Fsome undertaking for

it is particularly so in a difficult
time. Freedom from oppression
or oppressive circumstances
is never given, it
can only be earned through a
fight. Difficulties and oppositions
are things we are meant
to face on earth, and they are
the real forces that reveal the
inner man; the real character
of a person is revealed in the

or trouble. In trying
times, people develop either
a crushed, conquered spirit or
a conquering spirit. As a believer,
the Holy Spirit who
resides in you, stirs up the giant
within you – brings out the
inner qualities you possess, and
faith is built on great courage.
Winning faith is born out a

chieftain, Chief Sunny
Onuesoke has appealed to
non-indigenes resident in Edo
to cast their votes en-mass for

Onuesoke who made the
call in Benin City yesterday,
said it is pertinent for nonindigenes
to join forces with
the state indigenes to return
Obaseki as the Governor as
his support base continues to
grow due to his integrity and
performance in office,
including sectoral reforms and
investment
in
infrastructure, which
has attracted investors and
industrialisation of the state.
The PDP chieftain reiterated
that the re-election of Obaseki
and Shaibu for another term
would further consolidate the
achievements recorded in their
first tenure, stressing that Edo
State is in safe hands under
Governor Obaseki.
“ Obaseki needs to be reelected

ECWA condemns spate of violence in Nigeria
calls on the Federal Government
to apprehend the perpetrators
to face the full wrath of
the law, and to compensate the
victims in the interest of justice.
"The Council notes with grief
the several attacks on Southern
Kaduna Christian communities,
which are the strongholds
of ECWA, where over
120 persons including infants
and women have been killed
in the last two weeks alone,
with scores injured and thousands
displaced from their villages
and farmlands by armed
Fulani militia without any
care from the Kaduna State
and Federal Governments.
"The manifest nonchalance
of both the Kaduna State and
Federal Governments to the
plight of our compatriots is
suggestive of their loss of the

If we have faith in God, we

of their primary responsibility
of securing the
lives and property of their citizens,"
the communique
signed by Rev. Stephen Panya
Baba, ECWA President and his
General Secretary, Rev. Yunusa
Sabo Nmadu Jnr. said.
The Council also frowns at
a recent statement credited to
a Presidential spokesman explaining
away these genocidal
massacres as reprisal killings,
arguing: "No responsible
government would want to be
perceived as holding brief for
terrorists, unless it is complicit.
"Thus, the Council is even
more worried about the callousness
of the government in
changing the narrative of the
attacks, bending it towards

Rather he allowed his time of

his life around a

Reading John 8:20 These
words spake Jesus in the treasury,
as he taught in the temple:

of God who is the very One

Seven key elements will stand
out in our lives and attitude at
all time, as our loyalty and relationship
with God are nurtured.
The qualities are (1) the
life of total obedience to God,
and His word, (2) fearlessness
in tough times, (3) courage, (4)
love for God and His people,
(5) humility and meekness, (6)
seeking God’s glory in all

ast-rising Nigerian mu
Fsician, Mikeworld is set
to dazzle fans around the
world with his new single
“What You Want”; the first
song released off his EP project
that’s in the pipeline.
MikeWorld, born Michael
Ikechukwu Isichei, is a fastrising,
Nigerian contemporary
RnB Musician. Best
known as a performing artiste,
MikeWorld is also a prolific
songwriter and record producer
Ḣis new song “What You
Want” shows off yet again the
loverboy side of Mikeworld -
an exceptional African prince
charming, “crowned Mr. Cute
and Sexy” by many of his female
fans. In this luxurious
display of poetry, rhythm and
euphony, Mike asks that you
blaming the victims when in
actual sense it is the government
that has woefully failed
in its constitutional responsibility
of protecting its citizens.
"In recognition of its divine
mandate, the Council reminds
all of the sacredness
and inviolability of the right
to life, stating that no person,
authority or institution has the
right to terminate the life of
another unlawfully and urged
everyone to respect the sanctity
of human life and end the
wanton bloodletting in the
land," it stated.
It also advocated for a stronger
collaboration between the
government, the security agencies,
and the entire populace
to make for a more robust and
rapid response for the protection
of human lives and property.
could lay hands on Jesus because
his time had not yet
come. He said in John
9:4that, “I must work the
works of him that sent me,
while it is day: the night
cometh, when no man can
work.” That he must do the
works of Him who sent him
while it is day. As children of
God we must be conscious of
our God given time. In John
12:23 And Jesus answered
them, saying, the hour is come,
that the Son of man should be
glorified.Jesus said, the hour
is to come for the son of man
to be glorified.
Christ was so conscious of
His duties and the time frame
within which to accomplish
them. He reasonably utilized
His time and did not allow
environmental distractions
and social engagements to be
impediments in His ways.
Those are formidable spiritual
forces that our adversary
cannot gainsay. The challenges
that confront us in life are
the divine clarion call to the
life of obedience to God; this
attitude leads the way to being
courageous in tough
times, fearless in the midst of
conflicts, sustains our love for
God and His people, maintains
in us a life of humility
and meekness, a passion that
seeks the glory of God in all
things, and a walk with God
at all times. Our walk with
Him must be consistent and
unrelenting. With God, you
are more than a conqueror.

UK-based Nigerian artiste, Mikeworld
launches another single
By Akoma Chinweoke
do him just one favour: “Tell
me What You Want”. From
the review of industry experts,
this new single is set to thrill
his fans and bring him huge
prospects in the game as a recording/performing
artiste.
For Mike, music isn’t just a
career, it’s his best means of
self-expression. Although reserved
as a person, he is a
hard-working and highly inspired
musician who writes
most of his own songs and coproduces
some of them. He
has written and produced over
30 songs over the years. His
perfectionist nature pushes
him to keep refining them
until he is super convinced
they’re market-ready. He has
been influenced and inspired
by musicians such as Chris
Brown, XXXTENTACION,
Bazzi, Bryson Tiller, Tory Lanez
and Ryan Trey.
You may define his sound as
“Contemporary or Fusion
RnB” but Mike is versatile
enough to cater to several other
genres as well. He has created
music and collaborated
with other musicians on songs
which cut across Afrobeats,
Pop, Hip Hop, Rap and EDM.
His music appeals to a wide
spectrum of fans across diverse
cultures, which has mostly
over time attracted a lot of
urban teenagers and young
adults.
