The exponential growth we have in hook-up today is as a result of the rise in 'yahoo yahoo'....else, there is no reasonable explanation to why a civil servant on 200K salary will employ the service of a girl for 1 night and pay 100K...the demand from them is why we have an increase in number of young girls rushing into hook-up

Communion has reached an "Ebenezer moment" and must separate from the CofE and the Archbishop of Canterbury, says Dr. Stephen Noll

American Anglican theologian, the Rev. Dr. Stephen Noll, has declared that the Canterbury-led Anglican Communion is now lost. Faithful Anglicans must separate from the Church of England, the Lambeth Conference, and the Archbishop of Canterbury to preserve the authority of Scripture, the history of the church and the tradition of the witness so that the Anglican faith once received be preserved and revived.

He proposes a revived, reformed, and reordered Communion in a joint Assembly of GAFCON and GSFA leaders in Jerusalem in 2028.

[b]This proposed new Communion -- the 'Jerusalem Communion of Global Anglicans' or the 'Global Anglican Communion' --"[/b]will fulfil GAFCON'S original vision to be an instrument of revival of historic Anglican faith and mission based on the confession of the Jerusalem Declaration. The final proposal will develop further covenantal structures of governance and mutual accountability appropriate to a communion of churches," writes Noll in 14 theses, followed by commentary, toward reviving, reforming, and reordering the Anglican communion.

Noll believes his proposal of forming a Communion of Global Anglicans is visionary, practical, and necessary because the Western-led Anglican communion currently under the leadership of Archbishop Justin Welby is irretrievably broken with no hope of renewal or repentance.

A new communion of churches is necessary, says the author of two books on Anglicanism and a former theology professor who has taught in the US and Uganda.

The lightning rod issue has been the incursion of homosexuality (LGBTQI) behaviors into Western Anglican provinces; underlying it is the rejection of the authority of Scripture as well as history and tradition. A reordering of the Anglican Communion is now necessary.

"These theses describe an 'Ebenezer moment' for the Anglican Communion and propose a critical next step: a costly but necessary separation from the Church of England as the mother church and from the role of the Archbishop of Canterbury as a focus of Anglican unity. In truth, this separation has been happening since 1998, as Global Anglicans have begun charting their own way forward."

"Any genuine reform of the Church involves a threefold cord: renewal of faith and mission; reform of doctrine, discipline, and worship; and reordering of church polity at the local, regional, and international levels," writes Noll.

"This pattern was true in ancient Israel, in the early church, and at the Protestant Reformation in Europe and England. The challenge for contemporary Anglicanism is to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches in the context of Global Anglicanism."

Noll believes that plans should be laid at the 2023 GAFCON Assembly in Kigali -- in conjunction with the Global South Fellowship (GSFA) -- authorizing a working group to develop and present a final proposal for a new communion. The leadership of GAFCON and Global South Fellowship should produce a final covenantal structure to be inaugurated in 2028.

Noll is offering his proposal to Global Anglicans as they assemble in Kigali in April, 2023. "It reflects my own focus on the "movement in the Spirit" that took place in Jerusalem in 2008. It is offered as well to the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches, which will meet in 2024. The Global South Fellowship is a sister movement with GAFCON, with overlapping memberships and visions. GAFCON has contributed the movement's best formulary in the Jerusalem Declaration; the Global South Fellowship has approved a Covenant, which can serve as a first step in constituting a new Communion."

"I'm suggesting 'Jerusalem Communion of Global Anglicans' or 'Global Anglican Communion' as making clear the continuity with the historic Anglican Communion. "We are not leaving the Anglican Communion; we are the Anglican Communion!" many have said since 2008. Let's leave the historic name to Canterbury for safe-keeping."

Noll bases his vision of the Church triumphant in the penultimate chapter of the Bible:

"Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband... It had a great, high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and on the gates the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel were inscribed -- on the east three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb." (Rev 21:1-2,12-27)

This vision is defined succinctly in the Creeds as the "one holy catholic and apostolic Church." No one tradition, however ancient or however widespread, has an exclusive claim to this vision, but the Anglican tradition is one of those widely recognized and respected throughout the world today.

