Rhapsody of Realities September 15th 2025, DON’T FORGET YOUR PRIORITIES

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day (Deuteronomy 8:11) It’s very easy to forget what you’re supposed to be doing for the Lord. I’m not just referring to individuals; even the Church in general can forget its priorities. Look at Church history; it only took three centuries from the inception of the Church for it to dominate the whole world. This was a phenomenal accomplishment in a day when communication and transportation were very slow. In 324 AD, Emperor Constantine abolished the persecution of Christians, and just six years later, by 330 AD, he declared Christianity the religion of the world. The Church was happy about this and, for some reason, became too relaxed. They didn’t see the urgency for evangelism because everything seemed fine. “Everyone’s kind of religious,” they thought, but Jesus didn’t come to establish a religion; He wanted men truly saved. Thus, it’s important to always reappraise our priorities. The children of Israel forgot their priorities. The Bible tells us how God gave them the land He promised them. With it, He gave them rest; there was peace, and everything was fine. (Joshua 21:43-45). He however gave them a warning in Joshua 23:7-8: “That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them: But cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day.” The Israelites tried to heed this warning for a while but eventually got carried away and began to serve pagan gods. That’s what happens when we’re not winning souls: the Church begins to get worldly. Soon enough, we start getting interested in their attractive job offers and mouth-watering businesses. They keep pulling us until we start forgetting that we’re supposed to be soul winners. That’s when you see Christians who can’t come to church because they have to go to work on Sundays. Some stop coming to church because business is booming and they always have to travel. Such people have forgotten their priorities. Don’t let the world pull you to its attractions; don’t forget your priorities. Maintain the sanctity of your fellowship and devotion to Christ and to spiritual things. Keep winning souls. You’re first and foremost a Christian; let that be evident in everything about your life. CONFESSIONWhat a joy to preach the glorious Gospel! The expansion of God’s Kingdom in the earth is my top priority, and I declare that nothing will distract me from channelling my energies towards turning men from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, making them citizens of God’s eternal Kingdom. Amen.

No Political Ambition Justifies the Blood of Any Rivers Citizen — Ibok-Ete Ibas

The outgoing Sole Administrator of Rivers State, Ibok-Ete Ibas, has urged the people of the state to put unity and peace above personal ambition, stressing that no political ambition or electoral triumph is worth the blood of any Rivers citizen. Ibas made this passionate call on Sunday during an interdenominational thanksgiving service held at the Ecumenical Centre in Port Harcourt, the state capital. The event was organized to mark Rivers State’s transition back to democratic governance following the successful conduct of the local council elections. LMSINT Media recalls that President Bola Tinubu appointed Ibok-Ete Ibas in March as Sole Administrator of Rivers State to oversee governance during the six-month emergency rule declared in the state. Reflecting on his tenure, Ibas noted that Rivers State was deeply divided, unstable, and plagued by mistrust before the intervention of emergency administration. In his words: “Political actors must sheath their swords because no political victory or personal interest is worth the blood of any Rivers citizen. The peace, unity, and prosperity of Rivers State must take precedence over personal ambition or partisan politics. Politics must never become an excuse to destroy the very state we are called to protect and serve.” The administrator emphasized that only collective commitment and prioritizing the state’s future above self-interest would guarantee long-term growth and stability in Rivers.

SPL: Rodgers Thrilled with Kelechi Iheanacho’s Impactful Celtic Debut

Celtic’s head coach, Brendan Rodgers, has expressed his joy following Kelechi Iheanacho’s remarkable debut performance for the Scottish champions. On Sunday afternoon at Rugby Park, Iheanacho came off the bench and delivered a decisive moment by scoring a late winner in Celtic’s 2-1 Scottish Premiership triumph over Kilmarnock. The Nigerian forward entered the match with 20 minutes left on the clock, immediately adding intensity to the attack. His determination paid off deep into stoppage time when he converted a crucial penalty, ensuring that the Hoops secured all three points. Rodgers emphasized that such a dramatic debut goal would serve as a massive confidence booster for the 28-year-old striker moving forward. “I’m delighted for Kels (Kelechi Iheanacho) because he’s a player who really thrives on confidence, the backing of his coaches, and the love of supporters. That goal will be hugely significant for him,” Rodgers stated via Celtic’s official website. Iheanacho recently joined Celtic Park on a free transfer earlier this month, and expectations are high for the Super Eagles star to contribute significantly throughout the season. His dream start has not only excited the fans but also set the tone for what could be an impactful spell in Scotland.

