SCHOOLS RESUMING IN NIGERIA

-


Schools in Nigeria have been closed for over two months as a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. This has kept many including parents, students and educators in anticipation of the reopening of the institutions of learning in the country. 

In the press briefing held at Abuja the nation's capital on Wednesday 27th May, 2020, the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 cleared the rumour in circulation that schools would be reopened on June 8th off the air. The minister of state for education - Mr. Emeka Nwajiuba while addressing news men asked Nigerians to disregard such rumour and put their minds to rest.

The minister also said the PTF had not announced any date for the reopening of schools across the country.
“Until we are sure that our children can go to school and return safely without taking Covid-19 home, we are not ready to take the risk of opening schools,” he said.
He stressed the Federal Government will rely on the opinion of experts and the guidance of the World Health Organization (WHO) before announcing any school resumption dates.

Therefore, parents, educators, students and others whose means of livelihood depend on the reopening of schools would have to exercise a little patience and trust God for all things to be well.

WHY THE COMPETITION?

  Why competing with others? There’s competition everywhere; in families, in schools, in offices, among friends, also in the church. God didn’t create us to compete with ourselves. We all have different assignment on this planet earth, so why competing? Let me start with music ministers. A music minister that still engages in competition with colleagues in the same ministry does not know what he/she is doing. For you to be competing means you are not sure of your ministry, you don’t know what your ministry carries. You don’t have faith in that work committed in your hands. The reason why so many music ministers, pastors, prophets fail in their calling and assignment is because they are not sure of their ministry, they don’t know were God has called them to occupy. They just want to carry the title of a pastor, prophet, music minister, HOD, Apostle, Bishop etc. They forget that there’s a task and assignment assigned to all ministry. Generally in our society, the reason people engage...

FOLLOWERSHIP

WHY ARE THEY FOLLOWING YOU? Do you really know why some people follow you or look up to you? Some people follow you because of the riches you possess while others follow you because of the God you carry. Some will want to be your friend because you have connections to big places in form of companies and the likes.  Do you know why many people followed Jesus from the start but only few of them followed him to the place of his crucifixion? Some left him because he was not rich with material things. Many left him because he said the truth. There were those who left him because they felt he was using them and also those who left him because their negative mind and disobedient spirit with the worldly wisdom they carried while following him was not yielding any result in their lives. They forgot that negative and positive mindset can't work together.  So many men of God have failed in our present times because people only follow them because of the riches they possess and they forge...

DIGNITY

DIGNITY IS A GREAT VIRTUE  Dignity is the state or quality of being worthy of honour or respect.   The only way we can secure our dignity is by not being lazy with our work. A lazy person will loose his/her dignity. A lazy pastor/ prophet will loose his/ her dignity if he/ she refuses to work. A pastor that refuse to study the bible, pray or do spiritual activities will end up loosing his/ her dignity.  They are the types that go from house to house of their church members, eating different kinds of food. Tell me how the church members will respect such a pastor. A full time pastor finding it hard to study the bible, to pray, and be creative with the things of God and develop self in all ramification but only wait for church members to bring offering and tithe before having something to eat or take care of the family will end up loosing his/her dignity.  I have observed that nobody wants to operate in these offices anymore; Pastor  Evangelist  Teacher Every...
