My brother, I see the anger in your writeup. I know you are angry, I feel the frustration Nigeria has brought on us. I feel the heartache when Nigeria comes up...

My prayer is that God would help you build great things in life and handover something great to your children and children's children.

You will not be replaced, God will help you to get it right my brother...

If you said amen or liked this my prayer for you, then it is not stupidity to pray that the God of all creation should grant this our one request, to help us, direct us, to build a nation where no man is oppressed...

Religion / Re: Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional 2024 by Skyfornia(m): 6:15am On May 30
RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

THURSDAY 30TH MAY 2024. Pastor Chris

THEME: HIS LIGHT IS IN YOUR SPIRIT

THEME SCRIPTURE: The spirit of man is the candle of the LORD, searching all the inward parts of the belly (Proverbs 20:27).

‭As God’s children, we’re never in the dark about anything. You can know anything because the light of God is in your spirit. The Lord Jesus said in John 8:12, “...I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

You’re not supposed to walk in darkness about your finances, your health, your career, business, and ministry or in any area of your life. If you ever find yourself in a situation where it seems you’re at a loss for answers concerning a situation, speak in tongues.

As you speak in tongues, the mystery about that situation will come to your understanding. If you have concerns about your health, don’t just run to the doctors or places you think you might find help. Consult with the Holy Spirit first; you’ll be amazed how quickly His light and wisdom will well up within you, showing you precisely what to do.

He’s in you to help you understand certain things about yourself and about life. He’ll show you the future and guide you to take specific steps in line with His plans for your life. John 16:13 says, “Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.” Learn to follow His light and guidance from within you.

prayer
Dear Father, as I speak in tongues today, the eyes of my understanding are flooded with light. I walk in divine wisdom and my life is upward and forward only because I follow the light and guidance of the Spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:
Ephesians 1:17-18 AMPC
[For I always pray to] the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, that He may grant you a spirit of wisdom and revelation [of insight into mysteries and secrets] in the [deep and intimate] knowledge of Him, 18 By having the eyes of your heart flooded with light, so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you, and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints (His set-apart ones),

Romans 8:26-27
Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what [is] the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.

Jude 1:20
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

*THE DAILY DEVOTIONAL.* CHURCH OF NIGERIA _(ANGLICAN COMMUNION)_

*DATE:* THURSDAY, 30TH MAY, 2024
*THEME:* GOD'S JUDGMENT OVER THE ENEMIES OF HIS PEOPLE

*TEXT:* OBADIAH 1: 1-14 (NKJV)

1:1. The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom (We have heard a report from the LORD, And a messenger has been sent among the nations, [saying,] "Arise, and let us rise up against her for battle"wink:
1:2. "Behold, I will make you small among the nations; You shall be greatly despised.
1:3. The pride of your heart has deceived you, [You] who dwell in the clefts of the rock, Whose habitation is high; [You] who say in your heart, 'Who will bring me down to the ground?'
1:4. Though you ascend [as] high as the eagle, And though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down," says the LORD.
1:5. " If thieves had come to you, If robbers by night -- Oh, how you will be cut off! -- Would they not have stolen till they had enough? If grape-gatherers had come to you, Would they not have left [some] gleanings?
1:6. "Oh, how Esau shall be searched out! [How] his hidden treasures shall be sought after!
1:7. All the men in your confederacy Shall force you to the border; The men at peace with you Shall deceive you [and] prevail against you. [Those who eat] your bread shall lay a trap for you. No one is aware of it.
1:8. "Will I not in that day," says the LORD, "Even destroy the wise [men] from Edom, And understanding from the mountains of Esau?
1:9. Then your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, To the end that everyone from the mountains of Esau May be cut off by slaughter.
1:10. " For violence against your brother Jacob, Shame shall cover you, And you shall be cut off forever.
1:11. In the day that you stood on the other side -- In the day that strangers carried captive his forces, When foreigners entered his gates And cast lots for Jerusalem -- Even you [were] as one of them.
1:12. But you should not have gazed on the day of your brother In the day of his captivity; Nor should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah In the day of their destruction; Nor should you have spoken proudly In the day of distress.
1:13. You should not have entered the gate of My people In the day of their calamity. Indeed, you should not have gazed on their affliction In the day of their calamity, Nor laid [hands] on their substance In the day of their calamity.
1:14. You should not have stood at the crossroads To cut off those among them who escaped; Nor should you have delivered up those among them who remained In the day of distress.

