How I Sold Limousine Gifted To Me To Buy Motorcycles For My Pastors – Pastor Adeboye

Wale busari03 mins

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has recounted an emotional testimony about how he handled expensive gifts during the early days of his ministry. Speaking at a church thanksgiving service, the respected cleric recalled his shock after an elderly woman gifted him a Mercedes-Benz at a time when he was still commuting by bus. “I almost said, ‘Alakoba wo le leyi?’ I hope this one is not trying to get me into trouble,” Pastor Adeboye said, explaining his initial suspicion and disbelief over the unexpected gift. Unsure of what to do with the luxury car, he revealed that he parked it and avoided using it altogether. However, his hesitation was soon addressed in a divine encounter. According to him, God rebuked him in a dream for rejecting the woman’s generosity. “Why are you robbing my daughter of her blessing? She sowed a seed, and you are not allowing the seed to germinate,” Pastor Adeboye quoted God as saying. Obeying the instruction, the RCCG leader said he gave the car to his late deputy, Pastor Abiodun, despite being encouraged to keep and enjoy it himself. He further revealed that shortly after giving away the vehicle, he received three more Mercedes-Benz cars, an experience he described as astonishing and faith-building. While still contemplating what to do with the new gifts, Pastor Adeboye narrated another extraordinary moment when a man arrived at his house around 2:00 a.m. in a rare six-door Mercedes limousine, claiming God instructed him to deliver it immediately. “I said to God, ‘Even if I die and they put me in this car, I will wake up. Will you permit me to sell the car?’” he recalled. After praying and receiving divine approval, Pastor Adeboye said he sold the luxury vehicle and used the proceeds to support ministry work. “I remember I sold it and used the money to buy motorcycles for my pastors,” he concluded. The testimony drew emotional reactions from congregants, highlighting lessons on obedience, generosity, and divine timing in ministry.

Obama Breaks Silence After Trump Video Controversy

Obama Breaks Silence After Trump Video Controversy

Wale busari03 mins

Former United States President Barack Obama has made his first public statement following a controversial video shared by President Donald Trump that depicted him and his wife, Michelle Obama, as apes. The video, which was posted on Trump’s Truth Social platform on Friday, sparked widespread backlash and accusations of racism before it was eventually deleted. Despite the uproar, Obama made no reference to the incident in his public response. Instead, the 44th U.S. president chose to focus on a more uplifting subject, offering words of encouragement to Team USA as the 2026 Winter Olympics officially kicked off. In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, Obama wrote: “To all the athletes representing @TeamUSA: I’m so proud of you. Your talent and perseverance have brought you to this moment, and Michelle and I will be joining Americans from across the country cheering you on.” The decision to avoid addressing the video directly has been interpreted by many as a deliberate attempt to rise above the controversy and redirect attention toward national unity and athletic achievement. Meanwhile, reactions to the video continue to reverberate in political circles. Trump has faced sharp criticism from political figures and commentators, while Pastor Mark Burns, a known Trump ally, claimed the president told him he did not personally post the video. According to Burns, the post was allegedly shared by a member of Trump’s staff. Despite the clarification, critics argue that the imagery echoed long-standing racist tropes, intensifying scrutiny of Trump’s social media conduct. As the controversy simmers, Obama’s response — or lack thereof — underscores a familiar approach from the former president: choosing restraint and redirecting public attention toward broader, positive national moments rather than engaging in political firestorms.

Diddy’s Appeal Court Date Fast-Tracked to April

Wale busari02 mins

Sean “Diddy” Combs is preparing to formally present his appeal in court following a major legal breakthrough that could significantly speed up the process. The Bad Boy Records founder, who is currently serving a four-year prison sentence over felony charges linked to sex crimes, has secured approval for an accelerated appellate review, allowing his appeal to move forward much sooner than is typical in federal cases. According to AllHipHop, a federal appellate judge has signed off on an expedited schedule, clearing the path for oral arguments to be heard within the next few months. The appeal process, which often stretches up to 18 months, has been dramatically compressed at the request of Diddy’s legal team. Court documents indicate that proceedings are now expected to begin on April 9, although the precise timetable remains subject to adjustments as both the prosecution and defence finalize and exchange their written briefs. Despite the fast-tracking, Diddy’s projected release date remains May 8, 2028, unless the appeal leads to a reduction or reversal of his sentence. Still, the development marks a crucial moment in the embattled music mogul’s legal battle, giving him his first real opportunity to challenge the conviction before an appellate bench. As the case moves closer to oral arguments, attention will now turn to the strength of Diddy’s legal strategy and whether the accelerated process could alter the trajectory of one of the most high-profile celebrity cases in recent years

