A Ghanaian pastor was seen in a live streamed video, carrying out a rather bizzare crossover ritual service for his female church members.
In a video that’s now serving rounds, the pastor is seen asking his church members to quickly come up for a “holy bath” – some church members are then seen stripping naked and tying towels while being rubbed olive oil by another Pastor after the bath.
The cleric also claimed that he got the directive from above and knows it might cause controversy but he has no option than to obey the spirit.
Local news platforms in Ghana reported that the Pastor engaged in the ritual to cleanse his members so they will be “holy and pure“.

Its a New Year and I thought to put a smile on Yusuf, my Barber’s face. Thank you Yusuf, for being faithful these few years. I know sometimes you have to make sacrifices to cut my hair even as late as 1am because of my schedule, for which I am grateful.
I hope this makes you smile and lets you know that God loves you and He rewards faithfulness. Enjoy the rest of your year, Yusuf!

Even before I became so famous. Mompha has been there.
It’s so wrong of me. I disrespected him and that is why I am doing this video to tell him I am sorry. A lot of people don’t want to see me happy.
Mompha is a great guy. Me and Mompha we never, ever dated. Mompha is my brother.
Like I said, I messed up and that is why I am doing this video, to apologise to him that I am deeply sorry. I want him to forgive me. He can still go ahead with the suing. He can still sue me but I feel like it is 2022, I don’t want to have issues with anybody.”

A man who was arrested by the police in Ogun state for allegedly kidnapping a six-year-old child, has said he learned the act of k!dnapping from watching Nollywood Actor Zubby Michael’s movies.
The suspect identified as Ayobamidele Kudus Ayodele allegedly kidnapped the pupil from his school in Ojo Alaba area of Lagos, on November 16, 2021 and kept him hostage for four days until a ransom of over half a million was paid for his release.
According to Vanguard, he said, “Zubby Michael is my favorite Nollywood actor and he is good at k!dnapping roles. I decided to try out some of the methods used by Zubby to k!dnap children and adults in the movies.
I started by visiting several schools around Ojo to see the possibility of picking children without anyone noticing. On November 16, 2021, I visited a school close to Alaba Market and stayed by the gate.
I saw two pupils coming to school. One of them was holding a cane. I stopped them and started chatting with them. I took the cane from one of them and asked where he bought it. He mentioned the place but I told him to take me there. I whispered into his ears that I would buy him chocolates and biscuits.
To avoid drawing attention to myself, I took the boy to an hotel in Ilogbo Eremi, Lagos. I called his father and demanded for additional N2 million. We spent four days there before his family was able to raise N550,000. The boy stayed calm throughout because he had access to my phone which had several games.
I am sorry for causing his family so much pa!n. I am not a cu!tist or an armed robber. I do not have a gang. I just trained myself by watching Zubby Michael. My parents trained me very well, I was just impatient and greedy.”

Ghanaian singer, Stonebwoy has stylishly apologized to Nigerians after he seemingly supported Shatta Wale’s stance that Nigerians don’t show love or do enough to help Ghanaian Music and Artistes.
“As the big family that we are, we all draw diverse creative inspiration from one another – no wonder then that we have similar cultures and values across the continent, and this cross-pollination is clearly shown in our music and sound.
“With the advent of the modern-day nation-state, each independent nation is uniquely gifted in order to contribute its quota to the overall status of Africa’s entertainment and creative arts scene.
“To do this, we must support each other in equal measure. Our brother nation Nigeria has done very well to mark many of the biggest milestones in the entertainment scene and is putting Africa on the global map due to the strength of its population (amongst other qualities).
“Accordingly, our Nigerian brothers must consider that with their great power comes the responsibility of helping to forge a united African front by deliberately allowing music from the other African countries which pollinate Nigerian music to flourish on Nigerian platforms on local and international levels.”Stonebwoy wrote in part.
The dancehall singer was filmed hanging out with Davido, and he said “Naija abeg o” in a video the Nigerian music star shared on his Instastory.

Them dey play South African, American and UK Music also for GH but na Nigeria own be issue. Something fishy is smelling.
Pushing this Agenda of separation between our beautiful African Nations is a grave disservice to the Generations coming after us.

Therefore if Shatta or anyone has a personal problem with me, I’m still open to fight 1 on 1 and squash it after.
The same way i have always been, nobody will ruin the unity we continuosly try to build for a stronger and better Africa.
