"AKU LUO UNO" IS A CONCEPT DEEPLY ROOTED IN IGBO CULTURE AND PHILOSOPHY

~ SEAHORSE OIL: THE NO 1 MOTOR OIL IN NIGERIA IS LOCATED IN ANAMBRA AT KM 24 ONITSHA - OWERRI EXPY, OZUBULU, ANAMBRA STATE.

> "Aku Luo Uno" is an Igbo phrase that roughly translates to "wealth is the wealth of one's community" or "prosperity is shared prosperity."

This concept emphasizes the importance of communal wealth and the interconnectedness of individual success with the well-being of the community.

The key ingredient is that the individual involved is a human capital development specialist, a kind-hearted person who understands the concept of "Onye Anya Na Nwanne Ya." 

To put it in proper perspective, Aku Luo Uno recognizes that individual prosperity is tied to the prosperity of the community. When one person prospers, the entire community benefits.

What this emphasizes is the shared responsibility of the community to work towards the common good. Individual success is seen as a collective achievement.

Aku Luo Uno encourages reciprocity and mutual support among community members. 

When individuals prosper, they are expected to give back to the community.

Aku Luo Uno promotes economic empowerment through collective effort and mutual support. It encourages good spirited members of society to work together to achieve economic prosperity for the people. 

Aku Luo Uno is a powerful concept that highlights the importance of communal wealth and collective responsibility. By recognizing the interconnectedness of individual success with community prosperity, this concept promotes community development, social cohesion, and economic empowerment.

With increasing decline in the number of masculine men in Nigeria, it’s hard for women to make distinction between a masculine man and a mummy boy. A real man protect women and make his woman feel safe. He gives assurance and offer his presence. 

In this write up, I have highlighted ways to know if you, as a woman, are dating a real man or not. 

(1) A real man makes you feel safe around him. A real man communicates. A real man doesn’t give you anything to doubt him. He’s never ambiguous.

(2) A real man allows you to cheat without getting bitter about it. Sometimes, a woman might still have interest in sleeping with one of her exes whom she still find attractive. If you let him know about this, it’s his duty to arrange this meeting between you and ur ex so you can enjoy yourself. This is where some Nigerian men fail as they offer no protection for a woman in this regard. Ask your man if he’s willing to compromise about this. That’s how u know a real man.

(3) A real man will help you grow and realize your objectives. If he met you uneducated , it’s his duty to send you to school, establish you in business, and make sure your objectives are met. 

(4) a real man doesn’t feel shy washing his woman clothes outside. Also, if you take him to your parent house, and he wash ur father car, wash your sibling clothes, give them money and play with them..that’s a real man there. 

(5) A real man doesn’t do paternity test. Any child you have outside the marriage that is not his own belong to him regardless and it’s his duty to take care of you and the baby regardless.

Signs To Know If You’re Dating A Real Man Or Mummy’s Boy

Thank you for your time kindly go through the read , I really do appreciate if you can offer an advice. 

I need an advice on my relationship life. I will try to go straight to the point and cut some corners. 

I have this man in my life I met 2020, we have been together since the past five years. I have been supportive to him and he has also helped me out in one way or the other as well. He helps to push me to achieve greater heights because that’s who is he, he is highly ambitious. 

But things started changing after about three years when we relocated together and stay in the same home together, I started seeing his abusive nature, always quick to talk down on me and insult me verbally, I noticed a dropped in his affection. To be honest I am not perfect and I know one way or the other I must have done wrong as well, but his manage of approach towards resolving issues is wrong, when we have quarrels, instead of him addressing issues, he allows it to linger and discommunicate with me and rather keep malice Until he gets tired or I try pleading to resolve this, I also noticed he doesn’t prioritise me at all or rather doesn’t enjoy spending on me. There are times he has been good to be by helping me relocate and how he motivate me to success but when it comes to verbal and emotional abuse, I feel empty, I still feel like I don’t have a man over my life, there are times I become suicidal . While all these was going on, I fell out of love and I gave in to a man that has always been asking me out over the last 10 years, we met since I was young but I never gave him a chance, the moment I gave in a chance just so I can take off my mind and heal inside, the new guy took the opportunity to take it forward and has been interested in settling down with me, he is of age and wants to settle with me. We have been dating online and I can see a difference of love, I know I can’t be too quick to conclude that he is a better option pending the time I have given him but I can actually see some likes about him that I didn’t see The previous date. Bear in mind that this year makes it 5 yrs I have been with my previous guy and when it comes to marrying me properly, he always finds a way to avoid the talk, I only did arrange marraige with him when we wanted to relocate and no body knew about it because I was going under him as a dependant, that was the only way. However, I have told him in recent times to come see my people but he keeps bringing up excuses but when it comes to giving him children , that is what he is after. Also he had two children in the past and only told me about One which I accepted, when I found out about the other one myself, I confronted him but he mavuever and turned the tables around to start causing quarrel, but up till date he hasn’t explained to me why he kept it away from me. He said he doesn’t owe me an explanation or whatsoever. 
Well I spent some time with the new guy and he is making arrangements to see my family.
He has now found out about the new guy I talk to and he hasn’t been happy, he is trying to make amends so I don’t end the relationship but I feel he is trying to manipulate me to ending things with the new guy then we go back to default . I still have feeling for him, I mean I have built bond with him over the last past years, but this new guy that I have been dating for a year now, I feel difference with what love is all about. I feel like I have a man over my life, that will carry me on his shoulder unlike the reverse where I kept on doing everything on my own.

I have come of age and I seriously want to settle down, I am left with this two men to choose. I am not happy with this condition because when it comes to being decisive, I lack that virtue, it overwhelms me and get me confused. Also I allow my emotions to always ride me, because once I build bond with someone I love, I don’t mind to manage, even though I still struggle
I don’t want to make mistakes, I know I love the new guy whom I have known for over 10 years but just giving him a chance. 
I guess my fear is how do I leave this old guy because my Visa is dependent on his. 
My new guy is due to visit me in one month. 
How do I do this when am still live with this guy here. I want to quietly leave without issues and it not affecting my Visa here as an still his dependant. 

