The Love of God in Christ (LOGIC) Church is set to hold its annual Jesus + Nothing Conference in three locations; London, Lagos Mainland and Lagos Island. This is the 3rd edition of the conference, with previous editions held in 2021 and 2022 in Lagos Nigeria.

The conference will kick off with the London edition on Saturday May 20 at 1.30pm and then on Sunday May 21, 2023 at 10am at Doubletree by Hilton, London Docklands SE16 5HW. Conference proceedings then move to Lagos Mainland on Thursday, May 25th at the Freude’s Place, 23 Ikorodu Road, Wasimi, Maryland at 5.30pm.

The conference session on Saturday will be held at 10am and on Sunday at 8am and 10am.

Speaking about the 2023 conference, the Lead Pastor and Apostolic Head of the LOGIC Nation and Convener of the Jesus + Nothing Conference, Dr. Flourish Peters noted that the objective of the Jesus + Nothing Conference is to reveal Christ and the finished work on the cross. “Unfortunately there is a religious system that has put pressure on people to earn their place as believers. This is a grave injustice to Christ and the finished work on the cross. The work of redemption was done once for all men, once for all time and once for all sins. We are called to bring this good news to the world. We have brought together some of the most profound teachers and preachers of the Gospel of Christ, who have a track record of rightly dividing the word of truth to reveal the good news of Christ. This will indeed be a life transforming conference for participants,” noted Peters.

Speakers at the conference include Bishop Mike Okonkwo, Presiding Bishop, The Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM), Bishop Wale Ajayi, Bishop, Church of God Mission International Historic Miracle Center, Dr. Phil Ransom Bello, Senior Pastor of The StandPoint Church, Rev. Peter Ayo-Alabi, Pioneer of the Heritage of Faith Church and Pastor Clarkson Ikwunze, the Resident Pastor of the LOGIC Church, Lagos Mainland Branch.

Ministering in music are seasoned ministers of the Gospel like Minister Victor Paul, Pastor Noble G, Minister Ayo Vincent, Minister Sumisola Agbebi, Greatman Takit and Joxie.

The LOGIC Church is one of Nigeria’s fastest growing Churches. With a vision of preaching the Gospel of the Grace of God to our Generation by the help of the Spirit, empowering and impacting people to flourish in every area of their lives, the Church since inception in 2020 has grown to 6 branches; Lagos Island, Lagos Mainland (Fadeyi and FESTAC), Abuja, Cotonou and London.

The Church is led by Dr. Flourish Peters, an Apostle of the Grace of God to this generation. Being a 4th generation Pastor, he has been in active ministry for over 22 years before his university days passionately pastoring, serving, learning under renown world class leaders and ministers of the Gospel, like Archbishop Benson Idahosa, Apostle Moses Grandeur both of blessed memory and Pastor Paul Adefarasin, amongst many Apostles. All of whom have molded him to become the remarkable leader and Pastor that he now is.

It Will Be Undemocratic: Why Military Hasn’t Gone After Asari-Dokubo — DHQ

Published

on

The Defence Headquarters clarified on Thursday that it has refrained from taking action against former Niger Delta militant warlord, Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, to avoid accusations of acting “undemocratically.”

The Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj. Gen. Edward Buba, stated this in Abuja while addressing a recent report concerning Asari-Dokubo’s alleged threat to shoot down a military helicopter that had reportedly flown near his residence.

Speaking to journalists, the DHQ spokesman dismissed Asari-Dokubo’s threat as “laughable,” daring him to engage soldiers in actual combat if he felt confident enough.

Buba remarked, “Now, the comment by an individual that he can shoot down military helicopters is laughable. And I am about to laugh at that. We are in a democracy, and we are professionals. Of course, we cannot just, based on somebody’s comments, begin to take certain actions. They would accuse the military of being undemocratic.

“The military is not the only security force or department in the country. There are other security agencies that have a constitutional role to play in handling such issues.

“I tell you that he doesn’t have that capability, but I will allow the security forces responsible for such matters to take it up. As for us, come to the battlefield, and we’ll take you out. He should come to the battlefield and see whether we can react or not.”

Buba further emphasized that the military’s primary objective remains targeting terrorists across various regions of operations.

“For us, the enemy we fight are the terrorists. Some may choose to call them different names in the different theatres of operations where they exist. In the North-West and North-East, some will say terrorists; some may prefer to call them bandits.

“I tell you, they are all terrorists, and that is what we see. Troops are making significant progress. As I mentioned earlier, we prioritise eliminating terrorist leadership, and we have been doing just that. In the last three quarters, we have taken out over 300 terrorist commanders, not to mention their foot soldiers.

“Our aim is to diminish their fighting capabilities and damage their military capabilities, which we have been successfully doing. As indicated in the brief you received, you can see how many weapons and ammunition we have recovered.”

Buba also disclosed that a prominent terrorist leader in Jigawa State, known as Mai Hijabi, was neutralized in a recent operation conducted during the week.

He reported that 165 terrorists were killed, and 238 individuals were arrested.

“Our operations have destroyed a substantial part of the combat capacity of these terror groups and their leadership. For instance, one of the notorious terrorist commanders in Jigawa State, known as Mai Hijabi, was eliminated from the battlefield during the week. Troops are, therefore, increasingly making significant strides across all theatres of operations.

“During the week under review, troops neutralised 165 terrorists, arrested 238 persons, and rescued 188 kidnapped victims.”

Buba also mentioned the arrest of 35 suspected oil thieves in the South-South region and the prevention of oil theft worth an estimated N688,125,150.00.

“Troops in the Niger Delta area discovered and destroyed two dugout pits, 58 boats, and 39 storage tanks. Other items recovered include 13 cooking ovens, 35 drums, one motorcycle, one tricycle, four speed boats, 13 vehicles, and 65 illegal refining sites. Troops recovered 789,200 litres of stolen crude oil and 64,950 litres of illegally refined AGO.”

Buba went on to say that troops also recovered 153 assorted weapons and 2,182 rounds of ammunition.

The recovered items include 81 AK-47 rifles, 23 fabricated rifles, 27 Dane guns, 13 pump-action guns, five locally-made pistols, three revolver pistols, 30 AK-47 magazines, and one bayonet.

Other seized materials included, “1,561 rounds of 7.62mm special ammunition, 278 rounds of 7.62mm NATO ammunition, 70 rounds of 50mm ammunition, 72 rounds of 9mm ammunition, 87 live cartridges, one Baofeng radio, 19 vehicles, 21 motorcycles, 45 mobile phones, and the sum of N64,100.00, among other items.”
