011 to secure one of the posts of commissioners reserved for our sub-region, but failed. However, Nigeria won the post of Commissioner for Political Affairs in a hotly contested election in July 2012. This was indeed a huge success for Nigeria's diplomacy. We broke the unfortunate chain of losing elections at the continental level and today, Nigeria's visibility at the AU is no longer in doubt.
At the United Nations and other world bodies, Nigeria has since the advent of this government, maintained a robust presence. In the past, there were criticisms that Nigerian nationals were not fully represented at various international bodies and organisations as these compatriots will bear the national torch and advance Nigeria's interest in those organisations. Since we came on board at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we have secured 12 international positions to which Nigeria and Nigerians have been elected in multilateral organisations. There was no time in the history of our foreign policy that we have achieved so much within a short period of two years. These successes point to the effectiveness of our foreign policy machinery, the professionalism and the dedication of our diplomats deployed to ensure these election victories. We will therefore continue to maintain a robust foreign policy and ensure Nigeria's leadership and visibility, not just in ECOWAS but in Africa as a whole.
We have since launched our bid for election into the UN Security Council in the non-permanent seat category for the period 2014-2015. We have worked hard and have received the endorsement of ECOWAS Heads of State and government. We expect to receive the endorsement of the AU at the next summit in May 2013. Our election to this position in October 2013 will be a befitting gift to Nigeria in the year of the centenary celebration of our existence as a corporate entity. It will also be the first time that Nigeria will return to the Security Council after only two years gap.
The ministry remains committed to protecting the interests of Nigerians by constructively engaging the diplomatic and consular missions in Nigeria, especially on visa matters. As we demonstrated in our swift and effective response to the deportation of Nigerians from South Africa over the issue of yellow fever cards and our various demarches to the diplomatic community in Nigeria over the issuance of visas to Nigerians, we have made it clear that Nigeria would not tolerate the maltreatment of its citizens at home and abroad. The ministry also collaborated with other MDAs to evacuate Nigerians trapped in conflict zones in various parts of the world (Libya, Syria). In Gabon where some Nigerians were to be ejected from the two Islands they had occupied for years by the host government, the ministry proactively engaged and successfully collaborated with the National Emergency Management Agency to evacuate them back home. We have also successfully resolved the dispute over trading activities by Nigerians living in Ghana.
An issue which I need to bring out is the lack of documented report on the activities of the ministry since its inception over 50 years ago. We all must bear full responsibility for our failure to do this. We have taken it upon ourselves, however, to correct this obvious omission as we have now published and launched the first edition of our annual report.
It is my hope that a better understanding of Nigeria's foreign policy in the face of today's realities and the changing world has been achieved. As I have sought to demonstrate, there is really no basis for the criticism that Nigeria's current foreign policy lacks dynamism. We have continued to be proactive in engaging the world and putting Nigeria's national interests at the centre of our country's foreign policy and international relations. What is needed is the support of major stakeholders and the vast majority of Nigerians in order to build a domestic base and consensus behind our country's foreign policy exertions.

Ian Poulter celebrates another European Ryder Cup victory.
By Helen Ross, PGATOUR.COM
MEDINAH, Ill. — With seven members of the European team playing on the PGA TOUR, and the other five making regular appearances in the United States at majors and World Golf Championships events, the Ryder Cup isn't the same bitterly divided affair it was several decades ago.
Just because friendships now cross continents and oceans, though, doesn't mean the Ryder Cup has lost any of its passion. Just ask Ian Poulter, who says he loves the Ryder Cup more than any other event in the world.
"It means too much to Europe; it means too much to us for it ever to lose that edge," he said. "This event is unique. … I hate to say we don't get on for three days, but there is that divide, and it's not that we don't like each other. We are all good friends, both sides of the pond.
"But there's something about Ryder Cup which kind of intrigues me how you can be great mates with somebody, but, boy, do you want to kill them in Ryder Cup."
The fiery Poulter's choice of words may have been somewhat unfortunate, igniting a small flurry in the tabloid press. But the Brit is clearly in his element, even though he knows the Chicago crowd likely won't be kind.
"It's going to be intimidating, but it's going to be brilliant," Poulter said. "I couldn't or wouldn't want to be in any other situation this week. It fills you full of pride and passion to go out there. Yes, there is a divide this week, and there should be a divide this week; but Sunday night, we'll all have a beer together and enjoy what hopefully should be a great spectacle."
