Apostle Suleman’s Teachings: Positive Attitudes That Turn Life Around

Destiny is influenced by certain qualities. These qualities do alter fates. One needs to be careful about these things because what a man will be in life depends on him. According to the teachings of servant of God, Apostle (Prof.) Johnson Suleman, a principle is a moral rule that controls, influences, explains how a man lives and enjoys life.

There are six lessons about life given below by the firebrand cleric that have great influence on life; either they make a man happy or sad. They explain that the spiritual life also has impact. They affect a man for good or evil because, according to the man of God, they have an impact on what a man does, have done and they affect his destiny.

Be Conscious

You are waiting for the bridegroom. But the truth is this; the bridegroom may not come but you may go. The Bible says ‘And they went to meet Him, He didn’t come to meet them. Carefulness is activated when there is consciousness of departure. Be conscious that one day you are going to leave this world. Earlier in life, people die when they are old. But these days death doesn’t come according to age, it comes when it wants to come.   

Focus on Help

Maximize opportunities because they may not continue. In this world, nobody owes you anything. When God gives you somebody who helps you in life, I beg of you, thank the person every day. Focus on help because it is not common.

Don’t Be Stupid

The definition of stupidity or wisdom is a functionality of abundance or lack of ore. The real definition of either wisdom or stupidity is directly proportioned to the availability of the abundance or scarcity of ore. How do you know a man who is foolish or wise? Check his ore level. This is because the ores are of the anointing of God.

Be A Source

When you are a source you become a voice. The reason about life is, the reason many of us cannot speak is because we have nothing to empower our voice. The reason a lot of people are incapacitated in life, vocally; the reason some people cannot exercise their rights is because they are not yet a source.

Be Positive

If you want to look at life and be sad, there many things to make you sad; even the government could make you sad. Your family, friends would make you sad. But if you choose to be happy, there are many things to make you happy. You are just seeing a new day. I like what a songwriter says; ‘every time I wake and see the breaking of the day, I say Thank You Lord.’ I’m not heartbroken, I’m not sad. You cannot make me sad. My situation cannot depress me. The trials of life cannot weigh me down. Rejoice in the Lord. You’ve got to be excited. Have a positive outlook to life. There might be no money in your pocket; it should not affect your outlook because your outlook determines your outcome. Your wife, brothers and friends may turn their backs on you; it should not affect your outlook because your outlook determines your outcome.     

Seek The Anointing

Though you may have a calling. Though it is your right. Though you were trained as an accountant in school, though you read Medicine in the Medical School, whatever your calling is, you still need the Anointing to help and empower you. The Anointing is the Power and Empowerment of God. The Anointing is the Power that helps man to enjoy life cheaply. The Anointing is the Power that makes life and issues favourable. The Anointing is that aura and ambience that comes upon a person and makes him or her eat life with 25 fingers. The Anointing is that Grace upon you and you walk out of trouble triumphantly. Upon you I release the ore of God. That ore will flow in your direction. It will bring you out of problems. It will bring you out of sickness and battles.

Servant of God and founder and spiritual leader at INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Lagos, Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele, has released the 2018/2019 edition of his annual prophecy book, 'Warning to The Nations'. At a parley in his church on Saturday, August 4th, 2018, the popular prophet highlights the contents of the book before a select group of journalists from Nigerian major print and online newspapers and bloggers. Below are excerpts from the encounter...

What has God shown you can stop the killings in the country?  

What will caution these killings in Nigeria, the solution if the government can do it is, (i) let’s practice true federalism (ii) let there be no election in 2019 (iii) let’s have an agreement that states should go on their own and take care of their resources, this will caution corruption, because they only bring tax or percentage to the federal to take care of themselves, that is when the state policemen can work. If we want Nigeria to move forward it is not the election in 2019 that is the way forward for the country, the solution is, let the states be independent, then our electoral body too, by the time we do that their won’t be killings, and much later if we don’t want to live together, you can now opt out. Either we like it or not Nigeria will not exceed 2035. Let us pray against the death of a prominent Emir. Let GLO chairman pray for his health and his business because I see very serious challenges facing his business soon. Benin Republic president won't win a second term in office. Ghanaian president should work hard and pray hard so that his second term would not be jeopardized on the altar of ethnicity. The international community will gang up against the Buhari government towards 2019 general elections. Rashidi Ladoja will not be Oyo governor again. He should perish the ambition,  says the Lord.

