What Our Pervasive Insecurity Requires: A Holistic not Reactive Approach.

In a hasty effort to be perceived as attentive and courageous, it is reported that President Bola Tinubu has approved the recruitment of about 1000 forest guards for Oyo State. This is a further demonstration of poor leadership and attending to very serious governance and security issues with a reactive approach. It is the same reactive approach that led to the sudden removal of fuel subsidy and floating of the Naira that has caused irreparable damage to ordinary Nigerians and the economy.

While recruiting more security personnel for Oyo state and the country is important, it should be done in a more organised and well-thought-out manner. Presently, almost all the 36 states in Nigeria are experiencing different forms of insecurity, with Oyo, Plateau, Kwara, Kogi, Borno, Katsina, Anambra, Niger, Imo, and Sokoto being very alarming.

The question, such as the reactive approach of our President, is whether all the states will receive the same approval to recruit 1000 forest guards per state, that is 37, 000 forest guards for the 36 states and Abuja or is the recruitment approval based on the mood of the President? Moreover, with the approval for Oyo, what will happen to the Amotekun Corps that is trying its best to secure South-West Nigeria?. Will they be disbanded in Oyo state?

The pervasive insecurity we currently have is directly related to the failure of our ecosystem, particularly leadership. It is only failure in leadership that can lead to the death of over 10,000 innocent Nigerians since 2023, and Nigeria is ranked among the top-most terror-affected countries in the world.

Addressing our insecurity situation requires a holistic or what can be described as an ecosystem approach. With failure in leadership, there is failure in unifying our dear nation, failure in industrialisation, failure in harnessing our abundant resources in agriculture, minerals, tourism, water, sports and even oil and gas to effectively generate required revenue, growth and particularly jobs for our exponentially growing youth population.

A New and Productive Nigeria will be POssible, and we will be OK! -P0

@PrinceCokers You should be the one asking God to forgive you.

You are bearing false witness boldly against a man of God and you are telling him to ask for forgiveness from God as if you are also not culpable before God

There's still life outside politics ooo

Yes, we can honor fathers, yet not every structure they built should remain untouched.

[ToluwalogoAgboola @RevToluAgboola]

Wisdom is knowing what to preserve, what to rebuild, and what to abandon completely.

Not everything old is ancient truth. Some things are simply ancient error.

[Olusola @Solextwit]

@BrotherPossible The best a church should do is to guide the members by laying out the properties & principles that a prospective leader should live by

The people themselves should be allowed to make the final decision of who the cap fits

If they have been taught well, it wouldn't be difficult

Every generation must receive grace not only to preserve d altar, but also to remove whatever grieves d HOLY SPIRIT around it

For blessed is d generation that can honor without losing discernment & pursue reformation without becoming dishonorable toward d vessels GOD once used

[ToluwalogoAgboola @RevToluAgboola]

The Burden of Reformation,

There must be enough discernment within us to celebrate the dealings of GOD through the fathers while still confronting the patterns that later became a grief to HIS Spirit within the system.

Because every genuine move of GOD carries both divine deposits and human vulnerabilities.

The fathers were truly Genuine. They contended for dimensions. They preserved altars in seasons where compromise covered the territories like darkness.

Some prayed until mantles opened over regions. Some suffered reproach to keep certain truths alive in the earth. And dishonor must never be found in our mouths concerning such labors.

But hear this carefully:

Not everything that remained around the altar came from the breath of GOD.

Over time, mixtures enter. Systems begin to form around encounters. Methods slowly become traditions. And eventually, men can become more loyal to structures inherited than to the present burden of the Spirit.

This is how a generation can continue protecting what GOD Himself is trying to Kill.

So true Reformation is not rebellion against fathers, neither is it blind submission to systems.

It is possessing enough light to discern where the hand of GOD ended and where the fingerprints of men began to appear.

Because there are things the fathers built by revelation... and there are things they later sustained by sentiment, control, and tradition.

And every generation must receive grace not only to preserve the altar, but also to remove whatever continues to grieve the HOLY SPIRIT around it.

For blessed is the generation that can honor without losing discernment, and can pursue reformation without becoming dishonorable toward the vessels GOD once used.

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

When I was Muslim, I would argue & say we had the same prophets as Christians.

But this one broke me:

Surah 17:101: Allah gave Moses 9 clear signs.

