Iginla explains ‘poor pastor’ comment, says prosperity, poverty is a choice.

The Lead Pastor of Champions Faith Assembly, Prophet Joshua Iginla, has weighed in on the controversy surrounding the viral statement, “I can never follow a poor pastor,” saying life is defined by personal choice and perspective.

Iginla made the remarks in a video message titled “The Poor Versus the Rich,” which has since gained traction on social media.

Addressing his congregation, the cleric said the statement credited to another pastor had been misunderstood, stressing that it merely reflected a personal opinion shaped by life experiences.

He said while the comment might not have been acceptable years ago, changing realities and exposure could influence how people view leadership and prosperity.

“What is wrong with the statement? It is his personal opinion,” Iginla said. “If you want to follow a poor pastor, follow one. If you want to follow a rich pastor, follow one.”

The cleric referenced Proverbs 19:4 to argue that wealth naturally attracts people, while poverty often repels them, noting that the scripture itself acknowledges this reality.

He challenged the church’s approach to wealth, questioning why poverty was often spiritualised while prosperity was viewed with suspicion.

“If I say today the topic of our message is poverty, will you sit down?” he asked. “Do you teach people how to be poor?”

Iginla argued that prosperity should not be confused with spirituality, adding that material possessions do not determine a person’s spiritual depth.

According to him, prosperity follows certain principles that anyone who practises them can benefit from, regardless of religious standing.

“You can be poor and make heaven like Lazarus. You can be rich and make heaven like Abraham, David or Solomon,” he said.

He warned against what he described as “terrorising” others for embracing prosperity, insisting that both poverty and wealth were personal choices.

The pastor also criticised what he called the over-spiritualisation of financial intelligence in the church, urging pastors to teach practical wealth creation alongside spiritual growth.

The comments came amid widespread debate triggered by the viral video of a pastor declaring he would never follow a poor pastor, a statement that has drawn mixed reactions across social media.

Tabitha Missions Int'l Empower Widows, Orphans, Less Privileged, Unveils Food Bank in Abuja.

The Tabitha Missions for orphans and widows international has launched the Tabitha food bank in Abuja as part of it's welfare outreach program aimed at supporting widows, orphans and vulnerable families during the yuletide season.

The initiative took place in Abuja and targeted household struggling with food, insecurity etc.

Speaking at the event, the founder and president board of directors, Pst Peter Apeh said the outreach was made possible through the support of kind hearted Nigerians and donors who contributed financially and materially.

Apeh described the 2025 outreach as an upgrade from the previous efforts and said government intervention alone is insufficient to meet the need of the people and less privileged.

Apeh described the food bank as a family intervention to respond to emergencies and food shortage, adding that, even small donation can empower widows to become self sustaining, he noted that, the organization has helped with both cash and food items and has a warehouse for storing raw and processed food for rapid response.

"It has to do with all the vulnerable families both children and orphans, the food bank is specifically targeting insecurities among vulnerable individuals, families, orphans, widows etc, its like a family affair"

"It has to do with materials too, some people that may not have access to materials can monitize their support to financial donation and on the aspect of food bank, we have a warehouse to house the donation of food materials both raw and processed, so we can move out in terms of emergencies or food shortage because the greatest prayers of the orphans and widows is where will, the next food come from, and that's the reason for setting the food bank so when we noticed an emergency in any system like the Orphanages or group of people, we take the food items and relief materials to them", Apeh stressed.

Also speaking at the event, Pastor Andy Akubo commended the initiative and describe it as practical explanation of compassion.

"I want to appeal to well meaning Nigerians to come to the aid of people, Nigeria is tough for a lot of people, especially on the issue of food, hunger and salvation".

"Whatever one can gather and bring will go a long way in helping people, I want to to appeal to well meaning Nigerians to come forward and join hands with the team like this, and help the less privileged in the society" Andy emphasized.

Beneficiaries which includes widows and vulnerable families expressed gratitude to the organizers and donors offering prayers and word of appreciation for the timely intervention.

Dr Becky Enenche Empowers Orphans, Widows, Youths To Celebrate 55th Birthday.

The wife of the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr (Mrs) Becky Enenche, has empowered several orphanages, widows, and youths in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, as part of activities marking her 55th birthday.

Speaking with journalists during the celebration, Enenche said the gesture was part of her long-standing passion for evangelism and community development, particularly in reaching out to less privileged children along the Airport Road corridor.

