Mr Emefiele pleaded not guilty to all the fresh charges, marking the beginning of the second fraud and corruption case filed against him by the EFCC since his indictment as a special investigator.

Former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele, on Monday, appeared before the Special Offences Court in Lagos, where the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) presented 26 charges of fraud and corruption against him.

Mr Emefiele pleaded not guilty to all the fresh charges, marking the beginning of the second fraud and corruption case filed against him by the EFCC since his indictment by Jim Obaze, a special investigator engaged by President Bola Tinubu to investigate the activities of the CBN on his watch.

EFCC is prosecuting Mr Emefiele at the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja over his alleged corrupt activities as CBN governor, which terminated in June last year.

The fresh charges against him in Lagos include abuse of office and irregular allocation of cumulative $4.5 billion and £2.8 billion while he was in office as CBN governor.

EFCC also accused him of corruptly receiving funds, conferring advantages on associates, and allocating forex without a bid.

The prosecution alleged that he corruptly received funds from companies like NIPCO Plc and Raja Punjab and conferred corrupt advantage on his associates, including Limelight Multidimensional Services Ltd, Adswin Resources Solution Ltd, and COMEC Support Services Ltd.

The arraignment occurred before the trial judge Rahman Oshodi, who subsequently ordered the remand of Mr Emefiele in EFCC custody until 11 April, when the court is expected to rule on his bail application.

Before charging him afresh, the EFCC was already prosecuting him in an ongoing trial at the Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja.

In the Abuja case, the anti-corruption commission EFCC accused the former CBN governor of criminal conspiracy, conferring undue advantage, and breach of trust, among others.

The commission, in the amended charges, increased the number of counts from six to 20, and dropped a former co-defendant’s name, Sa’adatu Yaro, from the case.

In some of the counts, EFCC alleged that Mr Emefiele, in January 2023, forged a document titled, ‘Re: Presidential Directive on Foreign Election Observer Missions,’ dated January 2023 with reference number, SGF.43/L.01/201.

The EFCC alleged that Mr Emefiele made the claim knowing the same to be false.

Highlights of the fresh charges contained in an EFCC release on Tuesday include:
*Allocated forex of $291, 945,785.59 without bid
*Corruptly received $740, 000 from NIPCO Plc
*Corruptly received $850, 000 from Raja Punjab on account of forex to his employer

The only female aspirant in the contest for the APC governorship ticket in Ondo state, Engr. (DR) Oluwafunmilayo Ayinke Waheed-Adekojo has been cleared by the screening committee of the All Progressive Congress (APC) at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja yesterday Friday, 12th of April, 2024.

The screening process which normally involves validation of candidates’ credentials and eligibility to contest was without hassle for Funmi Ayinke as there were no discrepancies in her credentials especially for the fact that she has proven records in the public space confirming her credibility and eligibility for the contest.

When asked about her plans for the people of Ondo state by the committee, Funmi Ayinke expressed the need for Ondo state to evolve using technology and Artificial intelligence which she is very knowledgeable in, narrating how she generated electricity through briquette.
She stated that Ondo state needs an engineer who is vast in the application of technology which would of course; secure a better position for the state internationally.

‘’I am vast in the knowledge of technology and Artificial intelligence, the world is changing and we can’t continue to remain as we are. We need an engineer who is vast and knowledgeable in all of these. I developed the generation of electricity through briquette so when we have this kind of grace in Ondo state, we should not waste it.’’

Continuing, Funmi Ayinke expressed confidence in securing the party’s ticket because all women in the state have thrown their weight behind her. She noted that many women decided to support her ambition because she has been a source of hope for them before she thought of a governorship ambition.

Speaking further on the support she has received so far, Funmi Ayinke recounted the massive crowd that besieged her rally ground in Akure without paying a dime.

‘’Women come to me that they want to pay me back with their support because I have been a source of hope for them. Women vote more in Ondo state and I have that confidence that this is my time, I have sown the seed, it’s time for harvest.’’

‘’In the last rally we did, I didn’t pay any women to attend, It was just an open invitation and we shut down the whole of Akure, this means people know what they want and they appreciate the fact that we have the courage to come out. Without woman, there is no vote, no nation.’’

The screening process ended with cheers from the committee, congratulatory messages from officials at the party’s secretariat and prayers of victory from women in the secretariat premises.

Tsokundi killings: Tivs in Taraba Are Taking The Generosity of Gov. Agbu Kefas For Granted - Chief Benjamin Bako


The president of the Jukun Apex Socio- Cultural and Political Organisation of the Jukun people , the Jukun Development Association of Nigeria (JDAN) Chief Benjamin Bako has warned the suspected Tiv Militia group who were alleged to have killed three ( 3) people and many others injured to take advantage of the generosity and the inclusiveness of the present administration of Dr agbu kafas to live in peace with their host Community or the Jukun people will be prepared to defend their land.

Chief Bako stated this in an exclusive interview with Taraba News while reacting to the news of the killings of 3 people, including a woman along Wukari Tsokudi Road in Wukari Local Government of Taraba State. He expressed surprise that a Tiv group will audaciously step forward to claim responsibility for slaughtering Jukun people on their own land .

Chief Bako said Gov Agbu Kefas' efforts to operate an all-inclusive government of State unity by taking the political risk to ignore many interest groups and brought on board even the opposition is being viewed by some Tiv renegades as a sign of weakness. Can you imagine that for the first time after a long time a Tiv man is appointed into the state executive council with hope for more opportunities, then the Tiv people stroke with the intention of blackmailing the government.

The magnanimity of the current government needs to be commended, to say the least. Tiv people in Taraba dividend their votes between Professor Yahaya of the NNPP and Senator Emmanuel Bwacha of the APC, yet Dr Agbu Kefas rewarded them and many others for opposing him.



Chief Bako Condemns in strong terms the attack against the Jukun people and warn that Jukun will no longer tolerate, he said this attack has been going on for some time now, he said this attack is not only happening on Wukari- Tsokundi but also on, Chanchanji-Takum road where Tiv criminality has been elevated to a community enterprise.

"As I speak to you many have died, Yoruba people, Igbo Business people by the same Tiv people along Chanchanji, robbery and kidnapping taking place on this road on a daily basis, some of this incident are even under reported"

According to Chief Bako, the Jukun people in Benue state are being ridiculed and maltreated daily but yet they follow a civic approach by seeking redress in court, he condemned the recent attack on Jukun people in North Bank Makurdi Benue state.
" Our people in Benue are suffering under a terrible inhuman condition witness only in appartite SouthAfrica, they don’t even have a government primary school, clinics, not even get a councilor in over 100 years of existence. Yet our people obediently wrote to complain about their plight, and even went to court, without taking law Into their hands"

According to him ,Tiv criminality in Southern Taraba has destroyed the economy of the entire region is becoming very worrisome and the Jukun people will defend themselves and defend their land, he warned that the continuous killing of the Jukun people will no longer be tolerated.

