The Gifts of God

We must take the pains to recognize the importance of the gifts of God to us. In addition, we must not take such gifts for granted. God's goodness is as constant as the sun; therefore, we must not forget what He showers on us each blessed day. Read Psalm 103 Human life is precious, invaluable, and God's creation.  This position is held by millions all over the world. A sizable number of leaders are inhumane and heartless but adopt human-friendly initiatives as smoke screens.  In the face of the continued shedding of human blood, some pretend all is well.  Why?   Pecuniary interests and selfish interests.  The human psyche in a specified number of individuals has been overwhelmed by evil thoughts that goes beyond human comprehension, just as impunity continues, as a result of the connivance of those in charge.  Illiteracy, hunger, poverty, and unemployment are among the factors that have over the years impeded development in Nigeria.  Ordinarily...

2023-Carry Everyone Along-Nigerians to Labor Party

Nigerians have called upon the leaders of the Labor Party in Nigeria to decentralize the campaign structure of the party as the 2023 general elections approach to avoid infighting and altercations.

''Mr. Peter Obi, his running mate-Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed and other leaders should ensure that the campaign structure of the Labor Party is decentralized and that every Nigerian is carried along in the course of the campaigns across the Federal Republic of Nigeria to avoid infighting, wranglings and altercations; the campaigns should be taken seriously and should be deviod of self-centered thoughts and attitude'', they stated.

Ceaseless Prayers

Image
 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...

Lawmakers are very far from Nigerians-Comrade Emelieze

Image
Lawmakers in both chambers of the National Assembly and the State Houses of Assembly have long ceased to represent the electorate in Nigeria. This assertion was made by the convener of the Federal Workers Forum, Comrade Andrew Emelieze. ''For some years now, the elected representatives of Nigerians in both chambers of the National Assembly and State Houses of Assembly have stopped representing the people. They now represent their self-centered interests. Have they done enough to reverse the economic hardships giving Nigerians sleepless nights?'' ''It has been zero intervention as regards the present economic hardships confronting Nigerians. Are those in the legislature just passing time? What is the relationship between the Executive and the Legislature? The answer is the relationship is symbiotic. This is the major reason why they have enough time for frivolities and non-issues. The lawmakers are very far from their constituents and are not in touch with the pa...
