Maria Orosa was a Filipino food scientist who used nutrition as a weapon during World War Two. She created survival foods that kept prisoners and civilians alive during severe starvation.
Soyalac was a high-protein soy powder used as a milk substitute. Darak was a rice bran vitamin food that prevented early beriberi.
These foods were smuggled into prison camps hidden inside hollow bamboo poles. To survive transport, Darak was mostly prepared as a thick, concentrated paste rather than a liquid. Once inside the camps, it could be mixed with water to make a nourishing drink. Soyalac, being a dry powder, was easy to transport and resistant to spoilage. These clever methods allowed life-saving nutrition to reach the starving prisoners undetected.
Maria refused to flee Manila even when danger increased. She worked until the day she died because feeding people was her duty.
SOYALAC RECIPE Ingredients
• Soybeans
• Water
Steps
Wash soybeans and soak overnight.
Rub beans to remove the hulls.
Boil beans until soft to remove the raw smell.
Drain well.
Roast beans in a dry pan until fully dry and slightly brown.
Grind into fine powder.
Store in a dry container.
How to use
Mix 2–3 teaspoons of Soyalac powder with hot water to make a protein drink.
Steps
Sift rice bran to remove large particles.
Lightly toast in a pan to reduce rancidity.
Mix with water and boil for several minutes to form a thick paste.
Strain if needed to remove excess fiber.
Add sugar if available.
Store in small containers or bamboo tubes for transport.
How to use
Dilute the paste with water before drinking to provide energy and vitamin B1.
HER IMPACT
Maria Orosa created over 700 food formulas. She invented banana ketchup, Soyalac, and Darak. She used science to fight starvation and saved thousands of lives. She died at her post during the Battle of Manila.
The Federal Government has announced plans to roll out Nigeria’s first nationwide clove farming programme, targeting over 74,000 farmers across the 36 states and the FCT.
According to official reports, the programme is scheduled to take off from the 2026 wet farming season, with at least 2,000 farmers per state expected to participate. Farmers involved are to be supported with quality clove seedlings and basic production inputs to help establish plantations.
Cloves are one of the highest-value spice crops globally, used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and essential oil production. Despite this, Nigeria does not currently produce cloves commercially, and most of the cloves consumed locally are imported from Cameroon and other countries.
The FG’s objective is to diversify agricultural exports, reduce dependence on imports, and position Nigeria to tap into the multi-billion-dollar global clove market. If well implemented, the programme could create long-term income for farmers, since clove trees are perennial and productive for decades once established.
However, success will depend heavily on proper seed quality, suitable growing zones, farmer training, extension support, and long-term commitment, because cloves take several years before full commercial yield. Without these, the programme may struggle.
If done right, this could mark Nigeria’s entry into a crop that has remained largely untapped despite its strong global demand and profitability.
This post shares practical notes on ginger processing, sourcing, and marketing, based on current field realities. I got this info from Jeffy Farm on facebook, an export expert.
1. Ginger Processing Equipment and Cost Estimates
For small to medium-scale processing:
- Washer: for washing the ginger
- Splitter: Used to split ginger before drying. Splitting by hand can introduce infections that will lead to the ginger being rejected by the buyer.
20 kW splitter is about N1m. Smaller one is around N400,000
- Dehydrator
1,000 kg capacity: about ₦2,000,000
500 kg capacity: about ₦500,000
These machines help convert fresh ginger to dry ginger suitable for local and export markets.
2. Where to Buy Fresh Ginger Cheaply
Best locations: Kafanchan and other parts of Southern Kaduna
Buy directly from farmers, not middlemen
Farm gate price can be around ₦70,000 per bag, compared to ₦100,000 when buying through traders
Best buying period: November to December (harvest season)
3. Processing Yield (Important for Planning)
About 50 bags of fresh ginger produce 5 to 10 bags of dry ginger, depending on moisture and quality
Current selling price of dry ginger: about ₦600,000 per bag
4. Where to Sell Dry Ginger
High-demand markets include:
Apapa (near Lagos seaport)
Ajah area, Lagos
Dry ginger sells fast in these areas because exporters and bulk buyers are present.