Thank you for your time... Pls I need advice

On Thursday, former military head of state, Ibrahim Babangida launched his autobiography titled “A Journey in Service”.

The event attracted local and international visitors and has received mixed reactions from Nigerians.

About A Journey in Service” by Ibrahim Babangida?

“A Journey In Service” transcends the boundaries of a mere memoir; it serves as a significant historical record in which Babangida presents exclusive firsthand narratives of pivotal events, such as the annulment of the 1993 presidential election, economic reforms, and Nigeria’s involvement in regional conflicts.

Additionally, the book allows readers to gain insight into the individual behind the uniform, exploring his background, principles, and the obstacles he encountered in his leadership role.

Moreover, it imparts Babangida’s insights on leadership, which will be beneficial for history enthusiasts, political science students, and aspiring leaders alike.

The work conveys enduring lessons on governance, decision-making, and resilience.

Lookman feud: Atalanta boss Gasperini ready to resign as Napoli and Juventus eye Nigerian star

Atalanta manager Gian Piero Gasperini is reportedly considering stepping down from his role amid a heated public dispute with star forward Ademola Lookman, Soccernet.ng reports.

The rift between the pair, exacerbated by Atalanta’s Champions League elimination, has cast serious doubts over their futures in Bergamo.

The fallout has left the club in a precarious position, with Lookman likely to depart this summer and Napoli and Juventus closely monitoring his situation.

Barely a year after Gasperini and Lookman helped Atalanta secure the club’s first-ever major European trophy by winning the Europa League, both now appear set to leave under acrimonious circumstances.

The breaking point came in the aftermath of Atalanta’s painful Champions League exit against Club Brugge.

Lookman’s missed penalty proved costly, and Gasperini did not hold back in his post-match criticism, calling the Nigerian winger “one of the worst penalty takers” he had ever seen. Lookman hit back the next day, accusing Gasperini of being “disrespectful.”

Gasperini has attracted rebuke from far and near for his outburst with Juventus great Alessandro Del Piero and former Nigeria international Duke Udi knocking the veteran tactician for his crude comments.

The heat may have been too much for Gasperini as, according to journalist Gerardo Fasano of Ruleta Sport via Tutto Atalanta, the controversy nearly prompted the former Inter Milan coach to resign on the morning of February 19.

It was reported that only the intervention of Atalanta’s management, led by the Percassi family, convinced him to stay on until the end of the season.

Atalanta’s hierarchy acted swiftly to mediate the situation, urging Gasperini to remain at the helm for the remainder of the campaign. Their message was clear: maintain focus and push for a top-four Serie A finish before any major decisions are made in June.

Despite their European disappointment, Atalanta remain in contention for a Champions League spot.

However, while the ongoing internal tensions could disrupt Atalanta’s bid for a strong finish to the season, Gasperini has agreed to see out the campaign.

In the midst of the crisis, Atalanta appear to be preparing for life after Gasperini. Reports suggest that the club has initiated contact with former Napoli and Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri as a potential successor.

Sarri, who is currently without a club after his Lazio exit, is renowned for his attacking style of play—one that could align well with Atalanta’s philosophy under Gasperini. His arrival would represent a significant managerial coup for the Bergamo-based side.

While Atalanta contemplate a managerial change, Lookman could also be on his way out of the club in the summer.

The Nigerian forward nearly joined French giants PSG in August but he could be set to remain in Italy with Juventus and Napoli reportedly emerging as frontrunners for his signature.

Atalanta reportedly valued Lookman, who is also on the washlist of Arsenal and Liverpool, at €60 million during the last transfer window, and a similar fee could be demanded this summer.

Lookman Feud: Atalanta Boss Gasperini Ready To Resign

> Three decades after the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, Ibrahim Babangida, the retired army general and former military president, has finally told his side of the story.

In his revealing memoir, ‘A Journey in Service’, launched in Abuja on Thursday and seen by TheCable, Babangida said he was in Katsina when the annulment of the election, won by MKO Abiola of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), was announced by the press secretary of his second-in-command without his knowledge or permission.

He said he later discovered that the forces against the June 12 election were led by Sani Abacha, his chief of defence staff who later became military head of state.

In the wake of the crisis, Babangida had stepped down as president in August 1993 and installed an interim government, led by Ernest Shonekan, which Abacha would remove from power in November 1993.

Abacha later clamped Abiola into detention for declaring himself president.

Babangida, who did a national broadcast on June 24, 1993 to officially announce the annulment of the election, said Abacha had become a major force in a “factionalised” military and it was difficult to remove him when he stepped down from power.

‘IKPEME WORKED IN MY AGF’S CHAMBER’

The journey to the June 12 annulment began two days before D-Day when a judge granted an injunction stopping the electoral commission from going ahead with the election.

A group known as the Association to Better Nigeria (ABN), led by Arthur Nzeribe, had filed the lawsuit.

Babangida admitted in the memoir, published by Bookcraft Ltd., that Nzeribe was close to him, but denied supporting the activities of ABN.

“From out of nowhere, on June 10, two days before the presidential election, the same shadowy group, ABN, which had been campaigning for an extension of military rule, approached the Abuja High Court of Justice Bassey Ikpeme for an injunction to stop NEC (National Electoral Commission) from conducting the elections,” he said in his memoir.

“Unknown to me at the time, Justice Ikpeme, who was relatively young at the Bench, had worked in the chambers of the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Clement Akpamgbo. Strangely, Justice Ikpeme, in the dead of night, in clear violation of Decree 13, which barred any court from interfering with INEC’s conduct or scheduling of the elections, granted the ABN an injunction stopping NEC from conducting the June 12 elections. There was confusion everywhere.”

