An Israeli airstrike targeted Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, on Sunday, resulting in five casualties, including a senior Hamas figure, according to Palestinian health authorities and Hamas representatives. Targeted Strike on Hospital’s Surgery Department The Gaza Health Ministry reported that the attack struck the surgery department of Nasser Hospital. The Israeli military, in response, stated that the operation was based on extensive intelligence and involved precision-guided munitions to minimize collateral damage. Senior Hamas Official Among the Dead Hamas confirmed that Ismail Barhoum, a member of its political office, was among those killed in the strike. While Israel’s Defense Minister, Israel Katz, confirmed that Barhoum was the intended target, the Israeli military referred to him only as a “key terrorist in Hamas.” Escalation in the Conflict Following a period of relative calm in the ongoing war, violence has escalated again. Israeli forces launched a renewed air and ground campaign against Hamas on Tuesday, effectively nullifying a previous ceasefire. As a result, many residents in Gaza are once again fleeing for safety.

Rivers State Faces Another Blast Amid Ongoing State of Emergency Rivers State has witnessed yet another explosion, this time at the Soku oil facility in Akuku-Toru Local Government Area. This incident, reported on Sunday, March 24, 2025, marks the third attack on vital infrastructure in the state, just days after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu declared a state of emergency in the region. The Soku facility, operated by Nigeria Liquefied and Natural Gas Limited (NLNG), became the latest target in what appears to be a series of disruptions affecting critical oil and gas assets in Rivers State. Authorities and Stakeholders React Despite the widespread reports, official confirmation remains scarce. The spokesperson for NLNG, Andy Odeh, had yet to respond to inquiries as of the time of reporting. Meanwhile, SP Grace Iringe-Koko, spokesperson for the Rivers State Police Command, stated that the force had not yet received an official report regarding the explosion. However, the Youths and Environmental Advocacy Centre (YEAC-Nigeria) confirmed the incident, stating that a massive explosion and fireballs were observed from the affected area. According to the group, the fire was still burning as of Sunday, and videos captured by local youth volunteers verified the ongoing blaze. Soku Kingdom Denies Explosion, Labels It a Fire Outbreak In contrast to these claims, the Soku Kingdom leadership has dismissed reports of an explosion, insisting that the event was a fire outbreak rather than a detonation. According to Witness Alasia, General Secretary of Soku Kingdom, the incident occurred along the Soku-Abua-Rumuji right of way, but the Soku Gas Plant remains unaffected. “On behalf of the leadership of the Soku Kingdom, I debunk the misinformation circulating on social media. There was no explosion at the Soku Gas Plant,” Alasia stated.“It is disheartening to see misleading and unverified reports being spread. The Soku community and its satellite areas remain calm and safe.” A Series of Explosions in Rivers State This latest explosion comes just days after a blast at the Trans Niger Pipeline, affecting the Bodo, Gokana, and Omwawriwa communities in the Ogba-Egbema-Ndoni Local Government Area. Similarly, on March 19, 2025, a fire broke out at the Port Harcourt refinery, further raising concerns over the safety of key energy infrastructure in the region. Political Tensions and Emergency Measures These incidents unfold amid the state of emergency declared by President Tinubu on March 18, 2025, which led to the suspension of elected authorities in Rivers State. On Thursday, March 21, 2025, the National Assembly approved the emergency declaration, solidifying the federal government’s control over the state’s administration. Following the approval, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (retd.) assumed office as the sole administrator of Rivers State, replacing the democratically elected leadership. What Lies Ahead? As authorities continue to assess the situation, questions remain regarding the root causes of these recurring explosions and the overall security of oil and gas infrastructure in Nigeria’s Niger Delta region.

Trump Condemns His ‘Distorted’ Portrait in Colorado’s Capitol, Calls Out Governor Polis Former U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed outrage over his official portrait displayed in Colorado’s Capitol, claiming it was intentionally distorted. Taking to Truth Social on Sunday, Trump criticized Colorado Governor Jared Polis, urging him to remove the artwork. He described the painting as exaggeratedly unflattering compared to portraits of other presidents. “Nobody likes a bad picture or painting of themselves, but the one in Colorado, in the State Capitol, put up by the Governor, along with all other Presidents, was purposefully distorted to a level that even I, perhaps, have never seen before,” Trump stated. He further criticized the artist, pointing out that the same person had painted former President Barack Obama, but the quality of his own portrait was vastly different. “The artist also did President Obama, and he looks wonderful, but the one on me is truly the worst. She must have lost her talent as she got older,” Trump added. The Colorado Republican Party had previously approved the portrait, which was unveiled in August 2019 during an event hosted by Colorado Senate Republicans. The artist, Sarah A., was responsible for painting the portraits of several former U.S. presidents. Political Reactions and Public Debate Trump’s criticism has sparked discussions among political analysts and supporters. While some conservatives agree with Trump’s claims of bias, others argue that artistic interpretation is subjective. Governor Polis has not officially responded to Trump’s remarks. However, political observers note that such disputes over presidential portraits are rare in the U.S. Capitol buildings. External Insight on Presidential Portraits According to the National Portrait Gallery (source), presidential portraits are often a reflection of artistic style and public perception rather than political bias. Conclusion The controversy surrounding Trump’s portrait in Colorado’s Capitol highlights ongoing political tensions. Whether the painting will be replaced or remain as it is remains to be seen.

