I would say yes, if the junta boys keep improving the country economically. Truly, democracy is not working in West Africa. It only enrich the politicians and their corrupt cronies.

See what UK has turn to since Tony Blair left as the Prime Minister 😢

Ode!

OredoPikin2:
Is your President not a fraud

You don't know anything. Pray you don't see the fight of the dead. Especially when they are on a mission of revenge 😔

Stanna2025:
Nonsense waste of time.... The dead knows absolutely nothing. Don't be deceived by demons who take the form of people when they die to prove a point. If the dead knows something my grand mum should be sending down bags of money on weekly basis and no one would lack food to eat

.....with this headline. It shows she is a fraud. There's no 2 ways to it

......been there. Tasted both (UK & Canada). The truth is for younger once who are determine to make it in life and are not lazy, UK is better. Canada is equally good, if not for the cold and the limitation of jobs. But UK, like someone mentioned up there that you avoid big cities..I think is worth exploring for younger people between 20 - 35/40. And truly, these days, to secure a permanent resident paper, no he moinmoin ooo. If not for language barrier, there are more better countries in Europe than UK though. For me, I still prefer living in Europe than either America or Canada.

“He said, ‘It is finished!’” John 19:30

In Old Testament times, you received forgiveness from God by bringing a sacrificial lamb to the altar, where a priest would shed its blood and offer it as atonement. The first person in Scripture to do this was Cain’s brother, Abel (See Genesis 4:4). When Solomon dedicated his magnificent temple, he sacrificed one-hundred-and-twenty-thousand sheep and twenty-two-thousand oxen as a sacrifice for the entire nation.

In the Old Testament Tabernacle, the sacrificial fire was never allowed to go out; it had to be kept burning. The Israelites carried it with them on their journey through the wilderness, and it’s been estimated that between Gethsemane and Easter, no less than one hundred thousand lambs died, literally turning the Kidron Stream red. However, not one fluid ounce of the blood that was shed could atone for our sins. They were simply rolled forward, waiting for a lamb whose sacrifice would end all sacrifices, a priest whose finished work would atone for sin once and for all. And that’s what happened when Jesus cried, “It is finished.” In Hebrew, the phrase literally means “Paid in full.” At that moment, the curtain in the temple that separated the people from God was torn from top to bottom. As a result, we can now go at any time where only one man could go one day a year—into the presence of God, knowing we’ll be loved, accepted, seen through the blood of Christ, and deemed righteous. With that in mind, “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16 NKJV).

Michael Subomi Balogun: A true Christian who defied the illogical Abandoned Property Policy and became a billionaire

Michael Subomi Balogun was born on March 9, 1934 into a staunch Muslim family Ijebu-Ode. At age 13, Subomi discovered he “appreciated Christ” and converted to Christianity.

He was a 1956 graduate of the London School of Economics (LSE) where he studied law. Later, he was admitted to the English bar in December 1959. On his return to Nigeria, he was employed as Bank lawyer and given a house in Government Reservation Area at Apapa. His immediate neighbour was a young Igbo architect named Alex Ekwueme.

At the outbreak of the Nigeria Civil war, young Alex Ekwueme abandoned his house and moved to the eastern Nigeria where he contributed immensely in Biafra war effort. It was in Alex Ekwueme’s absence that the true Christian nature of Balogun manifested.

In the midst of land grabbing of Igbo properties, louts took over the empty house left behind by the Ekwueme. Balogun was not happy with the development and made an arrangement with police who helped him to evacuate the intruders. He renovated the house and rented it out.

When the war ended, Alex returned to Lagos and observed like most Igbo people that his house has been occupied. He decided to see his neighbour. When Balogun saw Ekwueme, he told him he was happy to see him and went into his room and brought out an envelope that contained all the rents he collected from Alex property and handed him to him. A visible pleased Alex was stunned and could only utter, “Mike, I am grateful”. That was how an friendship started.”

