Many ladies who marry pastors don’t realize what they’re stepping into. Knowing his weaknesses shouldn’t make you despise him. While the church holds him in high esteem, familiarity can tempt you to dishonor him. A pastor’s wife must be his pillar, not his critic. 💡

"UNGUARDED MOMENTS OF HAPPINESS".
------—-------------------------------
Happiness is a beautiful gift, but when uncontrolled, it can become a trap that leads to disaster. Sadly, many lives have been cut short not because of sorrow, but because of unguarded moments of joy.

Take a recent incident: a group of young men, returning from a festival, were so overwhelmed with excitement that they drove carelessly, over-speeding as they laughed and shouted.

The celebration turned to tragedy in seconds — they crashed their vehicle, leaving six of them dead and many others seriously injured.

This is not an isolated case. Across the world, countless tragedies have stemmed from moments of unchecked happiness:

Parties turned fatal: young people celebrating birthdays or promotions often mix alcohol with reckless driving, leading to road accidents.

Weddings gone wrong: in some cases, gunshots fired into the air during weddings or ceremonies have accidentally hit innocent celebrants, ending lives at the peak of joy.

Sporting celebrations: fans celebrating football victories sometimes stampede in stadiums or on the streets, leading to avoidable deaths.

Holiday excitement: during festive seasons like Christmas and New Year, firecrackers, careless driving, and overindulgence in alcohol cause fires, accidents, and hospitalisations.

The Bible warns in Ecclesiastes 7:4: “The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.” This is not a call against joy, but a reminder that wisdom must guide even our happiest moments.

True joy is expressed in moderation, gratitude, and self-control. Celebration should never lead to destruction.

Let every person remember: one careless decision in the height of happiness can erase a lifetime of opportunities.

Happiness should give life, not take it.

The Misplaced Priorities of Nigeria’s Academic Coalitions 🎓

Recently, a coalition of academics, students, alumni, and concerned citizens urged the National Universities Commission (NUC) to clamp down on social media comedians who “misuse” the term university.

At face value, the concern appears noble—a defense of academic integrity. Yet it raises a deeper question: where was this same urgency when Nigerian universities themselves were under siege?

When professors openly compromised electoral processes in favor of unqualified politicians, the coalition was silent.

When perpetual ASUU strikes crippled the education system and lecturers’ salaries stagnated for decades, we heard no collective outrage.

When classrooms and laboratories deteriorated into shadows of learning spaces, the coalition did not mobilize.

The real erosion of the university’s dignity has not come from comedians, but from the internal collapse of academic integrity and leadership.

Content creators calling their platforms “universities” may be satirical, but their popularity reflects something deeper: a loss of trust in the traditional academy to embody knowledge, wisdom, and moral courage.

It is worth noting that Nigerian academics did not invent the term university, nor do they hold universal rights to its use. What they do hold, however, is the responsibility to protect the values that give the word its weight.

That protection cannot come from silencing comedians. It can only come from restoring integrity within the academy itself.

If coalitions of academics wish to defend the dignity of the university, they must first reclaim the moral high ground by resisting corruption, demanding reform, and rebuilding scholarship as a beacon of truth.

Let us redirect our energy to systemic reform, not trivial battles. The true task is not to police comedians but to confront the uncomfortable realities weakening our institutions.

Only then will the word university carry the authority it once did.

When factories close and churches take over industrial estates, that is not revival—it is retrogression.

The death of industries is the death of jobs, income, and productivity. And when poverty rises, people naturally run to religion for refuge.

But let’s be clear: poverty-driven religion is not the same as knowing God.

In Nigeria today, religion thrives not because people are more godly, but because the state has failed. God has become, for many, a means to an end—protection, prosperity, health—things the government should provide through functional systems.

This is why Nigeria can have churches on every street and still be drowning in corruption, insecurity, and injustice. Religion without transformation is not revival—it’s business.

And those who profit from this setup have no incentive to see Nigeria fixed.

