Saturday, April 9th
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.
Monday, April 11th
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 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.

The members made this known through their spokesman, Comrade Olaniyi Ajibosho in a chat with Poverty Line.
‘’The election which brought in the present executive of ASCSN, Federal Oyo state chapter was held at the National Museum, Aleshinloye, Ibadan in 2018 and we voted in the outgoing executive with the hope that the executive will address the several challenges confronting members, but our hopes were dashed.

The Comrade Balogun led executive promised to do a lot, but we later discovered that he is not protecting the interests of members of the association. We thought the executive would be responsive, but this has not been so, rather the images of the association has been battered and shattered and as a result we want to redeem the association’s image. The Labor leaders believe in political patronage rather than protecting the rights of the cheated workers. We know that there is light at the end of the tunnel, we keep hope alive,’’ Comrade Ajibosho stated.

The Essence of Congregational Worship by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke
- By solomon2day
- On 28/02/2022
- In Special Report
An assembly of people is said to be lawful when their activities are productive and it is said to be unlawful, when foul play is suspected form their dynamics.Religious assembly must be strong enough to command what is good and pure, and prohibit what is bad and impure.
This extends to the enforcement of moral discipline, dignity of labor and legitimate earnings as against indolence, waywardness and frivolities as well as corruption.
The failure of any religious system to promote peace and development through moral reformation and good character building will ever endanger the society into a state of insecurity whereby people will shun due process in doing things but uphold illegalities taking the law into their hands to endanger other people’s lives.
The religious system is expected to have role model heads who uphold virtues, rather than the ones that would continue to illegally acquire wealth, taking advantage of the peoples’ weaknesses and vulnerability.
The Holy Bible is a good reference point, John 6 : 26–27, revealed the love of man for materialism rather than truth and God.
In the same manner, the Holy Quran, 7 : 157 admonished that adherents of all religions must seek the kingdom of God first, rather than sheepishly following religious leaders because of their fame and wealth.
The Holy Bible Matthew 11 : 28–30 states, ‘’Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.’’
In the same manner, the Holy Quran promises sincere worshipers of some benefits and admonishes on the need to maintain perfect God/man relation.
The Holy Quran 7 : 157, therefore, summarizes the essence of congregational worship, ‘’Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him — it is those who will be the successful.’’
For our nation to have peace and accelerated development, the religious sector must be worked upon to have productive congregational assembly of just worship with love.

Fear God Only by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke
- By solomon2day
- On 18/01/2022
- In Special Report
The situation of the world growing wild with accompanying moral rots and institutional indiscipline has led the religious sector to be socio-divinely passive.The dying profile of all agents of socialization is, therefore, at the mercy of satanic control.
The big question is, therefore, on who is to activate what ?
This is why the Governments of many nations are usually working to fail, making the environment to be ungovernable and uninhabitable through the pockets of emerging states of insecurity. The simple reason is because of change over of the sacred status of the houses of God into that of profanity making religious leaders to aid and abet iniquities.
The solution, therefore, is for humans to return to God without been fraudulent, using the process of the fear of God.
From the Holy Bible, Luke 12 : 4–7, ‘’have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
The essence of attending the houses of God is to learn correctly About God and the process of worshiping Him. This is to allow adherents to have a direct alignment with their creator to establish permanent God/man relations onto God only , therefor every soul or body must direct his or her thoughts.
Religion, therefore, is a school of faith building on the supremacy of God over all things.
The Holy Quran 16 : 49–53 certifies this assertion.
‘’And to Allah doth prostrate all that is in the heavens and on earth, whether moving creatures or the angels : for none are arrogant before their lord. They all fear their lord, high above them, and they do all that they are commanded. Allah hath said take not for worship two gods : for He is just One God : then fear Me and Me alone. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and on earth And to Him is the religion always(divine construct) : then will ye fear other than Allah ? And ye have no good things but is from Allah : and moreover, when ye are touched by distress onto Him ye cry with groans.’’
The worrisome state of human ingratitude make us become a bundle of contradiction . We profess without walking the talk !
The Holy Quran 16 : 54–55 admonish all humans to make timely adjustment to avoid facing the penalty .
‘’Yet when ye remove the distresses from you behold some of you turn to other gods to join with their lord. To show their ingratitude for the favors we have bestowed on them ! Then enjoy your brief day but soon will ye know your folly.’’
My advice, fear only God the almighty Allah.

