What Prayer Cannot Do- Bro. Williams O.V

-

    By Victor Olubiye





   Bro. Williams Oluwasegun Victor, the Student Pastor of C.A.C Oke Anu, Iree, Osun State, informed the church members at the early hours of today that there are some things Prayer cannot do, he stated that even though Jesus Christ started with prayer yet He engaged in another thing aside from prayer in His ministry.

   According to the Pastor, he said if people are facing life challenges or troubles, there is another thing they need to engage in which is "Gratitude/Praise", a heart of thanks and worship. He said "We are in a world full of trouble and pain and the only thing to scape through is to engage in Praising God, not minding the condition or circumstances that surrounds one's life". 

   There are levels you can thank God for! Thank God for where you are, if you have something you can thank God, Instead of complaining, turn your complains to Thanksgiving, the pastor said.

   Furthermore, he asked "What designer can you put on a mad man?"; the person that is dead cannot talk, though you don't have money but yet you have a phone that can receive alert!

   Pastor Williams Oluwasegun Victor concluded his sermon by admonishing the congregation to take "Praise" so serious and with their whole heart. He said "Though we are not there yet but we are not where we use to be"

They Went to School Seeking a Future. Some Never Came Home

A day after NANS observed Black Tuesday, the conversation around student safety remains far from over They left home to pursue an education. For some families, the journey ended in tragedy. By Victor Olubiye For most Nigerian parents, the day a child gains admission into a tertiary institution is a moment of pride. It is seen as the beginning of a journey toward a better future. But for some families, that journey has ended in tragedy. That painful reality was at the heart of the National Association of Nigerian Students' (NANS) declaration of July 28, 2026, as Black Tuesday—a day set aside to remember students whose lives were cut short by violence, insecurity, criminal attacks and incidents of jungle justice across the country. In a statement signed by the National Public Relations Officer of NANS, Comrade Obidah David, the student body said the initiative was intended not only to honour fallen students but also to draw attention to what many now describe as a growing threat to s...

EXCLUSIVE: For Two Hours, a Mother Became Her Daughter's Child — What Happened Next Left Her in Tears

  Symbolic depiction of a mother and her daughter during a role-reversal exercise that inspired reflections on parenting, discipline, and empathy. Photo Illustration/The Creativity Site . By Victor Olubiye When a Nigerian mother returned home from work one evening, she expected nothing more than a few quiet hours with her three-year-old daughter. Instead, she found herself being ordered around the house, told to recite multiplication tables, reminded of past punishments, and forced to see her parenting through a perspective she had never seriously considered before. "It was supposed to be a game," she told The Creativity Site. By the end of it, she was crying. The mother, who asked not to be identified, had suggested a simple role-reversal exercise. For two hours, her daughter would play the parent while she played the child. The arrangement sounded harmless enough. But children pay closer attention than many adults realize. As soon as the game started, the little girl slippe...

The Real Opposition to Tinubu Is Not Atiku or Obi—It's Something Bigger

  Three faces. Three ambitions. One nation searching for answers. As Nigeria edges toward 2027, the biggest battle may not be between politicians—but between promises and reality. By Victor Olubiye Every election season in Nigeria follows a familiar script. Politicians change parties. Alliances are announced with fanfare and quietly abandoned months later. Social media turns into a battlefield of supporters, critics, and professional propagandists. The opposition attacks the government; the government fires back. As conversations about 2027 grow louder, much of the public discussion has centred on the same names: Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi, Rabiu Kwankwaso, and a growing cast of politicians exploring new alliances. Yet beneath the noise lies a different reality. The greatest challenge to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's re-election may not come from any rival politician. It may come from the mood of the country itself. That mood cannot be negotiated with in Abuja. It cannot be persuade...

 By Victor Olubiye Unarguably, Gbenga Adeboye still remains the most known and widely accepted radio broadcaster in Yoruba lands, even in death. The legend was born into a Christian family on 30th September 1959, at Ode Omu, Gbongan, Osun State, Nigeria. In some of his narratives that serve as his authobiography he narrated how he had knowledge of both Islamic and Traditional religions. And this is evident in his records. Describing himself, he said that he was a man who chose to combine the three religions, i.e Islam, Christianity and Traditional together so that he would be accord special recognition in Heaven. No need for explanation as he was a man who quoted Al-Qur'an, Bible, and Oracle verses with precision, exactness, and correctness. His birth by a church general overseer regardless, it was believed that these quotations earned him the 3-1 nickname Alhaji, Pastor, Oluwo. Late Adeboye first worked as a freelance radio presenter for Radio Lagos where he used to anchor a very ...

NYSC logo (left) and Osun State Polytechnic, Iree logo (right). Graphic collage illustrating the ongoing NYSC mobilization concerns affecting some graduates By Victor Olubiye For many graduates of Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, the joy of completing higher education has turned into months—and in some cases, nearly two years—of frustration, uncertainty, and emotional trauma over delayed mobilization for the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). What should have been the next chapter in their lives has instead become a painful waiting game, as affected graduates continue to battle unresolved issues surrounding the institution’s NYSC Senate list uploads. The controversy, which has sparked growing outrage among alumni, has raised serious questions about administrative efficiency and accountability within the institution. While some officials have reportedly shown concern, others have been accused of silence, negligence, and a lack of compassion toward struggling graduates. One of the advocac...

FEATURE: Student Life In Osun State Polytechnic,Iree

-
Image
By Victor Olubiye If you’ve ever lived the real student life in Nigeria, then you already know — it’s not beans. And if you’ve passed through Osun State Polytechnic, Iree (popularly called Ospoly), then you’ve seen it all: the lectures, the hustle, the all-night reading, and the fun that makes it all worth it. Tucked in the rocky town of Iree, Ospoly may look like just another higher institution from afar. But ask the students, and you’ll hear stories that go beyond the classroom. Stories of survival, discovery, and growth. Let’s start with the tough part — because Ospoly student life is not for the faint-hearted. First off, accommodation wahala. Most students live off-campus in nearby areas like Small London,Igaa 2, and Ladoja. While these places are lively and close to school, the amenities can be frustrating. Think of power outages right in the middle of night reading, or heavy rains turning your path to class into a muddy obstacle course. Then comes the financial struggle. With...
