WE HAVE TURNED TO SPIRITUAL MEANS. WE’VE STARTED FROM KOGI AND KWARA - ADEGBENRO OGUNLANA

According to Punch, as insecurity escalates across Nigeria, various forest-based security groups have renewed their call for federal recognition, insisting they can combine traditional spiritual methods with local expertise to combat terrorism. Among them is the Agbekoya Farmers’ Society, whose Secretary-General, Adegbenro Ogunlana, revealed that spiritual interventions have already been deployed in parts of the country, following directives from the Ifa oracle.

He said, "We have turned to spiritual means. We’ve started from Kogi and Kwara."

According to Ogunlana, sacrifices were carried out across Yoruba-speaking regions, including Kogi and Kwara states, to ward off attacks. He claimed some community members aiding terrorists had been apprehended, stressing that the spiritual approach aims to restore peace and combat threats from within.

He lamented the absence of centralized leadership in Yorubaland and expressed concern that state institutions often discourage self-defense, even as terror groups operate using spiritual tools.

Ogunlana emphasized that the intervention became necessary as violent attacks continued to plague Yoruba communities, especially those with significant natural resources.

In response, the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, acknowledged the worsening security situation and noted that discussions were ongoing with senior Yoruba leaders. He pointed to intelligence reports indicating that terrorists have infiltrated strategic areas, particularly mineral-rich communities. Adams warned that the infiltration of Ibadan and other cities suggests a deepening crisis, which the political class is largely ignoring.

Meanwhile, the Commander of Patrol and Guards for the Nigeria Forest Security Service (NFSS) in North-Central, Alhaji Muhammad Ahmed, urged President Bola Tinubu to sign a pending bill that would formalize their operations. He disclosed that the NFSS, formerly known as the Nigerian Hunters and Forest Security Service, already has Senate and House approval and is only awaiting presidential assent.

Ahmed emphasized that real hunters, distinct from administrative personnel, possess spiritual abilities vital to confronting the nation’s security challenges. He claimed these operatives understand the terrain of the forests where terrorists hide and have encountered them on several occasions.
He expressed strong confidence that once the NFSS is legalized, spiritual forces alongside traditional bushcraft will be strategically deployed to neutralize criminal threats. Ahmed believes this dual approach will drastically reduce violence and restore national security.

Bravery comes with a Price

Tragic Hero: Ehigie D1es a Brave Man, Rescuing Host@g3s From K1dn@pp3rs in Edo Forest

By; Chris Osa Uhunmwangho

On a quiet Easter afternoon, in the heart of Edo State’s dense forest, a story of courage and sacrifice unfolded—one that will be etched in the memory of Udo-Eguare and beyond.

Ehigie, a skilled wood saw operator and hunter, set out on what should have been a routine trip through familiar terrain. But fate had something far greater in store. Deep within the forest, he stumbled upon a horrifying scene: a group of armed K1dn@pp3rs had taken several innocent people host@g3.

With no time to weigh his odds, Ehigie acted on instinct. He fired a warning shot into the air, startling the kidnappers and throwing their ranks into confusion. In that fleeting moment of chaos, he seized the opportunity to free eight captives and guided them through a hidden escape route only a seasoned hunter would know.

But bravery often comes at a steep price.

The kidnappers, enraged and regrouped, pursued him. When their gunfir3 failed to bring him down, they attacked with brute force—using heavy woods to overwhelm him. Despite his fierce resistance, Ehigie was tragically killed.

In a cruel aftermath, the att@ck3rs blocked the Ugbenin/Udo Road, attempting to snatch more victims. Two bystanders were injured by gunfire but are currently receiving treatment in Ubiaja. Miraculously, those Ehigie saved have since been reunited with their families—alive because of his incredible valor.

Ehigie leaves behind a young wife and three children. Though his life was cut short, his legacy is one of selfless heroism. He gave everything to protect others—an act that demands not only recognition but support from the community and government alike.

Let Ehigie’s name be remembered—not just as a man who died, but as one who chose to fight for others when it mattered most.

