Evangelist Mike Bamiloye has revealed that some people have brought unnecessary c¥rses upon themselves by ins¥lting genuine men of God.
He said David the King didn’t have to c¥rse Michal his wife at all, when she despised him in her heart and ins¥lted him when he came back from dancing heartily in the presence of God.
2 Samuel 6:16 NKJV [16] Now as the ark of the LORD came into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.
DAVID never c¥rsed her but she incurred an unnecessary c¥rse upon herself for touching the Lords anointed.
2 Samuel 6:23 NKJV [23] Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her de@th.

5m Nigerians will need to pay for the new national ID card because the government has limited revenue — NIMC
The National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has announced that Nigerians will need to pay for the new multipurpose national identity card, citing limited government revenue as the primary reason for the decision.
Speaking during a two-day roundtable for journalists in Lagos, Dr. Peter Iwegbu, Head of Card Management Services at NIMC, said, “The payment is to ensure that the card is produced for only those who need it.”
He explained that this approach aims to avoid repeating past mistakes where physical cards were issued for free, but many were left uncollected.
“In the previous attempt to issue free National ID cards, over two million cards were produced, and many of them have not been collected till date,” he noted.
Dr. Iwegbu further stated, “The government’s limited revenue is also a major factor in the decision to make Nigerians pay for the new ID card.”
Adding to this, the Director of Information Technology at NIMC, Mr. Lanre Yusuf, said, “The idea of a free national ID card did not turn out well in the past.” He described the new ID card as a post-paid identity card, emphasizing that individuals must need the card before initiating a request for it.
“To get the new national ID card, Nigerians will need to make a payment, select a pickup location, and then collect their card from the chosen location.
The government has implemented programs to make the card accessible to less privileged Nigerians who cannot afford it but require it to access government support. This initiative demonstrates the government’s commitment to inclusivity and equality,” Yusuf explained. Yusuf revealed that the multipurpose ID cards are set to launch soon, with sample test cards already received. He added, “NIMC is working with banks across the country, which will make it possible for people to walk into any bank closest to them and request the card.”