"We own land from Kente to Makurdi in Benue state but has been subjugated completely and yet the Jukun people did not take laws into their hands in Benue State, rather went to court, we need to go back to drawing board with this open declaration of war by the Tiv people, it is going to be fire for fire, enough is enough, we will defend ourself and our land no body has monopoly for violence" He called on security agencies to identify the Tiv Taraba group officials and arrest them promptly before they kill more people as they openly promised.

He condemned the declaration by the TIV Taraba group online, where the group claimed responsibility for the attack and also threatened further attack on the Jukun people.

"The acceptance by the TIV Taraba that they kill the Jukun people is the high of it, this can only happen in Afghanistan, we need to go back to the drawing board and defend ourselves because they have told us what to expect "

He disagreed with the claim that some land in Jukun land belonged to the Tiv people.

"The problem has been there for years, those places they are claiming that they are their grand fathers' land now, these where farm labourers that were brought into Jukunland, to come and farm, you know the culture of farm labourers in Jukun land is not new, our people go and hire people surplus supply of farm labourers across Benue to come and farm for them, when you farm for them they will say, let me compensate you with a small piece of the land to farm your choice of crop for the season, ; these Jukun people with time now died and their children not interested in farming left for the city, this community Tivs stay their and continued to multiple and stay in the farm and now they are claiming it is their land" They should produce the receipt of payment where the land was sold to them by Jukun people. Is Tsukundi a Jukun name or Tiv language? Answer me!

This was in Lagos on Thursday at the meeting of the company with its business partners and major distributors across the country to mark the end of the financial year of the company with the main theme: "Driving Growth through Strong Business Partnerships."

In his welcome speech as well as his corporate presentation, Arun Raj, the Chief Commercial Officer, Shalina Healthcare West Africa said through the efforts of the business partners " Shalina is one of the fastest growing pharmaceutical companies in Africa. Though the last one year had shown to be one of the most difficult for business in the recent times, but were able to weather the storm through the support and resilience of our major distributors. The last one year had shown to be a very difficult time, especially for the industry, with a leading brand of about sixty years in Nigeria leaving the country, but we are assuring everyone that, despite all economic issues, Shalina continues to believe Nigeria. We are committed to providing available and affordable quality health products. It will interest many people that in the last financial year, the company had a 19% volume growth. Though it may be below our expectations, but considering the economic realities of the last one year, it is a good development."

In the same vein, the Managing Director, Shalina Healthcare, Nigeria, Mrs. Opeyemi Akinyele, said "the purpose of the event is to refresh, appraise and evaluate the last financial year for us to forge ahead and make more impacts.

The Dollar was about to hit #2000 and the Naira was regarded as the worst currency in Africa.Many wonder what prompted the sudden and unexpected fall of the American Dollar.Some prophets claimed that they used some powers to achieve that for Nigeria.

I want to bring it to the knowledge of everyone in Nigeria that the prophetic Hall of Fame, prophet Godwin Ikuru of Jehovah Eye Salvation Ministry is the the one prayed for Naira to appreciate,when I actually saw it on Facebook,I laughed at thought it will never happen until Naira started appreciating serious to the shock of everyone in Nigeria.

It was the same prophet that Prayed and told God to restore peace in the East and bring SIT AT HOME to an end, today, people go about their normal businesses on Monday because ” SIT AT HOME” has ended.

It was The prophetic Hall of Fame, prophet Godwin Ikuru that also prophesied that Africa will produce a the youngest president,Faye of Senegal has emerged as the youngest president in Africa.

He also prophesied two years ago that King Charles would not rule for long, today the people of England are aware that their king has cancer that could kill him within the next two years.

He is also the prophet that Prayed for and stood by the Super Eagles of Nigeria during AFCON,when the chairman of the supporters club,Rafiu Ladipo visited him .

Finally,this is only prophet that saw Tinubu becoming the president, other prophets in Nigeria prophesied doom and never saw it coming, he’s the only prophet that supported and stood by Mr president til date.

The former governor of Kogi state, Yahaya Bello is a true definition of a friend for all seasons; in good and bad times, He will always show up for anyone he believes in without regard for what he stands to gain or lose.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is no doubt a beneficiary of Yahaya Bello’s exemplary style of friendship and this was evident in the build up to the 2023 presidential election where the former kogi state governor went all out for the emergence of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the president of Nigeria.

It would be recalled that Yahaya Bello held one of the largest rallies in the North Central zone to solicit support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. He gathered thousands of people at the prestigious Lokoja stadium and spoke to the people to vote for APC even more than they did in 2019.

He went as far as spending his personal resources to protect the interest of his party and on a larger scale, win the votes of the populace for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu; very few people would do that.

However, it’s quite appalling that some elements in the media have started sponsoring videos to state that Yahaya Bello was against the emergence of Bola Ahmed Tinubu as president. These elements have been identified as SDP media agents.

In the video which was extracted from Channels TV, they alleged that Yahaya Bello didn’t support President Tinubu because he was against zoning the presidential ticket to the south. This is a testament that these media agents would do anything just to push a narrative because by this act, Yahaya Bello simply showed that he is a leader who wants everything to be done the right way. The Nigerian constitution makes no provision for zoning and a ruling party adopting that approach would set a wrong precedent. By disagreeing with the zoning arrangement, Yahaya Bello didn’t disapprove of President Tinubu’s presidency; he only wanted to ensure the process that would produce a candidate will be democratic.

When Yahaya Bello noticed that some people in the ruling party wanted to illegally disqualify some presidential aspirants because they are from the ‘minority’ after purchasing nomination forms, he stood for himself and other aspirants, warning them not to attempt it because it would tamper with the democratic process. To the opposition, this heroic act of Yahaya Bello was seen as an attack against President Bola Ahmed Tinubu; this once again underscores their inability to think right.

Among their allegations against Yahaya Bello was that he said President Tinubu was too old and weak to lead Nigeria. Till today, they still can’t come up with solid evidence to back up this allegation.

It is worthy of note that Yahaya Bello immediately collapsed his massive structure into that of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in order to ensure victory for the All Progressive Congress. How else does one support an individual if not by doing all of these?

SDP should know that by now, they can’t break the bond between President Tinubu and Yahaya Bello, it’s too late already but they should desist from sharing falsehood because they can’t bear the pain of loss.

Arukhe seeks Govt policies that promote local content and technology transfer, elected to NSE

James Arukhe, an oil & gas expert, has called on the federal government to deepen policies that will promote local content and technology transfer, as he stated that those measures will empower Nigerian engineers and contribute significantly to the nation's socio-economic development.

He stated that strengthening partnerships between the public sector, private industry, and academic institutions is essential to foster innovation, enhance skill development, and ensure the implementation of best practices in the engineering sector.

Embracing these innovations will not only ensure the continuous production of crude oil but also position Nigeria as a leader in sustainable energy production globally, he enthused.

