PASTOR ADEBOYE AND THE ENTIRE RCCG FAMILY MUST HEAR THIS

Pastor Titi Akindayomi has spoken with painful clarity: “Some top pastors and many people don’t know that my father is the founder of RCCG. His name and legacy must not die.”

A founder’s legacy should never be invisible inside the very church he birthed.

Daddy GO, Pa Josiah Akindayomi heard God. He obeyed. He built RCCG from nothing. And when the time came, he chose you ahead of your Sunday School teacher, ahead of senior pastors, ahead of the men who had served for decades. He could have ignored God’s voice. He could have handed the church to his family. He didn’t. He trusted you completely.

Today, Redeemer’s University has named the VC Lodge after Pastor E.A. Adeboye. It has named the Faculty of Basic Medical Sciences after Pastor Adeboye and Pastor Folu Adeboye. Honor has been given visibly, publicly, institutionally.

But the founder remains unnamed.

Without Akindayomi, there would be no RCCG.
Without RCCG, there would be no Redeemer’s University.
A legacy like that should not be silent.

Some people may say “God has not told him yet.” That is a lie. God will not speak where He expects you to exercise sound judgement. Even politicians and people of the world do not forget their godfathers, so why is it difficult to rename the university after the man who founded the entire mission?

And let me be clear: I do not support turning churches into family businesses or handing ministries to children. But if Rev. Josiah Akindayomi had made his children trustees,while still handing over to Adeboye, we would not be here today begging for Redeemer’s University to carry his name. Look at Joseph Ayo Babalola University. Look at Benson Idahosa University. Their founders’ names stand because their structures protected their legacy.

Founders must learn from this. Kumuyi, Oyedepo, Olukoya — legacy must be secured before you are gone. This is why I advised Pastor Kumuyi to include his children among the trustees. Not for inheritance. Not for power. But for protection of the work God committed to his hands. When founders fail to secure continuity, strangers may rewrite history.

Legacy is not automatic. Legacy must be protected.

Dear Pastor Adeboye, the daughter and family of your late father in the Lord are asking for his legacy to be preserved. Please rename Redeemer’s University after Rev. Josiah Akindayomi. Let the founder’s name stand. Let his memory live. God bless you.

“Don’t you understand simple English”?
You really asked me that question?
What!

“…I’m hening 2.5 million naira…”.

Why don’t you rather say “I am chickening 2.5 million…”?

Oga English, the word is “earn” and not “hen”. No be only hen, na fowl.

I earn.
I am earning.
I earned.

I hope you learnt something now.

look at you. You're not even current in English. Boat words hen and earn are correct and the same. One is British English, while the other one is American English, I chose to use the American English which is my mother tongue.

Yinmu! I prefer and love to have my eba, akpu and pounded yam late in the night when no visitors will come to eat with me. All die na die. Whether you eat late or not, you must die We only die once.

ADDRESS BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE CATHOLIC BISHOPS' CONFERENCE OF NIGERIA DURING A COURTESY VISIT TO HIS EXCELLENCY, PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, GCFR ON 28 JULY 2026

PARTNERS IN BUILDING A JUST, PEACEFUL AND PROSPEROUS NIGERIA

Mr. President,

1. Greetings: I bring you warm greetings and prayers from all the members of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria. I am Archbishop Matthew Man-Oso Ndagoso, the Archbishop of Kaduna and the newly elected President of our Conference. I thank you immensely for granting us this audience, which offers us the opportunity to share with you some of our observations and genuine concerns about our country. This ensures the continuity of our collaborative engagement in the task of building a healthy nation that all of us would be proud to belong to: “a nation of justice, love and peace.”

2. The Visit of Archbishop Gallagher: Your Excellency, may we use this opportunity to express our gratitude to you and the Ministry of External Affairs for the warm reception that you gave to the Holy See’s Secretary for Relations with States and International Organisations, Archbishop Paul Gallagher, during his recent visit on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between the Holy See and the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We, as Nigerians and Catholics, are happy to share the two identities and proud of the healthy and unbroken relations between the two states. We believe that the relations will bear perceptible fruits for Christianity and Christians in our country. This, Mr. President, is a time when many Christians have legitimate concerns about their place in Nigeria, especially regarding the departure from the Christian/Muslim presidency, and we hope that, through deliberate government policies, those concerns will be addressed and Christians will be reassured of their rights as citizens. We expect that you will take steps to soothe frayed nerves and address the concerns.

