I saw a funny video where Sir Damilola jokingly narrated how he told his mom to stop calling their dad "Bro Mike" and try something more affectionate like "sweetheart." His mom, Mummy Gloria, playfully tried to adjust, calling out "sweetheart" in the next room where Daddy Mike was present. However, he didn't respond until she said "Bro Mike," and then he answered "yes." The video ended with everyone laughing. On a related note, episode 3 of CORPERS' LODGE is now available on Damilola Mike Bamiloye's You>Tube chan>nel.

*AKSG Cautions Sterling Oil to Revert to Lawful Land Allotment or Face Sanctions*

The Akwa Ibom State Government has issued a stern warning to Sterling Oil Exploration Company following violations of terms of land grant and unlawful encroachment beyond its legally assigned portion in Eastern Obolo and surrounding communities in the State.

In a strongly worded letter dated Friday, April 4, 2025, and signed by the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Uko Udom, SAN, the State Government expressed deep displeasure over the company’s illegal operations and disregard for regulatory provisions.

The letter mandated Sterling Oil to, within seven (7) days, submit all documentation relating to its land acquisitions and Right of Way approvals in Akwa Ibom State to the Office of the Attorney General. The company is also directed to immediately restore all blocked canals and waterways, and to desist from any future interference with natural water channels.

Furthermore, Sterling Oil is required to produce a certified copy of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) report that was submitted in pursuit of regulatory approvals for its operations.

The Government emphasized that these measures do not preclude further enforcement actions.

It reaffirmed its commitment to protecting citizens and host communities affected by the company’s activities and upholding the legal frameworks guiding the Oil and Gas Free Zone under which Sterling Global operates.

While reiterating its pro-business stance, the Government warned that corporate interests must not override the rights, welfare, and ecological integrity of Akwa Ibom communities.

The State remains resolute in ensuring that all operators within its territory strictly adhere to the rule of law and sustainable development practices.

GOVERNOR ENO DECLARES OPEN STATE EXCO RETREAT IN LAGOS

…reiterates zero tolerance on excuses

Governor Umo Eno says the Akwa Ibom State Executive Council retreat currently taking place in Lagos, is meant to further distill the culture of deliverables and deepen respect for boundaries as his administration works to relentlessly drive its vision of economic growth and wellbeing, peace and prosperity for the people of the State.

Declaring open the retreat at the Eko Hotel and Suites, Lagos, Governor Eno said the retreat is expected to have participants, fully reinvigorated, equipped, refreshed and challenged for the tasks ahead.

“We have assembled a great team of speakers drawn from diverse backgrounds and I know we are going to have a great and exciting time.

“Even though this is essentially an EXCO Retreat, we have, however, brought in all our Delivery Team
Members and stakeholders, to reinforce our commitment in ensuring timely delivery of our projects.

“We were here, last in 2023, shortly after our inauguration, where we had distilled the foundational principles of the Arise Agenda with the then EXCO members.

“It’s good to note that a number of the members of the last EXCO have been reappointed and thus are deeply conversant with our culture of deliverables.

The Governor who appreciated resource persons, particularly, Tony Blair Institute, for accepting to share their knowledge and expertise.

He reminded the new Executive Council members, that “the fact that you are here, means you completely understand our propelling impulse which essentially is that we are running against time.”

He maintained that time was of essence, “given the number of very audacious projects, are determined to execute and complete within the next two years of our first term.”

Emphasizing the need for teamwork and unity, Governor Eno maintained that if he were to suggest a theme for the retreat, it would be “Teaming for Greater Success”, and called for synergy, collaboration, loyalty and commitment to recording results.

Pastor Eno spoke glowingly on his Arise agenda, saying that it has been articulated and translated into implementable layers, maintaining that having “taken acute and deep ownership of the vision”, the exco members are the agents to relentlessly drive the vision to completion.

He reminded them that Akwa Ibom people will not tolerate excuses, hence his decision to appoint a renowned technocrat as his Chief Delivery Adviser and Executive Assistant.

Governor Eno used the forum to again clarify that the State Delivery Advisors have their responsibilities clearly spelt out, which is to supervise some of the major projects billed for completion within the next 24 months.

