SHARING IN GOD’S NEW COMMUNITY

Acts 2:42-47
SHARING IN GOD’S NEW COMMUNITY
All the believers were together and had everything in common. Acts 2:44, NIV

Moving to a new community can bring a lot of challenges, especially if the community members are not welcoming and accommodating. When my family moved to a new area recently, I was overwhelmed by the warmness with which the people

Where is our humanity? What is it that makes mankind hostile to the unfamiliar? Why does our diversity trigger hate rather than embrace it? It is true that the values we uphold are those that are taught and nurtured by our immediate society, therefore man isn’t inherently evil but only learns to hate.

On the 5th of January, four young black Americans, Jordan Hill, Tesfaye Cooper, Brittany Covington and Tanishia Covington, were charged with hate crime, robbery and assault, after kidnapping, humiliating and torturing a white boy. These four youngsters went a step further by sharing their bestiality online via facebook chanting, “fuck white people, fuck Donald Trump.” In their exuberance or perhaps outright ignorance they simply became what they thought they were fighting against, and at that very instance they became the oppressor, oiling the machine that recycles hate. If only they knew better!

Shine shine baby. Hardly will you know she is/was going through a stumbling marriage

Soul Brother, Obama, By Owei Lakemfa

Obama stands on the shoulders of giants like Frederick Douglas, Harriet Tubman, Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jnr, Huey. P. Newton, Bobby Seale, and one of the greatest Americans and humanist of all times, John Brown, who in a Christ-like manner, laid down his life and those of his two sons so the Blackman can be free.

Those who signed the July 4, 1776 American Declaration of Independence gave humanity one of the most imperishable proclamations: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of

His rashness aside, Mr. Jim Obazee has raised issues of accountability that should not be disregarded in the review process that is to follow. He argued that: “In keeping other peoples’ money, you have to prepare accounts. That is why churches fought me so badly, took me to court as a person and then my office too…”

Jim Obazee, the recently sacked Executive Secretary of the Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria is a man with unlimited capacity to provoke agency. He got an alarmed President Buhari only a few hours to leap into action and sack him over an impending war he was provoking between the Administration and Nigeria’s Christian Community when people woke up to realise that the revered general overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God was not retiring from office due to divine revelation but due to injunctions from Mr. Obazee.

Yesterday younger actor, Gideon Okeke called out a senior colleague; call him his grandfather in the movie world and you will not be wrong, claiming some of the languages used by the older actor in movies are vulgar. A lot of his fans however came for him saying he shouldn’t have called out Elder Chiwetalu Agu like that publicly. He then took down the post.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has told Bureau de Change (BDC) operators it does not intend to devalue the naira and will support it at current levels, especially with a recent rise in oil prices, the head of their association said on Thursday.

Reuters quoted the President of the Association of Bureau De Change of Nigeria (ABCON), Aminu Gwadabe, to have said the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele told the group in a meeting it was looking at ways to boost dollar liquidity on the official market to eliminate the spread to the parallel market.

The Nigerian Army has told its lawyers to institute legal action against Premium Times, an online news site for allegedly publishing series of false and malicious news against the Nigerian Army and the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai.

The Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Sani Kukasheka Usman, who made the disclosure, said the action of the Nigerian Army to go to court, was prompted by the refusal of the online publication to retract the stories, despite several warnings by the army, backed with a letter dated December 22, 2016, calling for retraction.

A five-year-old boy whose cancer battle touched the hearts of millions has passed away.

Joshua McCormack, from Rochdale, was diagnosed with a primitive neuroectodermal tumour (PNET) on his brain stem in October 2015.

He was deemed to be one of just 66 people in the world suffering from the deadly brain tumour.

A showdown between the executive and the legislative arms of the federal government appears imminent over the proposed six weeks closure for repairs of the Nnamidi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja.

ABUJA — Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has condemned the manner President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State handled the killings in Southern Kaduna. Indigenes of Southern Kaduna claimed that more than 800 people, mostly women, children and the elderly, have been murdered and villages burnt down by suspected herdsmen without the state and Federal governments doing anything to stop them.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army said it would launch operation Kunama II to completely restore peace in the troubled Southern Kaduna. Soyinka spoke at the launch of the book, Religion and the Making of Nigeria, in Abuja, yesterday.

Is Delay In Appointment of Substantive CJN Helpful To Judicial Reforms?

It is not even helpful to the wheel of judicial progress in Nigeria. I know people would come with the argument that acting is like substantive, but it is not. It is not in the sense that, as it is, whosoever that is in acting capacity knows he has limitations and that limitation can affect dispensation of justice. Let me say this, in as much as I know for sure that the acting CJ must be in some dilemma, we have to be sincere about that. He may be wishing that he should be confirmed and the delay would tell in the way he carries his business every day, particularly when the constitution has already stipulated the manner in which he should be appointed. Because of the importance of that office, you find out that all the three arms of government have

Looking Beyond N5,000 Stipend Scheme | Punch

A scheme to cushion the effects of excruciating poverty on the poorest members of the society has begun with the Federal Government’s monthly payment of N5,000 stipend to each of those categorised as such in Borno, Bauchi and Kwara states. Nigerians from these states are the first set of beneficiaries in a pilot project that spans nine states in the first instance. It will eventually cover all the 36 states, targeting a total of one million people.

DEMOCRATIC rule has yet to curb the appetite of the police to kill indiscriminately. A workers’ protest in Lagos, which turned fatal after the police intervened, is symptomatic of the cruel methods employed by our law enforcement agents. The police had opened fire on the workers of a manufacturing company, Chi Limited, who were protesting against their treatment in the sharing of Yuletide gifts. Repeatedly, the police have shown their contempt for the sanctity of human life. They should stop using disproportionate force against unarmed civilians.

He said: “With God all things are possible. I will advise you to take the matter to the Lord in prayers since you are legitimately qualified like any other town in the state.

“As a leader of the party, I must create a level playing ground for all aspirants. It is God who puts people in positions of authority. I am waiting on God to give me the directive on who to support for the coming election.

Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka yesterday condemned President Muhammadu’s and Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s handling of the Southern Kaduna crisis.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) alleged that no fewer than 808 people have been killed.

Prof. Soyinka criticised the admission by El -Rufai that he paid killers of Southern Kaduna people to stop the carnage.

He said religion “is more likely to induce anxiety leading to trauma rather than solace and the consolation of spirituality which many religions claim for themselves.”

PREMIUM TIMES has replied a letter sent by the Nigerian Army, threatening legal action against the newspaper for publications about the army and its chief, Tukur Buratai, a Lieutenant General.

On Wednesday, the newspaper published a letter dated December 22, written on behalf of Mr. Buratai, by I.M Alkali, a Major General, accusing PREMIUM TIMES of “unwarranted serial provocative, unauthorised, libelous and defamatory publications”.

The Redeemed Christian Church of God has said the decision of its General Overseer, Enoch Adeboye, to appoint a national overseer for the church in Nigeria remains unchanged.