*MESSAGE:*

Understanding the historical relationship between Edom and Israel will help us to understand the animosity that the Edomites had towards Israelites, which later resulted in their destruction. Esau was the father of the Edomites and Jacob the father of Israel. It seems that Esau's anger towards his brother, Jacob, was passed on to his descendants. The Edomites seized every chance they had to fight Israel. They did not only rejoice over Israel's captivity, but also took over his possession. Therefore, because of their evil behaviour, God condemned them to termination as a nation. God sent nations to rise up against them in battle, to make them small and to bring them down completely (vv.1, vv 2 & vv 4). The fulfilment of their destruction happened about A. D. 70 when their land was ruined economically by the Arab invaders and later conquered by the Romans.

It is time Christians should beware of God's judgment that begins even from this world. Christians should beware of their actions to their neighbours while avoiding issues that can transpire between families and eventually lead to generational battles. God is a Righteous Judge; He will surely judge everyone according to their wickedness against their neighbours. God encourages brotherly love among brethren so that people can live together in peace and harmony. Christians should also learn not to take laws into their hands, especially at this trying period when we face persecutions from other faiths but rather call upon God to fight against the enemies of Christian faith.

*prayer:*
Lord, please help us live together in love and peace, in Jesus name. _*Amen!*_

*QUOTE FOR THE DAY*
God says:

_"Those who overcome will eat from the tree of life in paradise."_ *Revelation 2: 7*

John 4 V 24 .. God Says he is a Spirit, Whoever that Must Worship Him Must do so in Spirit and in Truth ..


You don't know what you are Talking About by saying the below ..



Spirituality is a vague deception


The Operation of Almighty God is Non Carnal But Spiritual.

Everything About Almighty God is Spiritual ...

He does nothing without His Spirit ,He is not a Human Being ,He is not Flesh .

Man Himself is an Embodiment of Tripartite Nature

Body ,Soul and Spirits .

What Dreams is the Spirit parts of a Man.

Stop the Misinformation about Spiritual Issues..
First of all, get it straight.
When i use the word spirituality, I'm not talking about God who is a spirit or some other kind of Spirits,deities and religions or even doctrinal beliefs of the church or even that of satanism(atheism).
I am talking about ritualism.

Yes, it is true that ritualism is an aspect of spirituality, but there has never been any outcome of fortune or misfortune from any of the practices.
Ritualism generally, whether they are practiced in the church as performing miracles or some sort of group prayer in church, or in a babalawo shrine or any form of incantational practice, are all vague deception, thats what i mean.

And non of such things or practices can affect human destiny

Religion / Re: Did Jesus Want To Be Crucified, And Why? by Explore2xmore: 11:29pm On May 29
Ohyoudidnt:


Indeed Jesus was not a child but is repeated referred to as son of God. How different is a son of God from a child of God?

Abraham who was performing the sacrifice is not classified as a child but the father.

prayer and complaining can coexist within our relationship with God. We may start with a complaint, but ultimately turn to prayer for strength, guidance, and hope. From a desire against something to a desire for something comes the prayer.



Didn't you say



Is there reference to the Gospel in the Galatians and are the two not part of the Biblical scripture? Seems you forgot.

Jesus didn't die for mankind but this is said of him.

Jesus is also said to be God who is reported to say he so loved the world that he gave his 'only begotten son' that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. This is in line with John 3:16.

The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross is seen as an expression of God’s love and mercy towards humanity. See Matthew 16:21, Mark 8:31etc.
Did Paul not say in 1 Corinthians 15:14-17 that
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith?

Was this statement of Paul not in reference to the Gospel?

The point again is as recorded by the scripture and Gospel; if Jesus knew he was to suffer many things including death why then did he pray against it and attempt to have the disciples guard against his capture to fulfilling this?

Does it mean that Jesus the son of God did not fully submit to the will of God?

I end my submissions.

Indeed it is tiresome discussing with these folk especially those that claim an awareness beyond religion.

You are very much correct as prayer is a powerful tool for expressing our grievances and frustrations to a higher power. When we turn to prayer as a complaint, we are acknowledging our feelings of discontent and seeking comfort and resolution from the divine.

Most Christians view Jesus's crucifixion as the ultimate sacrifice for humanity. More so Hebrew 7:27 reads unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself.

Yet Jesus said in Matthew 26:39...... Father, if it’s possible, let this cup ⌞of suffering⌟ be taken away from me. But let your will be done rather than mine.

