Thank God

....and what has the man of God said now. Some people are just looking for ways to express their frustration. We live in the generation that sees bad as good and good bad

Emefieli your time is numbered

Until we stop voting party and start voting personality we will remain at the same spot in this country.

Peter, peter, peter,
How many times have I called you?
You are the reason why I will vote and
I will trust you with my vote please don't disappoint me.

The The Supreme Court has adjourned Judgement on a suit filed by ten states, asking the apex court to restrain the Muhammadu Buhari regime from fully implementing the naira redesign policy.

The court adjourned till March 3rd, after the Presidential Elections.

POLITICS NIGERIA earlier reported that the court had adjourned the suit on Naira Swap policy to February 22, to allow it consolidate all cases on the matter emanating from nine more States of the Federation seeking to be joined in the suit.

Nine more states were joined as parties in the suit initially filed by Kaduna, Kogi and Zamfara State governments challenging the legality of the Naira swap policy of the federal government.

A seven-member panel, led by Justice John Okoro, the apex court joined the attorneys-general of Katsina, Lagos, Ondo, Ogun, Ekiti, Cross River and Sokoto States as co-plaintiffs, while the attorneys-general of Edo and Bayelsa States were joined as co-respondents.

No more saraki dynàsty in Kwara...Amen

Except for banks, everyone is collecting it till this morning here in ikorodu. In fact no one is rejecting it as far as I know

Please to those who visited banks yesterday/morning and bankers in our midst, I want know whether banks are still collecting Old naira notes.

sunnymaja:
This is the worst that can happen in governance; for government to put masses in suspension because of unwillingness to obey court order. What stopped Buari from announcing after his 7days request that old Naira notes should continue till supreme court case is completed. Very sad, Buari disappointed many of us

Buari is confused

Here in Lagos, nobody is rejecting old notes

Glory to God

Then CBN should release the old notes collected pending when they will be able to have enough new notes

It's late to cancel the deadline. Most old notes have been deposited in banks already

Now that we have deposited all our old notes when deadline was dated 31st of January, that we can't access new notes, what should we do

lexy2014:

If new naira notes aren't available, how then isn't it an issue of deadline?

Is it not worst getting cash this week with 10 days extension of deadline than last week when deadline was set for today? They can shift the extension of deadline for collection of old notes by two months, with scarcity of new notes, we will still remain at the same point

The issue that needs to be addressed is not shifting of deadline, the real issue is the availability of the new naira notes

*ENOUGH OF THE MARGINALIZATION OF CHRISTIANS IN KWARA STATE
(A PRESS RELEASE BY THE YOUTH WING OF CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA, (YOWICAN), KWARA STATE CHAPTER, THURSDAY, 16TH JUNE, 2022.)*

INTRODUCTION
Our attention have been drawn to a letter written by the Kwara State Muslim Stakeholders, a deliberate attempt to distort the truth and lay unfathomable lies against Christians in Kwara State.

Firstly, we want to state that Christians are known for peace, love and tolerance, which is why we have always remained calm even in the face of evident and wanton provocation.

For the avoidance of doubts, at no point in its history has CAN or any of its affiliates engaged in crime or the use of thugs because it is alien to our religion and beliefs.

It is however unimaginable that the Muslim community will attribute such to us.

The categorization of Kwara State as a Muslim State by the Kwara State Muslim Stakeholders also affirms our greatest fears on an hidden agenda in all the crisis rocking the peace of our State.

It confirms our fear that the consistent attack on the Christian community is mainly for dominance. Without any doubt, Christians are not in the minority, and our gentility is not for fear but for peace and harmony.

But today, we declare enough of marginalization of Christians and say NO to the Islamization agenda in Kwara also already been carried out.

The letter written by the Muslim community is another of their gimmicks and their usual way of fomenting trouble again and create a crisis in our beloved State with no regard to its cost to human lives and properties, as seen in previous years.
We have come to declare enough of the marginalization of Christians in Kwara State and we declare that we will no longer keep quiet or fold our hands.

Consistently, we have made calls like this that the government consistently ignored. But now is the time to follow it with actions. We may need to take you through some of the injustices against the Christian community in the State.

1. It is a known fact that the Muslim community orchestrated the Crisis at OBHS to cause unnecessary unrest. But today, the oppressors are the ones crying foe. As we earlier forecasted, since the hijab crisis broke out, the aim is not for the hijabs to be allowed in school but to completely take over the missionary schools in the State. Now from hijab in Christian schools, the plan is to change the schools' name and then finally take them over. The plans of the Muslim community is to deliberately distort the history and heritage of these schools and the sacrifices of its founding fathers before finally shutting out everything Christianity in these schools. Schools have been deliberately deprived of Christian religion teachers while some of them have as much as five Islamic religion teachers even in Christian schools. This portrays a sinister motive against the Christian faith and its believers. This is a carefully planned attack on the Christian community and must be resisted with every lawful means. There is no better way to describe the ongoing attack on the Christian community than pure oppression and marginalization.

2. Presently, most government public schools like Ilorin Grammar School, Government Secondary School, Taoheed secondary school, and others have mosques built right at the centre of the schools, but where are the Chapels for the Christian Students in these Schools? Christian schools have mosques built in them, but may I ask where the corresponding Christian Chapels are in the Muslim schools?

3. Today, every government establishment in Kwara State has a mosque built on their premises, while Christians were left to meet under trees, which must even be before work commences. Mosque in government offices are allowed to use horn speakers, which are turned on even during office hours. This is a blatant disregard for other religions and even unethical for work. But in Kwara State, this is the norm. If this is not oppression and religious intolerance, then what is it?

