Adeboye Raises Alarm Over Pastor’s Arrest for Saying “Ladies and Gentlemen”

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.

Bwala Says Goodluck Jonathan Cannot Defeat Tinubu in 2027 Election

Daniel Bwala, Special Adviser on Policy Communication to President Bola Tinubu, has said that former president Goodluck Jonathan stands no chance against his principal if he decides to contest the 2027 presidential election.
Bwala, who spoke on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Wednesday, cautioned Jonathan against yielding to pressure from those urging him to return to the race. According to him, such calls are only aimed at ruining the former leader’s hard-earned reputation.
“I can see that certain people are trying to lure former President Jonathan back into politics just so they can damage the image he has carefully built since leaving office,” Bwala said. “After his time in government, he rose to become a respected international figure, and going back would put that at risk.”
While Jonathan has not publicly declared any political ambition, Bwala stressed that even if he chooses to run, he does not have the strength to defeat Tinubu. “If Jonathan eventually throws his hat into the ring, I can tell you with facts from the political climate today that there is no politician capable of dislodging President Bola Tinubu,” he added.

Phyna Cries Out After Sister Loses Her Leg in Dangote Truck Accident

Former Big Brother Naija winner and actress, Josephina Otabor, better known as Phyna, is in deep pain after her younger sister was involved in a ghastly accident with a truck linked to the Dangote Group.
The incident happened shortly after her sister, Otabor Bodon Ruth, had finished celebrating her graduation from Auchi Polytechnic. According to witnesses, a Dangote truck ran into her as she was leaving the school premises. Also, the driver allegedly tried to flee the scene but was chased down and caught by a lecturer who saw everything.
The accident left Ruth in a critical condition. Doctors were forced to amputate one of her legs to save her life, and there are growing fears that the second leg may also be lost if her health does not improve.
Phyna, devastated by the news, took to social media to call out the Dangote Group. In an emotional post, she accused the company of trying to sweep the matter under the carpet. She claimed that the police had been told to remove the license plate from the truck involved, raising fears that evidence could be tampered with.
She wrote that while her family was battling to keep Ruth alive, company officials were allegedly more concerned with covering up the situation. Additionally, she warned that neither the truck nor the driver should be released from custody, insisting that she would not allow her sister’s suffering to go unnoticed.
Her outcry has attracted attention.
Social media critic VeryDarkMan shared a video of Ruth in the hospital, urging Nigerians to stand with the family and demanding accountability from the Dangote Group. Actress Kate Henshaw also lent her voice, confirming that the truck was in police custody but noted that the removal of its plate number raised serious concerns.

Dangote Refinery Reduces Cooking Gas Price to Less Than ₦800

The Dangote Refinery has once again shifted the energy market in Nigeria, this time by slashing the price of cooking gas to below ₦800 per kilogram, the cheapest the country has seen in years.
For months, Nigerians have battled with skyrocketing LPG costs that often ranged between ₦1,000 and ₦1,300 per kilogram, forcing many families to turn back to kerosene or even firewood. During a recent facility tour, Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, promised to change that story. Now, he appears to be making good on his word.
The refinery, which produces around 22,000 tonnes of LPG daily, has enough capacity to influence prices across the country. By selling directly and avoiding multiple layers of middlemen, the refinery has pegged its ex-depot price at roughly ₦815/kg, undercutting other suppliers whose prices float between ₦825 and ₦900/kg.
If this trend holds, a standard 12.5kg cylinder could now sell between ₦10,200 and ₦11,000, compared to the ₦13,500 to ₦14,000 many Nigerians currently pay. For households struggling with high living costs, this is no small relief.
Many citizens have welcomed the move, praising Dangote for making clean energy more accessible. “People should not be cooking with firewood anymore,” he said, urging Nigerians to embrace safer and healthier alternatives.
But not everyone is pleased. Some long-standing gas marketers worry about being pushed out of the business. Industry players argue that while cheaper gas is welcome, Dangote’s dominance could edge smaller distributors aside and tilt the market too heavily in his favor.