Former Corrections Officer Sentenced for Smuggling Drugs
- By solomon2day
- On 18/01/2022
- In News
SAN DIEGO — Anibal Navarro, a former corrections officer at Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility, was sentenced in federal court today to 37 months in prison for smuggling methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana and cell phones into state prison.
Navarro pleaded guilty, admitting that he was part of a network of 12 individuals both inside and outside the prison that smuggled in contraband and illegal narcotics. All the other defendants have pleaded guilty and been sentenced (case number 17cr446-AJB).
One of Navarro’s co-conspirators, prison inmate Martin Gomez, organized and directed the other participants, including Navarro, from his cell in California state prisons in San Diego and Los Angeles. Gomez arranged for individuals outside of prison to smuggle contraband into Donovan prison and deliver drugs and cell phones to various inmates through Navarro. Gomez directed those inmates to receive the contraband and deliver it to still other inmates within the prison.
Gomez approached Navarro while Gomez was an inmate at Donovan, offering him an avenue to make extra money that Gomez knew Navarro needed. Navarro was paid between $1,000 and $2,000 each time he smuggled contraband into the prison. Gomez continued to lead the conspiracy for over two years, even after he was transferred out of Donovan to another prison. Over 500 grams of methamphetamine, heroin, cell phones, and other contraband were smuggled into Donovan through Navarro at Gomez’s direction while he was incarcerated elsewhere.
The smuggled phones were used to coordinate criminal activity both inside and outside Donovan.
“Corrections Officers are charged with the responsibility of keeping the public, inmates, and other prison staff safe,” said U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman. “Former Officer Navarro personally profited from creating a dangerous environment in the prison by smuggling in extremely harmful and addictive narcotics. Additionally, cell phones inside a prison allow inmates to coordinate other illegal acts, like smuggling drugs, fraud, and even violence. Today’s sentence demonstrates that the significant consequences far outweigh any financial gain for those who abuse their positions of trust.” Grossman thanked the prosecution team, the FBI, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s Office of Internal Affairs, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation’s Investigative Service Unit and the United States Postal Service — Inspector Service, for their excellent work on this case.
“Anibal Navarro abused his position and betrayed his oath as a Corrections Officer to further a conspiracy which included smuggling dangerous drugs and cell phones into our state prison system, allowing inmates to continue their criminal enterprise even while incarcerated,” said FBI Special Agent in Charge Suzanne Turner. “Today’s sentence hopefully sends a message to any government employee considering using their position of authority to further their own interests and enrich themselves — the FBI will continue to work diligently to root out public corruption at all levels.”
DEFENDANT Case №16cr1664
Anibal Navarro Age 43 Chula Vista, California
SUMMARY OF CHARGES
Conspiracy to Distribute Illegal Narcotics — Title 21, U.S.C., Sections 841(a) and 846;