I knew the list. The staff. The shining hand. The drought. The flood. The locusts. The lice. The frogs. The blood.

I held onto those 9 signs like proof I had the real story.

But bro, you know what shook me?

There’s a night missing.

After all nine signs, right before Israel walks out of Egypt, something happens that the Quran goes completely silent on.

A lamb is slaughtered.

Its blood painted on the doorposts.

And death passes over every house covered by that blood.

The Passover.

I grew up hearing the whole Exodus story. But nobody ever told me about the blood on the door.

Islam just skips it.

And here’s what wrecked me.

The Bible, the book I was taught was corrupted, mentions the Passover over 70 times.

Exodus. Leviticus. Numbers. Deuteronomy. The Psalms. The Prophets. The Gospels. Paul.

70 times.

So I had to ask myself the honest question:

If men corrupted this book, why would they obsess over the same story for 1500 years? Across dozens of authors who never met?

You don’t forge a document 70 times.

That’s just not corruption.

That to me is preservation.

And then I read the line that finished me off.

1 Corinthians 5:7.

“Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed.”

That’s when it hit me.

The whole story was never just about Moses.

It was always pointing to a King.

The final lamb. Whose blood, when applied to your life, makes death pass over you.

Forever.

The Quran gave me 9 signs but hid the one night that explains why any of them happened.

Because the moment a Muslim understands the Passover…

he’s one step away from the cross.

Dear Young Nigerians,

One lesson from the 2023 elections, particularly in Lagos, should never be forgotten.

In the period following the presidential election and leading up to the governorship election, we witnessed a troubling shift in public discourse. Conversations that should have focused on competence, governance, development, and the future of our nation were gradually diverted towards tribal sentiments, ethnic divisions, and unnecessary suspicion among citizens.

Many sincere and well-meaning Nigerians participated in these conversations without realising that they were being drawn into narratives carefully designed by others.

Throughout history, whenever politicians find it difficult to compete on ideas, performance, character, or vision, some resort to exploiting the fault lines of ethnicity, religion, and identity. Their calculation is simple: a divided people are easier to manipulate than a united people.

Today, I see similar efforts emerging again, sometimes in more subtle and sophisticated ways. Narratives are planted, amplified, and circulated, often by individuals who genuinely believe they are defending a worthy cause, without recognizing the broader agenda behind such campaigns.

Let me state clearly that Pastor Enoch Adeboye remains one of the foremost fathers of faith in our nation. For decades, he has consistently preached the virtues of peace, prayer, love, reconciliation, and national unity. Even when faced with provocation, his response has always reflected humility, restraint, wisdom, and grace.

At 84 years of age, it would be unfair for young and able-bodied Nigerians to transfer to him responsibilities that properly belong to them. The task of building a better Nigeria rests primarily on the shoulders of the younger generation. It is their duty to lead the conversations, champion the reforms, and drive the positive change our nation urgently requires.

We must be careful not to become instruments in the hands of those who secretly nurture division while publicly preaching unity. In most cases, their target is not the individual being attacked; instead, it is the person who is attacking. Their real objective is to weaken the bonds that hold us together as one people and one nation.

I therefore urge all young Nigerians: do not allow anyone to recruit you into hatred. Do not allow anyone to weaponise your ethnicity, your faith, or your admiration for respected leaders.

Question every narrative. Verify every claim. Follow the facts. Resist manipulation.

The Nigeria of our dreams can only be built by citizens who refuse to be divided, who choose unity over hatred, and who place our collective future above narrow interests.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[Ebele @SirEbele]

On the one hand, we have people who in order to establish that Jesus is God, want Him also, against all scriptural truth, to be the Father.

There is no need for that.

Scripture is clear: Jesus is the Son of God. He IS the Son of the Father.

2 John 1:3
Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, AND from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

And this has nothing at all, to do with the virgin birth.

On the other hand, we have people who in trying to establish that Jesus is not the Father, but the Son, also want so much to believe that He is not God, against all scriptures.

There is no need for that.

The Son of God is THE SAME God the Father is.

Hebrews 1:8
But UNTO THE SON he saith, Thy throne, O GOD, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

Here is God talking to God, and calling God, God! As it was in the beginning, it is now, and ever shall be. For He changes not!

