Christianity Etc › I Threatened My Staff To Stop Going To Church Or Else I Will Sack Him, But by enemyofprogress(op): 2:43pm On Apr 26
I Threatened My Staff To Stop Going to Church or Else I Will Sack Him, But He Quit Instead - Folarin

Veteran Yoruba Nollywood actor Ladi Folarin has opened up about a past decision he now deeply regrets, revealing how it affected both his business and personal reflection on faith. In an interview with FeelRightNews TV, the actor recounted an experience from the time he managed a tea company, where a conflict arose between workplace expectations and an employee’s religious commitment.

According to Folarin, he had employed a staff member who was a devoted member of Deeper Life Church. The employee maintained a consistent routine of leaving work every day at 6 p.m. to attend church services. While this practice was important to the worker, it frequently clashed with the demands of the business, especially during periods when supplies needed urgent attention.

Folarin admitted that the situation became increasingly frustrating for him. Eventually, his dissatisfaction reached a breaking point, prompting him to confront the employee with a strict ultimatum. He demanded that the worker either stop attending church services during work hours or face termination. Rather than compromise his religious beliefs, the employee chose to resign. Folarin then proceeded to dismiss him.

Not long after this incident, Folarin’s tea business began to decline and ultimately collapsed. Reflecting on the sequence of events, the actor expressed a sense of remorse, stating that he now believes his actions contributed to the downfall of the company. He explained that, in hindsight, he viewed his ultimatum as a challenge to the employee’s faith and, by extension, a challenge to God.

His words; "When I was running my tea company, I employed a staff member who was a member of Deeper Life Church. Every day by 6 pm, he would leave the work we were doing and tell me that he wanted to go to church. Most of the time, we usually had supplies to handle, so I got angry one day and told him that he either stopped going to that church or I would sack him. He then accepted to quit the job, so I fired him. Shortly after that, my business crumbled. Later, I realized that I had challenged God by telling the guy to choose between my work and God."

Politics › Tinubu Offended Us’: Adc Vanguard Kicks Over Decentralization Of Federal...... by enemyofprogress(op): 2:28am On Apr 26
TINUBU OFFENDED US’: ADC VANGUARD KICKS OVER DECENTRALIZATION OF FEDERAL INSTITUTIONS
• Group fumes as Aviation College, Police Academy, Army Depots spread South; warns NDA may be established in the South

The ADC Vanguard has accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of “offending the North” by decentralizing strategic federal institutions that were historically concentrated in Northern Nigeria.

In a statement at the weekend, the group listed three examples:

1. Nigerian College of Aviation Technology, Zaria – For 60 years the only federal aviation school, NCAT now has approved campuses in Lagos and Akwa Ibom to train pilots and engineers closer to Southern aviation hubs.
2. Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil, Kano – Established in 1988 as the sole degree-awarding police university, the Academy now has a second campus in Ogun State to ease admission pressure and reflect federal character.
3. Nigerian Army Depots, Zaria – The century-old depot in Kaduna was the Army’s only basic training ground until 2024, when President Tinubu approved new depots in Osun and Ebonyi States to expand recruitment capacity and spread economic benefits.

The ADC Vanguard’s grievance: “These institutions were our comparative advantage. Now Tinubu is taking them South. If he is reelected, he may establish a campus of the Nigerian Defence Academy in the South as well.”

The missing context:
1. Federal Character, Not Northern Character:* Section 14(3) of the 1999 Constitution mandates equitable distribution of federal institutions. For decades, “unity schools,” military formations, and colleges were skewed North. Decentralization corrects that imbalance without shutting Northern campuses.

2. Capacity vs Sentiment: NCAT Zaria produces ∼120 pilots yearly. Nigeria needs 500+. Lagos and Uyo campuses double output and cut travel costs for Southern cadets. Wudil admits 1,000 cadets yearly for 200,000 applicants. Ogun campus adds 1,000 slots. No Northerner loses admission; more Nigerians gain.

3. Security logic: Spreading Army depots to Osun and Ebonyi reduces strain on Zaria, creates multiple mobilization points, and denies enemies a single target. The US has West Point, Annapolis, and Air Force Academy in different regions. No one calls it “offensive.”

4. Economics: Every federal institution = hostels, staff quarters, contracts, IGR. Decentralization means Kano still has Wudil, Zaria still has Depot and NCAT, but Ilaro and Afikpo also get development. This is shared prosperity, not theft.

