PAF Applauds JAMB’s Conduct on the Mmesoma Ejikeme Forgery Scandal

JAMB Gives Reasons For Banning MMesoma, Tenders More Evidence

PAF Applauds JAMB’s Conduct on the Mmesoma Ejikeme Forgery Scandal

Following the public uproar generated by the Mmesoma Ejikeme vs JAMB result imbroglio, we have watched with bated breath how Nigerians have subsumed common sense, logic and rationality for emotions and sentiments which is a dent on our humanity and is rather sad and unfortunate.
PAF Applauds JAMB's Conduct on the Mmesoma Ejikeme Forgery Scandal
There’s a wise saying in our land which depicts the wisdom and rationality of the African culture and it is that “a gbo ejo enikan da, agba osika”, meaning that it is wicked and inhuman to hear one side of a story and reach a conclusion.
But sadly today, we live in interesting times in which people just want to be seen as taking sides with the presumed underdog on an issue even when the facts and evidences of the matter call for caution and point in the opposite direction.
Unfortunately also, we are gradually drifting to a pitiable state in which we delight in running down institutions of state and persons for crimes or offences lacking substance of facts and evidences.
A clear example is the recurring bashing and attack on the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Prof Mahmud Yaqub by the losing opposition parties and their supporters since the conclusion of the 2023 general elections held between February 25 and March 18 2023.
Just as the presidential election was concluded and results were being collated, the losing opposition parties alleged rigging in favour of the winner and two of them, the PDP and LP jointly addressed a press conference calling for the cancellation of the elections, but later separately held press conferences where they separately alledged that they won but that it was rigged by the electoral umpire in favour of the winner.
Hope people can see the double speak here, where parties who are alleging that a process was flawed and should be cancelled, are in the same breadth claiming victory. What manner of conscienceless people and political parties are these?
Painfully, some Nigerians echoed these sentiments and continued to do so either out of deliberate mischief or ignorance even when the petitioners have refused or been unable to show proof of how they were shortchanged through the results on form EC8A as provided for in the electoral Act, counter signed and obtained by their parties agents at the polling stations after the conclusion of announcement of results.
As expected the parties who claimed that they were rigged out by INEC in favour of the winner are in court challenging the outcome of the election and hope Nigerians are aware that till they closed their case in court last week, none of the parties even went anywhere near providing an iota of evidence of how their results scores on either form EC8A or on the IREV in any polling station out of 176, 606 polling stations nationwide was switched dubiously in favour of the winner by the electoral umpire, rather their petition at the PEPT have been focused on the eligibility of the winner or alledged double nomination of his running mate, instead of the rigging previously alledged.
PAF recalls that not too long ago, a former minister of power Prof Ositadinma Chinedu Nebo under the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan, cried out that 1 out of 3 Nigerians is suffering from mental health challenge.
The views of some Nigerians on the Mmesoma Ejikeme JAMB result forgery was ludicrous and has further exposed the urgent need for government at all levels to commit to urgent consideration, the mental health of Nigerians.
Even when JAMB publicly came out to assert that the result slip format being paraded by Miss Mmesoma Ejikeme was last used in 2021, that if anyone knows anybody who sat for JAMB in 2023, that they should cross check. But not some Nigerians, to whom everything about government is bad and evil without proof.
How people could be so brazen to thump their chests in support of a 19 years old girl that she is too small to engage in such crime beats our imagination. PAF also recollects a wise saying that, “A mother can only vouch for the pregnancy she is carrying, but not even the baby she is backing”. This proverb is to show that man is capable of anything, so the issue of her age should not be a yardstick or haven’t we heard of minors committing murder and other heinous crimes?
We witnessed the beast in our humanity with the way we have handled this matter which was totally unnecessary because it was a clear case of forgery. Some persons were even calling for the investigation of the matter by the secret police DSS, when it’s a fact that the crime being alledged was purely within the purview of the Nigeria police to do the needful.
Patriotism Awareness Forum can attest that the present leadership of JAMB under Prof. Ishaq Oloyede is one of the most credible, accountable and transparent public organizations in Nigeria today and efforts to impugn its integrity through the criminal efforts of some unpatriotic elements cannot stand.
We are happy that Mmesoma has owned up to JAMB’s position that the result she was parading was fake and justified the integrity of JAMB in the entire saga.
What is remaining is for those who sold mischief and ethnic slant into the issue to prod the girl on to apologize to JAMB and all Nigerians on this issue.
PAF wants to let Nigerians know that supporting fraud and encouraging unpatriotic actions eventually affect Nigerians negatively so we need to be united in discouraging the fad to support crimes and evil because of the person that commits them. We all have a patriotic task to encourage institutional best practice for the benefit of us all.
PAF pats JAMB on the back for its present conducts as we identify with the positive inclination of the Prof. Oloyede leadership of JAMB. We urge JAMB to remain focused on its core mandate and refuse to be distracted from its glorious path because of the antics of dedicated unpatriotic citizens and their seedy means.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Thank you.
Yours Sincerely

Why Primate Ayodele Is Sad About The Death Of Iranian President, Ebrahim Raisi

Primate Ayodele Becomes The Most-Sought After Prophet In Togo* By Serge Ayao, Lome

*Why Primate Ayodele Is Sad About The Death Of Iranian President, Ebrahim Raisi

During an interview with PUNCH Newspapers recently, Primate Ayodele revealed that sometimes, he prays that his prophecies don’t come to pass, especially the ones people regard as ‘bad prophecies’ even though there are no good or bad prophecies; prophecies are just what they are.

The unfortunate death of Iranian President, Ebrahim Raisi is one of the many reasons Primate Ayodele prays against the fulfillment of his prophecies. He is just a vessel of God with the burden of giving divine revelations to people around the world and sometimes, it could be difficult knowing the way humans perceive ‘bad’ prophecies but what would a prophet do? He still has to prophesy according to what he received from the one who sent him; GOD.

At one of his annual press conference, Primate Ayodele was asked by a journalist about why he doesn’t celebrate his prophecies when they come to pass and his response was that he doesn’t feel happy when his prophecies come to pass and even though people handle prophetic revelations lackadaisical, He would rather pray for them to turn their ears towards the words of God instead of celebrate his prophecies.

With the sudden death of President Ebrahim Raisi, the emotional state of Primate Ayodele cannot be gainsaid; He would be mourning at the moment not because he is related to the late president but because he warned in 2023 that a very prominent president in the world will kick the bucket in 2024.

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, the country’s foreign minister and others were found dead at the site of a helicopter crash after an hours long search through a foggy, mountainous region of the country’s northwest, state media reported. Raisi was 63.

State TV gave no immediate cause for the crash in Iran’s East Azerbaijan province. With Raisi were Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, the governor of Iran’s East Azerbaijan province and other officials and bodyguards, the state-run IRNA news agency reported.

Meanwhile, in a video dated 5th of November 2023, Primate Ayodele stated that the world will lose a prominent president in 2024.

Also, in his 90-page 2024 prophecies which were released in December 2023, Primate Ayodele asked the world to pray because he foresees the death of a sitting president in the coming year.

These were his words:

‘’The spirit of God says we must rebuke another outbreak of CoronaVirus and Ebola Virus in Africa and some other parts of the world. Let us pray not to record the death of a onetime Prime Minister, a sitting Prime Minister, a sitting President and a former President in the world.’’

Many may be wondering why Primate Ayodele didn’t specifically mention the name of President Ebrahim Raisi in his prophecies but people must know that all prophecies of God-inspired and an addition or subtraction from them would be disobedience to God’s instruction; if God allows you to mention names, you can but if he doesn’t allow you, refrain from mentioning names.

It would be recalled that in the interview with Punch Newspaper, Primate Ayodele explained why he sometimes mentions names of individuals in his prophecies and why sometimes, he doesn’t.

‘’ So when I say pray against the death of traditional rulers, is it not a good recommendation? When God says I should mention a name, I do, and when he doesn’t instruct me to mention a name I don’t because I’m not in charge of the prophecy. Sometimes when I mention names people still say I am fake, maybe because the person is old; so I am not saying anything to satisfy anybody.’’

‘’I’m the first to say that King Charles will have an ailment and I mentioned his name based on instructions, Sometimes God will instruct me to keep the prophecy but contact the person and tell him/her to pray.’’

‘’I love my critics because they make me more prepared; I started talking to journalists in 1994 and my first prophecy was published in Lagos Weekend Times when I said the Super Eagles would win Tunis 1994 and it is on record. So, is it now that I will say I’m afraid to say specifically what would happen?’’

https://punchng.com/i-told-tinubu-in-2001-he-would-be-president-primate-ayodele/

Summarily, if a prophet warns a group against any unfortunate incident, it is imperative that every member of such a group commit themselves to prayers but if the warnings are taken lightly, there’s every tendency that the unexpected happens and sometimes, it may be disastrous.

The MD re emphasized the President’s interest in giving Nigerians befitting not just houses, but livable and affordable ones, a factor that featured prominently in his manifesto. He said that it is in looking for a way to factor in the officers and men of the Nigeria Army that the visit to the Chief of Army Staff became most imperative. To under pin the seriousness FHA has in providing houses to the Army personnel for their sacrifices in protecting the nation, Hon Ojo noted that he had earlier paid a similar visit to the Chief of Defence Staff.

According to the FHA boss, ” We have come to discuss how to provide not just houses to the Nigeria Army, but livable and affordable ones “. Speaking further, the MD noted , “it is only proper for the Army to defend us as we are to shelter you. We therefore want to have a synergy with you”.

Hon Ojo while commending the efforts of the force to provide houses for its personnel, noted that due to the spread of of the officers and men throughout the nook and crannies of the country, it will be highly challenging to provide houses for them. In his words, he said, “despite your housing projects in parts of the country, you have many men all over the country, whom you can not reach. We want a partnership that will get to all your men throughout the country “.

The FHA MD was emphatic on the resolution of the Authority’s management at targeting the junior officers. This he revealed is why the houses would be delivered as carcas, where the exterior would have a prototype finishing, with electricals and plumbing, leaving the interior finishing to individual taste and capacity. He noted that it is needless to impose finishing on people, which is what makes disposal prices of houses to go beyond the reach of the very junior one. ” We want to do a project the soldiers can afford. That is why our management has decided to deliver carcas”, he added.

Hon Ojo also pointed that the morale of the soldiers would be highly boosted if they know that they have livable houses of their own during and post service.

As an incentive, the FHA boss said the Authority would consider the men of Nigeria Army at a reduced price. This he said has been made possible because some of the Governor’s have given the Authority land free in their states. This he said would greatly reduce the cost.

The MD also noted that the Value Chain of Housing construction would create direct and indirect jobs, engage our youths and help check insecurity.

He therefore said that once buy – in of the Army is secured, FHA’s team would meet the Army’s team for the designs.
In his response, the Chief of Army Staff stated that the Nigeria Army welcomes the initiative to provide houses for its personnel. The Army according to him is highly disposed to providing an enabling environment for the soldiers in and outside service.

Speaking further, General Lagbaja noted that the Army is highly concerned about the families of the personnel, which is a major reason why it engages in building houses. “We are focused on the families of our men. That is why we engage in building. We are not in competition with FHA”, he said.

The COAS pointed out that the soldiers need lots of support, especially due to the nature of their deployment. He noted that the Army needs FHA because of the Authority’s capacity and r
