Tinny Entertainment boss, Timilehin Arokodare announced the signing of a new upcoming act, Myles to his award winning record label, Tinny Entertainment.
He made this known via messages on his and the label’s social media pages earlier on Friday, 28th June 2018.
“Tinny Entertainment is proud to present our latest signee @theboy_myles. Myles is an incredibly gifted artist who brings a lot of talent, hard work and innovation to the afro beats sound. Please give him all your support, we are excited about the future of Nigerian music and we are confident that Myles is one of the talented acts to carry this flag. Please watch this space, his music drops next” says the Label boss via his instagram page.
Following his announcement as a new signee, Afro-pop singer‘Myles’ has just given us a feel of what he is about with the release of his debut single.
‘TETE’ is an afro fusion track with sing along lyrics by the Tinny New artist ‘Myles’, originally known as Olawale Michael Ogunleye.
It was produced by popular music producer Qasebeatz and also mixed and mastered by Syn X.
About Myles
Born Olawale Micheal Ogunleye, Myles, is a Nigerian singer and songwriter born in Ogba, Lagos in 1994. He is an indigene of Supare Akoko-South in Ondo State. At the age of 9, he discovered his flair for music and nurtured his passion for music until he was a teenager and began his music journey as a rapper. The artiste draws his inspiration from great rappers like Lil’ Wayne.
In 2010, Myles made the decision to pursue music as a singer and not as a rapper. He believed he was better at singing and writing songs than he was as a rapper. He describes his music genre as Afro-pop but he can easily delve into the genres of R ‘n’ B, dancehall, reggae and many more.
The new act is set to release his first official single under Tinny Entertainment in a few hours. His sound, he believes, would be set apart from other Afro-pop singers because of the unique content, message and delivery he puts into his songs.
Pastor Omodele Fatoyinbo, wife of the Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA), Pastor Abiodun Fatoyinbo on Monday said God will give her husband the grace to know what to do.
She spoke at the commencement of the yearly special programme of the church tagged Seven Days of Glory.
The Nation reports that Mrs. Fatoyinbo said this while delivering her sermon at the church auditorium in Guzape, Abuja as the lead pastor following the stepping aside of her husband over a rape accusation.
She said: “God will make us rich. His right hand sustains my destiny. God has made Modele and Biodun rich. He looks down to make you rich. I am telling someone today that God is going to enlarge you. You will enjoy grace, you will experience an expanded grace. Decree over someone tonight that in your house you will receive an expansion.
“The work of my hand is expanding no matter the situation, from ocean to ocean. The grace to complete your assignment, the grace to know what to do, God will give our senior pastor.”
Despite protests that greeted the rape allegation against founder of the church, Biodun Fatoyinbo, hundreds of church members were present to grace the annual programme, which was low-key.
The atmosphere was calm unlike Sunday when protesters almost disrupted the service with various inscriptions.
The special programme COZA7DG usually attract several international pastors.
This year’s edition was meant to host Pastor John Hannah, Pastor Korede Komaiya and Prophet Gideon Danso before the rape accusation.
None of them attended due to the development.
Fatoyinbo stepped down on Monday morning following the outcries over the accusation.
The embattled pastor was not present at Monday’s service.
For years now, the name “Coza pastor” or “Gucci preacher” or “Fatoyinbo” has been accompanied by a subservient resentment that sits on the tongue of many Nigerians.
From Ese Walters’ sour testimony about this mans randiness, to his flamboyant lifestyle of swearing never to be caught wearing a non-designer wear, to little whispers about his unfaithfulness to God and his wife and now Busola chose not to talk in hushed tones or parables.
Busola took the center stage and let go. She didn’t only take the bull by the horn. She took the bull to a slaughter house and made sure to slit the throat from the neck and not the chest.
As expected, her truth scattered social media and as usual, camps were taken, vast majority of Nigerians took to various online platforms to register their rage, disgust and wonder.
The people who leaned on the path of wonder didn’t want to believe that a man of God was capable of raping a 17 year old. The wonder soon turned to an unintelligent attempt to discredit the story of the victim by asking “why did she wait so long?” “Where is her proof” “she wants to bring this beautiful man down like potiphars wife” and other beautifully constructed sentences of ignorance.
