JESUS: Sola Allyson Fires Back St Critic Over Panam Percy Paul Comparison

Gospel singer and songwriter, Sola Allyson, has responded to criticism regarding the absence of direct references to Jesus in her latest album.

The controversy began when an X user, @Folahanayo1, referenced gospel legend Panam Percy Paul’s revelation that he once turned down a £24 million record deal in 1995 because it required him to reduce the mention of Jesus in his songs. The user then called out Allyson, stating, “Sola Allyson cannot relate. A whole album and not a single mention of Jesus.”

In a fiery response, Allyson defended her creative and spiritual choices, calling out what she perceived as judgment and manipulation in the criticism.

She further argued that faith is not about outward displays, but rather a personal journey, rejecting the notion that she must conform to a specific mold.

“Can you see why true souls have found themselves distant from you? Or is it that you are desperately looking for an addition of light souls in your dark space and must bully them into joining you?” she asked.

Allyson also criticised those who police expressions of faith, labelling them as insincere and judgmental.

“This act says dark and callous! This is bullying! The Jesus I know would NEVER do this!” she said.

Emphasising her independence, she made it clear that she would not be manipulated into performing faith in a way that does not align with her convictions.

“I don’t want to be a part of dark souls who outwardly present ‘Jesus’ but act otherwise. Leave me to be and face your fellow vain, shallow, and liar souls!” she said.

In an emotional video shared on her Instagram page on Saturday, Allyson revealed she had been struggling emotionally, holding on only to her faith and career.

“I just finished crying. Today, I am not strong. Right now, the only thing keeping me afloat is my faith in God and the work I have built with my own hands,” she confessed.

The musician expressed frustration at those who criticise her, questioning if their attacks would only stop once she was broken.

“Is it until I break? Until you hear I am gone, and then you start posting ‘RIP’ as if you ever truly cared? Every human has their limits. I have stood alone all my life. I have walked this path without validation from anyone. Even those closest to me never believed in me—until recently,” she said.

Allyson concluded by affirming her confidence in her journey and rejecting any pressure to conform.

“I am not begging to belong anywhere. I know who I am, I know where I am going, and I know the light I carry. If what I do unsettles you, walk away. Do not add to another person’s burden with careless words—you may never know the weight they already carry,” she said.

Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo has confirmed that a fire broke out at her office in Lagos on Tuesday evening, destroying parts of the property and several valuables.

The actress shared a video on Instagram showing the aftermath of the blaze—smoke-stained walls, scorched furniture, and charred debris scattered across the staircase and office space.

“This just happened today the 8th of July 2025, around 7pm. My office building caught fire,” she wrote.

Ojo praised the Nigerian Fire Service for their swift response, which helped contain the flames before they could cause further damage.

“Thank you to the Nigerian Fire service and my staff for salvaging what was left. Thankfully no lives were lost. The devil tested us today but God said no.

“With God on my side we will bounce back bigger and better,” she added.

She also thanked her team, describing the experience as shocking but expressing relief that no one was hurt.

The exact cause of the fire is yet to be determined.

This incident comes just months after a similar tragedy struck fellow actress Mercy Aigbe, whose Lagos home was destroyed by fire in December 2024.

The moment, Tiwa explained, reminded her of the deep emotional connection between a mother and her child, and how those little gestures can make even the toughest parenting moments worthwhile.

“Last night, I was reminded of one of the hardest things about being a mom: you still have to discipline your child and be strict, even when it breaks your heart.

“I’m a very, very strict mother. Everyone knows this. But last night, I went off on him. And this is why he melts my heart so much… I woke up and saw that he had quietly come to sleep next to me. I had slept on the couch, and he still came to lie beside me, my baby. I was shouting earlier… ahhh. Yet he still came close, seeking comfort,” she said.

Tiwa concluded by expressing how, despite the difficulties, motherhood remains the most rewarding experience in her life.

“Being a mother is tough. But it’s also the best feeling in the world,” she added.

Linc Edochie Told Me His Ex-wife Cheated On Him, Smokes Weed – Yinka Theisen [VIDEO]

Yinka Theisen has disclosed that she started a relationship with Linc Edochie after he told her that his estranged wife cheated on him.

Edochie got married to his estranged wife, Amaka Paula, in December 2010, and they shared two children together.

In May 2025, Linc Edochie got engaged to his new partner, Yinka Theisen.

A month after their engagement, Linc broke up with Yinka for getting involved in Queen May and Yul Edochie’s divorce drama on social media.

However, reacting to the controversy in an interview with actor Uche Maduagwu, Yinka Theisen narrated that she started a relationship with Linc after he accused his ex-wife of cheating on him and smoking weed.

“What Linc did to me, I’m shocked. I can’t lie to you, I’m shocked. This is a man a lot of people don’t know, the family (Edochie) had a tragic event recently. And I was there for him. I came to stay with him in Lagos, I supported him. I will just leave it at that because it’s a sensitive thing, and I don’t want to bring out a family secret that a lot of people don’t know about.

“I started a relationship with him after he told me a very, very sad thing about how his wife was sleeping around in Abuja with all the Alhajis, all these things I have text messages of and that she’s a weed head. She smokes weed every day, and that she withdraws the medication of their last child that had seizures.

“So we became very close in the sense of just emotionally supporting him because I couldn’t believe that a woman would repeatedly cheat on such an awesome man.”
