Eternal security is found in Christ, not apart from Christ. Our confidence is not in a doctrine detached from a Person; it is in the living Christ, who is able to keep, preserve, and perfect all who abide in Him. "He is able to save completely those who come to God through Him" (Hebrews 7:25). "He is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory" (Jude 24).
However, sonship does not abolish human responsibility. Becoming a child of God does not mean you cease to be a free moral agent. God does not save you by destroying your will. Love cannot be coerced, and covenant cannot exist without response. You still possess the capacity to obey or rebel, to remain or to depart, to persevere or to forsake.
This is precisely why Jesus repeatedly commands, "Abide in Me" (John 15). Such an exhortation would be unnecessary if abiding were automatic. He warns that branches that refuse to remain in the Vine wither and are cut off (John 15:6).
Paul echoes the same truth: "Continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off" (Romans 11:22). The writer of Hebrews warns believers against "departing from the living God" (Hebrews 3:12) and repeatedly calls them to hold fast their confidence to the very end.
The believer's security is therefore the security of abiding union, not independent immunity. Christ has never failed to keep anyone who remains in Him, and He never will. His grip is unbreakable, but Scripture never encourages us to let go of Him.
The New Testament holds two glorious truths together without contradiction: God is mighty to keep, and believers are commanded to continue. We must never magnify one truth by silencing the other.
Eternal security is not a licence to drift from Christ; it is the triumphant assurance that everyone who abides in Christ is eternally secure because Christ Himself is their Keeper.If your goal is to provoke theological reflection, this version strikes a firmer, more compelling tone while staying closely aligned with the biblical exhortations to persevere.

Insecurity: Nigeria Cannot Continue Like This
I received with deep shock and sadness the tragic death of retired Major General Rabe Abubakar, who reportedly died while in the custody of kidnappers. Earlier, before this heartbreaking news, I also received disturbing reports of renewed bandit attacks in Sokoto and Kwara States.
The armed bandits reportedly blocked a market route in Sokoto and abducted traders, while terrorists invaded communities in Kwara State, kidnapping scores of citizens and killing innocent people, are heartbreaking and alarming. These incidents are not isolated tragedies; they are clear manifestations of the deepening security crisis confronting our nation.
But particularly painful is the reported death of Major General Rabe Abubakar, a distinguished military officer who dedicated a significant part of his life to defending Nigeria and protecting its citizens. It is tragic that a man who served his fatherland with honour, rose through the ranks of the Nigerian Armed Forces, and retired after years of meritorious service, would meet such a heartbreaking end at the hands of criminal elements. His death is a national tragedy and a sobering indictment of the insecurity that has engulfed our country.
When traders can no longer travel safely to markets, farmers cannot access their farms, communities live under constant fear, and even retired senior military officers are not spared from the menace of kidnapping and violent crime, it becomes evident that our nation is facing a grave security emergency.
Security remains the foremost responsibility of any government. Every life lost, every citizen abducted, and every community displaced represent a painful failure of our collective duty to protect the Nigerian people. The recurring attacks in Sokoto, Kwara, and many other parts of the country demonstrate that insecurity is not only persisting but spreading in both scope and intensity.
I once again urge the Federal Government and our security agencies to move beyond rhetoric and adopt a more proactive, intelligence-driven, technology-based, and coordinated approach to tackling insecurity. We must strengthen our security architecture, improve intelligence gathering, secure our borders, equip and motivate our security personnel, and ensure that those responsible for these heinous crimes are apprehended and brought to justice.
A nation where citizens live in fear cannot prosper. A nation where economic activities are disrupted daily by criminal elements cannot attract investment, create jobs, or guarantee a better future for its people. We must urgently reclaim every part of our country from terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, and all criminal gangs threatening our collective existence.
My heartfelt condolences go to the family of Major General Rabe Abubakar, his former colleagues in the Armed Forces, and all Nigerians who have lost loved ones to insecurity. I also sympathise with the families of those killed, those abducted, and the affected communities in Sokoto, Kwara, and across the nation.
