My Brother Died After Many Years of Illness, Not Murder’

...Family Slams Murder Rumours as ‘Pathological Lies,’ Threatens Legal Action
~Justin Iwerebor Debunks Viral Claims

The attention of the Iwerebor family has been drawn to false and malicious reports circulating across social media platforms alleging that our beloved brother, the late Solomon Iwerebor, was murdered.

​I, Mr. Justin Iwerebor, speaking on behalf of the family, wishes to state categorically that these reports are capital and pathological lies fabricated by unscrupulous blackmailers

Every member of our family is fully aware that my late elder brother battled a protracted illness since 2006, and his children faithfully sent money to support his medical treatment throughout this period

​Furthermore, we wish to correct the misleading claim that Solomon left Germany two years ago for Ghana. In truth, my brother returned to Nigeria from Germany over eight years ago specifically to receive proper treatment for his condition

Over the years, our family took him to several medical facilities before we collectively agreed to seek divine intervention by bringing him to Grace Nation Global for prayers

​While our family mourns this painful loss, we strongly warn bloggers, social media influencers, and any individuals peddling baseless rumours or falsely alleging that I had a hand in my brother's death to desist immediately.

Anyone making such grave accusations must be ready to present verifiable facts and evidence or face the full consequences of the law.

​This is not the time to drag innocent people into a family's grief for clout. The law will definitely take its course.

Mr. Justin Iwerebor

Younger brother to Late Solomon Iwerebor

When the Law Catches Up: Doris Ogala’s N30m Bail Comes with Hard Lessons for Social Media Content Creators
...From Social media rant to Kirikiri
+emotions don't rule the court room

Freedom of speech and expression is a fundamental right, but it is not a free pass to break the law. A clear message is being sent to social media users, bloggers, and content creators who operate without restraint online activities have legal boundaries, and cybercrimes carry real consequences

​The case of faded-away Nollywood actress and AAC governorship candidate, Doris Ogala, serves as a sobering reminder that no one is above the law. Acting as though online platforms grant immunity from accountability often leads to a harsh reality check

​In the court of law, allegations require proof not social media noise. After spending days in custody at the Kirikiri Female Correctional Centre, Ogala discovered that online followers and cheerleaders do not share in legal liability. When charges are filed, individuals stand alone to face the consequences.

​The prosecution, acting through the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Lawyer Tolu Mokulu brought cyberstalking and defamation charges against Ogala before Justice Akintayo Aluko at the Federal High Court in Lagos, following petitions linked to statements against Dr. Chris Okafor and other public figures

​During previous proceedings, Ogala rendered an unreserved public apology from the witness box after receiving a stern rebuke from the court regarding her conduct. Her defense counsel, Marshall Abubakar, subsequently pleaded for favorable bail terms on her behalf

​On Friday, November 6, 2026, Justice Aluko delivered a ruling on her bail application, granting her bail set at N30 million alongside strict surety conditions

​Key Bail Conditions:

​Bail Sum: N30 million.

​Sureties: Two sureties required. One must be a Grade Level 14 civil servant, while the other must be a property owner on Lagos Island, a prominent political party leader, or a recognized member of the clergy

​Social Media Restrictions:

Expressly barred from posting unwarranted or intimidating publications online while the case is ongoing

​Conduct: Ordered to maintain good behavior

​The trial has been adjourned to March 25, 2027.

Lessons For Nigeria From The 2026 United States of America's Mid-Term Elections: When The People Speaks

On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Americans went to the polls for their mid-term elections. By Wednesday morning, the verdict was clear and historic.

The Democratic Party had wrested control of the United States Congress from the Republicans, winning a majority in both the House of Representatives and the Senate in what international observers described as a stunning rebuke of President Donald Trump.

According to Associated Press tallies, Democrats had won 228 House seats and were leading in 34 more, potentially heading for over 260 seats - their biggest majority since 1990. In the Senate, they secured 54 seats against the Republicans' 44.

But the numbers only tell half the story. The real story is where they won.

Democrats won a Senate seat in Kansas for the first time since the Great Depression of 1932. They won in South Carolina, which had not elected a Democratic Senator since 1998. They won a Senate seat and the Governorship in Texas, a state Republicans had dominated since the 1990s. In Iowa, Minnesota, Ohio and Indiana, they flipped seats and broke supermajorities.

No stronghold was too strong. No incumbent was too powerful.

For Nigeria, as we inch towards our own general elections in 2027, the message from America is simple and urgent: power truly belongs to the people, and every vote must count.

Lesson One: No seat Is safe when people are angry

The 2026 US mid-terms were fought on kitchen-table issues. Exit polls cited by Reuters and Al Jazeera showed voters were frustrated by the high cost of living, anxiety over the war in Iran, and what many saw as an overreach of executive power.

President Trump campaigned personally, telling voters to "vote like I am on the ballot." They did - but not in the way he expected. Candidates who mimicked his style lost. In county after county where Trump won by 18 points in 2024, Republicans lost in 2026.

The lesson for Nigerian politicians is blunt: performance is the only campaign that lasts. You cannot eat propaganda. You cannot spend party slogans. When the price of rice, transport, school fees and rent becomes unbearable, voters will not ask whether you are APC, PDP, LP or ADC. They will ask: has my life improved?

The 2023 Nigerian election showed glimpses of this, with Labour Party breaking traditional voting patterns in Lagos and the FCT. 2027 will be even more issue-driven. Politicians who think their war chest or incumbency will save them are reading the wrong script.

Lesson Two: Every vote counts.

In the US mid-terms, over 57 million Americans voted early before Election Day. Voting was largely peaceful. There were no reports of ballot boxes being snatched, BVAS failing, or results being changed at collation centres. In Florida, Tennessee and California, even where boundaries were redrawn to favour one party, voters still overcame gerrymandering.

In South Carolina, pediatrician Annie Andrews, a political newcomer, defeated a Trump-backed candidate. In Kansas, a Democrat won where a Democrat had not won in nearly 100 years - by a few thousand votes.

That is what happens when every vote counts.

In Nigeria, we must get to a point where a farmer in Abaji, a trader in Alaba, and a student in Nsukka truly believe their single vote can change a century-old political dynasty. INEC must ensure that the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) works, that results are transmitted live from polling units on IReV, and that collation is transparent. The courts must punish electoral offenders swiftly. Politicians must stop seeing elections as war.

If a vote in Kansas can end 94 years of Republican dominance, a vote in Sokoto, Rivers or Kano can end any dominance if it is allowed to count.

Lesson Three: Power belongs to the people, not the politicians

Perhaps the most powerful image from the US election was concession. Republican incumbents who had held office since 1997, like Senator Susan Collins of Maine, lost and conceded. No thugs were mobilised. No courts were pre-emptively procured. Vice President J.D. Vance publicly blamed his own party's policies for the defeat.

In America, politicians know they are servants, not masters. They campaign in diners, knock on doors, debate on television, and beg for votes. After winning, they know they can be fired in two years - because House members face re-election every two years.

In Nigeria, many politicians act as if they are above the people who elected them. They move with convoys that block the roads for the taxpayers who bought the cars. They award themselves jumbo pay while telling citizens to endure hardship. They defect from party to party without consulting the voters who gave them the mandate.