Bubba Watson understands Poulter's passion. He's the son of a Green Beret — the last time his late father saw him play golf was at the 2010 Ryder Cup — and this week is his chance to represent the United States and honor the military, in the process.
"As a fan of golf, Ian Poulter is an amazing story," Watson said. "Love Ian Poulter to death. It's amazing watching where his career started and where it is now. It's amazing to listen to him talk about where he picked up range balls, he worked in the pro shop, did everything, and now he's at the Ryder Cup. So I love his passion, I love, I respect him very much, and I love how passionate he is about winning it. …
"That's the same way our team is. And again, it's the little gold Ryder Cup is what we're trying to get, and again, it doesn't matter who it is that I'm facing. I don't really care who I'm facing. …
"We're not trying to disrespect or make fun of any other player. It's just we're trying to win that trophy, and his passion is about that trophy just like our passion is about winning that trophy."

Mechelle Voepel (2:05 PM)
Good afternoon everyone. Not too long after our chat last week, Phoenix dealt Kara Braxton to New York for a couple of tickets to a Mets game ...er, for Sidney Spencer. Lots of opinions are out there on that, of course. I guess KB wore out her welcome in Phoenix -after about a year - and the Merc thought it was addition by subtraction. Well, let's get started.
Matt (Sandusky, OH)
How important of a factor was it for the Mercury's general manager to trade Kara Braxton to an Eastern Conference team so that they would not have to play against her as often as if she had been sent to a Western Conference opponent?
Mechelle Voepel (2:10 PM)
I guess that may have been a consideration. Of course, we know the thing about Braxton is that she is not necessarily someone you can count on to come back and "burn" you. Like everything else with Kara, she might ... or she might not. I remember talking to Georgia's Andy Landers about when he finally suspended her "for good" and he said he just reached a point where he couldn't extend her any more chances. So while I can totally see the viewpoint of those who'd say, "She averaged around 10 points and 5 rebounds and is 6-foot-6 ... the Merc should *not* have dealt her for what they got," I can also understand that Phoenix/Corey Gaines may have just had enough.
Mary (WV)
Will Nancy Lieberman be returning to her coaching post in the NBA's D-League? How would you characterize her performance there so far?
Mechelle Voepel (2:14 PM)
Texas finished 24-26 and made the D-League playoffs. I honestly don't watch that league ... I just don't have time and too many other things take precedence. So I don't know I could give any informed opinion on how she did other than apparently not too bad. But she is moving into the front office for the team because she wants to be home more as it is her son's senior year in high school. We'll see if she goes back to coaching at some point after T.J. graduates, or if she feels more comfortable/excels in management. Talking to her last week, she said she really enjoyed coaching the team but wanted more time to be with T.J. now.
David (Hoopfeed.com)
Bigger disappointment this season...Chicago or LA?
Mechelle Voepel (2:19 PM)
I can see both ways, but I'll say Los Angeles. Yes, the Sparks have been without Candace Parker for most of the season, but Seattle has been without Lauren Jackson for a lot of it, too, and is still holding onto a playoff spot. I thought Chicago still had some question marks coming into this season, so I expected less of the Sky than I did the Sparks. Chicago is still more in the playoff race in the East right now than LA is in the West. Admittedly, things can change abruptly in a short time in the WNBA, but I'll still go with LA as most disappointing of the two for now.
David (Hoopfeed.com)
With the last two games' numbers, has Ticha FINALLY proven to the Sparks she should be, and always should have been, their starting PG, getting 30 minutes per game?
Mechelle Voepel (2:21 PM)
Wanted to follow up with this because I think it shows the dilemma the Sparks have faced, and I have some empathy for them on this. Ticha Penicheiro is going to be 37 in September, so you can understand where maybe LA wanted this to be the true "transition" year where she handed off the torch to a younger point guard who would become a real team leader. But it doesn't seem to have happened - at least not with consistency - the way LA would have hoped. Maybe Ticha will play until she's 47. Maybe it will take that long to find the best replacement for her. I'm kidding, but only a little. :)
joe (la)
Hey Mechelle! i was wondering despite minnesota's good record have they really been as good as advertised. I mean 3 of their games against seatlle were without LJ two games, and most likely 3 games against LA without Candace two games vs atl beofore their resurgence and both buzzer-beater wins against SA the stars were without Danielle Adams. Do you feel that dampens the lynx success thus far?
