The world don't copy the christian in music but christians copy the world's music and play it in church just by God to it.

I recently watched a Christian movie that was both deeply touching and full of insight. But one statement at the end of the movie, made by Pastor Laju Iren, has been ringing in my head ever since:

"It’s better to be late in my calendar and be timely in God’s calendar."

How powerful is that?

So often, we become impatient and feel like God isn’t answering our prayers. But one thing we must remember is this: Our calendar is not the same as God’s calendar.

As individuals, if we truly want to walk with God, we must learn to exhibit absolute patience. Patience is a virtue, and as believers seeking His face, we must trust that His timing is always perfect.

Until I write to you again,

GOV ENO PAYS LAST RESPECT TO LATE BARR. BEN UDOWA

...describes him as a friend and man of many parts

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno, has commiserated with Mrs Lydia Udowa and family on the demise of her husband, Late Barr Ben Udowa.

In a condolence message delivered to the deceased family during the funeral held at The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Region Region 49 Headquarters, Eket, Governor Eno said the loss of a spouse, especially at such a relatively young age, evokes a deep sense of grief, assuring them that the whole state share in their painful moment.

He described the late Barr Udonwa as a man of many parts, a financial services expert, lawyer, entrepreneur, philanthropist, mentor and a beloved community leader, adding that he had inspired many to chart a course of personal development and growth.

The Governor observed that the deceased successfully led his multidisciplinary group of companies, Madelyn Group, and served the State meritoriously until his sad passing as the Executive Director, Other Investments in the Akwa Ibom State Investment Corporation (AKICORP), and distinguished himself as a dependable and far-sighted member of the critical agency.

He noted that as a good friend, late Barr Udowa believed and supported him wholeheartedly, a gesture which culminated to his successful campaign and subsequent emergence as Governor of the State in the 2023 general elections.

The State Chief Executive therefore urged the bereaved family to take solace in the fact that despite his short sojourn on earth, he was able to record a lot of impactful achievements, touched many lives and lived a life defined by Christian virtues, and prayed God to rest the soul of the departed.

The wife of the deceased, Mrs Lydia Udowa, thanked the Governor for leading State government functionaries to give her late husband the last respect, saying that the family is grateful for the gesture.

Mrs Udowa spoke of her late husband as a good and humble man, saying, "from the huge pouring of condolences from groups and individuals, my husband has been described as an exceptional man of great virtue."

Tinubu’s second term assured – Akpabio

Senate President Godswill Akpabio says President Bola Ahmed Tinubu can rest assured that his second term in office is guaranteed, notwithstanding the ongoing plot by the opposition to unseat him in the 2027 poll.

Speaking during the special Iftar/Lent dinner organized by the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) aimed at strengthening fellowship and deepening bonds of unity among governors, National Assembly members, ministers, top government functionaries, and the leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja on Wednesday night, he expressed optimism that the APC would also sweep more elective seats across the country in the 2027 poll.

Applauding the Governor Hope Uzodinma-led PGF for organizing the event, he called on party stalwarts across the country to work together to achieve the objective.

He said: “Can we say amen! We will offer prayers for our party, that yes, indeed, victory shall be ours in 2027. Can we say a loud amen! And we will also pray for Mr. President that his second term is assured. Can we shout a loud amen!

"So, for the party, our governors, you will grow in numbers, you will grow in numbers. On our part in the parliament, ours is to continue to add the numbers to you. We just recently sent one of our own in the Senate to go and take care of Edo State. Is that not a good thing?”

Uzodinma remarked that the occasion allows party stalwarts to pray, reason, and work together in the task of nation-building, adding that all hands must be on deck to ensure the victory of the APC in the 2027 poll.

“Because we practice partisan democracy, and because we produce the government, we must take ownership of the government no matter where we are and where we sit. The success of the government is our collective success. The failure of the government is our collective failure. And the government is like a product,” he noted.

“And all of us are marketing officers that must market this product. So the whole idea behind this… is to once more have a platform to appreciate ourselves, to celebrate our own, because the government is our own.

“So, as we work towards a more prosperous Nigeria, as we confront the challenges of leadership and governance, it is like a sweet and sour soup. Sometimes it is sweet, sometimes it looks bitter and sour, but at the end of the day, it is a food we must all eat.”

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Chief Wale Edun, maintained that remarkable progress has been achieved due to the bold and courageous decisions taken by the President Tinubu-led administration.

