Through you, by us. Tell us, if you would not walk in the Spirit, that means if you will not live in truth how then can anything meaningful take place. Your flesh is zero and can online be controlled by your heart and soul. The body without the spirit is dead. How then do we expect to witness development, visible goodwill and courtesy when you have fully bloody flesh roaming the streets.





Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.


Listed above are they not what has turned the world upside down?? When you have folks acting and are being ruled to demonstrate these characters how then do you expect the world to change. It begins with you!




Folks complain and lament how God Almighty didn't take back the power he gave to Satan, oblivious of the fact that you too have been given power to walk on snakes and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you.


Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

Now, to accomplish this isn't by shouting up and down the street, screaming fire the whole place. The scriptures admonishes us to overcome evil by doing good and great works. Instead of acting in the manner that your flesh will be pleased, why not act in accordance with the Spirit of God Almighty which are listed in Galatians book written by apostle Paul, very influenced by the Holy Spirit to bring God's glad tidings.







Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.


But they folk's keep striving, fighting, quarreling with the Holy Spirit, including the so called preachers of the gospel of Jesus Christ.



Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.


And so they keep wrestling with the lovely, gentle, kind and, peaceful Spirit of the lord God Almighty instead of wrestling with the power of darkness who is bringing tensions and stresses into their hearts, their dwelling place, the temple of the Spirit


We live from our heart, everyone knows, but folks keep decieving their heart. Your heart and soul is now divided, there is no unity between your heart and soul because of the tension in the soul and the peace within. The day you will enter into rest then you will be 7. And you will know number 3 and number 1. The father God Almighty, Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the seven Spirit before His throne. The father God Almighty and CHRIST are one person.

The father in the Son and the Son in the father God. Indivisible..

Contrary to popular belief that president Mohammad Buhari brought hardship and pain to the country, facts on ground says these:

The point is that a party of incompatibles is like driving a vehicle with four flat tires, it simply is an impracticable proposition. APC today is a party with clear values which has PMB as the president, leader and certainly flag bearer in 2019 general election. When APC settled for PMB, it knew what it was bargaining for, perhaps some in the alliance that formed APC did not fully internalized this. To assume that PMB will depart from what he represents and believes is a gross miscalculation by those who wish to continue with the old order. PMB is anti-elite. He has deep contempt for the elite; he believes they are unpatriotic and the root cause of national collapse. He is not shy in stating this fact. In comments, speeches and action PMB has shown he is a strong believer in change, he is deeply frustrated with business as usual. He believes the common man has been shortchanged. He believes in retributive justice for those who sabotaged the country.

And so to think that supporting PMB to win office and that on his getting there he will trade away his core beliefs on the altar of political expediency is a mistake on the part of some persons. PMB did not run for office as a politician but as a statesman. Next election was not his overriding concern but the next generation. Nigeria had been run down and needs to be revived by introducing progressive change. PMB type of change demands hard work, discipline, honestyand patriotism. Petro-dollar easy money has had tremendous corrosive effect on Nigerians. Reordering Nigeria, our mentality and values is a process that does not have overnight solution. It tool Moses 40 years to weed out Israelites stuck with Egyptian mindset.

A study done by KGB,soviet secret police posits that it takes at the minimum 15-20 years to reform people’s mindset. To therefore assume any transformative political and socio-economic change is going to be easy, a walk in the park is to live in illusion. Such changes are risky, sometime messy and arecompounded by great anxiety caused by its uncertain nature. Are we sure we will ever get there? The reformer and those who are willing to give change a chance question themselves. Yet the chance of survival, of success is to press ahead with courage and boldness—qualities not often in abundance. And so it is difficult to improve upon the observations of 15th century Italian philosopher NiccoloMachiavelli, who in his famous book, the Prince, articulated the dynamics of change and why it is such a hard thing to do.

