ACTRESS, FUNKE AKINDELE AND HUSBAND, JJC SKILLZ HAVE CONFIRMED THEIR SEPERATION

JJC Skillz took to his official instagram page to announce the separation from Funke Akindele. Read the statement Below: 

Dear Friends and family I need to let you know

that Funke and I have separated. While it lasted we shared a lot of things together and have created 2 beautiful children. The last two years have been extremely difficult for us. I know I have tried my best to fix things but I believe it is beyond repair now. 

3 months ago and at Funkes insistence I moved out of the house and apart from AMVCA have not been able to get Funke to sit down in an amicable manner to discuss the future of our relationship. I'm making this announcement so that the public is clear that we both are pursuing separate lives. We still have issues that need to be addressed such as the custody and wellbeing of our children which is paramount as well as business interests which need to be disentangled but I

have no doubt that these will be resolved one way or the other.

- Mr Abdul Bello

23-year-old Delta lady, Efezino Patrick, shares her experience durung her strange Sickness

 

On spiritualist’s instructions, I drank urine twice daily for six months as purported cure for strange ailment, They also used frog and charcoal to make drugs for me – Delta lady

Kindly share this story:

A 23-year-old Delta lady, Efezino Patrick, shares with GODFREY GEORGE how she was allegedly poisoned at age 13 and suffered abdominal distention, which caused her unrelenting pains for seven years before help finally came

TELL US ABOUT YOURSELF .

My name is Efezino Patrick. I am from Agbarha Otor community, Ughelli, Delta State. I am 23 years old.  My mum and dad are divorced. We’re six kids in the family – two boys and four girls. I didn’t finish secondary school. I stopped at SS 2.  I had to stop because I was poisoned by someone at that time and had to suffer for seven years before help came.

WHEN EXACTLY DID THIS HAPPEN ?

It all began one day in March 2013. I just woke up one morning with a terrible stomach ache. I told my mum and she said, perhaps, I was about to see my menses. I was about 13 years old at that time.  But the ache didn’t stop. It grew worse and I couldn’t even walk. I was practically begging for my life. It was excruciating. So, my mum went to the pharmacy, got some drugs and I took them. The pain subsided a bit so I could sleep. The next day, I woke up to see that my stomach had become hard overnight. It was now protruding and was as though I was pregnant.

WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN YOU SAW THAT?

My mum quickly rushed me to a nearby clinic for medical attention. Tests and scans were done but the doctor did not seem to detect anything from the medical examination. He told my mum to seek alternative opinions from religious houses. He, however, gave me some drugs to calm the pains.

 

ON HEARING THIS FROM THE DOCTOR, WHAT ACTION DID YOU TAKE?

That same day, because the pain did not stop despite the drugs and my stomach had increased in size, my mum decided to take me to a native home to also find out what was going on. That was where the spiritual healer said I was poisoned by a relative. My mum did not believe that because I was only 13. Why would anyone want to poison me? So, she took me home. But she then recalled that a pastor had told her in a church that she should be careful because there was a plan by a family member to poison me and destroy my destiny.

‘I want to ride from Lagos to Israel, my destination is Everest’ – Nigerian biker, Kunle Adeyanju

Nigerian adventurer and London-to-Lagos biker, Kunle Adeyanju has said that his next adventure will be to ride from Lagos to Israel, and from Israel to Tibet.

Adeyanju revealed this in an exclusive interview with Arise TV last week Tuesday.

He took the world by surprise by spending 41 days to ride on a bike he named “Eagle” from London in April 19 and arrived in Lagos on May 29. In his exploration, he covered about 13,000 km across through 11 countries.

Sharing his experience, the biker said he was moved after his close friend died of polio and dedicated the journey to him to campaign against the disease that took his friend’s life two years ago. He also said that he would auction his Eagle bike which he wished could be in a museum for people to see in years to come.

“You know during the course of the trip, the bike became my friend, my closest companion. I spoke to him and discovered that machines also have soul. We may think they are just metals but they have soul because I spoke to Eagle a lot on the trip and the bike did respond back to me. We communicated.

Fr. Mbaka Apologizes To Peter Obi After Receiving Heavy Backlash For Calling Him A Stingy Man

Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, the fiery Enugu Catholic Priest, has apologized and prayed for the Labour Party Presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, according to Daily Post.

Mbaka made the apology after declaring that Peter Obi can never be Nigeria’s President.

He had during his latest ministration at the Adoration ground said that unless God ceases to exist, Obi would never smell the seat of the President adding that it was better to have an old man as President than a ‘stingy young man’.

The comment by the Catholic priest had stirred diverse reactions from Nigerians who accused him of hating Peter Obi because he refused to donate to his church.

However, the cleric in a statement he personally signed said he had no intention to malign His Excellency, Peter Obi’s image but to pray for him

He, therefore, apologized to Peter Obi and his supporters and paid that God will bless them.

”I am grateful to God for His unquantifiable and favourable blessings, miracles, love and life for the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Nigeria.

I assure the people of God and Nigerians that I am praying for Good Governance and Good Leadership in this country and that God will give us leaders after His own Heart.

BREAKING: London-based church group, SPAC Nation, Pastor Tobi Adegboyega has been allegedly arrested

BREAKING: London-based church group, SPAC Nation, has been wound up after failing to properly account for more than £1.87 million of outgoings and operating with a lack of transparency, the Insolvency Service has confirmed. 

Just In: UK govt shuts down pastor Tobi Adegboyega’s church over £1.9m fr@ud allegations 

The U.K government has shut down Salvation Proclaimers Anointed Church, commonly known as SPAC Nation, over an alleged £1.87 million fr@ud. 

The evangelical church which was founded by Pastor Tobi Adegboyega was wound up in the public interest in the High Court on Tuesday, June 9, 2022, the U.K government announced on Friday, June 17. 

According to a statement posted on the country’s website, the Official Receiver has been appointed as liquidator of the company.

“The court heard that SPAC Nation was incorporated in 2012, a charity set up to advance Christianity. Much of its charitable work was based in London, working particularly with vulnerable people, youth, and offenders.

Initially, the church group received positive reviews and media attention. But by late 2019 SPAC Nation was subject to media scrutiny following allegations by former church members they had been financially exploited by senior church personnel.

Investigators interviewed pastor Dapo Adegboyega and he said that the church group had over 2,000 members and 200 ordained ministers and pastors but failed to provide any supporting information.

Further enquiries found that SPAC Nation either failed to comply or only partially complied with statutory requirements, including providing data to support claimed donations, and accounting records in support of £1.87 million of expenditure.

The company’s financial statements in the two years to 31 December 2019 set out £610,000 of rent expenditure. However, the company did not have a single base of its own and would hire venues across London to hold services, at significant expense.

Salvation Proclaimer Ministries Limited was wound-up after the court concluded the company operated with a lack of transparency, filed suspicious or incorrect accounts, and was insolvent at the time of the hearing.

It was also recognised that the company provided inconsistent information to the Insolvency Service and Charity Commission, and failed to deliver up adequate accounting records,” the statement reads.