The US mid-terms remind us that power is borrowed. The people are the landlords. The politician is the tenant. In 2026, American landlords gave their tenants quit notice. In 2027, Nigerian landlords will have the same right.

Lesson Four: Institutions must be stronger than individuals

The US mid-term held because institutions worked. The Department of Justice did not stop opposition rallies. The police did not arrest opposition candidates. The media reported results freely. The electoral commission called states for both parties without fear.

Nigeria needs that level of institutional independence. INEC must be truly independent, not just in name. Security agencies must protect voters, not VIPs. The judiciary must be seen as the last hope of the common man, not the first hope of the highest bidder.

The choice before Nigeria

The just-concluded 2026 mid-term elections in America prove that democracy is self-correcting when allowed to work. When the people are unhappy, they don't need to carry arms. They carry their voter cards.

As we approach 2027, the message to the Nigerian politician is simple: You are not above the people. Your convoy does not make you bigger than the market woman who wakes at 4am. Your agbada does not make you more important than the young graduate who has no job.

The message to the Nigerian voter is even simpler: Your vote is your power. If you sell it for N5,000, you sell four years of your life. If you stay home, others will decide for you.

America has spoken. In Kansas, South Carolina and Texas, the people reminded their leaders who the real boss is.

In 2027, it will be Nigeria's turn to speak.

*Sujimoto Founder Makes Daily Times’ Top 100 Trailblazers List

Sujimoto Group Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Sijibomi Ogundele, has been named among Nigeria’s Top 100 Trailblazers by Daily Times Nigeria, alongside prominent business leaders and nation builders.

The recognition is part of activities marking the Daily Times’ centenary, celebrating 100 years of journalism and its contributions to Nigeria’s political, economic and social development since 1926.

The Daily Times Nigeria Trailblazer Awards is scheduled for Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

Other notable awardees include President Bola Ahmed Tinubu; and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who will receive Prestige Honours.

The Ooni of Ife, His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, is billed to receive the Community Impact Award and MTN Nigeria CEO, Dr Karl Olutokun Toriola, will receive the Digital Company of the Decade Award.

Ogundele, popularly known as Sujimoto, described the recognition as a call to greater responsibility, innovation and value creation, expressing appreciation to Daily Times for the honour.

He said being acknowledged by a media institution that has documented Nigeria’s history for a century made the recognition particularly significant, adding that it would inspire him to push boundaries and redefine possibilities.

The recognition comes against the backdrop of Sujimoto’s journey in Nigeria’s luxury real estate sector, particularly the challenges surrounding its flagship project, LucreziaBySujimoto, in Banana Island, Lagos.

Despite significant setbacks and financial difficulties that threatened the project, the company persevered to deliver the luxury development, demonstrating resilience and determination in the face of adversity.

Sujimoto is now advancing another ambitious project, Isabella de’ Medici by Sujimoto, a proposed 49-storey luxury hotel designed to redefine Nigeria’s hospitality landscape. The development is planned to feature premium suites, an architectural façade, a hanging infinity pool and other luxury amenities.

Founded in 2013, Sujimoto has continued to pursue high-end developments, with Ogundele identifying innovation, integrity and excellence as guiding principles.

He said the recognition, particularly being listed alongside distinguished Nigerians, was both humbling and inspiring, reaffirming his commitment to creating greater value and advancing what he describes as the “Spirit of Possibility.”

Ogundele expressed profound appreciation to the organisers of the recognition, describing it as an honour that would further inspire him to pursue the enormous vision ahead. He noted that despite the milestones achieved so far, he believes he has yet to explore 10 per cent of his potential, adding that the recognition would spur him to dream bigger, remain relentless and dedicate himself to building greater value and achieving even more impactful milestones.

The Sujimoto founder concluded with his trademark words: “1+1 is still 11. It is already too late to fail.”

Lies From The Pit Of HELL: Ignore the Rumor, Popular Gospel Artist Tope Alabi Didn’t Donate N50m for Toluwanising’s Burial

~By Oluwaseun Fabiyi
​
The attention of veteran gospel minister Mrs. Tope Alabi and her husband, Mr. Soji Alabi, has been drawn to a malicious, false report circulating across social media platforms

The deceptive post fabricated by reckless bloggers claims that the gospel singer donated N50 million towards the burial of the late gospel artist Toluwanising, accompanied by fake photos and a photoshopped cheque

​The Alabi Family Debunks the Fake News:

​To ascertain the truth, Bethnews Media and publicist Oluwaseun Fabiyi contacted the Alabi family directly. In a brief Whatsapp chat early Monday morning, November 2, 2026, Mr. Alabi expressed utter shock and disappointment over the fabricated report, confirming that neither he nor his wife knew anything about the alleged donation

​"It is completely false and baseless," Mr. Alabi stated, expressing deep dismay at the impunity with which unverified news is being manufactured and spread across the internet

​A Stern Warning and Legal Implications:

​The Alabi family officially warns all perpetrators and fake news purveyors to desist immediately

The couple, renowned for their integrity and decades of dedicated ministry, emphasized that no amount of clickbait fabrication will tarnish the good name and legacy they have built in the gospel music industry

​Publishing false, malicious, and defamatory reports is a grave criminal offense under Section 24(2) of the Nigerian Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Amendment Act

Any blogger, media handle, or individual who fails to immediately take down this fake news from their platforms will face swift legal action, and the family will ensure the perpetrators face the full weight of the law
​
​It is deeply disheartening to see irresponsible digital creators eroding public trust and undermining mainstream journalism in Nigeria through fabricated stories

​Mr. and Mrs. Tope Alabi remains exemplary figures and trailblazers who continue to contribute immensely to the gospel music sector and the broader entertainment landscape

The public is strongly advised to disregard the baseless rumor in its entirety.
​A word is enough for the wise.

Why Doris Ogala and her cohort can't shake Dr. Chris Okafor


..Congregation Rallies Behind Dr. Chris Okafor as Cyberbullying Trial Continues

​During the Partnership Sunday service, congregants proudly displayed their unwavering belief in the divine call upon their spiritual father

The atmosphere was charged with fervent support from faithful followers, who made it clear that truth will always prevail against coordinated falsehoods and extortion attempts

​With recent developments unfolding, supporters noted that divine intervention is steadily exposing the false narratives surrounding the controversy

Observers at the service on Sunday November 1 emphasized that the congregation stands solidly behind the Generational Prophet, unfazed by the noise

​This comes in the wake of ongoing legal proceedings involving Nollywood actress Doris Ogala, who is currently remanded at the Kirikiri Correctional Centre

Her bail application for cyberbullying and cyberstalking charges has been adjourned for ruling until November 6. Legal analysts and well-wishers continue to monitor the case as it proceeds through the Federal High Court.

Due to her prior absences, Justice Aluko initially ordered her remand on October 28 pending an accelerated bail hearing.
​Courtroom Commotion
​Rather than remaining calm, the defendant began shouting, causing a commotion, and singing "Solidarity Forever" inside the courtroom, severely testing the patience of the bench

​During Friday’s accelerated bail hearing (October 30), prosecutor Tolulope Mokulu and defense counsel Marshall Abubakar faced the judge

Abubakar urged the court to grant a soft landing for Ogala, maintaining her constitutional presumption of innocence and pledging via affidavit (paragraph 9.0) to personally produce her at all subsequent hearings.

