Recently, a young man who loves to pray and burns for God fell into premarital sin with another sister in the same fellowship. It was his first time with her and resulted in pregnancy.
Afraid, he reported the matter to his pastor. After condemning the act, the pastor mildly condemned the boy, said he would relieve him of his duties, and planned to bring him and the girl to the pulpit before the congregation to expose their sins. More afraid, the boy went to a pastor who is my spiritual son; that pastor told him to call me for counsel.
The boy called and said, “I would like to see you for counseling, Apostle.” I scheduled a meeting and he narrated the whole thing. I immediately asked:
1. Did you love the sister genuinely? Yes.
2. Who else apart from the sister is a victim of your manpower? None.
3. Did either of you opt for an abortion? No.
4. Have you reported the matter to the sister’s family? Yes.
5. Are you and the lady both working? Yes.
After his responses, I shook his hand and said, “Congratulations in advance.” I added, “I do not condemn you, brother; I am not better than you. Go with your wife to her parents and settle them.”
He felt a weight lifted off his shoulders, then asked, “Sir, what about my church and my pastor who wants to call us to the pulpit before the congregation? That will be too much for me.” I told him that is his pastor’s problem; I have no business with the nonsense drama he’s adding. Pastors have exalted religious traditions over the character of Christ.
I studied how Jesus related to sinners and discovered He had a problem with their sins but not with them. Pastors these days have problems with both the sinner and the sins, and I don’t play along with that.
Nigerian Christian widow never got to bury her husband’s head. It was taken after he was beheaded. He was one of 16 husbands and fathers who were surrounded in their farms on that afternoon and executed one after another by armed Fulani jihadists. Seven of them were laid to rest without their heads. The church service was meant to honor them solemnly, but it brought back painful memories.
About 47 women that went to farm to harvest their crops were abducted by terr0rists yesterday in Niger state.
They don’t want our people to go to farm again.
How would people survive? Things are no longer affordable yet people can’t go to farm. What kind of life are we living in Nigeria?
The world has a very specific kind of dead body it knows how to mourn. These are not it.
A Christian community in North Africa is putting its people into the ground after another Islamist massacre, and most of the West will never learn their names.
There will be no campus encampment, no urgent panel, no celebrity caption. The same institutions that can produce a slogan in an hour when the victims fit the script go quiet when the killers are men who actually say they are doing it for their “god”.
This is not a tragedy that fell out of the sky. It is a method.
Churches, villages, families, then a trench, then a burial, then silence until the next one. If your moral system only activates when Israel is in the frame, it is not a moral system. It is a filter.
Watch it. Then ask why this footage never travels.
A drunk cop opened fire at a checkpoint in 2011.
The bullet ripped through my car. Then through my right hand.
That night ended my career as an animator. It cracked my marriage. It left a wound in my mind that still hasn’t closed.
The twist? I sued the Nigeria Police. I won in 2015. The judge ordered them to pay my medical bills.
Ten years later: zero naira.
I live with permanent disability. No help. No justice. Yet, they are shouting “No To Impunity”

Algeria: Police raid worship service, arrest all 12 Christians there for not having proper authorization for worship
Apparently even just conducting a Christian worship service can “shake the faith of a Muslim,” which is a criminal offense in Algeria. And so the guardians of this most fragile of all faiths have to conduct raids of this kind.

Evangelist Abubakar is a Fulani himself encountered Christ and is now doing a great work taking the gospel back to His people the Fulanis. God is using them mightily in northern Nigeria.
Do you know the most annoying and scary thing about this Senator Buba issue?
The boy who exposed him, Hassan, may have just risked his life for nothing. No one is going to do shit about it. We’re coward, useless, & stupid, at the same time.
We failed Hassan and Nigeria!
Uber gone, Etisalat gone, ShopRite gone, GSK gone, P&G gone, Sanofi gone, Kimberly Clark gone, Equinol gone, Pick n Pay gone, Adama Beverages gone, Rico Gado gone, etc.
These are all signs that the reforms are working and the economy is booming.
🚨 BREAKING: During the JESUS MUST BE SEEN MOVEMENT, a man everyone had known as “mad” for 11 years, encountered Jesus, and today, he is speaking, answering questions, and calling the name of JESUS!!!
Nurse Justina Obi Ejelonu.
12 years ago today, Nurse Justina Ejelonu died on the frontline caring for a man with the Ebola virus. Since her death, history has not been kind to her.
No immortalization!
Let's Retweet to celebrate a fallen hero. 🕊️
@aproko_doctor HMO helped me in 2021 when I had an emergency CS. We only paid about #8k in total and it was a private hospital. The #8k was for some drugs and sutures that were not covered by my HMO which is still fair
Islamic terrorists in NIgeria just kidnapped the wife of Pastor Moses Guguma - and their three young children.
You won't hear about any of this from mainstream media because the widespread persecution and slaughter of Christians by Islamists is a subject they will not touch.
