There's Long Queue In APC, PDP, Labour That Last For Century - Abioye Lawrence Tosin

   The tirade of Muhammadu Buhari, the immediate past president, in which he claimed that "Nigerian Youths Are Lazy" was analogous to an examiner instructing students on how to pass an exam, and many people ignored it because they did not understand how the process of becoming a leader works. Due to their increased laziness, the younger generation does not have a physical government, political structure, organization, or right-wing groups. This generation does nothing, but they have high expectations of their leaders. I have no regard for any criticism I might receive as a result of this article. However, if you ask any Nigerian, they will inform you of the current number of political parties. The question is: The Rulling All Progressives Congress (APC), People's Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LB), and other parties that are currently in power. I believe that it is a curse to protest in the streets, which typically take precedence when a president is elected. Despi...

Christian Leaders Back Prophet Fufeyin Amidst VeryDarkMan’s Forgery, Lies

  By Unyime Etim, Uyo The Unholy Meddling of VeryDarkMan and NAFDAC: A Threat to Our Faith The recent vicious attacks on Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin and Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry by VeryDarkMan, Mr. Martins Vincent Otse, have left the Christian community reeling in shock and outrage. This relentless barrage of falsehoods and defamation has caused irreparable harm to the reputation of a revered man of God. The FCT High Court's injunctive order restraining VeryDarkMan from posting further defamatory content is a testament to the devastating impact of his actions. But the damage has already been done. Innocent lives have been affected, families torn apart, and the very fabric of our faith threatened. NAFDAC's involvement in this saga is a stark reminder of the dangers of government overreach. How can an agency tasked with regulating food and drugs possibly claim expertise in spiritual matters? Their attempts to discredit Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry's s...
