Where are those clowns who claim they can perform miracles?

Sad-u-see! Greatest miracle is to feel good with yourself and to acknowledge God

With your two limbs you are not being felt by the Almighty and the society.

You are hardly happy with yourself.

EBENEZER OBEY AT 75: Ogun to Establish Museum for His Works

The Ogun State governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, yesterday announced his administration’s plan to build a museum in honour of Evangelist Ebenezer Obey, a music maestro known for his Juju music gendre.

Amosun announced this at the interdenominational church service held at the Chapel of Christ The Glorious King, inside the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Abeokuta marking the 75th birthday of the music icon. Governor Ibikunle Amosun and celebrant Chief Ebenezer Fabiyi Obey .

The state governor noted that the Obey-Fabiyi’s music taught totality of life and it has moved beyond Nigeria to the entire global community. He said when he travelled to the United States of America, he saw the works of the Ogun State-born music displayed in a shop in New York.

Amosun said he never failed to listen to his music every morning before setting out for the office, because there was always a prayer or a philosophy, which could serve as driving force for the day.

He said, “All I see in him at 75 is the awesomeness of God in his life. “There is always something to learn from your music. I play Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi’s music every morning (he also rendered some of the musician’s lines). “Your music teaches the totality of life, it teaches essence of life and living. Your music has moved beyond Nigeria to the global community. “We will establish a museum where all your works will be kept for generations yet unborn to know about you and other legends from the state.”

I Use His Music as Sleeping Pill – Obasanjo

Also, at the event, former President Olusegun Obasanjo described the Juju and gospel music maestro, Chief Ebenezer Obey-Fabiyi as “a musician of international repute, a revered evangelist and businessman of note.”

Obasanjo said whenever he was finding it difficult to sleep or while doing a serious work, he would have Obey-Fabiyi music playing slowly at the background.

He spoke at the reception held inside the marquee located in the Presidential Library, Abeokuta, after the thanksgiving service,. The former President also noted that the musician in his over three decades on the Nigerian performing stage had taken Nigerian music to the global platform.

He said the music legend has maintained decorum and decency in his conduct and content as an artiste and musician adding that he has elevated God through his music and impacted positively on the society.

He said, “His life on one hand depicts the grace of God and on the other hand, it teaches determination, hard work and perseverance.

“One of the important lessons to be learnt from his life is that there is no height a man cannot attain once he is focused. “His life as taught the lesson that irrespective of one’s background, one can get to the pinnacle of one’s chosen career.”

He commended Obey-Fabiyi for his initiative to give back to the society through Ebenezer Obey Music Foundation and Training Institute, which he inaugurated at the reception.

Adeboye, Wale Oke, others eulogise him

Meantime, the General Overseer,Redeemed Christian Church of God worldwide,Pastor Enoch Adeboye said he has followed the musical career of the music icon right from his miliki days. He explained that both himself and Chief Obey-Fabiyi became born again christian at about same period. Pastor Adeboye said he was happy that he has been winning souls for God through his gospel music. He later prayed for the celebrator and members of his family.

The Deputy National President, Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria, Bishop Wale Oke who delivered the sermon at the ceremony, described the celebrator as an epitome of humility whose music “is philosophical and preaching morals encouraging people to do good.”

While using some verses from Psalms 71 and 73, he asked for God’s guidance, protection and strength for him as he said King David asked God when he was getting old.

The cleric who’s also the General Overseer, Sword of the Spirit Ministries, said in every human being’s life, there were three seasons – morning, afternoon and evening, adding that all mortals would want their evening to be better than morning.

He said that King David realised his vulnerability at old age and begged God “not to cast him off nor forsake him when his strength fails and for God to continue to use him for his generation and generations yet unborn.”

Bishop Oke prayed for God’s guidiance and strength for the music icon even at his own old age, “so that he will finish well.”

Responding, the host, said God had endowed him with musical talent and sent him on a mission as a musician with message of love, peace, hope and progress. Obey-Fabiyi said to fulfil this mandate, he formed his first band, the Royal Mambo Orchestra, in Idogo in 1957.

The musician who gave all glory to God for what he described as ‘unending success’ in his life, also paid tribute to his late wife, Olaide, and late Pa Oye Ande of Melican Publicity “who when nobody believed in me, he gave me money to buy the latest guitar at the UTC then.” Another musical legend, Sunday Adegeye, popularly known as King Sunny Ade, entertained guests at the reception with his brand of Juju music.

Others like Evangelist Bola Are, and Tope Alabi, performed for about five minutes each during the church service. Personalities at the event include former governors of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba, and Otunba Gbenga Daniel, speaker, Ogun State House of Assembly, Suraj Adekunbi and his Lagos counterpart, Mudashiru Obasa, wife of Lagos State governor, Bolanle Ambode, and Iyalode of Yorubaland, Alaba Lawson. Others were royal fathers, captains of industry,top gospel and Juju musicians among others.

