Nigerians drag Pastor Adeboye for saying despite how powerful his wife is, she is still submissive to him

Yesterday, Monday the 13th of July, was Redeemed Christian Church of God leader, Pastor EA Adeboye’s wife, Foluke Adeboye’s birthday and the clergyman took to his social media page to celebrate his spouse and companion of over 50 years.

Celebrating her, the pastor said there’s so many things young brides can learn from her. He went on to say that despite being a powerful woman who gives out instructions to people, she still cooks his meals and serves him herself and is quite submissive to him in other things.

He wrote on his page,

Today is my wife’s birthday and there are lessons that women, especially so many young brides can learn from her. She is a powerful woman, I know that.
She has many people who take instructions from her, but as powerful as she is

Busy as she is, she still cooks my meals and serves me herself. Many young ladies these days leave everything to the house help. My wife still trims my nails for me. There was a time when I was a teacher and was staying far from town.

She had to cut my hair during that period.
She is the only partner of the Adeboye Corporation; she doesn’t delegate her primary duties to anyone else. Just like the virtuous woman described in Proverbs 31:1-31, I safely rest on my wife.

His statements has since caused a stir on Twitter with a lot of people —females especially— triggered over the fact that his wife, despite her stature and age, is still submissive to him.

This has caused the clergyman to become a trending topic on social networking platform, Twitter with many people having a thing or two to say about his birthday message to his wife.

See how some people are reacting to his message below,

A user wrote,

Pastor Adeboye should have just said “happy birthday flesh of my flesh” and keep it moving.
Now we know he can’t do basic things like feed himself and trim his nails.
TMI.

Another wrote,

Pastor Adeboye has all the right to have his wife submit to him. Honestly, even if she spoon feeds him, it’s not my business. My own is: know the kind of marriage you want. You want the one he’ll use your back as dinning table? Fine? You want equal partners kinda thing? Fine.

If Pastor Adeboye and Dangote gave you an appointment on the same day, same time. Who will you go and see? Be sincere!

If marriage is going to be how Baba Adeboye described it, then fvck it. I cannot can

Pastor Adeboye is not kuku setting standard for anyone,he’s only expressing how submissive his wife has been these past few years

Pastor Adeboye said “you can insult me, curse me.. I’ll only pray for you. But if you insult my wife, I’ll kill you! You won’t rise up on the resurrection morning”

You didn’t come out then?? Woke Twitter?!

Normally,Women are supposed to be submissive to their Husbands,Pastor Adeboye was just stating facts and Appreciating his wife for being submissive,so it’s stupid to insult him,when he was just being right. Plus:if he was a terrible Husband,submission would have been hard for her

can’t believe Adeboye really sat down & found a way to make his wife’s birthday about himself and his power over her. a simple “happy birthday my love” will do next time please

Pastor Adeboye decided to praise his wife on her birthday, thereby commenting on what has kept them together till date. But fools that can’t keep 6 months relationship are insulting him and turned it into a gender war.

All tweets shared are views expressed by different Twitter users on the viral trend “Pastor Adeboye” and do not reflect the opinions of yabaleftonline or any employee thereof.

“Anywhere he goes, people will know. Having grown up very poor in Nigeria, Mr Abbas is now paid to pose with high-priced items such as Louis Vuitton bags that people would buy after seeing his posts on Instagram.

“He is an influencer. That’s a job today, as much as it is hard to imagine. That’s a full-time job.”

Judge Jeffrey Gilbert who watched the proceedings from a prison video link, denied Hushpuppi bail on grounds of him being a flight risk.

He revealed that he ran into the mother of the said classmate and was surprised she was driving a “Danfo” instead of her usual luxury cars as her husband was a wealthy politician.

He then collected the woman’s phone number, gave her his and asked her to tell her son to call him.

Tobi asked him to move into his house with him and gave him a job.

Read the story below ;

”True life story: when I was in high school I used to have this friend his parents were so rich I mean so I thought his father was permanent secretary minister of agriculture something like that sha.

I lost my dad when I was in high school things got so difficult for my mum, she struggled to pay my fees which was like 200k per term at times she couldn’t even afford to give me food to school I would just go to school without food I couldn’t complain, I knew my mum was struggling.

This my friend noticed how things were and I remember him always sharing. The 1000 naira his mum gave him for food daily with me he would split it in 2 or sometimes he would just buy me food, he never let me starve we became really close I met his mum she was so nice, she used to drive the latest cars. He also met my mum.

Fast forward to about 3 weeks ago from today I went to computer village to do somethings and on my way back I saw this small Danfo bus parked in front of me and I was shocked to see a woman driving it, something just told me to look at the woman’s face properly.

I was so shocked to see that it was that my friends mum driving the small danfo bus, immediately I ran to her and I greeted her, she was so happy to see me then all of a sudden she started crying. I couldn’t talk much I collected her number and gave her mine to give her son.

I told her to tell her son to call me. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I heard the whole story, apparently his rich father had so many wives girlfriends and kids and he abandoned the woman to take care of her kids(she had 2 kids for him).

