Celebrities / King-atupa: Will Zenith Bank Reward Creative Participant. by black9: 2:53pm On May 17, 2021
The trending "I Need 5k" ad for Zenith banks latest promo offer, shot in Araromi market- Iju just didn't sit well with King Atupa.

He'd been unwittingly involved during the shoot at Lacasera's shop at Araromi market sometimes last month. The large beautiful illustration depicts a fashion designer repeatedly giving out 5k, Aboki meshai tending his business; woman selling garri and her customer. But one image in particular easily caught everyone's attention.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0b3VFKyVo0

A slim barber working outdoors is shown with his attention occasionally shifting to the borrower, as if wondering "what's going on here", Atupa said "I felt so weak, though the experience weakened me but the advert gave me hope"

A fashion designer at his shop is shown repeatedly doling out 5k to people in need, with his senses tingling after each request. Then he finally challenges the next borrower "I no go give you that money until you tell me wetin you wan use am do". Then the lady in need tells him "na Zenith bank o, dey give 30,000 worth of equipment to 50 of dem customers every week"

"I can actually do more than what they used me for, I believe that much in myself for sure, let them just interview me" A dancer, model, musician, actor and all round creative artist, King Atupa Aje Ayomi, whose real name is Oyenekan Eniola Michael, believes so much in his lofty aspirations that he's named it, Aim4Africa.

Inspired by God, and a big fan of Wizkid and Justin Bieber, Atupa says about his hustle "Though my hustling is not balanced as I wish, I believe one day God will bless my hustle so I can be a helper. And two years from now, I will be a king. As my name implies, King ATUPA AJE AYOMI trust me on that. I have a very bright future."

Politics / Israel Shall Never Fall!- Femi Fani-Kayode by black9: 10:15pm On May 16, 2021
On May 14, 1948, the day the British Mandate expired, the new Jewish state, known as the State of Israel, was formally established in parts of what was known as the British Mandate for Palestine.

With the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, Jewish independence was restored after 2,000 years.

This was a fulfillment of biblical prophecy. After they suffered 2000 years of hardship and turmoil, God honored His word to the sons of David, gathered them together, gave them back the land of their forefathers and restored them again.

I congratulate the Jewish people on the 73rd anniversary of the establishment of the Jewish State.

Permit me to touch on the events that are unfolding in Gaza today.

I deplore the killing of civilians, particularly children, but the State of Isreal reserves the inalienable right to defend itself.

The Hamas-controlled Gaza strip provoked the situation it has found itself in and deserves the robust and aggressive response that it is getting.

On its own part the Fatah-controlled West Bank will get worse if it does not stop attacking the Jewish state. Southern Lebanon will also be hammered if Hezbollah does not stop shooting rockets into Israel.

The bitter truth is that Hamas started all this and the State of Israel will finish it. I trust Benjamin Netanyahu for that.

The Jewish State has never been defeated in any war since it was established in 1948 and she NEVER will be. This is a fact that the Arabs and their allies fail to appreciate. It is not the Iron Dome that protects Israel, it is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Both Southern Lebanon and Gaza were taken by military might and fully occupied by Israel during a series of wars with the Arabs.

Southern Lebanon was returned to the Lebanese in 2000 and the Gaza strip was returned to the Palestinians in 2005 both as part of a wider peace deal.

Ever since then both territories have been under the control of Iranian-backed terrorist organisations, namely Hamas and Hezbollah respectively, and they have been constantly used as a launching pad for rocket attacks on the Jewish state. They have also both refused to acknowledge the right of Israel to exist or to defend herself.

They have said it over and over again that it is their intention to wipe the Jewish state off the face of the earth. Iran has echoed the same sentiment.

Worse still the rabid and inexplicable hatred that both Hezbollah and Hamas have for Jews and Christians is deplorable.

This is unacceptable and in my view it is time for the Israelis to consider taking both territories back by force, occupying them once again and annexing them permanently.

No nation deserves to have a terrorist group whose intention is to commit acts of genocide against its citizens living on its borders and as its neighbour.

A final word for those that hate the Jews: Israel shall never fall and she shall be blessed until the end of time.

