“SIX STATES MUST BE CARVED OUT OF ABUJA TO BALANCE THE EQUATION!”

The National Conference [three-volume report], submitted to Nigeria’s President on Thursday, 21^st August, 2014, is incomplete! Delegates failed to recommend the creation of SIX States out of the existing Federal Capital Territory [FCT] of ABUJA!

Although, FCT, is not headed by an elected Governor but a Minister appointed by the president, it enjoys the privilege of administering SIX of the country’s 774 Local Government Areas; namely, ABAJI, AMAC (Abuja Municipal Area Council), BWARI, GWAGWALADA, KUJE, and KWALI.

Chapter VIII, Section 299 (a), states that provisions of the 1999 Constitution shall apply to the FCT, Abuja, as if it were one of the States of the Federation, in that all the legislative, executive and judicial powers vested in the House of Assembly, the Governor of a State and in the courts of a state shall, respectively, vest in the National Assembly, the President of the Federation and in the courts which by virtue of those provisions are courts established for the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

In other words, if 19 States could be created out of the existing 36, “likewise, SIX new ones can be created from the Federal Capital Territory”!  WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER!

These Local Council Areas [LCA’s] are very viable and are rich in natural mineral deposits of MARBLE, TIN, CLAY, MICA, TANTALITE and when the MONTHLY “FEEDING BOTTLE” FEDERAL ALLOCATIONS IS ADDED, THEY WOULD ALL FUNCTION CREDITABLY AS STATES IN NO TIME!   

In the just submitted report, delegates suggested the creation of ONE additional (automatic State), for South East Geo-political Zone, to make up for their ‘short-fall’, (presently, the zone has five States, while others have six each). In addition, EIGHTEEN new States are to be created to bring the total number of States to FIFTY-FOUR instead of a round figure of SIXTY STATES, for the whole country!

The Federal Capital Territory’s Architectural MASTER’s PLAN was not designed from the onset to accommodate the poor and the needy, the hewers of the wood and the drawers of the water; neither was it contemplated by our modern neo-colonial “Masters”, that the ‘dregs of the society’ would ever dream of dwelling  in the exclusive habitation the “high and mighty, the rich and the opulent”!

At the last count, 13, (thirteen Ministers) have administered the FCT between 3^rd February 1976 to date, a total of 38 years and a little over six months; but there was one “very distinguished Quantity Surveyor”, between 17^th July, 2003 and 27^th July, 2007, who was determined to enforce the letters of the “MASTER’s PLAN through demolition of “illegal” houses of the poor masses to create more landed properties for his cronies.

For FOUR consecutive years, the demolition expert could not be restricted, not even by COURT ORDERS; from Abaji to Amac; Bwari to Gwagwalada; Kuje to Kwali; he destroyed lives and properties unabated because many of his victims committed suicide!

 At the end of his inglorious exit from office, it was revealed that he re-possessed and also shared most of the “reclaimed lands” with wives, relatives, peer groups and even with his employer! Although, cases instituted against him are still in court, we are not optimistic of their outcome!    

CLASS SEGREGATION in Nigeria was bequeathed by the British colonial masters. In those days before independence, the District Officers [DO’s], residences/offices were segregated to HILL TOPS, while citizens dwelt in the valleys and suburbs to portray class distinction between masters and servants – though the “masters” were foreigners in the land!

Today, the segregation legacy is still in force – with the Government Reserved Areas [GRA] on one side and the SLUMS AND GHETTOS on the other!

Leading the pack is FCT, home of Abuja and capital of Nigeria, which was carved out in 1976 from parts of Nasarawa, Niger and Kogi States, to occupy the central region of the nation on a land mass of 7.315 sq.km, for both political and sentimental reasons!

Abuja has been developed to the taste of the ELITES of the society and remains their exclusive preserve.

The small buses and motor-bikes of the poor have been banned from the CENTRAL BUSINESS/RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS and each time (which is very frequent), a Very Important Personality [VIP], was visiting Abuja, all satellite towns are LOCKED-DOWN; ie. the peasants were disallowed to enter into the elites city!

The twin Boko Haram bombs that exploded in February 2014, at Nyanyan, a suburb of AMAC, have further compounded the plight of peasants who ventured to visit the neo-colonialists sector of the capital city, because they now have to spend at least five hours instead of 30 minutes to pass through the myriad of military check points to reach their destination!

