Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has expressed his deep concern over the arrest of one of the church’s pastors abroad, an incident that highlights growing issues surrounding free speech and gender inclusivity in modern society.

Adeboye shared the unsettling news during the church’s monthly Thanksgiving service held at the RCCG’s Throne of Grace parish in Lagos on Sunday.

According to Adeboye, the pastor was detained for simply addressing a crowd as “ladies and gentlemen,” a gesture that was met with accusations of discrimination.

The pastor’s use of the term was deemed offensive by some, who questioned its lack of inclusivity for non-binary individuals.

This incident, Adeboye believes, is a sign of the increasingly complicated cultural landscape where traditional expressions are being scrutinized for their alignment with contemporary social norms.

“The end is nearer than you think. Things are getting worse, and this is a wake-up call,” Adeboye told the congregation, adding that such events are signs of the difficult times ahead.

He further explained that the arrest was a result of a complaint filed by those who felt excluded by the traditional phrase, asking, “What about those who are neither ladies or gentlemen?”

This case, according to the clergyman, reflects the larger issues of moral decline and the loss of foundational values worldwide.

Adeboye also shared a troubling anecdote about a woman who referred to her pet dog as her “husband.”

When questioned about her spouse, the woman casually mentioned that she had taken “him” to the vet earlier and that “he doesn’t talk,” referring to the dog as her husband.

This incident, he said, served as another example of the rapid erosion of societal norms and respect for traditional values.

The pastor expressed growing concerns over these cultural shifts, viewing them as clear indications of what many Christian teachings refer to as “the end times.”

He urged members of the congregation, particularly those already grounded in the faith, to take these matters seriously and not allow their faith to be shaken by societal pressures.

“Those of you already in Christ, take this matter seriously. Do not let anyone weaken your stand. God is holy.

Those still playing church—singing, clapping, and enjoying things without genuine commitment—remember, Jesus is coming back.

The devil wants to harvest you, but you must not give him the opportunity.

I want to see you in my Father’s house,” he urged, emphasizing the importance of remaining steadfast in one’s faith as the world around them changes rapidly.

An auxiliary nurse, Feyisayo Ogedengbe, recently testified before the coroner investigating the death of Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad. The hearing took place at the Magistrate Court in Ikorodu, Lagos, on Saturday, where Ogedengbe gave a detailed account of the events leading up to Mohbad’s death.

Ogedengbe explained that she completed her nursing training at Cornerstone Hospital in Akute, Ogun State, from 2014 to 2017. She worked at the hospital for a year before relocating. She stated that on September 11, 2023, a client named Ayobami Sodiq, also known as Spending, contacted her to treat a friend who had injured his hand. Spending suspected that a piece of glass was stuck in the wound.

Due to traffic, Ogedengbe couldn’t attend to the patient that day but went the next day, September 12, around 2:30 p.m. When she arrived at Orchid Estate in Lekki, she realized the patient was Mohbad. She met Mohbad, his wife, and Ayobami in a room.

Ogedengbe said Mohbad’s right hand was swollen. After confirming that he had an ulcer, she decided not to give him a diclofenac injection and instead administered 4ml of paracetamol and 1ml of water intravenously. She also gave him a diluted 10ml ceftriaxone injection for pain and to treat any bacterial infection.

While receiving the ceftriaxone, Mohbad said he felt like vomiting. Ogedengbe stopped the injection, and Mohbad went to the toilet to vomit. When he returned and sat on the floor, Ogedengbe noticed goosebumps on his body. Mohbad’s wife said this was a normal reaction and suggested pouring water on him to help.

His wife took him to the bathroom and began pouring water on his head. Meanwhile, Ogedengbe and Ayobami went to find a pharmacy to get hydrocortisone and saline infusion for the allergic reaction. The first pharmacy didn’t have the medication, but they found it at a second pharmacy around 3 p.m.

While at the pharmacy, Ayobami received a call saying Mohbad was convulsing. Ogedengbe told him to arrange for Mohbad to be taken to the hospital. By the time they returned to the house, Mohbad had been moved outside, and the hydrocortisone and saline infusion couldn’t be administered.

Since no vehicle was available, a neighbour offered to drive them to the hospital. Ogedengbe sat in the front with Mohbad’s wife, while Mohbad, Ayobami, and Mohbad’s brother, Adura, sat in the back. Heavy traffic slowed them down, so Mohbad was transferred to a motorbike while Ogedengbe ran behind it.

It took about 20 minutes to reach the first hospital, where the staff initially hesitated to treat Mohbad. They eventually performed CPR, but the doctor pronounced Mohbad dead. Ogedengbe informed the doctor about the medications she had given Mohbad.

Darosha, another friend, arrived and insisted on taking Mohbad to another hospital. Mohbad’s wife accompanied Darosha while Ogedengbe and Ayobami followed in an Uber. At the second hospital, the medical team confirmed there was no pulse. The doctor spoke with Ogedengbe and then consulted Mohbad’s family members, Darosha and Spending.

They stayed at the second hospital for about an hour before returning Mohbad’s body to the house around 8 p.m. Later that night, Ogedengbe, Ayobami, Mohbad’s lawyer, and Ogedengbe’s cousin went to the police station at Orchid Lekki to report the death and seek a death certificate. The police advised them to visit Ajiwe Police Station in Ajah for a police report.

Ogedengbe’s testimony was followed by a cross-examination from the lawyers representing Mohbad’s family, his wife, and the state government. The case was adjourned to March 21, 2025, for further hearing.

A corps member serving in Lagos State has raised the alarm after allegedly receiving threatening messages for criticizing President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

In a viral TikTok video, the corps member, known as @talktoraye, expressed frustration over the rising cost of living and economic hardship under Tinubu’s government. She openly called out the president, describing him as a terrible leader and questioning what steps the government was taking to address the country’s worsening economic situation.

She also complained about the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme, saying it hasn’t been helpful since she spends more than the allowance she receives.

“If more Nigerians speak up about what we’re facing, maybe things will change,” she said. “I don’t know if there’s any other president as terrible as you, but you are such a terrible president.”

She described how the cost of food and essentials keeps increasing every week, leaving her overwhelmed. “I went to buy foodstuff, and everything has gone up again. A crate of eggs now costs N6,500. It makes no sense because I remember when eggs were N800,” she said.

She also mentioned the rising cost of utility bills and transportation. “After shopping, I got home to find out the security and NEPA bills have doubled. It’s crazy. Every penny I make goes into paying bills. Even taking an Uber with a friend now costs N25,000. Why is everything so expensive?”

After the video gained attention, the corps member said she started receiving threatening messages, allegedly from NYSC officials. She later posted another video where she was reportedly on a call with an NYSC official who scolded her and demanded that she delete the video.

“Are you normal? Keep quiet and take down that video,” the official allegedly told her.