Something many men do not understand, a womaπ is not wired to recognize your sacrifice. She is wired to embrace abundance.

Meaning?

It doesn't matter how hard you sacrifice for her. You can sell your whole lineage for all she cares but when the right time comes for her to leave, she won't consider all the good things you did for her. She is thankless. Looking at it clearly, a woman[in the core of her nature] loathes a man who sacrifices for her. Such kinds of men are not attractive in her eyes. She is likely to subconsciously punish these types of meπ.

Most men are walking through hell right now trying to compete with ancestor sugar daddies and car jackers in their attempt to please womeπ.

They are fighting a battle they will never win.

The right formula is, one, take care of yourself, invest in your own wellbeing and the right woman will find her way to you. If you invest in her and forget yourself, you automatically lose. You become a pawn in her game. She is going to discard you for a King in the end. The guy who invested in himself will automatically win.

When you uplift her above yourself, you automatically lose in this game.

She has to always stick below you in your life. If she has to be above you in anything, let her father or herself exalt her to that level. If not her father or herself, let it be another man. In this case, you automatically WIN if she ever left.

I know simps will be all over here arguing that a womaπ will not stay where she is not being treated right. Boss, if you have to sacrifice yourself for a womaπ, you are fighting a game that you are going to end up losing. Dishing out your finances to a womaπ so that she can stay hooked to you is like throwing it in a void. You keep throwing until the next simp online shows up and takes her away from you. The void is bottomless and will never get filled. This is defined by one simple rule...YOU CANNOT NEGOTIATE DESIRE.

A womaπ who is into you will stay whether you gave her material things or not. And if she doesn't ask for it, she automatically deserves it all.

If the bonding medium is what you as the man can do for her and not what both of you can do for each other, then, mr man you are trending on a ground full of landmines. Y0u are an automatic LOSER!

Know this and act accordingly!

We are tired of hearing meπ crying loudly in the market saying,

"After all I did for you this is what you pay me with."

And all the Jezebels say is,

"Did I ask/force you to do all that for me?:

Thomas Sankara Predicted the Birth of Ibrahim Traoré
__
When Thomas Sankara was alive, he knew his life was in danger. His bold anti-imperialist policies and actions made him a target. He understood that one day, the imperialists—especially France—would seek to eliminate him.

Sankara rejected foreign aid from institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Instead, he chose self-reliance, making Burkina Faso food self-sufficient. He prioritized agriculture, turning the country into the breadbasket of the Sahel. He slashed the salaries of government officials, including his own, and lived modestly—earning only $450 a month and owning just a car, four bicycles, three guitars, a fridge, and a small house.

Before his assassination—a plot backed by France—Sankara had already foreseen that the struggle would continue beyond his death. He once said, “While revolutionaries as individuals can be murdered, you cannot kill ideas.”

Today, those words ring true. Though they killed Sankara, his ideas live on—reborn in the spirit and leadership of Ibrahim Traoré, who shares striking similarities with Sankara’s revolutionary vision and courage.
Indeed, they cannot kill ideas.

This is why, as a continent, we must embed African history and liberation thought into our school curricula. Our children must learn about the sacrifices of heroes and heroines like Sankara, Lumumba, Julius Nyerere, Amílcar Cabral, Gaddafi, Kwame Nkrumah, Sekou Touré, and many others. We must teach them to carry forward the torch of economic, political, and spiritual liberation.

It's time to move from his-story to our-story. Only then will we truly emancipate the minds of Africa’s youth and secure real independence—not just on paper, but in practice.

You asked him N7,000, and your dad told you he will give you in the morning before he leaves for work. This was after he had thoroughly scrutinized what you needed the money for, all the questions he asked were already making you angry.

Throughout the night your dad couldn't sleep because he was thinking as to why he must sacrifice his last N7,000 for you

In the morning he calls you into his room and gives you N6,000 instead of N7,000

You were not happy and squeezed your face in discontent, and reluctantly said thank you after complaining that it was not all you requested

Your mum after seeing this does not utter a word but meets you in your room where your dad is not present and gives you N1,000 from her own money and say "DON'T MIND HIM" add this to meet your needs.

