The Senior Pastor of Awaiting The Second Coming Of Christ Ministry, Adewale Giwa, has lashed out at the popular social media app, Facebook, over its censorship of religious views and bible verses.

Giwa, who fumed at the development said Mark Zuckerberg’s app has been going overboard with its stance on some posts.

Specifically, the fiery pastor wondered why Facebook would allow other issues on its platform but silence innocuous views as well as shut down harmless voices.

The pastor had posted a new month’s prayer and bible verses on his Facebook handle which the blue app had taken down.

According to Facebook, the post was against the Community Standards.

While vowing to quit the app, Giwa said, “This is what Facebook has been doing to me for a long time. As it is, I have nothing to do with them. Before they invented it, the world was okay.

“After establishing Facebook, things have turned upside down. They dine and wine with governments in power across the globe. Lies can’t kill the truth, impossible!.

“They claimed that my prayer was against their Community Standards. Initially, I didn’t notice they had deleted my post until they left me a message on the 3rd of April, asking me to either agree or disagree with their decision.

“Of course, I vehemently disagreed and questioned why they could delete a ‘prayer post’ that had nothing to do with politics.

“As a result, I have decided to stop using this platform until they realize their mistakes and tender unreserved apologies.

“I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you, children of God.”

A Nigerian woman, Oluwami Dosunmu-Ogunbi, has made history as the first black woman to bag a PhD in Robotics at the University of Michigan in the United States.

Speaking at the university’s College of Engineering convocation, Dosunmu-Ogunbi, a daughter of Nigerian immigrants, spoke on the support she received in realising her aspirations.

She said, “I do not stand here on my own two feet alone. None of us got here by our individual merit alone, whether it be teacher, friends, family, mentors, or role models, we each have one or multiple people to whom we are grateful for making this moment possible.”

She added that she wants to be remembered as the University of Michigan’s first black woman to get a PhD in Robotics and she wants to use her knowledge in engineering to improve the lives of others.

She added, “A Michigan Engineer is one who does not just provide scientific and technological leadership, but is also one who is intellectually curious, socially conscious, creates collaborative solutions to societal problems, and promotes an inclusive and innovative community of service for the common good.

“We each have a solemn duty to make positive contributions to the world. Well, my reasons for becoming an engineer were initially frivolous, but they eventually moved into something more meaningful. I want to have a positive impact on the world.”

The University of Michigan Robotics Department website describes Dosunmu-Ogunbi’s journey as one shared by many PhD students who initially lack a clear vision for their final goals.

It added that Dosunmu-Ogunbi has been an active community builder in robotics, earning an MLK Spirit Award from the College of Engineering for mentoring and inspiration as well as being named an outreach ambassador by Robotics for three years, 2021–2023.

The Department also disclosed that she was named a runner-up in the
College of Engineering’s three–minute thesis competition and has been inducted into the Bouchet Society, which recognises outstanding scholarly achievement and promotes diversity in graduate education and the professoriate.

Dosunmu-Ogunbi is currently interviewing for faculty positions, the department revealed.
