MUST WE ALWAYS COPY

-
Nigeria since her Amalgamation in 1914 and independence in 1960 have always waited in the wings for others to act and we copy. This act has now been entrenched in our national lives and has gradually crept into our religious circle. The kind of political and religious leadership we have over the years have further exacerbated this malicious trend and if left unabated, will continue to give us negative image in the international community. 

The reason why our case is always different is the fact that people who we entrust the affairs of this country are over dependent and xenocentric ( seeing people way of doing things superior to yours) even on religion issues. Islam is not a religion of Saudi Arabia but that's of the entire world the same Islam they are practicing is the same we are practicing with out any exceptions. I don't think they perform any upgraded version of five daily prayer over there, it same thing we are practicing and we both use the same Quran. We have our own Islamic scholars who have vast knowledge of the holy Quran and Hadith who should guide us and make decisions for us. We don't have to rely on or take decision of people in another geographical Location and different time zone.

The issue of moon sighting in Islam is very clear and doesn't require vast knowledge for us to understand, the moon was sighted in many parts of the country (Nigeria) but still, our religious leaders, declared Sunday 24th May as Eid il Fitr, just because Saudi Arabia made the same decision....this is malicious and devoid of logic.

SALVATION IS HERE.

Rom.13.11 - And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The lock down of religious centres especially the church has caused a lot of controversy but in times like this, Paul reminds us that now is our salvation nearer than before. Now in your homes, you can still see the salvation power of the Lord.  Now in the market, you can still see the salvation power of the Lord changing the hearts of people. Now, this time! This hour! Despite the lock down, we still see the salvation power of the Lord.  If only,  Thou canst believe, Thou shall see the glory of the Lord.  If only,  We awake out of our sleep, We will see God's salvation power. Selah, God bless you. Pastor Olugbami Emmanuel  Markudi  Emmanuelosiaabomo@gmail.com

LATE P.N.B DANIA, A QUINTESSENTIAL EDUCATIONIST

Am still trying to find the right words to convey how I feel about your demise. Daddy was so dedicated to his duties as a father and a teacher.  Years may have rolled by, but you will forever remain indelible in our hearts. I remembered my first day at Mayfair, the school you tenaciously built from the scratch, I wasn't really happy leaving home for a boarding school, but daddy was very supportive and I promptly settled. I haven't seen a teacher who is as committed as you were, and I do not think I can find another as diligent and dutiful as you.  Its pertinent to note that, for everyday that I spent under your guidance and tutelage, you instilled in all of us, the essence of time, the need to be clean and ensure our environments are tidy and the need to push, to be better than we were the previous day. For six years, even at old age, you will wake us up by 4 am, ensure we are present for your 7am class, and no matter how large the  population in class was, you will still...

NOW THAT NIGERIA IS POLIO FREE

Poliomyelitis is an infectious disease caused by the polio virus. it literally causes the muscles weakness and in most times results in inability of victims most especially young people to walk. For decades, Nigeria and the rest of Africa have battled this disease without and in sight. This is partly due to the expletive tendencies of our health policies in solving our health challenges.    It would be fiendish and illogical if we blame government and her institutions alone for the endemic polio disease that has ravaged  our country in years and negatively swayed the future of millions of kids notably in Northern Nigeria. According to the   International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies,  Nigeria’s northern states are the last reservoir of naturally occurring wild polio virus in Africa.  The states of Borno, Adamawa, Yobe, Kaduna, Kano and Katsina, are especially at high risk, mainly due to the mobile nature of the population. This me...
