• Governor Monday Okpebolo's statement declaring Mr. Peter Obi persona non grata in Edo State is as disgraceful as it is undemocratic.

    Edo State is a Nigerian State. Peter Obi is a free citizen and does not need the Governor's clearance to visit Nigerians in their own country.

    The Governor's statement betrays deep insecurity. When a Governor panics over courtesy visits and modest donations, it is a clear sign that something is deeply wrong somewhere.

    Leaders who have served the people well will not be bothered when others receive applause. Perhaps, the people celebrating PO are simply reminding the Edo State Governor the kind of leader he should be.

  • THE ARUGBA: THE VIRGIN WHO CARRIES THE SACRED KEG IN KEGITES CLUB

    In the mystical rhythm of African tradition and Kegites heritage, the Arugba stands as a powerful symbol of purity, spiritual continuity, and ancestral connection. Traditionally, among the Yoruba people, the Arugba is the virgin girl who carries the sacred calabash during the Osun-Osogbo festival, believed to be the vessel through which spiritual offerings are transported to the gods.

    In the Kegites Club, a socio-cultural organization deeply rooted in Afro-consciousness, traditional symbolism and the protection, preservation, and promotion of African Cultural heritage, this sacred role is adapted and preserved in a unique and respectful way through the Arugba who carries the Sacred Keg of Office.

    In Kegites philosophy, the Keg is not just a container for pouring palm wine; it is the soul of the club, representing unity, tradition, spiritual bonding, ancestral knowledge, and the authority and existence of an Ilya. The Keg is carried not just physically but also symbolically, it is a burden of trust, purity, and cultural duty passed on from one generation to another.

    The Arugba in Kegites is often portrayed as a young maiden selected to carry the Sacred Keg of Office during procession at major functions in which the Keg would appear, like Mass Transformation, World Gyration, and Coronation ceremonies. She is not just a carrier of the Keg of Office but a living embodiment of honor, purity, and sacred trust. She is seen as a vessel of ancestral invocation, a guardian of the club's moral fabric, and a symbol of cultural fertility and spiritual direction.

    Just like in the traditional Yoruba rites, the Arugba’s purity or moral uprightness is symbolic of spiritual cleanliness. She must not just be pure in body, but also pure in heart, speech, and intention. This is not to idolize virginity for its own sake, but to elevate the importance of responsibility, discipline, and sacred trust within the club.

    The Arugba carries not just a physical Keg, but also the weight of tradition and cultural preservation. The weight sometimes becomes too much and it’s usually evident on her from her left to right sway during procession. Her role is a bridge between past and future, ancestors and descendants, spirit and society. She walks in silence, with grace, dignity, and focus reminding every comrad of the sacredness of their identity and duty to culture!

    In the Kegites Club, the Arugba is tasked with leading processions during solemn time. She is treated with respect, awe, and spiritual reverence not as an object but as an honored channel of ancestral blessings!

    The role of the Arugba also celebrates African womanhood , not in a reductive or patriarchal sense, but in a way that honors the role of women as spiritual bearers, nurturers of tradition, and guardians of moral strength. In the Kegites Club, the Arugba is protected, celebrated, and viewed with reverence for the sacred role that she plays.

  • I HAD 423 NEW CONVERTS FROM MY PERSONAL OUTREACH LAST WEEK EXCLUDING CHILDREN.

    THE THINGS I TEACH ARE THE THINGS I DO AND THEY ARE WORKING FOR ME.

    THOSE WHO CLAIM NOT TO HAVE TIME TO ATTEND FELLOWSHIP DON'T GENUINELY LOVE GOD.

    GIVING IS A PROOF OF THE SINCERITY OF OUR LOVE FOR GOD.

    - Bishop David Oyedepo on UNVEILING THE BREAKTHROUGH POWER OF LOVE (2A) at Covenant Day Of Marital Breakthrough Service || 13th July 2025 || Faith Tabernacle, Canaanland|| First Sunday Service || Part E

    Now, “he that walks with the wise shall be wise”; when you are a soul winner, you are in Jesus’ company - He is walking with you. Proverbs 13:20. The more you are in love, the wiser you become. Mark 16:20. So when you are in love with Jesus, you are out on the go for Him, you are walking with Him and you will get wiser by the day. Church Gist. All soul winners here know that your utterance keeps scaling up as you go from place to place because of the wisdom of God that's flowing through that companion (relationship).

