Published

on

The order by Edo State governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, which forbade political rally in the state was on Saturday, February 1 defiled by faction loyal to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as they held a political rally st Ipoji, Esan West Local Government Area of the state to welcome defectors.

The Governor had earlier given order banning any form of polical rally in the state but this seems no hold water as the camp loyal to the National Chairman held a rally successful and peaceful.

Though the earlier scheduled venue for the rally was changed, it still held in a new venue where fierce looking boys who served as security subjected everyone coming into the venue to thorough screening and searching including journalists who went to cover the rally.

We gather today to increase our figures; to increase the population of the APC; to receive a lot of people into our folds”, he added.

According to him, Aselm Ojezua, factional chairman of the party was running the party like his family affairs and carried out some things that were not in line with the party constitution hence he was suspended.

The only way we can save the party from total collapse was to remove the chairman. I am saying this so that Esan people can hear.

“That is why we met, fulfill the constitutional requirement, passed vote of no confidence on him and he seize to function in that capacity. We sent our resolution to the national body of the party, they reviewed our procedure, said it was in order, rectified it but did not only removed him, he is suspended from the party. So, as of today, Aselm Ojezua is not a member of the APC”, he added.

Speaking on the violence some of the party members have gone of recently, Imuse urged members to be law abiding and not to go violence way.

He said, “I want to advise everybody that in spite of the violence being perpetrated we should remain calm. We should not be violent; we should not retialate against any form of violence. But I also want to advise those who are members of APC from govt house that the violence perpetrated will not serve the interest of the perpetrators.

“I also want to advise governor Godwin Obeseki to refrain from making statement, utterances, body conduct or body language and actions that will belittle the mightiness of the office of the governor. It is an office that is very well refrend and hold in high esteem and we intend to continue doing so.”

He promised to take the party to a enviable heights where elections would be contested and won.

Kanye West To Launch Yeezy P0rn Studio With Stormy Daniels

Published

on

Ye, the musical artist formerly known as Kanye West, 46, is considering the idea of launching a pornography studio as his latest non-musical project.

According to a new report by TMZ, Ye and his associates are reportedly now in advanced talks with Stormy Daniels’ ex-husband Mike Moz start building a supposed “Yeezy Porn” division, which would fall under the Yeezy parent company.

Moz is a veteran in the adult entertainment industry with over a decade’s worth of experience as a producer. He would reportedly be brought in to lead the new effort, which could launch as early as this summer.

Ye seems to have a complicated relationship with pornography. He wasn’t shy when it came to rapping about his fantasies with women at the start of his career but something shifted about five years ago when he confirmed he converted to Christianity.

During a 2019 interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, West—who served as creative director for the Pornhub Awards in 2018, complete with merchandize, said Playboy magazine was his gateway to a “full-on pornography addiction.”

“My dad had a full-on magazine laid out when I was five,” he told Lowe. “Playboy was a gateway to a full-on pornography addiction. … It has impacted every choice I have made in my life from age five to now.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, which was recorded ahead of the release of his Jesus Is King album featuring the Sunday Service Choir, Ye opened up about how his Christianity changed him.

“Now that I’m in service to Christ, my job is to spread the gospel, to let people know what Jesus has done for me,” said Ye, who was still with Kim Kardashian. “I’ve spread a lot of things. There was a time I was letting you know what high fashion had done for me, I was letting you know what the Hennessey had done for me, but now I’m letting you know what Jesus has done for me, and in that I’m no longer a slave, I’m a son now, a son of God. I’m free.”

In 2022, West wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post that pornography “destroyed” his family.

“Hollywood is a giant brothel Pornography destroyed my family I deal with the addiction instagram promotes it Not gonna let it happen to Northy and Chicago,” he wrote at the time, per Page Six.

A lot has changed between then and now, including Ye’s marriage to Bianca Censori, 29, which happened secretly in December 2022. She’s been photographed a number of times—by Ye and paparazzi alike—in clothing that tests the boundaries of the word “revealing.”.

On his latest album, Vultures, Ye sampled an infamous line from the 1999 film Dogma for his song “Back to Me” where he raps, “Beautiful, big titty, butt-naked women just don’t fall out the sky, you know?”

Many Ladies Can’t Cook, Christian Movie Producer, Bamiloye Laments Scarcity Of ‘Wife Materials’

Published

on

The Founder of Mount Zion Faith Ministries, Mike Bamiloye, has expressed concern about young people who prioritise wedding ceremonies over preparation for marriage.

In a post on his Facebook page on Wednesday, Bamiloye criticised a trend of young couples rushing into marriage without adequate knowledge or skills.

He wrote, “I am so afraid of youths of this generation. Many are not preparing enough to enter into marriage. Many are very shallow in their knowledge of marriage. They prepare more for the wedding day, than for marriage. No deep studies on what marriage entails. They are too hasty and not ready to sit down and learn the principles of marital life.

“Many ladies are not qualified to be wives, even at 28. They can’t cook properly. They are used to fast food at the eateries, ice cream, indomie, and spagetti, plus boiled eggs and titus, and they spend six months studying the wedding gowns and the accessories for the bridal trails.”

He further emphasised the importance of spiritual grounding, communication, and perseverance in navigating the challenges of marriage.

My dear sister is 26; she is still not yet wife material. She is beautiful, but she cannot cook. She is not spiritually strong in prayer. And she has a shallow knowledge of the word of God.

“How would she withstand the spiritual challenges that come against every home now? Too materialistic and with very little knowledge of home management. She spent several months preparing for her wedding day, but few moment to study what marriage life is. If love is blind at courtship, it is marriage that will open the blind eyes,” he added.

While condemning domestic abuse, Bamiloye encouraged couples to “sharpen the rough edges” and highlighted the need to address “red flags” during courtship.

He added, “I am against abuse of women and wives. A man who beats or tortures his wife is an animal unfit to live among humans. However, we are now having too many breakings, separations, and divorces among children of God.

“No endurance, no respect, no patience. When things do not go as expected, it becomes incompatibility, and our youths, especially ladies, are being taught to walk out of marriage.

“So today, many young marriages are not fulfilled. Every marriage has its rough edges, but you have to sharpen the rough-edges.

“When you were in courtship, you ought to have noticed some little devilish behaviour in the young man, which the Holy Spirit was pointing to you as a red flag, but you were too much in love, too impatient to get into marriage. What then was the meaning of courtship?”

The PUNCH reported in November 2023, that the Christian movie producer similarly expressed concern about women who, despite appearing pleasant in church, display stubbornness, rudeness, and a lack of submission at home.
