@therealchyke James Gunn has actually made it clear he really wants to explore side characters in the DC universe more so than the heavy hitters.
I think the benefit is they are easier to work with, more liberty to tell new stories or niche comic stories that people have never seen but exist.
I commend all our patriotic front-line soldiers in the fight against terrorism in all forms.
You stand as a shield between innocent citizens and those who seek to destroy the peace, safety, and dignity of our communities.
In the forests, on the roads, at forward operating bases, in the air, creeks, and across difficult terrains, you carry the burden of national protection so that millions of Nigerians can sleep, work, worship, farm, trade, and raise their children in hope.
This fight has not been easy. It has come with pain, pressure, and sacrifice. But your courage has remained firm. Your service is acknowledged. Your sacrifice is honoured. Your country does not take you for granted.
To every officer and soldier of our Armed Forces, to the Police, DSS, Civil Defence, intelligence services, local security formations, and all who work day and night to keep Nigeria safe, I say thank you.
I also acknowledge the families behind the uniform. Many of you have endured long absences, anxious nights, and the emotional cost of duty. Nigeria remembers that sacrifice, too.
We honour those who have paid the supreme price in defence of our country. Their names may not always trend, but their courage lives on in rescued communities, protected families, and the survival of the nation they served.
The fight against terror is not only a military operation. It is a national duty. Citizens must support our security forces by providing timely, useful information. When you see something, say something. When you know something, report it.
Nigeria will not surrender to fear. We will not allow terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, or violent extremists to define who we are as a people. Their violence is not our identity. Their hatred does not represent Nigerians of any faith, creed, or community.
To our troops and all front-line patriots, thank you for your courage. Thank you for your vigilance. Thank you for your service.
May the Almighty protect you as you protect our country.

President and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces

NDC’s New Election Strategy Sparks Debate as Pat Utomi Announces Independent Result Transmission Plan:
Prof. Pat Utomi says the NDC is preparing its own independent election result transmission system ahead of the 2027 elections.
According to him, election results from polling units across Nigeria will be transmitted live and monitored globally through major international media platforms, including CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, Fox News, and credible Nigerian news outlets.
Utomi also revealed that the party plans to deploy a strong network of polling unit agents nationwide to ensure votes are protected and election officials are not subjected to intimidation.