While we have no quarrel with the adequate security checks put in place by the Federal Government, we believe that the precious work hours that are lost daily could be economically utilized, when workers remain in their own domain and serve their State Governments!

Up to date, all peasants have performed functions of Local governments by appropriating their meagre incomes to dig wells for ‘portable’ water, generating sets for electricity power, private schools for their children’s education, motor bikes for transportation, agricultural products for food sustenance of their families and community-assisted rural road construction for transporting farm products to the cities; etc.!

More than ever, it has now become imperative that the ELITES AND PEASANTS in the FCT must part company to avoid a conflict of interests! As the existing SIX LOCAL COUNCIL AREAS transform into NEW STATES, the Master civil servants will now have to administer the over 150 Ministries, Departments and Agencies [MDG’s] all by themselves; -  because all former servants, security guards, gardeners and house helps would be gone – to jostle for political positions/ appointments in the new FCT States!

The Federal Civil Service [FCS], boasts of about two million personnel, most of who dwell as peasants in the Satellite Communities. Definitely, FCS would lose over 1.5millon of its work-population to the New States, since the MDA’s would neither move offices nor forgo their COMFORT ZONES to satellite towns

At this juncture, the most appropriate step to take as the CONVENER AND SPONSOR OF THE JUST CONCLUDED NATIONAL CONFERENCE , is for Mr. President to set up another MINI FEDERAL CONFERENCE, to inject his own contributions in respect of the controversial RESOURCE CONTROL AND DEVOLUTION OF POWER ISSUSES, which polarized former ‘distinguished Conference delegates’, also the urgent need of additional SIX STATES for the FTC and forward copies of the over 1000-page documents, to the National Assembly [NASS] which has the FINAL AUTHORITY on Constitutional Amendments and not, National Council of States [NCS] or a REFERENDUM!

While we await an Executive move before the close of this administration on 29^th May, 2015, we advise that all eligible voters should register and collect Permanent Voters Cards [PVC’s], to avoid disenfranchisement in all impending elections!

We have on good authority that the Voters Registration of 20-25 August, 2014, in 11 States and FCT, actually took place at over-crowded Ward Levels instead of designated Polling Centres. As at the time of this publication, it was hue and cry among the people as eligible voters could not access registration and attributed the whole exercise to a deliberate, calculated and well-designed plan to disenfranchise them! We do hope that the non-partisan Independent National Electoral Commission [INEC], would re-adjust the system to accommodate everyone at the polling centres.

We rejoice that the official conclusion and closing ceremony of the ‘famous’ 2014 National Conference on 21^st August, has now afforded the requisite passport for the long-awaited declaration of intent and endorsement for a second term in respect of , “a job well-executed”!

Unfortunately, the processes leading to States creation is very cumbersome and cannot be influenced by Mr. President, in view of the  under listed 1999 Constitution stipulations under Chapter I, Part II, 8-(1), (a-d):

*An Act of the National Assembly for the purpose of creating a new State shall only be passed if:

(a) a request, supported by at least two-thirds majority of members (representing the area demanding the creation of the new State) in each of the following –

(i) the Senate and the House of Representatives,

(ii) the House of Assembly in respect of the area, and

(iii) the local government councils in respect of the area, is received by the National Assembly;

(b) a proposal for the creation of the State is thereafter approved in a referendum by at least two-thirds majority of the people of the area where the demand for creation of the State originated;

(c) the result of the referendum is then approved by a simple majority of  all the States of the Federation supported by a simple majority of members of the Houses of Assembly; and

(d) the proposal is approved by a resolution passed by two-thirds majority of members of each House of the National Assembly.

The Word of God states: “Unless the LORD builds the house, its builders labour in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchmen stand guard in vain. In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat – for He grants sleep to those He loves”[Psalm.127:1-2].

The National Conference had come and gone like the others before it! Self aggrandizement, greed, avarice have all played out as over N7Billion Nigerian Naira exchanged hands in the struggle for their share of the NATIONAL CAKE! Delegates pushed the painful issues of Boko Haram insurgency and the over 250 Chibok girls in the terrorists detention for over 130 days, into the background! Where is the light at the end of the tunnel? Those at the helm of affairs want to rule forever, by hook or crook because they do not believe in the partnership of GOD OF CREATION – the only ONE who can guarantee human success!

