NO MATTER YOUR WEIGHT, IT IS ONLY GOD WHO HAS THE POWER TO CREATE WEALTH AND HELP YOU ACHIEVE IT.

To the Leadership of University of Calabar

For students who have invested 7-8 years of their lives, many now in their final year, this directive to withdraw is not just disheartening; it is deeply unjust.

Education is a contract built on trust: when a student commits time, effort, and money, the institution must keep its end of the bargain. These students did not over-admit themselves. They did not set the quotas. They did not create this crisis. These actions are of the school!

It is unfair and frankly unacceptable to push the burden of a broken system onto young people who have only done what they were told would secure their future.

I hope the University of Calabar rethinks this decision and finds a fair solution that doesn’t dump the weight on young people who’ve already given so much.

Let’s do better. These students and Nigeria deserve better.

Nigeria depends on the strength of its institutions.

What Peter Obi did by serving food at the event wasn’t about politics or seeking publicity.

He was participating in the Jubilee of Hope, a special day created to reverse roles—where the rich serve the poor.

It’s more than a kind gesture. It is a powerful reminder of equity, justice, and the kind of humanity we should all strive for.

This tradition encourages people in positions of privilege to step into humility and service, even if only for a day.

It speaks to the very heart of many faiths, especially the Catholic Church, which teaches that love is best shown through action.

A serving senator, Chijinkem Ugwuanyi, was also there, serving food to others during the same event.

That alone tells you this moment wasn’t about politics. It was about people.

Strife is a divisive agent which causes confusion, destroy unity, and create hostility in human relationships.

*TRUE FULFILMENT IS IN CHRIST*

*Friday 11th July 2025*

*TO THE BIBLE*
*Acts 17:28 NIV;* “For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.”

*LET’S TALK*

“Did you hear what that billionaire said before he passed?” Ogooluwa asked Titilayo, his voice low but curious.

Titilayo looked up from her phone. “Who? Mr. Kingston? The tech guy?”

“Yeah,” Ogooluwa nodded.

_*“After building that empire and owning everything money could buy, his last words were... ‘I found out that true fulfilment is in Christ.’”*_

Titilayo blinked. “Seriously? After all that?”

Ogooluwa shrugged.

“Guess it shows there’s more to life than just success and money.”

Do you ever look around and think, “Wow, man, has come up with remarkable innovations!” Like, we’ve built rockets that touch space, phones that can do pretty much everything, and art that makes you feel all kinds of emotions.

Man was made in the image of God, and that’s why even the natural man possesses incredible capacity and potential. But even with all that, something’s missing. Think about it: people have made life easier with all these inventions, hoping it would make them happier. Yet, why do so many still feel empty inside? Why do we hear about celebrities and super successful people who have it all but still feel lost?

For instance, think of a professor who has acquired immense knowledge yet struggles with the meaning of life. He has no peace or satisfaction despite his intellectual prowess and tragically decides to end his life. How sad! This example illustrates that no matter how much knowledge or success one attains, true fulfilment is in Christ and Christ alone.

Even today, a lot of people are still asking, “Why am I here?” They’ve got the fame, the cars, the followers, but deep down, they’re searching for something more. And it’s not just older people dealing with this. Right now, so many young people are asking the same questions: Why am I here? What’s the point? Some have lots of followers, viral videos, designer clothes, and all the attention they could ask for—but when they’re alone, they feel empty. Others think, “Maybe if I just disappear or start over, I’ll finally feel peace.”

Christ is the source of all joy, all peace, and all fulfilment. Outside of Him, everything is fleeting and meaningless. In Him, you find the meaning of life, the purpose for which you were created, and the true joy that transcends circumstances. In Christ, you find all of God’s goodness. Hallelujah!

*FURTHER READING*
John 10:10; John 15:11; Psalm 16:11

*PRAY*

Dear Lord Jesus, I thank you for being my source of true fulfilment, joy, and peace. You’re my reason for being; my satisfaction and pure delight come from my relationship with you by the Holy Spirit. And I thank you for helping me bring many others into the same glorious life of purpose, eternal joy, and true fulfilment in Jesus's mighty name, Amen.

*ACT*

Take a moment today to pause and ask yourself: What am I really living for? Is it likes, followers, success, or something deeper? In Christ alone lies true fulfilment, ask him to come into your life today if you are yet to.