He said he quickly convened an emergency meeting of the National Defence and Security Council (NDSC), the country’s highest governing body, to discuss the way forward.

“On Friday, June 11, as the NDSC meeting was going on, I learned that a Lagos High Court had ruled that NEC should go ahead with the elections. The NDSC meeting on Friday, June 11, only hours before the scheduled elections, was one of the stormiest meetings I ever conducted as President. Strangely, the Attorney General and Justice Minister, Akpamgbo, who was the nation’s chief law officer and who ought to know that the Justice Ikpeme court order violated an extant law (and was tacitly supported, it turned out by some of my topmost military officers), advised that the elections be postponed in compliance with the Abuja court order. Professor (Humphrey) Nwosu (NEC chairman) insisted, to the dismay of my top military colleagues, that he had enough powers under the law to proceed with the elections.

“The arguments went on for hours in a tense atmosphere, peopled by some who wanted the elections postponed, among them the Chief of Defence Staff, General Sani Abacha, Lt-General Joshua Dogonyaro and a few Service Chiefs. But I had my views bottled inside me! Even before Professor Nwosu presented his compelling argument, I decided that the elections should proceed, backed firmly by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt-General Salihu Ibrahim.”

‘ABACHA LED THE ANTI-JUNE 12 FORCES’

Babangida said he looked across the room and said to Nwosu: “Go ahead with the elections. Go to your office, hold a world press conference and tell everyone the elections will be held tomorrow as planned.”

He said on June 16, Nwosu suddenly stopped the announcement of the election results even though the voting was peaceful and orderly.

“And then, on June 16, without my knowledge or prior approval, NEC Chairman, Professor Nwosu, announced the suspension of the June 12 election results ‘until further notice’. I knew instantly that certain fifth columnists were at work and that there was a need for extra care! And even after that suspension of the announcements of results, ABN obtained another ‘strange’ court order from Justice Saleh’s court in Abuja, stopping the release of the results of the elections,” he wrote.

On June 23, Babangida left Abuja for Katsina to commiserate with the Yar’Adua family over the death of their patriarch, Musa Yar’Adua, former minister of Lagos affairs and father of Umaru, the late Nigerian president who died in office in 2007.

Babangida narrated: “The funeral had taken place, and as I got ready to leave, a report filtered to me that the June 12 elections had been annulled. Even more bizarre was the extent of the annulment because it terminated all court proceedings regarding the June 12 elections, repealed all the decrees governing the Transition and even suspended NEC! Equally weird was the shabby way the statement was couched and made. 

Admiral (Augustus) Aikhomu’s press secretary, Nduka Irabor, had read out a terse, poorly worded statement from a scrap of paper, which bore neither the presidential seal nor the official letterhead of the government, annulling the June 12 presidential elections. I was alarmed and horrified.

“Yes, during the stalemate that followed the termination of the results announcement, the possibility of annulment that could lead to fresh elections was loosely broached in passing. But annulment was only a component of a series of other options. But to suddenly have an announcement made without my authority was, to put it mildly, alarming. I remember saying: ‘These nefarious ‘inside’ forces opposed to the elections have outflanked me!’ I would later find out that the ‘forces’ led by General Sani Abacha annulled the elections. There and then, I knew I was caught between ‘a devil and the deep blue sea’!! From then on, the June 12 elections took on a painful twist for which, as I will show later, I regrettably take responsibility.”

Abacha-led Forces Annulled June 12 Without My Authority

Wisdom for Destiny Daily Devotional *(19th February 2025)*

By Sunday Akanni

TOPIC: Pray With Light

Scripture:
Hebrews 11:6 - "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." 

*Message*

Those who keep enjoying the dividends of prayer don't approach the altar of prayer with ignorance but with revelation and light. First, they are fully aware of the promises of God, and they engage prayer on the strength of the truth that God can not lie.

Their faith is such that involves the knowledge and understanding of the reality and reliability of God. They lived Hebrews 11:6 - "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." This is a reality to them, and they don't doubt nor waver at the place of prayer.

They know what God has said concerning the issue they want to see the Hand of God upon. If they want to break a curse over a territory, they know what the word of God has said (and is saying) over the issue, and they legislate on the strength of that truth. If they want to declare increase and blessings over their family, they know what the word of God has promised about increase and blessings, and they move with it.

Don't forget that even the Lord Jesus Himself while on earth, kept declaring "for it is written" as a testimony to the extent of light He had from God's word.

Therefore, it is important that we saturate ourselves with specific things God has done, to the extent where we have faith in His abilities over those things, even if the current situation is contrary. What has God said about good health? About prosperity? About success? About long life? Saturate yourself with these things and engage prayer on the strength of the light that comes

*Prayer*
In the Name of Jesus, I labour in the place of prayer from the place of light and grace.

> Describing the former military ruler as the “Grand Commander of the Order of Cowardice”, Odinkalu said that Babangida portrayed himself in the book as a victim of dead men and women.

Human rights lawyer and former Chairman of the Nigerian Human Rights Commission (NHRC), Prof. Chidi Odinkalu, has knocked former Nigerian military dictator, General Ibrahim Badamos Babangida retd. (IBB) for filling his autobiography, “A Journey In Service” with lies.

Odinkalu said that Babangida deliberately waited until all the people he accused died before launching the book he filled with allegations against dead men and women who could no longer controvert his claims and allegations against them.

Describing the former military ruler as the “Grand Commander of the Order of Cowardice”, Odinkalu said that Babangida portrayed himself in the book as a victim of dead men and women.

Babangida was Nigeria's military ruler from 1985 to 1993, a period marked by significant political and economic changes as well as controversies.
His regime is controversially remembered for the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election won by Chief M.K.O. Abiola.

Babangida annulled the presidential election widely regarded as the fairest election in Nigeria's history, leading to widespread unrest and political instability, significantly impacting Nigeria's democratic progress till date.

