Advertisment
Leading prophetic voice in the world and senior pastor of
Abuja-based Champions Royal Assembly, Bro. Joshua Iginla has remained an
instrument in the hands of God to heal broken hearted and transform lives
globally.
As the word of God has the ability to impact not only one’s
spirit and mind but also one’s physical body, Bro. Iginla has always
demonstrated how the power of God heals in significant ways. The servant of
God, in his ministering element, practically inserts the word into people and
it goes right into the mind and impacts every fibre of the body systems. At the
end of the day, the mission gives people the opportunity to share testimonies.

At Champions Royal Assembly, people are witnesses to
miracles God performs and has been performing for more than 15 years since its
launch. The fast-spreading ministry, headquartered in Abuja,Nigeria has several
branches across the world, while Iginla has ignited many dimensions of
Christianity characterized by charity, signs, wonders and healing miracles,
around the globe.
According to Bro. Iginla: “Our mandate is to wipe out tears,
restore people to their destinies by the revelation of the word, manifestation
of power and reality of the Holy Spirit, and put an end to affliction and to
produce people of fire throughout the globe. The Bible is quite clear about the
need for practical support for the needy and it is an unambiguous admonition of
God to provide food, shelter and clothing for the sick, widows, children, the
prisoners, the elderly and all those who are suffering,” stated the Oracle of
God in a chat with newsmen.
Bro. Iginla is not just blessed with the gift of firebrand
preaching, and powers of divine healing and prophecy, his mega outreach also
serves as conduit through which vital services are provided to local
communities. On the side,Iginla writes books, many that inspire sickness-free
life, God-centered dating relationships.

Meanwhile, looking at pastors of large congregations today,
only a select few of them do tend to contribute hugely to a wide range of
charities and community outreach efforts. Among this very few is Bro. Joshua
Iginla. From the early Christianity to the modern age, genuine Christians have
carried with them a beneficial concept of charity that has had, and continues
to have, a substantial impact on humanity. Iginla is a perfect example of this
tradition of old. It is always a moment of joy and fulfillment for members of
his Champion Royal Assembly and even strangers, the less privileged including
widows, widowers and vulnerable children when he blesses them during his
regular charity scheme.
In his usual manner, during his birthday last year 2018, the
man of God used the opportunity of his birthday which was celebrated on Sunday
27th, May, at his church headquarters in Abuja, to further reach out to the
less-endowed in the society.
The revered man of God, who has penchant for touching the
lives of the needy, gave out gifts running into over N60 million (Sixty million
naira). Bro. Iginla dole out money, houses and scholarships to the aged,
helpless widows, the poor and orphans.
Most of the beneficiaries who belong to Muslim and Christian
faith had tears in their eyes as they were called out for the money and gifts.
They, however, could not stop praying for Bro. Joshua Iginla. The televangelist
revealed that being a Muslim did not mean they were evil and could not be
assisted, hence, the reason they were located during the church outreach
programme. The man of God revealed that he did not know them but the church met
them during its evangelism.
Bro. Iginla, during the service revealed that he had the
resources to acquire a private jet but unlike other men of God, he decided to
use it to assist the needy in the society, as that was the number one mandate
God gave to him.
An aged couple, Mr. and Mrs. Dabby Shakari, married for over
80 years, who were part of the beneficiaries said they had been living in
abject poverty and were dejected. Life to them had been a twinkle and at a
point, hopelessness seemed to have set in because of their continuous
suffering. Their condition made them to wonder how life treated them with so
much cruelty. At the occasion, the man of God instantly blessed them with
a cash of N1 million and promised to build and furnish a befitting house for
them within the next two months. Meanwhile, he has already concluded
arrangement to get a decent accommodation for them immediately while the house
is being built. What’s more, the man of God with a large heart also placed them
on a salary for life while promising to change their wardrobe.
Another 20 widows got a lifeline of N200,000 each to help
them get their lives back on track. One of the widows, Mrs. Hadiza Audu with
three children lost her husband on 19th of February 2017 and this has made
things difficult for her. Due to perpetual suffering, she lost one of her kids
because there was no money to provide food for them. She had to sell corn drink
locally known as “Brukutu” just to provide food and attend to their needs.
Others who went home happy included twenty physically challenged
individuals who were blessed N150,000 through the benevolence of Bro Joshua asa
well as two orphans, 19-year-old Nancy and Mary Disi who were given hope again
during the service and blessed with N300,000 each. Mary who lives in Nasarawa
State lost her parents in 2012 while Nancy lost hers at a very tender age of
five. Both had hitherto struggled to eat, falling victims along the line to bad
elements who took advantage of them. They sadly had earlier dropped out of
school due to lack of funds. They were given scholarships by the man of God and
a decent accommodation.
A widow also left the Sunday service in smiles after
announcing some gestures which restored sunshine on her face.
Mrs. Grace Danladi, the widow who lives in Nasarawa State
with her five kids, having lost her husband, Mr. Sani Danladi to a chronic
disease six years ago, got N1 million and a plot of land in the City of Wonders
from the man of God. A three-bedroom flat apartment was to be built and
furnished for her. The church met her and her children through its outreach. At
the time her husband died, her last child was one month old and since the
demise of her husband, she has been finding it difficult to finance the
children’s needs through school and also feed them. She washes clothes as a
vocation and earns a paltry N3,000 from this every month. Her five children
also attracted the sympathy from the man of God who placed them scholarship up
to the university level.
A helpless widow who attended the Service of Stars at the
Champions City of Wonders was also blessedwith a cash gift of N200,000. The man
of God also announced scholarship award to four of the widow’s six children for
life.
The turnaround came for the woman and her family members at
the church service which held at its headquarters on Sunday, 8th of April 2018.
Having lost her husband five years back, the woman had been catering for
herself and her six children without help from anywhere. She neither had a job
nor any means of taking care of them, to an extent that she would be
contemplating suicide.
However, help came unexpectedly when Bro Joshua Iginla, who
has penchant for touching lives, located her through prophecy during the
service and offered her what could pass as a lifeline.
After she lost her husband, there were lots of unfulfilled
promises from family, friends and sympathizers which left her helpless and
wretched.
Her eldest child had completed his education but could not
go further due to lack of funds while two of his siblings had to take refuge
with her friends in an effort to ease the burden on her. In fact, it has been
from affliction to depression ever since.
During the Moment of Prophecy, when the man of God located
her, she narrated her ordeal as revealed to him by God through prophecy and
explained how her husband had passed on leaving six children with her. The
revered man of God prayed for her, terminating the spirit of premature deaths
in the family.
A little kindness goes a long way, but this was more than
the widow had bargained for. Her children would return to school without
worries of paying their tuition.