Mbappé Sends Bailiff to PSG Over €5.9m Unpaid Settlement

Mbappé Sends Bailiff to PSG Over €5.9m Unpaid Settlement

Wale busari04 mins

Kylian Mbappé has escalated his financial dispute with Paris Saint-Germain, sending a bailiff to the club to formally demand the outstanding €5.9 million owed to him by his former employers. The Ligue 1 giants had previously been ordered by a judge in December 2025 to pay Mbappé a total of €60.9 million, following a contractual settlement. While PSG have already paid €55 million, the remaining €5.9 million—relating to paid leave and accrued interest—is yet to be settled. The formal demand was issued on Friday, giving PSG an eight-day deadline to clear the balance. Should the club fail to comply within the stipulated period, Mbappé would be entitled to instruct his legal team to initiate court-ordered seizure of funds directly from PSG’s accounts. The latest development adds another chapter to the increasingly strained relationship between the French superstar and his former club, months after his high-profile departure from Paris. Away from the legal wrangling, Mbappé has also been dealing with frustration on the pitch following Real Madrid’s 4–2 Champions League defeat to Benfica, a result that complicated Los Blancos’ hopes of finishing in the competition’s top eight. Speaking after the loss, the France captain delivered a blunt assessment of his team’s performance, questioning their mentality rather than their quality. “It isn’t about quality, and it isn’t about tactics,” Mbappé said. “It’s about having more desire than your opponent. You could see everything was on the line for Benfica, and you couldn’t see that for us, and that’s a problem.” He added that Real’s inconsistency is becoming a worrying trend. “We aren’t being consistent in our play. A team of champions doesn’t do that. We can’t play well one day and not the next.” Mbappé also lamented Real Madrid’s failure to secure a top-eight finish, which would have reduced their Champions League workload. “We had a clear goal of finishing in the top eight to have two fewer games and lighten the load, but we started very poorly,” he said. “If they had gone into halftime 5–1 up, it wouldn’t have surprised anyone.” Real Madrid bounced back domestically with a 2–1 victory over Rayo Vallecano at the weekend, with Mbappé scoring a dramatic 100th-minute penalty to secure all three points. However, the forward admitted the Benfica defeat still “hurts,” as the club now faces additional playoff matches instead of a more relaxed February schedule. As Mbappé continues to push for the final portion of his settlement from PSG, both his legal battle off the pitch and leadership role at Real Madrid remain firmly in the spotlight.

Arteta Apologises to Chelsea Boss Rosenior After Touchline Dispute

EPL: Arteta Apologises to Chelsea Boss Rosenior After Touchline Dispute

Wale busari04 mins

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has apologised to Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior following a pre-match disagreement over pitch encroachment ahead of their League Cup semi-final second leg on Tuesday, February 11. The incident occurred during the warm-up before kickoff, after members of Arsenal’s technical staff were seen entering Chelsea’s half of the pitch. Rosenior visibly objected, insisting they return to their designated area, and later voiced his frustration despite Arsenal’s 1–0 victory, which sealed a 4–2 aggregate win and booked their place in the final. Speaking after the match, Rosenior said he felt the situation disrupted Chelsea’s preparations and momentarily crossed a line of respect. “I’ve never asked my team or coaches to encroach on the opposition’s territory,” he said. “I didn’t think it was right where they were operating; it affected our warm-up. I asked them to stay in their half. I have a lot of respect for Mikel, but in that moment, I didn’t think that respect was shown to my team.” Addressing the issue ahead of Arsenal’s upcoming Premier League clash against Sunderland, Arteta acknowledged the complaint and offered an apology, stressing there was no intention to disrespect Chelsea. “It’s his opinion, and we respect everybody,” Arteta said. “If at any point one of the staff members did that, we apologise. It’s very common in football, especially with goalkeepers needing to kick long balls.” With the win, Arsenal progressed to the League Cup final, where they will face Manchester City on March 22. Arteta’s side now shifts focus back to the Premier League, holding a six-point lead at the top of the table ahead of a crucial away fixture against Liverpool. Despite growing title talk, Arteta remained cautious, insisting his attention is firmly on the next challenge. “We are far from that,” he said. “Sunderland have been on an incredible run all season. We know how complex the match will be. It’s another opportunity to win and improve our position.” Arsenal remain active in four competitions this season as they continue their push for a first major trophy since lifting the FA Cup in 2020.

