…visits families of deceased
Ogun State Governor Prince Dapo Abiodun has described the former Military Governor of Ondo State, late Major General Ekundayo Opaleye, as a humble and intelligent officer who served his country and humanity diligently while alive.
Governor Abiodun, who made this assertion when he paid a condolence visit to the family of the late General at their Ibara GRA resident in Abeokuta, said Ogun State has lost one of its illustrious sons who dedicated his life to nation building and served as a great mentor to the young ones.
“Major General Ekundayo Opaleye served his country, humanity in several capacities, particularly as a top ranking officer of the Nigerian Army.
“He served with absolute integrity.. General indeed lived a life of impact, a life of service, dedication, and contribution.
“General Opaleye was always ready to share his experiences in life and in leadership. He always answers our call whenever we invite him for any event, and so I was shocked when I heard of his death,” he said.
Governor Abiodun observed that the passage of the top military officer who died at the age of 77, is a reminder that life is transient hence the need for those still alive to be impactful so as to be remembered for good after their demise.
While praying for the repose of the soul of the departed and for God to give those he left behind the fortitude to bear the irreplaceable loss, the governor said the state government would set up a Committee that would liaise with the family to give the late military officer a befitting burial.
Meanwhile, Governor Abiodun also described the late former Minister of Finance, Chief Onaolapo Soleye, as a trailblazer, who also contributed immensely to nation-building.
Abiodun stated this when he paid a condolence visit to the family of the deceased at Ibara GRA, Abeokuta. He noted that Chief Soleye as a Minister of Finance,during the military regime of General Muhammadu Buhari,
blaze the trail by displaying intellectual capacity that was never witnessed in the Ministry.
As a worthy man remembered by his legacies, Governor Abiodun opined that the late former minister lived an accomplished life and left a foot print in the sand of time, saying he was an industrious and prominent son who made the Ogun State proud in all his public endeavours.
“He came, saw and conquered. He lived an impactful life with all sense of humility and fear of God. He was a good husband to his wife, a dotting father to the children. He lived a good life, and we are proud of him,” the governor said.
In their separate remarks on behalf of their families, the son of General Opaleye, Mr Kunle Opaleye, appreciated their late father for inculcating sense of humility on his children, while Pastor Lamide Soleye, appreciated the Governor for standing by their families at these trying times, saying they would cooperate with the sate government on the burial plans of their father.

The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, on Tuesday led the management team, alongside officers and personnel of the Nigeria Police Force, in a nationwide walkathon to commemorate the 2026 National Police Day.

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.
