…you can’t use MKO Abiola’s name to win election – PDP tells Buhari President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday  declared  June 12 Nigeria’s Democracy Day and also awarded Nigeria’s highest honour, Grand Commander of the Federal Republic, GCFR,  to the late businessman Moshood Kashimawo Abiola, winner of the election held on same date in 1993. The election, adjudged to be the freest and fairest up till that year, in Nigeria’s history was  annulled by the military junta headed by Ibrahim Babangida, plunging Nigeria into a five-year political crisis. Abiola died in 1998 and General Sani Abacha, who was one of the beneficiaries…

What I intend to share with you is a profound truth that wont allow me to keep quiet. Sometime ago, Jesus said to a people around Him, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32). What kills a lot of people isn’t much of anything seriously outside their ignorance. The Yoruba people of South-Western Nigeria normally say, “What you don’t know is higher or older than you”; implying that ignorance keeps any people or person under faster than any other thing. According the book of Genesis 2:7; we understand how God made man,…

DANIEL’S 70 WEEKS PROPHECY AND THE “WISE MEN FROM THE EAST”. Of all the mysteries in scripture few have attracted the interest of Bible scholars more than the prophecy known as the 70 Weeks of Daniel. These prophecies were revered and studied even back in Daniel’s own lifetime in the 6th century B.C. Daniel served in the imperial courts of first the Babylonian and then the Medo-Persian world empires.We have all heard of the wise men from the east who came in search of the Christ child. It is highly likely that the Magi, a number of rulers and wise men from…

The question of the identity of the Edomites is a matter of great importance as we come into the latter days. What is the essential spiritual character of an Edomite? And as we shall discover, this is the key to the matter, not bloodlines or race. Certainly the Edomite spirit has and still does track down through families. But any person of any race can become an Edomite by an adoption of that Edomite spirit. At its essence the Edomite identity is a spiritual way of feeling, thinking, and acting. It is not just a matter of DNA or ancestral lineage…

Fela Durotoye is a great person. Nigerians can be very proud of him. He represents the young generation, which drives Nigeria towards the path to development and integration into the world community. Having received an excellent education, and getting a perfect knowledge in economics and strategic business planning, he was capable of working in any of the world’s leading business corporations. But as a patriot of his country and a true son of Nigeria, Fela decided to devote his skills to his homeland. Fela Durotoye helps Nigeria to develop strategies to improve the welfare of the country and its inhabitants.…

We cannot talk about God in this article without due consideration to the book inspired by God – the Bible. According to the first book of the Bible, Genesis 1:1, we understand that in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Being the creator of those territories, He became the LORD of the heavens and the earth. Hence, those places are territories of His Kingdom. If we move on from that understanding, we can then narrow our focus in this piece on the earth – one of the territories created in the beginning by The LORD God. From…

Sometime ago, President Muhammadu Buhari began a campaign of ‘Change Begins With Me’ at the Banquet Hall in the Aso Villa. The claim was that, there was a need for every Nigerian to kickstart the change they yearn for. While they claim the campaign was not a big budget one, there were calls for individuals to propagate the messages everywhere they can. Looking on from that time, I find it extremely difficult to see any real change anywhere, not even in the character of the Federal Government. Before the APC government came, there was a Nigerian state, and there was…

I understand that you may not want to think about death right now; I however, know that your life on earth as been predefined by God and it must in time come to pass. Therefore, I would quick share some thought with you before you sleep tonight. If I may ask you, “Have ever seen any beautiful dead man or woman before?”, “Have you ever seen any dead man or woman, who was well composed or presented?” You see, there is not beauty in the flesh and neither is there any beauty in death. Another word for flesh in this…
