I am horridly disappointed in so many comments I am seeing & it shows that we only interpret scriptures to fit our narrative.
For clarity sake, I will explain this like I am explaining to a 10-year-old:
1. There is ONLY ONE GOD.
If you say otherwise, you are a heretic
There are no 3 Gods. God forbid.
“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.” — Deuteronomy 6:4
A singular term was used and a singular Being was described.
The Bible never teaches the existence of three separate Gods. From Genesis to Revelation, God consistently reveals Himself as ONE.
“I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God.” — Isaiah 45:5
2. Jesus is NOT a second God.
Jesus is the visible manifestation of the invisible God.
All through the OT, He was ONLY referred to as the Word of God, not Jesus, not until He put on flesh and became like man.
“For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” — Colossians 2:9
When God chose to reveal Himself in human flesh to redeem mankind, that manifestation was Jesus Christ.
This is why Jesus could say:
“He that hath seen me hath seen the Father.” — John 14:9
Not because Jesus is another God standing beside the Father, but because the Father was revealed through Him.
3. The Holy Spirit is NOT a third God.
The Holy Spirit is simply God in spiritual operation and manifestation.
The Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ, and the Holy Spirit are used interchangeably throughout Scripture.
God is Spirit (John 4:24).
“Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you…Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” — John 16:7,13
You can see from the above that Jesus needed to go so He can SEND His Spirit to us — the Holy Spirit which is the Spirit of Christ. Hence, Jesus still working with us here on earth but as a Spirit — Same God.
So when God works in the hearts of men, convicts, guides, comforts, empowers, and dwells in believers, we call that operation of God the Holy Spirit.
4. One God, different manifestations.
The confusion comes when people mistake distinctions of manifestation for distinctions of identity.
God is above us as Father,
God is with us as Son,
God is in us as Holy Spirit.
Different manifestations, same God.
Just as a man can be a father to his children, a husband to his wife, and a son to his parents while remaining one person, God can reveal Himself in different ways without becoming multiple Gods.
5. Jesus is the fullest revelation of God.
The ultimate revelation of God is Jesus Christ.
“God was manifest in the flesh.” — 1 Timothy 3:16
Not “God the Son was manifest in the flesh.”
God Himself was manifested in the flesh.
So when we worship Jesus, we are not worshipping a second member of a heavenly committee. We are worshipping the one true God who chose to reveal Himself to humanity through Christ.
There is one God.
Jesus is that God revealed in flesh.
The Holy Spirit is that same God dwelling in believers.
One God. Not three Gods.
That has always been the testimony of Scripture.
Hence, I don’t know what theology some of y’all pride yourselves with big theological grammar — throw that garbage away & stand on the simplicity of the scriptures which is clear enough for all to understand.
Stop complicating scriptures.

I love series movies especially the ones centred on espionage or action or gun a blazing type. However if you release an episode and takes long to release next episode, me I've moved on o. Sharp!
If they had told you that this man came out of that car without a scratch, would you have believed?
That’s Apostle Effa Emmanuel Isaac…
There is a God in heaven & He keeps His own
THEY DID IT TO MKO. THEY DID IT TO JONATHAN. NOW IT’S TINUBU’S TURN.
by George Udom
Let’s stop pretending. What you’re seeing isn’t normal politics. It’s a war.
1993 FLASHBACK:
Sultan of Sokoto warned IBB: “Don’t let a Yoruba man become President.”
IBB told Prof. Omoruyi: “Yoruba act like Nigeria can’t move without them. Igbo should teach them a lesson.”
Result? June 12 was annulled.
Why? Ethnic fear, not competence.
2023 PLAYBOOK:
Same fear. Same desperation. Different target: Tinubu.
Why they want him out:
He’s not Obasanjo. He wasn’t handpicked by the North. He fought his way up.
Subsidy removal cut their illegal cash pipeline.
Oil bunkering, illegal mining, FX rackets, tax evasion — Tinubu is blocking it all.
He doesn’t take orders from any cabal.
So what are they doing?
COALITION. Media attacks. Paid protests. Misinformation. Religious + ethnic blackmail.
Same script they used on Jonathan when Yar’Adua died. Make the country ungovernable.
Truth: This isn’t about Tinubu’s perfection. It’s about control.
Old Nigeria vs New Nigeria.
Puppets vs Independent leaders.
Looter’s paradise vs Real reform.
If they remove Tinubu, they kill the idea that a Southern leader who isn’t a puppet can survive.
If they win, we go back to 1960. Same cabal. Same looting. Same backwardness.
No leader is perfect. But for the first time, the man in Aso Rock isn’t waiting for permission from anyone. That’s why they’re panicking.
Pain of reform is temporary. Return of the cabal is permanent.
Choose one!

