Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious (1 Peter 2:2-3). When you lead people to Christ to receive salvation, at that moment, they’re still spiritual babies that must begin to learn the Word of God. The Word of God is the food for the human spirit; it’s the only material that guarantees spiritual growth. Therefore, new converts must be taught the Word and given the opportunity to learn the Word of God. This is where going to church plays a key role. When you win souls, immediately introduce them to the local church where they can participate in the things of God and be trained and well-nurtured spiritually. When you fail to bring them into the church, you’re like a woman who gives birth to a baby, leaves the baby at the hospital’s maternity ward and goes home. That’s absurd. It’s important to take those you’ve led to Christ to your church. Don’t tell them to go to any nice church. That’s like having a child and saying, “This child can go to any mother.” Instead, guide them to the church where you are. If the person believed your message about Jesus, they ought to know you came from somewhere. When you bring them to your church, you can guarantee their spiritual growth because you know what they’re going to hear. Connect them with someone from your church—a leader or even the pastor. Let them know you’re excited about their salvation and that others will be excited about it too. Make your evangelism complete. Help them see that their growth in Christ is a priority and that the church is the best environment for them to flourish spiritually. If you’re not yet the member of a local church, or seeking one, you could begin by contacting the person or church who gave you this book, or log on to www.christembassy.org for more information. PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the privilege of leading others to Christ and guiding them in their journey of faith. I carry out evangelism with wisdom and love, ensuring those I lead to Christ are nurtured and established in the truth. Thank you for the church as a place of growth, fellowship and training in righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

Former Real Madrid and Liverpool striker Michael Owen has identified just two clubs he believes will vie for the Premier League title in the upcoming season: Liverpool and Arsenal. Liverpool, under the guidance of manager Arne Slot, secured the league title last month, marking a remarkable debut season for Slot at Anfield. However, their dominance was challenged recently when they suffered a 3-1 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Goals from Enzo Fernandez, Cole Palmer, and an own goal by Jarell Quansah sealed the victory for the Blues. Speaking after the match, Owen expressed skepticism about Manchester City’s prospects, citing concerns over squad depth. He remarked, “You can look at an extreme like Pep Guardiola this season and say, ‘that’s why you should have more players’, but he has had thin squads all his life. That bit him this season.” Owen emphasized the importance of squad balance, highlighting Liverpool’s current setup as exemplary. He stated, “It’s a careful balance, and Liverpool have got it spot on at the moment.” Looking ahead, Owen is confident in Liverpool’s continued success, asserting, “I can’t see anybody beating Liverpool next year. Man City are miles off it. Arsenal are possibly the only challengers for me.” BUY ANYTHING ON KONG BUY NOW Follow the LMSINT MEDIA channel on WhatsApp: Join Our WhatsApp Group Hear: Chat on WhatsApp Join our Telegram Channel

Former Manchester United icon Gary Neville has expressed confidence in Arsenal’s ability to overturn their first-leg defeat against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the upcoming UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg. The Premier League side will travel to Paris for the decisive clash scheduled for Wednesday, aiming to overcome a 1-0 loss suffered at the Emirates Stadium in London during the first leg of the tie. Despite PSG securing a narrow win, Neville remains optimistic about Mikel Arteta’s team and their potential to triumph on the road. According to the Sky Sports pundit, PSG tends to falter under pressure in high-stakes matches at home. “I truly believe Arsenal are capable of pulling it off. They can go to Paris and get the result they need,” Neville said on his Sky Sports podcast. The ex-defender, recounting a personal visit to the Parc des Princes alongside David Beckham during a Real Madrid match, noted how the French champions exhibited signs of anxiety. “There’s immense pressure on PSG to finally lift the Champions League trophy. The first 20 minutes will be intense and aggressive. If they manage to score early, the tension will remain high,” Neville added. He emphasized that the upcoming encounter could mark a pivotal moment for Arsenal’s players. “This is a defining match for Arsenal, both for the season and possibly for the careers of several players. Overcoming PSG and booking a spot in the Champions League final would be a monumental achievement,” Neville concluded.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot has openly admitted his surprise that Chelsea did not emerge as one of the key challengers for the Premier League title this season. Slot made this statement during a post-match interview following Liverpool’s 3-1 defeat to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Despite the loss, Liverpool maintains a commanding 19-point lead over Chelsea, who are currently placed 5th on the EPL table. Throughout the 2024–25 Premier League season, the Reds have outpaced their domestic competitors, ultimately securing a record-equalling 20th English league title. By the time they confirmed their championship, Liverpool had suffered just two losses, accumulating an impressive 82 points from 35 games. When asked if he sees Chelsea as potential title contenders next season, Slot responded: “I actually thought they would be a major threat this season.They were better than us at Anfield and felt very close to our level. That’s why I’m truly surprised we now lead them by 18 points. I didn’t sense that kind of gap during our encounter.” Slot continued by emphasizing the quality within Chelsea’s squad and how Liverpool’s performance stands out in light of that: “This really highlights how well our players have performed.If we’re able to go 18 points clear of a side filled with top-tier talent like Chelsea, then that’s a huge compliment to my team. They [Chelsea] are filled with quality players.” Related Articles: BUY ANYTHING ON KONG BUY NOW Follow the LMSINT MEDIA channel on WhatsApp: Join Our WhatsApp Group Hear: Chat on WhatsApp Join our Telegram Channel

