*ABIODUN FALEKE: WHY GOOD MEN ARE BORN ON CHRISTMAS DAY*

By Philip Agbese 

The man Rt. Hon. Chief Abiodun Faleke is as unique as his name, literally translated Ìbí Ìdùnwòsì Àti Ìpè Àṣe, Abiodun, meaning, the birth of festivity, or born on a day of celebration, has been enhancing and fostering the unique role of attracting joy, and prosperity to others.

Born on December 25, he has spent his life embodying the spirit of that sacred day—bringing hope, compassion, and prosperity to those around him. His existence seems almost predestined to reflect the themes of renewal, generosity, and communal harmony that Christmas represents.

In a world where genuine leaders are often scarce, individuals like Faleke stand out as exceptionally rare. His character, shaped by his name, birth date, and lived values, has made him a trusted figure in Nigerian politics and society. As Chairman of the House Committee on Finance and a respected member of the House of Representatives, he carries forward the cherished Yoruba ideals of integrity, service, and collective well-being.

Faleke’s journey reflects a deep commitment to national progress. A loyal stalwart of the All Progressives Congress (APC), he has consistently placed public duty above personal gain. His political career gained national attention when he served as the deputy governorship candidate to the late Prince Abubakar Audu in Kogi State during the 2015 election. Though circumstances beyond his control prevented him from assuming office after Audu’s passing, Faleke’s grace and resilience during that period earned him widespread admiration. It underscored his dedication to service, even in the face of disappointment.

Hailing from Kogi West but born in Ijebu-Ode, Ogun State, Faleke now represents Ikeja Federal Constituency in Lagos. Over the years, he has built an unbreakable bond with his constituents through consistent, people-centered leadership. His approach is rooted in listening, engaging, and delivering results that improve lives. Whether addressing local needs or contributing to national policy, Faleke demonstrates a rare blend of humility, wisdom, and determination.

Beyond the National Assembly, Faleke’s impact extends through deliberate acts of kindness and strategic empowerment. He has invested in education by providing scholarships, supporting schools, and creating opportunities for young people to thrive. Healthcare access has been another priority, with initiatives that ensure quality medical services reach underserved communities. Economic empowerment programs—ranging from skill acquisition to small business support—have helped many families achieve financial stability.

These efforts cut across ethnic, religious, and gender lines, reflecting his belief in inclusive development.

His leadership philosophy aligns closely with the African concept of Ubuntu: “I am because we are.” This principle guides his actions, emphasizing shared progress over individual ambition. Faleke is known for his integrity in public life, transparency in decision-making, and accountability to those he serves. He treats his word as a bond, approaches challenges with compassion, and extends kindness even to those who disagree with him.

As Chairman of the House Committee on Finance, Faleke plays a pivotal role in shaping Nigeria’s economic direction. He advocates for prudent budgeting, efficient taxation, and responsible management of public funds. His work promotes transparency in government spending, ensuring resources benefit ordinary citizens. By focusing on fiscal discipline and equitable allocation, he helps stabilize the economy and rebuild public confidence in institutions.

In an era of economic challenges, his contributions provide a foundation for sustainable growth and improved living standards across the country. Education remains a cornerstone of Faleke’s vision for Nigeria. He views it as the key to unlocking potential and driving societal progress. Through scholarships, infrastructure support, and mentorship programs, he empowers youth to overcome barriers and pursue their dreams. These investments create lasting change, equipping the next generation with the tools to lead and innovate.

Faleke’s advocacy extends to gender equity. He actively supports women’s participation in governance, recognizing their vital role in nation-building. His empowerment initiatives often prioritize women, providing training, funding, and platforms for leadership. This commitment to inclusivity mirrors the Christmas message of unity and shared humanity.

Despite facing political hurdles, criticism, and opposition throughout his career, Faleke has remained steadfast. His ability to rise above adversity highlights his inner strength and unwavering focus on what matters most. This resilience inspires many, showing that principled leadership requires courage and perseverance.

Looking ahead, Faleke continues to champion economic development, social justice, and opportunity for all Nigerians. His policies and programs reflect a deep desire to create a fairer, more prosperous society. The generosity and compassion he displays—qualities often associated with the Christmas season—define his public and private life.

Celebrating Rt. Hon. Chief Abiodun Faleke is more than marking a birthday. It is an opportunity to honor a man who has lived out the true meaning of service. His patriotism, fiscal prudence, and dedication to inclusivity have left a lasting mark on Nigeria.

Like the enduring light of Christmas, Faleke’s legacy shines through his actions, offering hope and renewal to his constituents and the nation. Born on a day of joy and festivity, he has become a living example of what leadership can achieve when guided by purpose and compassion.

His story reminds us that good men are indeed born on Christmas Day—not by chance, but by design. They arrive to spread light, foster unity, and build a better tomorrow. Rt. Hon. Chief Abiodun Faleke is one such man, and his contributions will continue to inspire generations long after the holiday lights have faded.