Mechelle Voepel (2:27 PM)
I say no, because taking advantage of other teams' issues or injuries is actually part of the success story of any team. And it's hard to measure/weigh how much the other team's problems are affecting everything. Seattle was really, really good last year, and I will not take anything away from them. But did it help that CP3 was out for the Sparks most of the year and that the Lynx had their injury issues, too? Probably so. In the end, I'm not sure it matters that much ... the Lynx have struggled a lot in their history, but this year more often than not they have found ways to win games. Seattle's Sue Bird, wise "owl" that she is, always says the bottom line is this: Can you find a way to win, even on those days you are not at your best and have to scrape and claw to do it? And if you can, you might win a championship. I think the Lynx are showing a lot of that ability this season.
Kevin (Phoenix)
could Phoenix's win against Minn be a turning point, giving that they (shocker) won with their defense?
Mechelle Voepel (2:31 PM)
But, of course, I have to bring in this point of view, too, because we know Phoenix is still the more "experienced" team when it comes to the WNBA stretch run and postseason. That said, the WNBA's ebbs and flows are fascinating because sometimes they are very predictable and other times anything but. The Merc lost that tough game at home to the Sun on Sunday after Phoenix had made the big "momentum" play to force overtime. But rather than be in the dumps after that, the Merc came back and knocked off the Lynx on Tuesday. There are some uber-competitive women in this league, aren't there? It's good stuff. :)
Judith (Home of our dysfunctional government)
Very sad but not surprising news yesterday that Alana Beard won't be back this season. Do you think we'll ever see her play again? And overall, can it get any worse for Mystics fans?
Mechelle Voepel (2:37 PM)
Like most folks, I have been worried about Alana Beard for a while now because this ankle injury has seemingly defied healing for a long, long time. With a player who has made such great use of her "wheels" in her career, this is very discouraging. That said, there is no reason for her to try to come back to this disaster of a team anyway this season. Yes, the Mystics are no longer sitting on three wins _ hooray for four wins! _ and have had some "gutsy" losses, but ... a disaster it remains. As for things getting worse ... I shudder to even joke about "trading Crystal Langhorne" for fear you will put a curse on me for even mentioning such a thing. And if you're also following the Nationals ... maybe you should consider another hobby besides sports fandom? :)
Jerod (Maine)
Who is your MVP? I say Tina Charles, but I can't go against people arguing for somebody from the Lynx. I still think players from the Lynx will split votes with each other and get left out.
Mechelle Voepel (2:40 PM)
This is going to be very tough, I think. Who is the MVP for the Lynx? I bet we could start an all-night debate just on that. So you're probably right about Minnesota splitting votes in regard to which of them could be the league MVP. Tina Charles has been a double-double machine. But ... while Tamika Catchings' scoring numbers are down a bit, if Indiana wins the East, I wonder if this is the year that voters say, "It's finally Catch's turn for MVP." Whether we *should* vote like that or not is another issue. I'm not deciding until the last minute, like always. :)
tollick (Seattle)
With Ticha sitting on the bench, who did LA expect would "take over?" Lacy's the most pure PG and Quinn and Toliver seem to be both playing a combo guard slot.
Mechelle Voepel (2:46 PM)
One of the above, some way, somehow. :) That's probably why it hasn't worked as well as the Sparks had hoped. It's like hoping a problem will do as much to fix itself as you do to fix it. Sometimes you get lucky. Often, you don't ... you still have to fix it. But I would also reiterate what we chatted about last week ... there aren't that many really skilled young point guards in the league who have the whole package: court vision, scoring ability, leadership and good-enough defense.
kevin (macon ga)
Candace Parker appears to be close to returning. Is it too late for the Sparks to make a run this season?
Mechelle Voepel (2:49 PM)
I have a running debate with myself on this. Should she come back if she really feels she's physically ready and see if the Sparks can make a late push into the playoffs? Or should she rest and prepare for what could be a very taxing 2012, considering the Olympics? Candace may be concerned at her overall small amount of playing time in the WNBA this season and last and may feel it's necessary to get as much of it as she can if she's healthy enough. So I'm still debating. Can LA really catch and nudge out either San Antonio, Phoenix or Seattle even with CP3 playing for the Sparks? I kind of doubt it at this point.
Jennifer (Boston, MA)
I won't disguise my question with asking you about all the rookies from the second round of the draft - I'll cut to the chase. What's your take on Carolyn Swords in Chicago? Has she shown she has what it takes to succeed in the league?
