I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.

Pastor Adeboye Did Not Protest Against President Goodluck Jonathan’s Government

A false narrative has been circulating online, accompanied by a photograph of Pastor E.A. Adeboye holding a placard during a public walk. The image has repeatedly been misrepresented as evidence that Pastor Adeboye led or participated in a protest against the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

This claim is FALSE.

The photograph in question was taken during a peaceful nationwide walk held in response to a directive issued by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) during the administration of the late President Muhammadu Buhari. Churches across Nigeria were instructed to hold peaceful walks after service, calling attention to the persistent killings of Christians and urging the government to take decisive action to protect lives.

The walk in Ebute Metta, where Pastor Adeboye participated, was part of that nationwide exercise. It was neither organized against President Goodluck Jonathan nor connected in any way to his administration.

Ironically, despite the significant media presence at the event when it took place, some of the same photographs have years later been recycled and falsely presented as evidence of a protest against a completely different government.

It is important to note that Pastor Adeboye’s message during the walk was clear: all lives matter to God. His placard emphasized the value of every human life, regardless of religious affiliation. The call was for the protection of innocent Nigerians, both Christians and Muslims.

Yes, Nigeria is facing enormous challenges, and citizens have every right to desire solutions. However, the growing demand that Pastor Adeboye should “command” the President or the First Lady on how to run the affairs of the nation is both unrealistic and unreasonable.

Pastor Adeboye is a clergyman, not the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces.

Nevertheless, he has not remained silent.

During the November 2025 Holy Ghost Service, Pastor Adeboye publicly offered counsel to the President of Nigeria regarding the worsening security situation and the continued killing of innocent citizens by terrorists. He warned that urgent action was necessary before foreign powers found justification to intervene in Nigeria under the guise of combating terrorism.

He further advised that security chiefs should be given a clear ultimatum to decisively address the menace or vacate their positions.

In his words:

“When they eliminate the terrorists, ask them to eliminate their sponsors too.”

At 84 years old, Pastor Adeboye continues to provide spiritual leadership, moral counsel, and national guidance within the limits of his office as a minister of the Gospel.

For the avoidance of doubt:

• Pastor Adeboye cannot command the President or the First Lady on how to govern Nigeria.

• Pastor Adeboye and RCCG are not responsible for the current challenges facing the nation.

• RCCG is not a political party.

• Pastor Adeboye does not hold political office and was not elected into government.

• RCCG is not the religious arm of any political party in Nigeria.

Facts matter. Context matters. Truth matters.

Before sharing claims about Pastor E.A. Adeboye or The Redeemed Christian Church of God, verify them through RCCG’s official communication channels.

Marriage stuff the church never warned me about:

1. Sex is a skill. It’s a gift from God and It’s worth learning how to do well. Being better at sex (only with your wife) only blesses your marriage. And the “best sex” isn’t what you think. It’s facilitated through intimacy, safety, and love. For the man - this means you need intimacy with the Holy Spirit, first. You need to view your wife as a daughter of the King and love her in way she’s worthy of. You need to die to yourself, serve her, protect her, provide for her financially, emotionally, and spiritually. You need to LEAD her. That typically translates into more frequent, more pleasurable, more intimate sex - which energizes a marriage.

2. Your view of money matters. If all you want is more, you won’t steward it well, you'll still live in comparison to what you want next, and funny enough - you'll probably end op with less of it. On the contrary, if you don’t prioritize increasing your wealth, you’ll miss out on the abundant opportunities God gives you to glorify him through what money can do. Money is a tool. It's a gift God has given you to steward and multiply for his glory (yes you can buy nice things to the glory of God, and you can exhibit financial discipline to the glory of God). Worship him with every dollar you receive, and every dollar you deploy.

3. Pray together every single day, even if you're really tired or you just fought. The divorce rate for the average couple is 50%. The divorce rate for couples that pray together is less than 1%. God hates divorce. Divorce is hell. God can always redeem divorced believers, but avoid it if you can. Establish the basic discipline of praying together every single day. This is more important than brushing your teeth and eating food.

4. Be willing to cut friendships. Especially ones that began before you were married. The two of you have became one flesh. Your dynamic with every human being you interact with has forever changed. Everything you do directly affects your wife, everything she does directly affects you. Have conversations early on about who is no longer welcomed in your life, cut them quickly. And if there are people who simply need to be kept at greater distance, orient your calendars accordingly. Do the same in reverse. The couples who sharpen you, draw near to them, prioritize them. They will be there for both of you in your hardest times. They will fight for your marriage in moments where you offend one another. Your friends matter. And no - your wife cannot have male friends that are not directly friends with you, or vice versa.

