The pan-Yoruba socio-cultural and political group, Afenifere, has appointed Dele Farotimi, a prominent lawyer and activist, as its new National Organizing Secretary.

This decision was made during Afenifere’s general meeting, held at the residence of their leader, Pa Ayo Adebanjo, in Isanya Ogbo, Ogun State, on Tuesday.

The announcement was made in a communique issued following the meeting, which was jointly signed by Afenifere’s Deputy Leader, Oba Oladipo Olaitan, and National Publicity Secretary, Justice Faloye.

“The General Meeting considered and approved the appointment of Barrister Dele Farotimi as the National Organizing Secretary of Afenifere,” the statement read.

On Monday, former U.S. President Donald Trump signed four executive orders related to the military, one of which significantly impacts transgender individuals.

The order, titled “Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness,” bans transgender people from openly serving or enlisting in the armed forces.

This policy reverses a decision made by President Joe Biden, which allowed transgender people to join the military and receive medical coverage for transition-related care.

Trump’s new directive aims to restore a policy from his first term, emphasizing the importance of military readiness and effectiveness.

Pastor David Ibiyeomie, founder of Salvation Ministries, has warned his congregation against accepting financial assistance from senior pastors, claiming that doing so can diminish one’s blessings.

In a recently viral video shared on social media, the prominent pastor shared his thoughts on the matter, urging believers to avoid receiving money from senior clergy members.

Ibiyeomie explained that this practice is not supported by scripture and emphasized the importance of giving to senior pastors instead.

He further elaborated on the concept, saying that when people financially support senior pastors, they unlock greater prosperity for themselves.

“May I tell you a raw truth? It may be hard, but never collect money from a senior man of God. It is not scriptural. Don’t collect money from senior pastors; you are reducing your blessing,” he said.
