WHAT IS REQUIRED OF US AS CHRISTIANS AMIDST THIS COVID 19 PANDEMIC.

http://obinnamichaelochili.comMy advice To the people of our great nation Nigeria at this point in time.
If we can fear God the way we fear coronavirus and other threatening issue causing havoc around us, we would by now be positive on who we are .
Don't use this period as a period to engage in any kind of sin, for Whatever you do in life  whether seen or  unseen has a reward .

Reve 22 v 12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work". 

The leaders who roots and  are still re -rototing recovered rooted funds made for public use, has a reward for that .

A public servant who refused to carry out his duty because of favour or interest has a reward.

Governors and  political leaders who embezzles funds and coverts properties entrusted to them has a reward.

The police officers who sees the gun given to them for safety keeping of those around them as an opportunity to extort money, maltreat  and kill the said innocent people entrusted on them to guide and protect , has a reward.

 managers/ directors who use there opportunity as one to take bribe and sleep with female counterparts with a promise to engage  or promote them ,your rewards awaits you.

Lecturers us who extorts money from the students and sleep with female students in the name of awarding marks to them ,your rewards awaits you.

Those who tell lies in the name of profit making or for interest of any kind your rewards awaits you.

Rev 22 v 11:He who is evil and unjust, let him go on doing evil and been unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

Rev 22v 14:Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 

Rev22v15: But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, liars and whoever loves and practices a lie.

Therefore when the time comes the rooted billions, extortion funds, bribes in our accounts can not save us.because God can not be bribed .
The houses and mansions we build everywhere there is estate and the large plots of lands we acquire in a new layout ,will not save us 

The lands we compulsory acquire from the poor,can not save us on the last day.

The wealth we emance for our children both living and unborn will not save us.

The "i am this and that", will not save us .

Very filthy life we live in the name of belonging to the ruling class or to succeed, will not save us on the last day.

WHO KNOWS THE LAST DAY?
The last day can be any time .once a person dies there is no opportunity for repentance again.

What can only save us is having fear of God and keeping his commands.

Living a holy  and righteous life , helping the poor and need ,clothing the naked,visiting the 
Those in the hospital and freeing the captive .
Matthew 25 v 31-46.

Anyone who continue to live in sin shall not enter or inherit  the kingdom of God.Gal 5 V 21.

Galatians 5:19-21 King James Version (KJV)
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 
Colossians 3 v 6 the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience.

We must come back to God and ask for his mercy and forgiveness and leave our old self .
There is satisfaction in serving and obeying God's commandments.

THERE IS NO REPENTANCE IN GRAVE YARD.

The promise of God is that he will protect us from every danger and from every deadly diseases. Psm 91 v3 

Therefore let's put all our trust in God for He will surely↘️
↘️protect  us and keep us safe amidst the covid 19 pandemic.

Are We at a Judicial Crossroads with the Decisions of Justices Umar and Omotosho on INEC’s Electoral Guidelines?

The two decisions of the Federal High Court delivered respectively by Justice Mohammed G. Umar and Justice James Kolawole Omotosho are already generating intense constitutional and electoral discourse within legal circles. Both judgments dealt with the legality of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)’s administrative timetable and guidelines issued for the 2027 general elections vis-à-vis the provisions of the Electoral Act 2026. Although both courts addressed substantially similar legal questions, they arrived at partially convergent and partially divergent conclusions. This has now sparked debate among senior members of the Bar on whether Justice Omotosho ought to be reprimanded for allegedly delivering a judgment inconsistent with that of Justice Umar. This article examines the two judgments, identifies their points of agreement and disagreement, and evaluates whether the controversy over judicial contradiction is legally sustainable or merely academic se...

GROUNDS FOR OBJECTING TO THE ADMISSIBILITY OF A DOCUMENT IN PROCEEDINGS IN NIGERIA.