For people who feel that a grown successful woman who has a very beautiful marriage will wake up one morning after decades to accuse a man of raping her, I have nothing to say about your thought process but I have a lot to say about the appearance of Bioduns name in almost every conversation of rape and randiness.
There’s an Igbo adage that says that if a child is crying and pointing towards a direction, if his father isn’t there, his mother is there.
There is another that says that there is no smoke without a fire.
Let me agree with all these assertions by saying this:
Nigerians may pretend when you say Biodun is not guilty but we will protest if by any chance he claims being innocent.
By reason of age and life’s darts, many of us don’t know what and how innocence works exactly but we are sure that an innocent man wont pay renegades to hold cardboard papers upside down to deflect the effort of concerned people who left their houses to protest. Innocence won’t phone the DSS and implore men who has daughters to go and ward of a protest that is demanding a rapist to step down.
I was sad at the timing of all these. Nigerians have short memory span. Big brother has appeared on the TV now and people’s rage about rape from a religious head is now being substituted by conversations of which house mate has a bigger butt.
Yesterday the youth of this generation led a march with the intent of a revolution and this morning we get the proceeds. For once in the history of this country a protest scratches the surface of success.
Biodun has stepped down this morning because of the pressure.
A journey into the prison begins with a step outside of your safe place which is the church.
If you’re reading this, I implore you to leave the grand foolishness of BBNaija and follow this historic course of sending a sexual predator where he belongs.
He doesn’t belong on a podium where he can still have visual access to the fresh thighs of his members.
He should be behind bars seeing the depth of Naira Marley’s auditory disappointment “Soapy”.

A COZA member, Queen Jules Okezie shared photos of herself and friends laughing after the Sunday service which was marred by protest over the rape allegation leveled against Pastor Fatoyinbo.
“So we were in church today laughing our eyes out, protest indeed….the church will stand and the gate of hell shall not prevail.” She captioned the photos posted on a popular Facebook page.
Senior Pastor of Daystar Christian Center, Sam Adeyemi, has reacted to the rape allegation leveled against COZA founder, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo, by wife of singer Timi Dakolo, Busola.
In a statement released this afternoon, Adeyemi expresed sympathy for Busola Dakolo and all those that have been affected since she came out to relieve her experiences with the clergyman.
Adeyemi asked for patience while legal processes are instituted to unravel the truth. Read his statement below
My attention has been drawn to the allegations of rape made against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo by Mrs Busola Dakolo. These are, no doubt, serious allegations. Rape is a crime and I say a firm NO to rape.
As Christians, it is only appropriate for us to seek for truth, justice, healing, and restoration for all involved. The Bible instructs us to do this with humility (Galatians 6:1).
While these are still allegations, I emphatise with Mrs Dakolo and everyone that has been affected, and I pray God’s peace for them at this time.
While the allegations have been refuted, I hope there will be a process, legal or counseling, to establish the truth in these circumstances.
Meanwhile, let us pray for peace and strength for everyone hurting in this process, for the families of the accusers and the accused, and the Church.
As the rape scandal involving COZA pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo lingers on, OAP, Dotun has revealed how he was sexually molested by his housemaid when he was 11.
In his post which he shared on IG, Dotun recounted his maid, Folake, forced him to explore her body whenever she insisted they had their bath together when his parents who were staunch Deeper Life members, weren’t home.
Dotun who is now married to the sister of singer DBanj, said amongst the effects the unfortunate incident had on him was that he began to masturbate alot, was withdrawn, had self esteem issues amongst others.
Read his story below;
Yall see Kings, Mentors & Queens in a Regalia wit crowns filled with stars. U all see tough people who are meant to be robots to you, meant to walk around with armors, save their faces no matter what, not meant to share what you all see as a show of weakness .. I laugh coz you all sometimes don’t know what it takes to be the king of your soul.