Bro Joshua Iginla has been fulfilling his kingdom mandate of
supporting the needy and touching. Year after year, he spends millions of naira
to provide for the needy across the country.
During his birthday celebration in 2017, the pastor with a
large heart had showered over N23 million on over 100 widows who are members of
his church to alleviate their suffering. As he always says, he is devoted to
empowering the vulnerable particularly the widows, orphans and the less
privileged in the society without minding their religion, tribe or sectional
inclination.
Call EFCC to order, Nigeria is not a lawless country – Yahaya Bello Media Office
Advertisment
About 9:30 am today, the 17th day of April 2024, persons who described themselves as officers of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) arrived the Wuse Zone 4 Residence of His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello to effect his arrest.
This is despite a subsisting Order of injunction granted on 9th February 2024 by the High Court of Justice, Lokoja Division in Suit No. HCL/68M/2024 between Alhaji Yahaya Bello v. Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, restraining the Commission either by itself or its agents from harassing, arresting, detaining or prosecuting Alhaji Yahaya Bello, pending the hearing and determination of the substantive fundamental rights enforcement action.
Advertisment
The EFCC was duly served with that Order on 12th February 2024 and on 26th February 2024; the EFCC filed an Appeal (Appeal No.: CA/ABJ/CV/175/2024: Economic and Financial Crimes Commission v. Alhaji Yahaya Bello) against the said Order to the Court of Appeal Abuja division. The Appeal was accompanied by a Motion for Stay of Execution of the Order of the High Court which the Court of Appeal adjourned for hearing till the 22nd day of April 2024.
Furthermore, Judgment in the substantive case between Alhaji Yahaya Bello and the EFCC is to be delivered at 12 Noon today in Lokoja.
Contrary to all of the above, the EFCC has now laid siege to the home of H.E Yahaya Bello seeking to arrest him in contravention of the extant orders!

It is a surprise that an agency led by a lawyer could flagrantly disobey a subsisting court order by taking actions contrary to the reliefs granted.
We are aware of the total commitment of the current administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to the rule of law and can say categorically that the leadership of the EFCC might have offered the agency on a platter of gold to desperate politicians to convert to their score settling tool without minding the effect on its integrity and the image of Nigeria as regards the rule of law.
A situation where law enforcers disregard the rule of law is a definite recipe for anarchy, which will adversely affect every aspect of the nation’s economy.
Nigerians have perceived the desperation of the anti-graft agency to embarrass and harass the former Governor by all means through spurious allegations, especially the latest one dating back to September 2015, way before he assumed office.
We are aware that there are clandestine moves to correct the error, but with even more questionable allegations, which would embarrass the Commission and Nigeria more than the initial one.
It is unfortunate that an agency that is supposed to enforce the law is now the first culprit with respect to disobedience of court orders.
This is a big dent on the fight against corruption. He who comes to equity must come with clean hands.
We call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to call the EFCC to order in the interest of legal sanity.
PRESIDENT TINUBU’S APPOINTEES FROM THE NORTH MUST TAKE A STAND
Following my position on the recent attack on the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by a spokesman of the Northern Elders Forum, it has come to my attention that Dr. Hakeem Baba-Ahmed who once served as the Spokesperson of the group and currently a Special Adviser on Political Matters in the Presidency took to his page on it to express a different position.
Dr. Baba-Ahmed declared that my stand against the unjust attack against the new administration of President Tinubu that is working very hard to reposition our country for better as ‘ill-advised’. He suggested I could have done a better job in my defence of the administration where I have the rare honour to serve as a Minister.
Advertisment
Dr. Baba-Ahmed’s relationship and or affinity with Northern Elders’ Forum is well-known. The fact now is that he is an appointee of the administration as Special Adviser. Any committed official of the administration has a duty to work for the success of the government he is a part of, protect and defend the government against unjust and undue attack from those who hide under ethnic and other primordial interests to heat up the polity.
It is more important to state that every appointee of President Tinubu including Dr. Baba-Ahmed owe the government a duty to promote and advance the good work and commendable efforts of the government across all sectors.
As appointees of the government from the North, we must all take a stand, be unequivocal in our support and work for the success of the administration we are serving. This is not the time to dither and waiver. We must stand up to be counted for the government or take our exit.
