INEC to Screen Recall Petition Against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan—What’s Really Going On?

Morgan Freeman Blog

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has officially announced its plan to screen a recall petition against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, the lawmaker representing Kogi Central Senatorial District.

The petition, reportedly signed by over 250,000 registered voters , was submitted to INEC’s headquarters in Abuja on Monday by Charity Ijese, acting on behalf of some constituents. INEC Secretary, Rose Oriaran-Anthony, received the petition and assured that the process will follow due legal procedures .

Why Are They Pushing for Natasha’s Recall?

The petitioners claim they have lost confidence in Akpoti-Uduaghan’s ability to represent them in the Senate . This development follows her suspension from the Senate over alleged misconduct—a move many believe was politically motivated.

The Political Underbelly—Who Really Wants Natasha Out?

This recall attempt has raised serious concerns . Akpoti-Uduaghan has been vocal in challenging powerful political figures, and her suspension was widely seen as an attempt to silence her. Now, with this recall petition, many believe there is a coordinated effort to completely remove her from office.

Key Questions to Consider:

Is this truly the will of the people, or a well-orchestrated political plot?
Who are the real forces behind this recall attempt?
Will INEC conduct a fair process, or is there external influence at play?

What Happens Next?

If the petition meets constitutional requirements, INEC will proceed to a referendum , where registered voters in Kogi Central will decide whether to remove or retain Akpoti-Uduaghan.

This is a developing story, and Morgan Freeman Blog will be monitoring every twist and turn .

What’s your take on this? Do you think Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan is being unfairly targeted, or is her recall justified? Let’s discuss!

FACTS ABOUT YOUR MAN’S SEX LIFE
Love and Relationship Affairs

Most of the time, you complain that your husband’s demand for sex is too frequent. You feel his crave for sex is similar to his need for food and you can’t help but wonder if sex is the only thing he thinks about. Men and women in the areas of sex are wired differently. With these variations in mind, all you need to do is to know how men see sex and understand how to relate with your own man.

Sex is one thing husbands would ask more of. Almost all husbands wish their wives can step up their sexual abilities and give them more at “bed time”. Your husband’s case is not different. Ask him and you will be surprised he is likely to be among the 92% of men who say they want more of sex.

Sex of yesterday is for yesterday. While you are still enjoying the fulfillment of yesterday’s sex, your “lover boy” is already thinking of how to get another one. Remember, every man has a sex drive that is stronger than the average woman.

A man’s sex drive is one of his strongest drives. You need to know that only a few things matter to a man than his sex life and the sex drive is stronger than any other “drive” in his body. This is the reason nothing really matters to most men whenever they want sex.

Every man wants his wife to be romantic and involved in bed. No man will love to have a “bedroom failure” as a wife. No matter how religious they are, they want romantic, exciting and tantalizing wives.

He needs routine sexual gratification the same way his wife needs routine acts of love, care and kindness. Just as you want him to be kind to you; he also wants you to be available in bed at least 2 or 3 times a week. Crises arise when the wife wants the act of kindness before sex and the man wants sexual gratification before an act of kindness. My word for you wife is; break the cycle. Give him sex, and see if he won’t show you more love and care.

Virtually every man experiences arousal, attraction and temptation seven times a day. Let him fall into your hands, not into the hands of a strange woman. Help him manage his sexuality.

Men are moved by what they see. Let your husband be attracted to you. Never allow his secretary to take your position; dress nicely. If you are alone in the house put on skimpy dresses, sexy underwears; let him be moved towards you. Dress up in front of him. Make it “The-more-you-look-the-more-you-see” affair. Dress slowly to the extent that he will notice you. You are in your palace, “you own your husband.

Wants the wife to be actively involved in sex. Almost 90% of men said they will be more motivated if their wives can get involved in the bedroom. They said unanimously that they hate “dry and drab” women in their bedrooms.
Your man wants you to be involved during foreplay and love making. He wants you to roll your body, turn, raise your laps, roll your buttocks, hold him, put your breast in his mouth, moan, talk, gibber and show that you are really enjoying him. Make him feel like a real man.

Men are more aroused when their wives seduce them. Most men enjoy sexual invitations. Surprise your man by inviting him; become the “seducer” and see how happy he will be. Don’t be ashamed to flirt with your husband; be his mistress, his concubine.

More than 70% of men want sex at least 2 or 3 times a week, while more than 60% of women want sex 2 or 3 times a month. This is where wisdom comes in for you as a woman. If you must keep your man, protect your home and send strange women far from your husband, then you must learn how to improve your bedroom performance. Be among the 40 % of women who are enjoying better relationships with their husbands too.

