Modern pastors, modern wonder. God says that we are fearfully and wonderfully made but pentecostal pastors are awesomely and majestically made. Sartorially speaking, I found most pentecostal pastors too elegant, too dapper and too vain

There is no doubt that America was founded on Christian principles and this was clearly demonstrated by the founding fathers all over Washington DC buildings, in official documents and historic speeches. God is also mentioned in her constitution and Pledge of Allegiance. So, what has gone wrong?

Ghost workers or salary scam is not only peculiar to the Nigerian federal ministries as has been widely reported in our regional, local and national newspapers, where 45,000 ghost workers were unearthed, but it does also exists at the state and local government levels of government

History has it that Chief Obafemi Awolowo, whose achievements still resonate till date, found it hard to sell the free education initiative to the peasant farmers of the mainly agrarian Western Region. Today, that visionary step is believed to have given this part of the country its edge in virtually all spheres of human development

If Amaechi were in the opposition it can be brought home the speculation making the rounds that he is against Jonathan. How can he be against Jonathan when virtually 85 per cent of the NGF’s members are PDP?

My opinion is that this brutal, disturbing and distressing action by the NBC is uncalled for, and clearly manifests a medieval-era mindset in the regulatory organization

It was in the University…our friend, known for sampling and dating pretty girls, suddenly dropped his current beauty queen of a babe and took up with a babe that even now, I preferred to call a nondescript person…worst, the new babe had K leg, blessed with enough yam tissue! You needed to see her in a dress…dogs go bark

It is, especially, sad that Nigeria has not been able to harness the enormous potential in the entertainment sector. An industry that boasts of great exports for possibly three or four generations past ought not to be where it is today

The devil does not want the marriage institution to succeed, hence his attack on it through this kind of teachings, immorality, divorce, polygamy, betrayal, confusion, childlessness, economic strangulation, spiritual, ritual and idolatry desecration, etc

In the United States, for instance, universities rely a lot on philanthropy for student support, infrastructure and research. Think of Bill Gates and his friend Warren Buffet and what they have been able to accomplish in so short a time

The correlation between well-planned development and good quality of life as a bedrock for higher standards of productivity and sustainability cannot be over emphasized even as we note that housing is an important sector that provides jobs for our young men and women

While members of the executive arm of government are the usual culprits in embezzlement of public funds, it could be safely concluded that the Nigerian judiciary is the greatest cog in the country’s wheel of progress. For all the public outcry against corrupt judges, the temple of justice in this country is still tainted with the putrid smell of corruption

To save us from further deterioration, this country needs to do a lot of introspection, and make the necessary choice of focusing on the character of those that wish to lead us from top to bottom as can be inferred from Chief Akinjide

And for some men… who bothered to ball their legal wives after an imperial sexual encounter with the mistress…they ball like they wanted to get it over and done with!

In Nigeria, especially the North, religious violence has become more commonplace in the towns with mixed populations

Sadly, Mr. Festus Keyamo’s Delta Forces United’s press statement was just a statement with no facts to back its hidden pro Urhobo agenda. I will attempt to do better than they did by providing you with facts to support my position that we must keep the peace going forward, by making sure that all Senatorial Districts have had their go at occupying Government House Asaba

As we are gathered here to celebrate this 10th anniversary of this publishing outfit, different parts of Africa, and indeed Nigeria, are being torn apart by ethnic, religious and regional conflicts. The cost to Africa in terms of human lives, property, productivity and trade is clearly enormous

This is because SARS kills at will and recklessly with impunity. As a matter of fact, it is licensed to kill and torture by the State Commissioner of Police and others before him. Transferring suspects to SARS, which is a routine in the Anambra State Police Command, expressly means a journey of no return. The sole idea of such transfer is for the purpose of infliction of grievous body battering and pretrial executions

I was too sure that a day like this would come against the embattled and estranged All Progressive Grand Alliance’s National Chairman, Victor Umeh, because the founder of the party, Chekwas Okorie, was hounded out by those he brought to the party. Okorie was crying and shouting above his voice, but the powers that felt they were in the party did not care to listen

I don’t see this our Guru as a very spiritually intelligent person. Or how could a mortal make this kind of blunder? There is no human being that knows or sees everything about this life