A long range rocket cost $10,000 USD, poor Hamas fired 470 in just a day ..

Major people that made profit are countries who make weapons ("powers that be), not Isreal or Palestinians

Boko Haram uses AK47 with unit cost $600 USD per rifle, they use anti aircraft guns, and multipurpose machine guns with unit cost of $5000 USD.. question is who benefits from all this huge money expended on war if not the "Powers that be"

"If any nation can be described as being 'fantastically corrupt' & built on nothing but violence, coercion, fraud, deceit, doublespeak & subterfuge, it is Britain & not Nigeria"- @realFFK

A slowpoke CALLED DAVID CAMERON & THE HYPOCRISY OF THE BRITISH https:///VCzozlMbsR AN slowpoke CALLED DAVID CAMERON AND THE HYPOCRISY OF THE BRITISH

The slowpoke called David Cameron, who is a former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, needs to be taught a lesson or two. He also needs to be reminded about the sordid and filthy history of his country.

Just one example will suffice. The powers that "saved" Libya from Mu'ammer Ghaddafi, including France, America and Great Britain, are now lifting oil and gas from Libya without payment!

They have also looted Gaddafi’s foreign reserves in excess of US$700 billion dollars!

What could be more corrupt, perfidious, monstrous and evil than this? You took over another country and left it in chaos for the sole purpose of pillaging, sharing and stealing its resources. And this happened under Cameron's watch as Prime Minister!

Again when he was Prime Minister Cameron described Nigeria as being "fantastically corrupt". When I listened to him say this on the BBC I didnt know whether to laugh or cry.

His debilitating insolence and staggering hypocrisy reflected the deep and inherent racism and double standard that his ilk are known to stand for and represent.

What else can you expect from an individual that is one step removed from peasant stock and is little more than a grasping and ill-bred plebian who made good?

What else can you expect from a man who failed to make it into Harrow and ended up going to Eton?

What else can you expect from a man who couldn't make it into Cambridge an ended up going to Oxford?

Cameron has always been second best, has always attended the second best and has always had the second best.

He has never been the best or had the best in his entire life: he has been a distant second all the way. He was also a second rate Prime Minister of a second rate and fading Western Power which lost its glamour and glory many years ago.

There was nothing great, Churchillian or Thatcherite about David Cameron. Even Tony Blair, with all his resplendent self-serving mendacities, shone like a bright star when compared to him.

Cameron and his "Englander" brothers are the last people that should judge or cast aspertions on Nigeria and the Nigerian people. This is especially so given the fact that they contributed immensely to many of our problems.

The truth is that in the history of the world there is no country on earth that has been more viciously overbearing, manipulative, calculating, self-serving, subversive and corrupt than the United Kingdom.

If you doubt that find out what they did to India, Africa, China, the Middle East, Indo-China, the Caribbean, Ireland, the United States and all their other colonies for over 100 years before independence, find out their role in the slave trade, find out how much "corrupt" money from "corrupt" Third World leaders they have insisted on keeping in their banks and find out why the City of London is known as the money laundering capital of the world till today.



The United Kingdom's wealth, power and economy, over the last 200 years, was built on the sweat, blood, treasure and labour of African slaves, Indian resources and all manner of loot and treasure stolen from her former colonies.

Without those colonies and the pillaging, raping and enslaving of other nations in the name of expanding the frontiers of the "great" British Empire, the United Kingdom would have just been a little known island in the North Sea and she would have amounted to little or nothing.

These are lessons that imbeciles like David Cameron still need to learn. If any nation can be described as being "fantastically corrupt" and built on nothing but gratuitous violence, coercion, fraud, deceit, hypocrisy, piracy, doublespeak and subterfuge, it is Great Britain and not Nigeria.

Celebrities / Men: 5 Women You Must Not Bang. by black9: 3:02pm On May 15, 2021
Founder of Alabaster International Ministries, Prophet Kofi Oduro has dropped a bombshell on the kind of women, every man must avoid having sex with.

And in accordance with the PLEX SYStem (Save Your Sperm Theory Of Emancipation), which strongly advocates sexual continence and semen retention, we thought it was a topic worth sharing.

