Daniel P. Horan marks the 800th anniversary of St. Francis’ death by exploring a lesser-known aspect of his legacy: ecclesiastical disobedience. He shows how Francis sometimes chose the Gospel over church mandates when they conflicted with Christ’s teaching.

Drawing on the idea of civil disobedience, Horan highlights two key examples: Francis’ journey to peace talks with Sultan Malik Al-Kamil during the Fifth Crusade and his radical outreach to lepers despite strict church segregation laws. In both cases, Francis followed his conscience rather than conforming to ecclesiastical demands.

Horan argues that Francis’ highest loyalty was always to the Gospel. His example challenges modern believers to weigh church policies against the command to love and serve all people, even when that means respectfully defying established authority.

Victor Osimhen charters a Cessna Citation Latitude for his weekend runs between Istanbul and Lagos. He covers the 4,600 km flight in about six-and-a-half hours to spend a few days at home.

Each trip costs roughly $45,000 to $60,000 — that’s around ₦60 million to ₦81 million per flight. As football’s highest-earning Nigerian, he prefers pay-as-you-go charters over outright ownership.

Osimhen says he loves returning to Lagos, calling it “my Miami.” The jet’s low cabin altitude and flat-floor cabin help him avoid jet lag and arrive ready to perform.

Enzo Fernández has voiced his disappointment over Chelsea’s decision to sack manager Enzo Maresca.

Maresca arrived in June 2024 and immediately imposed a disciplined tactical system. Under his guidance, Chelsea lifted the UEFA Conference League trophy and beat PSG 3-0 to win the FIFA Club World Cup.

Speaking to Mexican media outlet TUDN, Fernández said he and his teammates still don’t understand why the board made the change. He praised Maresca’s clear identity in training and match play.

The Argentine midfielder added that losing Maresca in mid-season was painful and disrupted the momentum the team had built.

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has exported 12 cargoes totalling 456,000 tonnes of refined products to Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Tanzania, Ghana and Togo. This follows the refinery reaching its full 650,000 barrels-per-day capacity earlier this year.

The shipments, sold on a Free on Board basis, equal about 608 million litres of Euro 5 gasoline and diesel. These exports aim to ease fuel shortages in West, East and Central Africa by cutting reliance on long-haul imports and reducing logistics costs.

A senior refinery official said this milestone reflects growing confidence in Nigeria’s refining capacity and a shift in the continent’s energy supply chain. He added that domestic needs remain fully covered and the facility is ready to meet rising regional demand.

FCT Minister Nyesom Wike says Abuja is secure despite reports of banditry. He acknowledges that crime exists but insists claims of persistent banditry are exaggerated.

While inspecting ongoing projects on Monday, Wike noted isolated kidnapping incidents in parts of the territory. He praised security agencies for their swift response and the successful rescue of recent victims in Bwari.

He argued that highlighting one crime without recognizing numerous prevented attacks undermines the work of security operatives. Wike called for greater acknowledgement of their achievements rather than focusing solely on isolated incidents.

At a recent Divine Intervention and Breakthrough Service in Lagos, Dr. Chris Okafor taught that wisdom is the key to ending generational curses and recurring family struggles. He explained that no negative pattern fades on its own; it takes insight and responsibility to change the narrative.

Dr. Okafor unpacked the series “Patterns,” revealing how covenant practices, spiritual discipline, and intentional prayer give God legal ground to intervene. He warned that prayer without action slows results, but when we combine faith, sacrifice, and obedience, long-standing cycles fall away.

The service also featured powerful moments of deliverance, healing, and testimonies of lives restored. In a special segment, mothers in the congregation received prayers of honour and blessing, with a declaration that every woman who labours in faith will reap joy and witness her destiny fulfilled.

In Nigeria’s context, the odus addressed borrowing against future revenue and the risks of oversupplying currency. The wisdom urged prudent planning over short-term gains. Farmers, producers, and investors were reminded that tending their resources and saving wisely ensures steady progress.

Across all sectors, the divine counsel stressed that privilege demands care, competition thrives on respect, and true prosperity grows from sacrifice and sound stewardship.

The French-led peace plan launched in 2024 aimed to end the Israel–Hezbollah conflict. It demanded Hezbollah’s disarmament and withdrawal, but deep sectarian divides and mutual distrust made these terms impossible.

Israel insisted on full enforcement of UN Resolution 1701, while Lebanon lacked the capacity and political will to comply. Both sides saw the proposal as an external, top-down solution that ignored their core security concerns.

Daily airstrikes and ground incursions continued, eroding trust in diplomacy. President Macron was criticized for overestimating Lebanon’s ability to challenge Hezbollah. The November 2024 ceasefire collapsed, paving the way for the 2026 Lebanon War.