How Cities Are Turning Roundabouts into Green Goldmines Have you ever sat at a traffic circle and wondered, “Why is this space just grass and flowers?” Imagine if, instead, it was filled with fresh basil, juicy tomatoes, or crisp lettuce. That’s exactly what some cities are doing—turning underused traffic islands into thriving mini-farms. The Green Revolution in the Middle of the Road Urban areas are running out of space for community gardens, but there’s an overlooked solution: traffic circles and medians. With a bit of planning, these road islands can transform into productive food sources, offering fresh produce to local residents, reducing urban heat, and even improving air quality. A case study that stands out is the city of Andernach, Germany, known for its “edible city” project. The local government converted public spaces—including roundabouts—into lush vegetable gardens. Locals can harvest what they need, and the initiative has inspired similar projects worldwide. Why Traffic Circle Gardens Make Sense What Can Grow in a Traffic Circle Garden? Not every crop works in a roundabout, but plenty do. The best options include: Challenges and How Cities Overcome Them Of course, it’s not as simple as tossing seeds into a roundabout. There are some hurdles: Cities Leading the Charge 1. Andernach, Germany 2. Seattle, USA 3. Bristol, UK 4. São Paulo, Brazil How to Start a Traffic Circle Garden in Your City The Future of Urban Farming? It’s in the Roundabouts Traffic circle gardens aren’t just about food—they represent a shift in how we use public space. Instead of sterile, ornamental landscapes, cities can create pockets of sustainability that feed people, clean the air, and beautify urban life.

Urban waste doesn’t have to be a problem—it can be a solution. Instead of letting food scraps, coffee grounds, and shredded paper clog up landfills, why not turn them into nutrient-rich compost? Waste-powered gardening is the key to growing healthier plants while reducing environmental impact. Why Composting Matters According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), food scraps and yard waste make up more than 30% of what we throw away—all of which could be composted instead. Composting enriches soil, retains moisture, reduces plant diseases, and eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers. Benefits of Waste-Powered Gardening ✔ Reduces landfill waste – Less trash means a cleaner environment.✔ Enriches soil – Compost improves soil texture, aeration, and nutrient content.✔ Saves money – No need for expensive store-bought fertilizers.✔ Cuts methane emissions – Organic waste in landfills generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas.✔ Boosts plant health – Compost provides essential nutrients for plants to thrive. What Urban Waste Can You Compost? Many household waste items can be repurposed into garden gold. Here’s a quick breakdown: Green Waste (Rich in Nitrogen) Brown Waste (Rich in Carbon) Avoid: Meat, dairy, oils, and pet waste—these attract pests and take longer to decompose. How to Turn Trash into Treasure: Composting Methods There are different ways to compost urban waste, depending on your space and lifestyle. 1. Traditional Composting (Best for Backyards) Create a compost pile or use a bin to decompose organic matter. Layer green and brown waste, keep the pile moist, and turn it every few weeks to aerate. Expect rich compost in about 2-3 months. 2. Bokashi Composting (Great for Small Spaces) A Japanese method using beneficial microbes to ferment food waste. Simply layer scraps with bokashi bran in an airtight bucket. After two weeks, bury the pre-compost in soil to complete decomposition. 3. Vermicomposting (Perfect for Apartments) Worms (like red wigglers) break down organic matter into nutrient-rich worm castings. Keep a worm bin under your sink or in a shaded spot—just feed them food scraps, and they do the rest! Pro Composting Tips How Long Until You Get Usable Compost? Where to Use Your Compost Final Thoughts By converting urban waste into nutrient-rich soil, you’re not just gardening—you’re reducing waste, lowering your carbon footprint, and improving soil health. Start composting today and watch your garden flourish! For more composting techniques, check out the EPA’s guide to composting.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned (1 Corinthians 2:14). Our opening scripture talks about the natural man. Who is the natural man? The natural man is the ordinary, everyday person who has never been born again. He may have grown up in a good neighbourhood and lived a decent life, but he remains disconnected from the life of God. The natural man has never been awakened to the Fatherhood of God. Ephesians 4:18 says, “Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart.” The natural man is someone whose only experience is his natural birth and who has grown up purely natural. As the Bible says, “…the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14). It brings to mind an incident from years ago involving the former Vice Chancellor of a certain University who suddenly collapsed at the airport, and, as it happened, the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa was nearby. According to newspaper reports the next day, they described that “audible sounds” from the Archbishop revived the Vice Chancellor. The press didn’t understand what had happened, so they called it “audible sounds.” What actually happened was that Archbishop Idahosa spoke in tongues loudly. The journalists, being unfamiliar with the spiritual context, could only describe it as “audible sounds.” But the man of God knew exactly what to do at that critical moment. He released what the natural man couldn’t understand and the hitherto incapacitated Vice Chancellor was revived! The things of God require spiritual discernment, but the natural man cannot discern them. They seem absurd or meaningless to him, being disconnected from the realities of God and the life of the Spirit. It’s the reason we keep preaching the Gospel. God wants all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:4). So, we must help them know the Lord. It doesn’t matter that the man or woman is an erudite professor, a great scientist, a skilled orator, a seasoned politician, or a medical doctor; as long as they’re not born again, they’re living the natural human life. And Jesus said, “…Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). So help those around you, who have never been born again, to know the Lord and bring them into salvation. Hallelujah PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for the blessing of the New Birth that makes me a spiritual man. I walk in the light of your Word and live by the discernment of the Spirit. My heart receives and understands the deep things of God, and my life is a demonstration of your wisdom and glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY|| John 3:3-8Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. || || Ephesians 2:12-13That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. || || 1 Corinthians 1:21For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. || || John 17:3And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. || READ ALSO: DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: I am abundantly supplied, I have all that I require for life and godliness.

