WILD-WILD, WEST DESCENDANTS ARE NIGERIA'S HATE SPEECH TERRORISTS!

The ugly developments of unwholesome and nauseating hate speeches in respect of the temporary health challenge of President Muhammadu Buhari by some members of the opposition PDP, from the SOUTH WEST GEO-POLITICAL ZONE has brought to the fore, that the failed Party is bent on truncating the 18 years of uninterrupted democracy through a repeat performance of the sad events of the unpatriotic actors who perpetrated the "WILD-WILD WEST" EVIL REGIME BETWEEN 1962 AND 1965! Why would any sane mind wish for a repeat performance of a vicious power tussle that ushered in the very first military coup and which truncated democracy of the First Republic now that the Nigerian nation is being transformed from the global reproach of being the MOST CORRUPT, TO BECOMING AN EXALTED RIGHTEOUS NATION UNDER THE MANAGEMENT TEAM OF THE DIVINELY ANOINTED PRESIDENT BUHARI?
WESTERN REGION, during the period in question witnessed unprecedented wicked display of massive destruction of lives and properties through unrestrained thuggery backed by the very custodians of political powers who should have guaranteed law and order and the protection of the citizens from all forms of aggression!
THE ENTIRE UGLY EPISODE WHICH BEGAN IN 1962 WITH GRASSROOT PERSONALITY CLASHES, HATE SPEECHES, CHARACTER ASSASINATION/ETHNIC CHAUVINISM, WHICH EVENTUALLY CULMINATED IN A TRIBAL WAR, HAS PORTAYED SHIMEI'S HATRED FOR KING DAVID (2 SAMUEL. 16: 5-14), AS CHILD'S PLAY, IN COMPARISON TO THE VENOM OF THESE GENERATION OF VIPERS! (MATTHEW.3:7-10), WHO HAVE SO MALIGNED, REPROACHED AND CONSISTENTLY DISGRACED PRESIDENT BUHARI, SINCE HIS ASSUMPTION OF OFFICE ON 29TH MAY, 2015!

THE HATCHET JOB OF THE FIRST REPUBLIC!
Historical records show that the pre- independence 1959 Parliamentary Elections in which the Northern People’s Congress (NPC), led by Sir Ahmadu Bello, had the highest seats of 148 out of 312, but could not form a Federal Government except through an alliance with another Party, precipitated the genesis of the inordinate ambition among the founding fathers who eventually played into the hands of the Military and opportuned the soldiers to reap where they did not sow for almost 30 years of self-imposed and forceful yoke under the neo-colonial Nigerian Army taskmasters!

The National Council of Nigeria and Cameroons (NCNC), of Eastern Nigeria led by Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe which came second with 89 seats, wasted no time to align with NPC to form the very first Federal Government to the consternation of the Western-based Action Group (AG), under the leadership of Chiefs Obafemi Awolowo and his deputy, Samuel Ladoke Akintola, which came third with 75 seats! In view of that development, Chief Awolowo, became leader of Opposition in the Federal Parliament while his deputy Chief Akintola who took over as Premier generated a crisis which erupted in Western Nigeria as he hatched his own ambition to run the Party through an alliance with Sirs Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa, the first Prime Minister in a new Party which was christened, Nigerian National Alliance (NNA)!

In May 1962, the Action Group broke into two factions in the Federal Parliament and also in the Western House of Assembly where NCNC had, majority members as a result of the squabble between Chiefs Awolowo and Akintola. The rancour  ignited high levels of violence, resulting in the burning down of political opponents and their properties indiscriminately in support of the two gladiators with PETROL, in a vicious criminality code-named, "Operation Wetie", (meaning, wet with petrol and burn); which earned Western Region the appellation of "WILD-WILD WEST"!

The Federal Government of the First Republic did not help matters because, instead of  calling for fresh elections for the Western Electorate to choose their preferred leader, a Sole Administrator was imposed in December of 1962; while in 1963, Chief Awolowo, who still nursed the ambition of becoming Prime Minister, in subsequent elections was arrested with some accomplices for coup plotting and treason, tried and sentenced to 10 years in prison. He was released in 1970 by General Yakubu Gowon, and appointed as the Federal Minister of Finance. During his tenure as Premier of Western Nigeria, Chief Awolowo pursued an ideology of DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM, a policy which encouraged the State's participation in business enterprises; while his deputy, preferred CONSERVATIVE CAPITALISM!
Chief Awolowo made several unsuccessful attempts to become President of Nigeria and in a eulogy at his demise on 9th May, 1987; he was described as the PRESIDENT NIGERIA NEVER HAD!

PDP REPRESENTS THE NIGERIAN NATIONAL ALLIANCE (NNA), OF THE FIRST REPUBLIC!
The embroiled Peoples Democratic Party, of Nigeria's EIGHT REPUBLIC, has at least THREE splinter groups that are desperately scouting for fresh political relevance through confederate parties who would support them to “REGAIN POWER AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL", (just as in the First Republic), by hook or crook at the 2019 General Elections in spite of the fact that they are yet to repair the horrible damages done to Nigeria's economy during their FOUR consecutive tenures (16 years), of massive institutional CORRUPTION, AND BARE-FACED ROBBERY OF THE NATION'S COFFERS!  IS THIS NOT AN IRONY OF LIFE?

BUHARI WAS DIVINELY CHOSEN TO RULE NIGERIA NOW!
From the day the incumbent President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, (GCFR) expressed his FOURTH intention to contest for the number one position on the platform of the mega APC Change Party in 2014, hell was let loose among the 16-year-old PDP looting team that was about to be shown the door!  They threw caution and decorum overboard, unleashed a barrage of abuses, insults, curses, hate speeches and all manner of tantrums, that were not even restricted to verbal utterances but extended to the print and electronic media through paid advertorials by hired mercenary journalists!
But in spite of all the barrages of vendetta, BUHARI WAS VITORIOUS AT THE 2015 PRESIDENTIAL POLLS WITH A LANDSLIDE MARGIN!  Not satisfied with their unholy outbursts, these notorious descendants of the Wild-Wild West terrorists, took advantage of the indisposition of President Buhari following an unexpected health challenge to begin fresh attacks on his personality, private life/previous marriage, without caution or respect for his age and office as the Executive President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria! One of them, a mercenary politician and ex-minister announced the DEMISE of the President and claimed that the over 180 million Nigerian citizens were being governed by a DEAD MAN!
ANOTHER HATE TERRORIST, A SOUTH WEST PDP RENEGADE GOVERNOR, also declared that the President was on a LIFE SUPPORT EQUIPMENT in a London Hospital and that he had ELEVEN photographs to back his claim; but recent developments in respect of government delegation visits, which included SOME PDP GOVERNORS, to President Buhari which have proved beyond all reasonable doubts that PRESIDENT BUHARI IS ALIVE, HAIL AND HEARTY, have turned the tables against these ENEMIES OF THE NIGERIAN STATE AND GOD!
The antecedent of the hate terrorists, who are DESTINED TO PERISH SUDDENLY, has been traced to the Wild-Wild West leading politicians of 1962-1965!

ARE THESE SPOILERS UNTOUCHABLE?
In keeping with his electoral promise, President Buhari has displayed great maturity and statesmanship in the handling of issues concerning his vicious political opponents who have brazenly challenged his authority as the Executive President and Commander-In-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, by allowing the LAW to take its rightful course without interference, let or hindrance - a display of good character combined with diplomacy, which had always afforded him the necessary edge for good governance. THE ATMOSPHERE OF UNHINDERED AND UNCHECKED BRAZENESS IN THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY BY THE LEGISLATORS IN THE LAST TWO YEARS OF FRESH DEMOCRACY IS A GLARING EXAMPLE OF PRESIDENTIAL/EXECUTIVE DIPLOMACY AND NOT WEAKNESS AS SOME MAY THINK WHILE THE ULTIMATE PUNISHMENT FOR THE UNGODLY RESTS WITH THE LORD GOD OF CREATION!

In this physical universe, there are TWO CATEGORIES of people - the GOOD and the BAD! The good people are the law-abiding citizens who fear GOD and dwell peacefully with others within the confines of the rule of law as enshrined in the constitutions of their various countries, without infringing on the fundamental rights of their neighbours. On the other side, are the bad ones - sadists and psychopaths - who take delight in intimidating, hurting, harassing and persecuting peaceful citizens/perceived enemies for inexplicable reasons!

