Veteran actor Patrick Doyle has expressed concern over the gift of two Rolls Royce cars presented to Bishop David Oyedepo during his 70th birthday.

In a recent post, Doyle called the gesture insensitive, considering the economic struggles many Nigerians face.

He argued that the funds could have been used for more impactful projects like building public structures or offering scholarships.

Doyle emphasized the need for affluent figures to be more sensitive to the nation’s hardships, suggesting alternatives to such lavish displays of wealth.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed his intention to be present at the 90th birthday celebration of Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of Living Faith Church.

During the recent 70th birthday celebration of Oyedepo, held at the Faith Tabernacle in Ota, Ogun State, Obasanjo noted that he would be 107 years old when Oyedepo reached this milestone.

In his address to the congregation, Obasanjo playfully acknowledged the stages of life, saying, “Today marks your entry into the club of Septuagenarians.

Soon, you will transition to being an Octogenarian, and I will still be here to celebrate with you.

Following that, you will become a Nonagenarian, and I assure you, I will also be here for that occasion.”

He humorously added, “After that, I will leave you to continue your journey, but rest assured that God will always be with you.”

Obasanjo also took a moment to reflect on his longstanding connection to Ota and the significant role that Oyedepo has played in the community.

He reminisced about his farming ventures in Ota, which began in 1979, emphasizing the deep-rooted ties he has to the area and its development over the years.

Through his remarks, Obasanjo highlighted not only the personal relationship he shares with Oyedepo but also the broader impact the bishop has had on the lives of many in the region.

Vice President Kamala Harris took to her X handle, formerly known as Twitter, to emphasize her commitment to border security and the fight against transnational crime.

Reflecting on her previous role as Attorney General of California, Harris highlighted her extensive experience in prosecuting criminal organizations involved in the trafficking of guns, drugs, and human beings.

She stressed the critical importance of safeguarding the nation’s borders to protect communities from these dangerous activities.

Harris shared details of her recent visit to the U.S.-Mexico border, where she engaged with Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials to assess the ongoing efforts to enhance border security.

The Vice President praised the progress made in securing the border and commended the dedicated work of law enforcement personnel in addressing the influx of illegal fentanyl and other drugs that pose a significant threat to public health and safety.

During her discussions with CBP officials, Harris focused on the measures being taken to disrupt the flow of illicit substances into the country.

She underscored the need for a comprehensive strategy that includes strengthening border infrastructure, increasing the use of advanced technology, and enhancing cooperation with international partners to dismantle the criminal networks responsible for trafficking.

Harris’s visit to the border comes as the Biden administration faces increasing pressure to address the challenges posed by illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

The Vice President reiterated her administration’s commitment to a multifaceted approach that not only targets criminal organizations but also addresses the root causes of migration and drug smuggling.

In her message, Harris conveyed a sense of urgency and determination, emphasizing that the security of the U.S. border is a top priority for the administration.

She acknowledged the complexities of the issue but expressed confidence in the progress being made.

Harris also called for continued support and collaboration from lawmakers and communities to ensure the safety and security of the nation.

As the administration works to strengthen border security and combat the flow of illegal drugs, Harris’s visit serves as a reminder of her personal dedication to these issues and her ongoing efforts to protect American families from the dangers posed by transnational crime.