Morocco Coach Regragui Tenders Resignation After AFCON Final Defeat

Morocco Coach Regragui Tenders Resignation After AFCON Final Defeat

Wale busari02 mins

Morocco’s head coach, Walid Regragui, has reportedly submitted his resignation to the Royal Moroccan Football Federation following the Atlas Lions’ narrow loss to Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations final. According to Morocco World News, Regragui is said to be mentally and physically drained after an intense tournament. With preparations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup already underway, the pressure of continuous high-level competition is believed to have contributed to his decision. Local reports indicate that the Moroccan Football Federation has not accepted the resignation and is actively trying to persuade the 49-year-old coach to remain in charge. Should he eventually step down, Regragui is expected to attract interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League. Although born in France, Regragui represented Morocco during his playing career, turning out for clubs such as Toulouse, AC Ajaccio, Grenoble, and Racing Santander. However, his greatest success has come in management, most notably winning the CAF Champions League with Wydad Casablanca. Widely regarded as the most successful head coach in Morocco’s history, Regragui came agonisingly close to ending the nation’s long wait for international silverware, with the AFCON final defeat leaving them just one penalty away from their first major trophy since 1976. Since his appointment in 2022, Regragui has overseen a golden era for Moroccan football, leading the Atlas Lions to a historic fourth-place finish at the 2022 World Cup and an impressive run at AFCON 2025, further cementing his legacy despite the recent setback.

White House Defends Trump After Backlash Over Video Featuring Obamas As Monkeys

White House Defends Trump After Backlash Over Video Featuring Obamas As Monkeys

Wale busari04 mins

The White House has responded to mounting criticism after President Donald Trump shared a video on Truth Socialthat briefly depicted former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama as apes. The 62-second clip, which centers on claims of irregularities in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, includes a fleeting scene near the end where the Obamas’ faces appear superimposed on ape-like figures dancing to “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” The imagery appears for roughly one second and carries a watermark linked to a pro-Trump account on X. The post quickly sparked outrage, with critics pointing out that portraying Black public figures as primates is a long-standing racist trope. California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the video, calling it “disgusting behavior” and urging Republicans to denounce it. Advocacy group Republicans Against Trump also criticised the post, describing it as racially offensive. In response, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the backlash, though she did not directly address accusations of racial insensitivity. In a statement, she said the video was part of an internet meme portraying Trump as the “King of the Jungle,” with Democrats cast as characters from The Lion King universe. “This is fake outrage,” Leavitt said, urging critics to focus on issues she said matter more to Americans. She further pointed to a longer version of the video posted last year by the same account, which features various political figures represented as different animals, including Kamala Harris, Hakeem Jeffries, and Whoopi Goldberg, while Trump is depicted as a lion. Trump’s social media activity has frequently attracted controversy. He was banned from Facebook and X following the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, later launching Truth Social as an alternative platform. His accounts on major platforms were subsequently restored. The video was shared alongside renewed claims by Trump alleging widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden, despite multiple investigations finding no evidence to support such claims. In the clip, a cybersecurity commentator alleges coordinated vote-counting pauses and the manipulation of voting machines in favor of Biden. Trump reposted the video twice, and despite its brief appearance, the Obamas’ portrayal has continued to fuel online debate, with critics accusing the president of promoting racially charged imagery, while the White House maintains the criticism is overblown.

Japan To Restart World’s Largest Nuclear Plant After Alarm Glitch

Wale busari03 mins

Japan is set to restart the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power plant next week, marking the first time a Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO)-operated reactor will return to service since the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster. The restart follows a brief shutdown caused by a technical issue during an earlier attempt. Speaking at a press conference on Friday, plant chief Takeyuki Inagaki confirmed that the reactor is scheduled to be powered up on February 9. The facility was initially restarted on January 21, but operations were halted the next day after an alarm was triggered in the monitoring system. Inagaki explained that the alert was due to incorrect settings, which caused the system to react to harmless fluctuations in electrical current. According to him, the problem has now been corrected, and the reactor is safe to operate. Commercial electricity generation is expected to begin on or after March 18, subject to the completion of another safety inspection. The Kashiwazaki-Kariwa plant, regarded as the largest nuclear power station in the world by capacity, has remained dormant for over a decade following Japan’s nationwide nuclear shutdown after the Fukushima earthquake and tsunami. Only one of the plant’s seven reactors is included in the current restart plan. The move aligns with Japan’s renewed push toward nuclear energy as part of efforts to cut fossil fuel use, meet growing electricity demands — including those driven by artificial intelligence technologies — and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. However, the decision remains controversial at the local level. A survey conducted by Niigata prefecture in September showed that around 60 percent of residents oppose the restart, while 37 percent support it. Critics point to seismic risks, noting the plant’s location near an active fault line and its history of being impacted by a major earthquake in 2007. In January, opponents submitted a petition containing nearly 40,000 signatures urging authorities to halt the restart.
