Her post reads wrote,

Eyaa this is so painful to watch. Bringing back bad memories this early morning. Read on a blog that the man made this video to debunk Sahara reporters first claims of domestic violence. You can even hear him saying it in the video plus “are you videoing” “have you done it” clearly staged in an attempt at damage control. The woman is barely responding look at her eyes. I went further to read comments and people were saying that why did the woman join him to make the cover up video smh clearly you don’t know marriage, the power a man has over his wife. A wife he knows loves him. You don’t know about threats, manipulations etc As a wife who signed marriage for life you begin to ask yourself if you cast your husband, your crown, what will become of you and your marriage; some men will even quote Bible for you and tell you a wise woman builds her home but a foolish Woman pulls it down with her own hands. He will tell you, nobody is perfect do you think other women cast their husbands? We will settle it in house; tell you all sorts of manipulating things then your in laws will come and still talk their own so you will cover up. You want to be the proverbs 31 woman. The virtuous woman. You will cover up. Do you know how many cover up I did in less than 2 years of my own? I was rushed to emergency Ward, had oxygen fixed, struggling for my life, the bastard came and told me to lie for him because he may lose his job and why will I be responsible for the downfall of my husband so right there on the hospital bed I lied to who could have saved me. I remember the man was so angry with me cos he knew I was lying (let me leave bad memories abeg I’m in a better place forever) in conclusion mehn you young unmarried people especially small small girls should keep quiet and pray you don’t get into such situation; when you see a woman defending her abusive partner and later come out to cry out no be her clear eye. she finally decided to wake up and choose LIFE over society, over what will people say, over MARRIAGE.

I consider it a demotion if invited to become Nigeria’s president – Bishop Oyedepo

The presiding Bishop, Living Faith Church Worldwide, David Oyedepo on Sunday, October 4, 2020, said he would consider it a demotion if invited to become Nigeria’s president.

Speaking during the sermon, the bishop said: “I will consider it a demotion if I were invited to be the President of this great country. It’s a great country, it’s a great honour for anyone to be President but that’s not where I belong. I belong to above all nations.

Angry or happy, there are more than 100 nations now hooked on to this service; and we all belong there together. That’s where we belong. Some can see it, others can’t see it: They say, ‘I don’t believe it, I just need food, water and eat, drink and die. I don’t need above all nations.

I’ve said it before, the highest concentration of giants in this generation will emerge from this platform. If you are one of them, let me hear your loudest Amen. The same way, this Church did not need any human help to get to where we are, you won’t bow to any devil to scale any height in your life.

Watch, if I’m the one to lift you, I can only take you to where my hand can reach. Imagine the everlasting arm of Jesus, He picks you up, scaling everlasting heights. I can’t get you there. There is no help from man under heaven no matter who that man that will compare with help from God.”

According to him, the Federal Government should stop rehabilitating Boko Haram, rather they should rehabilitate Nigerians by sending SARS officials to Borno to fight Boko Haram.

This is coming following the social media outrage over the incessant killings and harassments of young Nigerians by SARS.

Reno Omokri opined that since SARS officials are already skilled at terrorizing people, they would be better off fighting Boko Haram in the North.

His tweet reads,

General @MBuhari, stop rehabilitating Boko Haram. Rehabilitate Nigerians by disbanding SARS immediately and sending them to Borno let them TERRORISE the TERRORISTS. Since they already know how to terrorise, they are tailor made for the job of fighting terrorists! #ENDSars
