There's a principle Israeli operates by called: NEVER AGAIN ! after the Holocaust.

It would be wise for any terrorist (nations, organizations, individuals) to respect it. Any attack on the nation of Israel will be met with swift force, unapologetically.

President Trump cannot change that neither can BiBi himself. It is a perpetual State policy of the Nation of Israel. If even Israel has to fight alone.

Meanwhile, they are never alone: God will always rise up to save them.

Let no one take Israel for granted. Or dictate to how they should defend herself.

Even I who is averse to this war believes in "Never Again" principle. Go forward Israel!

Happy birthday to Baba.

Most respected living elder statesman.
An intellectual giant and outstanding leader respected all over the world.

A definition of the most favoured Nigerian: I have always wondered how he had to rule Nigeria again and again. Yet he remains relevant.

No doubt, he's a man of grace.
O' LORD, remember me too.

Congratulations Sir. ❤️❤️❤️

Good information shared. Thank you.

The important question now is: how to de-ironize the people because it has virtually become everyone's problem.

Revelant authority should quickly step up their duty of protecting the populace.

God's love for mankind is shown to us in His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ.

No other love is greater than this.

John 3:16

He has run his race. . . RIP

We'd sing to the Lord in eternity.

Soludo....an uncommon transformer. And leaving legacy projects.

Contrast that with the loud mouth, black wearing guy. You all know who he's.

After Soludo's tenure as Governor, we'd need him for further impact, at the federal level.


Soludo.... A true born Igbo man I respect.

He has inspired many and left a big legacy that will endure for a long time.

R.I.P. to Jimmy Cliff

Great woman of God: mighty in word and works.

Sometimes I tuned in to her early morning preaching and prayers on the radio.

But "precious in the sight of God is the death of His saint".

She has been a blessing to the body of Christ and the world at large.

I pray God to console her immediate family, The Carpenter's Church and the body of Christ. Rest in the bossom of the Lord 💝🌹🙏

The New INEC Chairman, Prof Joash Ojo, Amupitan. SAN: An Alumnus Testimony From His Primary School Days.

In today's world, where scrutiny and skepticism often accompany public appointments, it's refreshing to reflect on the life and achievements of individuals who have demonstrated exceptional character and dedication to public service. As an alumnus of LEA 2, Aiyetoro Gbede, I am delighted to share my personal testimony about Prof Joash Amupitan, SAN the newly appointed Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

1. Joash, as my school mate, is not my childhood friend but we are from the same home town.
2. We attended the same primary school. He was a year ahead of me @ LEA 2, Aiyetoro Gbede.
3. Like him, we were both very young among the rest and we had outstanding and disciplined teachers. Everyone one including my seniors knew me especially when results were called out at the assembly: I always took first position!
4. Joash, like myself, was an exceptionally brilliant pupil. From his friend, Kenway Davidson, FC, Aaccount, I learned that he left for St Barnabas Secondary, Kabba from primary 5. I also left the primary school in Primary 5 to follow my then Vice Principal to Kabba: in order to complete my primary school. I graduated as the overall best pupil there. I thereafter proceeded to St. Augustine's College, Kabba.
5. Also learned he went to the School of Basic Studies (SBS), of then Kwara State College of Technology, now Kwara Polytechnic, Ilorin in 1982 - 1984 for his A-Levels (GCE & IJMB). I was also @ Kwara Tech (now Kwara Poly) from 1985 for my GCE & JAMB. A year later I gained admission into the University of Port Harcourt.
6. We are all simple in nature and well brought up in the way of the Lord under proper parental and community customs, norms and discipline. We're not permitted to lie, steal or cut corners.
7. We could not keep in touch then because there was no means of direct communication except by writing letters or coming home at festive season, like December.
8. Unfortunately people from our side hardly give attention to promoting or advancing one another's causes. This mindset must change.
9. I write this not only to vouch for my school mate and contemporary's academic integrity, but to also solicit for the coming together of our school's old boys and girls to reconstruct totally our old Alma mater and turn same into a modern centre of learning for the present and upcoming generations. This is not too much to ask.
10. Progressive minded Alumni could reach out to me asap for the purpose of proper coordination.
11. People should not malign someone who has impeccable record. He's apolitical and I strongly believe his appointment is based on merit, experience, and integrity devoid of ethnic jingoism.
12. I can only wish him well in this call to national service.

