Christian concerts should not be free, they should be funded. There’s an important distinction here.
“Free” means no one pays. But venues, engineers, and travel all cost money. Calling a concert free does not abolish those costs, it just obscures who absorbs them. Someone always pays. The question is who, and on what basis.
The intent behind your tweet is fair, no one who wants to encounter God through music should be turned away because they cannot afford a ticket. But if all concerts carry costs, and they must be accessible, the logical corollary is that Christians carry a collective duty to fund them. The argument for free concerts is actually an argument for a body of believers who take accessibility seriously enough to pay for it.
A Christian surgeon charges for surgery. A Christian restaurant owner charges for a meal. Both offer what they do to the glory of God, even though what changes hands is a healed body or a plate of food. The faith behind the work does not make the labor free. We do not expect that of any other Christian professional. We shouldn't single out the gospel artist and demand a different economic logic simply because what they produce is explicitly spiritual. Their work is an act of worship, but it is still work.
They can co-exist and they do.
What you don’t understand is that without the fear of God, critical thinking loses its balance and will just be a tool of oppression, not elevation. The fear of God is THE moral compass. It’s how we weigh what is right and wrong.. The fear of God is expressed as love for God and for humanity.
Love for humanity inspired the abolishment of slavery, and many other creative innovations.
I end by saying it is false intellectualism to pit critical thinking against the fear of God. They are NOT mutually exclusive.
Nigerian history deserves more than scattered Wikipedia pages. For @1000reasons9ja, I created 1800+ dated moments of Nigerian history. You can now trace Nigeria from the 1300s to 2026.
I also added 200 more reasons against T-Pain’s administration.

It’s Children’s Day. Around the world, children are with food, with friends, with families. In Nigeria, under Tinubu, a child is more likely hungry, out of school, or kidnapped for ransom.
I created 6 chapters focused on this. Please read and share.

A WARNING TO THE PRESIDENT @officialABAT , GOVERNMENT @NigeriaGov , @nassnigeria@NGRSenate@HouseNGR Governors’ Forum @NGFSecretariat and State Houses of Assembly AND THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL CLASS OF NIGERIA AT LARGE:
DO NOT DARE WISH OUR CHILDREN “HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY” TODAY .
To the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Vice President, the Governors of the 36 States, the Federal Executive Council, the Members of the National Assembly, the State Houses of Assembly, and the entire political class that has captured and destroyed the Nigeria State:
Do not dare.
Do not dare open your mouths on May 27 to wish Nigerian children a “Happy Children’s Day.” Do not dare release the recycled, ghost-written platitudes your media handlers have already drafted. Do not dare stand in front of cameras, surrounded by carefully arranged children in matching uniforms, to perform a tenderness you have never extended to the millions of Nigerian children you have abandoned, betrayed, and condemned to lives of suffering.
You have no moral standing to wish anything to Nigerian children. None.
Consider what you are dishonorably wishing them.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 39 students and 7 teachers seized only days ago, on 15 May 2026, from a secondary school and two primary schools in Ahoro Esinele community in Oriire district of Oyo State- children aged between two and sixteen , snatched from the southwest in a chilling expansion of a terror that you swore would be confined to the north.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 25 schoolgirls of the Government Girls Comprehensive Secondary School in Maga, Wasagu/Danko, Kebbi State, taken from their hostel at dawn on 18 November 2025, after gunmen killed the vice principal and most of whom are still missing as I write.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 303 students and 12 teachers of St. Mary’s Catholic Primary and Secondary School in Papiri, Niger State, seized on 21 November 2025 - children aged 10 to 18, boys and girls- whose abduction forced more than 20,000 Nigerian schools to close indefinitely .
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 287 students of the Government Secondary School in Kuriga, Kaduna State, taken by gunmen on motorcycles on 7 March 2024 in broad daylight while you and your political colleagues posed for swearing-in photographs.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 15 children of Gidan Bakuso, Sokoto State, seized from their boarding school on 9 March 2024 as they slept.
You are wishing to the Chibok girls- over 90 of whom are still missing, twelve years after April 14, 2014, while you have moved on, and for your repugnant luxury, speedily rebuilt and redecorated Aso Villa, bought opulent hideous cars, and rotated power among yourselves as if those girls never existed. But their parents who gave birth to them continue to grieve and daily rain curses on the evil leaders that have shown no empathy towards them and their abducted daughters.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the children of Dapchi, Kankara, Kagara, Jangebe, Afaka, Greenfield, Bethel Baptist, Tegina - and to the many whose abductions never made the headlines because Nigeria had run out of capacity to grieve.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the at least 1,799 students seized in a dozen of the largest abductions since Chibok , and to the 670 children affected by at least 10 school kidnappings in less than two years - a litany of horror compiled not by your security agencies, but by international human rights organisations doing the work your government refuses to do.