GROUNDS FOR OBJECTING TO THE ADMISSIBILITY OF A DOCUMENT IN PROCEEDINGS IN NIGERIA.  The position of E.C MPI, Esq When a witness is led in evidence in chief to tender a document, such a witness is referred to his deposition on oath and pointed to a place where he pleaded the document the document sought to be tendered. Counsel applies to show the document to the witness and asked if he recognises the document and thereafter an application to tender is made to the court. The court directs the registrar to show the document to the other counsel to either object to the admissibility of the document or allow it to be admitted.

Admissibility of a document can only be objected to on points of law and in accordance with the provisions of the Evidence Act. This piece serves as a guide on how to object to documents sough...

The Value of Legal Practice and the Dignity of the Profession.

The statement by that “Do not be a lawyer who charges so low that your clients do not understand the value of the profession” is not merely a comment about legal fees; it is a profound reminder about the dignity, value, and integrity of legal practice. Law is a noble profession built on years of rigorous academic training, discipline, sacrifice, and continuous learning. Every lawyer invests enormous time, resources, and mental energy in acquiring the knowledge and skills required to represent clients effectively. Beyond the years spent in universities and the Nigerian Law School, legal practitioners daily bear the burden of advocacy, research, drafting, negotiations, court appearances, and the responsibility of protecting the rights and interests of clients. Unfortunately, the increasing trend of underpricing legal services has continued to diminish the perceived value of the profession. When lawyers charge excessively low fees merely to attract clients, it sends a dan...

The First Major Casualty of Section 83 of the Electoral Act 2026 May Have Emerged

The recent decision of the Federal High Court in Fubara Dagogo v. All Progressives Congress (APC) & 3 Ors., Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/591/2026 delivered by Justice Joyce Abdulmalik, represents a significant development in Nigeria’s pre-election jurisprudence. In that case, the court struck out the suit challenging the APC National Congress and proceeded to award punitive costs of ₦10 million each against the plaintiff, Mr. Fubara Dagogo, and his counsel, Chief Sir O.A.U. Onyema, for what the court considered a frivolous and non-justiciable action. The court held that the dispute arose purely from the internal congress and nomination processes of the political party and therefore fell outside the jurisdiction of the court by virtue of Section 83(5) of the Electoral Act 2026.  Justice Abdulmalik maintained that there was no allegation or proof of any breach of the Constitution, the Electoral Act, or the party’s constitution and guidelines capable of warranting judicial inte...

Common Problems in Marriage: A Review of the Book of Sirach

Common Problems in Marriage: A Review of the Book of Sirach Marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God, but it is not immune to challenges. Domestic violence, spouse abuse, and other issues can strain a marriage, causing emotional and physical harm to one or both partners. In this article, we will explore these common problems in marriage and examine the teachings of the Book of Sirach on how a Christian marriage should be nurtured. Domestic Violence and Spouse Abuse Domestic violence and spouse abuse are never acceptable in any marriage. The Book of Sirach (25:26) warns, "A wicked wife is a bitter thing, her boldness is like a lion's yoke." This verse highlights the destructive nature of abuse and violence in a marriage. Sirach (26:1-4) also emphasizes the importance of a virtuous wife, who brings joy and peace to her husband. Other Challenges in Marriage Other common challenges in marriage include communication breakdown, financial stress, infidelity, ...

Section 83 and the Myth of Judicial Silence in Party Politics

The recent assertion by my brother, Festus Okoye Esq, that lawyers have become scapegoats in internal party conflicts owing to their recourse to the courts calls for careful constitutional and judicial interrogation. At the centre of this debate lies Section 83 of the Electoral Act 2026, particularly the suggestion that it absolutely ousts the jurisdiction of the courts over the internal affairs of political parties. With the greatest respect to lawyers who are holding this view, that broad interpretation may appear overstretched and not constitutionally sustainable. Section 83(5) of the Electoral Act, read in isolation, appears to bar courts from entertaining disputes relating to party internal issues absolutely.  On a literal reading, it suggests a legislative intent to shield political parties from judicial scrutiny. That may not absolutely be true. Such a construction ignores a foundational principle of Nigeria’s constitutional order, which is the fact that...