There is also a corresponding divine creation known as THE SPIRIT WORLD - AN INVISIBLE REALM WHERE GOOD AND BAD ANGELS hold sway to influence all events on the EARTH, positively or negatively. (Hebrews.1:14; compare Ephesians. 6:12). Most Nigerian politicians in positions of authority fall into the second category of bad, unrepentant and un-remorseful citizens who relish in all forms of crimes and criminalities which were usually packaged and veiled with institutional impunity - all in the name POLITIKING which is the PORTAL through which the evil machinations of all economic saboteurs, are "GOOGLED" to the detriment of the helpless downtrodden!
In Nigeria, politicking is synonymous with INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION THROUGH PARTY PATRONAGE, BUDGET PADDING, PHANTOM LEGISLATIVE CONSTITUENCIES PROJECTS/DUBIOUS GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS, TREASURY LOOTING, BRAZEN ACQUISITION OF ILLICIT WEALTH THROUGH CRUDE OIL BUNKERING, MONEY LAUNDERING, HATE SPEECHES, DISRESPECT FOR ELDERS, SUPPORT FOR POLITICAL BRIGANDAGE; ETC. During Nigeria's several political crisis which dominated events of the 1960's and eventually culminated in the "Majors Military Coup of 15th January, 1966", grievous, inciting /swelling words, hate speeches and deep-rooted animosity, characterized the gladiators "modus operandi" which led to wanton destruction of lives and properties in the then Western Region of Nigeria and by extension the entire nation in the form of the THREE-YEAR-OLD BIAFRA CIVIL WAR - 1967-1970!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! LET US ALL REJECT A REPEAT of such unpalatable and barbaric experience - not again, not ever! We should trust in the divine healing of our beloved and amiable President Muhammadu Buhari and expect him back in Nigeria soonest. Amen.

THE MAN STEVE ORONSAYE WILL REMAIN A ROLE MODEL FOR DILIGENT CIVIL SERVANTS WORLD WIDE!

ZION B-BC   NEWSLETTER.  

(Looking at Nigeria's Political System From a godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja Nigeria. [VOL. 6. NO 206. 23rd July, 2017.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You   Free! (John.8:32).

THE MAN STEVE ORONSAYE WILL REMAIN A ROLE MODEL FOR DILIGENT CIVIL SERVANTS WORLD WIDE!

The name Stephen Osagiede Oronsaye, (CFR), is one that cannot be easily forgotten amongst retired, recent and serving crop of Nigerian Civil Servants, - especially the PERMANENT SECRETARIES AND DIRECTORS, whose positions were re-designated as NON-PERMANENT through the sweeping reforms under his watch within 17 months as Head of Service of the Federation (HOSF)!
Shortly on assumption of office in June 2009, Steve, as he was fondly addressed, convinced the Chairman of the Federal Civil Service Commission to establish A NEW TENURE POLICY which limited the TERMS of Permanent Secretaries and directors to EIGHT YEARS - a directive which forced NINE Permanent Secretaries and several Directors to retire in October 2009 and many more Directors in January 2010! Before the advent of Oronsaye as the boss, the post of a Permanent Secretary according to its nomenclature, was very secured and PERMANENT until retirement but as soon as the beat changed, newly appointed officers of that cadre were warned that their appointments could be terminated at any point in time for reasons of poor performances, if they failed continuous assessments ratings that were being introduced!

As a well-groomed Chartered Accountant at the age of 45, Steve joined the Federal Ministry of Finance (December,1995), as Director, Special Duties responsible for the merger of the Administrative and Accounting functions of the State House Computerization of processes and procedures of the personnel records, including accounts and access controls for the offices.
In his 15-year stint as a civil servant he served as the Principal Private Secretary to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo,  from 1999, headed the Committee on the Review of Civil Service Rules and Financial Regulations, in 2006, appointed Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Finance, on 20th August, 2008, and Head of Service of the Federation (HOSF), in June 2009. Other patriotic and nationalistic reforms designed to enhance productivity in the Federal Civil Service by Oronsaye include the following: Reassertion of compulsory retirement age for civil servants to remain at 60 years or 35 years of pensionable service - whichever came first, contrary to the clamour for an extension of service to 65 years of age! (November, 2009).

When in August 2009, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), was to sack the Board of Five Banks and publish the list of debtors, Oronsaye directed Permanent Secretaries to prevent Ministries, Departments and Agencies, (MDAs), from either withdrawing funds or closing down accounts in those banks with a view to exposing collusion or complicity on all sides!  In that same month, he announced a major reshuffle where almost half of the permanent secretaries were assigned to new departments three months later.
In November 2009, he directed that TELEVISION SETS be removed from all Civil Service Offices, on the basis that viewing of news or movies during working hours was detrimental to diligence and productivity. In the same month, Oronsaye began the initiative in respect of wage increases for Federal Civil Servants with late President, Umar Yar'Adua and in December, 2009, he announced plans to train 4,600 civil servants by March 2010 to prepare them for the higher challenges that would accompany the new trend of reforms and the new Tenure Policy for permanent secretaries and directors! Steve Oronsaye was appointed by ex-President Ebele Jonathan as Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Financial Action Task Force (PCFATF), to rationalize Federal Government! organisations in order to reduce wastages through duplication of MDAs and Federal appointments.

THE STEVE ORONSAYE PANEL REPORT.
No patriotic Nigerian would have expected anything less than the idealistic, comprehensive, cogent, pungent, informative and precise proposal by the Chairman of PCFATF and his team, that at least a total of 102 Agencies, - including the EFCC and ICPC, should be EITHER MERGED, SCRAPPED, COMMERCIALIZED, SELF SUSTAINED OR SELF-FUNDING!
For instance, three Aviation Agencies were recommended for merger:
1. Nigerian Airspace Management Agency;
2. Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority; and
3. Nigerian Meteorological Agency, were to fuse into one body to be christened, Federal Civil Aviation Authority while their respective enabling laws would be amended accordingly to reflect the merger.
Other forms of duplication of ministries include but not limited to the Police Service Commission and the Ministry of Police Affairs, (the present administration has scrapped); and Ministry of Transport and Ministry of Aviation, (which has also been merged by the APC Government), in line with Oronsaye Committee recommendations although the Agencies under the Aviation are still operating separately and duplicating efforts since the report was submitted to the Jonathan's Administration since the year 2013-2014 because it is envisaged that about 7.500 various cadre of Aviation personnel  might lose their jobs! It is believed that the Nigerian Airspace Management Authority alone enjoys the services of 253 Assistant Managers on its pay roll!
It cannot be disputed that all the appointments and the activities of Steve Oransaye were merited because they were based on diligence, uprightness, persistence and the fear of GOD, yet he was believed to have stepped on some "powerful toes" that wanted "his pound of flesh" as it is strongly believed that the EFCC Cases against him had the COLOURATION OF PERSONAL VENDETTA!

ORONSAYE'S ORDEALS!
One of the major recommendations as Chairman of the PCFATF, following his retirement on 16th November, 2010, having attained the statutory age of 60 years, was the MERGER OF EFCC WITH OTHER ANTI- GRAFT AGENCIES IN THE COUNTRY in order to severe the organisation from further USURPING AND MIS-USING the funds of the heavily-internationally financed Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU),  under its watch, in compliance with international graft and anti-money laundering agencies, pact!
EFCC did not waste time to arraign Oronsanye to court on a two-count charge before it was later change to seven as he was alleged to have used his position as Chairman of PCFATF between 2013 and 2014, to convert the sum of N190 million naira, belonging to the Committee to his personal use. In the amended charge, the ex-HOSF was accused of criminal breach of trust involving allegations that between 2013 and 2015, he diverted the total sum of N 382.9 million naira, belonging to the Committee to his personal use. EFCC also alleged that he sourced the sum of N 382.9 million from the CBN and the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), in the name of PCFATF and deposited same in a secret account with ACCESS BANK PLC  without the knowledge of other members of the Committee. It was also alleged by EFCC that Oronsaye invested the money at 9% interest rate in the said secret account which he allegedly opened and operated unilaterally as the sole signatory, unknown to other Committee members adding that the only account known to all members was the one kept with ZENITH BANK PLC.

STEVE ORONSAYE IS VINDICATED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION!
It is written: "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD, delivereth him out of them all." (Psalm 34:19). In a very sound judgment delivered by a Federal Capital Territory (FCT), High Court Judge, Justice Olasumbo Goodluck, held that the EFCC failed to establish a prima facie criminal case against STEVE OSAIGEDE ORONSAYE, THE DEFENDANT following a no-case submission which he made through his counsel!
Justice Olasumbo agreed with the defendant that the anti-graft agency FAILED to establish any element of crime in the SEVEN-COUNT CHARGE it entered before the court and enumerated the following cogent reason:
1. Most of the witnesses gave contradictory evidence in the course of trial.
2. There was no basis for the court to compel the defendant to enter his defence to the charge.
3. Prosecution witnesses contradicted themselves on whether the defendant was still HOSF when he chaired PCFATF.
4. No evidence linked the accused with the statutory element and ingredients of the offence with which he was charged.
5. Court has no business scouting for evidence for the prosecution.

DEFENDANT IS DISCHARGED - QED!
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), no doubt gave every reason for discernable minds to believe that Steve Oronsaye's recommendation did not go down with the Agency through its exhibition of animosity and an uncontrollable desperation through the amended charges which fell like a pack of cards at the court. We gave a sigh of relief when the judgment which was delivered in MAY 2017, eventually put the entire sad episode against a highly-revered, highly rated, diligent and dedicated, SERVANT LEADER to rest at long last and we give to God the glory that his good works could not be soiled by the agency which, though had the powers to PROSECUTE BUT COULD NOT TO JUDGE!
GOVERNMENT'S WHITE PAPER ON ORONSAYE'S REPORT MUST BE QUICKLY APPROVED, NOW THAT THE MAN HAS BEEN EXONORATED! WASTAGES IN GOVERNMENT MUST STOP WITH THE APC'S CHANGE GOVERNMENT PLEASE!
POSTERITY WILL REMEMBER STEPHEN OSAGIEDE OROSANYE AS ONE MAN WHO STOOD FOR TRUTH, JUSTICE AND EQUITY, EVEN WHEN HE SERVED IN THE MOST CORRUPT GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY (PDP), WHICH FOISTED UNTOLD HARDSHIP ON THE DOWNTRODDEN MASSES THROUGH MASSIVE WASTAGES OF THE COMMON WEALTH! LIES MAY TRAVEL FAR FOR SEVERAL YEARS; TRUTH WILL ALWAYS OVERTAKE IT AND WIN THE RACE! LET US ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT ONLY RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL EXALT A NATION BECAUSE SIN CONSTITUTES A REPROACH TO ALL PEOPLE!

