As the 2023 general election is fast approaching, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, has said Nigeria needs a deliverer, not a leader
He made this statement on Thursday, December 8, while preaching at the ongoing Shiloh program at the church’s headquarters in Ota, Ogun state.
Bewailing the economic and insecurity crisis in the nation, Bishop Oyedepo reminded Nigerians that in 2015, he warned them that the country was heading for crisis.
He added that Nigerian is in need of a candidate who would deliver them from their sufferings, not a mere leader.
“I think I’m prompted by the spirit we need to pray for this nation. I warned this nation in 2015 that we were heading for crisis and trauma, many were washing their mouth. They are off today.
God does not require consensus to raise a prophet. I saw a nation going down the drain, I cried. There are many prophets of politicians who speak what they want to hear.
I have been very silent. What we need now is not a leader, it is a deliverer,” he said.
He attacked the government during a service in his church recently while reacting to the incessant killings in different states in the country, specifically the terrorist attack on a Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo state.
According to the clergymen, Nigerians have never suffered like this in our history and this current administration is proof that when the ‘wicked’ rule, the people will mourn.

A Nigerian man has taken to social media to declare his love for his wife, whom he claims cheated on him twice.
The man, identified as @teekayksuh, revealed he forgave his wife after catching her cheating on him twice and that they are still happily married.
He made this revelation while reacting to a Twitter user who questioned why it is so difficult for Christian men to forgive their spouses’ infidelity yet wives pray for their husbands when they cheat.
“Christian women have been sentenced to WAR ROOM for years to pray for cheating men but the moment a Christian man catches his wife cheating. he divorces her. Can’t he pray too? Can’t he bind the demons that want to destroy his home? Or has God stopped hating divorce?” The tweet read.
Reacting, the man said that cheating is not a big deal and revealed that he is still very much in love with his wife, who has cheated on him twice.
His words,
“There’s no big deal …I’m currently still married to my wife who cheated on me twice.. he question is ‘do i still love her? Do answer is ‘yes”.
See his post below,

He urged women in such situations never to consider settling down with such men, as they will eventually regret it.
24-year-old diminutive Ghanaian actor, Yaw Gabo, has addressed those who mock him over his height and stature.
Dabo, who lashed out at his critics, said he is probably more successful than those trolling him.
He added that God has a reason for creating him the way he is because he might not have achieved the amazing feats he has achieved today if he were tall.
Dabo said;
“For those who insult me, maybe I am better than you. If I were in your family and I called you to do something for me, you probably would run to get it done. I would probably send you to get chairs if a funeral came home.
“To the person insulting me, should there be a funeral in your house, the wealthiest person will make you carry the coffin. Look, I always say, before you insult someone, you need to look at yourself before rubbishing them.
“Not everything you see with your eyes; you can talk about. This is advice to netizens who sit behind their phones and laptops to talk trash about other people.
“Not everything you see is as it seems. God had a reason for creating me this way, maybe if I were like you, I wouldn’t have gotten to where I am now, but then, since God created me this way, I am better than you.”
Speaking further, Dabo said being a victim of constant mockery and trolling has taught him to watch the way he criticizes other people.
He added;
“I watch my mouth when saying things about other people. The Bible advises that men lock their mouths with padlocks because it could get them in trouble. The mouth can put you in trouble and this may lead you to say something ill about someone and later look for them to apologise but won’t find them.”

