It seems like some politicians just can’t help themselves. Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, recently expressed his frustration with those already campaigning for the 2027 presidential election. Honestly, it feels a bit early to be talking about it, doesn’t it? I mean, President Bola Tinubu has only been in office for two years.

Oyintiloye's comments highlight a sense of annoyance with the political landscape, suggesting that it’s becoming nauseating to hear about future elections when the current president is still trying to get things done. It’s hard to disagree. Discussions about the next election can feel like a distraction from the real issues at hand.

We’re just two years into Tinubu’s presidency, and there’s so much still to be addressed. The constant chatter about 2027 is not just premature, but it also diverts attention from the work that needs to be accomplished right now. Politicians should focus on supporting the current administration rather than plotting their next moves. It’s not exactly the most inspiring or engaging topic, and it kind of makes you wonder what they’re thinking.

Life goes on, and it’s hard to muster enthusiasm for election talk when it feels so far off. Maybe it’s time for everyone to just let Tinubu do his job without all the noise about the next election. We have enough to think about without adding a campaign for 2027 to the mix.

In the end, it can be pretty exhausting to keep hearing about future elections when we should be focusing on the present. Sometimes it just feels like we’re stuck in a loop of political chatter that never really goes anywhere.

But why take church to court???? Why? SDA come here quickly...house cleaning....

Afrika needs liberation from religious fanatics who are irrelevant to the issues in the society. The church is not an island working in isolation from society. What affects the country affects the church and as such the church must be an agent of change to repair the social ills. It's very unfortunate to witness the church being part of the problem in the courtrooms. The recent legal development in (Seventh day Adventist Church) in Zimbabwe is a shame as opposition politicians seek to twist the arm of law under the guise of religious freedom.

Politicians are community leaders and when they are invited to the church pulpits they represent the arms of the state and its political identity. By nature opposition politics in Zimbabwe has lost its identity as it feeds on negative energy...rather they be alternative parties which must see the good and encourage the sitting government to deliver on their mandate. We build strong governments when we hold them accountable to their public office as civil servants... The political arm and the religious structure are all servicing the same nation, childish lawsuits charged with religious hypocrisy.

"Mr. Sanyatwe, who briefly spoke from the pulpit after being invited by Mr. Kudakwashe Tagwirei. Advocate Thabani Mpofu, purporting to represent a concerned member of the church, has released a strongly worded letter accusing the church’s leadership of desecration, political co-optation, and gross negligence. However, upon objective scrutiny, these allegations are not only misplaced but appear to be driven by partisan motivations disguised as spiritual concern" (Maverick).

The concerned member has lost touch with reality and his intoxication with "Adventism" and its "purity" neglects the "occupy till I come... He forgets David...a politician... Abraham had a private army.. Daniel a Minister with three brothers.. Hannaniah, Azariah, and Mishael, Ezra, Nehemiah even worked as a cupbearer to the Persian king.

"Select only strong, healthy, and good-looking young men,” he said. “Make sure they are well versed in every branch of learning, are gifted with knowledge and good judgment, and are suited to serve in the royal palace. Train these young men in the language and literature of Babylon."
"5 The king assigned them a daily ration of food and wine from his own kitchens. They were to be trained for three years, and then they would enter the royal service." Daniel 1:4-5

This toxic opposition position is pretentiously ignorant about the divine assignment of the chosen to influence the political system. If the church produces the best Godly people why should they be prohibited from assuming political power? I want you to "be heads and not tails" only those who teach the politics of the tails and what comes out under the tail would consume such content.

Contrary the head has the eyes, the ears, the horns, the mouth of a nation. It is a divine assignment to be of service in the corridors of power. I suggest that opposition parties move away from tail politics to the head politics, to think and speak truth to power.
President ED Mnangagwa has contributed immensely to the SDA in cash and in support. The church enjoys a cordial relationship with government and direct financial/facility donations. The very people claiming "sacred pulpit politics" have seen breaking the holy sabbath for their political meetings and functions.
The Church has channels of communication and no individual member can subvesiviky run an opposition political mobilisation to churches. It is the role of the Union to write to the conference and the conference to the church concerned. Intact the Union should write a letter distancing themselves from this malicious act.
Our very learned Advocate Thabani Mpofu used to go with Nelson to Zunde and church services advertising/campaigning for election, what has changed now? . What was the response from the church. Who wrote letters complaining that the church had been desecrated? .