"See thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not shall not stand before mean men. (Prov 22:29)

NOLLYWOOD FILMS ARE POLLUTING SOCIETAL VALUES! THEY SHOULD BE CENSORED!

ZION B-BC   NEWSLETTER.  

(Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja Nigeria. [VOL. 6. NO 205. 16th July, 2017.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You   Free! (John.8:32).

NOLLYWOOD FILMS ARE POLLUTING SOCIETAL VALUES!  THEY SHOULD BE CENSORED!

In 2014, Nigeria was credited for being the country with the largest re-based Gross Domestic Product (GDP), index for the year 2013 on the African continent, and the 26th globally. Nollywood, as an arm of the entertainment and music industry with the mobile telephone market, were credited for contributing 12% (per cent), or N853.9 billion naira of foreign exchange earnings to the nation's economy through film productions, music and telephone communications which should have been meticulously and thoroughly censored and monitored to meet international best practice for both local and export consumption, before sales distribution and shipment! Nigeria’s celebrated GDP estimates for the year 2013 was put at $ 510 billion US dollars or N80.3 trillion taking into account the massive contribution to national economy by these SERVICE-ORIENTED SECTOR, a revelation that the level of economic activity at that period, was much higher than in the 24 years before 2013. The economic landscape was majorly boosted by this Sector which offered a significant opportunity for growth and wealth creation; BUT AT WHAT COST?

The uninformed or uneducated citizens kept wondering why the nation's economy had not had positive impact on their lifestyles with all past administrations, military or democracy without getting reasonable answers for their dilemma because the players in the economy before 29th, May, 2015, cornered all the dividends for themselves and abandoned the poor masses to their uncertain fate and it did not take long  before economic RECESSION began to take its toll on the nation! But thank God for the BUHARI/OSINBAJO APC'S CHANGE ADMINISTRATION which has now restored hope of economic survival in the lives over 100.000.000, million Nigerian "hewers of the wood and drawers of the water!’’

Nollywood which is an acronym, sobriquet or colloquial term for the Nigerian Film Industry, dates back to early 2000s, when Nigerian films began to evolve and to attract international attention as Nigeria's version of America's Hollywood or India's Bollywood major film entertainment industries as they were released in some of the nation's major languages, notable cultures/ traditions with which Nigeria is richly blessed! Outside of contributing naira, kobo and foreign currencies to the coffers of the nation Nollywood had bequeathed the "GREEK GIFT" of PLAGUES, PESTILLENCES, DISASTERS, CALAMITIES  ETC, upon the land of Nigeria through 100% emphasis on IDOLATORY - SORCERY, ENCHANTMENTS, DIVINATIONS , SYNCRETISM, ETC, which has further compounded the almost miserable and meaningless lives of the downtrodden who believed in most of Nollywood MISLEADING THEMES AND STORY LINES which unfortunately had not been adequately controverted  by the regulatory, supervising and censorship authorities saddled with this very SENSITIVE, SPIRITUAL AND VERY DELICATE ISSUE OF GODLESS FAITH!

Although the pre and post independent Nigeria witnessed celluloid films broadcast of outstanding artistes from the  geographical regions, nothing could be compared to the technology of HOME VIDEO FILM DISCS PRODUCTION which debuted from late 20th Century, which overwhelmed, drowned and almost brought to extinction the clamour for CINEMA CENTRES  across the nation! In a more civilized Nigeria of this new century, hardly would one find any household without a TELEVISION SET, SMART OR ANDROID PHONES through which they could watch Nollywood films which became so popular among the populace and globally.

There was no doubt that it was a good development for both the film industry and the Nigerian economy because of the nation's attainment as Africa's busiest economic destination, BUT WHY WOULD NOLLYWOOD PRODUCERS DESTROY THOSE GAINS THROUGH ENCOURAGEMENT OF IDOL WORSHIP WHICH HAS DRIVEN MANY INTO ILLICIT ACQUISITION OF WEALTH THROUGH MURDER AND HUMAN BLOOD SHEDDING?
Because this "modern" film industry had been busy dishing out globally, through UNHOLY Visual Cassette Discs (VCD's), about Nigeria to other nations in the name of propagating CULTURE, TRADITION, RELIGION AND GOOD MORALS? Though most of the films are produced in Nigeria's lingua franca which is the English Language, film makers always ensured that translations of others done along ethnic, tribal or regional formats were done through sub-titles for wider reach. The Hausa- language cinema, informally known as "KANNYWOOD" (a sub-industry of Nollywood -based in Kano), Yoruba, Ibo, Itsekiri, Edo, Urhobo, etc, Film Productions fall into this category.

However it is very disheartening that ALL OF THE NOLLYWOOD FILMS EXIBIT WITH RELISH, THE FOLLOWING HUMAN NEGATIVE AND UNGODLY TRAITS IN THE FORM OF:
Violence;
Gangsterism;
Robbery;
Cultism;
Immorality;
Paganism;
Idolatry;
Heathenism, (enchantment, socerery, divination, witchcraft, wizardry, worship of water and marine spirits/powers;
Confrontation against lawful authorities, (militancy/insurgency);
Corruption of societal and national values through emphasis on the power and love of money/money-making rituals with HUMAN BLOOD, instead of the love of God who gives power to make wealth;
Exhibition of inferiority complex in fashion and lifestyle; ( love for false BRAZILIAN wigs, foreign dress style instead of made in Nigeria fabrics and total BLEECHING of the skin by both male and female artistes), and
MORAL DECADENCE, through which the national campaign against sexual immorality became a NULITY and the nation has recorded at least 20 million Nigerians who are HIV/AIDS POSITIVE! Of all of the above VICES, immoralities in the forms of illicit sexual activities, fornication, adultery, disobedience to parents/lawful authorities, reveling/celebration and emphasis on the love of money, and ABNORMAL SKIN BLEECHING, stand out conspicuously!

They celebrate Witches/Wizards/Witch Doctor/Ancestral gods, whom they regard as more powerful than God- worshipping/ God-fearing citizens whom they portray as mere mortals in order to instill fear into them for their illicit monetary gains. Film producers story themes always vindicated WITCH DOCTORS, while those who consulted their SHRINES were left to face the consequences of their idolatry acts!

They promoted invisible occult powers that struck people dead in their sleep and which also make criminals to disappear from scenes of crime and escape arrests! Other promotions include groups of young witches who "possess" evil powers which they unleashed on perceived enemies or rival fraternities in form of deaths or incurable infirmities while "gods of the land - iron gods; thunder, lightining , rain, crops/fertility gods , etc, were worshiped with the zeal of national pride though Nigeria is constitutionally SECULAR!

DID YOU KNOW THAT MOST YOUTHS AND MARRIED COUPLES FACED WITH CHALLENGES OF FINANCES, CHILD BEARING, JOBLESSNESS, PROMOTIONS, VENGEANCE; ETC, ARE DESPERATELY SEEKING DIABOLICAL POWERS TO OVERCOME THESE CHALLENGES THROUGH THOSE WITCH DOCTORS AND HERBALIST REGULARLY PROMOTED IN NOLLYWOOD FILMS?
Nollywood film makers are misleading the Nigerian youths who copycat all make-beliefs in the films they watched on regular basis and always experimented on the immorality of real sexual acts of fornication and even gang rapes of unfortunate girls or women! Married couples relish in adultery while the rituals of money-making with human parts/blood have become an all-comers affair while religious activities are deliberately relegated to the background! Although, PARENTAL GUIDANCE (PG), AND AGE LIMIT WARNINGS were usually displayed before every film episodes, they have turned out to be mere dress rehearsals because there was no way the advices could be enforced except the FILM CENSORS BOARD pronounces total ban of the negative and unethical film broadcasts by Nollywood to the Nigerian populace!

WHERE IS THE ROLE OF THE NATIONAL FILMS AND VIDEO CENSORS BOARD IN ALL OF THESE?
The National Film Video Censors Board (NFVCB), is the regulatory body set up by Act No. 85 of 1993 to regulate films and videos industry in Nigeria. NFVCB Board is empowered by law to classify all films and videos whether imported or produced locally. It is also the duty of the Board to register all films and video outlets across the country and to keep a register of such registered outlets among other functions in order to ensure national values. They are also to censor motion picture film, home movies and video productions; but have they been very diligent to function in their official duties in view of the massive infiltration of film and movie productions with false religious doctrines/bigotry, idolatry, violence etc as enumerated earlier. The current situation in the film industry is very frightening.

