ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER. [ A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja Nigeria. ] { VOL. 2. NO 70. 14-12-14.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You Free! (John.8:32). THE ELECTORATE SHOULD GET WISER IN 2015 – NIGERIANS HAVE BEEN SHORT-CHANGED FOR TOO LONG! A culture that entrenches the rule of law, punishes impunity at all levelsofgovernance, embraces integrity and addresses potential causes of unethical behaviour in the society, is perhaps the best culture of ensuring sanity and peace in the business of politics! *The unfolding insecurity and theatres of war in most developing countries of the world, point in one direction that those who aspired to govern have woefully failed to keep covenant with the people in all areas of political economic and social contracts! *On their upward flight of aspiration into the political saddles of office, blueprints of manifestoes and ideologies are defended with passion to convince the electorate with a view of capturing their votes. Every democracy promises a State based on the principles of fundamental human rights and social justice. They always say that sovereignty belongs to the people (not GOD), from whom government derives all its powers and authority and that the SECURITY AND WELFARE of the people shall be the primary purpose of government! *But in spite of the massive advancement of information and technology of the 21st Century, almost all developing nations of the world have become under-developed and are in bondage of insecurity, poverty, diseases, malnutrition, hunger, strife and WAR which is ravaging the Middle East, North Africa, the entire African Continent, the Far East and Latin American countries! *NIGERIA, the most populous black African nation of over 170million citizens, has in 54years of “independence”, become one of the poorest, most under-developed and most corrupt nation of the world in spite of all economic tales of having attained the highest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in Africa and adjudged the 26 most-economically-viable country of the world! * Most of the Nigerian politicians in government since 1999-2014, do not believe in the BENEVOLENCE of the Almighty and Sovereign GOD and that is why the nation now faces an austere instead of a buoyant economic atmosphere! “When Ngozi Iwealla championed the GDP propaganda, we told Nigerians that she was only justifying her pay packets and the truth is now open to the illiterate villagers through Divine intervention! *The truth is that Nigeria is a PRODIGAL nation which counts and devours its chickens, before they were hatched! *The unfolding acts of financial recklessness in the payment of salaries and allowances to political appointees, the award of contracts and the flagrant abuse of the appropriation of the FISCAL processes according to constitutional provisions as opposed to what obtains at the weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meetings, where BILLIONS OF NAIRA WORTH OF CONTRACTS WERE REGULARLY AWARDED BY THE PRESIDENT AND HIS CABINET, in spite of all hues and cries against the illegality are issues in contention! *Oil Blocks were awarded to the accomplices of those in government since 1999 to date and in spite of Nigeria’s state of poverty, SOME NIGERIANS ARE RICHER THAN NIGERIA! *ORANSANYE COMMITTEE REPORT on how to curb and eliminate WASTAGES IN GOVERNMENT had long been discarded into the WASTE BIN because it violated the principles of the WASTERS IN THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT! *In the year 2014, the Federal Government of Nigeria in a bid to COVER-UP its prodigality declared that the country’s economy was on TRACK, but in this same year GOD brought down the MONO-PRODUCT CRUDE OIL ECONOMY ON ITS KNEES through the GLOBAL CRASH IN OIL PRICES that turned the GDP CLAIM INTO A PACK OF BLATANT LIES! *We watched on television how the Finance Minister tried unconvincingly, in spite of her academic laurels, to prove that Nigeria’s economy would remain stable if the OIL PRICE DROPPED TO $25 US dollars per barrel! *HOW DOES SHE PLAN TO ACHIEVE SUCH STABILITY? (1). She plans to suggest retrenchment of workers; but the LABOUR FORCE is already aware of that move and are ready to resist. (2). She plans to intimidate Mr. President to totally remove “SUBSIDY” FROM ALL PETROLEUM PRODUCTS, even though global markets forces should have brought the present pump price of N.97.00 Naira of PETROL, down to between N40.00 and N35.00! (3). Ngozi plans to continue to pay the jumbo salaries and allowances of the Federal Cabinet, Ministries Departments and Agencies, [MDAs], from whatever was left of the illegal “EXCESS CRUDE ACCOUNT,” which has been depleted through the insistence of “powerful” State Governors, who never bothered to boost their INTERNALLY GENERATED REVENUES (IGRs)! (4). She also says that government would increase tax payments and enforce the tax compliant attitude of the RICH AND WEALTHY CITIZEN, who are the worst tax evaders in all developing nations, to cushion the effect of the austere period for as long as it would last! *The Naira is already devalued from N155 to N168,as against one American dollar, not by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), as they want you to believe, but by the International Monetary Fund, (IMF), a subsidiary of the World Bank, which God used to debunk Ngozi’s theory of Nigeria’s buoyant GDP and a “stable” Nigerian economy! *The effects of devaluation is already biting the same poor masses from whom all the labour that produces the nation’s wealth are procured as they now pay more for goods and services without any increase in their incomes! *Nigerians need to have a better understanding of the attitude of the present ruling political class which runs counter to the purposive plans of God, who says to His children: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you…. thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”[Jeremiah.29:11]. *The 2015 Budget Estimate of N4.74trillion, which is part of Federal Government’s Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper [MTEF & FSP], covering 2014, 2015 and 2016 fiscal periods, has not seen the light of the day as at 14 December, 2014, because all of the micro-economic frameworks that would have indicated, fiscal targets, estimates, revenues and expenditure including