The General overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God, Worldwide, Pastor E.A. Adeboye speaks on make-up, Jewellery, Wigs & bleached hair. Below are the details of what Daddy said:

The elders have a say, “if children of the same mother enters into a room to talk and come out smiling, they have not told each other the truth.” Alright, so in the next 3 minutes, you might not be smiling as I am going to tell you the truth, because am your daddy. Strictly speaking I have searched the scripture, there is nowhere that I have found where it is written, if you wear make-up, you will go to hell or you will not make it to heaven, I can’t find it in the Bible. It is not to be found anywhere at all, but I have done my own research.

There are two places in the whole Bible where references were made to painting of face, only two places, and the two places are bad. One of the places talked about Jezebel. How many of you will name your daughter Jezebel? 2 Kings 9:30, the day Jezebel was going to die, she did make up properly, painted her face, dented her face with jewelries, but at the end of the day, dog ate her.

The second place is in Jeremiah 4:29-30 where God was speaking in anger to daughters of Zion, He says, “when I make up my mind to deal with you, you can paint your face as you like, it is not going to deliver you.” Read it, you have your Bible to read. Those are the only two places I found, and they are terrible references.

Now as far as am concerned, it is up to you to decide how you want to look, you want to make up, you want to paint yourself, you are at liberty.
If for any reason whatsoever God decides not to allow you to enter heaven, sorry o!!!
The point I’m making is this, nobody ever add sugar to honey. Have you seen anybody adding sugar to honey? Anytime you see a piece of furniture that is painted, wooden furniture that is painted, the wood is inferior. When the wood is ebony, nobody paints it, no no no. I think children of God should realise they are precious enough, by the special grace of God and by the shed blood of Jesus Christ. They are honey, they don’t need sugar.

Some people go about in the name of fashion wearing wigs. I’m not being judgemental at all. This is not law, there is no where in the Bible which says if you wear wigs, you can’t make it to heaven. But this hair that you are wearing, from whose head was it cut? Do you know who was the original owner of the hair? Do you know what kind of anointing is in that hair? It is put in the most important part of your body, the head!!! “Thou anointed my head.” Things are so bad now that some ladies comes for ordination with wigs on. I always asked them, which one do you want me to anoint, the wig or the head? I told you, you will not smile by the time I finished. I have not been legalistic, I have not said thou shall not wear wig. I’m only talking to my daughters, my own children.
I read something in the book of Revelation 7:1-3. Some angels were sent from heaven to deal with the inhabitants of the world, after the rapture, the Bible says, “I heard the Almighty God said, before you begin to deal with people, let me mark them, let me seal them on their forehead, so that we know those that the bullet should not hit.”

What we wear matters. Why do you think the army wear uniforms? It is so that they will not accidentally shoot their own members. Can God recognize you at a glance, that is, as a child of God? Some people say it does not matter, and that what is inside is what is important, I agree with the last part, but what is inside will show outside. it will show on the outside, it will show, don’t let anybody deceive you.

When I became General Overseer, I brought a group of teachers to come and teach in the Bible College and they began to teach series of things I did not bargain for. They were teaching that God is not interested in the outside, He is interested in the inside, this man (the G. O.) is legalistic, he is too strict. So I went to Oyingbo market to buy two oranges, one ripe and the other green all over. My Bible students were beginning to turn to rebels and God gave me wisdom, so I stood before the class and I said, which of this oranges will you take if I ask you to pick one? They all pointed at the yellow and ripe one, and I said why? They said because that one is going to be the sweeter one. How do you know when you have not seen the inside? They all said what is inside the orange portrays and shows what is reflecting outside. An orange is sweet from the appearance because its inside is sweet and vice versa to unripe oranges….
It was at this point I passed the real message to his people and the Holy Spirit gave them change of heart afterwards.

People of God, God cannot be mocked, you cannot begin to tell people that God only dwells in the heart of man, seeks the heart alone and not the facial appearance, It is A LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL !!! …

You cannot sit on the fence, it either you are cold or hot… Say no to FASHION OF HELL … Why not be and remain the way God created you? Why are you adding to what God has created? In other words, you are telling God that, “God ooh, see you are senseless to have created me this way I am, I am going to recreate myself back with make ups.” (God forbid).

May you not be an enemy of God. Amen. “Let your dressing be in modest apparell, not of painting of face or using of gold, necklaces or earrings, but of pure heart, shamefacedness and modesty.”