5. You are not part of your parent’s family anymore. Non-believers have a harder time with this, but the Bible speaks to it so directly. You are no longer part of your parent’s family. They are now extended family. If your parents have friction with how you live your lives, that’s OK. There is tension between consistently honoring your parents, while being OK if they disagree with you. Bring that tension to the Holy Spirit and ask for his guidance in every interaction, every boundary, and all communication.

6. Marriage isn’t the goal. It’s the beginning of a journey. It’s a common temptation to become complacent in improving yourself after getting married. There’s this mindset of “jobs done! We’ve arrived.” and that’s absolutely hilarious. The most challenging, and most rewarding work begins after you’ve gotten married. This is where you’re now directly cleaved with the person who’s supposed to sharpen you. Then this means men, you need to lead, cast vision, and continually grow. And women, you are the person this man is willing to die for, you’re the person he’s trusting to deliver his child, and nurture his offspring. You’re the primary helper God designed to support his mission. It is your duty as a woman of God to continue to grow. A proverbs 31 woman was not a weak, powerless housewife scrolling Instagram all day. Read it.

7. Set the culture of how you’re going to steward your bodies in the home, early. How you honor the temple of God is such an integral part of your daily life, it impacts sleep schedules, grocery lists, it impacts every single meal, it impacts how you use your time. If there’s not agreement in the home about how you’re going to honor your bodies, it will become an intense point of contention in your day-to-day life. The person with greater health will be burdened with taking care of the one who has worse health. And although some things are not preventable, most prognosis are totally preventable. Don’t burden your partner because you couldn’t stop eating Twinkies and never worked out. Do your part so that you can show up well with them, with energy, presence, and confidence in who God made you. Your health will be the #1 determinant of your quality of life in your later years when grand babies come. Heck - after your relationship with God, it's one of the primary determintants of your quality of life even before grand babies come. And - back to my first point, you want to be able to keep those hips moving as you guys get older 👍

8. Marriage is not a thing you do for mutual benefit. He provides, she makes the home - in practice yes, but that's not the point. The point of marriage is so that you know Christ more deeply. It's a reflection of the most valuable thing in the universe. Eternal life, knowing God. Take that view into every trial, and every mountain top - you work towards an excellent, intimate marriage - to know Christ more deeply, as a testemant and service to his people, and to glorify his Holy name.

Married people, what would you add?

Man to Man:

▪︎ Wake up early whether you like it or not. Sleep is a luxury you earn.

▪︎ Cut porn. It's frying your discipline and making you soft.

▪︎ Lift heavy weights 4 to 6 days a week. Track numbers. If they're not going up, you're lying.

▪︎ Eat boring food. Same meals. Protein first. Pleasure later.

▪︎ Stop explaining yourself. Explanations are for people above you.

▪︎ Learn one high-income skill and go all in. No backup plans. Backups make cowards.

▪︎ Kill useless friendships. If they don't push money, discipline or growth, they're dead weight.

▪︎ Get comfortable being alone. Loneliness is training, not a problem.

▪︎ Read contracts, finance, power, psychology. Fiction won't save you.

▪︎ Build an emergency fund. No one rescues grown men.

▪︎ Stop chasing women. Build a life that attracts them accidentally.

▪︎ Control your temper. Emotional men get manipulated.

▪︎ Dress clean and simple. No logos. No noise. Let silence flex.

▪︎ Learn to say no without guilt.

▪︎ Track your time like money. Wasted hours are stolen years.

▪︎ Fix your posture. Weak body language bleeds into weak decisions.

▪︎ Quit alcohol if you can't control it. If it controls you, it owns you.

▪︎ Learn how to fight or learn how to run fast. Ideally both.

▪︎ Pay your debts aggressively. Owing money kills respect.

▪︎ Keep your mouth shut about plans. Execute first.

▪︎ Accept that no one cares about your struggles. Act accordingly.

▪︎ Build something that pays you while you sleep. If not, you're replaceable.

▪︎ Call your parents. One day you won't be able to.

▪︎ Stop waiting for motivation. Operate on schedule.

▪︎ Become physically dangerous but mentally calm.

▪︎ Respect yourself so hard the world has no choice but to adjust.

That's it. No inspiration. Just work.

Billionaires don’t have bank accounts like you and me. They have art collections, Yachts,Mansions,Stocks. None of it gets taxed until they sell it. So they just never sell it. They borrow against it instead. Live off the loans. Pay almost nothing. Then when they die, their kids inherit it all tax-free. The wealth never gets taxed, It just gets passed down. And we wonder why the gap keeps getting wider.

