Popular Nigerian clergyman, Bishop David Oyedepo, has advised single people against getting married because of money.
The founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide gave this admonition while preaching in his church on Sunday, August 29. According to him, he did not have money when he got married to his wife 39 years ago but now he is regarded as the “richest pastor in the world“.
He also addressed parents who prevent their children from getting married because their partner doesn’t have money or meet their educational standards.
Citing a verse from the bible, the clergyman noted that “there is a way that seems right to a man but the end is death“.
He said,
“You don’t jump into marriage because somebody has money. I didn’t have no money. I didn’t look like someone who will have money. Just one boy who doesn’t know what he is saying, always saying, “Jesus loves you.”
Did we say, “He hates us before”?
You think this man has any future?
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
You couldn’t imagine that you could see the meaning of wealth and now they say, “He is the richest Pastor in the world.” From the forest.
They have a right to say that because he doesn’t borrow, he doesn’t beg and yet he doesn’t lack. Then what is wealth?
For someone to say, “you can’t marry that person. You know your status, my status in town, you want to marry somebody who is …! Don’t let me talk nonsense to you.”
There are some parents like that: they are the ones to marry their daughter to somebody.
“How many degrees does he have?” Only one. No, not in this family, we don’t have one degree here! Then marry her. You are the father, be the father and husband.”

The controversial social media commentator had taken to his Instagram page to share a photo of himself posing beside a frame of late legendary singer, Michael Jackson, to celebrate him on his posthumous birthday. However, Reno was rocking an all-back hairstyle in the photo.

Reacting to this, Reno called the man out for questioning his hairstyle and stated that Nigerian Christians are worse than Kano Hisbah.
Sharing a collage of the man’s comment and the photo, Reno wrote,
“Dear @mandelahsharason,
Why are you guys always so eager to usurp God’s authority? Leave God to judge who is a believer and who is not. You guys condemn Kano Hisbah, but your own Christian Hisbah is worse. Have you finished perfecting your walk with Christ that you want to make mine imperfect?
Please read 1 Samuel 16:7:
“Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
Some of you who condemn people’s outward appearance have such wonderful hearts that think things that if they were made public…”

A teacher, identified as Alhaji Usman Galadima, has been accused of sexually abusing 14 pupils in the primary school he teaches in Niger state.
According to reports, the Grade 2 teacher at the Central Primary School Karabonde, Borgu Local Government Area, Niger State, allegedly threatened to kill the pupils if they told anyone about it.
However, two of the pupils summoned courage to report to the school’s headmistress, Hajiya Maimunat Tanko, who then reported to the headmaster, Mallam Abdullahi Toure.
When Alhaji Galadima was confronted with the allegations, he reportedly denied the student’s claims.
With time, more students came out to report that they had also been sexually molested by the teacher, which made the school launch an investigation into the matter.
However, Alhaji Galadima still claimed to be innocent until a delegate sent by Bà Karabonde, the traditional head of Karabonde, came to the school to complain that some girls from grades 2 and 3 of the school had told their parents that they were molested by the teacher.
According to the kids, Galadima told them to come to school very early and he used the opportunity to sexually assault them.
Following this concrete allegation, Galadima confessed to raping only one of the girls. At this time, members of the community had already gotten wind of the incidents and they stormed the school with weapons to hurt Galadima, however, he had been smuggled out of the school.
Thereafter, the case was transferred to the Borgu Emirate Council and Galadima was promised leniency if he confessed.
Galadima, then changed his statement, claiming he only abused two of the girls before later admitting to defiling 5 of them. So far, 14 pupils have come forward to reveal how the teacher asked them to kiss him and play with his manhood. Others said he raped them.
The girls were taken to the hospital for treatment where it was discovered that Galadima, who is currently on the run, is HIV positive.
It is currently unknown if the girls contracted the virus because the hospital withheld their test results and prescribed only drugs for them.
Parents of the girls have called on the appropriate authorities and NGOs to wade into the matter and help them get justice.

Nigerian Grammy-award winning singer and African Giant, Burna Boy, recently held a concert at the O2 Arena in UK, and by all indication, it was a huge success.
Prior to the show, there were opinions by rival fans that the “Ye” crooner did not sell out the arena, but Burna squashed this claim after his show, as he claimed he sold out his tickets, the way he wanted, at his own price.
The rival fans would not admit defeat, and as they searched for more details on the arena, they landed on the Instagram page of an instrumentalist who performed that night.
The instrumentalist’s instagram post shows that 12,000 people were in attendance.
However, a quick google search tells us that the O2 arena capacity is way about 12,000, and a sold out show would be nothing less than 20,000.
So who do we believe, Burna, or the instrumentalist ?

“I’ve never had my heartbroken by a man, I didn’t attend an all girls’ school…
I grew up in Ilorin and I didn’t know other gay people existed for years, I was raised in church
Stereotypes are dumb, I’m a Lesbian because I was born this way and I choose to live my truth.”

Revered clergyman, Pastor E.A Adeboye has shared the advise he gave one of his daughters who complained that no man was approaching her for a relationship.

Pastor Adeboye shared this story in his church on Sunday, August 29 while speaking to the congregation on the importance of laughter.
Read the full story below,
“When I became General Overseer, the teachings around then were that as a true Christian you must look too serious, thank God we have learned a little more now. I remember those days in Ebute-Metta, when we were doing Sunday School group by group, I will be going round to make sure things are going properly, I will leave my office determined to be serious and as I am going I will see little children and I can’t resist them, I will laugh and smile, I will get back to the office and say oh God, look at you now, you are supposed to be serious until He showed me that even me your Father I laugh, what a deliverance.
I remember one of my daughters came to me around that period after God delivered me from not having laughter, she said daddy what is the problem, no brother has ever come to me to say how now? I said do you want to hear the truth? She said yes, I said if I were a brother I don’t think I will come to you because you are always looking serious, always looking as if you just finish a fight, smile. She was shocked but then all of a sudden she smiled and I didn’t even know she was beautiful. Less than a year later she was happily married.”

In other news, the singing sensation, Ric Hassani recently took to social media to open up on his struggles with finding a life partner.
Ric in a Twitter thread stated that finding someone these days is scary and has been through “intense craziness” while trying to find the one.
He noted that it’s heart-wrenching writing love songs while being single and has decided to hand over the choice of a partner to God, since his discretion has failed him in the past and almost cost him everything.
In his words,
“Finding someone these days is so scary for me, considering the intense craziness I’ve been through. I have really put it in God’s hands completely at this point, my discretion has failed me in the past and almost cost me everything.
I think a decision as serious as finding a life partner it us not wisest for one to rely completely on their own discretion, there has to be a degree of surrender to a higher power for that decision. Life partnership is a make or break, and I say it from firsthand experience.
I travel the world, make and have some really interesting amounts of money, come back to this big, incredibly arranged house, but I come back to no one. I love the Peace because it’s priceless, but deep down i pray God sends me a solid, & worthful companion. Amen”.