There is one Being who is God, and He manifests Himself distinctly as Father, and as the Son, and as the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Part One

Understanding Public Frustration While Recognizing the Wrong Target: Pastor E.A. Adeboye Is Not Our Problem

Rooted in scriptural and spiritual wisdom, Pastor E.A. Adeboye- like a true bearer of the Cross of Christ - has often chosen dignified silence whenever attacked. Through the years, I learned from him to do the same.

But this moment demands a historical clarity that we must not miss. I must therefore write publicly to help bring us back to what truly matters and to the urgency of this moment.

In doing so, it is crucial to first acknowledge the broader context in which criticisms of public figures have erupted in our beleaguered country. Nigerians are exhausted. Decades of systemic corruption, insecurity, economic hardship, and unfulfilled promises have produced a deep well of frustration. That frustration has evolved into trenchant distrust - not only of politicians, but of institutions and influential individuals whom the people believe possess the moral authority to demand accountability from those in power.

Across Nigeria today, the cry is simple:

“Our religious leaders must rise and help rescue Nigeria from the grip of ineffectual, corrupt, and selfish politicians.”

This is the crux of the matter. Nothing else.

And this is how I want to see where Pastor Adeboye - a simple messenger of God - who has dedicated his life to both praying and speaking up for the good of Nigeria and Nigerians matters in ongoing conversations of this scary time.

Pastor Adeboye does not only pray about Nigeria’s governance. He speaks. He has always spoken when it matters. I know this personally, and evidence abounds. This piece will provide two of the most compelling examples.

We must avoid our national habit of “majoring in the minors” - the distractions that consume public energy while our country slides deeper into crisis. Over the decades, I have watched Nigerians repeatedly miss the mark of what matters most. I now understand this as a psychological coping mechanism that paradoxically rewards the failures of ineffectual governments, allowing Nigeria and her people to degrade year after year, decade after decade.

It allows political leaders to deflect responsibility while the people pummel a soft target. It perpetuates our national decline from one administration to the next. It is a self‑sabotaging pattern. We must break that pattern now and confront the terrifying reality of this moment.

Nigerians, our 2‑year‑old baby, Christianah Akanbi, is in the wilds and has been held captive for several days now.

This is our horrific reality.

Twelve years after the tragedy of the Chibok Secondary School girls’ abduction in Borno State, it is now our 2‑year‑old - a toddler who simply went to school - who has been abducted along with 49 others: his carers, older pupils, secondary school students, and seven teachers.

The reality is that our baby and the rest of our children, women, and men are being held captive by terrorists in Oyo State, South‑West Nigeria. Let that sink into our hearts.

The reality is that three different administrations since Chibok - and the Nigerian State itself - has still failed to protect our children and secure our country.

We must face the reality that one of the teachers of our 2‑year‑old baby was brutally beheaded in his presence. The terrorists recorded and released the video to taunt Nigerians, to show that they - not our government - hold the upper hand.

Our baby is still in the wild with terrorists. Let this image sink into our hearts.

Let the image of the wailing and terrified Principal, Rachael Alamu, in the video - guns pointed at her by captors who hide from view- sink into our hearts.

[Premium Times @PremiumTimesng]

Nineteen days.

That's how long dozens of children have remained in captivity while families wait, hope, and ask the same question every day.

Some are toddlers. Some left for school and never returned.

Every day in captivity is one day too many.

Where are they?

[Oby Ezekwesili @obyezeks]

Final Part

Understanding Public Frustration While Recognizing the Wrong Target: Pastor E.A. Adeboye Is Not Our Problem

No, Pastor Adeboye is not our problem. He speaks.

He spoke in the 1990s.
He spoke in the early 2000s.
He spoke in 2010.
He spoke in 2020.
He spoke in 2025.

He has spoken across administrations, regardless of who governed or governs as President. The real question is:

How many of us were listening?

Did I hear you ask, “What did he say, and when?”

I will share two of the most relevant examples- not only because they are factual, but because they embody the pathway forward for our beleaguered country, if we are finally ready to listen, act, and compel our government to lead the reforms Pastor Adeboye has long advocated.

1. November 2025 - A Direct Public Message to President Tinubu

Contrary to the misinformation circulating online, Pastor Adeboye’s strong message was delivered in November 2025, during the Holy Ghost Service- not this week.