Have you given these solutions as a concerned Nigeria or as what God has showed you?

I'm not a politician, and I don’t want to be one. If we see that that is not the solution then we can go for another one, but this is a solution that will bring us from the burden we are. We are not voting for conscience any longer in election, we are voting for money, and is everywhere in the world not Nigeria only.

Do you see the youth coming to leadership positions from 2019? 

If you are a youth and you don’t have money you cannot be recognized, but when you have money you can go places. So any youth without money can’t, and you must also have a political godfather and you must know how to join political thuggery which will give them the avenue, but every politician has youths as thugs, so my fear for the youth is we haven’t seen any seriousness in them, they are not yet determined to do what is right, expect they shun violence for any political purpose and have integrity. Poverty is also the problem, there is too much of hardship.

You once spoke about senate president, Saraki, that if he didn’t contest for presidency, God will be annoyed with him. Now that Saraki is with PDP are you still standing that he should contest?

See the new prophecy book first because it is a very important issue. We said it a long time ago and you can tell what is happening now.

Do we take whatever you say here as prophecy so that people will not confuse your words with opinion?

I'm not a politician and I don’t give opinions, all I say is prophetical.

Sometimes ago you said you warned Ekiti Governor, Fayose which he disobeyed and that was why you said he failed to win governorship for his party; now in Osun State, by September there will be election. APC has broken into factions, what should we expect in Osun State?

First on the Osun State governorship election; we said it many weeks ago that the victory is between three political parties, APC, PDP and ADP. But i see APC winning if it puts its house in order. I see fight between the APC chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, and the party's Board of Trustees. This position of the Lord remains. The whole messages are contained in the book. On Fayose, I want to tell you that Fayose shot himself in the foot because of greed, self-interest and ingratitude, and these led to his party’s defeat. If he had not disobeyed God, his party would have been victorious in the July 14^th 2018 election. God revealed to us and we warned Fayose to desist from being selfish, greedy and ungrateful but he snubbed God’s warnings. He said he is also a prophet.  He kept deceiving the people that he had the gift of the prophets. Now, he has realized that God is not mocked. 

In 2014, you said that APC would take over power after Goodluck Jonathan, and that you foresaw another party coming up that would defeat APC and rule for 18 years and the party will be formed by some aggrieved elements from across the north. Are we getting close to the prophecy?

I still stand by that prophecy. God said that in the nearest future, a party will take over, and there will be no PDP or APC. We are going to see a strictly Northern party, a strong, regional party by the Northerners.

What do you foresee on the international scene?

Democrat will win the next election in America. President Donald Trump will survive impeachment but will not get a second term. He will be technically defeated. I see Texas in America being recognized as an independent state in 2038.

Who is God telling you will be the next president of Nigeria, do you see Buhari coming back; you said some political dynasties will go away by 2019, are you specifically referring to somebody, is Saraki the man God said will help Nigeria?      

Buhari’s second time is very dicey, and the honest truth is that if Buhari goes for a second term by force, there will be problems. God wants to use Saraki for something symbolic for four years only. If PDP can give him the presidential ticket, the party will bounce back and Nigeria will change for good. Otherwise, I don’t see any positive changes ahead.

You said God wants to use Saraki for four years, don’t you think that he could probably have achieved it because, in this present time that he is the senate president, some of the things happening under his leadership are not good enough.           

You as journalist can analyze that, but me I cannot because I’m not speaking as a politician but God’s servant. That is what I know and that is how I will answer it. If PDP wants to win, let them give Saraki the presidential ticket. Saraki's leadership will change a lot of things.

You said you don’t see Nigeria existing beyond 2035, I want to know if there will be bloodbath or the breakup will be peaceful?

Yes, Nigeria will break up but God says Nigeria’s breakup will be peaceful. 

