And if you faithfully obey the voice of the LORD your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.
And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, if you obey the voice of the LORD your God.

Blessed shall you be in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field.

Blessed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your cattle,
...the increase of your herds and the young of your flock.

Blessed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.

Blessed shall you be when you come in, and blessed shall you be when you go out.

“The LORD will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before you.
They shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

The LORD will command the blessing on you in your barns and in all that you undertake. And he will bless you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
The LORD will establish you as a people holy to himself, as he has sworn to you, if you keep the commandments of the LORD your God and walk in his ways.

And all the peoples of the earth shall see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they shall be afraid of you.
And the LORD will make you abound in prosperity, in the fruit of your womb and in the fruit of your livestock and in the fruit of your ground, within the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give you.
The LORD will open to you his good treasury, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. And you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.
And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail, and you shall only go up and not down, if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, being careful to do them,
...and if you do not turn aside from any of the words that I command you today, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

I helped a wandering man out of a ‘gutter’ that he fell into last night, I didn’t know who he was until he dusted himself and started speaking one of the most amazing English I’ve heard.

He is a retired professor, begging for money to eat, he looked lost and my heart sunk.
I asked him, “Sir, what do you want?” he said he’s cash strapped and he doesn’t have any money to eat.

I gave him some money and asked him to wait for the food to be ready, then he started narrating his experiences (whether true or not I can’t state categorically for now)
Apparently, he started life very well, he lived the vibrant part of his whole life abroad (teens-60+), got married to a white lady, thought he was going to spend the rest of his life there, something happened and he lost everything, as he emphasized “EVERYTHING”

A young man lost his mother last Friday. On Monday, he went to his neighborhood to get his wife and daughter.

He drove up a slope and on his way down, his brake failed, the car then ran into a woman in her shop.

Angry mob arrived and they beat him so badly that he lost an eye.
This guy and his late mom grew up in the neighborhood, he is well known, but that didn’t stop the people at Sabo’s Jungle Justice because someone said the woman had died.

They broke his car windshield, dragged his wife on the floor and threatened to kill him.
They didn’t care for the woman who was injured, they left her on the floor right there as the others attacked the driver. They hit him countless times in the head and on the left eye with planks that blood began to gush out of the eye.

Mbappe knows the greatest of all time, if he ever had the chance to play with him, he won’t turn it down and throw tantrums.

2. Without him, PSG don’t look so unbeatable anymore, their front line will lose a chunk of pace.
3. Mbappe knows he is his own chance of winning the UCL, he is not like some players who will send text messages begging Neymar to come back so they can win the UCL. You know the players who promise and fail, as they ghost in the latter stages of the UCL KO phase.
4. Staying for longer means he’d sigh a 5-6 year contract, which means his career most likely end at PSG.

Mbappe is not stupid like some players like Harry Kane and another I don’t want to mention who would sign a contract extension because of money and end up tied.

They shared iphone 12pro max and IPads at a Nigerian wedding recently.

Nigeria really progressed under Buhari.

6 years ago, Our integrity messiah couldn’t afford a presidential campaign ticket because there was no money on grand.

6 years of growth📈
Adieu mama Hajiya Fati Koko.

We won’t forget you donated your life savings of N1,000,000 to the Buhari campaign. That moment of selflessness ushered us into this period of so much winnings, so much that we can use N650,000 phones and $600 ipads as souvenirs in a wedding.
Mr Suleiman Hashimu

We will never forget your 750km walk to usher in this new era.

We are proud of you. Even though dailypost posted that you regretted the trek, we still see you as one of our heroes. ImageImage

Jealousy? Bad Belle? That’s not entirely true.

“Araba” was borne out of anger and a charge for violent revenge.

There was jubilation right after the Jan 66 coup, but a moment of damning realization of the sectional composition of the Jan 66 plotters changed everything. 1/
Agunyi Ironsi contributed a lot to his own downfall too.

A bit of history:

During the 1954 constitution conference in London, Obafemi Awolowo (AG party) tabled a motion to the effect that a right of secession (secession clause) should be enshrined into the constitution of the emerging Nigerian nation to allow any part of the... 1/
..emergent nation to opt out of Nigeria, should the need arise.

The NCNC through Nnamdi Azikiwe vehemently rejected the motion saying that once we have a federation, we are indivisible and perpetual.

That is, “Nigeria’s unity is non-negotiable”.

2/
The expression— “The indivisibility and perpetuity of the federation” popped out from there. They also went further by saying to Secede from the Newly Formed Nigeria would amount to Treason.

Due to sustained opposition from NCNC and NPC, Awolowo and the AG were forced..
