Israel wants to control the middle East very small but powerful.

According to Punch, Sokoto-based Islamic cleric Sheikh Bello Yabo has claimed that President Bola Tinubu admitted to clerics and traditional rulers that he used his personal funds to secure the presidency. In a recent video of one of his sermons, Yabo recounted Tinubu’s disclosure during a meeting at the villa last week.

“Tinubu has really impressed me; he invited all the traditional rulers from the North, West, and East and told them bluntly that ‘I bought this seat I’m on with money,’” Yabo stated. He praised Tinubu for his candor, remarking, “Tinubu has never impressed me like now for coming out to tell the naked truth. Whoever pays the piper dictates the tune; isn’t Tinubu telling the truth?”

Yabo criticized those who sold their votes during the 2023 presidential elections, highlighting the fleeting nature of the rewards they received. “You have eaten the spaghetti and macaroni you have been given to vote, and now it is finished, it’s all over, so what next?” he asked, referencing Tinubu’s substantial campaign spending from the primaries to the presidential election.

Reflecting on the future, Yabo urged, “It’s all over now; let us pray and wait for the next election in 2027. If you like, collect his money again and vote for him, and I assure you, you’ll remain in pain, that’s all.”

Efforts to obtain comments from Tinubu’s spokespeople, Ajuri Ngelale and Bayo Onanuga, were unsuccessful. Ngelale’s contact was unreachable, and Onanuga did not respond to calls.

Tinubu’s remarks at the meeting last week emphasized his self-funding campaign, stating, “I have no cabal. I have no sponsors. The money I spent on the elections was my personal fortune. At some point, the odds were against me; banks were locked. But Allah, the Almighty God, said I will be the president.

Christians in the Middle Belt of Nigeria steadfastly attend worship even after Islamist insurgents have burned and gutted their church buildings. The Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA) ruins above in Plateau State was shot by Lawrence Zongo in August 2019. Forced conversion of Christian women throughout the Middle Belt States is evidence of systematic efforts to “Islamize’ all of northern Nigeria.

(Abuja) Mariamu Mathias, 27 and Cecilia Mathias,16, natives of Goge village in Fika County, Yobe State in troubled North East Nigeria, never imagined that March 29, 2024, would be the last time they would see each other.

Mariamu, 27, the elder sister to Cecilia, had hurried Cecilia to the local weekly Monday Market to sell bags of corn, a part-time trading venture that supported their living.

After commencing their day’s business, Mariamu asked Cecilia to return home and prepare for evening school. Obliging, Cecilia left for home unaware that it would be the last time her family would see her.

Cecilia as missing person

“Later that evening, when Mariamu returned home, she discovered that her younger sister, Cecilia, had not come back as instructed. A massive search for Cecilia was undertaken, but nothing concrete was found. The police in Damaturu, Headquarters of Yobe State was informed about the missing person.

After three weeks of searching, we gave up, Mariamu told TruthNigeria.”

Found in Muslim Cleric home
Three months later, Cecilia was discovered in the residence of an Islamic cleric, Sheik Usman Umar, who heads the Yobe State Islamic Council. Investigations by TruthNigeria revealed that Cecilia, 16, was abducted on her way back home from the market that fateful day. After her abduction, she was calmed down with assurances that she was in the right place. She was then subjected to intense Islamic indoctrination. After that, a “husband” was hurriedly found for her. He was a 55-year-old Muslim man named Mallam Umar Labi. Cecilia met him that day for the first time.

Muslim Cleric defends position
Fielding questions from Truth Nigeria by phone, Sheik Usman Umar said that Cecilia was brought to him after she willingly converted to Islam.

“She has willingly accepted Islam, and she is bound to be protected,” he said.

He denied that Cecilia has been married off to anyone.

All efforts by Mariamu and her father to get their daughter back proved abortive, as the Yobe Ministry of Islamic and Religious Affairs, Damaturu, is holding onto Cecilia.

