A good reason to do right

The fear of God is a valid reason not to sin.

Job feared God and shunned evil.

The assumption is that there is a connection between fear and the right behavior.

The fear of God is a deep respect and reverence for God’s holy character and awesome power.

It is a healthy fear, not only of sin’s painful consequences but of sinning against the One who loves us and Whom we depend on for our very life.

And if we love Him, we will not offend Him.

Yes, the fear of God is a good reason to do right.

The measure of our love for God is obedience.

Federal Workers Protest Poor wages, hardships and Insecurity in Ibadan

Federal Government workers under the aegis of the Federal Workers Forum (FWF) on Monday staged a peaceful protest against the economic hardships and insecurity confronting workers inside the Federal Secretariat Ikolaba, Ibadan, Nigeria.

However, the protest was voluntary, as workers were not prevented from moving in and outside the secretariat-the two entrances remained opened.

In his words, Comrade Paul Balogun reminded the Federal Government that workers on its payroll were suffering, saying, ‘’ we are appealing to the Federal Government to pay the wage award immediately. The Federal; Government is still owing us two months wage award. The arrears should be paid immediately.’’

‘’The average Nigerian worker is living from hand to mouth, the average Nigerian worker is hungry and the monthly salary cannot take the average Nigerian worker home. Only N40,000 was added to the new minimum wage of N70,000 across board. We are appealing to the Federal Government to do the necessary, Comrade Balogun concluded.

For Comrade Olaniyi Ajibosho, workers have been experiencing difficulties reporting for duty daily.

‘’Workers can no longer report for duty as a result of the high cost of transport and poor salaries. Rents and school fees of our children are also there to address. We are suffering, ‘’ Comrade Ajibosho declared.

However, the National Coordinator of the FWF, Comrade Andrew Emelieze sums up the plight of the workers,’’ we are living in fear and economic hardships. Government should treat us like human beings. We are the geese that lays the golden eggs. Government should do all that is possible to reverse the ugly trend. Government should review the minimum wage now.

 Be a Responsible Father(32nd REMEMBRANCE-CHIEF D.A ADEWUMI-JUNE20TH 2026) 

Today, indiscipline, lawlessness, criminality, diabolism, treachery, betrayal, hypocrisy and evil are the values in society.

Indeed, children's upbringing by fathers and mothers has resulted in a very disturbing and pitiable situation.

Chief Adewumi was a responsible and upright father who adhered strictly to the principles of successful living and standards revolving around honesty, firmness, resolution, transparency, courage, humility, tolerance, endurance and perseverance, generosity and philanthropy.

Let us retrace our steps by becoming responsible and fathers, just like Chief Adewumi, who impacted positively on several lives, including mine.

Members of the same family are plotting evil against each other because of inheritance.

Spare the rod and spoil the child.

Pray On

There are those who lead lives devoid of heeding to warnings or seeking urgent help they need.

They are tragedies waiting to occur.

However, we are not helpless. We can ask God to be merciful to them in spite of themselves.

When all we can do is pray, prayer move the hand that moves the world.

Read Genesis 18:20-33


The Obstinate

The handwriting on the wall is now very clear, those-in-charge have not done very well for the people.

The people have only continued to complain while at the same time reining curses on those responsible for their impoverishment.

Sadly, they are helpless.

Those-in-charge ought to be reasonable enough to step aside for others with the ability and know how to meet the people’s expectations to take charge.

Unfortunately, the political office holders are obstinate; they have refused to admit failure in almost all the sectors of the economy, while the disturbing situation continue to deteriorate.

Contrary to God’s Word

  Invest in this content

In almost every culture, women are perceived as underdogs and as a result always play second fiddle.

Jesus Christ, however, never treated any woman in a demeaning way.

Instead, He elevated the status of women in a male dominated society to one of equal dignity and honor.

In Galatians 3:28, Paul asserted that oneness in Christ transcends al distinctions between men and women.

Any demeaning attitude, comment or action towards women by men is contrary to God’s Word.

It is every woman’s inalienable right to be treated with dignity and honor. Read Esther 1

Empty Assurances

Several businesses have closed shop as a result of the very harsh policies of the government of the day.

Millions of Nigerians are already impoverished.

Distraught citizens have now become pick-pockets in public places.

The general costs of doing business in Nigeria has gone beyond reach.

Violent crimes, prohibitive costs of energy and transport occasioned by the cut throat prices of Petroleum Motor Spirit (PMS), Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), diesel and kerosene are the sign posts of governance presently.

Sadly, the response from those-in-charge revolves around deceit and empty assurances, while the desperation to manipulate the people’s resolve in 2027 continue.

Forgiveness

 Invest in this content

Our God is very unpredictable.

We are sinful and He is holy.

Sin can no more exist in the presence of God than darkness can exist in the presence of light.

To stand before Him in sin is to invite destruction.

If God were to keep a record of our sins, we could not stand in His presence.

God is honored and worshiped because He alone can clear our record.

If God could not forgive us, we could only flee from Him in terror.

Yet the God holiness threatens us is the God who through Christ redeems us.

Our unpredictable God offers forgiveness for all our sins.

Sins invites judgment; confession ensures forgiveness.

We need only to ask for it. Are you forgiven?

Read Psalm 130

 

A Defeatist Argument

It is a sad commentary that certain Nigerians are either self-serving or being manipulated to accept that all is well in Nigeria.