Mechelle Voepel (2:54 PM)
When I talked to Sylvia Fowles a little earlier this summer, she had a lot of praise for Carolyn in terms of how hard she was making Fowles work in practice. At least that's a start, I think, toward Carolyn maybe coming into her own as a WNBA player. Obviously, she's not getting much playing time now, but she's 6-6, strong, smart and has time to develop here and overseas.
tollick (Seattle)
Do you think Tulsa is looking at all better since the coaching change? Will they win another game?
Mechelle Voepel (2:59 PM)
I saw the Shock get pummeled by the Fever last Friday down in Tulsa, and that wasn't a game that provided much solace to Shock fans looking for something good. Liz Cambage sat the bench a lot and Tulsa looked very baffled at times by Indy's defense. And the Shock gave up some drives to the basket that I thought were going to make Teresa Edwards' head explode. But ... Tulsa played better the next night against San Antonio, and then lost by five at LA on Tuesday. Although we've already chronicled the Sparks' problems. I think most of us have been targeting LA's visit to Tulsa on Aug. 21 as the most likely next win for the Shock ... if there is going to be one.
Judith (Wash, DC)
Trudi Lacey keeps blaming the Mystics' losses on "inexperience and youth." But she's cut two of the four rookies and doesn't play one of the remaining two. She has 11-year vets in Walker and K. Miller, and experienced players in Lang, Coleman, Anosike, Ajavon, and Gardin. How long are fans expected to listen to these excuses?
Mechelle Voepel (3:03 PM)
The fact that some fans like you have stuck with them this long is amazing to me, actually. :) Trudi Lacey has coached all over the place in her career and had about the same results most of the time. Not to be cruel or a smart-aleck or pessimistic, but there's no evidence to suggest she is a coach who's going to have consistent success at this level all of a sudden.
M.E. (Minneapolis)
Did you see "The Mighty Macs" movie? If so, what did you think? I saw it in February at the Tucker Center Film Festival and really enjoyed it.
Mechelle Voepel (3:09 PM)
Yes, I just saw it this week in Olathe, Kan., as a matter of fact. Like most movies, it has its corny spots and oversimplifications and fictionalized moments ... but overall I was really surprised at how good it was, especially the basketball sequences. They did those very well. I must admit I don't actually like most sports movies because I think sports' drama is hard to capture in a movie. What can seem so compelling when it really happens unscripted can seem very contrived on the screen. But they definitely exceeded my expectations with this movie. It's entertaining and touching. And inspiring and funny. I am going to write something about it next week for ESPN.com - not a movie review, per se, since it does not get general release until Oct. 21. But more an overall impression of thinking back on that time period and the power of people supporting each other, especially women supporting women. I would say if you like women's basketball even a little bit, you should see this movie. If you don't, see it anyway. :) And I give Carla Gugino a ton of credit - she carries this entire movie start to finish and totally made me believe she was channeling Cathy Rush. The movie would never have worked if she wasn't so good in the part.
Mechelle Voepel (3:10 PM)
That doesn't mean she is *exactly* like Cathy Rush, but just that she does a marvelous job conveying what a force of personality and positive energy Cathy had to be to achieve what she did.
David (Hoopfeed.com)
Now that Teresa Edwards has joined Cynthia Cooper in the Hall of Fame, who should be the next of "this generation" of players to be inducted?
Mechelle Voepel (3:14 PM)
Lisa Leslie seems likely to be the next American women's player to go into the Naismith Hall of Fame. But as for the currently active players ... there are going to be several of them that are going to come up for induction in the next 15 years, I think. The clock starts ticking on Sheryl Swoopes' induction as soon as she actually retires. (Players have to be retired five years). Considering the Hall honors pros and amateurs, both genders, and all nationalities, it really is quite an honor to make it in.
tollick (Seattle)
Playing in Europe is actually more important to these women financially. Would it not make sense for Parker to come back to get her basketball legs under her before heading off to Europe for the winter?
Mechelle Voepel (3:16 PM)
I think that is a legitimate point ... and as I've said before, Candace is not one to take it "easy" on herself. She wants to challenge herself, and she always has approached things that way. She's proven her toughness, if you will, many times,
Mary (WV)
The Seattle Storm has beaten the Phoenix Mercury how many times in a row now? Nine? What is it about this matchup? The Merc is a good team, but why does the Storm always seem to have its number?
