Proverbs 20
KJV
1 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
2 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.
3 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
4 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold; therefore shall he beg in harvest, and have nothing.
5 Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out.
6 Most men will proclaim every one his own goodness: but a faithful man who can find?

Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at the church, the Pastor and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out Gospel Tracts.
This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for the
Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring rain.
The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, 'OK, dad, I'm ready.'
His Pastor dad asked, 'Ready for what?'
'Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go out.'
Dad responds, 'Son, it's very cold outside and it's pouring rain.'
The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, 'But Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though it's raining?'
Dad answers, 'Son, I am not going out in this weather.'
Despondently, the boy asks, 'Dad, can I go? Please?'
His father hesitated for a moment then said, 'Son, you can go. Here are the tracts, be careful son..'
'Thanks Dad!'
And with that, he was off and out into the rain.. This eleven year old boy walked the streets of the town going door to door and handing everybody he met in the street a Gospel Tract .
After two hours of walking in the rain, he was soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST TRACT. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally deserted. Then he turned toward the first home he saw and started up the sidewalk to the front door and rang the door bell. He rang the bell, but nobody answered.
He rang it again and again, but still no one answered.. He waited but still no answer.
Finally, this eleven year old trooper turned to leave, but something stopped him.
Again, he turned to the door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door with his fist. He waited, something holding him there on the front porch!
He rang again and this time the door slowly opened.
Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking elderly lady. She softly asked, 'What can I do for you, son?' With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world, this little boy said, 'Ma'am, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want to tell you that * JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU * and I came to give you my very last Gospel Tract which will tell you all about JESUS and His great LOVE.'
With that, he handed her his last tract and turned to leave.
She called to him as he departed. 'Thank you, son! And God Bless You!'
Well, the following Sunday morning in church Pastor Dad was in the pulpit. As the service began, he asked, 'Does anybody have testimony or want to say anything?'
Slowly, in the back row of the church, an elderly lady stood to her feet.
As she began to speak, a look of glorious radiance came from her face, 'No one in this church knows me. I've never been here before. You see, before last Sunday I was not a Christian. My husband passed on some time ago, leaving me totally alone in this world. Last Sunday, being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line where I no longer had any hope or will to live.
So I took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to a rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck. Standing on that chair, so lonely and broken-hearted I was about to leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, 'I'll wait a minute, and whoever it is will go away.'
I waited and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing also started knocking loudly...
I thought to myself again, 'Who on earth could this be?
Nobody ever
rings my bell or comes to see me.' I loosened the rope from my neck and started for the front door, all the while the bell rang louder and louder.
When I opened the door and looked I could hardly believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to you!
The words that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a cherub-like voice, 'Ma'am, I just came to tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU .'
Then he gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand..
As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up to my attic to get my rope and chair. I wouldn't be needing them any more.
You see-- -I am now a Happy Child of the KING. Since the address of your church was on the back of this Gospel Tract, I have come here to personally say THANK YOU to God's little angel who came just in the nick of time and by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell..'
There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts of praise and honor to THE KING resounded off the very rafters of the building, Pastor Dad descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the little angel was seated....
He took his son in his arms and sobbed uncontrollably.
Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and probably this universe has never seen a Papa that was more filled with love & honor for his son.... Except for One.
Blessed are your eyes for reading this message.
Don't let this message die, read it again and pass it to others. Heaven is for His people!
Remember, God's message CAN make the difference in the life of someone close to you.
Please share this wonderful message...
If you love JESUS, please forward this message.
Spread His word, and share His goodness and faithfulness.
Matthew 10:32 says:
'Whoever acknowledges Me before men, I will acknowledge him before My Father in heaven. But whoever disowns Me before men, I will disown him before My Father in heaven

What I saw in Ajaokuta Steel Plant

I have heard and read a lot about the National Iron-Ore Mining Company (NIOMCO), Itakpe and Ajaokuta Steel Company Limited (ASCL) but I saw their true state for the first time in early May when I, in company of about 50 journalists, visited the gigantic complexes on a fact-finding mission. I was a rapporteur of a 3-Day Media Immersion Workshop organised for journalists and reporters covering the mining sector organised by the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development in conjunction with a Non-Governmental Organisation, OSIWA.

The original conceivers of NIOMCO meant well for the country. At the site of iron ore belt, there is a deposit of about 200m tonnes of iron ore of 4km stretch both on the surface and underground. Not one percent of this has been mined. We visited the blending yard that blends the ore with other minerals to give the same volume. The power station gets supply from Ajaokuta power substation which is 52kms away, but hoodlums are vandalising the copper cables. The repatriation bin is where the reclaimed mineral is sent to this mill. The iron at the site is what is called iron ore and other minerals. There is a dam, wagons, rail network, machines and other installations. NIOMCO is to supply Ajaokuta Steel plant input materials for production of steel.

