Living to show the supreme value of Christ over all things!

“What we want to do in Abia State is to have power in our own hands. In time to come, the entire Abia State will be disconnected from the national grid, and 24-hour electricity supply will be guaranteed across every part of the state.
Electricity matters because about 60–70% of manufacturing costs are tied to energy. I got a call from someone yesterday who already owns a steel plant and wants to relocate it to a state with 24-hour electricity. I told him to come immediately. I have already allocated 5,000 hectares of land to him close to Geometric.”

— Governor Alex Otti speaking today at Invest Lagos.

I am trying very hard to remain civil. Still, I genuinely struggle to understand why, particularly among many men of the pulpit, discussions about Peter Obi so often focus on what you believe he lacks or where you think he falls short.

Rarely do I hear emphasis placed on the qualities that are actually worth emulating: a man who won his party's primaries fairly, who is widely regarded for his integrity, consistency, discipline, and enduring principles. These are virtues that closely mirror the kind of character Christians should aspire to cultivate.

Yet, instead of highlighting those qualities, the conversation often gravitates toward political calculations and traits that appear uncomfortably close to the godfatherism and morally ambiguous actions many of us claim to oppose.

I fully acknowledge that everyone, including pastors, has the right to their political preferences and convictions. However, I would respectfully ask that we recognize what is at stake. Our collective future is on the line, and the standards we choose to celebrate or dismiss today will shape the kind of society we leave behind tomorrow.

Don't do ministry with the "we are going places" mentality.

The idea that local or rural ministry is a wilderness experience while international or urban ministry is the "promised land" is carnal thinking.

True success is staying faithful to whatever God has asked you to do.

[Oby Ezekwesili @obyezeks]

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. ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾

Not in a situation where over 80% of the entire housing stock is privately owned. You can not regulate a market without being a big player.

Content creation in our churches is proof that we can be successful in our attempt to disciple people.

If we can successfully train our people to become "actors" and "journalists" for our church programs, we can surely train them to be imitators and replicas of Christ.

That desire for novelty, that quest to always say something new, to stand out, to be perceived as either equal or superior to the apostles or to be seen as one with a unique and deeper understanding of the Bible will eventually lead you away from the truth.

As a BO in a bank in 2018 earning around 430k-500k net monthly salary, you lived a better life then compared to a Manager earning around 1.7m - 2m now.

PS - There are 3-4 grades between BO and Manager.

This is to put into perspective how we are earning regressively and how badly our purchasing power has been reduced.

I’ll be here with receipts if you’d like to argue.
