Moment a Cherubim and Seraphim Church bishop in South West Nigeria participated in unusual ordination ritual.

Many commentators have been asking “How did we get here”, When did this become a norm in the church?” Another reader reacted, “This is disturbing, there’s no biblical basis for this kind of anointing”.

While some argue that different denominations have unique traditions that should not be condemned outright, others insists that the act is misleading and goes against Christian teachings.

The debate continues with many calling for greater scrutiny of religious practices in Nigeria.

However, the church has distanced itself from individual involved, emphasizing that they are not members of the Cherubim and Seraphim Unification Church of Nigeria and do not represent its doctrines or values.

In a statement addressing the controversy, the church expressing deep dismay over the disturbing content of the video, describing it as “horrific” and “despicable before God and man”, the church noted that while it would not ordinarily respond to such incidents, it was compelled to speak out due to their mention of its revered founder, St. Moses Orimolade Tunolase, and the unauthorized use of C&S symbols in the video.

Furthermore, the church addressed common misconceptions regarding white-garment churches, emphasizing that not all individual dressed in white are members of the C&S organization.

“It is easy for anyone to purchase white garments and claim affiliation, but true members of the Unification Church are recognized by the church leadership”, the statement read.

Yestogood:
The blood of Kaduna Christians is forever against el Rufai.
Yes, many are trying to downplay it, but the brazen bloodshed is never going to be pushed under the carpet. Blood is sticky for a reason.
Along with Buhari and Buratai, the immediate past governor of Kaduna will inherit Divine judgment along with boko haram and all the other terrorist sponsors, foot soldiers, supporters and sympathisers, IN JESUS NAME!

Our dear great president.

The presidential candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2019 and 2023 general elections, Omoyele Sowore, has expressed his determination to win the 2027 general elections against President Bola Tinubu and others.

The human rights activist and pro-democracy campaigner stated this on Saturday while speaking with journalists at the 2025 and the 3rd ECOWAS-Abuja International Marathon.

He said the race he is looking forward to win will happen soon and is the one that will involve President Bola Tinubu and others where he will claim the ultimate prize.

Sowore, who also participated in the 5km race, said Nigeria has a lot to gain by tapping into sports which can bring as much as earnings that the oil is bringing to the economy. He commended every runner for displaying the spirit of participation while urging the government to invest in other sports like swimming, snooker, javelin, shot put and others.

“Everybody that ran here is high-profile. It takes a lot of energy to run 5km. I think I know what you mean. One of the people who should be on the high table but running. I think I didn’t want to win because I want others to win. I just want to participate.

“The race I want to win is happening soon. The race in which you put me, Tinubu and others and I can collect this prize. We see who wins in that one.

“The spirit is participation and that is the most important. We did Lagos some two weeks ago and this is Abuja. And that every town, city, every village would have marathon race.

“Instead of going after oil and sharing oil money, maybe people should invest more in sports in every sector. Running, swimming, snooker, javelin, shot put. We can even do Winter Olympics. You know Nigerians can do anything and that is why we deserve better leaders that we have here,” Sowore said.

Which kin legal gymnastics be this one?

Let's even assume the matter was not before the SC, but now that the learned justices have effectively ruled on it, are they expecting a lower court to counter the judgement?? 😧

Jakumo:
No forovlen Megida. I just talk am say na for inside cage be monkey house.

Abbeytoy:
O at might not believe he works against him until there was an intelligent report against him. We all know he’ll be the government if there was not a confirmation of him working against the party.

I really like him, but I believe Pbat and the rest know the best.

PulaPower:
E be things..

AMINDA:
A fact that seems lost on you, Tinubu supporters. If it was solely based on number of states won, Tinubu would have never been President. Did you all think Atiku was a small candidate in 2023? Northerners sincerely came out to vote for Tinubu just to end up having you throwing dust on their faces. Well, time is a gentleman.

AMINDA:
No need for any long explanations. He lost Lagos, his own base and that's all that matters. Obi won Anambra and Atiku won Adamawa. The margin is irrelevant because Lagos was largely a two-horse race (APC and Obi) unlike Kaduna that was a three-horse race with Atiku (a fellow Northerner), Obi (the Candidate for all Christians) and Tinubu (muslim-muslim ticket was his only saviour). My point remains, why do you accuse Elrufai of working against Tinubu and the same is not directed at Akpabio, Gbaja, Ganduje, Ribadu, Bagudu, etc who all lost their states too.

Tinubu's margin of almost 400k in Kaduna is still larger than two Southwest states combined. Besides, despite Tinubu losing most northern states to Atiku, he still won the North overall (in terms of margin) getting 5.6m out of his total 8.3m from the North. Northerners are not buying this claim of you all saying Elrufai worked against Tinubu because they know it to be untrue. Rather, all Elrufai's opponents (who worked against the APC in 2023) have now been invited to the table to eat where he toiled to deliver his party's candidate. It is gross betrayal!

OkCornel:
Good

loffyloffy:
Dude, he lost by only 10,000 votes—that's crazy close! It could've gone either way.

In the West, Lagos would be a swing state leaning APC, like always.

Most of the Southwest is the same; people there aren't locked into one party.

Given Lagos' demographics and all the drama around BAT, he did pretty well to get those votes.

And he's smart; he knows it's about the total, and his people delivered where it counted, except maybe Rivers where I am not sure we can trust that report.

Take out Rivers, he still wins hands down

Aonkuuse:
El Rufai tested his popularity with the recent comment on the president but he discovered that he's nothing in Nigeria's politics.

Smartwave:
El Rufai never support PBAT.
He thought is good at the game, but lo and behold, he met his Master gamers.

JAMO84:
Is he trying to argue with the Supreme court now?

descarado:
She is doing what she was told to do or else she will be replaced. So many lined up to take her place.

All the wives of these politicians see hell but pretense is the order of the day. As usual, they said its better to be sad in a big man's house than a poor man.

Righthussle:
There is a thin lin between foolishness and smartness.
