Popular non-denominational Christian ministry, The Elevation Church (TEC), has refuted social media reports that it has investments in Imagine Global Solutions, an embattled microlending company.
In an internal message to church members, Lead Pastor, Godman Akinlabi said, “this information is false. The Elevation Church has no such investment whatsoever. From inception, as an institution, we set internal and external systems and processes that have allowed us to operate with high standards of financial probity and accountability, as faithful stewards under God.”
The rumours began spreading after an Instagram user with the handle, @_trapselena_ said Bamise and Elizabeth Ajetunmobi, the couple running Imagine Global lending scheme, were on the run with monies of Nigerians running into billions. “Major investors include The Elevation Church, which gave them N500m,” the Instagram user said.
However, it was observed that the user has already taken down the post from her Instagram account and has subsequently set her account to private.
Meanwhile, Piggyvest, one of the organizations mentioned as an investor in the scheme, has also refuted the rumours. In a statement issued to the media, Piggyvest stated that “the report claiming that Piggyvest had lost N2billion in an alleged Bamise ImagineLenders scam trending on Instagram is completely false and unfounded.”
The social media has proven to be an unreliable source of information as it is often a tool for misinformation. One classic example was the rumoured death of veteran actor, Olu Jacobs in July 2020. Olu Jacobs recently attended the 60th birthday of his wife, Joke Silver.

The scene between the lady and bolt driver attracted a passerby who tried to resolve the matter amicably between both parties but could not.

On his part, the driver said he had ended the trip and another rider has requested him but the boyfriend has refused to pick calls.
He said, “It is better for everybody to know what is happening because when they say, they say bolt drivers are rude.
”When I pick a rider, a rider pays me and comes down from my car. Am not to be bothered if a boyfriend or someone is not picking call.
“I ended her trip at 10 o’clock and waited 30mins before taking any action and this is already to eleven.
She refused when the cab man suggested that she should drop a valuable that she can collect back when her boyfriend pays for the trip.
Towards the end of the video, he requested for her phone but she held on tightly to it.

citywal: I just don't get it at all, I swear I don't. How can a girl know that you love her, like she knows legit.
I told her times without numbers reduce the way she goes out with friends, she lives in the mainland n I live at Ajah (lekki axis) her mum recently opened a restaurant and she should be helping the woman... Like I advice her alot.
I came across pastor Kingsley Okonkwo preaching that says "you saw her the way she was before you married her and it you didn't change her then why change her now" Heaven knows I tried but if she can't stop we can't get married and I can't date her.
I can't keep getting worried anytime she goes out considering the dangerous times that we are now.
I am not a simp but fact is sooner or later y'all calling yourself redpillers will want to settle down.
I mean if this is how looking for a partner is hard I'll just get myself a baby mama n focus on my life n kid. I'm legit tired of all this...so pissed this night.

I have always read on here about people asking for business plans and looking for ideas to enable them manage the resources they have for a particular business.
I am in my late 20s. My Mom had me out of wedluck and ever since the pregnancy my dad never showed up as both were teenagers.
Life has been from Pilar to post and from hand to mouth. Though through the help of aunties and uncles I was able to get educated and I have served as well.
So just last week my mom (who later got married) called me and told me that my Dad reached out to her and she gave him my phone contact.
He called me yesterday and after we talked for the first time in my life he told me to get a business i could do with 300,000
Pleases guys I know he wronged me by running away and he hasn't set his eyes on me since I was born, but I sure do need this money.
Nairalanders come in and help me with business suggestions and ideas pls.
