It Is Beautiful To See Things Develop For All – There’s Indeed No Place Like Home!

Flying into the country from my base in the United States of America can be such a chore for me sometimes, and that’s because Nigerian airspace is so easily identifiable once you enter it, especially at night.

As my flight had edged into my motherland’s airspace, I was instantly greeted by the familiar sight of “NEPA’s” diligent blackouts all over the land, and I couldn’t help the sad sigh that escaped my body.

However, after landing in Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria, the journey to my native Ezumoha, Isiala Mbano held so many pleasant surprises for me, and I must confess that they deeply gladdened my heart. Oh, yes, I am so happy, and I felt to share my experience and appreciation as I remembered everything again right now.

How can I even forget about it, though – the sweet development and progress I have come to encounter in this village during this visit are not only very heartwarming for me but also super encouraging that the future indeed holds more great and pleasant things for my people and hopefully this country, too.

According to reports, many of the admirable developments in the community are projects sponsored by the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC). Being someone who is well versed in how things like this work in the Nigerian polity, I must sincerely commend all those who brought the attention of the Commission to these communities in Imo State, Nigeria, and also helped ensure that these projects were completed in record time and to world-class standards.

I mean, I cannot remember the last time that my drive through these communities has been this smooth and super comfortable. Ezumoha now has an impressively good road network that covers Anara, Umunakwa Hall, Umuarodo village in Ezumoha, my Obiukwu Duru and isi’obiama compound Road, Umunachi, Umakam, Oboh, and many other parts, and I am so excited and happy to see this.

Dr. Sandra Duru ( Prof. Mgbeke )

The truth is that I had come into the country and headed straight to Imo State to attend several private, business, and political matters and meetings. One of these included a crucial meeting with a gubernatorial aspirant/candidate that I had accepted to be his running mate for the next elections in the State. However, due to what I have seen and am still seeing in several communities I’ve already visited, I will no longer be running for office with my principal for now.

I have never been one to shy away from living or speaking the truth boldly, undiluted, and without fear or bias, and I assure you that this is not about to change now or ever. I know many people have been waiting to read and see what I have to say about many things currently happening in Nigeria, but I have honestly been too perplexed to speak.

Due to the alarmingly pathetic and shambolic way, things were conducted during the last general elections, I had even restrained myself from congratulating someone like Princess Miriam Odinaka Onuoha, who returned elected as the Federal House of Representatives member representing Okigwe North Federal Constituency.

Princess Miriam Odinaka Onuoha recently returned elected as the Federal House of Representatives member representing Okigwe North Federal Constituency and is doing remarkably well.

I also had issues with a good son of mine, Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, when he first told me not to listen to all I saw online against Governor Hope Uzodinma because it was propaganda, but I’m happy to see for myself now that he was right all along.

As much as I do not like the governor’s political party for many obvious reasons, I cannot but admit that I love the results he is presently delivering, and, as surprising as it may sound, I am firmly convinced that he deserves another term and even other opportunities to continue these laudable works and projects he has started – either directly or indirectly.

My good son, Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, had told me not to listen to all I saw online against Governor Hope Uzodinma.

Governor Uzodinma isn’t the only governor Imo State has had while the NDDC has been in operation. Still, he looks to be delivering and succeeding where his predecessors, including even Rochas Okorocha and others, failed woefully. All the people experienced with them were empty words and promises, but now it looks like there is indeed Hope in Imo State.

My decisions and stand now are also further bolstered by the fact that I had called the governor and Hon. Princess’s attention to some of the projects that have been beautifully done and already commissioned now in October 2022, and they had promised that action would be taken on them. Honestly, I didn’t expect anything because I never believed they had the people’s interests at heart due to the many damaging reports I constantly see about them online.

Governor Hope Uzodinma looks to be succeeding well where his predecessors failed woefully.

However, they have proved me entirely wrong with all I have seen firsthand so far, and I am not one to be proud to admit when I am wrong about anything. An important lesson for everyone here, too, is to never judge people by what you hear and read online only, but try to see things for yourself before concluding.

Again, I am delighted about all I am seeing in Imo State presently, and I not only sue for continuity by asking that we allow Governor Uzodinma to continue the good works but also urge all well-meaning, qualified, experienced, and resourceful people home and abroad to please join forces with him also to improve the security, welfare, healthcare system, and other remaining areas of the State. He looks reformed and willing to cooperate and listen now, and this will be for the benefit of everyone in our great State and beyond!

