Osun State 2022: Oyetola, Adeleke, Lasun, 12 Others Battle For Governorship
~1.4 mins read
Residents of Osun State, South-west Nigeria, will today go to the polls to elect their next governor.
 
The Osun governorship election is one of the eight off-cycle elections in the country and the second to be conducted this year by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
 
A total of 15 candidates will participate in today’s process. They are the incumbent, Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who is seeking a second term in office; Ademola Adeleke, a former senator, who is the flag bearer of the main opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP); and Yusuf Lasun, a former deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, who is the candidate of the Labour Party (LP).
 
The others are Akinade Ogunbiyi of the Accord Party (AP); Akinrinola Omigbodun of the Social Democratic Party (SDP); Segun Awojide, (AAC); Atanda Kehinde (ADP); Awoyemi Adedapo (BP); Rasaq Saliu (NNPP); Abede Samuel (NRM); Ayowole Adedeji (PRP); Ademola Adeseye (YPP); Awoyemi Lukuman (APM); Adebayo Elisha (APP); and Adesuyi Olufemi (ZLP).
 
Although all the candidates campaigned and canvassed votes, the election is expected to be a two-horse race between the APC and the PDP.
 
It is an opportunity for the people of the state to either replace Mr Oyetola or approve his continuation in office for another four years.
 
With 1,463,470 eligible voters armed with their PVCs out of a total of 1,955, 657 registered voters, the election is sure to be a make or mar exercise.
 
The election will be contested in all the 30 local government areas, comprising 332 wards and 3,763 polling units.
 
The electoral commission, INEC, has assured of its readiness to conduct a successful poll. The police and other security agencies have heavily deployed their personnel to protect the ballots and ensure a peaceful process. Civil Society Organisations (CSO) have similarly deployed observers across the 30 year old state. Media organisations are set to give it adequate coverage.

Reason Why Being Good Is Not A Guarantee For Success
~2.1 mins read
 A lot of people mistake being good as a road to success or making it well in life but that's not true. Mind you and not saying that good people can't make it in life or become successful, they can. All am trying to point out is, that's not a guarantee for success, is not a must that if you're good, have a nice character and obey rules that you will excel. Some say it's luck, some say it's God's grace but which ever one I believe is God's doing.

It is clear, then that God's promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was not because he trusted God to keep his promise. So if you still claim that God's blessings go to those who are "good enough", then you are saying that God's promises to those who have faith are meaningless and faith is foolish. Romans 4:13_14.
We don't know it all, there is a lot to learn and understand about this life. We don't need to compare ourselves with one other because we might not carry the same faith. We have to stop thinking that someone is making it or deserves to make it because the person is "good enough", I mean in this very context.


Seriously, is not easy to be good and be doing the right thing in this present times because a lot of things that happen around will discourage you. I have noticed and also heard people ask " why do bad people make it more than the good ones?" And the funny thing is, most of them get off scot free with it like nothing happened.

"Listen, you have said, it is foolish to worship God and obey him. What good does it do to obey his laws, and to sorrow and mourn for our sins? From now on, as far as we're concerned,"Blessed are the arrogant." For those who do evil shall prosper,and those who dare God to punish them shall get off scot free ".
Then those who feared and loved the lord spoke often of him to each other. And he had a book of remembrance drawn up in which he recorded the names of those who feared him and loved to think about him.
" They shall be mine", says the lord of hosts, "In that day when I make up my jewels. And I will spare them as a man spares an obedient and dutiful son.
Then you will see the difference between God's treatment of good men and bad, between those who serve him and those who don't. Malachi 3:14_18

I will encourage the good ones to keep being good not just because you're expecting something from someone or because you want to make it which I know everyone wants to make it, but be good for your own good and because you want to be good. Don't be discouraged by what you see, all hands are not equal and also have faith to make it in your own way.

Why You Should Not Joke With Government Work
~3.1 mins read
Honestly, the way I used to view government work in past is different now after learning this information.  I know very well how foolish it sounds but sincerely, what I read today in the Bible was so shocking to me and it left thinking about a lot of things which I will let you know after I must have penned down what I read from the Bible this morning.

 Obey the government, for God is the one who has put it there. There is no government anywhere that God has not placed in power. So those who refuse to obey the laws of the land are refusing to obey God, and punishment will follow. For the policeman does not frighten people who are doing the right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So if you don't want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. The policeman is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he will have you punished. He is sent by God for that very purpose. Obey the laws,then,for two reasons: first, to keep from being punished, and second, just because you know you should.
Pay your taxes too, for these same two reasons. For government workers need to be paid so that they can keep on doing God's work, serving you. Pay everyone whatever he ought to have: pay your taxes and import duties gladly, obey those over you and give honor and respect to all those to whom it is due. Pay all your debts except the debt of love for others_ never finish paying that! For if you love them, you will be obeying all of God's laws, fulfilling all his requirements. Romans 13:1_8

I don't know if you are thinking what am thinking because am lost in thought right now. Am just imagining how government workers are doing God's work. Seriously, am confusing because this is the first time I am reading this. Honestly am finding this very difficult to believe that politicians in government are doing God's work and my country is still like something that does not have adjective that can be used to qualify, in this present state. May God help us in this government because we need God's intervention to survive. Anyway, is not only my country that needs God's help, so do other government in all the world needs it because is God's work.

