29TH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR II 17/10/2021.
READINGS: ISA.53:10-11, HEB.4:14-16, MARK.10:35-45.

THEME: HEAVENLY TICKET IS NEVER WIN OR A PLATTER OF GOLD.

At the fall of a man he remained helpless and spiritually dead. He cannot on his own help himself to regain the lost Paradise. Only Eternal being can save him from his eternal darmination! Thus God who is mercy and love commenced fashioning the salvation of man the very day man defaulted and lost His grace. To the deceptive snake God said, "Because you have done this ... I shall put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; it will bruise your head and you will strike it's heel" (Gen. 3:14-15). This promise of Messiah God continually renewed through His prophets which Isiah was one of them.

In the first reading of today, Prophets Isaiah picking one of his famous theme - "The suffering servant" narrates how God had willingly surrendered His son to undergo such excruciating suffering for the redemption of mankind. Saint Paul rightly states that "All have sinned and lacked God's glory" (Rome. 3:23). It is for this fact that the Messiah will use His life to attorn for our sins, and reintegrate us into God's household. This is because it is the legitimate children that usually inherit their father's properties. Through the expected Messiah God will accomplish his wish of redeeming the mankind.

"By His suffering shall my servant justify many" (Isa. 53:11). In our spiritual journey, it becomes obvious that sufferings come in diverse ways. Namely, suffering as a consequence of misbehaviour (called sin), suffering embarked upon for self purification and suffering undertaken for the purification and justification of others. The latter was the mission of our Lord, Jesus Christ. On the other hand, the "Justification or many" does not in anyway suggest the inability of Christ to save all but the unwillingness of all to embrace the salvation He offered. Put differently, Christ died for all but only those who live according to His rules of life will benefit from His death and resurrection.

The second reading states that although Christ could have saved mankind from His darmination using any other alternative method but He decided coming in human form - the pitiable state man found himself after his fall. Again, in accepting human nature, he avoided the rich and the king but chose a poor and humble family. From his conception, birth, earthly ministry and death he identified with problems and sufferings afflicting humanity. Some of the Igbo adages say: O ji eze ari enu maara Osisi na eluilu (It is only one climbing tree, using his teeth that will detect the bitter stem), Nani nwanyi na - egwu ogiri maara ijiji Anya kporo, Aka nodobe nti O mata ya ura, Imi nodebe eze O Mara nke na - esisi: The author thus encourages us to approach our Lord in and with confidence because not only as God he understands our difficulties but also as God/man, he had undergone the same experiences as we are presently passing through.

Again, he is the Al time king, Prophet and Priest. By his kingship he rules and extend God's Kingdom on earth (Your Kingdom come, your be ...), by his prophetic power he continues instructing us on God's way while as a Priest, he performs the dual role of offering sacrifice for us and interceding for us.

In the gospel reading the two sons of Zebedee lobbied for the two most influential positions in our Lord's ministry - sitting at his right and left hands. True, man is a being constituted of body and soul yet he is a citizen on earth journeying to his permanet heavenly abode. Hence the idea of Jesus as a political Messiah as understood by the two brothers, James and John is completely an aberration. Before Pilate he categorically said "My Kingdom is not of this world" (Jn. 18:36). Thus Jesus having heeded the call of his father, he came into the world, suffered for us and was now gloriously sitting at the right hand of the Father, we must also suffer for him in this world if we expect to be with him in heaven.

CONCLUSION
From the three readings of today, it becomes clear that suffering is part of our Christian calling. There are sufferings very necessary in our daily life. They do not portend Divine rejected but sharing in Christ's suffering as to share in his glorious resurrection. Like the two brothers, James and John who were prepared to drink the cup our Lord is to drink (cf Mark. 10:38) just for the earthly glory they were craving for we must also be all out to embrace whatever cross that will propel us to eternal kingdom!

28TH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR .II. 10/10/2021.
READINGS: WIS. 7:7-11, HEB. 4:12-13, MARK. 10:17-30.
THEME: SEEK YOU FIRST GOD'S KINGDOM AND ALL OTHER THINGS WILL BE GIVEN AS WELL (MATT. 6:33).

