Comrade Joe made the call in a statement sent to newsmen in Warri, Delta State

I Tell You This; Any Pastor Asking You To Sow Seeds, Pay Tithes And Give First Fruit Before God Blesses You Is A Scammer And A Fraudster – Pastor Abel Damina

Nigerian Pastor Abel Damina has accused fellow religious leaders of fraud and scamming their congregations. According to him, any pastor who demands “seeds,” tithes, and first fruits as a prerequisite for God’s blessings is a fraudster. This declaration has sent shockwaves through religious circles, sparking intense debate and scrutiny....Click Here To Continue Reading>>
Pastor Damina’s assertion challenges the long-standing practice of prosperity gospel, which emphasizes material wealth and success as divine rewards for faithful giving. He argues that this approach manipulates vulnerable individuals, exploiting their faith and financial resources. By linking blessings to payments, these religious leaders undermine the fundamental principles of Christianity, which emphasizes grace, love, and generosity.
The pastor’s statement resonates with many who have grown weary of the “prosperity gospel” and its emphasis on material wealth. Critics argue that this approach perpetuates a “pay-to-play” mentality, where only those who can afford to pay are deemed worthy of divine favor. This not only creates a culture of exploitation but also distorts the true essence of faith and spirituality.
While some have praised Pastor Damina’s courage in speaking out against religious extortion, others have criticized his views as extreme and divisive. However, his statement highlights the need for a more nuanced and honest conversation about the role of money in religion and the ethical standards expected of religious leaders ...Click Here To Continue Reading>>

Jubilation as Prophet Odumeje Vows to Bring Down Rice Price in Nigeria, Warns Pastors to Speak Out Against Economic Hardship
![Prophet Odumeje](https://abilitydigitalz.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Screenshot-2024-07-20-at-01-20-24-Prophet-Odumeje-Vows-to-Bring-Down-Rice-Price-in-Nigeria-Warns-Pastors-to-Speak-Out-Against-Economic-Hardship.png)
In a bold declaration, Prophet Chukwuemeka Odumeje, a controversial Nigerian cleric, has promised to single-handedly reduce the price of rice in Nigeria....Click Here To Continue Reading>>
This statement comes as the country grapples with economic hardship and food inflation. Rice is a staple food in Nigeria, and its high cost has become a significant burden for many citizens.
Prophet Odumeje, known for his unconventional methods and prophecies, did not reveal how he plans to achieve this feat. However, he warned that if pastors and religious leaders fail to speak out against the government’s handling of the economy, they will face divine consequences.
According to Odumeje, the economic hardship in Nigeria is a spiritual issue that requires spiritual solutions. He urged religious leaders to use their platforms to address the government’s policies and demand change. If they fail to do so, he predicted that they will face God’s judgment.
While some Nigerians have welcomed Prophet Odumeje’s statement, others have expressed skepticism about his ability to influence the price of rice. The country’s economic challenges are complex and multifaceted, and many believe that a single individual, regardless of their spiritual powers, cannot single-handedly resolve them.
Despite the doubts, Prophet Odumeje remains confident in his abilities and has vowed to use his spiritual influence to bring relief to Nigerians. His declaration has sparked a lively debate about the role of religion in addressing economic and political issues in Nigeria. As the country continues to grapple with economic hardship, many are watching to see if Prophet Odumeje will fulfill his promise and bring down the price of rice.

