Turn a new leaf-Nigerian Teachers to Pupils and Students
Pupils and students in Nigeria have been called upon to turn a new leaf as public primary and secondary schools resume for the second term in Nigeria. This call was made on Tuesday by the chairman of the Oyo state wing of the Nigeria Union of Teachers(NUT), Comrade Raji Oladimeji. ''When schools resume for a new term from time immemorial, the turn out of pupils and students has always been very low because they want to avoid menial tasks that herald the new term-cutting of overgrown weeds, general cleaning-toilets, staff room, desks and benches and so on. For some days, the turn-out is not always impressive, in the new term they should turn a new leaf.'' Comrade Oladimeji counseled. The NUT chairman maintained that the recruitment of suitable and qualified teachers in certain states was timely, adding, ''Now the distribution of newly recruited teachers has commenced.''
The Upright
Many Pharisees were good and upright people, who Jesus Christ counted among his friends. But it was those who misused religion who angered him so much, particularly when they excused unjust actions and unfair attitudes with pious platitudes. People might be scrupulous about small details of religious observance, giving to the temple a tenth of all their produce, even to the smallest herbs. But if they were unscrupulous in their treatment of others, Jesus condemned them in no uncertain terms. Which sins do religious people tend to condemn most readily today? How much prominence do we give to justice, humility, and reverence as the most important values? How often do we speak out against hypocrisy, greed and self-indulgence ?
Prosperity for selfish Interests
Presently, many parents are unable to take good care of their children in different parts of Nigeria. Prostitution,homosexuality, sodomy pedohphilia, cultism, ritual killngs child and women trafficking, hard drug usage are among the several social maladies plaguing society. Sadly, a number of those in religion have not helped matters by focusing mainly on prosperity for selfish interests. Anointing and blessings for questionable characters mouth-watering fees now dominate the space, just as doctrines are twisted to suit their diabolic design. Places of worship have now become destinations for all manners of people who ordinarily have no business there. Sadly, the compilicity of the 'revered' have only worsened the situation. The words of the holy book are now misinterpreted to suit satanic motives and agenda.
Backsliding
Once you become born again, avoid the temptations of backsliding. In the present world, temptations abound; everywhere you go, it is now left for you as a true believer to resist such temptations. Do not become an enemy of yourself; meditate on the word regularly when you notice you are treading the wrong path. Look up to God, and painstakingly avoid looking up to man. Resist any attempt to backslide by anyone; it could be your friends, your colleagues at your place of work, your relations, or anyone close to you. Be steadfast. Hosea 11:7
Time as Nemesis
It is disheartening to come to terms with the fact that intimidation, threats, attacks, and manipulation are now tools of governance at all levels of government. Very strange and laughable. Leadership has been redefined to include deceit, manipulation, and lies, among other things.
The Watch Man
You have to realize that the people you pay to keep watch over you and your property can only function to the maximum of their human ability. Their watchcare is not absolute, and therefore you must look to the greater Guardian, God, who is your keeper and your helper. If you are lying down in your home, you will sleep securely because the God who keeps you will not slumber, nor will He allow anyone to move your feet from their resting place. In these times, out of envy, jealousy, and hatred, men attempt to dig a pit under your feet in order to cause you to fall or in order to make you lose your position, your balance, your honor, or your office; but if you look up to God who dwells in heaven, if you trust in Him through Christ, no one will ever be able to move your feet away from security to destruction. He will keep you as the shepherd keeps his sheep so that you do not become the prey of wolves.

Oyo Government not taking our welfare seriously-Health Workers
Some health workers in Oyo state have expressed reservations over the continued delay of the state government to meet their demands. The health workers, who are members of the Nigeria Union of Allied Health Professionals(NUAHP), Hospital Management Board unit, lamented that the state government ''is not taking our welfare seriously.'' ''The state government has continued to treat health workers on its payroll with levity. We are not happy about this, the government should urgently address our demands, they stated. However, the chairman of the unit, Comrade Olanrewaju Ajani disclosed that of all the demands of the health workers, the state government had only reviewed the hazard allowance. ''Before the 21-day ultimatum we gave the state government on 4th March 2024 elapsed, the government appealed to us to be patient. We appeal to the state government to do something on time. We have provided enough evidence. It is only the hazard allowance that has bee...
We want a Living Wage-Federal workers
Federal workers in Nigeria have vowed to reject any amount that does not translate to a living wage. The workers made this vow through the former chairman of the Oyo state council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC), Comrade Andrew Emelieze. ''We call for justice, we demand a decent, fair and just living wage for the federal work force. We will resist and reject anything less than a living wage. Our government should also not forget to clear all outstanding arrears owed to the federal workers. We specially call on the NLC/TUC to be very reasonable and pragmatic in their negotiation for a new national minimum wage. We are in total support of the position of the NLC/TUC for a yearly review of the national minimum wage,'' Comrade Emelieze stated.
Ceaseless Prayers
Let us pray ceaselessly for God to open the eyes of those who have political power and have become committed to unjust economic policies and deep social injustices. Amos 8:4-14 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, 5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit? 6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea , and sell the refuse of the wheat? 7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. 8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. 9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I wi...
