Are you really preaching love like this? You are just unhappy with anything good about Nigeria so far it is not Obi or probably Igbo.

Fact check. After hearing the steel part, I didn’t bother for the rest. 50% of the steel used was purchased from African Steel Mills located at Odogunyan Ikorodu. The remainder was imported because of specifications that couldn’t be met locally. Please check 🙏

Even if na bitter leaf or bitter kola you sucked from your mama breast,you shouldn't be this bitter. Allow Nigerians to celebrate Dangote refinery. Do not allow bitterness and hatred hinder your progress.

This man Follow for the Nigerian Cabals. Look at it this way. Nigeria has 3 refineries and non is being fixed for over 24yrs and the government moved in successions and no one was ready to fix it. Rather the current government granted an individual to build what will likely be used to Power The entire Nigeria Oil sector as a private business. Now tell me , how on earth did this “Convincing Juju “ work in order to put a halt to a national monument like our 3 refineries and placed a focus on an individual property which is approved by a Federal government. Who is giving the rules and who is obeying. Our debt has soared up to $4. 33 trillion and you can’t tell me that these borrowed monies couldn’t have been used to at least fixed One refinery to ease the economic and financial problems we are facing let alone the actual rise in PMS prices. Nigeria is still in the Stone Age. 😭😭😭😭😭 and that’s disgusting

1.1 MILLIONS NAIRA WAS GIVEN TO THOSE PEOPLE BROUGHT BACK FROM SOUTH AFRICA DO YOU HEAR ABOUT IT? It is a disgrace to all Nigerian bloggers, journalists, and especially our politicians who are so eager to take to social media to condemn President Tinubu. Let it be known, unequivocally, that President Tinubu will serve and complete his full eight-year term, regardless of any opposition. I recall ling ago when @Verydakman disrespected our compatriot abikedabiri over similar issues that our government took no action on time. Furthermore, the 1.1 million naira provided to those repatriated from South Africa was met with silence from many, including oseni rufai and SeunOkin Channels tv. One must question this animosity towards any positive action taken by President Tinubu. Notably, Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar remained silent on the matter. The fervent supporters of Peter Obi, whom some label 'ObiEdiots,' were evidently dismayed that President Tinubu's actions in aiding Nigerians from South Africa proved beneficial. Even our local celebrities offered no comment. Be warned: any ill intentions or accusations directed at President Tinubu and his family will rebound upon each of you, and your descendants for ten generations. You are a collection of fools; may misfortune befall you bastards. PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU JAGABAN OF THE WORLD TILL 2031. HE IS UNSTOPPABLE. Seyi Tinubu Sen Oluremi Tinubu, CON Kashim Shettima APC Nigeria Femi Gbajabiamila Rt. Hon. James Abiodun Faleke

Hi Stephen, It is actually PENGASSAN, not “PENGASSEN.” If you can’t even spell the name of the union, I wonder if you're commenting from a place of knowledge or a shallow place. Let’s clear the fog. Like most Nigerians, I do not always agree with unions. I’ve disagreed with PENGASSAN many times, even though I was briefly a member. Same way I was once part of ASUU but still critiqued them. But to brand every labour action as “selfish” is not just lazy, it is a dishonourable lie. You claim the “average Nigerian worker” is a looter. That’s a cheap insult. I work in a private sector, in an organisation much bigger than Dangote Refinery, with presence in over 100 countries, over 100 years in operation. Every Nigerian staff there has been a developer, not a looter. We don’t even fight for our rights, because they’re provided even before we ask. That’s what global standards look like. Now, let’s talk about the refinery engineers. Do you know what it truly means to become a refinery engineer in less than a year? Do you know the kind of sacrifices they made to make that refinery come alive? They pre-commissioned. They commissioned. They started up. They operated. They stabilized the plant. If they were useless, then maybe Dangote himself should put on a helmet and try doing what they did. Or cheap story tellers 'ike you should take the task. They went in without proper training. Without adequate PPEs. Some used their own money