The Sudanese military has made significant advances in central Khartoum, reclaiming several strategic buildings from paramilitary forces. This follows a recent declaration by army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who vowed to liberate the capital completely after successfully regaining control of the presidential palace. Sudan Military Reclaims Central Khartoum Landmarks According to military spokesperson Nabil Abdallah, the army continues to push back against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in the city center. Among the recovered sites are the Central Bank, the state intelligence headquarters, and the Sudan National Museum. These developments mark a turning point in the ongoing power struggle between the Sudanese Armed Forces and RSF. Despite these military gains, Sudan remains deeply divided. The army holds the eastern and northern regions, while RSF maintains control over much of western Darfur and parts of the southern territory. Ongoing Clashes in Sudan’s Capital Reports indicate that national institutions in central Khartoum were looted by paramilitaries in the early weeks of the conflict, which erupted in April 2023. The RSF still occupies parts of Khartoum’s heavily damaged airport, a key battleground in the near two-year-long war. On Friday, army forces and allied groups successfully recaptured the presidential palace from RSF fighters. However, the paramilitary group retaliated with a drone strike, resulting in the deaths of three Sudanese TV journalists and several military personnel. The army revealed that the RSF had used the palace as a base to house elite fighters and stockpile ammunition. Sudan Conflict Intensifies Despite Army Gains While the army’s advances could strengthen its hold on Khartoum, experts suggest that the conflict is far from over. With recent progress, military forces have taken control of the southern banks of the Blue Nile, which separates the capital from Khartoum North. Additionally, they have secured the critical route connecting central Khartoum to its twin city, Omdurman, via the White Nile. Since the outbreak of hostilities in April 2023, Sudan has witnessed a violent power struggle between army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy, Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, leader of the RSF. As battles continue, humanitarian concerns remain high, with thousands displaced due to ongoing clashes.

White House envoy Steve Witkoff has spoken highly of Russian President Vladimir Putin, describing him as a trustworthy leader. Witkoff revealed that Putin assured him he had prayed for former U.S. President Donald Trump following the assassination attempt on Trump during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July 2024. High-Level Discussions Between Witkoff and Putin During an extended meeting in Moscow last week, Witkoff engaged in discussions with Putin, focusing on potential resolutions to end Russia’s ongoing war with Ukraine. The U.S. envoy characterized the conversations as productive and solution-driven, aiming to establish a diplomatic pathway toward peace. Witkoff emphasized his positive perception of the Russian leader, stating, “I liked him. I thought he was straightforward with me. I don’t see Putin as a bad guy. The war is a complex situation with multiple factors leading up to it.” Putin’s Reaction to Trump’s Assassination Attempt A personal highlight of their discussion was Putin’s reflection on Trump’s near-fatal attack. According to Witkoff, Putin expressed genuine concern and prayers for his former American counterpart, underlining the deep geopolitical implications of such events. Washington’s Changing Approach to Moscow Witkoff’s remarks signify a shift in U.S.-Russia relations under Trump’s second term, marking a potential departure from previous adversarial rhetoric toward a more diplomatic engagement. His praise of Putin contrasts with Washington’s long-standing view of the Russian leader as an autocratic opponent. Zelenskyy’s Dilemma and the Need for Diplomacy Witkoff also commented on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s precarious position, suggesting that now is the right time to negotiate peace with Moscow. “Zelenskyy is in an extremely tough situation. He is dealing with a nuclear power and must realize that prolonged resistance will only lead to further struggles. Now is the best time for him to secure a deal,” Witkoff advised. Conclusion The latest discussions between the U.S. envoy and Putin highlight shifting dynamics in international diplomacy. With the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, the role of global leaders in fostering peace remains crucial.

Israeli Military Response The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reported carrying out multiple airstrikes on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon in response to the alleged cross-border rocket attack. “Earlier today, the IDF targeted numerous Hezbollah rocket launch sites and a command center used by Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon,” the military stated. Israel maintains that its actions were necessary to counter the threats emanating from Hezbollah’s operations in Lebanon. For more in-depth coverage of the Israel-Lebanon conflict, visit BBC News.
