Jesus is God incarnation on the earth.

In other words Jesus is God in human form.

Despite the revelation of Jesus Christ as God many still stick to their idols and fail to identify with him and accept him as God but prefer to identify with the things that are not true. 

He did many signs and taught many truths which made many accept him as their God but some people prefer to stick with their lies and till this day they seek to destroy his testimonies and make many who accepts him as lord and savior enemies.

He left and went back to heaven which is his abode but promised those who believe him the power to become a child of God.

 In other words the power to do anything that he has done even all the miracles he has performed and the power to live above sin.

It doesn't matter who believes or not God is God.

The ultimate desire of God is to live with us as father and sons.

And reign as king and princes but Satan seek day and night that the will of God will not be fulfilled.

Nevertheless the will of God will be fulfilled come what may. 

United States President Donald Trump spoke glowingly and publicly about the Nigeria's First Lady at the 74th National Prayer Breakfast held in Washington, DC.

Nigerians can feel proud of her by the way the US president spoke about her and the Redeemed church of God and indeed the body of Christ in Nigeria.

The incident brought to rememberance the story of the biblical story of Esther of old.

Remember that heither to Nigerian Christians and indeed the religious bodies in Nigeria have been maligned for not reflecting Godly teachings because of the many atttrocities some had carried out on their behalf.

This latest development is a challenge to the world that Christians cannot be judged by a few bad eggs.

The National Prayer Breakfast is an annual event that brings political and faith leaders all over the world together. 

Federal High Court sitting in Abuja may have set a new record after sentencing a former managing director of the Nigerian Export-Import (NEXIM) Bank, Robert Orya, to 490 years in prison over N2.4 billion fraud.

He was found guilty for all the 49 charges and sentenced 10 years each for all the charges amounting to 490 years but terms are however expectedly to run concurrently.

Orya was managing director of Nexim between 2006 to 2016. And was taken to court in 2021.

The EFCC accused him of defrauding the Nexim bank by using fictitious names to collect loans and refusing to pay back. 

All these posts, talks flying around saying
“Put gift”. “Put loan”. “Put disbursement”, in your transfer narration will NOT save you from tax.

Let me repeat it slowly:

Narration does not protect you.
Narration is not proof.

Let me explain why.

There have been many posts online telling people:
“If you want to send me money, just put ‘gift’.”
“Put loan.”
“Put support.”
“Put disbursement.”

Understand this clearly;

The Nigeria Revenue Service is NOT taxing you based on narration.

They are not even paying attention to it.

The system watches INFLOW.

That’s all.

Not grammar.
Not English.
Not “gift”.

They watch:
• Volume
• Frequency
• Pattern

Imagine this:

For years, the total money entering your account is about
₦1 million per year.

Suddenly:
₦1 billion starts entering your account in one year.

Not once.
Maybe 4 times in a year.

Each time:
You write “gift” as narration.

Let me ask you a simple question:

Do you honestly think the system will say:

“Oh, he wrote gift. Let us ignore it”?

No.

Because:
Anybody can type anything.

If narration was proof:
Everyone would escape tax by typing “gift”.

That’s why:
• Narration is not evidence
• Narration is not verification
• Narration is not protection

What matters is:
PATTERN + VOLUME

Let me also be honest with you.

If a large amount enters your account suddenly:
• Banks flag it
• Reports are filed
• Questions are asked

Sometimes, other agencies are notified.

So this idea that:
“Just put gift and relax”

is dangerous advice.

 Does This Mean Gifts Are Taxed?

NO.

Gifts can be tax-exempt.

But here is the difference:
You must PROVE it is a gift.

Not by narration. By evidence.

Narration is for YOU, not the taxman.

It helps you:
• Remember transactions
• Match transfers with records
• Reconcile your books

For Example:
You open your statement and see: ₦50,000 “Transport to Moniya market”

Immediately:
You remember what it was for
You can find it in your records

That’s the real purpose of narration.

So, as smart Citizens, If money enter your account and you are asked:
“What is this?”

Your answer should not be: “Check the narration”

Your answer should be:
“Here is the record”
“Here is the explanation”
“Here is the supporting detail”

No record?

The system assumes income.

Narration is not a tax strategy.
Narration is not a loophole.
Narration is not evidence.

It is just a note to yourself.

What protects you is:
• Structure
• Records
• Consistency
• Honesty

Stop looking for shortcuts.
Start building structure.

The system is no longer emotional. It is digital.

Chelsea are left biting their fingers after former Chelsea man Kai Havert rounded goalkeeper Sanchez up before putting the ball into the net yesterday and booked a place for the Gonners in the final in Wemble.

The two teams ended the first leg 2-3 with Arsenal taking a goal advantage to the Emirate stadium.

