Through his palliative measures, President Tinubu has been criticized by Afe Babalola, who claims he is making Nigerians into beggars

Nigeria's Senior Advocate, Afe Babalola, has expressed his displeasure with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration, claiming that by creating an atmosphere in which the government constantly gives out freebies, it has turned hard-working Nigerians into beggars. According to Babalola, these temporary fixes do little more than prolong poverty and make Nigerians dependent on the President in order to survive. He said these things to the Prestige Sisters League, who had gone to his university in Ado-Ekiti to express their gratitude. Babalola took the chance to discuss the ongoing hunger strikes and reiterate that the administration ought to treat the problems seriously. According to Babalola, the government's palliative distribution of staple goods like rice, beans, and gari just made poverty worse and prevented people from becoming self-sufficient. He emphasised that it is the government's responsibility to provide an environment that enables individuals to work and support themselves. Babalola agreed with The Patriots' demand for a new Constitution, but he disagreed with the idea of holding another constitutional conference. He proposed that the 1963 Constitution, which he thinks provides a solid foundation for Nigerian governance, be simply reenacted by the National Assembly. Read the full article

[Music] More Than A Conqueror - Li Yahweh

Kwara born Christian music artist, singer and songwriter Li Yahweh born Leah Bello is out with a new single titled More Than A Conqueror off her album titled My Season. This song like every other song in the album were all written by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The song is one that gives listeners the strength to face challenges and declare that they are more than a conqueror. Conquerors don’t back down. They don’t give up and this is where what our Lord Jesus said in John 16:33; “fear not, for I have overcome the world” after he said “in this world you will have many troubles” comes in place. This means our challenges should not scare us anymore for greater is the Christ in us than he that’s in the world (the god of this world, the devil).- 1 John 4:4. According to the singer, this assurance is a personal confession she make in her closet. Get the song with the link below, stream, download and keep confessing and making it your declaration. More Than A Conqueror - Li Yahweh https://open.spotify.com/album/3KIe8lLXEMCsCR8CnEWBPs?si=zN_DhoXJRxuE3j2er8Pm5A LYRICS Gone are those days when I was sore afraid Of the troubles and the struggles that I faced Now I live and move and have my being in world If Jesus Christ He says I’m victorious The one who’s in me I greater than he who’s in the word I’m not afraid Of whatever may come my way CHORUS: I’m moving forward No backing down I am a winner In Jesus Christ More than a conqueror VAMP: I’ve overcome I’m victorious I’ve overcome I’m victorious I’ve overcome I’m victorious I’ve overcome OUTRO: I’m moving forward  No backing down  I am a winner  In Jesus Christ  More than a conqueror 2x ABOUT ARTIST Li Yahweh (full name: Leah Bello),a Nigerian gospel minister, from Falokun-oja, Ilorin, Kwara state. She is an Evangelist and a daughter of Rev. Dr. Moses Adewale Bello (father) and Rev. Pastor. Dorcas Oluwatoyin Bello (mother), born in Lomé-Togo.  Born to a family of ministers, it is not far-fetched that she towed that path herself. She started singing in the choir at the age of 5 years as a child among adults, with classical music, “hallelujah chorus” by Handel Messiah being the first song she ever learned as a child.  Brought up in the way of the Lord, and regularly attending church as a pastor’s child, she began to get used to it and took interest in the things of God.  In 2005, her parents moved she and her brother back to their home in Nigeria to continue secondary school. She attended “Sow The Seed”(Alakia, Ibadan);  “Seed Of Life” (Onireke Ibadan); “The Vale College” (Iyaganku, Ibadan). One thing LiYahweh always found herself doing throughout her school days was serving in the choir and this continued in the university.  Getting to ABUAD (Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti), she joined the choir almost immediately after her admission, served for the 4 years she studied and continues serving in the choir wherever she found herself after school, till date (during her NYSC and now in her home church) A lover of Jesus, one who is dedicated to sharing the gospel and especially the love of Christ that has transformed her life over the years, LiYahweh enjoys preaching on platforms like Instagram and WhatsApp especially.  One of the studio music projects she was involved in earlier in her years was in 2010 where she was part of a group called “checkmates”, sponsored by the secondary school she was in at the time; TVC (The Vale College).  However, her first official single, debut single as a gospel artiste was in 2021, titled “Lord You Reign”.  This encouraged her to look at that area (music) and how God can use her as a vessel to bring people to Him via undiluted worship.  This is the background of a young woman who is in love with Jesus and who has begun this journey with the Holy Spirit, as an available tool to bless souls and draw them to Christ Jesus for salvation.

We didn’t lose any lives to flood – Ekiti govt

The Ekiti State Governor, Biodun Oyebanji has denied the rumours that five people drowned in a flood that affected some sections of Ado Ekiti capital city on Tuesday. Areas ravaged by flood after over five hours of torrential downpour include, Ureje Bridge along Polytechnic road, Eminrin Estate, Ilupeju avenue, Elemi, Ita Eku, Basiri, among others. The Governor, represented by his Deputy, Monisade Afuye, accompanied by other top government functionaries, denied the rumours of death on Wednesday while visiting the affected areas to assess the level of destruction caused by the incident. She regretted the level of havoc wreaked by the flood, assuring that the government would map out life-saving mechanisms to mitigate destruction of property in areas submerged by water. Reiterating that no life was lost in all the flood ravaged areas visited, she said: “Our people should discountenance that rumour that five people died. Nothing of such happened. We have it on good authority that those who fell victim were saved by divers. So, our people shouldn’t panic. “It was to avoid flooding that this government embarked on aggressive dredging of Ureje and Elemi Rivers early this year. We also channelised many drainages in Ado Ekiti. If not for that proactive actions, the wreckage could have been worse and more destructive. “We sympathise with those that were affected by this flooding. My government won’t abandon them. We will take quick steps to address all your issues. We will surely come to your aid because the welfare of the people is paramount to Governor Biodun Oyebanji”. Oyebanji warned Ekiti residents against unwholesome practices like reckless dumping of refuse and sewages inside canals and erection of buildings on waterways, describing these as actions that were exacerbating flooding in the state. Also corroborating the Governor’s position, the diver, who rescued the five victims at Ureje Bridge, Chief Kolawole Falajiki, who was one of those that received the entourage, clarified that the victims were saved while being washed away by water, contrary to the rumour being peddled on social media. “Nobody died, we ensured we saved all those that were caught in the web of flooding. Commuters numbering over 800 were trapped here at Ureje bank. They were witnesses to my story that nobody died”. Falajiki alongside spokesmen of Ureje and Eminrin estate, Mr Tayo Olawuyi, Rasheed Akanbi and Alhaji Shine Salami, applauded the state government for dredging the river earlier in the year, saying the havoc could have been more disastrous if not for that well conceived action. “The only way we can overcome this flooding permanently is for the government to blast the rock that is raising the water level inside Ureje River. That was why the water was overflowing the high bridge that connects Ado Ekiti to Afe Babalola University. “Another way is that they should use concrete to channel the water downslope. These are the permanent solutions to the challenge”. Read the full article
