*Gbajabiamila And His Loyalty To Nation-building*
By Samaila Musa
In a nation that has experienced its fair share of challenges, it is easy to become disillusioned and believe that we have seen it all. However, amid the chaos and uncertainty, there are individuals whose potential for greatness is yet to be fully realised. One such individual is Rt. Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, an astute mind whose brilliance cancels every trending political disillusionment where it has become commonplace and whose exceptional qualities as a representative are yet to be fully explored.
From his early days as the minority leader of the House to his tenure as the majority leader, Gbaja’s footprints remain indelible in the annals of Nigerian politics. To claim that Gbaja is simply a talented politician would be a gross understatement. He is a visionary leader, an orator who wields words as tools of progress, and a tireless advocate for the betterment of his nation. His ability to navigate the complex political landscape with finesse and integrity has earned him respect and admiration. However, it was as Speaker of the House that Gbajabiamila truly came into his own, demonstrating exceptional leadership skills and a commitment to uplifting the parliament.
Femi Gbajabiamila, fondly referred to as “Gbaja,” is a shining example of excellence in governance. One of his greatest achievements as Speaker was his ability to keep the House of Representatives together during a time of intense political polarization. As the majority leader of the House, Gbaja’s performance was nothing short of awe-inspiring. He skillfully navigated through various challenges, fostering a sense of unity and cooperation among members.
However, his ability to rally support and effectively steer the legislative agenda is a testament to his exceptional leadership qualities. Gbaja’s tenure as a majority leader was marked by significant achievements and a commitment to advancing the interests of the Nigerian people. His ability to bridge divides and foster consensus is a testament to his exceptional diplomatic skills. Gbaja’s leadership style, characterized by inclusivity and open dialogue, laid the foundation for a new era of parliamentary effectiveness.
When Gbaja assumed the role of Speaker of the House of Representatives, he embarked on a mission to uplift the parliament and restore its dignity. Under his leadership, a new era of accountability and transparency was ushered in.
While Gbaja may not be the first principal of the Senate or the House of Representatives, his legacy will endure as one who prioritised the welfare of his constituents and the nation above personal gains. In a system rife with corruption and a propensity for self-enrichment, Gbaja’s refusal to succumb to the allure of the “white envelope” speaks volumes about his integrity and moral compass. His unwavering dedication to putting his people first sets him apart as a true servant leader.
One of the most striking aspects of Gbaja’s character is his deep love and dedication to the people he represents. Gbaja’s recent commissioning of numerous constituency projects across his Federal Constituency is a testament to his unwavering dedication to his constituents. These projects, ranging from infrastructure development to social empowerment initiatives, have positively impacted the lives of the people of Surulere Federal constituency. Gbaja’s commitment to delivering tangible benefits to his constituents is a stark departure from the prevalent culture of self-interest in Nigerian politics.
The impact of Gbaja’s work extends far beyond the present moment. By championing meaningful projects and prioritizing the needs of his constituents, he has set a precedent for future representatives to follow. Gbaja’s commitment to engineering positive change in his constituency and the nation at large will leave a lasting legacy, inspiring generations to come.
Gbaja’s exceptional qualities as a representative extend beyond his immediate constituency. He possesses a vision for a better Nigeria, one that is inclusive, prosperous, and united. Gbaja’s commitment to national development and his advocacy for policies that benefit all Nigerians make him a true statesman. His ability to articulate a clear vision and rally support for its realization is a testament to his exceptional leadership skills.
Femi Gbajabiamila may not be the first speaker, nor will he be the last. But when history chronicles the saga of this remarkable nation, it will etch his name in bold letters, not as a footnote, but as a testament to the power of exceptional leadership, and the transformative impact of putting people first. In a world where cynicism often prevails, Gbaja stands as a reminder that the pursuit of a better tomorrow is not a utopian dream, but a journey paved by the footprints of leaders like him, leaders who refuse to settle for the ordinary, who dare to dream big, and who dedicate their lives to making those dreams a reality.
Gbaja’s commitment to good governance and his relentless pursuit of excellence have set a new standard for parliamentary leadership in Nigeria. His efforts to strengthen the institution and restore public trust are commendable.
While history has bestowed titles and witnessed the rise and fall of countless leaders, few have navigated the treacherous waters of politics with such grace and purpose as Femi Gbajabiamila. He stands not as a fleeting comet but as a star whose brilliance illuminates the path towards progress. He is not just a speaker; he is a symbol of hope, a living embodiment of the principle that leadership, at its core, is about service, not self-aggrandizement.
Gbaja is not just my “man of the year”; he is a man for the future, a living testament to the enduring power of service and the potential of a nation when guided by an uncommon, phenomenal representative. And in his unwavering commitment to his people lies the promise of a Nigeria yet to come, a Nigeria where the best, truly, is yet to be seen.