By late 1977, Balogun has founded City Securities Limited but felt frustrated after and decided to open a bank in 1982. He had the building but CBN refused to grant him license. Many people were against him because it was unheard of at the time.

At this time, Balogun remembered his neighbour who was now the Vice President and tracked him to the Christ Church Cathedral, Marina, Lagos on a particular Sunday. After the church programme, he and his wife positioned that he would see them on his way out. However, the people following him out and security blocked his view. That was when Balogun’s wife pulled the Vice President’s cloth to get his attention who then turned and saw his old friend.

The young banker then narrated his plight and told the Vice President how he had tried to see him and what he needed to see him for. He told him about his application for a bank licence.
“Don’t worry yourself. Just come tomorrow at the Federal Executive Council meeting which I would preside because President Shehu Shagari would not be there,’’ the Vice President assured him.

By 3.00 pm the next day, the Finance Minister called the banker on the phone that his licence was ready. And the First City Monument Bank became a reality on August 11, 1983

“Where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.” Romans 5:20

Just minutes before his final breath, Jesus cried out, “Tetelestai!” from the cross. In English, it is translated as “It is finished.” It was the same word that was written on receipts in New Testament times, indicating that a debt had been paid in full. Jesus’ death on the cross was the final instalment on sin. The entire debt for every sinner who comes to Him for salvation has been paid in full at Calvary.

Paul wrote: “Where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.” Did you catch it? “Much more!” The mercy bank is never closed. And there are never insufficient funds. The supply of grace is always greater than the demand of sin. The split second we confess our sin, a miraculous transaction happens. All our sin is transferred to Christ’s account and paid in full. But as good as that is, it’s only half the gospel. There’s a second transfer that takes place. All His righteousness is credited to our account, and God says, “Let’s call it even!” Paul explained it this way: “God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them…For He made Him [Jesus] who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:19, 21 NKJV). To be “in Christ” means we stand in His righteousness rather than our own. So, when we stand before God, we won’t have to account for our sin, because it was already accounted for at the cross. The Father will see the righteousness of His Son that has been credited to our account.

Time for him to go home. Omo Mummy....that befriended BAT. 😁😁😁

He’s looking for labourers

Thu, 2 Apr 2026

“Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest.” Matthew 9:38

When Martin Luther began the work that became the Great Reformation, his friend Myconius said, “I can best help where I am. I will remain and pray while you toil.” Then one night, Myconius dreamed that Jesus approached him and showed him His hands and feet, wounded by His crucifixion. He looked into the eyes of his Saviour and heard Jesus say to him, “Follow Me.”

Jesus led him to a mountaintop and pointed eastward. Myconius looked and saw a plain stretching away from the horizon. It was dotted with thousands and thousands of sheep, and one man was trying to shepherd the great flock. Myconius recognised him as his friend, Martin Luther. The Saviour then pointed westward, and Myconius saw a great field of standing corn, with only one reaper trying to harvest it all. The lonely labourer was obviously exhausted, but he persisted. Myconius recognised the reaper to be Martin Luther. “It is not enough that I should pray,” he said when he awoke. “The sheep must be shepherded, and the field of corn must be reaped. Here am I; send me.” He immediately sought out Luther and volunteered to serve in whatever capacity Luther desired. The Bible says, “When [Jesus] saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion…Then He said to His disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plentiful, but the labourers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest’” (Matthew 9:36-38 NKJV). The only “prayer request” Jesus ever made was for labourers to go into the harvest field. And He’s calling you to be one of them.

Gang of thieves 😁😁😁

Don't mind him....if he sees better offer from BAT he will collect sharp sharp.

sms4sure:
Even Rufai will soon join

They heated the oil until it screamed.
Not warm… not hot…
but deadly.

Then they brought in a boy.

No armor.
No army.
No escape.

Just faith.

And they dropped him in.

His name was Vitus.
A teenager.

Young enough to be ignored
yet dangerous enough to be killed.

