Pastor Enenche — If not for Church, many Nigerians would have committed suicide

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 11:30 PM PDT

Many Nigerians would have d*ed from s*ic*de due to harsh economic realities in the country but for the church, Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Dr Paul Enenche, has said.

Enenche stated this during a sermon at his church's headquarters, Glory Dome, Abuja.

"Thank God for Church, otherwise many people would have k*lled themselves since. If they say there was s*ic*de, just imagine what will happen if not for Church.

Living in a kind of country we are living and in the part of the world we are living, the only thing that has kept us alive and kept us well is Word of God. Didn't you hear the COVID predictions, that millions would be on the streets of Africa.

We don't have all the sophisticated things they have there, but we have raw Word of God. Even though they mock us and they say with all our Word, where is our development? But the Word of God has saturated the ground.

We don't have ventilators, we don't have anything but we have the Word and the predictions could not come to pass because He frustrated the tokens of liars," he said.

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 11:00 PM PDT

Big Brother Naija 'Shine Ya Eye' Housemate, Maria, has revealed how she felt about fellow Housemate, Micheal, when he entered the House.

Maria made this known during a private conversation with her admirer, Pere, in the garden yesterday.

Maria made it clear that Micheal is her kind of her man but he had to keep her distance due to his age.

She made this shocking revelation after Pere told her about Jackie B's confession to him on the first week of the Show.

Pere made it known that Jackie B confessed that she's attracted to him.

In reaction to Pere's claim, Maria who was clearly surprised said: "Jackie B told you that? Jackie B said that?"

Pere nods in affirmation as he boldly defends his statement. He further stated that he started "catching feelings" when he got close to Maria.

Maria doesn't feel comfortable listening to Pere's cooked up story as she decided to change the topic of discussion.

Maria said: "You just keep telling me the same thing. Do you know Micheal was also my kind of man? He's actually my kind of man.

I think I would have fallen in love with him if he's a bit older than me".

After the eviction show, Liquorose confronted Emmanuel over his response, saying he was trying to play safe and being political.

Few hours ago, Jackie B was seen as she walked to the garden where Angel and Whitemoney were discussing. Immediately Angel saw Jackie B, she told her that she can't remember where she had dropped the sneakers, but it should be somewhere around the house.

Angel told her that she would look for it and give it back to her. Later, Angel gave Jackie B back her sneakers in the dressing room. Even Jackie B was holding the sneakers while walking out of the dressing room with Angel.

Jackie B was later captured discussing with Jaypaul as she insinuated that Angel stole her sneakers. In their conversation, Jaypaul said he doesn't like Angel.

I just want to tell folks that yes, for those doubting Thomases, that the damn thing is real.

I'm feeling funny; even though I had my vaccines, double shots, I'm still almost like, hmm, that doesn't mean that you're immune.

So, folks, there are a lot of people walking around with it, but they don't even know. He said

Pantami – FG To Deploy 5G Network Soon

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 06:00 AM PDT

The Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy says it will soon deploy the Five Generation network in Nigeria for increased connectivity.

The Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Dr Isa Pantami, disclosed this in Abuja when he featured on FORUM, a special News Agency of Nigeria interview programme.

The minister said that the decision to deploy the 5G network followed an outcome of thorough investigations, research, and trial absolving it of posing a security or health threat.


According to him, the work on the national policy on 5G stands at 95 per cent done and will be presented to the Federal Executive Council in due course.

Pantami, who said that the primary concern of the government was to ensure the security and welfare of Nigerians in their utilisation of services in the telecommunications sector, blamed the delay in the deployment of the 5G network on conspiracy theories.

There were concerns that COVID-19 was associated with the deployment of the 5G communications network.

"Our government is a listening one; so we listen to constructive criticisms, respect it and appreciate it and at least we value it.

"We'd reached advanced stage of 5G, then, an issue came up that 5G was related to COVID-19; many people including the educated ones started circulating it without verification.

"Naturally, people are a bit scared and skeptical about technology.

"So we gave enough time to do more consultation, creating awareness in local languages so as to engage our citizens to address all the challenges.

"We set up a technical team that accommodated security, health, and environmental institutions, and the public sector so that we can be on the same page.

"I want to give you the assurance that the 5G communication network is in the pipeline."

Pantami said that the ministry had started discussions with the Nigerian Communications Commission concerning spectrum for commercial purposes.

"From that spectrum, NCC will give it to mobile operators to start deployment; so, the policy is almost ready.

"I went to the National Assembly, I defended our presentation and they have accepted and they have also endorsed the deployment of 5G.

"They have also encouraged us to learn from other countries that have deployed 5G and we have already done that.

"The World Health Organisation has issued a statement that there is no relationship between 5G network and COVID-19 and that addresses the health issue.

"Similarly, the International Communications Union (ICU), which is an arm of the UN, also issued another statement debunking any implications from the 5G," Pantami said.

Ex-BBNaija housemate, Esther Agunbiade, turned 25 yesterday August 22.

She shared sexy new photos of herself on her Instagram page this morning with the caption;

"A year ago, just after my 24th birthday, I had a disturbing dream that I won't mark 25, I spoke to my mum and we both prayed about it.

All through the year, I'll be doing something random and the words from the dream would keep replaying in my head, it was so disturbing that I told my brother who is a Trust and Wills expert that I wanted to make a will.

I'm super grateful to be alive, I can only say that it's by God's grace, He said He'll perfect all that concerns me and I know He just started.
Cheers to a new age Olaoluwa"

Sex Scandal: Apostle Suleman Addressed His Congregation

Posted: 23 Aug 2021 04:00 AM PDT

According to the video making rounds online, the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministry (OFM), Apostle Johnson Suleman has said that he is not angry at those attacking him on social media.

We recall that Nollywood actress, Chioma Ifemeludike alleged that she slept with the popular clergyman for money and the memory has continued to torment her.

Apostle Suleman implored his congregation and followers not to send him any encouraging messages again.

"Why are you encouraging a man that is not discouraged. I'm upset since yesterday. I saw messages saying that I should not worry. Read my countenance, when you see me moody you can encourage me. Do I look like somebody who needs encouragement? I'm not discouraged at all and I'm not angry at those insulting me on social media," he said.

The clergyman said he is focused on his God-given assignment and the people who are insulting him, only did that because of what they read online.

"They are reacting to what they read. They are reacting to what they see and not what they know. You can't know me and not like me, it's impossible. Keep doing what you are doing and I'll keep doing what I'm doing. I must do the work of he that sent me," Apostle Suleman said.

He further added that all the videos made against him, he intentionally ignored them.

"My wife can bear witness, all the video done against me I've not watch one. Many of you have watched it but me, the subject matter I've not watch one. What I don't see cannot affect me. Somebody sent me a video from a blog yesterday, that was the last time it was on my phone. I guard my heart so that I can have fellowship with God. Stop all these rumors and gossips. What will not encourage me I don't give attention to it," Apostle Suleman said.

Lest they be worried about the protection of values and safety…
On the ONE who will change the narrative…

On this day He shall sit…
The oil shall be poured and it shall flow into our hearts!
And He will be like a tree planted by the river that bears fruits and will never wither…
And we shall scream…
"There he is, our delight"…
The hour is close, He no longer arrives!
He is here!