Major US airlines including American Airlines, Delta Airlines and United Airlines have been grounded, while airports in Germany, Amsterdam and Spain are also reporting issues.
Passengers at Edinburgh Airport were unable to use automated boarding pass scanners and monitors at security displayed a message saying “server offline”, according to a Reuters witness.
The airport had reverted to checking boarding passes manually, the witness said.
Also in the UK, Southern, Thameslink, Gatwick Express and Great Northern – all four of Govia Thameslink Railway’s brands – said its services were experiencing widespread IT issues.
“We are unable to access driver diagrams at certain locations, leading to potential short-notice cancellations, particularly on the Thameslink and Great Northern networks,” the company said.
“Additionally, other key systems, including our real-time customer information platforms, are also affected.”
It comes as Microsoft said it was continuing to address the “lingering impact” of its 365 applications and services that are in a “degraded state” – it is unknown if this is the same issue affecting airports and train services across the globe.
The outage appears to be affecting Windows PCs globally, including Sky News in the UK which was not able to broadcast live TV on Friday morning.
Out-of-date prices showing at London Stock Exchange
The London Stock Exchange is among the businesses that have been affected by the global outage, Sky News’ business correspondent, Ian King, said.
A statement posted on the exchange’s website early said that a technical issue was being investigated with the publication of RNS – the exchange’s Regulatory News Service – announcements.
When trading began at 8am this morning, the exchange’s website was still showing prices from the close on Thursday evening and continues to do so.
The FTSE-100 opened 50 points lower – around 0.62% – at the open but no prices were available on the exchange’s website, King said.
Other major European stock indices have also opened to the downside this morning, with the DAX in Germany down by 0.55% half an hour into the session, while the CAC-40 in France and the MIB in Italy down by 0.45% apiece.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s call for Nigerians to make sacrifices to achieve the country’s greatness has sparked widespread criticism and demands for him to lead by example....Click Here To Continue Reading>>
Nigerians, civil society organizations, and opposition parties like the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Young Progressives Party (YPP) have urged the president and his administration to demonstrate sacrifices before asking citizens to do the same.
Tinubu had while addressing journalists after observing the Eid-el Kabir prayer at Dodan Barracks, Lagos, on Sunday, said that Nigerians must follow the path of sacrifice to make the nation great.
“Being a very good citizen comes with responsibility. As citizens, what do you do to be a very committed member of our society? Go and sacrifice. Love your country, love your neighbours, share what you have with one another and be thankful to Almighty God. That’s all,” he had said.
However, his comment has been met with anger and frustration.
Many Nigerians who are struggling with poverty, inflation, and hardship feel that the government has failed to fulfil its promises and provide basic necessities like security, electricity, and infrastructure.
Critics argue that the government’s removal of fuel subsidies, increase in electricity tariffs, and introduction of new taxes have further burdened citizens, making it unfair to ask for more sacrifices without providing relief or social safety nets.
They point out that the cost of governance is high, and the president and his appointees should reduce their own expenses and lead by example.
An economist and lecturer at Saadatu Rimi University of Education, Kumbotso, Kano, who is also the Director, Fiscal Discipline and Development Advocacy Centre (FIDAC), Dr. Abdulsalam Kani, said the government had failed to fulfil its promises made to Nigerians.
“The government has removed fuel subsidy and increased electricity tariff, plunging many into difficulty. Nigerians were promised that Port Harcourt refinery will begin production in December last year, and that has not happened. Despite these and the failure of the administration to fulfil promises, they are making plans to buy new aircraft for the president and vice president,” he said.
The Secretary-General, Nigeria Political Science Association (NPSA), Dr Bakare Adegbola, said: “The statement of the president is a normal thing politicians say during eid celebrations, especially Eid-el Kabir, which is all about sacrifice. But when politically contextualised, then we begin to read meanings to it.
“An average politician cannot make sacrifices in terms of what they get when they get into power because they see the position as a business investment and must recoup their money,” he said.
“However, before demanding such from the masses, he should have shown that he is leading from the front. The cost of governance is too high and yet, we are talking about buying new carriers for the president when we already have ten. Why not sell some of those ageing ones?
“The number of cars in their convoys has shown that they are not making any sacrifice. They need to govern by example and take the lead in their campaign of sacrifice,” he said.
Abdullateef Abubakar, a resident of Kano, said the Tinubu administration should rather reduce cost of governance instead of asking poor Nigerians to make sacrifices.
He said the president made so much appointments who are paid allowances from the government’s coffers.
“People are really facing difficulties. Food is beyond the reach of many families. What else do they want people to do,” he asked.
The PDP and YPP have called on the president to stop corruption and profligacy in his government and demonstrate sacrifices before asking Nigerians to do the same.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the main opposition party, has urged President Tinubu to tackle corruption within his administration and lead by example before calling on Nigerians to make sacrifices. According to the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, “If you look at our recent outing on the state of affairs in the country, we have told the president to take action and reduce profligacy and corruption in government.
“Yes, we agreed that every citizen needs to make sacrifices, but the leadership must lead by example; the government should show the way in making sacrifices by leading by example. That way, the people will be connected to the government.
“What we are saying as a party is that there are times everyone must make sacrifice for the good of the country, but the government must show the way by example; because that is the only way the people can be connected to the government.
“What is happening is that Nigerians have resorted to providing their own security, they have taken over the role of government, because government has apparently failed them and they are disappointed”, he said.
Ologunagba also said because of the situation in the country, “Majority of Nigerians have completely lost confidence in the APC government, which has failed to articulate any clear-cut, development-oriented policy direction that is geared towards guaranteeing the security and economic wellbeing of the people, leading to despondency and uncertainty”.

He added that the Minister of the FCT, Mr. Nyesom Wike deserves to be disciplined for his roles in the problem in Rivers State.
URGENT MESSAGE FOR PRESIDENT TINUBU
Your Excellency, I have decided to write this open letter to you as a concerned friend and Brother. As you’re aware, I’m a member of opposition but you and I have had a long history together. I owe you only one thing, TRUTH. It is very obvious that the first thing that takes flight in the Presidential villa is TRUTH. The reason is simple. Some Nigerians are experts in hijacking men and women of power. The deification process is often swift and irreversible. I’m writing you today, not because I expect you to act on my suggestions, but to put it on record that someone gave you the true picture of things. I’m also hoping that some of your friends will read and interpret to you, in a sober moment…
1. Nigeria is in big trouble. Our economy has virtually collapsed. And what’s the way out? You’ve been wasting too much money at a time that requires absolute frugality. Please, stop this reckless propensity for wasting scarce resources. Purchasing Presidential jets, building outlandish monuments, distributing cash as palliatives, etc, are signs of a failed and careless government. If you can curb the excessive spending of your government, you will free up a lot of resources for serious development.
2. I believe you’re frittering away our resources because you desperately crave a second term. But the best assurance of a second term is PERFORMANCE. Nigerians are not expecting you to turn water into wine but they don’t want you to turn their wines into water. Here are my tips: invest in vocational skills for our highly talented youths who can demonstrate their capacity for hard work. Invest heavily in local agriculture. Upgrade our institutions of learning. Giving cash to politicians to distribute is unhealthy and unhelpful… It is the height of cluelessness.
3. In the name of God, beware of those hero-worshippers at the National Assembly who have turned you into God. NDUME is your best friend. Listen to him. There’s danger ahead. 4. You must enforce DISCIPLINE as a leader. Your new disciple, NYESOM WIKE, has publicly disrespected you in the FUBARA matter. You need to sanction him before he throws Nigeria into total chaos.…Read Full Article
