Sowore and #takeitback movement celebrate acknowledgement of June 12th as Democracy day

By
The #takeitback movement and the convener, Omoyele Sowore aspirant for 2019 presidential election has come out to express their feelings for the heroes like MKO ABIOLA and others that fought and died for their fathers land.

SOWORE AND TAKEITBACK MOVEMENT CELEBRATE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF JUNE 12 AS DEMOCRACY DAY, DECLARE THAT NATIONAL MONUMENT TO HEROES LIKE ABIOLA AND GANI WILL BE ESTABLISHED AND CALL FOR THOSE WHO ANNULLED THE ELECTION TO BE STRIPPED OF NATIONAL AWARDS

We celebrate the acknowledgement by the Buhari government that June 12, 1993 marked an epochal moment in Nigeria’s democracy as the date when Nigerians expressed their democratic will in the freest and fairest elections ever conducted in our nation.

The importance of June 12th cannot be overemphasised: a date that is imprinted in the mind of every Nigerian; the date democracy triumphed for a golden, magnificent moment only to be snuffed out by self-serving usurpers.

Our movement and its leader, Omoyele Sowore, have consistently called for the establishment of June 12, 1993 as Democracy day. We are glad to see that the Buhari government has finally acceded to the will of the Nigerian people.

We also welcome the posthumous recognition of two titans of the Nigerian pro-democracy movement - Chief MKO Abiola and Chief Gani Fawehinmi with the GCFR and GCON awards. These two men are heroes to whom our nation will forever be indebted.

While we celebrate the recognition of these great men, we must remember the many heroes and heroines who remain forgotten and unsung. We pledge that the government that we will lead will establish a National Monument to Heroes that will celebrate forgotten Heroes and Heroines like Pa Alfred Rewane, Alhaja Kudirat Abiola, Chima Ubani and countless others, who lost their lives in the struggle for a better Nigeria.

By acknowledging that the annulment of the June 12, 1993 election was a great travesty that denied the Nigerian people of their freedom of choice, the Buhari government must take the next logical step which should be to hold the usurpers who created the crisis, accountable. Honouring the true heroes of June 12 should necessarily require that all those whose actions led to the annulment of that pivotal election should be stripped of their honours.

We will wait to see whether the Buhari government will have the courage to take the necessary steps to redress this assault to the Nigerian people by rescinding the national honours bestowed on those who annulled the June 12, 1993 election. Should they fail to show the needed courage, we make a solemn pledge to the Nigerian people that our government will redress those wrongs.

I was made the leader of Celestial Church of Christ, because Oshoffa asked Maforikan to do so - Rev Omoge, As it Reported by celestialchurchblog.com

  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
Image
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
