BLOOD-SHEDDING WILL CEASE AS NIGERIANS FAST
AND PRAY EVERY WEDNESDAY WITHOUT CEASING!

The signs of the end-time according to biblical prophecies are very much around considering the manifestations of the wickedness of man against his fellow man as it had never occurred before!
Atrocities which have turned men and women into beasts that predate themselves viciously through kidnappings, murders, assassinations, banditry, militancy, terrorism, decapitation of humans, disembowelling of pregnant women to prove the worthlessness of human lives have become global phenomenon and Nigeria is not excepted!

Human blood-shedding became commonplace in Nigeria from the pre-independence elections, progressed into the senseless sectional military coups of 1966 which snowballed into the 30-month Biafra War between 1967-1970, and consumed not less than one million lives!
The use of the barrels of guns to settle conflicts became the norm throughout the almost 30 years of military rule in Nigeria and by the1999 change of guards (between the military and the politicians), the proliferation of arms, ammunitions, small weapons., big weapons, bazookas, rocket launchers etc, were securely in the hands of virtually every street guy and members of the underworld!

Ex-military Head of State, Aremu Obasanjo, was the first to test the murky waters of insecurity when he became the first elected president of the new democratic order and according to a recent BBC report, about 50,000 people were killed – excluding scores of undetected extra- judicial killings, high-profile assassinations/murders, during his two terms of eight years (1999-2007)! When his “third-term agenda failed he unabashedly and brazenly declared that the 2007 General Elections would be a "DO-OR-DIE mission for his ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and he made sure his threat because scores of innocent lives were lost!!

The bloodbath continued through Umaru Yar 'Adua /Ebele Jonathan’s PDP Administrations from 2007-2015 unabated - during which Boko Haram terrorism debuted in August 2009, and into President Muhammadu Buhari's APC Change Government, which took off in 2015! Fresh dimensions to the blood-letting became manifest from the year 2000, when the herders/farmers clashes reared its ugly head mostly across the middle belt States of Benue, Nasarawa and Niger, but has now become a national malaise, which places higher premium on cattle rather than human lives!

DEMONIC BLOOD-LETTING IS A GLOBAL SCOURGE!
Nigeria's predicament is not an isolated case but a global trend which confirms the signs of the end-time which are precipitated through man's sinfulness: homicides, drug abuse, prostitution, whoredom, homosexuality, body tatoos, sexual perversion/promiscuity, idolatry, satanic doctrines, stubbornness, false religion, flagrant disobedience/rebellion to God's holy commandments, all of  which were frequently reported by the Press/Social Media; documented and condemned by local/foreign servants of God, historians, scholars, professors and the academic, so that no one would claim ignorance of those laws which traversed the past, the present and also futuristic according to biblical ideologies, prophecies and eschatology!  “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. ........." (2 Tim. 3:1ff).

BUT THE NIGERIAN OPPOSITION POLITICIANS, HISTORIANS, PROFESSORS, SCHOLARS, ETC, TAKE EXCEPTION TO THE DOCTRINE OF GOD AS THE CREATOR OF THE HEAVEN AND EARTH AND ALSO, OF HIS SOVEREIGN POWER OVER ALL HIS CREATION! THEY ASSERT THAT NIGERIAN CALAMITIES AND WOES THROUGH PERENNIAL SECURITY CHALLENGES, WAS OPEN ENDED WITH THE CHANGE ADMINISTRATION OF PRESIDENT BUHARI, THE LORD'S ANOINTED CRUSADER WHOSE MANDATE IS TO SAVE THE NATION & ITS PEOPLE FROM PERISHING THROUGH THE SINFUL NATURE OF AVARICE/AGGRANDIZEMENT (THE LOVE AND GREEDY ACCUMULATION OF MONEY), INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION WITH IMPUNITY, ADULTERY, FORNICATION ETC; WHICH ATTRACT DIVINE PENALTY OF DEATH! (ROMANS: 3:23; 6:23).