Mechelle Voepel (3:23 PM)
Seattle coach Brian Agler talks a lot about how sometimes, there are just match-ups that maybe don't necessarily seem like they *would* favor you, but they do. And in this case, Seattle has been able to defend relatively well against the Mercury last year and this year, even with LJ out. Plus, there may be something to the fact that absolutely no opponents know more about Taurasi and her instincts than do her former UConn teammates Bird and Cash, now with the Storm, of course. That doesn't necessarily mean they *stop* her, but I think they negate some of the "mojo" she often uses so effectively against other teams. Two more regular-season meetings this year, though, between these teams, so we'll see if the Merc can break the hex.
jmc (fla)
As I recall, you had some pretty strong opinions about teams shifting to different conferences last year. Just wondering what your thoughts are about today's rumor regarding A&M to SEC as soon as 2013?
Mechelle Voepel (3:27 PM)
There have been rumblings ever since the so-called "saving" last summer of the Big 12 (as 10 teams starting this school year) that the "new" league would be too "Longhornish" for A&M's satisfaction. However, I wonder what they think it's like in the SEC? As is always the case, this will come down to whether it's deemed best for football. Every other sport is along for the ride.
AirJazzy (Washington, DC)
Whats a snazzy comeback I can give when people write/comment awfully degrading comments about the WNBA? For example, "Wnba boring" or "whats the wnba".... Im sure you are familiar. I think its terrible to disrespect our women, citizens, mothers and prof. atheletes that way.
Mechelle Voepel (3:31 PM)
I don't know how "snazzy" I always am ... sometimes depends on my mood. :) But usually I tell people, if you don't like it, don't watch it or read about it. Nobody forces you to pay attention, so just ignore it. It's not exactly hard to ignore the WNBA, for heaven's sake. :) That said, though, if they were really "unaware" of it as some claim to be, they wouldn't bring it up in conversation, right? People don't disparage things they *truly* don't care about ... they don't spend any time thinking about them. Sometimes I challenge people to tell me what it is that they really are bugged about in regard to the WNBA. And most of the time, their self-awareness of being threatened in some way is, shall we say, rather lacking. :)
Mechelle Voepel (3:34 PM)
On that note, I will close out the chat. Just a reminder that the Naismith Hall of Fame induction that includes Teresa Edwards and Tara VanDerveer is tomorrow night. Congratulations to two icons of the women's game. And I'll keep reminding you as we get closer to the release date to see "The Mighty Macs" and take your friends and family, even if they are not into women's hoops. Because it's worth seeing, I promise. You'll be smiling when you leave.

Tea swap anyone?? I miss MDC swaps of any kind, so just wanna put it out there. I'm happy to pull it together. In the past, getting a group of around 10 or so and sending out 5-6 teabags (or the equivalent in loose tea) was a lot of fun.
Or I'll swap coffee too. Just post with interest and maybe we can pull something together.

Commercial Property
An Asian investment fund operated by Zurich-based Credit Suisse has bought a half interest in one of Wellington's biggest new Government departmental buildings - the Vogel Centre.
It has paid AMP Capital Property Portfolio $75m for a 50 per cent share in the 16-level complex that straddles the block between Aitken St and Kate Sheppard Pl.
It is the largest of three big AMP Capital sales in Wellington this year and a fourth, the sale of a half share in 1 Bowen St - the building which houses many MPs - is expected to be settled in three weeks.
It coincides with the sale of the Kirkcaldie & Stains block to Robt Jones Holdings for $50.5m and comes just seven months after it sold the Bowen Campus blocks behind Parliament to AMP New Zealand Office (ANZO) for $50.4m.
The flurry of sales represent a withdrawal of about $200m from AMP Capital's Wellington portfolio.
AMP Capital general manager Stephen Costley said it had to sell some of its Wellington property and to repay capital and clear debt. These properties were offered for sale because they were of a size and value for which there was a demand.
"We had a requirement to sell Wellington office [space] as the amount of property we had in Wellington was significant.
"It has provided an opportunity to return capital to investors. We'll also retire some debt and close out some of our swap instruments over that debt."
There was no intention of selling any more Wellington properties, because it was now close to meeting the request for capital.
It decided to retain a half interest in the Vogel Centre because it was "a lovely asset and great to keep a piece of it in the long term portfolio".
AMP has invested heavily in the Vogel Centre development in recent years.
The centre was expanded and redeveloped by Mainzeal Construction in a five-year, three-stage project that was completed last year.
The old Vogel building formed the nucleus of what is now one of the city's largest public service blocks.
Major tenants in the 16-level, 34,374-square metre block are the Justice Ministry, ACC and the Education Ministry.
