Until the Kingdom of God came down upon the children of men through the Agency of Christ Jesus, many people were under the captivity, subjugation of the Kingdom of darkness (which rules primarily through the ignorance of the people within it). During such moments, just like the days when the children of Israel were in Egypt, under the rulership of Pharaoh; they were given tasks ceaselessly by their masters. Their masters (Egyptians) made them to SERVE with pain and suffering without any sense of fulfillment or achievement. The children of Israel worked day and night – trying to please their…

From 1999 to 2015, Nigeria was ruled (governed or administrated) by the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP). Quite frankly, many changes were witnessed from the days of President Obasanjo (when salaries of workers skyrocketed, mobile telecommunication became a reality, Abuja city was greatly developed) to President Shehu Musa (when Militants were attended to) to President Jonathan (when the Movie industry boomed and Agriculture began to contribute more to the GDP). Obviously, more than any Nigerian might want to admit, the situation of Nigeria changed significantly (for the better) under the 16 years reign of the PDP. Just around 2014, the wave…

While am aware of the possible resistance of many politicians to this proposition, it is an obvious solution to our failing health sector in Nigeria. State Governors (serving and former) and their families have benefited from State-Sponsored medical trips to countries like Germany, Spain, India and UK. Obviously, Presidents (serving and former) enjoy FG-sponsored medical trips outside the borders of Nigeria. While this culture looks harmless on the surface, it has become the major clog in the wheel of progress of the health system of Nigeria. Why should the State Governors allocate the required percentage of their annual budget on…

An impediment to the quest for the full return of history to schools is our fear of excavating the seamy past of our heroes. We want history to be returned to our schools so that we can learn about our past and its avatars and draw some useful lessons for an effective response to our contemporary challenges. But we are trapped in the tragic paradox of the fear of being confronted with the foibles and peccadilloes of the past heroes who shaped our history. This paradox is amply expressed in the warning not to speak ill of the dead. We…

Nigeria is surely not an island and Nigeria is not existing out of time; hence we cannot claim to be ignorant of what is done else outside of shores. In many nations of the world, the health of the leaders is the “cup of tea” of the people. And in most cases, nations are led to prayers for the health and quick recovery of their leaders. However, in Nigeria, Nigerians find it hard to pray for the President – cause they do not know how he feels and his state of health. In UK sometime ago, there were concerns over…

While an average Nigerian is aware of the role played by the Minister of Information (Mr Lai Mohammed) in the emergence of General Muhammadu Buhari as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; Mr Lai Mohammed is also expected to know his bounds and limits with regards to his responsibility within the Presidency.  The truth is, Nigerians did not vote for the “Presidency”, we only voted massively for General Muhammadu Buhari – he chose to work with them as co-servants of Nigerians at the highest level of governance. We therefore think it is out of place for anyone in…

Muhammadu Buhari GCFR (born 17 December 1942) is the President of Nigeria, in office since 2015. He is a retired Major General in the Nigerian Army and previously served as the nation’s Head of State from 31 December 1983 to 27 August 1985, after taking power in a military coup d’état. The term Buharism is ascribed to the Buhari military government. He unsuccessfully ran for the office of President in the 2003, 2007 and 2011 general elections. In December 2014, he emerged as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress for the March 2015 general elections. Buhari won the election,…

It is a common knowledge everywhere today that people do what people see; that what an average person does or chooses or says is usually influenced by what such person has seen or heard. This saying reveals an inherent trait in us humans to mirror people around us – from our parents, to our peers and to our senior ones – we live to say or do what we see most of the time. Accountability however, is hardly done in public and among a given people. Accountability is often between a person and another. A form of self or organizational…

– We are in the perilous times = A time when men are lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanders, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haugthy, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness without real power to show for it. – We are in a season when men who have resisted the truth, men of corrupt minds who are disapproved concerning the truth, men who have made a living on the gospel by watering down its truth and twisting the mind…