On being elected to the fellowship grade of the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), he stated that it is a profound honour and a testament to his years of dedication, hard work, and contributions to the engineering field in Nigeria and beyond.

‘’It signifies recognition by my peers for the innovative solutions and leadership I have brought to the engineering sector. This accolade not only elevates my professional standing but also reinforces my commitment to excellence, innovation, and mentorship in engineering’’, he asserted.

He stated that his contributions to the NSE will leverage his experience as his ‘’ journey to this point has equipped me with a wealth of experience, insights, and a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the engineering sector. His portfolio of innovation, marked by over 40 U.S. patents, underscores his commitment to advancing the oil and gas sector through technology.

He asserts that he brings to the NSE a vision for transformative change, characterized by the adoption of cutting-edge technologies, sustainable engineering practices, and the development of a robust framework for professional growth and ethical standards. ‘’My leadership will focus on enhancing the skills of our members, fostering innovation, and advocating for policies that support the growth of the engineering sector in Nigeria.’’

The programme which was basically for Small and medium-sized enterprises since its inception has served as a major platform for the promotion of Nigerian-owned businesses and created several opportunities for SMEs to thrive and have access to the world through the global reach of NIFESAF ESUT.

Just like the previous editions, the fourth edition wasn’t any different; it featured an avalanche of exhibitions by several Nigerian businesses with guests who were ready to patronize them and a huge platform to publicize their businesses.

Speaking at the event, the Chairman of the Global Body— Nigerian Fellowship of Evangelical Students (NIFES) ESUT Alumni Fellowship, Mr. Fred Nnadike, said the essence of the business exhibition was to support and build a community of excellent, Christians who would be role models in their respective careers.

Nnadike who urged believers under the umbrella to keep the faith alive equally charged them to uphold ethical standards, sound corporate governance, and avoid sharp practices in their respective professions and business endeavors as ardent followers of Christ.

“We want to encourage what we produce and link our entrepreneurs to the global space. SMEs are indispensable for economic growth and development.

Idalah – Allison told newsmen that she was able to travel to different countries for business purposes, not by her academic certifications but by the salability of her skills in artwork and design.

“Nigeria is our only country, we must build it because the world is waiting for us to step out, and that is what we must all do collaboratively, however, our education curriculum should be designed fit- for -purpose” she asserted.

It will be recalled that Dr and Mrs. Daniel Olukoya of Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, were awarded judgment for defamation in the High Court on 13th April 2021 and then on 22nd October 2021 were awarded £100,000 damages against Maureen Badejo.
It was shocking for us to find out through our investigation that Maureen Badejo has not paid any of the sums due from the £100,000 since October 22, 2021, till date at a time she offered 500 pounds per month which mfm lawyer found ridiculous.

We remembered that On March 7, 2023, Dr and Mrs. Olukoya commenced bankruptcy proceedings against Maureen Badejo for her inability and failure to pay the punitive Judgement debt of such humongous amount - £100,000. Not even the GoFundMe she initiated to raise money from her blind followers could rescue her out of such global shame.

Sometime on October 19, 2023, to be precise, court hearing in the bankruptcy proceedings was held, and Maureen Badejo personally appeared. Following this hearing and, in the very certainty that a court order for bankruptcy would be made against her, Maureen Badejo moved with swift and on October 29, 2023, she applied to the UK Government Insolvency Service to make herself bankrupt.

We found out that by October 31, 2023, her application for self-bankruptcy was granted by the UK government. In short, MAUREEN BADEJO IS NOW OFFICIALLY BANKRUPT IN THE UK and same has been duly registered against her in the UK system as a chronic DEBTOR. Find below the document to prove this.

THE EFFECT OF BANKRUPTCY
Bankruptcy is an extreme measure that can affect one’s life in several ways:
1 You may lose valuable possessions.
2 your bankruptcy will be made public by been published in the London gazette, and in the insolvency register, which is demeaning
3 Your bank account maybe closed, and in some case one maybe restricted from having a bank account, or allowed basic bank account just to enable you store and pay money without accessing overdraft, credits, or loans. You cannot be the director of a company
4 you will have bad credit records.
5 your passport maybe be impounded, which means your passport will be taken from you
Let us not forget that she offered to pay a paltry sum of 500 pounds every month, of which MFM lawyers felt was a ridiculous approach, hence turned down her offer.

THE WALK OF SHAME

What better way can you define a GLOBAL SHAME, than for a self-acclaimed godsent Blogger who threatened a true Prophet and Servant of God for years with shame, to now be the one to suffer the shame by declaring herself bankrupt in the middle of a bankruptcy case, just to avoid the true shame of being bankrupt by MFM. This nefarious act is just to avoid payment of her huge debt to Dr and Mrs. Daniel Olukoya of MFM? It is worth pointing out that she is owing other institutions in the UK as published, but MFM is her largest creditor. Let other foolish "bloggers" learn from this.
FEMI OYEWALE – GOD will always stand for his own

Oil & Gas expert James Arukhe emphasizes that Nigeria needs collaboration between government and private entities, alongside strategic investments, to fulfil its domestic and international energy commitments.
"Meeting these obligations requires investments in infrastructure, technology, security, environmental sustainability, and human capital," Arukhe stated. "Policy reforms are also crucial."

He emphasizes the importance of achieving a win-win scenario for both parties: "Increased revenue for Nigeria can be achieved through mutual respect and collaboration, addressing both immediate operational efficiency challenges and long-term oil sector sustainability."
With a rich background as a senior engineer and educator, Arukhe has shaped the production operations of the world's largest oilfields, including those of Saudi Aramco, Shell, Chevron, Exxon Mobil, and Petro-Canada.

Arukhe's portfolio of innovation, marked by over 40 U.S. patents, underscores his commitment to advancing the oil and gas sector through technology. Notably, his patented turbine-powered pump systems for enhancing oil recovery, U.S. Patent No. 11,391,132, exemplifies his approach to tackling operational efficiencies and maximizing output, which could be particularly transformative for Nigeria's oil production landscape.

Arukhe stresses that private investment is contingent on government commitment. "Industry practitioners believe President Bola Tinubu's oil & gas experience and as Minister of Petroleum, is a positive step for the sector," he adds.

A distinguished lecturer for SPE (2020-21), Arukhe emphasizes the need for technological advancements: "Investments in digital oilfield technologies, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, and real-time monitoring systems are essential to optimize production processes and minimize downtime."

While facing pressure from the West to shift away from fossil fuels, Nigeria plans to continue exploration. Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Heineken Lokpobiri, recently stated this intention at an energy summit in Abuja.

Arukhe said Nigeria could adopt Brazil's model of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and policy reforms that spurred investments in deep-water oil reserves to enhance its oil production capabilities. Key strategies include streamlining regulatory processes for exploration and production licenses, offering fiscal incentives to attract private investment, and facilitating technology and expertise sharing between private firms and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

These measures, inspired by Brazil's success with Petrobras and international oil companies, could significantly boost Nigeria's oil sector, he added.

