Henceforth June 12th will be celebrated as Democracy day, President Muhammad Buhari

By

The President said the  democracy day annual celebration will now hold on June 12, arguing that June 12, 1993, the date of the election popularly adjudged to be the freest and fairest in Nigeria’s history.

The president also said  the award of posthumously the highest honor of the land GCFR, to the late Chief MKO abiola,  his running mate as Vise President Abassardo Baba Gana Kingibe and the late Chief Gani Fawahinmi SAN human right fighter.

was far more symbolic of democracy in the Nigerian context than May 29 or even October 1”.

“For the past 18 years, Nigerians have been celebrating May 29th as Democracy Day.

That was the date when, for the second time in our history, an elected civilian administration took over from a military government.

The first time this happened was on October 21st, 1979.

But in the view of Nigerians, as shared by this administration, June 12th, 1993, was far more symbolic of Democracy in the Nigerian context than May 29th or even October 1st.

June 12th, 1993 was the day when Nigerians in millions expressed their democratic will in what was undisputedly the freest, fairest and most peaceful elections since our independence.

The fact that the outcome of that election was not upheld by the military Government does not distract from the democratic credentials of that process.

Accordingly, after due consultations, the Federal Government has decided that henceforth, June 12th will be celebrated as Democracy Day.

Therefore, Government has decided to award posthumously the highest honour of the land GCFR, to the late Chief MKO Abiola, the presumed winner of the June 12th 1993 cancelled elections.

His running mate as Vice President, Ambassador Baba Gana Kingibe, is also to be invested with a GCON.

Furthermore, the tireless fighter for human rights and the actualization of the June 12th elections and indeed for Democracy in general, the late Chief Gani Fawehinmi SAN is to be awarded posthumously a GCON.

The Commemoration and investiture will take place on Tuesday June 12th, 2018, a date which in future years will replace May 29th as the National Public Holiday in celebration of Nigeria Democracy Day.”

  In an interview with Nigeria Tribune, Reverend Gabriel Beni Omoge, who is one of the factional leader of the Church has revealed why he was ordained as one of the head of all Pastors of the Church despite not being close to the late Pastor and Supreme Head, Reverend Maforikan. While speaking with the Newspaper, Omoge likened how he found his way into Celestial Church like that of a spectator, saying he visited the Church for the first time in 1977 on the invitation of his elder brother. "My elder brother invited me to CCC Ikeja Parish 2, Lagos in 1977 putting on white robes without shoes, not knowing what God had in stock for me" he narrated.  At the parish, he was prophesied to, that he has been ordained a prophet of God, but he never believed not until in 1978, when he began to prophesy during a revival service in Ondo State. Omoge described how he found his way as the head of the Church, as the work of God, stating that he was not close to his predece

Flash Back,Stop Using UN - CELESTIAL CHOIR CAPES, by Alagba Michael Folorunsho

By

The CELESTIAL CHURCH of CHRIST choir cape is not a fashion statement piece of garment. It is a wisdom of heaven revealed to us in this last day. The choir cape has just simple colors BLUE AND YELLOW. Blue as we know in celestial means SPIRIT. REVELATION Yellow means HEALING. Even though the kind of material for sowing choir capes is not specified, it is wrong and a spiritual accident to use a material which is altered in design or embroidered. The alter in design removes the simplicity and humility the Cape is supposed to reflect. It is not meant to have embroidery or designs. It is only the pastor, who is also the high priest's garment that has been the grace and authority of embroidery. The only other Clothe that should have embroidery is the altar Clothe which reflects the magnificence of God. The material for either sutana, especially  choir cape should not a SEE THROUGH as seen in this picture. It is meant to be plain material which covers. The wings of the Serap

Celestial Church Of Christ @ Seventy (70th), A Period For Celebration Or A Moment To Think?, Of What Is Happening In The Church, And How To Make Amendment!

CELESTIAL CHURCH OF CHRIST AT 70th! A PERIOD FOR CELEBRATION OR A MOMENT TO THINK? Ask an average Nigerian what he or she feels about CCC members and you would not be taken aback at the negative feedback you would get from them.  A blogger once asked a question “Why do most Nigerian guys avoid dating or marrying ladies from white garment churches especially from CCC?”, as expected the response was filled with shades, banters and tantrums, such that I began to literally shed tears when I was reading through them, and it is so pathetic that our administrators are probably less concerned about the image of this church. Fellow members, our image is bad, I mean very bad in the light of the way other Christians, Muslims and non-believers see us and we seem not to be bothered about it. Ask anybody to describe a CCC male member, the response, “They are alcoholics”, about our female, “they are fetish in their relationship and fornicate with reckless abandon”, about our
