Backing Buhari

Bola Ahmed Tinubu, former governor of Lagos, and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called for all Nigerians to rally behind President Muhammadu Buhari in his bid to “clear the rot he inherited.” This call was reportedly made at the Usmanu Danfodio University where Tinubu was honored with an honorary “Doctor of Business Administration,” by the Congregation of the University at its convocation. “There is much to fix” declared Mr. Tinubu. “President Buhari is committed to fixing them.

Christians should not celebrate Easter

Christians should not celebrate Easter

Easter is not a Christian holiday. The word Easter is not even scriptural; it does not exist in true translations of the bible. Easter was smuggled into the King James Bible in Acts 12:4, where it was substituted for the original word; “Passover:” “When (Herod) had apprehended (Peter), he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.”
