How To "Rule Thou In The Midst Of Your Enemies" by Spirit247: 6:49am On Sep 04, 2022
Our CREATOR told we His Children to "Have Dominion" and "Rule Thou in the midst of your Enemies" It is a pathetically unacceptable Anomaly for a Christian to be running away from living among Witches, Wizards, Satanists and Enemies when that is exactly where the Pure SPIRIT of MESSIAH that Lives in us wants to use us to Shine, Deliver and Demonstrate HIS Supreme AUTHORITY over Kingdom of Darkness, their weapons, powers and demonic activities. HalleluYAH!!!!!!!

In last Bible Study, we were made to understand that one of the Major Assignments of the Pure SPIRIT of MESSIAH in us is to make us to Rule right in the Midst of our Enemies until they all Submit and give their lives to SAVIOUR of Humanity or ultimately get Destroyed by the Wrath and Judgement of our CREATOR if they Continue to refuse the Salvation that we Continually beg our CREATOR to give them.

Either way, we are to Continually Pray for the Salvation of their Souls even as we Daily Decree that their Demonic Weapon against us should always vaporize and permanently Disappear as it gets Roasted by the Consuming Fire of our CREATOR.

3 Vital things that Pure SPIRIT of MESSIAH showed me and should be Shared here are:
1.) Be Spiritually Sensitive, be Watchful of those around you and far from you, and Pray especially every MidNight that the Satanic Activities, Arrows, Spiritual Bullets, Charms, Incantations and Evil Plans of Enemies against you should be fully Captured by Consuming Fire of I AM THAT AM and they be permanently Roasted to ashes.

2.) The fact that some Humans allow themselves to be used by Demons as your Enemies gives YOU Legal Ground to Destroy them or to Help Save them. But JESUS said we that are Saved should focus on Saving other Humans. Pray that Deliverance Power of I AM THAT I AM should Locate all the Souls that your Enemies tied down in their Satanic Kingdom, and after which you should also Pray that Blood of MESSIAH should Locate, Deliver and Save your Enemies from Deceptions and Enslavement of Satan and his Demons. Because MESSIAH Commanded us to Pray for the Deliverance and Salvation of our Enemies from the Hand of Satan. Our CREATOR Loves all Humanbeings so much and HE doesn't want any to End up in Lake of Fire that was Originally Prepared for Eternal Destruction of Satan and his Demons.

3.) Finally, since we all Accepted JESUS Son of our CREATOR by FAITH (Non of us has ever physically seen JESUS before) Why are you finding it Difficult take the Final Step that leads to Spiritual Maturity by FAITH also? Yes, MESSIAH Told us to Press Forward into HIS Kingdom! Speak in Tongue by FAITH. Christianity is Journey of FAITH! Satan deceived majority of Church through demonic Roman Empire that we must feel something on our head or body for us to believe that Pure SPIRIT of MESSIAH has Come into us. There is a Level of Victory and Ruling in the midst of Enemies that may never be attained unless we Allow our FAITH to Grow into Knowing that the Spirit of MESSIAH in us has been Striving to Pray through your Tongue and Mine. Flesh will never agree to this Truth because FAITH is never Way of Flesh but of SPIRIT! Read the Testimonies below:

READ: Psalm 24:8, Daniel 6:10, 1John 4:4, Psalm 110:2, Colossians 1:27, Hebrews 20:38, Daniel 6:24-26, Psalm 66:3, Hebrew 11:6, Mark 16:17, Deuteronomy 28:7, 2Samuel 22:41, Jeremiah 51:20, Numbers 23:23, Psalm 18:40, Esther 6:11, John 1:12, Psalm 23:5, Romans 8:14, John 14:12, Colossians 2:15, Ephesians 2:6, Revelation 20:9-10, Revelation 7:9-12.