to buy safety gear, njust to keep the dream alive. Six days on, one day off. Some pulled 24-hour shifts during shutdowns. They lost lunch, breakfast, and rest facilities midstream. No health insurance. No safe working conditions. Yet they stayed, and delivered. And now, after giving all of that, they’re branded as saboteurs and cast aside. That’s not just unfair, it’s wicked. Quoting them directly: “Everyone says protect investment, yet nobody cares about the sweat and blood that keeps the investment alive. Today it is young engineers cast aside, tomorrow it could be your own son.” Now Stephen, tell me, after years of this kind of sacrifice with nothing changing, what should workers do? Sit quietly and smile while being exploited? Or demand fairness and dignity? Your “if you don’t like it, leave” argument is weak. It’s the excuse of those too blind, or too compromised, to confront injustice. No serious society develops that way. You don’t build world-class assets by treating your own people as disposable. Capital doesn’t run a refinery. People do. Protecting investment must include protecting the humans who make that investment productive. Otherwise, you end up with unreliable operations, safety disasters, and eventually, brain drain. And let’s stop dragging history wrongly. Yes, unions in America between 1920-45 were strong. But the lesson wasn’t “crush labour.” It was to strike a balance between capital and labour. Because when balance is lost, accidents, outages, and unrest follow. Stephen, you are wrong on the facts, wrong on the analysis, and wrong in spirit. If you really want Dangote and others to succeed, start by respecting the very professionals who turned steel and concrete into a working refinery. Without them, capital is dead weight. So next time, if you want to argue, at least argue with facts, not lazy stereotypes about Nigerians being looters. Thank you.

We vehemently oppose the distortion of truth surrounding Peter Obi's tenure as governor of Anambra State, particularly regarding the ongoing demolitions for the construction of the coastal super highway. Let's be absolutely clear: the allegations that Peter Obi demolished properties without compensation during his tenure are outright falsehoods. His stance was clear—he pledged to remove any structure obstructing existing roads, not to indiscriminately tear down properties. Everything he removed was encroaching on the road without government approval. Peter Obi's consistent track record speaks for itself. Consider the transformation of the Onitsha North Stadium, which he restored to its original purpose as a sporting facility, demolishing structures that obstructed it. This is just one of many examples that demonstrate his commitment to improving existing infrastructure rather than embarking on ambitious projects that disrupt livelihoods. His actions align with his arguments—he prioritizes repairing existing infrastructure over creating new ones that may never be completed, leading to job losses and economic disruption. The comparison drawn between his actions on Brewery Road and the current coastal super highway project is unfounded. Peter Obi removed structures on existing roads, not designed new ones to disrupt communities. Accusations of inciting particular groups against the government are baseless attempts to tarnish his character. His dedication lies in constructive dialogue and inclusion, not divisive politics. Claims of instigation are mere distractions. He advocates for unity and progress, rejecting reactionary politics and remaining steadfast in his commitment to serving with integrity. As for Dave Umahi, his recent actions show a departure from his role as an engineer. His disregard for procurement due process is concerning, and he should be cautioned by relevant professional bodies such as NSE and COREN. If he considers Peter Obi his brother, he should heed the warnings and avoid actions that could lead to disgrace or legal repercussions. In conclusion, Peter Obi's leadership exemplifies honesty, integrity, and a genuine concern for the welfare of Nigerians. Let us reject the manipulation of facts and unite for a prosperous future under leaders who prioritize the needs of the people. Dr. Moses Paul, Free Nigerian Movement

