“Here we go again” and yet you couldn’t get through one paragraph without misrepresenting what Mount Zion actually does. Let me help.
MZ doesn’t demonize Yoruba culture. It celebrates it; the colors, the language, the proverbs, the royalty. Eg. Abejoye became a born-again Christian while still speaking deep Yoruba, bowing before his king, and dropping proverbs that’ll make your grandfather nod. Nobody took his culture. The Gospel just took the throne in his heart.
You framed this as “Yoruba spirituality vs foreign religion.” We never did. We frame it as Light vs Darkness and Darkness has no nationality. We’ve called it out in boardrooms, cities, and yes, in the villages. Location doesn’t exempt it.
“Profiting from portrayals” MZ has 200+ films. Less than 30% are traditional settings. Your entire argument is built on a minority of the catalog, filtered through a lens of cultural grievance. That’s not analysis, that’s a feeling dressed up as a fact.
People are asking questions? Good. Watch the films. The full ones. From start to finish.
AGBARA NLA drops OCT 1. 🔥 The name of Jesus is still above every other name, in 1993 and in 2026.
Whether you're reading the parable of the lost sheep or of the prodigal son, the Lord is showing us the precious sanctity of the one. Each one is a member in particular, loved with complete and unique intent, and imbued with very unique graces tailored for our specific journeys. When HE left the 99, HE was signaling to both the lost sheep and the 99 just how far HE would go for every single one of them. HE is "the One Who never leaves the one behind."
These Police Officers just parked me at Bolade, Oshodi, pointed guns at me, and forced me to transfer N100,000 them. When my bank app showed "exceeded transfer limit", they dragged me to a nearby POS to do it with my card.
They initially demanded 150k each.
They were 4 in number.
These are the names I could copy:
Francis Adekunle

Friday Ikpe

Okay
This is the phone number of the notorious Officer Friday Ikpe 09136237110. I got it from his opay

Please my mutuals, if you see this on your TL, help repost or tag other relevant authorities until these criminals are apprehended.
Q: Why is it so easy to criticise and have a plan till you get into government? 🤔
A: Because outside govt, you see the problem in straight lines. Inside government, you meet the maze.
From outside, failure often looks like a lack of will, competence, courage, or integrity. Sometimes it is. But inside government, plans meet weak institutions, inherited liabilities, vested interests, procurement rules, courts, legislators, budget limits, security realities, civil service inertia, and the politics of timing.
Culture happens, stories begin and self-preservation agendas find life.
The easiest sentence in public life is: “They should just fix it.” The harder truth is that the state is not one person with one button. It is a network of laws, interests, fears, incentives, sabotage, capacity gaps, and consequences.
Still, complexity is not an excuse for failure. Government exists to organise complexity into results. The real test of leadership is whether a plan survives contact with reality, adapts without losing its moral centre, and delivers relief citizens can feel.
So, I have learnt to appreciate progress, momentum and incremental gains..... not the eldorado version.
Yet, criticism keeps power honest, but getting results for desired governance requires more than criticism. It requires getting involved, sequencing, coalition-building, courage, competence, communication, and the humility to accept that the problem was deeper than the slogan.
The code is to win by knowing when to lose, win or compromise.
On a scale we can all relate wirh, we should for example know that the wedding, of which we priotise expenses with, is just an event, while the marriage remains the institution of priority. Even within this family arrangement, optimising value reflects similar challenges.😔 You can read this in a way you get the message.
Be ye circumspect.....
The return of democracy in 1999 altered a critical pillar of political administration in Lagos State. Orchestrated by short-sighted politicians who took advantage of the system for immediate gain, that disruption has now backfired, splashing embarrassment right back on their faces.
Historically, Lagos politics revolved around its 5 core administrative divisions: Ikeja, Badagry, Ikorodu, Lagos (Eko), and Epe—popularly known as IBILE.
When the Second Republic ended, Lateef Jakande of the Eko division had already served his time. Therefore, when democracy briefly returned in 1991, the general consensus across the state was clear: power must rotate to the Epe division. That was the unwritten law of the land. It is precisely why the frontrunners of both major parties—the SDP and the NRC—were all Epe indigenes. Dapo Sarumi, Femi Agbalajobi, Yomi Edu, and eventual winner Sir Michael Otedola all hailed from Epe.
Whichever way the pendulum swung back then, a true son of the soil from the Epe division was poised to emerge as Governor.
But that era was aborted. When democracy finally returned in 1999, the new crop of politicians abandoned the sacred IBILE arrangement. They began singing a different tune, hides behind words like "cosmopolitan," "melting pot," and "megacity." They erased the rotational respect meant for indigenous divisions, and outsiders watched closely, taking notes.
Fast forward to 2026, and the chicken has come home to roost. Today, the narrative has shifted so completely that everyone is now boldly declaring that anyone from anywhere can become the Governor of Lagos State.
Meanwhile, just 45 minutes away in Ogun State, no outsider would dare say that. An hour away in Oyo State, such a conversation would never happen. Those states protected their internal political structures; Lagos politicians threw theirs away.
By dismantling the structural divisions that held the identity of Lagos together, these politicians brought this embarrassment upon the state. One can only pray they have learned their lesson, face the reality of what they caused, and do the heavy lifting to correct it themselves.
Oye ki oju ti gbogboyin for the shame. SMH
I’m not the only one who witnessed that massive giveaway Bandits hosted on TikTok. The desperation from Nigerians especially the girls, was honestly shocking.
Account numbers (mostly OPay and MoniePoint) were flying across the screen non-stop during his live stream between 12:00 AM and 1:00 AM two nights ago.
The Fulani host ended up dishing out over ₦50 million, and the way people were shamelessly begging their so-called oppressors for money left me speechless.
Thousands were tuned in, glued to the live.
How did we, as a country, sink to this level? It’s genuinely heartbreaking.💔
You cannot spend years breaking a child's spirit and then expect a few words in adulthood to repair what took years to destroy. You cannot teach a child to fear your footsteps, your voice, your moods, and your anger, then expect them to see you as a source of comfort later in life.