    We were in a place yesterday, we saw 80 adults gave their life to Christ. Well for your information by the grace of God, I had 423 souls this week and that's with about 60 or more extra to those adults. Church Gist. The things I teach are the things I do and you can see it's working for me. It's working. Yesterday, I attended to people from various countries that came just for a touch.

    - My prayer is that this season will mark the dawning of a new day in your walk with God in the name of Jesus!
    - May each one get wiser by the day as we keep demonstrating our love for Jesus in all areas of our lives in Jesus name!

    What Are Some of The Proofs of True Love?
    1. If we love Him, we will remain committed to reaching out to the lost (we have said a bit of that). Psalm 119:46, Jeremiah 20:9.

    2. If we are in love with God, we will be committed naturally to fellowship. You are not struggling; you are naturally committed to fellowship. “I don't have time” - it's not part of your deal. You are eager to be in His presence and behold His face. Psalm 84:1-2...that’s what happens when you are in love with God. Church Gist. You are naturally addicted to fellowship. Naturally! You are not struggling, it flows out of you. You want to be there. You are not going there to meet people, you are going there to meet God.

    “Wherever two or three are gathered together, there am I in their midst.” So when you are in love with Him, being with Him becomes a joy. You are eager, you want to be there. Church Gist. David said, “I was glad when they said to me, come, let us go to the House of the Lord.” I'm sure his protocol officers are the ones responsible: “your majesty, it's time for fellowship - gentlemen, I'm gone.” Psalm 122:1. Every true lover craves to be in His presence. Psalm 84:2.

    One day, I was challenged. I had some weakness in my body long before I was called to ministry and I said, “if I can only get to fellowship, this thing will clear.” So I waggled my way to be there and they said, “Brother David, you are leading the prayer tonight.” And in our time, leading prayer is not this 5 minutes you go and come back; you stand there. Church Gist. It was an all-night prayer. Jesus healed me, operated on me; I was going home after that, I was hearing cracking sound. My bones were falling into place.

    Fellowship is not meeting with Brother John, Brother Joseph; fellowship is meeting with Jesus. Don't play with it. When you were on the other side, when the herbalist tells you to come by 1a.m, you go there. They say, “you mustn't talk to anybody, you mustn't tell your wife when you are leaving home.” You obey all his instructions to go and meet the devil. Church Gist. Hebrews 10:25...it becomes of much more importance as we are heading for the end time where the wicked shall do more wickedly.

    - Somebody's story is changing!

    It's a vital proof of being in love with Jesus. You are in love with fellowship. Church Gist. It stirs you up and you are there always for an encounter with Jesus.

    Examples of Love Made Breakthrough Personalities In Scriptures

    1. Esther. Esther took her life in her hand to approach the King uninvited. Now, by the law of the Land that equals death except the King points the golden sceptre to that individual. Love for God which translated to love for His people gave Esther her place in destiny. Church Gist. “If I perish, I perish” - she exclaimed. Esther 4:16, And by Esther 7:1-10, God visited and Esther 8:1-7, judgement concluded; all Jews were set free not one died. But the one calculating their death had to be hung.

    2. David. David, a man after God's own heart, was a tireless giver to prove the sincerity of his love. 1 Chronicles 29:3. Church Gist. He was such a tireless giver and giving is a proof of the sincerity of our love for God. God so loved the World, He gave.

    - Everyone that is involved in advancing the Kingdom of God with their God given resources, you will never know dryness in your life!

    It's the way it works all of the time. It was passion that drove him to Goliath. “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the army of the living God?” Church Gist. That was what drove him, not reward - not for reward and he brought him down.

    3. Paul the Apostle was all out for Christ and the Gospel to prove His love for God. He grew to become a giant among the Apostles and the effect is all over. Church Gist. He wrote about half of the New Testament. Unusual access to light!