I was so sad immediately I sent his mum some money to pay off some debts and I took my friend in and I made so many calls, at least to get him a job to assist his mum. They both thanked me so much but I’m sure they had forgotten the help they rendered me.

I’m glad to say that I actually got him a job and he resumes tomorrow, the joy in my heart is so full, and I feel so happy, when you do good do it completely with your heart not with the hopes to get something in return and God will bless you.”

A Nigerian couple welcomed a set of twins three weeks apart. According to the father, David Bankole, he and his wife got married in 2003 and had to wait sixteen years before welcoming their first child, a girl, in February of 2019.

The father narrated,

To the glory of God, this union is almost 18 years now. After we got wedded in 2003, we waited for sixteen good years before God answered us and gave us our first daughter in February 2019. We were overjoyed. Before we knew it, she conceived and gave birth to another baby on the 19th of June 2020. We were so grateful to God. We had the naming ceremony.

Some days after, she said she was feeling some movement in her stomach. We were like maybe it’s because she just had a baby. However, as the days went by, she kept complaining of that movement in her stomach so we had to go back to the hospital because when we did scan prior to the delivery, it was one baby that reflected.

When we got to the hospital after several complains, they now checked her and found another baby. That was how we took delivery of the second baby on Friday, 10th of July and both processes were natural birth.” he said

“I would cheat on my husband for N200k” – How a lady’s Facebook comment crashed her marriage

A Nigerian Twitter user has taken to the platform to narrate how a lady’s wedding was cancelled because of the silly comments she made on a Facebook page.

According to the user, the lady answered the question of whether “she would cheat on her husband for $10Million” and she replied by saying that even for N200k, she would cheat on her hussy because her genitals has no GPS.

The user narrated that even when other people cautioned her to delete her comment, she slammed them and turned deaf ears to their words.

A relative of the lady’s groom who saw the comment, screenshot it and sent it to her mother-in-law and from there, that was how the wedding was cancelled.

Read the user’s narrative below,

HOW FACEBOOK COMMENTS CRASHED A MARRIAGE

Someone in Abuja told of a chilling story about a plight of his niece. She has done her traditional marriage and was about to wed when Facebook crashed the marriage only two weeks to her wedding.����

She was said to be a member of a SINGLES AND MARRIED group on Facebook. Someone made one those silly stupid posts and asked, WILL YOU CHEAT ON YOUR HUSBAND IF OFFERED 10 MILLION NAIRA? The bride to be was among those that replied.

She said that the amount was even too much that she can cheat on her husband if offered only 200K.

Someone that knows her told her to delete that comment because her wedding is coming up and she is already married culturally as an Igbo lady.

Two more people that don’t know her joined in begging her to delete the comment since it crossed decency lines. She lashed out at them in anger by saying, WHO HAS MARRIAGE EPP? THERE IS NO GPS IN MY PRIVATE PART.

She later deleted the obscene comments not knowing that one of the relatives, of the groom had screenshot the silly comments and forwarded them to her mother-in -law who is a senior civil servant and Deaconess in Mountain of Fire church.

Hell was let loosed. There was a meeting where the lady was summoned and in tears she said that she was joking. But then she is a also a pentecostal. All pleadings by her and her parents fell on deaf ears as the wedding was suspended indefinitely.

When I called the person who told me the story this morning, he claimed that the groom family had agreed to call off the marriage entirely and will soon go and collect the dowry they paid. The decision of the family may be debated if it was right or an over reaction.

Many of us on social media write anyhow, chat anyhow and post obscene idiotic pictures. Hushpuppi according to Dubai police was monitored through his social media updates for 6 months before they arrested him.

Never flaunt your wealth, your house, your cars, your half naked bodies or your immorality on social media. Think of the implications. In any group that you are a member or your own, be careful of your posts or your comments. Internet never forgets.

I am begging you and begging myself too, be careful. Internet may ruin our lives, relationships and marriages.

He who has ears, let him do so. You’re fond of insulting people, especially in groups, be careful, for one day, you may insult your future helper or someone that may interview you in a company.

”Igbo Women Are Lazy….Yoruba Women are go-getters” – Noble Igwe

Popular Nigerian Blogger, Noble Igwe has ignited the wrath of Igbo women after he stated that they are lazy and do not like to work.

According to Igwe, Igbo women are lazy, they do not like to work and they’d rather sit back and enjoy their husband’s hard earned money.

Noble also compared the Igbo woman to the Yoruba woman and said a Yoruba woman is hard working, and does not fight for her father’s property.

Read his tweets below ;

“The Igbo women are lazy, does not like to work and just want to sit back and enjoy their husband hard earned money.
They want to inherit their husband’s property and then inherit from their father’s house as well but do nothing but answer “Ori Aku””

“See Yoruba women.
Hard working,building houses and not really trying to fight for father’s house in Ibadan.
When they want to make changes, they do but Igbo women will come and make it seem like someone is holding them down.

The Yoruba woman is a go getter. Breaking boundaries, doing new things every day and she does not even need a law to back her.

Just her belief and living life on her terms.

Guess what? They don’t need anybody’s permission.”

