Obaseki to House of Reps: You sincerely lack powers to shut Edo Assembly

by Eromosele Ebhomele - A day after an order to shut down the Edo state Assembly, Governor Godwin Obaseki has replied the House of Representatives saying it lacks such powers

- The government said the constitution did not grant supervisory powers to the House of Representatives but to the National Assembly - Osarodion Ogie Esq, Secretary to State Government (SSG), further noted that the issue is currently pending in two courts


The government of Godwin Obaseki, on Thursday, July 18, said the House of Representatives erred in its decision to call on security agencies to shut down the Edo state House of Assembly. The government also reminded the House of Representatives that the constitution has not given it the powers to shut down any state legislature.


a letter from our Editor-in-Chief Bayo Olupohunda Vanguard reports that in a statement issued in Benin City, the capital of Edo, the Secretary to State Government (SSG), Osarodion Ogie Esq, carpeted the federal legislature saying the latter was going against the laws.


“There is nowhere in the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, where the House of Representatives or even the National Assembly for that matter, is granted the right or power to shut down a state House of Assembly,” the statement said.


The government said it was appalled and disappointed at the ‘gross illegality and abuse of process by the House of Representatives’. Do you have news to share? Just contact Legit.ng The statement argued that the emergency supervisory powers granted by the constitution over a state legislature is handed over to the National Assembly and not just an arm.


“These powers certainly do not extend to issuing directives to a duly elected state governor to unlawfully repeat an act which has already been fully carried out in line with the constitution.

“It has further not been alleged or concluded by anyone that the Edo state House of Assembly is unable to sit. In fact, whenever the ‘self-exiled’ members-elect so choose, they can join their colleagues in plenary in Benin City,” the statement said.


The administration noted that since the situation in the Edo House of Assembly is a matter currently pending before two courts of competent jurisdiction, the state government would not follow the ‘contemptuous example’ of those who are currently commenting, adjudicating upon and giving directives on matters currently being litigated upon.

Fulani residents can't leave - South west governors announce joint decision. by Eromosele Ebhomele -


Governors in the south west describe the call for Fulani residents' relocation to the north as unfortunate and retrogressive in a nation preaching unity - The governors say they are not happy with the elders of the north who made the call to Fulanis resident in the southern part of the country - Rotimi Akeredolu, chairman of the south west governors forum, says the organisation is working to end insecurity in the zone Governors from the south western part of Nigeria, on Friday, July 19, made their stand known concerning the call by the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) for Fulanis resident in to return to their homes.


The governors described the call for the Fulanis to leave the south and return to the north as most unfortunate, divisive and retrogressive. The Nation reports that the statement conveying the decision of the governors was signed by the forum’s chairman, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo state.


a letter from our Editor-in-Chief Bayo Olupohunda “With no intention to engage anyone, it is incumbent on us, as elected representatives of our people in the south west region of the country, to denounce this divisive and retrogressive statement in the strongest terms possible.


“The south west governors viewed the report with palpable trepidation and outrage, the sustained attempts to fan the ember of discord, seizing every opportunity offered by the current security challenge to undermine the unity and peaceful co-existence among Nigerians,” the statement said.

According to the governors, it is appalling that the tragic death of Funke Olakunrin, daughter of Pa Reuben Fasoranti, leader of Afenifere, would be used by certain persons to advance the cause of ‘parochial and prebendal politics’.

“We intend to get to the root of the sad occurrence as we await the findings of security agencies on the unfortunate incident,” the statement added.


The governors said they are aware of the antics of certain elements from all parts of the country, who want to take advantage of the challenge. They noted that Nigeria has a rich history and has encountered adversities in the course of her transition to nationhood.


Legit.ng earlier reported that President Muhammadu Buhari recently called on all Nigerians to ignore the recent call by the Northern Elders Forum (NEF) to Fulanis to leave the southern part of Nigeria. The president's call came in a statement on Wednesday, July 17, by his senior special assistant on media and publicity, Garba Shehu.

Saw this picture and it kind of cracked up my ribs

Anyone who kill or commit a horrible unacceptable crime shouldn't be ascribed to any particular tribe but the individual not even to his family.


So because someone is a thief the whole family is a thief no now....



Learn to differentiate between the person and his people. Stop playing politics with your conscience. The conscience is very sensitive, you could corrupt your heart and make it unfeelable.


Call a spade what it is and stop maligning others into someone's affairs

This is your last warning. You can type whatever you want to type but Stop joking with the name of the Lord God.

Our God almighty has nothing to do with this monumental failure called Nigeria. Instead of using the name of the Lord God, use the name luggard.

Next time say, "May the spirit of Lord luggard and his ashawo wife, bless Nigeria"....

The next time you joke with the name of our Lord God, I'll trace you and plank you to death. Afterall, the Bible said "suffer not a witch to live" [/s]

Deal with your wife, who is insisting you don't go out again... Fool


Because you are often drunk when you are back from your kinkin drinking competition

The so called Afenifere PDP context has lambasted every move of this administration owing to their hatred and lack of participation in the present government.

