"Don't Marry A Lady That Can't Pray For One Hour" - Pastor Enoch Adeboye


According to a report on Vanguard , the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adejare Adeboye has taken a very dim view of pastors who try to follow fashion trends and grow their beards . He said : “ I don’ t want to see any of my pastors look
ing like fellows from the training camps of Al- Qaeda .”


He said older people who try to go along with the times rather than set an example for the younger ones cannot command their respect .


He said : “ They often look up to their fathers for direction but if a father himself does not know what he is doing then there something wrong .
“ The youths don ’t respect an elder that looks like them. You are supposed to be their guiding light after they have fooled around. ”


He also spoke on the issue of pastors who try to import tribalism into the church and impose Yoruba songs on the congregation . He said such people should leave the church or die like Annanias and Sapphira while emphasising the need for pastors in other parts of the country to encourage the locals to sing and rejoice in their local dialects .


Pastor Adeboye who seems worried at reports of disruption arising from arranged marriages decreed that no RCCG pastor should be seen to be involved in arranging marriages among brethren in the church.


It will be recalled that Pastor Adeboye had earlier counselled youths of the church on marriage , saying “ don’ t ever marry outside the church and you have no reason to marry outside RCCG. The reason is that if you are both from the same church even when trouble comes it is easier for the pastors to handle it !

“ Don ’t marry a girl simply because she can sing ! In the choir there are some people that can sing but they are fallen angels ! Marry a prayer warrior ! If a girl cannot pray for one hour, don’ t marry her.


“ Don ’t marry a girl who is lazy ! Don ’t marry a girl who cannot cook , she needs to know how to do chores and cook because you cannot afford to be eating out all the time.

“ Don ’t marry a girl who is worldly ! If you do , you have carried what you’ll worship for the rest of your life!” he advised .

The 74 - year General Overseer also enjoined all pastors in the church to regularly do a medical check up to avoid unnecessary and sudden deaths that can be avoided with proper care .

The Clumsy Wife

When you were asked about your swollen right eye, you said you sleepwalked and hit your face against the wall. We all said sorry and asked you to get well soon. A few days after, it was your chin that was shifted to the side. In response, you blamed it again in your clumsiness and that you feel off the bed. You are a grown woman in her late 30's. This time, we had questions that we couldn't dare to ask you. Weeks later, you were limping and you assured us that it was your clumsiness that made you fall down the stairs. At this point, we faced our business and wished you all the best. 2 months later, you're lying in a golden casket, 6 feet under the ground.  The autopsy read that you died from a deep gash on your forehead, probably a hit from the bloody plank of wood that was found beside your corpse. At this point, you want to talk. You wanted to say it all. But it's too late. Your husband claimed you hit your head on the plank, and we all believed him because you told u

She Must Be Obeyed Movie Review

  I don't understand Funke Akindele's obsession with the music industry Sha. She is always trying to project the industry one way or the other - we have Industreet already. On this new one Sha, I don't know how to feel about it.  This storyline is great. The life of a Celebrity musician behind the camera and in front of the camera. But the directing get as e be. The movie just dey anyhow. But the acting from some cast made up for the 'anyhowness'. Bishop (Okon) was amazing. Lateef was great. Gayness doesn't fit Akah. He shouldn't try it again. Vee tried small. I don't understand what Ali Nuhu was acting. Lizzy Jay sef dey vex person. The entire Rachael Okonkwo family weren't it at all. Mama Gee no try at all. Don't give her a drunk role again. Nancy Isime was Nancy Isime, Just there. Shaffy Bello was great as always. In all, I will give it a 4/10.

Big Love Movie Review

  While this movie tried not to be your regular Nollywood Romantic movie, I still got annoyed at some small small mistakes that I saw. Inkblot is too big for some mistakes that were present in this movie. Overall, Big Love is nice. It's a movie that would take you through a rollercoaster of emotions. The beginning was quite not it.  Most of the dialogues got me rolling my eyes, like warahell. Casting was great. Storyline was amazing Directing wasn't coordinated. There were scenes that looked rushed and scattered. PS - VJ Adams should just leave Bimbo for Timini. Their chemistry is mind-blowing. Timini had grown as an actor. And it's great to see. Aunty Shaffy is great, as always. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10.
