Last week, our spiritual Daddy, Enoch Adejare Adeboye, aka Daddy G. O., General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) turned an octogenarian; precisely on Wednesday, March 2, 2022. Let somebody shout halleluyah! To mark the event, a lot of activities were lined up, mostly aimed at winning souls. Winning eighty million souls was the target, a million souls for each of the years it has pleased God to let our Daddy live so far on Mother Earth. Special evangelism teams were set up everywhere there was an RCCG church to engage in house-to-house, one-on-one personal evangelism; crusades…
When it comes to the story of humanity, beauty and dignity, courage and compassion, diligence and perseverance constitute the central theme. And none of God’s creations embodies all of these more than a Woman. Today, the world pays a huge price for not according her the deserved place in the scheme of arrangements. Human happiness is circumscribed, progress is delayed and growth is gravely stunted when women are, willfully or inadvertently, denied seats at the table, sentenced to poverty or kept in captivity. It bears repeating: the McKenzie Institute’s report that 26% of today’s global GDP, about 24 trillion dollars,…
US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham's recent remarks on Russian President Vladimir Putin indicate some US politicians, especially the far right from the Republican Party, tend to have a kind of latent Nazism and terrorism. The White House on Friday distanced itself from Graham's rhetoric on Putin. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said at a press briefing, "That is not the position of the US government and certainly not a statement you'd hear come from the mouth of anybody in this administration." In an interview with Fox News on Thursday, Graham said he hopes someone in Russia will understand that…
As we said here last week, both the 1st and 2nd world wars had remote and immediate causes, and the epicentre of the wars was Europe before other parts of the world gradually got sucked into the vortex. The causes of the wars were European in nature - so also the dramatis personae. The issues in dispute were historically, culturally, politically, economically, and militarily European. Other nations sucked into the wars, Africans inclusive, only carried the can for Europe! In the unfolding Ukraine/Russia war, the theatre of war remains Europe; the major actors remain European; the major issues in contention…
God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him ~ Psalms 67:7. Introduction: No matter the level of glory you have attained in life, there are still many vacancies ahead of you. This is not a letdown but an assurance that promotion is still possible for you. For as long as the earth lasts, no matter what, you should never condone any level-identity syndrome in your destiny. God takes special delight in the continuous progress and the wholistic prosperity of His people (Deuteronomy 1:5-8; Psalms 35:27; 3 John 1:2). Besides, our prosperity is a major…
I told God in Lagos that I needed a car. He told someone in Port Harcourt to send me his car. The Lord told him: “Femi Aribisala needs your car in Lagos. I want you to send it to him.” That is how I became the owner of a Toyota Rav 4. Nevertheless, when someone asked me, I maintained that a car is not a blessing of God. That is not a contradiction. That is wisdom. Solomon says: “The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.” (Proverbs 10:22). A car can add sorrow.…
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has revived many questions about nuclear deterrence. Whatever the outcome of what could be a long war, the issues it has raised will not go away. In 1994, Ukraine surrendered the nuclear weapons it had inherited from the Soviet Union in return for security guarantees from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia. But those guarantees turned out to be worthless, and because Ukraine is not a member of NATO, it is not covered by the extended deterrence of the US nuclear umbrella. What about the former Soviet republics that have joined NATO? Would US…
War is messy and never fails to spread responsive misery. When Adolf Hitler asked for safe passage to East Prussia through the Polish corridor and also for the occupied port of Danzig, not many could have imagined that it would spiral into a world war that would cost 85 million lives and leave an unspeakable trail of devastation in its wake. More than one million Africans died. They were not in Danzig, Berlin or London. They had no idea what Hitler’s request was or why Britain refused to listen to him. They were enlisted for the war by force from…

Obasanjo and his cabal - Dare Babarinsa

On Saturday, March 5, 2022, Olusegun Obasanjo would mark his official 85th birthday. Despite his age, Obasanjo is not about to slow down. Since he returned to public life after he joined politics in 1998, he has embraced life at a frenetic pace. Indeed, after his birthday celebration on Saturday, he may already be billed to travel to several countries, troubleshooting, providing solutions to myriad problems, sharing his experience and insights with statesmen across the globe. I don’t know whether there is another old man on the planet who is busier than Obasanjo, Africa’s best-known elder-statesman, Nigeria’s longest ruler and…
"Sir, I want to walk away from my marriage now before something tragic happens. I had wanted to quit February 2021 but people mounted pressure on me to stay back. They said I should try and pray more saying the situation was not beyond remedy. I agreed not because I hope that anything positive would ensue but just to satisfy those who intervened. More so I didn’t want to portray myself as being rigid or as having a hidden plan for my action. Now it is one year after but the situation has rather gone from bad to worse. Because…
