It is indeed a hard time for Nigerians.

The man-made disaster is heart-rending.

Neither a fan of Gani Adams nor Igboho. I believe the two of them are rabble-rousers.

External loan again?

Lord, when are we going to look inward for the betterment of our lives? How long will it take before we realise that we could do it if we are really prepared to?

GothamCities:
I don't think that's what he meant. God built a city for his ministry, which is the RCCG. It doesn't mean the city is his personal property.

Hmn....

The editorial is correct.

Federal government keeps pouring more fuel into the fire of hardship.

I agree that it is time to reduce noise pollution.

Again, no religion should force its worship on other citizens. Enough of that subtle oppression.

So many things in Nigeria calls for concern.

The hardship is too much.

What a pity.

Ignorance has made the young man to lose his life.

If other businesses are paying taxes/levies on their signposts, why should the church not pay for its signpost?

Afterall, the church should give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar.

What kind of anger was this?

The woman is evil.

Too bad.

It's better to go for castration than to do this.

He should remove the 'Honourable' title.

CodeTemplarr:
Custodian isnt owner. He is in charge today and may not be tomorrow.

Exactly.

The sit-at-home has outlived its usefulness. It is unfortunate that some miscreants will want it to continue.


Well-meaning South Easterners should be united in stopping this menace. It will bring more harm than any good if it continues.

What is South Korea's business in this?


Is this not meddlesomeness?

Dear Sir,

Taking Church Estate as Personal

Greetings to you, sir. I feel compelled to write this message to you as the Spirit directs me.


I will like to refer to this:

OPEN HEAVENS 2024 DEVOTIONAL

On Wednesday, SEP 11, 2024, with the Topic: RECEIVING PROPHECIES, you, among other things stated:


....When God tells me something unbelievable, I immediately begin to repeat it to those He permits me to share it with. I don’t give room for my human mind to process it and express doubts. I confess the prophecy repeatedly so that it becomes real to me. When God told me that He would build me a city, I could not even afford to build a small house, but I announced it to everyone who cared to hear. Today, He has fulfilled that prophecy. When He showed me trailers bringing in cows to feed the crowds that will be attending our programmes...

By this, sir, you were stating that the RCCG camp which has grown to the size of a city is what God promised you. The mixture in the message is claiming ownership of the 'city'.

This same claim has been made in other fora. I believe the claim is not entirely true. The RCCG camp belongs to the RCCG, which in turn belongs to Christ. No man should say it as if it is a personal estate or inheritance.

I believe there are other issues I will like to discuss or pass across to you, sir, but those, I will shelve for now.

Thank you.

It will be impressive if all these paper achievements have really translated to positively impacting on people.


These, so far, are audio achievements.

No to the army taking over.


All the same, government should be sensitive to the people. The hardship in the land is too much.

Yes, anyone can fall sick, but if your health cannot bear the rigors of office, it will be better to resign

All these foreign trips are draining our foreign exchange. Can't we be modest in spending?

Must we attend all external meetings?

What a silly and avoidable death!

Indeed, some people perish for lack of knowledge and understanding.

She went on to tell them I was not interested when she didn’t even discuss the matter with me! She should, at least, tell me about it.

“I’ve been very selfish,” she went on. “I didn’t want you to go. I didn’t want to lose you.”

I was so disappointed I didn’t know what next to say.

“Look, Tayo, you’ve been giving me good luck. I don’t want to lose that.”

I nodded. “So, it’s all about you.”

“Not totally true. It’s about us.”

I stared at her. “What do you mean, us?”

“Oh, come on, Tayo, don’t you understand?”

I shook my head. “No, I don’t understand.”

“You’re good for me and I’m good for you. Our aura and spirituality blend and work together.”

I shook my head. “I still don’t understand.”

She sighed. “You will understand. All I can say is I’m sorry I didn’t let you know.”

My mind dwelt on spirituality factor that she mentioned. What did she mean by that?

“Any way,” she said slowly. “I can still call Mrs. Abdulahi that you wanted the job. She was the one that connected to get the job in the first place. If you take that job, your job here will be waiting for you when the Abuja tenure is over.”

“How can you be sure that a job opening that came in June would still be available till now? This is November.”

“Mrs. Abdulahi knows how to press the right button.”

She picked up her phone to call Mrs. Abdulahi.

“Wait. Madam. I didn’t say I want the job. I was only miffed that you didn’t let me know.”

She stared at me. “You don’t want the job?”

“No. I enjoy working for and with you.”

She smiled. “Are you saying you’ve forgiven me?”

I nodded. “Of course. After all, to err is human, to forgive divine.”

“Oh, Tayo.” She stood up to give me a hug. I quickly stood up to oblige.

“You won’t regret this action, Tayo. I can assure you that you won’t regret it.”

That was how the matter was resolved. She told me to wait and eat but I declined politely.

“I had already prepared dinner before coming. The meal is waiting.”

While driving home, I went over what happened again. Was I not crazy by telling her I didn’t want the Abuja job? I shrugged. All would be well.

By the time I got home, I realized I had five unread WhatsApp messages on my phone. It was Madam Becky that sent the messages.

'Hello.'

'How’re you?'

'You look even more handsome than before.
Long time. I’m sorry about the way I treated you years back, forgive me.I still like you.'

'No qualms. I’ve forgiven you,' I replied.

'I’m ready to abide by your principles now,' she wrote.

My heart started beating fast.

In all honesty, each region should seek for self determination.

At least, that will ease the problems confronting us.

“I’m sorry, I don’t know about any offer.”

“Are you serious? Are you saying Ms. Morgan did not pass the message to you? I understand she said she would tell you when you could not be reached and they had to call her.”

I was totally surprised. “I’m not aware.”

For the remaining time that I conversed with Mr. Bello, I was ruffled. Was that true? Was it really true that I was to take up appointment with the Speaker and Ms. Morgan refused to tell me?

If that was true, that would be very bad. I could hardly bottle my displeasure. I picked up my phone and called her. “Good evening, madam. Are you at home?”

“No, not yet. But the driver is driving me home right now. Hope no problem.”

“No, no problem, but I’ve got to see you.”

“Come around. In twenty minutes’ time, I should be at home.”

It was not a matter to discuss on the phone, so I drove to her residence. It was few minutes past nine when I got there and she was in pajamas.

“Good evening, madam.”

“Good evening, Tayo. How’s everything?”

“Fine.” I gave her business reports and she seemed pleased with them.

“Oh, good, Tayo. Well done.”

I nodded. “Thank you, ma’am. But there’s something that baffles me, and that’s why I’m here.”

“What’s that?”

I told her about the call I received from Abuja and what the caller said. Madam’s expression immediately became solemn.

“Yes, it’s true that I was contacted to tell you that you could work as media personnel of the new Speaker. That was in June. I told them you would not be interested as you and I were planning some kind of business.”

My jaw dropped in surprise. “So, it was true what Mr. Bello said!”

She nodded, “Yes, Tayo.”

“But you didn’t tell me, madam. Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I’m sorry, Tayo.”

I couldn’t believe it. She went on to tell them I was not interested when she didn’t even discuss the matter with me! She should, at least, tell me about it.

What a life.

This is a serious drama of comedy.