He lived during the brutal reign of Emperor Diocletian,
a ruler determined to erase the name of Christ from the earth.

Vitus refused to bow.

Not to threats.
Not to fear.
Not even to death.

So they decided to make him an example.

They prepared a massive cauldron—
filled with boiling oil and molten pitch.

The flames rose high.
The heat bent the air.

This was not punishment.
This was a message:

“This is what happens to those who believe.”

They took the boy—
and threw him into the fire.

The crowd waited for the inevitable.

A scream.
A struggle.
A body consumed.

But what they saw instead…
stopped them cold.

Vitus did not burn.

Inside that raging death,
he stood untouched.

No agony.
No destruction.

Just a young boy—
preserved in the middle of fire.

It wasn’t just survival.

It was a statement.

The empire had power
but not control over life itself.

Though Vitus would later be executed,
that moment in the oil
became his testimony.

A fire meant to destroy him…
became the proof of his faith.

Rome tried to display fear
but revealed something greater.

Youth is often dismissed.
Overlooked.
Undervalued.

But heaven does not measure strength by age.

A boy stood where men would tremble
and did not break.

Because faith is not about how long you’ve lived

They threw him into boiling death
but the fire refused its assignment.

And his story still whispers:

You don’t need years to stand strong.
You need conviction.

Such a beautiful city before had now turned to a city of horror 😢. God will never forgive those who smuggled or invited bandits, terrorists and others into this country. The blood of the innocents will forever be on their head.
😭

What else do you expect him to build again?

Osariemen12:
Good for him.

Nigerians will reject Tinubu just one; certainly, he will not build anything.

She lost 80% of her hearing from a man's fist. Then she became the first Black woman to win Hollywood's highest honor.
Halle Maria Berry was born August 14, 1966, in Cleveland, Ohio. To the outside world, her family looked stable and middle-class. Inside their home, her father Jerome was destroying them one beating at a time.
Jerome drank heavily. When he drank, he became violent. Halle and her older sister Heidi would hide while their father beat their mother Judith — punch after punch, their mother's screams filling the house, two little girls unable to help.
"I saw my mother battered and beaten many, many years of my life," Halle would say decades later. "I made a promise to myself that would never become a part of my life."
When Halle was around ten, Jerome left. Just walked out. Abandoned his wife and two daughters without looking back. Judith suddenly became a single mother raising two girls on a psychiatric nurse's salary. Money was tight. Safety had never been guaranteed. And Halle learned early that fathers could disappear.
They moved to a predominantly white suburb. At school, Halle was one of the only Black students. She experienced racism constantly — excluded, called names, made to feel like she belonged nowhere. But she was stunningly beautiful. She won beauty pageants, was elected prom queen, became a model. At 20, she finished first runner-up in Miss USA, then placed sixth in Miss World 1986.
But beauty doesn't protect you from choosing violent men. Especially when you grew up watching your father destroy your mother.
The pattern repeated. Halle has spoken openly about being in an abusive relationship where she was hit so severely that she lost 80% of the hearing in her left ear. A punctured eardrum from being struck so hard. Permanent damage she carries today.
"I was in an abusive relationship," she revealed. "He hit me so hard one time that I lost hearing in my ear, and I've never gotten it back."
She stayed longer than she should have — like her mother had stayed, like millions of domestic violence victims stay because leaving seems impossible, because they blame themselves, because they hope it will stop.
Eventually, she left. A survivor of domestic violence. Partially deaf. Traumatized. But free.
Her second marriage to singer Eric Benét wasn't physically abusive, but brought different pain. He struggled with sex addiction, was unfaithful repeatedly. That marriage lasted from 2001 to 2005. Another relationship that left scars.
But while her personal life was chaos, Halle's career was soaring. She'd transitioned from modeling to serious acting. Jungle Fever. Boomerang. Losing Isaiah. Bulworth. Introducing Dorothy Dandridge — which earned her an Emmy and Golden Globe.
Then came Monster's Ball in 2001. She played Leticia Musgrove, a woman dealing with grief, poverty, and racism. The role required vulnerability. Rawness. Accessing pain she knew intimately.
On March 24, 2002, at the 74th Academy Awards, Halle Berry won Best Actress.
She became the first Black woman in history to win the Oscar for Best Actress. In 75 years of Academy Awards, it had never happened.
Halle stood on that stage sobbing. "This moment is so much bigger than me," she said through tears. "This moment is for Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Diahann Carroll. It's for the women that stand beside me, Jada Pinkett, Angela Bassett, Vivica Fox. And it's for every nameless, faceless woman of color that now has a chance because this door tonight has been opened."
She held that Oscar — Hollywood's highest honor — and she wasn't accepting it just for herself. She was accepting it for every Black actress who'd been denied. Every Black woman told she wasn't good enough. Every survivor of domestic violence who thought trauma would define her forever.
Even after the Oscar, relationships remained difficult. She had a daughter with model Gabriel Aubry — that relationship ended in a bitter custody battle. She married actor Olivier Martinez in 2013, divorced in 2016.
"I have not been successful in my relationships," Halle admitted. "I've had to really look at myself and understand that I had a hand in that. I had to take responsibility."
She's been remarkably open about her childhood trauma. About watching her father abuse her mother. About how that violence shaped her choices in relationships. About losing her hearing from domestic violence. About therapy and the long journey of healing.
She's used her platform to advocate for domestic violence survivors. To speak openly about the lasting effects of childhood trauma. To show that success doesn't erase pain — it just gives you resources to heal differently.
In 2024, at 58 years old, Halle remains one of Hollywood's most successful actresses. She's starred in the X-Men franchise, John Wick 3, and continues working consistently. She's a mother raising two children. She's a survivor who refuses to stay silent.
From watching her father's violence at home to experiencing it herself to losing 80% of her hearing to becoming the first Black woman to win Best Actress to using her voice to help others break free.
From a girl who witnessed violence she couldn't stop to a woman who survived violence she thought would destroy her to an Oscar winner who shattered a 75-year barrier.
Halle Berry didn't just become successful despite domestic violence. She became a barrier-breaking legend who speaks truth about trauma millions of women hide.
The girl who watched helplessly became the woman holding an Oscar and opening doors for everyone behind her./