Former Governor Rochas Okorocha did not deliver on any of the projects Governor Uzodinma is effortlessly executing presently

Finally, I pray that may the good Lord continues to bless and increase all those involved in these projects in one way or the other. May HE impress it upon the hearts of all those in places of authority to do even more good for all the people and communities they were elected and selected to serve. And may we all continue to prosper, even as Nigeria thrives and breaks out of the shackles of obscurity and wicked leadership, in the name of Jesus Christ; Amen!

These developments, and some awesome people I’ve been able to spend a few days with here, have made this trip pretty worthwhile for me. I look forward to more shortly. And, who knows, Prof. Mgbeke may pass through your neighborhood during this visit, too.☺️

I love ❤️ you.

There Is Great Gain In Diligent Steadfastness – Congratulations, Rtd. IGP Solomon Arase!

The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, formally swore in Dr. Solomon Ehigiator Arase fdc, FCIArb, CFR, as the Chairman of Nigeria Police Service Commission (NPSC) in Abuja, F.C.T, Nigeria on March 29, 2023, and I couldn’t help but smile.

This is because this official confirmation of the latest feather in the highly decorated cap of the former Inspector-General of the Nigeria Police Force, Dr. Arase, firmly attests to and proves something that I have taught countless people online for many years now.

“The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: But the slothful shall be under tribute.” – Proverbs ‭12‬:‭24‬. These are the words and admonition of the wisest King Solomon, and they couldn’t be more accurate than they are today, as evidenced by Dr. Arase’s life.

A key and precious lesson for everyone to learn from his life is that no one can afford to be slothful, lackadaisical, or impassionate about anything that’s committed into their hands to do. There is great gain in being diligent and steadfast and having an unquenchable penchant and thirst for excellence in all things, as evidenced by the former IGP’s life.

You may recall that the Nigerian Senate had confirmed his appointment as the new NPSC Chairman in January 2023, and he took his oath of office before the commencement of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, which was held at the council chamber, Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, F.C.T, Nigeria.

As the nation and his family, friends, and loved ones celebrate with him today, I want to say that to God Almighty alone be all the glory, and also pray for him:

May you serve in good health and wisdom, and exceed our expectations, Dr. Solomon Arase, distinguished Chairman, Nigeria Police Service Commission…Amen!

Remain richly blessed always.

Key Lesson And Reasons Why Solomon Arase’s Appointment As Nigeria Police Service Commission Chairman May Be President Buhari’s Best Legacy In Nigeria!

When I read that the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, had appointed Solomon Ehigiator Arase fdc, FCIArb, CFR, as the Chairman Nigeria Police Service Commission (NPSC) in January 2023, I was not surprised but delighted that at last, some of our recommendations are being taken and acted upon.

I didn’t say or write anything about it initially because I chose to observe certain things for a little while before posting a public version of my congratulations to him. If there is anyone I can confidently call a father, uncle, brother, and reliable friend all rolled in one, he is undoubtedly one of such, as the history I share with him is pretty nostalgic and profound.

Hence I chose to hold back a little and allow many other people to do all the talking and congratulations first. Left to myself and him, they are all more like outsiders compared to our closely-knit family-like relationship and I have always cherished this fact.

President Muhammadu Buhari appointed Solomon Ehigiator Arase fdc, FCIArb, CFR, as the Chairman Nigeria Police Service Commission (NPSC) in January 2023, and it may be his best gift to Nigeria.

However, after having observed for a while, I feel it’s the right time to share my thoughts on his appointment and highlight a key lesson we can all learn from it here for everyone.

If the appointment of Solomon Arase is the only thing that President Buhari does for the people of Nigeria and the shambolic state of our nation’s security before he leaves office, it is one to be grateful for because I am very confident that this move will significantly improve the Nigeria Police Force and all her affiliate security agencies.

Why am I so sure about this? Well, from my years of knowing and working closely with him when I was the Principal Consultant for the same Nigeria Police Service Commission, I can boldly and categorically say one thing about him right now. Not only is Solomon incredibly vast in knowledge, international exposure, and immeasurable tactical acumen, but he is also a profound administrator with incredible skills in public relations, psychology, sociology, criminology, law, investigative reporting, and intelligence policing.

The highly decorated AIG Zubairu Muazu who was Head of Counter-Terrorism, Assistant Director, and later Head of Lagos State Operations of the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

This former Inspector General of Police of the Nigeria Police Force served as the 18th Nigerian IGP after Suleiman Abba was sacked, and the advancements, progress, and developments in every area of the Police Force were not only quite glaring but widely celebrated by all, too!