It’s often said that a lie told so many times, if unchallenged, may – in the course of time and generations – begin to pass for the truth. One of such is the terrible lie and brazen propaganda, institutionally purveyed (against the Igbo) since the end of the Civil War, to the effect that Igboland is landlocked or has no access to the Atlantic Ocean.

Just recently, this vexatious lie became predominant in the wake of the ethnic baiting of Igbos in Lagos following the dubious 2023 presidential and governorship elections. Igbo, a merchant race, is being taunted again and told to leave Lagos and its seaports and go back to their ‘landlocked’ homeland. In other words, Igbos are being told that they are trapped in Nigeria as if Nigeria is one hellish jail for the Igbo.

The purpose of this essay, therefore, is to rebut this fat lie with some simple historical, geographical and topographical evidence that are in plain view, if you care to dig into the archives or conduct some basic physical explorations of your own. In the same vein, those that mock the Igbo on this account might as well imbibe the truth and pedal back to reason and reality.

Suffice it to say that it is a profound tragedy that entire generations of the immediate post-civil war Igbos never bothered to check but seemingly swallowed this brazen institutional falsehood, line, hook and sinker. They never reckoned that it is aimed at frustrating the merchant spirit of the Igbo. A few older Igbos that knew it to be false just didn’t care anymore, having been weighed down by the debacle of the civil war fought by their generation.

What also unwittingly enabled this lie to persist to this day is that most people don’t take physical geography (or even adventure) that seriously anymore, otherwise they would have easily discovered that Abia, Imo and Anambra states have varying short-distance paths to the Atlantic through Imo, Azumiri, Niger and Urashi Rivers. Igbani island, a diaspora Igbo enclave, corrupted to Bonny by the British, is unarguable.

It’s not really rocket science, as you can easily confirm this if you know how to read Google Earth or you conquer your fear of swamp snakes and walk through these areas on foot. If you try, you will discover that there are many hardly explored waterways and slithering tributaries, including the remote reaches of Oguta Lake and Urashi rivers (at Oseakwa, Anambra state) that meandered through Igbo-delta wetlands to the south-eastern beginnings of the Atlantic waterfront or beachhead.

These rivers have varying lengths of short navigational paths to the Atlantic and in some cases, are far shorter, nautically (and even on footpath) than the Port Harcourt, Calabar and Ibaka seaports are to their sides of the Atlantic. Many of these pathways, including particularly the ones from the outer reaches of Imo and Azumiri Rivers, terminate at the Atlantic at no more than 15 to 30 nautical miles to the beachhead. [/b]To put it in lay language, one nautical mile equals 1.8 kilometres. So, all you need is some old-fashioned dredging that the colonialists did without a whimper generations ago. You don’t need to reinvent the wheel.

[b]Thus, the contiguity of south-east (not even the greater Igboland) to the Atlantic is nautically less in distance than the Atlantic is to the dredged seaports in Calabar, Onne, Ibaka, Lagos and Port Harcourt. If you discount the territories unfairly excised from Igboland during states creation and the damnable boundary adjustments that followed, it will be far less.

During his tenure as governor of Imo state, Dr Ikedi Ohakim singularly did so much to spotlight this matter in a bid to galvanise the federal authorities to build a seaport that abuts core Igboland. For the avoidance of doubt, seaports are in the exclusive legislative list of the constitution and therefore outside the legislative reach of the states.

To be sure, Ikwerre land or Igweocha which bears the greater portions of the Port Harcourt seaport was dredged up to 50 miles to the Atlantic front through the Bonny River. Onne seaport was dredged up to 60 miles to the Atlantic and Calabar seaport was partially dredged some 45 nautical miles to the Atlantic. Ibaka seaport is about 30 nautical miles to the Atlantic and the Lagos seaport dredged up to about 50 nautical miles to the Atlantic. This is not to say that some dredging was not easier or harder than the other.

Compare all these to Obuaku in Abia state, which is only 25 nautical miles to the Atlantic from the confluence of Imo and Azumiri Rivers, of which Azumiri, on its separate merits, lies not more than 30 nautical miles to the Atlantic beachfront. The less obvious one is the little-known Oseakwa (Urashi) in Ihiala, Anambra state which is mere 18 nautical miles to the Atlantic, all with its 65 feet of natural depth, arguably incomparable to no other River in Nigeria.