How do we solve this conflicts in Nigeria if not by dividing this country NOW? 😭

Avoid comparing yourself to others

Wed, 1 Apr 2026

“It is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.” Job 32:8

Elihu suddenly spoke up in Job chapter thirty-two. It’s apparent he had been present all along, but he held his peace because he believed Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar were older and wiser than he was. “I am young in years, and you are old; that is why I was fearful, not daring to tell you what I know” (Job 32:6 NIV).

After hearing the long and meaningless discourses of Job’s three older friends, Elihu suddenly felt emboldened to speak: “It is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding. It is not only the old who are wise…Therefore I say: Listen to me; I too will tell you what I know” (Job 32:8-10 NIV). Then he spoke nonstop for the next six chapters. He no longer saw himself as a loser in the game of comparison. Feelings of inferiority are generated by comparing yourself with others. Or you go to the other extreme and finish up with a sense of superiority. That’s why you should never play the comparison game. Question: Can you recall a time when you felt so inadequate that you kept quiet and refused to speak up, even though you had a worthwhile thought or idea? You must realise that it is not your ability that determines your success, but “the breath of the Almighty, that gives [you] understanding.” The secret of success is drawing daily on God’s enabling power. When you become persuaded of this truth, you will be able to take on new levels of risk and responsibility without fear of failure.

