Apostle Suleman To Singles: Investigate Before Going Into Relationship To Avoid ‘It Is Well’
Apostle Suleman To Singles:
Investigate Before Going Into Relationship To Avoid ‘It Is Well’
For a single lady seeking a relationship, the key is to investigate before fully committing to it. This involves understanding oneself, the other person, and the potential dynamics of the relationship to ensure a healthy and compatible match, counsels servant of God and General Overseer of the Omega Fire Ministries (OFM) worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman.
The revered Christian leader says it is crucial to assess the compatibility before making a serious commitment.
“Be careful of uninvestigated relationships,” Suleman warns. “Be careful of red flags. Somebody says I like you and both of you just started dating. Before you know it, it develops; you rush in and rush out. Investigate. There are some questions you need to ask.”
Apostle Suleman counsels that singles seeking life partnership must focus on self-love, personal growth, and building strong foundations in advance. This, he suggests, includes understanding self needs, values, and desires. “Embrace your individuality, spend time getting to know yourself, and exploring your passions. Anybody you try to impress you lose. Be yourself. Be yourself and be happy. A man has been married, he has got kids and the woman passed away and he wishes to remarry. Under the Scripture, you are very free to marry him if you like him. He’s a widower. But investigate what killed his wife, not what he told you about her fate. Go behind him and investigate.”
Referencing the relationships of olden days, Apostle Suleman posits that marriages in the past often lasted longer due to factors like strong family values and a greater emphasis on commitment. Divorce was less common, he says, because potential couples sought to know each other’s families’ stories before committing themselves.
“Are you aware that our parents’ marriages lasted longer? Do you know why the marriages lasted? It is because in those days, once you brought a lady home to your parents, they would go and investigate her family. But many of you are in a relationship, planning for marriage but you do not know the parents. All you do is just say this is my mother, this is my father. Whether they rented them you’re not aware. And you take it like that. You don’t understand how many of them are married, how many of them still have their marriages standing. You don’t investigate what rules in the family, what reigns in the family, what is common in the family. You have to investigate.”
Speaking from the Scripture, Judges 14; from Verse 5, the cleric says when Samson was ready to get married, his parents went to the family of the spouse. Also, in Genesis 24; 13, 14, 15; he says “when Abraham’s servant met Rebecca, he asked her ‘whose daughter are you?’ They said bring him home. And when he got to their house, she began to ask questions from everyone; she said ‘this person who is he? Please tell me about their family’. So investigate because once you’ve entered, it is for life. When there’s a crisis in your marriage they will never tell you to leave, they will only tell you to pray. Whether he breaks your leg, pray. He’s not giving you food, pray. He has another lady that he’s going out with, pray. He’s not taking care of the children, pray. To avoid ‘pray’, this is the time to make a decision.”
Concluding, Apostle Suleman stated that, “as a man, to avoid the complications of your woman, investigate in order to avoid ‘hmm it is well’. “There are two types of ‘it is well’. There’s ‘it is well’ and there’s ‘hmm it is well’. Citing an encounter, the seasoned preacher spoke of a young man who approached him and said that his wife told him that ‘it is well’ and he didn’t understand and he was scared. The man of God said he asked the man which of the ‘it is well’ did the wife say to him and he said it was ‘hmm it is well’. “I told him instantly that there was a problem! So, if it is just ‘it is well’, there’s no problem. But if it’s ‘hmm it is well’, just start begging, don’t say any other thing.
Banwo Questions Bwala’s Credibility After Al Jazeera Interview
Public commentator, Dr. Ope Banwo, has criticised Daniel Bwala, the Presidential Spokesperson on Policy Communication for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, following a contentious interview on Al Jazeera, describing the appearance as damaging to the credibility of Nigeria’s public communication.
Bwala had appeared on a programme hosted by journalist Mehdi Hasan, where he faced a series of questions about past statements attributed to him. During the exchange, Hasan presented video clips of previous remarks by the government spokesman and asked him to reconcile them with his responses during the interview.
The exchange, which has since circulated widely online, drew attention after Bwala appeared to dispute statements that were subsequently played back during the programme.
Reacting to the development, Banwo said the episode reflected poorly on Nigeria’s representation on international media platforms.
According to him, the availability of digital records and online archives means public officials must be prepared to defend their past statements whenever they appear on global television.
