NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT
AND UNGODLY GOVERNANCE:
Good governance is always a product of legitimate government, inspired by principles of godliness in godly politicians, as well as formed through legitimate means, devoid of rigging and political manoeuvring. This is the only type of government that carries the imprint and approval of the LORD GOD of heaven and earth.     In keeping with this DIVINE standards, the Holy Scripture  instructs every citizen to be loyal to civil authorities, noting that, there is no authority except from GOD, and that, those which exist, are by GOD'S appointment, and so one who resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
   By way of definition, political governance is a specific way by which a political system is ruled. This implies that, godly governance could hold sway in government administered by godly people, whereas ungodly governance is likely to reign in the government of ungodly persons. For your information, the basic evidence of ungodly governance, is the absence of the rule-of-law in any political administration. Here, the Nigerian Government is specifically portrayed, if the allegations variously levelled against it, in recent times become positive. For instance, if the allegation that Nigerian Government is secretly sponsoring terrorism, or any genocidal movement, aimed at eliminating Christians in the country by those who are in power, then ungodly governance is established in the Nigerian State. Again, if the Nigerian State has deliberately deleted the Igbo history in its school curriculum as a way of subjugating the Igbo race, it becomes publishable that, the government of Nigeria carries the emblem of ungodly governance. Furthermore, if the allegation of the Nigerian Government trying to bribe the United States Congress, to cover up the alleged Christian genocide in the country becomes real, then the reputation of the country becomes destroyed by ungodly governance. Also, if the allegations that the Nigerian Government bribed the Finnish Government, as well as the Nigerian Judiciary, to imprison Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and Simon Ekpa, turn out to be true, it becomes obvious the Nigeria is taking a global lead, in ungodly governance.
   Having cited the above, it becomes timely to state that, in spite of the fact that GOD tells the citizens of every country to be subject to civil authorities, there is no rule that canvasses for such obedience, in absence of good governance. Rather, the Holy Scripture, also admonishes that, in the absence of the rule-of- law, "we ought to obey GOD rather than men". (See Acts 5:29 and Romans 13:1-7).

Prof Ben Onyeukwu DESTROYED UNITY

DESTROYED UNITY:

The unity of Nigeria would have been formidable, if those who received power from the colonial masters, at independence, adhered to the concept of, "in brotherhood we stand", as enshrined in the Nigeria's independence national anthem. But, instead of keeping faith with the tenets of the principles of brotherhood, design to have held the country together, they rather chose the path that destroyed the foundation of the proposed unity. 

   It is alleged that the same region of the Nigerian State, who today, chant the indivisibility of the country, were the people that played the inglorious role that enforced the failure of the 1966 ad hoc national conference, designed to discuss Nigeria's political future. Also, the Aburi Conference of 1967, which recommended a confederation structure for the nation was equally dropped by the same people, in favour of the Nigeria-Biafra civil war, which massacred millions of people from both sides.

   Furthermore, the 2005 National Political Reform Conference (NPRC), convened by President Olusegun Obasanjo's administration to discuss constitutional reforms and address issues affecting the country, as well as the 2014 National Conference, inaugurated by President Goodluck Jonathan on March 17, 2014, to discuss Nigeria's future and address issues like power devolution, national security, and economic development, were all allegedly downplayed by the region under review. Recently, there has been a call for a Sovereign National Conference (SNC) to tackle marginalization and disunity, by a notable advocate. To this end, the Chief Afe Babalola's call for a SNC in January 2026 to address the country's problems, is outstanding, but may have come too late, since it came at highest point of the wounds of the high-handedness of the same people who have deliberately refused to adhere to the principles of unity since independence.

   Definitely, with the high level of the alleged Islamic agenda, which prompts the concept of christian genocide, as well as the stern agitations of Oduduwa and Biafran Republics, it becomes too hard to raise hope for Nigeria's continued unity.

NIGERIAN LEADERS AND PRODIGALITY

NIGERIAN LEADERS 

AND PRODIGALITY:

Biblically speaking, the prodigal son has a record of taking his family wealth to a far away country to squander, just as many Nigerian political leaders and cronies of today, carry the notoriety of embezzling the country's wealth to foreign nations for a lavished lifestyle, leaving  other citizens to wallow in abject poverty. Available records from Meta Artificial Intelligence platform show that, the following Nigerian politicians and cronies have properties in  far away Dubai. For example,

   Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and his daughter, Hadiza, own several properties in Dubai, including a three-bedroom flat estimated at $1.23 million at Palm Tower and a one-bedroom flat at Trade Centre Second.

