The situation has reached a point where the people are being suppressed. It seems that Tinubu is unwilling to face the consequences of his own actions, but eventually, he will. This is a democracy, not an autocracy. As president, Tinubu must do better.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Russia Sends Air Defences To Iran by blueghost(m):
FreeStuffsNG:
Iran practically is next door to Russia but US has to travel several kilometres to reach Israel.

There's poor strategic thinking if the support of US to Israel is compared to Russia supporting Iran, it is obviously skewed against the Americans and Israel.

This is why diplomacy is the best option and they should have seen this strategic disadvantage before murdering of Haniyeh.
You are very ignorant. the USA maintains over 700 military bases around the world and the only country to have military base in each continent. There is no Military on earth that can match the robust logistics of the USA Military. USA alone has 11 Aircraft carrier that is even robust with firepower than most country airforce.
Little did you even know that Israel alone is a Military base of the USA. The largest U.S. base in the Middle East is located in Qatar, known as Al Udeid Air Base . Other countries where the U.S. has a presence include Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Christianity Etc › History Of Evangelical Church Winning All(ecwa) by blueghost(op): 9:42pm On Aug 06, 2024
ECWA is one of the largest church denominations in Nigeria, reaching about five million people. Its registered Head Headquarters office is situated at No 1 Noad Avenue, Jos, Nigeria. ECWA is a partner church of the international Christian Mission Organization: Serving In Mission. (SIM, formerly Sudan Interior Mission). It was founded in 1954 when the SIM-related churches (initially in Nigeria) came together to form an indigenous body. Since that time, mission stations, Bible Schools, academic schools, and medical programs have been transferred to ECWA leadership.

Throughout Nigeria but especially in the central regions, ECWA churches are growing rapidly. Some churches have experienced as much as 400% growth in the last several years.2 Churches in the Northern (traditionally more Islamic) parts of the country are also growing. There are currently more than five thousand ECWA congregations with more than five million attendees and a church membership of over three million people. ECWA has started three Theological Seminaries (ECWA Theological Seminary Igbaja, established 1941, Jos ECWA Theological Seminary, established 1980, and ECWA Theological Seminary, Kagoro founded in 1931), eight Bible colleges and fifteen theological training institutes. ECWA’s Medical Department co-ordinates a wide network which includes four hospitals, a community health programme with over 110 health clinics, a central pharmacy and the School of Nursing and Midwifery. It is also involved in radio, publications for outreach and discipleship, rural development, urban ministries, and cross-cultural missions. There are more than 1600 missionaries from ECWA churches who serve in Nigeria and other countries with the Evangelical Missionary Society (EMS), the missionary arm of ECWA

Meaning of ECWA

The name Sudan Interior Mission (S.I.M) was adopted by pioneers of a Christian Mission whose sole objective was to open the Sudan, the land of the blacks from the West to the East of Africa between the equator and Sahara desert, to the gospel of Christ. A month after landing in Lagos, Bingham wrote a letter to Mr. J.C. Hindle of Southport, England and said “… we have decided to call the mission “The Sudan Interior Mission.”4

There were times, however, when it was called by other names. In 1901 it was known as the African Industrial Mission. In 1905 it became known as African Evangelistic Mission. The name was again changed to the Sudan United Mission in 1906. The original name, the Sudan Interior Mission was reverted to in 1907. Reasons for these frequent changes in the name within seven years are not clear. The aim, however, remained unchanged at anytime; the sixty million lives in the ‘dark Sudan’ must be reached for Christ and this aim was resolutely pursued. The degree of its achievement was quite remarkable. By 1954 a move had been made to indigenize the mission hence the name; the name Evangelical Church of West Africa (ECWA) was adopted. In 2011, the Evangelical Church of West Africa was changed to Evangelical Church Winning All. The name reflects the evangelical nature of the Mission, while the vision that the work would extend to other countries in West Africa inspired its authors to extend its scope beyond African borders.

History of ECWA

It all started in 1893 when Mrs. Gowans, the mother of a Canadian young man, Walter Gowans, saw the vision of Sudan as a dark area waiting for spiritual illumination and decided that her son, Walter Gowans should be used by God for that purpose. She got two more willing hands in this regard –Thomas Kent and Roland Victor Bingham. The three landed in Lagos on December 4, 1893. They were warned by the Methodist missionaries of the dangers ahead but they remained undaunted. Bingham stayed in Lagos to get supplies from home and maintained contact with friends, while the remaining two moved on the Interior.6 Gowans soon died in Girku near Zaria on November 17, 1894. He was buried in a cornfield by his servant. Tom Kent was taken ill with malaria and also died at Bida on December 8, 1894. Bingham returned home. Mission impossible? Far from that –Bingham came back to Africa in 1900. He was again dissuaded by missionaries and by the ‘devil’ himself from making another attempt to the Sudan. He was ill again and on medical advice, ordered home.7 The two companions who had promised to carry on while he was away, could not make good their promises but left Lagos for home by the next boat.8 Mission impossible? Far from it.