The author of the book of wisdom tells us how he acquired understanding and spirit of Wisdom _ through ernest prayer. Once given, he embraced and valued them Sceptres (mkpala ochichi), thrones (Okpoeze), riches (Akunauba), priceless stone (ulari okwute di okeonu), health or wealth. For him, gold is a pinch of sand while silver is a mud when compared to this wisdom! This enables him Peirce and understands every other things from it's proper perspective.

But what is or who is this Wisdom? This is God! Recall that when Solomon (the author of the book oot Wisdom) was crowned the king of Israel, God asked him to name what he would like Him do for him (cf 1Kg. 3:4-5). He asked for Wisdom for effective governance (cf 1Kg. 3:6-10). God said to him "Since you have asked for this, and not asked for long lif for yourself or riches or the lives of your enemies but have asked for a discerning judgment for yourself, here and now I do what you ask. I give you a heart wise and shrewd as no one has before and no one will have after you. What you have not asked I shall give you too such riches and glory you as no other king can match. And I shall give you a life, if you follow my ways ..." (1Kg. 4:11-14).

Note that Solomon did not ask for Wisdom in order to bamboozle his subjects but to enhance good governance. Often times many people see power in whatever form and shape as opportune time to defraud, embezzle intimidate his people and amass wealth for his great grand children. Solomon knew the essence of leadership and went for it which is Wisdom _ the God Himself. Solomon had made a perfect choice. Our Lord had advised, "Se k you first God's kingdom and all these other things will be given as well" (Matt. 6:33).

The response of today's Psalm says: "Fill us with your love that we may rejoice" (Ps. 89:14). Here the Psalmist acknowledges and rightly too that man's only source of happiness is his love of God and love from God. This Divine love is alternative way of saying Divine Wisdom. In the number one stanza of the Psalm, the Psalmist implored God to make us realised the shortness of our life to enable us search and gain the wisdom of heart. Man, the finite being had pursed with vigour the trifle and passing things of this world to utter neglect things of eternity. It is this Divine Wisdom that will sanitize man and make him set his priorities right. The second stanza requests God to give man his joy which counterbalance his affliction. This is because as Saint Augustine says "Our hearts are restless untill they rest in you".

The second reading reminds us that God's words must never remain dormant in us but must be aliv and active. It remains a searchlight that beams light into our inner selves to know the extent of our compliance to our Christian vocation: Before, there is no hidden agenda as it lays bare our secret actions and thoughts. "Everything is uncovered and open to the eyes of the one to whom we must give account of ourselves" (Heb. 4:13).

In the gospel of today, we witness the active and lively word of God in action. Jesus had just finished his preaching and was about going to another place when a man so touched by His words knelt before Him, requesting to know "What I must do to inherit eternal life"? (Mk. 10:17). Unfortunately, he was still at the middle class of keeping to God's words. To put him in a perfect way, Jesus told him "There is one thing you lack. Go and sell everything you own and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me" (Mk. 10:21). He was said to have went away sad, "For he was a man of great wealth" (Mk. 10:22). That was being, he lacked wisdom. Moreso, he valued a tenaciously clings to the things of the world.

Let us obey God by firstly seeking God's kingdom and expect from Him benevolence of his earthly blessings.

THE LORD BE WITH YOU.

27TH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR II 3/10/2021.
READINGS: GEN. 2:18-24, HEB. 2:9-11, MARK. 10:2-16.
THEME: WHAT THEREFORE GOD HAS JOINED TOGETHER, LET NOT MAN PUT ASUNDER MATT. 10:6

In the second account of creation, the Bible tells us that man was created after other things were created, (cf Gen. 2:7). God later settled him in the garden of Eden, making him overseer of other creatures. Not withstanding enormous and glorious responsibilities given to man, he remained unfilled. He had everything with him and for him except an intimate and reasonable companion God indeed acknowledged that "It is not right that the man should be alone. I shall make him a helper"(Gen. 2:18).

The delay in fashioning a woman for man was not due to "Imperfection" of God but rather his deliberate action to teach man the value of woman is his life. Thus when God acknowledged of man needing a helper, it comprised those things they can jointly do such as provision of family needs, training of their children etc and those things that exclusively belong to females; such as conception, giving birth etc.

The church teachs that goes is the author of marriage. It is one of the major ways he uses to show love to man his Creatures. It is a solemn partinership of one man and one woman who consented freely and willingly to live together all the days of their life for their good and for the transmission of human life.