“We have reported the issue to the Yobe State Commissioner of Police, and he has directed that my sister be returned to us, but those holding onto her have refused,” Mariamu said.

“As I speak to you, I have not seen or spoken to my sister in four months.”

The Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigerian in Fika County, John Mamza, corroborated the story of Mariamu Mathias.

“Cecilia has been kidnapped and taken to Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, and currently is being held by the Yobe State Ministry of Religious Affairs in the home of Muslim Iman” John Mamza said.

“We are told that she has converted Islam and that she has chosen to remain with the Government people at the home of a Muslim Mullah, but we are working very hard to secure her release anytime from now,” said Mamza.

Married Christian women Not Spared
TruthNigeria has reported that Muslim groups have been abducting not only Christian minors but also married Christian women.

Emmanuel Bulus, a 45-year-old Divisional Police Officer from Kaduna State, who is serving in Sokoto State recounted the day his wife was abducted:

“On June 15, 2024, I left for the office while my wife was taking care of the children. When I returned, I couldn’t find my wife.”

Despite his efforts to locate her, including contacting her parents and relatives, he couldn’t find any information on her whereabouts.

“I had given up on her until a strange number called me, and when I picked up, it was my wife.”

His wife told him that she had converted to Islam and would only see him again if he did the same, Bulus said.

“My wife told me that she cannot see me again unless I become a Muslim,” he said.

Since then, two Islamic scholars have been calling for him to come to a mosque in Karu, a suburb of Abuja, (Nigerian Capital) but he refused, believing that it was a trap.

Fortunately, Rev. David Ayuba Azzaman of King Worship Centre International in Kaduna intervened, and with the help of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Bulus’s wife was returned to him.

“I am grateful to Rev. Azzaman and CAN for their help in securing my wife’s release,” Bulus said.

Abduction of Christian women sponsored by powerful Muslims
This incident illustrates the growing concern of Christian women being abducted and forced to convert to Islam in Nigeria. They also get subjected to all kinds of abuses in the hands of Muslim extreme groups.

Furthermore, some state Governors allegedly have been involved in the forced conversion of Christians. Notably, the current chairman of the Nigerian ruling party, the All Progressive Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, was caught on camera four years ago using his office to convert a young Christian girl to Islam in 2020 and then held captives until CAN stepped in.

Courageous Christians Clerics confront the scourge
Rev. David Ayuba Azzaman, an outspoken Kaduna-based outspoken pastor, spoke to TruthNigeria about the widespread kidnapping of underage Christian girls by Islamic organizations in Northern Nigeria. “In most cases, the organizations responsible for such dastardly acts are agencies or ministries of the states of Nigeria that practice Sharia law,” he said. “

Azzaman mentioned that a serving Senator in Bauchi South has instituted a fund to convert Christian girls to Islam by force.

“The serving Senator of Bauchi South Senatorial District had donated a huge amount of cash to Islamic clerics and organizations to prey on Christian girls from poor backgrounds, kidnap them, and forcibly convert them to Islam,” Azzaman said.

Azzaman also reported a recent incident in which he and the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) intervened to secure the freedom of Esther Namba, a 15-year-old girl who was kidnapped in Zaria County (Kaduna) and married off to a man twice her age.

“It is also happening in Zaria County of Kaduna State,” Azzaman said. “Only last week, CAN and I had to intervene and secure freedom for Esther Namba, a 15-year-old girl who was kidnapped in Zaria and then married off to a man twice her age,” he added

Elder Benjamin Yusuf, prominent leader in ECWA Church Bauchi, North East Nigeria, told TruthNigeria about the abduction and forced conversion of three teenage girls to Islam in Bauchi between 2015 and 2016. The girls, Progress Jacob 13, Linda Christopher, 16 and Blessing Gopep 13, were later rescued.