Thirty-four of the present 36 States of Nigeria cannot claim to be BETTER THAN ABUJA SATELLITE TOWNS IN RESPECT OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUTURES AND NATURAL RESOURCES, WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE MONTHLY FEDERAL ALLOCATIONS!

Since States creation is the rave of the moment, we suggest that all 774 Local Governments, (including IKENNE, the home town of Late Chief Obafemi Awolowo) should all metamorphose into States, to satisfy political greed and ambitions! Nigeria has always come first among the comity of nations in negative conceptualization!

 If you have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, don’t miss this great opportunity as you pray this prayer:      

Lord Jesus; I confess that I am a sinner who needs to be saved through the grace of the New Testament of your Blood, shed on the Cross at Calvary; I renounce every sin in my life and accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive me and write my name in the Book of Life. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer, you have been admitted into the family of sons and daughters of God, who are born-again. Congratulations.  Please look forward to more divine revelation in the next edition of Zion B-BC Newsletter as you share this with friends and remain blessed in the Lord.

BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!  REMOVE THE INTIMIDATING MASKED MEN FROM OUR STREETS!

Hooded Aliens!

 Hooded Aliens from outer space have landed…                                                                       An Unidentified Flying Object (UFO), is on our shore;

In the market place, the other day,

The Masked Goons were sighted;

Some were at an elite august occasion,

Closely protecting one particular ‘First Lady’;

Others took over from the Road Safety Corps;

 Peering at passenger vehicles in broad daylight,

Sending cold shivers into human spines;

Our Traditional Masquerades (“from the spirit world”),                                          Are known to be very friendly;

Even, LAGBAJA, (internationally-acclaim musician), “is a cool guy;”

These Masked Ones are different-very intimidating, very unfriendly!                         They are definitely not our KITHS AND KINS;                                                                              But, the last time we checked, they were the UMPIRES…..                                       AT THE JUST CONCLUDED OSUN STATE GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION!                                                                                                 

 

*Once upon a time, in January 2012, when government’s “petroleum subsidy” was partially removed as New Year’s “Greek Gift”, to Nigerians, the immediate reaction was a spontaneous public protest which resulted in loss of several human lives – mostly youths who voted massively for the politicians!

However, Mr. President, “graciously” promised to appropriate part of the “saved money” from subsidy, to create annual employment opportunity of 50.000 slots to compensate the Nigerian youths!

*Subsequently, the SURE-P [Subsidy Removal Empowerment Programme], was foisted in 2013, and some “recruited youths” surfaced in Lagos State early 2014, (with emblazoned ‘SURE-P. T-SHIRTS’), to handle “traffic duties”! The public outcry that Federal Government’s thugs were being deployed to the State to cause mayhem resulted in their immediate withdrawal only for ARMED HOODED YOUTHS to emerge with similar T-SHIRTS, now with DSS (Department of State Security) inscriptions, in OSUN STATE, on August 9, 2014! WHAT A COINCIDENCE!

*Should the fear of the unknown and the uncertainty of life in Nigeria become a burden and an established pattern of existence?

*Are we not sufficiently traumatised as a people with insurgency/terrorism and its attendant bombing casualties of lives and properties?

*Has Boko Haram terrorists not done enough damage to our NATIONAL PSYCHE, having bombed and terminated over 100.000 innocent lives, for no just cause, in the last five years?

*Without estimating the cost of the destruction of critical infrastructures running into billions of Naira, in the North East of Nigeria and some other States, including Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory [FCT], must we remain in perpetual anguish, and continue to lose our loved ones and companions through self-inflicted disasters, due to inept governance and insensitive leadership policies?

Nigeria’s former President Olusegun Obasanjo, in an open letter of December 11, 2013, addressed to his god-son, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, alleged among other things that the latter had, replicated a “Strike Force”, similar to   that of General Abacha’s inglorious military regime, to silence all oppositions to his ‘second term agenda’ of continuity in office and warned that JONATHAN SHOULD NOT TAKE NIGERIANS FOR GRANTED!