My Daughter Is Under a Spell,’ Says Joy Igene’s Mother — The Truth Behind the Judas Allegations

For those coming to this story for the first time, here is a full, compiled account based on my extensive investigations, interviews, and evidence gathered. I swear on my honor and all I hold sacred that every detail here is the truth.

THE BACKGROUND: JOY’S ACTUAL ROLE & HISTORY

Joy Igene Mustapha initially worked at Prayer City with Deborah Amaka, sharing a room on instruction from the church leadership. Due to her promiscuity, she was moved back to the headquarters and assigned to the SPECIAL DUTY OFFICE—a department that handles critical investigations and assigned tasks (like uncovering financial misappropriation by individuals such as Sunday Baruwa Olowoyeye). In this office, she worked under Emmanuel Aro, Samuel Omotola, Bukky, and others. Her duties included supervising some teenage orchestra members, through whom all support was channeled.

She was never a confidential secretary to Dr. D.K. Olukoya. The General Overseer’s office is an open, busy protocol-driven environment, typically with at least 8 pastors present, and operates like a hospital with people waiting from as early as 5:30 AM. There are no secret rooms. Dr. Olukoya’s office is publicly accessible and constantly attended to by staff and visitors seeking prayers and help. (For a perfect description, see Badmus Olalekan’s post: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17dVVqsYcc/)

Joy’s claim that Dr. Olukoya asked if she was a virgin is not only absurd but inconsistent with her known character and the setting of the office. She was suspended and later dismissed for promiscuity. So, who will ask such a question from a public dog? The head of the GO’s office is Pastor Taiwo and he supervises everything. She should provide an appointment letter if truly she is the confidential secretary as claimed.

The real question is why she was not dismissed earlier, given her lifestyle. Dr. Olukoya is known for giving people multiple chances, believing they can change. His weakness, if it can be called that, is his deep compassion for people, especially the less privileged or someone he doesn’t want the devil to harvest.

INTERVIEWS WITH FAMILY & ASSOCIATES: A PATTERN OF INGRATITUDE & MANIPULATION

My investigation led me to speak directly with Joy’s mother, Mrs. Bukola Mustapha (0705997****), a strong MFM member. She was bitter and in distress, stating that her daughter had been “manipulated and placed under a spell” by evil people.

I also interviewed Mrs. Glory Igene (0808447****), her uncle’s wife, whose children were sponsored through university by Dr. Olukoya. They are currently seeking his help for their Master’s degrees. This fact underscores the depth of ingratitude: Joy’s own siblings are direct beneficiaries of the man she now slanders.

Joy showed little interest in education. Deborah Amaka also confirmed this in a previous video (https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Br78Wrdft/). Joy only pursued a degree because Emmanuel Aro said he wouldn’t marry her without one (https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16mFzcwNc6/). Dr. Olukoya sponsors anyone around him willing to go to school—Joy simply was not interested.

THE CORE EVIDENCE: BEGGARY, UNREQUITED REQUESTS & BETRAYAL

The heart of the matter lies in Joy’s own communication records. For years, she sent Dr. Olukoya repeated messages pleading for financial assistance—for rent, business, family emergencies—often including her account details. There was no formal relationship or obligation between them, and no promises were made. Dr. Olukoya did not solicit these messages; they were unilateral appeals from Joy. The door of mercy was shut against Joy after she had been pardoned severally. By 2021, she started trying to come back by sending messages to this great man but received no response.

On the 27th of October 2021, Joy wrote: “Good day sir, pls can you help me with just 800k. Thank you sir. I want to use it for my rent. GTBank: MUSTAPHA AMINAT IGENE JOY ACC NO: 017394”. In November 2021, she sent another message saying: “Instead of me to do anything bad for money ,I prefer to ask of you. I prefer to swallow my pride and ask you.”

As recently as August this year, Joy still sent messages to “this baba” and got no answer. By September, she got in touch with Barrister Davidson Adejumo, the church lawyer and a close friend, pleading with him to help her out because Dr. Olukoya wasn’t responding. She stated she would likely go to his office, but Davidson advised her not to go as it would be embarrassing for her if the protocols sent her back.

When these pleas did not yield the desired response, Joy’s allegiance shifted. Prior to this, She invested in a Ponzi scheme. The first time, she received both her capital and profit, after which she reinvested. Eventually, the company collapsed. Joy then reported the matter to the General Overseer, alleging that Brother Samson had duped her. However, after investigation, the allegation was found to be untrue. She is a smooth liar who will do anything to get money.

I interviewed Barrister Davidson Adejumo. He wept, revealing Joy’s desperate financial situation—unpaid contracts in Oshogbo—and described her as someone who “would do anything for money and eventually sell you out.” Immediately after Davidson saw Joy’s video on Funke Ashekun’s platform, he sent her a message which reads: “I AM JUST SEEING THIS, JESUS CHRIST!! I needed to hear from you that this is truly coming from you and not that I am crying.” This was sent with emojis. And he asked, “babe why?” Joy never responded because of a guilty conscience.