5. Cost and Profit Overview
It will cost ₦300,000 – ₦400,000 to processed fresh ginger to 1 bag of dry ginger
Selling price per bag of dry ginger: about ₦600,000
This leaves room for profit after processing, transport, and handling.
6. Supplying Exporters in Large Scale
For those targeting exporters do this:
- Partner with a trusted farmer in Kaduna
- Tell him to organize about 40 farmers
- Provide funding or input support for ginger farming
- Farmers in that region are generally reliable and experienced
To secure buyers:
Take samples of dry ginger to exporters in Apapa or Port Harcourt
Negotiate supply agreements before scaling up
7. Key Trading Principle
The best time to trade agricultural produce is during harvest, when supply is high and buyers are active. Buy cheap at harvest and sell cheap.
The judge asked the killer of former Egyptian President, Anwar Sadat, "Why did you kill Sadat?"
He said to him, "Because he is secular!"
The judge replied: "What does secular mean?"
The killer said: "I don't know!"
In the case of the attempted assassination of the late Egyptian writer, Naguib Mahfouz, the judge asked the man who stabbed Naguib Mahfouz, "Why did you stab him?"
The terrorist said: "Because of his novel - The children of our neighborhood."
The judge asked him: "Have you read this novel?"
The criminal said: "No!"
Another judge asked the terrorist who killed the Egyptian writer 'Faraj Fara': "Why did you murder Faraj Fouda?"
The terrorist replied: "Because he is unfaithful!"
The judge asked him: "How did you know he was unfaithful?"
The terrorist replied: "According to the books he wrote."
The judge said: "In which of his books did you know he is unfaithful?"
The Terrorist: "I haven't read his books!"
Judge: "How?"
The terrorist replied: "I can't read or write!"
Hate never spreads through knowledge. It always spreads through ignorance. This is how societies pay the price of ignorance.
Ignorance is the reason we hate others based on what we heard about them (In most cases without evidence) not what we know.
Please don't hate anyone because of what they told you about him or her.

One of the most dangerous “small things” many men still allow is letting a barber use a public clipper to trim nose hairs.
It looks sweet, neat, fast, and harmless, but biologically, it is a high-risk practice that people seriously underestimate.
Nose hairs (vibrissae) are not cosmetic.
They are part of your first immune defense.
They trap dust, bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens before they enter deeper into the respiratory tract.
When a clipper is pushed into the nostril, two things happen immediately, the protective barrier is removed, and microscopic cuts are created inside a highly vascular area.
Now add the public clipper factor.
Clippers used on multiple people can carry bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, including resistant strains, and fungi.
When these organisms enter tiny cuts inside the nose, they gain access to blood vessels.
The nose sits in what medicine calls the danger triangle of the face, an area where venous blood can drain toward the brain.
This means infections here can spread faster and become more serious than people realize.
What starts as small pain, swelling, or a boil inside the nose can progress to nasal abscess, facial cellulitis, cavernous sinus thrombosis, or even bloodstream infection (sepsis).
These are not exaggerations.
They are documented clinical conditions that often require hospital admission, IV antibiotics, and sometimes surgery. Delay makes outcomes worse.
The risk is higher in people with diabetes, poor immunity, smoking habits, chronic stress, or sinus issues, but even young and “healthy” men are not exempt.
This has nothing to do with strength. It has everything to do with broken barriers and bacterial access.
If nose hair must be trimmed, use your own personal trimmer or disinfected scissors, gently and not deep inside the nostril.
A barber should never insert a shared clipper into your nose. That is not grooming. That is unnecessary biological risk.
Some damage doesn’t announce itself loudly.
It starts quietly, at micro level, then becomes a serious problem.

What is thermal receipt paper? Thermal receipt paper is the paper used to print receipts in shops, supermarkets, ATMs, and fuel stations.