GOD REMAINS THE SUPREME AUTHORITY OVER HIS CREATION! (PSALM. 24:1-10).
Every people or nation, that refuses to acknowledge GOD'S Sovereignty as superior to its constitution, social legislations and its limited comprehension of the divine nature of GOD, is definitely bound to perish!
Most Nigerians who are treading the path of Godless existence and are, through careless vituperations in respect of trending social events and are pretending to forget that there would be severe consequences whenever the doctrine of sowing and reaping was abused, would ultimately  face the punishment of self destruction!
TWO prominent Nigerians who aptly qualified to be honoured and celebrated as elder statesmen, attracted international headlines through subtle indictments of the sitting President, Muhammadu Buhari, who in their opinion was incapable to effectively handle the security architecture of the nation!
In an umpteenth "Open Letter", ex-President Aremu Obasanjo, stated among several other things, that the incumbent head of government could no longer continue to be "nonchalant in respect of tackling escalating security challenges" across the geo-political zones. Obasanjo's latest open letter was that of a glaring defeatist, who would not honourably throw in the towel after all of his boasting as the KINGMAKER of the Nigerian politics, fell like a pack of cards at the 2019 polls which opposition candidate, Atiku Abubakar woefully lost!
THE SECOND elder statesman, erudite scholar and Nobel Laureate, Professor 'Wole Soyinka, in a recorded interview, also took a swipe against President Buhari, whom he claimed could no longer pilot State affairs creditably in view of his incompetence to stem killings and bloodshed, in the nation, because the daughter of the leader of the Yoruba socio-cultural group, AFENIFERE, nonagenarian, Pa Reuben Fasoranti, Mrs. 'Funke Olakunrin, was murdered on the highway between Ore and Akure, South West Nigeria, by bandits, on Friday, 12th, July, 2019!
A THIRD Nigerian personality, ex- President Ebele Jonathan described, 'Funke Olakunrin's murder as "an act of terrorism" and implored President Buhari to implement recommendations of the 2014 National Conference Report (convened during his tenure and which he could not implement due to massive condemnation), to solve the intolerable security challenges! "When beggars die there are no comets seen, The Heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes." Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar’s”.

SOLUTIONS PROFFERED BY OBASANJO & COMPANY SOUNDED LIKE A BROKEN RECORD AS THEY WERE DEVOID AS USUAL OF SUGGESTIONS FOR DIVINE INTERVENTION THROUGH NATIONAL PRAYERS/FASTING/REPENTANCE! None of the armchair critics called for national repentance and that citizens should unite in diversity and together build an egalitarian society where equal opportunities, justice, fair play and equity would be ensured for everyone! WE ADVOCATE WEDNESDAYS PRAYER-FASTING

PRESIDENT BUHARI'S MAIN FOCUS ON SECURITY, ECONOMY AND THE ON-GOING ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE WAR AGAINST CORRUPTION HAVE DOVETAILED INTO THE SECOND TERM NEXT LEVEL AGENDA SEAMLESSLY IN SPITE OF LOUDMOUTHS! In response to all criticisms, the President enjoined the commentators to focus more the unity of the nation instead of exaggerating few isolated cases of crime out of proportion!

TAI SOLARIN CONFESSED THE SUPREMACY OF GOD BEFORE HIS DEMISE!
A SELF-ACCLAIMED ATHEIST, LATE TAI SOLARIN, founder, proprietor, and principal of MAYFLOWER COLLEGE IKENNE, South-West Nigeria, who spent his entire life to propagate the doctrine of non-existence of the Almighty GOD, eventually acknowledged and confessed that he had an encounter with the SOVEREIGN GOD shortly before his demise. BOTH Obasanjo and Soyinka, coming from the same State and geo-political zone, have portrayed themselves not only as parochial, partisan, chauvinistic, ethicist, nepotistic, tribalistic etc, but have allowed senility to rob them of the salient/pressing need to harness Nigeria's adversity positively to unite the nation during their lifetime! What legacy do they intend to bequeath to posterity by sidelining TRUTH for tribal sentiments and HONESTY for farce?
COMING SHORT OF ACTUALLY ACCUSING PRESIDENT BUHARI OF THE MURDER OF 'FUNKE OLAKUNRIN, according to a virally publicised claim by 'Yinka Odumakin, Publicity Secretary to the South-West socio-cultural group, AFENIFERE, the two elder statesmen through their comments, subtly gave credence to the unfounded, unsubstantiated and ridiculous fallacy! Although fingers pointed to members of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), when allegations that armed "Fulani herdsmen" attacked the vehicle of 'Funke Olakunrin, the group had commiserated with Pa Fasoranti and denied that its members had no hand in the dastard crime! On that same fateful Friday,10 citizens were killed by bandits in Katsina State! They and many others after them in the following days, were unsung nor celebrated in death, but government is resolved to win the battle against terror with all hands on deck.

IF PROFESSOR 'WOLE SOYINKA WERE NIGERIA'S PRESIDENT!
Prof. 'Wole Soyinka: an articulate, sagacious and intelligent man of Letters, for whom we have great respect was definitely not cut out for Nigerian dirty politics! Having watched the internationally-acclaimed Nobel Laureate for Literature and scholar for decades, we came to the conclusion that each time he dabbled into national controversies; he always left the scene more confused than he found it! Now that he is advancing in age, he had gone native, tribal and nepotic as it suits his whims and caprices! If he were to replace President Buhari in 2023, would he perform better?

It was high time Nigerian leaders and politicians began to shun the bequeathed ANCESTRAL IDOLATRY LIFESTYLE and the current incessant EPIDEMIC AND ENDEMIC VIRAL CANAL SINS, call upon GOD for forgiveness and solutions to myriad of self-inflicted security challenges of the nation instead of seeking for non-existent SCAPEGOATS! ‘’If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land" (2 Chronicles. 7:14).