Have you considered Jezebel in the Bible? She was a perfect example of the usage of all these things, and she made all these things of demonic value. May you not be among her descendants in Jesus mighty name. Let your watchword be ”WORLDLINESS FORBIDDEN.” Instead of the world copying good things from us (believers), we the believers are the one copying bad things from the world! Very shameful and pathetic!
Remember, “friendliness with the world equals to enmity with God.”
Beware of the end time vices and change your ways now!

The Man “Obasanjo”. The greedy Internal Colonialist.

Prof Ezenwa Ugochukwu.

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is the one who sowed the seed of corruption in Nigeria as far back as 1975.

What we witnessed in Nigeria between 1975 and 2015 are the fruits of Obasanjo's Corruption and wickedness for which GOD destroyed the World with water in Genesis 6:2-14.

Obasanjo is the greatest enemy of Nigeria. It could have been better for Nigeria if he was not born.

I have all the documents of all you shall read from now with EFCC and had been investigated.

They were all in the Vanguard of 6th April, 2017, in an interview I gave them for my 90th Birthday.

I jointly with the Federal Government are great victims of Obasanjo's Fraud and wickedness.

Nigerian Youth are the greatest victims

Obasanjo was in the FOUR YEARS PLAN of General Yakubu Gowon referred to on 17th November 2017 in Channels News.

General Gowon said:-

"If the Government that took over from my Government had executed the FOUR YEARS PLAN that my Government had proposed for Nigeria, Nigeria would have been greater than DUBAI in all respect. We are now in poor state."

Gowon had two plans.

1. Construction of Dual Carriage Way to serve the Proposed Modular Refineries ranging from 500bpd to 50,000bpd along the Niger Delta States.

There would be no Crude oil spillng.

This was to be financed by French Government, through Bank National De Paris, BNP.

The loan was less than $100million Dollars at 4% interest rate at 70Kobo to a dollar. Not 500billion Dollars at N350 for Dollar 40 years later.

Obasanjo was a signatory to the Joint Venture Agreement.

He owns 20% of the share capital.

Obasanjo is one of the Subscribers to the Articles and Memorandum of the Company.

He was in charge constructions.

All this arrangements were concluded while he was on Military Course in London.

He came back in 1975 and was made Commissioner for Works, very unfortunately.

He was to develop the Tin Can Island Port. Obasanjo ended up stealing a large Part Of the Land he was to develop and developed Beach Land Estate for himself under the identity of Late Chief Egunjobi.

He let part of the Estate to Julius Berger for $1millon Dollars per annum.

For this reason he took over the Government from Gen Muritala Muhammed in 1975.

Olusegun Obasanjo made the  FOUR YEARS PROGRESSIVE PLAN to 40 years corruptive, wicked and punitive, Retrogressive Plan.

1975 to 2015.

Nigeria was kept in WILDERNESS for 40 years, where the people are hungry, sick, ignorant and defenceless.

Went after the life of Gen Gowon, stripped him of all the facilities granted him whilst in exile in LONDON, by Gen Muritala Muhammad. Killed many soldiers from Benue and Plateau.

Most wicked and sadist.

According to Late Allison Ayida, in his book Obasanjo was paying Civil Servants to say that Gowon Killed Muritala.

What a Devil?

The second part of the FOUR YEARS DEVELOPMENT PLAN was the construction of Modular Refineries.

The French Government were to finance the Ajaokuta Iron and Steel Project.

They financed the Sapele Salt Refineries owned jointly by my Company, Nigeria Salt and Allied Chemical Industry Limited.

Because I would not over invoiced by 132% which shall be loss of many millions Dollars.

Instead of $24.5 per metric ton Obasanjo paid $56.6 per metric tons.

When I, as the Managing Director refused to alter the price of $25.5 to $56.6 Obasanjo and Ahmed Joda his cohort with Liman Adamu Ciroma went ahead and signed and took over the Company by Decree forbiding me all my right to make redress on any Court in Nigeria. Decree No.27 September, 1978, 40 years ago

General Babangida ended up buying the Salt Factory under the cover of Chief Gabriel Igbinedion and later bought

by both Governor Ibori and Governor Lucky Igbinedion.

They turned it to Tank Farm for Nigeria Crude oil refined outside the Country  to be sold to Nigeria.

I latter appeared before Justice Oputa Panel led by Barr Femi Falana.

I took Obasanjo to Court and sued for $100billion.

Obasanjo did all he could to see that the case did not get to the Court.