It is an all-comers affair of "damaging and destructive gabages in the form of entertainment", which has swept both religious and faith morals into the dust bins and incinerators and we believe that the right time to arrest this unhealthy development by the Ministries of Information and Culture at the Federal and State levels is NOW! Nigeria should not degenerate into an abyss of idolatry and GODLESSNESS IN THE NAME OF ENTERTAINMENT AND FOREIGN EARNINGS!

THIRTY-THREE-YEAR-OLD Chairman of the Workers Party of Korea (WPK), and Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un of Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea (DPRK), who assumed office, 13th April, 2012, is in the "eye of the storm" for flexing nuclear muscles against the United States and other nations, including South Korea, which dared to cast aspersion on his country's super power capabilities in the area of modern technological nuclear weaponry.
The young leader had boasted of his country's dexterity in the invention and manufacture of highly sophisticated nuclear war heads, atomic/hydrogen bombs, which can destroy any nation, but had consistently claimed that his NUCLEAR PROGRAMME was specifically designed against US aggression!

Since assumption of office, Kim Jong-un had tested a number of provocative Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (IBMs), that have prompted international condemnation, though he accused the US of using the North Korea's nuclear programme as an excuse to mask its own opposition to banning nuclear weapons. He has also claimed through his envoy at the United Nation's (UN), mission, that, the US drove his country to make and possess nuclear weapons to defend itself against any American aggression. He said that the US was the first country to use nuclear weapons against Japan, during World War II and had continued to use them, "to threaten and blackmail other countries" including North Korea which supports the global effort to eliminate nuclear weapons " until the denuclearisation of the world is implemented."

The US had said that it would not participate in the UN talks aimed at banning nuclear weapons because "bad actors" wouldn't sign or comply with a potential treaty since "North Korea would be the one cheering and the people we represent would be the one at risk." Although there is a global move to totally ban nuclear weapons, the five nuclear powers, -US, Russia, China, Britain and France, have refused to attend the meeting, saying a ban won't work but opted for "a more (unexplained), gradual approach."
DPRK's envoy to the UN has disclosed that his country would not also take part in the talks because of joint military exercises by US and South Korea using Special Forces and "all kinds of nuclear strategic assets", AIMED AT SECRETLY INVADING NORTH KOREA TO ELIMINATE ITS LEADERSHIP!

AUSTRIAN ARCHDUKE'S ASSASINATION CAUSED WORLD WAR 1: At the beginning of the 20th Century, precisely between 1914 and1918, the global conflict fought by most countries of the world and tagged, WORLD WAR 1, was so intense in fierceness, destruction of human lives, properties, and critical infrastructures of enormous dimension that it seemed the world would come to an end!

Historical records state that the assassination of the Austrian Archduke Francis Ferdinand by a Serbian nationalist, Gavrilo Princip, on 28th June 1914, in Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia, part of former Yugoslavia, was the root cause of the war! The assassin shot Ferdinand as an act of protest against the AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION OF SERBIAN-SPEAKING BOSNIA and an expression of the pan-Slavic movement then popular among many in Eastern Europe. Austria-Hungary was a multinational state, (with a dozen official languages), most of the South-Central and Eastern Europe, with half of its population composed of SLAVS, who had nationalist ambitions! Though, fanatical nationalism could always cause rift, dissension, insurgency etc, it would seem ludicrous that such obsession would ever generate A WORLD WAR, BUT IT DID!

The conflict of interests between Russia and Germany in Austria which could have resolved the unfortunate development resulted in an unsuccessful and tortuous diplomacy since the Nazis preferred that Austria should punish Serbia for the assassination crime but Russia was opposed to the idea, and eventually when Austria declared war on Serbia, Germany belatedly tried to prevent the war from escalating but to no avail! And having taken side, Germany had no other choice than to declare war on Russia and later on France on 3rd August, 1914, and also invaded Luxembourg and Belgium, hoping to win a swift victory in the West and so be able to turn its attention on the more powerful Russian foe but failed in its calculation because Britain entered the war in support of France and Belgium since Germany was a potential economic and naval threat to her far-flung empire abroad.
Thus the stage was set for World War 1 which witnessed the introduction of new weapons - such as the submarine, the airplane and the tank - mobilized the entire manpower/economic resources of all combatant nations, devoured an estimated 10 million military men and an equal number of civilian causalities, cost more than $337 billion US dollars to execute in FOUR YEARS (1914-1918)!
Reasons for the aggressive nature of World War 1 could be traced to the previous French revolutionary and Napoleonic wars in early 19th Century, which took Europe by surprise. When Napoleon invaded Russia in 1812, he led an army of some 600.000 men! Napoleon1, Emperor of the French (1769-1821), was a military genius, brilliant organiser and deft administrator who dominated Europe for nearly 20 years, was one of the greatest conquerors in world history. With the exception of BRITAIN, his empire covered most of Western and Central Europe and extended from North Sea to Sicily and all neighbouring states were either under his control or in alliance with France.

World War II was even more disastrous: some 17million soldiers and 43 million civilians were killed at an estimated cost of $ 1.348 billion US dollars to execute sequel to the technological development of weaponry and the strategy of mass bombing of civilian populations which created destruction on an unprecedented scale! DRESDEN, HAMBURG, HIROSHIMA, NAGASAKI and many other cities were utterly destroyed! The introduction of NUCLEAR WEAPONS in World War II had thus signified a global threat of world-wide destruction!

NUCLEAR WEAPONS!   The research for nuclear energy which relates to weapons or the use of weapons; which use the power produced when the nucleus of an atom is divided or joined to another nucleus has further spurred the unending confrontations between the Western and Eastern blocs since the end of World War II into greater stockpiling of destructive weapons of modern warfare of nuclear arsenal. The so-called super powers, which is headed by the United States, and Russia (head of former Soviet Union), are leading in the nuclear industry. Others members of the nuclear team, Britain, France, China and North Korea and are also capable of waging nuclear wars but would be checkmated through the concept of deterrence!

CONCEPT OF DETERRENCE - is an agreement which would disabuse the mind of any powerful nation from nuclear attack against another due to the advantage of hindsight  that, such nation had equal or even more devastating capacity of nuclear weapons to strike back!
At the end of World War 1, the LEAGUE OF NATIONS which was instituted to broker peace among warring countries turned out to be weak and ineffective though it made an attempt to reach agreement on arms disarmament between 1921 and 1934, because it was neither supported by US nor Germany and while the delay lingered, World War II broke out in 1939  and ushered in the NUCLEAR AGE!

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the Western Bloc's defence organization against any threat from the Eastern Bloc/German aggression in Europe or the North Atlantic area, debuted in the late 1940s, following the end of World War II and has functioned effectively to date with a modern headquarters recently commissioned in Brussels, Belgium, and with President Donald Trump who complained of NATO'S huge financial burden incurred by the US and admonished other members to pay up their dues.

NO MORE ASSASINATIONS PLEASE!
NORTH KOREA'S SUPREME LEADER MUST NOT BE ASSASINATED UNDER ANY GUISE BY THE US OR SOUTH KOREA AUTHORITIES IN ORDER TO AVOID WORLD WAR III! THE 21ST CENTURY WORLD POWERS MUST put their Trust (faith and believe), and take refuge in the Lord and His Anointed, instead of NUCLEAR ARSENAL which is capable of destroying a World which they did not create!
There was a First World War and a Second World War, that were fought by men to confirm the Word of the Lord Jesus Christ that before His Second Advent to JUDGE THE WORLD:  " And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom and there shall be famines and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places. All these are the beginning of sorrows." (Matthew. 24:6-8).

THE IMAGINED TIME BOMB IN NIGERIA!
Fanatical nationalism and Religious fanaticism are common place in Nigeria, going by the number of regular agitations and organised street protests, but it should not be allowed to degenerate into WARS AND CONFLICTS which could destroy the UNITY OF A DIVERSE NATION which had been nurtured for over a century and " bring the world to an end?"
WORLD WITHOUT END! Unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. (Ephesians. 3: 21).

RESTRUCTURING OF NIGERIA IS THE COMMON MAN'S INALIENABLE RIGHT!

ZION B-BC   NEWSLETTER.  

(Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja Nigeria. [VOL. 6. NO 203. 2nd July, 2017.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You   Free! (John.8:32).

RESTRUCTURING OF NIGERIA IS THE COMMON MAN'S INALIENABLE RIGHT!

The orchestrated controversies over National Restructuring of Project Nigeria has been narrowed down by debaters, analysts, commentators and critics to mean: one or all of the following: True or Fiscal Federalism, Devolution Of Power From Federal To Federating States, Resource Control, Principles of Derivation, State Police, Rotational Presidency etc.: BUT EVERYONE REJECTED SECESSION, BREAK-UP OR DISMEMBERMENT OF THE NATION AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO ALL THE SUGGESTIONS!

