A distraught wife took to the streets, plastering posters that accuse another woman of having an affair with her husband. The posters, which she pasted on walls, lampposts, and bus stops, bear the bold headline: "Husband Snatcher, Please Leave My Husband Alone."
The woman behind the posters claims that her husband has been entangled in an extramarital affair with a woman she refers to only as "the side chick." The posters include photos of the alleged side chick along with a fervent message urging her to end the relationship.

Why I relocated to US – Pastor Sam Adeyemi
“We prayed fervently, sensing danger. Three hours later, I fell back asleep and had another dream.’’
By Friday Omosola May 26, 2024
The Senior Pastor of Daystar Christian Centre, Sam Adeyemi, has disclosed the rationale behind his relocation to the United States (US).
TIMES reported in 2020 that Mr Adeyemi was among prominent Nigerian clerics who condemned the police for using bullets and tear gas to disperse #EndSARS protesters.
In November 2020, a rights activist, Kenechukwu Okeke, filed a criminal complaint against Mr Adeyemi and 50 persons, including musicians Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage, and Davido, for their roles in
However, the celebrities filed a suit before a magistrate’s court seeking the dismissal of the charges.
In contrast, Mr Okeke filed a countermotion with the Abuja High Court to dismiss their suit.
Yahaya Bello vs EFCC
The lawyer alleged his property was destroyed during the protest and that the defendants who promoted it must be brought to justice.
In January 2021, a High Court in the Federal Capital Territory ordered Magistrate Omolola Akindele to halt the prosecution of Pastor Sam Adeyemi of Daystar Christian Centre, Burna Boy, Davido, Falz, activist Deji Adeyanju and others.
However, the 57-year-old pastor set the record straight in an interview with Channel TV’s Seun Okinbaloye on the ‘Mic podcast’ shared on YouTube Sunday.
He said: “When COVID-19 started, all our children were in the US, so everyone stayed with their families. We stayed with our children. The week services resumed was when EndSARS started, so we were preparing to return to Nigeria. When the EndSARS protests ended in violence, we stayed back a bit. When we were ready to return to Nigeria, a different experience altogether happened.
“My wife had a dream in which she travelled to Nigeria and returned to the US, which was a bad dream. I told her I wouldn’t say I liked this dream. Three days later, I had a dream. We both travelled to Nigeria in my dream, and I was in a big fight. I was being attacked violently and had to ask the Holy Spirit in my heart what to do. He said I should call the name of Jesus Christ. I shouted ‘in the name of Jesus Christ’ in the dream and didn’t realise I shouted out loud in real life.”
The anchor of the ‘Excellent Leadership’ programme, aired on Daystar Network Television and Word Network in the US, recounted how he shouted from the dream and woke up his wife, Pastor Nike.
“My wife woke me up at 2:00 a.m. by hitting me and asking what was going on. We decided to take it seriously, especially considering a dream we had three days earlier.
“We prayed fervently, sensing danger. Three hours later, I fell back asleep and had another dream. We were in Nigeria this time, and I was in a fight,” he added.
Return to Nigeria
Mr Adeyemi revealed that whenever they (him and his wife) set dates and booked flights to return to Nigeria, he would have a bad dream about something terrible happening to him there (Nigeria).
The author of Build Real Wealth: Practical Steps to Regain Financial Stability said he had never experienced two dreams about the same event in one night.
“A few days later, we called family in Nigeria, and one person said, ‘I’m feeling very uncomfortable about you travelling to Nigeria.’ We called another family member who said, ‘I feel uncomfortable about you coming. What is going on?’ We just turned and looked at each other, pondering the situation. Then I said, ‘You know what? I’ve been a Christian for 40 years.’
“At this point, if God is speaking to me, I should have an idea that it is God speaking. Something is going on. I don’t know what it is, but I want to pray more. And at that point, we called a meeting of all the leaders in Daystar Christian Center, the top 120 leaders on Zoom.”
The President of Success Power International noted that he informed the elders of Daystar about the situation, and they agreed to keep the church running.
“They said you’ve never deceived us before. If God asks you to stay, stay as long as He directs. We’ll continue this journey”, Mr Adeyemi stated.
Daystar
The host of the radio and television ‘Success Power’ programme heard and seen in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East said he and his wife stayed in the US after the church leaders’ Zoom meeting.
“Six months, we were still in the US, one year, tearing me apart. I discovered that until COVID-19, I’d been out of Nigeria for eight weeks. To now be away when you had the church with 40,000 ”, he noted.
He added that the experience in the US highlighted Daystar’s strengths, including investments in training and established systems.
“I’m ionate about building systems so the church does not collapse. It is fantastic, and we call it an organisational miracle. It was almost three years before we had the Holy Spirit’s clearance to return to Nigeria.
“But what eventually the Holy Spirit would tell me was that he wanted me to shift my focus from just being the pastor of a local church to that global walk that I had known that I would do. So right now, the focus shift is to do that global walk while we keep Daystar running, leveraging technology.”