This paper does not use ink. Instead, it has special chemicals on it. When heat from the machine touches the paper, words appear. What chemicals are in receipt paper? Many thermal papers contain chemicals called BPA or BPS. BPA (Bisphenol A) and BPS (Bisphenol S) help the paper change color when heated.
Some receipts say “BPA-free”, but they often contain BPS instead. Why are these chemicals a problem? BPA and BPS can affect the body’s hormones. Hormones are natural messengers in the body. They control growth, energy, reproduction, and many body activities.
When chemicals disturb hormones, they are called endocrine disruptors. Endocrine disruptor means something that confuses the body’s hormone system.
This confusion can slowly cause health problems. How do these chemicals enter the body? The chemicals can enter the body mainly through the skin.
This happens when:
You hold receipts with bare hands.
Your hands are sweaty or oily.
You use hand sanitizer before or after touching receipts.
The chemicals can also move from your hands to food or your mouth. Possible health effects Scientists are still studying this, but repeated contact may be linked to:
Hormone problems.
Fertility problems (difficulty having children).
Problems with growth in babies.
Body weight and sugar problems.
This does not mean one receipt will make you sick. The risk increases with frequent contact over many years. Who is more at risk? Some people touch receipts more often than others:
Cashiers and shop workers.
Market sellers.
Pregnant women.
Children.
These groups should be more careful.
Are BPA-free receipts safe? Not always.
Many BPA-free receipts use BPS, which may affect hormones in a similar way. So BPA-free does not always mean safe.
How to reduce your risk You can protect yourself with simple steps:
Do not collect receipts unless you need them.
Keep receipts away from food.
Wash your hands after handling many receipts.
Avoid using hand sanitizer immediately before or after touching receipts.
Shops can use digital receipts or phenol-free paper.
Final message
Thermal receipt paper is useful, but it contains chemicals that may affect health over time.
Touching receipts once in a while is not dangerous. The main concern is regular and long-term contact.
Being careful and reducing contact is a smart and simple way to stay safe.

PPR is a highly contagious viral disease that affects small ruminants like sheep and goats. It spreads quickly and can kill a large number of animals, causing huge losses for farmers. The virus mainly attacks the respiratory system (lungs, nose, throat) and the digestive system (stomach and intestines).
Common Symptoms
Fever
Loss of appetite
Diarrhea (sometimes bloody)
Nasal and eye discharge
Coughing and difficulty breathing
Mouth sores and drooling
Weakness and lethargy
High mortality in young or unvaccinated animals
PPR is a major problem in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East, threatening farmers’ income and food security.
Types of PPR Vaccines
1. Live-attenuated vaccines
The main type used to prevent PPR
Usually gives long-lasting protection with just one dose
2. DIVA vaccines
Newer vaccines under development
Help tell the difference between animals infected naturally and those vaccinated
Useful for monitoring and eradication programs
3. Recombinant vaccines
Made using specific viral proteins to trigger immunity
Still being researched
How PPR Vaccines Protect Animals
Immune response: Vaccines train the animal’s body to fight the virus using both antibodies and immune cells
Protective antibodies: These prevent the real PPR virus from causing disease
How Vaccines are Given
Usually given under the skin (subcutaneous injection)
Researchers are exploring easier methods, like mixing the vaccine in feed for large herds
Vaccines are safe and effective, protecting animals for several years
Challenges and What’s Next
Cold chain: Vaccines must be kept cool during transport and storage, especially in hot climates, or they may lose effectiveness
Vaccine failure: Sometimes vaccines don’t work if they go bad due to poor handling
Eradication goal: Organizations like the FAO and WOAH aim to completely eliminate PPR globally by 2030, with vaccination as a key tool
A student “playing around” may have cracked the biggest battery problem ever
In 2015, a PhD student at UC Irvine, Mya Le Thai, got tired of batteries dying. Not just phone batteries, but the fact that all batteries slowly break down and become toxic waste.