Barr Femi Falana went before National Human Rights Commission, NHRC.

Despite all my effort to get the Executive Secretary to Get the case fixed, my lawyer, Femi Falana who told me that we would bring Obasanjo to Court, was working against me.

We got notice that the Commissioners were to go to the site for inspections.

The letter was sent to Falana's Chamber. The copy was sent to me from Femi Falana's Chambers.

Falana did not turn up at Ughara, Sapele. He did not send any Lawyer from his Chamber.

These cases are with the EFCC. Obasanjo paid him not to appear

I have got petitions with the Presidency and the EFCC which I expect President Buhari should act on now.

I am sure that President Bihari would, win the election.

He, Obasanjo should be arrested now. The Oba of Lagos told Obasanjo that he was the problem of Nigeria.

Obasanjo, Babangida and Danjuma are the ones fighting Nigeria. They are richer than Africa put together

When I wrote my petition to the Presidency in 2017 Obasanjo ran to the Ooni of Ife crying that EFCC was after him.

Lately, I reported to EFCC and they got the Children of Chief Egunjobi to come to their Office with all implicating documents on 7th November, 2018.

It was reported in Daily Post of 6th November, that Obasanjo said that EFCC could not seize his Passport.

Obasanjo is a coward. Whenever he is in trouble he always remember that he is a Yoruba.

Obasanjo is not greater than Nigeria.

I have submitted more than enough documents on Obasanjo and Danjuma. I would forgive others.

If Obasanjo had not sown the seed of corruption in 1975, within four years, Nigeria in 1979 would have since been greater than DUBAI

When Obasanjo was leaving as Military Head of State he insisted that Danjuma should resign from the Army.

Obasanjo should be brought to book. Babangida should be made to pay back the $12.5 Billion Dollars.

These people are not greater than the Government of Nigeria..

Any Party that associate with Obasanjo is Corrupt. Nigeria is already in the PROMISED LAND.

We are not going back to the WILDERNESS.

The  GOD is answering the Prayers Of The Catholic Church every Mass for Nigeria In Distress that Obasanjo put Nigeria.

We also pray against Bribery and Corruption. GOD is answering  our prayers.

I am fighting against Bribery and Corruption. I am for GOD, I am with President Muhamed Buhari.

If Obasanjo is invited by EFCC following my well no documented petition, the election would be won before 2019.

TINUBU SPECIAL MESSAGES TO APC MEMBERS.

The world is laughing at us. We like good economy. 

We want steady and constant power

supply, we want jobs, we want food on our 

table, we desire good infrastructure and security but at the same time could not exercise patience for a willing government that is sincerely laying the foundation for all these to happen.

They brainwashed you with "hunger in the land" slogan. They said 20million Nigerians lost jobs.

Majority of those people who they said they lost their jobs were construction company workers whose contract monies were diverted and could not continue as at the time PMB took over.

With resumption of roads construction, rail construction, 2nd Niger Bridge, why are they not sincere to tell us how many Nigerians have been engaged?

They tell us bankers lost jobs, who liquidated those banks?

Did PMB or Osinbajo take loan from these banks?

Who killed Cooperative bank?

Who killed Societè Generale?

Who killed Enterprise bank?

Who killed Intercontinental? Who killed Skye bank? Some of them took loans ranging from 10billion and above and refused to pay back.

The banks fold up and you hear them shamelessly saying Buhari made Nigerians lose their jobs.

Since inception Buhari didn't sack anybody.

In fact he employed more graduates and junior level officers into the civil/public service.

He didn't owe salary.

By 28 of every month all federal workers receive salaries.

Because you are not well informed you sink their lies. They say Buhari plan to Islamize Nigeria. How possible? Even Military government cannot dare it. Nigeria is a secular State. They use our Christian leaders to brainwash us because we have no sense of history.

In 1999-2001 you recall the religious riot in kaduna.

I was in Kaduna then, many Christians were massacred. Obj was president then. Between 2000-2007 you recall the Fulani herders -farmers/locals crises in plateau State that led to declaration of state of emergency in plateau State.

Who was president then? Obj and not PMB.

Do you know that in Benue State farmer -fulani herdsmen had been at each other's throat since the military era? These kind of unhealthy political intrigues can only thrive in Nigeria where people have no sense of history or some people just want to deceive themselves.

Those who plunged us into the den of hunger, job loss, darkness, decay infrastructure, insecurity and poor education are posing as messiah, they killed our university system for their own to thrive .