On environmental concerns, he stated that investments should focus on cleaner technologies like carbon capture and renewable energy integration. Implementing effective oil spill management systems and aligning with international environmental standards will minimize
ecological impact.

‘’These measures will contribute to sustainable operations, balancing production efficiency with environmental protection, and align with global climate change initiatives’’, he asserted.

FUNKE ASHEKUN EXPOSED AS SHE TRIES TO COIN STORIES TO BLACKMAIL MFM AND DK OLUKOYA

Just like pharaoh who was frustrated after all his schemes against the israelites failed and ended drowning at the Red Sea, Funke Ashekun is surely frustrated too as all attempt to blackmail the Mountain Of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM) Dr Olukoya failed woefully .
She has resorted to cheap direct blackmail against innocent people by trying to coin stories to dent the image of the Revered Man of God and the firebrand ministry.

In a new voice it made available to us, she was in pain as her scheme didn't work, Thus attacking the woman who refused to bulge the gimmicks.

Here is the voice note...

Hello sister, there is something going on right now that is making me to call you. You have to disclose who gave you information because you didn't call that brother again my sister. They called you, you didn't pick call. Right now that brother is dying, I can't tell you what he is going through. And you know how dangerous these people are, I don't expect you to go and disclose my source of information. If it's only me, I don't mind, I am not afraid of anybody and you people are disclosing my information and you know these people are in Nigeria. That brother that gave me your number is on the sick bed right now. He has been sick for weeks now. That is how Pharaoh operate, the armed robbers has been coming repeatedly, and all those living in that house ran away. You don't know how dangerous these people are, you are dealing with mafias. Sister, what you are doing is paining me, I preferred you could have called me and talked to me. I gave you an opportunity, I called you several times. You didn't call me, you went to the opposition to go and report. Sister, you didn't do very well because I didn't offend you. Everyone of those I spoke to are saying the same thing about your brother's death. We all know this man is a principality, if anything is confusing you, go and meet God and sort it out with God but what you did is really bad. I am really pained I know what that brother is going through right now. Sister what you really did is very bad, I never knew you before, it the Holy Spirit that sent me to expose this man, its bad oh, you had better go and meet God

Photonews: The Pop, Pageantry, Splendour As CMS Grammar School Takes The Grand Price Of N1 Million At DKO Secondary School Choral Competition

After several attempts to tarnish the image of Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries (MFM) and its founder, Dr. DK Olukoya, Funke Ashekun plans to seek asylum using false stories about the ministry has been finally exposed.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn6oyr-oaIg?si=m5nlDUnxOn2aAk6j

A few weeks ago on her UNSCRIPTURAL FALSE LOADED BROADCAST on Facebook and YouTube where she always retort lies to get viewers’ attention and seek for followers, all for the YouTube money, because obviously she is Jobless.
Funke let me introduce myself, I have been in the journalism industry for years, Reporting on Kingdom matters across the Nation and the African continent, if you do not know about my pedigree do your research before you come out to whip up unnecessary sentiments which is the usual way of blackmailers.

THE VERDICT

About the case she lost, She explained in her you-tube flick that the US court awarded $50,000 against her and in favor of the MFM in the US because the three attorneys employed by the church were able to argue in court that MFM USA is a corporate organization in the country which suffered losses and damages as a result of her programs. LIES!!! according to the report we gathered it was clear to the court that she had no evidence and reason whatsoever to slander and defame the ministry her baseless argument had no merit it was as simple as that.

SEEKING ASYLUM
Funke Ashekun has mastered the craft of lying and it appears the plans to seek asylum have been perfected ever since, she had planned to use MFM and DK Olukoya to get stories that would help her successfully seek the asylum she wants. Because why on earth will DK Olukoya come after you? According to your stories you have been having issues with the ministry for years, why would he wait till you leave the country before he comes after you, why didn’t he harm you for over 20 years that you were within reach , FUNKE REPENT and come back to God

You had nothing and still have nothing from our findings , you lived under his protections and financial support of the clergy man till you left the country, as a matter of fact you left the country still living in one of the ministries apartment , you weren’t a relevant person to the ministry in any way, apart from being in the music department , contributing almost nothing, everything you say concerning the ministry are cooked up fabricated lies, no one is after you and will ever be after you, you can tell these lies to the American Government but we all know the truth, and we hope they find out the truth as well and make the right decision because a man who is after your life will not take you to court and to make sense of it all it was the ministry that took you for the hearing. And you lost out-rightly.

LIES UPON LIES EXPOSED

I read an article a while ago with headline stating that FUNKE ASHEKUN HAS REPORTED MFM AND HER LEADER DK OLUKOYA TO THE AMERICAN POLICE alleging that somebody is after her life, what a hoax how can anyone be after the life of an inconsequential MGO wannabe
THE CANADA CRUSADE LIES

It would be recalled that in our previous article, we mentioned that she has put up this lie before , it was on the list of lies told in court by Funke Ashekun, lie number 21. In that same article we established that previous lies pedaled concerning the wife of DK Olukoya manifesting in a crusade as heard in the voice note conversation between the trio are from the pit of hell find attached the video from the Canada crusade , you will see shade Olukoya standing alongside Komolafe behind DK OLUKOYA while he was praying, contrary to been carried away by the ushers to a secret room, THESE ARE THE KIND OF PEOPLE ASHEKUN TEAM WITH IN THIS HER Dead End JOURNEY.

My intentions are not to tarnish or defame anyone but to tell the truth to the children of God. And I am not working for anyone or any ministry, my business is JOURNALISM, and I will always stand for the truth

FEMI OYEWALE we are still investigating and more voice notes and unveiling loading

Popular Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele redefined what love is when he gave out five cars to his church members and a journalist to celebrate his 21 days annual thanksgiving yesterday, 14th of February, 2024 which was also Valentine’s day.

February 14 has always been a day of philanthropic activities for Primate Ayodele and every year, he gives out cars to his church members and journalists.

Apart from the car gifts, he held the second edition of his palliative market which was launched last year to reduce the impact of economic hardship on Nigerians.

Just like the first edition, Prices of food items were crashed ridiculously in order to reduce the effect of economic hardship on the people. A bag of rice was sold for N20,000, a bag of beans was sold for N2,000, Tubers of yam were sold for N1,500, a bag of semovita was sold for N1,500, garri was sold for N3,000, a carton of Indomie sold for N1,500, wheat was sold for N2,000 and many more.

According to Primate Ayodele, the palliative market was a way to relieve Nigerians from the burden of economic hardship and to send a message to the federal government on the need to crash the prices of goods instead of other measures that are not benefiting the people directly. He advised that making food affordable for citizens will go a long way in reducing economic hardship.
He explained that the palliative method of approving a certain amount of naira to cushion the effects of economic hardship isn’t working because it is being embezzled by greedy politicians.