He said: “It should be borne in mind that there is nothing more difficult to arrange, more doubtful of success, and more dangerous to carry through than initiating changes. The reformer makes enemies of all those who prospered under the old orderand only lukewarm support is forthcoming from those who would prosper under the new. Their support is lukewarm…partly because men are generally incredulous, never really trusting new things unless they have tested them by experience.”

In three years since the coming into power of President Muhammedu Buhari on the platform of change, every attempt to effect change has produced strong resistance and polarisation. The refusal to continue with business as usual is the heart of the issue. The entitled elite, who do not think the rule applies to them are obviously appalled that PMB is resolute in his struggle. It would be recalled that for years PMB was resisted and scoffed at by the ruling class because of what they thought he was capable of, eventually he assumed office and it has become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

The loudest in this class have waged the most visceral psychological battle to weaken popular support for change. Others wilier have a different stratagem, which includes sponsorship of false flag operation that escalates insecurity. The killings going on in different parts of the north, targeting of priests, poor rural farmers, attack on innocent road users are all part of the game to induce mass hysteria and undermine regime stability. Under this pretext security issues become political.

What we see in Nigeria is a scorch earth stratagem against the government—human lives mean nothing, in so far as it destabilizes government, and prevents the continuation of APC government. Direct accusation without proofs have been hauled at PMB that he is backing Fulani herdsmen kill, conquer and dominate lands not belonging to them. I have not seen a more ridiculous argument. Is there anything in PMB track record that hints at him habouringexpansionist designs? The answer is no. And the practical question is: how can such territories besustained—by armed force or by force of law? The herdsmen/farmers clash is not limited to Nigeria. Ghana is facing similar challenges; its government recently began implementing a cattleranch initiative without hindrance. In Nigeria, the cattle ranch initiative has been stymied by religion and ethnicity, propagated by hate merchants masquerading in religion and ethnic garb. Nothing has been left out.

To a large extent, the nation is caught in between the lukewarm support of those who would benefit: the masses (who are confused by the coordinated howling of the revanchist forces, exploiting the peoples’ most basic fear—fear of death).

The National Assembly led by its current leadership has been the most obstructionists that ever emerged since return of democracy nearly 20 years ago. One question I would like to ask Dr. Bukola Saraki is: as Governor, would you have tolerated a Speaker, who behaved the way you behave? The answer is obvious. Saraki won’t.

It is unarguable that in 2015 when PMB came into office, the economy was not thriving. Oil price was falling, no savings was in place as buffer, no infrastructure had been built to sustain economic growth, Nigeria was a net importer of basic needs including food, and diversificationof the economy that was needed to rebalance its structure, create employment and reduce povertyhad not even started. Instead government treasury was leaking massively—government was borrowing money to pay salaries, states governments were in arrears of salaries to government workers and had to be bailed out—unaccounted funds flowed out of the treasury, the military was in flight before Boko Haram. It was a country that was falling apart. It is hard not to describe Nigeria in 2015 as a failed state. However, between that time and today, the administration has stabilised the economy. From available indices economic growth has begun and can only accelerate with time. It is true that security remains a challenge and this is not because of lack of effort.

In all I do believe that change under APC is the change that will finally get this country sorted out. The party under Governor Oshiomole is rapidly reforming and working to strengthen internal party mechanisms. In this connection I am confident that before long a stronger, more disciplined and formidable APC will emerge.

Hey dude, the fact that you have over 800+ post doesn't mean you are to be praised.

What you have is time not sense. They are two different things.

Again, you mistake Buhari for OBJ. Tinubu and OBJ are tribesmen. Buhari is Fulani. When the heat became hot under Abacha, another Fulani. Tinubu ran to UK. Buhari will unleash if Tinubu bites too much

APC Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole
Oshiomhole speaks on Imo, Lagos APC primaries
October 2, 2018George Ogala
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, on Tuesday described the results being circulated as the outcome of the Imo governorship primaries as fake.


Mr Oshiohmole stated this while fielding questions from State House correspondents after a closed door meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Tuesday.