For marriage to be celebrated validly, the following four elements must be present.

i. The spouses are free to marry (Hence the calling of banns etc).
ii. The freely exchange their consent (No coercion by parent's) or threat by any of th partners)

iii. The consenting is unconditional, that is, they must have the intention to marry for life, remaining faithful to one another. Marriage is neither a holiday making nor going on sabbatical leave.
iv. Their consent is given in the presence of the priest celebrant and two witnesses (call canonical form)

THE HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF MARRIAGE
As stated earlier, God is the author of marriage. Consent, not withstanding the variation of celebration from people to people marriage is not purely human institution but rather divinely instituted. At creation of man, God made other creatures available to and for him. However, God disposed his soul to intensely yearn and crave for his likes and from man himself fashioned his companion called woman. This kindest gesture God did, not just for Adam but all his descendants. "That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united with his wife and they become one" (Gen. 2:24). Marriage is therefore a reunion or separated bones at the creation of woman. It is the re-making of one, that made two by creation of woman . While courtship may be described as a search for the missing bone, marriage is a re-integration of the "deterched" bone to the main stream of the "main" bone.

SINS AGAINST MARRIAGE AND CONJUGAL CHASTITY
The church teachs in an unmistakable term that marriage may only be between one man and one woman with each coming to it with free and will consent for the good of themselves and for the transmission of life.

It is the teaching of the church that adultery, divorce, remarriage after divorce, marriage without intention of begetting children, polygamy, in**st, trial marriage etc are sins against marriage.

Apart from insisting on the chastity of marriage, she points out sins against marriage which include; lust, ma********on, fornication, po*******hy, prostitution, rap, homosexuality etc.

She totally condemns the trending same-sex marriage and it's legalisation by some developed countries. She sees such environment as very unfavorable doe raising of children.

SOME MAJOR MARRIAGE CLASSROOM LESSONS
1. Marriage and family are about the glory of God. Apart from the couples' personal gains, remember that it was primarily created by God for the reproduction of his image.
2. Marriage is taking place on a spiritual battlefield not on a romantic balcony. Thus if Satan can attack Adam and Eve's marriage, yours may also be attacked. Be vigilant!
3. Never regard your spouse as your enemy but see in him or her the image of God.

4. Remember that the couple that prays together stays together.
5. Isolation is a systematic killer of relationship.
6. It is impossible to experience marriage from Divine perspective without being generous forgivers to each other.
7. Marriage without mutual love stands threatened.
8. Every couple needs a good mentor _ one who has been there before you.
9. Avoid threatening your part with the word divorce.
10. Your partner (wife) is your number one disciple
11. Hardship is a test either to part or to forge. Chose the latter.
12. Communication is a lubricant in this life - journey relationship.
13. No shepherd has t need beyond what the flock can follow.
14. Build your marriage to outlast your kids.

In the gospel of today, Jesus maintains the permanent nature of a validly contracted marriage. Moses allowed you of divorce not because God permitted it but because of your stubborness of hearts. This stubborness of hearts persist even in our own time. But you Christ faithful, "You must judge whether in God's eyes it is right to listing to yourself and not to God" (Acts. 4:19). "So then what God has united, man must not divide"(Mark. 10:9).

26TH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR II 26/9/2021.
READINGS: NUM.11:25-29, JM.5:1-6, MK. 9:38-43,45,47-48
THEME: THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD BLOWS WHEREVER HE WILLS (Jn.3:8)

Saul was officially the first king of Israel. That became possible when they rejected their Theocratic system of governance. Saul could not last as a king as he disobeyed God in his first war outing, (cf 1Sam. 15:1-9). God made it clear to Samuel saying "I regret having made Saul king since he had broken his allegiance to me and not carried out my order" (1Sam. 15:11).

God later instructed Samuel to travel down to Bethlehem to the house of Jesse, "For I have found myself a king from among his son" (1Sam.16:1). In line of his spirit blowing wherever he will, he specifically told Samuel "I shall reveal to you what you must do, and you will anoint for me the one I indicate to you" (1Sam. 16:3).