Those celebrated feats and laudable initiatives that he propounded and established in the NPF during his tenure were not flukes or one-off successes by any means, though, as he had already established a great name and an enviable track record for himself while he was stationed as the Head of the State Criminal Investigation Department (NPF SCID), Panti Street, Adekunle, Lagos State. This was evidenced by the several accolades and awards he won, including the National Police Medal in 2013), among others.

My encounters with him in Lagos State, Abuja, the United States of America, and some other parts of the world gave me an invaluable opportunity to glean so much from him as a great luminary of security, intelligence investigations, operations, law, conflict resolution, hostage negotiations, and so much more. Again, I boldly say that these are the grounds upon which my opinions about him are formed.

The former Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Marvel Akpoyibo mni, who eventually retired as an Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG).

We did have our ups and downs, as is typical in every family. Still, his incredible patience, humility, and remarkable ability to calmly listen and objectively respond to issues and anything happening around him gave him an uncanny ability to diffuse any tense situation and resolve things amicably and swiftly.

Oh, I indeed count myself very fortunate to have been under his tutelage and guardianship, along with other astonishingly great minds, including the former Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Marvel Akpoyibo mni, who eventually retired as an Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG), the extremely smart Late AIG Chris Olape, who served as a Commander at the Antibomb Squad, and later became the CEO of the Lagos State Traffic Authority (LASTMA); the highly decorated AIG Zubairu Muazu who was Head of Counter-Terrorism, Assistant Director, and later Head of Lagos State Operations of the Economic Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Head of the Special Fraud Unit (NPF SFU) in Ikoyi, and the NPF Airports Command in Lagos, and the ever irrepressible former Force Public Relations Officer and now Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Frank Mba.

The ever-irrepressible former Force Public Relations Officer and now Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Frank Mba.

Nigeria may not have been lucky enough to have all these men rise to the pinnacle of their careers in the NPF as the Inspector-General. Still, I assure you that we have been richly blessed and honored to have them lead in every capacity they have, and still do, in their careers – as is the case with CP Frank Mba and now Solomon Arase.

A vital lesson for everyone to learn from this incredible former NPF IG-cum-Chairman NPSC is that diligence and excellence will not only give you a name and honor that none can ever stand against or refute in your field but they will also make you indispensable and keep opening limitless doors of opportunities for you all through your life!

The wise King Solomon was not speaking gibberish or nonsense when he said: “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; He shall not stand before mean men.” – Proverbs ‭22‬:‭29‬.

Solomon Arase, Chairman, Police Service Commission

As evidenced by the life of this great former NPF IG, even when you have supposedly given your all, duly served, and retired, you will yet remain highly sought after. Your diligence and penchant for excellence will make kings and nations bring you out of retirement so that they may retain you in prominent positions of power where your undeniable positive effects can continue to be felt, experienced, seen, and enjoyed by all.

So, whatever is committed into your hands, like my beloved father, uncle, and friend, Solomon Arase, do it with all your heart and might. Ensure that you give nothing short of excellence and your very best always, and you will also be accorded this same level of honor, dignity, and respect in your life and even long after you’re no more.

Lessons For All As Drug Salvation Foundation Honors Nigeria Police FPRO, Muyiwa Adejobi

A prominent crusader against the illicit use and abuse of drugs and substances in Nigeria, The Drug Salvation Foundation (TDSF), has recently recognized and honored the relentless and valiant efforts of the Nigeria Police Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, mnipr, mipra, in the war against the scourge of drug abuse in the country.

The Ikeja, Lagos State-based addiction treatment center in Nigeria is widely renowned for its tireless work to create awareness and prevent the use of illicit drugs through education, counseling, motivation, awards, and other avenues.

Disclosing this via his personal social media platforms, the Force P.R.O expressed his delight about the development as he said:

“Thanks to Drug Salvation Foundation for this honor done on me as a crusader of Anti Drug campaign in Nigeria and across the world.

The Nigeria Police Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, mnipr, mipra

We will continue to work together to kick against drug abuse and misuse. It’s a collective responsibility because if we get it right on the fight against drugs, we are 90% successful in the fight against crimes and criminality.”

Well respected and loved within and beyond the police force, CSP Adejobi is fondly described as an astute police officer and a professional public relations practitioner with a keen eye for details, unflinching resolve and commitment to justice, and a calm, wise God-fearing demeanor that gives him a humane touch that many of his colleagues are constantly accused of lacking in the Nigeria Police Force.

An alumnus of the prestigious University of Ibadan, where he bagged his First Degree in Archaeology and Geography, CSP Adejobi, who is also a Prince, has been commended and duly recognized for his impeccable professionalism and admirable commitment to duties by several other bodies, organizations, and even States in the country including his native Osun State, Nigeria.

