The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) and the Ogoni Liberation Initiative  have criticized the federal government over recent remarks made by the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, concerning the resumption of oil production in Ogoni noting that the statement was insensitive and damaging to a healing process undertaken by MOSOP over the past five years.

The groups further noted that the Ogoni people were yet to recover from the pains of the past and do not need to be rem

     Bible Prophecy gives the true Christian the strength to get through today—to reach the coming kingdom.

     To get to the bottom line of this series, Bible Prophecy gives the Christian hope in the future. Hope in surviving the hard times in which we currently live. Hope in sickness, social unrest, political corruption, and family breakdown. God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the illumination of the Holy Spirit will give his true Christians—the Body of

STICK WITH THE KING’S BOOK! PART 2

    If you’re going to deliver the goods to hungry souls at the street level, it would be advisable to have a solid foundation of the main issues of Bible Prophecy. Having a clear understanding of the basics from the New Testament will work wonders to meet the mockers and scoffers head on and be a contender for the faith (Jude 1:3 KJV). Of course, you need to have the right Bible for the task ahead…that being the King James Version. As I mentioned in our last e

STICK WITH THE KING’S BOOK! PART 1

      I’ve had my share of firefights over this topic; I’ve lost friends and made more than a few enemies. Nevertheless, this topic could be considered the bedrock of studying Bible Prophecy in that there is only ONE version of the Holy Scriptures that one should consider ‘most accurate.’

      Are you ready? The version that I am referring to is the King James Version; the Authorized Version of the Bible, released to the world in 1611 AND unchallenged in the pu

WHY DIDN’T MY PASTOR TELL ME? PART 2

      In our last thrilling adventure, I shared the question posed by one of the young men I had been teaching among a group of his fellow detainees as the old Marion County Juvenile Detention Center. The teaching session had taken place a few years ago—before the Pandemic hit—with young men from the J-John Unit, in the center’s Chapel. Also on hand were a few Detention Officers who were also interested in the question…and my response.

      I had been teachin

WHY DIDN’T MY PASTOR TELL ME ABOUT THIS? PART 1

      There is NO separation of church and state…in the streets. Let this sink in.

      Our story begins a few years ago at the old Marion County Juvenile Detention Center at 25^th and Hillside. As I’ve been told, this facility has been closed, and a new MCJDC has been built and the detainees, staff and courts have been moved.

      Let me plug in some of my background and full disclosure at this point.

      As a wise preacher noted years ago: “You d

 In a bold move to set the record straight, Prof. Mgbeke has announced an upcoming live session on Facebook, where she will unveil compelling evidence exposing the true nature of Suspended Senator Natasha Akpoti’s actions, lies, and manipulative tactics.

According to Prof. Mgbeke, the revelations will include unfiltered voice recordings, screenshots, and detailed breakdowns of covert communications that link Natasha Akpoti to a series of alleged misconducts. These include orchestrating disruptiv

A political analyst and President of Citizens Quest for Truth initiative, Chief Obiaruko Ndukwe has reiterated the need for peace moves on the part of the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, asserting that reconciliation and political solution are panacea for moving the State forward.

Chief obiaruko who was responding to questions on TVC news "Sunday Politics" following the trending meeting of Governor Fubara’s with President Tinubu,

Welcome to Our Common Sense Republic: The Truth Wears No Mask!

Hello, beloved people of conscience and courage. Welcome once again to our Common Sense Republic, where truth is unfolded, and served undiluted, and integrity stands tall without compromise.

Before I announce the time for our upcoming live broadcast, I urge you all, media houses, bloggers, journalists, followers, advocates, critical thinkers, and even the doubters to tag your family, friends, and fellow Nige

WHY THIS AND WHY NOW?

      One of the things that I have noticed about being a Christian writer from a biblical, business, and common-sense perspective is the following: When you look around and don’t see the type of writing on a subject in existence it is because the Lord has put it in you to get the job done. Thus, here comes a different kind of column on the subject of Bible Prophecy, written at a level which fits those who are the most in need of teaching on the subject…those who are on the

DON’T BE A LAB RAT: GET YOUR REST!

