For those asking where PYO will get the 100 Million Naira to buy the APC nomination form, I can reliabiy inform you some members of the RCCG Olive Tree Parish, Banana Island, Ikoyi Lagos, where Osinbajo formerly pastored, have made commitments to purchase the form the Vice President.


Those who spoke with this Correspondent in confidence yesterday said PYOs dream for a greater Nigeria must be actualized hence their resolve to pay the 100 Million Naira which they described as " Chicken Change".

" The Church is blessed beyond measure and the parish has enough resources not only to buy the form for the VP, but also to bankroll his Campaigns this electioneering period" one of the members said after Faith Clinic yesterday.

It could be recalled the APC has pegged it's presidential nomination and expression of interest form at 100 Million Naira in its recent NEC meeting and some Nigerians have questioned the Rationale behind such an outrageous amount of Money in this period when the youths are been encouraged to be a part of the process

How do you simultaneously tell young people that they CAN and CAN’T run for the highest office in the land? Simple. Pass a law that says they can (and call it a "Not Too Young To Run" act) but then raise the fee for the nomination form to N100 million.

Maybe we need another legislative protection called "Not Too Poor to run"

Peter Obi: Applying to Be Driver of a Knocked-Out Car
By Farooq Kperogi

I first took notice of former Anambra State governor Peter Obi when one of his videos trended on social media earlier this year.

In the video, he described Nigeria as a motionless car with a knocked-out engine. Instead of fitting the immobile car with a new engine, he said, we keep changing the drivers in a forlorn effort to get the car to move.

I thought it was the profoundest metaphor anyone has ever conjured up to explain Nigeria’s problems.

It’s interesting that Obi is now putting himself up as another prospective driver to move a motionless car with a knocked-out engine. Perhaps, he wants to be the driver who’ll tell us that we need to change the engine.

Professor Pat Utomi also told me sometime ago that during a public lecture, Obi was inspired by and cited the widely shared column I wrote on the nexus between political power and brain damage but that Obi wrongly attributed the column to Utomi, as several people have done.

Utomi said he corrected Obi that I was the author of the article titled “How Political Power Damages the Brain—and How to Reverse it,” which was first published in the Nigerian Tribune of July 27, 2019.

That the column inspired Obi, for me, signals that he recognizes the dangers of unchecked political power and sees merit in the article's suggestion that wielders of enormous political power ensconced in the alternate reality it inspires should periodically get out of the bubbles of power to feel the pulse of everyday people and have “toe-holders” in their inner circle who “can tell them uncomfortable truths without fear of consequences.”

This is not, by any means, an endorsement of Obi's presidential bid. It’s simply an acknowledgement that Nigeria has a virile option in him.

A Christian lady has been sent packing from the Gombe NYSC camp for her refusal to wear the Khaki trouser as it is against her faith. The lady was seen wearing long Skirts and posing for the camera before she was decamped.

Remember the issue of religion has recently been In the front burner in Nigeria since some Muslims have violently agitated and enforced the use of Hijab in most sectors I the country. This lady should be allowed to practice her religion. What is sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander

The Desecration of Nigeria's Ivory Towers Reached a Crescendo on Thursday when The Lagos State University turned it's Convocation program to a Tinubu Presidential Campaign Jamboree. The Buba Marwa Auditorium in the schools Main Campus, venue of the convocation lecture was seen littered with Different "Tinubu for President" and APC promotional Campaign Posters. This is so pathetic and pitiable. The VC Should resign immediately.

Why Defection invalidates the Mandate.

By Isaac Adebayo

08147018548

The Gale of Defections and cross carpeting of Nigerian Politicians from one Political party to another has become so cruddy, nauseating, and repulsive to rationality. These Nigerian Politicians have unashamedly made Political prostitution their stock In trade, jumping from one Political ship to another in the pursuit of their selfish political ambitions, and in flagrant disregard for constitutional provisions. Though defections are as old as the Nigerian Political system, it is illegal and immoral.

Regrettably, the Nigerian Judiciary which is empowered to interpret the laws of the land and declare such actions illegal has not woken up to its responsibility, until of course, of recent.
It could be recalled that the Federal high court in Abuja two weeks ago sacked the Executive Governor of Ebonyi State, Engr Dave Umahi, and his Deputy, who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress. The learned Presiding Judge ordered INEC to issue certificates of return to candidates nominated by the party that won the election in 2019, which is the PDP.

Also, just yesterday, the Same Court axed 20 lawmakers of the Cross Rivers State House of Assembly for defecting from the PDP to the APC.