*CALVARY GREETINGS AND HAPPY WEEKEND TO YOU ALL FROM ARCHBISHOP PROF. SIMEON, DR. GRACE AND FAMILY, GBELEYI*

Ignorance of the law is no excuse

I’m so excited about Viktor Gyökeres joining Arsenal not because I naively believe one striker guarantees trophies, but because I understand what’s been missing.

For the last 3 seasons, the only real difference between Arsenal and City / Liverpool has been shambolic officiating and cheatcodes up front. Salah and Haaland didn’t just play; they decided titles. They walked away with Golden Boots while we held Golden Gloves.

We’ve been defending like champions. But in attack? We’ve relied heavily on Saka and hoped the rest show up. That’s not enough.

With Gyökeres, we finally get a ruthless 9 who thrives on half-chances. And with the amount of chances we create? This is the signing that could take us very close to both the Premier League and the Champions League.

This is exactly why I didn’t want a "project" like Sesko. I wanted someone ready-made, someone who hits the ground running not someone we’re still "developing" in crunch time.

I was also disappointed with Partey leaving. You don’t just tinker with a midfield like you’re switching sim cards , it takes years to build that chemistry. But overall, I’m confident we’re going in stronger next season.

Give us two more attackers, and this Arsenal team is cooking something special.
Come on you Gunners

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

AT BRICS SUMMIT, PRESIDENT TINUBU CALLS FOR REEVALUATION OF GLOBAL GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE, FINANCE AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS



President Bola Tinubu has called for a reevaluation of the current global governance structure and the financial and healthcare systems, urging greater equity and inclusion for low-income and emerging economies, particularly in Africa.

At the 17th meeting of the Global South and the Emerging Economies bloc, BRICS, on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the President stated that environmental degradation, the climate crisis, and healthcare inequalities should receive more attention, as they contribute to slowing growth and development.

President Tinubu, invited to the summit by Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, stated that Nigeria supports the BRICS position on the need to focus on collective, fair, and equitable global development.

Nigeria became the ninth partner country of BRICS in January 2025, joining Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan. The 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan in October 2024 created the partner-country category.

President Tinubu said, "Nigeria, therefore, associates with what I have heard today and all that has happened in BRICS. The next issues are financial restructuring and reevaluation of the global structure."

He noted that environmental degradation, climate crisis, and global healthcare inequalities were shared concerns pertinent to Africa.

"Africa has contributed the least to global emissions but suffers the most," he added.

President Tinubu emphasised the need for a new path of justice, anchored in fairness, sustainable technology transfer, and accessible financing, so that emerging economies can fully benefit from various initiatives.

"The African continent is creating the path through the African Carbon Market Initiative and the Great Green Wall. We believe that COP-30 will strengthen our resolve to adopt a strategic approach to achieving a healthy global environment.

"Nigeria strongly believes in South-South cooperation. We can, therefore, not be passive participants in global decision-making on financial restructuring, debt forgiveness, climate change, environmental issues, and healthcare.

"We must be the architects of a future that addresses the specific needs and concerns of youths, who represent 70 per cent of our population in Nigeria. Therefore, Nigeria remains guided by our long-term vision, 2050, and nationally determined contribution.

"We are taking bold steps to accelerate renewable energy adoption, mainstream climate action, promote nature-based solutions, strengthen urban resilience, champion South-South cooperation, align with the global renewal framework and achieve universal health coverage for all," the President stated.

President Tinubu also said that addressing non-communicable diseases must remain a collective health concern.

"As we approach COP-30 and look to strengthen the global health system, we believe the BRICS must not only be a bloc for emerging economies but also a beacon for emerging solutions and resolutions rooted in solidarity, self-reliance, sustainability, and shared prosperity of a common future.

"Nigeria reaffirms its commitment to strategic collaboration that translates into sustainable and inclusive development for all," he noted.

Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Mr Wale Edun, the Minister of Finance, accompanied the President to the summit.

In exercising its pro tempore presidency of BRICS, the Brazilian government announced Nigeria's formal admission as a partner country on January 17, 2025.

As the world's sixth-most populous country and one of Africa's major economies, Nigeria shares convergent interests with other BRICS members.

Nigeria plays an active role in strengthening South-South cooperation and reforming global governance, which are top priorities during Brazil's current presidency.
