OPINION: Discussing Portable, Apostle Suleiman, Fufeyin And The Chosen (2)

Apostle Suleiman continued with his imaginary testimony, claiming, “I now came (up) with a strategy. The strategy I came up (with) will close down the company; I was praying, (and) the Lord said, ‘Forgive’. Querying God, Suleiman asked, ‘Ehn, for what!?’ (The Lord responded), ‘Forgive’.

Playing the victim card, Suleiman grieved loudly, “Three years! Do you know what that means!?’ Three years! And I only used the plane for three months. Full plane o, no bi motor; plane. And after three years, I was praying one day (when) the Holy Ghost said, ‘If the trumpet sounds now, you won’t go to heaven.’”

So, the Almighty Suleiman cross-examined God, asking, “Why?” To which God said, “Because of unforgiveness.” The fearless Suleiman looked at his God in the face and thundered, “Father, are you aware what they did to me!?” That was godson Suleiman arrogantly questioning his godhead, sounding as if he was ready to crush his God, like David crushed Goliath, should the private jet exchange degenerate into a brawl.

Using what I propound as CCTV Theory – Conflict, Capture, Trial and Victim manipulative techniques – Suleiman subtly uses CONFLICT to CAPTURE the minds of his audience, preaching stoicism and courage in the face of TRIAL, with the VICTIM card firmly in his breast pocket.

He uses the CCTV Theory in many of his preachings, though at varying degrees. In the fabricated scenario painted above, Suleiman, knowing the penchant of humans for the dramatic, sets up a phantom CONFLICT between himself and his anonymous aviation services company, using the CONFLICT to CAPTURE his listeners’ minds before taking them on the road of TRIAL, with him being the VICTIM. Wow! Take a bow, Apostle Johnson Suleiman, GCFR, CCTV!

It’s not in every situation that Suleiman is the victim, I must clarify. In the private jet issue, for instance, the nameless aviation engineering services company was also a victim, like Suleiman himself was.

Archbishop Tunde Odesola doesn’t need Apostle Johnson Suleiman’s type of anointing to know that the plane in question was Tokunbo. If I was a fraudulent Man of Dog, I would have dressed up in a tight-fitting Safari suit, raised my shoulders up like a male peacock on heat, walked the length of the pulpit like a cocky cat, and swore it was the Holy Ghost who revealed to me the plane was Tokunbo.

But anyone with a mustard-size brain functioning in their skull knows that a three-month-old brand-new plane would not need servicing/repairs within the first three months of purchase if it was used for private purposes because if death didn’t snatch the male hero of a family, the Yoruba say a woman would not be named ‘Kumolu’.

Like the Boeing 737 MAX airliners, which were grounded in 2019 by America’s Federal Aviation Administration, following the discovery of a systemic fault, an aeroplane can be recalled or grounded by government authorities or its manufacturers over safety concerns. The late Professor of African Literature, Pius Adesanmi, died in an Ethiopian Airlines’ Boeing 737 MAX plane, which crashed in Addis Ababa airport a few minutes after take-off.

Boeing, according to a CNN report, “has lost $32 billion since 2019, with no end in sight,” but still enjoys a unique duopoly of being one of the only two manufacturers of full-size passenger jets in high demand by airlines. The other company is the Airbus. The CNN report published on May 3, 2024, submits that despite the duopoly, the market is shrinking for Boeing, tracing the airline manufacturer’s downturn to safety concerns over their airliners.

The statement by Suleiman that every part of an aircraft must be changed yearly, ‘whether you use the aircraft or you don’t use it’, is the type of lie told to an idiot by a manipulator who says that simultaneous rainfall and sunshine were signs that the tiger was giving birth in the jungle. That was a destiny-discouraging lamba told to a congregation whose majority have never seen an aircraft in their lives. That was wicked.

It’s true there are Life-Limited Parts (LLPs) in plane servicing. According to Essex Aviation, a firm that services and repairs aircraft, an LLP is ‘any part for which a mandatory replacement limit is specified in the type of design, the instructions for Continued Airworthiness, or the maintenance manual’. But trust Suleiman to tighten the noose by creating an air of overbearing opulence to CAPTURE the minds of his congregation, deliberately misleading them by saying all the parts of a plane need changing during yearly servicing. How can you change ALL the parts of a plane during yearly service? Mark you, plane servicing entails basic routine procedures such as oil change and checks on vital components.

The Nigerian mentality of corruption in private and public business conduct must have thoroughly messed Suleiman’s mind up that he thinks an aviation company could seize his aeronautical toy deploying underhand tactics typical of the Alaba International Market trader who wants to force a commodity on the shopper. He wants his followers to believe that his Tokunbo plane (not brand new) was super special and that some people were envious of it like kids on a playground envy their bicycle-owning playmate, saying, ‘má a gbé kèké e lo, aò bá e seré mó.