Jesse had eight sons, among whom were: Eliab, Abinadab, Shammah, etc. David was the youngest of them. At the presentation of Eliab, Samuel had wanted to impose his thought against God's earlier advise, but He reiterated "Take no notice of his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him, God does not see as human being see; they look at appearances but Yahweh, looks at the heart" (ISam. 16:7). Samuel had wanted to influence God by the age, heights, or appearance. And when David was finally presented, God promptly told Samuel: "Get up and anoint him; he is the one" (1Sam. 16:12).

Quite often we pass judgement based on appearance forgetting or disregarding the inner disposition of the person. We see ourselves and others who appeal to us as encyclopedia of wisdom and knowledge and epitome of holiness. Some of us even go extra mile of making mental screening and recommending qualifiers for heavenly tickets and the damned!

The first and gospel readings of today authenticate the assertion of the theme of our today's reflection. The heavy workload of Moses had prompted him to seek more assistance from God. "Assemble seventy respected men who are recognized as leaders by the people, bring them to me at the Tent of my presence, and let them stand beside you there, I shall come down and talk to you there and shall take some of the spirit which is on you and put it on them" (Num.11:16-17). Two out of the seventy enrolled members, Eldad and Medad for undisclosed reason(s) were not at the scheduled Tent of meeting but in camp. Since they were among the enrolled members and being in spirit with them the blowing spirit of the Lord was able to locate and touch them and like the rest of the enrolled they prophesied. Those who were not conversant with the blowing of Divine Spirit made concerted efforts to have them stopped. To Joshua who was one of them Moses said "Are you jealous on my account? If only God people were prophets, and God had given them his spirit" (Num.11:29).

In the gospel reading of today, John one of the 'sons of thunder' (cf Mk.3:17) said to Jesus "Master, we saw a man who is not one of us casting out devils; and because he was not one of us we tried to stop him" (Mk. 9:38). Note that the man's offense was that "He was not one of us". What us? Probably because he was not one of apostles, disciples or even a regular follower of Jesus. But certainly you can never deny him of being a believer in Jesus. For the Master had spoken, "No one who works a miracle in my name is likely to speak evil of me" (Mk. 9:29).

OBSERVATION AND CONCLUSION

1. The traveling distance of the Spirit of God is boundless hence your prayer of faith here can be effective for someone abroad. For the wind (Spirit) blows where it pleases.
2. In the affairs of the Spirit, physical absence does not deter spiritual affliction. That was why Eldad and Medad were able to align themselves with the other enrolled members who were at the Tent of meeting.
3. In the choice of positions and leadership, God does not usually judge by physical appearance, rather I, "Yahweh looks at the heart" (1Sam. 16:7).
4. Often times, he goes for what by human rating is abysmally low for there are aboudance of it in the Bible. For as the scripture says "God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong" (1Cor.1:27).
5. Finally, one does not need to be an apostle or a top hierarchy before becoming Divine instrument. For "The wind blows where it pleases .... So it is with everyone who is born of Spirit" (Jn.3:8). This means that the person must conform to the church set down rules. The spirit given to Moses and later shared to others is the spirit of faithfulness. Consequently, one working using the name of Jesus must work with him and in him. Thus, one is not against him gathers in his name.

25TH SUNDAY OF THE YEAR II 19/9/2021
READINGS: WIS. 2:12, 17-20, JAMES. 2:16-4:8, MK. 9:30-37.

THEME: ENDURING OUR SUFFERING IN CHRIST.

The Bible tells us that "It was at Antioch that the disciples were first called christians" (Acts. 11:26). Being a Christian means being Christ-like, not in appearance but following him in words and actions. It is doing away or avoiding all things that are inimical to Christian set principle of life. Any life built outside Christ is fake as it negates his Divinity and the character of his incarnate humanity.

In the second reading Saint James warns that jealousy and inordinate desires props up disharmony and all forms of wickedness. On the other hand, wisdom from God enhances peace, compassion, doing good one acting according to the will of God is said to be godly or a child of God, while one who is acting according to dictate of his flesh and blood is called godless not because he is no longer created by God but because they have decided to isolate God from their lives.

The latter part of the above is the discussion of the first reading. "The godless say to themselves, let us lie in wait for the virtuous man, since he annoys us and apposes our way of life" (Wis.2:12). The sin of the just were standing by the truth and reproaching those living against the Divine commandments. Thus while the righteous are through their lives promoting Divine Kingdom, the unrighteous by working down the righteous propagate and extend the influence of devil.