The defendant was brought before Justice Akintayo Aluko to face a three-count charge

Every service at Grace Nation Global is a plus. You cannot visit any of the Grace Nation branches across the world or the International Headquarters without returning with a tangible testimony to the glory of God.

*From Lucrezia to Isabella: Sujimoto Unveils 49-Storey Isabella Hotel, Targets Nigeria’s Tallest Luxury Hotel*

Sujimoto Group has unveiled plans for a 49-storey luxury hotel, Isabella de’ Medici by Sujimoto, which it says is conceived to become Nigeria’s tallest and most luxurious hotel.

The project, according to the company, will combine luxury hospitality, leisure and private hotel-suite ownership, with investors able to acquire individual suites for personal use or participation in a professionally managed rental pool.

The announcement comes as Sujimoto moves towards completing its flagship Lucrezia by Sujimoto residential development on Banana Island, Lagos, where the company says homeowners have begun taking possession of their properties.

Named after Isabella de’ Medici, a member of the influential Italian Medici family, the proposed hotel draws inspiration from Renaissance Florence and is designed to position Lagos as a destination for international luxury tourism.

Sujimoto said the development would feature a sculptural KRION façade, a grand lobby aquarium described as potentially Africa’s largest hotel-lobby aquarium, a hanging infinity pool on the 35th floor, international restaurants, luxury boutiques, wellness facilities, a private cinema, casino, billiards lounge and sky bar.

The company said its ambition was to compete with leading international hospitality brands, including Four Seasons, while showcasing African hospitality.

Investors to Acquire Hotel Suites from $150,000

Beyond hospitality, Sujimoto is introducing a private ownership model that would allow investors to own individual hotel suites rather than entire residential properties.

The company said prices for its 45-square-metre deluxe suites would begin at $150,000 during the pre-launch phase, with the price scheduled to rise to $210,000 at groundbreaking and potentially increase further as construction progresses.

According to the company, founding investors would have the opportunity to name their suites after themselves and enjoy up to 21 days of personal use annually, subject to the terms of the proposed managed rental pool.

Sujimoto projects annual rental income of up to $30,000 on a $150,000 suite, representing a potential yield of 20 per cent. It also projects returns on equity of up to 300 per cent by completion.

However, the company’s projected income and returns are estimates and are not guaranteed. Actual performance would depend on factors including occupancy rates, operating expenses, management fees, market conditions and the final terms of the investment arrangement.

The company further outlined a proposed price progression from $150,000 at pre-launch to as much as $600,000 upon completion, depending on the stage of construction.

In its announcement, Sujimoto’s Group Managing Director, Dr Sijibomi Ogundele, reflected on the challenges encountered during the development of Lucrezia, acknowledging that rising construction costs, exchange-rate volatility, borrowing obligations and regulatory hurdles had placed significant pressure on the project.

The company said it had installed 112 piles beneath the Banana Island development as part of its foundation engineering but admitted that its financing structure had not been sufficiently protected against economic shocks.

Sujimoto said the experience had prompted it to adopt stricter financial controls for Isabella, including more prudent borrowing, aligning commitments with available funding, introducing financial safeguards at construction milestones and strengthening risk assessment.

The company maintained that despite the difficulties, it remained committed to completing Lucrezia and fulfilling its obligations to investors and homeowners.

Lucrezia is a 15-storey luxury residential development featuring four-bedroom maisonettes of approximately 600 square metres, alongside premium penthouses.

Sujimoto also cited the reported appreciation of one Lucrezia unit purchased for about ₦650 million to a current offer of ₦5 billion as an example of the potential value appreciation associated with its developments. The figures were provided by the company and were not independently verified.

Sujimoto said Isabella was conceived not merely as another luxury hotel but as a destination capable of attracting visitors from across the world.

The company’s vision draws on the legacy of the Medici family, whose patronage helped establish Florence as one of the defining cultural centres of the Renaissance.

According to Sujimoto, the hotel’s architectural design and planned leisure facilities are intended to create a distinctive hospitality experience in Lagos.

The company said lessons from Lucrezia would inform the execution of Isabella, with a stronger emphasis on financial discipline, transparency and keeping investors informed throughout construction and eventual hotel operations.

Ogundele, who heads Sujimoto Group, has spearheaded several luxury real estate developments, including Lucrezia by Sujimoto, Leonardo by Sujimoto, the Sujimoto Twin Tower and Queen Amina by Sujimoto.

The proposed Isabella de’ Medici project represents the company’s latest ambition to expand beyond luxury residential real estate into large-scale hospitality and investment-driven developments.

While the company has outlined its architectural vision and investment projections, the project's delivery timeline, financing arrangements and the independent verification of its projected returns remain important considerations for prospective investors.

Popular Lagos Prophet, Dr. Chris Okafor, Announces January 6-7, 2027, for Late Dad's Befitting Burial

Your Tithe Alone Can Never Make You Wealthy
...Prophet Genesis Breaks Down the Real Key to Success
~By Oluwaseun Fabiyi

​In a powerful and thought-provoking sermon, the world-televangelist seer and spiritual leader, Prophet Israel Oladele Ogundipe known as Genesis has sparked a major conversation about the true relationship between faith, financial giving, and hard work

​The dynamic minister addressed a common misconception among believers, urging them to develop a practical understanding of how real wealth is built rather than relying solely on tithes and offerings

​Prayer and Offerings Without Work Lead to Frustration
Addressing the Genesis Global congregation, Prophet Genesis delivered a blunt truth; giving offerings alone will not rescue anyone from hardship, nor will spending endless hours in prayer without action bring success

​"Your offering cannot bring you out of suffering, and spending all your hours in prayer without productive action will only leave you frustrated and empty-handed," the prophet cautioned

​He emphasized that while prayer and spiritual devotion are vital, they were never designed to replace strategic effort, knowledge, and execution

​​It remains a mystery why many Christians, despite having access to the Scriptures, fall prey to misleading doctrines that demand they empty their pockets into church accounts in pursuit of overnight miracles

Prophet Genesis the shepherd in charge of Genesis Global Alakuko Lagos pointed out that a lack of biblical knowledge and practical wisdom leaves many vulnerable to exploitation often keeping them trapped in a cycle of poverty

​Faith is not a substitute for critical thinking. Believers must use wisdom and guard against emotional manipulation

​The core message is straightforward: your tithe and offering will not magically make you rich only legitimate, diligent hard work combined with wisdom will

Thinking you can use money to influence or "bribe" God into changing His principles is a dangerous delusion. Divine principles are fixed as God blesses the work of your hands, not your idleness

It is time for believers to wake up, apply sound judgment, and pair their spiritual lives with meaningful, value-creating work

Be mindful of the danger of Spiritual Blindness.