It is only in Nigeria where a sitting president and his vice would approve for themselves, while in office, the licence to build universities. It is only in Nigeria where a president would abandon construction of National library and build multi billion naira presidential library in his hilltop mansion and the youths whose future is mortgaged will be clapping for them.

Resources that are meant for all were carted away yet you are here crucifying a man that is 'righting the wrongs' haba!

GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

Prophet T.B. Joshua has given both a message of hope and warning to Nigerians regarding the 2019 presidential elections.

President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will slug it out with Atiku Abubakar, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate on Saturday

“I want to tell you that no matter the situation, be calm; God is in control,” Joshua told congregants.

“Those who will cause trouble will see trouble and those who will cause peace will see peace,” he continued, detailing that the aftermath of the election would ‘look very fearful’.

“You will see the clouds so dark as if it’s about to rain – but suddenly the dark cloud disappears,” he figuratively depicted, saying Nigerians would have greater cause to “respect God” after the elections.

“If anything happens to this country called Nigeria, that is the end of Africa,” he asserted, explaining that Africa’s most populous nation “has a very strong bond with God”.

“If the people of Nigeria want to cause trouble, they will cause trouble for themselves but the nation of Nigeria will stand,” the cleric concluded.

Two persons have been shot dead and about thirteen vehicles destroyed on Friday night after some hoodlums attacked office of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, in Obot-Akara Local Government Council of Akwa Ibom State.

It was gathered that the victims died as a result of gun battle between the hoodlums and the security personnel on election duties at Nto Edino, the headquarters of Obot-Akara, during the distribution of sensitive materials for the postponed Presidential and National Assembly elections.

An eyewitness, who spoke to some journalists on condition of anonymity, said security has been beefed up in the area as fear and confusion had enveloped the community of Obot-Akara.

“As we speak, two persons have been killed and thirteen vehicles burnt down already in the Local Government headquarters. The crisis started between the security personnel and some thugs when INEC staff were distributing sensitive materials for the elections,” the source said.

However, the senatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr Chris Ekpeyong, attributed the crisis to some All Progressives Congress stalwarts in the local government area who he alleged have been causing crisis in the local council for a long time now.

Ekpeyong, who hailed from Obot-Akara said he was in Uyo monitoring the distribution of the materials when news got to him that there was crisis going on in the local government and that two persons have been killed and buses destroyed already.

The PDP senatorial candidate who claimed he knew those who instigated the crisis said he had already made a formal complaint to the police authorities to pick them up in order to prevent future occurrence of the crisis.

According to him, “We know them and they are the same people who have been causing problem in the locality. I made a formal complaint to the police for those people to be picked up and investigated because last time the same people did the same thing when they were recruiting ad-hoc officers.

“They went ahead to beat up the electoral officer because they wanted to force him to accept their own list for the ad-hoc staff. The matter was reported to the police and nothing was done because they believed they have somebody who is behind them.

“This is the kind of government we have at the centre, they want to take over Akwa Ibom State by force but I have told my people not to take a reprisal attack.”

Also, another political stalwart in the area, the Commissioner for Youths and Sports, Monday Ebong Uko, said he was privy to the report but must move down to the venue of the incident to ascertain the level of damage done in the area.

Meanwhile, the Public Relations Officer of Akwa Ibom State Police Command, Odiko Macdon, when contacted, said he and the commissioner of police, Bashir Makama, were on their way to the venue to confirm the veracity of the report.

President Muhammadu Buhari and former heads of state at the National Council of State Meeting on Tuesday… January 22

The National Council of State has approved N27,000 as the minimum wage for the country.

The council approved the amount at its meeting in Abuja on Tuesday.

Following the Council’s approval, a minimum wage bill is expected to be sent to the National Assembly on Wednesday.

According to the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, the Federal Government is topping the approved amount by N3,000 to 30,000 for its workers.

He said the states are at liberty to augment the new agreement as they see fit.

The amount approved by the Council of State is N3,000 short of the N30,000 that the Tripartite Committee on Review of National Minimum Wage recommended.

The committee, chaired by a former Head of Service of the Federation, Ms Ama Pepple, had submitted the report, which contained the recommended figure, to President Muhammadu Buhari on November 6, 2018, after many months of deliberations.

Prior to the committee’s recommendation, in October, state governors had offered to pay N22,500 as minimum wage.

