In the quest for righteousness, we should turn away from all filthiness. God wants us to separate ourselves from spiritual garbage. When we cultivate Godliness, sin will never flourish in our lives. 2 Corinthians 6:14 14  Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 7-1

&n bsp; The Federal Government has been called upon to urgently rescue industries that are daily folding up in Nigeria as a result of the harsh economic climate. This call was made by the Chief Executive Officer of Jagaban Communications International, Mr. Samuel Adenitan. ''The situation in the manufacturing, agricultural, power and other sectors is worrisome. Businesses are folding up, the economic environment is not conducive for business, there is no regular electricity supply and the prices of petroleum products are so high that it is almost beyond the reach of Nigerians. The Federal Government should take urgent steps to stem the tide to save the broadcast industry..'' ''Today, so many companies have either folded up or divested from the country. This development has negatively affected private television and radio stations in the country in terms of sponsorships and advertisements,'' Mr. Adenitan stated.

  The Personal Assistant to the late Eze  Ndigbo of Ibadan and Oyo state, Eze(Dr.)Alex Anozie, Mtr. Samuel Ulelu, in this piece, describes the late Managing Director of Conac Nigeria Limited, as a kind and detribalized Nigerian. Excerpts: His passage was shocking to me because I was with him on Tuesday 26th September 2023, that very day he showed no sign of ill health, that one may have suspected. There was no premonition, that very day the Hausa community came to pay him a visit, appealing to him to be their patron, which Eze agreed. After the program, everyone left. The next day I was called early in the morning, I was preparing to go to work, when the caller told me Eze was dead, I was surprised I did not believe the caller. But when I got to the office, I discovered it was true. It is a very great loss at this time when Ndigbo and Nigeria need him most. He was a very kind, loving, and detribalized Nigerian. He was humble to a fault.

Let us always pray to the Lord to deliver us from self-righteousness that leads us to despise people. The only difference between a sinner and a saint is the Grace of God. 1 Timothy 1:12-20 12And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry; 13Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. 14And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 15This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief. 16Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting. 17Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. 18This ch...

 In these challenging times, lawlessness and criminality continue to linger as those in charge pretend not to be aware. On Thursday 9th November 2023 at about 9.30 am in the morning at 3, Kehinde Aderibigbe Street, Olorunsogo, Molete, Ibadan, Oyo state, a lawyer with phone number-08053721344- alongside four thugs made an abortive attempt to serve a harmless citizen a letter in the midst of intimidation and threats from the thugs.