True revival is not when factories become auditoriums. True revival is when lives are transformed, justice reigns, and productivity thrives.

If Nigeria ever becomes a society where honest work pays and basic needs are met, many so-called “churches” will close, because their growth was never about God—it was about poverty.

The church should complement industry, not replace it. Until then, what we call “revival” may just be poverty in religious clothing.

🚨 On Gehgeh’s “University of Wisdom”🚨

Gehgeh is advising young guys not to spend recklessly on girlfriends. True, he’s not married—so his words don’t apply to husbands. But let’s be clear: his advice is not a verdict.

Social media is full of voices; your duty is to sieve out the good from the bad. Don’t just hear blindly—be wise, vigilant & resourceful. Not every “influencer wisdom” should shape your destiny.

For the first three and a half years of his marriage, his wife single-handedly fed him and even his extended family.

She worked hard as an event planner, handed him her savings, while he stayed at home—able-bodied, unemployed, and offering no explanation.

What was most concerning wasn’t just the situation—it was the pride with which he told it.

True leadership—whether in business, community, or family—comes with responsibility. A man’s role in the home is not to consume without contributing, but to actively carry the weight of provision, care, and protection.

The Bible puts it plainly in 1 Timothy 5:8:

“If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.”

Work is not merely about earning money; it’s about stewardship, service, and honour. Genesis 2:15 shows that from the beginning, man was placed in the garden “to work it and keep it.” That principle has not changed.

If circumstances make earning impossible, responsibility doesn’t disappear—join your spouse’s business, volunteer, build a skill, or find any productive way to contribute.

Sitting idle while your partner carries the load is not leadership—it’s negligence.

To Men: Reject idleness. Lead by example.

To Women: Be vigilant. Partnership is mutual effort, not one-sided sacrifice.

In marriage, as in leadership, the greatest mark of maturity is a willingness to serve, not just be served.

When Men Roar for Men, but Whisper for Christ

The recent statement by the Christ Apostolic Church (C.A.C) responding to Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo’s remarks about Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola has been widely circulated. It was thorough, Scripture-filled, and unwavering in its defense of their founding General Evangelist. Defending truth, correcting falsehood, and setting records straight is commendable.

But here’s the piercing question: Where is this same holy fire when Christ Himself is slandered?

When a preacher boldly claimed that poverty drove Jesus to the Cross — that lack in the life of one of His disciples nailed Him there — where was the C.A.C.? Where was the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN)? Where was the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN)? And you, believer — where were you?

This is the shameful pattern: When our Lord Jesus — the Head of the Church, the Savior of the world, the Name above all names — is mocked, there is silence. No pulpit thunder. No public defense. No righteous outrage. Yet when a revered pastor or founder is criticized, the Church rallies like an army under siege.

Let’s be clear: defending Apostle Babalola’s legacy is not wrong. But defending men more passionately than we defend Christ is a grievous imbalance. Have we, without admitting it, placed our fathers in the faith above the Lord who called them?

Jesus warned: “If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when He comes in His glory” (Luke 9:26). Silence when Christ is insulted, yet loud protest when men are offended, is not loyalty — it is idolatry in disguise.

No General Overseer, no founder, no apostle, no bishop, no prophet — no matter how anointed — will ever share Christ’s throne. They are servants; He is the Master. They are vessels; He is the Source. They are dust; He is the eternal God.

If the Nigerian Church wants to regain moral authority, it must match — or surpass — its zeal for defending men with a blazing zeal for defending Christ. Press statements, pulpit declarations, and public corrections should be just as swift when His holy name is dragged through the mud.

To be silent when Christ is mocked, yet loud when men are attacked, is hypocrisy wrapped in church garments. The Church belongs to Christ, not to any man. He declared: “On this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it” (Matthew 16:18).

Respecting our fathers in the faith is biblical. But exalting them above the Lord of the Church is sin.

May God give today’s Nigerian Church leaders the courage to roar for Christ — louder, quicker, and bolder than they roar for any man.