And Chelsea put in a spirited display with a determination to turnaround the first leg deficit but it was not to be as they were up against Arsenal who has the best defensive record in the league.

In the end they came off with a defeat giving the Gonners a well deserved Wembey final ticket.

Chelsea coach Liam Rosenior got it all wrong from the beginning when he started five men  in the defense which made Arsenal very comfortable because they had a goal advantage. It was okay for them to just sit back and allow Chelsea to attack 

Arsenal will play against either Man. City or Newcastle in the finals. 

After the last champion league qualifying games Played last night across Europe, only Newcastle failed to qualify for the European elite cup competition's round of sixteen automatically and has to play play-off to be able to participate in the round of sixteen.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham Chelsea and Manchester City all qualified for the round of sixteen.

Newcastle will however have to wait for the conclusion of a two legged play-off to find out if it will play in the round of sixteen. 

The governor of Oyo state His excellency Governor Seyi Makinde recently held a press conference where he accused the President of Nigeria Bola Ahmed Tinubu of betraying the agreement they had before he supported the President for his election.

Makinde was to nominate a minister which he did but his candidate was not appointed and he promised not support the President's second term bid.

However and to the surprise of everyone Makinde went back to Aso rock thereafter to visit the President and the question everyone is asking is why does he have to pay another political visit to the President after the press conference.

Was it to beg Tinubu for speaking so loudly about his dissension with regards to the 2027 election which of course is popular in certain quarters and to rewrite himself in the good book of the President without the President's enemies knowing what is going on so he will be popular with the President's enemies and still be good in the President's books.

But isn't that rather crooked. Like Robbing Peter to pay Paul.

The President of course decided to keep him at arm length in the mean time and since then Makinde has been firing different kinds of salvos at the President who had resorted to reply the Oyo state governor with silence.

What's the difference between Fubara and Makinde?

They have a lot in common don't they. Desirous to be acceptable like Tinubu or Wike  but not willing to pay the price.

Always playing to the gallery for cheap popularity but never able bear the cost.

Fubara wants to fight Wike but is looking for Tinubu to fight Wike for him so he can enjoy the victory.

Makinde wants to grow but wants to use Tinubu to grow like he used Ajimobi.

One needs to be very careful with all these little characters looking for desperate leaders to use for their ego trips.

Recently Makinde remarked that the federal government does not listen to the truth.

According to the procedure eight teams will qualify for the champions league round of sixteen directly without play-off matches which are  necessary for the remaining best sixteen to qualify.

The last eight teams will end their own champions league journey after the last league phase match.

Eight teams will qualify out of the remaining sixteen teams play-off matches to join the first eight in the round of sixteen.

Then eight will emerge for the quarterfinals.

The eight teams expected to qualify directly are Arsenal, Bayern Munchen, Real Madrid, Liverpool, PSG, Barcelona, Man City, Inter Milan.

The three people you need to win elections in Kano state are Senetor Ibrahim Shikarau, Alh. Rabiu Kwankwanso and Alh Ganduje. The three of them are the powerhouse of Kano state politics. If APC can get two of them It will win the Kano state elections. But It'll depend on how they manage Senator Shekarau. Whom both had defied at one time or the other to their regret 

In 1999, Rabiu Musa Kwankwanso established himself as the powerhouse of Kano politics when he became governor of Kano state on the platform of PDP. Ganduje was his deputy.

But Shekarau contested on the platform of ANPP against Kwankwanso in 2003 and won. To establish himself as another powerhouse in Kano State. He remained in office till 2011 before Kwankwanso came back with Ganduje as deputy to spend another 4 years for his second term.

After completing his second term he made Ganduje returned to office  as governor in 2015. But Ganduje now a powerhouse on his own fell out with Kwankwanso and moved into the APC to contest for governor in APC and was able to defeat Kwankwanso with the help of Shekarau in the 2019 elections for his second term. 

Shekarau left the PDP where he served as Minister, in search of a Senetorial ticket when he was denied the senatorial ticket in PDP and joined Ganduje in APC.

In 2019 Shekarau won the senatorial election together with Ganduje as governor and APC remained the strongest party in Kano state.

In 2023 Shekarau was denied the senatorial ticket again in APC. The mistake kwankwanso made that cost PDP Kano state in 2019 is the mistake made by Ganduje in 2023 and Shekarau joined Kwankwanso where both of them moved to NNPP.

Abba Yusuf got the gubernatorial ticket and Shekarau got the senatorial ticket. Both won the election and APC lost out , So the pendulum of power swung back to NNPP in Kano state.

Kwankwanso cannot win Kano state by himself. With Shekarau and Abba Yusuf in APC with Ganduje, Kano state will be APC's for the taking.