I am always wary of people that make untenable excuses.

Excuses and stupidity are dangerous twins that have devastating effects on anything they touch.

We are seeing this being played out in Italy right now with heavy causality.

[/b]My random thoughts as I penned this post are stated below:[b]

Everyone is under risk, particularly the corrupt public officials and politicians who travels
No outside or overseas treatment for anyone now.
Those who steal public fund and hire SAP to enable them travel abroad for a 'doctored' ailments are no where to be found now.
Orji Kalu inprison may be better than them now.

Those who have stolen Million and Billions in US Dollars of commonwealth money have no rest now.

Those with perceptual injunctions and cannot be probed for stealing commonwealth are not immuned

The seemingly powerful and untouchable ones playing gods are being found a liar and are being harassed by the deathly virus.

Isn't it time to return the stolen money, build world class hospitals and schools and send Nigerian children to school?

Those who make laws and think they are above the laws are being hunted by the deadly virus they brought from their funky trips abroad.

Isn't it time for the religious hypocrites to have a rethink? The mal-administrators, the highly corrupt ones and those that ruled with impunity are mainly religious people under the guise of being a good Muslim or Christian.

Isn't it time we render help to our neighbours? Government seems helpless. Many people are poor and broke at this locked up time. Even this writer is very broke at this moment but is still doing his best to help those in need.

A truly religious person's task is to help the needy and visit the orphans. This is the time. No better time!

The kidnappers, the armed robbers and the yahoo-yahoo fraudsters should be sober and change their ways now.

Isn't it time to create employment for our youths?

Let us change our ways: Perhaps God will have mercy on us. The world is having its Sabbath of rest from all our evil ways. Repent !

Truly there is no God like the Lord. Everyone should seek for mercy at this time.

We can all learn from your perspective.

Anyone going from house to house at this time may be an agent of Satan spreading the Virus.

Jehovah Witnesses should obey Government directive like everybody else.
At least, until this siege is over.

Gov Wike Locks Down Rivers State to Prevent COVID-19: Read details please

[/b]COVID-19: GOVERNMENT UN-ENDING LOCK DOWN STATEMENTS WITHOUT ANY PLAN IN PLACE TO AMELIORATE THE HARDSHIP BEING FACED BY THE CITIZENS.[b]

Apart from the usual statements of lock downs by the federal and state governments to curtail the spread of Coronona-Virus, COVID-19, there seems to be no plan in place or any palliative measures in place to help the citizens to enable them adjust to the current reality. The economic and social implication of this pandemic is getting out of manageable proportion.

For instance, electricity supply, which has always been epileptic, was never addressed nor seen as a necessity by the govt to assist families going through the lock down period. Second, one would have expected the various govts at the federal and state levels to set up free medical testing centres. This was deliberately omitted.

Other palliative measures would have been to address how the teeming unemployed people, the disabled, the aged and those who are out of jobs would be helped in these trying times. None of these areas have been touched by any of the govt at any level.

The latest lock down directive is coming from the Rivers State government, ordering a complete lock down of air, sea and land accesses into and out of the city of Port Harcourt! According to the Governor Nyesom Wike, it was just because an infected person was caught in Abuja, who had beaten all security posts, and was to board a flight to Port Harcourt city. While the total lock down seems commendable on the surface, this writer finds some aspects of it absurd and punitive and is capable of exacerbating an already tensed situation.