Two floors of the six-floor podium, fronting on to Kate Sheppard Pl, are leased to the Education Ministry, Justice fills most of the balance of the podium, and ACC has offices in the redeveloped tower.
Costley was not prepared to say what it was collecting in rent but said the weighted average lease term was 12 years.
AMP Capital, which acquired its Wellington portfolio off Capital Properties in 2006, has sold off a string of other buildings.
Other sales in recent years include the William Clayton building, the State Services Commission building and Novelle House at 89 The Terrace.
The company still retains a substantial portfolio in Wellington including the Defence headquarters building in Aitken St and the PwC building at 113-117 The Terrace.

Darrin Bradbury is hands down the best songwriter in Nashville. #RealTalk
"It's probably safe to say that, in 1968, when the Grateful Dead would venture into the musical stratosphere with their most revered improvisational vehicle, "Dark Star," it never occurred to them that nearly 50 years later, a symphony orchestra would be performing portions of their spontaneous creation note for note."
Actually, the Grateful Dead played "Dark Star" with the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra at Kleinhans Music Hall in Buffalo, NY back on 03-17-1970.
It is a very sad story indeed because if our faith is in man and his ability to be without error in what he writes or sings or does, it is sorely misplaced. Jesus Christ is the author and the finisher of real biblical faith and without first trusting Christ as your Lord and Saviour all else is meaningless. Without knowing Him personally you can know nothing of true faith and true worship.
This was an amazing show and the highlight of our Bonnaroo. We found Bully scanning the lineup and bought Feels Like and loved it. We screamed along with the huge crowd at This Tent but did not engage in any moshing because we needed to study. We are still learning the words. (Is it, "I remember the way your sheets smelt" or "your street smelt"?) We look forward to hearing Bully again at Voodoo Fest.
yer funny.
Christianity is not a religion but a relationship with God that you know HIM and who HE is.
Prayer is not simply getting things from God - that is only the most elementary kind of prayer.
WORSHIP is to praise GOD. You can just sing your own songs to praise GOD.
Do you really experience JESUS personally?
There is no one or no way you will be separate from GOD except yourself. Why don't you ask JESUS personally.
John 10:27
My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
Romans 8:38
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
I pray in JESUS name that you will be set free by GOD's truth and you may experience HIM personally and being convicted because the LORD my GOD is a LIVING GOD who speaks as you ask, you seek and you can find and knock the door will open to you. Amen.
Hey man,
I agree with ya. I was, or am, a born again christian. At least thats what i first knew to call myself. I believe in God for sure. I havent always, but I always felt there was a higher power that looks out for me and cares for my every moment of existence. Even as a kid i felt a reverence for a God i didnt personally know but I believe deep down, my soul knew something I hadnt quite reconciled with.. yet.
All my life I was detached from my peers. I was an outsider. Ive come to learn this was because my adhd makes me think much seperatelt and uniquely to the world. This includes some depression. So i searched. And searched long and hard for the truth in life. Growing up I was not taught anything deep. I was not taught anything spiritual. I was hungry though. A yearning has always been in me. For more. For deeper. For truth. For realism. Always inquisitive to the matter for which makes people so surfacey. At 18 i could nlt take any of it any mlre and i no longer wanted to reside with these people. I wanted to be alive spiritually. I wanted to be alive in truth. I wanted to be alive in that parallel universe. I wanted to be natural and congruent. I remember seeing myself as an embryo and I wanted to be that. For whatever reason, I felt it waa time. I wanted to leave the earth. So i took matters into my own hands. Plan failed. Im still here. Why? I dont know. How? God, at least thats what it felt like, i found my creator. Did he tell me his name? No. Have i heard him speak audibly? Once. And my body was paralyzed for that brief moment with vibrations ive never once experienced before. Am i alive now? Yes. Theres a spirit in me. Is it mine? I guess so? Is it holy, probably, ive never felt a drive to be more righteous than after this occurrence.
Speaking of righteous. After all this i was the happiest person ever. And i give that honor to God. It is not my own joy that is in me. Without the presence of God I would continue to be self loathing. I started avidly going to mu friends chirch with him. I was skeptical at first. All of a sudden i remember walking through the parking lot of the chirch towards the front double glass doors where fancy people dressed up wondering if anybody else felt the joy slightly dimmed as they got closer. In the building i felt a darkness that sprung on my jolly spirit. I felt jidgement towards myself again. The same kind of judgement i was just set free from.