While his achievement and honor are well deserved and due to him, it also serves as a clarion call for many of us in the country because this fight is not only for the police and law enforcement agencies.

Drug and substance abuse has become a raving pandemic sweeping through the earth these days, and no country seems to be spared from its menacing and destructive touch.

However, as CSP Adejobi mentioned in his statement, if we all collectively get it right in this war against it, we would have practically also significantly curbed the menace of crime and criminality in our societies. This means a much better, peaceful, safer, and saner climate and world for our children and their unborn ones to grow and live well all their days.

If this isn’t more than enough motivation for everyone to join this crusade against illicit drugs and substance use, then we may never know what would be enough.

Major Question Arises As Nigerian Police Force Issues Release On Chude Nnamdi’s Arrest And Detention

Following a massive outcry on social media against the arrest and subsequent detention of a popular Nigerian Tweep named Chude Nnamdi, a detailed statement has been released by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to clear the air on the matter.

Signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the communique reads:

“The Nigeria Police hereby confirms that one Mr. Chude Franklin Nnamdi with Twitter handle ‘@chude__’ was arrested in Onitsha, Anambra State on the 18th of March, 2023, and he is being investigated by the Nigeria Police Force National Cyber Crime Centre (NPF-NCCC) Abuja, for cyberstalking, pursuant to a complaint received via a petition, about his activities on social media which contravene the provision of Section 24 of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015 and other criminal laws.

Furthermore, a prima facie case has been established against him while the case file has been forwarded to the Force Legal Department for further action.

The Nigeria Police Force, therefore, urges members of the public to familiarize themselves with the provisions of the law and be aware of the penalties for violating them most especially cybercrime laws with the new trends in the digital media space.

CSP OLUMUYIWA ADEJOBI, mnipr, mipra,
FORCE PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICER,
FORCE HEADQUARTERS,
Abuja.

22nd March, 2023.”

One major question that now prevails on the lips of many Nigerians is why does this alleged cybercrime unpleasantly coincide with the tweep’s reported brush-in with the Anambra State Governor, Charles Soludo?

You may recall that Chude had reportedly tweeted about the terrible attacks voters were subjected to in Anambra State by armed hoodlums and other miscreants who allegedly attacked people who refused to vote for their preferred candidate. He had also reportedly boldly called out the Governor for failing woefully to protect the citizens and residents of the State as their Chief Security Officer.

The question now is why he was apprehended immediately after those tweets and is being prosecuted for “activities contravening the law on social media,” even though the entire world sees that his tweets were a cry for help and protection from the same law.

This is in no way an excuse for people to subvert or contravene the laws of the land, but we strongly believe that these same laws should never become tools to witch-hunt and settle personal vendettas by “powerful and influential” people, too!

There is a price to pay for everything we all do in life and one day, we will get our due recompense, no matter what.

A True Friend Sticks Closer Than A Brother – Who Is Your Friend?

My beloved brothers and sisters, how are you all going today? It gives me so much pleasure to reach out to you again today, especially on such a special day as today, Mother’s Day.

Before I share the short message I feel in my spirit to talk to someone about out there today, I want to say this quick prayer for all our mothers here: May your labor of love, prayers, diligence, sacrifices, tears, pains, and genuine friendship over all your children never be in vain, in the name of Jesus Christ; Amen!

We celebrate our mothers today, not only because they carried us in their wombs and gave us life but also because a mother is the first true friend that any human being born of a woman ever has. Unless the woman is diabolically influenced negatively, or she’s just a “seed of the sergeant,” there is no mother that isn’t her child’s first friend and love!

After our mothers come to our siblings for some who are that lucky, though, as many people do not enjoy such joyous relationships with their brothers or sisters. However, even for those who do, something happened recently, that reminded me of these words of King Solomon below:

“A friend loveth all the time and he is a brother during the days of adversity.” – Proverbs 17:17.

A friend of one of my dear brothers hadn’t been in town for a while, and my brother had been hospitalized and subsequently discharged as an outpatient. Being single and all, my brother had been staying all by himself without little or no help at all from anywhere, but all that changed recently. Upon his return and finding out about his friend’s situation, the first thing he immediately did was to move him to his place so that he wouldn’t be alone anymore and his overall health could improve quicker.

When I heard about this, I was deeply moved and so glad, but this vital lesson jumped at me in the whole scenario almost immediately, too.

A friend that abandons you during your period of afflictions is a fair-weather friend and not an all-weather friend. From such people and so-called friends, you will do well to flee and separate yourself!