A WARNING TO THE PRESIDENT @officialABAT , GOVERNMENT @NigeriaGov , @nassnigeria@NGRSenate@HouseNGR Governors’ Forum @NGFSecretariat and State Houses of Assembly AND THE NIGERIAN POLITICAL CLASS OF NIGERIA AT LARGE:
DO NOT DARE WISH OUR CHILDREN “HAPPY CHILDREN’S DAY” TODAY .
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the around 19 million Nigerian children - 27 percent- who do not attend school due to the threat of kidnappings, poverty and cultural factors, one of the highest numbers in the world .
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 70 percent of Nigerian children aged 10 who cannot read a simple sentence - the foundational learning crisis that your governments at every level have refused to treat as the emergency it is.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the children buried under the rubble of Jos, Plateau, Benue, Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina, Borno, Yobe, and now Oyo - slaughtered in their sleep, in their schools, in their churches, in their mosques, in their farms - while your security architecture protects your convoys as you shamelessly drive around politicking in the land your selfishness has turned into a desolate territory.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the children of Makoko, whose homes you demolished, whose schools you erased, whose futures you bulldozed in the name of “urban renewal” that is nothing but state-sanctioned cruelty against the poor.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to the 35 million people the UN World Food Programme estimates could go hungry in Nigeria in 2026 , among whom are millions of children whose stunted bodies and diminished brains are the direct ledger of your governance failure.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to children dying from preventable diseases in primary healthcare centres you have refused to equip, to children walking past abandoned school buildings to hawk sachet water in traffic, to the almajiri children you have used as political props for decades and then discarded, to the girl children married off before puberty in states whose laws you refuse to harmonise with the Child Rights Act.
You are wishing “Happy Children’s Day” to children whose parents cannot afford the food, the school fees, the medicines, the transport, or the safety that your governance failures have placed beyond their reach - even as you award yourselves allowances, SUVs, foreign medical trips, and pensions for life.
This is the reality. And the reality is not a “Happy Children’s Day.”
The reality is a National Day of Shame.
So I issue this warning, on behalf of every Nigerian parent, grandparent, teacher, and citizen who refuses to be insulted again:
Spare us your hypocritical statements wishing distressed children a “Happy Children’s Day”. Spare us your photo opportunities and deceitful performances. Spare us your empty words that carry zero weight for the safety of our children.

There is also a conversation we need to have with Christian men.
Because some of you speak about women with an underhanded disdain that is deeply un-Christlike, then hide behind “biblical order” to justify it.
You cannot simply look at every Christian woman who resonates with feminism and dismiss her as rebellious. History has shown women have had reasons to fight. The Church is not entirely innocent in the abuse and silencing of women. We have sometimes weaponized Scripture instead of rightly dividing it.
Some women did not become angry because they hate God. They became angry because people used God against them.
There are women who have been talked down to, ignored, diminished, spiritually manipulated, and emotionally controlled in church spaces while men quoted “submission” at them like a threat.
And when women begin to push back against that, you cannot automatically label them rebellious without enough humility to ask:
“What exactly are they reacting to?”
Because even in Scripture, God did not condemn women who challenged systems.
The daughters of Zelophehad fought.
They contended.
They challenged a structure that disadvantaged them.
And God said:
“The daughters of Zelophehad speak right.” (Numbers 27:7)
Not rebellious.
Not dishonorable.
Not with the spirit of Jezebel…
Right.
Some of you need to realize that being male does not automatically make your interpretation superior.
Statements like:
“Woman was created later, therefore she is lesser,”
“Eve was deceived, therefore women are inferior,”
“Men are naturally superior because Adam came first,”
do not make you sound spiritually mature. They make you sound biblically unintelligent.
Genesis 1 says:
“Male and female created he them.”
God did not create woman as an afterthought. He had both genders in mind from the beginning.
And Genesis 2 is not about superiority.
It is about order.
Order does not mean value.
Christ and the Church have order.
The Father and the Son have order.
Order is not inferiority.
In fact, biblical leadership is not domination.
Christ never used His position to belittle the Church, He died for her.
So how did some Christian men become more arrogant than Christ?
You brandish submission like a weapon.
You speak about masculinity like it is superiority.
You talk about women as though leadership means lordship.
News flash, you are not a biblical male. You are carnally minded and we all know what that means.
To lead in our Kingdom is to serve. Where is your service?!
And if creation order is your argument for superiority, then goats should be greater than men because animals were created before Adam.
The logic collapses immediately.
The truth is many women are angry because they encountered distortion disguised as doctrine.
Male ego preached as theology.
Misogyny defended with proof texts.
And instead of constantly rushing to call women rebellious, maybe Christian men need enough self-awareness to ask:
“Have we represented Christ properly?”
Because many women are not rejecting Christ.
They are reacting to men who looked nothing like Him.
Love and Light… with a sprinkle of Holy Ghost Fire.

I hate how SM has made us devolve as a society. For them to even come for comedians, that's how you know it's bad. Not to talk of others. We are losing some of the vital parts of humanity. A huge part of socialising is banter, jabs, and jokes. Now people have to plan every single thing they say so that it doesn't get misconstrued. It's crazy and I don't think we understand the enormity of what's going on. Before you even greet someone now, you have to start thinking. You can't even say "you don chop up". You can't genuinely ask about wife and kids. Cos the "what ifs" will start. I can't even thank God I survived a fatal accident or escaped a plane crash anymore. People don't understand nuances anymore. People don't even take into consideration that a cut-out speech was said to a set of people, in a particular context that understand the speech. People now don't understand that when speaking extemporeneously, there is an acceptable margin for error. I don't want to live a life where my sense of humour is stifled. Where I have to be extra careful with speech, not even for who the speech is directed at, but for others that have no idea who I am or how I speak. Might just be part of the reasons we are getting more depressed. Every day, the things we are allowed to say keep reducing. Wheew. And I know why this is happening sha. But I can't say it so I don't get misconstrued 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
