AWAY WITH PASTORAL DECEPTION – ONLINE PREACHING



For the greater part of last decade many believers were caught or trapped under the throes of deceiving pastors, preachers and perhaps those who call themselves “men of God”.  More vulnerable are those suffering from long delays, abrupt sickness, prolong stagnation and poverty.  It was easier for them to be manipulated and in most cases subjected to more misery.  But the good news is that God is aware.  In Hosea 4 vs. 6. He said:  “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge”.  Going further the Lord showed me Isaiah 42 vs. 7, “To open the blind eyes; to bring out the prisoners from the prison and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house”.  Meaning that you could be in “prison” without your knowing it; also, you may be shielded from the good things of life without your awareness; when people experience difficulties in life they may actually be sitting in contrived “darkness” packaged by enemies.

Anyone who is in “prison house” is not expected achieve success in life especially when you are ignorant.  The bad news here is we end up blaming suspected relatives, friends and so on and end up being deceived under the guise of going through rituals, sacrifices, etc.  But am here to tell you to open your eyes.  You are not under any siege.  The Bible is very clear on this: “The truth you know has set you free”.  Oh, yes.  Look up to God.  In Isaiah 44 vs. 6, He let it be known that “I am the first and the last; beside me there is no other God”.  If the Lord can lead the blind by a way they know not and lead them in paths they have not known what about you?  The only thing is: you must be disciplined and ready to pray and fast.  Isaiah 56 vs. 6, the Lord reminded us “Is this not a fast I have ordained to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?  Brethren, look at that!  Undo burdens! Break every yoke! Oh, how beautiful it is to worship – and know God!  Finally, as you open your eyes, remember: run to God for help – instead of man!

Trouble looms over Court order seeking Exhumation of corpse of prominent Igbo Family

  A recent court order widely regarded as an assault on customs and decency, seeking the exhumation of the corpse of a prominent Igbo chief, is largely seen as a misuse of judicial authority, and fear the backlash may lead to disruption of communal peace. By Clement Ebaku and Lucy Okulougbo reporting from Owerri. Tension has escalated surrounding the Amuchienwa family following a contentious order issued on 5 December 2025 by Justice I.O. Agugua, directing the exhumation of the remains of the late Chief Ifeanyichukwu Dona Amuchienwa, who was laid to rest on 17 October 2025. The directive, made nearly two months after the burial, has sparked widespread outrage, with many describing it as a shocking affront to the dignity of the deceased. Imolites are questioning the circumstances under which the ruling emerged, with reactions trailing a media release by Ms. Chinyere Igwegbe (formerly Amuchienwa), the late Chief’s former wife, whose marriage ended more than 32 years ago.

Sahara Reporters, Premium Times, The Cable and Modern Journalism

  Journalism has continued to evolve since the days of veterans like Professors Alfred Opubor, Onoura Nwuneli, Ralph Akinfeleye, Adidi Uyo, Idowu Sobowale, and other greats, not to mention the shining lights of flawless prose writing like Dan Agbese, Ray Ekpu, Yakubu Muhammed, Dele Gowa, and not least, Olatunji Dare. But the entrance of Sahara Reporters appears to deviate from those widely held pragmatic principles of decency. Stories by our reporters In those days, the Department of Mass Communication of the University of Lagos was very hot and remains so to date. Exciting lecturers in the mold of Dr Adidi Uyo, Ralph Akinfeleye, and Idowu Sobowale made teachings very robust and thirsty to listeners. Students learnt the trade and picked up fast. They taught the tenets of practical journalism exhaustively and left no stone unturned. They made journalism so sweet that students were always hungry to learn more; the thrills were such that even the 13 points cut-off mark for entry ...