Seeing some response to my statement on @MikhailaFuller's podcast about speaking in tongues. Some potentially helpful clarification:
First, I am not a cessationist (though I see myself being accused of it). I state in the interview that I believe that the spiritual sign gifts (tongues, prophesy, healing) still take place today, just not normatively like they were in the Apostolic era.
Nonetheless, I hold to the standard exegetical position that biblical tongues refer to known languages. In Acts 2, the foundational instance, foreign speakers understood the disciples in their own native languages, establishing the clearest precedent for interpreting the phenomenon throughout Scripture.
Secondly, while bliblical specialists and theologians debate whether tongues encompass human languages alone or include angelic speech, the consensus recognizes that a tongue functions as a language -- either immediately intelligible to hearers or requiring interpretation. The requirement that Paul places on interpretation in 1 Corinthians 14 indicates that tongues contain objective, propositional meaning subject to translation, and his statement that “every valid instance of tongues contains intrinsic, propositional meaning" reinforces this understanding.
A prominent scholarly argument identifies glossolalia as “the miraculous ability to speak unlearned human and (possibly) divine or angelic languages,” with the most common usage of “tongues” referring to ordinary human languages. The term γλῶσσα throughout the NT carries two primary meanings: the human organ or a human language, and careful word studies demonstrate that it never denotes non-cognitive utterance.
However, scholarly consensus isn’t absolute the core agreement across interpretations centers on cognitive content: tongues communicate meaningful, intelligible information rather than incoherent utterance.
Third, the early church evidence after the Apostolic era is virtually unanimous: the Early Church Fathers consistently interpreted the gift of tongues as the capacity to speak the many languages used across the earth. Their writings indicate the gift served an evangelistic purpose enabling communication with non-Christian populations.
The Patristics universally understood “tongues” in Acts and 1 Corinthians to refer to human languages, and ancient Christians understood the biblical gift of tongues as a miracle involving intelligible human languages. When the fathers described the phenomenon, they used concrete language: John Chrysostom wrote that believers “would suddenly speak in Persian, another in Latin, another in the language of the Indians or of some other people” (Homilies on First Corinthians, Homily 35), and Augustine stated that disciples “spoke in the languages of all the nations” (Sermon 269, Sermo CCLXIX.
The most significant, and almost exclusive, early figure associated with ecstatic speech for tongues was Montanus, a 2nd-century prophet whose followers emphasized speaking in tongues; he was actually excommunicated (not necessarily for his position on tongues) around AD 177. By the late 2nd century, ecstatic interpretations of tongues were present but only in context of ecclesiastical concern.
One interesting nuance appears with Philastrius in the 4th century, who understood angels as capable of conversing in all languages and believed the apostles received this same ability at Pentecost. However, this doesn’t represent a departure from the “knowable language” framework rather, the Early Church Fathers understood the gift of tongues as the ability to speak all languages spoken by people. The Church Fathers agreed the gift was the ability to speak all languages known to humankind, an ability they ascribed to angels, suggesting the “languages of angels” would not refer to a distinct heavenly language but rather to the capacity to communicate with anyone encountered.
The historical record shows no discussion among the fathers of ecstatic utterances, unknown languages, or supernatural unintelligible speech. The gift remained firmly anchored to practical, learnable human languages throughout Patristic interpretation.
So if you've stuck around this long, I think my position is both exegetically and historically sound.
@aedcelectricity I can't buy meter units from the pay4energy platform as it is inaccessible due to server error nor the buy power platform.
This has been the case since morning. Please I need this rectified.
@aedcelectricity The issue is I already have been billed by https://t.co/lDbrHLMuNj, the in service receipt shows successful payment but failure to reach AEDC. Their site offers no contact information to request a refund. So my money is yet to be accounted for.
I understand why that question gets asked. It may come from a genuine place. You are trying to protect the image of a loving God, and I respect that instinct. But the question itself carries a hidden assumption that we need to surface before we go any further.
You are assuming that killing is inherently evil. That ending a life is always wrong. But is that actually true?
You end the life of animals to eat. Is that sin? When a soldier defends his nation and puts an enemy combatant to death, is he a murderer? I suspect you do not think so. You kill the rats and insects that threaten your home without a second thought. And if someone broke into your house tonight and went for your children, I am fairly confident you would not stand there quoting this theology. You would stop them by whatever means necessary, and nobody with any moral clarity would call you evil for it.
So killing is not inherently sinful. It depends entirely on context, authority, and purpose. What makes a killing just or unjust is not the act itself but who is doing it, why, and by what right.
Now consider this. God is not borrowing life from anyone. He is the source of it. He owns it in a way that no human being owns anything. The wicked do not own their lives. None of us do. So when God ends a life in judgment, he is not committing murder. He is the author of life exercising authority over what is his.
So this is not about me wanting God to kill. This is about me refusing to edit God when his actions make me uncomfortable. I cannot serve a God I have redesigned to suit my sensibilities. You cannot be holier than God. You cannot be more loving than God. If the same God who says he is love also tells you he will destroy the wicked and the unrepentant, then the problem is not God. The problem is your definition of love.
Which brings me to my question for you.
Why do you want a God who doesn’t kill? Why do you need a God you can edit? Are you embarrassed by him? Do you think you have a more refined moral sense than the God who drowned the world in judgment, who swallowed up Korah and his company, who will return to destroy the wicked and unrepentant at the end of the age? Do you think you know better than God about what love requires?
Because there is something you are not seeing. You frame this as me forcing God to do something. But I am not forcing God to do anything. I am accepting the God who has revealed himself. You are the one putting up a hand and saying “God, not that, not here, I am not comfortable with that part.” You are the one editing the testimony. You are the one standing in judgment over the Judge.
And the implications of that position are more serious than you may have considered. If you are willing to keep engaging, I have a few questions that will show you exactly where that road leads.
What then can you claim is inspired by the holy spirit? All you can know of the holy spirit is from there. What if that too is demonic inspiration. A demon lied to you in the Bible that God is Love. A demon lied to you that Jesus healed. God is actually Hate. But you can't know.
I don’t believe in BIBLE INERRANCY, if what you call BIBLE INERRANCY is that everything in the Bible is inspired by God and divinely correct.
That’s rubbish.
Kings spoke in the Bible.
Satan spoke.
Animals spoke.
Demons spoke.
Angels spoke.
Slaves spoke.
Farmiliar spirits spoke.
Prophets spoke.
Fools spoke.
Wise people spoke.
Pharaoh spoke.
For example, did Joseph have the Spirit of God in Him?
“And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?”
Genesis 41:38 KJV
The Spirit came into believers after Jesus was glorified.
All Joseph had was his gift of dreams and interpretation.
The fact that Pharaoh said Joseph had the Spirit in him doesn’t make it true!
Again, there is progressive revelation within the canon.
“Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.”
1 Kings 22:23 KJV
God puts a lying spirit in people’s mouths?
Nah!
Let God be true even if men are liars!
See, you will get to know God fully as you see Jesus in His conducts!
You will have the light of life and stop walking in darkness!
You can’t claim everything in the Bible is inspired by the HolySpirit, including words of devils.
Please stay sound!