TESTIMONY!
Living by FAITH and not waiting to first Feel or See before Taking Spiritual Steps is why Christianity is Superior to other Religions, and JESUS has Proven while He was on Earth that the Guarateed Reward of Living by FAITH is genuine Immortality/Eternal Life. The great Apostle Arome Osayi told us of how even he doubted his Speaking in Tongues until the day he encountered a Spiritual Owl that wanted to Physically Perch on his Head at 1:30AM in the Night (same Demonic Owl which Occultic Wizard Leader in his family used to make Apostle's Brother mad at age 21 and kill some of his family members) and he started WILLINGLY Speaking in Tongues violently with closed-eyes. He said he then opened his eyes to see if the Speaking in Tongues is Working and to his Amazement, he saw the big Owl already on the Floor with one of its Wings broken and bloodied. He said loudly to himself "It's Working!" He then closed his eyes again and continued to ever more Speaking in Tongues so Violently. At the end he saw the Owl cut into Pieces without seeing or even feeling the Angel that did it as he Spoke in Tongues. The following Day they saw the highly feared dreaded Demonic Strong Man, that has been using Wizardry for Terrorizing and Bossing over their entire Clan, stone-cold Dead at the entrance if his own House. Display of FAITH without feeling or seeing anything or Reason to Believe is the most Superior Power that Christians have! Start Using yours!

In this our Dispensation, many Stepped into Speaking in Tongues by FAITH knowing that Pure SPIRIT of MESSIAH Truly came into all that have stepped out for Alter Call to Receive HIM even though we physically felt nothing after Receiving JESUS, yet it has been one massive Victory and Another ever since then for we that truly Believe that HE Came into us. Start to Live by FAITH! Not by enslavement to Sight or feeling. Open your mouth and allow it to flow out, your Spiritual Level shall forever Change the Day you Push those Divine Words of MESSIAH out and never Stop again. Be warned: Your Flesh would surely laugh mockingly and violently attack You with stubborn Doubt to resist your Spiritual Elevation, as Flesh initially used Doubt to fight Apostle Arome Osayi, Apostle Joshua Selman, I myself that is still growing and every other Sons and Daughter of the CREATOR of Heaven and Earth.

Applying more Spiritual Stubbornness of never giving up to Doubt is the Key to irreversible Spiritual Authority, as we know that "Anyone that puts Hand to the Plough and then Look back is not fit for the Eternal Kingdom."

Hear this Prophesy! *Heaven shall be widely Open during Tonight's SGP Powerful Vigil for outpouring of more-than-Conquerors' Anointing over as many that would open their mouths to seriously personally Pray for Empowerment to Rule In The Midst of Enemies of MESSIAH with Aim of Winning Souls for HIM. Everyone must individually Seriously Pray for this in Tonight's Vigil because The Everlasting OWNER of Heaven and Earth is very Ready to Empower as many that shall Ask.

HalleluAHAYAH ASHAR AHAYAH!!!!!!!

Esther 6:11-12
Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him, Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to Honour.

Psalm 110:2
The Lord shall send the rod of thy Strength out of Zion: "Rule thou in the midst of thine enemies."

1 John 4:4
Ye are of God, Children, and have overcome them: because greater is HE that is in you, than he that is in the World.

Daniel 6:7-10 & 24-28
7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
8 Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.
9 Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.
10 Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.
24 And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den.
25 Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
26 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end.
27 He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

Let's Pray: Our Eternal Heavenly FATHER, we most Humbly Pray to YOU that YOU should Permanently Saturate us with UnConquerable Divine Power to Rule In The Midst of our Enemies in JESUS' Name!!!!!!!

African Christians with their imaginary "Enemies" mentality. Almost every church raises a prayer point against Enemies every Sunday.

They've created problems where there's none and held to the belief that God will liberate them from their own self-created/inflicted problems.

The big question I've been asking them is "Who exactly is your enemy or an enemy "?

Most answers are "Those who don't want me to progress, those who don't like me"... I shook my head in dismay.
No wonder most who left Africa to the Western World automatically seized to have these "imaginary self-created" enemies.

Truly environment affects people behavior and beliefs.

The Lord Jesus Christ was the Object of the passage being twisted by the writer, not you.

