Fellowship with God

Image
  Believers who sustain a very close fellowship with God have all it takes to neutralize the most oppressive darkness and adverse situations. The Local Scene Education ministries in the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory ought to make public the disturbing standard of education. The present situation is hopeless, as pupils and students exhibit traits that are very strange in educational institutions. The attitude of those in charge is that of helplessness, as learning takes the back seat across Nigeria. Sharp practices have overwhelmed most educational institutions, despite the huge investment in the education sector. The noticeable oddity everywhere is the sight of criminals in school uniforms, while society carries on as if this is now the norm. Read God's Word(All correspondence to solomon1day@gmail.com)

Lawmakers are very far from Nigerians-Comrade Emelieze


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 pains of millions of Nigerians.'' Comrade Emelieze stated.


The Local Scene



Healthcare delivery in government-owned health facilities across Nigeria has for so long deprived millions of Nigerians of quality and affordable services.

Indeed, the privately owned institutions, which ought to be credible alternatives, have worsened the plight of impoverished citizens.

Sadly, the cost of services rendered in these private health facilities has gone beyond the reach of the citizens.

Of worry is the resort to other means of treatment, which have become the only option for the indigent for obvious reasons.

Sadly, those in authority seem not to be perturbed, as Nigerians transit to the world beyond on a daily basis as a result of the prohibitive cost of health care delivery in different parts of the country.

Ceaseless Prayers

 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...

  Some health workers in Oyo state have expressed reservations over the continued delay of the state government to meet their demands. The health workers, who are members of the Nigeria Union of Allied Health Professionals(NUAHP), Hospital Management Board unit, lamented that the state government ''is not taking our welfare seriously.'' ''The state government has continued to treat health workers on its payroll with levity. We are not happy about this, the government should urgently address our demands, they stated. However, the chairman of the unit, Comrade Olanrewaju Ajani disclosed that of all the demands of the health workers, the state government had only reviewed the hazard allowance. ''Before the 21-day ultimatum we gave the state government on 4th March 2024 elapsed, the government appealed to us to be patient. We appeal to the state government to do something on time. We have provided enough evidence. It is only the hazard allowance that has bee...