While researching capacitors, she tried something outside her plan. She took ultra-thin gold nanowires, coated them with manganese dioxide, then wrapped them in a flexible gel similar to Plexiglas. She was just experimenting.
Then she started testing.
Normal lithium batteries degrade after 300–500 charge cycles. Good ones last maybe 5,000.
It still worked like new.
Her supervisor didn’t believe it at first. Batteries are supposed to fail. The materials crack as they expand and shrink during charging. That is why batteries die.
The gel coating solved that. It let the nanowires flex without breaking. No cracks. No degradation.
If this were a phone battery, you could charge it every day for over 500 years before it weakened.
The implications are huge:
-Massive reduction in toxic battery waste
-Batteries that outlast phones, laptops, cars, and even medical implants
-Long-life energy storage for solar and power grids
So why isn’t this in your phone yet?
Because lab breakthroughs are not products. Gold nanowires are expensive. Manufacturing at scale is hard. Energy density is lower than lithium-ion. Existing factories are built for old battery tech. These are engineering and cost problems, not failures of the idea.
The research was published in 2016 and is still influencing battery science today, especially for grid storage and long-life systems where durability matters more than size.
The key point is this: Mya Le Thai proved battery degradation is not inevitable. A problem accepted for over a century was shown to be solvable.
Her battery isn’t on the market yet.
But the door is open.
We now know batteries don’t have to die in a few years. They can last decades… even centuries.
Nigeria currently does not meet the standard most garri exporters require. This is not just content creation—it is a reality. Out of all the garri produced in Nigeria, only about 10% is exportable. I say 10% based on experience.
I come from Benue State, where the largest garri market around me is purely a garri market, yet not a single basin from that market meets export standards. I also studied in Ogoja, Cross River State. They have a smaller garri market there, and without talking anyone down, the quality is even worse—most of the garri is not properly dried and they sun-dry
Through my research, I discovered this is one of the reasons Ijebu garri has built a strong reputation. It’s not that Benue people cannot process garri to that level—Benue can even do better. The challenge is that producers are used to selling only to the local market. Asking them to change their production pattern feels like speaking a foreign language. However, if they adapt to export standards, the value and price of their garri will increase significantly.
Since I started working closely with exporters, I have realized that Nigeria largely lacks the standards they demand, and this is why countries like Ghana are currently leading. I honestly wish I could organize a training class for all the garri producers in my area.
Nigeria’s handling of kola nut is one of its quietest but deepest economic failures.
Here is a tree the world values for its power and utility, yet at home we reduce it to ritual use.
Outside Nigeria, kola nut is not tradition. It is an industrial input.
It goes into:
- Natural caffeine extraction for energy drinks
- Cola flavour concentrates
- Pharmaceutical stimulants and appetite control products
- Herbal formulations and nutraceuticals
- Functional foods designed for focus and endurance
That is why it leaves the country silently.
While kola is being shared on trays during ceremonies, other countries are processing it, standardising it, packaging it, and selling the finished products globally, including back to Nigeria, in foreign currency.
This crop is not demanding. It lives long. It yields for decades. It does not require daily labour.
Plant it once and it can outlive you while producing value.
Yet what do we do?
We sell it unprocessed. Ungraded. Undervalued.
There is no serious value chain. No industrial thinking. No long term vision.
Inside a single kola nut is energy, medicine, flavour, export potential, and generational wealth.
At home, it is dismissed with "make we break am."
Consider the figures many prefer to ignore:
One acre accommodates roughly 40 to 60 kola trees
Fruiting begins in 4 to 7 years, or about 3 years with grafted varieties
Average yield per acre is about 0.2 to 0.3 tonnes annually
Raw kola sells locally at around N1m to N1.2m per tonne
Productive lifespan ranges from 50 to well over 100 years
This is a crop capable of sustaining households, supplying industries, driving exports, and building wealth across generations.
Still, we treat it as a ceremonial afterthought.
