*TODAY IN HISTORY*

* On this day in 1994, Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale (MKO) Abiola declared himself as Nigeria’s president in what is now known as the Epetedo Declaration. This was a year after the June 12, 1993, which it is now cofirmed he won, was annulled by the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida. Less than 24 hours, he was arrested by the military government led by General Sani Abacha and detained without trial. He remained in custody till July 7, 1998 when he died under suspicious circumstances, just days after Abacha died.

Put all excuses aside and remember this: YOU are capable. – Zig Ziglar

*Compiled by Hon. Osuji George osujis@yahoo

WHY AFRICANS PRAY MORE THAN THE REST OF THE WORLD IS BECAUSE IN AFRICA, GOD DOES THE JOB OF THE GOVERNMENT!

1. ELECTRICITY
AFRICA:
“Oh Lord, let there be light! Even if it’s for 2 hours!”
EUROPE:
“This LED bulb is too yellow, I’m returning it.”
TRUTH:
In Africa, power supply is a prayer point.
In Europe, it’s a basic right.

2. WATER SUPPLY
AFRICA:
“God, let it rain so we can fetch water!”
EUROPE:
“My shower is too cold. Fix it or I sue!”
TRUTH:
In Europe, taps flow.
In Africa, faith flows.

3. JOBS & EMPLOYMENT
AFRICA:
“Jehovah, bless me with any job. Even volunteer, I’ll manage!”
EUROPE:
“I’m rejecting that role. The salary doesn’t reflect my worth.”
TRUTH:
In Africa, unemployment is a fasting topic.
In Europe, it’s a policy issue.

4. SECURITY
AFRICA:
“Father, may no stray bullet locate me today!”
EUROPE:
“There’s a suspicious sound outside, police arrived in 4 mins.”
TRUTH:
There, safety is law.
Here, safety is prayer and luck.

5. ROADS & INFRASTRUCTURE
AFRICA:
“Lord, don’t let this pothole swallow my destiny.”
EUROPE:
“This small crack on the road is unacceptable!”
TRUTH:
In Africa, a smooth road is a testimony.
In Europe, it’s standard.

6. HEALTHCARE
AFRICA:
“Jesus, let the injection work, and not the side effect!”
EUROPE:
“Therapist booked. Medication free. Follow-up scheduled.”
TRUTH:
One gets healthcare from government.
The other gets hope from prayer warriors.

7. EDUCATION
AFRICA:
“God, let WAEC release results with mercy I sowed a seed !”
EUROPE:
“Government paid for my Master’s. I got a scholarship too.”
TRUTH:
There, education is an investment.
Here, it’s a miracle.

8. PENSION & RETIREMENT 👴🏽
AFRICA:
“Jehovah, don’t let my pension be swallowed by corruption!”
EUROPE:
“I retired. Government sends monthly check.”
REALITY:
Here, retirement is fear and fasting.
There, it’s relaxation and benefits.

9. VISA REQUEST
AFRICA:
“Oh Lord, break every generational curse stopping this UK visa!”
EUROPE:
“I need a break. Might fly to Ghana for the weekend.”
REALITY:
In Africa, travelling = fasting, faith, and fire oil.
In Europe, travelling = booking.com and a suitcase.

BUT HERE’S THE REAL PROBLEM…

High death rates

Joblessness

Poor security

Land battles turning spiritual

Sick people dying at church crusades instead of hospitals

…because African leaders ENJOY it when you dump your problems on an imported god instead of holding them accountable!

Why should they build hospitals when you'll run to prayer camps? By his stripes you're healed right?
Why fix the road when your busy praying for travelling mercy on a deadly road?
Why create jobs when your faith says “God will provide”?

They know you won’t protest. You’ll just pray.
And that’s how they win.

AFRICANS WILL RAISE MILLIONS TO BUILD A CATHEDRAL……but won’t donate a dime to upgrade the clinic where their own mothers give birth on rusted beds with no gloves.

We’ll buy:

Imported church instruments

HD projectors

Shiny marble altars

Designer suits for “Papa”

And bulletproof cars for “Daddy G.O”

Meanwhile, the local hospital:

Has no electricity

No running water

One nurse doing the work of five

And a doctor using a torchlight to deliver babies.

AND HERE’S THE PLOT TWIST:
The pastor you’re funding for “God’s work” won’t even treat malaria in that same country.

When he's sick?
Private jet to Europe.
When you're sick?
Pray. Fast. Sow a seed. Hope the hospital has Panadol.

FINAL THOUGHT:
God is NOT your governor.
Angels are NOT civil engineers.
Your miracle is called good governance.

Stop calling on jesus/allah about things your local government chairman should’ve done.