The Constitution is very clear and unambiguous on the only condition upon which a candidate elected on the platform of one Political party can switch allegiance to another party and cease to be a member of his former party. Section 68 (1) (g) of the 1999 constitution provides thus
" A member of the Senate or the House of Representatives shall vacate his seat in the house of which he is a member of -
"being a person whose election to the house was sponsored by a Political party, he becomes a member of another Political party before the expiration of the period for which that house was elected.
Provided that his membership of the latter Political party is not as a result of a division in the Political party of which he was previously a member or of a merger of two or more Political parties or factions by one of which he was previously sponsored....."

Thus, a candidate is only deemed to have legally defected from his Political party to another if there is a grave division or faction within his previous Political party or there is a merger. The candidate will then have to resign and request a fresh mandate from the electorate. In this case, there is no grave division within the PDP as at when Umahi, his Deputy, and the 20 members of the Cross Rivers State House of Assembly defected to the APC.

Moreso, Section 221 and 222 of the 1999 Constitution made it unequivocally clear, that there shall be no independent candidate for any election. Therefore the only vehicle by which a candidate can be elected into office In Nigeria is through a Political party

It would therefore be constitutionally wrong for a person who was not sponsored by one Political party to defect and become a member of another Political party before the expiration of the period he was elected
The Constitution is put in grave danger and jeopardy when the will of the electorate who voted for a Political party can be brazenly Merchandized by Candidates without consequences.

Consequently, Other Political actors who have taken the infamous defection route to protect their selfish Political interests should be ready to vacate their offices soonest as their continued occupation of office will be a brazen breach of the provisions of 179 (2) a & b of the Constitution.

In conclusion, The Nigerian Political system should embrace values, ideologies and respect for the rule of law, as obtainable in advanced democracies, if our polity will enjoy the beauty of the Democratic system.

Some unknown gunmen suspected to be kidnappers in the early hours of Tuesday invaded the University of Abuja Giri staff quarters and escaped with some senior lecturers. According to a statement from the office of the Vice Chancellor obtained by UNIABUJA TV, the kidnappers overwhelmed the security operatives stationed at the Gate of the quarters and went straight to residences of their victims, and carted away a number of them.

The University Vice Chancellor Prof AbdulRasheed Na'Allah assured staff and students that all efforts is already been made to ensure the safe release of the lecturers, urging all staff and students to be security conscious and always go about their business with their Uniabuja ID cards when within the School premises.

WHEN A YOUNG PASTOR REFUSES TO BEAR FRUIT AND FAILS AT GOD’S BUSINESS

by Daniel Breakforth

And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
Luke 2:49

And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shall cut it down.
John 15:7

My brother is a Nigerian intellectual in the diaspora. Yesterday, he sent me a screenshot of the purported sack letter addressed to a Living Faith Church (LFC) pastor and asked me ‘if it was true’? I glanced through the details and asked him in return, ‘Is what true…where did the letter mention low income? The letter is true but the caption you sent does not tally’. He immediately responded ‘I agree’. I then went ahead to tell him an incident that occurred a few weeks back in the LFC where I presently worship. I will repeat the incident here but will protect the name of the Pastor in question since he was wise not to go on social media to copy an act which I consider one of folly.

I have been to 33 out of Nigeria’s 36 states in my line of duty and I make it a duty to always attend Living Faith Church in any place I visit. A few months ago, I visited Baga in Borno State and what welcomed me as what was left of the only churches in that town; burnt buildings of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Deeper Life Bible Church, one other Church and then the LFC. I avoided taking pictures so as not to rouse the soldiers I was travelling with. A few weeks ago, I resumed in a community of about 5,000 people in one of the South-South States of Nigeria. The same evening I visited the LFC and met nobody in Church with the doors locked. I came early the next day and to my shock, there was no Covenant Hour of Prayer (Early morning Prayer Hour). The same repeated itself on Tuesday and it was to my angst that I came to Church on Wednesday to meet an empty Church. I began to ask the neighbours and I heard ‘Pastor no dey always come’. I was told the Pastor leaves the Community to go on other endeavours for up to 21 days at a stretch sometimes. He did not come on Thursday, Friday and Saturday for the Covenant Hour of Prayer or even for the Week of Spiritual Emphasis and members too stayed at home.


Matthew 24:50

The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,

On Sunday morning, I came to Church and met 9 people. Living Faith Liberation Commission?? The Pastor did not come as usual. Instead he asked a member of the Church Council, a female student in one of the universities who was on holidays to preach on his behalf. I definitely would not pay my tithe here I told myself. Thank God for internet transfers. I asked for the number of the Pastor after service and put a call across. The moment I told him I was visiting, he got scared and I assured him that ‘it is well’. I asked him for the reason for his absence and he gave all kinds of excuses from being ‘very strong’ to ‘doing a side job’ to ‘lacking transport fare’. I was miffed. I would only see him 14 days after my resumption.

