‘I’m ready to return to my teaching Job’ – Former President, Goodluck Jonathan

Published

on

 

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed his readiness to return to the classroom if offered such opportunity, especially at the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt.

Jonathan disclosed this yesterday while speaking at the 35th and 36th combined convocation ceremony of the Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt where he was conferred with “Icon of Democracy” award.

The former president, who left office in 2015, expressed gratitude to the institution for the honour done to him.

He said: “I want to specially thank the Senate of the University for considering my family worthy of double honours, to wit: the conferment of the honour of Icon of Democracy on me and the naming of the new Automated University Library after my wife, Dame Patience Jonathan.

“I always attach so much importance to any recognition coming from home because I strongly believe that no prize commands higher value than the one given by the beneficiary’s direct constituency.”
Jonathan stated that the visit is like homecoming for him, as a former lecturer in the Rivers State College of Education, which was upgraded to a full-fledged university.

The former president said: “Let me also say that I had good job satisfaction here, compared to all the other places I have worked. I know that the only major challenge academic staff face is with the reward system, considering the fact that as a nation, we are yet to get to the point where we pay our teachers the wages they deserve.

“However, for all the hindrances teachers face, they derive a fulfilling experience and satisfaction from the special relationship they cultivate with their students. This is because bringing up the young ones is very rewarding in a very distinct manner. The bond, friendship and sense of loyalty are eternal.

“Even today, the way my former students regard and relate with me is different from the way my fellow politicians relate with me, even those I mentored.”

‘I Cry Because of the Burdens People Carry’ – Pastor Jerry Eze Opens Up on Emotional Prayer Sessions

Renowned Nigerian televangelist and founder of Streams of Joy International, Pastor Jerry Eze, has revealed the deep emotional weight behind his tearful prayer sessions, sparking conversations among his followers.

Speaking during an interview to mark the fifth anniversary of his popular online prayer platform, NSPPD (New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declarations), Pastor Eze explained that his tears are not mere theatrics but a reflection of his overwhelming compassion for the countless people who seek divine intervention.

“The Bible says we do not have a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities,” he stated. “I have always known myself to be a very compassionate person, and coming into ministry, I realized that compassion is an inevitable tool for the miraculous.”

According to him, his inbox is flooded daily with heartbreaking messages from people facing unimaginable hardships, making it impossible for him to remain indifferent. He recounted a particularly devastating story: “How do you make this kind of prayer? You see a woman who lost her husband, tried to remarry, lost the second one, and after everything, tried to marry a third time only to lose him too. How do you not feel that?”

Pastor Jerry Eze’s tearful prayers have become a signature aspect of his ministry, drawing millions to his online services. His explanation has further solidified his reputation as a pastor deeply moved by the struggles of his congregation, with many testifying to miraculous turnarounds after his intercessions.

While some critics have questioned his emotional displays, his followers see them as a sign of genuine empathy and spiritual burden. As NSPPD continues to grow globally, Pastor Eze remains committed to his calling, declaring, “What God cannot do does not exist!”

Governor Monday Okpebholo aide condemn killing in Uromi…..

No amount of pressure, frustration, or disagreement should ever justify the taking of another person’s life. Life is sacred, and the act of unlawfully ending someone else’s existence goes against the fundamental principles of justice, morality, and human dignity.

With that being said, the tragic incident that occurred yesterday in Uromi, the administrative headquarters of Esan North East where about eight person of the Hausa community where allegedly identified to be kidnappers beaten and burnt alive, is deeply condemnable. It is disheartening to witness such acts of violence within the uromi community, where peace and unity should be the guiding principles. The behavior exhibited during this unfortunate event was not only unnecessary but also unacceptable, as it disregarded the values of justice and respect for human life.

In times like this, we must remind ourselves that violence only leads to pain, loss, and division. As a people, we must strive for peaceful resolutions to any issues that may arise from our community and uphold the virtues of patience, understanding, and dialogue. No grievance, no matter how severe, should push anyone to commit such a grievous act.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones of the departed. May their soul rest in eternal peace. Amen.

May God heal the land, restore peace, and guide us towards a society built on love, justice, and mutual respect.

Daniel Eromosele Aka Pikolo,
Chief Protocol,
Edo State Government.