‘’The local, state and federal government should know that this is what we call palliatives. The palliatives they are doing at the government level isn’t done the right way because the citizens are not benefiting directly. The economic hardship will not reduce if the government doesn’t do palliatives the right way it should be done. Politicians should not control palliatives, it should be controlled by people who are closer to the people like leaders of religious institutions, that’s why palliatives can get to the right people’’

TRIXX NG reports that digital bank merchant; Moniepoint MFB has sent one of its customers to a new year of worries with a nonchalant customer service attitude, leading to the loss of a whopping N9.6 Million belonging to the customer.

It was an unfortunate incident that was borne out of a technical copulation between Moniepoint MFB and men of the underworld; the banking merchant was reportedly unavailable when they were needed to prevent dare-devils from accessing the customer’s account, thereby, rendering assistance to the invaders technically.

According to an X (formerly twitter) user who spoke to the customer, Usman Bankkole Olajuwon, the sad event happened on 27th of December when his phone was stolen with the balance of N9.6 Million naira in his Moniepoint MFB account. Immediately, He sent mails to Moniepoint MFB to block his account but none was attended to.

While the customer was unable to get any response from Moniepoint MFB, men of the underworld were able to reset his password and withdraw his money gradually. He proceeded to the bank the following Monday but as we speak, nothing has been done to it.

Apart from the failure of the bank’s customer service, this confirms that Moniepoint MFB isn’t capable of securing customer’s funds.

Below is the narration and proofs of deducted funds

How Land Speculators Are Setting Lagos Up For Climatic Crisis, Residents Risk Being Submerged

by Opeyemi
●How Illicit Sand-Filling Of Lagoon Fuels Climate Crisis

● Residents At Risk Of Been Submerged
Disaster looms on the coastal belt of Lagos as Land Spectators swoop on the sprawling estates and luxurious neighbourhoods dotting the panoramic expanse of Ikoyi. Consequently, residents panic against the backdrop of the distortion of the city’s master plan by land speculators working in cahoots with estate developers. The latter flagrantly spurn the policies and programmes of the state government which are geared to address climate change, thus aggravating the flooding and possible submerging of the state’s upscale neighbourhood.

One businessman messes with Mother Nature, and an entire city suffers the brunt of his misjudgment. Yet most businessmen hustle to shield themselves from the effects of their error in judgment. While this may seem probable in ideation, it is impracticable.

Thus at the real estate mogul’s unsettling of mother nature, chaos ensues, and the truth dawns on society like blisters of eternal damnation; everyone gets to understand that there are neither rewards nor punishments for provoking mother nature, just consequences.

Consider the terrifying case of Ikoyi Crescent, in Lagos, for instance, since land speculators and developers swooped on its waterfronts, sand-filling the Lagos lagoon and encroachment on the beautiful waterfronts that adorn the upscale neighbourhood, the area has been exposed to protracted flooding and erasure of its once sightly esplanades.

Recently, the residents of the highbrow Ikoyi Crescent, in Lagos, were jolted to see their waterfront awash with sand courtesy of the operations of an upstream dredger, whose equipment bore the insignia of “Dredging Atlantic.” They watched in abject horror as the sand-filling operations of the land speculator brought down the upscale quality of the neighbourhood; they rued the probability of seeing the lagoon succumb to the unregulated and unauthorised real estate venture.

Mortified by the ensuing consequences in terms of a possible loss of the aesthetics the lagoon offers their properties and an outlet for floodwaters, the residents petitioned the Lagos State government.

In 2017, a group, the Coalition of Concerned Citizens of Lekki, Ikoyi and Victoria Island, expressed similar trepidation, with its representative Olusegun Ladega, an architect, exposing the distortion of the Lekki drainage regional master plan “caused by the indiscriminate sand-filling of natural waterways.” According to him, the sand-filling of Lagos lagoons and oceans is causing coastal erosion, forcing water back to land. The Ikoyi Crescent residents observed that the realtors and developers sand-filling the lagoon close to their neighbourhood had no proof of an environmental impact assessment report. Ladega believed the Lagos government could do more, stressing that the inability of the environment, waterfront and physical planning ministries to “work together” has resulted in infringement and breach of environmental laws by the ministries’ poor enforcement of environmental laws, building regulations and town planning guidelines.

Lagos ministries at the heart of the matter

The Ministry of Waterfront Infrastructure Development directly oversees the waterfront. The Ikoyi Crescent residents said they made their observations known to the ministry. Neither the waterfront ministry, the Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development could tell what is going on in the Ikoyi neighbourhood. The environment ministry told THISDAY it did not approve the sand-filling of the lagoon, citing that it is not under its purview. The physical planning ministry did not respond to THISDAY’s inquiry.

However, the waterfront ministry replied to the newspaper’s inquiry, albeit unofficially.“They did not obtain approval from the ministry. The ministry did not give them any approval. When the ministry received complaints about their activity, a ‘stop work order’ was issued to them,” said an official of the waterfront ministry who spoke under anonymity.

The official did not state if the Lagos government would penalise or prosecute the trespassers.In October, the Commissioner for Waterfront Infrastructure Development, Yacoob Ekundayo Alebiosu, issued a ‘stop-work order’ on illegally built structures at Oyinkan Abayomi, Ikoyi, in the Eti-Osa Local Government Area, pending a review of any prior regulatory licences that may have been granted.Alebiosu had issued the order while inspecting several development sites along the waterfront corridor across Lagos, noting that the development violated the state’s regulations.

“The state government’s attention has been directed to the large unlawful development projects that have destroyed the area’s desirable waterfront scenery, putting the entire environment at risk of erosion and degradation,” said the commissioner. In November, the Lagos government announced that following the non-compliance with the ‘stop-work order’ issued earlier to a developer of an ongoing multi-floor residential building on Oyinkan Abayomi Drive, Ikoyi, it had sealed the site of the project ordering workers to vacate the building immediately.

While the commissioner admitted that dredging could be done in Lagos, Alebiosu emphasised that it must be done with control and caution not to disturb the ecosystem and endanger the lives and property of the people. Lagos is the smallest state in Nigeria, yet it has the highest urban population, 27.4 per cent of the national estimate (UN-Habitat). Lagos’ dominant vegetation is the swamp forest of the fresh water and mangrove swamp forests, both of which are influenced by its double rainfall pattern, making the environment a wetland region. The Lagos drainage system is characterised by a maze of lagoons and waterways, constituting about 22 per cent or 787 sq. km. (75.755 hectares) of the state’s territory. In 2020, the Lagos government, in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and C40 Cities, took bold steps to address the climate change scourge, which has become a defining environmental challenge to the state and several other parts of the world. But, the clandestine activities of realtors and developers seem to undo all the government’s positive steps.