That is not a lack of knowledge. It is deliberate self destruction.

Most people see “NO BROMATE” printed boldly on bread nylons… but many don’t know the real reason behind it.
What Is Bromate?
Potassium bromate (KBrO₃) is a chemical that bakers once used to make bread rise better, look fluffier, and feel softer. It was cheap, effective — and dangerous.
The Hidden Danger
If bread isn’t baked hot or long enough, bromate doesn’t break down fully. It stays inside the loaf. When humans eat it repeatedly, it can accumulate in the body.
Studies later confirmed that bromate is carcinogenic — it can cause cancer and seriously damage the kidneys.
For years, Nigerians unknowingly ate bread containing this silent threat… until one woman decided it had to stop.
Enter Professor Dora Nkem Akunyili
As NAFDAC Director-General (2001–2008), she stepped into a chaotic food and drug system filled with fake products and harmful additives. Dora quietly sent teams into bakeries nationwide to collect bread samples.
The test results were shocking — most breads contained dangerous levels of bromate.
The Ban That Saved Lives
In 2002, NAFDAC under Dora Akunyili banned potassium bromate in bread production. She went public, warned Nigerians, and even called out bakeries using it. Her message was clear:
“The bread you give your children could be destroying their health.”
She faced fierce resistance from bakers, but she refused to back down.
NAFDAC carried out raids, shut down violators, and educated the public. Gradually, bakeries switched to safer alternatives like ascorbic acid (vitamin C).
This is how “NO BROMATE” became a symbol of safe, healthy bread.
Her Legacy
Many Nigerians today don’t realize how many lives this single decision protected. Dora Akunyili’s courage forced an entire industry to prioritize human life over profit.
So next time you open a loaf and see “NO BROMATE” written on it, remember the woman whose actions made that safety possible.
Have you ever poured a glass of milk and wondered what’s really inside? Some posts online claim that most milk sold in stores is “chemical imitation milk,” full of detergents, starch, and fake powders. But how much of that is true, and how much is fear-mongering? Let’s break it down.
What Real Milk Is Pure cow milk is a natural liquid that contains:
Water (~87%) – the natural liquid part
Fat – gives creaminess and carries fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K)
Protein – casein and whey, for building and repairing tissues
Lactose – natural sugar for energy
Minerals & vitamins – calcium, potassium, vitamin B12, etc.
If milk is pure, it should only contain these things. Nothing extra.
Fake Milk Claims: What to Believe
Some online claims say milk contains detergents, starch, industrial powders, melamine, or plant fillers.
❌ Detergents, melamine, and starch are not in regulated packaged milk in Nigeria.
✔️ They can appear in illegal adulteration, mostly outside Nigeria.
❌ Low-fat or powdered milk is not inherently fake — they are just processed differently.
Why Packaged Milk Lasts Long
Long-life milk lasts weeks or months because of:
Ultra-Heat Treatment (UHT) – milk is heated to ~135°C for a few seconds
Sterile packaging
No need for chemical preservatives
❌ This does not mean chemicals are added. Milk is still nutritious.
Low-Fat and Powdered Milk
Low-fat milk has some fat removed; lost vitamins (A & D) are added back — safe and legal
Powdered milk is simply milk with water removed, sometimes with vegetable fat for cost efficiency
Vitamins or stabilizers may be added — approved and safe
Hormones and Antibiotics
Milk naturally contains tiny hormones — too small to cause puberty or hormonal disruption
Antibiotic residues are tested; factory milk is safe
Fortified Milk
Some milk is fortified with vitamins and minerals because heat reduces them during processing
❌ This is not fake — fortification is safe and regulated
Hidden Sugars
Low-fat or flavored milk may contain added sugar
Always read the label to check
How to Check Your Milk
Read the ingredients: real milk will list only milk (or milk and fat-adjusted components)
Don’t rely on myths like “cream separation” — most milk is homogenized
Health Takeaway
Most packaged milk in Nigeria is safe, regulated, and nutritious
Fear-based claims about detergents, chemicals, and fake milk are largely false
Reading labels and choosing trusted brands is the best way to stay safe
Conclusion
Milk is nature’s beverage — not a chemical formula. Avoid illegal or street adulterated milk, but don’t be fooled by exaggerated online scare stories. UHT, powdered, low-fat, or fortified milk is still milk, and still good for you.
