25 Years After, Nigeria Yet To Experience True Democracy – Ajadi

 

 

A Chieftain of the New Nigeria People’s Party, (NNPP), Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo has lamented that it is sad that after 25 years of continuous civilian rule, Nigeria is yet to imbibe true spirit of democracy, thus appealing to political leaders to play the game according to the rule so that every individuals irrespective of tribe, religion or political affiliations can enjoy the dividends of democracy.

 

 

 

 

Ajadi in a statement to mark the country’s Democracy Day on Wednesday said since 25 years of Democracy in Nigeria, leaders are yet to play according to the rule.

He said no true democracy thrive in usurpation of all governmental powers by one arm, the executive, saying democracy can only thrive with the independent of all the three arms of governments, judiciary, legislature and executive.

Ajadi said the Judiciary and Legislature’s functions have been subsumed by the executive, thus making Nigerians to be living in civilian dictatorship.

He however urged Nigerians to continue praying for the leaders, for them to lead the country aright, saying Nigeria is blessed with huge mineral resources which if well harnessed will make the country one of the leading powers in the World.

Ajadi who was the NNPP governorship candidate in Ogun state during the last general election said in the statement, “It is sad that after 25 years of uninterrupted civilian rule, our leaders are yet to embrace true spirit of democracy. We have been having civilian rule that are not democratic.

“Starting from election which is the basis of democracy, we have not had a free and fair election in this country.

“Rather than people deciding who to govern them as it is obtained in true democracy, Five or Seven judges of the Supreme Court or Appeal Courts have been the ones deciding the winners of our elections.

“In a true democracy, there should be independent of three arms of government, but here in Nigeria, both Legislature and Judiciary are under the control of the Executive.

“Nigerians instead of experiencing dividends of democracy from the so called elected leaders, they are experiencing hardship, with many of them dying of hungers on daily basis.

“As we are celebrating Democracy Day today, I urge our leaders to have a change of heart and put the interest of Nigerians in their minds.

“I urged the government to use this occasion to formulate policies that would bring growth and development, price control and components of true democracy.

“I also appealed to Nigerians to continue praying for our leaders for them to toe the right path in bringing development to our nation. We don’t have any other country and when our leaders get it right, we will all enjoy the resources that the Almighty has blessed us with.

The Senate President of National Association of Polytechnic Students ( NAPS) Condemned the Act of Negligence of Segilola Operating Resources Company Limited on Environmental degradation,Host Community neglect, environmental Pollution and not been Friendly to the Students Community in Osun State.

NAPS Senate frown at Operations of Segilola Operating Resource Limited iperindo over not been Friendly to the Students community , the lackadaisical attitude towards the host community, air and water pollution is becoming unbearable in the Community, the lives of the Citizens of the host community where some of our Students reside is no longer save, we are calling on Federal Government and Osun State Government to stop the Operation of Segilola for now until the right thing is done, the lives of our people in the host Community is very important to us and the Nation,having carried out series of investigation on the activities of the said company and its environmental impacts on our people, we have decided to make our positions known before causing serious havoc within the region.”

As a students’ body, we have read and heard of the operations of Segilola Operating Resource Company in the Atakunmosa East Local Government Area of Osun State which deals in what we best describeed as illegal gold mining in the Iperindo axis of Ilesha.”
And the activities of this company is being carried out very closed to two tertiary institutions, Osun State College of Education and Osun State College of Health Technology, Ilesha and the same water flows through Osun State College Technology Esa Oke,In addition to this, it contaminates water, causes slow growth rate in plants and respiratory problem, liver and kidney damage in man and damages landscapes which leads to displacing communities and households.

As an association, we deem it fit to demand for the observation of the whole mining site as being operated by Segilola Operating Resource Company in the Iperindo area of Ilesha so as to evaluate the physical impact of mining and to collect soul samples from the surface of the mined and un-mined area within the mining sites for some laboratory tests to be conducted on it before it started affecting the physical structures of the two tertiary institutions and the students themselves.

