Founder and president of Love World Incorporated, better known as Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome is currently trending on social media over a video of him giving a controversial statement on the Black Lives Matter protests.
The pastor, in a video that’s currently circulating social media, talks about the incessant protests and riots that has been happening in the United States over the lives of black people, the pastor says it’s not about the “Black lives matter” movement but an agenda to implement an alternate means of security.
He questions the reason why there’s been the call disband the police who are one of the major stakeholders of brutality against black people and says it’s because an experiment is being done on an alternative means to enforce security by the use of microchips implants.
His statement has been deemed insensitive and embarrassing for a man his stature and as such, has made him a subject of discussion on Nigerian social media, which is why he’s trending.
A recent video showing the adorable moment veteran singer, 2face Idibia and his wife, Annie Idibia shared a romantic kiss has melted hearts on social media.
The beautiful couple were spotted in the video exchanging kisses and sharing warm hugs with themselves.
See video below ;
Annie later shared a beautiful photo on her IG Page where she talked about being favored by God.
Sharing the photo, she wrote ;
When The Universe Favors You No Man Can Stop You …?
Recall, some months ago, the award-winning singer revealed how he felt seeing Alex Ekubo kiss his wife, Annie Idibia in a movie they featured in.
In response to the question, 2Face said he has no issue with that as it is their job. He however added that it will be “uncool” when they bring it down home.
A facebook user identified as Michael Effiom has taken to the social networking platform to complain about the ‘over dependency’ of Nigerian families on young people who are struggling to make it in life.
Michael said this leads to an inability to meet a certain financial target because every family member depend solely on them.
File photo for illustrative purpose.
According to Michael, this societal influence leaves the young man/lady miserably burdened and drained.
His post reads ;
Effect of OVER DEPENDENCY in Nigerian societies.
Most upcoming young people cannot set a target & achieve it in 2years because every family member at home & Churches depend solely on them, their monthly salaries disppear at every 15th of the next month. What a miserable burdened and drained societal influences. Sad isn’t it??
Nollywood actress and nudist, Amara Maduka , has proffered a compelling solution to rape.
In a recent interview with NewTelegraph, the actress cum nudist, shared her opinion on the notion that pornography contributed to the increase in rape cases.
She said ;
“In my opinion adult contents has nothing to do with rape. As a matter of fact, rape would reduce if the society embraced adult contents instead of frown at it. It’s basic knowledge that mankind will always long for the forbidden fruit.
Because it’s a big deal, people are going to always crave it. But if it’s embraced and the men know that a woman’s body is just a body.
Everyone has one and it’s not a big deal to see a woman’s body because their sisters have one and their mothers have one, then they would see every woman as human and not an object.
And whatever happened to masturbating? They have plastic vagina now and they won’t burn in hell for wanking when they’re horny, instead of raping they should probably watch some “adult contents” and masturbate. And all that aside, people really need to practice self control”.
Popular Nollywood actress, Gloria Young took to her Instagram page to solicit for help for her colleague, Ify Onwuemene who she says is down with endometrial cancer.
According to Young, Ify needs urgent financial help so she can beat the deadly disease.
Gloria wrote,
“Folks please we need help for our sister @ifyonwuemene an actress from the days of Sam loco and Enebeli Elebuwa. I worked with her last on the set of Tajudeen Adepetu’s “Everyday People” in the late 90’s. She is down with endometrial cancer. She has tried sourcing for funds on her own, but nothing is too small. Please send whatever you can to Ifey Onwuemene, Fidelity Bank 6010999993.
Thank you”
It should be recalled that Ify had sometime in October of 2019, taken to her page to solicit for help.
She begged the Lagos state Government and her colleagues to come to her aide.
“On behalf of my family and I, I hereby appeal to the members of the public,@lagosstategovt @womenindeltastate @nollywood_fanpage @dsgovernment to please come to my aid. Thanks and God Bless Nigeria.” She wrote.

In his words ;
”Coronavirus is nothing but anti-church virus. Now, freedom of worship is no longer a constitutional right. It is now determined by certain individuals. This is no longer coronavirus, at least in two states- Lagos and Ogun, this is anti-church virus. Caution must be exercised”
He continued saying ;
“Can anybody silence the church? Never. I have never heard of anybody that got healed in the market but God heals people in the church day and night. We have recorded 114 coronavirus healing testimonies, we got 10 this week. And that is the place that is vulnerable and not the market.
“This is anti-church virus we are fighting. It is the grand design of the devil globally to see how he can silence the church.
“Everybody is in the market running over one another everyday of the week and there is no outbreak from the market but there is outbreak from the church, perceived outbreak.”

Veteran Nigerian rapper, Ruggedman has taken to social media to berate his fans over their inability to show support.
The rapper/activist said people are very quick to tag him on social media whenever there is a trending issue that needs to be amplified but the same set of people are slow to support him.
Ruggedman said whenever he shares videos of people that have suffered some form of injustice, he gets as much as 20k views.
He, however, noted that even after begging people to subscribe to his YouTube page he has barely managed to garner as much as a thousand followers.
The rapper’s post read in part ;
“I post your trouble, go out of my way to help you out of it and get 20k views. I ask you to click link in my bio and subscribe to my You Tube channel and struggle to get 1k subscribers,.