A potential tragedy was narrowly avoided in Brazil as law enforcement successfully intercepted a planned bombing at a Lady Gaga concert in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday evening. The Brazilian Civil Police in Rio de Janeiro confirmed they have apprehended a suspect in connection with the thwarted attack. The authorities stated that the suspect, along with unidentified collaborators, had been engaging in online efforts to virtually recruit individuals to participate in the planned assault.

Security operatives from the Nigeria Police Force in Benue State successfully neutralized three armed criminals during a coordinated operation in the volatile Sankera region. The operation led to the recovery of illegal firearms and disrupted a planned assault on security forces. The incident unfolded in the evening of May 3, 2025, around 7:00 PM, after credible intelligence was received that criminal elements from Shitile and Ukum were secretly convening in Sankera to orchestrate attacks on law enforcement agents operating in the area. According to security sources cited by Zagazola Makama, the operatives traced the suspects to Tse-Gondo, a location close to a dense forest. A gunfight erupted as the Surveillance and Tactical Teams advanced toward the criminals’ hideout. During the exchange, three bandits sustained critical gunshot wounds. They were transported to a nearby medical facility, where health officials later pronounced them dead. The police recovered two locally crafted pistols and two live cartridges at the scene. Several others fled with injuries, including a notorious wanted criminal known as Baba Gule. Ongoing investigations have revealed that the ambush was reportedly initiated under the command of Konyo Amakaa, a known gang leader from Shitile. The motive behind the planned attack was retaliation for the death of Sughnen Ayua, a gang member who was killed in a separate confrontation with police on April 29, 2025. Security forces are continuing their efforts to locate the fleeing suspects and dismantle the broader criminal syndicate that has been responsible for escalating insecurity in Sankera and surrounding communities.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict with Russia could be implemented immediately if sufficient international pressure is placed on the Kremlin. He made this statement on Sunday during a joint press briefing with Czech President Petr Pavel in Prague. Zelenskyy emphasized that without intensified efforts from Ukraine’s allies, Russian President Vladimir Putin is unlikely to take serious action to stop the war. “Without stronger pressure, we believe Russia will not adopt any meaningful steps to halt the conflict. Today is the 54th consecutive day that Russia has disregarded the American initiative for a full ceasefire,” he noted. Zelenskyy stressed that an immediate truce could commence even today, ideally lasting at least 30 days to allow diplomatic avenues to progress constructively. LMSINT MEDIA earlier reported that President Putin had announced a three-day ceasefire from May 8 to 10, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s triumph over Nazi Germany during World War II. However, Zelenskyy dismissed this as insufficient, urging instead for an unconditional 30-day ceasefire, aligning with a U.S. peace initiative introduced in March. Zelenskyy also highlighted the Czech Republic’s ongoing support since Russia launched its invasion in 2022, noting Prague’s leadership in providing Ukraine with large-calibre ammunition. The Ukrainian President criticized Russia’s planned May 9 military parade, stating that rather than showcasing tanks, President Putin should focus on resolving the conflict. “Three key actions are necessary now: heightened sanctions on Russia, unwavering assistance to Ukraine, and stronger defense partnerships throughout Europe. Russia must recognize that Europeans are ready to defend themselves,” Zelenskyy concluded.