This scripture in Proverbs 17 is the true definition of who a true friend should be, and there’s even more in another chapter here below:

“A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: And there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” – Proverbs ‭18‬:‭24‬.

Today’s message asks us to examine ourselves and ensure we’re not with the wrong company and people because afflictions will surely come and go. However, if the people surrounding you desert and forsake you when they do, what point is there to such friendship?

Solomon said a friend sticks closer than a brother, so the question is: Who is your friend? What type of person are you in that relationship with? Are they only there when the going is smooth and sweet, or do they also support you even when things are rough and sour?

Finally, what type of friend are you to others too? As you look around you at others, please take a moment to introspect and honestly rate yourself. Are you the type anyone should and would be proud to call their friend? If you’re not, there’s no problem – this message may have been sent for you to see the error in your ways today and change for good.

But, if you are, I pray that your strength will never fail, and God will continue to bless and uphold you always, in the name of Jesus Christ; Amen!

3 Reasons Why Praise Is Much Better Than Prayer In Spiritual Warfare!

My fabulous Mgbekenized darlings, how are you all doing today? I hope this bout of cold and flu spreading worldwide hasn’t been able to keep you or your family down today.

I had the privilege of learning another great truth earlier today, and it is my pleasure to share it with you. There have been so many things and literature written about the efficacy and potency of prayers compared to praises, so I’m sure this subject is not entirely new to you.

“When prayer fails praises take charge and do wonders” – my husband said this while teaching me the importance of praises and so many things I am about to share with you here that I learned from him during our bedtime chit-chat last night.

However, do you know that no matter the avenue of reaching out to God you prefer, there are three fundamental reasons why you should consider praising more than praying while engaged in spiritual warfare? Here they are below:

(1) Prayer Is Unto God For You.

According to many theological definitions, a prayer is an act that involves you pleading God’s Word and precious promises over your life and all that concerns you.

When we pray to God, we are making requests of HIM through supplications and pleas and consistently putting HIM in remembrance about our situations so we can receive our desires from HIM. Hence, prayers are raised unto God as an act of worship, but they are essentially for us – HE has nothing to virtually benefit from them.

Don’t get me wrong, though; God loves it and commands us to pray always! As it is seen of Jesus Christ during HIS time on earth: “And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;” – Luke‬ ‭18‬:‭1‬.

The Apostle Paul also admonished us about this in his letter to the believers in Thessalonica. He said: “Pray without ceasing.” – ‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭17‬.

However, as much as we’re commanded to do this, we should also understand that prayers are unidirectional in terms of benefits for the parties involved. We are consistently asking during prayer and not giving. Even in your human relationships, wouldn’t you get tired if you have someone who never cares to give back to you in any way but is always demanding and very eager to take from you every day? Selah!

(2) Praises Are Unto God For HIM!

This is the opposite of my first point above, and this is easily evidenced even in our daily dealings with royalties, dignitaries, and top people around us in life.

In every custom and tradition worldwide, whenever anyone seeks an audience with a king, such must approach by singing and chanting the praises of that king to eulogize and curry favor and acceptance with them. How much more when you now do it to the King of all kings and the Lord of lords?

If anyone knew this truth most profoundly, I dare say it was King David! He says: “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” – Psalm‬ ‭100‬:‭4‬.

You must be thinking now that “but this is warfare, nah!” Yes, I hear you loud and clear, and I know it is warfare, yet I maintain that no amount of prayers can ever generate the mighty interventions your praises can raise!

Do you remember the story of Jehoshaphat and how God won a mighty tremendous victory for Israel in the book of 2 Chronicles chapter 20? That whole chapter embodies and displays the insanely awesome power that is in the praises of a believer who is faced with great battles and warfare!

“And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth forever. And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.” – 2 Chronicles‬ ‭20‬:‭21‬-‭22‬.

These are two of my favorite verses in that scripture, but I urge you to please read the whole chapter, and you will have an even deeper understanding of this mysteriously great power in praises.

Or was it the time that Joshua and Israel stood before the great wall of Jericho and had to bring it down? What did God command them to do before attacking the city? Raise prayers and supplications? No. Instead, they did what many regarded as “stupid” back then, but on the 7th day of “being stupid” before man by God’s instructions, Jericho’s mighty wall sunk into the ground before them as they lifted a shout of praise to Jehovah! Please read Joshua chapter 6.

(3) Praises Create An Atmosphere For God To Dwell In As Nothing Else Can!

One last reason I want to urge you always to praise more than you pray, no matter the battles raging against you, is because praises draw God down into our situations and locations when we raise them to HIM.

