If you were appointed as Nigeria’s minister of Finance, would you steal? It all depends on what kingdom you belong to. If you belong to the kingdoms of this world, you would be a fool not to steal. No matter the anti-corruption noises being made right now, you would know you cannot be in that […]
Continue ReadingThe article reproduced here was written in 2015. It predicted the comeuppance of Bola Tinubu in the All Progressives Congress (APC). I have decided to re-submit it for publication because what was obvious to so many of us on the sidelines was oblivious to Bola Tinubu. We always knew it was a matter of time […]
Continue ReadingEarly in my relationship with God, the Holy Spirit engaged me in discussion over my obsession with going to heaven. “Femi,” he asked, “why do you want to go to heaven?” I could not answer him directly because my interest in heaven had little to do with heaven. Instead, it had to do with my […]
Continue ReadingHis Royal Highness, the new Emir of Kano, might end up with the same fate that befell him as CBN Governor. Of all the cities in Northern Nigeria, Kano is perhaps the most important. Although it used to be subject to the Sokoto Caliphate, in many respects it has since become a far more important […]
Continue ReadingArmed robbers attacked me on Lagos airport road and an anonymous Good Samaritan came to my rescue. I soon discovered this Good Samaritan was Jesus, someone I had previously gone to great lengths to avoid. It became imperative for me to get to know all I could about him; the better to lay hold of […]
Continue ReadingThe kingdom of men is the antithesis of the kingdom of God. In the kingdom of men, the successful man is that man who has achieved something for himself. In the kingdom of God, the successful man is that man for whom Christ has achieved everything. Success in the world is measured by wealth, prestige […]
Continue ReadingGod says in Isaiah: “I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.” (Isaiah 45:7). Amos also asks rhetorically: “If there is calamity in a city, will not the Lord have done it?” (Amos 3:6). The question then becomes what purpose God has for evil. Why […]
Continue ReadingJesus says: “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.” Many Christians read this passage and simply ignore it. What does Jesus want us to deny of ourselves? Are my self-denial requirements different from those of others or are they all the same? […]
Continue ReadingJimmy Peters was on his way back to Lagos from a wedding in Benin City. Suddenly, the road ahead was blocked. Before he could say “Jack Robinson,” some armed men sprang out of the bushes. Instinctively, Jimmy’s wife hid their baby on the floor of the backseat of the car; quickly throwing a cloth over […]
Continue ReadingA Nigerian footballer signed a lucrative contract to join Monaco Football Club. Flush with his newfound wealth, he bought a ticket from Monaco to Istanbul, to get a haircut from a famous barber. Thereafter, he flew back to Monaco. When I read this, I became concerned for the poor man. My concern is because the […]
Continue ReadingWe just went through the worst presidential election in Nigeria’s history. To add insult to injury, we have now been assaulted with the worst judicial verdict in the history of Nigeria. The Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal (PEPT) delivered a judgment on Atiku’s petition against the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)’s declaration of President Muhammadu Buhari […]
Continue ReadingThere can be no doubt that we are living today in Nigeria in proverbially “interesting times.” We have just gone through the worst presidential election in the history of Nigeria, marred by massive fraud, vote inflation and deflation, ballot-snatching, riots, alongside voter intimidation and suppression. Atiku Abubakar, one of the main contestants in the election, […]
Continue ReadingIn the Bible, Jesus cast a legion of demons out of a demon-possessed man. However, he cast the demons into 2,000 pigs nearby. Immediately, the pigs ran over a cliff, fell into the sea and drowned. When the villagers heard about this miracle, they were not pleased. How could 2,000 pigs be destroyed just in […]
Continue ReadingThe All Progressives Congress (APC) is a party that claims to be anti-corruption. However, the evidence is now overwhelming that this claim is one big scam. An anti-corruption party cannot, at the same time, be a party that provides refuge for those accused of corruption. How is this for an anti-corruption slogan: APC chairman, Adams […]
Continue ReadingAnywhere else, it would be an open and shut case that President Buhari is not qualified to be the head of the Nigerian government. Nevertheless, he has been president for the past four years. The question that remains is this: will he continue to get away with violating the law? Or has he finally met his […]
Continue ReadingThere are an estimated 190 million Nigerians. The overwhelming proportion of them will live and die unknown and unsung. Airports will not be named after them. Neither will universities be established in their honour. A hundred years from now, people will not even remember they ever existed, except that they might have some children and […]
Continue ReadingIt is no longer conjectural; Nigeria is at war. In July alone, some 282 of our citizens were gunned down or killed violently. When they were not killed by marauding herdsmen, bandits and kidnappers, they were killed by our own government turning Nigerians guns procured to defend Nigerians on them. The nation is no longer […]
Continue ReadingThe decision of the Nigerian government to proscribe the Shi’ite Islamic Movement In Nigeria (IMN) and to declare it officially as a terrorist organization is a catastrophic blunder. In the first instance, the decision is illegal and unconstitutional. It is a blatant infringement on the freedom of religion guaranteed under the Nigerian Constitution. But even […]
Continue ReadingEvery right-thinking Nigerian knows Buhari did not win the 2019 presidential election. Nevertheless, at the very least, some 10 million Nigerians must have voted genuinely for him. In view of the extent to which the situation in Nigeria has deteriorated dramatically over the few months since the election, we need to ask the president’s supporters […]
Continue ReadingMany Christians make the fundamental mistake that Paul made, which he cautions that no one else should make. They see Jesus and God simply from a human point-of-view, forgetting that God is not man. (Numbers 23:19). When he later realised his error, Paul wrote: “From now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. […]