I laugh in Ijesa. It was after wasting three years that the Apostle realised he had a God who can shut down the plane-withholding company. Three long years of waste and gnashing of teeth. Has Suleiman forgotten what the Lord Jesus said to the unproductive tree He saw by the roadside? Matthew 21:19 narrates the account, “Seeing a fig tree by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then He said to it, May you never bear fruit again’. Immediately, the tree withered.” And Suleiman’s plane wasted away unproductively for three years.

In another tragic lie, Suleiman De Aposteli performed a miracle in his church, where worshippers received miracle alerts of huge dollar deposits in their accounts. For me, it’s not only the shamelessness of the lies that rankles, it’s the concoction of the lies, its rehearsal and the audacity to come forward and present it to the public that is nauseating.

Talented singer, Portable, gleefully calls himself a Madman. The world hails with because the name is from the heart. Besides his madness, however, there are two other areas of tremendous improvement in the life of Portable. They’re his imbecility and nauseating nature. I wish he joins these two – Imbecile and Nauseating – to the Madman appellation he proudly bears to generate the acronym MIN.

But why won’t Portable slap the unknown cleric when transactional gospel, manipulation, corruption and filthiness are the burnt offerings offered on the altars of most popular clerics nationwide?

MORE FROM THE AUTHOR: OPINION: The Bile In Oshiomhole’s Heart

I went to St Paul Primary School, Idi Oro, Lagos State. The railway track from the Ido Terminus passed beside my school to Mushin, Oshodi, Agege to Abeokuta, Ibadan, Osogbo…

One day, I was walking back home in the rain with my classmate, Boye Ogunrinumi. We loved walking on the rail track because we believed it made the journey faster. Above the din of the rain, I heard the blast of the small, one-coach train we called ‘Olómo Ku’ya’.

I looked back in time to catch a glimpse of the train hurtling down behind us. I jumped sideways and landed on the grey pebbles. I was badly hurt; I had broken a bone or two and couldn’t get up. I looked out for my friend. I couldn’t find him, I called his name many times to be doubly sure, what stared me in the face was horrible. Boye had been run over by the heartless train. And it didn’t stop.

Shivering and vomiting in the rain, I began to cry, my body bleeding and aching as I watched the mess of grounded meat and blood Boye had become. But his bag escaped. I cried.

All of a sudden, before my very eyes, in the rain, the grounded meat and blood and bones came together, like it does happen in Tom and Jerry cartoons, first forming Boye’s skeleton, and flesh covered up the skeleton and I had boye back beside me, walking on the same track back home as we sang, “We’re a Chosen, who are you?”

If members of the Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Ministries think they have a monopoly of false testitimonies, they’re kidding. I challenge them to an open contest.

Watching the videos of the Founder, Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry, Effurun, Delta State, Jeremiah Fufeyin, I clearly saw the difference between profit and prophet though the two have the same pronuncation. Fufeyin’s miracles are the Pro Max version of Suleiman’s. They are false, tragic, vicious and repulsive.

Fufeyin is already down on all fours, there’s no point beating down a ‘Man of God’ whose commercialised miracle items, NAFDAC alleged, bore fake NAFDAC registration numbers. That was a criminal offence. I eagerly await the day NAFDAC will araign Fufeyin and his cohorts in court.

I have a word of caution for those who bought the River Jordan miracle water. I’ve been to River Jordan many years ago, it’s a smelly river – owing to pollution. If the miracle water sold to you doesn’t smell, it’s fake.

In Nigeria, Christianity and Islam have been turned into cash cows by some men of God. Sad.

Step-by-step Guide On How To Register For 2026 UTME

Published

12 minutes ago

December 8, 2025

Editor

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board has released a detailed guide for candidates preparing to register for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

This is as the board outlines the required steps, important warnings, and common challenges encountered during profile code generation.

The update was published on the Board’s official X handle on Sunday.

In the announcement, JAMB emphasised that candidates must ensure all personal information—especially those linked to the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC)—are accurate before registration begins.

Profile Code Generation
“Ensure your details on NIMC and others, i.e., O’Level/A-Level results, are the same. Send: NIN (leave one space) your 11-digit NIN number to 55019 or 66019. For example, NIN 00000011111 to 55019/66019,” it stated.

JAMB further warned that once a profile code is generated, it cannot be changed, as the candidate’s biodata is automatically retrieved from NIMC’s database.

Here is the step-by-step registration procedure.
The Board outlined the following steps:

1. Visit an approved centre:

Candidates are to proceed to the nearest JAMB office or an accredited CBT centre to begin registration.