YES, THE SOUTH EAST IS LANDLOCKED BUT THAT'S NOT A DEATH SENTENCE.
There has been uproar over the move by the federal government to unlock certain seaports in the West and South South.
That's massive move towards activation of Nigeria's dormant economic potentials.
But none of these seaports are to be sited around the South East.
Over the night I tried to look at the possibility for that .
We have never had a seaport and we can't have one now.
(Infact wait for my next post on this....I will explain it further.)
To be honest, Nigeria will not dredge the River Niger now because it has better options.
The South East is not blessed like the South West and South South with major sea coastlines.
The arguments we have heard since we were children was ...
- The Onisha side of River Niger can be a seaport.
- Orashi River can be a seaport.
- Nworie stream can be a seaport.
- Oguta lake can be a seaport.
And so many of us chorused these talking points but last night after thinking and reading, I saw all those were misleading and propaganda.
They are not practical.
Indeed we're landlocked.
But do we or other Nigerians even understand what LANDLOCKED means?
A landlocked region is simply a region without direct deep access to the sea or major international ports.
Yes, compared to regions with massive coastal access like Lagos or Rivers State, the South East has limited seaport advantage.
Honestly brothers and sisters, this is not politics.
This is geographical reality and that was why it was easy to block access to essential products to the Biafran region during the war .
This is not a death sentence.
But here is the controversial truth:
Some of the richest and most industrialized places on Earth are landlocked.
Switzerland is landlocked.
Yet Switzerland became one of the richest countries in human history through banking, precision manufacturing, pharmaceuticals and technology.
Rwanda is landlocked.
Yet Kigali is becoming one of Africa’s cleanest and fastest-growing business hubs.
Ethiopia was landlocked after Eritrea separated in 1993.
Instead of crying endlessly, Ethiopia built Africa’s largest airline and one of Africa’s biggest industrial manufacturing bases.
Meanwhile, some countries with oceans everywhere are still poor because geography is sometimes not destiny.
My Mindset is this.
The South East’s biggest advantage is not oil.
Is not seaports.
Destiny didn't position us in the geography that gives us that advantage.
Our power is in HUMAN CAPITAL.
Before the Nigerian Civil War, the old Eastern Region under leaders like Dr. Michael Okpara built one of Africa’s fastest-growing regional economies through agriculture, industry and education.
They built:
• Farm settlements.
• Palm oil industries.
• The famous Trans-Amadi industrial layout.
• Regional factories.
• Schools and healthcare systems.
At one point, Eastern Nigeria was one of the world’s largest exporters of palm produce.
After the war, the region lost huge federal investments, many industries collapsed, and infrastructure slowed down.
But despite all that, the South East still became one of the most commercially active regions in Africa WITHOUT major seaports.
Think about that carefully.
Aba became an industrial miracle with little government support.
Nnewi became known as the “Japan of Africa.”
Onitsha became one of West Africa’s biggest markets.
Alaba traders, spare parts dealers, transporters, importers and entrepreneurs spread across Nigeria and Africa.
Imagine what the South East would become with proper rail systems, cargo airports, inland dry ports and stable electricity?
The South East should stop seeing the need for a seaport as its most urgent need .
We've never had one and we're not positioned to have one .
Also...
The South East should stop seeing “landlocked” as weakness and start seeing it as a strategy challenge.
Because the future global economy is no longer controlled only by ports.

FILLING THE EMPTY BARRELS
In a different circumstance, we would have said “Nigeria happened” to a mechanical engineer doing the job of a generator mechanic. With sufficient influence, it is easy to take a throne on X as Nigeria's critic-in-chief and begin to pontificate about issues, pretending to know the problems while also pretending to have all the solutions. Of a truth, as a country we have failed our youths by the complete lack of opportunities but in everything, intention matters, and the horizon of your exposure also matters.
I have attached here, photos of trailers and flatbeds that I built in Nigeria locally through Fred, a mechanical engineering graduate. If you zoom into some of the pictures, you'll see his label on the trailer beds. Fred builds trailers here in Lagos to international standards and has become highly successful at it. I used to be one of his customers until demand from West African countries began to dominate those of us patronizing him locally.
Doing haulage business, I entered places I couldn’t have ever believed existed in Nigeria. In ASPAMDA, Trade Fair, there’s also Chuks. Chuks is a Mechanical Engineering graduate from LAUTECH. He developed a full catalogue of trailer CKDs until he became the biggest stockist known anywhere in the country. We buy 52-ton axles from Chuks, then get Fred to handle the entire mechanical design, metallurgical and material selection, full fabrication, and NDT locally. Nigeria engineering graduates have built this into a massive fabrication complex for trailers, making it possible to buy them at almost a half of the price of importing them.
And not just trailers. We have guys who have mastered the craft of soundproofing heavy industrial generators while many of our graduates from different fields now venturing into auto-mechanic repair workshop business. Different strokes for different folks. While there are those who won’t be bothered, there are Nigerians putting in the grind without playing the blame game, in spite of the parlous state that Nigeria’s protracted poor governance has left the country in.
It is not okay to paint all young Nigerians as unskillful, uncreative, unambitiuos or as and unemployable to portray our broken system. A few isolated, judgmental observations are an unfair assessment of the average Nigerian hustle and how much products of our universities do to make headway in spite of the militating socioeconomic barriers.
As i know it, UI, LAUTECH, FUTA, UNIBEN, and Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike have solid engineering faculties, strongly backed with workshop-floor, hands-on practical experience. One of them built all the electricity transformers used on their campus, which is currently at the patent registration phase.
This isn’t to say all is well with industrial and vocational training in Nigeria. Part of the problems can be traced to the derailment of the human capital objectives behind setting up polytechnics, and our society's disdain towards blue-collar jobs.
I wanna buy churches like this that are shutting down across England.
So if you know a church that's for sale and potentially closing down, let me know. I wanna buy a church.
I don't care if it's got planning permission to return to flats redeveloped. I don't care.
I wanna buy it. I don't care how profitable the conversion will be.
If it was built as a church, I believe it needs to stay as a church.
I want to save churches like this one from being shut down and sold off to developers all across the UK.
I love making profit in property, but when someone's being built as a church to honour Jesus Christ, that's a no no.
There's revival coming in England and we need to keep our churches open. Ready for what’s to come.
Is this a good idea you would support?