“In the era of instant fact-checking, any public figure going on international television must assume that every previous statement can be easily retrieved,” Banwo said.
He added that the controversy surrounding the interview was particularly troubling because the contradictions presented during the programme were supported with video evidence.
Banwo noted that while political interviews can be confrontational, government representatives should expect tough questioning when appearing before international audiences.
The founder of Naija Lives Matters also expressed concern over Bwala’s reaction during the interview, especially his claim that he was not informed he would be required to defend his personal record.
“A government spokesman should never be surprised by questions about his own public statements,” Banwo said.
During the programme, Bwala also responded to criticism of Nigeria’s governance challenges by arguing that similar problems exist in other parts of the world.
However, Banwo argued that such comparisons do not address the specific issues raised about Nigeria.
According to him, the episode should serve as a reminder of the importance of preparation and credibility when Nigerian officials appear before international media platforms.
The interview has continued to generate reactions across social media and political commentary circles, with observers debating both the conduct of the interview and the implications for Nigeria’s global image.

Ajadi Visits Ibadan Chief Imam, Receives Blessings
The leading gubernatorial aspirant in Oyo State on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, on Wednesday paid a courtesy visit to the Grand Chief Imam of Ibadanland, Sheikh Imam Abdul Ganiy Abubakir Agbotomokekere, at his Oja’ba residence in Ibadan, where discussions centred on leadership, integrity, and the role of prayers in governance.
Ajadi, who described the revered Islamic cleric as a spiritual pillar in Oyo State, said his visit was to seek prayers and wise counsel as he continues consultations ahead of the 2027 governorship race.
While addressing the Chief Imam, Ajadi commended his consistent prayers for Ibadanland, Oyo State and Nigeria, noting that religious leaders remain critical stakeholders in nation building.
“I have come to seek your prayers and spiritual blessings because of your important role in promoting peace, unity and moral guidance in our society,” Ajadi said.
“I also want to appreciate your continuous prayers for the progress of Ibadanland, Oyo State and Nigeria as a whole. My prayer is that Almighty Allah will continue to grant you sound health and long life to witness many more Ramadan seasons on earth.”
Speaking further, the PDP gubernatorial aspirant emphasised the need for leadership driven by compassion, fairness and accountability, stressing that his political aspiration is rooted in service to the people.
“My ambition is not just about occupying an office but about serving the people with sincerity and fear of God. We must continue to encourage politics that will bring development and improve the welfare of our people,” he added.
While speaking with journalists after the visit, Ajadi also assured the people of Oyo State and Nigerians at large that the internal crisis and political tensions within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have been brought under control by the grace of God. He expressed optimism that the party would emerge victorious in all elective positions in the 2027 general elections.
In his response, Sheikh Agbotomokekere advised the governorship hopeful to remain focused on the principles of good governance, warning against corrupt practices often associated with politics.
The respected Islamic scholar noted that while politics is practised differently by individuals, only leaders with integrity and fear of God can truly deliver the dividends of democracy.
“Politics is practised by different kinds of people. Some play politics in a corrupt way, while others practise it with sincerity. My prayer is that you will be among those who will practise democracy in the right way if you become governor,” the Chief Imam said.
He reminded the aspirant that human ambition can only be fulfilled by divine approval, stressing that ultimate power belongs to God.
“Whoever is seeking a position should know that only Allah can make such an ambition come true. Whether a person becomes famous or remains unknown is also by the will of Allah,” he said.
Offering prayers for the politician, the cleric added: “Many people may be struggling for a position meant for one person, and it is only God who knows the rightful person. I pray that Almighty Allah will make you the chosen one among all the contenders.”
Using a football analogy to further illustrate his point, the cleric advised Ajadi to be wary of political distractions and misleading influences.
“On the football field, sometimes spectators believe they understand the game more than the players themselves. I pray that you will not be misled by so-called political gurus and that God will guide your steps aright,” he said.
Sheikh Agbotomokekere, the 18th Chief Imam of Ibadanland, is widely respected across South-Western Nigeria for his scholarship, spiritual leadership and advocacy for peaceful coexistence among religious and political groups.
Observers say the visit forms part of Ajadi’s ongoing consultations with key stakeholders, traditional rulers and religious leaders as political activities gradually gather momentum ahead of the next electoral cycle in Oyo State.
The cleric offered special prayers for peace in Oyo State, successful leadership, and continued unity among the people despite political and religious differences.