Manchester United: Peter Schmeichel Slams Ruben Amorim, Demands Tactical Overhaul

Manchester United icon, Peter Schmeichel, has strongly criticized the club’s manager, Ruben Amorim, after the Red Devils suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in their recent Premier League clash on Sunday. The legendary Danish goalkeeper, now 61, expressed disappointment over United’s lack of progress under Amorim, who took over managerial duties last season. According to Schmeichel, the club has not shown any significant improvement since Amorim’s arrival, raising serious concerns about the team’s direction. Schmeichel insisted that Amorim must reconsider his tactical setup if United is to regain form and restore their competitive edge. Quoting from his post-match comments shared by Metro UK, Schmeichel stated: “Looking at Manchester United’s team, I honestly feel the club hasn’t moved forward. Nothing has changed. Manchester City didn’t even need to play exceptionally well to secure the win. Amorim has to rethink his tactics, possibly altering the system to allow players to perform in roles they are comfortable with. A traditional four-man defense would be a better option.” The humbling loss at the Etihad Stadium has left Amorim’s Manchester United languishing in 14th place on the Premier League table, with just four matches played so far this season. This poor start has sparked growing frustration among supporters who are questioning both the manager’s strategy and the players’ performance. For many fans and analysts, Schmeichel’s remarks echo a broader sentiment that Manchester United needs a complete tactical overhaul if they are to compete with the likes of City, Arsenal, and Liverpool this season. The pressure is now firmly on Ruben Amorim to turn things around quickly before the season slips further out of reach.

EPL: Danny Simpson Raises Concerns Over Three Manchester United Players, Expresses Sympathy for Benjamin Sesko

Former Manchester United defender Danny Simpson has raised serious doubts regarding the effectiveness of three Red Devils players — Patrick Dorgu, Noussair Mazraoui, and Diogo Dalot — under manager Ruben Amorim’s tactical system in the English Premier League. The ex-United full-back did not mince words while analyzing the team’s weaknesses, pointing out that these players may not be viable options if Manchester United hopes to thrive against high-level opposition. Simpson further admitted that he felt sympathy for striker Benjamin Sesko, who appeared isolated and ineffective due to a lack of service and support in Sunday’s disappointing performance. The comments followed Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat to arch-rivals Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, a game that highlighted the gulf in quality between the two sides. Manchester Derby Recap In the highly anticipated derby clash, Phil Foden and Erling Haaland were the heroes for Pep Guardiola’s City side. Foden opened the scoring with a composed finish, while Haaland added his name to the scoresheet to secure the victory. A late goal from Foden sealed the win, leaving United frustrated and under pressure. Simpson’s Tactical Breakdown Speaking to Stadium Astro, Simpson explained where he feels United’s system is breaking down: “The ball goes to Dorgu on the left. City let him have it because they know he is not going to hurt you. He will try to run up and down all day, but there’s no real threat from the flanks,” Simpson said. The former defender stressed that when Amad Diallo operates as a wing-back, he looks capable of influencing play with creativity and flair. However, he questioned the effectiveness of Dorgu, Mazraoui, and Dalot, insisting they fail to provide the penetration and delivery required in the Premier League. Simpson continued: “When you have Dorgu, Mazraoui, or Dalot in those wide positions, I don’t think that system can function in the Premier League. And when it comes to creating opportunities, I really felt sorry for Sesko. He’s trying, but there’s absolutely nothing he can do without service.” Concerns Moving Forward These remarks add further weight to the growing scrutiny around Manchester United’s squad depth, player selection, and Amorim’s adaptation to English football. Critics argue that the Red Devils need greater attacking balance, especially from wide areas, to complement forwards like Sesko, who rely heavily on quality service. For now, the questions surrounding Dalot, Dorgu, and Mazraoui will remain until United find a way to restructure their flanks and create consistent chances in high-stakes matches.

EPL: Donnarumma Explains Why He Rejected Manchester United After City’s 3-0 Victory