The reading continues, "Let us test him with cruelty and with torture, and thus explore this gentleness and put his endurance to the proof" (Wis. 2:12).

Ultimately, our Lord was prophetically being pictured ahead of his coming for our redemption. With his series of woes against the scribes and Pharisees (Matt. 23:13-32), his driving out of sellers and money changers (Mk. 11:15-19), his advocacy for the down trodden and elevation of the social status of women. All these and other actions of his had incured him the wrath of those who felt he had stepped on their toes.

"Let us test him with cruelty and with torture, and thus explore this gentleness of his and put his endurance to the proof" (Wis. 2:19). They came after him armed with swords and clubs which made him to wonder if he is a thief (cfMatt. 26:55). He was later spals on face and hit with their (cf Matt. 26:67). He was mercilessly scourged. To make a mockery of his kingship, "they twisted some thorns into a crown and put it on his head and dressed him in a purple robe" (Jn. 19:2). He was meant to carry the cross of his crucifixion. He was not spared of the abusive words of one of the criminals crucified beside him (cf Lk. 23:35). Extremely thirsty, instead of water, "Putting in sponje soaked in the wine on a hyssop stick, the hailed it up to his mouth" (Jn. 19:29). To project their hatred to him, even when certified dead "One of the soldiers pierced his side with Lance; and immediately their came out blood and water" (Jn. 19:34).

All the above were some of the major ways they tested 'the tested him cruelty and torture' in order to explore his gently and endurance. He proved to be meek and humble of heart when Peter cut off one the ears of the the mob (cf Jn. 18:10). Jesus cautioned him: "Put your sword back, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword" (Matt. 26:52). To the repentant thief he said "Today you will be with me in paradise" (Lk. 23:43). At the excruciating pains on the cross, he was able to forgive those who directly or indirectly took part in his crucifixion "Father, forgive, they do not know what they are doing" (Lk. 23:33).

Today, our faith is also been tested by human and events of the world. Our endurance are been challenged by circumstances threatening our beliefs. Let us follow the foot steps of our master. For he had invited us to himself saying: "Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.... for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light (Matt. 28:30). Just as Simeon met and helped our Lord in carrying his cross to calvary, may our Lord and fellow good people meet us at our point of need even as we carry our cross.

THE LORD BE WITH YOU.

23RD SUNDAY OF THE YEAR II 5/9/2021.
READINGS: ISA.4-7, JAMES.2:1-5, MARK. 7:31-37.
THEME: GOD IN CHRIST HAS COME TO FULFIL HIS PROMISE TO HIS PEOPLE.

One of the numerous Igbo proverb states that "Aguu nwere nchekwube anaghi egbuegbu". _ A hungry man with positive expectation of food cannot be starved to death. The first reading o today presents the same picture with the above proverb. God through his prophets promised of saving his people from their impressive neighbouring enemies and other ravaging diseases plaguing the people. He urges the fearful heart to be courageous and expect his coming.

His era would be marked with sight for the blind, hearing for the deaf, walking for the lame, speech for the dumb while the desert will enjoy water. This Divine blessing and restoration has material and spiritual dimensions. True God used the people of Israel to commence his restoration of his children to his domain, but on a temporary bases. When they were turned into slavery in Egypt, they cried unto him and he swiftly came to their rescue and settled them in the land he promised them.

That which God did to them he will in future do for humanity in general but more in a spiritual realm in the case, the entire world becomes our 'Egypt'. And as starvation due to famine forced the people of Israel to relocate to Egypt, the sin of disobedience of our first parents ( Adam and Eve) that resulted to our being exiled into the world. Amidst sever hardship and disillusionment they cried to God who through Moses led them out or Egypt to the land of promise after eating of the spotless Lamb and smearing their door lintels with it's blood which enabled the avenging angels to pass them over and struck down their first make sons and animals to death.

Jesus on the other hand came to emancipate the entire world from the shackles of Satan. In him all the promises God the Father made to the people of Israel came to perfect fulfilment! God had sacramentally used the Jews to showcase mission to entire world. It was not th n surprising that when he made to the synagogue after his successful encounter with Satan in the desert; h read out his mission statement from the Bible. "The spirit of the Lord is on me, for he has annointed me to bring the good news to afflicted. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captive, sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim a year a favour from the Lord (Luke,4:18). To the mammoth congregants in the synagogue he responded; "This text is being fulfilled today even while you are listening" (Lk. 4:21).

