Imo and cultists.....
Someone help me with that meme.

Ash Wednesday is one of the most popular and important holy days in the liturgical calendar. Ash Wednesday opens Lent, a season of fasting and prayer.
Ash Wednesday takes place 46 days before Easter Sunday, and is cheifly observed by Catholics, although many other Christians observe it too.

Ash Wednesday comes from the ancient Jewish tradition of penance and fasting. The practice includes the wearing of ashes on the head. The ashes symbolize the dust from which God made us. As the priest applies the ashes to a person's forehead, he speaks the words: "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
Alternatively, the priest may speak the words, "Repent and believe in the gospel".
Ashes also symbolize grief, in this case, grief that we have sinned and caused division from God.
Writings from the Second-century Church refer to the wearing of ashes as a sign of penance.
Priests administer ashes during Mass and all are invited to accept the ashes as a visible symbol of penance. Even non-Christians and the excommunicated are welcome to receive the ashes. The ashes are made from blessed palm branches, taken from the previous year's palm Sunday Mass.

It is important to remember that Ash Wednesday is a day of penitential prayer and fasting. Some faithful take the rest of the day off work and remain home. It is generally inappropriate to dine out, to shop, or to go about in public after receiving the ashes. Feasting is highly inappropriate. Small children, the elderly and sick are exempt from this observance.
It is not required that a person wear the ashes for the rest of the day, and they may be washed off after Mass. However, many people keep the ashes as a reminder until the evening.
Recently, movements have developed that involve pastors distributing ashes to passersby in public places. This isn't considered taboo, but Catholics should know this practice is distinctly Protestant. Catholics should still receive ashes within the context of Mass.
In some cases, ashes may be delivered by a priest or a family member to those who are sick or shut-in.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the Season of Lent. It is a season of penance, reflection, and fasting which prepares us for Christ's Resurrection on Easter Sunday, through which we attain redemption.
Why we receive the ashes
Following the example of the Nine vites, who did penance in sackcloth and ashes, our foreheads are marked with ashes to humble our hearts and reminds us that life passes away on Earth. We remember this when we are told
"Remember, Man is dust, and unto dust you shall return."

Ashes are a symbol of penance made sacramental by the blessing of the Church, and they help us develop a spirit of humility and sacrifice.
The distribution of ashes comes from a ceremony of ages past. Christians who had committed grave faults performed public penance. On Ash Wednesday, the Bishop blessed the hair shirts which they were to wear during the forty days of penance, and sprinkled over them ashes made from the palms from the previous year. Then, while the faithful recited the Seven Penitential Psalms, the penitents were turned out of the church because of their sins -- just as Adam, the first man, was turned out of Paradise because of his disobedience. The penitents did not enter the church again until Maundy Thursday after having won reconciliation by the toil of forty days' penance and sacramental absolution. Later, all Christians, whether public or secret penitents, came to receive ashes out of devotion. In earlier times, the distribution of ashes was followed by a penitential procession.

The Ashes
The ashes are made from the blessed palms used in the Palm Sunday celebration of the previous year. The ashes are christened with Holy Water and are scented by exposure to incense. While the ashes symbolize penance and contrition, they are also a reminder that God is gracious and merciful to those who call on Him with repentant hearts. His Divine mercy is of utmost importance during the season of Lent, and the Church calls on us to seek that mercy during the entire Lenten season with reflection, prayer and penance.

At about 9:45pm, somewhere around ogba, Ikeja Lagos State, a white Toyota bus almost burnt down an entire building. Thank God for the hardworking efforts of individuals around.

I was taking a wander down the road when this happened, it was rumored that a mechanic had worked on the bus during the day and perhaps, left some work undone.

At number 21 Yaya Abatan street Ogba, the bus caught fire which alarmed the whole neighborhood and triggered a massive traffic congestion. Even a driver had to immediately repark his car that was parked behind the bus immediately the fire started.

The neighbors around made sure to put the fire out, before the fire could encroach surrounding houses and shops. Lagos State Fire Service and other response came up later to guarantee safety and protection to lives and properties around.

Finally, it was only the bus and the roof of the building that got burnt, before all peace was restored.

At 93, Robert Mugabe Shows No Sign stepping down.

President Robert Mugabe turns 93 today, making him the oldest president in Africa — and the world. He's the only leader most Zimbabweans have ever known, spending nearly 37 years at the helm since independence from Britain and the end of white minority rule in Rhodesia in April 1980.
Mugabe is blamed by his critics, including the United States, for mismanaging the economy and making a once-prosperous southern African country poor. But his supporters in and out of Zimbabwe see him as an African nationalist who championed the cause of the continent and helped fight apartheid in neighboring South Africa as one of the leaders of the frontline states.
The nonagenarian has been endorsed by his governing
Zanu-PF party as its candidate for elections next year, when he'll be 94. Last Friday, his wife Grace, who's 51, told thousands of cheering supporters at a political rally in eastern Zimbabwe that even if her husband dies before the vote , he should still run and would win.

Let's take a look at some of his cheesy quotes:

1. You suckled your mum's breast for almost two years and bought her nothing. Then you suckled your girlfriend's breast for two weeks and bought her IPhone7.. My brother, the thunder that will fire you is called ancestral thunder.

2. Stupidity is when u lick a woman with your bare tongue and later sex her with a condom .What are u preventing?? Catarrh or headache??
3. Timidity is dangerous; Better to enter with boldness. Any mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity. Everyone admires the bold; no one honors the timid!
4. If you are unsure of a course of action, do not attempt it. Your doubts and hesitation will infect your execution.
5. How do you convince the upcoming generation that education is the key to success when we are surrounded by poor graduates and rich criminals?
6. Treat every part of your towel nicely because the part that wipes your buttoks today will wipe your face tomorrow
7. If over 15 guys have sucked your breasts, you don’t need to call those things “my breasts”, It’s called COW BELL, OUR MILK! – say after me, OUR MILK!
8. At the age of 18, you are using Gennicure 4 4 2, La Vet & other Virgin creams to make it tight, my sister at the age of 25 i think you would have to use safety pins and super glue!
9. No condition is permanent
Even a new generator which sounds like Celion Dion will one day sound like Shatta wale
10. Stupidity is when u lick a woman with ur bare tongue and later sex her with a condom .What are u preventing?? Catarrh or headache??
11. Some women’s legs are like rumors, they just keep on spreading
12. “It’s hard to bewitch African girls these days because each time you take a piece from her hair to the witch doctor, either a Brazilian innocent woman gets mad or a factory in China catches fire”.
13. Some of you girls can’t even jog for 5 minutes but expect a guy to last in bed with you for 2 hours. Your level of selfishness demands a one week crusade.
14. Dear sister, don’t be deceived by a man who text you “I miss you” only when it’s raining. You are not an umbrella
15. The only warning Africans take serious is LOW BATTERY.
16. Men sucking lady's breast is normal because the act was learnt in childhood when they were young but the act of lady's sucking men's d*ck is what baffles me, where did they learn it from?
17. Whenever things seem to start going well in your life, the Devil comes along and gives you a 'girlfriend'.
18. When your clothes are made of cassava leaves, you don't take a goat as a friend.
19. If you have attended over 100 weddings in your life and still single, you are not different from a Canopy.
20. Dating a slim/slender guy is cool. The problem is when you are lying on his chest then his ribs draw adidas lines on your face.
21. If you are ugly, you are ugly. Stop talking about inner beauty because men don't walk around with X-rays to see inner beauty.
22. Respect pregnant women because it's not easy walking around with evidence that you've had sex.