You began to smile and quickly run to Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp to write.

I have the best mom in the world , I love you mom

Now your dad has gone out with just N500 in his pocket with no fuel in his car. Because of you he used public transport that day to work. He gives your mum N500 to enable her handle emergency while he is away.

At work, he worked overtime. After closing late, everyone of you keeps saying "daddy is never always around except mum".

Your good dad will never allow you to see how much he suffers for the family because he is a MAN

Always try to appreciate your dad your husband and brothers. It's not easy at all. They go through a lot to provide Food, shelter and so on for the family.

You won't know how much a male gender suffers just to provide the little you downgrade, some have to starve themselves just for you.

May God Almighty bless our FATHERS in what ever thing they find themselves doing
AMEN ?

I'M NOT PROSPEROUS BY CHANCE, IT'S BY COVENANT AND DANGEROUS ACTS OF SACRIFICE AS PROMPTED BY THE HOLY GHOST.

- Bishop David Oyedepo

Bishop David Oyedepo teaching during the Impartation Service of the Easter Faith Convention on Monday, 21st April narrated how he vowed his salary to God forever in December, 1987. His salary at the time was N1,386.

He said, "God's romance may be costly. He said, 'My Son, I'm pleased with you.' Oh, goose pimples all over my body. 'But what have you brought for me?' 'Lord, what do I have? Oh, my salary. I give it to you.' It was the most precious treasure of our lives then. How much was it? 1,386 Naira. I said, 'Lord, I give it to you.' That was December '87. Nobody heard it from my mouth until '96 when it had become a testimony with my own Accountant working for me. My wife asked me the following month, what about upkeep salary. I said I've laid it on the Altar so we are free to be hungry. That was the last time she asked. Church Gist. When you hear stories, check the story behind the story. We are not faking this thing here. I'm not prosperous by chance, it's by Covenant, dangerous acts of sacrifice as prompted by the Holy Ghost."

He further stated how God demanded a property from him when funds were needed for Church planting. He obeyed and God told him, 'My Son David, even if you don't want to be rich, it's too late!'

Title: The Porcupine Who Shared Her Quills

In the heart of the golden savanna, where the winds hummed lullabies and the stars blinked like ancestral eyes, lived a porcupine named Noma. She was quiet, thoughtful, and covered in sharp, glistening quills. The animals often avoided her—not out of cruelty, but caution.

“She’s too prickly to be close to,” whispered the hare.
“She carries weapons on her back,” murmured the mongoose.

So Noma wandered alone.

But she watched. And she listened. And she loved them all from afar.

One year, a fierce lion from the northern hills crossed into the savanna. He was wounded, hungry, and angry. He roared his fury into the wind and declared, “This land is mine now!”

The animals trembled. No one dared challenge him. The zebra ran. The baboons hid. Even the cheetah stayed silent.

Then, Noma stepped forward.

The lion snarled. “You? With your little feet and needles?”

“I have no teeth like yours,” she said calmly. “But I do have a gift.”

One by one, she pulled her own quills from her back and laid them in the dust.

“For the birds—make arrows to fly.”
“For the hedgehogs—guard your dens.”
“For the buffalo—defend your young.”
“For the antelope—mark your paths.”

The animals were stunned. Her pain became their protection.

With Noma’s quills, the savanna stood as one.

And when the lion charged again, he found not one enemy—but a forest of unity. He turned and fled into the mountains.

That night, the animals circled Noma. They no longer feared her quills—they honored them. And in the center of the clearing, they built a nest of her feathers of strength.

She had not fought with anger—but with sacrifice.

⸻

Moral Lessons:
1. True strength is not in how much you keep—but in how much you’re willing to give.
2. Even what makes you different can become a gift when shared in love.
3. A single act of courage can inspire unity in the face of fear.

RULES TO A HAPPY, SMART & WISE LIFE....!!!

