Shockwaves are reverberating across Yorùbáland and the global Yorùbá diaspora following the sudden death of the Baba Ọba (King’s Father) of the famed Oyotunji African Village in South Carolina, USA. The late Baba Ọba, Lukman Arohunfale, a revered socialite and traditionalist, passed away under circumstances already sparking fierce controversy. His death comes just days after he publicly accused the newly installed Alaafin of Oyo, His Imperial Majesty Oba Akeem Adéyẹmọ Owoade, of allegedly ordering his courtiers to beat him mercilessly during a recent courtesy visit to the Oyo palace in Nigeria.

The Senior Pastor of the Awaiting The Second Coming Of Jesus Christ Gospel Church, Pastor Adewale Giwa on Friday lashed out at some Pastors who buy private jets.
Giwa said such Pastors are not working for God but for themselves.
In a statement he signed and sent to DAILY POST, Giwa urged the affected Pastors to “carefully read Matthew chapter 19:16-27,” adding that such clergymen won’t make heaven.
“The truth is that, they know they are buying jets to compete with one another. Our God is not a God of convenience, but a God of commitment.

“Also, I do not want to agree to the statement that we should not judge people. Leviticus 19:15 simply says, ‘ You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbour fairly,” he said.