One of the reasons why we are still backward in Africa, not only in Nigeria. We assume a lot, that someone is a Professor does not necessarily means he/she is capable of making things happen.

The Prof is just clueless and the earlier the better to salvage the situation by sending him to Sharia court.

Not only that, this man does nothing rational but Islamic. when you appoint one who is innately aversed to western education to head something as nationally strategic as Jamb, your guess is as rough as mine (forget about him being professor-its to keep body and soul together)

marshborn:
Enough of the Abrahamic religions(judahism,christianity and islam), for once lets try to appreciate the Gods of our forefathers.

i would be educating you all on two very prominent ones in Igbo land.

Ala/Ani/Ana (the Igbo earth goddess)

Ala (also known as Ani, Ana, Ale, and Ali in varying Igbo dialects) is the female Alusi (deity) of the earth, morality, fertility and creativity in Odinani. She is the most important Alusi in the Igbo pantheon. In Odinani, Ala rules over the underworld, and holds the deceased ancestors in her womb. Her name literally translates to 'Ground' in the Igbo language, denoting her powers over the earth and her status as the ground itself. Ala is considered the highest Alusi in the Igbo pantheon. Ala's husband is Amadioha, the sky deity.

As the goddess of morality, Ala is involved in judging human actions and is in charge of Igbo law and customs known as 'Omenala'. Taboos and crimes among Igbo communities that are against the standard of Ala are called nsọ Ala. All ground is considered 'Holy land' as it is Ala herself. With human fertility, Ala is credited for the productivity of the land. Ala's messenger and living agent on earth is the python (Igbo: éké), which is especially revered in many Igbo communities. In art, Ala is often represented as a regal figure seated on a throne, surrounded by her family. In the past, such figures took the form of life-size mud sculptures in special festive shrines dedicated to the deity and known as Mbari.

You are tired of your abrahamic ancestry-Israel. You have opted for Mogadishu origin. That's better for you.

This is unfortunate!
A 500level student is not a baby. This same daddy freeze is always out to castigate covenant university base on their rules. Now that the rules are relaxed...

divicoded:
Thank God! Iyabo Ojo at least is not a Pastor, she can be kept in the prison as long as she wants.
Kemi, please do not worry, freeze is coming to meet you in jail!

Where are "the Pastor must forgive shouting crew"? No be Pastor dey lock am again oh

Who is Freeze?
Is he her husband or her abobaku?

SuperSuave:
This woman is too old for all these breàst shows na, haba!! they aren't attractive sef
I respect her acting tho

Old cargoes. Competing with their grand daughters. Shior!

Well done

babablogger:
Op we know she defamed his character but we believe he being a pastor he should overlook it
Since he didn't he should be called a fake Man of God
Cause as a man of God you should learn to forgive no matter the atrocities committed against you but no he is a yahoo yahoo pastor only interested in the tithes of his followers

Wouldn't it be better to try to win her soul instead of try to condemn her to jail
Sorry o but anybodybwey dey go this man church ehn well make i shut up

Those who have ignored are stupidly being term guilty. They , these novice, claim the 'facts' are too overwhelming -the reason why the person involved is keeping quiet. They go as far as using proverb like -There is no smoke without fire.
It's time for them to answer for their reckless accusations

SmartBug:
With intention of wedding as adults, and with their consent, I see no problem with that. Because I honestly don't want any of my daughters (hopefully If I have any) to have a frustrating sex—married life.

I get your drift. As long as your coming daughters are well-bleeped, (sorry I cant get a better word that can best convey your ambition) nothing else will be a problem to you.
But remember the only place where frustrating-sex life CAN NEVER be allowed or be think of is a brothel


Do you still crave this your 'lofty' ambition for your daughter/s?

SmartBug:
That's her opinion and it's beautiful. But it's not for people like me. With something serious as marriage, I need to perform ‘good servicing’ before putting a ring.

I will agree with you as long as you would be happy when ALL your daughters will insist on receiving enough and abundant 'good servicing' before they can think of receiving ring from any guy

*Make no vex o*

But how do Vanguard come to the conclusion that it was her son?

You also failed to note that someone whose mother was murdered since last Thursday (4 days) is yet to show face
Is he living in planet Uranus?

teemanbastos:
Need financial help badly.. I called on Jesus , i haven't received a reply.. I want to get born again Genuinely.. I called on Jesus i haven't received a reply.

Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God...

-Jesus is not a kind of fans/air-conditioner you crave in hot season and abandon in chilling weather

-He is not a sango or amadioha you conjure at will to deal with your opponents

-Jesus is not like the prophet commanding his legion to make sure and insisting they expand his idea with the edge of sword in other for him to feel cool.

