THE “Close-Up”chat Bilesanmi Olalekan had with Justice Francis Shoremi, reported in Sunday Vanguard, October 4, was very revealing. For example, the eminent jurist is a profoundly religious man. By his own testimony, he is a church leader; a senior apostle of the Cherubim Church; patron of so many Bible societies.

IT doesn’t take a genius to segment players on the Nigerian political turf. There are the rabble rousers, the empty vessels who make all the noise, yet have virtually nothing to show for it. We have peddlers of synthetic images on television screens, pages of newspapers, and life-size billboards, no thanks to compromised, kabu-kabu journalism.

It seems you are crying louder than the berieved by making a purely spiritual matter a subject for debate in the court of public opinion, especially your choice of words such as sack and reasonable which leave much to be desired. Though, so much has been said on the matter both in favour and against the stance of the church, but one thing is clear, the Word of God can not, in any case, be applied to suit our convenience.

Out of Two God had manifested One, the Man, Male and Female. This was what Adam confessed as God brought the ‘help meet’ to him; God did not give the “help” a name.