Did Jesus not know this was how it will play out? Did the script authors feel they can turn on and off his willingness without care?

In any case the OP is simply asking if Jesus Wanted To Be Crucified, And Why?

It seems this will be in obedience to God the father who is also Jesus as said by their majority.

Religion / Re: What Exactly Is The Difference Between These 2 religious Practices. by honesttalk21: 10:56pm On May 29
SIRTee15:

Libation is for the god not for the stone. Just like when U bow before kabba U worshipping Allah and not the kabba.


Yes U do. U may deny the hadiths for all U like but your authentic sahih confirmed the stone can forgive sin.
Its says it was once white but became black due to people's sins. How can an ordinary stone archive that? Pls explain.

Also the stone will testify against insincere Muslims on judgement day when he will have eyes and mouth. How can the stone talk of it has no divine powers.
Pls explain.


This doesn't make sense. Why should U do something because Muhammed did it, do U worship Muhammed or God.
Muhammed married a 6yr old girl and raided caravans, such a actions will be met with condemnation in today's world even amongst Muslims if anyone tried to copy it.
U dont know why Muhammed kissed the black stone so copying it blinding without any clear authorisation from Allah is blind faith.

Exactly so why venerate it at a time meant only to worship Allah. That's what makes it all suspicious.
Sharing time solely meant for Allah with a stone is paganism.


I brought U hadith where it says the stone forgives sin but U rejected it without because U hated the answer.
I will bring it here again...

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Umar said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: “Touching them both [the Black Stone and al-Rukn al-Yamani] is[b] an atonement for sins[/b].”
If U reject above hadith then explain why the black stone is said to have turned from white to black because of sin of people kissing it.



Well this is your own opinion. Most Muslims believe the stone does forgive sin.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/islamqa.info/amp/en/answers/1902

Libation of the Polytheists is for gods (plural/polytheism) not God. You can insist for your satisfaction that the aforementioned isn't true. Ask your traditionalist friends or acquaintances if other gods exist as well as the ones they pour libation for?

Have you bothered to study the the chain of transmission and the text of hadith that say the black stone grants forgiveness? Please provide the text of the prayer made to the black stone asking it for forgiveness and a report of its response otherwise stop repeating what is untruth.

Do you not see how illogical your claim of a black stone being white then turned black due to sins is? When you paint your house with high quality paint does it not darken over years of exposure to natural element? I thought you are a professional of advanced scientific learning? Why is it not called the once white but blackened stone or any other such variant? Give statistically representative evidence of people that saw it when it was white. I figure you have another repugnant untruthful response to this.


Why prophet Muhammad kissed the stone has been explained before. His forefather's placed it after it came to earth. Do you not know how certain treasure passed from generation to generation are valued? When footballers win even the world cup don't they kiss it despite replicas being made for tournaments? This stone is the same over several millennia.

How is Allah's time shared? It seems you don't know all the rights of hajj are in worship of Allah.

Just noticed you repeat the usual slander of the age of Aisha that is definitely a lie. Scrutiny of this by scholars do not agree with this.
https://newlinesmag.com/essays/oxford-study-sheds-light-on-muhammad-underage-wife-aisha/#:~:text=According%20to%20Little%2C%20the%20claim,of%20Aisha%20against%20Shiite%20detractors.

It is an over flogged case and has no direct relation with your originally asked question or do you now equate the prophet's marriage to the primary acts of worshipping Allah?

I imagine this later inclusion is a ploy for further unending discussion.
Religion / Life Is Eternal by Mogbonjubola55: 10:35pm On May 29
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began. Titus 1:2






Life is a glorious opportunity, if it is used to condition us for eternity. If we fail in this, though we succeed in everything else, our life will have been a failure. There is no escape for the man who squanders his opportunity to prepare to meet God. Our lives are also immortal. God made man different from the other creatures. He made him in His own image, a living soul. When this body dies and our earthly existence is terminated, the soul lives on forever. One thousand years from this day, you will be more alive than you are at this moment.

The Bible teaches that life does not end at the cemetery. There is a future life with God for those who put their trust in His Son, Jesus Christ.

prayer
Thank You for the eternal life in Christ and for the peace that comes over me because of this triumphant promise! Today help me relay this joyous news to those around me

Delete all the useless men's numbers you have on your phones & block them. Focus on your goals & move closer to God.

Prepare for the worst but hope for the best in any man you meet or you're currently dating.

Avoid female friends that have too many male friends.