A soul that can be snatched by a person’s filthy hands, bad habits, unprincipled mind & devious mind. I come from a very religious background where I attend church, Monday bible study, Thursday miracle revival, Sunday worship service, go to Ayobo for retreats on Easter, days before Christmas, Gbagada for combined services as a routine for a better part of my life, 20 years of my life. I was a Deeper life member and so if you want to speak to me about religion, think again cos I have seen it all. I got all the spiritual training, physical upbringing but one question is what happens when daddy and mummy decides to go to work? or hustle? drops you off at school or in church or the mosque.. who is in charge?
The maid, the gateman, your uncle, your aunty, your brother, siblings, your pastor, your imam, your teacher etc .. who is in charge when they are not there? Folake was our maid for over two years who completely adored me way more than my siblings, serves my meals specially, never beats me when I do wrong, never reports me and sometimes makes my mum wonder as much say things like “sho fe like omo mi ju mi lo ni” meaning (do you want to like my child more than me) .. it was a fun gesture and we all would laugh it off but the price and adverse effect of whatever those advances were had a cost that would linger for a long time. Folake would want me to bath with her all the time, in the process asked me to fondle her breast, stick my fingers in her vagina, sometimes when she isn’t satisfied, she gives me things to stick in countless times, pulls my peepee, she will masturbate and make me watch and after the whole process, she will threatened never to tell anyone or else she will kill me. I started to get fond of it so much that I’ll refuse to take a bath with my siblings, refuse to eat any food except she serves it.
i didn’t know what it all meant to me but I started to get fond of going through that process. She eventually left, I became very withdrawn from other kids in school, I was very angry, I started to struggle with getting along. In my JSS especially, I developed a defensive mechanism of lashing out almost before anything was altered cos I felt in my head I was bigger than anyone coz I had done what they haven’t done before. Sex conversations was a taboo and so they were not in my league. I lived through school as a pretty stubborn one, not so bad in my studies but could have been better. my parents went through the hell of correcting me for everything, I and a few other kids started to love porn books like Lolly, Nackson, Hints & hearts.
I actually paid a guy (Seun surname withheld).. if you attended Mayflower School Ikenne, you all will know who that is. At some point I became so withdrawn, I couldn’t talk to women that were my age, I just wasn’t fitting in and then I only subscribed to only women who liked me and told me anything else.. naaah!… Folake was all was in my head and I rode with this till my university days then I started to masturbate a lot, I had a withdrawal mechanism, I wanted to be loved so badly.
I started to lose my self confidence. In relationships I managed to have, nothing mattered, I was always seeking for validation, I was too hard on myself, I had to question myself many times if I am normal or not, I came across as a confident kid for those who know me but it was a front hence why I started to get too loud so I can be noticed, or too crazy so I would be the cheer of the moment but deep inside I still wasn’t fine. I built walls so much that you have to be as clean as snow for me to believe or trust you. I knew something wasn’t right and so I masked it with dance for starters. I knew I could swoon any woman who didn’t to hear me speak but loved the way I dance. I never told a soul. I started to read about these things, I was privileged to date women who recounted their stories of rape and you will be amazed the sort of traits they’ve developed as a result of this. I started to learn & read a lot on these things.
I started to probe people i date and pay more attention to details & their emotions. If you know you’ve dated me before, comment.. they know.. ?.. I’ll probe on that level so much that I am almost quick to offer solutions, counseling and advice on what to do even when I see someone trying to be that way. I was very curious. Rape & molestation alters your sense of reasoning, increases your level of paranoia, anger issues, mood swings, disregard for your body, withdrawal tendencies, affects your self esteem, self confidence, you seek validation all the time, you are empty no matter how full, you will mask a lot, you will be suicidal, you will be unhappy, you will have no love for even the most precious things, you might be very promiscuous or you will totally hate sex .. very very withdrawn from a loved one, start investing your happiness in the wrong things or wrong people. I started to channel my energy into my work, my everyday activities. I am very passionate.
I grew into a more defined person cos I was more aware and I saw what it did to others. I met Mrs Ibru of @warif_ng and she gave me a more concrete basis of what these things causes in our lives. She said “if you don’t speak up, speak to someone or get therapy, it will continue to alter a better part of your life. I started to get therapy from @emotionsdoctorcos something else triggered the flashes I always had and it just stuck to me that you might think these things go away, it doesn’t except you speak up and fight it.