The APC chairman also revealed that the party had disbanded the Ahmed Gulak-led Committee that conducted the party’s governorship primaries in Imo State.

According to him, another committee will be set up immediately for the conduct of fresh primaries in the state before the end of the week.

“Imo was not too good news for today, but not surprising they have to learn to begin to comply with rules, they have two fake results, none of them is genuine.


“We will disband and we will appoint a fresh committee (electoral panel) that will conduct transparent direct primaries that reflect the will of members of APC in Imo regardless of the interest and powers that are behind any of the groups.

“The truth does not require supporters club to stand, it has its hands and legs and we will do just that”.

Mr Oshiohmole, who said he was in the villa to update President Buhari on the developments in the APC, ruled out the possibility of honouring parallel results from states.


On the conduct of the APC primaries in Lagos State on Tuesday, the APC chairman disclosed that the National Working Committee (NWC) was in charge of the primaries and that every situation had been put under control.


“I told the president that the primaries held as planned and everything is being done to ensure there is no violence because democracy doesn’t flourish with violence.

“Nigerians must begin to learn how to differ in opinion and in choice without fighting; this is something people have to acquire over time.

“For me, I’m excited that if we can do it in Lagos it can be done anywhere.


“Everything that is being done is done under the control, supervision and direction of the NWC.’’

Mr Oshiohmole maintained that no matter how highly a member may be, he or she must subject himself/herself to the constitution of the party.

It would be recalled that the APC National Working Committee (NWC) panel had on Tuesday announced the cancellation of the Lagos governorship primary election, saying the preparatory process for the election had just been concluded.

The Chairman of the panel, Clement Ebri, made this known when he spoke at a news conference in Alausa, Ikeja.


He said: “The preparatory process had just been concluded for the primaries. The primary is to begin anytime soon.

“There was no election. Election materials are being sorted.

“The stage is set and election begins anytime from now. We have guidelines and we will stick to the guidelines.

“Because of the political tension in the state, we decided to be very careful, very methodical. As party men, peace is more important to us than victory.

“We want a kind of victory that will be celebrated by both parties.


“We want an election that will be credible and in line with the guidelines, the extant rules and the laws of the country.

“And that is what we have done. We are ready to go to the field and execute this so that at the end of the day, we will not be accused of partisanship. Lagos is very important to us and it is a flagship of the APC.’’

“There is huge affirmation and support for Ambode across the state, as stakeholders expressed readiness to work for his emergence as the governorship candidate of the APC and the governor of Lagos for a second term,” NAN quoted him as saying.

Sulaimon said while AMSG was not against endorsement for Sanwo-Olu as it was part of democracy, some of the endorsement information being given out were incorrect.

He said that the Chairman of Conference 57, Mrs Omolola Essien, was at its meeting on Friday to say that chairmen of the 57 councils in Lagos state would support Ambode’s second term aspiration.


“We also had 200 ward chairmen coming here to endorse Ambode.

What constitutes the structure of the party is the ward chairmen, LGA chairmen and councillors.

“237 councillors were here at our meeting and they have endorsed Ambode.

“They said they have realised that it was Ambode that they should support,” he said.

Sulaimon added that the Ndigbos and other Igbo support groups in the party were garnering support for Ambode.

“The Community Development Associations (CDAs) and Community Development Committees (CDCs), have also thrown their weight behind the governor.

“The CDAs and CDCs are the biggest grassroots groups, we have 3,900 CDAs in Lagos state and they have openly endorsed Ambode.

“Their representatives were at our meeting to again affirm their support for Ambode.”

“We are supposed to have a direct primary and this means that all wards will participate,” he said.

After several interventions from the highest level and Lowestoft, tinubu refused to reason. It's time to test the waters Mr. Here comes the chess club.

When you are about to be humbled as was the case of rotimi vs wike. We all remembered that the honourable minister was humbled by the people. Don't dare the people's republic.



Who jah fight for What can stand against him?