GRACE NATION GLOBAL IS BIRTHED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, INTEGRITY, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND DISCIPLINE –DR CHRIS OKAFOR

...The Vehicle That Carries The Prophetic Mandate In Grace Nation Is The Holy Spirit

The Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, the Generational Prophet of God, Dr. Chris Okafor, has reaffirmed the core mission statement and foundation of Grace Nation Global, declaring that the church is birthed in the Holy Spirit, integrity, righteousness and discipline.

The Generational Prophet Dr Chris Okafor made this known during the Communion Sunday Service held at the International Headquarters of Grace Nation Global, Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria, while delivering a lecture at the Membership Class themed “Discovery Grace Nation Global Membership 01” on Sunday, 18th October, 2026.

According to the renowned Popular Lagos Prophet, the mission statement of Grace Nation Global remains clear and unwavering: to make Jesus popular, to make life better, and to bring the common man into greatness.

He stressed that prophecy without the Holy Spirit is empty, adding that the vehicle that carries the prophetic movement in Grace Nation is the Holy Spirit.

There is no prophecy that can have great impact except the one that comes from God. In Grace Nation Global, the Holy Spirit is the vehicle that carries our prophetic mandate. Without the Holy Spirit, prophecy is mere speculation,” The Generational Prophet Dr Chris Okafor said.

The Generational Prophet explained that Grace Nation is not just a church but a divine movement with a mandate to raise champions, restore destinies and transform the common man into a man of influence through the power of the Holy Spirit.

The Man of God further charged both new and old members to imbibe the culture of integrity, righteousness, discipline and total dependence on the Holy Spirit, which he described as the four pillars upon which Grace Nation Global is built.

The enlightening teaching, which provided deep insight into the vision, values and spiritual culture of Grace Nation Global, was well received by members, who reaffirmed their commitment to the vision of the church.

The Divine Intervention and Breakthrough service climaxed with the Word, prophetic declarations, Healings, Deliverance , Restoration, Solutions and diverse testimonies of God’s power with evidence.

DEMONIC ACTIVITIES ALTER MANY DESTINIES — DR. CHRIS OKAFOR

...Generational Prophet Teaches Grace Nation Citizens How To Deploy Strategic Prayers For Restoration

Prayer remains the hallmark of the Generational Prophet of God, Dr. Chris Okafor. His lifestyle, teachings, humanitarian service and entire ministry are built around prayer.

The Generational Prophet Dr Chris Okafor sleeps praying, eats praying, and even while driving, he prays. That is why he wins every battle before it begins, Every issue is settled on his knees while communing with his Creator. He prays as though there is no tomorrow and reinforces his prayer life with uncommon sacrifice.

At the Midweek Prophecy, Healing, Deliverance and Solutions Service (PHDS) held at the International Headquarters of Grace Nation Global, Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria, Dr. Chris Okafor enlightened the congregation on the importance of strategic prayers in reclaiming lost glories.

Teaching on the topic, "Demonic Activities That Change Destinies," the Generational Prophet revealed that many destinies have been manipulated, exchanged and caged through demonic activities, envy, evil altars and satanic conspiracies.

According to the famous Lagos Prophet, until a believer understands how to deploy targeted and strategic prayers, he may continue to labour under demonic oppression without results.

Not every closed door is ordinary. Some are products of demonic activities programmed to frustrate your destiny. But when you engage in strategic, violent prayers, you recover all," Dr Chris Okafor declared.

The Clergyman thereafter led the congregation into fervent prophetic prayers for restoration, deliverance and total recovery, triggering instant testimonies of breakthroughs, healing and liberation across the auditorium.

The highly anointed service climaxed with prophetic declarations for open doors, marital restoration, financial emancipation and total turnaround for all Grace Nation citizens

The Limits of Free Speech: Why Prophet Genesis Is Right to Seek Legal Redress Against Cyber-Blackmailers
...How would you react if someone falsely defamed you online someone who doesn't even know you?

~By Oluwaseun Fabiyi

​It is deeply baffling to see individuals with myopic mindsets ranting on social media, spewing baseless opinions without balancing the facts. It makes one wonder if such people use common sense at all

​A few weeks ago, certain content creators launched a smear campaign against a peaceful man of God, Prophet Oladele Israel Ogundipe (popularly known as Prophet Genesis), shepherd in charge of Genesis Global, Alakuko, Lagos

During a podcast hosted by one Alfa Sunnah, a guest named Okiki boldly claimed in Yoruba: “I know Genesis very well, Oni fire, Ori Iye motor to ni, ko da oni Ifa nile to n bo” alleging that Prophet Genesis secretly worships idols and keeps shrine gods in his closet

This short interview clip went viral without any regard for the massive damage it could inflict on the Prophet’s reputation, ministry, or followers all presented without a single shred of proof or evidence

​In response, the media aide to Prophet Genesis, Oluwaseun Fabiyi, publicly refuted the interview as complete falsehoods and fabricated lies from the pit of hell. Prophet Genesis has nothing to do with idol worship

His ministry was founded on total submission, commitment, and humility before God the very reasons God continues to grant him unmerited grace and exceptional wisdom.
​For those who do not know Prophet Genesis personally, he is a deeply humble man

He is transparent enough to walk visitors through his entire residence, including his master bedroom, to disprove baseless rumors

He frequently invites visitors and strangers to share meals with him at his table. Because he holds no ill feelings toward anyone and accommodates all who come to him, God has continued to enlarge his coast a reality that keeps bewildering his detractors

​Attacking Prophet Genesis will always remain a waste of energy because God has elevated him far above those acting as principalities and powers

He has faced and conquered severe trials in the past, and he refuses to be distracted now.
​Under the guise of "content creation," some individuals hide behind screens to defame people they have never met. While the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) guarantees freedom of speech, that freedom is not absolute it ends where defamation, slander, and character assassination begin

​Fabricating lies against an innocent citizen, a father, an uncle, and a spiritual leader overseeing over 10,000 congregants just to earn social media revenue is unacceptable. When you publicly allege wrongdoing against someone, you must be prepared to prove it in court

​Consequently, Alfa Sunnah and his collaborator, Okiki, have been arrested and remanded in a correctional center, where they will have the opportunity to prove their allegations legally. Reputation built over decades cannot be dragged through the mud for viral clicks

Let this serve as a stern warning to all digital perpetrators: the hunter can easily become the hunted.
​The court case continues

Watch out for the next hearing.

STEWARDSHIP: TO KNOW GOD, YOU MUST OBEY ALL HIS INSTRUCTIONS - DR CHRIS OKAFOR

...Lack Of Faithfulness Breeds Excuses

...Paying Tithe Is Mandatory Because Everything Comes From God

The Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor, Grace Nation Global, Dr Chris Okafor, has declared that paying tithe is a mandatory obligation for every Christian, because God remains the source and provider of all capital. He said God gives riches not for personal purposes, but for believers to use the riches to serve Him.

This and more formed the foundation of his teaching at the Grace Nation Divine Intervention and Breakthrough Sunday Service held at the international headquarters of the church in Ojodu-Berger, Lagos, Nigeria.

The Popular Lagos Prophet, who returned to the country a few hours ago from the highly successful Zambia Mighty Turn Around Conference, cleared the air on the controversial issue of tithe payment.