The recurring tragedies and embarrassing security failures we continue to witness make the quest for a New Nigeria not only necessary but inevitable. We must build a nation where every citizen can live, work, travel, and pursue legitimate economic activities without fear.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

The only sad thing today is that I have had to interact with the trio of you, Wale Adetona, and Egi Nupe.
Naturally, I am removed from interacting with moral and socio-political reprobates like you thousands of TL away.
It is no surprise that you didn't immediately know that the grouping I referenced was moral and not political.
The man you support is the apocalyptic embodiment of vice and vile, gall and guile, and dearth and degeneracy.
Apart from an obvious lack of conscience and your moral apathy, you lot have no intellectual capital to sustain high discourse.
I would naturally not even have any interaction with you. But like I told Wale and Egi, a fate awaits people like you as such that the English language has never described.
Finally, for tonight, I am not a Politics Twitter person, so I want to drop this.
When they ask you, "What did Peter Obi do in Anambra?" Tell them:
1.
Education
(Biggest Win) WAEC/NECO ranking: 26th to 1st nationally (held no. 1 for years).
Rebuilt/rehabbed 1,300+ schools; returned mission schools to churches with full funding.
World Bank studied the “Obi Education Model.”
2. Health
Won $1 million Gates Foundation award for best immunization (polio eradicated).
Accredited 12+ health institutions (from zero in 2006).
Built state teaching hospital + stocked missionary hospitals.
3. Infrastructure & Economy
Built/rehabbed 800–900+ km roads + 28 bridges.
Attracted major investments: SABMiller ($100M+ brewery), Innoson Vehicle Manufacturing.
GDP grew 40% (2009–2011): N735.8B to N1 trillion.
4. Fiscal Prudence & Debt
Rated least indebted by DMO
Handover Funds: N75B+ cash + $150M investments
First Sub-Sovereign Wealth Fund in Nigeria (pioneering in Sub-Saharan Africa).
Cleared pensions/salaries; zero arrears claimed
5.
Security
Turned Anambra from a kidnapping hotspot to one of Nigeria’s safest.
No bank robberies in the final 3-5+ years.
Gave security vehicles to all 177 communities.
6. Human Development
HDI ranking: 8th to 3rd nationally.
Strong gains in education (+22.5%) and health indices.
When they ask you about Peter Gregory Obi, tell them what he did.
When they tell you he can't transform Nigeria, tell them he has led transformation across all sectors before.
Wale, I have just seen your response to me. I have also seen that of Egi Nupe @egi_nupe.
I didn’t reply to him, but I think I can respond to you both with this.
Here is the snapshot of the man you both support:
Before I present the report of the destitution under Bola Ahmed, a leader who lacks the legitimacy of dignified rule, seeking validation from Western leaders and esteem from material, perishable things, let me quote Nelson Mandela:
“A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.”
Now, let’s examine how the man you support has treated those at the lower end of society:
In the first year of Tinubu’s rule, inflation surged to 33.9%. That is a record high we haven’t seen since 1996.
This set off a domino effect of worsening hardship over the next three years.
Then came food inflation. The cost-of-living crisis was described as the “worst in a generation” by Reuters and the World Bank.
He then removed the fuel subsidy, which had previously cushioned fuel prices for Nigerians.
Prices exploded by over 223%. Today, it costs about ₦15,000 to fill a ten-litre keg, about 21% of the minimum wage.
How does the man you support handle poverty?
10 million additional Nigerians were pushed into poverty in 2023 alone.
Poverty rate estimates rose to 59–61% by 2024–2025.
What about the debt being incurred for future generations?
Total public debt ballooned to N152.4 trillion by June 2025, up from N87 trillion at handover.
And it is still rising.
What has he done about the security of the vulnerable?
On average, 33 Nigerians are killed daily under this administration. The highest since Obasanjo.
Kidnappings surged by 31% (2024 vs 2023).
Nigerians paid about N2.23 trillion in ransom between May 2023 and April 2024.
That's almost 3x Osun's N723.45 billion budget.
Nigeria ranks 4th worst globally on the Global Terrorism Index.
Terrorism deaths rose by 46% in 2025.