After almost 3 years of attending that church I finally had enough.
I no longer learned new things. I didnt feel loved, i thought the newcomer thing would pass. I met a handful of good people. But the church, just isnt vibing for me.i still dont feelthat I belong there. Once i finally over came the also very harsh voice in my head telling me "i have to go to church or im not a real believer" passed i officially, and happily, ceased attending church.
2 years later ive popped into an lcbc church, still wasnt feeling it. My bible study has immensely diminished. I do feel that God uses bible scriptures to speak to me. At times, theyre everything I need.
I believe in love now. I believe that he is the maker of love. I dont believe this life is an accident or that everything just conveniently comes together by evolution.
I believe life is tendered to by a larger being that i should be fearful of His power.
In Sept 2015, my very very good friend, who actually was with me in the said moments above died unexpectedly to a heroin overdose. My heart was torn. It was a drop to my knees moment. Ive never lost somebody like this. He was 23. He was a wonderful, unique peaceful person, lots of love and light he radiated. He would serve anybody. Je was raised cathlic, bit nobody knew it. He was fascinated with spirituality. He and i shared many artistic and creative moments together. Him and i had a different love. But nonetheless as meaningful as any relationship. We created together. We imagined together. We went deeper together. Amd that held its value. He tried teaching me things back then. I thought i understood. But in reality, i had no idea bc of my self blindedness. The seeds he sowed in me were planted dormantly in my soul for years. After he died, i saw them blossom very rapidly. I recognized those things again he taught me and shared with me. I felt these things stronger than my control, bigger than will power. I felt love grow. I felt peace grow. I questioned a lot that i knew and believed. His departure showed me that judgement is not mine to place on any created thing.
These kinds of things i had begun learning through bible scripture, but learning from the planted and now blossomed seeds my friend faithfully sewed in my spirit went deeper than the church.
I stopped reading my bible when my friend died. I didnt care. I could find the strength. Or the drive. My motivation was shifted. I saw purpose in serving others through peace and love and beauty. Not through good deeds or good works.
I guess God has brought me here. Im no longer that superficial christian the church helped form in me.
I stopped seeking God this way. Ive purged my entire being of religion that i didnt think i fell into, but intrinsictly i was the epitome of. Ive stripped myself of falsehood. Once again. Yes,this was my choice, was it God-lead? Possibly. Ive rediverted my attention to God in His natural being from my natural being. Ive removed the fascade. I broke the glass ball around me. In my hurt and anger, i shattered that s.o.b. to pieces and let time and experiential restoration ground it to dust. Now I feel that this was Gods plan. And if so, then certainly I am amazed because God used my friend twice as life altering eye openers. This lead me to some questions. One being, wow, what kind of person was my friend to be that influential? Another, what kind of being is God? And what can I do to change accordingly without misusing or wasting anytime?
I struggled with knowing non believers or un saved people go to hell. I struggle deeply with knowing that my good friend who struggled so deely with identity and fitting in yet loving and serving people could die that fiery death. And maybe he did go to hell. Do i just move on like i usually do? Whats the big idea here. What do i do? Wha do i believe? Is God possibly more merciful than this going straight to hell for not following him? Does God truly go based off man's heart?
I remember seeing many of dark entities or demonic like prescences sounding deep moans and groans in the 68 hours leading up to my attempt to finalize my life. I believe I was going to hell also. But I did't ask for forgiveness of my sins back then. I struggle still with this. I know what the bible says, I also knkw what The Church taught me. I also know the church has conflicting ideas of heaven and hell, and for whatever seasoning of pride one contains, everybody thinks they're right. Why was I so comfortable just beleiving such large teachings so quickly without question?
What is going on? My heart still feels a tug towards the Creator of us all. But I finally faved everybody else's same question, if this is all true, how does God let people, good people, die and suffer eternity in torture?
Sure I believe God is holy and we are rags only in comparison to Hiim. But life is very difficult to translate.
Either way, I know God is intelligence manifested. He's brilliant. I know he also is a teacher. Hes a guidance counselor. So whatever He is teaching me or guiding me through or to, its divine.
Andre Williams does a killer (pardon the pun) version with the The Sadies on the record RED DIRT, too.
Feelings based on truth are always valid. Feelings based on lies (falsehood) are also real to the person that is experiencing them but feelings based on truth are always the best kind.
For example, as a young teenage girl I read both DC and Marvel comics. My favorite 2 male comic book characters were Nightcrawler and Wolverine. Would you believe I developed romantic feelings of love for both fictional characters? HUH?!
