Work and Pray in the Year 2026-Prophet Arabambi to Nigerians

Image
Millions of Nigerians are now conscious of the disturbing realities of the times-dehumanization, manipulations, deceit, exploitation, deceit and man's inhumanity to his fellow man. What can they do to liberate themselves? They are helpless. In this message, Prophet Timothy Arabambi of the   Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) (Reformation Land) Ile-Atunshe, Ibadan, Nigeria, opines that the year 2026 is a year of good tidings. Excerpts: The year 2026 is going to be a prosperous year with condition. God said that fi my people who have called my name, repent and see My face, I will heal the land. And mind you, God does not deal with us collectively, He deals with us individually. Believe this, there is no government that has ever reigned that has never experienced tribulation, challenges and pestilence. Also, there is no government that has ever reigned, and the door of the correctional center was closed. So, I am saying let us move closer to God because He is everything. Minus God from any...

Federal workers protest slave wages in Ibadan

Workers under the aegis of the Federal Workers Forum (FWF) on Tuesday protested the prevailing insecurity and economic hardships in Nigeria. 

The workers, led by the National Coordinator of the forum, Comrade Andrew Emelieze, shut the two entry points into the Federal Secretariat, Ikolaba, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria.

However, workers were noticed moving in and out of the secretariat through the pedestrian entry point—devoid of harassment, intimidation, and attacks. Even though the heavy presence  of law enforcement operatives may have partially undermined the workers protest.

Comrade Emelieze lamented that the situation of the workers "is horrible; workers are going through hell. That is why we are protesting to press home our demands.''

''The government promised us a living wage; the government now converted it to a slave wage. We are workers, not slaves.'' Most workers in Nigeria have been dehumanized and no longer perform their duties in the right frame of mind.'' Comrade Emelieze 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...