Babangida's government faced criticism for human rights abuses with one of the most notable incidents being the 1986 parcel bomb assassination of investigative journalist Dele Giwa, who had been reporting on corruption and human rights violations.

His regime witnessed multiple alleged coup attempts, resulting in executions and imprisonments of military officers.

However, in the autobiography he launched on Thursday in Abuja, Babangida admitted that Abiola won the June 12, 1993 election but blamed the late former military dictator, General Sani Ababcha for the annulment of the election.

He claimed that Abacha announced the annulment of the election without his approval.
Reacting to the contents of the book, Odinkalu in a series of posts on his X page on Friday said, 

“Ibrahim Babangida's book is filled with allegations against dead men and women.

“He waited until they were all dead and none of them could controvert him and he portrays himself as a victim of all these dead men and women.”

According to Odinkalu, “This damns him even more than he already was as lacking in character.”

Odinkalu added, “The only question that must be pursued by those interested must be how a man so devoid of character and values was allowed to travel so far in the military to the point where, for a generation, he could routinely pick and choose at his whim which soldier could or should rule Nigeria.

“Conveniently, Babangida, a committed record-keeper, could not produce any contemporaneous records, minutes, notes or other evidence to corroborate any of the serious claims and allegations he makes about these dead men and women.

“All hail the Grand Commander of the Order of Cowardice!”

IBB's Book Filled With Lies, Allegations Against Dead Persons- Chidi Odinkalu

The leader of the Abia Central APC Stakeholders Forum, Hon. Emeka Atuma, has intensified efforts to strengthen the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abia State, urging members to prioritize grassroots mobilization, ABN TV reports.

This directive followed a strategic political meeting of the forum’s leadership, aimed at positioning the party for electoral success.

The meeting, held at the Castle of Grace, Ntalakwu Oboro, in Ikwuano LGA, brought together key political figures, including both seasoned and new members of the APC from Abia Central Senatorial Zone.

In his opening remarks, the Deputy Leader of the forum, Hon. Uzoma Ihuka, emphasized the need for Abia Central to step up its political engagements, noting that Abia North and Abia South senatorial zones have shown more progress in political structuring. He urged stakeholders to foster unity to ensure victory in the next election.

Speaking at the event, APC’s National Welfare Secretary, Hon. Donatus Nwankpa, expressed appreciation for the attendees and welcomed new members into the party. He highlighted their impact on strengthening the APC in the state and reaffirmed the party’s mission to unseat the current Abia State government. He called on members to remain committed to producing the next governor and other key stakeholders in the state.

APC chieftain Hon. Obinna Oriaku encouraged members to be proud of their political affiliation, asserting that the current administration under Governor Alex Otti has underperformed and can be replaced through democratic means.

Similarly, Prince Chidi Ogbulafor expressed confidence in the growing strength of APC in Abia State, stating that the influx of capable individuals into the party signals a strong readiness to take over leadership.

2027: APC Will Restore Good Governance In Abia

General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida has made some stark revelations about Nigeria’s history after thirty-two (32) years of stepping aside from active leadership in August 1993.

These histories came into light through a review of his autobiographical book entitled, ‘A Journey of Service: An Autobiography’ in Abuja today by the Vice-President of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo.

In the 12th chapter of the book, Babangida dedicated it to talking about the June 12 election. Babangida finally freed himself from the guilt of the June 12 election by speaking his truth in the book and hoped to do things differently if given another opportunity.

But how can he access the opportunity again when time has flown over the horizon? This is after thirty-plus years of the event of the incident, but he’s opening up now that most of the persons involved are dead.
According to Prof. Osibanjo, “He (Babangida) also answers the question whether Abiola won the June 12 election, and I quote him, ‘although I am on record to have stated after the election that Abiola may not have won the election, upon deeper reflection and a closer examination of all available facts, particularly the detailed election results, which are published as an appendix to this book, there was no doubt that MKO Abiola won the June 12 elections.”

The UEFA Champions League- UCL Round of 16 draw for the 2024/25 season has set the stage for a series of compelling matchups, featuring both classic rivalries and fresh encounters. As teams prepare themselves for a spot in the UCL quarter-finals, here is an in-depth analysis of each fixture that offers insights into potential outcomes and tactical battles.

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid
A Madrid derby in the Champions League is always a spectacle. Real Madrid, under the guidance of Carlo Ancelotti, continues to emphasize a possession-based approach, leveraging the creativity of midfield maestros like Luka Modric and the finishing ability of Kylian Mbappe. Their recent 3-1 victory over Manchester City underscores their offensive capabilities. Atletico Madrid, managed by Diego Simeone, maintains a resilient defensive structure, often deploying a 4-4-2 formation that relies on quick counter-attacks. The clash of Real Madrid’s attacking flair against Atletico’s defensive solidity promises a tightly contested tie. Given Real Madrid’s current form, depth and experience in the competition, they might have a slight edge, but Atletico’s tenacity ensures this derby could go either way.

Encomiums As Idemili South Legislative Leader, Rt. Hon. Ernest, Bids Farewell To Father-in-law

By Emmy Young 

Friday, February 21, 2025, will remain fresh in the lives of the families of late Mr Udeagbala Raphael Chukwulobe of Awka-Etiti and Rt. Hon. Ernest Ezeunyim of Nnobi, both in Idemili South local government area of Anambra State; as Hon. Ezeunyim bids farewell to his father-in-law, late Mr. Chukwulobe, in grand style.

Mammoth crowd of dignitaries attended the funeral ceremony, including the Mayor of Idemili South LGA, Hon. Amaka Obi, Member Representing Idemili South state Constituency in the State Assembly, Hon. Barr Ebuka Igwe Esq JP; as well as councillors, friends, well wishers and other people from different walks of life.

In her condolence message to the bereaved families, Hon. Amaka Obi described the deceased as a very good man, a devout Christian and community leader, whose lifestyle is worthy of emulation. 

