PASTOR LAZURUS MUOKA AND A 3RD WIFE

PASTOR LAZURUS MUOKA
AND A 3RD WIFE:
News of Pastor Lazurus Muoka of the Lord's Chosen Charismatic Ministry, taking a third or fourth wife is not a problem, if he is innocent of the odds that claimed the dead wives. But, it is so strange to notice the serial deaths of the wives of a pastor who is said to be anointed for the deliverance of the people oppressed by demons and death. If one may ask, is the anointing of the pastar designed to deliver others, without the members of his own family, or is the whole thing a scam? This question is not an indictment menu, but a fair probe to find out, if the pastor himself, and his family members need deliverance from powers that may be above his own level of anointing. Also, it is important that Pastor Muoka himself looks inwards, to find out if there is any secrecy, knowingly or unknowingly, that may have been causing this devastating and unpleasant happenings, and accordingly take necessary actions to stop a repeat of the calamity. Having said this, the writer prays that GOD reveals the cause of this serial deaths of the wives of this hallowed pastor, as well as proffer permanent solution to the problem, and requests that, every member of the BODY of CHRIST, in solidarity, prays the same, or similar prayers, all in the NAME of JESUS CHRIST, Amen!

CORRECT REPLY OF PROF. BEN ONYEUKWU TO EDIFY COORDINATOR

Mr Uche Nwaekpe,

National Secretary of AFED

and Coordinator Edify Programmes in Nigeria.

My name is Prof Ben Onyeukwu, founder/proprietor of Crown Scientific Seminary of Nigeria (CSSN) International Schools Limited. 

Dear Uche,

   I'm glad to see your shaky clarifications on the GRANT-LOAN controversy of the Edify group. In your assertion you posited that you never talked of GRANT, but soft loan. But, I'm sure in your official capacity as the Coordinator of the Edify programmes in Nigeria, the first time I heard you talked of Soft Loan was at Tripod Hotel, where you made mentioned of Soft Loan, which will be repayable from three years. If I may ask, where is that promise? Why is the soft loan not obtainable today? And, why are we now talking of loan with harsh conditions?

   Prior to the Tripod Hotel programmes, the hopeless hope of GRANT had been very must talked about. The question now is, who introduced the concept of GRANT, without your notice? Was it from other members of Edify team? Or whether is from AFED officials, who may have dangled the GRANT menu, as a BAIT to lure the unsuspecting proprietors to your programme? This is subject to your investigation. For, as a matter of concrete findings, over 80% of the people that attended your programmes came with the illusion of the so called GRANT. You can also find out!

   Furthermore, if the Soft Loan thing came, as late as the time of the Tripod Hotel programme, don't you think, it was an administrative lapse, on your part, to have not started talking of soft loan from the very beginning of the training, or that you knew about the GRANT saga, but allowed it to thrive, as a way of sustaining your desired attendance target. And, don't you equally think that, your present analysis which seeks to portray Edify Nigeria's loan as the LOWEST, which is not true, was deliberately delayed, or rather a hidden agenda , to trap uninformed proprietors into what they don't really understand.

   Finally, your citation of people in Abuja, Lagos, Port Harcourt and Ogun State, to have today, taken advantage of Edify Loan, while people (probably like me), are busy talking of GRANT, shows you do not really know the target audience of the Edify Nigeria programme. I am sure, the main target audience for the Edify Loan, are the low income school proprietors. So, talking of people in the aforementioned cities or State, as today's beneficiaries of the loan, certainly shows that, you are misfiring. I put it to you, by dint of what is in the menu of the Edify Loan today, no low income proprietor in the hinterland or villages in Imo State or elsewhere, which the loan is meant for, can afford the service. If, it is so, what then, is the relevance of the whole exercise?