Nollywood actor, Charles Awurum has said some veteran thespians like him stopped featuring in every movie due to the low quality of the ones being produced nowadays.
Charles stated this in a recent interview with Punch while speaking on the minimal effort and resources movie producers invest in their movies.
According to him, some filmmakers start shooting a movie with a budget as low as N200,000 which isn’t meant to be.
He also claimed that some actors and actresses pay filmmakers in exchange for a role in their movies because they want to be famous.
Awurum said; ”People just shoot movies anyhow these days. If you do not have enough money to shoot a movie, you stop. You don’t just shoot any movie. This is why most of us, the oldies, no longer partake in every film. With N200,000, some people will move to shoot a film. Actors now pay to partake in movies just for popularity, instead of them to be paid. And where there are no producers or directors that are professionally trained, they just take a space somewhere and they shoot a film.”
He further said he is very picky about the type of movies he acts in which explains why people hardly see him in films. ”I have been shooting but I am not in every film because so many things are happening now. People are just shooting anything, any type of script that comes up. So, I choose what I do”, he said.
Awurum added; ”The industry is growing, most movies we shoot now can stand the test of time. You can match them with that of the white men. We are moving higher and as an actor, if you allow the train to leave you, you should not blame anyone or say you are being segregated. What we are shooting now is no longer what we used to shoot before; if you check the locations of the movies that we are shooting now, you will know that we have gone far. Everything seems to be like that of the western world. So, when you act in movies that will not go anywhere, you do not expect to be applauded. These people eager to be on the screen are not trained, paid, they do everything by themselves and they still pay for it.”
Addressing claims that ailing actors hardly get support from their colleagues in the movie industry, Charles said, ”I do not think the industry is not doing enough to help people. You see, when you are told to be a part of an association, belong to that association. Most of these people you see that are sick and are seeking public funds are not even part of the Actors Guild of Nigeria. We sometimes know of their illnesses very late for those of them that are part of us and we even go about to help them. The AGN is doing very well, there is nobody that is sick now that it does not help. The association even goes out of its way to help people that are not members to ensure that they are treated. They only go to the public when it goes out of what they can afford.”
Reality TV star, Nini Singh has said that she would rather be wealthy and unhappy than happy and poor.

However, when she was six months pregnant, a man claiming to be his girlfriend’s lover, paid him a visit at work and told him that he had been having an affair with his girlfriend for a year and the pregnancy is his.
Picture is for illustration purpose.
He said they wanted to pin the pregnancy on him because the lady didn’t want to lose her ‘perfect life’ and he also wasn’t ready to become a father.
Following the startling revelation, the heartbroken man said he pretended not to be aware of the malicious act and stayed with his girlfriend till she welcomed the child, then he dumped her in the labour room. According to him, he was planning to propose to her after delivering the baby.
Read his full post below,
“My girlfriend just gave birth to our first child. I know I’m not the biological father and I revealed I knew as soon as she gave birth.
I’ll try to keep this short because l’m planning to go to a bar soon. I found out when she was about 6 months along. The guy (Bryan) approached me at my work. “Are you Sarah’s boyfriend?” I said yeah and ask what he wanted. He said he was sorry that he had slept with her and swore he didn’t know that she was with someone (I don’t believe that).
He then pulled out his phone to show the texts between them. They had been sleeping together or “linking up” for at least a year. Then she found out she was pregnant and they came to an agreement to just pretend the baby was mine. In return, she wouldn’t lose her perfect life and he wouldn’t be responsible for a baby.
I knew it was weird. We had been having problems trying for a baby and all of a sudden she got pregnant so easily. But he explained that he had been thinking about it and he recently became a Christian. He said that he couldn’t live his life knowing that I was living a lie while his child didn’t know their real father.
So yeah. I told him I’d keep in touch, and to Y say that he said anvthina just vet. I’ve had a lot of time So yeah. I told him I’d keep in touch, and to not say that he said anything just yet. I’ve had a lot of time to think but ultimately I decided to wait until she gave birth. To hurt her in her most vulnerable moment.
I’ll spare the details, but she went into labor, baby was born, and was taken to the NICU to be monitored for a bit. What should’ve been a beautiful moment of me holding my baby, was the most heartbreaking time of my life. Just knowing he was not mine hurt me. Once she was sewn up and comfortable I started packing up my stuff to leave.
She asked where I was going and I just told her. “I know I’m not baby’s name’s father. You can act all shocked but I know. Just ask Bryan to come, I’m positive he’ll sign the birth certificate” Then I left.
She’s been calling my phone over and over (even sending texts as I type this) and has even gotten her sister to call me a few times.
It was hard pretending these last few months but I think I’m satisfied. I feel really really heartbroken though. I was planning to propose to her on the day our baby was born. I was gonna make her the happiest woman ever. Oh well. Im going to go get shitfaced now.”
Men of the Bauchi State Police Command have arrested a 35-year-old man, Haruna Ezekiel for allegedly killing his 80-year-old paternal uncle over witchcraft allegation.
Spokesperson of the command, SP Ahmed Wakil, who disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, December 8, said the suspect had confronted the deceased, Sunday Saleh, accusing him of initiating his son into witchcraft.
Ezekiel reportedly hit the victim, who is an octogenarian, with a stick on the head, dragged the body into his house, and then set the entire house ablaze.
As a result, the victim’s body was burnt beyond recognition. The suspect therefore packed the burnt body and buried it in a shallow grave.
“On the 06th December 2022, Information received by Tafawa Balewa Divisional Police headquarters revealed that on the 05th December 2022 complainant (name withheld) ‘m’ aged 44yrs of Gongo village while returning from market, he saw flame coming out from the house of one Sunday Saleh (Deceased) ‘m’ aged 80yrs old of the same address.
“He rushed to the scene to ascertain what was happening. On arrival, he met one Haruna Ezekiel (suspect) ‘m’ aged 35yrs of the same address at the scene and discovered that he killed and burnt the said Sunday Saleh inside the house. He (the suspect) later, dug a shallow grave and buried the body behind the burnt house.
“Preliminary investing revealed that the victim is a paternal uncle to the suspect, who alleged to have initiated the suspect’s son “Chomwanda” into witchcraft. On investigation, it was revealed that the suspect discovered that the victim who is now deceased initiated his son into witchcraft unknowingly.
“The suspect was told by his son that the victim gave him a piece of meat to eat some days ago. Later, the victim met the son and told him that the meat he ate was an initiation into witchcraft and that requires his father (the suspect) must be sacrificed in the process. On hearing this, the suspect was furious and confronted the victim about the matter, as the victim has long been suspected to be notorious for witchcraft.
“The victim (Sunday Sale) apologized to the suspect on the matter but the suspect was short-tempered and hit the victim with a stick on the head and fainted unconsciously. He dragged the victim’s body into his house and set the entire house ablaze. As a result, the victim’s body was burnt beyond recognition.
“The suspect, therefore swiftly packed the burnt body and buried it in a shallow grave behind the house. While reacting to the ugly incident, the Commissioner of Police CP Aminu Alhassan psc (+) frowned at the action of the suspect, who instead of reporting the to Police for proper investigation and prosecution, he took the law into his own hands, by gruesomely murdered the person he was suspecting without any recourse of the law.” The statement read.

