CHAMS @40: MODEL OF ENTERPRENEURSHIP, Compass of faith in God and service to Humanity.

The CHAMS story at 40 is an impactful part of Nigeria’s technological development and history. Writing about CHAMS at 40 is, first and foremost, to celebrate a visionary and trailblazer, Sir Ademola Benjamin Aladekomo (ABA). Successful tech entrepreneurs are pioneers, visionaries, risk-takers, problem-solvers, leaders, and boundary pushers. Sir Aladekomo, beyond the famous ones who have changed recent tech history like Bill Gates (Microsoft), Elon Musk (Tesla, SpaceX), Jeff Bezos (Amazon), and Mark Zuckerberg (Facebook), is a treasurer of God’s itinerant kingdom with a lifestyle shaped by the fear of God as the source of his inspiration. Sir Aladekomo’s unwavering...

NIGERIA METHODISM @183: METHODISM AND THE PARABLE OF THE LOST PIECES OF BAND AND CLASS MEETINGS.

No Circuit ever did, nor ever will, flourish unless there are bands in the larger societies – John Wesley, April 1788. Today, September 24, 2025, marks the 183rd anniversary of modern Christianity and Methodism in Nigeria.

… Brethren, our preaching will bear its legitimate fruits. If immorality prevails in the land, the fault is ours in a great degree.

If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in religion, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that the very...

TRAPS AGAINST EVANGELISM! EXAMPLE OF JESUS AND THE PHARISEES AND LESSONS TODAY.

Jesus was invited to dinner at the home of a leader of the Pharisees. Jesus accepted the invitation just as many churches and organisations accommodate evangelism. The invitation highlights theological and missiological traps against evangelism. The Pharisees’ invitation suggests a domesticated mindset and practice of sharing love as a flawed theological and missiological trapdoor to date. The Pharisees’ open invitation was not without guided toleration and access to their prideful knowledge of the law and financial resources to organise a free meal. Pharisees do not give free meals; instead, they use people in the name of loving people. Theology...
