While at Rhemafeast, Pastor David Ogbueli shared something that really challenged me.
He said there is a difference between the Gospel of Salvation and Grace and the Gospel of the Kingdom.
For a long time, the Church has done a great job preaching salvation—calling people to repent, believe in Jesus, receive forgiveness and experience the grace of God.
And yes, we must preach salvation. It is foundational.
But the question is: What happens after someone gets saved?
Jesus did not only preach that people should be saved. He also preached, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 4:17)
The Gospel of salvation brings you into Christ.
The Gospel of the Kingdom teaches you how to live under the government, rule and authority of Christ.
Salvation answers:
“How do I become a child of God?”
The Kingdom asks:
“Now that I am a child of God, how should I live?”
And perhaps this is one of the challenges facing the Church today.
We have many people coming to Christ, but we haven't always built the structures and discipleship systems necessary to teach them what to do with their new life in Christ.
We celebrate decisions for Christ, but sometimes fail to disciple those who made the decision.
We bring people into the Church, but don't always teach them how to function in the Kingdom.
Jesus said:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations…” — Matthew 28:19
Not merely converts.
Disciples.
People who learn the Word.
People who obey God.
People who understand the ways of the Kingdom.
People who represent Christ in their families, workplaces, communities and nations.
The Church doesn't just need more people sitting in the pews.
We need disciples who understand the Kingdom and know how to live it.
Maybe the question we should be asking is not only:
“How many people have we brought to Christ?”
But also:
“How many people are we actually discipling?”
Salvation is not the destination.
It is the beginning of a Kingdom life.

🚨 NIGERIANS, THIS IS A MAJOR UPDATE ON THE TINUBU FBI CASE.
The FBI has now confirmed to the court that its search produced 399 pages of documents linked to President Bola Tinubu.
399 pages.
Let me tell you what the court filing says those pages contain.
According to the FBI’s own filings:
➡️ Heroin-residue laboratory testing
➡️ Controlled drug purchases involving a cooperating witness
➡️ Confidential informants
➡️ Federal grand jury activity
➡️ Prosecutorial reports and meetings
➡️ Surveillance
➡️ Undercover operations
➡️ Financial seizures
➡️ Bank account seizure warrants
➡️ IRS criminal investigation material
➡️ International investigative coordination
This is not simply a civil forfeiture case involving an old fine from the 1990s.
These are categories of records associated with a serious federal law-enforcement investigation.
Grand jury activity.
Undercover operations.
Cooperating witnesses.
Surveillance.
Financial seizures.
And the FBI says its search located 399 pages of responsive records.
Now go back to what Tinubu’s lawyers argued in the filing I showed you in the attached post of this series.
They argued that these records should remain private because they concern a “private individual.”
They argued that the Nigerian public’s interest in Tinubu’s background does not give us a legal right to these records under FOIA.
They also argued that his privacy interests should remain protected because the records relate to a period before he became a public official.
In other words, they are arguing that what he did before he became a politician should be permanently sealed.
Tinubu has not been convicted of drug trafficking. That remains true and must be stated.
But the question is no longer whether serious law-enforcement records concerning Tinubu exist.
The FBI has confirmed that responsive records exist - 399 pages of them.
The question now is:
What is in those 399 pages that he has spent two years and significant legal resources trying to keep Nigerians from seeing?
Because these are not 399 pages of somebody’s social media gossip.
They are FBI and other law-enforcement records.
And the categories identified by the FBI include some very serious investigative material.
Nigeria.
This is your President.
Read the documents yourself.
Ask questions.
Don’t let anybody tell you what to think.
Share this. Every Nigerian deserves the opportunity to see the documents and decide for themselves.
FELLOW NIGERIANS, LET’S ADDRESS THIS. 🚨
You may have seen this letter being shared by Tinubu’s supporters and associates.
It is dated February 4, 2003, and is purportedly from the US Embassy in Lagos, signed by Legal Attaché Michael H. Bonner.
The letter claims that an FBI/NCIC check found “negative” results for any criminal arrest records, wants or warrants for Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Before anyone presents this letter as the final answer to everything, there are two things we need to examine.
First: The letter itself raises questions.
I have read it carefully.
It contains several obvious errors that are difficult to explain in an official US government communication:
➡️ “record czheck” instead of “record check”
➡️ “maitatins” instead of “maintains”
➡️ “it’s territories” instead of “its territories”
➡️ “The result of the checks were negative”
➡️ “contact me direct” instead of “directly”
➡️ “nor information of your department” - an incomplete sentence
Now, I am NOT saying the letter is fake.
I am saying that these errors are unusual enough that the document should be independently verified before we accept it as genuine.
If it is genuine, fine.
