People often ask "why do you love God?" and yet the answer is simple and clear. I love God because He is God: the creator of all that is, the master of the universe and the source of all power and life. He holds the world together by the power of His word. He is high and lifted up and He alone is worthy of our praise. I love Him because He became a curse just for me.

The bitterness and hatred with which Owei Lakemfa wrote his piece (titled “Fani-Kayode: Tales His Father Told Him,” The Vanguard Newspaper, Nov 25th 2009) about Chief Femi Fani- Kayode and his late and highly respected father, the Balogun of Ife, Chief R.A Fani- Kayode Q.C., S.A.N, C.O.N clearly reveals the fact that he cannot be regarded as an impartial columnist who seeks to establish the truth but rather he can be seen more in the light of a subjective and venom- filled commentator who is on a hatchet job for unseen forces.

Born 16 days after Nigeria’s independence to Chief Remilekun Adetokunbo Fani-Kayode and Mrs. Adia Adunni Fani-Kayode, also a chief, Femi Fani-Kayode means different things to different people.…
Truth is constant and cannot be suppressed for long. It may be held down and pinned under the waters by a forceful and ruthless hand for sometime but it can never be forever.
The greatest asset that God has given us as human beings is the gift of free will and yet the exercise of this beautiful gift represents the very weakness of our being.
However you may feel today, whether happy or sad or whether hopeful or fearful, always remember this: that our future and fate as a nation will not be determined by anyone, any group of people or any government. It will not be eclipsed, marred, moulded or forged in the darkness of deceit or in the tunnels of misfortune, bitterness and trauma. Evil and heartless men shall not have their way forever in our country for though our night may be dark and seemingly endless, the beautiful rays of the bright morning sun shall one day surely come and with it bring light, comfort, joy and peace everlasting. Our ship of state shall one day be steered not by cruel, unfeeling and insensitive hearts but by the God of Heaven and by He alone.
You are all wonderful and courageous people and the most important thing u can do for me now is to pray concerning this matter. There is nothing that God cannot do. We shall take the land and dedicate it to Him.Do not be moved by the threats and rantings of the enemy or circumstances that seem insurmountable or impossible because that is where God begins.
Power and greatness are fought for and won. They are not given but rather they are taken. And a real man must resolve in his heart that he will either be great or he must die trying.
You speak tenderly and tender you are.
Tender is your skin and your body.
Tender are your ways and your words. Tender is your touch.
Tender is your beauty and…
The word of God is immutable and unassailable and He is faithful to keep it to the very end. If I know nothing else, this I know to be true. I know that scripture cannot be broken and that whether we live or die tomorrow is in the hands of God alone. I also know that injustice and deceit can never last and that persecution only fuels dissent. There comes a time in the life of a man when he must be a man and stand up and speak the truth, even where others are too timid and intimidated to do so.
Blessed be the name of the most High God, the God whose I am and the God whom I serve. Blessed be His holy name forever. His name is Jehova Shalom, Jehova Nissi, Jehova Jireh and Jehova Sharma. The heavens are His throne and the earth is His footstool: none can resist Him. The nations of the earth and their princes are as a drop in the ocean before Him. He created all that is and knows the end even before the beginning.
They say that the only people that can really hurt you are those that you love. It therefore follows that the most important thing for anyone to do is to guard his or her heart and emotions with vigour and with wisdom. For once love is truly given, especially when it is given freely and quickly, and once emotions are deeply stirred and hearts touched at the mere whisper of a tongue, it is very rarely reciprocated or appreciated. More often than not unmerited love and unwarranted favour is treated with utter contempt and secret disdain. It is abused, scorned, taken for granted, taken advantage of, wounded, despised, betrayed, used and eventually rejected and dumped. Yet when love is truly appreciated and properly returned, it is the most precious and powerful gift in the entire universe.