Coupled with their unjust hatred for the APC leader Asiwaju Tinubu who is a nightmare to some of them. Every killing in Nigeria according to the demonic conscienceless group is being perpetrated by the Fulani extremists according to their Intel Pentium.


When will they learn to live and and let live. Before I was born we have lived together with one another especially with the headers and footers. These Fulanis have always lived in our neighbourhood without hurting a fly including the so called farm land they claim has been vandalized by these innocent, suffering extraction of folks who has suffered

Untold hardship from irresponsible folks like Nnamdi Kanu and his likes who is without shame and could do whatever just to gain cheap political points.




Live and let live. No matter the height of irresponsible reports coming out from the heart of these unscrupulous people Nigeria will match on and for sure most of them won't live to see the greatness of Nigeria.



Anyone who kill or commit a horrible unacceptable crime shouldn't be ascribed to any particular tribe but the individual not even to his family.

Does your church embrace
Masons for membership
or leadership?


What does the Bible say?


I have often addressed the confusing and controversial subject of Freemasonry. My 2003 DVD "Freemasonry vs. Christianity: The Bible, The Lodge, and You" is one of the longest videos we have ever produced at nearly two hours in length. In particular, my concern has been the spiritual implications of mixing Christianity and the Lodge. Recently, I received an email from someone asking for help concerning this issue.

The email explained that a couple, who are Lodge members, have appealed to the leadership of the writer's home church to become members and now, though the church constitution forbids the church from accepting members of secret societies, the church is now considering changing their church constitution to allow Masons to become members. Below is my response.


Here are some ideas and facts that may help you communicate why Christianity and Freemasonry are not biblically compatible.

I know it appears very narrow at first glance but I believe that membership in Masonry is a make-it-or-break-it issue because of the dark, even demonic roots of Freemasonry. This doesn’t mean that everyone involved with the Lodge is demon possessed or a bad person. Many in the Lodge are there because they thought it was a “Christian” civic group and have been led there by friends, family and even clergy. Of course we don't want to deter Masons from attending church, but where do we draw the line? After all, Christians know that Jesus is the answer for the spiritual lost and deceived. Shouldn't we desire everyone to find the help and hope offered through a born-again relationship with Christ, solid Bible teaching, and fellowship with others who've found His truth? Of course. But should we allow members of a group like Freemasonry or other cults more than a seat in the pew? The biblical answer is absolutely not.

If we are willing to follow the Scriptures in our decision-making then just the three short points I will share below should be sufficient to make the case. However, when Christian leaders endorse the notion that Lodge or Eastern Star members may jointly hold membership in a local church body as well they are in disagreement with Scripture. By doing so they are allowing the Enemy ample room to operate on many fronts.

Reason #1 - The Swearing of Secret Oaths

The fact is that most Christians do not understand and are ignorant about the workings of the Lodge but the very fact that one must swear an oath of secrecy and even pronouncing a death curse on one’s own self in each of the first three degrees (Blue Lodge) should be a strong statement to biblical Christians that something is askew. Here’s part of the first and third degree oaths from the Masonic Blue Lodge ceremony taken directly out of the Lodge handbook.

“As this I most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, binding myself under no less a penalty than that of having my throat cut from ear to ear, my tongue torn out by its roots and with my body, buried in the sands of the sea at low-water mark, where the tide ebbs flows twice in twenty-five hours, should I ever knowingly or willfully violate or transgress this, my Entered Apprentice obligation. So help me God and make me steadfast to keep and perform the same.”
(First Degree)

“All this I most solemnly and sincerely promise and swear, binding myself under no less penalty than that of having my body severed in two, my bowels torn from thence and burned to ashes, and these scattered before the four winds of Heaven, that no more remembrance might be had among men or Masons of so vile a wretch as I should be, should I in the least knowingly or willfully violate or transgress this, my Master Mason obligation. So help me God and make me steadfast…”
(Third Degree)

In Matthew 5:34-37 Jesus said, "But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."

Reason #2 - Masonry is NOT Christian in Creed or in its "god"

If Jesus admonition against swearing oaths weren't enough, masonry’s own most noted writers denote it as a religion and one, Albert Mackey, makes certain to proclaim that that religion is NOT Christianity.

“Freemasonry is NOT Christianity nor a substitute for it…but the religion of Masonry is not sectarian. It admits men of every creed within its hospitable bosom, rejecting none and approving none for his particular faith…Masonry is, indeed, a religious institution…”
The Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, p. 618-619, Albert G. Mackey, 1921

“Every Masonic Temple is a Temple of Religion, and its teachings are instructions in religion.”
The Lost Keys of Freemasonry, p. 213
Manly P. Hall, 33o, Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Co, Richmond, VA, 1976

"God is equally present with the pious Hindu in the temple, the Jew in the synagogue, the Mohammedan in the mosque, and the Christian in the church." Albert Mackey, Mackey's Revised Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Richmond: Macoy Publishing, 1966, 1:409-410.

