Opinion: Frank Edward's Frankincense To God

Frankincense is a white resin or gum. It is obtained from a tree by making incisions in the bark and allowing the gum to flow out. It is highly fragrant when burned and was therefore used in worship, where it was burned as a pleasant offering to God.

Before the very essence of this album review, let’s find out why the three wise men brought gold, frankincense, and myrrh to baby Jesus.

The Bible tells us that the magi, or wise men, travelled from the East in search of the Christ child. They inquired of King Herod where they might find Him, saying, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him".

Since flag independence in 1960, and more specifically, since return to Civilian Rule in 1999; no Nigerian leader has taken far-reaching and indelible steps to strengthen national unity. NONE!

If we don’t first tackle the elusive issue of nation building, whatever growth initiatives by successive administrations would be sham, pretentious, and merely peripheral. Today, decades after the physical exit of the colonialists, Nigeria is still an amalgam of strange bedfellows.