What lies beneath

By 2030, an estimated 108 to 116 million people in Africa will live in low-elevation coastal zones—defined as areas 10 meters or less above sea level, a figure projected to double by 2060, according to the Africa Centre for Strategic Studies, noting that in the near term, North and West Africa will be most directly affected, comprising 85 per cent of the projected 100 million population affected on the continent, though every region is threatened. Egypt and Nigeria, with high-density metropolises near the coast, are anticipated to face the greatest population disruptions.

Home to at least 20 million people and expected to be the world’s largest city “by the end of the century, Lagos, a low-lying city on Nigeria’s Atlantic coast, also experiences the triple impact of perennial fluvial (river), pluvial (rainfall), and coastal flooding.”The centre explained that adding up the damages to assets, economic production, and mortality, the World Bank found the total cost of “just fluvial and pluvial flooding in Lagos is $4 billion annually,” pointing out that rising sea levels combined with high urbanisation will exacerbate future damage. It added that between 2020 and 2030, Africa’s seven largest coastal cities—Lagos, Luanda, Dar es Salaam, Alexandria, Abidjan, Cape Town, and Casablanca—are projected to grow by 40 per cent (48 million people to 69 million) compared with the continent’s overall anticipated increase of 27 per cent (1.34 billion to 1.69 billion).“Smaller coastal cities may expand even faster: Port Harcourt in Nigeria, for example, is expected to grow 53 per cent over this decade. Globally, Africa’s coastal regions are anticipated to experience the highest rates of population growth and urbanisation in the world,” said the centre.

Public-private collusion?

THISDAY contacted Dredging Atlantic, whose equipment was sighted working at the lagoon. There was a denial of involvement in the ruination of the lagoon beyond a commercial hire of their equipment by an unnamed realtor or developer.“That is false information (that Dredging Atlantic was the firm sand-filling the lagoon). I just made an enquiry, and it’s not Dredging Atlantic. They hired our equipment,” a representative of the company said. “But if you want to get clearer information, then go to the Lagos State Ministry of Waterfront Infrastructure Development. We don’t have any permit to work there. It’s not in our name.”

When the Dredging Atlantic official was told that the dredger on site belonged to Dredging Atlantic, his response was: “They hired our dredger.” However, “the company also undertakes various marine construction projects and geotechnical works; excavation offshore reclamation contracts; services for developing water installations for marine facilities and excavation contracts; drilling and deepening waterways, ports and marine installation,” according to information on its website.

A marine expert, Hakeem Ogunbambi, told THISDAY that it is unlikely private investors, realtors, and developers are carrying out the surreptitious sand-filling of the Ikoyi Crescent lagoon without the active collusion of Lagos government officials.“This reclamation is not being done by the private sector alone. They have their collaborators in the government. So, nobody can just take their dredger to the lagoon and begin to dredge or begin to do reclamation without the backing of some government officials.” Ogunbambi suggested that “those close” to Sanwo-Olu are not unlikely to be at the top of the food chain.

Nonetheless, the Lagos government is committed to the ideals of climate change. Last August, in a bid to combat and mitigate the effects of climate change in Lagos, Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu restated his administration’s commitment to working closely with experts, organisations, and the global community to ensure that Lagos remains at the forefront of climate action in Nigeria, admitting that “while we have made significant progress, there is still much work to be done since the challenges faced demand continuous innovation, collaboration and adaptation.”

The clandestine sand-filling of the Ikoyi Crescent lagoon will require “much work” from the Lagos government to stop unauthorised developers and realtors from wreaking havoc on the Ikoyi axis and its waterfronts. Lagos Lagoon is receding, no thanks to so-called speculators and developers illegally assuaging the appetite for upscale real estate with little or no regard for watercourse, town planning codes and safety, according to several Ikoyi residents.

Apprehensive residents worry that the indiscriminate sand-filling of the lagoon will aggravate the already perennial flooding in Ikoyi. According to THISDAY checks, several dredging activities along the lagoon shoreline are usually carried out at night, surreptitiously encroaching the waterfronts of some Ikoyi residents.

Realtors and developers are forming landmass by illegally sand-filling the Lagos lagoon and selling the land to unsuspecting affluent and sometimes influential figures.

Prophet Joshua Iginla, founder and senior pastor of the Champions Royal Assembly (Joshua Iginla Ministries), has released his prophecy for the year 2024. In his global prophetic warnings, he cautioned Tinubu against betrayals and medical emergencies. Iginla who is arguably the leading prophetic presently, globally spread his prophetic tentacles to major areas of life and several nations of the world. Here are snippets from his global prophecy for 2024. Excerpts Below:

In my vision, l saw something like a transparent glass and I saw a chimpanzee fish and human being in the same container. And God said to me there is something going on in the scientific world, like an experiment and the backlash of this will cause a lot of shaking . It's like a white community and this caused a lot of death. It's an evil agenda. The next battle that will shake the world is not a physical battle but biological weapons.

I see the alliance of the Brics Nation which involves Russia, India, Brazil, China, and South Africa. It will be stronger with other nations fusing towards them and will challenge other Western powers. This will be between 2024 and 2030.

I see the G7 nations such as Canada, Germany, UK , USA, Japan and others will experience a lot of backlash against poor economic policies.
They need to be careful.

I see technological advancement in the Nation of India and artificial intelligence breakthroughs. Other super powers will marvel. They will do things that will change the world

The cryptocurrency world will grow big and take another turn, especially in the next four years between 2024 and 2028. That those who are in that world will become multi-billionaires.

There will be major breakthroughs in the medical world between 2024 and 2032. There will be a cure to Some incurable disease. It will be a scientific breakthrough.

The Arab world will grow very strong. I meant countries like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Dubai. Don't undermine them.

China - I saw in my vision that China will wax stronger and will be feared by the super powers. I saw an insurrection and an attempt on the life of the president. He has to pray between 2024 and 2030. Pray against a triangular conspiracy. There will be an attempt to overthrow him.

Putin- President Putin needs prayer for his health and his life. His candle light is burning very fast.I see manipulation, a Messenger and I pray the power of a woman will not destroy a great giant.

America: President Biden means well for the US but needs to pray against internal enemies especially for this reelection. The female VP has a bright star with a strong political future. A lot of drama will happen in the political climate of America. And president Biden should pray to finish well.

Donald Trump - He is not someone I love as a person ( I meant his ideology) but as a prophet I will say he should not be undermined or looked down on . I saw a white horse and an American flag with nobody on it and I saw him closer to the white horse than other contestants.He is a factor that should not be undermined. If he picks his Republican ticket, what is ahead will shake the world. I will throw more light on him later.
African leaders should take the youth serious to avoid revolution that will chase them out of their palace . When this revolution starts the power of the gun and bullets won't be able to stop them.

African leaders should take care of their security operatives. Else, the news of the coup will be like rain. The coup last year is not the end.
2024 till 2026, the church will be more divided with pastors hating each other like they hate the devil. Many will backslide and secrets of many great men of God will be exposed and it will affect the faith of many young ones.
Unspeakable things will happen in the body of Christ that will dampen the faith of many. I see two major Generals of God taking home and one will come from the pentecostal.