Christians take their place in the victory wrought by Christ, not ever presume they can achieve their own victory by themselves by the use of their mouths. Those are Aladura shamanic teachings, never Christianity.

It is spiritual pride, fueled by Satan, for any man to think he can face the Devil or achieve victory on him by any means, apart from hiding IN CHRIST


Jud 1:8  Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 
Jud 1:9  Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. 
Jud 1:10  But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. 

2Pe 2:10  But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities. 
2Pe 2:11  Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord. 
2Pe 2:12  But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption; 


As can be seen from above passages of the Bible, the writer is misled.

Okealaaye:
*I DON'T WANT TO BELIEVE THIS, BUT IT'S WRITTEN BY AN IBO PROF.*

*(By Prof. Ihechukwu Madubuike)*

*THIS IS SIMPLY THE REASON WHY HAUSAS, YORUBAS, EDO AND THE NIGER DELTA MAN WILL NOT TRUST THE IBO MAN AT THE CENTER AND WHY THE HAUSAS MAY NOT WANT TO RELINQUISH POWER IN NIGERIA*

*Any historians in the house to vet this but no insults or character assassination please:*

*Forgotten History Of Igbo Tribe And Northern Alliance.*

*Do you know that when Tafawa Balewa was Prime Minister of Nigeria;*

*Chief of Army Staff was from SE*
*Chief of Naval Staff was from SE*
*IG of Police was from SE*
*Chief of Defence Staff was from SE*
*Internal Affairs Minister SE*
*External Affairs Minister SE*
*Education Minister South SE*
*Many other key ministries to SE*
*Parliament President SE*
*Unilag VC from SE*
*The University of Ibadan VC from SE*
*North resisted same at ABU!!!*

*Still, there was dissatisfaction by SE, the officers from the region killed this same Balewa!!!*

*Out of all the most senior officers in Nigeria, SE has 37, none was killed. 8 from the north, all of them were killed. 10 from the west, 2 were killed.*

*Then Ironsi imposed a unitary system of government on the country so that everything can belong to a region who snatched it!*

*We must know our history so that when we want to make corrections, we will not end up concealing the truth.*

*This has nothing to do with tribalism but everything to do with the truth.....at times when lies litter the streets.*

*There is a tendency to think those are truths and facts.*

*What follows are documented facts that can be cross-checked for authenticity!"*

*Thou shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.*

* *“Prof. Ben Nwabueze was the man who drafted the constitution that took away powers from regions and handed it to the central government because his brother Aguiyi THEORY WOES IN NIGERIA TODAY:*

*The Igbo man is known to enjoy blaming the Hausa fulanis, Yorubas and indeed every other Nigerian tribe and Lord Luggard/Britain for their seeming claim of being in third class citizen status in Nigeria.*

*In their perpetual attempts to play the victim card, they recount the political events of Nigeria from 1914 to the present in a half-baked and highly selective manner which cleverly avoids the mention of the roles played by their elite who by all natural laws of judgement were actually responsible for the woes that befell not only the Igbo race but the entire Nigeria nation.*

*The story told in the post above is one of such selective and distorted accounts of history which the average Igbo man is fond of narrating.*

*However, the national archives have the complete and unedited history of Nigeria regarding the political events beginning way back from even before 1914.*

*I will therefore proceed to furnish my readers with the complete story for all to read and be endowed with enough facts so as to judge and act from an informed position.*

*Shortly after the 1914 Amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, it started getting clear that the country was bound to fail as the amalgamation in question was done with colonial fiat without the consent and consensus of the different tribes which were over 300.*

*This prompted the political leaders to start asking for de-amalgamation so as to forestall the future danger which the forced amalgamation portended.*

*To that end, Ahmadu Bello, speaking on behalf of the Northern protectorate in 1944 described the amalgamation as* *"The mistake of 1914 which if allowed to remain will ultimately lead to unstoppable bloodshed and a failed country".*
*Awolowo, speaking on behalf of the Yorubas and Western minorities, described Nigeria as a mere geographical expression not qualified to be called a country let alone a nation.*