Daystar Christian Centre was established on 18 November 1995 to empower individuals to discover, develop, release, and maximise potential in God through the word.
The church has branches across Lagos State, such as Oregun Centre (the main branch), Lekki Centre, Ikorodu Centre, Alimosho Centre, Badagry Centre, and an online church.
Can you point to any place in my article where I said I fully agree with JW? I was only iring their good side.
Is there any place in my reply that I said you agreed with all their teachings?
You highlighted the areas you feel they have done well, within the same area where you felt they have done, I asked that you consider when next you review their good side. There good side,can never be compared with one soul their bad side leads to hell. That's my point.
OnknownSoldier:
I am naturally drawn to things that people generally criticize and most of the time, I do find out that most of these things are not really what people say they are. People would generally hate what they don’t understand and that is the case of the Jehovah’s Witnesses. While growing up, I watched people avoid interacting with them and this made me curious to know about their doctrines.
After studying with the Jehovah’s Witnesses for more than 12 years, I can say that they are widely misunderstood by most people. Do I totally agree with them? No, I do not but I share their perspective in some areas like the subject of the Trinity and Tithing. I do not actively study with the Jehovah’s Witnesses anymore but here are areas they have my respect.
First, is evangelism. Without a doubt, no other Christian set actively evangelizes like the Jehovah’s Witnesses, none even come close. As a Jehovah’s Witness, you are readily mandated to evangelize not just occasionally like most Christian sets but regularly.
Second is their civility. As far as I am concerned, I think the Jehovah’s Witnesses are the most civilized Christian set in Nigeria. Even though they use microphones in their services, you can barely hear a sound outside their kingdom hall. I think most churches need to learn from them on how not to disturb people with their horn speakers. It can be very annoying.
Third is their uniformity. I have gone to kingdom halls and many Jehovah’s Witnesses’ conferences in many regions of the country and I can confirm that they teach the same message everywhere. Most multi-branched churches in Nigeria are not like this. Don't let me start to mention names.
Fourth is biblical knowledge. When it comes to biblical knowledge, I haven't seen that Christian set that can win the Jehovah’s Witnesses in a Bible-based debate even though a lot of people will argue that their teachings are heresies. The truth of the matter is that no church is perfect and Jehovah’s Witnesses are not an exemption. Try an engage a random 8-year-old Jehovah’s Witness, you will be shocked by his or her narration of biblical events.
Recently, I was watching a video of two pastors arguing about tithing on Facebook and I was so irritated by the pastor arguing for why Christians should pay tithe. The Bible verses he was using as his defense were totally irrelevant to the points he was making. Jehovah's Witnesses are not like that. If you ask a Jehovah’s Witness a question he doesn't know, he will not try to be proof smart to you or beat around the bush, he will simply tell you that he does have the answer to your question but he will reach out to his superior for the answer. Trust me, he will always come back with a reasonable response even if it doesn't really answer the question exactly but at least it will sound very reasonable.
Fifth is their lower divorce rate. Of course, there will certainly be Jehovah’s Witnesses who are divorced but I am yet to see one myself. Do you know one? The Bible says, “By their fruits, we shall know them. This is a clear testament to show that the word of God is of great effect in their lives. Yeah!
Sixth is their devotion. When it comes to devotion, I rate the Jehovah’s Witnesses very high. A Jehovah’s Witness with an MSc can decide to turn into an artisan simply because he doesn't want anything that will hinder him from going to weekly meetings at the Kingdom Hall. One of their once told me that he has never missed a meeting in his entire life and if I wasn't mistaken, he should be around 32 years of age when he told me that. Jehovah’s Witnesses don't joke with their meetings and that's why you will rarely see a Jehovah’s Witness working in the bank.
Lastly is their less emphasis on money. This is one area I respect the Jehovah’s Witnesses most. A Jehovah’s Witness will politely stop you by the road, hand you a book that would have cost you a lot of money, and ask that you give a free-will offering. Even if N5 is all you have, he will collect. This is not the way it is in other Christian sets where everything is for sale. The only Christian set that is a bit like the Jehovah’s Witnesses in this regard is the Christ Embassy with their “Rhapsody of Reality”. It will shock you that the Jehovah’s Witnesses do not take offerings or tithe in their meeting except a box at the entrance of the hall where can drop their voluntary offerings. Sometimes I imagine how they can run their publications and the maintenance of their halls. I don't think there is any better way to explain the true provision of God than that.
In conclusion, I know a lot of Christians see the Jehovah’s Witnesses as a heretic movement or even a demonic one but I don't think so. Instead, I see sincere people who are devoted to God in the way they know best. Whether their doctrine is accurate or not, I just hope God counts the sincerity of their heart and devotion as righteousness.