INEC Chairman is trending because Amupitan said if ADC wins in 2027, they will be disqualified and the runner up will be declared winner; drawing NADECO and Abacha comparison from Peter Obi [Explained] Timeline: 2022: Nafiu Bala becomes ADC deputy chairman to Ralph Nwosu. July 2 2025: Coalition adopt ADC, Ralph Nwosu and NWC leaders resigned handing over to David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola. July 30 2025: Nafiu Bala announce self as Interim National Party Chairman. July 31: ADC David Mark faction released Bala’s signed resignation dated May 18. August 1: Bala denied, said it was forged. And on July 2 Ralph Nwosu left him incharge until next convention. 27 August: Bala declares himself Party Chairman following the resignation of Ralph Nwosu and all Exco’s — Based on party laws; the leadership falls to the deputy chairman, him. David Mark Faction replied with CTC showing INEC already acknowledged his resignation and Mark as party Chairman, since August 12. 2 September: Bala files an ex parte to restrain Mark’s factions from parading as leaders and a subsequent motion barring them from holding meeting, congress or convention pending court ruling. — Granted. 4 September: Court directs INEC and David Mark be notified of the motions. 18 December: David Mark file an appeal challenging Federal High Court’s jurisdiction to handle the party leadership matter. 12 March 2026: Court of Appeal rejects the appeal, upholds Nafiu Bala’s motions and directs the High Court to expedite judgement as election is near. While granting the Bala’s motions compels INEC to temporarily disrecognize both factions, block both factions from events and retain status quo ante bellum, not just status quo, pending high court decision. Meaning, everything should go back to how it was before September 2 when chaos and court case started. April 1: INEC delisted African Democratic Congress, as ordered by court of appeal. April 2: ADC accuse Tinubu of destabilizing democracy by using state tools to remove disenfranchise opposition, demanded Amupitan’s resignation for interpreting court judgement with bias, vows to continue with Congress and convention scheduled for April 9. Today April 3: INEC chairman Amupitan denies working for Tinubu, says they’re only obeying direct court instructions, and if ADC proceeds with events and eventually wins, they’d be disqualified like it happened in Zamfara. He advised them to go to court which will be quick, since Court of Appeal already directed a swift proceeding. Reaction: patriotic Nigerians say they now understand INEC, others insist it is a plot for one-party state. Femi Falana, Gani Adams suggest the courts are being manipulated to set up a one-party state. See opinions from Peter Obi, Keyamo and others in screenshots.

WOW: Eagle Ed Martin tells Alex Marlow one of the reasons Senator Thom Tillis opposed his nomination for U.S. Attorney for D.C. was because he wanted to compensate J6ers released after the Supreme Court found they had been improperly charged. This made Tillis a little nervous. He's like, "You're for reparations." I said, "I'm not for reparations. I am for restitution." If you put somebody in jail for years and you lied about it, you should have to pay for it, right? If you put somebody through the ringer in a way that is unfair and it's deemed unfair, you should fix it. This is America. [Peter] Strzok and [Lisa] Page got cut a sweetheart deal to get paid because their texts were shown. They got a million dollars because the Biden administration and Merrick Garland paid them off. This is the ultimate payoff for inside the mob. Well, no. We're talking about people that are truly damaged. If you're damaged, you should be made whole. That's what's at stake with weaponization, and we're going to drive all the way down to the bottom of these things. We're not going to give up. We're not going to hear "statute of limitation is run." I don't give a darn. We're going to name and shame. We're going to hold you accountable, and then we're going to say, you know what? You got put in jail—some of these people rotted in jail for three years on January 6th, on a lie that Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco made up. Andrew Weissmann created it and tried to use it in the Mueller [investigation], and then they used it—called the 1512 charge. It was done incorrectly, and a bipartisan Supreme Court threw it out. Ketanji Jackson said, "Yeah, you got to throw that out." Well, those people that were in jail, as soon as they got that done, they walked, because they were on misdemeanors only. That's so wrong and un-American. We've got to get to the bottom of it and make people whole, and we're going to do it.