*Awolowo added that if the5 amalgamation could not be reversed, then Nigeria should be structured as a strictly federal state so as to enable each tribe enjoy autonomy this freedom from being dominated by any one single tribe.*

*But Nnamdi Azikiwe, speaking for the Igbos, denounced Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello, terming them ethnic champions.*

*He accused them of nursing a sectional agenda against the unity of Nigeria, and he declared further that the Unity of Nigeria was non-negotiable.*

*After moving the motion for independece in 1953, Anthony Enahoro proposed that a secession clause should be incorporated into the future constitution of Nigeria so as to give legal backing for any tribe to peacefully exit the forced union if it feels marginalized in future.*

*According to Enahoro, such provision in our constitution would instill in all Nigeria's future leaders the fear of the consequences of misgovernance.*

*But Azikiwe, speaking on behalf of Igbos, rose against him in the parliament and labelled him an agent of disunity, and enemy of Nigeria.*

*At a later date, Awolowo too made a case for secession clause, but Azikiwe again resisted him and instigated the colonial authorities to threaten him and Enahoro with charges of treasonable felony if they didn't stop proposing secession clause for the future constitution.*

*While Azikiwe did all these, Igbos cheered and urged him on because they felt the future Nigeria was theirs to dominate and lord it over every other tribe.*

*Before independece, Tafawa Balewa too had in a public speech described Nigeria as a British experiment and Nigeria's unity as a British intention which Nigerians themselves don't believe in. But Azikiwe kicked and demonized him too.*

*Had Azikiwe co-operated with Enahoro, Awolowo, Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa about the secession clause, Nigeria perhaps would not have been this misgoverned.*

*For those in doubt, here is a link of one of the numerous instances in which Nnamdi Azikiwe fought against the secession clause proposal for the future Nigeria constitution.*

*It should be noted that there were many Igbo members of the parliament in which Azikiwe fought against Awolowo's secession clause proposal in the link above, but not a single one of them rose against Azikiwe or condemned him.*

*Igbos initially never wanted to hear anything like secession in Nigeria because they so much believed, though falsely, that they were the most educated tribe. (The first Nigerian tribe to produce a university graduate is the Binis).*

*As an evidence of Igbo domination agenda hence their initial resistance to the idea of secession; here are some quotes:*

*"From all indications, the god of us Igbos have destined us to rule the whole of Africa"..... Nnamdi Azikiwe (1945).*

*"It is getting clearer each day that Igbo domination of Nigeria is just a question of time"... Oscar Onyeamma. (1949).*

*As at 1900, the whole of the present Benue State, Kogi East Senatorial District and some southern parts of Taraba State called Munchi District back then; were all in the Southern Protectorate.*

*Whoever doubts this should consult MacMillan Atlas for secondary schools in Nigeria. With that situation the South had a higher population than the North hence always had an upper hand in any democratic bargain.*

*But as at the early fifties when the regions were being created, common sense dictated clearly that these areas should fall in the future Eastern Region.*

*But against common sense, the colonial masters decided to gerrymander them into the Northern Region.*

*While they did that, Azikiwe who was supposed to be in Enugu fighting against it as the leader of the East, was far away in Ibadan struggling with Awolowo to rule the Western Region and also playing the spoiler role against Awolowo's attempts to have Kwara and present Kogi Yorubas carved into the Western Region from the North which was already too large by landmass.*

*While he abandoned his burning house and was far away in Ibadan struggling against Awolowo for his own (Awolowo's) region, Igbos saw absolutely nothing wrong with that. Rather they applauded him as a nationalist.*

*A nationalist whose house was burning yet busy chasing rats in a far away land.*

*When opinions became unanimous that Lord Luggard and his government must be forced out of Nigeria and indeed the whole of Africa, it was still the Igbos that frustrated the attempts.*

