PRESIDENT BUHARI IS LENDING CREDENCE TO RUMOUR MILLS!

Belatedly as it were due to persistent pressure from over 200 million Nigerians at home and the Diaspora, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR; succumbed to an address to the nation at 7pm Nigerian time on Sunday, 29th March, 2020, to update on all activities and achievements of the Centre for Disease Control [CDC], at Federal and States level to mitigate the Covid-19 pandemic as it negatively affected the socio-economic psyche and security architecture of the nation! Would you say it was better late than never?

The excitement and camaraderie which greeted President Buhari’s 2015/2019 victories at the electoral polls is fast fading out following the failure of his management team and handlers to re-package his ailing profile and keep him on his toes to perform creditably all of his national duties in the spirit and letter of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria!

A nation’s Commander-In-Chief needed not possess military prowess to be agile in emergency situations that demanded sagacity and alacrity but when such exalted personality happens to be a retired army general, he is extolled and celebrated as a natural asset at the call of duty in the Ops [operations room], on the field and trenches of national challenges! It is true that the President claimed during his first term electioneering campaign that he was a “reformed democrat”, and that he was “for nobody and was for everybody”, his body language in this second and last term is singing another song: “I am for me, me, mine and to mua!” If the foregoing assertion is untrue, why did the President delay for so long to rise to the occasion of current global Covid-19 pandemic which has negatively affected the socio-economic lives of the citizens and also the execution of the 2020 national budget and to re-assure the Talakawas [about three quarters of the entire population], who voted massively for him at both elections, that he would pilot the nation’s ship to safety no matter the storm! That he would remain at the helm of affairs to allay their fears, protect, succour and cushion all of their needs?

Between January-March 2020, President Buhari has travelled out of Nigeria twice: First to UK, London, in January on a working visit; and Second in February to Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, on another working visit; while no preparations were made at home to counter the imminent incursion of the novel coronavirus which was already devastating China, Europe, the Americas, etc.!

Apart from a short New Year message on 1st January, 2020, the President failed to appear either on national TV or host an organised Media chat to address the pressing national issue of the novel parasitical pandemic until Sunday, 29th March 2020, evening to do the needful and we want to believe that he would follow up to inspect the co-ordinated efforts of the Ministry of Health and the National Centre for Disease Control [NCDC], with the support of all NGOs, CSOs, Armed Forces/Police/para-military personnel on the field, to further douse public outcry and condemnation of such insensitivity of government at the Federal level!

All State Governors, without exception, have been up to the task in mitigating what could result in an upsurge of the virus in Nigeria if not professionally and meticulously handled through appeals for citizens’ co-operation in adhering to stringent measures of lockdown of public utilities [markets, worship centres, schools etc. ], that would affect social activities until the virus was totally subdued!

THE RUMOUR MILL WAS SUFFOCATED!
While Garba Shehu and ‘Femi Adesina, presidential aides on media and publicity, were busy trying to convince Nigerians that President Buhari’s style of governance was different from that of boisterous Mr. Donald Trump of the United States and other world Presidents/Heads of State, before the eventual Sunday broadcast, the social media went viral that the retired military general had tested positive along with his Chief of Staff, Mr. Abba Kyari, and had been smuggled out of Nigeria to a London Hospital, where they were receiving medical attention!

The Minister of Information was not left out in the defence of the President but suffice it to say that all of their actions were efforts in futility. We are aware that the President tested NEGATIVE to the coronavirus and that he is domicile, LIVE AND KICKING in Aso Villa, but he has to  come of his cocoon to prove that he is fit as fiddle to complete his assignment of nation building of which he took an oath to perform faithfully, creditably and diligently by stepping out of the Villa to inspect relevant structural facilities and boost the morale of all those dedicated to save the lives of others at the risk of their own!

President Buhari’s handlers are confused, flabbergasted; they have exhausted all the tricks of the book and could not even convince a kindergarten kid that their principal had ceased to run an open government since the beginning of his second and final term!
What does President Buhari intend to gain by being secretive? If he is sick, of course he is human and we will pray life, strength, vigour and vitality back into his system. If he was ever camera shy again, he could be accompanied by his associate, the amiable Vice President, Professor ‘Yemi Osinbajo, and they could do a teamwork (“collabo”), together. In fact, the people will love him for it because of his charisma! The President has constitutional powers to delegate authority to his ministers, but in a national emergency of this nature, the captain must take the rudder and be in full control!

SO RAPTURE OCCURRED AND WE DID NOT KNOW IT?
The sudden but unprecedented deadly and devastating attack of the alien novel Coronavirus disease in over 197 countries of the universe has nearly confused even staunch Christians that events leading to the “end of the world” had begun! But biblical Doctrine of Eschatology is very unambiguous in its documentation of sequences of world events that would consequently lead to future universal dispensations according to God’s divine plan for all ages!
First, each earth citizen will keep appointment with death (natural or unnatural), which separates physical body from the soul-spirit. Second, the soul-spirit departs to either Heaven or Hades where two things will happen:
In Heaven, the soul-spirit consciously awaits judgement and divinely-promised rewards;
In Hades, the consequence of eternal damnation awaits sinners! [Heb.9:27; Jn. 5:28-29; 2 Cor.5:8 ]. 
Third, while the soul-spirit waits, the event of RAPTURE – an event in which the Lord Jesus Christ suddenly returns to the earth - true believers living or dead will receive their resurrection bodies before a period of tribulation that would occur thereafter according to the scriptures. [1Tess. 4:13-18; 1Cor.15:52-58; Mat.24;21-22; Rev.13:1-18 ]. This peep into the Divine Calendar did not reveal any time frame except that RAPTURE would be very sudden and swift as in “the twinkling of the eye”!

HAS RAPTURE TRULY OCCURRED AND THE EARTH ALREADY EXPERIENCING TRIBULATION?
The following infallible facts according to the Word of God MUST occur for Rapture to take place:
Many false prophets shall arise to impersonate Jesus Christ and deceive many citizen of the earth
There shall be wars and rumours of war, nations shall rise against nations and kingdom against kingdom, there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in various places to usher the beginning of sorrows but not the end of the world.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
Signs of the Second Advent of the Lord Jesus Christ as he descends from Heaven would be revealed “with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise FIRST!”
Then, living Saints would be caught up together with the resurrected dead in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall remain with Him in Heaven forever! [1 Tess,. 4:15-18; 1Cor 15:50-58; Mat.24:29-31].

UNDERSTANDING THE TIMES AND EVENTS!
The Lord predicted that the pestilence in form of coronavirus presently devastating the universe was the beginning of sorrows and not celestial signs for the end of the world! It is a period of sober reflection for all nations to recognize the SOVEREIGNTY of God, repent from all forms of wickedness and let the will of God be done on earth as it is in Heaven! Rapture will be a surprise to the world just like the novel Covid-19! All Christians must be prepared per second, per second!
