For all those whose Mothers have gone to be with God. May the continue to rest in peace. And may their mothers continue to intercede for them in heaven.
Looking for what to give up this Lent?
Give up fear of failure, feelings of unworthiness, pleasing people, bitterness, anger, unforgiveness, harsh words, rash judgment, impatience, comparison, always complaining, fault-finding, speaking ill of others, gossiping, impurity, mediocrity, addictions, negativity, worry, ungratefulness, and finally, give up giving up so easily.
Your bank account is safe with or without narration.

The President of the United State of America literally said his administration would โpermanently pauseโ migration from all so-called โThird World countriesโ.
His subordinates and State Department bureaucrats are merely putting his words to action. Nations like Ghana and Uganda are getting a reprieve, because they agreed to some "status of forces agreement" with the US Military and/or have agreed to serve as a dumping ground for failed asylum seekers from the U.S.
Yes, the Nigerian Government is extremely incompetent, but US foreign policy in Africa is evolving in a direction that imposes heavy costs on African nations that deviate from Trump's narrow path. (If you doubt me, ask the South African Government about AGOA negotiations).
We need a grown-up discussion on the costs and benefits of maintaining a normal diplomatic relationship with Trump's America. E.g. is a status of forces agreement, agreeing to serve as a dumping ground for illegal immigrants from around the World, and/or what other one-sided condition Trump imposes on us - an acceptable price to pay to allow Nigerians to visit and study in the US?