Bingham got three other willing missionaries, namely: E.A. Anthony, Charles Robinson and Albert Taylor who were ready to make the third attempt while another, A.W. Banfields joined the party later. Also with the help Sir Frederick Lugard who gave them a safe passage, they got to Patigi to build the first mission home in 1901.9 There; Dr. Andrew P. Stirret also worked as a Missionary and doctor but within two years of the four missionaries –Anthony, Robinson and Taylor had died leaving only Banfield.10

1n 1904, the second SIM station opened at Wushishi was headed by Mr. F.E. Hein. In 1908, the third SIM station was opened at Egbe under the supervision of Tommie Titcombe. In 1912, another station was opened at Oro-Ago by Guy Playfair. In 1915, the Mission at Agunjin was started. From Agunjin the SIM Missionary work spread to most Igbomina villages. Although progress was very slow, the Mission at Agunjin later became the nucleus of SIM expansion into Igbomina land.11

Understandably, Ilorin remained untouched by the mission’s efforts until the early part of 1940s. The Islamic adherents in the town jealously guarded against any outside influence –particularly from missionaries –on the religion. The colonial government, in line with official policy in this regard would not allow the missionaries to operate so freely in a provincial capital and at the headquarters of the Emir. By 1942, however, the necessity to have a mission station where missionaries going to Igbomina and Yagba towns would receive their supplies became quite obvious.12

All missionaries passing through Ilorin had made use of a building belonging to the church missionary society which was formerly occupied by Bishop Smith. With the departure of Bishop Smith, the house was used by all missionaries as a Rest House. That building became inadequate for the SIM missionaries whose number had grown to the extent that by 1943 they had been operating seven European-Staff stations that depended on Ilorin for supplies and transport facilities. It became necessary for the Mission to apply for certificate of occupancy for land to build a rest house and accommodation for a resident transport agent in Ilorin.13

This was granted in 1943 and work began on it in 1944. Elder R.B. Buremoh was the main contractor, the Missionaries kept strictly to the purposes the buildings were put up for as contained on the certificate of occupancy. No attempt was made to establish a local SIM church until 1946 when the move was made by Rev. C.P. Jenson.

Sports › Re: Olympic Games: Team Nigeria’s Bag Of Scandals by blueghost(m): 9:04pm On Aug 03, 2024
So many incompetent clowns in government that have no business being there, the recent developments surrounding Nigeria's preparation for the Paris Olympics have raised significant concerns. It's disheartening to see the apparent lack of readiness, which reflects poorly on our nation's governance and organizational abilities. The incompetence displayed by certain officials, who seem to have no business being in their positions, only exacerbates the situation.
The Olympics is a global stage, and our performance—or lack thereof—will be a testament to our capabilities and commitment. Unfortunately, as things stand, it seems we are on track for a major embarrassment. This is not just a failure of the sports ministry but a broader failure of the government to prioritize and effectively manage crucial national interests.
Nigerians deserve better. Our athletes deserve better support and infrastructure. It is a shame that instead of showcasing our talent and potential, we are likely to present a disorganized and unprepared front to the world.
It's high time for a thorough reassessment and urgent corrective measures. The government must demonstrate a serious commitment to excellence and accountability. Anything less would not only undermine our athletes but also diminish Nigeria's reputation on the world stage.

Saturnalia:
The Amerikan Politicians are helpless. The Jews have infiltrated & taken over every sector of the Amerikan Economy.

The Jews own and have majority of the Amerikan Politicians in their pockets.

Keep in mind, that Israel controls all FAA and NORAD encryption codes - through RSA.

*Israel controls security at all major US Airports - through ICTS.

*Israel has access to records of 90% of US private telephone companies - through Amdocs.

*Israel controls Financial market software and post-9/11 FBI wiretapping technology - through Comverse.

*Israel controls the software used by all key federal governmental agencies, including the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Naval Air Command, Congress, the Department of Energy, the Internal Revenue Service, NATO, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Secret Service and even the White House - through Ptech.

*Israel now has control of the computers at the pentagon - through CheckPoints.

*Israel controls Congress and the White House - through AIPAC.

*The upper echelons of the presidential administrations are riddled with dozens of Neocon Israeli-US dual citizens.

*The former head of Amerika's Homeland Security is an Askenazi Jew (Michael Chertoff), his mother reportedly was the first woman Mossad agent.

*The CIA is infested at virtually all levels with US-paid Israeli nationals and US-Israeli dual citizens.

So the Amerikan Politicians are really helpless - Yes, including Donald Trump.

But among the Politicians, Donald Trump is the only Amerikan Savior driven by the love to reposition & restore the “Lost Glory of Amerika” but I do not want him to win so that The United Snakes of Amerika can reap the harvests of all the Evil she has sown & perpetrated all over the continents of the World - most especially for killing Muammar Gaddafi of Libya.
Very good research i love what you put out, i checked all of them, they are on point especially AIPAC. the membership is even $1600 and is pro Israel movement in congress to lobby US government