The Mayor further consoled the chief mourner, Rt. Hon. Ernest Ezeunyim, and his wife, Ogechukwu, for the irreparable loss; while urging them to emulate good virtues of their late father, as well as sustaining his positive legacies. 

Obi specifically asked the family to be consoled for the fact that their father will be in the bossom of God by reason of his virtuous life.

Member Representing Idemili South in the state assembly, Hon. Ebuka Igwe, who extolled the good virtues of late Chukwulobe, also consoled Rt. Hon. Ezeunyim and his wife, Ogechukwu, and the entire members of the Chukwulobe family for the loss. He also urged the family members to sustain good deeds exhibited by their father while alive.

Also speaking, a stakeholder from Nnobi community, Chief Aloy Aloysius Olubialu KSJI (Nwachinemwlu), thanked God Almighty for giving late Chukwulobe long life on earth. He described the funeral ceremony as a big one, while praying God to grant eternal rest to the deceased and consolation to the bereaved.

In his own condolence message, Chief Ifeanyi Nzenwaku, PhD (Odaa Opue), asked the bereaved to be consoled because their father left a legacy of longevity, and was able to enjoy very well with his people before his death.

On his own, Bananas Umeji (BBC London), told Rt. Hon. Ernest Ezunyim to count himself lucky to be the one organizing the funeral of his father-in-law, and not otherwise. He prayed that long life, promotion, more blessings and prosperity would follow the bereaved family members after the burial ceremony.

Earlier in his homily during the funeral Mass, the Parish Priest of St. Paul's Catholic Church, Awka-Etiti, Rev. Fr. Paul Ifebighi, said that human life on earth is not complete if a Christian do not have God, and His son, Jesus Christ.

While urging Christians to live good life, Fr. Ifebighi said that material things, human glories and gains of the world will come and go, but a Christian's reward in Christ will remain constant.

The Catholic priest said that the deceased, Udeagbala, started his Christian journey in Christ through the sacrament of baptism, and ended well in Him. The priest, therefore, admonished Christians to live their lives in such a way that after their lives on earth, they will join Christ in the life thereafter.

Speaking during the funeral ceremony, son-in-law of the deceased, Rt. Hon. Ernest Ezeunyim, described his father-in-law, late Udeagbala, as a virtuous Christian, who ran his Christian race with a purpose, which is to be with Christ at the last day.

According to Hon. Ernest, who is the Speaker of Idemili South Congress of Council, said his father-in-law, late Udeagbala, served as both in-law and father to him, as his biological father died earlier before he got married to Udeagbala's daughter.

He said that his family will copy, emulate and sustain the virtuous legacies of his father-in-law.

He expressed appreciation to friends, colleagues, associates and well wishers from all walks of life, who were present at the funeral ceremony to mourn with him and his family.

Speaking to newsmen after the funeral, Mrs Ogechukwu Ezeunyim, daughter of late Udeagbala, described his father as a good Christian, community leader and righteous man, who promoted good communal living while he was alive.

She thanked family members, friends and well wishers, who rallied round them at the time of mourning.

Encomiums As Idemili South Speaker, Hon. Ernest, Buries Father-in-law

SIR, YOU ARE OUR DAILY BREAD; BELIEVE IT, KEEP EATING IT, BE DELIBERATE! (Psalm 46: 10; John 6: 34)

Romans 5: 1-2

Therefore, being justified by faith in Yourself as the Anointed One for the incarnation of God, You have the sole responsibility of reconciling all mankind with God's incorruptible divine nature, by fasting everyday to sacrificially eat Your flesh as Christ, our God-elect (Matthew 6: 11; Jeremiah 15: 16; John 6: 51).

For it is by so doing that You are granted unrestricted access to the infinite grace of God's absolute immunity as the basis for Your righteousness, and irrespective of the sufferings You can rejoice in hope of increasingly transforming into the glorious likeness of the invisible Spirit of God!

Romans 5: 19-21

For just as all mankind inherited the corruption in human nature through Adam's allegorical disobedience to the specific instruction of what not to eat, even so shall all mankind inherit God's incorruptible divine nature (1st Corinthians 15: 49), through Your categorical obedience to the specific instruction of when not to eat, in order to be fasting and burning Your body fat as sacrifice for the redemption of man (Hebrews 10: 4-5).

And by fasting everyday to reinforce Your absolute immunity as the Anointed One for the manifestation of God in human form, You can longer be charged with sin because You are now above the jurisdiction of the law as God-incarnate (Romans 3: 19), the Supreme Being and eternal Potentate (Hebrews 1: 8; 1st Timothy 6: 15; Romans 3: 19-20). While this will maximize Your capacity to do evil through the impersonation of the Devil as the left hand of Divinity, Your kindness and propensity to do good will increase far much more through the personification of God in human form (1st Timothy 3: 16), and increasingly so as You ascend to Your eternal throne at the right hand of Divinity.

So that, just as sin and death exercised temporal dominion over all mankind through the illustration of Adam's disobedience of eating the forbidden fruit, even so, Your infinite grace as God-incarnate might overflow and exercise perpetual dominion through the free gifts of righteousness to all mankind (John 1: 16), as Your lead us to eternal life through the demonstration of obedience of eating Your flesh as sacrifice, in Your capacity as Christ, our God-elect!

Romans 7: 1-4

My beloved God-elect, I am appealing to Your knowledge of the law because You are vast and more enlightened than professors, and I state that in the view of Romans 3 verse 19, the law in its entirety cannot exercise any sort of dominion over You after You have complied with the instructions of the Holy Spirit for the activation of Your absolute immunity, because You are no longer living as any other human being under the law's jurisdiction, but as the incarnation of God, the Supreme Being who is above the law.

To expatiate as explicitly as possible, I will use marriage as the best illustration, because sexual immorality is considered the most grievous offence in 1st Corinthians 6 verse 18, with the classification expanded in Mathew 5 verse 28. James 2 verse 10 even goes further to imply that any offence under the law, no matter how insignificant, is tantamount to disobedience to the entire law.