THE DEBATE ABOUT TITHE (Part I)
By
Rev. Prof. John O. Enyinnaya

INTRODUCTION
A debate about tithing has raged in Nigeria's media for quite some time. Several people have canvassed positions that painted a negative view of the tithe and tithers. A pastor made a mistake by claiming that a person who does not pay tithe will not go to heaven (a claim he has retracted). Many antagonists of the tithe swung to the other side of the pendulum, tending to suggest that anyone who practices tithing is not a New Testament Christian.

Some people criticize the practice of tithing because they believe it is an Old Testament injunction not sustained in the New Testament. These have argued their positions by presenting the matter in the context of the debate about law and grace. However, most antagonists criticize tithing on considerations other than biblical or theological reasons.

Following the discussions, one observes that the key factors motivating the debate have nothing to do with what the Bible teaches. I intend to address the issue of tithing in three parts. Whereas it is essential to enquire about the biblical teachings about the tithe (I shall address that in part two), I wish to unmask the non-theological motivations behind the debate. In part three, I will try to enunciate the significance of the tithe and its place in the Christian’s discharge of their stewardship responsibilities towards God and his kingdom work.

REACTION AGAINST "COMMERCIAL" TENDENCIES OF SOME PASTORS
Many people I have heard criticizing the practice of tithing have not hidden their angst with pastors who, they claim, their teachings about tithing are motivated by the desire to enrich themselves. They argue that pastors profit through tithing at the expense of their poor members. Thus, the tithe of poor members ends up financing the lavish lifestyles of these pastors. While it is true that some pastors are guilty of unorthodox teachings and practices and even unconscionable extravagance, this is only true of a negligible, tiny minority of “pastors”.

Most Christians in Nigeria belong to the established churches whose members know that the money they give to their churches does not go to their pastor. In the established churches, the tithe is given to the church. The pastor only receives a salary based on these churches' approved standards and policies. So, no pastor of these churches can be accused of enriching himself with members’ tithe. I also know some of the newly founded churches that operate a similar system of transparency and accountability. For the members and pastors of such churches, therefore, the accusation that pastors unlawfully profit from members’ financial support for their churches clearly does not apply.

TENDENCY TOWARDS POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
The debate about the tithe has taken the shape of political correctness. It is no longer fashionable to speak in favour of the tithe. It is trendier to criticize the practice of tithing, so many people join the bandwagon. It is not strange these days to hear a pastor criticizing the practice of tithing and claiming that they no longer collect offerings in their churches as if that is an achievement. Such positioning comes from the needless desire to gain the crowd's applause and be seen to belong.

THE ALLURE OF SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS
Closely related to the above is the desire of many people to join whatever is trending on social media. The social media has become a powerful influence on people’s opinions and beliefs. A perceptive observer will notice that many things that trend on social media are not products of critical and rigorous thinking. The social media frenzy resulting in the criticism of tithing and all kinds of giving to the church is one such trend lacking in rigorous thought and reflection.

CONCLUSION
The ongoing debate about tithe has been largely unsolicited because tithers are not complaining about tithing. It is mainly non-tithers that are emotionally invested in criticizing the practice and trolling anyone who speaks in favour of it, akin to taking paracetamol for another person’s headache. A person with any experience of giving to the Lord and receiving the blessings thereof will have no time for idle arguments that do not hold water.

Think about the last time you accomplished something meaningful. Did it happen by accident, or did you have a clear plan? The same principle applies to your finances—setting financial goals is the foundation of success.

Why Set Financial Goals?

Gives you direction and purpose.
Helps you focus your resources.
Motivates you to stick to your budget and save.
How to Set Smart Financial Goals:

Be Specific: Instead of saying, “I want to save money,” set a goal like, “I’ll save $10,000 in 12 months.”
Make it Measurable: Track your progress regularly to stay motivated.
Ensure It’s Achievable: Be realistic based on your income and expenses.
Set a Timeline: Deadlines create urgency and help you stay on track.
Break It Down: Divide big goals into smaller, manageable milestones.
Pro Tip: Write down your goals and review them often. The clearer your goals are, the more likely you are to achieve them.

3. Saving vs. Investing: Which Should You Focus On?
Saving and investing are both essential to building wealth, but they serve different purposes. So, how do you know when to save and when to invest?

When to Save:

You’re building an emergency fund (3–6 months of living expenses).
You’re saving for short-term goals like a vacation or down payment.
You want easy access to your money without the risk of loss.
When to Invest:

You’re aiming for long-term growth (5+ years).
You’re comfortable with some level of risk.
You want your money to grow faster than inflation.
Key Differences:

Savings: Low risk, low reward. Best for safety and liquidity.
Investing: Higher risk, higher potential reward. Best for building wealth over time.
Pro Tip: Strike a balance. Build your savings first, then start investing to grow your money. Both are essential to your financial health.

