A number of political office holders are occupying public offices today by the grace of miscreants who facilitated them into office. These miscreants have carried out so many acts that are not in tandem with the statutory laws of the land. However, as a result of the influence wielding culture, they remain untouchable. Interestingly, indiscipline, lawlessness, crime and criminality are the unifying factors among citizens of diverse ethnic, social, political and religious backgrounds. This is the prevailing situation in Nigeria, where the leadership in certain states, pays the piper and dictates the tune. Such a leadership, as described above, must be compelled to take responsibility and give account for all the innocent human lives that have been lost from 2019 till the present moment in the affected states.

  Let us pray for the 'bad labels' in society, for God to salvage them from the vicious grip of those who persistently manipulate them for evil purposes.         Mark 2:13-17

We should pray to God for strength and courage to challenge injustice and support the vulnerable and downtrodden.  Mark 2:1-12 1 And again he entered into Capernaum after  some  days; and it was noised that he was in the house. 2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive  them , no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. 3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. 4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken  it  up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy,  Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 7 Why doth this  man  thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? 8 And immediately whe...

  Obedience Obedience is an ancient Latin word meaning to do one's duty, and is essential in human life.   Parents should take the pains to groom their female children to imbibe this virtue, which will equip them for life's journey.  It is very honorable to be obedient.   As we grow to become adults, let us obey all the rules and regulations in our different schools and also obey the statutory laws of the land.  Ensure that you are obedient in all spheres of life, you may find yourself at any point in time-school, church, mosque, marketplace and other social places of interaction.   For parents and guardians   Inculcate in your children and wards, the right values, so that they will be a pride to you and society at large.  For teachers  Import valuable knowledge to your pupils and students. In addition, never be a wrong example for them.   Mrs. Mujakperuo is a master’s degree holder in Security Studies and also a doct...

  Discrimination was the order of the day during the colonial era. In November 1947, Imoudu led others to demonstrate against racial discrimination at the Bristol Hotel, Lagos.  In the cause of the demonstration, he was physically assaulted and arrested by the Police. However, of worry, is the self-preservation approach of present day labor leaders.  At different times, he mobilized the conference of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) to protest against colonial rule and also workers and peasants for the independence movement led by Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe, during the nationwide tour of the National Council of Nigeria Citizens (NCNC), to raise funds and support for the Nigerian delegation to the constitutional conference in London.  The Labor wing of the NC-Democratic Grand Alliance, of which Imoudu was a member, won four seats in the Lagos Town Council elections in 1950.  In 1964, Imoudu led a general strike against the restriction of democracy, which was targeted at ...

  The need for an increase in wages and better working conditions prompted Michael Imoudu to lead a demonstration from the locomotive yard in Ebute metta, Lagos to the Government House situated at Marina, Lagos Island, Lagos. The Governor General of the Colony of Lagos, Bernard Bourdillon, noticed that any form of industrial action at that period, could disrupt railway supplies to the coalition, during the Second World War in 1941. It was on this premise he acceded to a 50 percent pay rise for the workers. This success, further inspired Imoudu to put forward more demands, among which were conversion of daily casual labor to salaried employment, Saturday work with pay, permanence of daily labor, holiday travel grant and payment of arrears to cover from 1932 to 1942 unpaid entitlements. This did not go down well with Bourdillon, who facilitated the termination of Imoudu’s appointment on 23 January 1943 and also ordered his arrest under the Nigeria General Defense Regulations, 1941. I...

  Let us avoid the painful choices between good and evil, then we will be liberated from the struggle against the seductive powers-that-be(whatever they are in our situation).  Mark 1:12-15 12 And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. 13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. 14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 And saying,  The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
