Since the allegations surfaced on social media, Ronke Odusanya quickly took to social media to deny the claims.

Here is what she shared;

While my silence will be taken for cowardice; I will be calm because the truth always reveals itself.
I can defend myself but I won’t want my daughter to grow up reading such irritating and fact-less information.

The court of social media has always been myopic and manipulative.

“Remember you did not make me, you cannot break me.

Bank statements can reveal who has been receiving money from who and for what.

Investigate before publishing.

For the platform used for peddling such absurdity, seeds sown will surely germinate.”

Mike Bamiloye

Valentine is a sin, against God's will –Cleric BamiloyeMike Bamiloye, the founder of Mount Zion Ministries openly criticized the concept of feminism in a social media post during the week.

According to the clergyman, Feminism is not ideal in a Christian home as it is detrimental to the growth of a family. He mentioned that it would lead to strife in the home.

Read what he opined on social media;

“SOME PASTORS’ WIVES ARE FEMINISTS, Fighting for Equality in their homes and on Pulpits. They have weakened the Foundations of their Husbands’ ministry. And seriously adulterated the Sacredness of their Marriage.”

He continued;

“Some Ministers of God just allow PEACE to reign in their Home; so as not to raise the dust that would sink the Sailing Boat, THE “PEACE” in some Ministers’Homes is a Camouflaged Peace, because the Head of the Home is Submissive and doing everything the Wife insisted you be done.”

“But the Terrible Inherent Danger is that a terrible Seed of Rebellion and Stubbornness is being unconsciously Sown into the Children’s Heart; which would gradually begin to blossom uncontrollably.

ANY MOVEMENT THAT QUESTIONS ANY ASPECT OF THE WORD OF GOD, Originates from the Devil the Hater of The Marriage Instituted by God. #mikebamiloye”

Ric Hassani

Nigerian recording artiste, Ric Hassani revealed in a Twitter post that he was robbed by officers dressed in military fatigue on Friday, February 12.

Ric Hassani made this revelation during the early hours of Saturday, February 13.

Narrating his ordeal on social media, Hassani wrote;

I didn’t want to have to say this, but I got robbed yesterday.

1 pm, Freedom way, broad daylight, by men posing as soldiers.

Entered my car, rough handled my manager; collected our phones, almost snatched my car.

I really didn’t want to have to say this.”

He continued;

“I really didn’t want to have to say anything.

I handled yesterday like nothing happened.

In fact, I like to see these things as beneath me to be honest; Thieves are not meant to move me.

I would buy another phone and move but you, you still would keep having to steal to survive.

Terrible.”

Nigeria is really a ‘wan kain’ place to be honest.

I honestly feel fixing Nigeria will take an insane amount of work that is truly beyond any of us BUT, we should all play our part to really really helping this country, coz it really needs SERIOUS help.

God be with us.”