NIOMCO was small compared to Ajaokuta. What I saw in Ajaokuta left me speechless and sad till now. How could we as a nation, leave such a cash cow to waste away just because past leaders could not get their acts together and harness the great potentials of the gigantic edifice which is rightly described as “the bedrock of Nigeria’s industrialisation” ? The size of the complex is on a 24,000 hectares land area. The steel plant occupies 8,000 hectares with other underground equipment as big as the ones on the surface. It was expected to engage about 10,000 direct employees and create 500,000 indirect jobs in the upstream, downstream and side stream segments. Nigeria imports 20 million tonnes of steel and allied products worth N6tn annually. Ajaokuta can correct this normally if operational. Ajaokuta can support all our airports, stadia, cement company, armoury, agro-allied companies. It can also service Aladja, Katsina, Jos and Osogbo Steel rolling mills!

South Korea which started its steel construction around the same time now has a revenue base of over N60b dollars per annum and employed over 65,000 staff. Ajaokuta would have done better if it had started production or had been completed within the initial scheduled time. Reportedly, the plant had been completed 98 percent in the last 23 years (1994) but all these are not put into use. Just like NIOMCO, Ajaokuta Steel plant has been encumbered by legal bottlenecks which has recently been resolved while the company is expected to start production as soon as possible. The present administration through the present minister, has released money for equipment maintenance while concession, outright sale, privatization and joint venture options are being considered.

We should salute the courage and vision of ex-President Shehu Shagari who started and built the complex up to 84% since 1983 while it was only completed to 98% in 1994. We were told he personally monitored the progress of the steel plant construction by visiting the complex every month. It is sad that a complex which had been completed 84% since 1983 is yet to commence production 34 years after.

Words are not enough to describe the huge size of the complex and the highly sophisticated assemblage of the 43 different plants made up of a web of complex iron, cable and machinery of different sizes and functions. Out of the 43 plants, 40 are already completed and can produce independently. However, what is delaying production, according to our tour guide, is that steel plants are either sea or rail based. When a plant is commenced, you cannot stop it until about seven years. This means all the materials needed must be readily available. In fact, it will take about six months to shut down any of the plants!

Ajaokuta is unarguably Nigeria’s biggest investment in one location. The internal rail line of the complex covers about 54 kilometres while the total length of the steel complex is about 24 kilometres. Six thousand housing units have been completed out of the 10,000 planned for the staff. Ajaokuta is not just a rolling mill but an integrated iron and steel plant. It has four rolling mills namely; the Billet Mill which produces billets; the Light Section Mill which produces round, square, strip and angles metals; the Wire Rod Mill which produces wire rods and rebars used in construction companies and production of nails, fencing wire, rope mesh, bolts and nut and netting; and, the Medium Section and Structural Mill which produces parallel fl**ge channels, equal angles, unequal angles and standard channels. In fact, each of the four rolling mills is bigger than Aladja, Osogbo, Katsina and Jos rolling mills put together while the coke oven and bye products plant is bigger than all the four refineries in Nigeria put together.

The good news however is that the equipment in the plants is being serviced except for some replacement of parts so it can start working as soon as running fund is made available. A total of $4.6 billion has been sunk on the plant since inception while an additional, $2billion is required to complete the remaining plants and for running costs to start production. In 2016, 1.6 million metric tonnes of steel was produced using the blast furnace system. The equipment is constantly maintained since installation in 1983 and this explains why the workers remained on federal government payroll since then. The recent audit report certified the equipment fit for production.

From the information available at the workshop and with what I saw at Itakpe and Ajaokuta plants, the jinx holding back the companies may be about to be broken through the efforts of the present ministers who have worked assiduously to revive the ailing plants and make the mining sector as a whole, vibrant. Part of this is the acquisition of wide format scanner to safeguard drawings. Jaw crusher was also purchased while some machines were recovered and others rehabilitated. The effort has also resulted in securing a N30b intervention fund from the federal government for the mining sector and US$150m from the World Bank.

Inter-ministerial cooperation has been assured at the National Mining Conference in Abuja with the federal government directive for the removal of bottlenecks in the mining sector and enacting enabling laws, policies that are investor friendly. The sector has grown by 6% quarter-on-quarter in the last five quarters despite the recession and the acting President, Prof. Yemi Osibajo alluded to this when he said the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development under Dr. Kayode Fayemi is performing.

The ministry, in its roadmap, recently said it will contribute about $27bn (N9.7tn) to the Gross Domestic Product by 2025. Nigeria is now more active than before in raising awareness of the opportunities it presents to the industry with attendance at several mining conferences in the country and across the world where it showcases to international investors, the available opportunities in the sector.

There is a great potential to be harnessed in the mining sector as the internal market is not even saturated. Even though we have more mineral resources which we have jettisoned for oil, we are not a mining nation and this will change soon if the present administration can maintain the current pace of development in the sector. If Itakpe and Ajaokuta can start operation, the economy of Nigeria will improve dramatically as it will become a major foreign exchange earner and signal the beginning of the industrialisation of Africa’s largest economy.