   Yusuf Datti Baba-Ahmed, Vice presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections, linked to eight properties valued at $2.28 million in posh areas like Burj Khalifa and Al Yalayiss.

   Nasir El-Rufai, former Governor of Kaduna State, owns a four-bedroom apartment estimated at $193,084 at Al Hebiah Third.

    Ahmed Markafi,  former Governor of Kaduna State, linked to a property at Burj Khalifa valued at $822,016.

   Attahiru Bafarawa, former Governor of Sokoto State, owns seven properties valued at $1.48 million and a property at Palm Jumeirah estimated at $750,112.

   Ike Ekweremadu, former Deputy Senate President, linked to five properties in Dubai.

   Other notable mentions also show that,

   Peter Obi, former Governor of Anambra State, founded offshore companies in tax havens and owns a trust. 

   Stella Oduah, former Minister of Aviation, owns properties in London worth £6.7 million under the International Trading and Logistics Company Limited.

   Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, Governor of Kebbi State, involved in offshore dealings and accused of helping former dictator Sani Abacha launder stolen billions.

   David Mark, former Senate President, linked to eight offshore companies on the British Virgin Island.

   Adegboyega Oyetola, Governor of Osun State, owns a company, Aranda Overseas Corporation, which purchased a London mansion for 9 million Euros, to mention but a few, as there are heart-rending statistics that point to many Nigerian politicians and friends as having foreign accounts with billions of hard currencies, in various international banks and financial houses, as well as choice properties, across the globe.

   Yet, these prodigal Nigerian leaders will always adduce the rhetorics of having the vision of building a better and prosperous Nigeria. But, can those who siphon their country's wealth to other countries build a strong economy that could facilitate the development of infrastructures in their fatherland? I think, this is not possible. What they achieve in their greed, whether they know it or not, is to advance the development of the countries, where they hope to relocate, if the long arms of the law attempt to catch up with them. This is the principal reason why the Nigerian State is recurrinly retrogressive, and can never recover, unless these hardened criminals are put out of the Nigerian political space or come to their senses, and say, I will arise and get back to my country, and confess to my country, by declaring to the government, I have sinned against GOD and against my country, and now, willing to turn a new leaf, if pardoned. For this to happen, Nigeria needs a national rebirth. And, this could begin from you. (See Luke 15:11-24).

Prof. Ben Onyeukwu DEEPER LIFE BIBLE CHURCH AND CHRISTMAS SAGA

DEEPER LIFE BIBLE CHURCH 

AND CHRISTMAS SAGA:

   The often declaration of Pastor W.F. Kumuyi of Christmas as having a  heathenish origin, may be true, yet it does not make him and his church holy, but sanctimonious. The Deeper Life Ministry's dos and don'ts form of Christianity makes the church a show of legalism, and not a church that flows from the fountains of the HOLY SPIRIT.

   Pastor Kumuyi should get the understanding that if Christmas seasons could influence him and his church to organize their Christian Retreat programmes during Christmas dates and periods, when they share the Word of GOD, cook and eat delicious meals in camps, as others do in their homes and offices, it then means that they acknowledge and celebrate Christmas more than every other religious group which they consider as have goofed. In fact, the Deeper Life Bible Church and the likes, are the actual people celebrating Christmas in it's essence and practice.

   But, does Christmas celebrations add or reduce one's religious values, where one celebrates it without singing against GOD? The simple answer is NO. Furthermore, does staying in camps for retreats during Christmas periods, as a way of displaying a form of religious superiority or showmanship, makes anyone a better Christian? The answer is also No. Also, will GOD send people to hell simply because they were involved in Christmas celebrations? Again the answer is NO. If all the above answers are in the negative, then what is Pastor Kumuyi really driving at? I think Kumuyi should now be faced with the facts of correcting the unprintable errors he infused into the Body of CHRIST, instead of beating about the bush. 

   Without mincing words, this mathematician turned pastor, should be courageous to restitute the church members of other ministries and missions, who his fellow pastors allowed to attend his Deeper Life teachings, that he turned into becoming members of his now, Deeper Life Bible Church. I think that is the highest form of sheep-stealing that requires a hearty restitution, instead of the distractions of Christmas or no Christmas inclinations.

