THE greatest sin in the Bible by far is the sin of idolatry.
Exodus is a book in the Bible that is explicit about idolatry and its consequences.
Chapter 20 in Exodus says Idolatry is when we violate the first of the Ten Commandments, which is “You shall have no other gods before me.”
Idolatry, in this sense, is the root of all other sins, including envy, sophism, unnecessary bickering, treachery, betrayal, deception, infidelity, perfidy, and disloyalty, which is why the first two commandments deal with this.
They are so power desirous and want to remain so by imploring everything their orifice can see to induce a stir.
At NUJ Edo State Council, many haters of this administration run all over the state attending meetings of well-known gangsters planning to choose a retarded part.
Often, when they meet them in person, they fawn all over them and almost faint talking trash about things not in existence against the reputation of the present leadership who were never part of “some stolen funds”, perhaps to confiscate and convince some well-known ministers who cannot even go out in public without constantly being stopped by stakeholders to explain what they could do during their tenure in office.
Anytime they come around the NUJ Secretariat they could not fix for several tenures in their failure occupying the seat, they are one of those taking “selfies” with outsiders now assisting in some kind of way.
Unknowingly to them, they are promoting the outstanding works in less than a year and a half of the office of Festus Alenkhe and his Executive.
Since I know and have worked with many of them, I have seen this firsthand.
Now what is the sin of Comrade Festus Alenkhe?
Ok, let us list the sins through the gist.
Festus Alenkhe and his Executive
Change the phase of the Secretariat
They also made possible 24 hours Electricity Supply
They enforced professionalism in a career through the compendium that some of these elements have spent over 30 years.
They brought about orderliness and sanity in the system.
They installed CCTV to ensure security
They reconstructed the toilets at the secretariat for optimal use. Remember, the motel plaza and nearby bushes use to serve as service points for nature calls.
They are Presently Constructing a Perimeter fencing of the Union’s Secretariat.

Outsiders always now want to relax at NUJ, thereby raising more Patronage and revenues for the tenants.
Political interest groups and a pool of clientele now openly involve Journalists who were abinitio deprived by some selfish elements and so-called leaders.
The threshold of many who are pathetically ganging in the futility against the present crops of the leadership of the Nigeria Union of Journalists Edo State Council purely translates the Biblical remarks “It is when we put something or someone first in our lives before the living and true God”.
While they are today focusing on various sins related to human lifestyle choices, many of them who might not fit into these two categories might be deluded into believing they are okay, even though they might be breaking the greatest commandment.
There are some whose main motive is to use their faith to leverage influence with God for personal gain, even though God delights in blessing all of his children, third John two, Jesus, however, told us to seek first His kingdom and righteousness for our material needs to be added to us Matthew 6:33.
Many attempts to use the benevolent character of God to live a myopic life in which Christianity orbits around the universe of self.
God has given us the power to get wealth so we can spread his covenant to the whole earth, not merely so we can live a life of ease while others suffer.
Using our faith to put our own needs first is a form of idolatry, in my opinion.
These sets of people need to stop reading the development part of this administration merely through their ethnic lenses because, in actuality, Comrade Festus Alenkhe like the Bible has written with a Hebraic mindset, it will be foolish of them to think they can converge like ducks in the water and fully understand the contemporary ethnic mindsets.
I know this will hurt them the more, but they have no choice other than to believe that Festus Alenkhe’s led Executive has done enough to be considered for more than two tenures.