Happy New Month.... April will be a fulfilling month to us in Jesus name 🙏

Good radiance to bad rubbish 😔

True.....reason why we in Ogun State always put pressure on our governor to smart up. After Lagos, it's Ogun State in proximity to the harbour and other things.
It's just a pity that we don't have good leaders in Ogun State 😢

Demonstrating God’s kingdom where you live

“Your kingdom come.” Matthew 6:10

Every time you are in conflict with someone, but you go to them and seek reconciliation and forgiveness—the kingdom is breaking into this world. Every time you have a chunk of money and decide to give significantly to somebody who is hungry or homeless or poor—the kingdom is breaking into the world. Any time someone has an addiction and wants to partner with God so much that they are willing to get help from a loving community—the kingdom is breaking into the world.

Every time a workaholic parent decides to stop idolising their job, rearranges their life, and begins to love and care for the family entrusted to them—the kingdom is breaking into the world. Every time you include someone who’s lonely, every time you encourage someone who’s defeated, every time you challenge somebody who’s wandering off the path, and every time you serve the needy—the kingdom of God is once more breaking into the world. Jesus taught us to pray: “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Notice He didn’t tell us to pray, “Get me out of here so I can go up there!” His prayer was, “Make up there come down here. Make things run down here, in my life, the way they run up there.” The answer to this prayer begins with you personally: your body, your mind, your appetites, etc. Then it spreads to your workplace, your family, your neighbourhood, your church, and your sphere of influence. And it all starts by asking yourself this question: “Where do I want to see God’s presence and power break into my world?”

You are a steward

Mon, 30 Mar 2026

“All things come from You, and of Your own we have given You.” 1 Chronicles 29:14

When the people of Israel brought offerings to build the temple, David said: “For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours…Both riches and honour come from You…All things come from You, and of Your own we have given You” (vv. 11-12, 14 NKJV). Imagine for a minute that you’re responsible for giving away someone else’s money. You aren’t allowed to spend it; you can only decide where it goes.

When you think of it that way, it’s not hard to imagine finding pleasure in playing the philanthropist. Who wouldn’t enjoy being a vital lifeline to those who truly need it? Or wouldn’t you sleep a little better knowing that you had made a difference in the world? Yet as a steward over what God has entrusted to you, that’s the situation you find yourself in. You have been given someone else’s money and the opportunity to decide where it goes. The only thing that stands between you and unbridled joy is embracing that reality and pouring yourself into the work of God’s kingdom in the earth. A farmer doesn’t acquire seed to consume or hoard it. He only decides where to plant it. And only after the seed has been irrevocably cast into the ground is a harvest returned. That’s how joy is realised. If you’ve yet to find your beneficiaries in this world, you could be depriving yourself of a joy you were created to know. Just beyond the fear that is dampening your generosity awaits a harvest of joy. Hence Paul wrote: “See that you also excel in this grace of giving” (2 Corinthians 8:7 NIV).

Perfect healing to her in Jesus name 🙏

Be content

Sun, 29 Mar 2026

“Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have.” Hebrews 13:5

People who were happy when they bought their clothes at thrift stores typically remain happy once they can afford designer clothes. Those who weren’t are still the same unhappy people they were when they were poor; they just dress better. Learning how to be satisfied with what you have, and to feel grateful for it, starts with understanding what money can and cannot do.

There are things in life you cannot put a price on: good health, a family that loves you, the support of a friendship that has lasted many years, the feeling of accomplishment that comes from working hard and seeing your effort pay off. You cannot value these “possessions” in terms of cash. If you think you don’t have anything to be grateful for, consider the sound of your child’s laughter, the crash of the ocean as waves hit the shore, the unconditional greeting you receive each day from your pet, and the hug of a friend you’ve been separated from. Without these assets, you’re in spiritual default. These items are priceless and have nothing to do with shares or profits. When you add up everything in life, the best things are free. If you’re not happy with your financial situation, then you need to take steps to change it. That’s wisdom and good stewardship. But before you do, conduct an audit of your personal assets. Yes, enjoying the spoils of success can be exhilarating. But remember to appreciate the beauty of life as well; it’s free. And it will fill you up in a way that money and things never will.

It is well. But fuel rate had gone up everywhere in the world though.

Imagine? For what now?
