AN EDITORIAL ON CARDINAL ODUMBAKU

Image result for AMBODE AND ODUMBAKUCardinal Odumbaku may be a man of the priestly robe, but it is doubtful if he ever heard of the name Adonijah in the bible. Adonijah was a son of king David and on impulse wanted to usurp the channel of leadership by treacherously getting fake supporters to make him king over Israel. He sensed that his was popular and as such skipped the official procedures when the real  king had not authorized. But Solomon's mother calmly went in and whispered to the ailing King David who instructed that Solomon-the rightful heir to the throne  be anointed King, dressed in his own very robe  and ride in his personal horse. When Adonijah and his fellow band of conspirators apparently boozed up from long celebration heard the tumultuous shout of joy coming from the  city, they asked the vital question: "what meanest this sound", and they were told the bitter truth. Today thousands of years later, a certain Cardinal Odumbaku  who dabbled into politics (whoops!should have known) audaciously wanted to subvert the popular will and  opinion of the people by falsely raising another  "successor" from nowhere, when the real "king" was still around--and in his very face. This brazen attempt --thanks be to God--who never sleeps has fallen flat in his face. This is all in bid to satisfy his personal ego and selfish  interest.  Now Lagos East Senatorial Zone along with the West has now seen the treachery in the evil design to remove Ambode from office. Not only that, the entire Nation and not least the International communities have all risen to smash the unholy gang up. Wonder why of all people a Cardinal should lead this spectacular betrayal. Well, Kudos to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinube for listening to voice of reason. Ambode welcome back. Forward ever, backward never. But the gist is: Ambode should learn to be a team player. In the game of politics, everyone is important.

WORSHIPPERS THRONG TO KUJE FOR BISHOP DAVID EDOBOR (ANGEL 1)

Kuje, a suburb in the capital city of Abuja is witnessing an unusual traffic: hundreds of worshippers are seen trooping to stadium road in Kuje where Bishop David Edobor, General Overseer of the Joshua Generation Church is blazing the trail, performing spiritual feats, healing, delivering and restoring damaged destinies. The young General Overseer popularly known as “mathematical prophetic” “accuracy bazooka” has declared repeatedly: ‘you can doubt my prophesies, but you cannot doubt the outcome!” Preaching last Sunday, 16 th September, the cleric disclosed that the examination of life has no timetable unlike that of common exams. He said that is the reason why worshippers must not toy with their destiny background-and where they come from. Bishop Edobor has restored many destinies and not a few people have had breakthroughs in marriage, travel overseas, employment, healing, etc. The Edo State born man of God has been variously described as “small oyedepo” from the way he prea...

STOP THE ILLEGAL DETENTIONS IN ICPC NOW BUHARI TOLD

The Independent Corrupt Practice and Other Related Matters Offences Commission (ICPC) were set as an anti-corruption agency to rein in persons involved in suspected shady deals and sharp practices. But in recent times as investigations have revealed The commission appears to have derailed as it is fast losing that tag as an anti-corruption agency.  Preliminary investigations have unearthed some sharp practices of illegal detentions on spurious charges, unauthorized raid and sealing of victims houses and unwarranted blockages of victim’s accounts. “This bad practice must be discontinued” declared Mr Rafiu Ibrahim, Secretary-General of Association for Good Governance and Transparency (AFGT). Throwing more light on the sad development, the Secretary-General wondered why the ICPC would detain without charges any suspected Nigerian for upwards of two weeks without proceeding to court, while systematically extorting various sums of money from the detained Nigerian.  The Secretary-Ge...
