N22,092 Screenshot: A Bank Alert Is Not A Payroll- By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

N22,092 Screenshot: A Bank Alert Is Not A Payroll- By Pastor Prof Chukwuemeka Ifegwu Eke

₦22,092 SCREENSHOT: A BANK ALERT IS NOT A PAYROLL The viral screenshot showing a credit alert of ₦22,092 is being circulated as proof that the Abia State Government pays sanitation workers only ₦22,000 monthly. That conclusion is misleading. A bank alert only proves that a particular account received ₦22,092 on a particular date. It does not show the beneficiary’s employment status, number of days worked, contractual terms, deductions, allowances, other payments received or total monthly earnings. One isolated transaction cannot establish the remuneration structure of an entire workforce. The narration on the alert refers to ABPA/FIP. That does not automatically…

The Nation Of Christianity In Nigeria  Must Rise In Challenge Of Islamic Extremism – By Dr. Engr Odo Ijere (Okpotemba)

The Nation Of Christianity In Nigeria Must Rise In Challenge Of Islamic Extremism – By Dr. Engr Odo Ijere (Okpotemba)

THE NATION OF CHRISTIANITY IN NIGERIA MUST RISE IN CHALLENGE OF ISLAMIC EXTREMISM. Nothing is more challenging to the Christian faith in Nigeria today than the audacity of the Muslim Muslim ticket being adopted by Tinubu and the APC as their strategy of winning the 2027 election. If the Muslim Muslim was an aberration and mistake of history in 2023 elections, it comes off today as an affront, dangerously insensitive, divisive, intolerant and therefore unconstitutional in so far as its inconsistency with our corporate existence as a nation. In a nation with the Christian community not less than a hundred…