Prominent among all the debaters were the RECYCLED POLITICIANS who have acquired immense wealth through tribalism/nepotism in the award of contracts and lopsided employment opportunities which always favoured some geographical areas of the country above others since independence. BUT HAS ANYONE EVER THOUGHT THAT THE DOCTRINE OF NATIONAL RESTRUCTURING (POLITICALLY OR ECONOMICALLY), SHOULD ISSUE FROM INDIVIDUAL MINDS THROUGH ORIENTATION AND RE-ORIENTATION ABOUT CITIZENSHIP, NATIONAL VALUES, CIVIC DUTIES ETC?
What happened to the RESTRUCTURING of past administrations from Amalgamation to Parliamentary, Regional, Military, and States creation from 12, to 19, 27 and 36, in 157 years of Nigeria as a nation? What was the gain of the common man in all of these past? Did restructuring put food on his table? Where are his ancestors who toiled for Nigeria? Did they not all die in penury and poverty? Where the employment opportunities were for employable and able-bodied citizens in all of the window-dressing antics called restructuring? The unemployment ratio in Nigeria is almost 65% in spite of the efforts of the present Change Administration!

In the beginning, GOD created Man as a TRIPARTITE personality i.e. Body, Soul and Spirit, capable of reasoning constructively, highly sensible to make independent decisions without coercion, pressure, intimidation or harassment by anyone other than his God-endowed Conscience! . NOW IS THE TIME TO ALLOW THE COMMON MAN TO DECIDE HIS OWN DESTINY WITHOUT FURTHER MANIPULATION BY THE UNFAITHFUL POLITICAL REPRESENTATIVES AT ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNANCE - ESPECIALLY, THE LEGISLATURE WHICH MUST BE COLLAPSED INTO ONE CHAMBER OF TWO LEGISLATORS FROM EACH OF THE 36 STATES AND WHO WOULD SERVE ON PART-TIME APPOINTMENTS ON BASIC CIVIL SERVICE SALARIES/ALOWANCES TO BLOCK GOVERNMENT WASTAGES!

The Godly common man is fully aware that the Earth and all its Fullness belong to GOD and that, naked he came to the world and naked would he return to GOD to give account of his stewardship at the end of his sojourn on planet Earth since it is appointed for Man to DIE ONLY ONCE, and thereafter to be JUDGED! MOST OF THE CONFUSIONISTS AND AGITATORS FOR RESTRUCTURING AND SECESSION FROM NIGERIA ARE CLOSER TO THEIR GRAVES WHERE ALL AGITATIONS CEASE, THAN THEY COULD EVER IMAGINE!

What dividends of democracy can the EXPIRED, CORRUPTED, DISILUSSIONED AND UNREPENTANT politicians bring to the table for the INDEPENDENT MIND OF THE COMMON MAN, who is actually the GOOSE THAT HAD ALWAYS LAID THE GOLDEN EGGS SINCE AMALGAMATION IN 1914?
We believe that there is nothing wrong with Nigeria's present STRUCTURE of 36 States -  what is wrong is maladministration by politicians who have FAILED for the umpteenth time to HARNESS the God-given natural resources within their reach to generate massive INTERNAL REVENUES to make the States sustainable economically because of their SELFISH AGENDA TO SIPHON SUCH WEALTH FOR PERSONAL AGGRANDIZEMENT!
We had severally advocated that GOVERNORS of the 36 States should be forced to give account of the Federal Government's BAIL OUT FUNDS LENT TO THEM FOR THE PAYMENT OF BACK-LOG OF WORKERS SALARIES IN 2015&2016, AND ALSO THOSE OF 35 STATES  FOR TWO TRANCHES OF PARIS CLUB REFUND OF SEVERAL BILLIONS OF NAIRA OVER-DEDUCTED THROUGH LOAN SERVICING and it is gratifying to learn that SERAP, - a Nigerian anti-corruption Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), has secured a COURT ORDER which must now force the States helmsmen to give account of disbursement of the said strategic funds to SERAP and by extension for public knowledge, since mismanagement of the funds was rumoured in the social media!

On 29th June, 2017, a Lagos Federal High Court, granted leave which now permits Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), to seek and order of mandamus (an order from a court to an inferior government official ordering the official to properly fulfil his official duties or correct an abuse of discretion ), directing the government to publish details of his spending of the N388.304 billion London Paris Club Loan refunds allegedly diverted and mismanaged by 35 States of the Nigerian Federation. In a very brief ruling, the Judge permitted SERAP to proceed with the legal challenge to unravel how those States spent the loan refund. Justice Muslim Hassan, stressed that it was pertinent for the authorities "to come and tell us how they spent our money."  The Governors had claimed that they spent the refunds on strategic social projects! WE WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE FOR INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES WITH INDEPENDENT MINDS WHO WILL TRULY REPRESENT THE DOWNTRODDEN WITHOUT LET OR HINDRANCE; AND IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT THE ONGOING NATIONAL ASSEMBLY (NASS), 1999 CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT JOINT COMMITTEE WOULD ENSURE THE PASSAGE OF THIS ADVOCACY!

The THREE-PRONGED THRUST of the Change Administration's effort to revamp the bastardized economy on assumption of governance in 2015, was,
(1) To erase and obliterate CORRUPTION completely
(2) To destroy all manner of insurgency and annihilate the Boko Haram terrorism
(3) Create an enabling and conducing atmosphere and opportunities through massive diversification to Agriculture/Solid Mineral natural resources from the mono-crude oil product, in order to cater for the total welfare package of the TALAKAWAS!

We were therefore not surprised that the arrowheads of the The 2014 National Conference solely organised by ex President Ebele Jonathan, to boost his electoral chances for his THIRD TERM in office have championed the advocacy that the CONTROVERSIAL REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE which was nothing short of a monumental fraud against the electorate and the generality of citizens of Nigeria, should be ADOPTED as panacea for RESTRUCTURING! What an effrontery?

Have the VIPERS not exposed their penchant for greed and avarice once again in order to remain "relevant" from one administration to another? But patriotic Nigerians have not forgotten that the President who rejoiced while Nigeria was devastated by a terrible inferno in the disastrous theatre of BOKO HARAM WAR, only succeeded to BRIBE 492 GOVERNMENT-SELECTED DELEGATES, Conference Officials and Staff with a whooping sum of about N20 billion naira of tax payers money to cater for accommodation allowances, hotel bills, feeding and transportation for the FOUR MONTHS JAMBOREE, AND NOT THE DOWNTRODDEN CITIZENS who make up the 180 million population! Late President Umaru Musa Yar'Adua and Ebele Jonathan, assumed office on 29th May, 2007, and under their watch, the NUCLEUS of the BOKO HARAM CELL, birthed in Maiduguri, capital city of Bornu State, in 2009! Ex-President Yar'Adua passed on in the year 2010, leaving his Vice to carry on the job of the AMNESTY PROGRAMME for Niger Delta Militants and also the COUNTER-INSURGENCY operations against the Boko Haram Religious Sect in the North Eastern State; but sadly enough, Ebele Jonathan cared less in respect of the insurgency!

On 14th April, 2014, there was a twin-bomb attack by Boko Harram terrorists on the Federal Capital Territory's (FCT), populous suburb of Nyanyan, Bus Terminal, in which not less 79 unfortunate citizens suddenly lost their lives and on the same fateful day, about 275 students of the Chibok Girls Secondary School, in Borno State, were kidnapped by the same group which PASSIONATELY HATES WESTERN EDUCATION!
At one stage, during the castigation of his government's failure and ineptitude in recovering the captives within a reasonable period, the ex-President said publicly that the reported case of kidnapping was a HOAX AND CHEAP POLITICAL BLACKMAIL AGAINST HIS ADMINISTRATION!
After Jonathan's exit, the Change All Progressives Congress (APC), Administration which was determined to win the war against the terrorists, discovered that the sum of $2.1 billion US dollars, which was appropriated to purchase ARMS and AMMUNITION to prosecute the war against insurgency was allegedly diverted by retired Col. Sambo Dasuki, the National Security Adviser (NSO), (presently on trial), for the presidential ambition of his boss, Ebele Jonathan in 2015!

Before Jonathan's providential opportunity in governance, BAYELSA, his State of origin was one of the smallest in land mass and population, which complained bitterly of MARGINALIZATION AND AGITATED FOR RESTRUCTURING. God gave Jonathan a miraculous opportunity to rule Nigeria but he turned out to be unfit for the enormous assignment which has now been given to a more dignified team who are ready to do the will of God for the majority poor masses! In spite of Jonathan's failure, Bayelsa is also agitating for restructuring - but which type would they vote for this time around?

WE MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT NO PEOPLE, RACE, COLOUR OR CREED POSSESSES ANY LAND ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! FROM BABEL WE ALL MIGRATED ON A MISSION OF HUMAN GOVERNMENT TO CO-HABITATE, INTER-MARRY, WORK TOGETHER AND UNITE ECONOMICAL FOR OUR COLLECTIVE SURVIVAL! NO ONE CAN BE AN ISLAND TO HIMSELF!  THAT IS HOW GOD PLANNED IT.