“The girls were abducted in separate incidents,” according to Elder Yusuf. Linda Christopher, 16, was abducted on November 19, 2015, by Mallam Shagari in Tarsha Durumi village. Progress Jacob, 13, was abducted on January 3, 2016, by Mallam Musa in the Yelwa, Sabon Kaura area, while returning from church. Blessing Gopep, 13, was abducted in August 2015 by Iliya and Umaru in Alkaleri, Bauchi State.

“The parents reported the girls’ disappearance to the police, who investigated and found that the girls had been converted to Islam and were in the custody of the Bauchi State Shari’ah Commission,” Elder Yusuf said.

“The girls were forcibly converted to Islam, which contradicts claims that they had voluntarily embraced the religion,” Elder Yusuf emphasized.

Widespread Concerns Among Christians
There are growing concerns about the abduction of Christian girls and women in Northern Nigeria and their forced conversion to Islam. This disturbing trend has sparked widespread outrage and fear among Christian communities, who feel that their daughters and sisters are being targeted and coerced into abandoning their faith.

The Stefanos Foundation explored this threat through a ground-breaking seminar on July 23, 2024, focusing on the abduction of 16-year-old Godiya Musa in Kaduna. This disturbing trend has sparked widespread outrage and fear among Christian communities, who feel that their daughters and sisters are being targeted and coerced into abandoning their faith.

“If these trends are not halted, Northern Nigerian Christians may have to take extraordinary measures to stop the trend, Rev. Azzaman said to TruthNigeria.

They will say cultists ruined UAE but the king of cultism, Wole Soyinka is celebrated.

Some Nigerians live their chains sha.

A man that supported those who have ruined the economy and founded cultism is the one they worship.

I don’t know why some Nigerians despise good men, but instead, extol and elevate criminals.

So every Palestinians is a terrorist right ?

Israeli forces have eliminated over 900 terrorists during the ongoing offensive in Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah.

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi: “What we saw with our eyes … over 900 dead terrorists, including commanders, at least one battalion commander, many company commanders and many operatives."

Both israel and Hezbollah should cease hostilities immediately, a full blown war between these two will cause serious damage to both.


Hezbollah with nearly 200,000 rockets, missiles and drones of various types and ranges won't be easy to crush, de-escalation is what people should preach now

Lebanese army is another factor to consider, they won't sit back and watch Lebanon destroyed

The IDF struck and eliminated the commander of the Aziz Unit in the Hezbollah Terrorist Organization

Earlier today (Wednesday), the IDF eliminated the terrorist Muhammad Neamah Naser, the commander of the Hezbollah terrorist organization’s Aziz Unit which is responsible for firing from southwestern Lebanon at Israeli territory.

Muhammad Neamah Naser entered his position in 2016 and led the firing of rockets and anti-tank missiles from southwestern Lebanon toward Israeli civilians, communities, and security forces. Furthermore, Naser directed a large number of terror attacks toward Israel both during and before the war, and he previously held several central roles within the Hezbollah terrorist organization.

Naser was the counterpart of Sami Taleb Abdullah, the commander of the Nasser Unit, who was eliminated last month. Together, they served as two of the most significant Hezbollah terrorists in southern Lebanon.

That is why I can NEVER take any lady complaining of lack of sexual satisfaction seriously.

If I were a lawyer, I'll NEVER grant a lady divorce on the grounds of not being sexually satisfied by her husband. Reason being that most ladies have created in me the consciousness that sex is only needed by men.

Zxcvbnmghtr:
There is this salon I go to make my hair. In the salon, there was this young guy who infact is better than all of the female hairstylist. Very creative . He was a corp member of the NYSC. He was telling us his experience with married women who are sexually frustrated by their husbands. He got involved with them out of sympathy because they practically begged him with tears rolling down their cheeks for at least a smooching that will lead to making them feel like a woman. The first lady introduced him to her many friends who suffer the same torture from their husbands who have no time for them except from one business trip to another.

Their husbands hardly touch them for months. Sex is a big deal in marriage especially for we women unless you want us to cheat on you or seek for divorce, just like one of Dangote's wife did because he had no time for her and so she asked him for a divorce.

