Is that all you can say?

Oga will still come to their rescue.....make I no mention name😤

😀
As usual.

The truth never gets out ...


NEVER!!!

Noted.

URGENT WARNING!!!


There's a growing trend of Sorcery practitioners using some scriptures to deceive the people of God. They call Jesus and quote Bible ages to cover their deceit.

BE NOT DECEIVED.

2Tim.3.13 - But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.

Anyone that tells you have to pray with substance from Israel like oil, water, seeds etc, reject them.

They specialise in using different coloured candles and they will tell you to make incisions on your body and on various objects, sleep in particular colored clothes, sprinkle salt around your room, call the names of your enemies at night etc.

They are all liars.


Anyone that tells you to give to caesar what is for caeser as an excuse for you to compromise your faith is not of the Light of God.

God has no business helping people through such things or doing anything in the waterbanks like having you take a bath beside a river or throwing fruits and drinks into the river.

Jesus Christ remains Lord forever and will continue to expose the works of evil.

Eph.5.11 - And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.

Spread the word.

None foolish person will call for total separation.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu the current President of Nigeria is also a well known drug lord. He was a bagman for heroine traffickers in the US back in the early 90s.

Buy why this sudden spike of hard drugs busting in the recent time?
Have people always pushed hard drugs like this all this while without being detected or this recent ones are as a result of what we can't tell?

Sigh….


With number of church and mosque in the country, we keep leading in crime and fraud

I really like it when all are represented [center][/center]. No more trolling!

Get rich or die trying.
E be like say na 50 Cent inspire and motivate them to get rich by all means even if na through drugs trafficking, baby factory, fake products etc.

Tinubu's boys

Could it be grandmaster is giving out clues on sub grandmasters to the NDLEA because the rate of bursting operations is quite astonishing