He said:

“You can only advise the Commander‑in‑Chief; you cannot command him. But I’ve tried. God is my witness.”
“Tell our security chiefs to get rid of these terrorists within 90 days or resign.”
He added:
“They must eliminate the terrorists and their sponsors, no matter how influential.”

These are not the words of a passive observer.
These are the words of a citizen - an influential leader - demanding results, accountability, and consequences for failure.

This is the same Pastor Adeboye some are attacking today.

He issued one of the strongest public demands for accountability ever made by a Nigerian religious leader. But how many of us were listening? What did the President do with that message? And what did we do with it?

2. October 1, 2020 - A Public Call for Structural Reform

At a national governance forum co‑organised by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and the Nehemiah Leadership Institute to mark Nigeria’s 60th Independence Anniversary, Pastor Adeboye critiqued our dysfunctional governance structure:

“It is ridiculous that a traditional ruler must inform a local government chairman before he travels.”

He went further:

“We all know that we must restructure. It is either we restructure or we break. You don’t have to be a prophet to know that. Now, we don’t want to break up - God forbid.”

He proposed a “United States of Nigeria” - a governance model with a President and a Prime Minister, rooted in institutional effectiveness.

These are not the words of a man indifferent to Nigeria’s future.

Nigeria is structurally dysfunctional. As presently constituted, cycles of elections without correcting the underlying structure will only degrade - but God forbid- collapse this country.

Now that we know - from just two of his many significant public statements that Pastor Adeboye has long been speaking truth to power on the hydra-headed crises that cripple our nation‑building process, the real question becomes:

What are we all now going to do about it?

“Shall these bones live?”
Like Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones, we stand in a moment of national reckoning.
The bones can live - but only if we act.

It is time for Nigerians to let the image of our 2‑year‑old baby held captive by our common enemies galvanize us to collectively rescue that child and through her rescue our nation.

The answer, my compatriots, is in our own hands.

@oadefisayo @ManuelX9999 Sir Bunmi! This is an outrageous claim

I can't authenticate that it can't happen in maybe some special cases but this is in no way a reflection of how RCCG parishes are formed

It's public knowledge that it's by Evangelism & Church planting by other RCCG Churches

It is well

[Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo @ezekieldachomo0]

“I am among the three people they have marked for death in this country, they have publicly declared that anyone who kills any one of us will be rewarded, my name has become a target, my life has been priced by men who hate the truth, yet even with the threats, the fear, and the danger that follows me every day, I cannot abandon my people

Every morning I wake up knowing that there are those who wish I would not see another sunrise, every night I sleep not knowing what tomorrow may bring, but how can I remain silent when innocent people are crying, how can I turn my back when widows are mourning, children are becoming orphans, and families are being buried in sorrow

I have seen mothers weep over the lifeless bodies of their children, I have listened to little boys and girls ask questions that no child should ever have to ask, where is my father, why did they kill my mother, when is she coming back home, their tears have become my tears, their pain has become my burden

Many times people ask me if I am afraid, the truth is that I am human, I know what fear feels like, I know what it means to look over your shoulder, I know what it means to receive threats and know that people are waiting for an opportunity to silence you, but I also know that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind as written in 2 Timothy 1:7

When I remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, I find strength, Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven, Matthew 5:10, the path of truth has never been easy, the prophets suffered, the apostles suffered, even our Savior suffered, yet they stood firm because they knew that darkness can never overcome the light

There are days when the burden feels heavy, there are nights when the cries of suffering families echo in my heart, but then I remember Isaiah 41:10, Fear thou not, for I am with thee, be not dismayed, for I am thy God, I will strengthen thee, yea, I will help thee, those words remind me that I do not walk this road alone

If speaking for the voiceless makes me a target, then I will continue to speak, if standing with the oppressed puts my life at risk, then I will continue to stand, if defending my people means carrying a cross of persecution, then by God's grace I will carry it

For every child who has lost a parent, for every mother who sleeps with tears on her pillow, for every father who has been taken from his family, and for every believer suffering because of their faith, I will not stop standing with them, my life is in God's hands

As Psalm 27:1 declares, The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear, the Lord is the strength of my life, of whom shall I be afraid

They may threaten us, they may try to silence us, they may put a reward on our heads, but our hope is not in man, it is in God, and as long as He gives us breath, we will continue to stand with our people, speak the truth, comfort the brokenhearted, and shine His light in the midst of darkness