Meanwhile Radio Queen Ife Ajagbe joins Titilope Odelola to voice against Rape on Celeb Stopover

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkQhiSqXktg

In the post published by Prestige news online platform, Prophet Kofi Oduro noted that these set of women contribute to curses on a man’s life when he sleeps with them but if a man can avoid bedding these women, by God's grace he will enjoy his lengthy days on earth.

1. Another Man's wife.
The first on the list is someone else’s wife. He said that it’s a curse to bed another man’s wife.

He said, “A man and his wife live in a house. And you come in to sleep with his wife when he travels for work. When the man returns, the wife pretends everything is okay. If you want to live long, don’t go close to a married woman.” he warned

2. Pregnant Women
He continues by admonishing men who sleep with pregnant women, especially when the unborn baby doesn’t belong to him. Already, in several African cultures it is considered a taboo to sleep with already pregnant females and it's spiritual consequences is said to involve really bad luck.
 
3. Widows
Widows are among the most vulnerable set in every society, sometimes loneliness, poverty and other factors can push them to the hands of ravagers, but this prophet against men courting or having sex with a woman still in mourning.
 
4 & 5- Mother and Sister
The two final groups of women are his mother and sister, of which Prophet Oduro swore that incest is a grievous taboo that can "kill a man before his time".

The prophet maintains that fornication and adultery is the number one killer of men. While PLEX SYSTEM suggests masturbatory or orgasmic discharge of Sperms is responsible for a lot of deficiencies in the mental and spiritual growth of Men.

Well, kindly share your thoughts on this as you subscribe to Celeb Stopover on YouTube!

Celebrities / Scripture To Ponder- Look Up by black9: 3:56pm On May 14, 2021
Scripture To Ponder
Exodus 25:9-10.


There are occasion when the enemies think they have their plans all worked out. They may think they have laid their siege around a child/the children of God, that they are walled in and there is no way of escape. However, God the great deliverer neither sleep nor slumber, the cry of his children always strikes the chord of His compassion. He rouses himself like a man of war and come speedily to the aid of his own.

Just at that moment when they think the child of God will sink and drown, God creates a pathway to safety and victory. The table turns suddenly and the hunter becomes the hunted. The enemies are drowned, never to rise again.

Cheer up child of God, look up and look ahead. Follow your heavenly Father's lead and move on to the place of joy and rest. Take your tambourine and begin to dance the dance of awesome deliverance and Victory. Shalom!

Celebrities / The Name of Jesus is not a Christian Slang- Osigbesan by black9: 6:50am On May 10, 2021
Sunday morning's charge concerning Remembrance Prayer by Sister Florence at Gracemade Christian Center is indeed a reminder of God being the ultimate manufacturer.

Psalm 40vs1: Gen. 30vs22: Psalm 106vs4. Esther. 6vs1. John. 1vs1-3. Matt. 4vs19.

"Whatever you're going through or aspiring towards, He has the manual on how to get, manage and sustain it. There is always what to do and how to do it. You can remain at a point if you dont know how to do what to do. Remember, in the beginning, nothing was created without the word, everything in our hearts was created by Him- God. It is only the blessing of the Lord that maketh rich. No matter what it is, anything without God comes down. So ask yourself, what do you really have, please return to your manufacturer" Sister Florence pleaded with Change agents and guests gathered inside Durban Hotels banquet hall.

The Graced Psalmist (Gracemade's uniquely unusual Choir) took over with music ministration, sweetly singing "Victory belongs to Jesus", prophetically ushering the Topic of the month by Pastor Seun Osigbesan titled "Victorious- this month's teaching series on Believers Authority and Ovecoming Life's Challenges"

John 9vs3-5

Gracefully paying homage to the memory of late Dare Adeboye who passed on at age 42, lead Pastor Osigbesan briefly highlighted the concept of heaven "Graced Psalmist took us to heaven, don't try to miss heaven and make sure to get there because heaven will be sweet. Also we must ask ourselves at every point in time, what will be the impact I've made with my life. Whatever impact you can make with your life, now's the time to follow it, don't wait till tomorrow- unless God says so".