Unfollow any social media page that all they want to do is make you hate Men & make you feel like marriage is not something you should look forward to.

Purge your mindset from the mentality of "what works for A will not work for B".

Relationships have formular and its principles.

Encourage your men to be better & let them know that you're their no 1 supporter & prayer Pal.

All these things I've told you are what will get men committed to you.

It's not rocket science.

It's doable and you'll be glad you chose the path of femininity.

May your prayers be answered but you have to put in the work.

I wish you well.

Family / Single Lady At 30 by AgbaJohnDoe: 7:57pm On May 29
If you're a single lady that is inching close to 30, make marriage your priority from now

It doesn't matter if you end up not getting married in 2024, but at least you're on the path.

Your online feminists and misandrists are getting married secretly because they know they can't do without men.

Those who are still unmarried are miserable and will gladly pull you along.

Misery loves company.

As you keep pushing and building your various careers & goals, don't forget to find a man to build along with.

If you have a man already, make sure you don't lose him.

Don't let anyone discourage you that marriage is not an achievement.

Marriage well done is an achievement for both the man and the woman.

If you start a fresh relationship this new month of the year, and you stay deliberately committed to it, by the end of this year, you would've seen how far you have come.

Make it a prayer point & show that man that you're willing to be a good wife.

Let old things of last year, last month or even last week pass away.

You're not the worst sinner on earth. I spent quality time with my family and I took time to date my wife again & took time to appreciate her for being a good wife & mother to our lovely children.

We reflected on how we met & how we made sure things worked for both of us.

We started from a step. So you too can do it.

If you're above 25 and have no boyfriend, please be deliberate about the man you'll date this year.

As you shape your thoughts and mind, the universe will bring forth the type of man you need.

Avoid fraudulent men this year.

Avoid men who believe in 50:50 this year.

Avoid men who still want to party & hang out with friends all the time.

Avoid men who can't make a full statement without mentioning their mother in it.

Look out for men that are earning legitimate & sustainable income.

He doesn't have to own a car but he should at least be living in his own rented apartment.

Learn how to cook and clean.

Learn how to respect men & learn never to show a man you have your own money.

Avoid begging men for money this year & let the man see something different in you that he rarely sees in most women he has been with.

Stop shaking bumbum online and keep your social media records as clean as possible.

Go closer to your fathers and tell him to teach you how to respect men and how to be a submissive wife.

Are you saying Christ hung on that cross with unforgiveness in His heart towards the Pharisees? Only demons have such a message. If this is what JW taught you, it further confirms the demonism in that cult

Look here, how many times did the Pharisees offend Jesus Christ? Was it up to 70 x 7 times in one day?

Mathew 18:21-25

Pharisees and Sadducees that schemed the death of Jesus can't be forgiven because they spoke against the WORKS of God's Holy Spirit as it's operational in Jesus. Matthew 12:31-32

First of all, Jesus Christ was not a child sacrifice. He never said He was any such so I am not certain why you would assert that which is not even of His Truth. Second, can you explain how any of the highlighted amounts to a complaint? ...
...
Which of the above do you reason is a complaint? undecided

Indeed Jesus was not a child but is repeated referred to as son of God. How different is a son of God from a child of God?

Abraham who was performing the sacrifice is not classified as a child but the father.

prayer and complaining can coexist within our relationship with God. We may start with a complaint, but ultimately turn to prayer for strength, guidance, and hope. From a desire against something to a desire for something comes the prayer.

Kobojunkie:
1. I didn't limit the Gospel, God Himself did! God of Israel declared that no man can add, remove, or change anything declared in His Laws, of which the Gospel is one. undecided

2. Galatians is not the Gospel/Law of God. If you are not able to debate only that contained in the Gospel as indicated by the OP, then no point. undecided

3. First of all, Jesus Christ never said He was a sacrifice like Isaac so I don't understand the connection the other attempted to make. Second, there is no decree given by God that man is not to ask particular things in prayer. Third, Jesus Christ never said He died for mankind. Now to the fourth, Jesus Christ prophesied of His Death in Matthew 12 vs 40, Mark 8:31-33, Mark 9 vs 30-32, Mark 10 vs 32-34, Matthew 17 vs 22–23 & Luke 9 vs 43–45 & John 10 vs 7-18 & Luke 18 vs 31-34 & Luke 9 vs 21-22. Following what is presented in the Gospels regarding His death, He did not mention before Gethsemane, that He would need to drink the cup of God's poison in any of the above references. undecided

I hope you are done with this meaningless back and forth at this point cause this seems more and more an attempt to convolute that which is simply stated in the Gospels out of ignorance. undecided

Didn't you say

Kobojunkie:
1. This thread is not about what is written in Galatians but what is presented in the Gospels. undecided

2. Reading through the Gospels, there is no mention of the taking of this curse of Mankind you keep insisting on throughout all of the Gospels. undecided
3. Abraham? I don't follow! Exactly what point?