Additionally, what is geopolitically known as Igboland today is far smaller than what it was and is constitutionally supposed to be. As far back as 1856, William Balfour Baikie – one of the earliest and most credible geographers of ancient Nigeria, had this to say: “Igbo homeland, extends east and west, from the Old Kalabar river to the banks of the Kwora, Niger River, and possesses also some territory at Aboh, an Igbo clan, to the west-ward of the latter stream. On the north it borders on Igara, Igala and A’kpoto, and it is separated from the sea only by petty tribes, all of which trace their origin to this great race.” If you’re in doubt, google it.

But with that infamous post-war abandoned property policy and the egregious institutional injustices in the subsequent boundary adjustments, coupled with the widespread anti-Igbo gerrymandering, Igbos physically (and even psychologically) lost geopolitical hold of the delta lands that had vested in their ancestors for generations. It was such natural contiguity of Igboland to the Atlantic that enabled Igbo ancestors to behold the Atlantic Ocean and, in wonderment, they named it Oshimiri – The Great Sea or the Infinite Sea.

The post-civil war psychological beat-down and gang-up against the Igbo got so bad and institutionalised to the extent that some of the descendants of these Igbo ancestors (nearest to the Atlantic and now geopolitically lying outside south-east) are no longer sure whether they are Igbo or not. This is how the notion of Igboland being landlocked quickly gained traction and became a weapon used to mock Ndigbo and down their merchant spirit.


The most brazen injustice was in 1976 when the Justice Nasir Boundary Adjustment Commission made a deliberate business of carving out some core Igboland territories into some neighbouring states of the south-south. But they didn’t quite make an absolute success of it. They (luckily for the Igbo) missed the southernmost south-east lands that possess rivers and tributaries that meandered through slices of Igboid or Igbo-speaking south-south territories and terminated at the Atlantic.

For the avoidance of doubt, there’s particularly the Obuaku confluence in Ukwa West (Abia state) that flows through greater Ikot Abasi in Akwa Ibom state (which has slices of Igbo communities) before expanding out and washing into the near-reaches of the Atlantic. You can also reckon with the River Niger which remotely washed into the Atlantic through a vast network of hardly explored delta creeks and mangrove swamps that abut the Bight of Biafra, now officially corrupted to Bight of Bonny (that is: Igbani), after the Civil War. To be sure, Igbani or Bonny is Igbo, whether you deny it or not.

On a side note and in conclusion, it is pertinent to make it crystal clear that the persistent taunts, mockery and ‘ntoor’ that Ndigbo are hopelessly trapped in Nigeria because their native land is landlocked (Buhari called it a ‘dot’), coupled with the misguided refusal to build a seaport into core Igboland are some of the major factors that have justifiably agitated the average Igbo to the point of seeking an alternative to Nigeria.

Nigerians have been advised by Police to activate locks on their Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) cards.

Public Relations Officer in Lagos, Benjamin Hundeyin gave the advice in a Twitter post after the arrest of a syndicate.

The spokesperson revealed that members of the syndicate pick phones and discard them after removing SIM cards.

With the stolen SIM cards, they use bank USSD to buy airtime as it usually does not require PIN.

Hundeyin said the criminals proceed to empty their victim’s account one way or the other after gaining access.

“The only SIM cards the syndicate never succeeded with were ones with SIM lock. Activate your SIM lock today,” he urged.

There’s a sharp increase in unauthorised transfers and bills payments causing banks to issue reminders to customers on how to safeguard their accounts.

Could it be true that all Israelites will make heaven?
Father forgive them for they knw not wat they are doing...

ALBAWABA - As Palm Sunday and Easter are around the corner, two Israeli Knesset members proposed a bill to outlaw talk about Jesus.

Under the new bill, if approved, people who talk about Jesus in Israel could face jail, All Israel News reported on Sunday.

The new bill was widely criticized by Christians and human rights activists who described it as "anti-religious tolerance" and "Sick in the head."

Some advocates said that this bill could further anger people in Israel who are already protesting against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government due to its controversial plans to overhaul the country’s judicial system.

Furthermore, the Israeli outlet said that the new proposed bill could create a crack in the relationship between the United States and Israel.

A social media user criticized Israeli Knesset members for sharing a bill to outlaw talk about the Gospel mentioning the fact that Jesus was born and raised in the holy land.
