    *A PROSE OF AN OBSERVER ABOUT IBB BOOK LAUNCH*

    I have always said that if you stay alive long enough in Nigeria you will see devil exhumed from the grave and deoderised by Nigerians.

    IBB's book launch presented a perfect platform for such occasion.

    OBJ was there. Taking notes for his next book.

    GEJ was present. Looking clueless and neither here nor there as usual

    Gowon as usual dwelt on inanities.

    He eulogised IBB for restoring his rank yet unlike IBB is not bold enough to write his own book.

    Perhaps, Gowon is also waiting for his contemporaries to die before lying over their graves like IBB.

    and of course Bobo Chicago who claimed to fight for democracy but the current face of tyranny, evil and undemocratic practices was also there.

    The people who betrayed Abiola and urged him to Golgotha were there shining their rotten teeth in the glistening light.

    The picture represents the perfect problem with Nigeria.

    These were men who contributed in the ruination of a country.

    Nobody has bad word for IBB.

    Given time, he has transformed into the perfect General.

    He has become a hero and maker of men.

    But give to IBB, as a military leader he understood evil craftsmanship.

    He has dealt with rotten idiots who paraded themselves as Democrats so the audience before him were very familiar.

    One vital question.

    How did a man who did everything to destroy democracy suddenly became the beacon of democracy in Nigeria, to the extent that aspiring leaders visit his Minna Mecca to receive tutelage on leadership?

    There were also billionaires like Arthur Eze who is at best a nuisance in Igboland.

    There were Alakija. She was gifted with oil wells.

    There was Dangote etc.

    They all had good things to say about IBB.

    No mention of Dele Giwa.

    An unsung hero in a useless country.

    Moshood Abiola at least got 1 day named after him each year.

    That was enough price for dying for Nigeria and ruining his family and business.

    After all IBB was his dear friend.

    The billionaires claimed IBB made them.

    Thus, they rewarded him with about 16 billion naira for his library project.

    Laughable!

    All the Nigerian dictators own libraries.

    They gave back to him.

    IBB was a maker of men.

    By the way, Abacha also made some men.

    When will they stand up and speak for him or probably build a library for him?

    Buhari also made some men during his 8 years democratic dictatorship.

    He will likely receive his flowers and a library named after him.

    The Emilokrook made some men also as Lagos State Governor.

    We recall he rebuilt the house of our Prof Wole Soyinka who was so poor he couldn't afford to rebuild his house.

    In future the crooks he made will donate to his library.

    So YOU, where exactly are you in the scheme of things as a Nigerian?

    Your reward is poverty, hunger, unemployment, disease, homelessness, japa then heaven.

    I can only take one positive thing from the meeting.

    He took responsibility by admitting for the first time, that his friend, Abiola won the June 12 election.

    Sadly again, and deliberately not for forgetfulness, Humphrey Nwosu, the electoral umpire during June 12 who was brave to announce most of the results against military directive wasn't mentioned.

    Folks like Humphrey Nwosu doesn't fit the Nigerian optics.

    He was a gatecrasher to uncommon destiny.

    He lived in a wrong country among unclean people.

    He became part of the collateral damage.

    An unsung hero.

    As IBB admitted to Abiola's victory, 33 years after, I look forward to the day the dark Professor, Mahmood will develop the manhood to confess openly to Peter Obi that he rigged the 2023 election to favour the Chicago drug baron.

    I once said that even if devil appears physically in Nigeria that he would receive massive supporters.

    Nigeria is the seat of evil.

    It is a crime scene.

    It's not habitable for human beings.

    Living in Nigeria for far too long is capable of turning a saint to a devil.

    I am yet to see an African country were evil is celebrated and bad character rewarded such as Nigeria by Nigerians.

    It is one country I can tell you for sure that it cannot be redeemed.

    A country populated by religious maggots who spend billions of naira to visit Mecca and Israel yet return to Nigeria as agents of Satan to ruin their people.

    IBB is evil.

    But those who came after him were undiluted devils.

    TOPIC: "TAKE YOUR PLACE IN CHRIST"

    SATURDAY 22ND FEBRUARY 2025. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
    -------------------------------------------------
    Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses (Acts 13:38-39)

    What we just read brings to mind what the Bible says in Romans 3:24, that we've been justified freely by grace through the redemption that's in Jesus Christ. Through Jesus Christ we've received remission of sins, the complete removal of sins, and by Him we've been justified from all things, from which we couldn't be justified by the Law of Moses.

    That means we've been declared acquitted, free from all charges and accusations. Blessed be God! Jesus made it so. He took your place so that you might take His place. Taking your place in Christ is what Christianity is about. Take what He gave up for you; take the place He has given you your new place in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 says, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."