2. E-PIN vending:

Candidates should only purchase e-PINs from authorised channels such as banks, approved vendors, and recognised online platforms.

3. Use the correct template:

JAMB stressed: “Ensure that you are given the correct registration template to fill out.”

4. Final submission:

All applicants must cross-check and confirm every detail before final submission at the centre.

Important Tips for Candidates
JAMB also issued several precautionary guidelines:

1. Candidates should make all necessary corrections with NIMC early (name, date of birth, gender, state of origin) and confirm that the updates reflect on their NIMC portal.

2. GSM numbers and email addresses used for registration are unique identifiers—they must be functional, correct, and not shared.

3. Candidates experiencing biometric issues must visit the nearest JAMB office.

4. A dual-screen system must be used during registration so candidates can verify their photographs and biometric data in real time.

Common Challenges in Profile Code Generation, Solution

JAMB also addressed the most frequent errors students face:

1. “Record Not Found”

Solution: Visit the nearest NIMC office for validation.

2. “Wrong Parameter”

This means the message format was incorrect.

Solution: Resend using the correct format: NIN 00000011111.

3. “Your NIN has already been registered with GSM number…”

This indicates a previous profile code request.

Solution: Retrieve the SIM card originally used and resend the request.

4. “Unable to verify your NIN at the moment [NIMC: UNKNOWN]”

Solution: Wait and try again later.

The 2026 JAMB UTME form will be on sale from January to March 2026.

Why My Lineage Qualifies Me For Awujale Throne — K1 De-Ultimate

Published

December 8, 2025

Editor

Legendary Fuji musician, Wasiu Ayinde, popularly known as K1 De-Ultimate, has slammed critics questioning his lineage and his intention to become the next Awujale of Ijebuland.

K1 also said it was his right to take over the vacant stool while performing on stage at an event on Sunday.

During his performance, the popular musician invoked the spirit of the late Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Adetona, to intercede in the controversial claim of his lineage.

According to him, the lineage began raising a dust after he declared his interest in contesting for the vacant stool of the revered Awujale.

Citing his erstwhile titles, including Olori Omo-Oba Akile Ijebu (the leader of Ijebuland princes), bestowed on him by the late monarch, Ayinde revealed that the king was not a covetous person and he did not buy his way to get the title.

He said, “I am from the fidipotemole in Ijebu Ode, It is the same me that is also from the Fusegbunwa of Ijebu-Ode, if you are then questioning my lineage at this point, we will meet at Popo. If it is because of the kingship I am vying for, it is my right, you can’t shut me up.

“Late Kabiesi Awujale, Oba Adetona was of sound mind when he bestowed on me the title of Olori Omo-Oba if I’m not from a royal lineage. Awujale is not a covetous person; I therefore invoke your spirit to please reveal what is hidden to the people. They want to cover up the truth.”

Popo, as referred to by K1 is a symbolic place in Ijebu-Ode, it is near the palace of the Awujale, and known for its historical kingdom established by the descendants of the Ijebuland.

Recall that the 67-year-old Fuji maestro had declared his intention to vie for the vacant stool of Awujale, citing that he would bring a rare combination of cultural influence, national recognition, and political connections to a succession process closely watched across Yorubaland.

According to a now-circulating letter dated December 3, 2025, addressed to the Chairman of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House, his candidacy is formally guided by the provisions of Ijebu customary law and the Ogun State Chieftaincy Laws.

“I, Otunba Wasiu Ayinde Adewale Olasunkanmi Omogbolahan Anifowoshe, MON, hereby formally notify the Fusengbuwa Ruling House of my intention to be considered for the vacant stool of the Awujale of Ijebuland, subject strictly to the provisions of Ijebu customary law and the Ogun State Chieftaincy Laws,” the letter partly read.

K1 emphasised his ancestry as a key qualification, citing his royal lineage.

”I was born on 3rd March, 1957, and I am bona fide son of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House of Agunsebi Quarters, tracing my ancestry to the Oba Jadiara lineage, which qualifies me to present myself for consideration in accordance with established tradition,” he wrote.

The Oba Jadiara lineage is a historic branch of the Fusengbuwa Ruling House, which has the exclusive right to present candidates for the Awujale stool according to rotational custom. (https://punchng.com/explainer-why-kwam-1-wants-the-awujale-throne/)

However, in a twist of turn, the Fusengbuwa ruling house of Ijebu-Ode directed K1 to prove his legitimate membership of the ruling house, following his declaration to fill the vacant stool of Awujale of Ijebuland.

With this, the popular musician, who is the Olori Omooba of Ijebuland, is expected to complete the family’s royal lineage data form to establish his legitimate membership of the ruling house.