Rt. Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, fondly known as Gbaja, is an uncommon and phenomenal representative. His love for his people, his excellence in governance, and his commitment to uplifting the parliament and the nation as a whole make him a true leader.
It is no doubt that the impact of Gbaja’s work will resonate for generations to come. The children who learn in classrooms he built will dream bigger dreams. The families who receive medical care in his clinics will enjoy a healthier future. The individuals equipped with skills from his training centers will become pillars of their communities. Gbaja’s legacy is not simply etched in stone; it is woven into the very fabric of Surulere, a testament to the transformative power of service.
Rt. Hon Femi Gbajabiamila represents a rare breed of leaders in Nigeria’s political landscape. His exceptional track record, recent constituency projects, and unwavering commitment to serving his people have earned him the title of “Man of the Year.” Gbaja’s leadership skills, integrity, and dedication to the ideals of good governance make him a role model for aspiring politicians.
His story is a rebuke to the cynics who believe that Nigeria’s best days are behind her. It is a beacon of optimism for those who yearn for a nation where leaders choose people over profit, where progress trumps personal gain, and where the future whispers not of missed opportunities, but of promises realized.
As the nation awaits the unveiling of its untapped potential, Gbaja stands as a symbol of hope and a catalyst for positive change in Nigeria. With Gbaja at the helm, we can dare to dream of a brighter and more prosperous future for our great nation.

E‑Money’s Grand Gesture: A Closer Look at the SUV Gift to Chinedu “Aki” Ikedieze
E‑Money’s Grand Gesture: A Closer Look at the SUV Gift to Chinedu “Aki” Ikedieze
By George Omagbemi Sylvester | Published by SaharaWeeklyNG
“Public Generosity, Celebrity Loyalty and the Symbolism of Wealth in Nigeria’s Entertainment Elite.”
On Tuesday, February 17, 2026, Nigerian billionaire and entrepreneur Emeka Okonkwo, widely known as E‑Money, once again captured national attention with a lavish and highly publicised act of generosity, gifting a brand‑new 2024/2025 Ford SUV to veteran Nollywood actor Chinedu Ikedieze, affectionately called Aki, during his high‑profile birthday celebration.
The event, held in Lagos amidst a constellation of entertainers, business figures and socialites, was itself part of an annual tradition in which E‑Money marks his birthday (on February 18) with large‑scale giveaways and spectacular shows of material philanthropy. This year, he announced the gift of over 30 cars to friends, staff and family, a gesture that quickly went viral as videos and images circulated across social media platforms.
In the case of Ikedieze, E‑Money’s gift appeared to be deeply personal. During the festivities, E‑Money stood beside his elder brother, Grammy‑nominated musician KCee and recounted how Ikedieze stood by him at his 2007 wedding. The billionaire explained that the SUV was a “token of appreciation” for the enduring support the actor had shown over the years which is a narrative that blends friendship with public celebration.
Ikedieze, a Nollywood staple with a career spanning more than two decades and over 150 film credits, including the iconic Aki na Ukwa franchise, visibly reacted with humble surprise as he received the vehicle, bowing his head in respect and gratitude. The actor later shared the moment on his Instagram account with a caption celebrating the gift, further fuelling online engagement around the event.
Beyond the spectacle, this incident underscores evolving dynamics in Nigerian celebrity culture and the intersection of wealth, influence and reciprocity. Sociologist Dr. Chinedum Uche of the University of Lagos, speaking on the broader implications of such high‑profile gifts, notes: “Philanthropy that is highly publicised can reinforce social bonds, but it also reflects a culture where generosity is intertwined with reputation economy; where giving becomes as much a social signal as it is an act of kindness.” The quote highlights how public acts of wealth transfer among elites serve layered social functions that extend beyond pure altruism.
Critics of such displays argue that ostentatious giveaways, particularly in a country with stark economic disparities, risk amplifying social envy and exacerbating perceptions of inequality. Economist Dr. Ifunanya Nwosu from the Lagos Business School observes: “In societies marked by economic stratification, celebrity largesse may inspire admiration, but it can also inadvertently highlight structural inequities; prompting questions about systemic investment in public welfare versus individual generosity.”
Still, supporters maintain that E‑Money’s annual tradition (which has in past years included cash gifts to his brother KCee, comedians and even domestic staff) reflects genuine gratitude and a commitment to uplifting his immediate circle, albeit within the private sphere.
For Ikedieze, the SUV stands both as a heartfelt gesture from a longtime friend and a public affirmation of their enduring relationship. As the video of the moment continues to circulate, the broader narrative has ignited discussions about the role of private wealth in public life, celebrity culture and how acts of giving are interpreted in contemporary Nigerian society.