    - In the precious name of Jesus, the giant in you will not go to the grave with you!
    - Your love for God will cause that giant in you to come alive in the name of Jesus Christ!

  • Why Muslims do not use coffins to bury their dead

    Have you ever wondered why most Muslims are not buried in coffins? If you have ever attended a Muslim funeral, you might have noticed that the dead is usually wrapped in a white cloth and buried directly in the ground without a coffin.

    This is unlike many parts of the world where coffins are considered a standard part of burial. In case you are wondering, this practice is deeply rooted in religious teachings and cultural values that emphasize simplicity, humility, and a return to nature. Here’s a little more insight;

    1. It’s linked to Prophet Muhammad

    Burying the dead without a coffin in Islam is a practice that follows the example set by Prophet Muhammad. It is said that after his death, the Prophet was wrapped in a simple white cloth (known as a kafan) and buried directly in the ground without a coffin.

    His companions continued this practice, and it has remained the standard in Islamic tradition to this day.

    2. It signifies simplicity and equality in death
    One of the core principles in Islamic burial is the idea of equality. Death is seen as the great equalizer, where rich and poor, powerful and powerless, all return to their Creator in the same way.

    To reflect this, the body is wrapped in a plain white shroud which is usually three pieces for men and five for women. This is accompanied with no fancy clothing or jewelry. By avoiding the use of ornate coffins, Muslims ensure that burial remains humble and modest, regardless of a person’s status in life.

    3. It signifies returning to the earth naturally

    The Qur’an emphasizes the natural cycle of life and death. A verse in Surah Taha (20:55) states: “From the earth We created you, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you forth once more.”

    Being buried directly in the soil allows the body to decompose naturally and return to the earth, fulfilling this spiritual concept.

    Many Muslims believe that placing the body in a coffin interferes with this process and creates an unnecessary barrier between the deceased and the earth.

    4. Exceptions and legal considerations

    While the major practice is burying without a coffin, there are some exceptions in certain regions, including parts of Nigeria and Western countries.

    Local laws, the condition of the burial site or health regulations may require the use of a coffin or burial vault.

    In such cases, Muslims still strive to follow religious guidelines such as wrapping the body in a shroud and laying it in the coffin in a way that respects Islamic customs.

    In conclusion, avoiding coffins in Islam is a part of a broader commitment to modesty, equality, and a return to the earth in the most natural and humble way. It’s a reminder that in death, just as in life, simplicity holds great significance.

  • Dear Parents,

    There are things that parents do that makes me wonder if they know the implications. In my teaching career, I've come to realize that children who are well brought up produce better results.

    What I see these days is training the "butty" (aje butter) way which gets me scared of what will happen in the next 10-15 years.

    I see eight year olds who don't bother to lay their beds.

    I see 10 year olds served by the maid or "caring mum" on the table and they either don't pack the table or they just dump the plates in the kitchen for the maid or "caring mum".

    Drivers carry the bags of
    children above 5 years and the children call them "my driver".

    Manual cloth washing is
    gradually been replaced by
    washing machines yet the maid or "caring mum" will be the one to do the laundry.

    Children wake up and go straight to the TV and sleep late watching TV with mum and dad but mum and dad don't allow them read late.
    They'll say "go and sleep".

    I see parents play game for
    hours on their phones yet
    wonder why their children don't read and why their results are poor despite investment in expensive schools.

    I see tweenagers and teenagers who can't cook common white rice because there's maid, nanny, cook, "caring mum" etc.

    I see children who are addicted to cheating in exams, assignments, class work and the parents aren't taking conscious steps to correct it, instead some will bribe teachers to make their children first, teach them during external exams or take them to "miracle centres" to write their exams.

    I see children who talk to their parents and other adults disrespectfully and all parents say is "children of nowadays are outspoken".

    Your children's wardrobe is full of clothes but they don't have a single book.

    You buy them lots of toys but you didn't buy them books.

    I can go on and on.