The Chairman of the ruling house, Abdulateef Owoyemi, stated that only bona fide members of the family would be allowed to participate in the selection process of the next Awujale.

In the letter, which went viral on social media on Friday, the Fuji icon described himself as a bona fide son” of the ruling house, adding that his candidacy aligns with Ijebu customary law and the Ogun State Chieftaincy Laws.

Owoyemi said the Olori Omooba of Ijebu land had been directed to complete the Fusengbuwa ruling house royal lineage data form.

He stressed that the form, which requires contenders to trace their genealogy back seven generations, ensures that only genuine princes from the family can participate, thereby blocking “strangers” from claiming the throne.

FG Offered 4,000 Pregnant Women Free C-section – Report

Published

December 8, 2025

Editor

No fewer than 4,000 pregnant women across Nigeria have received free caesarean sections under the National Health Insurance programme, marking one of the most remarkable gains recorded through the Maternal and Neonatal Mortality Reduction Innovation Initiative.

This is according to the 2025 health statistics report released by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare.

The surgeries, fully subsidised and conducted in designated facilities, form part of a broader national push to reduce preventable maternal and newborn deaths and strengthen frontline health systems.

Launched in November 2024, MAMII is designed to reduce maternal deaths by 30 per cent and neonatal deaths by 20 per cent in 172 high-burden local government areas across the country.

The initiative deploys a suite of targeted, context-specific measures that focus on governance, accountability, community demand creation, skilled service delivery, and improved financing and performance management.

Since commencement, the programme has identified the major drivers of mortality in these LGAs and has begun implementing tailored solutions to address them.

“MAMII has achieved significant progress in strengthening Nigeria’s health system response to maternal and neonatal mortality. One hundred and eighty-six LGAs have developed context-specific costed work plans using the national comprehensive implementation guide to improve antenatal care attendance; over 400,000 pregnant women have been line-listed, with the number of referrals on the National Emergency Medical Services and Ambulance System increased from 86 to 32,711, with 4,000 caesarean sections done at no cost to the pregnant women enrolled under the National Health Insurance programme.

“Lifesaving maternal, newborn and child health commodities have been distributed to over 500 facilities, and emergency transport systems have been activated in LGAs in 12 states. Early data trends show increased facility and antenatal attendance as well as skilled birth attendance.

“The gains made so far can be attributed to significant efforts by LGAs, states, and the Federal teams,” the report read partly.

The report noted that across the 172 LGAs, progress has been significant, as a total of 435 health facilities have been revitalised, while 729,724 women booked their first ANC visit before 20 weeks of pregnancy, and 794,205 women completed their fourth ANC visit.

Between the first and third quarters of 2025, the report showed that the LGAs recorded 731,559 deliveries, 21,172 stillbirths, 841 maternal deaths, and 1,245 neonatal deaths.

The health system indicators also show notable improvement. More than half (52 per cent) of the LGAs now have at least two Level-2 facilities, while 78 per cent have a Primary Health Centre in every ward under the Basic Health Care Provision Fund.

It added that there has been a 17 per cent reduction in maternal deaths and a 12 per cent reduction in newborn deaths in the intervention areas.

According to the report, 25 per cent of BHCPF facilities are linked to the SEMSAS/NEMSAS referral system, which has already processed 7,451 completed referrals.

The report also revealed that only 12 per cent of BHCPF facilities have at least two midwives, even as 47 per cent of LGAs have been equipped with heat-stable carbectocin, a key drug for preventing postpartum haemorrhage.

Meanwhile, 20 per cent of BHCPF facilities have at least one laboratory technician. To support community-level interventions, 411,296 women have been line-listed across the 172 LGAs for closer follow-up.

Despite the gains, the report stated that significant gaps remain.

“The key gaps identified include that many LGAs lack sufficient community health workers for household-level tracking and demand creation, and inadequate numbers of functional designated Basic and Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care facilities.

“Emergency transport services are still limited in coverage, with delayed driver payments and weak digital systems. Similarly, Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response implementation remains weak across facilities in the 172 LGAs, and delays in the release of funds under the annual Operational Plans threaten continuity,” it stated.

To consolidate progress and sustain reductions in maternal and newborn mortality, experts recommend prioritising community health system strengthening and fully scaling functional BEmONC and CEmONC facilities.

“To sustain the continuous reduction in maternal and newborn deaths, stakeholders must prioritise strengthening community health systems, scaling BEmONC and CEmONC facilities, ensuring full functionality of emergency transport services, and institutionalising MPDSR in a timely manner, as these are critical to sustaining impact.

“With continued high-level coordination and the expansion of global best practices, MAMII can catalyse Nigeria’s progress toward reducing preventable maternal and neonatal deaths,” it added.