In a landscape where influence and generosity often play out in equal measure on public stages, E‑Money’s gift to Aki is more than a headline, it is a flashpoint in ongoing debates about wealth, friendship and visibility in Nigeria’s entertainment and entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Spiritual Reality: Wicked People Are Possessed by Wicked Spirits — Dr. Christian Okafor
Spiritual Reality: Wicked People Are
Possessed by Wicked Spirits — Dr. Christian Okafor
…..“You don’t need to offend them before they attack you.”
…..“Your only true help comes from God.”
Demons are strategic and calculating. They detect threats quickly and position themselves to resist any power that may expose or overpower them.
According to the Generational Prophet and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, Christian Okafor, spiritual intelligence operates both in light and in darkness—and believers must understand this reality.
Dr. Okafor delivered this message on Thursday, February 19, 2026, during the midweek Prophetic, Healing, Deliverance and Solutions Service (PHDS) held at the international headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.
The Operations of Demons
Teaching on the subject “Spiritual Reality” with the subtitle “Operations of Demons,” the Man of God explained that when demons possess individuals, their behavior changes. Such people may attack, bully, or resist those sent by God to help them, unknowingly rejecting divine assistance and prolonging their struggles.
“You don’t need to offend a demon before it attacks you,” he said. “What you carry is enough to provoke opposition. The greater your potential, the greater the battle.”
Dr. Okafor noted that many believers misinterpret battles as signs that God has abandoned them. However, he explained that some battles are permitted for growth, training, and divine glorification.
According to him, God may allow certain confrontations so that believers understand spiritual warfare and emerge stronger.
“Some battles are necessary,” he emphasized. “They push you into your turning point.”
He further stated that God does not respond to lies, blackmail, or bullying. He responds to His Word. Therefore, opposition is not proof of God’s absence, but often evidence of destiny at work.
The Weapon Against Demonic Attacks
Addressing solutions, Dr. Okafor described prayer as the strongest weapon against satanic operations.
“Prayer is the license that invites God into your battles,” he declared. “God does not intrude—He responds to invitation.”
According to the Apostle of Altars, understanding the principles and discipline of prayer enables believers to receive divine strategies for overcoming demonic resistance. Without prayer, he warned, spiritual help cannot be activated.
“You cannot receive help without God,” he concluded. “And you cannot engage God without prayer.”
Manifestations at the Service
The midweek gathering was marked by a strong move of the Spirit, with testimonies of deliverance, miracles, restoration, and solutions to various challenges presented before God. Several individuals reportedly committed their lives to Christ during the service.

Kingdom Advancement: God Does Not Confirm Lies or Gossip — He Confirms His Word .” — Dr. Chris Okafor
Kingdom Advancement: God Does Not Confirm Lies or Gossip—He Confirms His Word
“When Doing Business with God,
People’s Opinions Do Not Count.”
— Dr. Christian Okafor
The greatest investment any Christian can make is partnering with God. According to the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, Christopher Okafor, when a believer commits to serving and advancing God’s kingdom, no barrier, lie, gossip, or blackmail can prevail against them.
This message was delivered during the Prophetic Financial Sunday Service held on February 15, 2026, at the international headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.
Doing Business with God
Teaching on the theme “Kingdom Advancement” with the subtitle “Doing Business with God,” Dr. Okafor emphasized that when a believer enters into covenant partnership with God, divine backing becomes inevitable.
“God is still in the business of covenant,” he declared. “When you make a covenant with Him, He honors the terms. When you win souls into the kingdom and remain committed to His work, He rewards you with what you could never achieve by your own strength.”
The Man of God stressed that God does not confirm lies, gossip, or negative narratives—He confirms His Word. Therefore, anyone genuinely committed to kingdom business should not be distracted by public opinion.
“No matter the blackmail or falsehood circulating around you, if you are focused on God’s assignment, those attacks will only strengthen you,” he stated.
He further noted that a believer’s understanding of God’s covenant determines their experience. “Your mentality about God’s covenant becomes your reality. When you truly know the God you serve, no devil can move you.”
Biblical Examples of Kingdom Partnership
Dr. Okafor cited several biblical figures who prospered through their partnership with God:
Abel
Abel served God with sincerity and offered his very best. His sacrifice pleased God, demonstrating that when a master is honored, he responds with favor.
David
David’s heart was fully devoted to God, and in return, God’s presence and favor rested upon him throughout his life.
Hannah
Hannah made a covenant with God, promising that if He blessed her with a child, she would dedicate him to His service. After fulfilling her vow, God rewarded her abundantly, blessing her with additional children.
Peter
Peter, a professional fisherman, surrendered his boat at Jesus’ request for kingdom work. Through that act of partnership and obedience, he experienced supernatural provision and divine elevation.
Conclusion
In closing, Dr. Okafor emphasized that one’s approach to God’s covenant determines the level of success and prosperity experienced. Commitment to kingdom advancement secures divine confirmation and supernatural results.
The Prophetic Financial Sunday Service was marked by prophetic declarations, deliverance, healings, miracles, restoration, and solutions to diverse cases presented before Elohim.