-Jesus should be first of all, Lord (Master, director, controller) and then Saviour (helper, healer, defender.) If the order is reversed, it will not work


May God shower His mercy on you and answer your prayer in Jesus Name

TonyeBarcanista:
Okorie spoke well but what is his obsession with the APC Leader title of Tinubu?

The Op and/or Vanguard is mischievous about the caption. In fact that is less than 2% of the Germaine issues raised

remzor:
I got verified on nl 17th feb., 2008... Tried to b d FTC but hell no... Today, ma story changed for good lmao... 1st April, 2017... No let anybody talk u down o.... u too fit be president o... all u need is dedication... lmao... I dedicate this award to dis naked sister... #keepTheChangeBae

For more than 9 years! Congratulations on achieving this your life-ambition. What next? Creating a topic for front page! That should be enough for you, I guess.

Mis-orientation!!!

martineverest:
In other words, it's weird that devils are now calmer than pastors

Yes. devil pushed her to the precipice! I edit a nice comment fits for lots of you:

Some of you naive children online should know that David Ibiyomie is not the magistrate or judge that sent Kemi to the prison, if you have any issue with that please complain to the national judicial council!

In conclusion, if David Ibiyomie has kept quiet like Adeboye or Oyedepo, you will be here running your dirty mouths like a tap without control that the allegations are correct! Now he has gone to court to seek redress and you are still crying! What a world full of hypocrites

ZombieTERROR:
Sometimes silence is golden
When u have nothing to say just shussss it
Rather than fooling urself at the market square

You rather, would have debunked that allegation rather than this headless admonition.

Sad
If he has been told a while before to give his life to Jesus Christ.

What do you think would have been his response, like many of us here:

-Bleep you
-Wetin concern me with mumu like you
-Wetin your jet-flying pastors don do for you?
-Una Tithes and offerings never do una?
-Even I better pass your apostles/G.Os
-Who has gone to heaven and come back before?
-Leave me and let me enjoy myself,
- I still dey young and I never get tine for that rubbish
-If u no comot for my front....

Well, Jesus is calling you TODAY for your own eternal interest (leave false pastors and brethren for their judgement).

Answer Him today. Good morning and God bless you

tommykiwi:
Just as baba Buhari refused to tell Nigerians how much he spent on his medical bills abroad. So dey r both birds of same feathers.

This were the type of things you were quoting for gej until you saw him into the political pit

Cant you be objective for once?

oluwayimika123:
THEM SABI DEM FATHER FOR POLITICS NA

WHILE dre youths are abusing and cursing JAGABAN online,
dre leaders still want to integrate with him.

HE is a political icon d@ u cant help but resonate with him

I tell you: those who missed the gathering either by commission or omission are licking their political wounds
Frantic efforts are being made to reduce their "folly'. Expect some more visits to Bourdillon in days ahead.

cytell56:
How does that remove the Gooro in Tinubu's mouth?

Only the physically and spiritually blind ever refer to tinubu as having gooro teeth. Ever since I have been seen him on TV till yesterday, the mouth has been sparkling.
But how can your miserable lots ever be helped?

UnknownT:
So Dangote is just $2 billion richer than Adenuga? Wow! His wealth will increase when his refinery starts operation sha

You call $2billion 'just'? I am sure if there is anyone in your clan who has ,N2 million, your life will not be like this.

*No insults intended*

Judasjudas:
if its members now ..they'll tell u allow God fight for u .. now ur taking ur case to mortal men to judge for u ..

smH ..

Even Jesus Christ could not have pleased you better! Your miserable lots have been going about spewing rubbish saying that the man of God gra-gra has gone down because the 'facts' against him were overwhelming. Now that he is going to the court, see una life!

Former President of Ghana, Jerry John Rawlings is reported dead at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital after he collapsed suddenly in his Ridge residence this morning.
Jerry John Rawlings, ‘Papa Jay’ as popularly known was said to have collapsed immediately he came out of his car in his house.
According to Dr. K. Abeberese, a staff doctor at the hospital, late former president was rushed to the hospital in an emergency van in a very critical condition.
“We could examine he had difficulty in breathing and had lost all external stimuli, we did our best to control the situation and he was gradually responding to treatment.”-Dr Abeberese added.
A team of doctors were said to have conducted a second survey on him after he respired abnormally and unfortunately he passed away just after 45 minutes of the second medical exercise.
All efeorts to reach her surving spouse, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings on fon to get an in-depth details about her late husband’s demise has proven futile.
Though it’s obvious to provisionally attribute his sudden demise to cardiac arrest, doctors have assured the public they will soon release autopsy report to ascertain the real cause as the body is deposited at the morgue.
An autopsy will fully confirm the cause of his death, but the best guess at the moment is cardiac arrest.

KINGOFTHEEAST:
this useless man tinubu can you tell us why you relocated to Abuja when there was rumour of buharis death crook its high time real Yorubas stood up to jail this nitwit

What your dis-orientation has not told you is- why did he go to London to prove that PMB is alive?