In early 2026, Macron offered a new deal on mutual recognition, Israeli withdrawal and final border demarcation. Heavy fighting resumed in March after Hezbollah missile strikes and Israeli reprisals. Ongoing sovereignty disputes and the impending exit of UNIFIL have stalled any agreement.

Lagos State Commissioner of Police Moshood Jimoh says traffic robberies in the state have dropped to zero thanks to unmarked patrol vehicles. He explained in a recent interview that blending into regular traffic allows officers to approach crime scenes without alerting suspects.

Jimoh contrasted these with traditional marked patrol cars, which criminals spot and evade. Unmarked units give operatives the element of surprise and help them secure evidence more discreetly, making investigations smoother and more effective.

The commissioner also urged residents to note vehicle identification details when reporting police misconduct. He believes this transparency will strengthen accountability and public trust in the force.

In 33 months, Abia State has received about ₦1.6 trillion. Yet the spotlight remains on the city’s spotless streets. Cleanliness reflects civic pride, but can it stand as the administration’s sole achievement?

Visitors expect more than well-swept roads. They seek new highways, thriving industrial clusters, agro-processing hubs, and planned residential areas. These markers signal lasting economic growth.

With revenue surging and monthly inflows reaching tens of billions, questions arise about budget priorities. Why are salaries and pensions consuming only a fraction of resources? Why is waste disposal treated as the flagship success?

Abia’s sanitation gains deserve credit. However, true legacy lies in diversifying the economy, building modern infrastructure, and creating jobs. Only then can neat streets translate into sustained prosperity.

India’s Central Board of Film Certification has declined to approve the theatrical release of The Voice of Hind Rajab.

The Oscar-nominated documentary by Kaouther Ben Hania follows the 2021 Gaza killing of five-year-old Hind Rajab as her family tried to flee conflict. Distributor Jai Viratra Entertainment screened the film but received no formal ban notice.

Officials reportedly feared the film could strain diplomatic ties with Israel. Critics, including opposition MP Shashi Tharoor, called the move disgraceful and warned it undermines free expression in a democracy.

The film won a Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival and earned an Academy Award nomination. The decision highlights the clash between artistic freedom and geopolitical concerns.

I’ve noticed we can quote scripture, preach truth, and sing with passion, yet we rarely revisit the films that once moved us. When did you last watch The Passion of the Christ?

My wife and I watched Mel Gibson’s film again and it struck us anew. Seeing the weight of sacrifice and the brutality of love awakened something deep in our hearts.

Familiar words can grow dull over time. But witnessing these visual stories up close humbles us and brings us back to the core of our faith.

The Citizens have triumphed in eight of their nine EFL Cup finals, including a run of seven straight victories since 1974. A win would also see Pep Guardiola become the first manager to lift the trophy five times.

During Saturday’s Milan-San Remo one-day classic, Italian rider Debora Silvestri was thrown headfirst over a roadside barrier after a massive pile-up on the Cipressa descent.

The crash involved several cyclists near the end of the 156 km race. Silvestri fell several metres onto a lower section of road and was briefly unconscious before regaining consciousness.

Her team confirmed she was conscious and en route to hospital for further tests and monitoring. Despite the chaos, Belgium’s Lotte Kopecky edged out Switzerland’s Noemi Ruegg to claim victory in a sprint finish.

The triumphant moment was overshadowed by widespread concern for Silvestri’s condition as medical staff continued assessments under close supervision.

Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu has ordered the immediate dissolution of every tactical squad across all commands nationwide. An internal wireless message obtained by a news outlet confirms that units such as the Rapid Response Squad, SWAT, Anti-Kidnapping and Scorpion teams must cease operations at once.

Further details of the restructuring will be unveiled at an end-of-month officers’ conference on March 26, 2026. The move follows public concerns over alleged human rights abuses and extortion by certain tactical units.

Separately, the IGP has mandated a resit promotion exercise for senior officers reportedly overlooked in earlier cycles amid bribery allegations. A high-security detail will ensure the integrity of the process.

Former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh labelled Manchester City’s 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup final a big statement and a masterclass in one-on-one dribbling.

Two second-half strikes from Nico O’Reilly secured the trophy. City’s creative dribblers—Jeremy Doku, Bradley Cherki and Bernardo Silva—overran Arsenal’s low block. Oliseh highlighted Pep Guardiola’s tactic of isolating those players in 1v1 duels.

Despite the Wembley loss, Oliseh believes Arsenal remain strong title contenders. He suggested they still hold the edge in the Premier League race but warned the defeat could be a psychological blow to their quest for multiple trophies.

I wonder if true holiness is possible today. Can a believer go months or years without sinning? I believe the answer is yes.

Holiness may seem out of reach because many of us don’t hunger for righteousness. We pray with far less passion than we invest in visas, jobs or relationships. If we cried out to God with that same desperation, He would surely grant us grace.

God honors our earnest pursuit of purity. As Matthew 5:6 says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” Let us pray persistently and passionately for holiness.
