1. We have this mindset that church is a place we go to on Sundays. As we get our family dressed, fight through traffic and get a good seat, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that we aren’t just going to church; we are the church.
2. When Jesus said, "... I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it" Matt 16:18, He was saying the Church—His chosen people—would not die out. It would be a caring body of believers striving to serve God, do His work & support each other.
3. In 1 Timothy 5, Paul describes the church as people dedicated to doing whatever it takes to reach out and help others. We have a responsibility to serve and help others in need as the church.
4. In the Bible, church is always a reference to people, not a place. The church is a body of believers that live out the Gospel in their words & actions. The church is at its best when people inside the building take Jesus’ message outside the building and serve those they meet.
5. I am the church! You are the church! We are the church together! All who follow Jesus, all around the world! Yes, we're the church together! The church is not a building, the church is not a steeple, the church is not a resting place, the church is YOU & I.
Shalom.

**The Truth behind Sanwo Olu’s proposed cancellation of pension payments to Tinubu, Fashola and Ambode*
Sanwoolu must tell Lagosians the truth behind the proposed cancellation of former Governors’ pensions instead of presenting it like an altruistic action ....
*The facts:* 1. Ex-Governors are being paid humongous pension packages, after their tenors, by a lot of States.
2. The Pension Reform Act of 2004 changed Nigerian Pension system from Defined Benefits to Defined Contributions.
3. This means that private and public sector workers can only be paid pensions from the funds they contributed while in active pensionable work.
*The Oba's Palace we knew before Akiolu was crowned*
How did we get to this level at Isale Eko, Lagos Island?. Well, let us remember how the palace used to be during the time of Oba Adele and Oba Adeyinka Oyekan(Papa).
2. The palace was usually opened from morning till night like a police station or hospital. People go there freely to play football and Papa will be at the balcony watching games and even reward any player that impressed him.
3. People were even allowed to hold parties on the palace ground. However, when Oba Akiolu came he doubled the fence, turned the football pitch to swimming pool, mounted a big fence and gate, put SARS at the gate to block all the Isale-Eko people from accessing the palace.
Buhari told former Nigerian leaders that #EndSARS protesters ‘gradually turned violent’ after the government conceded to their demands.
The former heads of state were unanimous in their advice to Buhari that generation of employment and growing the economy including through direct foreign investments were critical to checking youth restiveness and that the president should endeavor to work on it.
The former Leaders commended the actions taken by Governors to address the demands of the #EndSARS protesters and their efforts to check the excesses of those who perpetrated violent acts and conduct.
1. When @segalink posted a tweet that some people are trying to hijack #endsars, many undesirable elements here called him names. Yes, l called you undesirable elements, l don't give the f*ck who u are.
APC boys deliberately used majority of the docile-minded ones to attack him.