I fight now for every Tom dick and Mariah. “THIS IS A FACT” all my colleagues and friends and the true fans know that “OLADOTUN OJUOLAPE KAYODE” WOULD FIGHT TILL HE GETS BURNT FOR ANYTHING, ANYONE, ANYBODY and lose his earnings as long as that person gets justice or stays happy. This is who I am. I got sacked twice from work only coz I spoke up and fought for people. You all think Busola is crazy or stupid? The system have grown so many myopic men and women who ask questions “why now” “why did she take this long” “touch not my anointed” bla! bla!!… listen women are wired to take their secrets to the grave and for her to come out, she did what most of you can’t.
Some will say “don’t show weakness” Some will say to themselves “it will go away” .. some will say “it didn’t happen” my gee, it did and please fix it. It never goes away. Start loving & recognizing those who truly love you and tell you the truth cos one of the adverse effects is you only will start looking for satisfaction instead of fulfillment. The reason why you see so many crazy men and women out there is cos they are so unaware that this is their issue. I am still healing, I am never scared of repercussions of living my truth anymore and I am in a much better place.
As for the Pastor, listen this whole story might even be a lie but I wanted to see a better handler. I don’t know Biodun Fatonyibo and I can swear I have never taken a dime from him but as a man of God, he is in the highest position of knowing what he stands for and the mantle he holds to be a better handler. It is all I wanted to see and maybe meet someday. I don’t fight for any reason. When I fight for something, know that it is only coz I am in the best position to and it would even carry more weight for others to learn from. Who celebrity help? It is only a bloody title. I AM A HUMAN BEING.
I don’t do it for money or clout. I love kids that I met over my lifetime, Fiore, Fifemayo, Lapo, Kalhani, Dapo Jnr, Mofe, Timi Jayden, Josh etc that I have grown to love so dearly. They are make my heart leap when I see them. They are the ones I think about all the time when i am on stage doing my thing. I will do it for anyone or any child. I have been there and done that. For all who now know the philosophy of the Energy gAD, this was created out of my love for MY type of ENERGY, David in the Bible, Sango methodlogy as a god and Raiden as a peacemaker. One thing you should all know “they are all powerful, still very weak, they are an embodiment of strength, loving and will die for the truth and even when it is lie, humanity still comes first” that is who I have become. I love you all and happy new month
Controversial OAP, Daddy Freeze has reacted to the news of Pastor Biodun’s step down, after the embattled pastor was accused of alleged rape by Busola Dakolo.
The pastor announced his stepping down in a post that has now gone viral. He said he decided to step down so as not to become a distraction to worshippers.
Daddy Freeze who has been on the neutral side of the saga has finally responded to the pastor’s stepping down. He referred to step down as ‘commendable’ and likened the pastor to the tax collector in the Bible.
His comment sparked many reactions. Many people were not pleased with the comparison. They stated that the pastor had never accepted the charges leveled against him. Others even concluded that was actually stepping down to paint himself as the victim. They pointed out that although he stepped down, he didn’t admit his guilt.
However, other commenters reasoned alike with Daddy Freeze and commended the pastor for his bravery.
Former Nollywood actress Steph-Nora Okere has reacted to the rape allegations leveled against embattled founder and leader of the Commonwealth Of Zion Assembly (COZA), Biodun Fatoyinbo, by Busola Dakolo.
Taking to her Facebook page this morning, the actress revealed that she walked away from a major film shoot, exited nollywood because of a near rape incident and wonderd why Bukola continued associating with pastor Fatoyinbo in his church after the incident.
She wrote;
“RAPE SAGA ISH I just want to know how it is possible for a man to rape a woman three different times in a house full of people and not just that, the rape victim continues worshiping in the church , gets wedded by the pastor, gets wedding car gift from the pastor and still stays on till now. Am so miffed . I walked away from a major film shoot, exited nollywood because of a near rape incident. So am wondering, what is the catch in all these? The said victim should make it good by also opening up to her husband on anyother gurry incident in her past, not just this. Me rather think someone is trying to cover up something with this ish. Am sitting n waiting for the end of it.”

