There is no Church in Nigeria that has made an impact on Nigerians, in terms of employment, health, education and skills acquisition as much as RCCG has done. RCCG has also encouraged it's members to get involved in their core civic responsibility on election which is to vote and to be voted for.
SPEAKING SOLEMNLY
Anyone living in sexual sins (fornication, adultery, pornography, etc), has no place in Christian ministry. Immorality is a very big deal, scripturally. The believer's BODY is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Yes, the BODY. Therefore, what you do with God's dwelling place must be of colossal significance. Don't you see it?
And, because of the sacredness of Christian ministry, while you can legitimately be a struggling Believer for a season, you cannot be a struggling minister, if the struggle is that you have not overcome sexual immorality. In this regard, the category of a struggling minister does not exist, biblically considered.
This is not about being a "wounded soldier." But in any case, if a soldier takes a bullet during combat, we don't hand him over to the enemies, yes. And we also don't leave him in the frontline to continue fighting – with his wound. We take him out and away for treatment. Whether he can even return to active duty later on depends on the severity/impact of the 'wound' sustained and the assessment of the team managing his case. Taking him out of combat is a responsible act of love and not a case of "condemning our own."
Back from the digression. It is alien to the spirit of Christ, to say someone is a minister of the gospel, even though he commits immorality. The practice of immorality cannot coexist with legitimate practice of ministry. A fornicator or an adulterer is not a Minister. Cannot be.
A minister of the gospel MUST be above reproach. People MUST be safe under his care. Money, too, MUST be safe under his care. The bible insists that he sustains a high level of integrity – morally, ethically, socially.
This is why the Charismata, the gifts of the Spirit are never mentioned as qualification or eligibility for ministry. Check the texts.
So, the practice of equating giftedness with eligibility for ministry is unbiblical and should be discouraged. Being a gifted speaker, for instance, does not qualify anyone for Christian ministry. If you know all the Rhema in the book, and all the historic fine points of orthodoxy, but you're an intermittent fornicator/adulterer, you are ineligible for Christian Ministry. You need to be discipled, you should not be discipling anyone, at all.
Read the passage below carefully, to the very last verse, please: It says a Pastor:
"...must be a good man whose life cannot be spoken against. He must have only one wife, and he must be hard working and thoughtful, orderly, and full of good deeds. He must enjoy having guests in his home and must be a good Bible teacher. He must not be a drinker or quarrelsome, but he must be gentle and kind and not be one who loves money. He must have a well-behaved family, with children who obey quickly and quietly. For if a man can’t make his own little family behave, how can he help the whole church? The pastor must not be a new Christian because he might be proud of being chosen so soon, and pride comes before a fall. (Satan’s downfall is an example.) Also, he must be well spoken of by people outside the church—those who aren’t Christians—so that Satan can’t trap him with many accusations and leave him without freedom to lead his flock"
On the last point above, many people who work in Hotels don't take the church seriously because the see the behind-the-scenes lifestyle of Pastors. A minister must have one life, must be not be two-faced. And he must be an example to both insiders and outsiders.
If the church is weak, Satan is only a remote cause. If the church is weak anywhere, the church is the reason why.
And now, may the glorious Lord of the church step into this seeming perpetual desolation, and pour us the blessing that is Revival.

STATEHOUSE STATEMENT
PRESIDENT TINUBU'S STATEMENT ON CHILDREN'S DAY AND OUR CHILDREN IN CAPTIVITY
On this Children’s Day, I celebrate every Nigerian child. I celebrate the child who is excelling in school. I celebrate the child who is learning a trade. I celebrate the child living with disability and still pressing forward with courage. I celebrate the child who has lost much but has not lost hope.
Today belongs to you. It is a day to celebrate your innocence, your strength, your creativity, your aspirations, and the immeasurable value you bring to our nation. You are the pride of our Republic, the custodians of tomorrow’s promise, and the living reminder that we can shape the future of Nigeria by the opportunities we create for our children today.
The theme for this year’s celebration, “Future Now: Promoting Inclusion for Every Nigerian Child,” speaks powerfully to the soul of our national conscience. It reminds us that the future is not a distant promise; it is already here.
