People still don’t get how far Israel is willing to go.
Anyone tied to October 7, even if they only helped from the side, gets hunted. There’s a whole unit whose only job is finding these guys and taking them out or bringing them in. Similar brutality as the teams that hunted Nazis after the war. Very quiet, and patient.

Today they grabbed the head of Hamas internal security. That’s their own version of Shin bet too. One of the most senior guys. Pulled him out of Gaza.
He’s alive for some reason. He has information, names, how they hide their people. His life is finished. Even if Israel let him live, he'll wish the strike had killed him.

All who touch Israel are doomed to pay for it!

Nobody should be deceived by the bogus use of the word 'US firm '". The so-called firm is run by one Ikemefuna Okeke, aka Von Batter, the man Atiku is alleged to have given $ 1.2M, not naira, to try to find dirt on Tinubu.

Because he has no result to show, the man now creates micro news on the topic to prove to Atiku that he is on top of things, the same tactics that yahoo boiz keep their clients busy with bogus updates so that they can keep getting money from their victims.

How has the President of the United States of America been addressed especially President Donald Trump? Cool leaders keep their eyes on their goals and don't get distracted by folks who address them rightly or wrongly. They deal with folks who address them rightly or wrongly by detailing some aides to handle that! Bwala, Onanuga et all deal with that. Von Batten-Montague is working to justify fees received and will fail at the job of destroying the credibility of President Tinubu. Abubakar Atiku will, in a few months, come to terms with his life!

What Rotimi Amaechi could not do! I find President Tinubu a very ambitious political leader. I hope he works harder at cutting down on waste and corruption. Electricity is now good where I live. That promise he made is now fulfilled. He is moving Nigeria in the right direction and we should be praying for and supporting him so he can succeed.

Elena243:
I have noticed that people stare at me a lot when I am outside. And no, I am not overacting. Sometimes, I consciously observe others around me and notice that they barely get stared at the way I do. These stares sometimes come with flashes of benevolent smiles from random strangers. Sometimes, the smiles are those types someone give when they have something to say but choose not to say it.

I sometimes think it is because of my height, because I am about 6’2-6’3 (I’ve never measured my height by the way). But the trend continues even when I’m seated, and hard to measure my height. A teen girl and her friend were staring at me the other day, while I was walking, that one almost got hit by a keke napep.

Even children walking by stare at me. Sometimes with a smile, and other times, with eyes of curiosity. I have no physical disability or defect by the way.

I am male, dark-skinned in complexion, and 28 years old. Is this normal? Does anyone experience same? Any possible reason why it happens?

You are not sufficiently focused on life. Keep a focus on your life and not on others and you will soon get noticed for making positive impact instead of receiving stares!

Nothing new here

This dude should tell us another story.

From my own observation, this Von-Whatever is just trying too hard to please his pay Masters.

90% of world leaders even Donald Trump all faced criminal charges after elections.

Am so angry right now, this fools!sh opposition are not doing enough or hitting Tinubu enough, they are not even frightening him. No wonder he ignored them and left for Europe. THIS IS CALLED SEE FINISH

May God help us

Netanyahu has had to deal with such for like eons now. Trump is riding the storms of such. Tinubu is handling such admirably. Atiku's doctors sure are on standby to keep his blood pressure from boiling over when the talk is about Tinubu.

Who gave him the podium?

Racoon:
Which promises?
-1). Promise of fuel subsidy that has ended up as one of the biggest scam of the corrupt Tinubu-led APC govt?

-2). Promise of fighting corruption that have ironically been the basis and long legalized as official policy of the govt. All corrupt cases are buried.

-3). Promise of providing 24 hours electricity that ended a flop & more economic woes for the citizens & folding up of many SMEs with many struggling to get alternate source of energy? Not forgotten that Aso Rock itself disconnected from the epileptic national grid for solar panels?

-4). Promises revamping the 3 majors refineries in Nigeria today that ended up with billions of $ TAM with no functional refinery till date. What about the modular refineries?

So now, where is our moral compass as a nation, especially for the younger generation coming up? That they can cut corners on the way top provided they have deep pockets?

Promise No.3 for which I previously was set to not vote for Tinubu has now been kept where I live as I now have stable electricity close to 18 hours in 24 hours.

“DID YOU CALL THE ELECTION A RELIGIOUS WAR?” – Interviewer

Peter Obi: Charles whatever you call it, whatever anybody wants to make of it, it’s fine with me

For a question that requires just yes or no oooo

That was a very simple and straightforward question but trust Obi never to answer the question, rather he will go on to fabricate a story about having one shoe, one wristwatch, one house, one car and the cook preparing one cow per day

Consistently slimy. These days Peter Obi’s desperation to become President has led to insults on happy Nigerians. He is sad and leads the sad!

We complain about brain drain and here we are advertising the brain to be drained!🙄

He might just be representing the President at the next UNGA🧐

C'mon, Don't call me Tony!!! Don't!!!!

The question now is between Atiku and Obi, who falls into this bracket?

There is no such thing as an embarrassment awaiting President Tinubu. Every statement made by Von the Atiku lobbyist will be fact-checked by the U.S. Government for correctness before President Trump is advised to keep an appointment with President Tinubu. Meanwhile take a look at the attached document that Von pretends to not know about. I’m convinced President Tinubu is allowing Von fool around.