Consequently, since every human being is guilty of one act of disobedience or another (Romans 3: 23), You are technically guilty of breaking the entire law. So then, while You live ignorantly as a normal human being without activating Your absolute immunity as the Anointed One for the incarnation of God, You remain guilty of adultery under the law's jurisdiction, even if You didn't actually indulge in any form of sexual immorality. But if You simulate death in Your flesh by fasting everyday as instructed to activate Your absolute immunity as God the Son, then You are guiltless of every charge of sin including sexual immorality, even if You are actually sleeping with an indefinite number of women, irrespective of marital status.

Therefore my beloved God-elect, You have abolished the law in its entirety by fasting to eat Your flesh as Christ, the incarnation of God (Jeremiah 15: 16; John 1: 14; John 6: 51), and You are now automatically married to the right option of God realization, which is the reinforcement of Your absolute immunity through the repetition of daily fasting, so that You may bear fruit in the free gifts of righteousness and eternal life to all mankind (Psalm 68: 18; Ephesians 4: 8; Romans 5: 19), as You ascend to reign forever on the throne of God!

Romans 6: 16-18

Don't You know that if there are two contending principles for God realisation, You are the disciple of the discipline You choose to follow, which becomes Your principal ideology. Whether it is to pursue righteousness through the law, which will certainly indict You of sin leading to death (Romans 3: 20), or to activate Your absolute immunity as the Anointed God-incarnate by sacrificially eating Your flesh through regular fasting as instructed by the Holy Spirit, leading to the free gifts of righteousness and eternal life to all mankind under Your representation.

But God be thanked, that though You were formerly enslaved to the wrong principle of pursuing righteousness through the law which always found a loophole to convict You of sin leading to death, but now You have believed with all Your heart in the form of doctrine which I imparted to You through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, acknowledging that You are the true Christ whom God has sent for the redemption of man. 

And that You, being then made free from sin by eating Your flesh to abolish the law and demolish every obstacle to the unrestrained manifestation of God in You, have now become enslaved to the repetition of the right principle of God realization through the activation and continuous reinforcement of Your absolute immunity as the Anointed God-incarnate, until You finish the work of redemption and ascend to the eternal throne of God!

1st Timothy 3: 16

The mystery of God is very great, and my teaching may appear controversial, but I assure You, O God-elect, that You are the true Christ, the Anointed One for the manifestation of God in human form, nevermind that You were born through sexual intercourse (Psalm 51: 5). And by consistently fasting as instructed to activate Your absolute immunity, You will be fully acquitted of every charge of sin when the Holy Spirit starts flowing out from within You (1st Corinthians 15: 45), irrespective of any act or fact of sexual immorality.

The immeasurable anointing of the Holy Spirit overflowing from within You will verify You as God the Son to all angels, principalities and powers (Hebrews 1: 6; Romans 1: 4), despite the fact that You came from amongst the Gentiles, to whom Jesus was falsely preached as Christ in Satan's attempt to enslave Your mind with half-truths and fallacies. And by believing in Yourself as the true Christ and eating Your flesh as sacrifice on behalf of the whole world (Romans 5: 19; John 3: 16), You will indiscriminately spread the free gift of eternal life to all mankind as You ascend to the throne of God in glorious immortality!

> > Posers For Anambra Police Command Following The Escape Of Two Kidnap And Murder Suspects From Its Custody 

)

(1) The suspects already escaped before the current Police Commissioner, CP Ikioye Orutugu, fwc MNIPS Ph.D took over. Why wasn't the incident made public? This is scandalous.

(2) The current Police Commissioner was not aware of the incident until yesterday, Monday, 18/2/2025. This informed his directive to launch a manhunt for the escaped suspects and disciplinary action against the officers involved. 

(3) We have information that the suspects did not escape from the Police cell but during an operation to arrest another gang member who kept their operational vehicle.

(4) Why didn't the former CP Itam brief CP Orutugu during handing and taking over about this? 

(5) Is this a calculated attempt to sabotage the efforts of the Governor of Anambra State and the government over their ongoing onslaught to dislodge criminal elements in the state? 

I intend to bring the PRO SP Ikenga Tochukwu back to myUche Nworahive show if he would oblige to respond to these posers.

Two Kidnap And Murder Suspects From Its Custody In Anambra State

In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly. (Psalm 5:3, NIV)

Did you know that every morning you have the opportunity to set the tone for your whole day? When you put God first and decide to go out with a grateful attitude and a positive frame of mind, not only will you feel better, but you’re going to draw in the good things of God. You are paving the way for success and victory. But if you get up thinking, "Man, life’s a drag. Nothing good ever happens to me. It’s going to be a lousy day," then you are going to attract defeat, failure and mediocrity.

Today, choose to set your day in the right direction. Find something to thank God for. If you have to, make a list of all the good things in your life and post it on your bathroom mirror. As you continually choose to set your mind on Him first thing in the morning, you’ll pave the way to victory and enjoy the good things He has in store for you!

Father, thank You for the gift of today. I choose to set my mind on You. Thank You for Your goodness and mercy and for always preparing the way for victory in Jesus name! Amen.

Benue Assembly recommen

The recommendation followed a correspondence from Governor Hyacinth Alia, which was read during plenary by the Majority Leader, Saater Tiseer.

In the letter, the governor accused Justice Ikpambese of abuse of office by overturning the Benue State Electoral Law, which had been passed by the House of Assembly and assented to by the governor.

He also alleged financial mismanagement, claiming that the Chief Judge misappropriated budgetary allocations meant for the judiciary.

The governor further accused him of interfering with judicial processes by engaging with politicians and political officeholders to influence court rulings.

With this decision, the recommendation now awaits further action from the executive arm of the state government

The combination of culinary expertise with live entertainment provides diners with a unique and memorable experience, making it a preferred choice for special occasions.