The rumour mill has it that the co-ordinator of Abacha’s Strike Force who has “the ear” of No.1, was sighted in Libya, (a terrorist haven), sometime before Obasanjo’s letter, instead of Saudi Arabia, his disclosed destination, for holy pilgrimage!

Hooded Security Agents in other climes are usually deployed for covert (secret) operations which demanded hidden identities for their protection, especially in cases that involved ‘war’ against drug barons, oil thieves and money launderers, who would stop at nothing to maintain ‘status quo’, in their nefarious and heinous businesses!

Although the spokesperson of Nigeria’s DSS admitted that the outfit was being run with the tax payer funds, she still asserted that, “…nobody can dictate to us how our operatives dress when they go on operations!”

We disagree with this unguarded and reckless statement for the following reasons:

(1) From time immemorial, Nigerians have associated HOODS AND MASKS to armed robbers, assassins, murderers, arsonists and the criminally-minded; not to law-enforcement agents!

(2) Government security agents who had to wear hoods in the past were very discreet, because they never paraded themselves in the public glare with masks!

(3) Why would DSS hide the identities of its men on electioneering duties, if there was no ulterior motive – especially when Mr. President, who DSS spokesperson described as “very lenient”, publicly announced that OSUN STATE would witness the FEDERAL MIGHT on August 9, 2014?

(4) Over 73.000 combined Security Agents were deployed to OSUN STATE, but only DSS operatives were hooded to execute very special operations different from maintaining law and order at the elections!

(5) It is on record that the HOODED ONES actually arrested, detained and harassed some electorates with guns, (purchased with tax payer monies), before, during and after the elections!

(6) If deaths were recorded at OSUN on August 9, 2014, who would have been held responsible?

(7) When confronted with the possibility that the criminal-minded could impersonate the masked DSS operatives, the spokesperson categorically debunked the idea by saying that the “T-SHIRTS were designed with special marks!”

(8) If the Boko Haram insurgents could disguise in Nigerian Army camouflage to abduct over 250 Chibok School girls, can’t they or other miscreants don the “specially-designed T-SHIRTS”, now that there is an official approval for masking DSS operatives?

(9) It is not international best practice for security operatives to appear in public, especially in broad daylight, hooded!

(10) With this development it is now very clear that the root-cause of our national malaise of under-development, socio-economic contract failure, deep-rooted corruption and insecurity, in the last 54 years of independence, is due to MASQUERADE LEADERS BEHIND THE MASKS!

*In mid-April, 2014, HOODED MEN invaded the Eastern part of UKRAINE, the largest country in Europe and World Leaders believe that THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE MASKS ARE THE RUSSIAN DSS!

*Just like what we are now witnessing in Nigeria, the most populous African country, the HOODED MEN, just sprang out from among the population of Eastern Ukraine, set up road blocks all over the cities in that region and spontaneously conducted security checks on human and vehicular traffics!

*Because they were hooded, it was difficult for, even the local security agents to decode their identities until, ‘coup-de-grace’ was accomplished, strategic government buildings overrun and  the territory, “annexed to Russia”, by the hooded pro-Russian rebels!

*United States President, Barak Obama; Germany’s Chancellor, Angel Merkel; Britain’s Prime Minister, David Cameron; France’s President, Francois Hollande; the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation  [NATO], Secretary-General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen and many global dignitaries, have publicly stated their belief that Russian forces are behind the events in Ukraine!

*Consequently, series of economic measures, including European Union [EU] tough trade sanctions, were taken by the United States and its allies against Russia, but, the “deed had been done”! *Ukraine, which maintains the second largest military in Europe-after Russia- was ‘sold out’ and had been at war with the hooded bandits in over four months, with innocent citizens of the Eastern territory, bearing the brunt of economic hardship, deprivation of all fundamental rights and freedom!

*As the war escalated, the hooded insurgents, on Thursday, 17-07-14, allegedly shot down, a Malaysian Boeing Airline, Flight MH17, with 298 passengers-including 80 children- passing through Eastern Ukraine air space, and there was no survivor!

* Human casualties of the tragedy-aside the local inhabitants- are as follows:

(1)Dutch, 189; (2)Malaysians, 29;(3)Australian, 27; (4)Indonesians, 12; (5)United Kingdom, 9; (6)Germany, 4; (7)Belgium, 4; (8)Philippines, 3; (9)Canada, 1; (10)New Zealand, 1; (11)Yet to be determined, 4.

*Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Professor Joy Ugwu expressed Nigeria’s full support for an independent international investigation into the disaster, which she described as “a dangerous trend that needs to be checked”!

WE SUGGEST THAT CHARITY SHOULD BEGING AT HOME IN NIGERIA!

HOODING, from the Bible times had been a very dangerous DESIGNER OUTFIT, because it was predicated on deceit!

TAMAR, wife of Judah’s late sons, Er and Onan[Genesis. 38:1-10, tricked Judah with a HOOD, into fathering children, when he refused her his third son, Shelah, for husband, as promised! [Gen.38:11-30].

“She took off her widow’s clothes, covered herself with a VEIL to disguise herself, and then sat down at a road side……when Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute, for she had covered her face…not realizing that she was his daughter-in-law…..gave her his Seal and its cord, and his Staff as pledge, to sleep with her! She subsequently got pregnant and bore him twin boys through INCEST!” [verses 14-30].

Tamar DONNED THE HOOD as a deceit to avoid eye contact with her father-in-law, just as DSS spokesperson explained that, the OGAS AT THE TOP, (“for the reasons of efficiency”), emphasized that  the “HOODED BOYS”, MUST not have “eye contact with close relations, even fathers and mothers,” during covert operations! 

*The fire of deceit through HOODING of security agents has been kindled by those in government at the threshold of the 2015 General Elections, but we will not believe that the HOODED ONES in our midst are THUGS or MERCENARIES, like those of Ukraine!

*Ex-President, Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo, [OBJ],  rolled out military tanks in 2007 to terrorize Nigerians because of his hidden Third Term Agenda. HE FAILED, BECAUSE GOD OPPOSED HIS PLAN TO CREATE REASONS FOR A NATIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY, WHICH WOULD PERPETUATE HIM IN OFFICE, IN THE EVENT OF THE BREAK-DOWN OF LAW AND ORDER, THROUGH CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE! The people were calmed and comforted by the Holy Spirit in spite of government’s provocations!

With Boko Haram still on the prowl, can Nigeria afford a CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE UPROAR AGAINST GOVERNMENT- SPONSORED MASKED “SECURITY AGENTS?”

The same GOD, Our Creator and of the entire universe, is still on HIS THRONE, AND HE WILL put to shame those who have connived to HOODWINK NIGERIANS WITH THE HOODED HOODLUMS BECAUSE THEY ARE BOUND TO FAIL AT THE 2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS! Amen.

*A Warning to the Masquerade Leaders:

BEWARE: FIRE HAS NO RESPECT FOR THE ONE WHO KINDLED IT!      

If you have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, don’t miss this great opportunity as you pray this prayer:      

Lord Jesus; I confess that I am a sinner who needs to be saved through the grace of the New Testament of your Blood, shed on the Cross at Calvary; I renounce every sin in my life and accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive me and write my name in the Book of Life. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer, you have been admitted into the family of sons and daughters of God, who are born-again. Congratulations.  Please look forward to more divine revelation in the next edition of Zion B-BC Newsletter as you share this with friends and remain blessed in the Lord.

THE MYSTERIOUS AND DEADLY BERMUDA TRIANGLE AND THE DREADED SAMBISA FOREST!

Human families would prefer to accept the reality of losing their loved ones to death, in whatever form, than to remain anguished with that constant reminder that they were MISSING!

 Registers of Missing Persons, in which data of reported cases are recorded, are commonplace with law officers who rarely gave up on investigations for as long as practicable.

One of such register which contains the names of 239 passengers of a Malaysian Aircraft which disappeared from the skies since 8^th March, 2014, is still receiving attention of government authorities in Kuala Lumpur.

Although, in the last 148 days, there was no trace of wreckage, no debris, no single survivor, on land or at sea, Malaysian Deputy Foreign Minister, stressed that government has not declared the plane LOST!

While we really appreciate the enthusiasm and optimism of this highly placed official for exhibiting the nature of human kindness, it must be noted that the search and rescue parties have long concluded that the missing aircraft, “ended its journey in the Indian Ocean, hundreds of kilometres, North West of the Australian City of Perth”!

Not minding, the lacuna between both sides, attention MUST now be focussed on this LAST REPORT of the suspected crash area in the Indian Ocean.