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has directed federal authorities to reactivate the infamous Alcatraz prison, situated in San Francisco, California, which now stands as a well-known historic monument. Trump proposed that Alcatraz should undergo significant reconstruction and expansion to accommodate the nation’s most dangerous and violent offenders. This declaration was made public through Trump’s Truth Social platform on Sunday. In his statement, Trump revealed that he has instructed the Bureau of Prisons, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, and the FBI to take action in reviving a “substantially enlarged and rebuilt” version of Alcatraz prison. The intent, he emphasized, is to detain “America’s most ruthless and violent offenders.” “We will no longer allow ourselves to be intimidated by lawbreakers, violent individuals, or Judges unwilling to enforce the law and facilitate the removal of criminals who entered our nation illegally,” Trump stated. He further explained that reopening Alcatraz would stand as a renewed emblem of justice, discipline, and national order. “The reopening of ALCATRAZ will serve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE. We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he declared. According to Trump, the United States has long suffered from an ongoing crisis involving brutal, repeat criminal elements. He remarked that in previous decades, America demonstrated firmness by swiftly incarcerating its most dangerous individuals and isolating them from society. Originally established in 1934 on a 22-acre rock island, Alcatraz operated for 29 years before its closure. Today, Alcatraz Island is a widely visited destination in San Francisco, managed by the National Park Service.

Aliko Dangote, Africa’s wealthiest businessman and the president of Dangote Refinery, has revealed that powerful interest groups within Nigeria’s oil and gas industry are still actively attempting to hinder the progress of his 650,000-barrels-per-day refinery project. As reported by global news outlet Semafor, Dangote made these revelations while speaking during a recent investor gathering held in Lagos over the weekend. According to Dangote, certain individuals and networks that benefited immensely from Nigeria’s long-standing government-subsidized petroleum imports are responsible for undermining the $20 billion refinery project located in the Lekki Free Zone, Lagos. “For an extended period, those who profited substantially from subsidized oil importation have consistently worked against the advancement of this refinery,” he stated. He added that these same interest groups are allegedly backing efforts to resist President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decision to eliminate fuel subsidies and have also posed obstacles to the smooth operation of the privately-owned refinery. Nonetheless, Dangote expressed unwavering confidence in overcoming these setbacks, emphasizing his resilience and determination in the face of adversity. “This fight is ongoing, but it’s not new to me. I have faced challenges throughout my life, and I am fully confident that victory will be ours in the end,” he affirmed. It is worth recalling that the Dangote Refinery began retailing petroleum products in September 2024, a move that significantly reduced the volume of fuel imports into the Nigerian market. President Bola Tinubu had previously declared the end of fuel subsidy payments in May 2023 during his inauguration address, a decision that marked a major policy shift in the country’s energy sector.

President Bola Tinubu is set to engage in high-level discussions with Nigeria’s power generation companies (GenCos) to tackle the escalating N4 trillion debt threatening the nation’s electricity supply chain. This initiative follows a recent meeting between Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, and GenCos’ chairpersons in Abuja. The discussions were prompted by growing concerns over potential national grid failures due to liquidity challenges in the power sector. The Federal Government has committed to immediate actions aimed at reducing the substantial debt owed to GenCos. The companies have reported being owed N2 trillion for electricity supplied in 2024, in addition to N1.9 trillion in legacy debts. Bolaji Tunji, Special Adviser on Strategic Communications and Media Relations to the Minister, stated that the government plans to settle a significant portion of the debt promptly. The remaining balance is expected to be addressed through financial instruments like promissory notes within the next six months. Minister Adelabu emphasized the urgency of the situation, highlighting the government’s determination to prevent a collapse of the power sector. He described the scenario as a national emergency requiring swift intervention. The GenCos, led by Col. Sani Bello (retd), Chairman of Mainstream Energy Solutions and head of the Association of Power Generating Companies, have warned that the sector faces imminent collapse due to mounting debts and liquidity issues. Bello pointed out that the financial strain has severely limited their operational capabilities and access to necessary funding for maintenance and infrastructure upgrades. Kola Adesina, Chairman of Egbin Power and First Independent Power Limited, echoed these concerns, stating that the stability of the power sector is crucial for the functioning of industries, homes, and essential services like hospitals. Minister Adelabu acknowledged systemic failures and policy inconsistencies as contributing factors to the sector’s challenges. He advocated for comprehensive reforms, including the liberalization of the electricity market and the implementation of cost-reflective tariffs. Adelabu stressed that while subsidies are unsustainable in the long term, the government will continue to provide targeted support for economically disadvantaged Nigerians. Dr. Joy Ogaji, CEO of the Association of Power Generation Companies, outlined additional challenges faced by GenCos, such as erratic gas supply, payment defaults, and foreign exchange volatility. She noted that the significant depreciation of the naira has adversely affected maintenance budgets and loan repayments. Adelabu revealed that regulatory reforms are underway to enhance market stability and reduce levies. He called on GenCos to collaborate with the government in raising public awareness about electricity consumption, efficient usage, and the realities of tariff structures.