A lot has gone wrong.

Indeed, desperation, wickedness and heartlessness are not traits of a virile democracy.

In very sane climes, dissenting voices thrive without harassment, threats, intimidation and attacks, while law enforcement and security agencies are not tools of repression and suppression.

The focus at the center and states revolves around silencing dissenting voices at the expense of good governance.

Insensitivity, carefree attitude and impunity are now components of this democracy.

Sadly, teachings in the diverse places of worship have failed to impact positively on the behavior of public office holders.

Criminality is now a way of life everywhere in Nigeria.

Every night criminals converge at a patent medicine store along Kehinde Adeiribigbe street, Olorunsogo, Molete, Ibadan, Oyo state, to engage in acts that breach public peace.

Their boldness and brevity is an indication that the government tacitly supports criminality.

The deliberate move to shy away from the truth by those-in-charge is not helping matters, even as the undiluted truth is very visible for all discerning minds.

Defeatist arguments are reflections of the helpless situation when consideration is given to responses of the government.

Renewal of Spirit of the mind


The agony that sin brings into our lives is enormous and had numbing effect.

It deadens our senses of touch with God and enables us to live without awareness of the ‘’injury and infection’’ that slowly damages our soul.

Sin produces numbness in our spirit. In other words, we can actually be hurting-yet feel no pain.

Let us pray for the Lord to give us a healthy hatred of sin.

If we feel no pain when we sin, we are worse off than we realize.

Read Ephesians 4:17-24

The Legacy

The signs are ominous and noticeable everywhere, those-in-charge at all levels of government are about to leave behind a legacy revolving around 1) Ignorance 2) Illiteracy 3) Indiscipline 4) Lawlessness 5) Criminality 6) Immorality 7) Profanity 8) Evil

Violent crimes are now part of daily living.

Complicity cannot be ignored considering the utterances of certain public office holders in recent times.

If only good governance is the focus, without compromising the ability of the young people to develop at their own pace.

Perhaps, the situation would not be disturbing and worrisome.

 In these perilous times take time to get all the facts of the situation which varies from place to place.

It is imperative that you have a good understanding of the issues in view, without arriving at hasty conclusions.

Only then can we obey God and follow His Example.

He knows all the facts because ‘’He is slow to anger and abounding in mercy.’’

Rule with Diligence

 Read God's Word

Every leader must face tribulation, challenges and pestilence.

Prosecution is the logical occurrence, when a leader defaults by acts of commission or omission.

A leader’s behavior ought to be a model for his or her followers.

This is the case when such a leader respects their points of view.

Indeed, a leader is an embodiment of good behavior.

No individual must from his or her shadow.

Our God expects from us, only what we can offer, not below, not above.

The Lord wants us to be fruitful and provide a quality service that comes from doing our very best.

Your little is a lot when you give your all.

Education removes the wool of ignorance from our eyes.

Read Romans 12:1-8

 The Disturbing Siutation

Adolf Hitler labelled the extermination of the Jews in Europe,''the Final Solution'', while the military dictatorship in Argentina which embarked on an unprecedented killing of its citizens code named same ''The Process of National Reorganization''.

The activities of bandits, insurgents and herdsmen in Nigeria which have claimed thousands of lives are similar to the above mentioned.

Between 1976 and 1983, millions of citizens lost their lives in Argentina.

Death squads operating under secret circumstances and the cover of the state, murdered about 11,000 people, which is now described as ''The Disappeared''.

Two million people escaped persecution, while hundreds of babies born to ''The Disappeared'' were either sold, bartered or murdered.

Indeed, happenings in different states of Nigeria, including, Borno, Benue,Taraba and Plateau, Oyo, and Zamfara states, among several others, indicate Government's adequate knowledge of the situation, while unabated killings go on.

The relocation of the Inspector General of Police to Benue state, one of the troubled spots some time in the past, did not reverse the status quo.

On March 23 1976, General Jourge Videla, Head of the Argentine Army overthrew the Government of Isabelita Peron, a former night club dancer. 

In this country, no civilian Government had completed its tenure, except for Juan Peron, who spent only a tenure in office.

However, in Nigeria, the country still experiences obvious signs of  hunger, poverty, mass unemployment, corruption and a high level of insecurity.

The Ejercito Revolucionario de Pueblo and the Montoneros, leftists, took to kidnapping and killings to express their displeasure over bad governance in Argentina.

In Nigeria, kidnappings and killings have gone on unabated. 

Political watchers put the blame at the doorstep of Government.

Presently, Nigerians are worried over Government's inaction, as the country gradually slides into anarchy.

Accusing fingers are been pointed at political office holders  who have failed to deliver the dividends of Democracy.

Interestingly, the body language of the National Assembly, is an indication that the lawmakers, are yet to realize the need for the entrenchment of the rule of law and due process in the polity, just as impunity is now the order of the day

In 2009, the Defense Minister of Madagascar , Cecile Manorohanta, resigned her appointment on the grounds that she would not be part of a Government that kills its citizens.

Also, the people of Madagascar vigorously opposed the attempts by President Marc Ravalomanana to lease one million acres of their land to a Korean firm, Daewoo, for intensive farming. 

The people have deep ties with their land and as a result view the President's action as a betrayal.

The insecurity in the land has made foreign investment impossible, while the disenfranchised and poor majority look into the gloomy future for reprieve. Divine intervention, perhaps.
