Meet The Naija Pastor Who Preaches With Expensive Swags

Singing and giving praises to God is Godly, it is Biblical because God says, if I be lifted up, I will draw all men to myself. When we praise God, He blesses us. Praising and worshipping God is very essential. Any church that doesn’t praise God through music will see little of God’s power and that is why the manifestation of God’s power is made more real through music. There are too many gospel artistes that I love but my favourite is Praise Machine because he is a friend and a brother. He has attended all the conventions held in my church and he is doing well.

He has been a blessing to us through his music. The youthful pastor said what he looks out for in a gospel artiste is that the individual must have a high level of integrity and will amplify the gospel through their music. Gospel musicians should always adopt a lifestyle that is pleasing to God always. Gospel artistes that now sing secular music are like hirelings, they are doing it to feed their belly but those who are called to preach the word of God, no matter what, are still holding on to what they believe.

“ I am looking for a gospel musician, who will not just entertain but minister. I want people to fear the Lord and I believe that one day, this nation will have a leader that will lead like Christ.”

Jim Iyke and Lithuanian girlfriend welcome baby boy (photos)

 

Jim Iyke did a great job hiding his relationship from Nigerian media...who knew he was dating a white woman and had a baby with her? According to The African Eye magazine, who sent the photos to LIB, Jim and his 23 year old Lithuanian girlfriend Dana Kinduryte welcomed a baby boy on September 1st at Grady Hospital, Atlanta. The child has since been named Harvis Chidubem Iyke.

According to African Eye, Jim met Dana, a law graduate in London over a year ago but she didn't even know he was a famous actor until three months after they started dating.

Five months after the couple found out they were expecting a child, Jim moved Dana into his apartment in Atlanta where he cared for her. Jim was said to be present and assisted in the delivery of his first child.

“My son. After trying a few relationships in the industry at home, I didn’t want the circus and misconceptions that came from close scrutiny so I spared no expense and resources to protect this relationship and my baby. This time last year I was in depression over my mom’s death. This time around I’m in tears of joy”. Jim was quoted as saying

Many of his friends and colleagues are said to be surprised about the baby news as most didn't know he was expecting one. Congrats to Jim and Dana

Adesina's appointment shows I had a good team - GEJ

Former President Jonathan says that the recent appointment of former Minister of Agriculture Akinwunmi Adesina as the 8th President of the African Development Bank, AfDB, is an attestation to the fact that he had a very good team during his administration. Jonathan said this in a congratulatory letter he sent to Adesina on his new appointment

"Given your exemplary record of performance, while serving as the Honourable Minister for Agriculture and Rural Development in my cabinet, I have no doubt that you will deploy your energy and the bank’s resources to ensure that Africa experiences a new era of accelerated development.

You were not only a critical voice in my economic team, you also walked the talk, and earned the praise of our countrymen and women, by ensuring that Nigeria’s quest for self-sufficiency in food production became an achievable dream. I am particularly pleased with your emergence as the AfDB boss; a development, I believe, has come as a reward for having served your country meritoriously.  It also attests to the fact that my Administration had a good team that managed the affairs of the country.”the letter read

In a related development, Jonathan in a congratulatory letter to Arunma Oteh, the former DG of the Security Exchange Commission during his administration, said her appointment as the Treasurer/Vice President of the World Bank also attest to the fact that he had the best in his team while he was president

"I am delighted that you are going to your new job, fresh from the experience of having led the recovery and growth initiatives of the Nigerian Bourse in the wake of the decline, occasioned by recent global economic recession and financial crisis. I am particularly pleased that you are being rewarded and elevated on the world stage, after serving your country meritoriously, at a time I was the President. This is a clear testimony to your capacity, high integrity, and tenacity of purpose. It is also a vindication of the decision of my Administration to stand by you, believing in your abilities and competence, even when questions were being raised in some quarters over your choice.

I am convinced that the experience you gathered as Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Nigeria (SEC) gave you deep insights on how to tackle the peculiar challenges of a developing nation. The World Bank can draw from this to ensure that its future partnerships with emerging economies in Africa and other parts of the world are anchored on policies that will lead to sustained growth and development, which is a sine qua non for lifting millions of people in the developing world out of mass poverty.”
