THE EUPHRATES RIVER IS DRYING UP: SIGNS OF THE END AND THE LORD'S RETURN

Message to the whole world

The Euphrates River is found in Western Asia, it flows from Turkey through Syria, and Iraq and empties into the Persian Gulf. In the Christian bible, it is significant as a symbol of God's power over the natural world that He has created. When it dries out, it is a sign that the end times are coming.

In Genesis 2:14, the Euphrates is one of four rivers that flow from the Garden of Eden. This suggests that the Euphrates is a place of fertility and abundance. Genesis 15:18 mentions the Euphrates River as one of the boundaries of the land God promises to Abraham, and Deuteronomy 1:7 and Joshua 1:4 mention the Euphrates when describing the land God promises to the Israelites. Those passages present the Euphrates as a place of hope and promise.

However, Jeremiah 50:38-39 describes the Euphrates River drying up in the future because of God’s judgment against sin. God declares in those verses: “A drought on her waters! They will dry up. For it is a land of idols, idols that will go mad with terror. … It will never again be inhabited or lived in from generation to generation.”

Ultimately, the biblical meaning of the Euphrates drying up is a matter of interpretation and debate. What is clear, however, is that the image of the river running dry is a powerful symbol of the spiritual dryness that can afflict people who turn away from God.

Pondering the Euphrates drying up during the end times – whenever that takes place – is a sobering reminder that God is in control of history. He will bring judgment on the world for its sin, but he will also protect his people. We can trust in God, even in the midst of the darkest of times.

WE ARE ALL IYA CHUKWUDI https://africonsblogspotcom.mozellosite.com/.../params/post/

WE ARE ALL IYA CHUKWUDI.

A recent remark by the Lagos State Park Management Committee Chairman, Musiliu Akinsanya, also known as MC Oluomo, has generated a social media storm. The remark directed at a woman whom he called Iya Chukwudi, warned her to remain in her home and not bother coming out to exercise her franchise if she will not vote for candidates of the All Progressives Candidate (APC) in today’s gubernatorial and state assembly election. This pronouncement, one of many in recent

times, has come as no surprise to me and many Nigerians as his notoriety for verbal ethnic vitriolage seems to pass for entertainment in the ears of the authorities with zero police invitation till date. He remains a free rambler wielding the torch of implosion over dry grass in the valley of delicate ethnic balance. I am bemused by his insistence on this path and the dead or conniving silence of the authorities despite being an employee of the state.

In a manner reminiscing his nervous mien in the post-Lekki Toll Gate shooting interview with CNN, incumbent governor and APC guber candidate, Governor Jide Sonwolu, has condemned the ethnic turn of politics in the state calling on proponents to desist forthwith. However, with characters like MC Oluomo giving fuel to the sentiment and allowed to roam free, his words are without any effect. It is clear, without any doubt, that MC Oluomo is dancing a tune from the dark forest of impunity by big drums resonating at the call of interest by political big wigs in the state and beyond. We are aware of the heightened dissonance among politicians of the old order on what

should be done to disband the youth – driven Obidient Movement which has united Nigerians across ethnic, religious, and ideological lines since mid – 2022 neutralizing their usual four – year poison. The goal is to precipitate fear, shrink hope, extinguish the fire of political participation and force the Nigerian voter back to the cocoon of apathy. Hence, the desperation of political desperados and opportunists in Lagos State in particular is not surprising at all. Like I said in an

earlier article, the fall of an old political order hardly passes without a fight. Nigerians must be awake to their gimmicks and desperate attempts to perpetuate the enthronement of ineptitude.

I call on INEC’s president – elect, Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to rein in his dog. We have come a long way in our nationhood to be cajoled by a stale ethnic politics. Our focus, as is with the Obedient Movement, is on the enthronement of competence, character, capacity and compassion in our Government Houses and State Houses of assembly so that dividends can be driven to their appropriate destinations without diversions to personal coffers. People like MC Oluomo represent

the past that we must never return to. Nigeria has moved on to better days. We cannot afford to make this unfortunate U-turn. He must be made to understand that no one individual or group is greater than the state anywhere in the world. This is also a historical truth looking at the histories of the great kingdoms of Africa and the city states of Europe and the Americas.

It is important to note that the moment he spat that warning, Iya Chukwudi became a superstructure of the global Obidient family. A symbol of defiance. A finger in the face of the old political order.

A vote for the promise of a New Nigeria. She became a voice shouting down the wall of disenfranchisement by the hasty declaration cum seeming politicization of the famous Oro Festival. Iya Chukwudi is us, the Igbo, who have been told that Lagos is not our land despite years of living, investing and contributing to its development. The Yoruba who have been sold a lie that the Igbo want to take over Lagos State and establish a pseudo Igbo state averse to established culture and practices. She is the average Lagosian, a trader, who has been threatened with arson and all sorts of intimidation to submit to the call to rate ethnicity over competence. But today, she will go out and vote. For in her heart she knows that Lagos is Our Own. And we must be part of

recruiting its next leaders. She knows that this is the right thing to do as it gives her the right to demand accountability and call for the recall of any public official. She has her vote. She knows what power it holds and that her life does not deserve to be wasted in the next four years. She will

vote and stay like Mrs. Jennifer Efidi, to defend her vote.

I am Iya Chukwudi. You are Iya Chukwudi. We are Iya Chukwudi. Let us go out today and make the right choice for Our Lagos.

National Coordinator,

Yell Out Nigeria.

OUR VOTES MUST COUNT #BIVAS2IREV!!!

OUR VOTES MUST COUNT

The disgraceful conduct of yesterday’s presidential, and national assembly elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will convince the stiffest sceptic that the electoral umpire is the worst enemy of Nigeria. With collaborators from the APC and PDP, INEC has proceeded to sit on the will of the Nigerian people to force it from fruition. Reports from Lagos, Port Harcourt, other southern states and the north, show further collusion by security operatives and electoral officials including corps members to prosecute the greatest electoral fraud in the history of our country.

All assurances by President Muhammadu Buhari, to ensure a free, fair, credible and all-inclusive polls grew stale on Election Day coalescing into a seeming grand plan to stifle the chances of the real winner of the the 2023 general election. We wish there was a better way to tell this tragic tale of a nation deeply in search of its soul.

From snatching of ballot boxes, destruction, mutilation and voiding of votes, threatening of voters with ethnic slurs, late arrival of election materials, non-transmission of results to the server, voting by minors,

and many more, these atrocious activities grow in deliberateness. We know what they are about. We expected them. The fall of an old order can hardly pass without a fight. And we did not expect it to be any less shameful. Though these actions tarnish our country’s image, they do not represent us or the New Nigeria that must come. We are aware of their plan to through these actions force Nigerians from the place of love and dedication to country, which has grown since the youth Movement launched into the public eye, thus perpetuating the false narrative that Nigerians hate their country.

As INEC has demonstrated to all and sundry that it is biased, unprofessional, incompetent and incapable, we have no choice than to pass a vote of no confidence on the chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu and the entire management team. There is no better time to give Nigerians a credible poll than now when the country sits on what can best be described as a keg of gun powder amidst existential challenges.

The youth of Nigeria are resolute in our desire to see the birth of a New Nigeria. We will not fall to intimidation by anyone or allow the pilfery of our common will. INEC should allow the people of Nigeria

to decide their leaders and protect them while they are at it. President Muhammadu Buhari must live up to his oath of office to see that Nigerians are given their due in terms of their choices this past Saturday.

There can be no other way. Or his legacy, whatever is left of it, is terribly on the line. Yes, he will always be remembered as the president under whose watch our compatriots were massacred at Lekki Toll Gate during the #endsars protest of 2020. We will sure remember him as the president who sat on the worst presidential and national assembly elections in the history of our country. We will never forget his silence

in the face of raging electoral impunity.

We therefore call on all Nigerians whose hearts are seared with the desire for a New Nigeria to rise up and defend our votes. It is our constitutional right to do so and we will do it with every sense of duty. This election is about protecting our right to exist as dignified citizens of a unified country. We spoke on Saturday but INEC and it’s collaborators - certain elements in the police and military, and their thugs, chose the shameful path of dishonesty to disallow us our God-given right to choose our leaders. The world is watching and recording the efforts of Nigerians to protect their votes and defend their choices. We are currently at various polling units, collation centers and online platforms raising our voices against this abomination of an election conducted by INEC. The greatest legacy of democracy is the power of choice. It must be protected with every fiber of the law by those who hold leadership positions.

The journey to a New Nigeria is a movement of the people of Nigeria and no force under this heaven can force it from its roots. We will match for our future, for the good of our country, to protect our choices

and our right to exist. Our votes must count.

PETER OBI REJECTS 2023 PRESIDENTIAL RESULT

PETER OBI REJECTS 2023 PRESIDENTIAL RESULT, MAKE A STRONG SPEECH

Dear Nigerians,

1. On 25th February 2023, Nigerians trooped out en masse to participate in what was promised and expected to be free, fair and transparent presidential and National Assembly elections. But in all things, we are enjoined to give thanks.

2. First to Almighty God for the privilege of making Datti Baba-Ahmed and I, the tools to champion the cause of a New Nigeria that will fundamentally enhance the fortunes of our dear country. Let me also appreciate and thank all Nigerians that participated in our last election, especially those who believed and tirelessly worked for a New Nigeria and voted for us. My profound thanks go to the youths, ‘Obidients’ and support groups for your commitment and resilience for a better Nigeria. You truly showed that you can take back your country!

3. We continue to pray for the repose of the souls of all Nigerians killed during the campaigns and for those that were violently attacked. We pray for their quick recovery. We reiterate our total condemnation of such attacks and continue to demand that security agencies stop further attacks and bring perpetrators to book.

4. The commitment and resilience of Nigerians, even in the face of unwarranted and barbaric attacks is a testimony that a New Nigeria is indeed Possible. The Lady, Jennifer Efidi who was stabbed but insisted on exercising her right to vote and indeed all Nigerians who voted during the election are the shining stars leading us to a New Nigeria!

5. The election has been conducted and results announced as programmed. It is a clear deviation from the electoral rules and guidelines as we were promised and did not meet the minimum criteria of a free, transparent, credible and fair election devoid of voter intimidation and suppression, and late commencement of voting in some specific states.

6. This will probably go down as one of the most controversial elections ever conducted in Nigeria. The good and hardworking people of Nigeria have again been robbed by the institutions and leaders whom we trusted.

7. However, let me humbly and most respectfully appeal to all Nigerians to remain peaceful, law-abiding and conduct themselves in a most responsible manner. Please be assured that for Datti and I, and indeed for all of us, this is not the end, but the beginning of the journey to birth a New Nigeria.

8. Datti Baba-Ahmed and I remain absolutely undaunted and deeply committed to this project of a New Nigeria that will be built on honesty, transparency, fairness, justice and equity. All of these start with the process – the process through which people are elected to office is as important (if not more important) than what they do thereafter with the office and authority.

9. If we seek to be called Your Excellency, then the process through which we are elected should also be excellent or sufficiently credible to generate the required confidence and moral authority to govern and lead. As you all know, the destruction of a society can be a gradual or sudden process through acts such as deliberate refusal to obey the rule of law and via the suppression of the will of the people.

10. Let me reiterate and assure my good people of Nigeria that we will follow all available legal and peaceful procedures to reclaim our mandate.

11. I urge you all to continue with your campaigns and troop out on Saturday 11th March 2023 to vote massively again for Labour Party, LP, (Mama, Papa and Pikin) in the Governorship and State Assembly Elections. Please do not despair at a time when we can still achieve massive victories in the forthcoming elections on the 11th of March 2023.

Federal Government and Supreme Court to allow the old Naira notes to be used as legal tender until 31st December, 2023

Supreme Court and Federal Government on Friday extended the validity of old naira notes to 31st December, 2023