“We started evangelism about three years ago,” she recalled. “In the process, we found many children who were not in school. So, we began enrolling them and paying their school fees. Now, there are about 20 Bible clubs across the route, and the number of children on scholarship keeps growing each term.”

She explained that the scholarships under her personal outreach were separate from those sponsored by her husband, Dr Paul Enenche, or the church.

“At the beginning of every term, my evangelism team brings me the list of children, and I just release the money,” she said. “They liaise with the schools and ensure the fees are paid directly.”

The event witnessed the distribution of welfare packages, food items, school materials, and relief support to widows and orphanages across the FCT.

One of the beneficiaries, a student, Praise Adekunle, expressed gratitude, saying, “I want to thank mummy so much for giving me hope. She placed me on scholarship, and I pray God continues to bless and protect her.”

Another beneficiary, an SS1 student, Peter Oche, said, “Without mummy paying my school fees, I don’t think I would have any hope in life. My life has a meaning and taking shape now”

Reacting to the testimonies, Dr Enenche said she was moved by the impact of the initiative. “I’m so touched you interviewed them. This is why we do what we do — to change lives,” she stated.

The Head of the Welfare Department, Engineer David Abu Ozigi, noted that over 30 orphanages benefited from the empowerment drive.

He said, “This is not unusual; it’s something our Mummy has done consistently. The Bible teaches that pure religion is to care for widows and orphans in their distress. She’s simply obeying that divine instruction.”

He added that the gesture reflected the church’s ongoing commitment to humanitarian service and spiritual compassion.

Christian Coalition Fires Daniel Bwala Over Genocide, Killings Statement In Nigeria.

The coalition of christian youths comprising the Odua Youths Democrats Congress, Middle Belt Youths Vanguard & Progressive Congress, Concerned Christian Youths Forum, and the South East Congress for National Development has condemned and fires Daniel Bwala, a presidential aide for misrepresenting CAN’s position on the alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria, the group called Bwala a traitor and traducer.

The coalition leaders which includes Richard Light, Chima Chukwu, Paul James, Innocent Bawa, Enoch Kela and many others made this known in press briefing in Abuja, the statement reads; DANIEL BWALA, A TRAITOR Or A TRADUCER, "The entire Christian community in Nigeria and all lovers of truth and justice are appalled by the false narrative being mischievously peddled by the special adviser to the president on media and policy communication, Daniel Bwala in a recent press statement".

"Daniel committed two abominable sins in that infamous, treacherous and misleading statement.
First, he wilfully and maliciously misrepresented the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) after his meeting with their leadership on the issue of the ongoing targeted genocide against Christians in Nigeria, stating the exact opposite of CAN's position on the subject matter, thereby claiming that there was no genocide against Christians in Nigeria".

"It is un-statemanly, unethical, dubious, if not criminal, to maliciously misrepresent people and attribute to them in public what they never told you in your private meeting with them".

"Daniel's second abominable sin is to deny the targeted genocidal killings of Christians in Nigeria. There have been sustained campaigns of extermination of Christians in Nigeria running unabated for almost two decades in which tens of thousands have been killed, maimed, scores of Christian communities destroyed, and millions displaced within and outside Nigeria".

"Most of the communities sacked Benue, Plateau and other Christian States have already been occupied and renamed by the aggressors. The aim is ethnic cleansing with the sole intention of exterminating the Christian population so as to create living spaces for a certain group of people and have a homogeneous Nigeria reflective of one main religion".

"It is, therefore, a shame that Daniel Bwala who hails from Borno State , the epicenter of Boko Haram's brutality would live in flagrant denial of the extermination of his own people. He must have lost fellow Christians in the state, yet the cosy red wine of the presidential palace has blinded his sensitivity to the memory of their blood. Daniel's duplicity, whether it is for political correctness or a desperate bid to please his paymasters as an ignoble political jobber, has left in its trail nothing but a history that will judge him hashly".

"His denial of the plight of the Christian population of Nigeria, especially those of northern extraction, is an insult to the collective sensitivity of Christians, not only in Nigeria, but all over the world. It is like denying that the Holocaust never happened. It is also like saying that the Rwandan Genocide never happened".

"Daniel's action has added more pains to the trauma of war and the fear of extermination facing the Nigerian Christian community. Denying the truth of people's horrifying existential experiences will exacerbate the situation and cause more damage than whatever political gains that the clueless, selfish and shameless adviser unwittingly seeks to achieve".