Is there reference to the Gospel in the Galatians and are the two not part of the Biblical scripture? Seems you forgot.

Jesus didn't die for mankind but this is said of him.

Jesus is also said to be God who is reported to say he so loved the world that he gave his 'only begotten son' that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. This is in line with John 3:16.

The sacrifice of Jesus on the cross is seen as an expression of God’s love and mercy towards humanity. See Matthew 16:21, Mark 8:31etc.
Did Paul not say in 1 Corinthians 15:14-17 that
And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith?

Was this statement of Paul not in reference to the Gospel?

The point again is as recorded by the scripture and Gospel; if Jesus knew he was to suffer many things including death why then did he pray against it and attempt to have the disciples guard against his capture to fulfilling this?

Does it mean that Jesus the son of God did not fully submit to the will of God?

I end my submissions.

Ajayi Crowther University, Oyo Campus


“I sympathize with the family. We don’t pray for such to happen. We are sad about the development. The university has declared a three-day mourning starting from Wednesday to Friday, with fasting and prayer every night against a recurrence of such incidents.
”As the vice-chancellor, I wept throughout Sunday and Monday. Even while conveying the message to the staff I wept. I didn’t know I would be able to address this press conference.”


“Twelve students are in the police net over the student’s killing. Eighteen were initially apprehended, but the police screened them to 12, including a porter who was taken to Iyaganku Police Station, in Ibadan.

“We have learned our lessons in a hard way. We have zero tolerance for bullying and cultism. There is no cultism. We have worked in different schools; cultists need bushes to operate.

“There is no sign of cultism and bullying here. There are no bushes here. We always ask our students not to stay alone and in obscure places.
“We have a monitoring team that moves around, we have a security team. The management moves around to check that things are in order to ensure that students comply with the mechanism put in place.


“We will increase the number of security operatives and porters. We will keep on beefing up security in our hostels. We will work on every other aspect of observed inadequacies.

“Ajayi Crowther University is safe. We raise students with Godly characters. We are telling the parents now that their children are in safe hands here.”

Come to think of it; can we compare this to the sacrifice of Abraham though not as a means to salvation of his first son as he had pledged? I have not come across Abraham's initial planned first child sacrifice complaining. Is there a case of Abraham's child being more submissive than the Biblical Jesus? Is it that Abraham and his first child had a less human side than the allegedly divine and human Jesus?
First of all, Jesus Christ was not a child sacrifice. He never said He was any such so I am not certain why you would assert that which is not even of His Truth. Second, can you explain how any of the highlighted amounts to a complaint?
42 Then Jesus went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if I must do this and it is not possible for me to escape it, then I pray that what you want will be done.”
43 Then he went back to the followers. Again he found them sleeping. They could not stay awake.
44 So he left them and went away one more time and prayed. This third time he prayed, he said the same thing.
45 Then Jesus went back to the followers and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? The time has come for the Son of Man to be handed over to the control of sinful men.
46 Stand up! We must go. Here comes the one who will hand me over.” - Matthew 26 vs 42-46
...
35 Jesus went on a little farther away from them, fell to the ground, and prayed. He asked that, if possible, he would not have this time of suffering.
36 He said, “ Abba, Father! You can do all things. Don’t make me drink from this cup. But do what you want, not what I want.”
37 Then he went back to his followers and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “Simon, why are you sleeping? Could you not stay awake with me for one hour? 38 Stay awake and pray for strength against temptation. Your spirit wants to do what is right, but your body is weak.” - Mark 14 vs 35 - 37
...
41 Then Jesus went about 50 steps away from them. He knelt down and prayed,
42 Father, if you are willing, please don’t make me drink from this cup.[e] But do what you want, not what I want.”
43 Then an angel from heaven came to help him.
44 Jesus was full of pain; he struggled hard in prayer. Sweat dripped from his face like drops of blood falling to the ground.
45 When he finished praying, he went to his followers. He found them asleep, worn out from their grieving.
46 Jesus said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray for strength against temptation.” - Luke 22 vs 41 - 46
Which of the above do you reason is a complaint? undecided

Did you not say? You now limit to the Gospels as they are separate from the scripture? The entire Bible then is not scripture
∆ Does Galatians 1: 6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. In reference to the Gospel?