1. Speak Less, Listen More.

Wisdom: Listening sharpens understanding; silence guards your dignity. Words are powerful tools — the fewer, the better, if you intend them to matter.
Application: When you listen more, people reveal their true intentions. When you speak, weigh your words like a surgeon choosing his tools. Speak when your words can heal, uplift, or instruct.

2. Avoid Pointless Arguments.

Wisdom: Energy is finite. Spend it where it multiplies, not where it drains. Some debates are traps designed to rob you of your peace and reputation.
Application: Learn to smile and excuse yourself from verbal traps. Wise people win wars, not battles. Pick your conversations the way kings pick alliances.

3. Think Before You Speak.

Wisdom: Words are seeds. Once sown, they grow — whether into flowers or thorns.
Application: Practice the three-filter test: Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? If it fails any, remain silent.

4. Practice Humility and Politeness.

Wisdom: Humility isn’t about thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less. The polite person commands more than the arrogant ever will.
Application: Greet even those who despise you. Show grace to those who can do nothing for you. The seeds of kindness grow silently but fruitfully.

5. Master Emotional Discipline.

Wisdom: He who angers you, controls you. Emotions are natural, but they make terrible masters.
Application: Practice the pause. When emotions flare, pause, breathe, reflect, then respond with reason, not rage.

6. Keep Your Plans Private.

Wisdom: Success loves silence. The unborn idea is safest in the womb of your discretion.
Application: Share your victories, not your strategies. Let your results speak; let your silence confuse your critics.

7. Resist Self-Centered Conversations.

Wisdom: People care more about themselves than your story. If you wish to be memorable, make them feel important.
Application: Ask about others' journeys, listen intently, and respond thoughtfully. The less you talk about yourself, the more powerful your presence becomes.

8. Maintain Eye Contact & Confidence.

Wisdom: Confidence isn’t loud; it’s calm, direct, and unflinching.
Application: When speaking, fix your eyes on the listener with a relaxed gaze. Let your posture mirror your inner conviction.

9. Celebrate Your Uniqueness.

Wisdom: The world doesn’t reward replicas; it celebrates originals.
Application: Identify your strengths, embrace your flaws, and find your voice. Authenticity magnetizes the right people and repels the wrong ones.

10. Commit Fully or Don’t Begin.

Wisdom: Half-heartedness is the graveyard of greatness.
Application: Before starting, ask yourself, Will I finish this? Am I ready to sacrifice for it? If not, preserve your energy for a pursuit worthy of your all.

11. Silence is the Best Answer to H@ters.

Wisdom: Not every insult demands your defense.
Application: Treat criticism as a mirror. If it’s true, adjust. If it’s false, ignore. Do not dignify pettiness with a reply.

12. Train Your Mind to Think Critically.

Wisdom: The difference between mediocrity and mastery lies in perspective.
Application: Before believing anything, ask Why? and What if? Seek patterns, motives, and consequences in everything.

13. Avoid the Crowd Mentality.

Wisdom: The majority is often wrong, history proves it.
Application: Stand for truth, even if it means standing alone. Be bold enough to disagree respectfully when the crowd chants foolishness.

14. Dodge Drama & Manipulation.

Wisdom: A wise man never enters a battle where no prize exists.
Application: Don’t react to bait. Avoid circles where chaos is currency. Value your peace above fleeting vindication.

15. Ask Thoughtful, Insightful Questions.

Wisdom: Questions open doors answers cannot reach.
Application: When in conversation, ask ‘why’, ‘what led to that’, ‘how did you feel about it’ — it deepens connections and sharpens your wisdom.

16. Guard Your Time & Availability.

Wisdom: Over-availability breeds entitlement and disrespect.
Application: Be selectively accessible. Value your solitude, your time to reflect, learn, and recharge.

17. Stay Dynamic, Not Stagnant.

Wisdom: Change is the only constant. Evolve, or you’ll dissolve.
Application: Learn a new skill every season. Challenge your routines. Travel through books, ideas, and places. Comfort zones are graveyards.

18. Accept That Enigmatic People Are Both Loved and H@ted.

Wisdom: Mystery invites curiosity and criticism. The price of distinction is isolation from mediocrity.
Application: Don’t water yourself down for public comfort. Be kind, be wise, but never shrink to fit anyone’s fragile insecurities.

