Dele Momodu: Bishop Oyedepo is a victim of success

by Dele Momodu Fellow Nigerians, let me confess that I have a soft spot for men of God, especially Pastors. The reason can’t be difficult to fathom. I’m not just a Christian; I had the great privilege of being born by my heavily spiritual mum and dad in an Aladura church in Ile-Ife. That was... Read More

Femi Aribisala: Be warned, Christmas has nothing to do with Jesus

by Femi Aribisala Christmas is no longer about the birth of Christ. Jesus warns that the thief has come to steal, kill and destroy. (John 10:10).