The Right to Freedom of Thought Conscience and Religion by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke
- By solomon2day
- On 06/01/2022
- In Special Report
Thought is a process of the dynamics of the mind, in establishing ideas or opinions through the thinking flame that in most cases result in actions.
It could be regarded as cognitive processes energizing sensory stimulation and it can happen independently to every individual, in the areas of judgment, deliberation, reasoning, concept dynamics, and problem-solving.
When the result is positive, it favors social and interpersonal relationships.
And when it is negative it may hurt the feelings of others or damage to a destructive level. This is why it becomes an issue of the right to freedom.Read-Legalizing Crime and Criminality
Generally, therefore, our educational orientation must be directed towards a positive mindset for a right to freedom of thought to be beneficial to all.
In the same manner, every individual ought to be entitled to the freedom of conscience.
In religious parlance, we believe that the almighty God dominates to correct the system of man preventing or minimizing wrongdoings and maximizing the moral sense of right.
It becomes an issue before God and man when one becomes an adolescent starting from the age of puberty. This is a period when one is accountable for any of his deeds.-Landlords and Tenants Associations, Crime and Criminality
Conscience is very important to every human and society as a whole. Any individual with the right conscience will never indulge in dastardly acts, hence the right of every individual to the free to conscience must be worked on through the correct educational programs. The right to the freedom of religion is equally very important if we are able to view religion from the perspective of the socio-spiritual inspirational school, where faith in a particular belief is considered to be built on the rock of a positive mindset of self-relevance, confidence, self-esteem and a positive mental attitude. This will make an individual be permanently aligned with his creator.-Law Enforcement: The Reactionary Approach
Religion emphasizes the necessity for society to build values such as love, respect, harmony, and empathy.
The right to freedom of religion, therefore, becomes an issue, where it could not be effectively regulated and controlled into the right and beneficial practices.
There is, therefore, the dire need to challenge religious leaders to role model the right practices of religion to enjoy the cover of protection under the fundamental human rights charter.
Generally, therefore, every individual ought to be entitled to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, provided all-controlling leaders are able to role model the virtues of life.Read-Government Workers-A Subject of Debate

Adultery Ruins Avoid it by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke
- By solomon2day
- On 27/12/2021
- In Special Report
To appreciate the difference between animal and man, the area of mating is pointer.Take note that adultery may bring shame and betrayal of trust as well as risking the consequence of divine sanctions and decay.
The Holy Quran and the Holy Bible are unanimous on this.
The Holy Quran 17 : 32 refers, ‘’ Never come nigh to adultery : For it is an indecent deed and an evil way.’’
The Holy Bible Matthew 5 : 27–28 equally emphasizes on sexual sins.
‘’You have heard that it was said don’t do the sin of adultery. But I tell you that, if a person looks at a woman and wants to sin sexually with her, then that person has already done that sin with the woman in his mind.’’
The wisdom of avoiding adultery is captured in the Holy Bible Proverbs 5 : 3–14, ‘’For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
4 But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twoedged sword.
5 Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
6 Lest thou shouldest ponder the path of life, her ways are moveable, that thou canst not know them.
7 Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
8 Remove thy way far from her, and come not nigh the door of her house:
9 Lest thou give thine honour unto others, and thy years unto the cruel:
10 Lest strangers be filled with thy wealth; and thy labours be in the house of a stranger;
11 And thou mourn at the last, when thy flesh and thy body are consumed,
12 And say, How have I hated instruction, and my heart despised reproof;
13 And have not obeyed the voice of my teachers, nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!
14 I was almost in all evil in the midst of the congregation and assembly.’’
The Holy Quran, therefore warns that we should avoid adultery with a case study of the penalty of flogging as a preventive measure from plunging oneself into the wrath of God; if and only if one wants to remain a believer.
The Holy Quran 24 : 2 refers, ‘’ The woman and the man guilty of fornication,-flog each of them with a hundred stripes : let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah; if ye believe in Allah in the Last Day : And let a party of the believers witness their punishment.’’
Since the punishment for adultery and fornication is socaiily lower than the spiritual consequence and that in any of the ways, adultery can create bad blood, big fight and poisonous feud.
The believers must make it mandatory for themselves to keep chastity against all odds and avoid keeping of bad company not to become victims of people’s snares to slander their names.
The Holy Quran 24 : 23 warns all of us. ‘’ Those who slander chaste, indiscreet and believing women are cursed this life and in the Hereafter : For them is a grievous chastisement.’’
Adultery can ruin avoid it, therefore, and role model exemplary lifestyles as we step into the new year.

