Heroes of October 1 – THISDAYLIVE (THISDAY Newspapers)

There are truly many proud touchstones associated with Nigeria's pre-independence politics. It was, after all, an era that saw a Fulani man elected as mayor of ...

It may be 62 years after independence, but the heightened political consciousness felt across the country ahead of next year’s general elections is redolent of that era’s febrile political climate. Forget the elderly sage-like pictures of Azikiwe and fellow nationalists ossified in the public mind, the independence era politicians were young men and women who were just ahead of their time. The altruistic inclination of the independence era politicians is further underlined by Ahmadu Bello’s decision to remain as premier of Northern Region after his party, the Northern People’s Congress, had won majority seats in the parliament in 1959, passing on that right to his trusted acolyte, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa. But only a few today would truly not be tainted by this albatross: why do we rationalize acts of injustice perpetrated by our kinsmen and yet denounce similar actions when we are at the receiving end? Equally significant is the fact that Azikiwe, as premier of the Eastern Region, built the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in 1955, with proceeds from oil palm. So, the “youth” were never deemed too young to run in the pre- and independence era Nigeria. Awolowo’s speech, devoid of the vainglorious waffle typical of latter-day politicians was dignified and straight to the point. He actually won an election, and the fact he did is testament to the cosmopolitan worldview that characterized the country’s politics at the time. Azikiwe was the party’s helmsman during Altine’s electoral triumph and it is instructive he gave his support to a “settler” from Sokoto and not to a fellow easterner. Of course, it wasn’t surprising that the leading political figures of that era became exemplars of courage, and would later, in varying degrees, be memorialized in monuments or other national symbols. It was, after all, an era that saw a Fulani man elected as mayor of Enugu, and when a party led by Dr. With 18 years as the median age in Nigeria, it means that over a third of the country’s estimated 200 hundred million population are persons born after its independence.

OPEN HEAVEN 2 OCTOBER 2022: EXPOSING DEMONIC OPERATIONS; The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that.

Make a decision to be a contributor to the advancement of God’s Kingdom by purchasing a hard copy version of the Open Heavens devotional. I said she should have told us and we would talk to the girls husband to ensure he takes care of her. I responded that the message was not directed to her in particular but to anyone preventing their children from getting married. The devils agent carrying out the attack is usually someone very close to the victim. There is the demonic operation called oppression. Remember that it is the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous that avails much (James 5:16) When we talk about demons operating in human beings they come in various categories. I am believing God that by the end of this series, any operation of the devil in your life would have been destroyed in Jesus name.