Terrorists attack military formations, kill soldiers, and even circulate videos of these attacks.
In just six months, several high-ranking officers, including a lieutenant and a general, have been lost.
There were an estimated 12,000–15,000 violence-related incidents in the North between 2023 and 2026.
Finally, corruption.
Transparency International’s CPI places Nigeria around 140–145 out of 180 countries in 2023–2025. We remain among the worst globally.
Wale, you wake up every day and defend this man.
Tinubu has presided over a nation soaked in blood, and he has looked away.
And what has been the response? 55bn in housing renovation. 5bn in a luxury yacht. 10 aircraft in the presidential fleet.
A New Year’s speech saying there is nothing that can be done about the suffering.
And more recently, that Nigerians are suffering, but so are other African countries, so they should be grateful.
I didn’t even mention the corruption angle, such as around 16 trillion in unbidded contracts awarded to Chagoury.
This is the man you support: one who has visited around 24 countries while not spending at least 15 minutes with those being slaughtered in his country.
God bears me witness, I do not need to engage people like you.
The likes of you and Egi Enupe are truly not worth having civil interaction with.
You are the worst of the scrums of the earth.
No moral fibre.
No principles.
No values.
No code.
Your nation is burning down, and you still hoist on your shoulders the man fanning the flames.
If the land speaks, it would curse the likes of you.
If the land moves, it would crush the likes of you.
If the land lives, it would expel the likes of you.
All these will end one day, Wale, and I promise you, a fate awaits you the likes of which the English language has never described.
Until then, enjoy the nectar of death that ravishes the nation.
When it is done, it will turn to you.
A nation cannot move forward while lives are being wasted.
When will we choose people over politics?
When will human life truly matter again? ����🇬
QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE ANSWERED:
Is it not better to deploy all necessary resources to stop the loss of lives, rather than deny what is happening?
Is it not more profitable to protect lives than to prepare for elections over victims of preventable tragedy?
What nation truly progresses in a climate of constant crisis and insecurity?
When will we be tired of being a reproach among nations?
When will leadership be tired of Nigeria making negative headlines globally?
When will human life regain its value in this country?
When will senseless perpetrators be swiftly apprehended and brought to justice?
Enough is enough.
Lives must be protected.
Justice must be served.
Our prediction today will be different. Due to the fact that nobody won last week, I want to make it easier.
Winner gets £15.
You have to predict at least one goalscorer in each of these games. Just one goalscorer each.
Chelsea v PSG
Man City v Real Madrid
Arsenal v Leverkusen
As usual, If you win, and you don't want the money, you can ask me to give someone else that you choose.
Let’s just have fun.
It’s not worth cheating, no usage of burner accounts or multiple predictions please, not worth it.

THE NEPHILIM AMONG US – Men of Renown, Shapeshifters, and the Hidden Seed of the Watchers in the Last Days
. The Giants Who Didn’t Go Away
There is a strange blindness over the modern world, a kind of spiritual cataract that keeps people from seeing what is right in front of their faces. When most people hear the word “Nephilim,” they picture something ten feet tall with a club in its hand. They imagine Goliath and the Anakim and the Rephaim, and they assume that if the Nephilim were alive today, we’d see them on the NBA court or stepping over rooftops. What they fail to grasp is that the Bible never restricted the Nephilim to height alone. The word itself is tied to the idea of fallen ones, those descended from fallen angels, and in Genesis the Holy Ghost says “There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that” (Genesis 6:4). The phrase “men of renown” means exactly what it says. Famous men. Celebrated men. Men put on pedestals. Men in the spotlight. Men the world cannot stop talking about. If the devil has a seed—and Jesus said he does when He called the Pharisees “a generation of vipers” (Matthew 23:33)—then that seed is not hiding in caves. They are front and center, running the show.
The world doesn’t want a ten-foot giant today. The world wants a celebrity. It wants a superstar, a political darling, a media-crafted “icon.” The hunger for fame has replaced the hunger for God, and the devil knew exactly what he was doing when he shifted his Nephilim strategy. The old giants were easy to spot. The new ones blend in. And that’s how Satan likes it. Subtle. Smooth. Camouflaged. “For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14). If Satan can transform, don’t you think his seed can? If his ministers can transform themselves into apostles, teachers, prophets, and culture-shapers, then why should any believer be shocked that some of the biggest names on earth may not even be fully human?