    See, when next you tell your
    child not to do house chores,
    study hard, etc, have it at the back of your mind that what you're saying is "don't take responsibility for your life".

    I guess parents don't know that chores and morals are almost directly proportional to academic performance.

    Haven't you thought of it that when our forefathers went to farm, fetched water, etc, before or after school, the world was a better place?

    Haven't you thought of it that our local proverbs which have remained relevant were coined by unlettered men and women?

    A Hausa proverb says, "Ka so naka, duniya ta 'ki shi..." favour your son and the world will reject him..." (vice-versa).

    A Yoruba proverb also says, "eni a nwo ki wooran"... "those who make news don't watch news".

    So when you're mentoring your children to be T.V. addicts you should understand what you're
    grooming them to be.

    There are TWO PAINS in life and everyone must suffer one; *PAIN OF DISCIPLINE* or *PAIN OF REGRET*.

    When you're preventing your
    children from going through *pain of discipline*, just understand that you're automatically preparing them for *pain of regret*.

    Some parents feel that their
    children's careers are secured because of their financial stand.

    Now, let's do this analysis:
    1. You get your children a job.

    2. You make them take over your company.

    3. You set up a business for
    them.

    1. If you get them a job and they have the wrong attitude at work like being late, talking rudely to clients, etc, which made the company lose a big contract, will they keep them there?

    2. They take over your company and your company lost within three months an amount that you didn't make in your first five years in business due to their lack of discipline, will you pat them on the head and say I'm proud of you child?

    3. They run the business shabbily and there's nothing to show for it within few years.

    The earlier we stopped these
    pampering the better. You will give an account to God for them.

    Train your child in the way he
    should go and when he is old, he won't depart from it.

Some parents feel that their children's careers are secured because of their financial stand. Now, let's do this analysis: 1. You get your children a job. 2. You make them take over your company. 3. You set up a business for them. 1. If you get them a job and they have the wrong attitude at work like being late, talking rudely to clients, etc, which made the company lose a big contract, will they keep them there? 2. They take over your company and your company lost within three months an amount that you didn't make in your first five years in business due to their lack of discipline, will you pat them on the head and say I'm proud of you child? 3. They run the business shabbily and there's nothing to show for it within few years. The earlier we stopped these pampering the better. You will give an account to God for them. Train your child in the way he should go and when he is old, he won't depart from it.

    *Akara and Pap was breakfast served every morning in a hostel of 100 people.*

    *Out of the 100, 80 didn’t like it. They complained daily, saying they were tired and wanted something different.*
    *But the remaining 20 were satisfied. They liked it just as it was.*

    *To solve the issue, the warden introduced a simple rule: Every night, everyone would vote for what they wanted to eat the next morning. The meal with the highest number of votes would be served.*

    *So every night, the 20 who loved Akara and Pap voted for it—with one voice.*
    *But the 80 who didn’t like it were never united. Their votes went in different directions:*

    18 *for Bread and Tea*

    16 *for Yam and Egg Sauce*

    14 *for Jollof Rice*

    12 *for Spaghetti*

    10 *for Indomie*

    10 *for Moi Moi and Pap*

    *Can u guess what the result was every single time?*
    *Akara and Pap kept winning, Not because it was the best, but because the people who didn’t want it were too divided to agree on anything else.*

    *In Nigeria, many are tired of the same old hardship, bad* *governance and recycled leadership.*
    *We know who and what the real problems are.*
    *But even those who want change are divided—along tribal lines, party names, personal interest, ego and ambition.*

    *2027 might seem far away, but it's already around the corner. If we don’t learn from this story, we will wake up again to another bitter round of the same “meal” we’ve been served for ages.*

    *The World Bank has already projected that poverty in Nigeria will keep rising until 2027.*
    *That’s not just a statistic—it’s a warning.*
    *And the sad truth is this: If we miss 2027, it'll only get worse.*

    *This Is a Salient Message*
    *THERE'S POWER IN UNITY, NOT JUST IN NUMBERS.*

    *A United Minority Is More Formidable Than A Divided Majority.*

    *Think About It.*