ALLOW THE COMMOM MAN ENJOY ALL OF HIS FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS, ALL DIVIDENDS OF DEMOCRACY, IN THE FORM OF GOOD EMPLOYMENT WITH LIVING WAGES TO CATER FOR HIS FAMILY, MORTGAGED ACCOMODATION PLAN, HEALTH FACILITIES AND PORTABLE WATER, GOOD TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, ADEQUATE SECURITY,  ETC; AND HE IS DONE WITH THE RESTRUCTURING! AND AT THE PERIOD OF ELECTIONS, HE WOULD VOTE WISELY AND CONCIENCIOUSLY FOR CONCIENCIOUS CANDIDATES! A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE!

OBAMA'S LEGACIES OF GOOD GOVERNANCE CANNOT BE RUBBISHED BY DONALD TRUMP!

OBAMA'S LEGACIES OF GOOD GOVERNANCE CANNOT BE RUBBISHED BY DONALD TRUMP!

The 45th President of the United States of America, Donald Trump is fast becoming the most controversial politician on planet earth through his compulsive, unguarded and undiplomatic policy utterances and decisions which tend to border on divisive tendencies and racism! One of the most grievous in his long list of controversies within SIX MONTHS in the White House, was America's  pull out from the PARIS CLIMATE CHANGE AGREEMENT ((Accord de Paris), signed by about 200 countries with most Presidents/Heads of State and Governments in attendance on 13th December, 2015, including his predecessor BARAK OBAMA - the first Black American President!
Donald Trump could not hide his disdain for all the laudable achievements of former President Obama, during the latter's EIGHT YEARS tenure, just as America's WHITE KLU KLUX KLAN FRATERNITY hates the BLACKS with vicious passion! He pledged to repeal and replace OBAMACARE -  his predecessor's attempt to extend HEALTHCARE  to the estimated 15% of the population who were not covered and he seems to be succeeding with the tacit support of his Republican Party members in the House of Representatives, who believed that the law imposed too many costs and an unwarranted intrusion into the affairs of private businesses and individuals. However this move is still in abeyance, since it is yet to pass through the SENATE, which has promised to re-write he whole bill because of strong opposition by doctors, medical industry and Democrats! He also threatened to reverse the deal that Obama struck with CUBA to re-establish diplomatic and trade relation after about 46 years (1961-2015) of strained relations, but later back-pedalled.

AMERICA'S RENOWN AS A WORLD POWER never diminished during Obama's tenure but was highly boosted with the capture and execution of al Queda's Commander, Bin Laden, whose terrorists crashed through the nation's very tight land and air security/defence network with FOUR high jacked commercial airliners and carried out co-ordinated suicide attacks against targets in which 2,977 people were killed in the US on September 11, 2001! The United States during Obama's Admistration also supported several African States including Nigeria, in their war against insurrection, insurgency and terrorism for them to maintain their territorial integrity and actualize economic potentials for their downtrodden masses.

SOME OTHER CONTROVERSIAL POLICY DECISIONS OF TRUMP IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS!

1. Trump promised to build a Border Wall between America and Mexico which he decreed that the latter should bank roll at a cost of $21.5billion US dollars or £17.2billion pounds sterling and following Mexico’s refusal, he then said, the US would have to pay up front and then seek re-imbursement some way.
2. Immigration Executive Order that have challenged throughout the country and travel ban targeting refugees and travellers from seven majority-muslims countries MINUS Saudi Arabia, the country home of Bin Laden! Donald Trump was named in 42 federal law suits within his 11 days as Commander-in-Chief and faced massive protests nation-wide. Trump believed that "undocumented immigrants" totalling about 11. 5 million had to go. After the elections, he reduced the figure to a out two to three million of people who have criminal records, gang members or drug dealers. Officially about 890.000 illegal immigrants including people charged with crossing the border illegally had criminal records.
3. Trump queried the continued existence of NATO which he described as OBSOLETE and wondered whether members still paid their dues, but later said that the threat of terrorism had underlined the alliance importance and commented that the body was no longer obsolete during the visit of NATO's Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg to the White House!
4. Donald Trump promised to prosecute Democratic rival, Mrs Hilary Clinton, over the use of her private email server while she was Secretary of State under OBAMA Administration, but later described her after the elections as someone the country owed a "debt of gratitude"
5. Trump's support for "ONE CHINA"  policy that sees Taiwan as part of China having earlier condemned the country as "CURRENCY MANIPULATOR" was hinged on allegation that Trump's business conglomerate has 77 registered trademarks in China and 49 waiting for approval. As a sitting President, he should not be accepting the registration of those valuable property rights from China says a former Obama administration lawyer Norman Eisen.

Having pulled out of the Paris Accord, European leaders and other nations now look forward to CHINA to take up America's role although it was reported that the most senior official, at the US Embassy in Beijing, David Rank, resigned as a protest against Trump's decision!
It is said that many senior aides of President Trump were unable to predict his views about any issue and were so uncertain on how to work successfully with him if they would not support or implement his policies!

THE PARIS CLIMATE CHANGE ACCORD OF 2015!
Climate as an integral part of CREATION, is a common phenomenon across the world and can be human-friendly, provided meticulous care is taken to prevent ENVIRONMENTAL POLUTION through incessant CARBON EMISSION into the ATMOSPHERE.
In 2015, world leaders from nearly 200 countries gathered in the French Capital of Paris to agree on positive measures to improve CLIMATIC CONDITIONS around the world. Barak Obama represented the US and Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria.
Only TWO countries failed to sign the international agreement which TERMS include the following:
(1). To reduce the amount of harmful greenhouse gas produced and increase renewable types of energy like wind, solar and wave power;
(2) To keep global temperature increase "well below" 2C (3.6 F) and to try to limit it to 1.5C;
(3) To review progress every FIVE YEARS; and
(4). To spend $100 billion dollars a year in Climate financing for poorer countries by 2020 with a commitment to further finance in the future. THE ATTEMPT WAS TO LIMIT THE TEMPERATURE ON THE EARTH FROM RISING TOO QUICKLY AND TOO HIGH.

WHY DID DONALD TRUMP PULL OUT OF THE COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT?
His major reason was to SPITE HIS BLACK PREDECESSOR IN OFFICE by reversing all plausible and very successful policies which had improved America's domestic and international profile in the past EIGHT YEARS OF THE DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION! The Word of God says: "BUT HE THAT HATETH HIS BROTHER IS IN DARKNESS, AND WALKETH IN DARKNESS, AND KNOWETH NOT WHITHER HE GOETH, BECAUSE THAT DARKNESS HATH BLINDED HIS EYES! (I John.2:11).

We strongly believe that Donald Trump has no business in American Politics. While talking tough during his electioneering campaign stunts, Donald Trump claimed that America became a WEAK NATION, during OBAMA'S TENURE and boasted that he would restore America's lost glory of FIRE POWER on assumption of office! But to date he is unable, (1) To defend the world from NORTH KOREA which had defied all INTERNATIONAL ANTI-NUCLEAR AGREEMENTS through defiant and unabated launching of INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTICS MISSILES and (2) He could not dislodge the ISLAMIC STATE (IS) Terrorists operating in Syria/Iraq, nor flush them out as he boasted he would on assumption of office!
HIS OFFICIAL REASON FOR PULLING OUT OF THE PARIS AGREEMENT was based on his concept of "AMERICA FIRST" and so, he dismissed the Accord as a HOAX CONCOCTED BY CHINA AND THE REGULATIONS OF PARIS, WHICH WERE  STIFLING TO AMERICAN GROWTH; contrary to the opinion of his predecessor who signed it!
Out of all the divine gifts at creation to humanity, the ATMOSPHERIC AIR is the most MYSTERIOUS, INEXPLICABLE, very INTRIGUING and definitely INDISPENSIBLE unseen TERRESTIAL ELEMENT which gives life to Man, (the pride of creation), animals, fishes, birds trees and vegetations! The atmospheric Air must not be polluted in any form because, THERE IS NO LIVING THING THAT CAN THRIVE WITHOUT AIR! 
In Genesis. 2: 7, it is written that the LORD God formed Man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul! By refusing to contribute God's "resources" in America' s CUSTODY, to the common pool and for the common good, especially, the poorer nations from deadly CABON MONOXIDE POLLUTED AIR, Donald Trump has committed the SIN AGAINST A COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT in Acts of the Apostles. 4: 31-37 and its dire consequences in, Acts of the Apostles. 5:1-12!
THE PRAYER WALL OF JERUSALEM! Did Donald Trump have to prove his CHRISTIAN CONVICTIONS AND VIRTUES BY DONNING A RABBI'S CAP while he laid his right hand on the Jerusalem Prayer Wall in SILENT PRAYER, during his official visit to ISRAEL, having REFUSED TO CONTRIBUTE God's Recourses in his custody to actualize A CLEANER ENVIRONMENT OF THE BREATH OF LIFE FOR POORER NATIONS ; - AN ACTION WHICH WAS NOTHING SHORT OF A HOAX?

Glory be to GOD that CHINA'S PRESIDENT  XI JINPING will now champion the NEED FOR A CLIMATE-FRIENDLY UNIVERSE TO DWELL IN! The Lord Jesus Christ says, " The wind bloweth where it listeth and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it commeth and whither it goeth, so is everyone that is born of the Spirit." (John. 3:8). President should subject himself to the authority of the HOLY SPIRIT and rescind his ungodly decision! CLIMATE CHANGE IS NO RESPECTER OF ANY NATION OR RACE!