It was an honor to represent the Vice President of Nigeria, HE Senator Kashim Shettima Kashim Shettima, GCON, at the 3rd National Health Summit on “𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐍𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚: 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭” in Abuja today. Organized by the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) Nigerian Medical Association under the leadership of 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐮, Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Health Sciences Azare Fuhsaofficial, the summit provided a vital platform to reflect on the progress we have made, the challenges ahead, and the partnerships driving our shared vision of a stronger, more equitable healthcare system for all Nigerians. While our healthcare system has demonstrated strengths, critical gaps remain. Maternal mortality and outbreaks like diphtheria highlight inequities in care and vaccination coverage, while affordability continues to be a major barrier for many Nigerians. Public perception surveys show growing confidence in the sector, a testament to ongoing reforms, yet hurdles such as fragmented governance, uneven healthcare worker distribution, and financing constraints still hinder the system’s full potential. Under the visionary leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the bold reforms we have initiated are actively addressing these issues. Through the Nigeria Health Sector Renewal Investment Initiative (#NHSRII), over 1,000 primary healthcare centers now receive direct funding through the revitalized Basic Health Care Provision Fund #BHCPF2.0, ensuring resources reach facilities and communities most in need. Emergency obstetric care has been expanded, with 30 hospitals offering prequalified emergency obstetrics services, including free cesarean sections and fistula repair surgeries, breaking down financial barriers that too often lead to preventable tragedies. We are advancing infrastructure development at an unprecedented pace. Six cancer centers and eight diagnostic facilities are under construction, with three set to open by May 2025. Solarization of critical hospital units and the installation of oxygen plants in 44 tertiary hospitals are further strengthening care delivery. To address human resource shortages, training quotas for medical professionals have doubled, and 43,000 frontline health workers have already been retrained, advancing toward the target of 120,000 by 2027. The Health Workforce Migration Policy is improving working conditions to ensure the retention and better distribution of healthcare professionals. Our governance reforms are fostering greater alignment and accountability, while the historic Compact signed with all 36 governors Nigeria Governors' Forum, the FCT Minister Official FCTA, and development partners exemplifies a unified commitment to shared priorities. This collaboration has enabled the mobilization of over $1 billion through the Presidential Initiative to Unlock the Healthcare Value Chain PVAC, boosting local production of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies, reducing reliance on imports, and creating jobs. The partnership with NMA leadership and our development partners has been pivotal to these successes. Their dedication and collaborative spirit reflect the unity of purpose necessary to achieve sustainable progress in healthcare delivery. These achievements, driven by President Tinubu’s leadership, underscore our collective resolve to save lives, reduce suffering, and ensure equitable access to quality care for all Nigerians. While challenges remain, the progress made within just one year is a powerful demonstration of what is possible when well-crafted policies are paired with decisive action. Together, we are building a resilient healthcare system that will stand as a cornerstone of national development for generations to come.