Justice Mojisola Olatoregun of the Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the forfeiture of ex First Lady Patience Jonathan’s $8.4 million and N9.2 billion to the Federal Government.
Delivering judgement in the suit filed before her court by the EFCC today Monday July 1st, Justice Olatoregun held that the money is reasonably suspected to be proceeds of crime.
She granted an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that the money should be permanently forfeited.
The judge held that Mrs Jonathan could not prove that the money was legitimately earned.
Mrs Jonathan’s lawyer, Ifedayo Adedipe (SAN), had held that the money in question were cash gifts the former first lady received from well wishers while her husband, Goodluck Jonathan, was in office.
The white wedding of media mogul, Mo Abudu’s daughter, Temidayo to her hubby, Adebola Makanjuola, son of Billionaire and Chairman Caverton Helicopters, Aderemi Muyinudeen Makanjuola, took place in Los Angeles, California.

Entertainment writer, Joey Akan shared his opinion on Naira Marley’s newly released song, ‘Soapy’ and according to him, Its an outrightly dumb and thrashy song.
He went on describe Naira Marley fans as ‘Donkeys of the Year’ for supporting a song that encourages ‘masturbation’.
His post got a response from Naira Marley’s colleague and ally, Zlatan.
See their exchange below….
Nigerians are poor and lost, desperately looking for something bigger than themselves to connect to. That’s why Naira Marley had support with Yahoo; lost, disillusioned souls looking for belonging from anything higher than their status. Yahoo? No problem. .
Now we have another stain on us with Ijo Soapy. Whoever designed that record, knew what they were doing. They know the base they are targeting. It is not for you sensible person with outrage. It is for those same people who supported him during his self-inflicted travails. .
Marlians are a stupid bunch. A band of nitwits in the idea of foolishness. There is no boundary, no fore or afterthought. Just lost sheep without a modicum of sense or self-respect. Marlians stand for iranu. They stand for rubbish. And they stan for normalization of rubbish. .
Same way Yahoo was trying to go mainstream, Marley is now pushing for normalization of public masturbation. Grown men making dick moves on dance floors is not evolution. It’s degeneration. Masturbate in your homes. “Soap” isn’t pop culture fodder. .
Marlians: Donkey of the Year.
See Zlatan’s response below…
Na all of us be Donkey, including you sef, because you follow up pass some marlians sef

Head of Covenant Christain Center, Poju Oyemade has reacted to the rape drama between COZA pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo and Busola Dakolo.
Sharing the statement via his Instagram page, Oyemade said he found it hard to watch the video where wife of singer, Timi Dakolo’s wife, Busola, accused Fatoyinbo of raping her.
Poju then sympathized with those who has been sexually molested by the church that is supposed to protect them.
Read his statement below;
My position on the case.
I have been asked by many well meaning people about my position concerning the accusation of rape made against Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo.
I could only watch the tape by Busola Dakolo for a few minutes, it was difficult to sit through it. From what I heard it is impossible not to be heart broken and sympathise with her. She must have gone through a lot and then to sit to tape her experience must have been very painful.
She is today a wife and mother of three to have to relive a 20yr old experience.
I immediately contacted the spiritual leader in the Body of Christ I believe Pastor Biodun deferrs in authority to, to wade into the issue and bring about a decision.
He informed me his position. It was that Pst Biodun should first step down from the pulpit indefinitely, suspend 7days of glory and make a public statement. These he made known to him directly in an hour.
This should serve as the first step. He informed me that was the position and asked my opinion.
We had 3 objectives in mind. 1. Justice 2. Healing 3. Redemption.
I have been informed that the decision to step down and cancel the 7 days of Glory have been made.
It is apparent that the manner in which our Pentecostal Churches were/are born with an individual receiving a call directly from God and we all operating largely as independent bodies, our governing structures are not as strong as in the orthodox church settings with the exemption of Pentecostal denominations where you are appointed a pastor and can be easily sanctioned.
This however makes it imperative that we go an extra mile to show a high level of compassion and sense of responsibility for people placed under our care or else what has brought our great growth may be what will destroy us.
For those who have been abused and exposed in our independent pentecostal structures, I deeply apologise and we will seek to build stronger structures through peer reviews and in our relationships.