If it is not, then someone has presented a fake US government document as evidence.
Either way, we need answers.
But here is where things get even more interesting.
Second - even if this letter is 100% genuine, it does NOT answer the bigger question.
Why?
Because the letter talks about arrest records, wants and warrants.
That is not the same thing as saying:
“The FBI has never investigated Bola Tinubu.”
Those are two very different things.
A person can be investigated without being arrested.
A person can be mentioned in an FBI investigation without having an arrest record.
An FBI file can exist without the person being convicted of anything.
And this is why the 399 pages matter.
The FBI has now told a US federal court that its search found 399 pages of records responsive to requests concerning Tinubu.
And according to the FBI’s court filings, those records include material relating to:
➡️ Heroin-residue laboratory testing
➡️ Controlled drug purchases
➡️ Cooperating witnesses
➡️ Confidential informants
➡️ Grand jury activity
➡️ Surveillance
➡️ Undercover operations
➡️ Financial seizures
➡️ Bank-account seizure warrants
➡️ IRS criminal investigation material
➡️ International investigative coordination
These are serious law-enforcement records.
So let’s be very clear about what we are dealing with.
On one side, we have a 2003 letter saying an FBI/NCIC check found no arrest records, wants or warrants.
On the other side, we now have the FBI telling a federal court that its search found 399 pages of records concerning Tinubu, including records connected to a serious drug investigation.
Those two things are not automatically contradictory.
But they both need to be explained.
And this is where I have a problem with the way this letter is being presented.
It is being circulated as though:
“The FBI checked Tinubu in 2003 and found nothing. Case closed.”
No.
That’s not what the letter establishes.
At most, if authentic, it establishes what that particular check found at that particular time.
It does not explain why the FBI now has 399 pages of investigative records connected to Tinubu.
It does not tell us what is in those 399 pages.
And it certainly does not make those 399 pages disappear.
Tinubu has not been convicted of drug trafficking.
That remains true.
But Nigerians also deserve to know what these FBI records contain.
So I’m asking for the same thing I’ve been asking from the beginning:
Show us the documents.
Verify the 2003 letter.
Release whatever the law allows to be released from the 399 pages.
Let Nigerians read them.
Let Nigerians decide what they mean.
Because we cannot have one document being waved around as proof that “there is nothing to see” while another set of FBI records sits behind years of litigation.
@officialABAT You're silent on debt burden, which has skyrocketed. What's the benefit of increased reserves when debt wipes it out clean?
All these numbers have no positive impact on the average Nigerian on the street, so it is clear that the Renewed Hope Agenda has failed Nigerians woefully!
PRESIDENT TINUBU GOES ON HOLIDAY AGAIN
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has once again left Nigeria for another holiday, this time beginning a three-week vacation in Europe.
Nigeria is in deep crisis. Nigerians can barely afford food and transportation. Insecurity is ravaging communities, and thousands of children are unable to access education because of insecurity.
Just days ago, about 600 Nigerians, predominantly women, children, and the elderly, were reportedly abducted during Juma’at prayers in Niger State.
Yet, at this critical moment, the President has left the country for another holiday.
According to reports, government expenditure on presidential trips and related travel expenses between June 2023 and April 2026 amounted to about ₦37.64 billion, with the President spending approximately 261 days outside Nigeria.
Meanwhile, only ₦36 million was reportedly released to the Federal Ministry of Health in 2025, despite a capital allocation of ₦218 billion, in a country of over 230 million people.
This is the calamity befalling our country today.
A government that can spend tens of billions on presidential travel while critical sectors remain starved of funds, and Nigerians are asked to endure worsening hardship, must not be allowed to continue.
Leadership is about priorities.
When citizens cannot feed their families, move safely, access healthcare, send their children to school, or sleep peacefully in their homes, the President should be more concerned about fixing the country than repeatedly leaving it.
I look forward to a Nigeria where our President can vacation in Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Cross River State, Bauchi, Ebonyi, and many other destinations across our country.
The President of Nigeria should be the chief marketer of Nigeria as a tourism destination, as other comparable countries do.
Imagine the economic possibilities if our leaders, celebrities, business communities, and citizens travelled within Nigeria more frequently.
Tourism creates jobs. It supports hospitality, transportation, agriculture, entertainment, crafts, and small businesses. It brings investment and foreign exchange and allows communities to benefit directly from their natural and cultural assets.
We cannot continue to export our wealth and import our pleasures while our own enormous potential remains neglected.
We deserve leadership that puts Nigeria first; leadership that cares and plans for a better Nigeria. That is the kind of leadership that the partnership between H.E. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and me will bring.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
A President and the Endless Question of His Past
As a citizen of no other country, who has never sought foreign citizenship even when doing so became fashionable, my loyalty to Nigeria and my faith in her destiny remain unshaken.