ABUJA — Social media personality Martins Vincent Otse, popularly referred to as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has reportedly been taken into custody by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over suspected breaches related to cyberstalking. A confidential source from within the EFCC informed LMSINT Media that Otse was apprehended due to multiple allegations claiming he had utilized his digital platforms to threaten, insult, and intimidate certain individuals, which may be in violation of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015. While pressed for details regarding the identities of the complainants, the source refrained from offering further clarification. VDM’s legal counsel, Deji Adeyanju, speaking from outside the country, disclosed to LMSINT Media that he would be returning to Abuja by Monday afternoon to pursue bail for his client. He noted that the EFCC has not officially stated the specific offense Otse is accused of. Meanwhile, LMSINT Media has learned that the anti-graft agency may file formal charges against Otse imminently. Critics Decry Arrest as Abuse of Power Activist Omoyele Sowore and several civil society advocates have condemned the arrest, labeling it an unlawful attempt by the EFCC to silence VDM after his criticism of the agency and its leadership. According to them, the move lacks legal merit. Sowore emphasized that the EFCC does not have the authority to prosecute issues like libel, criminal defamation, or cyberbullying, which are typically matters of civil litigation, not criminal charges. He stressed that VDM should be immediately released. Similarly, the Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) described the detention as arbitrary and illegal, calling on the EFCC to free VDM without delay. In a public statement from Abuja, HURIWA’s National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, accused the commission of acting outside its legal boundaries and favoring the interests of commercial banks over the rights of citizens. “The EFCC is gradually becoming a mechanism of oppression against average Nigerians, rather than serving as a watchdog against corruption,” Onwubiko stated. He continued, “It is both morally wrong and legally flawed to treat a citizen like a criminal simply for questioning suspicious deductions from his mother’s bank account.” Details Surrounding the Arrest The rights group revealed that Otse’s arrest occurred shortly after he visited a Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) branch in Garki, Abuja, seeking clarity over alleged unauthorized withdrawals from his mother’s account. He was arrested alongside a friend, Steven Avuara (C-PACK). Both men were reportedly assaulted and blindfolded during the arrest. According to representatives from Deji Adeyanju and Partners, who visited EFCC headquarters, VDM was being detained under a warrant signed by Magistrate Njideka Iloanya-Duru, on allegations linked to cyberstalking. A statement issued by Zainab M. Otega, Esq., from the same firm, disclosed that Otse has refused to speak to anyone since the incident, citing the trauma endured during his forcible arrest. “Our clients were apprehended violently and without clear justification — a direct infringement on their legal and human rights,” the law firm emphasized. HURIWA Demands End to Cybercrime Law Abuse HURIWA also warned against the EFCC’s alleged manipulation of the Cybercrime Act, which it claims is being used to suppress activist voices. Onwubiko further criticized the unequal application of justice, accusing the commission of ignoring significant financial crimes perpetrated by political elites connected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). “It’s astonishing that major figures from past administrations, particularly in ministries like Humanitarian Affairs, roam free despite serious allegations, while citizens like VDM are arrested for raising questions,” Onwubiko noted. The association reiterated that Otse’s arrest contradicts constitutional protections that ensure the right to free speech and due process. HURIWA maintained that unless EFCC abides by the law, legal action will be initiated to uphold the rights of not just Otse, but all Nigerians committed to accountability and transparency.