Instagram comedian, Lizzy Jay has accused Yoruba movie director, Jimoh Abiodun of sexually abusing her, but didn’t have his way.
She wrote:
‘you sexually abused me and you do this to many people’s daughters while you instill fear in them not to speak out. Will you be happy if anyone sexually abused your daughter?’.
According to her, the movie director is trying to destroy evidence she has against him.
As seen in the screenshot below, she expressed gratitude that the movie director didn’t succeed in raping her.
In reaction to the allegations from Lizzy Jay, Jimoh Abiodun shared the below message and screenshots.
“@iamlizzyjay RAPE and ATTEMPT TO RAPE are two serious allegations that should never be trivialised because the real victims are out there and they need help and people’s voice. Lizzy you don’t have to work with me to be successful in life, neither do I have to work with you to be great. If I say I can’t work with you in my team anymore, that doesn’t mean you should take your bitterness to this level. You can move on my dear and you can do great. You threw all cautions to the wind and mention my name publicly in a slander. Lizzy, you have a father, you have a brother, how would you feel if someone did this to them? I’ve got my family and people who look up to me. I have a file on every single publications you’ve made with my name in it but I’ll still stretch out this hand of alternative resolution, asking you to retract and apologise. NB: Anyone who I have had sexual intercourse with, WITHOUT their consent should speak up!”
Alibaba has called out prominent pastors in Nigeria, who according to him have been silent on the rape allegation against Pastor Fatoyinbo of COZA.

Big brother Naija 2019 has officially started, and as usual, the drama is on!
These two ladies, Mercy and Tacha already got tongues wagging on Twitter, and they have also been trending since Ebuka introduced them on stage.
26-year-old Mercy Eke, a video vixen and businesswoman based in Lagos, got people’s attention with the sexy sheer gown she wore to the live show, which showed off her banging body.
She loves cooking, swimming, travelling and dancing. No matter the setbacks, Mercy always picks herself up and does her best.

Y’all remember Tacha, the babe that faked a public proposal, faked her own kidnap and went viral for tattooing Davido’s picture on her cleavage?
Well, Tacha has always wanted to be on Big Brother Naija. It comes as no surprise then, that getting picked to be a Housemate this season, is the highlight of her life.

A former pastor has exposed a number of things he experienced during his years as a pastor and why he decided to distance himself and his family from religion.
Al Akhigbe said he was “a pastor for more than 15 years”. He said he had to leave because the church was “so blatant in the perpetration of evil” and it “was discomforting to him”.
He said that inspite of the priviledges and money that came with being a pastor, he left because “as important as money is, it has never really defined his life.”
He said that while he was in church, he noticed a lot of evil going on which the church leaders tried to justify it. He went on to refer to the ‘daddy GO’ as “G-hoe”.
He wrote: “As I grew in pastoral ranks, I discovered, to my amazement, that God was just a facade. Everything we did, we did for the G-hoe. Any other thing, we did for greed. And my bible condemns these things.”
He went on to say that the church is just a business and most people who claim they were ” called” are just peple who called themselves.
He wrote:
I made up my mind a long time ago, to distance myself and my family from religion. Moreso, religious leaders like pastors. I don’t care what anyone thinks. It’s a choice I have made.
I don’t hate anyone. But, I don’t accord that ecclesiastical air to anyone. Because, most of them, if not all, are fake. I was myself a pastor for more than 15 years. So, I know. I have my ordination certificate, several awards for meritorious services, made impact both locally and internationally.
But, I saw the deceit, shenanigan, jujuism, scam, abuse, etc and was turned off. I became a lone voice in the wilderness crying against them. Probably, that was the reason they decided to eliminate me.
Agreed, no human or association or group is perfect. But, to be so blatant in the perpetration of evil was discomforting to me. I didn’t care about the privileges. As important as money is, it has never really defined my life. Maybe I’m weird, I don’t know.
I was in the world and knew how to do a lot of bad things. How could I be in the church as a Christian and we were perfecting the act of doing even worse evil?