4. Set the Ambiance
Complement the live cooking experience with themed decor, lighting, and music to enhance the overall atmosphere. Creating a cohesive ambiance adds to the enjoyment of the event.

The Art Of Interactive Dining-a Culinary Experience Like No Other

> By Itoro Oladokun

To be honest, Nigerians are daring and adventurous at the same time, especially with food. We all have that secret food combo we absolutely love but won’t boast about in the open because, as the name implies—it’s weird! If you want to put your taste buds up for a challenge, see the weirdest yet tastiest food combinations we love:

Indomie and Agege bread

Instant noodles already slap on their own, but some people take it up a notch by stuffing them into Agege bread. The result? A carb overload that somehow just works. It’s soft, chewy, and packed with that signature Indomie flavour. The only rule? Eat it with confidence, and don’t look at anybody so their body expression doesn’t confuse your gut.

Eba and beans

Don’t scream yet! Eba should be paired with soup, right? Wrong. Some bold foodies have discovered that eba and beans—especially porridge beans—make an unexpectedly satisfying duo. It’s heavy, it’s starchy, but if your stomach can handle it, it’s oddly comforting. For a more satisfying weirdo combo, pair beans with fufu.

Rice and Okra soup

We all agree rice is versatile, but okra soup? That’s where lines get blurred. Yet, many Nigerians secretly enjoy this slimy and delicious pairing. The okra coats each grain of rice perfectly, making swallowing almost too easy. But don’t say it out loud unless you’re ready to defend your taste buds. If you’re from the western part of the country, rice and Ewedu is pure magic—not kidding!

Suya and chocolate drink

Suya paired with cold, creamy Milo or Bournvita hits differently. It might sound chaotic, but that mix of heat and sweetness is elite. If you’ve ever dipped suya into your hot chocolate while pretending it was an accident, just know you’re not alone.

Garri and Ketchup

Yes, we love garri with milk and sugar, but some people push boundaries by mixing it with ketchup. The tangy sweetness of ketchup and the crunchiness of dry garri create an oddly satisfying contrast. It’s a mystery why this works, but some people swear by it.

Garri and Mango

Garri and mango have saved lives since back in the day. If you grew up where there was an abundance of mangoes and plenty of garri, you would agree with me that this combo is the real deal—especially when the hot sun has drained you from endless trekking back from school. And if you want to take it a step further, try banana and garri—it’s heavenly!

Yam and Mayonnaise

Boiled yam meets mayo in this unconventional pairing. While butter and palm oil are more traditional choices, mayonnaise brings a creamy, slightly tangy twist that actually makes yam softer and tastier. It’s tagged ‘Yamalicious yam.’ You might raise an eyebrow at first, but one bite will have you questioning everything. But if you don’t trust your bowels to cooperate, challenge your taste buds with this when your toilet is vacant.

Akara and Jam

Akara (bean cake) with bread is a classic, but have you ever tried it with jam? That sweet-savory combo hits differently, almost like a Nigerian version of pancakes with syrup. If you ever find yourself out of butter, just spread a little jam on akara and thank us later.

Fried plantain and Egusi soup

We all love dodo (fried plantain) on the side of rice or beans, but mixing it directly into egusi soup? That’s a different level of boldness. The sweetness of the plantain with the nuttiness of egusi creates a blend that is shockingly addictive.

Spaghetti and Beans

Don’t think this is the regular spaghetti with beans by the side. Wrong! I mean mixed spaghetti and beans porridge. It’s odd, but when it lands on your taste buds, it’s pure indulgence!

Food is personal, and taste is subjective. Next time you see someone eating rice with okra or dipping akara in jam, just remember the viral challenge: *“We listen, but we don’t judge.”

Put it to use because some of the best flavours come from unexpected combinations.
Tell us, what’s the weirdest food pairing you secretly love but won’t confess to? Share with us!

Weird But Tasty Food Pairings We Love But Won’t Admit

Benue House Accused of Undermining Judicial Independence

Titus Maduako Eleweke

Nigerian Human Rights lawyer Sir Ifeanyi Ejiofor has described the recent action of the Benue State House of Assembly approving the removal of the state’s Chief Judge, Hon. Justice Maurice Ikpambese, over allegations of financial impropriety and abuse of office as an assault on the sanctity of judicial independence.

After the approval, the Assembly directed that the next most senior judge be sworn in as acting Chief Judge pending the outcome of an investigation into the allegations.

Ejiofor, in a statement, said the actions of the Benue State House of Assembly, culminating in the removal of the Chief Judge, represent a serious and blatant assault on the sanctity of judicial independence in the country.

According to him, disturbingly, even a Reverend Father has played a significant role in this overt coup against the judiciary's autonomy in the country.

He said such political maneuvers starkly highlight the erosion of moral standards within our political landscape.

He commended the proactive intervention of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) under the esteemed leadership of Mazi Afam Osigwe, SAN, in the matter.

"The NBA has rightly criticized the Assembly's actions, labeling them a 'brazen assault on the constitution.'"

Furthermore, the National Judicial Council (NJC) has unequivocally declared the removal of Justice Ikpambese as invalid, reaffirming his position as the Chief Judge of Benue State.

"It is imperative that legal practitioners involved in this unconstitutional act face appropriate sanctions as delineated in our professional code of conduct. We must not permit lawlessness and disorder masquerading as legislative processes to flourish within our democratic framework."
Enough is enough!

Benue House Accused Of Undermining Judicial Independence

Singapore is a bustling hub of global talent, attracting workers from around the world. For foreign workers, particularly those applying for a Work Permit (WP), undergoing a WP Medical Check-Up is a mandatory step. This medical examination ensures the health and safety of workers while safeguarding the larger community. In this guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know about the WP Medical Check-Up in Singapore.

