Happy Democracy Day Celebration

Happy Democracy Day Celebration to Nigerians.
Long Live Federal Republic of Nigeria!
When Democracy Was restored 18 years ago @Eagles Square, Abuja.
I congratulate and join Nigerians to celebrate 18 years of unbreakable democracy in Nigeria.

I remember when the campaign was going on in 1998, there were doubts about the sincerity of the military to let go of power. After Chief Obasanjo, running under the PDP defeated Chief Falae of AD-APP, every attention was on General Abdulsalam to honor the May 29, 1999 date. Then the bitter experience of June 12, 1993 annulment was still fresh in the memory of Nigerians.
At the end, democracy triumphed! Happy Democracy Day...
Nothing can replace freedom

Benin in West Africa is probably most famous for being the home of the Vodun or Vodou (more commonly known in the West as Voodoo) religion, of which Haitian Voodoo is derived.  Voodoo is one of the most complex, and therefore misunderstood religions in the world and is a far cry from the demonized version of Voodoo you see in the movies, however, there is some truth in the myth. Voodoo is a life force, culture and way of life in sync with the natural world, something few people in the Western world can truly understand. Yes, there is ‘bad’ voodoo (bad juju) and yes animals are sacrificed on a regular basis, but the majority of voodoo practices are used for good purposes. Unusual things happen in Benin and for many of the Beninese people, magic is as real as you or I. As a British person, I personally found Benin to be fascinating, weird, and wonderful. So if you’re looking for a truly ‘different’ kind of cultural adventure, then Benin...

The revered pastor lamented that many Christians who don’t know how to interpret the word of God are driving people away from the church. Kumuyi made the remarks in a sermon shared on the Facebook wall of the Ekiti State Deeper Life Church monitored by Church Times. His words, “Somebody is coming to our church for the first time. And she happens to be a lady not covering her head. We ask the person to cover her head before coming in. We don’t know whether the person does not even know God. We confront her out there before she even enters the church. We don’t know if she does not know how to pray or prophesy.