About 5 years ago, a brother who stays abroad got interested in palm kernel crushing business.
He contacted his brother who was in Nigeria to go learn about crushing so that he can set up a place for him.
The brother got into learning and after sometime he declared he has learned all it takes to start crushing.
Not quite long, his bother came down, they got a space, put structure in place.
This brother went to China, brought in foreign experler, they fixed everything and business kicked off.
After some months he travelled back abroad leaving his brother with some workers to manage things.
Was the business lucrative? Yes, very.
Companies and big buyers were clustering around hoping to be getting oil in large supplies...
Yes the brother learned the business but he lack: management skill, had no good attitude towards business, zero money handling skill, no readiness to learn and grow the business even with all its potential.
Along the line they had no money to keep inventory of raw materials.
Some days they opened the factory, some other days, it is locked.
They kept managing the factory like that, one week in and one week out.
Meanwhile anyone who was into crushing that saw this factory was envious of the place.
You would imagine yourself been handed over such sweet babies.
You would imagine the exploits you would do with these machines dripping water showing how ready they were to be put to work.
Unfortunately, the dog said " those who had bum, do not know how to seat"
That factory only was operational for 1 year before it was shut down.
Many crushers went to meet with them to lease the place, they refused.
Some wants to buy the machines, they refused.
The brother abroad hoped to come home to start operations again...
2026 will make it 3 years since the factory is under lock and key.
Dilapidation, wear and tear, rust must have dealt with the machines.
That's how that millions was thrown into waste.
In the same business where others became wealther,
Some are made poorer.
To become rich, you must know:
How to make money
How to manage money
And how to invest money.
A question that often comes up in Bible discussions is:
After Cain killed Abel and God cast him away, where did Cain get his wife from?
This question puzzles many because the Bible doesn’t explicitly tell us where Cain’s wife came from. Some wonder: if Adam and Eve were the first humans, and Cain and Abel were their sons, who else was around for Cain to marry?
The most common explanation is that Adam and Eve had other children besides Cain, Abel, and Seth, who aren’t all named in Scripture. Genesis 5:4 mentions that Adam “had other sons and daughters.” So Cain likely married one of his sisters or a close relative—something necessary in the very early stages of humanity. At that time, there were no laws against marrying close relatives, and genetic concerns we know today were not an issue for God’s plan to multiply humanity.
Years later, when Moses led the Israelites, God introduced specific laws forbidding marriage between close relatives (Leviticus 18). These laws reflected God’s perfect timing and concern for the health, social, and moral order of humanity as populations grew. What was permissible in the early generations, like Cain marrying a sister, became forbidden under the Mosaic Law to protect families and society.
This question reminds us that the context of Scripture is important. God’s commands and allowances evolved with humanity’s development, and some things are left unsaid in the Bible, requiring careful reasoning and understanding.
Your future is in your hands, you can still be a pretty girl with a womb, you can still be a wife material for a guy that will value you. Don't disvalue yourself for just ice cream, or just chicken and chips all in the name of "I am hungry".
Don't disvalue yourself for that guy who have no future ambitious, who have no tomorrow, don't bring shame to your home. Don't lose your marriage for just 2 months, Don't lose that future in 30mins,
Don't lose your happiness, don't lose your children for just iPhone 14, If you are poor work hard, don't think guys who give you money daily will not collect something from you....., my dear there is nothing new under the sun, if you think hookup will feed till old age; then you are totally wrong
Don't use your body as a platform to generate income or money. Don't forget that there is no end to your need.
