Buratai spoke on Saturday, October 28th, 2023  while presenting the first convocation lecture at the Nigerian Army University, Biu (NAUB), Borno State.

He called on stakeholders and authorities at the federal and state levels to commence the construction and rehabilitation of roads for accessibility to rural and ungoverned spaces.

Besides accessibility to rural areas, he added that the development of rural infrastructural projects would attract socio-economic development to stem the tide of insecurity in the country.

The former CoAS noted that most of the infrastructural development projects are located in the state capitals, tasking the six state governors in the North East region to look inward and see what they could do to open up their local councils with various facilities.

He noted that infrastructural developments in rural areas could also attract investors to harness the vast agricultural, livestock, and mineral resources in the states and help to curb poverty and unemployment.

"MFM’s Olukoya: ‘Men Who Deflower Women Enter Spiritual Bondage Without Knowing’

MFM’s Dr. Olukoya Warns Against Premarital Sex, Citing Spiritual Consequences

The General Overseer of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries (MFM), Dr. Daniel Olukoya, has sparked discussions after emphasizing the spiritual consequences of premarital sex, particularly for men who deflower women.

In a recent sermon, Dr. Olukoya stated that when a man takes a woman’s virginity, a spiritual covenant is formed between them. According to him, this connection can lead to serious repercussions, including bondage and generational consequences if not broken.

He further warned that such relationships could transfer demonic influences, affecting future partners and causing unseen spiritual turmoil.

“If you’re a man and you have disvirgined somebody or more than one lady, don’t be surprised if your life is upside down,” he cautioned. “Because when you disvirgin a woman, you wet your male organ with the blood from that woman. So you have formed a covenant with that woman. To now say you did not marry the person is a serious problem you have caused for yourself. It will go from generation to generation unless you break it.”

Dr. Olukoya also stressed the dangers of unknowingly engaging with spiritually afflicted individuals, stating that if the woman is under demonic influence, the man also inherits those spiritual ties. “When you move over to another woman, the extra luggage you collected from that demonic girl, you transfer it to another girl that has no demon, that one too will collect,” he explained.

His statement has generated widespread reactions, with some supporting his stance as a warning against casual relationships, while others argue that the message may instill fear rather than promote responsible choices.

Dr. Olukoya, known for his strong teachings on purity and spiritual warfare, has consistently preached against premarital sex, describing it as a doorway to spiritual problems. His latest remarks have once again reinforced his long-standing position, urging individuals to take their spiritual lives seriously.

Tope Alabi’s Revelation on Early Career Sparks Online Debate

Renowned Nigerian gospel singer Tope Alabi has ignited controversy online after opening up about her early days in the music industry, revealing the real reason she refrained from wearing earrings, jewelry, and wigs at the beginning of her career.

In a now-viral video, Alabi disclosed that her decision was not driven by divine instruction but rather by financial constraints. She clarified that God never instructed her to avoid wearing jewelry or wigs, debunking long-held assumptions about her modest appearance being a spiritual choice.

According to her, she simply could not afford quality earrings, chains, wigs, or other accessories when she started her career. However, many people misinterpreted her look as a religious stance rather than a financial reality.

The gospel singer further explained that her choice of attire is often dictated by the nature of her performances.

“God has never told me not to wear earrings, chains, or wigs. I’m a theater practitioner to the core, so I understand what fits each song. If a song does not require me to wear earrings, I won’t use them in the video. In the past, people assumed I avoided earrings for religious reasons, but the truth is, I simply could not afford them at the time,” she stated.

Alabi’s statement has since triggered heated discussions online, especially among fans who recall instances when she seemingly sang against wearing jewelry and wigs.