In the cause of his Public Ministry, John the Baptist had from Prison sent his disciple to ascertain from Jesus if he is the expected Messiah _ the Emmanuel promised from the ages. His response very clear. "God back and tell John what you hear and see; the blind see again, and the lame walk, those suffering from virulent skin diseases are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised to life and the good news is proclaimed to the poor ..." (Matt.11:4-5). This is in fulfilment of the in first reading.

In the gospel reading of today, Mark narrates his cure of the deaf to the admiration of the people who acknowledged that "He had done all things well, he makes the deaf hear and dumb speak" (Mk. 7:37). At the end of his earthly mission and having by words and deeds showed us way to the Father, he supremely and willingly sacrificed himself for our salvation. He became the real and worthy Lamb that was slain for our salvation (cf Rev. 5:12).

Having learnt a new and positive way of life from Christ, Saint James warns Christians of living double life. That is combining our faith in Jesus with things inimical to his set standard way of life to the believers. Among them being preferential treatment as reported by Saint James in the second reading, may God helps us to be true and faithful followers of his.

Nnamdi Kanu and The Terrorism of Nigeria

Nnamdi Kanu invokes in me some sort of paradoxical feelings that are so weird.

For example. . .

I don't like the way he talks, but I always want him to keep talking.

I feel his choice of words are harsh, yet I get angry because his words don't even do justice in describing the level of decay Nigeria is facing.

So these days, when I recall his voice and words, I think more on the injustices and killings that gave birth to the voice.

And when I watch the level of decay, the killings of innocent people, the nepotism, the terrorism, the kidnapping. . . And the fact that all these menaces seemed to have become normalized even in the mind of an average Nigerian, I can't help but wish we have more voices like Nnamdi Kanu's.

Just in case you don't know, Nigeria is the third most terrorized countries in the world after Afghanistan and Iraq.

Just take a second and imagine the countries we are in the same class with and even dragging position with. In fact, Nigeria is even leading Syria, Somalia, and Yemen in terrorism class. Pakistan is even coming to borrow notes from Nigeria class rep.

How do I sleep at night after seeing the corpses of those killed in Southern Kaduna and Jos? Even a child was among those butchered. It is insane!

What can be more horrifying than the fact that kidnapping of school children for ransom has become one of fastest growing businesses under this administration?

How do I make sense of the fact that unknown gunmen walked straight into the Nigeria Defence Academy –read slowly– N.i.g.e.r.i.a. D.E.F.E.N.C.E. A.c.a.d.e.m.y. . .and killed soldiers of high ranking, and till now we don't know them?

How do I reconcile the fact that Bokoharam members are been pardoned and rehabilitated and someone like Nnamdi Kanu is in prison and the day he was arrested, some so called Nigerians were jubilating.

Not having electricity is already normal to Nigerians. Then they added kidnapping and banditry. Now that everyone 'seemed' to be getting used to kidnappers and bandits, they have started increasing fuel prize.

Nigeria has never had it this bad.

Buhari will go down in history as Nigeria virus and the cause of "Nigeria pandemic". As it stands, the solutions open to Nigerians are: 1. Run away from the country by creating your own country so as to socially-distant yourselves from Nigeria virus, and 2. Mask your mouth and nose from perceiving the smells and pollution coming out from the "a**s" of this administration so you don't get used to it and begin seeing and smelling abnormalities as normal.

Because ordinarily, where should the common man run to?

Is it the police or judiciary? This administration has already pocketed them like naira notes. They remove and spray them like how the Cubanas spray Naira notes.

Or is it the legislators? Those ones are bunch of good-for-nothing, purposeless, and spineless folks. . . it would have been better if there was nothing like legislators.

Or is it the South East governors? Hmmmm. . . In the voice of Ola Rotimi, "Our husband has gone mad again."

NIGERIA AS IT IS, with her present structure, had never worked, cannot work and will never work.

Imprisoning Nnamdi Kanu is only a testament to the fact that there is something he is saying that this govt is afraid of. Silencing his voice like how they tried silencing the voice of Twitter users, victims of Lekki toll gate, only shows that the hidden plan this govt is trying to execute is yet to unfold. But God is bigger than them and will shock them all.