EDIFY NIGERIA AND EDU-LOAN

EDIFY NIGERIA
AND EDU-LOAN
--A Test of Integrity
By Prof. Ben Onyeukwu

In recent time, the Association for Formidable Educational Development (AFED), was ushered into a real time blessing, when it came in contact with Edify Nigeria, which really transformed the fortunes of its proprietors, who are managers of low income schools. In fact, Edify Nigeria was awesome in the training and educational programmes, which it rendered to these cited private school owners. Without mincing words, the five-star hotel Venues slated for the training periods, and the unforgettable sumptuous meals enjoyed by participants during each training session, will remain evergreen in the memories of those who were privileged to be part of the training.
   However, the attention of these hallowed education partners needs to be drawn to what may have been imported by unscrupulous elements, which seems to have thrown a dent on the reputation of Edify Nigeria. Having said this, the writer wishes to point out what may be deemed an omission, or a misleading piece of advice which may not have been part of the original plan. For instance, some folks who participated in the Edify's lofty programmes talk of GRANT, not LOAN, as what the Edify organization promised them in the process of the training, and so, are surprised to notice a change after the training. Equally, they express concern over policy shifts, which moved from GRANT to soft LOAN, from soft LOAN to one digit LOAN, from one digit LOAN, to now stringent conditions before the LOAN can be obtained. They express the fact that, LOAN is not help, but bandage, It is, as well not a relief, but a burden. Also, LOAN is a business of the creditor, which yields interest as profit, and can never be referred to as help. Furthermore, the impression of the Edify Staff who visited AFED schools, which indicates that, "school proprietors who successfully implement what was learnt during Edify training may not need a loan", may be suggestive that, loan should not be expected. All the above, point to ethical question, which Edify Nigeria needs to clarify.
   Finally, Edify Nigeria should reconsider its present stance, if it has beforehand made a promise to offer GRANT after training, as any change from the original promise, will definitely cast a shadow of doubt on the integrity of this internationally acclaimed Christian organization, known for its lofty ethical standards. And, by way of conclusion, the writer and every stakeholder, sincerely thank the Edify group, for becoming a blessing to the low income school proprietors in Nigeria. Shalom!

Prof Ben Onyeukwu NIGERIA AND THE POLITICS OF EFCC

NIGERIA AND THE POLITICS OF EFCC:

   The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in Nigeria was established in 2003 by President Olusegun Obasanjo's administration, specifically through the EFCC Act of 2002, which was signed into law on December 13, 2002, and became effective in 2003.

   The commission was established to combat financial crimes, corruption, and money laundering. It's primary purposes include, Investigating financial crimes, probing cases of corruption, embezzlement, and other financial offenses.

It equally has the mandate of prosecuting offenders: bringing perpetrators to justice and recovering stolen assets. 

   The institution was also established to prevent corruption,  educating the public and promoting transparency in government dealings, as well as has the mandate of recovering stolen assets, retrieving looted funds and assets hidden abroad, with the aims to promote economic stability, good governance, and trust in institutions.

   But, since inception, there have been allegations of political witch-hunt levelled against the EFCC, as Critics often refer to the institution as government tool for selective justice, which targets the opposition politicians, but ignores corruption cases involving party members. Critics equally cite lack of transparency, often manipulated in apaque investigations and persecutions, leading to concerns about witch-hunting.

   Nevertheless, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has achieved significant milestones in combating corruption and financial crimes in Nigeria. According to Meta Artificial Intelligence platform, the organization has secured over 13,000 convictions since its establishment in 2003, with 4,111 convictions in 2024 alone. The commission has recovered over N853 billion and approximately $105 million in assets. It has investigated and prosecuted high-profile cases, including the detention of former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai over an alleged N432 billion corruption probe. 

   Yes, the commission's efforts have contributed to strengthening Nigeria's anti-corruption framework. Yet, the present day observers still allege that the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu may also be guilty of using the EFCC against the opposition party members, with the objective of securing political victory for the ruling party. This is an allegation that Nigerian citizens definitely require urgent clarification from the government.
