@jon_d_doe The last act of kindness he will do for his friend is to quit the job, leave the city and confess everything with evidence because that girl can kill. He should save his friend from her. He shouldnt wait for the friend to return. The friendship is over btw him and his friend.
Everyone treats their Bible like a spiritual self-help guide, flipping to random pages for comfort.
I did that for years.
But what hit me hard last night will destroy your comfortable Christianity forever.
This book isn’t here to make you feel better.
I used to be a verse-cherry-picker.
Bad day? Flip to Jeremiah 29:11.
Worried? Matthew 6:26.
Broke? Philippians 4:19.
Treat the Bible like a spiritual vending machine—insert problem, get comfort verse.
But last night, reading Isaiah, something shattered my cozy theology.
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” - Isaiah 5:20
I realized: I wasn’t reading the Bible.
I was editing it.
Highlighting the parts that made me feel good.
Skipping the parts that made me squirm.
Here’s what wrecked me:
The Bible isn’t a manual for a better life.
It’s a wrecking ball for your comfortable one.
It’s not here to validate your choices.
It’s here to obliterate your excuses.
It’s not asking if you “get it.”
It’s asking if you’re ready to be UNDONE.
I know a pastor who spent 20 years preaching “your best life now” messages.
Comfortable congregation. Growing attendance. Fat offering plates.
Then he actually read the whole Bible
not just the highlight reel.
It destroyed his ministry. And saved his soul.
Jesus didn’t say “Follow me and life gets easier.”
He said “Take up your cross and follow me.”
He said “Narrow is the way.”
He said “In this world you will have trouble.”
The Gospel isn’t a life improvement plan
it’s a death certificate.
Want to know why so many Christians are weak, entitled, and ineffective?
Because they’ve turned the Word of God into self-help fluff.
The same book that toppled empires and transformed savages has been reduced to inspirational quotes for your coffee mug.
“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training.” - 2 Timothy 3:16
Notice what comes before “training”?
REBUKING. CORRECTING.
The Bible’s job isn’t to affirm you—it’s to TRANSFORM you.
I spent years avoiding Ecclesiastes because it was “too depressing.”
I skipped over Lamentations because it was “too negative.”
I rushed through Romans 1 because it made me “uncomfortable.”
Translation: I was scared of truth that required change.
The parts of Scripture that make you squirm are the parts you need most.
The verses that offend your sensibilities are the ones targeting your sin.
The passages that seem “too harsh” are the ones your flesh is fighting.
The chapters you skip are where your breakthrough lives.
Real talk: A comfortable Christian is a compromised Christian.
If your Bible reading never convicts you, you’re not reading—you’re browsing.
If Scripture never makes you uncomfortable, you’re not submitting
you’re selecting.
I remember the night I decided to read the Bible God’s way instead of mine.
Cover to cover. Every genealogy. Every judgment. Every hard saying.
It was brutal. It was beautiful. It broke me completely.
And for the first time in my life, I felt truly FREE.
The Bible isn’t asking for your opinion.
It’s not requesting your approval.
It’s not seeking your comfort level.
It’s COMMANDING your surrender.
The question isn’t “Do I like what this says?”
The question is “Will I submit to what this demands?”
Stop treating God’s Word like a buffet where you pick what you like and leave the rest.
Start treating it like MEDICINE
take the whole dose, even if it tastes bitter.
Especially if it tastes bitter.
Your challenge:
Read one chapter that makes you uncomfortable this week.
Don’t skip the hard parts.
Don’t spiritualize away the clear commands.
Let it wreck your theology if necessary.
Drop a ⚡ if you’re ready to let God’s Word do what it was designed to do:
TRANSFORM you.
Today, again, I came face to face with the deplorable state of Nigeria roads as my desire to join a great friend and brother, Gen Cecil Esekhaigbe, in Esan Central of Edo State, who was burying his mother was marred by bad roads.
I had set out at 8 am by road to Esanland to join him and bid his beloved mother, Mrs. Ebaidebheki Esakhaigbe, farewell, but little did I know that it would be a mission impossible.
Due to my previous experience with bad roads, while going to the place previously through Benin, I decided to avoid that route entirely and go through Agbor.
On getting to Agbor Junction, I turned toward the direction of my destination. However, I was shocked by the very bad shape of the road which was almost not passable by car. I persisted and continued on the journey for about 25 minutes into the road until it became completely blocked by a faulty trailer that had impeded movement, causing a great gridlock.
Then, I decided to take Ugoneki Road, which would have also led me to my destination. Again, getting to the road was another nightmare, making my journey impossible. The poor condition of many Nigerian roads breaks my heart.
Though it was impossible for me to physically attend, I remain in earnest prayers with my brother, Gen Cecil, for a successful event.
I use this opportunity to continue to plead with our political leaders, at all levels, to concentrate on maintaining, rehabilitating, and reconstructing our existing roads and other infrastructure rather than embarking on new projects that will never be completed.
I look forward to the day when Nigerians will be able to travel freely and safely on good and well-maintained roads in New Nigeria that is Possible. -PO
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.