Bukola, a mother of two, was said to have attempted suicide in her residence at No. 2 Kuburat Lawal Street, Abule-Egba, Lagos. According to reports, Bukola drank a poisonous substance on the basis of being frustrated by life’s hardship.
She however, was rushed to the Ile Epo General Hospital by her husband’s brother who was living nearby. Speaking on the hospital bed, Bukola revealed that she was tired of life and maltreatment by her husband, Mr Wasiu Agboola, who she said, used to beat and inflict her with pain.
She also claimed that her husband forced her, on Thursday night, to break into her improvised save (Kolo) to buy foodstuffs for her children who barely ate any food days back.
Iya Idris, as she is fondly called by her neighbours, was said to have suffered so much in the relationship. Her neighbors, who pleaded anonymity, confirmed that her’s was an unending case of battering.
According to the neighbours, the husband, Agboola who is a bike man, often resorts to beating her up anytime they had disagreement especially when he is demanding for sex from a woman who barely had anything to eat, most times she gets thrown out on the street in the cold by him.
The neighbours noted further that whoever intervened to give succour to the family, gets a fight from him. They further pleaded with government agencies in charge and human rights group to come to the rescue of Mrs Agboola and her children.
A Nigerian man who lost his mother at the New General Hospital in Asaba, Delta state on Saturday morning, June 27th, has cried out over the demise of his mother as he demands justice over what occurred at the hospital.
According to Okolo Divine Bliss, his mother had been ill for quite some time, showing symptoms of cough, weakness, and was in pains.
On June 25, they decided to take her to the New General Hospital in Asaba in Delta state for medical attention. Divine revealed that on getting to the hospital, the doctors allegedly refused to admit her for fear she might have COVID-19.
He said after about an hour, the doctors agreed to admit her only on the condition that she will be admitted into the ward meant for COVID-19. They had not carried out a test to confirm whether or not she had the viral disease but Collins and his family agreed and she was admitted.
He claimed since on Thursday when they got to the hospital till Saturday, the doctors did not attend to his mum and she died on Saturday morning.
Diving is now demanding justice for his late mother who he said was a prayerful and hardworking person. He wrote,
My name is Okolo DivineBliss,, and I lost my mum today be the 27th of June 2020.. And this is how it happened..
My mum has been sick for some while now and nurses and doctors have been coming over to the house to administer treatment to her and by God’s grace she was responding fine to it.. Some symptoms of the sickness were coughing, she was feeling weak, and also had pains….
So on the 25th of July 2020 we decided to move her to the New general hospital Asaba,, she walked down through our house stairs all by herself even though she was weak..
My Dad and my siblings got to the hospital with her and they refused to admitted treatment because the whole doctors were afraid that it was Covid19 as everyone will suspect… They abandoned her in pains for over an hour before they decided that they are not going to treat her except she Isolated in their Isolations center.. and also her oxygen leve became low in the hospital…
I always said that they shouldn’t ahve moved her there cos my mum hadn’t gone anywhere to to have Covid even through out the time my sister who has health issues was taking care of her at home she didn’t posses any sign of transfer from my mom so I was fully sure within myself that it was not Covid..
But since the doctors and everyone refused to treat her we allowed her to in and she was put on oxygen…
They Isolated her in the Center and she was there without no good attention which I can swear to because we spoke to her regularly and she said no doctor or anymore had gone to see.. we took food to her regularly,,,
Then Until the 26th of June 2020 being yesterday My Dad went with my brother to take things for her at the Isolation Center.. They agreed with my dad that since the case was not yet confirmed and the test result was yet to be out,, that he could stay and watch her and if anything goes wrong he could call them on phone from the room which he regularly did but they did not respond to him fast whenever her did…
We stayed awake at home through out the night praying for the life of my mum and talked to my brother who was there with her regularly and he always said that no one was coming to check on her upon they had a CCTV camera in their Isolation rooms…..
Whenever we call the doctors from home they would say that they have gone to check her and she’s okay but my brother would still say no one has come and she is very weak and breathing slowly… This situation of calling and lying by the Covid 19 doctors happened for over 1hour…is that not wicked of them.
This morning at around 5 o’clock am when the calls and lies of the doctors that she was doing fine and attending to her.,, we decided to go to the hospital ourselves since my brother was crying bitterly that mom is laying dead….
When we got there around After 5am we went forward to the Covid19 area with out car and kept on screaming that they should go and look at my mum but you know what we were there for over an hour no single Doctor came out to speak to us and these were the same doctors that were telling us that she’s fine and taken care of while we were at home…
Out of bitterness I moved into the Covid19 session which they did not lock well and was screaming for help of the doctors and no one still Came out for over an hour… I went into her room that has A CCTV camera where they monitor everything from and started praying but to no avail and no one was still responding to us patients coming out of their wards in the room to complain why the doctors should be so wicked hearing my family’s voice screaming…..
To note: They did and X Ray which showed she had acute pneumonia which could av obviously been the cause of the Covid 19 symptoms she was experiencing but the doctors were not going to attend to her well until the result was going to be out and now my mum is dead….. They couldn’t even face the acute Pneumonia but concluded it’s a Covid 19 case without adequate test… What if the result is out now and it is negative please who killed my mother… Issit not the Doctors….
Please all I need is justice for my mum and support to my family.. She was a Bread winner for us and the one who took care of us always… I don’t know where to go or what to do from here… please I need everyone right now cos it’s like I am single in my world at the moment… Who would take of me ? Who would be my mother? She was the closest to me…. Very prayerful and hardworking.. I don’t know what else to type here that Doctors and Wicked … and as real as Covid 19 is they don’t take it serious In their Isolation centres cos they feel people must die.. please I Need your help for justice and support for my mum”