Former Manchester United legendary goalkeeper, Peter Schmeichel, has shed light on a private conversation he had with Manchester City’s new signing, Gianluigi Donnarumma, regarding the Italian’s decision to snub the Red Devils despite heavy persuasion. Schmeichel, who is widely regarded as one of United’s greatest shot-stoppers, revealed that he tried on several occasions to convince Donnarumma to move to Old Trafford. However, the 25-year-old goalkeeper decided to join Manchester City, making his debut during their emphatic 3-0 Premier League win over Manchester United at the weekend. Pep Guardiola’s men dominated the highly anticipated clash, with Phil Foden scoring once and Erling Haaland netting a brace to seal all three points. The result further highlighted the growing gap between the two Manchester rivals this season. Donnarumma’s first Manchester City appearance The fixture was Donnarumma’s first official outing for the Cityzens following his £26 million transfer from Paris Saint-Germain during the summer transfer window. After the final whistle, Schmeichel approached him at the touchline, questioning why he had turned down United’s interest despite earlier hints of wanting to play in England. Speaking on Premier League Productions, Schmeichel explained: “I’ve followed PSG closely in the Champions League, and I’ve spoken with him many times—he speaks English fluently. Over the past season, I kept telling him, ‘We want you at Manchester United.’ He even admitted he’d love to play in England. So after the match on Sunday, I said, ‘What are you doing here? You should be standing in the other goal for United.’ But he replied, ‘I’m very, very happy here.’ His performance today showed exactly why.” Manchester United’s early struggles continue The defeat against Manchester City marked United’s second loss of the Premier League season. Erik ten Hag’s side has now played four matches, securing only one win, one draw, and suffering two defeats, leaving them with just four points. Currently, United sit 14th on the Premier League table, raising concerns about consistency and squad depth. Their next crucial fixture will see them face Chelsea at Old Trafford, a game that could further shape their season trajectory. For Manchester City, Donnarumma’s confident debut signals another strong addition to Guardiola’s squad as they continue their push for dominance in both domestic and European competitions.

EPL: Danny Simpson Reveals Why He Felt Sympathy for Benjamin Sesko

Former Leicester City star, Danny Simpson, has openly shared his sympathy for Manchester United’s summer signing, Benjamin Sesko, following another difficult Premier League outing. The young striker found himself powerless once again as Manchester United endured a humiliating 3-0 defeat to their fierce rivals, Manchester City, at Old Trafford on Sunday. The derby was dominated by Pep Guardiola’s men, with Erling Haaland scoring twice after Phil Foden had broken the deadlock in the first half. According to Simpson, the Red Devils are currently struggling to create meaningful opportunities across every area of the pitch, leaving Sesko isolated and frustrated. “I felt sorry for [Benjamin] Sesko today. He’s putting in the effort, but there’s simply nothing he can do when the team fails to create chances,” Simpson told Stadium Astro. Despite Manchester United adding several talented players during the summer transfer window, the club continues to mirror the same poor form they showed last season. So far this campaign, Ruben Amorim’s side has played four league matches—managing just one victory, suffering two defeats, and securing one draw. With only four points collected, the Red Devils currently sit in 14th place on the Premier League table, raising fresh concerns among fans and pundits. Simpson further criticized Amorim’s tactical choices, particularly the decision not to start young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo. He added:“Crazy [Mainoo didn’t start]. The moment he came on, there was more energy and drive in the midfield.” The former Sporting CP coach is now under immense pressure to transform Manchester United’s fortunes and stabilize results at Old Trafford. Up next, Manchester United face an in-form Chelsea side at home next Saturday in what promises to be another crucial test for Amorim and his players.

Mixed Reactions as Dangote Refinery Commences Nationwide Fuel Distribution

Nigerians and energy industry stakeholders have expressed mixed feelings as the Dangote Refinery officially begins nationwide fuel distribution using its Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks today, Monday, September 15, 2025. Over the weekend, hundreds of the refinery’s branded trucks were already sighted on Nigerian highways, particularly along the Lekki–Epe Expressway in Lagos State, signaling the start of what is expected to be a game-changing fuel delivery system. The multi-billion-dollar refinery, valued at $20 billion, earlier revealed that it invested about ₦720 billion to procure 4,000 compressed natural gas trucks, though reports indicate that only around 1,000 trucks have been delivered so far. According to the Dangote Group, the initiative is strategically designed to reduce retail fuel prices and is projected to save Nigeria a staggering ₦1.7 trillion annually in fuel distribution costs. New Fuel Price Template Last Thursday, the company rolled out its updated fuel pricing template, pegging the ex-depot price at ₦820 per litre. Retail pump prices, however, vary across states, ranging between ₦841 and ₦851 per litre. While this development has been described as innovative, it has also generated disruptions and concerns in the downstream oil sector, with unions and marketers divided on its impact. Stakeholders Voice Concerns The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG), which has been at loggerheads with Dangote Refinery over alleged anti-labour practices, described the fuel distribution plan as a “Greek gift” to Nigerians. Similarly, the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN) criticized the initiative, insisting that Dangote’s free delivery cost structure for nationwide distribution is misleading. In contrast, the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has openly supported the scheme, urging members to take advantage of the opportunity by registering with the refinery. Rising Concerns Over Dangote Truck Accidents The deployment of thousands of trucks comes amid increasing road accidents involving Dangote vehicles nationwide. In one tragic incident, Ruth Otabor, sister of Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner Phyna, lost her life after being crushed by a Dangote truck in Auchi. Over the weekend, several passengers sustained injuries when a Dangote truck collided with a Benue Links passenger bus along the Lagos–Kogi expressway. Expert Opinion: Between Innovation and Monopoly Risks Speaking with LMSINT MEDIA, Professor Wumi Iledare, an Emeritus Professor of Petroleum Economics, noted that the refinery’s move into CNG-powered trucking is innovative and could potentially lower costs, promote gas utilization, and reduce carbon emissions. However, he raised concerns over the danger of unchecked dominance, stressing that Dangote’s control of both refining and transportation could stifle competition if not properly regulated. “Dangote’s foray into CNG trucking is commendable and aligns with global trends in vertical integration. However, the risk of a monopoly is high if a strong regulator is not in place,” Prof. Iledare explained. “Safety remains another pressing issue. Nigerians are still mourning Ruth, Phyna’s sister, who was killed by a Dangote truck in Auchi. Added to this are concerns about nationwide traffic gridlock as thousands of trucks take to the highways.” He emphasized that while innovation should be encouraged, government agencies must enforce safety standards, strengthen regulation, and protect fair competition to ensure that convenience and affordability are not overshadowed by disruptions.