Thats's how much Abubakar Atiku loves Nigeria. He is so desperate about becoming the President that he does not mind bringing down the roof on himself and Tinubu and the country. He will fail. Von is working to justify his fees.

Abubakar Atiku must be on the ballot. Peter Obi will do well to be nominated as his Vice-President while Rotimi Amaechi and Donald Duke and the SDP Candidate can be lined up for key Ministerial posts.

TimeManager:
This lobbying guy is using the head of the bitter pipu to play table tennis. He knows the more he tweets about this dead rubber issue, the more it excites their followers hoping in vanity. Even Hundeyin had long knew it all ends in futility and that's why he had stopped wasting his energy a wild goose chase.

-Kiss the truth!

Von must justify the fees.

ocnovakmichael:
Agree with God's word because it is the truth

I thought we were sharing the word together. I am not in an argument with you here. I agree with the word of God. He upholds all things by the word of His power! Acts 10:38 is very clear on the place of Power in life and ministry. Power shreds frustration! Philippians 3:10 is very explicit that knowing God grants access to the power of His resurrection resident in a Christian since Acts 1:8 you shared elaborately.

One reason I like Trump is that he tells us what we already know and is not given to hiding behind a finger!! It is not in doubt that Iran will pay in full the cost of the war it is fighting with USA!!!

ocnovakmichael:
Acts 1:8
[8]But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

I'd suggest you read that text in this manner: "After that the Holy Ghost is come upon you, ye shall receive ability - the knowledge to witness unto me..."

Growing up as a child in the 90s I attended a primary school that was ran by Catholic missionaries. On our school badge was the school moto: "Knowledge is power." I didn't understand that phrase until the grew up and discovered that the most influential and powerful men of this world are those with a specialized kind of knowledge. The likes of Elon Musk, Bill Gate, Peter Thiel, Dangote, Einstein etc.

This brings home the idea that Jesus wants his disciples to be influential and powerful upon the earth in bringing many to Christ that is reason he sent the Holy Ghost upon them to endue them with the knowledge of the things of God's.

You see, many believers are still waiting for a "power surge" kind of experience when they talk about receiving the Holy Ghost.
They expect to shake, to shout, or fall under the anointing so powerfully during this experience. But that’s not what Jesus meant in Acts 1:8

Permit me to hold your hand and take you through the Scriptures.

We need to understand that the purpose of the Spirit upon a man is KNOWLEDGE
1 Corinthians 2:12 tells us why God gave us the Spirit:
"Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; *that we might know* the things that are freely given to us of God."

While the spirit of the world brings confusion, fear, and anxiety.
The Spirit of God brings KNOWLEDGE.
The word knowledge in Greek `gnosis` means insight, revelation, understanding.

Put slightly differently, If the Spirit is upon you, your primary evidence should be that you KNOW God more.

The "Power" in Acts 1:8 Is not an electric surge kind of experience, rather it is the power to testify about Jesus accurately.
Look closely at the verse. Jesus didn’t stop at "you shall receive power". He gave the purpose of that power: "...and ye shall be WITNESSES unto me"

In my undergraduate days at the university I did a course in philosophy "The Aristotle Four Principles of Causation." And one of those principles is causa finalis known as the principle of finality, which state that there's a final purpose of any thing, word, or idea. The final purpose of a car is not luxury but to commute man from point A to B at the least amount of time.

So, the purpose of "power" in Acts 1:8 is the knowledge to witness Christ. A witness in court doesn’t need the theatrics of demonstration. A witness needs FACTS.
He needs to know what he saw, what he heard, and be able to explain it clearly.

You cannot witness what you do not know.
That’s why Jesus said in John 15:26-27:
"But when the Comforter is come... he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness." In other words, the Spirit testifies of Christ first in us. Then we testify the same message.

We must understand that power without knowledge is just noise. This is why we have a lot of noise in the church but few witnesses:
Romans 10:2 "They have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge."

The apostles in Acts didn’t just shake. They preached with knowledge. You see, before the Holy Ghost came upon the apostles, Jesus sent them out to preach but they preached Christ they didn't know. They preached the kingdom without knowledge. But after the Holy Ghost came upon them and they receive the knowledge of the things of God by the Spirit, Peter stood and quoted Joel, Psalms, and David for 10 verses in Acts 2:16-36. That’s knowledge. Stephen gave Israel’s entire history from Abraham to Moses Acts 7. That’s knowledge. And Paul reasoned with the Jews out of the scriptures for three Sabbath days (three weeks) Acts 17:2-3. That’s knowledge.

Put somewhat differently, the "power" was clarity, boldness, and conviction that came from knowing.

In conclusion, the Holy Spirit came to make us Knowledgeable of the things of God. The Holy Spirit did not come upon you to make you vibrate and have a spiritual sensation, he came upon you to make you KNOW.

A better way to read Acts 1:8 is " After that the Holy Ghost is come upon you, you shall receive the ability to know and declare Me..." because scripture says, "...we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God."



Do not hoard knowledge, propagate!

Jesus is Lord

In the end the focus is power! Knowledge lets you into power!

In Nigeria as said by General Olusegun Obasanjo election is war. Who goes to war without first accessing his weapons and putting his men and strategy together 🧐🧐🧐. When he returns his older brother Atiku will struggle to catch his breath!
