Be Justified by HIS Grace

Image
 We are justified by HIS Grace because we believe in Jesus Christ. This also enables us to receive the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit. Let us exhibit the difference that emerges from trusting Jesus Christ as our Savior by submitting to Him this moment.  Read Titus 3:1-8 READ GOD'S WORD The Debatable Corruption Fight  At a point in Nigeria's history, former President, Dr.) Olusegun Obasanjo stated ''it is a matter for regret that most public servants tend to subdue their political discipline in the face of personal aggrandizement''. When Dr.) Obasanjo was in the saddle as President, he set up the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to rein in fraudsters, money launderers, corrupt government officials and several others. Perhaps, the EFCC, was to strengthen the activities of the Nigeria Police Force, while the Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) was established to boost the work of the Code of Conduct Bureau.  ...

Stand on the Dictates of the Law to Succeed-Prof. Olagoke to President Tinubu

 

Attitudinal change is a major prerequisite for the present crop of political office holders to achieve sustainable development in Nigeria.

This assertion was made by the Founder, Spiritual Head and Grand Imam of Shafaudeen-in-Islam Worldwide, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke in his Ed el Fitri Message titled Democracy and Hope 2023.

''The attitudinal change for those in power and the people in general can only be achieved under strategic re-orientation for re-birth and re-branding. For the government of President Bola Tinubu to succeed, it needs to stand on the dictates of the law for regulation and growth through the appropriate arms of the law-Judiciary, EFCC, ICPC, SERVICOM, ACTU,NDLEA, NAFDAC and other anti-graft agencies. Corrupt government officials in these agencies and those in the corridor of power must be sanctioned as appropriate. A stitch in time saves nine!'', Prof. Olagoke concluded.

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...