Nine days after the committee recommended N30,000, on November 15, the Nigeria Governors’ Forum insisted that the states cannot pay the amount, leading to criticism by organised Labour which insisted on N30,000.

On January 8, 2019, the Nigeria Labour Congress held a nationwide protest over what it said was the delay by the Federal Government to transmit a new minimum wage bill to the National Assembly.

A former minister of state for defence, Musiliu Obanikoro has testified against immediate past governor of Ekiti state, Ayode Fayose in a case between the later and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

According to Obanikoro, who was a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, and a former ally of Fayose, he handed $5 million cash, to Fayose back in 2014.

Giving evidence before Mojisola Olatoregun, a judge of the Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday, during the trial of Fayose, Obanikoro revealed that because the bank was unable to pay the equivalent of the money in naira, he had to give physical cash of N200 million to Mr Fayose on June 5, 2014, from the National Security Adviser’s imprest account.

Obanikoro while being led in evidence by the prosecuting counsel, Rotimi Jacobs, who is prosecuting the case on behalf of the anti-graft agency, EFCC, had this to say:

“on a Monday in June, 2014 I received a call from Mr Peter Ayodele Fayose, when we were approaching the gubernatorial election in Ekiti State, wanting to know if there is any message from National Security Adviser Col Sambo Dasuki but I replied no.

“But shortly after his call, a message came in from NSA saying certain amount of money will be received into the account that was opened to manage Boko Haram threat under my watch as minister of state for defence. NSA told me that Fayose will call me as to how he will receive the money.”

“A total equivalent of $5 million from National Security Adviser impress account was given to Fayose by the order of NSA.”

He recounted also how Fayose introduced one “Biodun Agbele to me that he would be the one to receive the money for him which was done in Akure Airport because it was physical cash.”

“I had earlier wanted to transfer the dollars so that the Naira equivalent can be withdrawn in Ado Ekiti, which was the reason why I initially called Diamond Bank M.D but he replied that the bank does not have such capacity in Ado Ekiti for that huge amount of money.”

Kanu Agabi, a senior advocate, Fayose’s counsel then applied for an adjournment to enable him to cross-examine Obanikoro. Olatoregun, therefore adjourned the case to February 4th,5th and 6th, 2019.

The case against the former governor by the EFCC centers on allegations that he and his company, Spotless, received various funds from former National Security Advised, Sambo Dasuki. The funds were said to be have been meant for arms procurement to combat Boko Haram insurgency.

President Buhari also said it is unfair for individuals, groups or politicians alike to allege that he was protecting some corrupt persons in his government while those in the opposition were being hounded.

President Buhari said:-

“It is a very unfair allegation against my integrity. I don’t think… anyway you are in a position to find out and if you do so, I don’t care.

“Publish it even if my son or my wife has a company and they are involved in deals with customs and excise and so on, bringing in illegal goods or whatever, I challenge you to do that”.

Senator Dino Melaye has denied being part of the lawmakers that booed President Muhammadu Buhari during the 2019 budget presentation before a joint session of the National Assembly on December 19, 2018.

Melaye, who represents Kogi West Senatorial District on the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said he was absent at the House of Representatives chamber, venue of the budget presentation on that day, let alone partake in jeering the president.

We recalls that some lawmakers, mainly of the opposition PDP, jeered the president during the budget presentation. But they were countered by their All Progressives Congress (APC) counterparts, who cheered the president.

Apparently disturbed by the development, Buhari had to pause to caution the lawmakers, saying “May I remind Honourable members that the world is watching us, and we should be above this.”

Since the incident, there have been reports in the social media that the booing was led by the Kogi senator.

But Melaye, in his first reaction to the social media reports, said in a statement by his media aide, Gideon Ayodele, on Saturday evening that those that kept calling his name on the incident lied against him.

Melaye’s denial came 24 hours after he surrendered himself to the police following one week siege on his Maitama residence over an alleged case of culpable homicide, an allegation he denied.

‎“The attention of Senator Dino Melaye has been drawn to a malicious reference to his person on the social media as one of the lawmakers who booed President Muhammadu Buhari during his 2019 Budget presentation before a joint session of the National Assembly on Wednesday, December 19, 2018.

“Before now, he had refused to refute the mischievious social media fabrication for what it is – a cheap lie – Senator Dino Melaye was not in the National Assembly that day.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Distinguished Senator Dino Melaye was absent at the televised 2019 Budget Presentation session and hereby challenges anyone with contrary proof to come forward with such.