“You can’t yell fire in a crowded theater!” How many times have you heard advocates of censorship say that? Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz repeated it last night in his debate with Republican vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance. In so doing, Walz spread misinformation. It’s not illegal to yell fire in a crowded theater. That’s a myth. The expression refers to a 1919 Supreme Court opinion superseded by the 1969 Brandenberg v. Ohio decision. Tim Walz had previously claimed that spreading misinformation about elections was illegal. It’s not. How could it be? If the government censored disfavored views on elections, how would we ever know if our elections were truly free and fair? I debunked Walz’s claim on X last night, and it’s happily now been viewed over 10 million times. As satisfying as that is, it’s still not enough. If Walz and Harris get elected, they may attempt to ramp up the censorship we have been documenting and denouncing. As such, all of us who care about freedom of speech must push ourselves to find ways to persuade our fellow citizens of the benefits of free speech over censorship. Now, you might not feel like making the case for free speech personally to friends and family, and you certainly don’t need to. But many people have emailed me over the last three years expressing dismay at how many Democrats they know are in favor of free speech. I share their dismay. Support among Democrats for government censorship of online misinformation grew from 40% to 70% between 2018 and 2023. It was shocking to testify before Congress on free speech issues last year only to discover how many Democrats wanted more censorship. And so I made this video for people looking for a way to talk to friends and family about censorship, one of the greatest threats to our democracy. After working on free speech issues three years ago, I realized that I had taken my support for free speech for granted. I had forgotten that my parents and others had taught me the importance of free speech. It wasn’t something that came naturally. I still remember when my father explained to me why the Supreme Court let Nazis march through a neighborhood of Holocaust survivors. I remember being shocked by this and thinking such a thing lacked compassion. Only gradually, over several years, I saw the wisdom of free speech, not simply in allowing fundamental human expression but also as the best response to lies and hatred. That raises a few questions: Will the same approach that worked with me work with people today? Who needs to be persuaded, exactly? And what appears to move them? Over the last few years my colleagues and I have read through the public opinion research, interviewed, and spoken with hundreds of people in the West. One significant finding is that the people in favor of censorship today tend to be more female than male and more on the political Left than Right. And I’m happy to say that I finally feel confident in explaining what moves them to favor free speech and more opposed to censorship. The research on support for free speech is mixed. Initially, older adults were more inclined to favor restrictions, but polling by the Pew Research Center shows that this gap has closed. Similarly, a 2022 Knight Foundation survey indicated that younger people, while valuing free speech highly, have become more supportive of limiting online harmful content. However, a recent 2024 survey of Australians found that younger people were more supportive of free speech and against censorship than older people. The main reason women and people on the left are more supportive of censorship appears to be to reduce harm. This is consistent with the research by psychologists Jonathan Haidt and others that where conservatives tend to hold a broader set of traditional values, progressives have reduced the number of core values they hold strongly to just one: compassion. Earlier research found people on the Left also hold the value of freedom, but it is notably selective, as rising Democratic support for censorship shows. “Women are more supportive of illegalizing insults of immigrants, homosexualindividuals, transgender individuals, the police, African Americans, Hispanics, Muslims, Jewish people, and Christians, and are more supportive of banning sexually explicit public statements and flag burning,” noted psychologist Cory Clark in Psychology Today in 2021. “One likely reason for this pattern is that women are more averse to interpersonal harm and have a relatively stronger concern for protecting others.” So, to move people to support free speech, we should first appeal to compassion since it’s the core value of Democrats, progressives, liberals, and people on the Left today. After you anchor people in compassion, you can make the intellectual case for why free speech is more compassionate than censorship. This approach is also critical to avoid triggering cognitive dissonance, which is the discomfort individuals feel when they realize they hold contradictory beliefs or are confronted with information that challenges their existing views. If people feel attacked or cornered, they often respond by doubling down on their beliefs to reduce this discomfort, a phenomenon known as "motivated reasoning" or "defensive processing." Avoiding accusatory language, empathetic listening, and framing the conversation around shared values can prevent defensive responses and encourage reflection. “If you must present evidence threatening to the audience’s worldview,” wrote a team of psychologists in 2016, “you may be able to reduce the worldview backfire effect by presenting your content in a worldview-affirming manner.” Readers of Public may recall what I discovered when interviewing people on the streets of Dublin, Ireland, about free speech. Simply slowing people down and forcing them to engage in “slow thinking” rather than “fast thinking” made them more receptive to free speech arguments. Slowing people down allows them to relax, remember the past, and imagine potential futures. And simply asking questions demonstrates respect and triggers a feeling of obligation by most people to offer truthful answers. How you approach the topic will depend on whether you’re talking with a friend or relative or moderating a presidential debate, but it should include affirming shared values. You might say, “There’s been a lot of debate about censorship and misinformation. Most of us, myself included, care a lot about protecting vulnerable people and countering bad information while protecting people’s right to free speech. I’m curious how you think about these issues, and I wondered if I could ask you how you think about them.” Assuming you get permission to go further, here are the three key questions I would recommend... Please subscribe now to support free speech, read the rest of the article, and watch the rest of the video!