A geographical research of this region of the Earth Ocean reveals a proximity between the “supposedly crash area” and the western part of the North Atlantic portion, where the dreaded BERMUDA TRIANGLE (BTR) is dangerously swirling!

The LAST REPORT deliberately omitted suggestion of a possibility that the missing aircraft might have crashed into BTR, in order to give room for HOPE.

*BTR, occupies a triangle shaped area which covers about 1,140.000square metres, (about 500.000square miles), between the Island of Bermuda, the Coast of Southern Florida and Puerto Rico, where many ships and aircraft are believed to have disappeared in mysterious circumstances!

* This region of the ocean also known as the ‘Devil’s Triangle’, has become associated with maritime disasters, and a sinister reputation traceable to the 15^th Century which made the area uncanny and perilous to early sailors, including outstanding navigator, Christopher Columbus.

* The notoriety of the area intensified in the mid 19^th Century, when a number of reports were made of unexplained disappearances and mysteriously abandoned ships; the earliest in March, 1918, when a United States Vessel, USS Cyclops, vanished into oblivion!

*An incident that consolidated the sinister reputation of BTR, was the disappearance in December 1945, (at the close of World War II), of Flight 19, a Training Squadron of five US. Navy topedo bombers. The squadron left Fort Lauderdale, Florida with 14 crew men and disappeared in the area after radioing a series of distress messages; a seaplane sent in search of the squadron also disappeared!

*Aircraft that have disappeared since this incident include – a DC-3 carrying 27 passengers in 1951.

*Among the ships that have disappeared was a tanker ship – Marine Sulphur Queen- which vanished with 39 men aboard in 1963.

Some speculate that unknown and mysterious forces account for the unexplained disappearances, such as “extra-terrestrials capturing humans for study in the scientific-backed lost continent of ATLANTIS”; gorges that suck objects into other dimensions; and other whimsical ideas. These explanations which are grounded in science, if not in evidence, include oceanic methane gas erupting from ocean sediments and disruptions in geomagnetic lines of flow.

Environmental considerations are also adduced to explain many if not most of the disappearances. Majority of Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes pass through the Bermuda Triangle and in the days prior to improved weather forecasting, these dangerous storms claimed many ships.

However, some naval personnel and coast guards contend that there are no supernatural explanations for disasters at sea but are the combined forces of nature and human fallibility!

The Ocean, will always remain a mysterious place to humans, and when foul weather or poor navigation is involved, it can be a very deadly place!

However, the intriguing nature of Bermuda’s Triangle is the fact that, no evidence – physical or theoretical - of all disappearances till date has ever been recorded!

In 148 days, no minute evidence or clue has surfaced in respect of Malaysian Plane, Flight MH 370, which went missing with 239 passengers between, Kuala Lumpur and Beijin, China, since 8^th March, 2014, and from all indications, all search and rescue personnel have diplomatically given up!

When RMS TITANIC, the “unsinkable”, British passenger liner, laden with 2.205 people and lots of very expensive cargoes, SANK in the North Atlantic Ocean, on 15^th April, 1912, seven hundred and five (705) people, including two dogs, were saved, while 1,500 perished! Nevertheless, 328 corpses were recovered, while the Titanic wreckage was found, slumbered, over two miles, below the ocean surface on the floor of the Atlantic, 73 years later, on September 1, 1985!

HOWEVER, WHILE WE ARE TRUSTING THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE for a miracle of their rescue, some relatives of the MISSING Malaysian plane victims are already smiling to the banks!

Families of the ill fated Flight MH370, have received payments of $50,000 US dollars or 30.000 British Pounds equivalent each, as advance compensation, for the ‘loss of their beloved ones.’ Each family of the 239 missing passengers could claim up to $175.000 US dollars; but full payment would only be made when the issue of the tragedy is declared over or closed!

Malaysia Airlines Insurer – a consortium - led by Germany’s Allianz, is making the payments!

In spite of their callousness and greed, we will remain on our KNEES – believing that concrete evidence, physical or spiritual in respect of the 239 precious souls would be revealed in Jesus Christ’s Name! Amen!

THERE ARE FOUR BIBLICAL DISAPPEARANCES; namely:

(1). ENOCH, disappeared into Heaven, “for God took him”.[Genesis.5:24; compare, Revelation.11:3-11].