Have you seen someone suddenly develop seemingly unexplained face swelling on their eyelid/lips?
This is medically called ANGIOEDEMA.
It is a potentially serious medical condition that left untreated or if it gets severe, it can kill.

Many Nigerians are not paying attention to what is happening in the international scene. Nigeria is a basket case, & many could care less about geopolitics & how it affects their lives.
People just want the common bread, fuel, shelter & data to join the banters, the bigotry & the tribalism Championship.
War could break out & many Nigerians will be caught moping while catching cruise.
Our world is fragmented. Since WWI & WWII, our world divided into Alliances & Pacts. No country is 100% neutral, not even Nigeria; as we saw in Niger Republic.
America is going hard for Israel. The question is, who will go hard for you? You think Nigeria is special? Think again!
UNRWA is The United Nations Agency in charge of relief efforts & humanitarian development of Palestinian refugees.
They are in charge of Palestinian IDPs displaced since the 1948 Palestine War & subsequent conflicts. You have more than 5.6 million Palestinians registered as refugees with UNRWA.
Now the U.S. State Department has temporary halted funding for UNRWA, after it emerged that at least 12 of its employees took part in the Hamas attacks that sparked the Gaza War on October 7.
Israel is now calling for UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres to reign.
Propaganda is deployed extensively in warfare. Israel & Palestine, including their Allies, have deployed propaganda handles here on Twitter. You consume everything, so it’s up to you to sift through the whole noise.
While Iran-backed Yemen Houthi militants will continue to attack ships & oil tankers crossing the Red Sea in the name of Allah, America & British Coalition will continue to launch missiles into Iraq & in Yemen in retaliation.
Houthi rebels hit oil tanker carrying Russian naphtha for the trading firm, Trafigura. Another Vitol-chartered tanker had to do a U-turn following an attack as well.
The price of oil will go up, & the price of petrol sold in Nigeria is likely to be affected as well.
The brawl between South Africa & Israel is one example so close to home. Israeli flag carrier “El Al” announced it will end all direct flights to South Africa from April.
Listen to me, Nigeria is no different from Palestine. Should tribal conflict or another Civil War break out in Nigeria, the West & The United Nations will go on with their Game of Thrones.
Nigeria will become the chess board or the table in a ping-pong match. The United Nations is Westeros, with nine Great Houses. Including of course: America, France, Britain, Russia & China.
People will be slaughtered in the most chaotic & brutal insane manner, while the world do nothing.
This is why I laugh at some of you who are bigots. Most of you have no idea. You will become soldiers on both sides. There’ll be severe casualties on both ends.
Many of you will perish, & when the fire die down, no one will remember what/who started it. The world will simply move on, as if nothing happened!
You think you are better than the Palestinian people? Think again!
Go on, go ahead, continue! Bola Tinubu & his Ronu Kitchen Cabinet will runaway to Guinea. Buhari will runaway to Niger as well. Go to MM international airport hangar & count the number of private jets.
Do you see your father’s name written on any of the jets? You their foot solder living in that squalor, & can barely feed, your name is Oyo. All the borders in Nigeria, both land & sea will be closed.
Those who are lucky to escape on time will become refugees in Niger, Togo, Benin Republic & Ghana.
Those of us in the diaspora can/will only donate our tweets & march to the UN building, & make some noise on your behalf. But noise is what it is, & nothing more!
Why did Paul Kagame abolish tribal identification in Rwanda? Go back & read up on the Rwandan Genocide.
The APC represent the many ways that nations can perish!
They carried on with their divisive politics of tribe & religion since 2014. They figured that a divided Nigeria is the only way they could rig themselves into office, & stay there.
Just because the West doesn’t care about election outcomes in Nigeria, doesn’t mean Nigerians can’t care about their country. It is our country and we will follow our constitution and seek amendments where necessary. We are not helpless, we just need to get rid of the mentality that makes us feel that if the West doesn’t save us, we are doomed.
No, we are not!
This is a clarion call on the Nigerian Judiciary to WAKE UP and be conscious of their place in history at this moment.
This is a make or mar moment for them. They can choose to allow history write their names in gold or forever be remembered as enablers of criminality
Is the constitution SACROSANCT or Not?
Is BAT above the law or Not?

I don't want a friendship where I have to constantly feed your ego just to make sure the relationship is intact.
The privilege of friendship is that we both have access to constructively criticize one another.
The aim is to "grow" not just to feel good.
Nigerian restaurants putting dry ice into drinks are gonna fuck around and accidentally kill somebody.
The worst part is chances are no one will know what exactly killed them. It’ll just be one of those “he slumped and died” stories.