4. Attempts to build chapels at the Kwara State House of Assembly and The Kwara State Broadcasting Corporation (Radio Kwara) have been vehemently resisted by the government. These public institutions have mosques built in them without any resistance from the Christian community. These are government institutions which ought to be neutral when it comes to religion but have now become instruments against the Christian faith in Kwara State. If this is not marginalization, then what is it?

5. As it stands today, to be appointed as head of any Government-owned higher institutions in Kwara State, you must be a Muslim. This requirement have been consistently carried out over the years as seen in Kwara State University Molete, College of Education (Ilorin, Oro, Lafiagi) IVtech Ajase-Ipo, Health Tech Offa, Kwara State Polytechnic and many other institutions of higher learning in the State have implemented this unofficial requirement. Many senior Christian officers have been denied their rightful position not because they are not qualified but because of their faith. This is confirms the plan against Christians and it future in the State. Unfortunately, the instrument of government is been used to execute this unholy agenda.

6. The request for the permanent secretary for the ministry of education to be moved is another pointer to the deliberate attempt in ensuring that Christians do not have inputs in the education system in the State. We will not want to look into the present structure of the ministry of education, the Kwara State teaching service commission (TESCOM) and State universal basic education board (SUBEB) as these are glaringly a show of pure marginalization of Christians. This is aside the appointment structure and even promotion which deliberately malign the Christian community in the State.

7. The Appointment of only Muslim panel of judges at the just concluded Kwara Youth Fair 2.0 is also another pointer to Governments deliberate marginalization of Christians. If a program meant for both Christians and Muslims is adjudged only by Muslims the result should not be a surprise. No wonder all the winners are Muslims. If this is not marginalization, then what is it?

8. The appointment of a Muslim commissioner from Ekiti Local Government area is also a big slap on the Christians in that community, solely dominated by Christians. This only points to the agenda to deliberately marginalize the Christians in the State and ensure they are edged from governance and administration in the State.

9. The letter written by the Muslim community also points to the non-inauguration of members of the Arabic board and inter-religious committee by the State government. These points to the fact that there is an existing Arabic board, can we ask where is the theological board for the Christians? If this is not marginalization, then what is it?

10. The letter from the Muslim community also points to the non-declaration of Muharram as a public Holiday despite Easter Holidays.

This just points to the fact that the writers are out to create confusion and crisis where there should not be.

Easter is a national holiday if not a global holiday. The question is why should Kwara declare a holiday that is not approved nationally? Have there been a time when national Muslim holidays were not declared?

Comparing the two dates is the writers deliberate attempts to cause confusion and also create hatred and disdain against Christians which may fuel another crisis in the State. It is a known fact that during Ramadan, all Government establishments are closed an hour before closing time on Mondays to Thursdays and two hours every Friday.

Why is this not extended to Christians during Lenten period? If this is not marginalization, then what is it?

11. On the issue of Demolition of Mosque at the Bishop Smith Memorial College, the information is just a fallacy and lies from the pit of hell, there was no mosque in the that School, except erection of blocks at the Space magnanimous giving by the Christian proprietor of that School, the Muslim fanatics enter the school and destroyed the blocks, saying Government will build a new mosque for them. People should stop listening to them they are only crying wolf

*CONCLUSION:*

The entire Christian community still frowns at the use of hijabs in Christian Schools and the request for the change in present appointment structure of same schools as requested by the Muslim community.

We call on His Excellency Mallam Abdulrahman AbdulRasaq to urgently correct the ongoing injustice in the State as we have stated above. A stitch in time they say saves nine.

Christians are stakeholders in the State and they should be treated as such.

Under-rating the will power will mean a disrespect to all Christians as we can never continue to fold our arms

NEXIT: Soft Loan Disbursement Process Getting Closser As Business Plan Is Adjusted On Behalf Of Exited Npower Batch A and B Volunteers

Information reaching us is that the NEXIT soft loan business plan is being adjusted by the NEXIT training officials on behalf of exited Npower Batch A and B volunteers, that is a good sign, infact it indicates that the soft loan disbursement process might actually be sooner than anticipated, after the adjustment stage of the business plan is the final submission stage.
At the submission stage the business plan is sent to the relevant financial institutions such as the NIRSAL Microfinance Bank for further scrutiny before it is passed to the Central Bank of Nigeria for soft loan disbursement to concerned exited Npower Batch A and B volunteers that have successfully completed the NEXIT soft loan training programme.
Exited Npower Batch A and B volunteers that have initially prepared their business plans should note that adjustments will definitely be made on the financial plans, working capital and loan amounts, every type of business differs so as the loan amount differs from one form of business to another, for instance an exited Npower Batch A or B volunteer that wants to establish a business in poultry farming will definitely not receive the same soft loan as an exited Npower volunteer embarking on an internet marketing business.

The only reason for me to believe this is that 2023 is approaching. Some of their promises could be fulfilled

How far about those who haven't been called for nexit training?

THIS IS WRONG PLACE TO GET GOOD ADVISE FOR UR QUESTION, 99% of the Counsels u will get here will be anti-biblical counsels. 1. Because we are talking about a Christian marriage. 2. the 'No sex relationship' is annoying statement to most people here

7 day dry fast, the first three days were hard, other days were not that hard

ThinkFreely:
Ignorant of what?

Ignorant of how God works. It's not man that will heal. God is the healer. He determines who to heal when we give him chance to do that

ThinkFreely:
What mumu permission?
Can’t they heal Ayefele and Cobhams?

How ignorant you are

I wonder what u people want, u were saying that men of God (God) can not heal Corona virus. Now someone is asking for permission you are still blaming him