In 2024, the economy of Nigeria will go through tough times. We will experience real changes in 2025. The incumbent government will try it's best but the prevailing factors will overwhelm them. It will look like what they know how to do but can't do it. This government is like a Saul to prepare the best level of where we are going, especially between 2024 and 2031.
This government will try but will battle the war of disgruntled politicians on unsettled political promises.. There's going to be crab movement between now and 2026 with lions trying to eat each other.

Unappeased Northern cabals are the forces I meant being them. Meaningful impact will begin from 2025.

The dollar will keep getting stronger and the Naira getting weaker.

President Tinubu should focus on his health to prevent medical emergencies twice. We pray God's agenda for him will come to pass.
Tinubu meant well but be careful of those he relies on as I see faithful people becoming unfaithful and betrayals. Friends before can become an enemy today.

There is the spirit of discernment on the first lady, the president should not throw away her counsels.

The national assembly will go through some shakings. They will make giant strides to enact laws and policies that will better the lot of the citizens.

The Senate president, Akpabio, needs prayers. He should pray against the forces against him and pray to finish his term. There will be a lot of scandals, things he least expected...

Taraba state: The governor will try his best to deliver on his promises but should work on his security architecture because of the attack I see coming. Pray not to be bereaved and pay more attention to your immediate families.

PLATEAU: The governor should pray. I saw his seat being occupied by another person. He should pray to finish what he has started. The governor meant well but the forces of darkness in Plateau state will not want him to succeed. He should rise not to only sustain his seat but his life too. He is a star in this country despite the issues surrounding him.

Kano: the governor should pray for his health and grace to sustain his seat. I see future riots and civil unrest due to the court judgment coming ahead.

River State: the governor is a good man and where God is taking him is big. He should be careful of his advisers. He should continue to follow the path of peace with his former boss. I see another storm coming ahead and I pray he finishes his term. There will still be storms that will try to thwart the path of peace he is towing.

Wike- The political destiny of Wike is very strong. I remember God said he is a factor in the scheme of things not because he is righteous or perfect but because of certain things attached to his destiny. He will face strong betrayals at the federal level and will face betrayals. Hard times are coming ahead of him. Will he survive it, yes he will.

Kogi- the newly elected governor will try to fulfill his electoral promises but there will be strong battles between him and his boss influenced by those who want him to fail earlier. No matter the prayers it will still surface. He will have trying times ahead.

Botswana- the current president will retain his seat in the 2024 election and will break more ground economically. He meant well for the country. He will see a lot of betrayals but it won't stop him. The rift in the opposition party will deepen because of selfish reasons and greed.

Namibia- I see the hand of God in that country. God will raise great prophets and will raise a lot of harvest economically. I don't know why I see a female at the helm of affairs after the current president. She will cause a great turn around.

South Africa - Like I said in the past Julius Malema will be a president or leader one day because it's in his destiny once he holds on to God and listens to constructive ideas and advice. In the forthcoming election the ruling party,ANC, will still hold the presidential seat and lose some strong holds to the opposition party. SA should pray against earthquakes and natural disasters. I see a lot of fire outbreaks and civil unrest between 2024 and 2026 so they won't be seeking Aids from nations they once helped.

Rwanda- the ruling party will still hold power but this re-election will bring a serious battle to the incumbent. I see insurrection and coup attempts. He should pray that what happened to other nations won't occur there.

South Sudan- there is already a revival coming to the churches in that country. They should pray against premature death of men between the age of 35 and 45. I see outbreaks of sickness without adequate provisions or medical facilities. The incumbent president will still be there but pray to finish what he started. He should pay attention to his health. It's only the living that can rule a nation.

Mozambique: There will be revival in the churches of that country but there is a need and a cry against division among ministers and churches. The key to turning things around is in their hands . The women should pray for their rights to be protected. I see massive violations of human rights of women. Most political leaders should ask God for mercy and great fall of some politicians unless they repent. The economy will grow strong but not as expected. The ruling party should not underestimate the opposition. I see a crop of young men in politics coming out strong but it won't stop the ruling party from winning if they seek God's face.

Togo: the pastors should pray as the watchmen are no longer watching. I see a great leader of the church being called to glory. The president meant well but will suffer betrayals and pray against poison attempts. Hard times are coming for him but he should guide against overconfidence.

Gabon- the leader that emerges through coup will try to fulfill his promises. He should pray against another coup attempt .
This is applicable to Burkina Faso too. The leaders of Burkina Faso should watch the month of June, August, November and the dates for
Burkina Faso like 22nd, 1-3rd, 8,9 and 10 of the months I mentioned.

Zambia- Pastors in Zambia should pray against marine world agents sent to cripple their works. I saw greatness coming out of zambia- and the spiritual fathers in Zambia should come out in unity and pray for that country. The key is in their hands. The government of the day should not look down on the spiritual fathers. Important government officials should pray against accidents that can claim their lives. The economic situation will still be harsh. The current president will try his best because he meant well, but there is a force in the state house that battles presidents. He should pray for the state house and fulfill his promises to citizens . God loves Zambia. He should spend his democratic dividends he promised zambians and avoid distractions. He should not make the opposition popular by his direct or indirect actions. He is not David but the saul. The real David is coming but I don't know when.

Angola: I see a serious rainfall. I see great men being called home.


South Korea: God is raising four people who will break ground than Pastor Youngi cho. The churches will begin to experience a great revival. The ruling powers will still hold on to power during the election but the person elected should pray for his health and to finish well.


Ghana: John mahama is a factor in the election and should not be undermined. There is a star on his head. Hard times are coming for the incumbent president after finishing his tenure. The prophetic is coming back to Ghana.

There will be climate change between 2024 till 2030.

There will be a surge of female ministers with strong Apostolic and prophetic mantle and will use foolish things to confound the wise.

The year 2023 started with palpable fears and anxieties as Nigerians were eager to know what the year had in stock for them especially since its general election period. These trepidations were further heightened by heart-quacking predictions from notable clerics who churned out diverse prophecies on why President Tinubu will not win the election. However, one notable voice stood out like a voice in the wilderness who insisted Tinubu will win the election as revealed by God. He said God revealed to him during his 2023 prophecies that there will be a win and gain here and a loss there and that concerning the presidential election, he sees the most criticized and hated candidate emerging winner under the permissive will of God.

That lone voice in the wilderness that has been adjudged the most accurate prophetic voice in 2023 is the clergy with the prophetic mantle and Abuja-based General Overseer of Royal Champions Assembly, Prophet Joshua Iginla.

Interestingly, even when most major religious leaders were prophesying something else, he stuck to his revelation that Tinubu is the major factor in the equation of things in the 2023 election.