government’s financial obligations, even in the medium term, have fallen like a pack of cards on a sinking sand! *We are in this predicament because some of the present custodians of Nigeria’s COMMON WEALTH since 1999, swore to an oath to outwit the MILITARY, (who robbed the nation with the barrels of guns, for about 30 years), in the embezzlement agenda with brazen IMPUNITY and have, this time around, have adopted the CAPITALIST STRATEGY, which allows for unbridled accumulation of wealth, instead of a SOCIALIST approach, which would have developed the nascent democratic experiment in favour of the masses! *COMMUNIST/SOCIALIST CHINA is today regarded as the largest global economy outside of the United States of America, because this most populous world nation DOES NOT CONDONE IMPUNITY IN ANY FORM! On Wednesday 10 December, 2014, a Chinese judge jailed for life, the ministerial-level former deputy Head of the National Development and Reform COMMISSION (NDRC), over a bribery scandal that exposed graft at its highest levels of China’s Government! *LIU TIENAN (60), who was charged with his son, Liu Decheng, for obtaining bribes to the tune of 35.6million Yuan($5.74million US dollars), from various companies, was the first ministerial-level official to face an investigation after XI JIMPING, became Communist Party Head in late 2012, when he launched a most aggressive anti-graft campaign China had seen in decades! * Xi Jimping described corrupt officials and their cronies in government as high-ranking “tigers” and low-ranking “flies”, in a pervasive problem, which he said could threaten the Chinese Communist Party Rule. * Most political analysts believe that Xi’s campaign against corruption was geared towards removing his opponents while others said it was necessary to weed out all impediments standing in the way of his implementation of Economic Reforms! *In our editorial opinion, we believe that the fight against corruption with impunity must be fought and won by the determined Head and Management Team of any serious administration which vows to protect the overall interests of the poor masses! * The lesson to be learnt here is that the accused official did not waste the time of the court because he pleaded guilty to extensive bribery involvement, broke down in tears of a very painful state of remorse and said, “Every inquiry and every word has, in fact been like a whip beating my soul!” *We need GOD to raise Leaders like XI JIMPING in this nation to come with CLEAN HANDS UNTO EQUITY in 2015 and clear out all the LIU TIENANS of the AUGEAN STABLES OF NIGERIA INTO THE PRISONS FOR LIFE! *While CHINA is still busy, launching series of probes into the ENERGY SECTOR that has brought down senior officials in the NATIONAL ENERGY ADMINISTRATION AND THE STATE-OWNED, CHINA NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, the Nigerian ruling class is busy gathering together PARTY EX-CONVICTS, and all who are on trial for various offences ranging from bribery, corruption, embezzlement of government funds, money launderers, to crude oil and petroleum subsidy thieves, including “ex-militants” who are still threatening the unity of this nation and an ex- minister whose 42-count criminal charges of stealing was reduced to TWO, to continue the looting in 2015; but this plot would not materialize in Jesus Christ’s name! Amen. *Nigeria’s crude oil corruption has become a jig-saw puzzle that baffles all right – thinking citizens because the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission [EFCC] and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Matters Commission, [ICPC], which should at least regularly investigate the industry, were deliberately and financially muzzled by government and turned into TOOTHLESS BULLDOGS! * The incumbent Minister of Petroleum Resources, Dizeani Allison Madueke, was alleged to have spent N20billion naira within a three-year period to charter aircraft for “official duties”, but has refused summons by the House of Representatives, to confirm or deny but has instead gone to court to stop the House from probing the allegations! *There is also a pending probe set up by the Finance Minister to unravel the missing $20billion US dollars crude oil sales which was allegedly unremitted into the Federation Account by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, [NNPC], between March-June, 2014 and no government official has been sanctioned! *All of the above FACTS are published for the ELECTORATE’S assessment of a government that wants to continue in office at all cost… these FACTS are indisputable and incontestable! Your vote is your power to send other “criminals”, hiding under the leaking umbrella out of government into the prisons where they actually belong! *THE IMPENDING JUDGEMENT IS BEYOND Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) 15-year –old government influence or PDP JUDGES VERDICTS: this JUDGMENT is that of the Almighty and Sovereign GOD who cannot be bribed, intimidated or harassed by HOODED security and secret agents of this wicked administration! *There was a Biblical JEHU, ( 11 King of Israel, 2Kings.9:1-10:36), whom God anointed to destroy all the corruption and idolatry in ISRAEL during a time of apostasy that had over the years characterized the nation which then became odious and abominable before God and among the comity of nations – just like Nigeria! *This is the biblical account of JEHU’S mission as God’s reformer to the land of Israel: “Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I have anointed thee King over the people of the LORD, even over Israel. “And thou shalt smite the house of A’hab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the LORD at the hand of Jez’e-bel. “For the house of A’hab shall perish: and I will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel. “And I will make the house of A’hab like the house of Jer-o-bo’am the son of Nebat and like the house of Ba’a-sha the son of A-hi’jah. “And the dogs shall eat Jez’e-bel in the portion of Jez’re-el, and there shall be none to bury her.”[2Kings.9: 6b -10]. *The GOD whom these corrupt Nigerian politicians despise is THE ONE WHO SENT JEHU TO CLEANSE ISRAEL AT THE APPOINTED TIME! *He is set to send another JEHU – this time around to NIGERIA! He that has an ear, let him hear what the SPIRIT IS TELLING THE CHURCH! 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.