    Take your place of righteousness and express the will and nature of the Father. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says, "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich." This is your new place the place of wealth and abundance.

    Also, read Ephesians 2:4-5 and see your place: "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)." You've been raised up together and made to sit together in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. This signifies a place of authority; you're recognized in the heavenly realm as a man or woman of dominion. Blessed be God!

    PRAYER

    Dear Father, I thank You for the place You've given me in Christ-a place of glory, dominion, wealth, abundance and power. I walk in the consciousness of this reality, expressing Your will, nature and purpose as I reign and rule in life, exercising authority over circumstances, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

    TOPIC: "INTIMACY WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT"

    THURSDAY 6TH FEBRUARY 2025. Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
    -------------------------------------------------
    The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen (2 Corinthians 13:14).

    The foundational principles of developing a personal and intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit is through the Word of God and prayer. It's important to yield to Him through the Word and deepen your relationship with Him through prayer. Every relationship without communication dies, irrespective of what that relationship is, whether it's the relationship between parents and their children, spouses, co-workers, etc.

    On the other hand, good communication nourishes and enhances relationships. If you're going to have a richer fellowship with the Holy Spirit, you need to commune effectively with Him in prayer. He's a person, and you've got to relate to Him as a person. Read our opening scripture again; it indicates the kind of relationship we're supposed to have with the Lord.

    The Father is in heaven, and Jesus has gone to heaven; only the Holy Spirit is here with us. The God we know and relate to today is the Holy Spirit. He makes the presence of the Father and the presence of Jesus real to you. So, learn to talk to Him. That's why speaking in tongues is also vital. Speak in tongues often.

    The Apostle Paul serves as a great example of a successful Christian and minister, and one of his secrets was fellowship with the Holy Spirit through prayer. He said, "I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all" (1 Corinthians 14:18). If Paul realized it was necessary for him to speak in tongues so much that he could say he spoke with tongues more than the whole Corinthian church, then you must recognize its importance. Speak in tongues every day and every so often, and build a sturdy relationship with the Holy Spirit.

    PRAYER

    Dear Father, I thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit; I recognize His presence in my life and yield fully to His leading. As I fellowship with Him, my spirit is built strong, and I'm empowered to live victoriously, every day, in Jesus' Name. Amen.

  • In secondary school, we say "Obey before complain". Once a student started explanation without complying, no one would listen to you. If police stops you by the road, you will stop wether you carry anything incriminating or not. I wish Madam Nat would have relocated to the New Seat and stand up to the Senate President from her lawfully re-allocated seat. It would have been better.

    It's obvious the outburst is from previously accumulated grievances but, you have to fight people from the position of law. It appeared the SP has began the silent treatment of not recognising her which may be irritating. Notwithstanding, diplomacy will solve the issue. Senator Ireti, the senator representing FCT was also complaining of not been recognised few months ago when she was fighting Wike on TV and on Media. It's not new. A leader is a leader. They are all senator but, SP is the leader. Outright disrespect and fingers pointing may not end well.

    In the beginning of the red chamber career, Madam Nat was SP favourite. I envied her relationship with him by then. She was named chairman, committee on local content. She was elected as a member of ECOWAS parliament. She was always accompanying SP and his Deputy on foreign trips. You can hardly see Madam pictures by then without SP. A lot must have happened that break their relationship and got aggravated by night club comments.

    I will prefer a smooth relationship between her and SP than confrontation. A smooth relationship will help her and her Constituency than confrontation. She has bill to sponsor and she will need the cooperation of the leadership. Democracy is not an easy feat anywhere.

    Some people says "That's Ebira blood". Well, as lovely as it may sound, I don't think it will benefit us. If I see Madam, I will tell her face to face to relax a bit. You can tame a lion to be your friend and it's not by fight. She should use her feminine attitude to get SP in her bag. A calm voice solve a thousand grievances before a raging voice will solve one

    Courtesy DS Ømêizá for this wonderful write up & compliment of the season, me I decided to keep mute over this matter before some folks tag me I don't like her before but this is simple truth

  • SEEK PERMISSION

    When you step into a person's private space, before bringing out a phone to record, ask for permission.

    When people honor you enough to associate with you before bringing the phone to record them, ask for permission.

    When they are praying for you, why is video the most important thing on your mind? It is obvious we are just joking, and it is all a game of numbers and association.

    It is becoming alarming to see people video your brief conversation or contact with them and put them online suddenly.

    When you carry people's children before taking a picture, ask for permission. Some people are very private with their children's faces.

    Respect people's privacy. Access is maintained through wisdom and discretion.

    Just my personal thoughts, you actually don't have to agree.

    Let's me add this: Seek permission from people, don't assume and do certain things they won't appreciate on their behalf.