Politics / Tension In Ikam/ Takum Taraba As The Governor About To Demolish TAKUM PALACE by karmaolu1(m): 2:24pm On May 29
THE PROPOSED DEMOLITION OF TAKUM CENTRAL MOSQUE AND UKWE TAKUM PALACE: A CALL FOR URGENT INTERVENTION

You would recall that on 13th May, 2024, Justice Ali Bappa of Taraba State High Court set aside the notice of appeal from the Court of Appeal, Yola, and dismissed the suit by the Kuteb Ruling family challenging the Order (Law) by Taraba State Government. The Taraba State Governor had sponsored an Executive Bill to the State House of Assembly which was processed and signed into law within five days.

The Law created rotational rulership of the First Class Stool of Takum, adding Chamba and Kpanzon tribes to ascend to the Stool along with the Kuteb tribe which has been the sole occupant of the Paramount throne since inception in 1914. The Law also changed the title of the Stool from Ukwe Takum to Chief of Takum to allow for this unpopular, unhealthy and unacceptable participation.

It will surprise you to know that on 13th May, as soon as Justice Bappa finished his sitting at 7:30pm, His Excellency Dr Agbu Kefas announced the appointment of Barr Sopiya Ahmadu as the First Class Chief of Takum, and presentation of staff of office was done at the Government House Chamber by 8:30pm, one hour after the negotiated judicial exercise. The following day being Tuesday, 14th May, the Governor escorted the new Chief under tight security to Takum, and the reception was done on Saturday 18th May.

Since the case is in the Court of Appeal Yola, the Kutebs by the instruction of Ukwe Takum, HRH Rimamnyang Habu Ahmadu II have remained calmed trusting that the Judiciary, which is believed to be the hope of the common man will do justice to the facts to be presented.

By this appeal, the Kutebs are acting by faith, though our Elder Statesman General T.Y Danjuma (retired) publicly boasted during the reception of his Chief of Takum on 18th May, 2024, that the Kutebs will only waste their scarce resources on lawyers, and will never get any justice. He instructed Governor Agbu Kefas to defend his fraudulent Law and actions. Which means the General and the Governor are armed financial to purchase justice wherever the Kutebs will go with their appeals. O' God, give us sincere Judges with characters different from that of Justice Ali Bappa of Taraba State High Court.

PROPOSED DEMOLITION OF TAKUM CENTRAL MOSQUE AND UKWE TAKUM PALACE

The Taraba State Government has concluded plans to demolish the Takum Central Mosque and the ancient Ukwe Takum Palace, in the name of urban road expansion. There are so many roads needing urgent attention in Taraba State, and even in Takum. Why should this place be the starting point? If the Governor wants to build a new Mosque, why can't he finish the new one before demolishing the old? Will the new Mosque be attached to the new Palace that the Governor wants to build? Is it because the Governor appointed a person whose tribe or ancestors have never held any Paramount traditional Stool in Takum that he wants to demolish the palace together with the graves of past Kuteb Paramount Rulers to eliminate every reference to past rulership?

If the Governor believes that the Chamba and Kpanzon are rightful heirs to the First Class Stool of Takum, why does he want to demolish the palace and build a new one at a different location? The First Class Stool of Takum is not a new one, and the Ukwe Takum palace land is large enough to accommodate any new structure that the Governor wants to introduce. No need for relocation of the palace.

THE NEED TO SAVE TAKUM FROM BLOODSHED

Demolishing a Mosque and Chiefdom palace can easily touch people's emotions, and nobody can predict or guarantee the reactions that will come with it.

We know the Governor is under obligation to implement the full script of General Danjuma, but he should exercise restraint on issues that are tension loaded.

prayer

We are calling on the President and Commander in Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, H.E Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR, the Vice President Federal Republic of Nigeria, the Senate President, Speaker, Federal House of Representatives, National Security Adviser, the Inspector-General of Police, Service Chiefs, DG Department of State Security, etc, to urgently prevail on Dr Agbu Kefas, the Executive Governor of Taraba State to stop his plans to demolish Takum Central Mosque and Ukwe Takum Palace, as that is not in the interest of peace. A stitch in time, saves nine.
