You cannot be a good Christian except you are a Christian. A Christian is one who believes that Jesus is his lord and personal savior and that Jesus is the way of salvation for all humans.
If you do not believe this you are not a Christian. And if you are not a Christian you cannot be a good Christian
Renewed Tragedy
I finished a TV analysis on the sack of the Ministers of Finance and Housing and a director in a federal ministry called me. It was one of the most emotional discussions I have had in recent time. This guy told me how many technocrats are destroyed by Tinubu’s government refusal to release money for projects. The budget goes to political funds as the World Bank reported. This director said he had never seen this level of state capture. He knew Doris would be downgraded the day she said the truth against official lie. And perhaps that is why a Squeler, an taxation evangelist without candor like Oyedele would replace Edu.
He wailed and prayed that somehow God would save Nigeria from Tinubu. His only consolation is that he is going on retirement so he does not continue to deal with hungry contractors and service providers whose bills are not paid because budgets have been tracked and trapped in political funds.
I was sobered by this conversation. I ask myself, “who really thinks this administration has done well? Well, only three class of people:
1. Social media influencers who are paid for gigs and are also monetizing,
2. Governors who are receiving windfalls and creating their own political funds,
3. Ethnic bigots who think “it is our turn to eat”, and
4. 1% business pirates whose businesses are part of the platforms for current Ponzi schemes of our economic casino and their accessories
I am yet to encounter any Nigerian outside this four categories who believes this government has done well. Let me know if you have.
You don’t have to support Donald Trump to notice this: the level of obsession, outrage, and nonstop hostility aimed at one man feels bigger than politics. At some point, the question becomes, what does he represent that triggers such intense reaction?
You can't defend the actions of this government and not make a fool of yourself. Look at Daniel Bwala, with no integrity, being disgraced with his very words. The effect of stomach infrastructure. Sadly, someone will tell him he did well at the interview😅. How sad to watch.
Resist distractions today.
They will launch distractions from the usual suspects this morning. Resist.
Let’s focus and challenge the system.
1. NNPCL can’t account for N210 trillion (with a T)
2. NNPCL rebranded from NNPC for N5.9bn
3. Bwala got decimated for trying to defend the Satanic APC govt.
Focus.
@Morris_Monye They've been at each other's throat since the beginning, and this is not surprising to anyone. She's been sidelined since, and with Wike having the backing of President Tinubu to act as he wishes, there's no way they would ever meet. Sadly, it is what it is.
Please pay the same attention you give to the presidential elections to who you elect as your governors, senators, House of Assembly, and representative members.
#NigeriaDecides2027
@OkeStalyf The improvement is one that gets them re-elected. Once elected, they suddenly refuse improvement. The game of personal interests over national progress would always be their primary goal
My fellow Nigerians, I make this passionate appeal to you. In 2027, please pay more attention to who you elect as governors, senators, and House of Representatives members. We can't continue this show of shame every day. This whole fixation on the president is not helping us.
@afrisagacity He knew that the APC was majority in the house and putting it to a vote would mean he would have lost woefully cause many people won't have wanted to vocal about their stand on the matter. So it was just better to withdraw and let it go through the normal way of voting
The Senate has just done what would still benefit them. Including the clause that should network fail or so, the presiding officer should return to manual, which is the primary show that there's plan for more glitches in 2027. Interesting Times Ahead🍿🥤
@emmaikumeh This was definitely going to be their game plan. So now we are expecting more glitches than was had during the 2023 elections.
Interesting Times Ahead 🍿🥤
@Imranmuhdz Sen. Abaribe knows putting it to a vote with the APC as the majority. He would lose the fight, so it's best they leave it open. Hopefully, they fight it out
STOP the Bloodshed in this Land. Period.
What are all these silly Debates about, really?
Of what use are Governments that cannot protect their own people?
Of what use are “leaders” who do not value the lives of their people?
Of what humanity are people in power and our society who defend such failures?
Of what Future are a people who allow such evil to become normal in their country while they sit around to “debate” about the mass killings of their fellow countrymen, women and children to determine if it is really “Genocide”?
In 2015, they came for our Chibok daughters and several others, Nigerians sat around debating “Politics” while the parents of the girls cried in anguish pleading to “even be believed that they are not “scam parents”.
Those that believed them, joined their cries, stood in empathy to ask Governments to take constitutionally mandated effective actions for the girls’ rescue.
Our cries and demands fell on deaf ears and hardened hearts.
We cautioned that if Government failed to act decisively against the terrorists by allowing them to go unpunished, the inaction and absence of deterrence would embolden the organized deadly criminals.
What we cautioned against happened and in 2018, same terrorists abducted Dapchi School girls.
As predicted, Kidnappings soon escalated and morphed into an Industry with many families in this country becoming victims of the same losses, griefs and anguish that the ChibokGirls, Leah Sharibu and their parents were left to suffer.
More than 90% of the Chibok Secondary School girls that were abducted were Christians.
I for example did not know this until much later in the demand for their rescue and justice.
Sharibu was punished for being a Christian and not released along with her classmates when Government negotiated their freedom.
Yet, as kidnappings and killings escalated, rather than take responsibility and act effectively, Governments were more interested in unleashing all manner of assaults on innocent citizens who demanded for accountability and results.
I ask again, “Of what use are “leaders” and Governments that cannot protect their own people?”
Stop the silly debates.
Stop defending the indefensible.
Stop the irresponsible deflecting.
Stop the heartless indifference to the sufferings and injustices done to others.
There are no ifs, buts and whataboutism about the mass killings of Nigerians.
Just be human by imagining what it feels like to be in the line of vulnerability that historic, courageous and incredible Reverend Ezekiel and others have been calling all of us to see.
When your fellow humans tell you they are being targeted, learn to listen with human compassion.
The Death and Dearth of Empathy is the basis of some of the horrible definitional debates on “Genocide” that is going on in a Land where hundreds of our fellow citizens are killed daily with impunity.
Even a Lai Mohammed called it Genocide in 2023 when he was Minister of Information. Yes, the same Lai Mohammed that Nigerians know.
The Death and Dearth of Empathy is the basis of some of the horrible definitional debates on “Genocide” that is going on in a Land where hundreds of our fellow citizens are killed daily with impunity.
So what really is all the Debates about?
One more Nigerian does not deserve to be killed while our Governments do nothing. Period.
Be Human Beings for a change and stop “majoring in the minors”.
It did not have to take the insults and threat from Trump to wake up our Government to the Duty of Care it owes EVERY CITIZEN of Nigeria.
Again, Be Human Beings for Once.
STOP the Bloodshed in OUR Land.
Period. ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾
Rather, insisting on accountability and good governance does. It's even more hilarious that the same Nigerians support and applaud the way the American press insults and throws questions at President Trump and demand that he answers. Here we play the respect card! How sad!
So Nigerians are calling Rufai Oseni rude and unprofessional for his gruelling questions to the Minister of Works, Sen. Dave Umahi. This is really hilarious and shows again why the country is still this way. Many Nigerians are too emotional, and emotions don't progress a nation