“They have the institutional memory and knowledge of these projects, and we have simply asked them to complete what they had started and deliver them to specifications and on time.

“The Honourable Commissioners have new projects that we are initiating and are expected to follow-through on those projects to completion”, he said.

The retreat, expected to last four days had on the first day Tuulia Pitkanem, a senior adviser in the Tony Blair Institute, and a former Chief of Staff to the Prime Minister of Finland, who spoke on ways of translating the Governor’s Address into Policy Interventions.

Others who spoke on Day One, include Mr Emem Bob who spoke on the Budget Presentation and Fiscal Outlook, as well as Government Communication and Reputation Management presented by Mr Aniekan Umanah.

Iran has once again ruled out any direct negotiations with the #UnitedStates over its nuclear program, insisting that all discussions must go through mediators.

Foreign Minister Abbas #Araghchi made Tehran’s stance clear, stating, “we are in favor of the diplomatic path and negotiations, but via mediators. Of course, it should be emphasized that not a single round of such talks has been held yet.”

The statement follows threats from US President Donald #Trump, who warned Iran of bombings if it rejects his "nuclear deal." In response, Araghchi firmly rejected the idea of Iran following the model imposed on Libya in 2003, when Libya abandoned its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) program in exchange for sanctions relief, only to later be invaded and see its leader killed.

"The US can only dream" of such an outcome with #Iran, he affirmed.

I read a post where a lady asked women“what’s your greatest regret in life” and most of the comments said MARRIAGE.

Someone commented on the post, asking why people marry the wrong person, here are some reasons;

1. Pressure; most people just get married because of family pressure.
A family where everyone is directly and indirectly pushing them to marry.

They keep reminding you of your age and making reference to your friends or cousins that are married.

Additionally , some ladies also pressure themselves, they marry because their friends are all married, they are so desperate to get the “Mrs” title and they may settle for just marry anyone.

2. Money; some women from poor backgrounds are often intentional to marry a rich man. This can make them to settle for any man as long as he is rich. They would rather cry in a rich man’s house than to suffer with any man.

3. Pity; There are people who have married men they never love just out of pity: they don’t want to look like a bad person, especially if they have dated for long.

4. Low self esteem; there are women who settle with someone they are aware that he won’t treat them well because they feel they will never find someone better or someone who loves them.

5. Fear of the unknown; the fear of “what if I didn’t get to meet another person”.

Some women might settle for the available person even when they are not happy with their choice, just to avoid the fear of loneliness.

6. Family foundation; some women come from homes where the women rarely experience peaceful marriages. it’s just like a pattern that seems to follow the women.

7. Change; humans are prone to change: some women got married to men who seem amazing only to be faced with an unexpected change in the marriage on the long run.

8. Ignoring red flags; some women are so eager to settle down that they ignore warning signs, believing they can be able to change him.

To mention but a few….

Happy and healthy marriage is achievable, while some people regret their marriages, there are people sincerely enjoying their marriages.

I’m not talking about those who mask their truth online. I am talking about those who are genuinely happy.

A healthy marriage is achievable. know what you want, write it down, and make it bold and clear.

Choose the right person for yourself,( Someone you are compatible with, someone you can tolerate, someone you have same vision with) and involve God in your decision.

Make the right choice, and if things change tomorrow, you will have peace knowing it was not always that way.

My prayer is that God will align you with the right person and make your home peaceful, Amen!

Who Was Melchizedek in the Bible?

Melchizedek is one of the most fascinating figures in the Bible, captivating readers with his sudden and mysterious appearance. He is mentioned in Genesis 14:18–20 as the "Priest of God Most High," who blesses Abraham and receives a gift from him. After this pivotal moment, Melchizedek seemingly vanishes from the narrative, with no details provided about his lineage, parents, marriage, or descendants. This absence of background invites readers to ponder his identity and significance. Is there any other character in the Bible who parallels him in mystery and role?

In Genesis 14:18, Melchizedek is also identified as the "King of Salem." This title raises intriguing questions: What does "Salem" refer to? Is it a physical location, or does it carry a deeper, symbolic meaning? Let’s delve into the word "Salem" to better understand its implications.

