Too many people are today being deceived that their future is hopeless and that nothing good can come out of it. They have been lied to by Satan that change is not possible.
The squandering of goodwill
If a week- seven days- is said to be a long time in politics, then seven years must be an eternity. Time enough at least to write your name on marble or on a shifting sand on the beach.

REPORTS of Rev. Father Ejike Mbaka’s New Year’s Eve sermon had for a short while been generating excited responses in the media before I looked to know what it was all about.