"Daniel should do well to check people like Daniel and Esther in the Bible who stood for justice in their generation and prevented the extermination of their people rather than perpetuating it just as he is doing".

"Seeking political relevance at all cost has been the trademark of Daniel's political engagement. It is very unfortunate that political prostitutes bereft of all morals are left to occupy sensitive positions of influence over saner and nobler people. That is the paradox of our nation. In civilized climes, the antecedents of people like Daniel Bwala should have given them away as unprofitable, inconsequential, treacherous and unreliable political charlatans".

"It is such a shame that Daniel, like Esau, has decided to sell his conscience for a morsel of bread and the fleeting, transient allure of power and political influence. He is nothing but a traitor to his own people and a disgrace to the entire Christian community in Nigeria. He has caused more pains and trauma in the hearts of survivors than the guns and bullets of the enemy".

"Well, Daniel should be reminded that positions are temporary, and when the position is over, he has his conscience to face on earth and God to face in the hereafter. Whatever position he occupies today is transient but the consequences of his actions will live with him forever".

"As a nation, it is time to heal, and time to move on, but only if we all lend our voices to the truth rather than standing in denial of it. We commend our security forces for their relentless fight against all agents of war and terror in our nation, and we enjoin all well meaning leaders and stakeholders at all levels and across divides to stand by the truth and unite for the cause of enduring and sustainable peace".

The group further called on Nigerians to promote healing and unity through truth and justice, rather than through denial or political correctness.

Concerned Christian youth forum (CCYF) affirms genocide against Nigerian christians


The Concerned Christian Youth Forum (CCYF) has raised fresh alarm over what it described as an ongoing “Christian genocide” in Nigeria, urging world leaders and human rights groups to intervene before the situation spirals further out of control.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Friday and signed by its Convener, James Paul Adama, the group expressed solidarity with the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) and other advocates demanding justice for victims of violent attacks on Christian communities across the country.

Adama recalled that since 2010, several notable figures — including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) — have repeatedly condemned the brutal killings of Christians, yet the violence persists with little accountability.

“From villages burnt down to worshippers slaughtered in cold blood, the world cannot afford to look away any longer,” the statement read.

The CCYF noted that the international community was beginning to take notice, with senators from various nations now publicly denouncing the atrocities.

In a symbolic act of global solidarity, fans of the Romanian national football team recently displayed a banner during a World Cup qualifier match, boldly declaring support for persecuted Christians in Nigeria — a gesture the Forum described as “deeply moving and courageous.”

The group accused unnamed individuals and organisations of deliberately spreading disinformation to downplay the crisis, warning that such actions only embolden perpetrators.

“To those paid propagandists seeking to distort the truth, know this: your lies will not stand. The world is watching, and justice will come,” Adama said.

He added that those found complicit in suppressing the truth about the killings would one day be held accountable “before history and before God.”

The CCYF reaffirmed its commitment to working with both local and international partners to ensure justice for affected Christian communities, insisting that silence in the face of genocide is itself a form of complicity.

Independence Day Strategic Prophetic Action over Nigeria.

Prophetic Walk on 1st October 2025.

'God is not finished with Nigeria'.
~ Bishop Ebiye

Nigeria @ 65; The Nation Of Our Dream, A Great Possibilities - Nobles Family Church.

As Nigeria clocks 65 years of independence, the call for responsible leadership, national renewal and active citizenship has dominated the discourse. For the nobles family church international, a faith based community, it is a moment for intersession and reflection.

At the prayer walk for the nation in the federal capital territory Abuja, the nobles family international and stakeholders urge Nigerians not to only pray but to participate fully in shaping the future of the country.

Speaking at the prayer walk and rally for the nation and international believers summit(IBS) with the theme: Possibilities, the senior pastor of nobles family international, Bishop Ebiye Tuaweri said, "we must understand what made this possible is God, so we are handing over this nation to God, while we would do our bit". "The bit we are going to do is for everyone to go and register for it doesn't matter what is happening, no body should be afraid to go and register, do his bit so we can do our vote and allow God to the best for us".

Speaking further, Ebiye stated "As we celebrate 65, no matter what we are passing through, we should work hard, everybody should work hard in anything we are doing and be careful where you go to and make sure you fall into the hands of the people who are destructive to this nation like men of the underworld". "We must do our best as a nation and see what God is going to do with us".