Would you like to save $50,000 on your taxes and drive a G Wagon? Let me tell you about Section 179. It’s not a free lunch, but it’s an interesting idea for small business owners. Here’s how it works and why I think it’s a terrible idea. — Section 179 lets you deduct the entire cost of a vehicle from your taxes as long as it weighs over 6,000 lbs. So, again, it’s not a free car — you’re deducting the cost of the car from how much you earned and therefore paying less tax. But here’s the catch: it has to be used exclusively for your business. The upside is lower taxes. This could be big money—I was looking at a G-Wagon listing just before recording, and some of them are $200,000. Let’s say you’re in a 25% tax bracket; that’s $50,000 in tax savings. “But you’re still $150,000 in the hole!” you say. That’s why people finance the purchase. Let’s say you put only $25K or $50K down and then sign a note for the rest. As I understand it (and I’m not a CPA, so please correct me if I’m wrong!),, you still get to write off the truck's entire value. — Now here are three reasons why you shouldn’t do this. 1. You don’t get to claim depreciation forever. Suppose you drive around for a couple of years, depreciate the value by half, and sell for $100,000. Because you already wrote off the whole value, $100K is considered profit, and you get taxed on it. 2. You have a $200,000 truck to worry about. It’ll cost more than my $15,000 Subaru to repair when that thing breaks down. If you care about saving $50k on taxes this much, you shouldn’t be driving a dumbass $200k SUV. 3. You look like a dork. (Depending on your definition of cool.) What kind of message does a stupid luxury vehicle send to the other people at your company? Why should they try to keep expenses down? — Look, if you want to do this stuff, go for it. Just understand what you’re getting into — and talk to a CPA before you do.

BREAKING: POLICE CALLED TO REMOVE ENOCH BURKE’S FAMILY FROM CHURCH EVENT Free Presbyterian Church leaders fled from questions at the opening of a new Bible College in Tandragee, Co. Armagh on Friday. The current Moderator Rev. Ian Brown has been exposed as a fervent supporter of a pro sodomy, ultra Catholic organisation in America. When Martina Burke and Josiah Burke arrived in the foyer of Tandragee Free Presbyterian Church they were blocked by five men and asked to leave. The Burkes asked to speak to Rev. Ian Brown and Rev. John Greer following the service. Both men were taking part in the Bible College opening. When Rev. John Gray, the Minister of Tandragee Free Presbyterian Church saw the Burkes arrive, he immediately rushed down the aisle and ordered church elders to refuse them entry. The Burkes waited quietly in the church lobby. As the closing hymn was sung, several churchmen tried to force the Burkes out of the church with the Burkes ending up on the ground. Martina Burke continued to ask to speak to Ian Brown or John Greer, Moderator and Clerk of the Presbytery. After about 30 minutes, four PSNI police officers arrived on the scene. Outside the church, the Burkes explained the situation to the PSNI. One police officer volunteered to ask Rev. John Greer to speak with the Burkes. She returned about 10 minutes later to say that Mr Greer had left the premises. The question needs to be asked: Why are these ministers so fearful of questions? Why are they hiding when the Burkes arrive? Why are they running when asked about their beliefs? They are running because the opening of this new Bible College is a farce. The leaders of the Free Presbyterian Church have utterly departed from the beliefs upon which that church was founded 75 years ago. Rev. Ian Brown recently exalted and eulogised Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated in the United States on 10 September 2025. Charlie Kirk was the founder of Turning Point USA, a political and religious organisation which brings together students from different religions and backgrounds. TPUSA Faith, a spin-off organisation, exists “to unite the church.” The majority of confirmed speakers at a recent TPUSA tour were Mormons and Catholics. Charlie Kirk platformed LGBT speakers at Turning Point events and supported their full inclusion in the “conservative movement.” Mr Kirk was also influential in drawing countless young people into the Roman Catholic Church. He led many to the worship of Mary and promoted the praying of the rosary and praying to saints. Kirk wore a medal of St Michael, a Catholic symbol. Charlie Kirk’s best friend and show producer Andrew Kolvet spoke recently of Kirk’s love for the “ritual and ancient feel” of the Catholic Eucharist (which he attended