Can you speak on why men of God contradict one another while giving prophecies?

God can give a prophet a message and for one reason or the other, He can take the message to another prophet to deliver. This is how God works. That is why I cannot analyze God the way He works. Either positive or negative, either it come to pass or not, I’m not in a position to judge God or any prophet or speak on anybody’s prophecies.

You said in the book that so many PDP governors will decamp, who are the governors?

They are both PDP and APC governors. Let’s wait and see. The book also talks about our warning in 2017 that the governorship ambition of Senator Solomon Yayi will hit the rocks. But if he can apply more strategies, I see him returning to the senate. Also, the book warned about the deaths of both former UN secretary-general, Kofi Annan and American lady singer, Aretha Franklin. I see INEC and Police being used by the ruling party in 2019 to get what I call 'technical rigging'. I see new billionaire businessmen  emerging in Nigeria while the likes of Dangote and Otedola will fizzle out. I see the government scrapping NURTW and new, corporate body will be established to run the transport union as a separate ministry and government will be appointing the leadership. This is what the Lord says. Akpabio will not be able to hijack the PDP structure from Akwa Ibom governor.

What do you foresee about the forthcoming Osun State governorship election, especially concerning the dancing senator

I don't know any dancing senator. But APC should put their house in order if they want to win the election. If they don’t they will lose it. I don't see Ladi Adebutu realizing his political ambition in PDP. Likewise, Adebayo Adelabu will not be given governorship ticket in Oyo State. That is what the Lord says. He is just wasting his time and energy. I see pride killing his political ambition. He needs to seek God's face. Amaju Pinnick's time at NFF is over. Ambode should be careful not to fight Tinubu after winning a second term in 2019. I see him winning. There will be no Lagos State in some years from now because Lagos State will be divided into two different states. I see Ekiti, Ibadan and Ondo producing food for the whole country in the nearest future. I foresee Kwara State becoming a political Mecca for other parts of Nigeria and it will be rich in rice production and cattle rearing. Kwara will also discover petrol, tin and gold in large quantity. 

     

"Why We Got NBC To Ban Falz's 'This Is Nigeria' Song" ...MURIC

The Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has said that after unsuccessfully trying to get Falz, a Nigerian singer to take down his viral video “This is Nigeria” they ‘ambushed’ him using National Broadcasting Commission (NBC).

A statement, Monday by MURIC Director Ishaq Akintola, stated that they avoided going to court as that might take years to resolve.

“We asked Falz to withdraw the video or we would sue him,” the statement read.

“Instead of showing remorse he dared us. We knew he could delay the court case for years because he is a lawyer and he would use every trick in the books to frustrate us. That was why he was boasting.

“Therefore, instead of going to court, we decided to ambush him by sending a petition to the video board. This week, the NBC banned the video and others like it.

“He should be the one to go to court now if he likes. Let him go and show how brilliant he is in court.

“He and his fans laughed at us when we complained about his provocative and vulgar video. But there is no doubt that he who laughs last laughs best. It is hoped that Nigerian artistes will borrow a leaf from this episode.”

The group commened the NBC they said  “Falz and other artistes should encourage the youth to emulate our heroes instead of pushing them to ape rogues. Finally, we commend NBC and the video censors board for acting swiftly.”

"I Love Being Free Without Clothes On" ...Top Model

ShugaTiti is a model making waves on the Ghanaian social media scene. The most obvious reason is because Shuga dares to pose nude in most of her photos and it has encouraged a huge following.

The young woman has skillfully played on her looks and physique to a very good extent. She is now very popular on entertainment blogging sites.

Now, 20 something-year-old model is riding on the waves of her newfound popularity. ShugaTiti is not shy of the spotlight neither of the cameras.

In a recent post on her Instagram page the model pose naked with the caption “I was born naked, no clothes on”. It does seem for Shuga that the endgame is to stay relevant in the news.

It seems for Shuga this is only the beginning of a good career. Even as a freelance model, her brand is fast growing up and that can only mean a good thing for the young woman.