Also speaking at the prayer work for the nation, the bishop elect of Nobles Family Rev. Prosper Isichei said "the church has the authority to bring the moral influence, to bring about the direction both transformational and eternal direction to the country and that strength of the church is what we are trying to unleash through this kind of prayers".

"But also we think about the state of our country, Nigeria as a nation, we are at the lowest epp in our moral level, we have moral, spiritual bankruptcy today, leadership gaps, we have young and large population of people without direction and we know that the hearts of men are not controlled by rules, laws, but controlled by God".

"Only God has access to heart and makes a true heart change and that is the reason why we are here, to call upon God to touch the hearts of the people, leaders and populace to bring a moral clarity to us, offcourse the church has always been praying and praying this much, imagine of we are not paying".

"But we came here knowing that, we are joining the entire body of Christ praying for the redemption of our country and we believe, that God will do it, the first step to see physical transformation is to invest in spiritual transformation and thats what we are doing today", Rev. Prosper stressed.

Other speakers also made the call for resilience and collective action stressing that faith must drive citizens into responsible engagement; On her part part Rev. Patricia Tuaweri said; "Frankly speaking, there are cars everywhere today, even the nation is not celebrating itself but the advice is, let's not give up, let's continue to do the best we can and, everybody in their little corners should keep doing what they're suppose to be doing just like i kept saying must times, we are all lights". "Little light here and there, we will lighten up Nigeria".

"I believe strongly that, we can come back again to be the giant of Africa" Patricia emphasized.

Also speaking, Pastor Sydney Akpotive said; "if the head is correct, the body is definitely correct, but you know because we are in Nigeria, we have seen some correct heads in private organization so we know , it can work in our national as well, so we are saying to our leaders that, the Lord will give them wisdom to rise up and take up the responsibility of leading, so we know that, you make policies that are difficult for the people but, beyond those polices, put action, energy to words".

As 65, the message from faith community is clear, while prayers remains essential, the Nigeria of our dream will only emerge through honest leadership, active citizenship and a share commitment to the nations future.

Law Regulating Religious Preaching In Niger State is ill advised, anti-religious - Concerned Christian Youth Forum Warns.

The Concerned Christian Youth Forum (CCYF) have been made aware of a new policy introduced by Governor Umar Bago requiring preachers to submit their sermons for approval prior to public delivery.

In a statement made available to journalists signed by the convener; Paul James Adama, states that "Niger state has been in the limelight in recent times for some wrong reasons. This time, apart from the worrisome challenge of insecurity, the state government has exacerbated the situation by adding yet another concern to the gravely concerning condition of the state – the introduction of the law mandating all religious preachers in the state to submit their sermon notes for approval and obtain due approval from the government before preaching".

Whilst we do not subscribe to reckless, hateful and inciteful preaching, the Concerned Christian Youth Forum (CCYF) wish to, in the most unambiguous terms denounce and reject such a law and dismiss it as ill-thought, ill-advised, anti-religious, discriminatory, oppressive and preposterous. This is nothing short of religious censorship and a gross violation of the fundamental human rights of the people as it relates to their freedom of thought and religion which is enshrined in Sections 38 and 39 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Under international law, Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) which the State of Nigeria is party to as well as the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) generally consider as oppressive and illegal, any form of restriction on the rights of people to exercise their freedom of religion.
Furthermore, the United Nations Declaration on the Elimination of All Forms of Intolerance and of Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief (1981) provides for freedom of religion or belief.

These key UN instruments provide freedom of thought, conscience and religion; freedom to change religion or belief; freedom to manifest, practice or express religion or belief; prohibition of all forms of discrimination and incitement and protection for all regardless of religion or belief.

Religion is an ultra-sensitive matter in our nation as in most parts of the world, and so, it is expected of every right-thinking and well-meaning government to handle religious matters with judiciousness and caution.

Now, come to think of it, apart from a horrifying insecurity situation, Niger state is grappling with widespread poverty having one of the highest poverty rates in the country with well over 64% of her population living below the poverty line despite being the largest state in terms of land mass. Basie infrastructures like electricity, healthcare facilities, drinkable water supply and education are out of reach of most of the population.