The sad news again is, majority of you men have refuse to give head abi?! Okay nah. Likewise most of you suffer from weak erection and have refused to work on your selves through controlling what you eat and regular exercise instead you are into sexually enhanced drugs which makes sex feel so awful and very painful like one being stabbed with a stick.

SEXUAL FRUSTRATION IS REAL AND IT IS DESTROYING MARRIAGES. WHAT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A HUSBAND IF YOU DON'T MAKE SEX AS ONE OF YOUR PRIORITIES BECAUSE THAT MARRIAGE IS WHERE YOUR WIFE IS EXPECTED TO FULFILL ALL HER SEXUAL CRAVINGS AND NOT OUTSIDE LEADING TO INFIDELITY.

Imagine comparing Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany in World War II to ragtag militia group like Hamas. The Senator should be ashamed of himself. Obviously, Israel is overrated. If they nuke Gaza, the world largest open air prison. Then bye bye to Ukraine 🇺🇦.

Am a good Christian but this tithe matter get as e be sincerely

Firstly, I don't know why the pastors don't preach about the 3 types of tithe mentioned in Leviticus, but singled out the only one that says we should bring a tenth for the Levites

Secondly, No Mention of Tithing in the New Testament
The word tithe appears only four times (Matthew 23:23; Luke 11:42; 18:12; Hebrews 7:5-9), and none of these passages are instructions for church-age Christians to give a tithe.

May God help us not to miss it by choosing ignorance or playing oversabi.

My church member who relocated to Calgary in Canada last month was shocked at the way their churches operate - a Catholic church, by the way. Surprisingly, they don't even collect offerings every Sunday.

Money comes in as freewill donations in huge sums and they only have offerings those Sundays they have special need for money; the reverend father would persuade and apologise to them because he's bugging them. Then, every Sunday, all sums received and spent are displayed on the projector for everyone to see. Everyone knows how much the church has in its accounts

When are we going to turn a new leaf in this part of the world and become transparent?

We the hardworking and sane Nigerians already knew who Ebola Tinubu is. We knew how he ran Lagos and the supposedly high IGR, hence the reason why we rejected him loud and clear, and they tagged us Obidafts. Tinubu and his family are bunch of greedy fellows that only think about what they can grab. Someone that denied his biological parents, his ancestral town and kinsmen, just because of material gain. If you think Tinubu is after the good of Nigeria, then you are the most foolish human that ever lived.

Let me ask you, why does Isreal not want Palestinians to have a country of theirs?

When a virgin has se-x for the first time with a man, the fact that the rupture of the hymen causes a flow of blood which spurts on the man's se-x-ual organ means that an alliance or bond has been established between them, and only death can separate them!

Originally, when a man has se-x with a virgin girl, he is expected to wash the blood of the hymen and thus bind himself to that girl by a wedding ring💍.

Many men and women will not fulfill their destiny because of the one to whom they gave their virginity.

It is because of this irrevocable covenant that God does not want you to lose your virginity before marriage.

When you have se-x with your partner, this is your way of saying, "My enemies are now your enemies, and your enemies are now my enemies; my friends are now your friends and your friends are now my friends; I will stay by your side no matter what, I will never leave you and I will never abandon you. I will defend you to death."

You now have one flesh, united soul and body! Here is what the Bible tells us: “1 Corinthians 6:16 ► “Do you not know that whoever becomes attached to the prostitute is one body with her? For, it is said, the two will become one flesh."

This type of alliance should only be made by those who are legally married. Whenever you have se-x with a person, you make a blood pact with that person at the same time.

When God made a covenant with Abraham, it was through circumcision which included a shedding of blood.

When God gave Moses the commandments and the covenants, the blood of animals was one of them.

Through se-x-ual sin, body, mind, and soul are linked. Everything that is in the man or in the woman enters the life of the woman or of the man. Through se-x, you sometimes receive all the iniquities of your partner's family in your life and even their ancestral curses because the life of a man is in the blood.
