Morning officers, first of all, I want to appreciate your doggedness all this while And for the focus and belief you have in this great organization As your Commandant, I need to update you On the present situation. Many of us that are conversant with social media, will observe that till the end of the last administration of the former president, President Mohamed Buhari, he was unable to ascent to our Bill, nor reject it.  What does this mean?

He was paying N9,000,000 (Nine Million naira) yearly for 3 bedroom flat in Maitama, Abuja. It was later increased to 10M and he was paying. No savings. No investment. He's working. He believed and depended on his salary. It will surely be coming. His argument: "When you live in the neighborhood of big men, you will behave like big men. You roll with big men. Packaging. You network". His junior colleagues went to the developing areas like Lugbe, FO1 Kubwa, Ushafa and bought lands in the selling estates there. They used their salary and built to their satisfaction, the kind of house they needed. They also rented the boys quarters and build other commercial houses they rented out. This man in Maitama was making mockery of those friends of his for living in the outskirts of the city. He said they live in the village and shouldn't claim they are in Abuja.. He always argued that living in the neighborhood of the rich makes you have respect, you network.  Fast f...

Conviction of the Ekweremadus: The lessons The guilty verdicts pronounced by Justice Jeremy Johnson at Bailey Court in London recently on former Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, his wife, Beatrice Ekweremadu, and their medical doctor, Obinna Obeta... The guilty verdicts pronounced by Justice Jeremy Johnson at Bailey Court in London recently on former Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu, his wife, Beatrice Ekweremadu, and their medical doctor, Obinna Obeta, offer serious lessons for all Nigerians. Given the fact of the average Nigerian mentality that everything is always possible, what happened to Ekweremadu could as well happen to other Nigerians. One lesson of course, is a reminder that Nigerians are too inclined to cut corners to achieve personal objectives, and without dwelling on the aftermath of that action. But the world is not moving in that direction, and as it happened to the Ekweremadus, there is always a rude shock waiting to happen. It ...

TINUBU: CHIMAMANDA'S A PARTISAN OBI SUPPORTER, BIDEN MUSTN'T LISTEN TO HER - OMOKIRI Reno Omokri, a critic, advised US President Joe Biden to treat anything Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie said on Nigeria's election with skepticism because she is Peter Obi's partisan. Adichie had written an open letter to Biden in which she questioned why Americans kept applauding Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, the winner of the Nigerian presidential election. Despite not being in the country to observe the election, Adichie described it as a disaster. She said, "I backed Peter Obi, the Labour Party candidate, and thought he would win, as polls projected, but I was prepared to accept any result because we had been promised that technology would defend the sanctity of ballots. "The searing despair felt by many Nigerians is not so much that their candidate did not win as it is that the election they had dared to believe in was, in the end, so terribly and unforgivably defective....

Those are the first four words in the Bible.That is referring to the ages of eternity past - so far back that our minds cannot even understand it, because our minds can only comprehend time. God existed before time began. But Satan did not exist before time began. Satan is a created being. But does that mean that God created an evil being? No. That would be impossible. God can never create anything evil. Everything that He creates is perfect. Even Adam and Eve, when they were created were perfect. Likewise, Satan too when he was created, was perfect. He was known then as 'The morning star', or Lucifer (Isaiah 14:12). name has a bad connotation now. But it was not so, way back then when he was first created. He was created as the head of the angels, to lead the angels in the worship of God. God gave him...