God IS love but he is also the God of light and truth and every other good thing. Most of the book of Psalms in the Old Testament are worship songs, many written by David, yet God only preserved the lyrics, not the melodies.
Even though I've known this for a long time, I still will listen to music that contain bad lyrics or lyrics I don't identify with if the melody catches my attention (ears) enough.
The song "Change a Gonna Come" by the father of soul music, Sam Cooke (not his real name but his moniker), is one example. I still love the melody of this song but only identified with part of the lyrics when I was younger. I deleted this song off my playlist after I realized I no longer identify with any of the lyrics in this song.
The best (most truthful, healing, creative) worship songs to listen to (for me) now are nature songs such as water sounds (raindrops, waterfalls, etc.) and other sounds that occur in nature.
I discovered a free app called "Sleep Pillow Lite" which has 9 free sound tracks on it. I pretty much only listen to the 1st sound track (raindrops), sometimes only on one Apple device or more than one Apple device(s).
Once I even listened to this app while playing Natalia Lafourcade's "Hasta la Raiz". You can try other variations.
It is VERY hard to write a truly NEW song. I would say that actually over 99% of modern secular music (Christian or not) is DRIVEL!
I would like to find sheet music for this song.
Dr. Demento has played it on his radio show, usually around Halloween; once he commented, "Can you BELIEVE that song?"

Myrtie, off topic, I was wondering how your Brother Rene is? We were good friends when we went to Mark Twain Jr. High back in 1955. -Norm Johnson
Don't know if you'll read this. I'm Catholic, but also got into Protestant churches in the past.
For me there are some songs that resonante and some that don't.Most of the music in Catholic churches leave me, well, untouched. But it's not about me, it's about Jesus. It's about facilitating my heart and mind to meditate about Him. Such as "O Sacred Head Surrounded" which is song during Lent, or how about "Morning has broken " which is sung for Morning Prayer ",
For me as St. AUGUSTINE said, singing is like praying twice. Or something to that affect
I would sing snippets of a song, like when one does in the shower, or doing a chore.
To sing to Jesus, is like a serenade.
He loves you in a special way, because your created special.
I hope someday you will know Him and discover the richness of our Catholic Church which He founded.
The Lord be with you .
it makes my heart sad that people who create such great art settle for Noshville.
Firstly I think the overall idea of a book based around attempting to identify the musical influences and inspirations of different musical artists is really cool. Doing this through personal interviews is a great approach in that it allows the journalist to understand the connection between artists and influences on a level that is more personal and detailed than the conceptual understanding that comes from just comparing their music with others. As Boilen explains, the tendency of most musicians to enjoy talking about the music they like also aids this approach. The interviews also allow the inclusions of personal anecdotes such as the stories from Jimmy Page and St. Vincent.
It is also interesting to read about the cases in which the interview process presented Boilen with results that challenged his expectations or plans. The idea of an artist he admires liking "bubblgum" music is an interesting example of this in that it shows a discrepancy between the opinions of the community of critics and intellectuals who study music and the musicians themselves. The difficulty of pinning down the influences of someone like David Byrne perhaps reflects the uniqueness of those artists; those who are affected by an eclectic, wide range of sources tend to produce music that sounds very little like any other one artist.
I have read several disturbing reports and interviews that Dick is only touring to pay his $3K per month medical expenses to stay alive. Very sad. This legend should have been able to retire w insurance coverage.
I have been living in the Nashville area for close to 4 ½ years now and have run across several Nashville song writers and producers that work in the Nashville Country music scene with this same background when it comes to musical presence and influences. I think this creates a beautiful melting pot for different techniques and styles of playing to be influenced into Country music, which to be honest is not my personal favorite genre of music or even music that I will let play for more than fifteen seconds on the car stereo; that being said I do understand the importance of the genre itself, because it does provide loyal Nashvillians with work even if they come from drastically different musical tastes and backgrounds and 90's Hip Hop and modern Country are about as far on opposite sides of the spectrum that you can get. It does make sense that people who are used to hearing different ways of recording music are now working in the "honkey tonk" studios here in Nashville, because just in the last 4 years I have heard country bands transition into fatter bass drums, heavier bass frequency to meet our thirst for "bangers" to rumble our car speakers and more pop influenced way of recording vocal parts. Not speaking as a country fan, but it seems a lot more different than "She Thinks My Tractors Sexy" was in the 90's and I believe for good reason.