Yesterday, 30th of August, being Sunday, I fervently prayed for our nation and for those entrusted with the solemn responsibility of leadership. I found myself deeply saddened by the direction in which our country is heading.
It is profoundly embarrassing that we have reached a point where a sitting President is asking a foreign court to withhold records concerning his past, particularly records relating to matters of legitimate public interest.
Leadership, in my humble view, demands the courage and humility to confront one’s history — to acknowledge mistakes, provide candid explanations where questions arise, and, where necessary, apologise and seek forgiveness. True authority is strengthened, not diminished, when a leader accepts responsibility rather than seeks to shield uncomfortable aspects of the past from legitimate scrutiny.
This becomes particularly important when questions concern educational credentials. Issues surrounding foundational schooling — primary and secondary — should not remain unresolved or be addressed primarily through legal proceedings. Nigerians deserve clear, credible, and verifiable explanations, especially when such had been submitted in the past.
My deepest concern is the example this sets for more than 200 million Nigerians, particularly the over 30 million young people in schools. The nation’s highest office should exemplify integrity, accountability, transparency, and ethical leadership.
An imperfect past is part of the human condition. What matters is the willingness to confront it with humility, honesty and deep apology, to make amends where necessary and, when circumstances so demand, to place the interests of the nation above personal ambition.
When will our political class fully appreciate that individual ambitions are temporary, while the nation endures? The Presidency is an office held for a season; the moral standards established by those who occupy it can influence generations.
Nigeria is greater than any one person, and the integrity of the Republic must always come before the interests of the individual.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
One presidential candidate says:
“Dig into my past and if you find any criminality I will stop campaigning”
Another presidential candidate says:
“Pls don’t release my records it will do me severe and irreparable harm”.
Yet it is the man with the baggage that is President. Nigeria is a painful joke.
Apostle Joshua Selman give Nigeria presidential aspirant Mr.Peter Obi an opportunity to address the congregation during the service and listen to his Powerful speech .
There was a 5-day gridlock in Edo State because of bad road; you didn't feel ashamed.
Over 500 people were kidnapped in Niger State; you didn't feel ashamed.
Corpers were kidnapped; you didn't feel ashamed.
Fuel just increased to N1,310 per litre; you still didn't feel ashamed.
The president of the most populous black nation, Tinubu is begging FBI not to release his records; and you still didn't feel ashamed.
But you'll only remember shame when you see Peter Obi rolling with common Nigerians in the streets.
Well done, Minister of shame.
Celebrating My Eldest Brother at 75
Today, 30th August 2026, I celebrate my eldest brother, Dominic Ositadimma Obi, who turns 75. I celebrate him not merely because he is my elder brother or because of his age, but because he is an exemplary human being.
When I was Governor of Anambra State for eight years, he never came to my office or the Governor’s Lodge for a day seeking favours, as many might have expected. He is a planner and contractor who builds homes for people, yet not once did he ask me for a government contract.
Whenever we met, he would warmly embrace me and tell me that he was fine. He would then solemnly remind me to keep doing what I promised the people and never bring a bad name to the family and my community. He would tell me that whatever difficulties he was going through, many others were worse off, and that I should do my best for society.
I later came to understand that this was not peculiar to him alone. My family members had actually held a meeting and resolved that none of them would take advantage of my position as Governor. They decided that whatever good name I was building for the Obi family and Agulu must be protected. The same principle extended to my children.
Today, at 75, my beloved brother remains deeply concerned about Nigeria. Whenever we speak, he is full of prayers and good wishes. He constantly reminds me that if I have the opportunity to serve Nigeria, I should do so with honesty, integrity, and the interest of the people at heart.
Brother Dom, I thank God for the gift of your life and for the example you have set for our family. Your integrity, humility, contentment, and sense of responsibility are qualities worthy of celebration.
May God Almighty, who has graciously been with you all these years, grant you good health, His abundant grace, and blessings.
Happy 75th birthday, my dearest brother. -PO
NO WOMEN PASTORS?
THE BIBLICAL CASE FOR WOMEN PASTORS
1. GOD PLACED A WOMAN IN APOSTOLIC MINISTRY—AN OFFICE SCRIPTURE RANKS FIRST IN THE CHURCH.
Romans 16:7 (KJV)
“Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.”
1 Corinthians 12:28 (KJV)
“And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers…”
Ephesians 4:11 (KJV)
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers.”
The argument is devastatingly simple:
If a woman can occupy apostolic ministry, and God Himself places apostles first in the Church, you cannot construct a biblical rule saying that the same woman is inherently disqualified from pastoral ministry simply because she is a woman.