Can the list of all SDA members who attended the book launch of Sakhala on Sabbath be made available? Why such double standards and two forked tongues claim righteousness while they desecrated the same institution . The real question is "how much of the church is influenced/controlled by opposition parties and how much contribution and control does opposition have in the SDA in Zimbabwe? Personally I think the letter was not fair, and the lawsuit is misplaced zeal and the intentions are that of political ambitions above decorum concerns.
Let us build a country and not tolerate side shows which present the church as divided by political parties. There is more work to do than egos to massage.FoT Maponga Marara Munyuki ChangaMbire Svosve DzimbaBgwe

It is absolutely infuriating to witness the sheer audacity of leaders like Fubara, who stand before their supporters and preach acceptance of a bitter reality while they reconcile with figures like Wike. How can we, as a society, accept such blatant hypocrisy? This isn’t just about two politicians patching things up; this is about the betrayal of the very people who put them in power. The message is clear: personal agendas and political maneuvering take precedence over the needs and desires of the constituents they claim to represent.

Fubara's recent comments, “It is bitter but we must accept the situation and move on with it,” are nothing but a slap in the face to anyone who dares to care about integrity and honesty in politics. How can we move on when the foundations of our leadership are built on shifting sands of compromise and backdoor deals? It’s time for us to stop turning a blind eye to this nonsense! Every time we let statements like these slide, we are endorsing a culture of mediocrity and complacency. We are allowing our leaders to believe that they can say whatever they want, regardless of how absurd it is, and we’ll just nod along like obedient sheep.

Let’s face it: this reconciliation is not about healing; it’s about power. It’s about Fubara ensuring that he keeps his seat warm while Wike, with his infamous reputation for opportunism, remains a looming shadow over the political landscape. Are we really supposed to believe that this partnership will lead to anything good for the citizens? Of course not! It’s a setup for more of the same old corruption and power games that have left us in disarray.

Why are we so quick to accept such a dismal state of affairs? Why do we continue to let these figures dictate our reality? The truth is, we have been conditioned to accept mediocrity as the norm. We have to break this cycle! We cannot allow ourselves to be placated by empty rhetoric and false reconciliations. Fubara and Wike can hold hands all they want, but they are not holding the hands of the people who struggle every day to make ends meet.

We deserve leaders who are willing to fight for our interests, not ones who will reconcile with those who have let us down time and again. It’s time for us to demand better. We should raise our voices and hold these politicians accountable for their actions instead of settling for bitter acceptance. The only way we can move forward is by rejecting this toxic acceptance of betrayal and demanding authenticity and integrity in our leadership.

Let’s be clear: the time for complacency is over. It’s time to stand up for what’s right and to hold these leaders accountable for their actions. We must not let Fubara’s message of acceptance be the defining narrative of our political landscape. We deserve better, and we should fight for it!

President Tinubu has arrived in Saint Lucia for a state visit. Honestly, it feels a bit like just another trip, doesn’t it? The whole idea of state visits seems a bit repetitive at times. He'll probably meet with some officials, exchange pleasantries, and then it’s back to business as usual.

I suppose there are discussions about trade or diplomacy, but really, how thrilling can that be? It’s just more of the same old routine – meetings, handshakes, maybe some photos that will end up on social media. You know the drill. People will comment on how important this visit is, but in reality, it feels like a lot of fuss about not much at all.

The press will cover it extensively, pointing out every little detail, but let’s be honest, we’ll probably forget about it in a week. It’s not like anything groundbreaking is likely to come out of it. Countries have been doing these state visits for ages, and while they can be crucial for politics and relationships, the excitement just isn’t there for most of us.

So, Tinubu is in Saint Lucia, and there will be discussions. Maybe some agreements will be signed, and we’ll hear about them later. But all in all, it’s just another day in the life of a president. After all, how many state visits can one really get worked up about?

As the day unfolds, I’m sure we’ll see updates, but it’s just another chapter in a long book of diplomatic relations. I guess it’s important for the people involved, but for the rest of us? We’ll just scroll past it like we do with so many other news updates.

Evidence Of #Governor Alia's Insensitivity To The Benue People. (image)

If this isn't the height, crest and pinnacle of insensitivity, then, I don't know what it is.
Despite the growing insecurity in the state and recent dastardly attack which led to the massacre of about 200 innocent people of Yawalete, Benue state.
Benue is bleeding, we are mourning our loss. Everyone and every #Nigerian is expected to be in a sober mood in solidarity and sympathy with the families of the slain Benue people, it is no time to appear glamorous. But here is a clueless, heartless, conscienceless, mean, callous and insensitive governor trying to asslick his paymaster, #Tinubu who's set to visit the state on Wednesday.
I actually do not know if the president is coming for celebration, or to Mourn with the #Benue People.


This is saddening. Everything is now about politics.
