He further stated that the man is lazy, visionless and lazy, as he recounted his experience with the couple.

Pastor Ativie said;

"The man has killed her. Man without vision. Man that is jobless. Man that is lazy. She came to Benin to minister to us. As she came, she wanted to even stay till the next day but the pressure was too much. The man, the way he discusses money with you..He is too carnal.

I know that if a preacher comes, you should bless the person but you see, I don't like when a thing is too physical.

The way the man was discussing money will even make you hate the woman's gift but the woman carries something that is too deep that you cannot ignore.

After they had negotiated and we have paid fully, the woman came, ministered and left. The evening after she left, she called me and said 'Sir, did you send any love offering?'

We sent it one month before she came but he didn't tell the woman. Evil man. He didn't tell the woman that we have sent anything. We sent it one month before she came."he said

But after joining his better half, Funke never stopped behaving and making it clear that SceneOne Production is her own and will only let JJCskillz have a decent amount of money without having to explain himself and even that, Funke will have to see it as a reasonable excuse. Funke at least provocation will scream in a rudely manner even when third parties are around.