(2). ELIJAH, – to Heaven with Chariots and Horses of Fire, in the presence of his servant, Elisha.[2Kings. 2:11-12; compare, Revelation.11:3-12].

(3). JESUS CHRIST, – to Heaven; taken up into the clouds before His disciples. [Acts.1:9-11; compare, 7:44-56].

(4).KORAH, DATHAN and ABIRAM,  disappeared into the PIT OF HELL, when the EARTH opened its belly and swallowed them up for being insolent to GOD![Numbers.16:31-34].

All of the above instances have known destinations unlike Malaysian Flight MH 370, whose 239 passengers simply disappeared into oblivion!

*SAMBISA FOREST OF NIGERIA, HAS ALSO CAUGHT GLOBAL ATTENTION AS A DREADED TERRORIST CAMP OF THE EARTH, WHERE ABDUCTEES ARE FORCED TO DISAPPEAR!

 It took the Joint Task Force [JTF], the first three years of Boko Haram insurgency,(2009-2012), to discover and bombard the notorious hideout of these enemies of State, but surprisingly, these dare-devils were able to survive the heavy onslaught and have converted the Forest into a ‘formidable stronghold’!

How did they quickly regroup in 2013 to fortify the forest which has now become a ‘NO-GO-AREA to the JTF?

*SAMBISA FOREST was initially a game reserve of the colonial period which occupied approximately 600 square kilometres – North East of Bornu, Yobe, Gombe and Bauchi along the Darazo corridor, Jigawa up to some parts of Kano State! The game reserve had wild animals, of the likes of leopards, hyenas, tigers, baboons etc. and decent huts, constructed for tourists’ relaxation, but which over the years, dilapidated and collapsed into disrepair for lack of further interest!

*In 1991, the Bornu State Government incorporated the game reserve into the Chad Basin National Park [CBNP], and both ventures now occupy a total land area of 2,258 square kilometres, because CBNP, also included the Hadejia-Nguru Wetlands in modern day Yobe State!

*In spite of this move, the whole exercise turned out to be a ‘white elephant project’, because the power and water infrastructures collapsed, the animals either died or were poached and weeds took over the entire forest!

*Laudable as government’s intention seemed, what we have today in SAMBISA FOREST is a jungle of wild people of the STONE AGE, which was deliberately carved out by the colonialists to portray underdevelopment instead of civilization!

Imagine if the whole of SAMBISA was architecturally designed and constructed into modern cities like DUBAI, MOMBAI, PARIS even LONDON, would there be a jungle for terrorists to hide? When there is no hiding place, insurgents find it very difficult to operate because they would be sandwiched within the populace and be caught!

This Evil Forest, where the over 200 Chibok School girls are believed to be incarcerated, spreads to Kano State where girl teenagers are now being deployed by the Boko Haram insurgents as suicide bombers! Within the last 7days, four such girls have caused havoc, destroying lives – including theirs – and properties; and leaving behind, tears, sorrow, pain and anguish in their trail!

The imprisoned population of SAMBISA FOREST increases by the day because more abductions have been reported as the JTF is closing in to rout these sworn enemies of Nigeria and put an end to INSURGENCY BY DECEMBER 2014, IF THEY ARE ABLE TO SAVE THE HUMAN SHIELDS, BEFORE FINAL MILITARY ONSLAUGHT AND BOMBARDMENTS!

The Word of God states that the WHEAT has to be separated from the WEEDS before judgement.[Matthew.13:24-30].                      

AS LONG AS THE LIVING GOD REMAINS THE SOVEREIGN LORD OVER ALL CREATION, THIS TERORRISM AGAINST NIGERIA WILL PASS AWAY IN THE NAME OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR, JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH! AMEN.

 If you have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour, don’t miss this great opportunity as you pray this prayer:      

Lord Jesus; I confess that I am a sinner who needs to be saved through the grace of the New Testament of your Blood, shed on the Cross at Calvary; I renounce every sin in my life and accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive me and write my name in the Book of Life. Amen.

If you prayed this prayer, you have been admitted into the family of sons and daughters of God, who are born-again. Congratulations.  Please look forward to more divine revelation in the next edition of Zion B-BC Newsletter as you share this with friends and remain blessed in the Lord.
