Publisher, Daily Manna falsely Reported Dead

SHOCKER! SHOCKER! SHOCKER! – NEWSPAPER REPORTS DEATH OF “OUR DAILY MANNA” PUBLISHER!

A prominent national daily newspaper, (Daily Champion) in Nigeria reported that the publisher of  popular daily devotional, Our Daily Manna, Rev. Dr Chris Kwakpowe, was assassinated at his home by unknown gun men. His full name was printed in the controversial publication! This is untrue.

  

When the paper's CORRECTIONAL VERSION was RE-PUBLISHED, it STILL CARRIED HIS FULL NAMES! (and was not properly communicated to dissuade the earlier publication's error). This has caused panic and tears across the Nigeria nation, especially among ardent readers and beneficiaries of Our Daily Manna devotional worldwide.

Findings however have shown that Dr Chris is alive and well. Though the false publication has caused him to be very angry, reliable sources say he is calm but has been asking his close associates questions such as: “Is it a sin to be used by God, sleep just 2 hours a day and to succeed by the grace of God?" This is so, especially with various enemy blogs and lies against him recently.

 Earlier on, it was uncovered that Dr. Chris received a text message threatening that he would be blackmailed on the internet if he fails to part with 250million Naira! He was also advised to get in touch and not inform the police. This is coupled with the burglary at their national headquarters and the availability of OVER 9 FAKE FACEBOOK ACCOUNTS IMPERSONATING HIM and defrauding innocent people!

He is said to be focused, but is quietly considering the next line of action and wondered who would want him dead!

Stay connected for further unfolding news of this death -scare!

Nigeria and the Church

I had just gotten from an event.One of the events I particularly have reservations for are a religious events, because you begin to wonder whether you are in a church service on a Saturday. Perhaps, you begin to wonder if you have converted yourself from the sunday pentecostal churches to the Seven Days Adventist or the Jehovah Witness. I had attended some of these events but today's event was different.

It was an Annual Anniversary Lecture of Providence Baptist Church, Dopemu Lagos titled The Church and the Problem of Political Mandate in Nigeria at Lagos Airport Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos, on Saturday 13th November 2010. It was the fourth lecture series that had positioned and posited the Nigerian Christian Community on their roles in Politics and Democratic governance. Professor Yessufu Obaje of the Nigerian Baptist Seminary, Ogbomoso, Oyo State, Nigeria and the erstwhile Presidential Adviser on Christian Religious Matters to President Olusegun Obasanjo, (now former President)presented a paper which was originally titled "2011 Election: You and God" was readjusted to the latter topic. President at the occasion were Anointed Men of God from the Baptist Church, Nigerian Convention such as Reverend Bolaji Oduola, Pastor-in-Charge, Providence Baptist Church and his wife, Grace, Rev. Dr Ademola Ishola, General Secretary, Nigerian Baptist Convention, ably represented by Rev.GA Awotunde, General Secretary of Conference, Lagos East Rev. Dr SAA Olaide, Rev J Aremu,Confernce Chairman, Lagos West, Adeniyi Adeniji, Conference Secretary Lagos West.

I and a good friend Abraham Oladipopu of the guardian newspaper were there to cover the event.

Now straight to the words that made the event worth it and better than other religious events. Lest I forget, Obaje is a professor of Systematic Theology and Philosophy, the President of Peace on Earth Mission and the former president of the Baptist Convention. He is a completely intellectual, philosophical and spiritual personality. A situation largely missing in the Nigerian Christian Commmunity. Obaje was also the Former Chancellor, Bowen University, Iwo, Ogun State and Former Chaplain, State House, Federal Republic of Nigeria. He has also contested for the post of Niger State Governor which he lost. According to him, he lost because he was not ready to bribe his way into the Niger State house.



Read these words if its difficult to read the above

On the National Assembly

There is a need to sanitise the national assembly. These are one of the national evils. lawmakers are not supposed to lawless but these ones are ready to breach the constitution " after all we are the lawmakers

.

On Politics

Politics is not a dirty game but 90% of Nigerians who say they are politicians are satan-centered politicians

God is a politician, whether we like it or not. Its about God's authority over creation

(note, I used to say this at the University back then and people used to hate me for it, now a priest turned politician is saying it again.

On Politicians

They Steal and Steal until they steal their own souls out of heaven

Let us have a law for people who steal our money (as a nation, in corporate world), all your titles would be dropped and any occasion they go they should introduce them as Thief this, thief that for ten years

On Nigerian Education

honourary degrees are given so that they (the awardees)can give them money.Even those who can hardly spell their names

On the Church

We need to act and pray, else we would have trouble on our hands

The church must come to terms to the reality of its role in politics, else it will lose its relevance. Politics is the mission of the church.

It is now our responsibility to rewrite of our theological history

On Nation building

There are three national cancers that needs to be attended to in Nigeria, Wickedness, Ignorance and Poverty.

On Nigerian People

The phrase, Good people, I respect Honourable Minister, Dora Akinyuli but I cannot accept it. How many Nigerians can spend their children to the village. You are afraid of the good people who are there

The highest level of dehumanisation is for people to control your conscience

Christians are uncommitted spectators in politics

On Free and Fair Elections

Nobody should expect free, just and fair election. Ignorance is pivotal to the problem of Nigerian elections

We are going Roundabout

We are going Roundabout on the Roundtable
Rounds upon Rounds
Punching the punching bag to denegrating pillows

We are Rigging, just as we all Rigmarole
In every hub that vents, lies a mole

Our Father who art in heaven...
in Hallowed... these hall of godfathers

Yet we have the patience of the pastor and his parishioner
ready to perish for their commission and commissioners

President, all that we know about you is dent
dented
Contestants, you are doing a good job at hiding your satans
Electorates, the fool nobody rates
the fool that bears the brunt of beer rates.
Nothing to add but adverts.
