Tolulope’s soul is being digitally replicated for the Oduduwa homeland dream. They now control the digital universe where they drop threats, revenge, and the balkanisation of a Nigeria they see as killer of destiny, glory, and talent.
At that point in time my inner Mind told me that the Soul/Spirit of Man merely resides in the body, or put in another way, the body is merely the garment, the shell, the building, the box or whatever enclosure or encasement that accommodates the Soul/Spirit.
During the course of my trip I saw the wonderful things that Matawalle has done in the state over the last one year since he came to power and how he has restored peace in most parts of the state and brought hope, joy, strength, confidence and prosperity to the people.
That I urge my good people of Edo State, associates and supporters to be rest assured that I remain the person they have ,good neighbourliness who is committed to the promotion of peace, security and orderliness in our society

I just read a Facebook post by one of my friends, a Kenyan born US-based evangelist. It is a video clip of a church service where Pastor Enoch Adeboye was shown to be combing his hair to demonstrate what God was going to do for the congregation.

It’s 7pm, Friday, July 18, 2020. The sleepy town of Awka is about winding down. But it’s noisy at the Ndukwe’s. Something fantastic has been cooking. Outside, not many of the drinking dens and Nkwobi joints are opened for business.
What the devil has attempted to do, is to create the pattern of communion in this situation. How? Communion involves that which is solid, and that which is liquid. The bread is solid, the wine is liquid. That’s what this vaccine project is all about.

Both died in different places and under different circumstances, but you only need to look a bit closer to see the dots connecting the tragedies. Like candles in the wind, as Elton John would say, they burned out before their legend ever did.
A key concept in this elegant yet very intriguing brand of politics is the notion of primus inter pares, which underpins the entire parliamentary system of government wherein the British Prime Minister is the primus inter pares – first amongst other ministers who are seen as equals.
From personality clashes to sordid tales of mismanagement of funds, contractors that collect mobilization fees and simply take a walk, politicians in the National Assembly feeding fat on Niger Delta resources, and reports of terrifying wasteful expenditure and the conversion of every event or situation:
The answer is a no brainer: The ticket ought to be open to the entire Igbo nation of the Southern extraction. Here is why.
The short-term implications of this global challenge are evident everywhere, but the long-term consequences of the pandemic — how it will reshape health services delivery and accessibility in the post COVID-19 world — have started engaging the thoughts and attention of forward-looking service providers.
My interest in the Niger Delta has far-flung roots in certain personal and vicarious experiences along the route of my practitioner-researcher journey. The take off point of this journey was my employment on February 14, 1994 as a Researcher-Reporter on the energy and politics beats on the pioneer team of THISDAY newspaper.