The burden is on the prohibitionist to explain how a woman may occupy apostolic ministry but is constitutionally incapable of pastoral ministry.
⸻
2. THE NEW TESTAMENT SHOWS A WOMAN TEACHING DOCTRINE TO A MALE MINISTER.
Acts 18:26 (KJV)
“Whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.”
And this wasn’t an ignorant man.
Apollos was:
Acts 18:24 (KJV)
“An eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures.”
Yet Priscilla participated in correcting his doctrine.
Therefore the sweeping proposition—
“A woman can never teach a man spiritual truth”
—is contradicted by the inspired historical record itself.
⸻
3. PRISCILLA WASN’T MERELY A WOMAN WHO TAUGHT ONCE—A CHURCH OPERATED IN HER HOUSE.
Romans 16:3–5 (KJV)
“Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus… Likewise greet the church that is in their house.”
Paul calls her his helper in Christ Jesus.
A church meets in their house.
She participates in doctrinal instruction.
This is unmistakably substantial New Testament ministry.
⸻
4. PAUL FORMALLY IDENTIFIES PHOEBE AS A MINISTER OF A SPECIFIC LOCAL CHURCH.
Romans 16:1 (KJV)
“I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea.”
The word is diakonos.
Paul uses the same word of himself:
Colossians 1:25 (KJV)
“Whereof I am made a minister…”
You cannot translate diakonos as meaningful ministry language when applied to Paul and then automatically drain it of ministerial significance when applied to Phoebe.
She is specifically identified with “the church which is at Cenchrea.”
⸻
5. WOMEN SPOKE SUPERNATURALLY TO THE ASSEMBLED CHURCH WITH GOD’S APPROVAL.
1 Corinthians 11:5 (KJV)
“But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth…”
What does prophecy do?
1 Corinthians 14:3 (KJV)
“But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.”
Those are pastoral activities.
Paul doesn’t tell women:
“You cannot prophesy.”
He regulates how they do it.
Therefore any interpretation of Paul’s later instruction about women remaining silent must harmonize with Paul’s explicit acknowledgment that women prayed and prophesied in the Church.
⸻
6. THE HOLY GHOST HIMSELF EMPOWERS WOMEN TO SPEAK FOR GOD.
Acts 2:17–18 (KJV)
“Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy… And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.”
This isn’t a concession to twenty-first-century culture.
This is Pentecost.
The distinguishing feature of the last-days outpouring is that God’s Spirit rests upon sons and daughters, servants and handmaidens, and they speak under divine empowerment.
⸻
7. PAUL EXPLICITLY CALLS WOMEN HIS FELLOW LABOURERS IN GOSPEL MINISTRY.
Philippians 4:3 (KJV)
“Help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers…”
Paul doesn’t describe them merely as women who attended his meetings.
They:
“LABOURED WITH ME IN THE GOSPEL.”
@Nitemi_IV You were billed for premarital counselling as a churchmember.? The same one I am doing for free.
Or you came for premarital counselling service as a regular customer? Sha be twisting things o...until e reach ya doormot, when you'll experience the impact of this kind of falsehood.
@_Biologist@realMaalouf And being a convert makes her eligible to be spat on, raped and deserving to be tortured...?
Wow!!!!
This is one of the many reasons why Islamophobia exists.
These videos summarize the Tinubu economy. They took the time to dissect everything.
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a very wicked man; "wicked" is even an understatement!
Since the debate on bringing back the fuel subsidy started, a lot has happened. His handlers now post ten times within 24 hours.
He has pandered to the Hausas, those he didn’t find worthy for juicy appointments. Now the governors have spoken. They said, “we are not responsible for the economic hardship.”
He quickly called APC governors to the Villa for an emergency meeting. Yesterday, his wife launched another audio $1 billion "Renewed Hopelessness" program. Meanwhile, they are still talking about CNG on paper after 3 years.
Something has shifted. Aso Rock is in panic mode. All their foot soldiers have been visiting media houses to try to persuade the public & calm angry nerves. They knew they could have done a lot to ease the suffering, but they are heartless. They have no humanity in them.
They removed the subsidy on fuel & electricity, yet subsidized their own lifestyles. Nigerians were left to suffer & gnash their teeth for 3 solid years. He borrowed recklessly & squandered it. Come 2027, we shall vote them out with anger
IN CASE YOU MISSED THIS:
“Have you asked the doctors and teachers why they were on strike?
After the teachers' strike, Anambra moved from No. 26 to No. 1.
After the doctors’ strike, we won the Bill Gates Prize for Health.
When you bring change, you make enemies: those who live by the old order.
If I become president tomorrow, some people will not be happy with it.
It’s not about happiness; it is about fixing the country.”~ HE Peter Obi