As we mark this special day, which coincides with Eid-el-Kabir, some Nigerian children and their teachers in Oyo and Borno should be with their families, but are being held captive by criminals. Some children have been forced into fear. Some parents cannot join today’s celebration because their hearts are set on one prayer: ‘Bring our children home.’
To those children, their parents, and their teachers, I say this as a father and your President: you are not forgotten. You are not abandoned.
To the families grieving and despondent, your government will not turn your pain into ceremony. We will continue to work until children taken from their homes, schools and communities are returned safely, and until those who profit from this cruelty are brought to justice.
I have directed all relevant security agencies to sustain and intensify coordinated rescue operations for abducted children and other vulnerable citizens across the country. These operations must be intelligence-led, carefully executed and focused on the safe recovery of our children.
I have also directed the strengthening of school protection measures in high-risk areas. This will include updated school vulnerability mapping, closer coordination between state governments and security commands, rapid response links between schools and local security units, and stronger community-based early warning systems.
The Federal Ministry of Education, working with state governments, is to deepen the implementation of the Safe Schools framework with clear reporting, clear responsibility and clear timelines. Every school in a vulnerable area must know who to call, what to do, where to move, and how to protect children when danger is identified.
We will also improve support for children who have survived abduction, violence and displacement. Rescue is not the end of the government’s duty. A child who returns from trauma must return to care, medical attention, counselling, education and dignity. I have directed the relevant ministries and agencies to ensure that recovered children receive proper reintegration support, not temporary attention.
Let me also state that protecting children cannot be left solely to the government. Parents, teachers, traditional rulers, religious leaders, community leaders, youth groups, transport unions, local vigilantes and the media all have a role to play. When a community sees strange movement around a school and keeps quiet, a child is placed at risk. When warning signs are ignored, families suffer. When information is shared quickly and responsibly, lives can be saved.
This is why we will continue to strengthen the link between communities and security agencies. The fight to protect children must begin before an attack happens, not after one has already occurred.
My administration remains committed to a Nigeria where every child can learn safely, grow in good health, eat well, access opportunity and dream without fear. We are investing in education, health care, nutrition, social protection, digital skills and safer communities because childhood must not be a privilege reserved for a few. It is the right of every Nigerian child.
To our children, you matter—your dreams matter; your safety matters. Your education matters. Be assured that your future matters to this government and to this nation, and we will safeguard it.

Bandit abducted pupils, students, teachers and principals yesterday at oriire local government, Oyo State.
Let citizens protect themselves! Government has failed us
If “person” get car, person go still complain of the audacity of carless man to ask her out.
Kings, no way you’re winning this agenda.
Bunch of shallow thinkers!
This is not even about women and entitlement but as a poor person you shouldn’t be in a relationship with another poor person. I can’t be in a keke and wanting to have anything to do with someone boarding keke too. At least one person should be okay/stable in that relationship
Seyilaw told you people it’s not today they been kidnapping, he speaks the mind of his friends in power. That’s the discussion they have behind closed doors. They don’t give a hoot about citizens.
No single government official has come out to say anything about the kidnap of that Corp member.
Not even the DG of NYSC.
To them, It's just another kidnap case amongst thousands of others and life must go on.
A lot of 70s and colonial infrastructure failed because the people who built it handed it over to people who had neither interest in running them or stakes. If they had privatized and sold to young people, many would still be working. Govts lack competence to run machines.
And you’re absolutely RIGHT!!!!
Exceptional songwriting and musical interpretation!
NO usage of tongues to cover up lack of mental aptitude in songwriting.
Without pad,strings, chants and tongues, what will be left of the song? Will the remaining words edify? Will they make sense and have a message?
Remove the hot-yam-in-the-mouth sounds. What’s left of that song you are about to record/release? Don’t mask mediocrity with “sound”.
Unfortunately, we lack empathy in this country. How are you compiling results, see CGPA of 4.49 and you can’t round it up to a 4.5?!
What exactly is the meaning of 4.48?!
Why is anyone graduating with a 3.49?!
2:2 is not the end of life but does it really even make sense that 2.51 and 3.47 are in the same category of second class lower?
@prodigal_Jerry@aproko_doctor Chairman! Sit this one out! I’m a trained biochemist and academician.
In proximate analysis, beans contains carbohydrates. But in nutritional benefits, the body can’t process the carbohydrates it contain hence the low glycemic index.
Hope you learnt something new?