This is why most religious Africans tend to be less or non-religious

Gunmen Kill U.S. Returnee, Abduct Wife in Imo

Gunmen last Sunday evening killed a United States-based returnee, abducting his wife in Umuguma, Owerri West local government area, Imo State.

A source said the deceased, an indigene of Ihiala, Anambra State, and a Nigerian-U.S. soldier, accompanied by his wife and land sellers/agents, had arrived in his Toyota Highlander Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) at a site which he was said to have negotiated to buy, located near the Golden Estate / Abba Father Avenue, Umuguma, Owerri West, Imo State, when the masked armed bandits, suspected to be herdsmen, ambushed them, killing him and abducting his wife. Others escaped with injuries, while the corpse and vehicle were abandoned.

As of the time of filing this report, communication was yet to be opened on the whereabouts of the woman.

Police spokesperson in the state, Henry Okoye, confirmed the incident, informing that the Commissioner of Police, Aboki Danjuma, had directed the Owerri Area Commander to carry out a comprehensive investigation.

Eyewitnesses said the gunmen had attacked them in the vehicle, leading to the initial resistance and escape of the deceased, stressing that his wife was taken away, but his return was greeted with a bullet in his head, which killed him. After the shooting, they fled into a nearby forest with the woman.

The Guardian learnt that the land agents reported the incident to the police, who later carried the corpse and the vehicle.

Indigenes and residents of Umuguma and neighbouring communities, including Irete, Nekede, Avu, Amakohia-Ubi, Okuku, Ndiegwu, and others, are living in fear following the rising insecurity in the area. Prospective land buyers and other members of the public were also advised by the security agencies to be careful in their dealings and report any suspected abnormal acts to the police for prompt action.

Six Organizations Donate Over $16,500 to Support Burkina Faso’s Defense Efforts

On June 5, 2025, six organizations collectively donated 10,050,000 FCFA (approximately $16,560 USD) to Burkina Faso’s Patriotic Support Fund, aimed at aiding national defense and the Volunteers for the Defense of the Homeland.

The breakdown of contributions included:

Zemstaba Association for Local Development: 1,000,000 FCFA

Jeunesse Engagée pour le Faso: 250,000 FCFA

Burkinabè Association of Midwives and Maïeuticiens: 500,000 FCFA

International Chamber of Real Estate Experts of Burkina: 3,000,000 FCFA

International Assistance "Mother and Child": 300,000 FCFA

Order of Civil Engineers: 5,000,000 FCFA

The funds were formally received by Vieux Abdoul Rachid Soulama, Secretary General at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, with senior government officials in attendance.

All participating groups reiterated their support for President Captain Ibrahim Traoré’s national call and encouraged fellow citizens and institutions to contribute towards strengthening the nation’s security forces and patriotic volunteers.

- The 7th edition of National Tree Day announced for June 21, 2025!!!

The 7th edition of the National Tree Day (NTD) will take place on June 21st, 2025, in Manga (capital of the Central South Region) under the high patronage of @CapitaineIb226.

Its theme is, “Medicinal Plants: A Source of Community Health and Climate Resilience.” This edition, Minister Baro emphasized, will mark a key step in accelerating the battle to strengthen our country's vegetation cover.

It comes, he noted, in a context marked by the return of internally displaced persons to their home communities, hence the imperative, he said, to integrate the issue of population resilience through the nutritional and health benefits of trees into the 2025 reforestation campaign.

This 7th NTD is based on the concepts of “one province, one medicinal grove,”covering at least 2 hectares; “a school, a botanical garden,” for 100 educational institutions; “a green space, a landscaped area”; “the President's time to regreen Faso,” with the planting of 10 million seedlings; “a department/municipality with at least 2 km of row plantings”; a “Pedal for the Tree” cycling race.

Yesterday, I listened to the coordinator of the event and he said that the goal is that, we want at least 5M Burkinabè to plant a tree on June 21st, between 8am-9am, in one hour.

This time, they want everyone to make it his responsibility to care for the plant until it grows and not just planting trees that will be left out without proper maintenance. We want to change the face of the Sahel and it’s doable.

So, within the one hour time, measures are put in place so that those who will plant their trees wherever they are in the four corners of Burkina Faso can report to the local authorities for their names to be recorded in the archives. Moreover, they are encouraged to share their plants on social media to encourage others.

In the long run, we want to be able to recognize all those who will really take care of their trees. So, to all daughters and sons of Burkina Faso, each one of us must have their own tree(s) for a green and prosperous Burkina Faso!!!

These people and the entire RCCG actually believed that Buhari had what it takes to lead Nigeria into a first world.

