....Chide Unscrupulous Elements

....Recall Orodje’s Role in The Lingering Crisis

Top leaders of the Okpe Nation on Monday called on the Delta State judiciary to wade into the Okpe Union matter to avoid a national embarrassment.

“The Orerokpe High Court is a court of Coordinate Jurisdiction with the Federal High Court and therefore lacks the powers to interpret the judgment of the Federal High Court. It is a trite

Two respected families in the South-South geo-political zone on Monday highlighted the humble background, personality and contributions of Chief Veronica Ekpera Ebireri to the country.

The prominent Agbon and Okpe families in a statement entitled “The life and works of a pragmatic woman, transporter, saw miller, fish and rice dealer” highlighted Veronica Ebireri’s extraordinary life, pleasant upbringing of many and all s

FEMINISM—THE LEGION SPIRIT

      We are going to be here a while, so you might grab a mug of coffee or tea. These spiritual essays take a while to unpack, and even longer to let the Spirit of the Lord speak through them.

      For the men in the house, whether you be young or old, this commentary will go a long way to warn you about the status of many women in American society—and perhaps—in the entire western hemisphere. It is a demonic weed that Christian men will have to spot, confront, and cr

THE EMPLOYMENT GAME PART 3

 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.

 --Psalm 112:7 KJV

     As we wrap up this series, I wanted to help you to be aware of one thing: Employment is a game; how you learn to play the game over your working years will determine the peace you find through the game during your retirement years.

      Gone are the days of spending 30 years at one job, and retiring with a gold watch and a testimonial dinner. A few years ago, it wa

THE EMPLOYMENT GAME, PART 2

Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

--Matthew 10:16 KJV

     In our last thrill-packed adventure, I did not clarify the reason for the title of this series.  Believe it or not, finding, getting, and keeping a job are all a part of ‘The Employment Game’.  The critical thing to remember throughout your work career—to borrow a tag line from the flick Spy Game—"It’s not how you play the game; i

“Character Building”

     The Bible.  Hard work.  Thrift.  Community investment.  Education.  Business building by men and women.  These might ‘seem’ like modern innovations.  However, if one knows their history, these items—and more—were the ‘norm’ in the old South

THE EMPLOYMENT GAME, PART ONE

 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.

--I Peter 4:12-13 KJV

     I realize that there are some hurting souls out there because of changes in the job market and my opening Scripture may seem a bit odd.  However, there are some Christians among

WHEN BLACK HISTORY BECOMES HATE SPEECH, PART 2

      In our last thrill-packed commentary, I brought up the fact that many Black teachers have forgotten Black History and have become ‘satisfied’ with students in urban education who can barely read, write and spell ALL for the teachers to be ‘accepted’ by white and Black liberals (otherwise known as ‘the oppressor’).  Of course, many of these Black teachers get hefty paychecks and perks while their students suffer educational neglect in the class

THE REAL DOGE AND THE CONFESSION OF ZACCHAEUS

      Many have heard about the ‘Prayer of Jabez’.  Books have been written and many sermons preached about this Old Testament item, and it may be found in I Chronicles 4:9-10.  However, when you want to talk about the summary of the grace of God impacting one life in search of forgiveness, you have to go to a man called Zacchaeus, the chief of Tax Collectors in the New Testament.  His story is covered in the first ten verses of the Gospel of Luke, C

WHEN LAWMAKERS BREW LAWLESSNESS

      A few years back in my home state of Indiana, some Democrat lawmakers decided to ‘move’ to another state (of course, under Democrat control) just so they wouldn’t have to vote on some measures being considered by our legislature.  This tactic has been used by other Democrat lawmakers in other states over the years.  Of course the tactic didn’t end well.  The ‘protests’ soon ended, they came home, the objected-to legislation passed, and all was right in the

TEENS: ARE YOU COACHABLE?

      A few months back, Indianapolis had a visit from the famed Harlem Globetrotters.  One of their current key players, ‘the smiling forward’ Zeus McClurkin, was interviewed on one of our local noon TV news shows.  During the interview, McClurkin brought up a very crucial point that many young players seem to miss during their formative years.

      “You have to be coachable in order to be a successful player in any sport.” McClurkin noted.

FOR THE LOVE OF A DOLLAR, PART 2

      In our last jam-packed adventure, we hit upon what many were willing to do in these last days to secure financial freedom for themselves—many times at the expense of others.  In short, we have a lot of people in our modern era who are quite content to love a dollar more than our institutions, our nation, our homes and our children.

      How may one tell if an individual, or a group are more than happy to chase after that piece of paper?  Simple.  Study the