At the Shrine level (32nd and 33rd degree Masons), the initiate swears a binding oath in the name of "Allah, the God of our Fathers." This might clear up for some why the motif of the Shriners is Islamic (including the crescent moon, star, and sword: the three primary symbols of Islam) and why so many Shrine centers around the world have Arabic names.

The deity spoken of again and again in Masonic writings is JoBulOn (also JoaBulOn), which is a composite god representing Jehovah, Baal, and Osiris. Whenever the Mason pronounces that name in the Masonic prayer of worship, they probably have no idea that in doing so they have defiled the Holy name of God.

Reason #3 - Masonry Espouses Universalism

Perhaps most convicting is the fact that universalism and a false identity of God are clearly presented in the introduction pages of the King James Bibles that are handed out to Blue Lodge graduates (3rd degree). I personally have Masonic Bibles from Washington, Idaho, Texas, and South Carolina that clearly enunciate that Masonry accepts all religions as valid paths to “the nameless one of a hundred names.” This idea is an affront to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ! If Hinduism or Islam were paths to meet the one true God then why would that God have sent His Son to die such an awful and needless death?

Here is a quote from the introduction pages of the Masonic Bible.

“For Masonry knows, what so many (religions) forget, that religions are many, but Religion is ONE…Thus by the very honor which Masonry pays to the Bible, it teaches us to revere every book of faith in which men find help for today and hope for the morrow, joining hands with the man of Islam as he takes oath on the Koran, and with the Hindu as he makes covenant with God upon the book that he loves best... Therefore, it (Masonry) invites to its altar men of all faiths, knowing that, if they use different names for 'the Nameless One of a hundred names,' they are yet praying to the one God and Father of all; knowing, also, that while they read different volumes, they are in fact reading the same vast Book of the Faith of Man." (emphasis added)
- Introduction pages (5-6) of The Holy Bible Masonic Edition (South Carolina Lodges) copyright 1957, A.J. Holman Company, Philadelphia, PA

Here are more statements from Masonic writers that affirm the heresy of universalism.

“The true Mason is not creed-bound. He realizes with the divine illumination of his lodge that as a Mason his religion must be universal: Christ, Buddha, or Mohammed, the name means little, for he recognizes only the light and not the bearer. He worships at every shrine, bows before every altar, whether in temple, mosque or cathedral, realizing with his truer understanding the oneness of all spiritual truth.”
The Lost Keys of Freemasonry, p. 65
Manly P. Hall, 33o, Macoy Publishing and Masonic Supply Co, Richmond, VA, 1976

“Be assured that God is equally present with the pious Hindu in his temple, the Jew in the synagogue, the Muslim in the mosque and the Christian in the church.”
Mackey’s Revised Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, Albert Mackey

These teachings stand in direct contradiction to Acts 4:12 -
"Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved."

The Bible isn't just one of the paths to God. It isn't just a place to find truth. It represents the only truth revealed from God and contains the only place to find the only path to God. Jesus Christ is the one savior and the one way. Believing He is but one of many ways stands in direct contradiction to the Bible.

So, Masonry is:
- A religion but not Christian in nature
- A religious system requiring secret oaths demanding allegiance and silence
- Universalistic

Closing Thoughts

Instead of a Church going out of its way to change their constitution and accept people attached to Masonry into its midst as members perhaps it would be good to alert the Masons as to exactly what Masonry is and the spiritual darkness that it represents? Nice people are involved in Masonry but the demonic nature of Masonry is to be exposed and not excused. If we allow those in our midst to remain comfortably involved in an organization with so many demonic roots do we not sin against them, ourselves, God's Word, and God Himself? As uncomfortable and confrontational as it may sound, we do Masons no service by giving them a pass on the nature, history and beliefs of Freemasonry. The Christian should consider the results of our often timid silence. Would we rather see Masons eternally perish in the false religious veneer offered by the Lodge? Will the quest to gain their human favor or being too intimidated to ruffle feathers stand up as excuses before God someday?

If we are to uphold the teachings of the Bible, the very identity of God, and the utmost importance and exclusivity of Jesus Christ as the only way (John 14:6, etc.), Masonry must be seen for what it is, an enemy of the Cross. This is indeed the case no matter how nice, or important, or sincere any man or woman may be who wants to claim for themselves both the Lodge and the Church, for these institutions are forever mutually exclusive according to Scripture and even Masonic authorities themselves.

A Final warning to Church Leaders

Scripture is clear concerning the mixing or fellowship of light with darkness (II Cor. 6:14-18, Eph. 5:10-11). Allowing one who willfully or ignorantly swears allegiance to a false god to participate in membership or leadership in a church body not only short circuits God's protection and blessing but will sooner or later result in God's judgment. Perhaps just as troubling is that Masonry replicates through its members. Left unchecked, in time this leaven will spread in your midst (Gal. 5:9) resulting in new converts to Masonry and improved working conditions for Satan.

I would suggest that you extract some or all of the information I've shared here to use when speaking to the pastor and elders. I hope these thoughts help and give you ideas on how to present the case that Freemasonry in all forms is not compatible with biblical Christianity.