These people went to school. Many are professors. Some claimed to have direct access to God.

Some are gifted with "prophesies."

They read history. They understood international relations. They understood how societies work or so we thought.

They were more than 20 years old in 1983 when Buhari shot himself to power.

They saw Buhari murder innocent Nigerians in 1983.

They saw Buhari destroy the economy in 1983.

They saw the role Buhari played in Abacha's government.

They read all the threats of violence by Buhari against the nation.

They saw Buhari harass Lam Adesina the Oyo State Governor due to Fulani herdsmen conflicts with locals in Oyo State.

They saw Buhari lead the sharia protest that claimed the lives of innocent Nigerians in 2001.

They saw Buhari and his minions open the gate of hell on innocent Nigerians when he lost the presidential election in 2011.

If Buhari was not speaking and defending his Fulani heritage he would be fighting to defend his religious heritage.

Never for once did he defend Nigeria or gave interview on how to rebuild the economy, education, power, health, etc.

They saw everything this man did. They knew him too well to miss the little details of his violent life.

But they were united in hatred.

Hatred for Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. One among the few Nigeria leaders that actually wanted Nigeria to work.

Hatred became a unifying force to push forward a false narrative.

They exploited his humility.

They exploited his kindness.

They exploited his humanity

They danced and made merry in Ojota. They ate, drank and danced away the destiny of a nation.

Saints Tinubu, Amaechi, Fashola, etc., led the chorus against ‘corrupt’ Goodluck Jonathan.

Tinubu a private jet owner and owner of Lagos, Amaechi a private jet owner and funder of Buhari campaign, Atiku a University owner paid with his civil service allowance etc wanted ‘corrupt’ Goodluck Jonathan out.

But the people did not see the moral paradox because you see - hate is a unifying factor.

They mobilised thugs to stone a sitting President.

They harassed his family wherever they went.

Because they are from the hated minority who must NOT be king.

For Kings must come from the Fulani lineage. Jonathan is Ijaw. Ijaws should not be Kings.

Jonathan must not loot also.

For looters must come from enablers of evil.

These are intellectuals.

Amongst whom are Pastors and Prophets.

Wisdom failed.

Prophesies failed.

WAEC issued a fake WAEC attestation to Buhari.

It is possible many Nigerian "intellectuals" are working with fake certificates.

A nation without conscience is a curse to its people.

We all are standing on the podium of history.

Humanity beckons.

Surely our children will read the roles we played in the salvation or annihilation of humanity.

Why not share for all Nigerians to read!!!

Of the 51,802 deaths, 22,481 were reported on the Western Railway (WR) and 29,321 on the Central Railway (CR), with Kalyan, Thane, Vasai, and Borivli topping in fatalities

With auto-door rakes now being planned, do you think this change is too late?

👍🏻 Yes — This should have been done years ago
👎🏻 No — Better late than never

APC go soon suspend this northern senator

I'm very sure that even if all the 36 states Governors join APC Tinubu will not still been comfortable because he have experience of how Peter Obi defeated him in his ward,local Govt and entire Lagos state without input of any Governor or any politician...

The series of defection is as a result of fear of 2027.
Nothing is 100% certain

*I WAS FALSELY ACCUSED OF BEARING A FIREARM. - Pastor Paul Adefarasin*

During the Service on Sunday at the House on The Rock Headquarters, Pastor Paul Adefarasin addressed the accusations labeled at him for pointing a firearm at a content creator.

While addressing the congregation, he said, “I was falsely accused of pointing a firearm at an aggressive content creator who came within personal distance.” He further clarified, “I do not have a pistol license for a firearm. I do not carry a firearm; I pointed no firearm at anybody.”

He further said that what happened wasn't just a mere attack on a local Church or a pastor. It was an organized strategy of the forces of darkness. He explained that at the root of the incidence was an enticement of the enemy which always point to the love of money. ‘Click baiters are just looking for more money,’ he remarked.

According to him, it wasn't in their Church policy to dignify hate speech or false accusations. “We believe that God is bigger than that” - he stated. He quoted from Romans 12:19 “do not repay evil for evil.”

He also said he was shocked and hurt when people called and sent him different videos. He encouraged himself with the fact that God would always turn what the enemy meant for evil to work out for good.

He further said, people are always at the lookout for a time where one will get a little stumble, trip, fall or falter so they can use it against the person. “You can't be a pastor and not have to deal with that. That's the part of the price we pay” - he stated.

He concluded by saying, “learn something from the process and go forward because the enemy's objective is to stop you from doing what you are called to do.” “We are leaving the matter to God trusting Him to do what needs to be done. On this note, I will lay that matter to rest. Case closed.”