with his wife Erika, a practising Catholic). All Free Presbyterian ministers make a vow before Almighty God at their ordination to “maintain with all the strength God shall give [me] the position on Biblical separation from apostasy.” They vow to “expose and resist apostasy” and to “defend the doctrine of Christ against all error.” On 14 September 2025 Ian Brown dedicated a full sermon to the subject of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. In that sermon he lauded Charlie Kirk as a “fantastic apologist” and drew parallels between his assassination and the martyrdom of Stephen. Mr Brown gave special recognition to the work of TPUSA, rejoicing at the success of the organisation. Numerous ministers of the Free Presbyterian Church paid similar tributes, including Stephen Greer, Marcus Lecky, Roger Higginson, David Park, Joshua Moffat, Garth Wilson and Samuel Murray. Rev. Stephen Greer, the son of Rev. John Greer (Clerk of the Presbytery of the Free Presbyterian Church) said that when Charlie Kirk died he was “immediately received into glory.” In the video above Stephen Greer can be seen laughing and mocking the Burkes during the event on Friday. Rev. Marcus Lecky of Cookstown Free Presbyterian Church referred to Kirk as a “Christian martyr.” Mr Lecky placed Kirk on the same level as Stephen, Antipas, Jan Hus and William Tyndale, and declared that “like them, Charlie Kirk is gone to his throne in heaven.” Free Presbyterian ministers also make an ordination vow “to oppose and expose the immorality and social vices of this present evil world, including dancing, drinking and gambling.” These vows are often administered by the Clerk of the Presbytery, Rev. John Greer. Rev. John Greer knows full well, however, that the Free Presbyterian Church has been on the dance floor for years. Embrace Socials, an entertainment organisation led by a Free Presbyterian, runs a lucrative business drawing young people from all denominations, including Free Presbyterians, together on the dance floor. Last October, Embrace Socials held an event called “Hooley on the Hill” in Stormont Parliament. The event was advertised as “an unforgettable evening of food, music and dancing” with all proceeds going to the Christian Institute. Callum Webster, Northern Ireland Officer for the Christian Institute, spoke at the event. As previously reported, in April 2025, this same Mr Webster shared a platform with Laoise de Brún, a self-described “passionate advocate for LGB (lesbian, gay & bisexual) rights.” Callum Webster of the Christian Institute is a close friend of Rev. Ian Brown and has spoken at his church in Belfast multiple times. Elderly Free Presbyterians - unaware of the true nature of the Christian Institute - have bequeathed large financial offerings and legacies to Callum Webster and his organisation for many years. Rev. Ian Brown and Rev. John Greer recently shared a platform with Callum Webster at an event in Martyrs Memorial Free Presbyterian Church. At that event Ian Brown announced that “everything lifted” in the offering would go to the Christian Institute as “our way of supporting them and showing to Mr Webster that we are in agreement with the stand that they are taking”. Far from “maintaining Biblical separation” and “defending the doctrine of Christ against all error” as they have vowed, Free Presbyterian ministers are actively leading their congregations into gross confusion and compromise. Ian Brown and John Greer are openly and clearly endorsing that which they vowed before Almighty God to oppose. It is time for all who love the truth to come out from the Free Presbyterian Church. We urge all those who love the truth, the purity of the Word of God and the separated stand of His Church to come out from under these wolves in sheep’s clothing who remain silent as the next generation is sodomised in our schools. It is time for God’s people to once again take a stand and “earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3) We now live in a day when the three branches of government - legislative, executive and judicial - are working together to promote sodomy and LGBT+ ideology. In a recent High Court ruling delivered by Judge Brian Cregan he said that, as Christians, the Burke family are not above the courts. The Burkes are indeed law-abiding citizens but as the Apostle Peter said in Acts 5:29 when the law conflicts with Christian truth “we ought to obey God rather than men.” When the law of man is in conflict with the law of God - then, for the true Christian, God’s law must take precedence. God’s Word is very clear on LGBT. That is the reason why Enoch Burke has now spent over 600 days in prison.

