Late TB Joshua’s Family Drags Church Officials To EFCC

The family of late Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua, alias TB Joshua, the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, has petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, to quiz officials of the church over alleged misappropriation of funds. The crisis comes barely four months after the death of the founder. The crisis is linked to the inability of the late Prophet to lay down a clear line of succession before his demise. Recall that T.B Joshua had died on June 5, 2021, and was buried a few weeks after within the premises of SCOAN amid so much fanfare. But, shortly after his burial, the succession crisis commenced. According to Daily Post, TB Joshua’s death led to a leadership limbo between his wife and some of his disciples, who felt she was not qualif...

NDA Attack: More Woes Looming, Father Mbaka Warns

The Spiritual Director of Adoration Ministry Enugu Nigeria (AMEN), Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, has warned that the invasion of the Nigerian Defence Academy was tip of the iceberg compared to what awaits the country if the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, did not change. He also called on the Federal Government to release the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, from detention. Mbaka, who made the call in a homily during Sunday mass, queried whether the attack on the NDA was carried out by the IPOB leader. He warned that the attack on the NDA was still elementary to what would happen if something drastic was not done urgently to avert it. In the homily, which had gone viral, Mbaka stated, “Did you not hear that yesterday (Saturday), bandits entered...

Any South-Easterner Who Becomes President Will Fail – Bishop Mike Okonkwo

The bishop of The Redeemed Evangelical Mission, TREM, has said that it would amount to pity for a South-Easterner to emerge President on the basis of appeasing the region. The Cleric added that any South-Easterner who becomes President would fail, claiming that the present system cannot allow success. Speaking with journalists in Lagos, the TREM founder stressed that the South-East should not beg to be President rather, should have an equal right with over citizens. According to Okonkwo: “To the best of my knowledge, the easterners are not asking for anything other than live and let live. “They are not saying, ‘give us everything’. For me, to be honest with you, I am not in agreement with any easterner saying, ‘it’s time for us to be president’. Read Also: 2023: Give Igbos A...

Winners' Chapel), Bishop David Oyedepo has spoken against the usage of earphones and phones during church service, saying that it is a tool the devil created to block people from hearing God's word, IgbereTV reports.

‘Use Headless Mannequins To Advertise Clothes, Cover Their Breast, Bottom Shapes, ‘— Kano Hisbah

The Islamic Police force in Kanu, known as Hisbah has announced regulation of mannequin use, ordering shops to use only headless mannequins to advertise clothing. This, it said, is because Islamic doctrines are against idolatry. "Islam frowns on idolatry," Haruna Ibn-Sina, the commander of the Sharia police said. BBC also quoted him as saying, "With the head-on, it looks like a human being." Ibn-Sina also wants the headless mannequins covered at all times because to show "the shape of the breast, the shape of the bottom, is contrary to the teachings of Sharia [Islamic law]". Also, some traders at Sabon Gari, a Christian-dominated part of Kano state, expressed their displeasure with the Hisbah's order. A shop owner, Chinedu Anya said displaying clothes on headless mannequi...