Fair hearing could be described as the process that ensures that the trial of an individual conforms to the fundamental concept of justice and equality.The right to fair hearing, therefore, requires that an individual ought not to be penalized by decisions affecting their rights or legitimate expectations, unless they have been given prior notice of the case.
Secondly, a fair opportunity to respond must equally be given and thirdly, the opportunity to present their own case.
Respect for the following four essentials are therefore crucial :
Adequate notice should be served to the accused.
2. The accused must be duly informed about the evidence against him, her or them.
3. The accused must be given the opportunity to present his, her or their cases as well as the relevant evidences.
4. The accused must be given the opportunity to contest adverse evidences.
It must be noted that presumptions, assumptions or insinuations are clogs in the wheel of an enabling environment for fair hearing. Therefore, the sine qua non or essential conditions for fair hearing must be created.
The right to know the facts of the suit or case must be precondition for the commencement of any hearing.
The right to fair hearing must be seen to have been achieved, not to give room to coercion or other process that negates the provisions of fair hearing.
In addition, the right to fair hearing/public hearing before a competent, independent and impartial court or tribunal established by law must be guaranteed.
The presumption of innocence without molestation without molestation must be guaranteed.
The right to fair hearing is an essential ingredient of democracy and it ensures that the people’s interests are well taken care of when it comes to civil rights and obligations including any question or determination of by or against any government or authority, whereby a person shall be entitled to fair hearing within a reasonable time by a court or other tribunal established by law.

Avoid Falsehood in Transactions by Prof. Sabitu Olagoke

Wise people believe that life is ephemeral and that social desires may become a tantalizing mirage if we live by falsehood to acquire wealth.The Holy Bible admonishes us that we must not claim knowledge where ignorance prevails. For us to be able to know our limits, therefore, there is a need to seek for knowledge and clarification.
Proverbs 30 : 4 submits that, “Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou canst tell?”
The Holy Quran, therefore, warned us that education and wisdom demand that we must not claim to know where knowledge is absent.
The Holy Quran 6 : 93 emphasizes the consequence as been grievous.
‘’Who can be more wicked than one who invented a lie against Allah, or saith, I have received inspiration when he hath received none or again who saith, I can reveal the like of what Allah hath revealed ? If thou couldst but see how the wicked do fair in the agonies of death!-The angels stretch forth their hands saying yield up your souls : This day shall ye reward,-chastisement of disgrace for that ye used to tell lies against Allah and scornfully to reject of His signs !''
Proverbs 30 : 5–6 further warns us to be vanguards of truth always, ‘’Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
6Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.’’
In the same way the Holy Quran 2 : 42 admonishes with emphasis, ‘’And cover truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth when ye know what it is ?’’
What makes people tell lies most often is the affinity for materialism, most especially when due process is abridged for the sake of having undue maximum gains in business or material transaction.
Proverbs 30 : 7–9 clarifies issues on this, ‘’Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
Why do wed neglect God and His charges to direct our affairs not to head for the precipice of life.
The Holy Quran 13 : 26 refers, ‘’Allah doth enlartge, or grant by strict measure the sustenance which He giveth to whom He so pleaseth. The worldy rejoice in the life of this world : but the life of this world is of little comfort compared to the hereafter.’’
To be an exemplar, all must endeavor to be vanguards of truth in all forms of transactions.

Viable condition is necessary for successful restoration and preservation of cultural heritage on core values of integrity would have to depend solely on the understanding and practice of exemplary lifestyles based on values of integrity, otherwise, the system may suffer from unwarranted happenings.
The viable condition of scripture compliance is sacrosanct, the right practice of every religion for ease of adapting and adopting the dictates of God to put up pious and exemplary lifestyles.
A critical study of democracy to energize civil rule rests on the viable condition of justice, deterrence, and equity concept application to avoid the challenges of marginalization and agitations by the people over perceived injustice towards them.
Where such viable conditions are absent there would be system disequilibrium through the heating up of the polity. A further study on the triangle of sustainable development x-rays environment, economy, and the people or society to thrive harmoniously.
The economy and other aspects of society must be viable to ensure streamlined development.
Several nations depend on investments from local and international sources, but no investor will ever come to a conflict-ridden environment to invest. An environment characterized by insurgency,
natural disasters, violent crimes, dictatorship, and the infringement of the fundamental human rights of the people would never be investment-friendly.
In the final analysis, the viable condition is an index measure of capability where system functionality leads to the development that is sustainable without recourse to parasitic means.Also read-Legalizing Crime and Criminality