According to him, if a believer truly wants to get more from God, 10% is very small compared to what God gives, but according to scriptures, it is a divine instruction that must be obeyed.

God is the source of the fund everyone is debating about. He gives you the power to make wealth. So, returning 10% to Him is not too much. In fact, 10% is too small for what God does," Dr Okafor said.

Speaking on the theme Stewardship, the man of God said true stewardship is about knowing God and obeying all His instructions without excuses.

To know God, you must obey all His instructions. Stewardship is not about what you give, but about your obedience to divine principles. Lack of faithfulness will always give you excuses not to serve God," he stated.

He explained that many Christians struggle because they fail to understand the principle of stewardship, stressing that everything a man has comes from God and must be managed for God's glory.


Paying tithe is mandatory because everything comes from God. When you pay your tithe, you are telling God that you acknowledge Him as your source. God does not need your money, but He wants to see your faithfulness," the Generational Prophet added.

He further charged Christians to be faithful stewards in all areas of life, including their time, talents and resources, noting that faithfulness is what provokes divine increase.

The service was climaxed with diverse testimonies, deliverance, healing and prophetic declarations, as faithful were blessed with words of knowledge and solutions to their diverse challenges.

It will be recalled that the Generational Prophet of God Dr Chris Okafor remains one of the Most Popular Global Prophet of God with accuracy in Prophecy, He just came back from Zambia where the Mighty hand of God performs wonder at the Zambia KITWE Mighty Turn Around Conference with diverse kind of Testimonies, Healings and miracles, For years to come the Nation of Zambia will continue to enjoy the Grace and Fresh Annointing Received to the glory of God

Elele said if given the mandate to represent the constituency at the Lagos State House of Assembly in 2027, he will change the narrative of representation and ensure that every ward and street feels the impact of government.

My decision to offer myself for service is not for personal gain, but for the collective progress of our people. Ifako-Ijaiye is my home and I cannot watch my people continue to suffer when we have what it takes to make things work. I understand the pains of our market women, our youths, our artisans, and our elderly," he added.

POPULAR LAGOS PROPHET DR. CHRIS OKAFOR SHAKES KITWE, ZAMBIA WITH MIRACLES, HEALINGS AND DELIVERANCE

...Declares That Within 24 Hours, Every Job, Marriage, Promotion, Glory And Business Shall Come Alive

...To See The Help Of God You Must Be Genuinely Born Again – Okafor


The Zambia Mighty Turn Around Conference has come and gone, but the memories will continue to be evident in the lives of those who participated in the 3-day prophetic conference. Also, it will take a while for the various testimonies from the program to decline because God really came down mightily to deliver His people and prepare them for a greater future to come.

It was all-round miracles, deliverance, healings, restoration and solutions in the lives of the faithful. God used His anointed servant, The Generational Prophet of God, Dr. Chris Okafor, with fresh anointing to terminate bloodline sickness, barrenness, poverty, and late marriage in the lives of the people.

Miracle babies, good jobs, foreign benefits were all given to people by Elohim, while evil altars and the strong men behind those altars were all destroyed. God used the Generational Prophet to visit villages and altars where legal captives were kept, and instantly they were set free. The mighty hand of God that turns situations around was visible at the final day of the Zambia Mighty Turn Around Conference.

Earlier in his teaching, The Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor, Grace Nation Global, who also doubles as the Convener of Chris Okafor World Outreach Ministries (COWOM), Dr. Chris Okafor, taught on the theme of the conference, The Mighty Turn Around, with subtitle Visitation, said there are battles that promote you to a higher ground.

The Famour Lagos Prophet also remarked that what you carry determines the kind of problems you face. The Generational Prophet further stated that in matters of destiny, battles are not the same, therefore you need God as your Lord and Saviour to turn things around in your life.

"When God shows up in your life, it looks like a dream, but the evidence that comes as a result of your commitment to God's work gives you an advantage to enjoy the Mighty Turn Around blessings,"_ he said.

Highlighting scriptural visitation as a catalyst for Mighty Turn Around, the man of God said God is an unchangeable God who changes situations, saying whenever there is prayer, God is there, but where there are no prayers, God is not there. Prayer brings God into a situation, and when God appears, situations change for the better.

Therefore, to experience and enjoy the Mighty Turn Around of God in your life, you must be genuinely born again, be a prayerful person, and be committed to the things of God, then you will experience visitation from God and everything around you and concerning you shall be changed for good.

Declaring at the grand finale, Dr. Chris Okafor said within 24 hours, every dead job, marriage, promotion, glory and business shall come alive again.

"Within 24 hours, whatever is dead in your life shall come alive. Your glory, your marriage, your job, your promotion, your business shall bounce back in Jesus' name,"_ the Generational Prophet declared

He however noted that to see the help of God, one must be genuinely born again and live a life that pleases God.

"To see the help of God, you must be genuinely born again. When you are in Christ, your case becomes God's case, and Elohim will fight for you."

Over 5,000 faithful rededicated their lives to Christ at the conference.

The Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor, Grace Nation Global, Dr. Chris Okafor, seized the opportunity to pray for the Government of Zambia and all its citizens, declaring that the land of Zambia will continue to yield fruitful results and praying for divine wisdom upon its leadership for a better future for all and sundry.

The conference ended on a high note with diverse testimonies, healings, and restoration, as participants returned home with joy, believing that Kitwe, Zambia has truly experienced a Mighty Turn Around.

...Unusual Response Brings About Unusual Results

...Understanding Causes The Liberty Of The Spirit – Okafor



The Mighty Turn Around Conference Day 2 began on a wonderful note as many testified to the goodness of God and put the devil to shame.

A woman who had been suffering from menstrual seizure for more than 4 years came to the Mighty Turn Around Conference with the anticipation to witness the mighty hand of God. On Day 1 of the conference, she received her healing and returned on Day 2 to testify that God has healed her completely. According to her, the blocked menstrual cycle is now flowing normally. This is just one among many instant testimonies recorded at the conference.

"Understanding makes you outstanding in life. Unusual response brings about unusual results. When you understand the ways of the Spirit, you enjoy the liberty of the Spirit,"_ the Generational Prophet declared.

He explained that many people remain in bondage because they lack understanding of their foundation and the spiritual operations behind their father's house. According to him, until you understand the yoke, you cannot break it.

The Lagos Prophet further taught that to sustain breakthrough after deliverance, a believer must remain connected to God, live a life of holiness, engage in consistent prayers, and become a committed soul winner.

The Day 2 session witnessed more explosive miracles, deliverance, prophetic declarations, and instant testimonies, as thousands trooped to the altar for family liberation prayers.

YOU CANNOT BE A WITNESS FOR GOD AND BE STRANDED – DR CHRIS OKAFOR

...Until You Are Useful To God, He Cannot Give You His Useful Resources

...He That Winneth A Soul Is Wise And Will Enjoy Elohim's Fruitful Resources



The Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, Dr Chris Okafor has challenged children of God to become committed soul winners, declaring that no one can be a true witness for God and remain stranded in life.

Teaching at the Special Business Prophetic and Breakthrough Sunday Service held at the international headquarters of Grace Nation worldwide in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, Nigeria, The Generational Prophet remarked that until you become useful to God, He will not release His useful resources into your hands.