3. Quality tertiary education and the challenge of limited spaces: Mr. President, Sir, you have shown a commitment to giving hope and succour to our youth through NELFund, the Student Loan Initiative. This deserves commendation. Unfortunately, by global standards, Nigeria does not as yet have enough universities to cater for a bulging youth population. Only a tiny fraction of the persons seeking admission into the university actually get it, owing to limited number of places available. We therefore hope that the recent moratorium placed by the National Universities Commission (NUC) on the establishment of new private universities does not cancel out the gains of NELFund.

4. Sustaining the gains of the democratic experience: Mr. President, on matters of the state, we are genuinely concerned by fears expressed across the country on the fate of opposition politics. You have a track record of having been in active opposition. Many voices are screaming over what they consider to be the constriction of the political space, with some fearing that a one-party state is being anticipated. Whether these fears are genuine or not, can only be tested by the signals citizens receive from Your Excellency as the leader of the party in power. To this end, we urge you to encourage elected political office holders who are members of your party – Governors, members of the National Assembly, Local Government Chairmen – to ensure that a genuine level playing field is maintained and that focus is placed on making everyone see that the rules and processes are fair to all and respected by all. As a man who risked so much in the struggle for the return of democratic rule in the dark days of military dictatorship, your greatest legacy would be the strengthening of our democratic institutions.

5. Credible elections for the avoidance of disaster: Furthermore, there have been growing concerns about the electoral processes. We note the efforts being made to ensure that the elections are free, fair and credible. Sadly, there is an increasing feeling of disenchantment with the clear manipulation of the electoral processes, and the collective feeling that people’s votes do not count. Lower voter turnouts are a mark of distrust in the electoral processes. It is our hope that you be on the forefront in demanding that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, delivers credible elections, to ensure that Nigeria is set on the path of national development and integrity. This ought to start with making voters’ cards easily available to all eligible voters and end with election results that reflect the true choice of Nigerians. Adequate and timely funding of INEC is required to ensure that the Agency inspires the confidence of citizens. Anything short of transparent, free, fair and credible elections in 2027 would be an invitation to avoidable disaster against which all well-meaning Nigerians have been praying. We urge that the conduct of the political class should be in tune with the voices we lift to God in prayer.

6. But we need to be alive and secure first: Mr. President, we congratulate you for the recent successful release of the kidnapped school children and their teachers in Oyo State. The arrest of some of the kidnappers and their speedy prosecution is one of the few positive indicators of what a willing government and its agencies could do to protect the life and property of the citizens. We commend you for this and for other such cases in recent times. Unfortunately, these remain few and isolated exceptions. Our nation still remains a favourable destination for terrorism, banditry and high levels of insecurity that threaten our collective existence. Schools, places of worship, homes, farms, rural roads and highways. Nowhere is safe anymore, as bandits and criminals freely carry away scores of worshippers and schoolchildren, even in broad daylight undisturbed, kidnap and butcher simple as well as high profile citizens mercilessly and unapologetically. Our sovereignty is at stake and, even by African standards, our insecurity continues to diminish our standing and our ability to serve as the leader of Africa.

7. Worsening quality of life, suffering and pain: When the security situation in the country is taken together with the deterioration and near collapse of the power sector, the sorry state of our roads, the economic hardship, one wonders how much of the renewed hope agenda flaunted by your administration is being realised. Mr President, our nation is bleeding. The citizens are suffering and crying. Not only on account of the constant threat to their life by criminal elements, but also because of some policies of government whose promised positive effects have been delayed too long before being felt. You have said a couple of times that you hear their cries and feel their pain. But words are not enough. They expect concrete action that engenders some change in their condition.

8. Pope Leo XIV among us will strengthen our collective prayers and efforts: Finally, we believe that the problems and burden of our nation require a sincere commitment to good governance for the common good to the glory of God. We continue to pray for our dear country and appeal to you to take seriously our pleas for greater collaboration between the Church and the State for the overall wellbeing of our people. We believe that Mr President is aware that the Holy Father, Pope Leo holds our country very close to his heart and constantly prays for us. During our visit to him in March this year, he was quite enthusiastic about a visit to Nigeria on a date in the future. As you know, Sir, that will only happen if you invite him. We request that this be done soon. Our land and its people will benefit immensely from his presence and blessing.

9. Two particular requests: Mr. President, we respectfully place two specific requests before Your Excellency. First, we ask that Your Excellency give favourable consideration to the request on the return of mission schools to their original proprietors. We recall that this matter was raised during our meeting with you last year, and we remain hopeful that your Government will take the necessary steps towards its implementation.
Second, in the light of the Supreme Court judgment of 10 February 2026 affirming the constitutional right of Muslim students at Rivers State University to freedom of religion and worship, we respectfully request that Your Excellency direct the appropriate Ministries, Departments and Agencies of Government to ensure that this same constitutional principle is faithfully implemented throughout the Federation. In particular, we appeal that Christians, especially in the northern part of the country, who continue to face difficulties in acquiring land for the construction of churches or in freely exercising their right to worship, should enjoy the same constitutional rights and protection accorded to all Nigerians. Equal citizenship must be reflected not only in law but also in practice.