JUNE12 POPULIST ELECTION WAS THE DIVINE AMALGAMATION OF NATIONAL CONSCIENCE!

ZION B-BC   NEWSLETTER.  

(Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja Nigeria. [VOL. 6. NO 201. 18th June, 2017.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You   Free! (John.8:32).

JUNE12 POPULIST ELECTION WAS THE DIVINE AMALGAMATION OF NATIONAL CONSCIENCE!

The furore over who should sign into law, the 2017 "Budget of Economic Recovery and Growth" - whether it should be flown to President Muhammadu Buhari who is on medical leave in London or be laid on the table of the Acting President, 'Yemi Osinbajo who is holding fort in Abuja, came to an abrupt end on Monday 12th June, 2017, when the latter proved to Nigerians that no form of CABAL would create a dichotomy within the presidency's joint ticket by appending his legitimate assent on the very essential Bill and doused the unwarranted imbroglio!

Was it a coincidence that the 2017 Budget was signed on JUNE 12 which marks a watershed in the annals of Nigeria's political history as a day when all Nigerians on that date in 1993, voted overwhelmingly for the Southerner among two Muslim presidential candidates of North/South political divide, in an election supervised by the Military Government of General Ibrahim Babangida and adjudged to be one of the freest and fairest ever held in Nigeria? Though that election was annulled by the military junta, 24 years ago (1993-2017), the annual commemoration of that memorable event had never ceased to be held by political pressure groups - especially in the South West, where the acclaimed winner, late business mogul, Chief Moshood Abiola hailed from!
In that epoch election, all Nigerians agreed in one accord to vote for both candidates without the sentiments of religion that none of the candidates was a Christian in an unprecedented patriotism of the national conscience and in the doctrine of ONE NIGERIA! 

June 12 which overcame ethnic, tribal, cultural, traditional barriers and diversities, has proved beyond all reasonable doubts that positive national ideologies have more impact among the citizens of this modern civilization than the mere geographical amalgamation of Nigeria's Northern/Southern Protectorates of 1914, which only aimed to expand the business empire of the colonial masters who governed with veto powers.
But has the Spirit of June 12 died in almost all the ethnicities/tribes who now opt for the break-up of our dearly-beloved indivisible, indissoluble, naturally and resourcefully-endowed country of over 250 tribe/ethnic groups and about 500 diverse languages? The latest assault on the Spirit of June 12, was an ultimatum issued on 8th June, 2017 by the Arewa Youths Coalition, which in 1993, voted massively for Southern candidate, Moshood Kashimawo Abiola in the Presidential Elections, but now have turned their backs on Southern Igbo citizens by issuing  a THREE-MONTH ultimatum (terminating on1st October,2017), for them to pack out of the 19 Northern States because of the persistent demand by IPOB/MASSOB for an independent state of Biafra which all Nigerians and patriotic Igbos have vehemently condemned!

IS IT NOT A SHAME TO NIGERIANS AS A NATION THAT AFTER OVER A CENTURY OF TOGETHERNESS AS A GEOGRAPHICAL ENTITY, "UNITY AMONG BRETHREN" IS STILL A FAR CRY? Whereas the Word of God says, in Psalm 133: 1-6, that UNITY IS THE HARBINGER TO BLESSINGS AND LIFE FOREVERMORE?

HOWEVER IT IS HEARTWARMING THAT A RECIPROCAL COUNTER ULTIMATUM issued by Igbos Youths against Northerners domicile in the South East has also been condemned and dismissed by the Federal and State Governments who gave assurances of protection and safety to all Nigerians who have constitutional rights to reside and acquire properties in any part of the country without molestation and so, have doused the tension that could have gravitated to anarchy. The tactical intervention by the Acting President, who has held peace meetings with leaders of thought in the various geo-political zones, should be embraced with faithful passion by the generality of the population of Nigerians while successes gained in the areas of counter insurgency, unrelenting war against corruption and resuscitation of the battered economy by the APC Administration should be jealously guarded because a UNITED STATES OF NIGERIA (USN), can only emerge  when all united hands are fully on deck! Nigerians MUST revive the SPIRIT OF JUNE 12, because it connotes a DIVINE INTERVENTION which defeated persistent military incursions which debuted from January 1966 - May 1999, so that the collective wishes of Nigerian masses for democratic governance could never be wished away by an insignificant and irresponsible gun-toting soldiers!
FOOD FOR THOUGHT! Let us imagine that the JUDGEMENT OF ALL NATIONS according to the Word of God in Matthew 25: 31-46, would commence tomorrow, would all Nigerians be counted worthy to be among the metaphoric SHEEP, who would be adjudged as Righteous people who would enjoy ETERNAL LIFE WITH CHRIST or be condemned to damnation of HELL FIRE AS "GOATS" who would be counted as Unrighteous and cast into EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT?
THE UNRIGHTEOUS LEGISLATORS AND THE 2017 BUDGET OF ECONOMIC RECOVERY AND GROWTH.
Although it took FIVE calendar months - 14th December, 2016, to 12th June, 2017, - for the Budget of Recovery and  Growth to be signed into law, was that delay gratifying and worth the while?
1. For the first time since 1999, the National Assembly, purportedly repented of keeping their annual fiscal appropriation SECRET, but published details of its 2017 budget breakdown as an act of TRANSPARENCY on 11th May, one month before the June12 assent by Acting President, 'Yemi Osinbajo.
2. The 2017 Budget appropriation of the "Open National Assembly" is now increased from N115 billion in 2016 to N125 billion in 2017 - an increase of N10 billion naira which clearly portrays a spirit of greed, selfishness and insincerity in a period of recession when all their salaries and allowances should have been cut by about 50% to support the downtrodden at this austere time!
3. The summary breakdown shows that NASS General Staff gets N14.9billion, Senate N31.3billion and the House of Representatives (HOR), gets N49billion. Of the N 14.9 billion appropriated to the general staff, NASS Service Commission getsN2.4 billion, Legislative aides get N9.6 billion, Public Accounts Committee (Senate), gets N118.9 million, while that of HOR gets N142.7million. Others are: General Services - N12.5billion; National Assembly Legislative Institute, N4.3billion; Service Wide Vote gets, N391.3 billion!
4. In spite of all the pretentious outing, the appended 2017 Budget still experienced NASS padding from N 7.28 trillion submitted by the Executive, on 14th December, 2016, to N 7. 44 trillion, passed by the legislators on 11th May, 2017 and which raised the ire of the Acting President before signing it into law on June 12, 2017!

It is widely believed that the Executive might approach the Supreme Court for a final arbitration over the annual manipulation, butchering and the RE-CREATION of the budget to suit legislators insatiable appetite for accumulation of illicit wealth through budget padding under the guise of "oversight functions"!
Professor 'Yemi Osinbajo made the following remarks while appending the budget for the reason of avoiding further delay that could negatively affect the economic recovery and for the sake of the TALAKAWAS who were always at the receiving end : "There are two broad issues about who could do what. The first report is about who can do what. When you present a budget to the National Assembly, it is presented as a bill, an appropriation bill. And secondly, do not introduce entirely new projects and all of that or modify projects. This is something that we experienced last year and this year again. It now leaves the question about who is supposed to do what."! Not surprisingly, the barefaced accomplices in the 2015 NASS leadership coup de tat, Senator 'Bukola Saraki and Mr. Yakubu Dogara, have respectively remarked that they would neither surrender their constitutional powers nor become a rubber stamp to the Executive!

WOULD THE TALAKAWAS BENEFIT FROM THE 2017 BUDGET? There is credible assurance by the Change Administration that "PROMPT EXECUTION AND ACCOUNTABILITY" in all aspects of the much-cherished SOCIAL INTERVENTION PROGRAMMES (SIPs), which have been in the  front burner would continue unabated as CAPITAL PROJECTS in all sectors of the economy would be prioritized - especially when the INFLATION RATE HAD FURTHER DROPPED TO 16.25%  IN MAY FROM17.8%  AND THE CRUDE OIL BENCH MARK ON WHICH THE 2017 BUDGET IS PREDICATED WAS JACKED UP WITH $2 US DOLLARS FROM $42.5 TO $44.5   TO SUPPORT SIPs and also to pull Nigeria out of its economic recession which began last year in the midst of falling oil prices.
IN THE APPENDED BUDGET, A SUM OF N2.177.866.775.867 trillion, from the Consolidated Revenue Account, will be released for contribution to the Development Fund for Capital Expenditure, exclusive of Capital Expenditure in statutory transfers for the year ending on 31st December, 2017.

Also of note is the DIVERSIFICATION DRIVE OF THE ECONOMY away from OIL, and the attention focused on the NON-OIL SECTORS of Solid Mineral Resources/Agriculture, Tourism, Entertainment/Film Industry and Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMSEs), to shore up locally-generated revenues and more EXPORT earnings, which would greatly boost the economy if sustained and by extension increase the earning power of the WORKERS now that Labour Unions are agitating for an upward review of NATIONAL MINIMUM WAGE! The adage states that where there is a Will, there would certainly be a Way and, United we stand and Divided we fall!
NIGERIA WILL SURMOUNT THESE ETHNIC CHALLENGES AND BECOME STRONGER AS A NATION IN JESUS CHRIST'S NAME.AMEN! For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? (Mark 8:36).