Speaking on the topic "Effective Soul Winning", the Lagos Popular Prophet, who is set to storm Zambia for a 3-day prophetic conference tagged Mighty Turn Around emphasized that divine wisdom is essential to become a fruitful soul winner.

"He that winneth a soul is wise and will enjoy Elohim's resources. When you win souls into the Kingdom, God will supply all the useful resources you need to become more fruitful in life," The Generational Prophet Dr Chris Okafor declared.

The Man of God explained that soul winning is not merely a church activity but a divine mandate and a covenant pathway to supernatural provision, protection, and promotion. According to him, God is committed to blessing those who are committed to populating His Kingdom.

ALIKO DANGOTE HAS FAILED WOEFULLY”: SUJIMOTO REVISITS THE CRUDE MISCALCULATION EXPERTS ONCE CEMENTED AROUND DANGOTE REFINERY

At 700,000 barrels a day, more than $13 billion in half-year revenue and a ₦2.15 trillion People’s IPO, the Dangote story has outgrown petroleum. For Sujimoto, its greatest dividend is the discipline of delivery, the economics of value addition, and the courage to turn African potential into African production._

In October 1997, Apple was going through one of the darkest periods in its history when Michael Dell, founder of rival computer giant Dell, was asked before several thousand technology executives in Orlando what he would do if Apple were his company. At a time when Apple was deep in losses and public confidence was fading, Dell said he would shut it down and return the money to shareholders. By then, Apple had been written off so publicly that Dell’s verdict reflected what much of the industry already believed.

More than a decade later, the same tension between experience and possibility would surface on an entirely different frontier: space. Elon Musk was betting that a private company could build rockets, reduce the cost of reaching orbit and eventually carry human beings into space, an arena long dominated by governments, NASA and giant aerospace contractors. Among those questioning that new era of commercial spaceflight were Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan, the first and last men to walk on the moon, two men Musk deeply admired.

Yet history has repeatedly shown that *the most compelling criticisms are not always delivered by ignorant people*. They often come from accomplished professionals, respected mentors, successful businessmen and industry veterans whose experience gives their caution enormous authority. They may correctly identify the risks, the failures and every reason the destination appears impossible to reach, while still misjudging the capacity of the person determined to get there.

That contest between experience and possibility has always fascinated me because I have watched it unfold on one of the grandest stages of African enterprise, in the story of Africa’s richest man, Alhaji Aliko Dangote. He had already tasted both victory and disappointment. His textile venture suffered under the weight of smuggling and an unforgiving operating environment, while his move into telecommunications, despite licences and infrastructure investments, never became another cement-sized empire. So when petroleum came, Dangote was not venturing into another industry believing he possessed a Midas touch.

Nigeria had supplied enough history to make that pessimism seem entirely justified. We produced crude oil for decades yet became experts at fuel queues, yellow jerrycans, generator rationing and transport fares that moved with pump prices, while fuel subsidy remained a recurring national burden and political dilemma. Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna had become shorthand for our national frustration with refining. Different administrations changed policies and prices, but the contradiction endured: we had crude beneath our soil and still imported much of the petrol that powered our homes, cars and businesses.

Against that history, Dangote was attempting something many seasoned professionals considered almost reckless: a refinery whose eventual investment would approach *$20 billion*, built around a single train of extraordinary scale and dependent on crude supply, foreign exchange, financing, engineering and execution aligning over years. One serious miscalculation could turn industrial audacity into one of Africa’s most expensive business lessons.

I personally heard accomplished professionals make exactly that case at social gatherings. Once the drinks began to flow, ties loosened and business surrendered to banter, Alhaji Aliko Dangote’s refinery would eventually find its way into the conversation. Oil and gas experts, billionaires with downstream investments, professional bankers and wealth managers would dismantle the refinery before the ice had melted.

Around those tables were men with decades of experience in petroleum, professionals who knew downstream operations intimately. They pointed to failed refinery projects, foreign-exchange crises, governments, international operators and billions already lost, then asked: *what exactly did Dangote know that everybody else had missed?* Their verdict was simple: he had gone too far; the refinery would swallow him. Dangote should have remained in cement.

*“This refinery will never happen.”* More remarkably, Alhaji Dangote himself admitted that when he began the project, he had *“never, ever seen crude oil”* in his life. He therefore had to acquire the engineers, knowledge, technology, financing and execution capability the undertaking demanded. His advantage was not that he knew less; it was that what he did not know had not yet become an excuse for what could not be done.

Perhaps that is why my first encounter with the refinery at Ibeju-Lekki five years ago reshaped the way I thought about scale. *I went to see the enormity of a project and returned questioning the size of my own ambition.* That order of thinking quadrupled our vision at Sujimoto and sharpened another conviction: the painful privilege of learning from mistakes on our previous projects had shown us what we must never repeat.

Great entrepreneurs do not succeed by ignoring expertise; they build enough competence to answer it. The engineer must expose the structural weakness, the banker must interrogate the numbers and the operator must identify what experience says can fail. *The purpose of expertise is to strengthen a great vision, not automatically reduce it to the boundaries of precedent.*

I had been called and personally invited to attend the commissioning of the Dangote Refinery on 22 May 2023. I saw familiar faces, including men who had once given powerful professional reasons why the refinery could never succeed. Around us stood the pipes, tanks and industrial infrastructure that years earlier existed largely as an audacious proposition. Men who had dissected the dream over drinks were now witnessing its arrival.

That same professional resistance confronted us while delivering LucreziaBySujimoto in Banana Island, one of our most ambitious residential developments. At a time when the economy turned against us, with the naira depreciating, imported materials growing costlier and timelines stretching, professionals and investors questioned whether a project of that magnitude could still be delivered. Earlier mistakes had taught us what never to repeat. The warnings were understandable; allowing them to become our conclusion would have been the greater mistake.

Even commissioning was not the final answer. The refinery still had to prove itself through production, crude supply, pricing and the unforgiving economics of the market. By 2026, it was processing about *700,000 barrels a day*. In the first half of the year, it recorded *more than $13 billion in revenue and $1.82 billion in net profit*, reversing a $476 million loss in 2025, while plans were underway to expand capacity towards *1.4 million barrels per day by 2029*.

By September 2026, the same refinery once dismissed as impossible was inviting Nigerians to own a piece of it. Dangote Petroleum Refinery offered *4.1 billion shares at ₦525 each*, seeking about *₦2.15 trillion* in Africa’s largest IPO. The refinery many accomplished professionals once feared would consume Dangote’s fortune had become an asset everyday Nigerians were rushing to own.

Measured against the ending so confidently written for him, *Alhaji Aliko Dangote has failed woefully*. He failed to remain safely inside cement when cement had already given him extraordinary wealth. He failed to allow the bruises of textiles or an unrealised telecommunications ambition to make unfamiliar industries permanently forbidden territory. Most importantly, he failed to become the cautionary tale many accomplished professionals had already written for him.

