Nigerian Renaissance

Image
Hon. Gideon Joshua (Prince Bawa Joe) We have deeper and bigger problems in Nigeria. Kidnappers, ritualists and terrorists only just distract and compound them. These problems may be symptoms or creations of deeper and more fundamental issues. We really have lost our principles and scruples. Our roots have been severed by foreign incursions and replaced with something more vile and evil. Our traditional belief systems and culture have all been discarded and seen as pagan when elsewhere, they find a way to combine religion with culture. We have bastardized traditional institutions and converted those which were meant as checks and balances to autocratic monarchy into instruments of repression by a privileged few. They have become cults for those seeking power and domination. We have transformed well meaning elite and egalitarian campus fraternities into cults of thugs and criminals. In the West, those same fraternities help provide structure and meaning to the lives of young...

CORONAVIRUS TOO EXTRA ORDINARY FOR AVERAGE MIND.

Image
By: Prince Bawa Joe What we are witnessing in the world today is, to say the least, frightful and shocking. Yet it should not come as a surprise to the spiritually sensitive and discerning or to those that are schooled in eschatology or that are familiar with the many “end-time” prophecies in the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelations of the Holy Bible. What we are seeing before our very eyes is the perfect implementation of what is known in enlightened, learned, philosophical and intellectual circles as the “Hegelian dialectic”. The great British author, researcher and conspiracy theorist, David Icke, whose works I have been reading for many years and who saw all this coming decades ago, describes it as the “totalitarian tip-toe”. In a nutshell, it is the cultic practice of the ancient, evil and malevolent deceit and guile known as “problem, reaction, solution” and “order after chaos” and its ultimate objective is to establish the classic and dreaded Orwellian state. ...