METRO: Nigeria's Oldest Prisoner Clocks 100

Nigeria’s oldest prisoner, Pa Celestine Egbunuche, clocked 100 last Saturday, August 4, within the confines of Enugu Maximum Prison.

The centenarian, who hails from Akokwa in Ideato North Local Government Area of Imo State, was condemned to death along with his son, Paul and another relation, now 87.

They were said to have been engaged in a fight over a piece of land and in the process, somebody died. With such fate, Pa Egbunuche has for over 17 years lived in desolation and hopelessness.

But all hope is not lost as a non-governmental organisation, Global Society for Anti-corruption (GSAC) is pushing for his release. GSAC has appealed to the Federal Government and Governor Rochas Okorocha to use their board of mercy and release Egbunuche, his 78 years old relation and son from prison.

Zonal Resource Executive of GSAC, Amaka Nweke, commended Chief Judge of Enugu State, Justice Priscilla Emehelu, for her recent prison visit where many inmates were granted freedom pleaded with her to look into the case of Pa Egbunuche whom she said their investigation showed might be Africa’s oldest inmate.

According to the NGO, Egbunuche has suffered from diabetes over the years, adding that with his age and failing health, it will be proper to release him to go and possibly die peacefully at home. If eventually released, the organisation would also want the Federal and State Governments to take care of Pa Egbunuche’s rehabilitation.

Experts said that in other jurisdictions, inmates above 65 years are eligible for either parole or state pardon.

Dangote To Create Jobs, Up Investments in Niger

Dangote Group has assured the Niger State Government of its resolve to increase its investment in the state as a way to create employment opportunity for the youths, which will ultimately lead to real growth and economic development of the state.

Dangote’s Group Executive Director, Eng. Ahmed Mansur who represented the President of the Group, Aliko Dangote at the ongoing Niger State Trade Fair, said the state has all it takes to be industrialized given its vast land and natural resources, even as he commended the government of Abubakar Sani Bello for being proactive in the partnership with the Group and other private sector investors.

Wife of the Governor, Dr Amina Sani Bello, who declared the Dangote Day open said the contribution of the Group to the development of Niger State is incalculable.

President of the Niger Chamber of Commerce Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NCCIMA) Dr Umar Ahmed Bakai commended the Dangote Group for supporting and sponsoring the Trade Fair, adding that Alhaji Aliko Dangote has helped in job creation in the state.

He called on other investors in the country to emulate Mr. Dangote.

Speaking also, Chairman House of Assembly Committee on Investment Muhammad Nurudeen said the State House of Assembly welcomes private sector participation in driving the economy of the state.

Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Commerce and Investment Uthman Shehu urged the Dangote Group to scale up its investments in Shea Butter, saying the State has about 64% share of the total global shea butter production.

Africa’s industrial giant-Dangote Group-said its sponsorship of the ongoing Niger State Trade Fair was part of its commitments to support states toward the industrialization of Nigeria.

In partnership with states’ Chambers of Commerce, the Group has, over the years, sponsored most of the Trade Fairs across the country, a statement from the Group’s Corporate Communications Department said.

It said Niger State has vast arable land, mineral resources and great potentials for industrialization, adding that Governor Abubakar Sani Bello has taken the path to industrialization and job creation through his government’s partnership with the private sector.

The Trade Fair which opened on Saturday July 29, is expected to close on Thursday July 9, 2018.

The theme for the 16^th Niger’s National Trade Fair which is holding in the state’s capital, Minna is: ‘Exploring Agriculture and Solid Minerals as Panacea for Nigeria’s Economic Growth and Development.’

He said about 10 states, 12 Federal agencies and not fewer than a  thousand traders  were participating in this years’ fair.

Our reporter said the Dangote pavilion at the Trade Fair is a Mecca of a sort as participants thronged the pavilion to have a glimpse of its innovative products, while others want to be distributors for the company.

Some of the products with pocket friendly prices on display include the recently improved pasta (Slim spaghetti and macroni), cement, Dan-Q Seasoning, sachet sugar, salt among others. 

It said the participation of the Group was part of the strategic move to grow market share and expand customer reach.
