Pastor Adeboye recounts on how he left his wife by the roadside and walked a mile over argument

Pastor Adeboye recounts

Pastor Adeboye has yet again inspired young men in Christian marriages through a recent testimony of how he managed to retain sanctity in his marriage to his wife, Folu Adeboye.

The General Oversea of the Redeemed Christian Church of God disclosed that he was once forced to leave his wife in the car by the roadside and walked a whole mile to another village over an argument which ensued in the car

Pastor Adeboye revealed that he and his wife got married at age 19 therefore it seemed some people were expecting them to have problems, and they were determined to disappoint such people. They made an agreement that both of them will never be angry at the same time. When one of them got angry, the other will keep quiet.

The agreement worked well and there were less issues. But one day, they nearly broke the agreement.

They were traveling to Lagos from Ilesha one day. Something made Mummy Folu angry and Pastor Adeboye said he knew she was right.

She had opportunity to hit the man of God well. She was talking while Pastor Adeboye was driving. He was angry as well but he could not talk and there was nowhere to run.

When Pastor Adeboye could not control it anymore, he parked the car and walked away because he did not want to break the rule. He got down and walked back towards Ilesha. He left Mummy Folu in the car with the baby. After walking for a mile, he got to a village where they were selling fruit. He bought and ate some and then took the remaining to her in the car. By now, she was scared but when she saw him, she became happy. Pastor Adeboye then presented her with the peace offering.

This he had to do in other not to break their agreement. And that was how they overcame one more time.

Rapper Juice WRLD died

Rapper and singer Juice WRLD, whose real name is Jarad Anthony Higgins, died as a result of oxycodone and codeine toxicity, the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office said Wednesday.

The medical examiner determined the rapper’s manner of death to be an accident.

Juice WRLD, 21, died at a hospital he was rushed to after he suffered a medical emergency shortly after arriving at Chicago’s Midway International Airport on December 8, 2019.

On the day of his death, Chicago police were called to the airport to assist federal authorities “in regards to a private jet arriving at the airport which contained a large amount of narcotics.”

When police checked the plane, they found 41 bags of what was suspected to be marijuana, six prescription bottles of suspected liquid codeine and three firearms, a police statement said.

However, the plane’s occupants all denied ownership of the package.

Juice WRLD suffered a seizure during the search, and a Homeland Security officer administered Narcan to him. Narcan is used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. Unfortunately, the rapper didn’t recover.

Lagos is not a mega city, it is suffering – Lawyer, Ayo Sogunro, writes

Humanrights lawyer, Ayo Sogunro, has taken to his social media account to share his opinion about Nigeria’s commercial city, Lagos.

Mr. Sogunro opined that Lagos is not a mega city but a place of suffering.

He said this while reflecting on the lifestyle of some Lagos state residents who have to leave their homes as early as 5am just to get to their places of work for a relatively small pay.

His tweet reads ;

Lagos has to be the only city in Africa where people unwillingly leave home at 5 or 6am daily to get to work within the same city — often for relatively small pay. 

This is a failure of governance that adds even more hardship to the lives of people. Good rest is important.

UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION: Bed-space corruption, terrible food, well-fed rats… Many things not right at ‘Yaba Left’

Nigerian investigative journalist ‘FISAYO SOYOMBO went under cover for three weeks in November, as a patient of the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Yaba, Lagos, and unveiled the ‘sick’ state of hospital facilities, gross shortage of critical staff despite a bloated workforce widely believed to be populated by ghost workers, low quality of service delivery, arbitrary charges on patients.

Fisayo, who took to twitter to share photos, wrote ;

I spent 3 weeks, including 10 days on admission, as a patient of Yaba Left?

My discoveries were disturbing. They include decrepit state of hospital facilities, gross shortage of critical staff despite a bloated workforce widely believed to be populated by ghost workers, low quality of service delivery, arbitrary charges on patients…

In the report published by The Cable, Fisayo revealed how he had to bribe staffs before being able to get a bed-space.

The report reads;

“On Thursday, Olawale’s call was what roused me from sleep. He had found a hospital staffer by the name Tosin Karunwi, who was willing to secure bed space for me, provided we understood that “nothing comes free”. We weren’t sure if Karunwi was a nurse, an orderly or a Crisis official, but we established that she indeed worked at the hospital.

Olawale announced that Tosin had demanded N10,000 to help lock down a bed space for me, but he successfully negotiated a N7,000 deal. He asked us to forward the money to Account Name ‘Olaniyi Olawale Matthew’ with Access Bank — because Tosin didn’t want the money sent to her. He passed the money on to Tosin, after she agreed to return it if she didn’t secure a bed space.

To our utmost shock, once she took possession of the money, Tosin began to sell Oshodi to us. Actually, Oshodi, the neuropsychiatric hospital’s annexe, was even worse managed than Yaba. It was graveyard-like, largely abandoned. Oshodi was technically the hospital into which Yaba’s vomits were spilled. But Tosin argued otherwise.

“Wait a minute, why don’t you want Oshodi?” she’d asked on phone in the evening of Thursday November 14. “Oshodi and Yaba are the same. Three bed spaces are vacant at Oshodi; I’d advise you to take one of them.”

On December 3, three full weeks after Tosin was paid for the bed space that never came, she was told to refund the payment, but she refused, and blatantly too. “You cannot get N7,000,” she snapped. “The [two] nurses I gave money to, do you expect me to pay back on their behalf? Maybe I can send N4,000 to you; it’s just maybe. Maybe. That’s even if I’m able to raise it. Do you expect me to hold the cash or keep it in the bank?”

Tosin claimed that no space had opened up at all, both at Yaba and Oshodi “since last week”. What she didn’t know was that I’d gone in (and come out) as a patient because a space indeed opened up for me, and that at least two more opened up during my stay.”

He also revealed the poor state of the hospital itself, as huge rats roam the wards. He wrote;

I would learn about Yaba Left rats in the evening of my second day at the ward. Well-fed and therefore robust, they roamed the greenery separating Tolani Asuni from Adeoye Lambo in their droves every night. Not that I hadn’t seen rats before, I just didn’t know rats so big existed anywhere in the world.

“It’s been brought to the attention of the Chief Medical Director several times, but she said there’s nothing wrong with it,” one patient told me.

Reacting to the report, Osagie Ehanire, minister of health, says the decrepit state of the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Yaba, Lagos will be investigated