*Here is how:*

*In 1948, Anthony Enahoro organized an anti-colonization symposium in Lagos for which Azikiwe and some other Igbos had agreed to deliver the keynote address.*

*But when the D-day came, Azikiwe was nowhere to be found as he deliberately disappeared into thin air for fear of being arrested and dealt with by Lord Luggard.*

*Anthony Enahoro then quickly replaced Azikiwe with another person who did the job improptu but perfectly well as he lambasted and lampooned Lord Luggard and the British Government.*

*However, the British soldiers invaded the symposium venue, arrested the speaker and Enahoro and jailed them for treasonable felony. Ironically, the next day Azikiwe came out of hiding and granted a radio interview in which he accused Enahoro and the other organizers of suffering from youthful exhuberance.*

*On regaining his freedom few weeks later and being told of Azikiwe's radio interview, Enahoro resigned from his post as Editor of Azikiwe's newspaper - The West African Pilot.*

*Then he wrote a book titled "Nnamdi Azikiwe: Sinner of Saint". After launching the book, Enahoro left Azikiwe's party - the NCNC, and moved over to Awolowo's Action Group.*

*The first military coup in Nigeria was carried out by majority of Igbo army officers.*

*That was the coup that truncated democracy just six years post Independence and led to a succession of coups which put the country on the reverse gear for 33 years.*

*Through that first coup, those Igbo army officers who accused the politicians and government of the day of monumental corruption, killed the political leaders of the Northern, Western and Midwestern Regions but allowed all Igbo political figures to escape by tipping them off prior to the D-Day.*

*In addition to the killing of political figures, they also killed a total of 27 innocent high ranking military officers from every region except their Eastern Region.*

*In the end an Igbo man called Aguiyi Ironsi, who was supposed to have been killed alongside other military officers, ended up becoming the new military ruler of Nigeria. Rather than immediately arrest and punish the coup plotters, he kept them in detention where they were treated as heroes.*

*This was actually what sowed the seed for the eventual Biafra War. On the 23rd of February 1966 (i.e. a month and 8 days after the first coup porpularly but wrongly known as Nzeogwu coup, an Ijaw born Army officer called Isaac Adaka Boro who hailed from Kaima town of present Bayelsa State, declared the secession of the Niger Delta Republic in an attempt to free his Ijaw people from the monumental marginalization they had been suffering under Igbos in the old Eastern Region.*

*But Aguiyi Ironsi immediately ordered Colonel Odumegwu Ojukwu to arrest him and hand him over to the military high command under him in Lagos. Ojukwu went all out against Isaac Adaka Boro with federal military might and within 12 fighting days killed 150 Isaac Boro's soldiers, arrested him, stripped him naked, and had him driven to Lagos and handed to Ironsi who immediately charged him to court and within two months secured against him a conviction of treasonable felony for which he was sentenced to death by hanging fixed for December that year by the Supreme Court. His 'crime' was that he declared secession of The Niger Delta Republic from Nigeria. Meanwhile the Igbo coupists who shed innocent blood of other tribes and even sprayed bullets into the bellies of the pregnant wives of Ahmadu Bello and Brigadier Shodeinde were not charged to court or arraigned before any military tribunal.*

*Isaac Adaka Boro was in detention waiting for December to come for him to join his ancestors. But God so kind, a revenge coup happened on July 29 by Northern soldiers and Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over and released Isaac Adaka Boro unconditionally, reinstated him into the Army with his previous rank.*

*Then on May 30, 1967, Ojukwu too declared secession of Biafra Republic from Nigeria and without consulting or apologising to Isaac Boro, drew a Biafra map which included the very areas that made up Isaac Adaka Boro's earlier declared Niger Delta Republic for which he fought against him and killed his soldiers. Seeing such level of arrogance in Ojukwu, Isaac Boro asked Gowon to provide arms for him to crush Biafra by fighting on the Nigerian side in vengeance for Ojukwu's frustration of his own secession declaration 15 months earlier.*