Once again, we thank you very sincerely for granting us this audience. We pray that the Almighty and merciful God may grant you the wisdom and strength to lead our nation and all its citizens towards that greatness that God has destined for us.

Archbishop of Kaduna
President, CBCN

FELLOW NIGERIANS, Obasanjo ruled this country for 8yrs and he spent only ₦12trn of our money.

He handed over to Goodluck Jonathan who spent roughly 4yrs and the entire money he spent was about ₦19trn. Let's forget about Yar'Adua's tenure for obvious reasons.

Then, after Jonathan, Buhari ruled for 8yrs, and within this 8yrs, he spent ₦94trn.

If you calculate all the money spent by these 3 presidents in a total of 20yrs, you will arrive at approximately ₦125trn.

And when these 3 men ruled us, life was relatively easy for the average Nigerian. The prices of commodities were very affordable. The price of a litre of petrol never reached ₦300, and a bag of rice never exceeded ₦30k.

NOW, Lord Tinubu came...

Tinubu's appropriation bill for three years, that is: 2024, 2025 and 2026, is the whooping sum of ₦158trn.

In just 3yrs.

Now, if you are going to spend such a monstrous amount of money, Nigerians should be living like the Qataris. Nigerians should be enjoying easy life. Nigerians should actually be living like Seyi Tinubu.

Unfortunately, instead of making life easier, Tinubu increased the price of a litre of petrol to ₦1,350. A bag of rice is now ₦70,000, which is the same with our national minimum wage. And on top of all these, Tinubu told us it is a "renewed hope" era.

Let that sink in.
Slowly!

Now, here's the problem.

Because of this magnitudinous, insensitive, inordinate, reckless, lavish and unexplainable exorbitant budget, our income became too small to fund these utopian budgets.

Even without studying economics, one should know that living within your means is the first rule of prudence. Nigeria cannot be earning ₦10trn in a year, and the president will draw a budget of over ₦50trn, making our expenses far greater than our income. Where will you get the money to fund such a Cinderella budget?

That's absolute stvpidity, if you ask me.

Now, instead of downsizing these lofty projected expenditures which is what any reasonable and commonsensical person ought to do, Tinubu resorted to borrowing.

Borrowing here.
Borrowing there.

Borrowing from all parts of the world, with very high interest rates. The interest rates in these loans have virtually equalled our revenue generation per fiscal year. That is, how can you make ₦10m in a year, and you will use ₦9m to pay "interest" on your loans.

Nobody is talking about liquidating the principal loans.

Right now, Tinubu's government is still implementing the 2024 and 2025 budgets. Yes, I didn't mention 2026 even though we are almost entering August, 2026. We are still in the 2024 and 2025 budgets.

The worst part of the whole quagmire is the question: "How has all these humongous, hyperbolic and inordinately exaggerated and monumental budgets affected the lives of the ordinary citizen of Nigeria"?

You should answer it for yourself.

And if you ask Tinubu or his supporters to tell you how they have been spending our monies, they will tell you that Tinubu has built the coastal highway, that he has flagged off the student loan scheme and that our foreign reserves have increased.

Or, they will tell you how the world Bank, the IMF or the Swiss consortium have praised Tinubu's government and his policies as being "people friendly".

But when you go to the streets and ask the ordinary Nigerian how life has been, you will see tears in his eyes. He will tell you that if he dips his hands into his salary and buys a bag of rice, that there will be nothing left to buy the condiments for cooking it.

Oh, fellow Nigerians, whether you are Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Fulani or any other tribe, let us ponder on this and realise that this country is ours. The statistics reeled out here concerns our future and that of our children.

Let me conclude by saying this: the test of a good government is not known by statistics which they churn out, and which foreigners render applause for, but it is by how the ordinary citizens of that country feel about the policies of government.

Class dismissed!
Let us share the grace!

This keeper really keep rubbish today I no go lie u

It is not only by studio facilities, it is what you dish out that matters. Stop praise singing the government of the day. Stay neutral.

Leave them make dem dey deceive themselves. Everybody know sey na play dem dey play. The marriage no go reach 2 years before e go pafuka.

Marriage is a scam especially in Nigeria.

Very very ugly things

That's very very obvious now.

This country is really a joke. Anything goes.

When something happened to Abiola, I was highly disappointed that nothing happened. Now I'm waiting to see what would happen if anything happens to Nnamdi Kanu or El-Rufai. I just want to check and confirm something. God please answer my prayers and do it for me.
