“And Achan answered Joshua, and said, Indeed I have sinned against the Lord God of Israel, and thus and thus have I done:
When I saw among the spoils a goodly Babylonish garment, and two hundred shekels of silver, and a wedge of gold of fifty shekels weight, then I coveted them, and took them; and, behold, they are hid in the earth in the midst of my tent, and the silver under it.”
- Joshua 7:20-21

Barabbas Iragbiji & Stolen Crown...“Be sure your sin will find you out.”
Numbers 32:23
Another faltering step of a political BAT and rugologist…. third term through the front door!
"Whoever is caught with the devoted things shall be destroyed by fire, along with all that belongs to him. He has violated the covenant of the Lord and has done an outrageous thing in Israel! ……They are hidden in the ground inside my tent, with the silver underneath.”
Joshua 7:15-20.
A tainted President cannot be my President,
A ‘President-elect’ with many question marks on his head
cannot be my President;

Unusually, for the Met, it did give more than a hint that public order events of last weekend would present a challenge to police planners and officers out there on the ground. Doubtless, the headline writers and those former police officers who have appeared so frequently on our screens lambasting police were poised for further media appearances.

Ego Naka…in modern Nigeria, it not character, honesty, integrity, standards and merit, but it’s a matter of cash. And the more, the bigger your space and place in the Nigerian society of today. And in all that life can offer the Nigerian, the successful are those with the most cash, and in 99.09% of the cases, stolen. Therefore, ill-gotten, yet from amongst these conscienceless and mindless crooks emanate the nation’s rulers!
Whilst in the Age of untruth, the fools say money is the measure of value, the wise think otherwise, because money is neither the measure of value nor of truth nor a legal tender in the truth economy.
Since the unsurprising, but very embarrassing and shameful outcome of the 2023 Presidential Election in Nigeria, which no doubt has orphaned a great nation; and predominating in my oracular glass is the uneasy calm that has descended upon our nation with violence and war flapping their wings in and around Nigeria as a fowl shot by an evil hunter, who returned from an unsuccessful hunting expedition at the Okipu rainforest, but turned its anger at a fowl that crossed his path in the heat of the anger of returning empty-handed from the jungle without any game, thinking he would convince his kinsmen that the domesticated fowl was indeed a type of guinea fowl. Is the modern world not full of desperate men like that hunter?