*Isaac Boro, as an Ijaw man conversant with the waterways, led the Nigeria Army through the coastal areas into Igboland to finish off thousands of Ojukwu's soldiers thus leading to the crushing defeat of Biafra. But today, Igbos accuse Ijaws of betraying them in the war. But from the facts as above, who really betrayed the other in all honesty? Be the judge. Why Gowon fought against Ojukwu's declaration of Biafra was as follows:*

*After Ironsi and Ojukwu successfully crushed Isaac Boro's Niger Delta Republic declaration, Ironsi immediately proceeded to promulgate the Anti-secession Decree which made the mere mention of secession from Nigeria punishable with death by hanging.*

*Ojukwu openly supported and endorsed the decree despite disapproval of it by the general public. So when Ojukwu later declared Biafra secession, he was reminded of the Anti-secession Decree made by him and his brother Ironsi.*

*Igbos frequently reference Aburi Accord to create the impression that the rest of Nigerian tribes don't honour agreements. This is a very dishonest narrative from Igbos.*

*First and foremost Aburi Accord was organized by soldiers and unelected civil servants who should not participate in political exercises like making laws due to the civil service anonymity principle. Secondly, those civil servants and military men in attendance were not elected by their federal constituencies to the Aburi summit. In the philosophy of democracy the only universally acceptable way of making laws is through duly elected representatives of the people. But in going to Aburi the peoples' representatives duly elected in the 1965 elections were all sidelined for soldiers to hijack the process. Where on earth do soldiers make laws for the people? Rather, the civilian populace makes laws that guide the military. Aburi Accord therefore had no seal of the people's sovereignty hence it was an illegality which shouldn't have been allowed to stand.*

*Thirdly, in 1957, Nigerians from all federal constituencies democratically elected representatives whom they sponsored to London, paid their flight tickets and hotel accommodation for the Independence constitutional conference.*

*Those representatives all resolved and agreed on federalism marked by regional autonomy and resource control in the Independence Constitution which they brought back home and everyone accepted it.*

*In that constitution, Nigerians all agreed that on no account shall the military take over power. It was also clearly stated in it that ammendments to it could be done by only democratically elected representatives.*

*That constitution was the first ever agreement between all Nigerians.*

*On the day of his inauguration as the Army GoC, Aguiyi Ironsi stood before the whole world and with his own mouth swore to protect and defend that sovereign Independence constitution regardless of the circumstances that may later arise.*

*But just six years after he manufactured an excuse to clinch power against the clear provisions of that constitution we all agreed to, unilaterally began to amend its provisions with his very offensive Decrees, and ended up dismantling the federalism and resource control therein, and ultimately subverted that constitution we all painstakingly sacrificed to draft. That was the height of Irresponsibility and the dishonoring of sacred agreement. That was how Igbos breached the first agreement, all Nigerians, ever all mutually consented to, thus laying the foundation for violation of future agreements.*

*So Aburi Accord was only treated exactly the same way Igbos treated the Independence constitution agreement.*
*Obasanjo removed history from the school curriculum hence the reason why many of what we know of the eventualities in Biafra war were altered to suite their narratives.*

*Anytime i hear or watch NNAMDI KANU talk i never take it serious but only as a noisemaker.*

*Thank God for this author. The Lord will bless him for us all! Everyone needs to know this for real. Knowing the truth sets free. We need we as a Nation.*

*We need to face facts, admit the stupid errors of history and eventual forgive ourselves for the sins, enormous sins committed by our forefathers. Love covers a multitude of sins.*

*Very important history please read, understand and also share and encourage others to know.*

Another nonsense stuff forwarded by a brainless citizen of Nigeria. The writer failed to put into consideration the evolution of the Nigerian state.

Was there quota system in 1966?
Was there federal character in 1966?
Was there rotational presidency in 1966?
Was there religion/shariah in the Nigeria constitution 1n 1966?
Were there states in Nigeria at that time?
Etc

Please, endeavour to use your brain before forwarding a brainwave from someone who failed to appreciate historical times and seasons of Nigeria.