The Minister argued that the drop in the inflation rate and the reduction in the cost of living among Nigerians speak volumes of the progress recorded by the President Tinubu-led administration.

According to him, we are all living it. Inflation is down, food prices are coming down, energy prices are coming down, the exchange rate is stable.

He added, “Those are the things that affect the cost of living that people are feeling. There are other figures and metrics that are behind the scenes. But what matters is how people are feeling, how it is impacting them. And that is why Mr. President continues to make every effort to intervene, particularly on behalf of the poor and the most vulnerable.

“For coming together, Muslim brothers and sisters observing Ramadan, Christian brothers and sisters observing Lent. In brotherhood and in sisterhood, we stand. God will keep us strong, make our party strong, and help us to support, encourage, and work with President Tinubu to make Nigeria strong, make Nigeria great.”

Among the dignitaries at the event were the National Security Adviser (NSA), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, Governors Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Monday Okpebholo, Francis Nwifuru, former Governor Yahaya Bello, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Benjamin Kalu, the House Leader, Prof. Julius Ihonvbere, 36 states and FCT chairmen of the party, and members of the Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje-led National Working Committee (NWC).

I want to say happy fasting to all my Christian brothers and also happy Ramadan fasting to all my Muslim brothers

Thursday morning, boozing with fasting both Christian and Muslim

GOV UMO ENO PRAISES ARCHBISHOP EKUWEM FOR INSPIRING GOOD GOVERNANCE

Akwa Ibom State Governor, Pastor Umo Eno has extolled the virtues of Catholic Archbishop of Calabar, Most Rev. Joseph Ekuwem for his ability to speak truth to power and inspire in leaders a desire towards a more Christ- like and people- centric governance style.

The Governor made the remark while speaking at the Archbishop's 75th birthday celebration and thanksgiving mass held at Sacred Heart Parish, Aka Offot, Uyo.

The Governor noted that Archbishop Ekuwem has inspired people to serve God better, embrace the kingdom of God and has impacted positively on society.

"We have been blessed by the force of your moral suasion and the uncanny ability to speak truth to power and, inspire in leaders a more Christ and people - centric governance.

"Today, because of the inspirational work you have done in Christian ecumenism, many have come to embrace the Kingdom of God, strongholds have been broken and gates of salvation flung open to all who seek redemption through Christ.

"We, at the State level, have been honoured by your kind acceptance to head our State Christian Leadership Advisory Council- an inter-denominational group of our fathers and mothers in faith, who have gladly agreed to join us in putting our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ at the centre of our administration," he said.

The Governor who also joined Archbishop Ekuwem at the reception for the event which incorporated a book presentation,
prayed for him to have robust health, continuous sound and fecund mind as well as strength, "so we may continue to benefit and drink from the fountain of your spiritual knowledge."

In his message of goodwill, Former Governor of the State, Obong Victor Attah, appreciated Archbishop Ekuwem for his Christ - centric disposition which he said qualifies him as a leading light of the Church.

Bishop John Ayah of the Catholic Diocese of Uyo applauded the exemplary christian life of Archbishop Ekuwem, and appreciated Governor Eno, whom he described as a good friend of the Catholic Church, for honouring the Archbishop with his presence, and for pursuing the ministry of reconciliation with vigour and maintaining peace across the State.

Earlier in his homily, Very Rev. Fr. Gabriel Ekong admonished Christians to do things that enhance life and good health, exercise mental restraint and desist from saying or doing things that could be injurious to others.

He said the Archbishop Ekuwem is a great teacher who has positively impacted the State, Nigeria and humanity at large.

At the reception, Chairman on the occasion and former Deputy Governor of the State, Engr. Patrick Ekpotu, said Archbishop Ekuwem is a man of integrity and honour worthy of celebration.

When heartache hits, and tears fall like rain,
Don't let the pain define you, or drive you insane.
Take a breath, and let the darkness fade,
Know that you're strong, and your heart will be made.

Don't give up, don't lose faith, don't lose sight,
Your heart is hurting, but it will heal in time's light.
Every scar tells a story, every wound will mend,
And though it's hard, you'll rise above, and love again.

So take small steps, and let love lead the way,
Focus on healing, and brighter days.
Don't let heartache break you, let it make you bold,
You are resilient, and your heart will unfold.

Remember, every storm will pass, the sun will shine bright,
And though it's hard to see, a new dawn will bring new light.
Keep pushing forward, don't give up the fight,
You will rise stronger, and shine with all your might.