IS NIGERIA JUDICIAL COUNCIL (NJC) OPPOSED TO THE ANTI-CORRUPTION CRUSADE?

ZION B-BC   NEWSLETTER.  

(Looking at Nigeria's Political System from a godly Perspective).

A Publication of the Zion Faith Bible-Believing Church, Kpeyegyi, Abuja Nigeria. [VOL. 6. NO 200. 11th June, 2017.} “…ONLY The Truth, Will Set You   Free! (John.8:32).

IS NIGERIA JUDICIAL COUNCIL (NJC) OPPOSED TO THE ANTI-CORRUPTION CRUSADE?               
[THE 200TH EDITION!]

When, for the very first time, the Primary domestic intelligence Agency, the Department for State Services (DSS), of the Federal Government of Nigeria executed a successful STING OPERATION on suspected corrupt serving Judges across the nation, on 8/9th October, 2016, political pundits predicted that nothing meaningful nor positive would come out of the exercise - which was blamed on the EXECUTIVE -  because they believed that the SPIRIT OF BROTHERLY FRATERNITY WITHIN THE JUDICIARY WOULD PREVAIL TO SET FREE THE ACCUSSED PERSONS - AND THEY WERE RIGHT!

Eight months after that operation, described as unheard of, unprecedented and unlawful by detractors of the WAR AGAINST CORRUPTION, even though they are aware that Judges were not above the LAW, one of the accused persons, Justice Adeniyi Ademola, was DISCHARGED AND ACQUITTED by his fraternal colleague on the BENCH following a "NO CASE SUBMISSION" by the defence counsel and was set free to go home to enjoy the sweat of his labours and RESUME AT HIS DESK for business as usual! He was among the SEVEN Justices investigated on after that STING OPERATION carried out by the DSS on 8/9th October, 2016.He and his wife Olabowale and Mr. Joe Agi, SAN, were arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes (EFCC), prosecutors on an 18- count charge bordering on criminal conspiracy to receive gratification in various ways contrary to Section 8( 1)(a) of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000 and items recovered from his home included the following: Large sums of money in foreign currencies; $121.279 US Dollars, 400 Euros, 110 Indian Rupees, £80 pounds sterling totalling several millions of naira and also TWO PUMP ACTION RIFLES! During his trial at the Law Court, evidences were adduced that the Judge transferred N175 million in TWO TRANCHES in N90 million and N85 million respectively to a property company through a Nigerian Bank and was also admitted in evidence that a litigant standing trial before the Judge bought a car worth over N7 million naira for Mr. Ademola junior!
That was not all, while the fate of ONE female Judge who was also on trial – Justice Ajumogobia, was yet to be decided, SIX Judges, who were about to be formally charged, were SUDDENLY RECALLED AND ASSIGNED TO DUTY POSTS BY THE NIGERIA JUDICIAL COUNCIL (NJC), who, arbitrarily decided that EFCC failed to file charges against them, months after their arrest and suspension .
Patriotic Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora shouted FOUL at the NJC'S DIRTY MOVE and wondered why EFCC would not APPEAL Justice Ademola's acquittal and also PRESS CHARGES against the SIX JUDGES, recently recalled by NJC. But we have it on record that EFCC has appealed against the acquittal of the Justice and also formally charged TWO of the recalled Judges to court on 8th June, 2017, for offences bothering on UNLAWFUL ENRICHMENT, CORRUPTION AND ATTEMPT TO PERVERT THE COURSE OF JUSTICE. The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Walter Samuel Nkanu Onnoghen has made it clear that the RULE OF LAW should be meticulously pursued in every arbitration resolution at the LAW COURTS because citizens and corporate organisations have the RIGHT OF APPEAL if dissatisfied with the outcome of any litigation.

At 57 years of Independence all Nigerians should collectively clamour for the entrenchment of the RULE OF LAW which remains the ONLY FOUNDATION on which an impeccable democratic norms could be established as enshrined in the Constitution and on which STRONG INSTITUTIONS COULD BE BUILT, instead of the trending YELLING for a BREAK-UP through diversionary tactics for RESTRUCTURING of the nation along ETHNIC IDEALOGIES!

WHY WOULD JUDGES COLLUDE WITH POLITICIANS TO DESPISE THE ROLE OF GOD IN THE AFFAIRS OF MEN? It is written: "The earth is the Lord 's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. ... Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord ? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation." (Psa. 24:1-5), and the Lord Jesus Christ also counselled in this manner in Mat 6:25-33 : "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? .......Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? ........ O ye of little faith?  Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? ...But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Without God they are all doomed.

"IN GOD WE TRUST" IS THE AMERICAN MOTTO. Why is the United States of America acclaimed as the country where the best global democratic principles are religiously practiced? It is because the RULE OF LAW was never compromised to favour any class of citizens of the super power nation! Every act of infringement of the due process of the law - be it civil or criminal infraction by any citizen or immigrant was always decided ACCORDING TO THE RULE OF LAW! STING OPERATION AGAINST JUDGES OR ANY CITIZEN FOR THAT MATTER IS A COMMON PHENOMENON IN AMERICA AND WAS NEVER CONSIDERED AN ANOMALY! 
Presidential powers were not forced on the 50 Federating States which have AUTONOMOUS STATUS when it comes to adjudicating over their territorial boundaries, constitutional/domestic issues, law-enforcement, internally-generated revenues, wealth-creation etc, and the same trend is applicable in Nigeria's Change Administration. The DSS was never used by the Executive to intimidate the Judiciary for any ulterior motive since the TWO ARMS of government - including the Legislature are all partners in progress in the WAR AGAINST CORRUPTION!

DONALD TRUMP'S DEBACLE! For instance, President Donald Trump, on assumption of office on 20th January, 2017, made good his campaign threat to enforce TRAVEL BAN on about nine selected Arab Nations, by signing a Presidential Order to that effect, but several States including New York, his home State and Washington, US Capital, challenged his authority; and six months on, the travel ban remains ineffective because he failed to follow due process of the Law! The order is presently being scrutinized at the Supreme Court for final arbitration which would prove if there was threat to national security by immigrants from those Arab countries! Donald Trump, has been on a HOT SEAT since his inauguration because his several UNSCRUPULOUS TWEETS and many un-presidential actions have embarrassed even his very close aides and are seriously causing ripples in almost every sector of his administration.

"ACCORDING TO THE LAW", the President is being investigated by the Senate in respect of his involvement with a Russian Syndicate which allegedly master-minded and rigged the 2016 Presidential Elections in his favour!  Though an impeachment move against Trump over this matter is not being contemplated at this time, it cannot be absolutely rule out, because he is also being accused of, "Obstruction of Justice", which is a criminal offence. However, Congress must establish that a sitting President has committed "high crimes and misdemeanours" for a successful impeachment which requires the House two-thirds and a two-third vote in the Senate - according to the law!
President Donald Trump has wide Federal but not dictatorial powers according to the American Constitution and if he had meticulously studied the sacred document, he would not have blundered into ordering those economically and financially viable States which contribute to the Federal coffers around like they were his errand servants!
DOES NIGERIA POSSESS WHAT IT TAKES TO OPERATE AMERICA'S SYSTEM OF PRESIDENTIAL GOVERNMENT? The answer in NO; because, at present, all 36 States have failed to harness their God-endowed natural mineral deposits for massive internally-generated revenues that would cater for the NEEDS of their people - instead they opted for the free monthly allocations from OIL REVENUES which was never disbursed to support State/Local Government social needs nor those of the poor masses, but illicitly diverted to their private pockets!
Protagonists of the much-taunted RESTRUCTURING OF THE NIGERIAN STATE SHOULD THEREFORE TAKE A CUE FROM THE AMERICAN FORMAT INSTEAD OF CLAMOURING FOR SECESSION OR REGIONALISM WHICH HAD ONCE BEEN  EXECUTED BUT FAILED!

NJC IS A MEDDLESOME INTERLOPER!
The Nigeria Judicial Council (NJC) is the only Constitutional Body responsible to INTERPRETE the law for disciplinary action against erring judges; therefore, every complaint against them must be reported to the body for necessary actions and sanctions against indicted members of the revered Bench. But, must those Judges still under EFCC investigations be recalled to sit in judgement over the INNOCENT COMMONMAN when there is no time limitation to the criminal matters against the Judges according to the Constitution? Should they be granted CLEMENCY in a matter which was still under forensic investigation!
Will the re-instated Judges not tamper with EFCC'S evidences now that they are BACK ON THE BENCH, which NJC has declared as their INALIENABLE RIGHT, though it is aware that EFCC has appealed against the "NO CASE SUBMISSION", that set Justice Adeniyi Ademola free? JUDGES CANNOT BE INSULATED FROM PROSECUTION! 
NJC SHOULD PUT ITS HOUSE IN ORDER BY CLEARING THE AUGEAN STABLE OF FRATERNITY JUDGES IN THEIR MIDST! THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE OF ALL THE EARTH WILL NOT SPARE ANY JUDGE FROM ETERNAL PUNISHMENT! AMEN. [Revelation. 22:11-15].
