Phd. Umar Ardo  The Axiom Restated Jesus of Nazareth, in the Sermon on the Mount, delivers one of history's most devastating political theorems: "Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Therefore by their fruits thou shall know them." (Matthew 7:17–20, NKJV)  2. This is not mere moralistic poetry. It is a claim about ontological continuity - the insistence that essence precedes and determines expression, that being conditions doing, that the architecture of a thing's origin constitutes the DNA of its destiny.

Jacob Handibe Unlike its shadowy forefather, the Middle Belt Forum, will the so call novel elitist contraption known as Gongola Peoples Forum survives the test of time? As a northern christian minority, I will vociferously say no. And I'm making this confession with all sense of responsibility to speak nothing but the truth no matter whose ox is gored because I know only the truth will set us free. My reason for this candid submission is based on the fact that it will be illusional for me to believe that a castle can be built in the air or more succinctly to believe that anything good can come out of an endeavor that is firmly rooted in blackmail, half truths and cheap lies. This renewed move has confirmed to me that our so called Christian minority brothers are still not tutored enough to understand the rudiments, nuances and demands of the contemporary world as no one ensconced in the toga o...
