Idolatory in the house of God in Nigeria

Exodus 20:3 "Thou shalt have no other gods before me"

If I returned to Nigeria today, I will not fit in to many of the current Evangelical - Pentecostal church system because of what I call IDOLATRY. I did not just suddenly develop this mindset, I have always been like this and some in my former church in Nigeria called me "proud" because I would not submit to human worship. Those who knew me would attest I have never disrespected any human authority in the church anywhere but I have never submitted my destiny into the hands of any man as is often demanded of many Christians in Nigeria. Some of my friends would attest to some of my predictions about the outcome of the WITCHCRAFT (effort to control the lives of others for selfish gain) that was (and is still) prevalent in many churches in Nigeria. They put other people's children under bondage and let loose their own - many lives have been ruined, many marriages destroyed, many potential relationship were thwarted, and the course of many live changed for worse.

The level of reverence many church goers in Nigeria give to the so called men of god, they do not accord one tenth of such to the God of the man of god. The say words like: "if not for the man of God, we would not be where we are" - really? What about God?; we honor our father in the Lord. There is no such thing as father in the lord (Matthew 23: 9 - "And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.") - there is only one father in the house of God - that is the ALMIGHTY himself, no man deserve that level of honor - mere mortals, who tomorrows fails and the faith of many is ruined because it was never in God but in the man of god.

We will be surprised on the day of judgement, won't we?

DARWANIAN Theory - The Driving Force Behind American Capitalism Philosophy

Communism died, and capitalism survived. Capitalism is a supposed system that allows freeness in an economy - market forces in the hands of private owners control what happens to the economy with minimal influence by the state. Capitalism has produced enormous wealth in the West. There are so many millionaires and billionaires. The question is, what is the ratio of the stupendously rich and those who are just scraping by - living from pay check-to-pay check? The gap is huge between the rich and the poor in most capitalist states. When President Trump was going to deliver his tax reform, it favored the rich with about 80% of the tax benefits going to the top 1% richest people in America. The argument was that they create jobs, they should benefit more - money is being given to those who really do not need the extra cash but those who need it the most, aids is been taken away from people who are at the bottom of the ladder because of a few who lie on their social welfare claims.

STATE of THE NATION (NIGERIA) - February 2020

For 16 years, Nigerians believed that their problem was a political party called PDP. The other side agitated for those 16 years to wrestle power from PDP and many of us supported them. That other side has been in power for almost 5 years now, and things have gone from bad to worse compared to the PDP years. The money APC government has borrowed in 5 years is multiple of what PDP borrowed in 16 years, and the economy has gone down the drain. Nigeria has become the poverty capital of the world, and millions of children are out of school, there are no hospitals, unemployment is double digits and it has remained so for the better part of Buhari's time in office. The security situation has gone worse because the president is complicit due to the involvement of his kinsmen - he has shown zero will to tackle the problem decisively. The consequences of this is crack in the wall of the entity called Nigeria - with Amotekun launch in the South West and the US ban of Nigerians from ce...

Lagos - Calabar Coastal Highway, Another White Elephant Project by the Nigerian Government?

Except Nigeria changes its approach to project execution fundamentally, I do not see the Lagos - Calabar Coastal Highway project finishing in my lifetime. This project was conceived in 2006 by OBJ, 18 years ago. They are just starting today... 2024. If things are done properly, it will take 8 years - 8 years oh... that could be 80 years in Nigeria. How many decades since the Ibadan - Ilorin highway was conceived (since 1979) - it was restarted in 1999 during OBJ who conceived the road during his first stint in government as a military head of state. The road is yet to be completed, and the portion completed is already dilapidated, worse than the old road. Lagos - Ibadan expressway is yet to be fully completed 25 years since it was awarded. There have been several awards and re-awards since 1999 and billions of dollars have been wasted on a major road that links the commercial hub of Nigeria to the rest of the nation. There are so many other Federal highways like this, especially those ...
