''It is a big surprise that despite the daily kidnappings, killings, ritual killings, and violent crimes, the focus of presidential aspirants, State Governors, and lawmakers revolves around their selfish desires and aspirations for election for various positions and second term tickets. If only they love and care for Nigerians, they should be agitating for an end to the kidnappings, killings, ritual killings, and other violent crimes.''

''It is sad, they have done nothing to stop all these. Nothing!
 92 Nigerians were killed recently in Plateau state and over a hundred others were kidnapped in the train attack in Kaduna. What have they done about these happenings? Nothing! Yet they are aspiring to occupy public offices.  Considering the unending insecurity across the country, will elections hold in 2023? Nobody knows,'' Comrade  Emelieze stated.

Fear God
Be reminded that procrastination is the thief of time not to lose the focus of accepting  God wholesomely.
The essence of the Ramadan fast is to inject into every adherent the culture of the fear of God.
To be well equipped in becoming wholesome, spiritually, and socially in line with the goal of the Ramadan fast as entrenched in the Holy Quran 2: 183, '' O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you that ye may learn correctly the concept of the fear of God as  a way of life.'' Ramadan Kareem.

Be Cultured into Good Adherents of Islam
In line with the Boys' Scouts motto, Ramadan the great, the teacher, admonishes us to be prepared always to be a survivor of any emerging situation. How far then, are we prepared in character adjustment with respect to body preservation from sins and crimes and soul purification from devilish thought processes.
A stitch in time saves nine. Decide today to be a good Muslim for tomorrow may be late. Ramadan Kareem.

Live a Pious Life
Do you realize what it takes to be in a good state of piety?
The Almighty Allah has commanded the angels to continually assess us on character adjustment based on the 10 nutrients of the spiritual diet upon which we can attain the comfort of life without hitch and the bliss of heaven, Janat or paradise as entrenched in the Holy Quran 2: 201-203, take time out to study these verses. Ramadan Kareem.

Tuesday, April 12th
Self Assessment Need
It is imperative that we routinely assess ourselves for character adjustment.
The Holy Quran 33: 35 for Muslim men and women: '' total submission to the will of God. 2) Level of belief in the almighty Allah must manifest in the way we live our life. 3) Our level of devotion. 4) The factor of being a vanguard of the truth.
5) Our state of patience must regulate our pursuit of social desire without satanic interference.
6) Our consistency in serving God and humanity.
7) Our culture of humility will grow and develop in status.
8) Our level of care for others through charity.
9) Our sacrifice of pleasure for others to live.
10) Our quality of fidelity for a chaste life.
11) Our acceptance of the concept of puritanism is supplicating God for our social and spiritual desires. How far have we fared? Stop deceiving yourself, make amends. Ramadan Kareem.

 Wednesday, April 13th
Qualification Factor
How qualified are you to observe the Ramadan fast, since it is meant for those with absolute belief in God and His injunctions?
Be reminded, walk the talk for His admonition to become a matter of reality among mankind with the necessary impact that can be felt.
Assess yourself against the backdrop of the Holy Quran 22: 35.
Ramadan fast shall therefore be accepted by God on the basis of the following conditions. '' To those whose hearts when Allah is mentioned are filled with fear, who show patience and perseverance over their afflictions, keep up regular prayers and spend in charity out of what We have bestowed upon them.''
Let us strive to meet up with the conditions to be able to succeed, despite all odds through divine intervention. Ramadan Kareem.

The recent Kaduna train attack and other violent crimes in different parts of Nigeria which have resulted in the loss of thousands of innocent lives have confirmed that the Government at all levels no longer values human life.
This assertion was made by an ex-Officio of the Oyo state council of the Trade Union Congress(TUC), who is also a former chairman of the union in the state, Comrade Andrew Emelieze.

''Thousand of human lives have been lost to terrorist attacks, ritual killings, armed robberies, and other violent crimes in various parts of Nigeria. The most recent is the Kaduna train attack. It has been sorrows, tears, and blood all the way. Human lives no longer matter to those in government at all levels. They are all evil and diabolic. They feast on human blood. The killings are the design of those in power. May God protects us all,'' Comrade Emelieze prayed.

‘’The fuel scarcity is an helpless situation that is regrettable and equally unpalatable. However, what is more painful is that Nigerians have responded to the lingering fuel scarcity poorly and this is very discouraging. Why, because most Nigerians are not different from those misleading this country, as a matter of fact the impoverished citizens are even worse than the oppressors of the land and that is why rather than question the worrisome situation, Nigerians have been busy looking for means to cushion the hardships resulting from the fuel scarcity. This hypocrisy has cost us development,’’ Comrade Emelieze lamented.