The average adult literacy rate of the state is somewhere in the region of 38.1% as at 2022 far below the national average of 63.16%. Appalling!
Tackling these underlying developmental issues should be the concerns of any well-meaning government and not stifling religious freedom. Even the insecurity situation in the state could be a direct offshoot of the abysmal poverty and underdevelopment prevalent in the state.

Therefore, formulating people-oriented policies aimed at enhancing the economic prospects of the state and lifting people out of poverty should be the major focus of any right-thinking government and not resorting to diversionary tactics by introducing a totally irrelevant, unreasonable, illogical and inappropriate law.

At this point, we join other well-meaning voices both within and outside the state as well as across religious divides in denouncing this obnoxious, oppressive, repressive and retrograde law.
We stand for religious sanity and denounce every form of inflammatory speech or religious incitement.

However, we appeal to the government of Niger state to jettison forthwith, the law subjecting preachers to mandatory licensing and requiring preachers to submit their sermon notes for verification and approval.

This is in the interest of good governance, peace, justice, respect for the Rule of Law, the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the relevant instruments and charters of the United Nations on religious freedom.

He explained that Philip entered the city without title, publicity, or human backing, yet the whole city was shaken under divine influence.

“Every entity in Samaria, whether spiritual or physical, was aware that something had shifted because Philip had arrived,” Dr. Enenche said.

“The question is: when last did you enter a place and both heaven and hell recognized your arrival?”

He noted that Philip’s entry into Samaria was not by personal choice but by divine orchestration through persecution.

Using this as a backdrop, Dr. Enenche declared that pressure is often the birthplace of power.

“Every time the devil does his worst, God sets the stage to do His best. Seasons of persecution are seasons of visitation. Fresh battles attract fresh mantles,” he charged, assuring ministers who may feel weary that God releases fresh oil in seasons of resistance.

Outlining the forces behind Philip’s territorial impact, Dr. Enenche identified three keys: the force of the Spirit, the force of the Word, and the force of Power.

He stressed that Philip was directed by the Spirit, carried the Word with authority, and backed it with undeniable power—demonstrated as unclean spirits were cast out, the lame were healed, and the city was filled with joy.

“You don’t need a poster if you carry power. You don’t need a big name if you carry presence. The proof of ministry is not in advertisement, it is in manifestation,” he declared to thunderous applause.

Dr. Enenche concluded with a prophetic declaration: “In your family, there will be joy. In your community, there will be joy. In your territory, there will be joy. God will use you like He used Philip—you will not die small, you will not end weak, you will not finish silent.”

Dr Bill Winston taught on Day 3, evening session with the theme; "Living from the inside out & Day 4 at the all-night vigil with the theme; Growing Up, The Sons Of God" taking his anchor scriptural references from the book of Romans 8;19, Hebrews 5;12-14, Galatians 4;1, Mathew 16;19, Luke, John, Proverbs etc. Dr Bill said "I thought i was SUPERMAN, whenever i put on a SUPERMAN shirt, i felt stronger; so how much more when you put on Christ?. The enemy is under our feat, Winston stressed"

Mills, with the healing campaign evangelistic movement taught on Day 4 Morning session & at the worship, word, wonders night taking his text from, Mathew 16:18 and on the necessity of "Building God's Church, Being faithful and Loyalty".

Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo Remarks On Apostle Babalola Clearly Misiterpreted, Misunderstood - Christian Youth Forum

The Concerned Christian Youth Forum (CCYF) has dismissed claims that Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo of the Commonwealth Zion Assembly (COZA) insulted the late Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola, founder of the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC).

In a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday, CCYF convener James Paul Adama said Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo holds apostle Ayo Babalola and his Legacies High and the remarks attributed to him had been taken out of context, misunderstood and misinterpreted completely.

He explained that an investigation by the forum found the COZA pastor’s comments had been “regrettably misunderstood and misinterpreted” on social media.

“The statement was never intended to harm or insult Apostle Babalola or his esteemed family in any way,” Adama said.

The forum described Babalola as a towering figure in Nigerian Christianity whose legacy continues to inspire generations of believers.

According to the CCYF, Fatoyinbo affirmed his deep respect for all church fathers and stressed he would never act in a manner that disrespected their memory.

The pastor has also apologised to Babalola’s family, the CAC, and the wider Christian community for any distress caused by the misunderstanding.

The CCYF warned against attempts to sow division among churches, saying those spreading false information “for sensationalism” would face divine judgement.