Meanwhile I started organizing the Church in his absence using my phone to connect to Canaanland every morning for the Covenant Hour of Prayer and we were glad to record 37 adults and 24 children (total 61) the next Sunday service. This man had been here for 2 years, the Church sent him to win souls but he could not operate in any kind of discomfort yet he was comfortably collecting the Forty Thousand Naira (N40,000) only monthly allowance with house rent to match. The question playing on my mind was…why not resign and pursue your other business or whatever was keeping you away?

I was still not happy and mentioned my concerns to a top Pastor of the LFC. I was however surprised to come the next week to find out that he had been given a ‘Letter of Release’ very similar to the one flying on social media. He did not leave before going on the pulpit to blast ‘Yorubas’ for trying to take over everywhere. He said on the same altar that his only joy was that a fellow tribesman and not a Yoruba man was sent to replace him. Church Gist. He came by me at the end of the service and told me point blank ‘I am not happy’ and left with the church offerings even after he had handed over to his replacement.

As at yesterday, some 5 weeks after that event, we did not have enough space (exactly 47 days since I arrived) in the 45 seat capacity church with some members staying outside during service. We have over 60 children (meaning over 100 now) and we had to rent a space to keep them. We have embarked on a mission to acquire 3 plots of land in the next 4 weeks and we have just paid and received a set of music instruments worth about N500,000 while transferring the older set of instruments to the LFC in the neighbouring community.
The Church is alive again!

All my brother said was the following and I quote verbatim:
“I just sent you what I saw on social media.
Even in a secular environment, he would be sacked.
If I was his boss, I would sack him”.

It is to me the height of ignorance, foolishness and wickedness for many who ignored the commendation by Bishop Oyedepo few days ago of a young LFC Pastor in Akwa Ibom who ‘engaged’ so much that he led over 100 villagers to Christ in a few months, to now take on them the role of advocate for a so called pastor who fails to deliver on his mandate. Church Gist.Was he forced to take the role? Was he forced to sign the bond? I am worried about young people who want to have everything and do nothing.

Bishop Oyedepo will soon be 70 yet he is still on the ‘go’ for Christ (his Father’s business). I do not know how many Pastors. Bishops and Archbishops or founders can dare what he does save perhaps his Father in the Lord, Pastor E.A Adeboye and some of his notable sons such as Pastors Enenche, Ibiyeomie, Komaiya and others. Even though he owns his own helicopter and has a private jet at his disposal, he has not left Nigeria in 4 years and is always found on the streets of Ota, a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria on a weekly basis winning souls to Christ. He always celebrates the numbers just like it was done in the Acts of Apostles from 70 in the upper room to 3000 to 5000 to ‘almost the whole city’. He celebrated the numbers again yesterday as usual. We know 16,786 churches were established in the last 2 years with over 16,000 new pastors employed, we know almost 15,000 home cells have been established in Lagos alone in 6 months, we know about 70,000 souls have been led to Christ in his weekly outreaches on the road while about 19,000 have been physically present in Church in 2021 alone. Church Gist.We know the Church has refused to announce that money be given towards the ongoing construction of what might become the world’s largest church auditorium ‘The Ark’.

These figures are what the Church refers to as Church Growth Index and not what any disgruntled ‘pastor’ may be implying. If the multitudes now choose to ignore all these facts and want to cry over some that were ‘released’ to pursue their personal call from God, it is quite unfortunate though not unexpected and shows that bitterness against the Church is at full bloom. As I always say, The Church of Christ can never satisfy the Gates of Hell.

I will build my Church and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it!
Matthew 16:18

Daniel Breakforth writes for Church Gist

It is on record that the immediate past service chiefs sacked in January , now ambassadors pocketed over 500 million US dollars each In their 5years plus miserable tenure . That's more than What Ronaldo has made in his entire footballing career.

HOW AND WHEN I AM GOING TO GO HOME WITH JESUS
-Kenneth Copeland

There is a time appointed for every man to die: you can believe that if you want to but it’s a lie.
The Bible did not say a time to die, you are trying to quote a verse from Hebrews 9:27 - “…once to die, not a time to die”. He has already given us the time to die and that time is when you reach that point and I reach December the 6th 2056, glory to God. I will be standing, I have already seen it in the spirit, I will be standing on a platform with Gloria by my side and there will be a great crowd there. I will be preaching, saying the same message of faith, I will be preaching Mark 11:23, 24, 25.
I will be preaching that message and Jesus will come, “alright, come on, it is time we are going home.” Church Gist.
For by His grace, by His Word and by His Spirit, I will have the distinct privilege of having finished my time on this earth, having finished my job.
God bless you.
-May this conference be the greatest thing you have ever seen in your life.