When I believe something, I believe with my spirit, soul and body. My zeal for the things of God (as I thought they were), made me grow and became a church leader. As I grew in pastoral ranks, I discovered, to my amazement, that God was just a facade. Everything we did, we did for the G-hoe. Any other thing, we did for greed. And my bible condemns these things.
You needed to have known me when I was in church. This post is public and anyone that knew me can come and dispute it if I’m lying. I was always fighting what was against the people. Sometimes, during meetings, I’ll argue with the head pastor, using scriptures. And I will be told that revelation was progressive and that God talked directly to the man with the vision. Meaning: the bible doesn’t have the present information about the present direction of the church.
I’ll have some of my colleagues sent to try and counsel me. My question was always, how can we say we’re children of God and be engaging in acts that were worse than those of the unbelievers? They’ll tell me that there are different levels of grace.
If I tell people I stopped pastoring, they’ll be like, “how is that possible? Were you not called before?”
Called? People actually believe that nonsense ”call” thing? Smh.
Get it into your head now, church is a business. Just as people thought and decided to choose fashion as their line of business, so also people decided to go into church as their line of business. It’s the most lucrative business in Nigeria after politics.
They’ll start it and tell you God called them. It’s a LIE. They called themselves or their pastors that called themselves, selected them to help spread their tentacles.
That’s why I laugh when people say, a church has a board. Which kind of board is a board that is selected by the pastor and CEO to act on his behalf and as a semblance of public organisation? Do you people reason at all?
Someone wakes up one day and tells you, God called him. You believed. Busola wakes up one day and decided to narrate the story of how a pastor raped her, you refused to believe. You’re asking for the evidence. Which evidence did your pastor give you that made you believe God called him?
The big bible that he carries? Anybody can buy a big bible.
Quite frankly, it’s a feat to be able to pull out of a church congregation. It’s even a greater feat to resign from a pastoral profession.
It’s not easy isolating from people that have become family and friends. But, I had to do it for my conscience sake.
I couldn’t stand the systematic impoverishment of people anymore. I couldn’t bear to see the perpetuation of falsehood. I couldn’t bear to see women abused. I couldn’t bear to see dirty politics…dirtier than that of APC and PDP put together.
I resigned and pulled out. And since then, about 5 years ago, I’ve never been more at peace with myself. I hope to take out time to write a book on this very soon. It will be a biography. Names of people, places and events will be mentioned.
I had wanted Pastor Anita to write it herself. Let the world hear her own side of the story. But, I guess they succeeded in gagging her with legal technicalities and she might not be able to.
Well, she is not me. There ain’t no stopping me if I set my mind to do something. I don’t mind stepping on and hurting toes.
Actor Akah Nnani has said he is no longer a member of the Commonwealth of Zion Assembly, led by Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo.
In a statement he released this evening, Akah called the founder of the church, Biodun Fatoyemi, a rapist. Read his statement below;
After watching @busoladakolo account, I believed her 100%. But I was advocating for proper procedures of getting justice on this matter because of reasons best known to me. Again, I was still in shock too. I admit, I still am in shock. I’m also not a fan of jungle justice or court of pubIic opinion because I suffered it in secondary school wrongfully.
But after the behaviour of the church organisation today on this matter, not just the pastor, there is no need.
It is shameful for me to call myself a member of that church. A friend said to me “his moves are like that of Pablo Escobar”. I couldn’t help but agree. It has taken me time, but I am finally here.
We will say it for what it is. Pastor @biodunfatoyinbo is a rapist. There is a syndicate around him that protects him, and this involves Pastor Flo of Lagos Church, Pastor Wole of PH parish, church staff, other ministers and I dare say, his wife.
I am no longer a member of that church. I call on every one who has a conscience to boycott @cozaglobal.
Thank you to every Nigerian fighting. Thank you to every celebrity using their voice. You understand that your influence is not for you. Thank you. I dream strength from your voice.
We continue to pray for him that God will touch his heart to own up to his crimes and the light of God to expose everyone involved in the syndicate.
I stand with Busola Dakolo, I stand with every woman who has been raped. I stand against rape and rape culture. I stand against the rot in the church. @timidakolo I am 100% with you. #istandwithbusoladakolo