Farmers and Traders React to Tinubu’s Food Price Cut Order

The recent directive by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to reduce food prices across Nigeria has generated mixed reactions among farmers and food traders. While the initiative was announced to bring relief to struggling households, many within the agricultural and trading sectors believe it could create financial challenges for them. Last week, President Tinubu ordered an immediate crash in food prices as part of his administration’s measures to ease the rising cost of living for ordinary Nigerians. However, those directly involved in farming and food supply argue that the policy may have unintended consequences. Malam Abba Sani, a farmer based in Kano, expressed his concerns in an interview. According to him, the cost of farming inputs such as seeds and fertilizer has already risen sharply. He questioned how farmers would be able to recover their investments under the new price-slash directive. “We bought seeds and fertiliser at very high prices. If food prices are forced down, how are we supposed to regain our money?” Sani lamented. He further explained that although the policy might look attractive to the general public, farmers like him may end up suffocating under the pressure of reduced returns. In a similar development, Bashir Madara, the Public Relations Officer of Singer Market, one of the largest food markets in northern Nigeria, also shared his perspective in a discussion with LMSINT MEDIA. He acknowledged that Tinubu’s decision comes with good intentions for the poor, but highlighted the potential negative impact on traders with existing stock. Madara stated: “Every patriotic Nigerian who truly wants the less privileged to have some relief will appreciate the President’s decision to cut food prices. However, traders who already have stockpiled goods will suffer losses once the new directive is enforced.” He explained that in the past, many traders bought in bulk to maximize profits, but the current economic climate has forced them to change strategy. According to him, most traders now purchase smaller quantities of goods to sell quickly, reducing the risk of being affected by sudden government price interventions. “Today, traders carefully monitor market direction. Unlike before when businessmen made bulk purchases, now they prefer stocking what can be sold in a short time, hoping prices might drop further before their next purchase. This approach reduces heavy losses, although some risk remains,” Madara said. While acknowledging that losses are inevitable, he advised traders to dispose of their old stock promptly before the government’s price reduction order is fully implemented. He also appealed to the government to balance the interests of both traders and the citizens when implementing such economic measures. Despite his caution, Madara concluded that the order remains beneficial for ordinary Nigerians struggling under inflation. He reiterated that the government should, however, create supportive policies to protect those who supply the markets, ensuring both traders and consumers can thrive.

Ondo Government Suspends Senior Officials Over Teacher Recruitment Fraud

The Ondo State Government has officially suspended three senior officials for their alleged role in a recruitment fraud linked to the recent employment exercise for teachers in the state. The suspended officers include two directors and a deputy director, who were removed from duty following the directive of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, pending the outcome of an ongoing investigation into the job racketeering scandal. According to reports, the officials were accused of collecting between ₦500,000 and ₦700,000 from unsuspecting job seekers, depending on their academic qualifications, in exchange for fraudulent appointment letters. The scam was uncovered after several individuals staged a protest, claiming they were unfairly excluded from the biometric verification exercise for newly employed teachers. However, investigations later revealed that most of the protesters had presented forged employment documents, which raised suspicion. In an official statement released by Prince Ebenezer Adeniyan, Chief Press Secretary to Governor Aiyedatiwa, the government clarified that the protesters were not among the more than 2,000 teachers legitimately recruited and already deployed across various schools in the state. Adeniyan explained that internal findings confirmed that the three suspended officials at the Ondo State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) had conspired with external accomplices to provide fake appointment and posting letters to unsuspecting applicants in exchange for large sums of money. Governor Aiyedatiwa’s spokesperson emphasized: “The attention of the Governor has been drawn to a protest by some individuals who claimed they were wrongly excluded from the SUBEB recruitment process. To clarify, these protesters were not genuine employees of the state but rather victims of fraud. They paid money to scammers and were issued counterfeit letters. During biometric verification, their documents were discovered to be invalid. Disciplinary action has been taken against the three SUBEB officials found guilty of colluding with outsiders to exploit job seekers.” This development highlights the government’s resolve to maintain transparency and accountability in public service recruitment while assuring citizens that fraudulent practices will not be tolerated.

