No, Nigeria did not ban only white models;
the policy prohibits the use of foreign models and voice-over artists in advertisements targeted at the Nigerian market, regardless of race or ethnicity.
This means the ban applies to all non-Nigerian citizens, aiming to promote local talent and address the overrepresentation of foreigners in ads.
So, it's not just white people, as you make it seem. It's foreigners. Meaning we have whites who are Nigerians that you can use—if you want to.
They are saying, use Nigerians to sell to Nigerians. Where is the problem?
You can't just outsource all the big money to others who aren't from Nigeria while you make all the money in Nigeria.
I don't think that's discrimination; it's protection.
It gives Nigerians more opportunities to thrive in their country in a space where they have been previously excluded.
You wouldn't know what that is until you have seen how these multinationals abused all their privileges in Nigeria.
The Grace of Being Forgotten
There are seasons when God leads us into quiet corners of life, not to punish us, but to refine our faith. There is a strange beauty in being unseen, misunderstood, and rejected. When the noise fades, when applause ceases, when people who once stood beside us drift away, we begin to taste the kind of dependence that cannot be learned in comfort.
I know what it means to walk that path. Ministry often feels like a long, narrow road lined with silence. There are days when I preach to hearts that seem far away, and nights when I wrestle with questions that have no quick answers. There are moments when the weight of isolation feels unbearable, when the very people who should have stood by are nowhere to be found. And yet, even in that loneliness, there is a lesson that no crowd can teach. It is in that silence that we discover that Christ is enough.
God has a way of stripping us down until all that remains is Him. When Elijah sat under the broom tree, he was not useless - he was being emptied. When Moses tended sheep in Midian, he was not forgotten - he was being shaped. When Paul sat in chains, he was not sidelined - he was being perfected. Every servant of God must learn the art of hiddenness. It is there that pride dies, and grace grows.
When you have no one left to affirm you, you learn to rest in the smile of heaven. When no one claps for your obedience, you find joy in the unseen approval of God. When no one understands your tears, you remember that Christ Himself was “despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief” (Isaiah 53:3).
In this world, we measure success by visibility. God measures it by faithfulness. The man who preaches unseen in a village is no less valuable than the one speaking before thousands. The woman praying in secret is no less powerful than the one leading a crowd. The kingdom of God does not operate on recognition; it operates on surrender.
Even now, as I walk this narrow road, often in loneliness, I see His mercy in it. The absence of human help has taught me to rely on divine strength. The silence of friends has forced me to listen more closely to the Shepherd’s voice. And the rejection of men has only made me long more deeply for the acceptance found in Christ alone.
If you find yourself unseen, take heart. You are not forgotten but you are being refined. The hidden places are holy ground. The wilderness is not the end of ministry; it is where real ministry begins. God is not punishing you by isolating you; He is preparing you to depend on nothing and no one but Him.
So let us not despise the lonely road. It is there that faith is purified, motives are tested, and grace becomes more than a word - it becomes breath.
“For when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:10).
@RapidResponse47@FBIDirectorKash@maziehirono Oh so now women can't physically do these pull-ups but men deciding to be women doesn't pose a physically difference in athletics. Democrat logic on full display.
Are we surprised that the Democratic Party covered up Joe Biden’s health declining??? This is the same party that trotted out Jimmy Carter on life support to vote for Kamala and they celebrated it……
So we basically got full confirmation that the Nephilim built the pyramids and that a massive flood wiped them out and we’re all just acting like that’s no big deal?
