The three monks and the devil—
The devil appeared to three monks and said to them: if I give you power to change something of the past, what would you change?
The first of them, with great apostolic fervor answered: “I would prevent you from causing Adam and Eve to fall into sin so that mankind would not turn away from God.”
The second, a man full of mercy, said to him, “I would keep you from turning away from God and condemning yourself forever.”
The third of them was the simplest and instead of answering the temptor, he got down on his knees, made the sign of the cross and prayed, “Lord, deliver me from the temptation of what might have been and was not.”
The devil, yelling and twitching in pain vanished. The other two, shocked, said, “Brother, why did you react like that?”
He answered them, “First: we must NEVER dialogue with evil.
Second: NO ONE in the world has the power to change the past.
Third: Satan’s INTEREST was not to test our virtue, but to get caught in the past, so that we neglect the present moment, the only time when God gives us His grace and we can cooperate with it to do His will."
Of all the devils, the one that catches men the most and keeps them from being happy is the one of "what could have been and it wasn't." The past is at the Mercy of God and the future lies at the hands of His Providence.
Only the present is in our hands.
All of you from all the 6 regions of Nigeria are being royally SET UP, and all you bunch of dummies can see is your local tribal quarrels with each other.
Someone in DC currently has you on a 6-year timer to degenerate into DR Congo/Somalia/Yugoslavia, but all you can see is your Yoruba this, Biafra that, Muslim the other one - meanwhile all of you are going to die, and your nonsense will die with you.
Your *real* enemy (not your neighbour that is as poor and useless as you) produced this report in the same year that it tried to open a military base in Nigeria. You can see the report already has detailed plans for how to share your land to extract the resources under it after you have died.
Just continue fighting your stupid poor man fights against each other, you hear? Keep on ignoring the man behind the curtain. Your enemy in life is <insert tribe that nobody outside Nigeria has heard of or gives a fuck about>
It will kuku all be over in 72 months.

“When lovers are together, they spend hours and hours repeating the same thing: ‘I love you!’ What is missing in the people who think the Rosary monotonous is Love; and everything that is not done for love is worthless.”
“The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families… that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.”
“Since we all need to pray, God asks of us, as a kind of daily installment, a prayer which is within our reach: the Rosary, which can be recited either in common or in private, either in church in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament or at home, either with the rest of the family or alone, either when traveling or while walking quietly in the fields. A mother of a family can say the Rosary while she rocks her baby’s cradle or does the housework. Our day has 24 hours in it. It is not asking a great deal to set aside a quarter of an hour for the spiritual life, for our intimate and familiar converse with God.” - Sister Lucia 🙏🏻🌹
"The Church was buried in the catacombs; she rose again with Constantine. She died in the Dark Ages; she rose again with Charlemagne. She died with the Renaissance; she rose again with the saints of the Counter-Reformation. You cannot kill the Catholic Church."

My respect for this genius & writer extraordinaire (who came before his time) just doubled. Everything he wrote decades ago, came to pass! His name is Chinua Achebe. Nigeria didn’t learn a thing!!
Whatever you see in Lagos today is the legacy Tinubu's Lagos - Lagos wasn't always like this, at least not before 1999.
Whatever you see in Lagos today will be replicated in Abuja because you've handed the highest seat in the land to thugs & drug peddlers.
You will miss Buhari.
The Feast of the Holy Face was established by Pope Pius XII upon Shrove Tuesday (the day before Ash Wednesday, the start of Lent).
“Every time My Face is contemplated I will pour out My Love into the hearts of those persons, and by means of My Holy Face the salvation of...
Anambra would have been pocketed like Lagos by Arthur Eze or Ubah brothers but you know what? Obi happened and retired them all.
No single person can lay claim to the state treasury. Thanks to Obi.
Nigerians anticipate! 💯
Bad men who steal admit honesty; evil men who do not steal, call dishonesty "honesty," totalitarianism "democracy," slavery "freedom." Evil men can be nice at table, polite with women, courteous in Washington, refined in London and calm in Geneva.
Before being bank rolled,this is Ogbeni Dipo writing about Peter Obi and even predicting the SAME THING he is doing to Peter Obi today👉 that people will rise to Lie against PO.