     This one goes out to the teens in the house!

     During my teaching years, I watched over the course of time as the teens under my charge either started arriving to class with coffee, or would be sleeping in class following late night sessions with their video games or some other ‘clicky-clicky’ device. In either case, students expected me—as their teacher—to feel ‘sorry’ for them and let them sleep through the lesson of the day. They found out the hard wa

HINTS FOR YOUNG MEN TO BUILD SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGES, PART 3

     Before we head further into the last part of this series, I wanted to lay out a few items for young men to consider. I’m not going to pull any punches. This first item is going to be a doozy and has been ducked and dodged in our modern era by BOTH society and the church.

     It has become ‘fashionable’ for girls and women to birth Out Of Wedlock children. In fact, the system has so ‘rigged’ OOW births to the point that the mother o

WANT MEN? BE WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM!

      Over the past few years since the pandemic, there has been a noticeable slide in America’s attitude towards men. It wasn’t entirely unexpected. This also happened after the events of 9-11 more than 20 years ago.

      Why?

      Simple. First, America has turned its back on the biblical definition and examples of manhood. Second, America has been a feminized country since the 1990s—meaning that women have been put AHEAD of men in entertainment, sports,

HINTS FOR YOUNG MEN TO BUILD SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGES, PART 2

      As we pick up our commentary from part one, let’s take the time to review some of the highlights through the hints I have been blessed to share thus far concerning young men and the building of successful marriages. An old African Proverb plays a major part in this series on marriage: “Give advice. If one will not take it, let adversity teach them.” I am merely providing advice for young brothers on marriage from a biblical, busines

“Let every Nigerian—regardless of gender—feel safe, valued, and empowered to serve. Let us work together, not against each other, to preserve the dignity of our democracy.” 

Recent international coverage surrounding Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s claims against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has cast Nigeria in a negative light—portraying our political space as hostile, regressive, and oppressive toward women. While every democratic society must acknowledge and address concerns of i

MENTAL HEALTH—THE REAL DEAL, PART 2

      In our last thrill-packed adventure, I brought up that one’s mental health is nothing to laugh off.  At the root of disruptions in one’s mental state can be found the following short list: Unforgiveness, Anger, Jealousy, Greed, Selfishness, Rebellion, and a rejection of God’s rules contained in the Scriptures.  One’s spiritual state often plays into one’s mental state.  Get the spiritual right through Jesus Christ and the Word of God, and you’ll be amaze

MENTAL HEALTH: THE REAL DEAL, PART I

      I have been monitoring the discussions, advertisings, medications and talking head sermons in the ‘mainstream mess’ about the subject of Mental Health.  Unfortunately, the item missing from the equation is the following: The responsibility of the individual in protecting their own ‘brain box’ through reflection on their spiritual health and own actions.

      Hear me out on this one.  Many ‘mental health’ episodes could be avoided—for the good of society

HINTS FOR YOUNG MEN TO BUILD SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGES, PART 1

      One of the joys of writing on topics from a biblical, business and common sense perspective over the years is that as the times advance, a need to revisit certain topics becomes necessary.

      Marriage is one of those topics.

      There is a LOT to unpack on this subject. Thus, I advise my young brothers to grab a mug of coffee or tea and settle down for some teaching on the issue of marriage—from one who has gone before you. The ‘

HBCU OR NOT HBCU—A RECRUITMENT ISSUE? PART 2

      As we continue on into the second article on this subject, I’d like to refresh our memories from some of the items I covered in part one—as it has been a while since I began this piece last year.

      Full disclosure here. I came out of both an urban (or, as we used to say public) school and a suburban school background. I was well trained, had great teachers—BOTH Black and White in both systems, and was prepared for ‘life in the outside world’