David again said: “But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in thee: They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.” – Psalm‬ ‭22‬:‭3‬-‭4‬.

God inhabits (dwells in) our praises as HIS children, and being in a continuous atmosphere of praises guarantees an ever-present filling of HIS presence, glory, and power. Remember how the temple of Solomon was dedicated, and what happened when the king had the priests and Levites bring in the Ark of Covenant in the proper way instructed by God?

“And it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD so that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.” – 1 Kings‬ ‭8‬:‭10‬-‭11‬.

God came down, and HIS glory filled the entire temple, so much that nobody could stand inside it again that day. This is how powerful our praises are when we lift them to HIM.

So, in conclusion, my darlings, the question is that, now that you know, which would you rather deploy always when faced with great warfare and battles – those long nights and hours of prayers you’re used to or the hugely potent praises you’ve discovered again today?

May God arise in HIS power, mercy, and glory, turn around your story, and restore your joy, finances, and happiness. Father, please show Yourself strong in the lives of your children and give us the wisdom we need to be all You have ordained us to be…Amen!

Remain richly blessed always.

5 Key Lessons For All As Cubana Chief Priest Responds To His Alleged Baby Mama In A Rather Distasteful Manner!

Another day, another trend of insanely disturbing, alarming, insanely annoying, and even tragic events in Nigeria.

As you already know, I do not get involved in everything that happens, or in every supposed “hot story” that breaks online. This platform is a tool divinely instituted for vital life lessons and the truth, above all any other things!

However, this recent messy incident between famous Lagos State, Nigeria socialite and hospitality tycoon Pascal Okechukwu aka Cubana Chief Priest, and his alleged Kenyan lover and baby mama is not one I can ignore anymore for a few obvious reasons.

While I am in no way claiming or stating that the disputed child is indeed Cubana Chief’s son, I do have a few points and lessons I want to draw out from the whole mess, and I would love for everyone to learn all we can from them.

The recent messy incident between Cubana Chief Priest and his alleged Kenyan lover and baby mama leaves a sour taste in the mouth with the immature and inhumane way he has handled it.

(1) How did things degenerate to the point where the alleged lover had to resort to crying out publicly in the first place?

After going through Cubana Chief Priest’s response to the blog that initially ran the story about his extra-marital affair, one thing stood out for me. His response was more about how the blog only wanted to tarnish his name and destroy his marriage, but no clear or deliberate effort was made to convincingly debunk the lady’s claim that they were lovers.

While I am not saying or denying that the child is his or not, I can not help but wonder why he never thought it wise to have handled this matter quietly and peacefully with the lady in question before it spun out of hand entirely like this.

Arrogance and pride goeth before a fall, and his attitude and response reek of these terrible qualities. It is quite certain that before the lady in question would have decided to reach out to any blogger, she must have tried severally to reason with him to no avail.

While I have and can never support any woman having an affair with a married man, I will never support a man abandoning an innocent child and absconding from his responsibilities as a father and a human being as well. This is a personal pain I have gone through and triumphed beautifully over, but I do not wish it even on my worst enemy at all!

A little patience, wisdom, and kindness from this man could have averted all this shameful display of their personal lives in public like this, but apparently, he seems to be “too rich and affluent” for such. What a terrible shame on him.

Cubana Chief Priest and his wife, Angel Gold Okechukwu.

(2) No matter the wealth and riches you think you have, you have no right and should never talk down on any person, race, or country!

One part of his statement to debunk the alleged story against him had me rolling on the floor because of his alarming stupidity, yet seriously pissed off, too, because of his callous insensitivity in how he tried to make and pass some of his points across.

According to him, he “assembles babies in Nigeria and makes them in America,” and “it’s a huge disrespect for his child to be born in Kenya.” If this is not the most incredibly daft, senseless, bigoted, tribalistic, and insanely poor statement I’ve ever heard anyone make, then it has to be right at the top with the lot.

What kind of money do you think you have that could ever make you talk down on an entire country and race, yet your randy private part could have an erection towards one of their own? This is both insanely stupid and disgusting at the same time!

If he wasn’t so daft and his own country was so great, why can’t he proudly have his legitimate children in his native Nigeria if he was truly so much better than a Kenyan?

This sickening attack on interracial relationships and marriages between our two countries by the Chief Priest DOES NOT represent any other person’s view and opinion but his bloated and egotistically daft self, and we at Mgbeke Media strongly apologize to our Kenyan brothers and sisters for this shocking act.

