WHO CAN SAVE NIGERIA FROM POLITICAL LEADERS?

It is difficult what to make out of the country Nigeria. What is even more mind boggling is the mindset of the leadership. Across board, there seems to be not an answer to the myriad of unpredictability that abounds everywhere. Blackouts, fuel queues, erratic banking services, increasing costs, kidnapping, robbery and far the greater—the recent abduction of the Dapchi girls! Are we to still talk about the rampaging herdsmen who appear to have made life so cheap? Suddenly, the truth dawns on all of us: Nigeria is not for the poor but for the ruling class!

Against this backdrop it seems ridiculous that politicians are still talking about 2019 election! But, here, that seems normal - a way of life. “Nigerians cannot do anything”, you often hear leaders boast. Apparently, the only environment where the law seems applicable is when a big man is involved. The rest are whimsically subverted – and breached. Strangely, it seems as though powerful individuals have successfully cornered the Nigerian Constitution and of course there could be an internal conspiracy to keep it subdued!

BISHOP DAVID ANGEL, A.K.A. BAZOOKA, BRINGS RELIEF TO TROUBLED FAMILIES IN KETTI

. The Bishop is young, vibrant and full of vitality; once he mounts the Altar, let’s say 10.oclock in the morning, he hardly gets down till hours later; he conducts Service with consummate passion, enthusiasm and rapt attention to minute details; he quotes the scriptures eloquently, sings to the admiration of the worshippers and preaches with fiery candor that reminds you of the inimitable father of prosperity.. Bishop David Oyedepo! What a coincidence, the younger and the old bear the same name! What follows next follows next is prophesy, prophesy upon prophesy! He says “if there is a man to pray there is a God to answer”! Not done, the young powerful man of God is angry: “This error must be corrected”, he charges when service gets hotter. The “error” he is talking about are legion: protracted barrenness, stagnation, limitation, unexplained difficulties, poverty and a life of non achievement! Many of the worshipers are those who are tired having visited several churches and Pastors...

RAPE SAGA: FATOYINBO IN THE CLEAR?

Two months after Busola Dakolo’s rape claim against Mr. Biodun Fatoyinbo, Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Church (COZA) cracks have begun to appear. When the accusation first broke out in June, the backlash against the stylish COZA lead Pastor was so intense that it snowballed into frenzied demonstration by aggrieved Church members who subsequently barricaded the entrance to both Lagos and Abuja Church premises. It did not take long for him to succumb to one of their demands to step down from the pulpit. But then reporters attached to Newspaperman went to town and began a discreet investigation into the affair. First, the team discovered a “loophole” in Busola’s claim of being raped “ repeatedly ”, noting that the same person cannot be “raped” repeatedly, unless there must have been some sort of 'consent", “collaboration” or “cooperation” in place; something like a paddy paddy affair. Secondly, Fatoyinbo must have been extremely “crazy”, “r...