Mt. Kenya people “The slogan ‘one man, one shilling, one vote,’ championed by some leaders, is a fundamentally flawed stance that underscores a deep-seated greed which seems insatiable. Representing 17.13% of Kenya’s population, the Kikuyu are the largest of the 44 tribes, yet they have historically received a disproportionate share of national resources under three presidents from the Mt. Kenya region: Jomo Kenyatta, Mwai Kibaki, and Uhuru Kenyatta. This disparity seems to have cultivated a misguided belief among some Mt. Kenya leaders that they are the rightful owners of Kenya, with the remaining 43 tribes merely guests. Current Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua exemplifies this confusion more than any other. As the nation’s second-in-command, he should embody the hopes and responsibilities of the entire country, not just one region. Yet, his recent statements and advocacy for the ‘one-man, one-shilling, one-vote’ policy suggest he views himself more as a local MP than as a national leader. This misrepresentation is detrimental to his role and could undermine his effectiveness as Deputy President. Despite having numerous government positions including the Deputy President, nine Cabinet members, and various other key roles in the National Assembly and Senate, the Mt. Kenya region continues to receive the lion’s share of government appointments and resources. This over-representation has facilitated an environment where they can lobby for skewed development allocations, in favour of Mt Kenya region rather than being loud about it. To provide accurate context on the influence of the Kikuyu community, it’s crucial to consider their voter demographics and turnout trends. There are approximately 5 million registered Kikuyu voters, with significant populations in counties like Kiambu, where they number around 1,293,309 (over 85% of voters), Murang’a with 628,416 (over 90%), and Nyeri with 492,046 (over 90%). However, historical trends indicate an average voter turnout of 60% to 70%. This means the actual voting bloc of the Kikuyu in elections is closer to 3.5 million, challenging the narrative of an overwhelming majority and highlighting the necessity for coalition-building. The Limuru 3 meeting, convened by some Kikuyu leaders, seems poised to further expose their self-serving intentions, potentially prompting the other 43 tribes to form a coalition against such overt self-interest. The inflated claims of having 9 million votes, as asserted by Jeremiah Kioni, are countered by these voter turnout figures, emphasizing the need for Kikuyu intellectuals to revisit their strategies. Their influence is not as absolute as they presume and can only be sustained through genuine partnerships. President William Ruto, known for his astute political strategy, has already navigated past challenges posed by the Kikuyu elite, including a significant defeat of Uhuru Kenyatta in his own backyard. The Kikuyu community must recognize that they need President Ruto more than he needs them and should focus on building strategic alliances based on mutual respect and truth, rather than threats and false claims of supremacy. Mr. Rigathi Gachagua needs to understand that Kenya is defined by its people and its geographical boundaries equally. The leaders from Mt. Kenya might boast about their population, but the ASAL regions comprise over 80% of the land mass in Kenya , and resource allocation should consider both factors. If the leaders from Mt. Kenya are discontent, they are free to seek changes through mechanisms like a referendum. This is not the 1960s; resource allocation patterns cannot be dictated to cause suffering to the ASALs through deliberate denial by successive regimes. Today, the constitution reigns supreme, and all regions must engage in moderated, sober discussions to address our challenges collectively. No single tribe can effect change alone; we must work together in the spirit of compromise and accommodation. UDM PARTY LEADER.