I was thinking is only church work that is God's work but now I have seen it that church is just like a government since both are God's work. Hmm, you don't need to be a pastor or a reverend to do God's work because we now have another option which is to be a government worker. At least people should take it easy the way they are saying am doing God's work because as it is, everyone is doing God's work in one way or the other, maybe as a leader in church or in government. Even paying tax to the government and paying tithes and offering to church are still God's work and we are supporting God's work by paying those things.

Finally, I pray to have calling to work in government because somehow I want to do God's work. Am glad I can live a normal life and still be doing God's work.
Las las, I want to urge you to choose wisely where you want to do God's work and serve the people of God after you must have read this article.
Am so grateful to God for making me gain this knowledge and also for helping other people change their mind to do God's work just like I did, then those supporting God's work will happily keep supporting.

The Reason Why No One In All The World Is Innocent.
~3.6 mins read
Take it or leave it, this is a confirmed fact that am about to discuss with you. Think about this carefully and observe what am telling you to find out for yourself. As the scriptures say, "No one is good_no one in all the world is Innocent." No one has ever really followed God's paths, or even truly wanted to. Every one has turned away; all have gone wrong. No one anywhere has kept on doing what is right; not one. _Romans 3: 10_12
Please there is no perfect person in the world no matter how good him/ she seems to be or claims to be. Not even our parents or our spiritual directors, there is no exceptional provided you are a human in this world so don't be deceived from what you see or hear.
In fact, all the world stands hushed and guilty before Almighty God but the funny thing is that most people end up criticizing what they are guilty of even when they know deep down that they are not perfect.
You have no right to criticize your brother or look down on him. Remember, each of us will stand personally before the judgement seat of God. Yes, each of us will give an account of himself to God. So don't criticize each other anymore rather do that for a positive response. Try instead to live in such a way that you will never make your brother stumble by letting him see you doing something he thinks is wrong. _Romans 14: 12,13

I have noticed and strongly believes that human is selfish in nature. The truth is that we know ourselves and i believe you understand what am trying to say.
A lot people have different ideas from yours about what is right and wrong and you shouldn't find fault or look down on people with different view from yours. People tends to support what they feel is the right thing because they do it and term the wrong, the ones they don't feel comfortable doing and sometimes, maybe later in life when they find themselves doing what they termed wrong they will either find excuse to justify themselves or they will end up saying it depends on the situation because it's not really wrong. Don't do anything that will cause criticism against yourself even though you know what you do is right.
Some think that Christians should observe the Jewish holidays as special days to worship God, but others say it is wrong and foolish to go to all that trouble, for everyday alike belongs to God. On questions of this kind everyone must decide for himself. If you have special days for worshipping the lord, you are trying to honor him; you are doing a good thing. So is the person who eats meat that has been offered to idols; he is thankful to the lord for it; he is doing right. And the person who won't touch such meat,he,too,is anxious to please the lord, and is thankful.
For, after all, the important thing for us as Christians is not what we eat or drink but stirring up goodness and peace and joy from the holy spirit. If you let Christ be lord in these affairs, God will be glad; and so will others. In this way aim for harmony in the church and try to build each other up.
 You may know that there is nothing wrong with what you do, even from God's point of view, but keep it to yourself; don't flaunt your faith in front of others who might be hurt by it. In this situation, happy is the man who does not sin by doing what he knows is right. But anyone who believes that something he wants to do is wrong shouldn't do it. He sins if he does, for he thinks it is wrong, and so for him it is wrong. Anything that is done apart from what he feels is right is sin. Romans 14.

This chapter of the Bible ( The living Bible) above was focused more on criticism and the diversity in belief and religion. I just realized that the Bible recognized, that difference and we are not allowed to either judge or criticize whatsoever and we have to simply accept that fact the way it is.
Now do you see it? No one can ever be made right in God's sight by doing what the law commands. For the more we know of God's laws, the clearer it becomes that we aren't obeying them; his laws serve only to make us see that we are sinners. Romans 3:20
And so, dear people of the world, I plead with you to take it easy with religion fight and discrimination because we all are still in the same ship as it seems.
Finally, I will like to conclude with a bible verse that I feel, it says it all.
Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think. Then you will learn from your own experience how his ways will really satisfy you. Romans 12:2

TITLE: NEVER LOOK DOWN ON ANYONE !!!
~1.7 mins read
TITLE: NEVER LOOK DOWN ON ANYONE !!! 

School Days are the Best and 
Also the Happiest 
I remembered 
When I was in Class two 
Walking in that lonely Street 
Of Baku 
Smiling and playing 
With my Crew 
We made promises 
That we will never break 
We gave each other names 
My best friend was lil Wayne 
And I was Drake 

Sometimes mama don't have 
Money to gave us 
We walk from mountain cut 
To Waterloo
Our prayer was 
"Oneday we sef go blow"
Their was no money 
To take school Bus 
Our motto was 
"In God we trust"

We were the bad boys 
In our school 
Because we are poor 
The rich kids 
Called us fools 
Some even called us ghouls

Sometimes we went to school 
With no pen 
But we came back 
Home with pens 
They use to call us the wise men

But we know that 
God will never leave us like that
At that time 
When you are poor 
The only person you chat with
Are the poor 
Even PTA meeting 
They never allowed our parents to speak
And if they absent for that meeting 
The teachers will flog us 
During that whole week

Today we thank God 
For our lives 
The poor Boys 
Are living in a mansion and 
They are happy with 
Their kids and their beautiful wives 

My advice is that 
Don't look down on anyone 
The person you called nobody yesterday 
Is now a successful man today