No matter how rich or powerful you think you are, you can never be God over anyone; hence you have no right to demean or talk down on anyone for no reason whatsoever! Tables do turn in life, and you may be on the receiving end one day. Always ask yourself, how would you feel if the roles were reversed?

(3) Simple humility and humanity have never hurt anyone!

Again I want to reiterate that if the Chief Priest had only been wise, humble, and humane enough to even look kindly upon the innocent child involved, this saga would never have gotten so messy.

Nowhere in his statement did he implicitly deny ever having sexual relations with this lady in question. Hence, all he should have done was to quietly invite her over for a DNA test to prove the child’s paternity, and in the same way, handled her matter privately whether the results came out positively or otherwise. Nobody needed to have known!

The funniest part of this story now is even the unignorable striking resemblance this innocent boy in question has with his alleged father. I mean, it’s almost like God knows that some men will be deadbeat and evil, heartless clowns after getting innocent girls pregnant, so HE ensures that one looks at the baby, and denial becomes even more ridiculous for the men because the children are their split images.

Anyway, we were all not aware or there when they were hooking up and having unprotected sex with each other. A simple act of kindness and wisdom would have saved him all this embarrassment, but, even from his tone and the way he has reacted so far, it seems like a huge paradox to put him and wisdom in the same statement.

Cubana Chief Priest, his alleged baby mama, and the innocent boy he claims is a bastard yet surprisingly looks almost exactly like him.

(4) Does Pascal truly know what a “bulletproof” marriage is?

Uncle Pascal claims to have a “bulletproof” marriage, yet his dick is not bulletproof when it sees another woman’s private parts. Who is he deceiving?

Dear men, if you think that your money or affluence is all you need to get you out of any troubles you create with your uncontrollable randy living, then you will soon meet huge shocks in your life you won’t be able to wiggle out of!

A “bulletproof” or indestructible marriage is not one that scandals and allegations cannot scatter, but one that is heavily fortified because none of the partners involved in the marriage go about inviting danger and attacks to their homes by living adulterous, promiscuous, and lascivious lives.

They that live in glass houses do not throw stones, remember? The best way to secure your life and family is to ensure that you don’t become a threat to them by living carelessly outside. May God help our men to have some “common sense” in this life; amen!

(5) Dear single ladies – Leave married men alone, and stop disgracing your ancestors up and down!

I know that this last piece of advice will most likely fall on deaf ears because many of you are evil, desperate, hungry, vile, and extremely greedy, but the truth will always be told here and it will never be watered down.

Many ladies in Nigeria have become empty and barren shells that can never have children again because they have committed several abortions for these evil married men they keep messing around with. Sadly, the only thing being messed up here is your destiny if you continue doing this as a young lady, and I hope many of you will heed the voice of reason and God today and quit this destructive way of life.

While the lady in question reportedly didn’t even know that Chief Priest was in a “bulletproof marriage,” it doesn’t excuse having sexual relations with anyone outside wedlock just for the fun of it. We must all be more careful with the way we live our lives.

We must also credit her for not opting for an abortion like many young ladies easily do, though, but now she has to go through this drama and pain that could have been easily avoided if only she had done the right things, to begin with.

May God be merciful to us all…Amen!

Mgbeke Sunday Sermon

Dear Couples, Satisfy Yourselves In Bed – You Can’t Be Holier Than God!

My beloved brothers and sisters, how are you all going today? I hope you had a prosperous week, and that you’re all ready to attack this new one with much vigor and excitement, too.

Speaking of excitement, I’ve sadly observed a disturbing trend amongst many married couples lately, and I feel led to address this situation today. What makes it even more alarming to me is the fact that many of these couples are barely even up to 10 years in marriage; hence the question – what is happening to true love and passion in today’s society?

Oh, I remember the story of how Jacob was so enamored with Rachel, he served and waited for 14 years so that he could have her as his wife and lover (read Genesis 29)! These days, a couple barely married for 7 years has already lost their spark, sexual chemistry, and passion, and you can’t help but wonder what the problem truly is.

Well, let me share a vital truth from God’s Word with you today. King David said: “For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may privily shoot at the upright in heart. If the foundations are destroyed, What can the righteous do?” – ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭11‬:‭2‬-‭3‬. I put it to you today that this is a major reason why many marriages are suffering from this unholy pandemic in our days.‬

Many people went into marriage with the wrongest mindsets and feelings of entitlement. If your motive and perspective about a thing are already twisted before you do it, how do you expect to get the right results from it? The foundation, according to David, is destroyed already!

