Published

One of the leading age-groups in Ijebuland otherwise known as Regberegbe, Egbe Jagunmolu Fehintande Okunrin Akile Ijebu, few days back joined other well meaning Nigerians to extend their widows mite to the vulnerable and the aged in the society to cushion the effects of the coronavirus lockdown ordered by federal government.

The donation of the food items which includes bags of rice, beans, vegetable oil, noodles, bags of salt and sugar was also extended to different communities in Ijebuland.

In a statement by the group’s image maker, Mr Kayode Badejo, he said the relief materials were gifts to residents to support the fight against the deadly virus known as COVID-19.

Badejo added that the gesture was part of the group’s corporate social responsibilities to the society.

It could be recalled that the group, few years back, also performed free eye surgeries on patients in some communities including Ijebu Imushin in Ijebu East local government area of the state.

The disease, which has affected nearly 18 million people globally, according to World Health Organisation data, is said to be on the rise in Nigeria, especially in rural areas where sensitisation campaign is low.

The group added that it will continue to make itself available for communal efforts towards making the society more habitable for the people.

Meanwhile, speaking in a telephone interview on Friday, May 1, 2020, the Giwa of the group who doubles as Olofin Ajaye of Orugbo Iddo Kingdom, Oba Adewale Abdul said the Regberegbe will not rest on his hoax to give meaningful assistance to the needy and indigent students in their respective communities.

Oba Abdul disclosed that the group had in recent times stepped up its corporate responsibility with the provision of medical support, educational and job opportunities as well as assisting traders with soft loans.

In his own words, the traditional ruler said, “I can tell you for free that my leadership has been an outstanding one. Despite our challenges, my distinguished members have proven to be team players which has earned us the exalted position we are today, the Kabiyesi added.

“It could be recalled that we were officially recognised by the Awujale in 2001, we have since then given back to the society that produced us. Ours is not about merry making alone, we have invested our time and money in making sure the youths in our society are better off in years to come, Oba Abdul concluded.

Dr. Chris Okafor invokes divine retribution upon individuals blackmailing the Grace Nation church

Dr. Chris Okafor invokes divine retribution upon individuals blackmailing the Grace Nation church

… Affirming God’s omnipotence to unveil malicious schemes.

To be frank, the ability of Doris Ogala and her associates to withstand the arduous challenges set by Senior Pastor Dr. Chris Okafor of Grace Nation Global at the culmination of the Harvest of Babies 2026 conference, the church’s flagship event, continues to elude me.

It’s advisable not to offend a powerful spiritual leader like Prophet Chris Okafor to avoid potential consequences, as seen in the situation with Doris Ogala, who was rebuked by the prophet; can she rectify the situation through confession?

Insiders close to the man of God claim that despite relentless online bullying and blackmailing, the Generational Prophet remains resolute, stating that God’s power has been evident throughout the commission’s existence. The reason for this wonderful statement is found in the scriptures, “Upon this rock I shall build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail.” The more falsehoods are spread about the church and its leader, the more God elevates the church and propels him to greater heights, he asserted. He emphasized that blessings and fruitfulness are antidotes to curses, noting that God continues to bestow blessings upon the church, including miracles and the gift of children, which is one reason for the grand finale of the annual family liberation program, The Harvest of Babies.

However, the man of God issued a curse on each person speaking ill of the church, blackmailing, and uttering all sorts of falsehoods against the church, declaring that if they refused to repent within a few days, the earth would swallow them and their family members, stating that they would be of no use to themselves, their families, or society at large.

The spiritual leader cautions his followers to beware of such individuals including Doris Ogala who may taint their faith, and urges them to treat these persons as emissaries of the devil, avoiding them altogether.

Recall that the 2026 harvest of babies concluded with a remarkable birth of a miracle baby boy to a woman on the third day of the conference, accompanied by the dedication of several other miracle babies, all to the glory of God.