Everyday you are seeking for permission from your village to thrive in Lagos ? Build a house and inherit it, nobody from your village will come to take it. There’s no culture holding you back from achieving things, why are so in on inheriting something when you can build yours ?

Why is the topic always on inheritance? Can’t you work for your own? You don’t need a husband to inherit . Have you seen Hausa women fighting for inheritance ? No, they go out and build

No wonder most people think that Igbo women are greedy.
The argument can never be how” my Igbo culture stopped me from buying land in Lagos”, it’s always about what to gain from the patriarchy ridden people.

Kings, find you a woman that is ready to work hard with you to leave things equally for your children, not the Igbo woman that is waiting on you to die first so that she can inherit and be called the head of home just by being “ Ori Aku”

Tomorrow, you’d see other women tweet about how their mother willed things to them and how it helped them do better.
These tweets don’t come from Igbo women, them and their mothers are waiting for their father to die first.

Ask yourself, what have you done to change the life of the girl child in your community?
Is it Igbo men too that are stopping you?
N
In conclusion, any gender can hold any agenda. While some of our concerns are true, the real change comes from doing and not holding the sins of fathers over all Igbo men.
Discuss issues as it relates to particular people, communities, villages and the Igbo land at large.

The Igbo man is flawed, just like every other man but you can’t deny the work that the new generation Igbo man is doing towards changing some of these narratives.

The house agent welded the door belonging to Rhoda Makoha’s two-roomed apartment while she was inside with her sick child, leaving her four other children who were outside, playing.

The incident occurred over the weekend in Njoro sub-county, Nakuru in Kenya.

Speaking with The Star, the woman explained that she was unable to raise the rent money because her business outside Egerton University was affected following the outbreak of Coronavirus.

“Business at Egeron trading centre is entirely dependent on students and everything went down when schools and universities were shut down,” she said through the window.

Makoha who has lived in the house for six years said she locked herself in the house for fear of being thrown out, only for the agent to weld the door.

“I have been paying my rent promptly for six years and I was hoping that the agent could consider that before kicking me out,” she said.

Police officers were later deployed to the area to break into the house and rescue the woman and the baby.

“Igbos don’t love each other. Hausas put me in oil business” — Billionaire Arthur Eze

Nigerian billionaire, Arthur Eze has stated that it is only God who can make an Igbo man become the President of Nigeria, adding that Igbo people don’t love each other.

According to him, the Igbos are not united, whereas, the Northerners put him in the oil business and gave him mouthwatering contracts even without knowing him or taking into consideration where he comes from.

He wondered whether an Igbo man will ever do such a thing. In his own words,

“For the Igbo to be President, they must love themselves. Do they love themselves? The North is very kind.

If you go to northern Nigerian, you will see churches everywhere. There are churches in Kano, Sokoto, Kaduna, Abuja and others yet they say there is hatred. Do we (Igbo) love ourselves?

Only God can make an Igbo man President. We shall pray to God to find an Igbo man who has character to help people. I would prefer someone who has conscience, somebody who will remember me.

I don’t care where you come from. I went to the North, they didn’t know who I was. They gave me $12m for the construction of Kano TV in 1980. I didn’t have one naira then.

It was the same thing in Katsina, Borno and Kaduna. Then, they put me in oil business. They didn’t care where I came from. Tell me any Igbo man who can do that?”

Manchester City wins CAS appeal, Champions League ban lifted

English Football club, Manchester City have won their appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) over alleged financial fair play (FFP) violations and will be free to play in the Champions League next season.

It certainly is the best news for Manchester City fans, although their Manchester rivals and Chelsea might not feel the same way.

City were originally banned from European competitions for two seasons but won their appeal to CAS, which means that the fifth place in the Premier League will no longer qualify for the Champions League.

Manchester United as of this moment, occupy fifth in the Premier League table.

A statement from CAS reads,

“The CAS award emphasized that most of the alleged breaches reported by the Adjudicatory Chamber of the CFCB were either not established or time-barred.

“As the charges with respect to any dishonest concealment of equity funding were clearly more significant violations than obstructing the CFCB’s investigations, it was not appropriate to impose a ban on participating in UEFA’s club competitions for MCFC’s failure to cooperate with the CFCB’s investigations alone.”

City took their case to CAS on June 8 after they were initially handed a two-year ban from UEFA competition and a €30 million ($33m) fine issued to them by the Adjudicatory Chamber of the Independent Club Financial Control Body (CFCB).

Following Monday’s verdict, the fine was reduced to €10m. As Manchester City’s fate in future European competitions has been decided, UEFA has released a statement in this regard.

“UEFA takes note of the decision taken by the Court of Arbitration for Sport to reduce the sanction imposed on Manchester City FC by UEFA’S independent Club Financial Control Body for alleged breaches of the Uefa Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play regulations.

UEFA notes that the Cas panel found that there was insufficient conclusive evidence to uphold all of the CFCB’s conclusions in this specific case and that many of the alleged breaches were time-barred due to the five-year time period foreseen in the Uefa regulations.

Over the last few years, Financial Fair Play has played a significant role in protecting clubs and helping them become financially sustainable and UEFA and ECA [European Club Association] remain committed to its principles

UEFA will be making no further comments on the matter”