   Pastor Kumuyi should equally look inwards, and correct most of his misleading teachings and the segregational postures he planted in his church members, against the society and other members of the Body of CHRIST. He should, as well apologize to the world and the Christendom, for misleading many into believing that a GOD-giving piece of technology, viz; television, was a "Devil's box." This Deeper Life apex pastor should be aware that the world and the Body of CHRIST are highly disappointed, noticing his present political dealings and romance with politicians, which portray him as now compromising the faith.

   Finally, pastor Kumuyi should, also bear in mind that even the Easier Retreats he conducts during Easter seasons is influenced by the Church Calendar, initiated by the Catholic Church, which he allegedly considers as a mission without a sound faith or doctrines. Yet, JESUS CHRIST did not ask us to celebrate his resurrection, but his death, through Holy Communion. And, if his Easter Retreats are tailored towards the Easter celebrations, then he should know that we are still in the world, influenced by certain systems that may not be sinful, and not yet in heaven, where every order is perfect. Certainly what matters most now is, be holy, not sanctimonious, for the LORD is HOLY.

Prof. Ben Onyeukwu THE ADULTERATED BLOOD

THE ADULTERATED BLOOD:

 Senator Orji Uzor Kalu is at it again. Now he begins his narrative with the assertion that, he is a full blooded Igbo. But, he should know that the blood of the so many, "so called Igbo" is tainted with impurities, informed by pre-marital or extramarital infidelity. However, the above expression, is a fair comment, and not a reference to the person of the senator.

   Senator Orji Uzor Kalu must not take the Igbo people as fools. He must be made to understand vividly that we are very much acquainted with our history, and have a fair knowledge of the DNA of some of our prominent ones. So, tactically changing his first narrative, "Ojukwu told me a second Biafra war is unnecessary" to a much more dubious one, "Ojukwu told me that "the first struggle for Biafra was necessary, that the second one is longer necessary," shows a deceitful heart desperate to deceive.  

  The senator further pushes his baseless rethorics, as he said, “even if these boys want Biafra, who are you going to rule when you kill all the Igbos?...At this juncture, his attention should be directed to the confession of Governor Hope Uzodinma that, the Biafran boys do not kill, that the insecurity in Imo State, for example, had been the handiwork of unscrupulous politicians, importing unknown gunmen from other states, to cause mayhem in the state. Having cited the above, I think Orji Uzor Kalu is better placed to tell us the "game plan"  that fueled insecurity in Southeast, probably to stop the Biafran agitation.

    His expression, “I thought with what happened to Nnamdi Kanu, these boys should come together in a table and say, how do we get peace to resolve this matter politically? And not still talking tough as they are trying to behave." readily exposes his frustrations in their political antics to imprison Nnamdi Kanu, to pave way for the "so called" political solution, which they supposed would have given them upper hand, but never worked. And, thinking that life imprisonment of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu would stop the Biafran agitation, is daydreaming. 

   Orji Uzor Kalu's suggestion for a referendum is unthinkable, as he says, “So I think even if they want Biafra, they should drop their arms and go with their flags and demand for what they want and negotiate for it and talk for a referendum," as this readily exposes further his insincerity, as well as marks him out as a person never to be trusted. But, if one may ask, when has Senator Orji Uzor Kalu ever mentioned Biafra in the Senate, let alone talking of referendum, which they often claim has no place in the Nigerian constitution. Who is then, fooling who? 

   On a shaky note, the brainwashed senator said, “Even the man that fought the civil war, the wife is saying the same thing I’m saying. Minister Bianca Ojukwu knows the thought of her husband, and nobody will believe on the destruction of Igbo land. Enough is enough. This remark calls for some salient questions, and if the writer may ask, how old was Bianca Ojukwu during the Biafra-Nigeria civil war? And, when did Ojukwu marry her? Yes, it is reasonable to believe that, good and sincere answers to the above questions will readily reveal that Bianca Ojukwu has but a fint knowledge of the war, which makes it easy for the enemies of Biafra to use her as a subversive tool, against the Biafran struggle.

   In conclusion, the Abia senator advises, “Let us stop destroying ourselves. Let us stop destroying our properties. Let us stop destroying what we have. “Look, there is no more commerce in the entire Igbo land. How are we going to live? Things are difficult. Things are very bad for people living there. So how are we going to live? These are the issues. To this end, our full Igbo blooded senator should take to heart that, it is better to die of hunger, than to die as slaves or second class citizens in our father land. It is Biafra or nothing!