His critics were often right about the risks, right about the cost and right about how difficult the journey could become. *Their error was not in seeing the mountain; it was in believing that seeing the mountain gave them the authority to pronounce the climber’s fate.* That is the crude miscalculation worth remembering whenever accomplished professionals, respected mentors or seasoned advisers tell an entrepreneur that an audacious destination cannot be reached.

Africa needs professionals who challenge weak assumptions, bankers who reject reckless financing, engineers who refuse bad structures and mentors courageous enough to confront entrepreneurs with uncomfortable truths. But entrepreneurs must also understand where advice ends and ownership begins. Listen carefully to expertise, learn aggressively from failure and allow criticism to improve the vision, but never surrender the boundaries of what is possible simply because precedent cannot yet explain what you are trying to build. *Experience should illuminate the road; it should never dictate the destination.*

NIGERIA @ 66: POPULAR LAGOS PROPHET DR. CHRIS OKAFOR CELEBRATES NATION, CHARGES NIGERIANS TO PRAY FOR SURVIVAL OF DEMOCRACY

...Says For Deliverance To Happen, There Must Be Prayer



Popular Lagos Prophet and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Global, Dr. Chris Okafor, popularly known as The Generational Prophet of God, has joined eminent Nigerians at home and in the diaspora to celebrate Nigeria as the nation marks its 66th Independence Anniversary.

In his Independence message, the renowned Man of God congratulated Nigerians for their resilience, patience, and faith in the country despite daunting socio-economic and security challenges.

Dr Chris Okafor charged Nigerians to remain united and to continue to pray fervently for the survival of the nation's nascent democracy, stressing that the future of Nigeria depends largely on the prayers and unity of its citizens.

The Generational Prophet also urged Nigerians to support the government in its efforts to restructure the country for greater efficiency, so that the dividends of democracy can be felt at all levels, from the grassroots to the national stage.

According to the Generational Prophet, what Nigeria needs now, more than ever, is unity to overcome the challenges of insecurity, economic hardship, and division, and to put the nation back in its frontline role as a leading modern country in Africa.

"For deliverance to happen, there must be prayer. Nigeria will be delivered when Nigerians genuinely pray. We must not relent in praying for this nation,"_ Dr. Okafor declared.

The Man of God noted that prayer remains the most powerful weapon for national transformation, adding that no nation can rise above its spiritual altar. He therefore called on churches, mosques, and all people of faith to intensify intercession for Nigeria.

The Senior Pastor Grace Nation Global Dr Chris Okafor used the occasion to offer special prayers for all Nigerian leaders, from the Presidency to the state governors, legislators, and traditional rulers, asking God to grant them divine wisdom, good health, and the fear of God in steering the affairs of the nation as the country continues to transcend to greater heights.

The man of God further encouraged the youth, whom he described as the engine room of national development, to shun violence, crime, and all forms of social vices, and instead channel their energies toward productive ventures that will build a greater Nigeria.

Despite the present difficulties, The Generational Prophet expressed strong optimism about Nigeria's future, declaring that the nation remains richly blessed by God with human and natural resources capable of making it great again.

The popular Lagos clergyman concluded by prophesying a new dawn for the country, declaring that Nigeria at 66 will usher in a season of peace, economic recovery, and divine restoration.

"Nigeria shall rise again. Our unity is our strength, our prayer is our weapon,"the Generational Prophet of God Dr Chris Okafor added.

Happy 66th Independence Anniversary to all Nigerians!

LagRide Records 70% Growth, Accelerates Expansion With 100 New Captains, Targets 1,000 More by December

OLORUNDARE ENIMOLA, Lagos

LagRide Nigeria has recorded 70 per cent growth in its operations as the mobility company accelerates the expansion of its fleet and driver network across Lagos, deploying another 100 captains and setting a target to onboard 1,000 more by December 2026.

The latest deployment took place on Monday, September 28, at the LagRide hub in Alausa, marking the fourth wave of an expansion programme that has already brought about 400 new captains onto the platform.

For LagRide, the numbers reflect a broader period of growth. The company is expanding the availability of vehicles, building its driver network and strengthening its operating capacity as demand for mobility services increases across Lagos.

Executive Director of LagRide Nigeria, Mrs. Mildred Ekanem, said the company is deliberately scaling its operations to ensure that the growth of the platform is matched by the availability of professionally trained captains.

“Today is wave four of our 1,000-driver deployment. We have deployed about another 100 drivers to join the Lagos fleet and satisfy Lagos consumers when it comes to e-hailing, general logistics and related services,” Ekanem said.

She said LagRide’s recruitment remains open to both men and women, with the company focused on creating economic opportunities while developing a new generation of professional drivers.

“LagRide is an open platform, and we are not selective of whether you are male or female. We deal with men and women. We are not gender-selective,” she said.

Beyond increasing the number of drivers on the platform, LagRide is using the expansion to build what it describes as a more sustainable pathway for people seeking careers within the mobility industry.

Central to that strategy is its Drive-to-Own programme, which provides qualifying captains with a pathway from renting vehicles to eventually owning the assets they operate.

According to Ekanem, captains who successfully operate on the platform for approximately 90 to 100 days and meet the required conditions can become eligible to transition into the ownership programme.

“You move from renting a vehicle from us to driving your own asset while still operating under the LagRide platform,” she explained.

The model is designed to address one of the major challenges facing prospective e-hailing drivers: access to vehicles. By combining vehicle access with training, technology and an ownership pathway, LagRide is seeking to move drivers beyond earning from individual trips towards building longer-term economic value.

Ekanem said the approach reflects the wider human capital development philosophy of CIG Group and its Chairman, Chief Diana Chen.

“Our Chairman, Chief Diana Chen, is very big on people and development, especially human capital development. That is one thing that has driven the business,” she said.

“LagRide is not just about employment. We grow people from stage one to stage two, taking people from being empty to becoming executives and experts in their various fields.”

The company's expansion is also being timed ahead of the traditionally busy end-of-year period in Lagos, when increased commercial, social and travel activity places greater demand on transportation services.

Ekanem said the combination of new vehicles, additional captains and an expanded support workforce would enable LagRide to respond to that demand.

“As you can see here, these are brand-new vehicles. That tells you our 1,000 drivers is real. We are preparing in terms of vehicles being available, people being available to ride, and the workforce to support the work,” she said.

Executive Chairman of Tango Brooks Technologies Limited, Mr Peter Atuma, who attended the deployment, said the significance of the programme extends beyond providing drivers with another source of income.

“This is not just about giving people an opportunity to earn income by driving; it is also about creating a pathway for them to eventually own their own vehicles,” Atuma said.

He described the decision to refer to LagRide drivers as “captains” as reflective of the level of responsibility and professionalism expected from them.

Tango Brooks Technologies partners with LagRide through the Tango Fuel App, a fuel-management solution designed to support greater efficiency across fleet operations.

LagRide Fleet Manager, Mr Stephen Onah, meanwhile, told the newly deployed captains that increasing the number of vehicles on the road must be accompanied by strong operational standards.

“Our KPI is for you to succeed. You are not on this journey alone. We are here with you, and we are all here to make money together,” Onah said.

He encouraged the captains to maintain punctuality, comply with operational guidelines, care properly for their vehicles and work closely with fleet supervisors as they build their careers on the platform.