It would be recalled that during his prophetic release for 2023 said God told him Tinubu would be a great factor in the forthcoming 2023 election. "God said something to me that is very deep. The man called Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a factor in the equation and you can not remove him and you cannot push him aside. You cannot drive him backward or push him aside, except God pull him out of the equation. You cannot remove him by human means. If you push him aside, you will know that a factor has been removed from the equation, the only thing that can move him is God. Only God stops him. I'm not speaking in favor of anybody but I'm saying what I've seen and will leave the rest for God," Prophet Iginla said.

And of a truth, the road to Victory for Tinubu in the just concluded 2023 election was tarred with twists and turns. It was a journey filled with betrayals from loyalists. At a point, his Victory looks like a mirage but the clergy's message keeps resounding clearly that Tinubu is the major factor in the equation. And it came as he accurately predicted.

Aside that, Iginla had predicted that Governor Wike would be a major factor to reckon with ahead of the last election. Wike’s name ricocheted audibly as the APC presidential candidate won the election in Rivers State in what many analysts ascribed to Wike’s impact. He had noted that the governor would play a major role in deciding Nigeria’s destiny. “Wike’s political destiny is not yet over; he will play a major political role in the destiny of this country, the star is on his head somehow. He should watch over his health too and avoid being poisoned. Like I said, Wike is a factor,” the prophet said. Infact, as stated, Wike was the first governor to have become a minister in the ruling party after leaving office despite being a major voice in the opposition. Also, his political relevance became obvious with what played out in Rivers state.

Furthermore, his prophetic warnings concerning Kaduna state, Benue State, Plateau state, Enugu state, Abia State, Cross River came to pass as he warned that as the election goes, the parties holding those states should be prepared and not be over confident so that we won't have surprises, and that the parties ruling the States like Rivers, Lagos, will retain the seats.
Another notable fulfilled prophecy of Iginla was the issues of the former CBN governor, Godwin Emefiele. IN his prophetic release in January 2023, he revealed that the CBN Governor should pray well because he sees hard times coming ahead of him. And everyone could attest to the inglorious exit, shameful arrest and detention of Emefiele.

Interestingly, Iginla was the prophetic voice who accurately predicted the major waves of military interventions we witnessed in several african countries in 2023. Among his prophetic release for 2023, he said, “I see military interventions in most African counties between now and 2028’’. He specifically mentioned the incident in Gabon will occur around August 2023 and it was so. Coups in Niger republic, Gabon amongst others attest to the fact that Iginla has become the most accurate prophetic voice in 2023.

Truth be told, Iginla has been a consistent accurate prophetic voice for a while now. He has become a global voice that is fearless, daring and unshakeable.

One of the foremost aspirants in the Ondo gubernatorial race, Engr. (DR) Funmi Ayinke Waheed-Adekojo has penned an emotional tribute for the ex-governor of the state, Rotimi Akeredolu who died yesterday Wednesday, 28th Of December, 2023.

Funmi Ayinke described Akeredolu as one of her political mentors, father and leader whom she looked up to due to the several exemplary features he possessed.

She described his death as a monumental loss to Nigeria while extolling the great characters of the late governor. She expressed grief at the loss of Akeredolu whom she further praised as a fierce politician who stood firm in the face of adversity and injustice.

She applauded the steps the late governor took when insecurity ravaged the South West zone and commended his efforts to restore security in the zone.

Furthermore, she sympathized with his family and political associates while praying that his soul rests in peace.

‘’With sadness in my heart, I mourn the passing of my governor, leader, mentor, Arakunrin Rotimi Akeredolu who was pronounced dead in the early hours of today Wednesday, 27th Of December, 2023.His death is a monumental loss to our dear country Nigeria, a great loss to Ondo state and painful loss to our dear party, the all progressive congress (APC)’’

‘’Akeredolu was a fierce politician who stood firmly in the face of adversity and injustice. He spoke the truth to power at all times and never stood on the side of inhumanity. When insecurity became a pandemic in south west zone, Akeredolu was very instrumental by championing the establishment of a joint security force, Amotekun, which has helped reduce insecurity drastically in the zone.’’

‘’Even when Ondo state came under heavy coordinated attacks, Akeredolu canceled so many political engagements to ensure the safety of his people. Indeed, he was more than a governor, he was our Father.’’

‘’At the national level, Rotimi Akeredolu was an epitome of fairness till the very end. His intervention in the build up to 2023 presidential
election will always be remembered for good.’’

‘’I sympathize with his immediate family and political associates. His demise came at a time we needed him more.’’

‘’Rest Well, Aketi. You will be greatly missed.’’

Joan Marques said It’s easier to take than to give. It’s nobler to give than to take. The thrill of taking lasts a day. The thrill of giving lasts a lifetime. Jesam Micheal embodies a selfless and sacrificial giver whose major focus is putting smiles on the faces of the less privileged, lifting people, reaching out to the forgotten and forsaken, and helping people interpret their dreams.
As his usual practice, Jesam Micheal celebrated his festive season with the patients in UGEP General Hospital in Cross River State. The humble and caring Philanthropist showed all the patients love each other and equally paid the hospital bills of all patients running into several millions. The joy and excitement on the faces of the patients, their wards, and the management of UGEP General Hospital was epic.

Like Leo Buscaglia once said too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. Jesam Michael truly embodied this when he visited the Virtuous women orphanage home at UGEP and brought tears of joy to their faces and ensured they experienced true love at such a time like this. He gave them a sum of 5 million naira and additional 750k by increasing the salary of the staff from 15k to 30k for six months.

The chief executive officer of Funmi Ayinke Nigeria Limited, Engineer (DR) Oluwafunmilayo Ayinke Waheed-Adekojo has urged Nigerians to be tolerant and pray for the country as we move into the yuletide season.

For Christians celebrating Christmas which connotes the birth of Jesus Christ, Funmi Ayinke urged them to pray fervently for the nation and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration while they celebrate.

The Ondo state governorship aspirant further acknowledged the hardship experienced in the country which will make many Nigerians celebrate the yuletide season in a low-key manner, she assured that the coming year will be better and bigger for everyone in the country.

She expressed confidence in President Tinubu’s administration while urging Nigerians to remain patient and remain hopeful till the better days surface.

‘’As we celebrate Christmas, I want to urge Christians and every Nigerian to remain tolerant and prayerful even in the midst of the economic hardship that is affecting several people. As Christians, it is important to exude the characters of Jesus Christ, who is being celebrated, by praying for the peace of Nigeria.’’

‘’ We should understand that Christmas isn’t about celebrations alone but a time to reflect on the activities of the year and plan adequately for the coming year. While celebrations are going on, please remember to pray for a better Nigeria in the coming year.’’

‘’I understand many of us may not be able to celebrate Christmas in an elaborate manner due to the hardship that has spread across the country but one thing is certain; President Tinubu’s administration will be better for everyone in the coming year.’’

‘’ I want you all to remain hopeful and patient till the better days surface. I wish you all a prosperous Christmas and happy new year in advance.’’