What is a WP Medical Check-Up?
A WP Medical Check-Up is a compulsory health screening required for all work permit applicants in Singapore. The check-up assesses a worker's health status to ensure they are fit for employment and do not pose a health risk to others.
This medical check-up typically screens for infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis and HIV, and may also include pregnancy tests for female workers. The results of the examination are submitted to the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) as part of the work permit application or renewal process.

Why is the WP Medical Check-Up Required?
The WP Medical Check-Up serves several important purposes:
Compliance with MOM Regulations: Singapore’s MOM mandates the medical check-up to ensure that foreign workers meet health standards before starting work.
Workplace Safety: Certain medical conditions can affect performance and safety in physically demanding jobs.
Public Health Protection: Screening for infectious diseases helps protect the community from potential health threats.
Employers who fail to comply with these requirements risk penalties, including the rejection of work permit applications.

Who Needs a WP Medical Check-Up?
The medical check-up is mandatory for all new work permit applicants and some work pass renewals. This includes:
Domestic Workers: Those employed as helpers in households.
Construction Workers: Individuals working in physically demanding and high-risk environments.
Healthcare Staff: Workers exposed to patients and medical equipment.
Manufacturing and Service Sector Employees: Workers in industries where health standards are critical.

When Should You Undergo the WP Medical Check-Up?
Newly arrived work permit holders must complete the medical check-up within 14 days of arrival in Singapore. For work permit renewals, MOM may require workers to undergo periodic health screenings depending on their industry and age.
Certain categories, like domestic workers, need annual medical check-ups to monitor their health consistently. Failing to complete the medical check-up within the stipulated timeline could result in permit rejection.

What Tests Are Included in a WP Medical Check-Up?
The WP Medical Check-Up consists of several tests, depending on the worker's role and MOM's requirements. Common tests include:
General Physical Examination: Checks height, weight, and overall health.
Infectious Disease Screening: Tests for tuberculosis, HIV, and syphilis.
Pregnancy Test (for Female Workers): Required to ensure compliance with employment policies for domestic and healthcare workers.
Drug Screening (if applicable): For workers in sensitive sectors like security.
These tests help employers ensure that workers can perform their duties safely.

How to Prepare for Your WP Medical Check-Up?
Proper preparation ensures a smooth and successful medical check-up process. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get ready:
Gather Required Documents: Bring your passport, In-Principle Approval (IPA) letter, and any relevant MOM documents.
Know the Tests: Understand the specific tests required for your industry, especially if you work in healthcare or domestic service.
Follow Fasting Instructions (if applicable): Some blood tests may require fasting for 8–12 hours. Confirm this with your clinic.
Wear Comfortable Clothing: Choose attire that allows easy access for tests like blood pressure measurement.
Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: These substances can affect blood test results, so refrain from consuming them 24 hours before the check-up.
A little preparation goes a long way in avoiding last-minute hiccups.

Step-by-Step Process of the WP Medical Check-Up
The process for a WP Medical Check-Up in Singapore is straightforward. Here’s what to expect:

Test results are usually available within 1–3 working days. Some clinics offer same-day results for urgent cases.

Step 5: Submission to MOM
The clinic will submit the results directly to MOM. If any follow-up is needed, you’ll be informed.

How Much Does the WP Medical Check-Up Cost?
The cost of a WP Medical Check-Up in Singapore typically ranges from SGD 60 to SGD 100, depending on the clinic and the tests required.

Factors Affecting the Cost:
Clinic Type: Private clinics may charge more than polyclinics.
Test Complexity: Additional tests, such as drug screenings, add to the cost.

Infectious Diseases: Conditions like tuberculosis, HIV, or syphilis can disqualify a worker if untreated.
Pregnancy (for Female Domestic Workers): Pregnancy may affect eligibility for certain jobs, especially domestic work.
Substance Abuse: Some roles require mandatory drug testing, and a positive result can lead to disqualification.

Next Steps After Failing:
Seek medical advice for potential treatment or retesting.
Employers may request a second opinion from another approved clinic if the initial results are questionable.
If the medical issue is temporary or treatable, reapplication may be possible after recovery.

Renewal of Work Permit: Medical Check-Up Requirements
For certain work permit categories, particularly domestic workers, MOM mandates regular medical check-ups to monitor ongoing health and well-being.

Key Points About Renewal Check-Ups:
Annual Medical Examinations: Domestic workers must undergo yearly health screenings.
Specific Test Requirements: Tests may vary based on the worker's industry and age.
MOM Notification: Results are sent directly to MOM, ensuring compliance with health regulations.
Employers should schedule these check-ups in advance to avoid any lapse in work permit validity.

"Igbo coup" was clearly not a material reality - it was a story invented out of thin air and amplified by the usual suspects who had an interest in starting a war to destabilise one of Africa's rising stars, ultimately resulting in 3 million deaths, an entire region's infrastructure destroyed, 3 entirely wasted years, and deep scars and ethnic divisions afterward.

Which is why you should very honestly ask yourself why the same white British agents of disinformation who sold "Igbo coup" to the Nigerian public via BBC, and thus started West Africa's deadliest-ever war, are back in Nigeria in 2025 paying journalists £1,000 per quarter to "fight disinformation," and "expose foreign influence and manipulation."

This is where you put your thinking caps on and add 2 and 2 together.

Known for his passionate preaching during the Everyday Program on campus, Pastor Jimmy—who always referred to himself as “A man in Christ”—has now transitioned into a different identity and is reportedly married to his white partner in a same-sex union.

This transformation has left many in disbelief, with questions flooding social media: What changed Pastor Jimmy of RCF?

Speculations vary—some believe he made the choice to escape poverty, while others argue that his foundation in faith was not strong enough. There are also claims that the lure of money and comfort may have outweighed his previous moral convictions.

Whatever the reason, Pastor Jimmy’s story has become a topic of heated debate. From a fiery preacher on campus to a mistress in a same-sex marriage, his journey remains one of the most unexpected turns in recent times.
