Marriage, a Living Thing

Marriage is a seed, so small, so bright,
Planted in hearts, in love’s soft light.
It drinks of trust, it feeds on care,
It breathes forgiveness, pure and rare.

Its roots grow deep through trials faced,
Anchored in patience, mercy, grace.
Its branches stretch to dreams above,
Bearing the fruit of steadfast love.

Neglect it, and its leaves will fade,
Attend with kindness—beauty’s made.
For marriage lives, it grows, it sings,
A sacred bond with living wings.

Nigeria Aims to Host 2030 Commonwealth Games

Nigeria has officially entered the race to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games, with Abuja as the proposed host city. This comes as part of Nigeria’s broader push to position itself as a hub for global sports and tourism.

The announcement puts Abuja in competition with Ahmedabad, India, which has also submitted a strong bid backed by major infrastructure plans and international sporting experience.

If successful, this would mark the first time Nigeria hosts the Commonwealth Games, a milestone in Africa’s sporting history. Officials are pitching Abuja’s modern stadiums, improved transport systems, and planned investments in athlete facilities as key strengths.

The bid aligns with Nigeria’s strategy to:

Boost sports tourism and international visibility.

Create thousands of jobs tied to infrastructure development.

Showcase Nigeria as a safe and growing economic power.

The Commonwealth Games Federation is expected to evaluate both bids over the next year, with a final decision anticipated in late 2026.

Sports analysts say hosting the games could bring billions in revenue and a surge in global recognition, but success will depend on political stability, infrastructure readiness, and security measures.

Study your bible so that false teachers will not receive you....

Some people claimed that the second fire Elijah called (2 Kings 1:9–15), when soldiers sent by King Ahaziah were consumed by fire from heaven, was not from God but from the devil.

Hmmm, interesting assumption.
They reason this way because:

The New Testament (Luke 9:51–56) shows James and John wanting to “call down fire” like Elijah, but Jesus rebuked them, saying He came to save, not destroy.

This makes some conclude Elijah’s act must have been outside God’s will, or even satanic.

Biblical context:
1. 1 Kings 18 (Mount Carmel): Fire confirmed God’s covenant and supremacy. Clearly from God.

2. 2 Kings 1 (Ahaziah’s messengers): Elijah calls down fire on soldiers sent to arrest him. Twice fire consumes 50 men. The third captain humbled himself, and God told Elijah to go with him.

Theological explanation:
Not Satan’s fire: Scripture never attributes it to Satan. The text clearly says “fire came down from heaven” (2 Kings 1:10,12). In the Old Testament, that phrase always points to God’s judgment, not Satan’s work.

Divine Judgment: The king had rejected God and sought Baal-zebub (a Philistine god). The fire was an act of judgment on rebellion against God.

Jesus’ rebuke (Luke 9): When James and John wanted to do the same, Jesus corrected them—not because Elijah’s fire was demonic, but because the mission of Jesus is mercy, not judgment (at least in His first coming). Elijah’s ministry was about judgment and turning hearts; Jesus’ ministry is about grace and salvation.

✅ Answer:
No—the second fire Elijah called was not from the devil. It was an act of divine judgment consistent with God’s dealings in the Old Testament. Jesus later shifted the paradigm, teaching that in Him, God’s people are not called to destroy but to save.

BREAKING: NCAA directs that all phones must now be switched off during take-off and landing — No more airplane mode.

16/08/2025

The Ibom Air passenger incident has raised serious questions regarding compliance with aviation safety rules, human rights, and due process. While the passenger, Ms. Comfort Emmanson, allegedly breached several provisions of the Civil Aviation Regulations and the Criminal Code, the airline and its staff also stand accused of excessive force, humiliation, and violation of constitutional rights. This analysis outlines the applicable provisions of law, the offenses, and the corresponding penalties for both parties.

👩‍✈️ Passenger’s Offenses
1. Refusal to Obey Safety Instructions

Provision: NCAR Part 20.11.2 – passengers must comply with crew instructions for safety.

Offense: Disobeying order to switch off phone before takeoff.

Penalty: Fine up to ₦2,000,000 or 2 years imprisonment, or both.

2. Assault on Crew
Provision: NCAR Part 20.11.3(b); Criminal Code Act, Section 351 – prohibits assault.

Offense: Slapping crew member and tearing off wig.

Penalty: Imprisonment up to 3 years (Criminal Code); and under NCAR, fines up to ₦5,000,000 plus possible ban from flying.

3. Attempted Use of Dangerous Equipment (Fire Extinguisher)

Provision: NCAR Part 20.11.3(c); Criminal Code Act, Section 320 – prohibits threatening violence with a weapon.

Offense: Attempting to use fire extinguisher as a weapon inside the aircraft.

Penalty: Up to 14 years imprisonment (if seen as endangering life) and aviation fines exceeding ₦5,000,000.

4. Obstruction of Security / Resistance

Provision: NCAR Part 20.11.4; Criminal Code Act, Section 98 – prohibits resisting lawful authority.

Offense: Struggling with security personnel after landing.

Penalty: Up to 2 years imprisonment or ₦500,000–₦2,000,000 fine.

🛫 Airline / Staff Offenses
1. Excessive Force & Humiliation

Provision: Constitution Section 34(1)(a) – no person shall be subjected to inhuman or degrading treatment; NCAR 20.13.1 – only “reasonable force” allowed when restraining passengers.

Offense: Public stripping and rough handling beyond necessity.

Penalty: Civil liability – damages (₦5m–₦50m depending on court ruling); NCAA can sanction airline or suspend staff.

2. Denial of Fair Hearing (Lifetime Ban Without Process)

Provision: Constitution Section 36(1) – right to fair hearing; NCAR Part 19.6 – requires fairness in passenger complaints/discipline.

Offense: Imposing and publicizing lifetime ban without giving passenger a chance to defend herself.

Penalty: Court can order ban lifted and award compensation; NCAA may fine airline up to ₦2,000,000.

4. Public Shaming / Privacy Breach

Provision: Constitution Section 34(1)(a) – dignity must be respected; NCAR Part 19.7 – airlines must protect passenger privacy.

Offense: Circulation of humiliating images and videos of the passenger.

Penalty: Civil damages for breach of dignity/privacy; NCAA fines or other sanctions.

Conclusion
The incident reflects dual breaches: the passenger endangered flight safety and violated criminal laws, while the airline overstepped by infringing constitutional rights and consumer protection standards. The penalties under Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations and the Criminal Code show that both parties are liable — the passenger to criminal prosecution and fines, and the airline to civil damages, regulatory fines, and disciplinary action.

This case underscores the need for balance between aviation safety enforcement and respect for human rights, and highlights why the Federal Government and NBA intervened to restore fairness while calling for retraining of airline/security staff.