A RECENT FRAUDULENT SCHEME: THE CASE OF STEVEN IN CANADA

Further investigation reveals that Joy’s pattern of deceit extends beyond this matter. Just a few weeks after she began peddling these lies, she was in contact with a man in Canada. In a calculated move to extort money, she falsely claimed to have suffered a broken leg—meanwhile, this accident was in 2023, yet she used it to scam in 2025 (https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSPTvY5fg/). She succeeded in duping the innocent man of his funds. This recent act confirms her established character as a manipulator who fabricates crises for financial gain, and underscores why her current allegations must be viewed with extreme skepticism.

Most damning is a voice note from July 15, 2025, where Joy sweetly celebrates the birthdays of Dr. and Mrs. Olukoya, praying for them and expressing gratitude. Weeks later, she was parroting Funke Ashekun’s lies online. This is the height of hypocrisy.

THE JUDAS SYNDICATE: FUNKE ASHEKUN’S MINISTRY OF BETRAYAL

Funke Ashekun operates as a modern-day Caiaphas (Matthew 26:3-4), running a digital coven that recruits the disgruntled and desperate. Her goal is to bring down God’s anointed through subtle lies packaged as concern. Funke Ashekun is a failure and has a very short time, doing anything and everything to hang on. As Revelation 12:12 states: “Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” This is why Funke is running helter-skelter to recruit people.

Joy Igene became her perfect recruit—a profile matching Judas Iscariot (Matthew 26:14-15). In her financial desperation, she went to the “chief priest” Ashekun and effectively asked, “What will you give me?” in exchange for betrayal. Funke Ashekun, like a scavenger, goes into people’s inboxes and lures them with money to come say what is not true. Her early recruits include Richard Ayotunde, who was helped with his house rent less than two months into his suspension; Wale Akpeji, who was given $6100 for school fees and had a car ( for Uber) bought for him that he later sold; and Yewande Roberts, who requested to be sent abroad and claimed her glory( useless glory that fetched her no progress without MFM) was used when it didn’t happen. Now, it’s Joy.

All these individuals have one thing in common: greed and entitlement.

Ashekun’s syndicate seeks false witnesses (Matthew 26:59-60). Another member, Bolu, by her own admission has never met Dr. Olukoya, yet she tags him with evil allegations—the very definition of reckless, baseless false witness.

THE BIBLICAL WARNING & PROPHETIC DECLARATION

The trajectory of such betrayal is biblically prescribed. Like Judas, when the temporary “silver” (YouTube relevance and funds) fades, remorse and ruin follow (Matthew 27:5; Acts 1:18). The money becomes a “cankerworm” in their destiny (Habakkuk 2:9-11).

Charity Okorie is another person who knows Joy too well and she’s one of the beneficiaries of Dr. Olukoya’s kindness. You can check her page (https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16PzLDSLQg/). Funke Ashekun is already suffering from ailments as a result of her actions against MFM/Dr. Olukoya.

MY FINAL CHALLENGE AND WARNING:

To the public: Mark those who cause divisions and avoid them (Romans 16:17-18). These are spiritual vampires driven by their own bellies. Joy’s exploitation of Steven in Canada is a clear warning to all.

The question I want to ask all of them, including Funke Ashekun, is this: Has your father done 2% of what Dr. Daniel Olukoya has done for you? If you are very sure, take your firstborn and swear with him/her. And for you Joy, you do not have any child, come out and swear with your womb that you are saying the truth.

· To Joy Igene: Your mother and family weep for you. Your siblings are funded by the man you malign. Your fraudulent act against Steven in Canada is a testament to your character. REPENT. Delete the lies. The silver is not worth your soul.

· To Bolu: You who have never met him yet bear false witness—FEAR GOD. You will account for every idle word (Matthew 12:36).

· To Funke Ashekun (Caiaphas): Your council will scatter. “The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.” (Psalm 37:13).

I challenge Joy and Funke: if they believe their lies, let them swear on the lives and futures of their own children and let Joy swear with her womb publicly since she hasn’t had any child

The truth of the matter is FUNKE ASHEKUN is dying silently with an ailment which she has refused to share with these cohorts. She feeds them with lies . She keep filing for different motion in US because it is finished for her both physically and spiritually.

Dr. Olukoya, who serves in silence and bears burdens, remains unmoved. He is attacked because he rescues souls from darkness.

This is my full report. The evidence—chats, voice notes, eyewitness accounts, and documented fraud—speaks for itself. The Word of God validates the outcome.

My challenge to Joy Igene, do a screen record of your chat with Dr Olukoya and publish to the world and make yourself available for forensic analysis. I promise to sponsor the project 100%.

Dr. Daniel Olukoya, sir,

I know you are not bothered, and anyone around you knows that when you see things like this, you simply laugh and say the devil will always fight back because of how God is using you to deliver people from his hands. But sometimes, as a human being, you might reflect on them occasionally.

I say this to you, sir: be strong for us and for the hundreds of thousands—indeed, millions—who look up to you. Don’t stop helping because of these charlatans. After all, Demas forsook Paul (2 Timothy 4:10).

Those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. John 17:12 (KJV)

I, Samuel Kayode Jolaosho, have spoken. Let the world see the rot and heed the warning.
