THE CHURCH AND THE STAR BOY OF THE MOMENT//PASTOR MANASSEH KINGS ALIAH.

Meet the star boy of the moment.

A young man, gifted, creative, and full of potential. He takes Christian songs and transforms them into amazing beats that inspire, excite, and capture attention. His talent is undeniable.

But here is the question: Where is the Church?

Too often, we watch gifted young people struggle alone. We celebrate them from a distance but fail to support, mentor, encourage, and invest in them. Then, when the world discovers them, sponsors them, and gives them a platform, we begin to complain that they are no longer using their gifts for God.

The truth is simple: every gift must be watered before it can flourish.
Every talent must be nurtured before it can become impactful.

Whoever fertilizes a gift often influences the direction of that gift.
Whoever believes in a young person, supports them, and stands with them in their early days becomes part of their journey.

If the Church embraces this young boy,encourages him, and helps him grow, his gift can become a powerful tool for worship, praise, and kingdom impact.

But if the world is the only one willing to invest in him, should we be surprised when his gift eventually serves the interests of those who supported him?

This is not merely about one young Boy. It is about a generation of gifted youths sitting quietly in our churches, waiting for someone to notice them, believe in them, and give them an opportunity.

The matter is now on the table of the Church.

Will we ignore these gifts until the world discovers them?

Or will we recognize them early, nurture them faithfully, and raise them for the glory of God?

The future of many gifts may depend on our answer.

Plans are underway to resubmit a fresh petition seeking to recall Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, Kogi Central (PDP). Sandra Musa, who spoke on behalf of the petitioners on the TVC breakfast show on Friday, April 4th, 2025, disclosed this.

While appearing on the programme, Sandra insisted there is no going back on the process of recalling Sen. Natasha.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said on 3rd April 2025 that the petition for the recall of the Kogi Central Senatorial District Senator did not meet the requirement of Section 69(a) of the Constitution of Nigeria 1999 (as amended). The Section provides for the removal of a member of a National Assembly.

In rejecting the petition, INEC said it ascertained 208,132 signatures/thumbprints from the petitioners' submission, translating to 43.86% of the registered voters. However, the figure fell short of the constitutional requirement by 29,146 signatories, the statement by INEC indicated.

However, Sandra says "It doesn't mean that the process has been put on a halt, and so we are believing that once we are able to meet up with the level of compliance that they need for it to be adequate, the process will definitely take its course."

Sandra, along with a faction from Kogi Central Senatorial District known as the Concerned Kogi Youth and Women, submitted a petition to INEC on 24 March this year to recall the embattled Senator Natasha.
