Diary of a Corper 19

22nd May-18th Day on Camp

The weather of Plateau state is unique among other states, but i will say the weather is very strange(...someone even said confused). The weather changes very often. If the sun is shinning brightly now, it can change into a storm in less than a minutes. The rain comes as if it is hiding behind the mountains. It is always unannounced. To worsen the case, the camp is surrounded by mountains which makes the camp vulnerable to very cold winds of the mountains.

We were punished during morning parade again because we were murmuring when the camp commandant wanted to speak.

There are two categories of soldiers on camp. The platoon instructors(...they hold fat sticks) and security officers(...they are always with their guns).

The commandant told us that some cult members on camp are planning to attack themselves. He said "I am ready to kill anyone who threathens another person's life and if you don't believe me, i will clear your doubt"

"I will clear your doubt" or "Are you doubting" is a common language among soldiers(...i attended a para-military secondary school). They use it when their subject is not obeying their words.

Many attimes, the Holy Spirit makes the same statement about us when we don't believe His words.

John  6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?  6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Cultural Night took place today. Several languages were spoken(...there were 3 different languages alone from Plateau State). After which the platoons exhibited a culture(...my platoon exhibited Edo culture).

As much as we cherish our cultures, we must know that their is no culture that perfectly align with the scriptures. So, we must seive our beliefs through the Word of God. I preach the culture of Christ.

Several tribes were on display today and everyone identified with one(...i identified with Oyo. Oyo and Imo had the loudest applaud). Do you know that there are 12 tribes in Israel and we all belong to at least one?

NCCF had family meeting today. Altogether, i have 14 new books.

Can You See Islam Imploding?

Islam has taken a major stage in the world today, with many western nations trying to find their feet in the face of millions of immigrants from Islamic nations. Several European countries are losing their own culture as the Islamic wave is taking over their lands already. While in Africa, nations are embroiled in Islam related conflicts that is claiming lives in millions. In many places, Muslims have become citizens and are beginning to contest for political offices. The current mayor of London is a Muslim. Same with the current mayor of New York. Scotland already had a Muslim PM. You see, there is no issue with a Muslim becoming a political leader other than the fact that true Muslims are territorial; their religion teaches them that the religion of the ruler is the religion of the land. Is this Islamophobia? Wait. What is Islamophobia? Why should anyone be Islamophobic? Is it because terrorists are Muslims? Or because Muslims threaten to slaughter anyone who slanders their religion?...

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty.  It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Seven Years In Christ- Friends

After an official meeting with executives of tacsfonOAU When I resumed for the second year in college, I saw a result of the previous year and it was 39%. I couldn't believe what I saw because it was definitely not commensurate with my efforts. I wept quite bitterly and promised God that He wouldn't see me around any of His assignments again. I just joined a subgroup in my fellowship and I expected that my results will be better because of the several testimonies that I have heard from people. As I was weeping, God directed three friends to visit the spot where I was weeping. It was a miracle that I wouldn't forget. They consoled me and encouraged me to take a step of checking the result with the coordinator of the course. Eventually, my result was changed to 62%. This is one of the many times that the Lord has used brothers and sisters around me to stabilize me and keep me in line with His purpose. The role they have played in my last 7 years cannot be written in ...
