  The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has been berated for hurriedly charging a case against the embattled President of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN) to court. According to a former chairman of the Oyo state council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC), Comrade Andrew Emelieze, ''As concerned members of the union, we are surprised to hear of the charges (CR/738/2023) brought against Comrade Bola Innocent Audu in court by your agency.

 Muslims all over the world have been called upon to share and assist the poor and needy during the 30-day Ramadan fast period. This call was made by the chairman of the Radio, Television, Theatre and Arts Workers' Union of Nigeria (RATTAWU) of the Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo state(BCOS), Alhaji Kolapo Carew. ''We pray that this time next year everything will be okay. Before the 30-day fast period, we have been fasting. The prices of foodstuffs have gone beyond our reach. I appeal to fellow Muslim brothers and sisters to share with the poor and needy. Let us help each other. In addition, I want to use this opportunity to thank the Governor of Oyo state, Engineer, Seyi Makinde, for paying salaries on the 25th of every month. If not for Governor Makinde, the story would be different. We thank him,'' Comrade Carew stated.

We should persistently pray to God (of light and shadow) for strength and a sense of our glory. Ephesians 3:14-21 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what  is  the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21 Unto him  be  glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

  The true equality of inclusiveness is Jesus Christ. The feeling of inclusiveness is rare across the world presently. The various kinds of greed or apathy which set communities against each other have become deep scars in our lives. Let us pray for global healing between nations which have made servants of each other and prisoners of debt. Ephesians 3:3-4 1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward: 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words, 4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to ...

  We should realize that Jesus Christ is the source of our forgiveness and redemption.  We are being molded into a new household of God. The task of molding is the exclusive preserve of God, not ours, and God will mold us into one holy temple. In our ceaseless prayers for Christian unity, let us act with respect for those who seek God in the other major world faiths. Ephesians 2: 1-22 1 And you  hath he quickened , who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, ...