Fans of Big Brother Naija star, Maria Chike, have reacted hilariously to a trending video of her speaking Igbo.
In the video, the reality TV star, who had just returned to Nigeria from a holiday overseas, is heard berating one of her workers for destroying her plants.
Maria, apparently dissatisfied with the state she met her plants, inquired of the worker whether he watered them while she was away.
While responding, the worker insisted that he watered the plants, which seemed to enrage Maria even more.
In the course of venting, Maria switched to Igbo to address the worker, and it elicited hilarious reactions online.
“You killed my plant. Ehn? What do you mean mbah (no)? You’ve killed it. Like you’ve literally just killed my plant, like. Were you not watering it?” Dude you killed my plant, even the colors….. like likeee. Chineke gbokwagi oku ebe ahu (May God burn you there)”. An enraged Maria said.

Famous rap artiste, Vector Tha Viper has reacted to the controversial statement Wizkid made a few days ago.
In an interview with Hip TV, Vector stated that it is disrespectful to talk down where people make their daily living.
Recall that the Afrobeats star blasted the rap genre, pronouncing it dead and boring.
Rap performers all over the country and lovers of the music felt betrayed and went online to vent their frustration and anger at the artiste.
Vector said it was understandable for someone whose genre is Pop to consider the rap genre dead since their yardsticks of evaluation differ.
According to him, everybody was guilty in the scenario and not just Wizkid for making the statement, since those who are supposed to be patronizing the genre are not doing so but had suddenly begun paying attention to it now that it’s been criticized and most people did not understand what Wizkid was trying to say before reacting.

Speaking in a video shared on social media, the man, who was joyful to recount how his life was spared, said he was on his way to church when an elderly man approached him and asked for help to cross the road.
He said he willingly assisted the man and that was the last thing he could remember before waking up to find himself in a kidnapper’s den.
He said when he regained consciousness, he saw himself tied up with other victims, and heard his abductors discussing how to sell him for N30,000.
The young man said suddenly he could subconsciously hear his mum praying and he said “Amen” out loud, prompting a woman who is part of the syndicate, to ask for his identity and where he’s from.
When he mentioned that his mother is a pastor, the woman asked her men to untie him and gave him some onions to peel. According to him, when no one was looking, he grabbed the opportunity and ran for his life.
“Sometimes let’s learn how to say no. It doesn’t mean you are wicked. I have seen things happen We are leaving in a wicked generation”, he concluded.