Victorious
Ephesians 6vs10-18:

Continuing from last Sunday's teaching, Pastor Seun Osigbesan emphasized today's teaching on the need to be aware of our predetermined victory in Christ and how to use your victory tools.
"God desires for us to live a life above the devil and we need to appropriate that victory, using the armor of God."

1. Helmet of Salvation:
Helmets are a form of safety and Christ is our helmet to withstand the fiery darts of the weekend. It is activated when we give our lives to Christ.

2. Breastplate of Righteousness
(Romans 5vs17: 2Cor. 5vs21)
Guilt and self condemnation gives the devil advantage but come to the understanding of God loves you too much, irrespective of your situation and as long as you have a right standing with God. Also bear in mind that God of favor is not fair (Romans 9vs14)


3. Name of Jesus-
(Philipians 2vs10-11: Acts 3vs6)
Is not a Christian slang, neither is it a cliche nor exclamation. It is the most powerful name on earth and the tool to enforce our victory against the devil. But a lot of people have not been trained and thats why they abuse it. It takes revelation to attempt, of which revelation is gotten in the place of deep meditation and meditation is effective in the place of fellowship, which in turn enables a deep walk with Christ. Whatever you say not supported by revelation will bounce back
.

In all, we learned that the first response in the midst of crisis should be Jesus.

After the spiritual enlightenment by Pastor Seun Osigbesan, his beautiful namesake wife and screen icon, popular as Jenifer on The Johnsons TV series stepped up on the pulpit to deliver interesting announcements

"Victorious continues next week Sunday, while the monthly Refresh comes up on Thursday, 27th of May on Mixlr."

The atmosphere quickly went wild with jubilation when Jenifer announced Gracemade's 3rd anniversary celebration where "Mike Abdul will be ministering through music and Pastor Seun Osigbesan himself, will be ministering the word"

Politics / Nigerian Youths May Have Misplaced Their Priorities - Daniel Ogoloma by black9: 6:41am On May 10, 2021
British-Nigerian youth advocate, inspirational speaker and political consultant Daniel Ogoloma has bemoaned the gross misplacement of priorities among some Nigerian youths.

During his recent visit to Nigeria, the Nigerian political consultant, once again had close interactions and a general observation of the attitude of many Nigerian youths towards important issues that border on their socio-economic and political future. He had firsthand experience of the lukewarm stance being taken by youths over matters that can determine their individual and collective survival.

He discovered that while some of these regrettably reckless decisions by the youths are taken out of ignorance and exuberance, some of them are actually deliberate acts of pleasurable indulgence.

During one of his close encounters with some youths and youth leaders, Ogoloma lamented what he called, “the lackadaisical attitudes of many youths towards their civil responsibilities and nation building.” He noted that while a few section of the youth population is interested in matters of nation building and are striving to contribute their efforts, majority of the youths are not only displaying apathy, they are channeling their time, resources and energy into a wide range of unproductive, illicit and even time wasting ventures and activities.

His words: ”Sadly, this misplacement of priorities is not only distracting the youths from the collective goal of building a progressive nation, it has costly consequences which are capable of jeopardizing the future of the country if the status quo remains.
Daniel gave example of internet engagement by the youths. He agreed that while some young people use the internet for legal, innovative and productive purposes, a large number of them use the same medium to perpetrate illegal activities such as internet fraud, social media trolling and cyber bullying. While he emphasized that he has nothing against fashion and entertainment progammes like musical concerts and reality Tv shows, Ogoloma expressed his concern at the amount of involvement and level of attention invested in these activities by the youths, when compared to their lack of interest in matters like politics, leadership, education, etc.

He acknowledged the importance of entertainment but urged the youths to show the same level of interest, commitment and expend the same amount of energy given to such entertainment programmes on important socio-political issues.

He wondered why young people would prefer to attend musical concerts to intellectual forays, spend hours glued to their televisions and spend their resources to vote for house mates in reality tv shows but would not come out during elections to vote for qualified and competent leaders or participate actively in nation building activities. Daniel warned that ,” The cost of this apathy towards important socio-political issues among the youths might be too grave to bear.”
He therefore advised young Nigerians to brace up and redirect their energy positively towards building a better Nigeria for all.
