  By DARE ADEJUMO "As I saw the remains of the man of God prophet TB Joshua looking at him on the television inside a transparent coffin, my goose flesh wildly arose. I was shaken and   immediately overwhelmed with guilt and fear!  The revelation came to me straightaway without any ambiguity, piecing my heart like a thunder:  'here is a beloved son of God who has accomplished his assignment on earth'. My eyes were opened. I knelt down in tears and wept profusely asking God to forgive me because I was misled by our church leaders about his divine identity making me to have said bad things about him. It is a colossal spiritual tragedy for anyone to say any negative things against an anointed man God not even  in ignorance". This is Madam Florence Olowokere, a strong Pentecostalism Christian. "I have learnt a bitter lesson in not just believing anything about any prophet of God that the Holy Spirit did  not directly reveal to me because of its fatal spiri...

 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎The Abiodun Health Care Initiative (ACHI) has called for urgent, coordinated action among government agencies, verified non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and development partners to strengthen Africa’s response to Ebola and other re-emerging deadly diseases, while also addressing gaps in Nigeria’s primary healthcare delivery and security challenges. ‎The initiative expressed concern over the reported resurgence of Ebola in parts of Africa, warning that weak coordination, misinformation, and fragmented response systems could undermine containment efforts if not urgently addressed. ACHI stressed that government institutions alone cannot effectively manage complex and recurring public health emergencies without structured collaboration with credible and verified NGOs operating at both national and grassroots levels. ‎Beyond epidemic preparedness, ACHI highlighted persistent weaknesses in Nigeria’s healthcare access system, noting that many households still lack access to ...

  Oladapo Sofowora As President Bola Ahmed Tinubu marks three years at the nation's helm as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; the "Renewed Hope" agenda has found one of its most reliable engines in the most unexpected of places, not in the marbled halls of policy think-tanks nor in the headline-grabbing press releases of the Presidency media team, but in the methodical, grinding and increasingly sophisticated operations of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), under the quiet but relentless command of Professor Ahmed Abubakar Audi mni OFR. The NSCDC has undergone a transformation so radical, so structural and so deeply embedded in the logic of modern security models that it has effectively redefined what it means to protect a nation in the 21st century with technology driven innovation. Where the average citizen once saw a uniformed auxiliary force guarding public buildings, there now stands a technology-driven, intelligence-led and globally-al...

   By oluwaseyi fadoro  The Founder of Jehovah Eye Salvation Ministry, Prophet Godwin Ikuru, has called on Nigerians to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by allowing his administration to govern in peace while focusing national attention on the rescue of children and other victims abducted by kidnappers across the country. Speaking with journalists in Lagos, Prophet Ikuru questioned the impact of protests being held in major cities such as Lagos and Ibadan, arguing that the nation's most urgent concern should be the plight of innocent children and citizens being held captive in forests and remote locations by criminal groups. According to the cleric, Nigerians should channel their energy toward efforts aimed at securing the release of abducted victims rather than engaging in demonstrations that could create tension and distract from critical security challenges. He stressed that President Tinubu, as the country's leader, deserves respect and support, noting that leaders...