You have fairly recounted your experience with them,but does it exnorate them from heretic teachings and preachings? See what bible said in Gal. 5:9
A little leaven, leaveneth the whole lump.
2Tim. 2:18
Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is ed already; and overthrow the faith of many.
Consider this scriptures in assessing them next time.
Having those outside traits you have mentioned, cannot pay the price of one soul that is wrongly lead to hell.
Thanks
We pray that God will keep all of us alive till then. But by the grace of God Almighty,it will surely happen.
The stone that the builders reject, will soon become the head. God helping us.
Like someone said before me, this is a position that was highly revered in Kano,the North and other parts of Nigeria, but the former governor of Kano State with the of Buhari, bastardized it into 5 Emirates.
This was what the government of Nigeria did to South East, after the war,by creation of states, to weaken the South Eastern area, so that the spread of the Igbo speaking people can be restricted.
In my view, the Emirate, should be reverted to its formal position, because the creation of the 5, was in bad fate.
It was politically motivated.
This should be a lesson to those in power. You can't be there for ever.
What you did in 8yrs of your powerful rule,can be reduced to nothing in just 2 months of the new istration.
Good luck to them,let not the security of life and properties in the State be ruptured.

Some obidient ipob Igbos on this same Nairaland claim the Dangote Refinery is a charade that it will not start working till 2030 ? What exactly is going on here Dangote should show workings.
Igbo matter will send you to your six feet beneath, if you don't take time.
Isaiah 66:8
Who has heard such a thing?
Who has seen such things?
Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day?
Or shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion was in labor,
She gave birth to her children.
May 14th 1948, was the day, the above Scripture was Fulfulled. Ever since then , the devil and his host ran mad. The devil fought to stop but the Word of GOD prevailed.
That was the day, our generation , the generation that will see JESUS Christ began to count.
GOD BLESS ISRAEL TODAY, TOMMORROW and FOREVER
God bless Israel for ever and ever. I stand with Israel.for life.
Have their seats been declared vacant by a court without further appeal so that we know it is a final judgement?
More like saying the constitution has made theft a crime. Does it mean everyone who has stolen are by default already convicted even when no one has even noticed the theft, not to even talk of an arrest or prosecution?
What about those who have been suspended since October 2023? How did they unsuspend themselves to become new leadership of 3 only.
I just don't understand why educated people will be asserting rubbish.
Your post is a reflection of Nigeria's comatose education?
There's a Supreme Court judgement on this issue of defection. You know that Supreme Court judgement is like a law in any nation.
But my fear is this, with the kind of chief justice we have at the Apex Court, considering Emeka Ihedioha case, can they stand to defend their judgement?
Can you recollect the relationship between Wike and the chief justice before the 2023 elections? Can you recall what he said there then that went viral?
In Nigeria, anything goes on,white is not always white but black.
Except you have not watched this useless station called Al Jazeera for a day,if you have, you will discover that they are quite biased in their reportage, especially on anything ISRAEL
Serves them better.