Going forward, we say a total No to the illegal mining in any part of the South Western region most especially Osun state, where the consequences may fall on students and the community, hence, immediate government intervention is needed urgently,” the state ended.

The Welfare and good health for the Citizens of the Host Community should be a priority of any organization and the Government.

Stop the Operation of Segilola now or the Students will mobilize in thousands to picket the Segilola company in few days from Now.

Aluta Continua..Victoria Ascerta.

Comrade Adeniji Boluwaji Temitope

Businesses grounded as flood overtakes Lagos, Ogun As Predicted By Pro. Kingsley

Sadly, business and commercial activities were grounded on Wednesday following a 10-hour downpour in many parts of Lagos and Ogun states.

This is not unconnected to the fulfillment of the prophetic warnings of Prophet Kingsley Aitafo two months ago when he said Lagos and Ogun state should be careful as he sees flood ravage the the states.

The resulting flooding brought down a two-storey building in the Mushin area of Lagos, grounded vehicular movement on the roads and overwhelmed thousands of residents while pupils could not attend schools in parts of the states.

Such places include Berger, Ikeja, Ogba and in some parts, the rain lasted for 10 hours.

A visit to some affected flooded areas such as Iyana-Oworo, Agege, Ijegun-Isheri Osun, Gbagada and Lagos Island in Lagos State, observed that roads and houses were flooded as a result of long hours of downpour.

Primate Ayodele: The Rainmaker!*

Primate Ayodele: The Rainmaker!*

*Primate Ayodele: The Rainmaker!*

 

 

When Jesus was in the middle of the storm with his disciples and some passengers, He slept off while everyone was panicking and when they woke him up to inform him about the deadly storm, he simply said a word to the storm and it immediately became calm. People who were there marveled and said ‘What manner of man is this that even the storm listens to him.’

 

Primate Ayodele: The Rainmaker!*

Similarly, Prophet Elijah called down fire and stopped rain, Joshua caused the sun to shine even in the night, Moses parted the red sea, Elisha crossed River Jordan and in addition to this list of mysterious men, Primate Elijah Ayodele, a Nigerian Prophet, and leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has become a rainmaker after constantly calling down rain from heaven.

Primate Ayodele is publicly known for many things especially his prophecies but not so much was known about his ministerial ability to make rain fall until the non-stop downpour of 1st of July to 3rd of July which he foretold in his church during a live service in June.

In a video that has been shared across social media platforms, Primate Ayodele was leading prayers on the altar when he suddenly mentioned that there will be a non-stop heavy downpour between July 1-July 3, 2024 and that it would rain everywhere during those days. He advised his church members to ensure they pray under the rain because it would have spiritual advantage and even when he had forgotten that he made such a statement, the rain that started on the 1st of July was a powerful one. The rain literally fell for three days (July 1- July 3) and to show how heavy it was, there was serious flooding in different locations especially in Lagos, houses collapsed and several were rendered homeless due to the non-stop heavy downpour.

‘On the 1st, 2nd, 3rd of July, Rain will fall and there won’t be sun at all. Let the rain beat you, it’s a rain of relief.’

Meanwhile, it won’t be the first time Primate Ayodele would be accurately speaking on significant days when there would be heavy downpour and as a matter of fact, Primate Ayodele’s ministry started with the rain as a sign. Back in the day, Primate Ayodele never wanted to lead a church except he was sure that God called him and while he was tentatively chosen to become a lead prophet, He asked God to make it rain in some locations as a sign; he made this request twice and at both times, God indeed made it rain mysteriously.

While this may be difficult to comprehend for ordinary humans, many may feel Primate Ayodele uses weather forecasts to make these weather predictions but even weather forecasts sometimes are inaccurate and most times, we don’t even get to see these forecasts till one day before. Moreover, Primate Ayodele never misses and his prophecies come in months before and in fact, those in charge of weather forecasts would be the ones watching him to make their predictions.

In a few days time, Primate Ayodele would be launching the 30th edition of his prophecy book, Warnings To The Nations, which is truly another mysterious part of his ministry. No doubt, God is working through the ministry of Primate Elijah Ayodele.
