Why Separation Is Necessary Even From Close Acquaintances As A Pastor, Bishop David Abioye Explains
Bishop David Abioye, a well-known Christian leader in Nigeria and pastor of Living Faith Church, emphasized the value of separation as an essential stage in one’s own and one’s spiritual development in a recent YouTube video. Abioye thanked God in a heartfelt speech for giving him the chance to share these revelations with his audience.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
“It brings me joy to come your way again at this moment, and I want to thank God for the privilege He’s given to me to be able to communicate these lessons of life to everyone,” the bishop began. His message focused on the theme of separation, a crucial concept that he believes prepares individuals for greater heights in life.
Bishop Abioye explained that human beings naturally seek support in all aspects of life, whether in their careers, professions, or ministries. “The human system always loves support. Every time you turn either to your right or your left, you always love people around you,” he remarked. However, he noted that there are moments when even those closest to you—friends, acquaintances, and family members—may leave you, often under confusing and indescribable circumstances.
According to him, “It brings me joy to come your way again at this moment, and I want to thank God for the privilege He’s given to me to be able to communicate these lessons of life to everyone in this audience. Today, I want to share with you on the necessity of separation. The human system always loves support. Every time you turn either to your right or your left, whatever your field may be—career or profession, as a pastor—you always love people around you. But there are occasions when you are left alone, even by acquaintances, close people to you, in an unusual manner, and sometimes under indescribable circumstances.”
“Now, rather than reacting to people, take a shift. It may be that God wants to separate you to prepare you for your next phase in life. Now picking this lesson, we hear the story of the eagle. That’s the way eagles are left alone in hibernation. As a matter of fact, every eagle, as they grow up, learns to be separated. That has to be done individually because other birds may fly together, but most eagles fly alone.”CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>

Karoline Leavitt says. ‘The Black Voters Turned Out For Trump In Numbers, We Have Never Seen That Before’
Karoline Leavitt, the Trump 2024 National Press Secretary, has emphasized the encouraging developments in states like Georgia and North Carolina, pointing out that President-elect Donald Trump achieved historic wins among Hispanic voters and witnessed historically high Black voter turnout. She credited Trump’s strong work ethic and the campaign’s ground game’s unwavering efforts for this victory.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
She stated that the election results marked what she called “the greatest political comeback in American history,” showcasing Trump’s ability to rally support even amid significant challenges. She also underscored the adversity Trump has faced during his campaign, asserting that he has encountered obstacles unlike any other political candidate in history.
She said in an interview with Fox News, ‘It was an incredible night for President Trump and our team. When we saw the returns from Georgia and North Carolina, and just the trends across the country, President Trump picking up historic gains with Hispanic Americans. The Black voters turned out for Trump in numbers, we have never seen that before. We felt very good that all of our hard work, our ground game, and President Trump’s work ethic and determination ultimately won. Last night, the world witnessed the greatest political comeback in American history. And throughout this campaign, our boss, President Trump, has faced more adversity than any candidate to ever run for office.
They tried to imprison him; they forced him to take a mugshot; they tried to remove his name off the ballot; they forced him to sit in a dirty courthouse for six weeks. Two people even tried to kill him, for goodness’ sake. And what the American people see in Donald Trump is clear: a leader who, even in the darkest of times, is going to lift his fist in the air and say, ‘Fight, fight, fight for this country.’ And President Trump last night didn’t just defeat Kamala Harris; he defeated the Big Tech oligarchs who have tried to censor him.”CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>

as police disperse Ikwerre council workers with teargas, scores injured, Rivers LG crisis thickens
On Monday, police officers used tear gas and gunshots to scatter local government employees who had congregated to begin work in Isiokpo, the administrative hub of the Ikwerre Local Government Area (LGA) in Rivers State. After months of closure, the National Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) ordered employees to return to the council’s facilities, which led to the unanticipated altercation….

Reports indicate that numerous police patrol vans stormed the Ikwerre council secretariat “commando style,” discharging rounds of gunfire and launching teargas to forcefully clear the premises. Witnesses recounted the sudden eruption of violence, which threw workers into a panic, with many fleeing into nearby bushes or scrambling for cover to escape the scene. The incident reportedly left multiple workers injured, including two women who fainted while attempting to evade the unrest.
The tense standoff followed an earlier attack on the council offices by suspected political thugs after local elections. Ikwerre LGA, alongside two other councils in the state, suffered severe damage and was subsequently shut down to prevent further violence. The reopening of the council headquarters had been under strict surveillance, given the risk of renewed arson or property destruction.
An eyewitness, who preferred to remain anonymous for personal safety, described the distressing scene. “This morning, NULGE instructed members to resume work at Ikwerre LGA. But over 100 armed policemen arrived, and suddenly they started shooting and firing teargas everywhere. Workers, women—everyone was running. Two women slumped, and the police initially blocked any medical help from reaching them,” he said.
According to The PUNCH reports, An eyewitness told our reporter that scores of workers, including two women, were injured while trying to escape from the scene of the shooting, adding that many fled into nearby bushes for safety. “While we were there, we saw more than 100 policemen fully armed. And they started shooting and firing teargas everywhere, workers, women and everybody started running.”
Confirming the incident, the Chief of Staff for Ikwerre LGA, Richard Henry, expressed concern over the police’s actions, noting that some workers fled into nearby bushes to escape injury. He condemned the police operation, calling it unwarranted, as the matter of the arson was already under investigation by the Rivers State Judicial Commission of Inquiry. “This was unnecessary. Our mothers and youths who were there got injured. The inquiry is still ongoing, yet the police teargassed everyone. We will not stand for this treatment,” he said.
In response, the Rivers State Police Command acknowledged its presence at the Ikwerre council premises but defended its actions, saying they were necessary to maintain law and order. Grace Iringe-Koko, the spokesperson for the police command, noted that the Ikwerre secretariat had been ordered closed due to the severe damage it sustained from the earlier attacks. She explained that the police were summoned when a large group of over 300 individuals allegedly forced entry through the main gate, intending to either loot or cause further damage.
Iringe-Koko remarked, “The officers at the scene were there to maintain law and order. Some people tried to break into the council premises, and our men had to act swiftly to disperse them and prevent any damage to public property.”CLICK TO READ THE FULL NEWS HERE▶️▶️
