Cost reality check on our Nigerian Compressed Earth Block (CEB) — since so many of you asked. Like I said earlier these bricks are produced on site. We set up the full process (The machine, mix tests, adjustments.) Beause a lot depends on the soil when you want to build with earth (laterite).

God could have raised Jesus from the dead in 30 seconds. He is sovereign over time. Christ could have satisfied divine justice, breathed his last, and walked out of that tomb within the hour. The stone could have rolled away on Friday evening. There was no cosmic constraint forcing a three-day wait. God chose the silence. And that choice is itself a sermon. We so easily skip to Sunday because we’re a culture of spoilers. We treat Saturday like a commercial break. But to the disciples, it wasn't "Holy Saturday." It was just silence. It felt like the end. The tomb was sealed. The guards were posted. The disciples were scattered and weeping. From every observable angle, the story was over. Saturday was not dramatic, it was just quiet. And that silence felt like the verdict. But God’s silence is never his absence. This is one of his most consistent signatures across Scripture. Joseph rotted in an Egyptian prison for years between the dream and the throne. Israel spent four centuries under Pharaoh’s whip between the covenant and the exodus. Lazarus lay four days dead while Jesus, who had heard the news and deliberately waited, finally arrived to a grieving family asking why he had not come sooner. The pattern is unbroken, God operates in the gap between promise and fulfillment, and that gap while appearing like inactivity, is actually just invisibility. The three day wait was not a concession to time, it was a proclamation through time. In the ancient world, day three was the threshold of undeniable death. A 30-second resurrection looks like a medical fluke. A day-three resurrection slams the door. It proves the grave was truly locked before God kicked it open. And the timing was prophetic to the letter, the sign of Jonah, the temple rebuilt in three days, Isaiah’s suffering servant assigned a grave. God does not cancel his own word. He fulfills it down to the schedule. Interestingly, the disciples did not know Sunday was coming. They lived Saturday as though it were permanent. Friday seemed like the final act to them. And that is exactly where many of us are right now. You received a word, a promise, a vision and then everything went quiet. You are living in Saturday, and Saturday feels like the story is over. It is not over. God’s activity and God’s visibility are not the same thing. What looks like a sealed tomb from the outside can be, from eternity’s vantage point, the most active moment in the history of your life. The enemy’s most determined act of sealing always becomes God’s most glorious setup for opening. The silence is not the verdict, it is gestation. The waiting of Saturday has a shape. The silence has a purpose. And when God breaks it, He doesn’t just answer your question, He swallows it whole. Sunday is coming. Hold on through Saturday.

The ADC NWC Debacle; separating facts from fictions. I was in court on 12/3/26 when the CA Abuja made the order of status quo that INEC is purportedly obeying regarding ADC leadership. I’ll explain how we got here briefly. The former NWC of ADC resigned. One Bala Gombe claimed he did not resign and unilaterally declared himself acting Chairman. Needless to say he’s an APC stooge. So he filed an action at the FHC Abuja. The matter on its merits is still pending. I am counsel representing one of the members of the interim NWC seeking to be joined in the case, so I’m yet to be formerly joined. At the trial court, we have many applications that are still pending, including POs. The trial Judge, Nwite J, gave an interlocutory order of showing cause why the interim order suspending recognition of Sen. David Mark should not be made. One of the parties appealed that order, to the CA Abuja. When appeal was entered, Nwite’s hands were tied and he directed parties to take their fight to the CA. At the CA, the appeal was dismissed. The Court of Appeal, SUO MOTU, after the judgment, and without any application from ANY of the parties, ordered status quo. So what is the status quo? Simple and basic knowledge of status quo is that David Mark-led NWC IS the interim leadership. That was the position in the trial court and at the CA. There’s also now an appeal at the Supreme Court against the judgment of the CA with a motion for stay. For INEC to claim it’s now obeying an order of court that’s pending appeal at the APEX COURT is clearly mischief. But well, you know the rest. END. A. Badmos.