Reconstruction works have recommenced on the 19-kilometer Atan-Lusada-Agbara Road in Ado-Odo Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State.
Glory to God. Considering the proximity of this state to Lagos State,I would have thought that the previous istrations in Ogun State would have place this road on their priority list.
It's better late than never

Looking at these pictures keenly, consider these facts:
1. Beach is like a road side, certain meters from the water belong to government. It is a public space.
2. The coastal road would have affected only the structure of land mark beach which only belongs to him. But because of his noise the road was brought in front of the structure making government to lay claim to the coast that legally belongs to it, sand filling the water to create more space for the road.
3.Since land mark beach ⛱️ structure is not affected, no more compensation
4. Does land mark beach owner even have approval for the structure in the first place?
5.
When Buhari started work on the rail way to Niger,lots of us asked to know the economic to Nigeria, having such a project, till now,we don't even know the state of work on the project.
On this Lagos-Calabar road, that #4b will be used to construct just 1km, what's it's importance economically to us Nigerians?
Congratulations sir.
I wish this can be done here in Lagos State, especially the transport section. This is a traditional ruler with a difference, not one that will be chairman of everything.

He has been in jail for more than a month now,Those none Igbo who always hailed this guy whenever he insults his own people,where are they now?
Ijele speaks
Can you see that the detention of this man,has put all cyberbulling guys in the cooler?
Everyone is now careful. Have you also noticed that since his detention, all the people carrying Ebuka Obi's matter on their head, have also gone under?
I think I love the lesson this will teach everyone. Your freedom is not absolute, but limited.
Onyema needs them more than they need him. If Onyema could fly the planes by himself, he wouldn't have employed them.
Are they the only qualified pilots in Nigeria?.
If Onyema is a tribalistic man, he can go to anywhere he sees an Igbo man who is a pilot and employ him, after all it's all about money.
Stop promoting nonsense.

Did you ever think maybe they just want you guys gone? As in, they don't like you?
There's nothing like wanting anybody to leave,but it's just their way. Not willing to do any job, other than job in NNPC, Shell, Eni etc. I have been there, so I know what I'm talking about.
If they collect their salary, you won't see them at work in the next 3-4 day
The unemployed amongst them, will like to wear shoe and jeans and pose more than you, who has a job. I know the Warri Port too well,I also know Crown Flour Mills also. So I know what I'm talking about.

It's perfectly in order. The indigenes gas to raise revenue for the communities.
The CORNmaster increased the price of petrol, LNG, electricity to raise revenue for his pocket so what these people are doing is in order to balance the equation.
The only people feeling the heat are the CORNtree people who stood on the mandate, they are gnashing their teeths in pain, screaming g Ebi n pawa every now and then.
Stupeed CORNtree people.
The Warri guys, will never learn. It will hit them hard soonest. I have lived and work in that port for sometimes, the attitude of the youths in that place is too bad. Give them jobs, they won't work, only to claim ownership mentality.
Warri used to be the hub of business before,but their ownership mentality has driven lots of investors out of the place. NPA quarters is now gone, no serious business is going there. Shops there are empty.
They will soon regret, just like what happened, when the oil companies left the area in droves.
I pity this man Bliken. Pressure of work in the Asian continent, especially this Is real and Hamas war is making look older everyday. This wasn't his look before now.

Just because you can pray while brushing no mean say you can brush teeth inside church. Use your brain no dey type before you think
You are the one who should use your brain here. Very simple, trying to make ends meet. You don't even know how helpful selling those things in the Uber can be to those in the car.