When it comes to marriage, there are a few assumptions and flawed mindsets many people have, and I want us to address them today:

Dr.( Mrs) Stella Onuoha-Obilor, DrPH, MD, MPH, CPHQ, CCM

(1) Sex is a dirty and sinful act, so it must only be done in one particular way.

Dear brothers and sisters that have turned yourselves into Assistant Jesus and God’s Administrative Assistants, well done o! My question for you is that if sex was as dirty as you self-righteously claim and even force your poor partners to believe, why did God not only allow it for married couples but also commanded that they enjoy it?

If you claim that the Apostle Paul’s teachings on this in 1 Corinthians chapter 7 is “new testament and not the law,” what about this beautiful scripture in your so-called “old testament” too?

“Let thy fountain be blessed: And rejoice with the wife of thy youth. Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe; Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; And be thou ravished always with her love.” – Proverbs ‭5‬:‭18‬-‭19‬.

Note that the Bible says to “be satisfied by her breasts at all times,” and not only when you want to procreate, whenever you feel in the mood, or when the days you fixed for your spouse on your calendar are due. That is an unholy madness, and it must be stopped. You can never be holier than the God who gave us these commandments, and created sex, can you?

(2) It’s not compulsory to satisfy my partner.

Yes, it is, dear brothers and sisters! You are even commanded to ensure that your partner is always fully satisfied in the bedroom: “Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband.” – ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭7‬:‭3‬.‬

In case Uncle King James’s colloquial grammar is too hard for you to comprehend, rendering “due benevolence” to your spouse here means that you must fulfill and satisfy all their sexual longings and desires because this is your duty to each other.

And, if you’re also one of those partners who would always roll off and sleep as soon as you reach your orgasm and not care to help your partner achieve theirs, too, this is very selfish, self-centered, terrible, and a grave offense against the institution of marriage. You need to repent today!

(3) For my dear married sisters, please do not share your husband’s “food” around like your body is a buffet and free for all!

Every man likes his paradise sacred and preserved for him only. When he hangs out with his woman, he wants to feel like a king, and not someone eating public food or out of a public toilet.

Remember what the Apostle Paul said in this admonition to married couples? “Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” – Hebrews ‭13‬:‭4‬.

And for my single bachelorettes, please keep your legs closed. It doesn’t matter whether you are separated, single, or divorced, you must remain celibate until you remarry if you’re a widow, or go back to your marriage – if it is still humanly possible.

This, I say, not from the scriptures right now but from my understanding and feelings – No woman should ever go back to an abusive spouse because you have one life and it makes no sense to have it snuffed out by an unbelieving animal that calls itself a man and your husband!

Anyway, I do hope and pray that these words will get through to your hearts today and that you will receive the understanding and faith to believe them. May God restore every troubled marriage, and relationship and grant you all the peace, resources, and will to do the right things for each other, in the name of Jesus Christ; Amen!

Remember that your body is the temple of God|Holy Spirit. Keep it pure and clean always for only you and your partner.

Domestic Violence Is A Senseless Resort Of Cowards – Shun It!

Every year, millions of people worldwide are victims of domestic violence.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 1 in 3 women worldwide has experienced physical or sexual violence at some point in their lives. However, in my Mgbekenized observations, a lot of men are also victims of domestic violence in their various homes, workplace, and relationships. So, we must all know that women are not the only victims of domestic violence.

As traumatic, damaging, draining, and disheartening as it can be, this senseless evil is sadly one of the most difficult types of situations to talk about and escape from for many of its victims.

Even more tragic is that this can happen to anyone; young, old, women, men, children, spouses, employees, and even friends.

So, this is to remind you that no one is immune to domestic violence, and if you or someone you know is in an unsafe situation or relationship, find the courage to leave or encourage them to seek the support and resources to get out of that situation or relationship quickly and safe.

Here are a few quotes below to help you find the strength and encouragement you or anyone else may need to escape and overcome this ugly situation:

“My darling, there is no moral justification for domestic violence or violence of any kind.” – Dr. Sandra C. Duru

Violence doesn’t equal strength.” – Becca Fitzpatrick

Raise your heart, not your hand.”― Abhijit Naskar

Finally, please learn to have a healthy conversation and not a toxic relationship filled with all sorts of abuse. Also, note that what you say, your body language, and when and how you say them can prevent or cause violence.

And also importantly, please, know when to walk away, shut up, or never engage in a conversation with an abusive partner, colleague, boss, or leader. It could be the difference between life and death for you.

Domestic violence is a senseless option that cowards resort to, and you must understand that such people are always easily triggered. Hence, the wisdom to know what, when, and how to engage with such people is very vital.

May God watch over and keep us all from evil always…Amen!

I love you ❤️