The Meaning of "Salem"

The term "Salem" (שָׁלֵם) is rich with meaning, often translated as "peace" or "complete" in Hebrew. Linguistically, it connects to the latter part of "Jerusalem" (יְרוּשָׁלַיִם, Yerushalayim). Interestingly, the Arabic word for peace, "Salam," bears a closer phonetic resemblance to "Salem" than modern Hebrew’s "Shalom," despite both originating from the same Semitic linguistic family. Could this similarity suggest that Arabic has preserved aspects of the ancient pronunciation of certain Semitic terms? This is a possibility worth considering.

In Psalm 76:2 (or 76:3 in Hebrew), we read, "His tent is in Salem, His dwelling place in Zion." This poetic parallel strongly indicates that "Salem" is synonymous with Zion, which is another name for Jerusalem. Additionally, Jewish historian Josephus explicitly equates Salem with Jerusalem in his writings, and the Septuagint (an ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) supports this connection. Thus, "Salem" likely refers both to a historical and physical place—Jerusalem—and also to a broader, symbolic concept.

Titles of Melchizedek: King of Righteousness and King of Salem

Melchizedek’s titles are deeply symbolic, carrying profound theological implications:

1. King of Righteousness: The name "Melchizedek" (מַלְכִּי־צֶדֶק) is derived from two Hebrew words:

* Melek (מֶלֶךְ): "King."
* Tzedek (צֶדֶק): "Righteousness."

Together, his name translates to "King of Righteousness," reflecting a role akin to that of a priest who reminds people of God’s commandments and righteousness.

2. King of Salem (Peace): Beyond referring to a location, this title signifies kingship over the concept of peace itself. Melchizedek is thus portrayed as a ruler who embodies and ushers in peace.

These dual titles unite the roles of priesthood (teaching righteousness) and kingship (governing with peace), emphasizing the harmonious relationship between righteousness and peace. This connection is beautifully expressed in Psalm 85:10: "Righteousness and peace kiss each other."

Foreshadowing of Jesus

The New Testament draws several parallels between Melchizedek and Jesus, suggesting that Melchizedek serves as a typological foreshadowing of Christ. Let us explore a few significant connections:

1. Priest and King: Like Melchizedek, Jesus is both priest and king. Hebrews 5:6 identifies Jesus as "a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek," echoing Psalm 110:4, which refers to the Messiah in the same terms. Jesus fulfills the dual roles of teaching righteousness and bringing peace, as seen in His earthly ministry.

2. Jesus as the King of Righteousness: In His teachings, Jesus emphasized righteousness, perfecting and upholding God’s commandments. As a spiritual guide, He leads humanity toward righteous living, and a life pleasing to God.

3. Jesus as the King of Salem (Peace): Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on a donkey (Matthew 21:1–11) symbolizes His kingship over peace (Salem) while also highlighting His humility.

Furthermore, Isaiah 9:6 calls the Messiah the "Prince of Peace," reinforcing the connection between Jesus and Salem.

4. Meeting Abraham: In John 8:56, Jesus declares, "Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad." Could Jesus’ statement refer to the encounter between Abraham and Melchizedek, hinting at an earlier appearance of Christ?

Melchizedek and the Concept of Peace

Righteousness and peace are deeply intertwined in both theology and human experience. The Hebrew word for Salem, "שָׁלֵם," also conveys the idea of wholeness and completeness. This connection highlights an essential truth: living righteously according to God’s commandments brings inner peace and harmony. Jesus exemplified this principle, teaching His followers to seek God’s kingdom and righteousness as the path to true peace.

Conclusion

Melchizedek’s brief yet profound role in Scripture continues to inspire theological reflection. His titles as King of Righteousness and King of Salem find their ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ, who embodies both roles perfectly. As Melchizedek pointed to the union of righteousness and peace, so Jesus teaches us to seek God’s righteousness and live according to it, enabling us to arrive at the City of Peace in our lives, the city of Jerusalem (Salem), wherever we are in the world.

Shalom, Salam, Peace be with you all!