YOUR CIRCLE-YOUR FUTURE

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.
– Jim Rohn

“Show me your friends, and I’ll show you your future” is a popular quote indicating that the relationships we keep shape not just our social lives but also our personal growth, mindset, and success. My Pastor will always say that who you hang around determines what hangs around you.
Imagine your life as a garden—you need the right environment and care to flourish. When you surround yourself with supportive, ambitious, and positive people, they encourage your growth and inspire you to reach higher levels. On the other hand, spending time with negative, unmotivated, or toxic individuals can drain your energy and hinder your potential.

This is why it matters:

- Mindset Shift: Your close circle influences how you think. Optimistic people encourage resilience, while negativity breeds doubt and stagnation.

- Energy and Habits: We unconsciously adopt the behaviors, attitudes, and habits of those around us. If your circle practices discipline and persistence, you are likely to follow suit.

- Opportunities and Network: Your relationships open doors to new opportunities.

- Surrounding yourself with successful individuals exposes you to ideas, resources, and connections that can propel your growth.

Real-Life Application:

- If you want to grow financially, align with people who have strong financial habits.
- If cultivate a healthier lifestyle, spend time with individuals who value fitness and wellness.
- If you Seek personal development, surround yourself with learners, readers, and people who challenge you to be better.
Then imagine getting all these in a circle of friends - a supportive network that motivates you, inspires growth, and helps you become the best version of yourself.

What to do:

Evaluate your inner circle. Who are the five people you spend the most time with? Are they adding value to your life or holding you back? Change your company, and you’ll change your results.

My Advice:

Choose your circle wisely, as it determines not just where you are now but where you’ll end up.

The phrase "Pride goeth before a fall" is a proverb that conveys a timeless truth about the consequences of hubris and arrogance. This expression, often attributed to the biblical book of Proverbs, specifically Proverbs 16:18, serves as a cautionary reminder that excessive pride often leads to one's downfall. The full verse in the King James Version states, "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." This succinctly encapsulates the idea that inflated self-esteem or an overestimation of one’s abilities can precipitate failure or calamity.

At its core, the proverb reflects a profound understanding of human nature and the potential pitfalls of pride. Pride, in this context, is not merely a sense of self-respect or confidence; rather, it denotes an overwhelming belief in one's superiority, often accompanied by disdain for others. This kind of pride blinds individuals to their limitations and the realities surrounding them. It fosters an environment where critical reflection and humility are displaced by a sense of invincibility.

Historically, many cultures have recognized the dangers of pride. In Greek mythology, the tale of Icarus serves as an illustrative example. Icarus, the son of Daedalus, flew too close to the sun with wings made of wax and feathers, despite his father’s warnings. His hubris and desire to soar higher than he should have ultimately led to his demise when the sun melted the wax, causing him to fall into the sea. This story underscores the idea that overstepping one’s bounds, motivated by pride, can lead to disastrous outcomes.

In literature, the theme of pride preceding a fall recurs frequently. Shakespeare’s characters often embody this lesson. For instance, in "Macbeth," the titular character’s ambition and pride lead him to commit heinous acts in pursuit of power. His initial success and rise to the throne are ultimately overshadowed by guilt, paranoia, and the inevitable downfall that follows. Similarly, in "Hamlet," the pride of King Claudius in his cunning and deceit leads to a chain of events that culminates in tragedy for nearly all characters involved.

The implications of this proverb extend beyond individual narratives and into broader social and political contexts. Leaders who exhibit pride and arrogance often make decisions that can lead to widespread consequences. History is replete with examples of leaders whose inflated sense of self-importance led to catastrophic failures, whether through misguided policies, neglect of counsel, or an unwillingness to acknowledge their limitations. The fall of empires, the collapse of businesses, and the failure of policies can often be traced back to the hubris of those in power.

In contemporary society, the dangers of pride manifest in various forms, particularly in the age of social media, where self-promotion can easily lead to a distorted self-image and inflated ego. The relentless pursuit of validation through likes and followers can foster an environment where individuals feel invulnerable, leading to risky behaviors and decisions. The public downfall of many social media influencers and celebrities often serves as a stark reminder of how pride can lead to a swift reversal of fortune.

Moreover, the personal ramifications of pride can affect relationships and community dynamics. Individuals who prioritize their own ego over collaboration and mutual respect often find themselves isolated. The inability to recognize the value of others can lead to missed opportunities for growth, learning, and connection. Pride can create barriers to effective communication, understanding, and empathy, ultimately resulting in relational fractures.

In conclusion, "Pride goeth before a fall" serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between self-confidence and overweening pride. It speaks to the fundamental human experience and the need for humility. Recognizing one's limitations, valuing the contributions of others, and maintaining a grounded perspective are essential in navigating both personal and collective journeys. By acknowledging the potential pitfalls of pride, individuals can strive for a more balanced existence, fostering resilience and wisdom in the face of life’s inevitable challenges. This profound wisdom, deeply rooted in history and literature, remains relevant today, urging us all to reflect on the role of pride in our lives and its capacity to shape our destinies.
