Daily Temptations

Image
  We are confronted with different forms of temptations in our daily choices. These tests seek to assess our beliefs and confidence in God. Every temptation sis an opportunity to trust and obey God with all our hearts.  Read Genesis 3:1-19  The Unanswered Question Nothing has changed. The citizens are disillusioned, disappointed and distraught. Indeed, the labor movements are in a deep slumber, occasioned by the pittance in the guise of national minimum wage and the yet to be fully paid wage award. The Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) initiative is yet to impact positively of millions of Nigerians. The price of the cooking gas has gone beyond the reach of very poor Nigerians, yet those-in-charge still carry on as if all is well. All is not well, the lives of Nigerians continue to deteriorate on a daily basis, even as coercion, intimidation, manipulation, blackmail and harassment are now the most effective indicators of governance at all levels of government-the central, state...

Don't be Instruments of Politicians-Oyo ACOMORAN Chairman to members

Members of the Amalgamated Commercial Motorcycle Riders And Owners Association(ACOMORAN) in Oyo state have been warned not to allow themselves to be used as instruments by politicians as the 2023 elections draw closer. This warning was issued by the association's chairman, Dr. Solomon Oulgbode in a chat with Federationews2day in Ibadan, Nigeria. '' I implore all ACOMORAN members to be law abiding and orderly, they know where they are coming from. They must also ensure that they are not used as instruments by politicians but support the Oyo state Governor because that is what my members say and want. Since Oyo state has accommodated us, why won't we support the state Governor? We don't have factions in our association in Oyo state. Those parading themselves as executives of the association are impostors. We must support the state Governor because he did not push us into the labor market.

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...