In an address delivered on behalf of LagRide Chairman, Chief Diana Chen, the new captains were also urged to prioritise professionalism, customer experience and safety.

“Every trip is an opportunity to make a lasting positive impression. From the way you drive to the way you communicate with your riders and care for your vehicle, every little detail contributes to the experience passengers will have with LagRide,” Chen said.

Some of the newly deployed captains said the combination of immediate earning opportunities and the prospect of vehicle ownership influenced their decision to join the platform.

Chinonso Favour Febo said he discovered LagRide through an online advertisement and viewed the platform as an opportunity for young Nigerians willing to work to build sustainable income.

Fatai Adeleke said the rental and Drive-to-Own structure attracted him to the platform, adding that LagRide’s training had also strengthened his understanding of road safety and customer relations.

Another captain, John Ochibo, said recommendations from friends already operating on the platform encouraged him to join, and he believes the programme can help him work towards his financial goals.

With about 400 captains already onboarded through the current deployment programme, LagRide says further waves will follow as it works towards adding 1,000 more captains by December.

For the company, the 70 per cent growth represents more than increased activity on its platform. It is driving a broader expansion strategy built around more vehicles, more professionally trained captains and a model intended to turn driving from an income opportunity into a pathway towards asset ownership.

NOT MY HEAD, NOT MY BLOOD 2026 ENDS IN GLORY: EVERY BATTLE, EVERY BARRIER ENDS BY THE POWER OF INSTRUCTIONS – DR. CHRIS OKAFOR

.....Every instruction that must work is embedded in Christ

....He who analyzed the Holy Spirit is a failure



It was four days of fresh fire, prophecy, deliverance and total restoration as the annual flagship Family Liberation Conference of Grace Nation Global, NOT MY HEAD, NOT MY BLOOD 2026, came to a glorious conclusion at the International Headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide, Ojodu-Berger, Lagos.

Themed "Ending The Circle Of Reproach," the highly anticipated prophetic gathering lived up to its billing, attracting thousands of worshippers from across Nigeria and the diaspora, both physically and online.

From the opening night to the grand finale, the conference witnessed an unusual outpouring of the Spirit, marked by diverse testimonies, instant miracles, healings, deliverance, restoration, divine solutions, and salvation of souls, as many gave their lives to Christ through rededication.

Declaring the conference closed, the Host and Senior Pastor of Grace Nation Worldwide, the Generational Prophet of God, Dr Chris Okafor, summed up the entire encounter in one powerful revelation: the mystery of divine instructions.

"Every battle, every barrier ends by the power of instructions. Willingness to listen to instructions will bring you out of every kind of barrier," Dr Chris Okafor declared.

According to the Man of God, many believers remain trapped in cycles of reproach not because God has forsaken them, but because they have either ignored or delayed in obeying divine instructions. He stressed that obedience is the shortest route to deliverance.

"He who analyses the Holy Ghost is a failure. The Holy Spirit is not to be analysed, He is to be obeyed. When He speaks, act immediately," the Generational Prophet warned.

One of the major highlights of this year's edition was the prophetic instruction on village sand. The Man of God had directed all participants to bring sand from their villages and ancestral homes. With deep prophetic insight, he prayed upon the sand, declaring total restoration and liberation for families, lands and foundations.

The Generational Prophet explained that in the realm of the spirit, distance is not a barrier. As prayers were offered, God visited villages, towns, homes and evil altars where destinies were tied down, and many lawful captives were set free. Instant testimonies followed, confirming the power of prophetic obedience.

Participants testified of broken yokes, terminated afflictions, restored marriages, opened wombs, financial breakthroughs, and divine favour. Others spoke of how long-standing family patterns of premature death, barrenness, poverty and shame were shattered.

Teaching on the theme, Ending The Circle of Reproach with subtitles The power of Instruction part 2, The Generational Prophet noted that reproach is a circle, and until it is confronted spiritually, it keeps repeating from one generation to another. However, he declared that through obedience to the instructions released during the conference, that evil circle has been permanently broken.

The Clergyman charged the congregation to document every instruction received during the four days and to diligently apply them at home, warning that the blessing of the conference is sustained by continued obedience.

The Family Liberation program Not My Head Not My Blood finale service climaxed with intense thanksgiving, prophetic blessings, and a mass rededication, as the congregation lifted their voices in gratitude to God for a life-transforming encounter.

In his closing remarks, The Generational Prophet of God Dr Chris Okafor specially appreciated all ministers, Church Management Teams, workers, choir, media team, and partners of the Chris Okafor Humanity Foundation for their sacrifices in making the 2026 edition a huge success.

Indeed, NOT MY HEAD, NOT MY BLOOD 2026 has ended, but the fire of liberation lit during the conference will continue to burn in homes, villages and Nations.

NIGHT OF PROPHECY AND SOLUTIONS: WHEN YOU OBEY INSTRUCTIONS, SOLUTION COMES WITH EASE – DR. CHRIS OKAFOR

.....Every Situation has a Solution in God

... there is Power in instructions to Terminate destruction

The second day of the flagship annual Family Liberation and Deliverance Conference of Grace Nation Global, NOT MY HEAD, NOT MY BLOOD 2026, was a night of undiluted prophecy , Miracles, Deliverance, Restoration and instant solutions.

With Theme "Ending The Circle Of Reproach," the Day 2 service, tagged Night of Prophecy and Solutions, held at the International Headquarters of Grace Nation Worldwide in Ojodu-Berger, Lagos, drew thousands of worshippers who came expectant for divine intervention.

Ministering with fresh Annointing ,power and deep revelation, the Generational Prophet of God and Senior Pastor, Grace Nation Worldwide, Dr Chris Okafor, taught on the topic "The Power Of Instruction."

According to the Man of God, every battle in life has a solution in God, but that solution is often locked inside an instruction. He declared that when you listen to instructions, carry them out, and obey divine directives, every battle or challenge ahead of you will turn out in your favour.

"When you obey instructions, the solution comes with ease," The Generational Prophet Dr Chris Okafor Okafor declared.

"When you obey instructions, it terminates destruction. Many people are praying for breakthroughs, but they are ignoring the instructions that carry their breakthroughs."

He explained that in the school of the Holy Spirit, instructions are not suggestions but spiritual codes for manifestation. When a believer understands and obeys divine instructions, everything becomes possible, because there is no situation without a solution in God.

"The instruction God gives you today, when obeyed, will take you out of crisis tomorrow. Your future is hidden in your present obedience," the Generational Prophet added.

The Popular Lagos Prophet Dr Chris Okafor further noted that the wall of Jericho did not fall by human strength but by obedience to a strange divine instruction. In the same way, he said, the circles of reproach shame, delay, affliction, poverty, and generational battles will collapse as participants obey the prophetic instructions released during this conference.

The service soon transitioned into a highly prophetic session as the Man of God moved in the word of knowledge, prophecy, and deliverance. Diverse miracles, healings, and instant testimonies were recorded as yokes were broken and long-standing problems received divine solutions.

Participants were charged to write down every instruction received, act on them in faith, and remain steadfast throughout the conference.