As usual, the Governor failed to address: how the city dwellers will have access to food if all vehicular movement is disallowed, the State not being a food producing on; how the city’s medical and medicine needs will be met; and most importantly how to improve electricity supply within the period when people are forced to stay indoor? Consequently, crime may increase due to the presence of hungry, employed youth that are roaming the street, among other vices.

Gov Wike should proceed to urgently conclude the current recruitment process of the medical personnel in the State (Doctors, Medical Labs, etc) to compliment the decayed health care delivery. He should allow vehicles bearing food and medicine move freely into the State and urgently address the re-current black out prevalent in the city. Other State governments should tow this line in earnest.

While we should heed govt directives at all times, we should equally demand better condition for the citizens and make every effort not to panic. We had faced terrible times in the past and we have always overcome by the mercy of God.

My question now is what is the government at all levels doing in this terrible time to ameliorate the unfortunate pandemic at hand as it affects the good people of Nigeria?

Yes, in Port Harcourt City

THE NEED TO ESTABLISH SAMBISHA FOREST AGRICULTURE EXPORT PROCESSING ZONE AS A PANACEA TO THE PERENNIAL BOKO HARAM/HERDSMEN-FARMER MENANCE IN NIGERIA.

‘You never change things easily by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.’ B. Fuller

The menace that Boko Haram and Herdsmen-Farmers crisis portent for Nigeria and indeed the West African sub-regions is best imagined in the light of what we have seen thus far which has resulted in tremendous loss of lives, properties and displacement of people leading to the creation of IDP camps. This is besides the enormous financial costs and the attendant corruption resulting in exacerbation of the crisis as evidenced by the recent past regime.
If we don’t want the enemy stronghold to thrive, the present territory occupied by Boko Haram must be taken and the area turned into productive use. The only feasible use Sambisha forest could be turned into is for a vast integrated agro based industry including making it the first agro export processing zone in the North of Nigeria. The rampaging Fulani Herdsmen can also be curtailed in their non-co-ordinatedroaming, by setting up colonies and ranches for them in Shambisha forest. This writer will be least surprised if it was found later that besides the big men and corrupt politicians who actually own the cattle being managed by the herders, who are fomenting troubles all over the country, Boko Haram occupation of the Sambisha forest may have contributed to the Fulani Herdsmen’s displacement from the forest, hence the tension in the land in their quest to get a greener pasture for their flocks.
The strength of the small territory of Britain in the world affairs today and tomorrow is their ability to utilise the Roman’s concept of colonialism yesterday and neo-colonialism todayto have a grip on world affairs. While it is no longer fashionable or even realistic to use colonial method against a country’s neighbour, we need to use this method internally to suppress and manage internal crisis on the principle of carrot and stick basis. In the case of current happening, the dangled carrot was rejected and despised by the insurgents who have no fear of death; as such government have resorted to using the stick approach against them. The stick approach also is no longer effective as expectedand has become counter-productive. For example, school girls are being rounded up and kidnapped, perhaps for various ransom purposes, including outright extortion to bargaining for prisoner swap with the government.

Finally we are beginning to do practical reasoning. Kudos to Governors of Borno and Kano States
RUGA should only apply to the best States like this

I quoted copiously from the speeches of these great men that are speaking forthrightly about the progress of the Northern States in particular and Nigeria in general.

Aliko Dangote is walking the talk! Emir Sanusi, an exceptional man. *El-Rufai* is a man committed to transformation of the Northern States: One State at a time. Other Governors should emulate him.


Peace and progress in the Northern States is good for the stability and advancement of country as a whole.

I am passionate about transforming this nation for good: for the generations to come

“He noted that 60 per cent of northerners lived in extreme poverty, saying it was unacceptable for a people with vast arable land for agriculture to live in poverty.”

“The North must focus on harnessing its massive agricultural potential in terms of both production and processing. No region with high such agricultural potential should be this poor.”

Aliko Dangote