In 2008, Femi Otedola controlled 93% of Nigeria’s diesel market.

He placed a $500 million order for one million tons of diesel when crude oil was at $147 per barrel.

While his diesel was still on the high seas, three things happened at once:

1. Oil prices crashed from $146 to $34
2. Naira was devalued from N120/$ to N167/$
3. The 2008 stock market crash hit

When the dust settled:

→ $480 million lost to oil price crash
→ $258 million lost to naira devaluation
→ $320 million lost to skyrocketing interest
→ $160 million lost to the stock crash

Total: $1.218 billion in debt.

The same banks that once sent “elegant ladies” to court him for deposits started sending hefty, barrel-chested men to his Ikoyi home at dawn.

He surrendered 184 flats. Filling stations. Tank farms in Apapa. A Bombardier private jet.

Today he chairs FBN Holdings. The man who lost it all built it all back.

Disaster turned into a comeback story.

Researchers at the University of Bergen ran a study comparing 213 Sudanese men. Half brushed their teeth with a chewed tree root. Half used a regular plastic toothbrush. The tree root group came out with healthier gums and less plaque.

That stick is called a miswak. The WHO has been quietly recommending it since 1986. In 2011, scientists at Sweden’s Karolinska Institute finally cracked the chemistry.

The active ingredient is benzyl isothiocyanate, a natural plant defense compound from the same family of sulfur molecules that give cabbage and mustard their sharp bite. The compound punches through the outer wall of bacteria that cause gum disease. From there, it dismantles the chemistry that keeps the bacteria alive. The Karolinska team isolated it by running root extracts through a chemical analyzer that identifies individual molecules.

The stick comes from the Salvadora persica tree, which grows in dry parts of Africa, the Middle East, and India. Inside the wood you also find natural fluoride, a gentle abrasive called silica that polishes off plaque, sulfur compounds, and tannins that tighten gum tissue. A separate team at Sweden’s University of Gothenburg ran another trial. They soaked the sticks in a fluoride solution. The fluoride left in the test group’s saliva came out higher than what people got from regular fluoride toothpaste.

A more recent systematic review pulled together a stack of randomized trials. Miswak on its own controlled plaque about as well as a regular toothbrush. Used alongside the toothbrush, it actually beat brushing alone on both plaque and gum inflammation scores. The Princess Nourah University trial from 2024 complicates that. Over two weeks, the miswak group’s plaque held steady while the toothbrush group’s dropped further. And gums in the miswak group got noticeably worse for people who sawed at their teeth too hard. Aggressive horizontal scrubbing tears at the soft tissue along the gum line.

One stick costs under 10 cents in the regions where the tree grows, and a single twig lasts for weeks. In sub-Saharan Africa, herbal toothpastes built around miswak and neem (another bitter chewing-stick tree) made up over a quarter of toothpaste sales in 2023.

The honest caveat is that Western dental literature treats the miswak as an add-on rather than a replacement, mostly because reaching the back molars with a stick is awkward. Used correctly, with soft perpendicular brushing along the gum line and no aggressive sawing, it does what a toothbrush does and adds a low-grade antibiotic on top. For most of human dental history, this is what cleaning your teeth looked like.

My Landlord wants to sell my shop to me, he has about 7 shops lined up together and a three bed room apartment at the back, all fenced together.

He ask me to pay 9M but the money is not the problem for me Atanda.

The problem is that this man has C of O for this Land. How will he sell just one shop for me and i won't have problem tomorrow since the C of O covers the portion of my shop too.

Or if the Landlord kpai, won't the children use the C of O to collect the shop from me as we all know that C of O overrides everything on Land documents

What is your advise for me Atanda on this one cos am really confused

Like i said, m0ney is not the problem

Atanda:

The law is not emotional
No because of say you know the landlord make you come believe say the C of O na original one.

First thing, get a copy of that C of O, take it to the land registry to confirm if it's genuine or not

After confirmation and it's genuine

Come back home.

Get a surveyor to perform subdivision

The surveyor will map out your shop portion and prepare a new survey plan for you

Get a lawyer to prepare a deed of assignment that captures the details of the shop and it's cordinates as stated in the survey plan

Then to the last stage yhat seals everything

Because the Land has C of O already

You will need to get Governors Consent and they will help you do that at the Land Registry

You will to take the receipt of payment, deed, survey plan and a copy of that C of O

Then the Governor will consent to the transfer of that specific portion from the Landlord's name to your Name

If you do this

You can sleep well and no one can claim that portion from you sir

Ignorance of the law is no excuse