Rhapsody of Realities September 14th, 2025, IN CHRIST, THE PROMISES HAVE BEEN FULFILLED

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us (2 Corinthians 1:20). God’s promises are not uncertain or pending. In Christ, every promise God ever made has already been fulfilled. You don’t need to beg, wait, or wonder, because in Him, the answer is “Yes” and the confirmation is “Amen!” Hallelujah! Imagine all the beautiful promises of the Old Testament, the entire blessings of Abraham—they’ve all been fulfilled in Christ. Now that you’re in Christ, you’ve possessed the blessings. You’ve received the promise of the Spirit and the fullness of divine life. 2 Peter 1:3 tells us that His divine power has “…given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.” Every blessing you can ever imagine, anything good that you can ever contemplate in Christ Jesus, they’re already your present-hour possessions. Sadly, due to their ignorance of this reality, some Christians live as though they’re still trying to obtain what God has already given to them. They pray and cry for what they should simply acknowledge and receive by faith. You were born into an incorruptible inheritance. All things are yours now: “Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21-22). The Word says, “He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32). This means nothing is withheld from you. God gave you His best, the Lord Jesus. Along with Him, He freely gave you everything: eternal life, righteousness, divine health, prosperity, wisdom, victory, etc. It’s time to stop “seeking” and start walking in the blessings. Enjoy your inheritance in Christ. Declare, “All things are mine. All blessings and divine favours are mine, and I enjoy them in real-time.” If it’s written in the Word, then it’s already yours. Take possession with your words. Rejoice like one who has received. Act like one who has inherited the blessings. You’re not a beggar in the Kingdom. You’re a possessor. All the promises are yours, and in Christ, they are fulfilled. Glory to God! PRAYERDear Father, what joy to know that in Christ I’ve possessed all things; all blessings and divine favour are mine, and I enjoy them in real-time. I walk in divine health, prosperity, righteousness and victory. Nothing is missing or lacking in my life. I live in the fullness of God’s blessing, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

How Atiku, Obi, and Kwankwaso Paved the Way for Tinubu’s 2023 Presidential Victory – Ex-Presidential Aspirant

Former President of the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria and 2023 presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mazi Sam Ohuabunwa, has revealed that the inability of opposition candidates to form a united front in the 2023 general election gave President Bola Ahmed Tinubu the needed advantage to secure victory. According to him, the disunity among Atiku Abubakar of the PDP, Peter Obi of the Labour Party, and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) ultimately weakened the opposition bloc. He emphasized that the fragmentation of votes was a decisive factor that handed Tinubu his win under the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Opposition Votes Could Have Changed the Outcome In an interview with The Sun, Ohuabunwa stated that if the votes garnered by the three major opposition figures had been combined, the results would have been different. He stressed that the collective votes of Obi, Atiku, and Kwankwaso nearly doubled those of President Tinubu in 2023, which shows that unity could have significantly altered the political landscape. “If those votes were merged, Tinubu would not have emerged victorious,” Ohuabunwa noted, highlighting the critical role of coalition politics in Nigeria’s democracy. Why Tinubu Benefited from Opposition Defections Ohuabunwa further explained that the exit of the three powerful politicians and their supporters from the PDP was a huge loss to the party and a turning point in the election. Their departure created an opening that allowed the ruling APC to consolidate its strength and emerge victorious. He argued that the APC capitalized on the disunity, just as it had done in the past when it rose to power through a coalition involving the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), and the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC). The 2027 Election and the Possibility of a Coalition Looking ahead to the 2027 elections, Ohuabunwa expressed optimism that if Atiku, Obi, and Kwankwaso can put aside personal ambitions and unite, they have a real chance to unseat the ruling party. However, he warned that the APC is determined to frustrate any attempt at forming such a coalition. “From all indications, the APC does not want this alliance to succeed. They don’t want it to take root, talk less of bearing fruit. But if the opposition can work together, they will have the numbers to defeat the ruling government—provided there is a free and fair election,” he added.