Bottom line: Calling equity an “offence” exposes an entitlement mindset. Nigeria is a federation. Institutions belong to all 36 states. Tinubu didn’t move Zaria to Osun. He replicated capacity.

NDA South? If it happens, it will be because Nigeria needs more officers, not because Zaria offended anyone.

Christianity Etc › Rev. Dr. Osueke Passes Away In Prayer — Die&s On His Knees Worshipping God by enemyofprogress(op): 10:42am On Apr 24
🚨 Rev. Dr. Osueke Passes Away in Prayer — Die&s on His Knees Worshipping God

A solemn yet powerful image of faith has emerged following the passing of Rev. Dr. Osueke, a revered cleric of the Assemblies of God.

According to family accounts, the man of God reportedly spent his final moments in deep worship — kneeling in prayer, hands clasped, and heart lifted in thanksgiving — before peacefully passing on.

Earlier that day, he had led family devotion, shared joyful moments with loved ones, and remained active and cheerful. Nothing suggested that it would be his final day on earth.

But in the quiet hours of the night, while others slept, he returned to what defined his life — communion with God.

At about 2:30 a.m., his wife and daughter found him still on his knees… but no longer responsive.

A life of devotion ended in the very act he was known for.

Many within the Christian community have described his passing as “a glorious exit” — a reflection of unwavering faith, discipline, and total surrender to God.

🕊️ He lived in worship… and left in worship.

Adieu, Rev. Dr. Osueke.

Politics › Turkish Military Base In Nigeria: The Incoming Genocide Against Non Muslims? by enemyofprogress(op): 12:40am On Apr 24
TURKISH MILITARY BASE IN NIGERIA: THE INCOMING GENOCIDE AGAINST NON MUSLIMS?

Nigeria and Turkey have officially signed a defense cooperation agreement to establish a major military training facility on Nigerian soil.
On the surface, it sounds strategic: counterterrorism training, drone technology, intelligence sharing.
But let's ask the questions no one in Aso Rock wants answered.

🤔 WHY TURKEY? WHY NOW?
Just months ago, muslim groups in Northern Nigeria vehemently rejected a proposed U.S. military base, citing concerns over foreign interference and alleged CIA links to extremist actors.
Yet suddenly, a Turkish military presence is being welcomed with open arms.
Coincidence? Or calculation?

LET'S BEAM THE LIGHT ON TURKEY'S RECORD

History doesn't forget.

During the height of ISIS under al-Baghdadi, multiple investigative reports and leaked footage raised serious questions about Turkish territory being used as a transit route for oil tankers moving from ISIS-held areas in Syria.
Former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad publicly accused Turkey of supporting terrorist factions operating in Syria—a tension that defined Ankara-Damascus relations for years, until Assad was removed by a Turkish sponsored terrorist groups.
Whether you view these as proven facts or contested allegations, one thing is clear: Turkey's regional so called security is to further an Islamic agenda with no clear pattern.

THE 2027 ELECTORAL CALCULUS

Let's be honest about Nigerian politics.

The timing of this agreement—announced during President Tinubu's state visit to Ankara raises eyebrows. With elections on the horizon, this defense deal is not about national security? it is a strategic way of appealing to the Muslims north for vote, GUMI repeatedly told the federal govt to bring in Turkish troops instead of America, unfortunately, the president now take directives from GUMI, all in the name of winning the Muslim votes.

THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE TURKISH BASE ON CHRISTIANS IN THE NORTH AND MIDDLE BELT?

This is where silence becomes complicity.

For years, Christian communities in Northern Nigeria and the Middle Belt have faced targeted violence—farmers displaced, churches burned, families living in fear.

If the Turkish military base is introduced without clear, enforceable safeguards for all Nigerians—regardless of faith—it risks deepening existing tensions rather than resolving them.

Turkey often align with it Muslims brothers, we've seen it through their rhetorics and other campaigns, this could be a clear attempt to wipe out non Muslims from the middle belt.

TINUBU IS PLAYING WITH FIRE

I'll say it plainly: Desperation for the northern Muslim votes is driving the president out of control and has cloud his ability to reason.
Placating people religious extremes is Tantamount to putting your hands in a fire.

FINAL THOUGHT
Nigeria doesn't need foreign bases. We need homegrown security solutions to tackle our terrorism. If turkey wants to help, it should be limited to surveillance and drone training, NOT TO BUILD A BASE.
