The other side of APOSTLE SULAIMAN

He committed a faux pas in respect of his glib remarks of third jet during the pandemic and he was justifiably lampooned by the society, even though he apologized for that slip.
In a society pummeled by ravaging poverty, coupled with the cynical and negative perception a number of people view pastors, the angst of many was justified.
However, in my life, l always try to look at the positive sides of life. Apostle Sulaiman is someone l have always admired from a distance. I have never met him but l follow his activities.

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has secured commitment from Dangote company for compensations for the students of Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba Akoko (AAUA), Ondo State, killed during a road mishap.
Six students of the university and nine others were killed on January 23, 2021, when a truck belonging to Dangote Group rammed into a shopping complex in Akungba Akoko.
Shortly after that incident, the National President of NANS, Com. Sunday Asefon had promised to seek justice for the victims, assuring that their deaths would not be in vain.
Asefon in a statement entitled: “Our Colleagues Must Get Justice”, in Ado Ekiti, on Saturday, said the compensation pact was reached with Dangote group after a meeting with the management of the conglomerate, on Thursday.
Again, the herders-farmers crisis in the country is on the front burner. The recent disturbance of public peace in Oyo and Ondo states in the Southwest geo-political zone with reports of arson and alleged killings are indications that the present administration, like its predecessors, has not found solutions to the age-long problem yet. The reactions that have trailed the development also proved that the government still has a lot of work to do if it hopes to permanently put the problem behind Nigerians.
Nonetheless, cattle rearing is a long-standing practice in the country. The herders practiced open grazing at the outset and co-existed peacefully with farmers, as there were adequate grazing fields for herders and land for farmers. To cement that cohabitation, the Federal Government established grazing routes and reserves to protect grazing lands from crop farming and provide easier access for pastoralists to grazing land through the enactment of the Grazing Reserve Act of 1964.
