A Point of Duty

Image
Join me in Gumroad /> Let us make it a point of duty to guide people to Jesus Christ. Only through Him can those with broken bodies, broken dreams, broken homes and broken hearts come to wholeness of life. Read Mark 2:1-12 No Positive Impact Life is full of predators, while most communities are at the mercy of the forces of darkness. These criminals move freely because the government at all levels, the law enforcement and security agencies are complicit. Indeed, indiscipline, lawlessness, all forms of crimes, criminality and evil which are the creation of the cronies, protégés, well-wishers, supporters and admirers of political office holders which haves failed to positively impact on the lives of distraught citizens, are the legacies the leadership are about to leave behind.   IS Claims Nigeria Village Attack That Killed Dozens, Christians Among Those At Risk Hundreds Convicted In Nigeria Terror Trial Amid Fresh Attacks (Worthy News In-Depth)

Nigerian Prisons are No longer Correctional Cneters-Comrade Emelieze

 A former chairman of the Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Oyo state and also the National Coordinator of the All Workers Convergence(AWC) Comrade Andrew Emelieze was remanded in the Agodi Correctional Center, Ibadan, Nigeria by a Federal High Court sitting in Ibadan, Nigeria. 

Comrade Emelieze was arraigned by the Department of State Services (DSS) in the Federal High Court, on a four-count charge of alleged injurious statement against the Federal Government, threat to protest at Aos Rock and failing to honor the DSS invitation.

 Comrade Emelieze  who spent six days in the center, narrates his experience. Excerpts:

Eritrea Arrests Christians Again, Raising Fresh Fears Of Persecution

I was remanded for six days in the Agodi correctional center for failing to meet my bail conditions. The totality of my experience was horrible and equally regrettable. My prison experience has exposed me to the pitiable and sorry state of inmates in the so-called correctional centers in Nigeria.

The prisons are over-congested while there are so many inmates, who have spent several years in prison awaiting trial. To send anyone to prison today is equal to a death sentence. The prisons are no longer correctional centers, but corruption centers.

Fulani Militants Kill Christians In Nigeria As Violence Escalates

The government has committed a crime against humanity, by ensuring that inmates live under such sorry conditions. Indeed, the government must take responsibility for the carnage in our prisons. The prisons are not fit for animals, talk less of human beings.

The government has to grant inmates who have been awaiting trial for several years amnesty as a step towards decongesting the prisons.

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...

The Message

Image
 When Jesus Christ was about to conclude His sermon on the Mount, He told a story about two personalities who built houses, one on a rock and the other on sand. His aim was for His listeners to realize that those who heard His message and went away without putting it to practice were foolish. Jesus Christ expects us to take action on His message. Do we always practice the sermons we have heard? A sermon is not complete until it is put to practice. Read Matthew 7:24-29 Desperation to Cling to Transient Power  Those-in-Charge do not respect the people’s views, rather the leaders impose their self-driven agenda on the people. They take from the poor to enrich themselves. This is not the promise they made. Of great worry, is the naked fact that they are now very desperate to cling to transient power.
