 10 COMMANDMENTS - My Take By Fadip Kwamkur Qwamie I watched with keen attention the rhetorics that trailed the dedication of the Yeshua Kingdom International AKA The 10 commandments Ministry in Jos. Remember that any opinion held by anyone regardless of political affiliation is their own personal opinion and not of the generality of the community they emanate from.