2. The Shapeshifter Strategy of the Last Days
The Bible paints the devil as a deceiver long before it calls him a destroyer. He works first through counterfeit, camouflage, and false appearance. Eve wasn’t approached by a monster. She was approached by something subtle. “The serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field” (Genesis 3:1). Subtlety is Satan’s first weapon, and transformation is his second. Modern Christians live in a world where Hollywood, social media, and digital entertainment are the front lines of spiritual war, yet they still think spiritual warfare looks like a horned red creature with a pitchfork. They have no idea how advanced the enemy’s tactics have become. Satan’s ministers can transform, his seed can transform, and the Nephilim—who were the offspring of angels—could certainly transform.
This is where the entire topic of celebrity doppelgängers enters the picture. For years, people have quietly whispered about Hollywood recycling faces, but in the last decade those whispers have become unavoidable. People are noticing the strange, uncanny way certain celebrities resemble historical figures—not just vaguely, but precisely. Identical bone structure. Identical eye spacing. Identical jawlines. The “Fittest Flat Earther” account has been showing overlays that match perfectly, and after you see a hundred of them, you realize coincidence has left the room. Either the gene pool is repeating like a photocopy, or something supernatural is at play. And considering that the Bible says the last days will be “as the days of Noe” (Matthew 24:37), the second option fits far more comfortably with Scripture than the first.
The old giants relied on physical strength. The new giants rely on influence. The old watchers rebelled openly. The new ones rebel subtly. Satan got destroyed by Joshua, Caleb, and David in the open battlefield, so he moved the war underground. The enemy adapted. If the Nephilim bloodline is still active—and the Bible says the seed of the serpent
My younger sister, Ifeoma Oriaku, @blaireoriaku, graduated this year as a Medical Laboratory Scientist. She was inducted into the Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria (AMLSN) on 10th of July 2025.
She didn’t just graduate; she excelled. Best graduating student from the Department of Medical Microbiology under the faculty of Medical Laboratory Science with a CGPA of 4.49/5.0.
She did everything right.
After induction, the next step for every Medical Laboratory Scientist is straightforward on paper:
Apply for an internship. Write the exams. Get posted. Begin your career.
But in reality? The system is something else entirely.
She applied to several centres: FMC Umuahia, FMC Owerri, UPTH, ESUTH, and others. She wrote the exams. She passed.
Then came the part nobody writes in the brochures:
Applicants, fresh graduates, and children of everyday Nigerians are told point-blank that to secure an internship slot, they must pay. Not small money. Not “facilitation”.
But ₦450,000 and above.
At these facilities, the medical directors openly confirmed it to candidates. No disguise. No shame. This isn’t an isolated case; it’s an open secret across many public health institutions.
Imagine working hard for 5 years…
Imagine being the best in your class…
Imagine serving your country and people through science and healthcare; only to be told your future depends on whether you can pay nearly half a million naira for the privilege of working and contributing to society.
This is not just unfair.
This is not just corruption.
This is a structural punishment for brilliance, honesty, and merit.
And it is happening to too many young Nigerians trying to enter the health system.
Today, I’m putting this out because I want to help my sister find a pathway that doesn’t force her to compromise everything she stands for and everything she has worked for.
If you know any facility accepting Medical Laboratory Scientist interns without this kind of financial gatekeeping, kindly reach out to me or my sister. I will also be tagging her here so you can contact her directly as well - @blaireoriaku
She has the competence, grades, and dedication ; all she needs is a fair opportunity to serve.
Please help us amplify this.
Please repost. Tag health professionals. Tag influencers. Tag people who can help.
Sometimes, a single share lands in the right timeline and changes everything.
Nigeria is full of brilliant young people who want to build, serve, and contribute to society, but the system can suffocate their light before it even rises.
Let’s help one light rise today. 🙏🙏