Final Thought:

A happy, smart, and wise life isn’t accidental — it’s intentional. It’s built through daily choices, disciplined thoughts, guarded emotions, and bold actions. The one who masters himself controls his world.

DON'T MARRY FOR LOVE, IT'S A SCAM, YOU WILL LOOSE

If You Marry for Love—You Are A Loser.

Marriage is not romance. It’s a strategic investment.

Let’s stop deceiving ourselves.

Love is not enough.

Romance won’t sustain you.

And marriage built on feelings will collapse under pressure.

Because marriage isn’t an emotional experiment.

It’s a power move.

1. Feelings Fade—Structure Stays

You’re happy today. Great.

But what happens when money gets tight?

What happens when you lose your job?

What happens when she wakes up and says, “I’m not in love anymore”?

If your marriage was built on butterflies, expect it to collapse once the wind changes.

Love is a spark. But marriage needs fuel.

Vision. Structure. Alignment. Sacrifice. Strategy.

2. If You’re 70 and You Marry 30—Your Household Is 50

Let’s talk logic.

You’re wise. She’s fresh.

But instead of raising your stock, she drops the average.

You’re thinking legacy—she’s thinking TikTok.

You’re building wealth—she’s building “influencer reels.”

(She’s not even ready to build it into a media business.)

You’ve seen war—she’s crying because you forgot to comment on her new selfie.

And now you’re stuck in a marriage that drags you backward.

Because you married vibes—not vision.

3. Marriage Is a Merger—Not a Movie

When two become one, it’s not about hugs and kisses.

It’s about merging empires. Consolidating influence.

Combining assets. Multiplying momentum.

Even the Bible said:

“One will chase a thousand, two will chase ten thousand.”

But what if the “two” is a liability?

What if she’s chasing dopamine instead of purpose?

What if she’s more obsessed with matching pajamas than matching values?

Now, you’re running with dead weight.

Fighting alone. Providing alone. Planning alone.

And she’s somewhere saying,
“I don’t like forcing things.”

4. Modern Girls Don’t Grind—They Ghost

Let’s be real.

Many modern women want:

• Love with no labor
• Comfort with no contribution
• Leadership with no loyalty

She wants a soft life—but won’t lift a finger.

She’s jobless, but has high taste.

She’s broke, but her demands come in six figures.

She says you’re stressing her mental health—because you asked about her career goals.

Try to build with her, and she’ll say,
“This isn’t flowing naturally. I need space.”

5.Her Submission Is a “Maybe”

Her obligations are “Optional”

Today’s woman wants:

• To reply when she feels like
• To submit if the vibe is right
• To bear children only when convenient
• To pause the relationship if she’s “not in the mood”

Any hint of hardship, she’s gone.

Any serious talk, she’s “emotionally unavailable.”

Any call for accountability, she’s “being controlled.”

And if you dare lead with firmness?

She’ll tell Twitter you’re a narcissist.

6. Dysfunction Is the New Normal

Many modern girls were raised in chaos.

Divorced parents. Absent fathers.

Traumatized mothers.

And instead of healing, they brought that chaos into dating.

So when you show up with purpose and structure?

She calls it “too much.”

She wants a soft man who’s strong.

A rich man who’s humble.

A loyal man who doesn’t ask questions.

She wants everything—but gives almost nothing.

So Here’s the Brutal Truth:

Marriage is a system.

If you don’t build it with strategy, it will collapse in drama.

Stop marrying for butterflies.

Start marrying for alignment.

For values. For vision.

Pick a partner who multiplies your purpose—not one who multiplies your pain.

Because at the end of the day…

It’s not who makes your heart skip.

It’s who helps you finish the race.

Marry wisely.

Remember—when it finally comes to a divorce, obligations are enforceable by law, but no one can compel her to keep loving you and riding your joystick that’s insisting she’s the best rider it has ever seen.

Speak with wisdom in the comments, I will like to have your opinions.
