Hello everyone,
I hope your day was good. So, I wrote an article on the need to adopt volunteering in our educational system for @ViewPointNig . I'll appreciate your honest feedback. See you in the comment section. Article on click https://t.co/V2Xk7396QM
A new house of God rises in the heart of Lekki, (Periwinkle Estate)
The Catholic Church of the Holy Trinity, Lekki stands as a living sign of faith, unity and renewed hope, where the People of God gather to worship in spirit and in truth.
Get inspo from shein and Temu, get materials from Oshodi and Yaba; look for a decent tailor and let her sew nice outfits for you. All this won't cost you 30k.
These RTW brands with their ridiculous prices and faux cultural names need to die a natural death in this country.
You know what shocked me when I converted to Christianity from Islam?
The deeper I got into Christianity, the more I realized it's the only thing I've ever touched that doesn't run out.
You can master business, law, medicine, psychology, investing.
And then what?
You die.
Your accomplishments become a résumé nobody reads and a legacy most people forget.
But Christianity is different.
There is no ceiling.
No finish line.
No "you've made it" badge.
The deeper you go, the deeper it gets.
It tears down your pride, rebuilds your identity, and keeps transforming you long after every other pursuit has reached its limit.
I used to think Christianity was soft.
Too forgiving.
Too emotional.
Too much "God loves you."
Now I see it as the most radical truth
I've ever encountered.
A holy God stepped into the dirt, faced humanity head-on, and made a way home for people who could never save themselves.
He doesn't demand perfection first.
He says, "Come home."
Show me another kingdom that survives death.
Show me another King people willingly suffer, sacrifice, and die for two thousand years later.
You can't.
Because Christianity isn't just a religion.
It's the only eternal story I've ever found.
And Jesus is the cornerstone that never crumbles.
Sarah. Rebekah. Rachel. Hannah. Elizabeth.
Different women.
One common thread:
Infertility didn't get the final word.
God did.
Dear God,
In this season of waiting and longing,
wrap every woman who yearns to conceive in Your gentle love.
Strengthen her heart, calm her fears,
and bless her body with the gift of new life in Your perfect time.
Fill her with hope, patience, and unshakable peace.
Amen.
You are not alone—may this prayer bring comfort whenever you need it. ❤️
No religious organisation in this world is structured to make you holy as the Catholic Church is.
A devout Catholic always bears two things in mind before committing any sin; "I will have to go to Confession," and "I won't be able to receive Jesus in the Eucharist till then," and believe me when I say that many Catholics can't stay without the Eucharist.
Indeed, the Eucharist reduces the hunger for sin
We are grateful for this wonderful gift from God
Everyone should be Catholic. The world would be better that way.
I recommend Jesus to you today. I am calling you home to the Catholic Church today.
Harden, not your heart.

From Islam to Catholic Priesthood: The Inspiring Story of Fr. Idris Moses Gwanube
Fr. Idris Moses Gwanube (also known as Fr. Moses Idris), a Nigerian from a staunch Muslim family in Mararraba (Maraba), Taraba State, Northeast Nigeria, converted to Catholicism as a teenager.
Born into a polygamous Muslim family (his father is a Muslim cleric), he worked as a bread hawker near a Catholic church. At around age 14 (starting in December 2004), he began attending church services, fell in love with the liturgy and hymns, and became a catechumen.
His conversion came at a heavy personal cost:
- He was repeatedly beaten by his older brothers each time he returned from church.
- He faced rejection from family and friends.
- He was expelled from home.
- His former Muslim community issued threats and even an arrest warrant against him.
Despite the persecution, Fr. Gwanube persevered. He entered the seminary, studied philosophy and theology at St. Augustine’s Major Seminary in Jos, served a pastoral year, and was ordained a deacon on July 18, 2021.
On February 25, 2022, he was ordained a Catholic priest by Bishop Charles Michael Hammawa at Our Lady Queen of Peace Cathedral in Jalingo, Taraba State, alongside five others. His Muslim parents attended the ceremony — a powerful sign of reconciliation.
He later served as Assistant Parish Priest at Holy Family Catholic Parish in Takum, Jalingo Diocese. His journey is a powerful testimony of faith, resilience, and God’s providence amid religious tensions in Nigeria.

As a Christian baptised in the Catholic church, I can 100 percent say that, whatever ancestral curse agenda anybody is packaging for you is broken, cleared, washed away by the waters of Baptism.
Adam and Eve are our spiritual parents, we inherited the original sin from them. I think, that is why some species of humans use this ancestral curse thing to terrify people. Ancestral blessings, Abraham is our father in faith. His blessings are ours. David's too. We have more ancestral blessings than the curses. Pessimistic Christians however focus on the curses. It is important that we live good lives and not do others harm, to be good Christians so that people do not say terrible things against us and our children.
Ancestral curse is real, as a nation. "Our heroes past" were greedy, tribalistic urchins. That is why we are here now. The creatures in power currently are worse the greedy heroes. And this is why Nigeria will suffer terribly, until a good leader will come to establish ancestral blessings.
Genocide Memorial Monument, Yelewata Village, Benue State, Nigeria.
Yesterday, June 14, marked one year since the massacre of 271 innocent persons - men, women, and children - in Yelewata.
The memorial monument bears the names of all 271 victims who lost their lives on that tragic day, June 14, 2025. It was commissioned on Saturday, June 13, 2026, by the Catholic Bishop of Makurdi, Wilfred Chikpa Anagbe.
May their souls continue to rest in peace. Amen🙏
Today, we concluded another partnership with Sterling Bank to launch the Sterling Bank National Mathematics Quiz. A nationwide competition designed to discover, reward, and celebrate Nigeria’s brightest young minds.
Starting Saturday, June 20, 2026, students from Primary 1 to SS3 across Nigeria will compete online every two weeks for the prizes.
1st Prize – ₦500,000
2nd Prize – ₦300,000
3rd Prize – ₦200,000
That’s ₦1,000,000 every two weeks and ₦24,000,000 every year dedicated solely to rewarding academic excellence among Nigerian children.
But this is not just about winning money.
It is about building a culture where intelligence is celebrated.
It is about giving every child, whether in Lagos, Enugu, Kano, Bayelsa, Maiduguri, Aba, or a remote village, an opportunity to compete on a national stage.
Competition Schedule
• Every two weeks
• Saturdays
• 6:00 PM – 6:20 PM
• Online nationwide
The top performers will then advance to a live championship session streamed online next day same time, where Nigerians can watch some of the country’s brightest students solve challenging mathematical problems in real time.
To ensure fairness and give more students the opportunity to benefit, every student can only win once.
And here’s what makes it even better:
Every participant will be able to review their questions after the competition, identify their weaknesses, learn from their mistakes, and prepare for the next challenge.
This means that even students who don’t win become better mathematicians.
Parents, teachers, school owners, and students should begin preparing immediately.
The questions will be tough and the competition will be fierce.
Registration is now open:

Please share this with every child, parent, teacher, school owner, principal, and education stakeholder you know.
Let’s make academic excellence prestigious again.
We must keep in mind two attitudes in our Christian life in order to be “wise architects” in building the civilization of love. The first guiding principle is to take up the cross of Christ as Good Samaritans, accompanying and helping to carry the burdens of so many brothers and sisters who are crucified by life’s trials. The second principle is to cultivate a Eucharistic spirituality, a spirituality of ecclesial unity in love.
The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney
