"What I Saw in Uma Ukpai's Crusade'" by Onyeji Nnaji

Image
As a child growing up in the east, Igbo land, in the late 190s; the gospel atmosphere was dominated by a single voice which analyzed the scripture like a piece of cake and rained songs in the air like roaring thunder. The voice was so captivating that even the songs we used to sing turned everywhere different when it came out of this man. I listened to various of his tape and I found one thing very special. Uma sang songs more than he could preach or pray. This was unique among the ministers I had known about that time. So, I desired more to see him than listening to tapes. In my SS2 in the prestigious Union Secondary School, Eha-Amufu, I was fortunate to work under the anointed minister I have craved to, at least, see. He was conducting his usual city-wide crusade. This time it was the turn of Nsukka zone and Eha-Amufu was incorporated. I was selected by the Methodist church to minister in songs and work as an ursher in the crusade. The preparation took me a whole lot of time. Several...

On Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the operation, identifying Tangsiri as the high-ranking official “directly responsible” for the mining and blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. “The IDF eliminated the commander of the IRGC Navy, the person directly responsible for the terror operation of mining and blocking the Strait of Hormuz to maritime traffic,” Katz said during a morning assessment with military officials. “We will continue to operate in Iran with full force to achieve the objectives of the war.” Additionally, Prime Min...

While speaking at the event, Isaa...

(Photo by David Maialetti-Pool/Getty Images) A California jury awarded a woman named Donna Motsinger millions on Monday after finding Bill Cosby liable for a 1972 sexual assault. Motsinger is currently 84 years old. At the time of the assault in 1972, she was in her 30s and working as a restaurant server in Sausalito, California. The jury found the 88-year-old comedian liable for drugging and sexually assaulting Motsinger. They initially awarded her $19.25 million, $17.5 million for past suffering and $1.75 million for future emotional distress. However, just hours later, following a second phase of deliberations to determine if Cosby acted with “malice,” the jury added an additional $40 million in punitive damages, bringing the total to $59.25 million....

BRITAIN'S BILL IS DUE. WHY THE UK HAS REFUSED TO TALK ABOUT BIAFRA:

Image
Written by Mike Arnold. Word is, my biggest sin in Washington isn’t what I’ve said about the genocide. It’s what I’ve said about the British. More specifically, I had the audacity to publicly say the B word: Biafra. Not as an advocate for separation, mind you — only for historical context. I have never advocated for Biafran secession. I have communicated their righteous grievances.  I have also called on them repeatedly to lay down that talk for now and band together across tribal lines to end the evil regime strangling the entire nation. Only when the stranglehold is broken can every people group draw their own map in peace. But I believe — fundamentally, non-negotiably — that every people group has the right to choose their own path. And what the British did to them is a vast, horrific, ongoing evil.  And apparently, that is the most dangerous thing I can say in Washington. More dangerous than naming the genocide  and those behind jt.  More dangerous than exposing the lobb...

(Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) President Donald Trump announced on Monday a five-day extension of his ultimatum for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, noting that “productive” high-level negotiations are underway with a “respected” Iranian official to resolve the four-week-old conflict. However, Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad ⁠Baqher Ghalibaf later responded to the statement by claiming that President Trump’s assertion about ending the ongoing conflict was untrue. “No negotiations have been held with the U.S., and fakenews is used to manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the...