Don't forget the pain to hustle and struggle, the pain to be focus is better than the pain of reject
Don't forget God will forgive you of your sins but the consequences of your actions will still be carried by you !!!
No man wants to marry a girl with no womb, no man wants to marry an empty vessel, no man wants to marry a liability, no man wants to marry a lady that can't define motherhood.
No man wants to marry a pretty girl without no vision, no future ambitious
No man wants to marry a pretty girl without brain, the real sexiness is in the brain!!!!
I will not marry such. A responsible man will not marry such. No responsibe father will allow his son to marry such.
So don't think it is my village people "na your hand e dey"
SISTER JOY, I don’t understand.
Is it that the more you pray in tongues, the shorter your skirt becomes?
Abi the fire in your tongue dey burn the skirt?
Because this one no clear me at all.
You cannot tell me you are a Christian and spirit-filled, speaking in tongues, yet your interest and desire for short dresses is still very much alive. Something is not adding up.
You even went further to change the colour of your hair from black to brown, white, and so on, yet you claim to be a tongue-speaking child of God.
Hmm… SISTER JOY, please what is the name of that Holy Spirit you have? Is it the one I know?
Because the Holy Spirit I know will not only give you tongues to speak. He will affect your appetite, desires, and likes. He will bend, break, and boldly form you into what He desires.
If the tongues you speak are not changing your appetite for worldly things, if they are not helping you live by what your mouth speaks, then that tongue is not of the Spirit of God I know.
If the more you pray in tongues:
Your appetite for worldliness is increasing
Your love for short skirts is increasing
Your mouth is running more and more in gossip
Your heart is growing thicker in lust, hatred, bitterness, and pride
Your secret sin is still as fresh as the day you met Jesus
Then the problem is not the tongue.
The problem is you.
Your heart needs help.
You need to stop priding yourself on spiritual ascension and how long you pray in tongues, and instead meet God for a surgical work on your heart. ❤️
Because prayer is not about how long you pray in tongues, but about what happens to you and how it affects your life. Ask God to work on your heart, so you can move like Him and live like Him.
Pastor ABEL DAMINA is a Nigerian pastor that have been spreading false messages. Below are some og those false messages and bible verses that prove him wrong.
1. ABEL DAMINA: God is not in heaven. Anywhere God was before he created heaven, he is. BIBLE: After this manner therefore pray ye: OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN, Hallowed be thy name.
Matthew 6:9 KJV
But OUR GOD IS IN THE HEAVENS: He hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.
Psalm 115:3 KJV
and said, Behold, I SEE the heavens opened, and the Son of man STANDING on the right HAND OF GOD.
Acts 7:56 KJV
Thus saith the LORD, The HEAVEN IS MY THRONE, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
Isaiah 66:1 KJV
2. ABEL DAMINA: Forget about Abraham's faith, it was a drama. Abraham knew he couldn't kill his son.
BIBLE: BY FAITH ABRAHAM, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises OFFERED UP HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead(HE BELIEVED THAT IF HE KILLED HIM, GOD COULD RAISE HIM, JUST AS WE BELIEVE); from whence also he received him in a figure.
Hebrews 11:17, 19 KJV
3. ABEL DAMINA: God didn't command Noah to make an ark as I understand Heb 11.
BIBLE: Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch.
Genesis 6:14 KJV
4. ABEL DAMINA: Jesus is not the lion of the tribe of Judah, only unbelievers said he is. Lion is dangerous and he cannot have the character of Jesus.
BIBLE: And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: BEHOLD, THE LION OF the TRIBE of JUDA, the Root of David, hath PREVAILED TO OPEN THE BOOK, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Revelation 5:5 KJV
=Metaphor: Lion is the king of all animals in the jungle, Jesus is the king of Kings and all people on Earth. Jesus being lion is a metaphorical language, it means he is the king of us, just as lion is the king of animals.
TO FOLLOWERS OF ABEL DAMINA: Yes, you must have holy Spirit to understand Abel Damina🤣🤣🤣🤪
