Chef Dammy’s pastor, Pastor Adegoke sues her for 20 million Naira for slander
Chef Dammy’s pastor, Pastor Adegoke, has sued her for 20 million Naira for defamation of character.
Pastor Adegoke claims that Chef Dammy’s statements on social media have damaged his reputation.
The controversy began when Chef Dammy expressed concerns about her personal safety and indirectly implicated Pastor Adegoke.
Chef Dammy had previously appeared on a cookathon organized by Pastor Adegoke,
but their relationship became strained after the event.
According to reports, Chef Dammy’s freedom was restricted after the cookathon.
Her phone and ATM card were reportedly held by the event organizers,
and she was unable to contact her friends and family through phone calls or social media messages.
Chef Dammy has said that she felt confined and wanted to return to her previous life,
where she had more personal freedom.
She has also said that she was hesitant to participate in the cookathon in the first place,
but Pastor Adegoke strongly urged her to do so.
The situation escalated when Chef Dammy and her family declined to participate in a subsequent cookathon.
Chef Dammy also transferred 700,000 Naira to her family members.
This financial transaction appears to have been a turning point in the dispute between Chef Dammy and Pastor Adegoke.
The case is still ongoing, and it remains to be seen how it will be resolved.
However, the drama between Chef Dammy and Pastor Adegoke has highlighted
the importance of being careful about what you say on social media,
especially when it comes to making accusations against others.
Pastor Femi Lazarus’s advice to women about phone access in marriage has sparked a lively debate, garnering both support and criticism.
The video has generated various reactions, with many
expressing concerns about privacy invasion and control.
Some women pointed out the double standards inherent in the advice,
highlighting that men often have access to their wives’ private spaces without offering reciprocity.
Others questioned the need for phone access and emphasized the
importance of focusing on building trust and communication.
Pastor Lazarus’s statement sparked a vital conversation
about trust, privacy, and boundaries in marriage.
While some individuals find his advice helpful,
others express concerns about potential harm and control.
Ultimately, each couple must navigate this issue based
on their unique values, needs, and communication style.
Open and honest discussions, mutual trust,
and respect are crucial for building a healthy and fulfilling marriage,
regardless of phone access policies.

Video: “What Kind Of God Is That?”- Nigerian Prophet Calls Out Church Members Over Inadequate Offerings
A Nigerian prophet has sparked outrage online after calling out church members for offering “inadequate” amounts of money.
In a viral video, the prophet, whose name has not been released,
can be seen passionately addressing his congregation,
expressing his disappointment with their offering habits.
“What kind of God do you serve?” he questions.
“Do you think God is satisfied with the little coins you throw into the offering basket?”
He goes on to compare the church members’ offerings to the wealth
they spend on material possessions like expensive cars and smartphones.
“You can afford to buy the latest iPhone, but you can’t afford to give God a decent offering?” he exclaims.
His words have ignited a heated debate on social media,
with some people agreeing with his sentiment and others criticizing his approach.
Those who support the prophet’s message argue that church
members should be more generous in their giving,
especially considering the financial resources they possess.
“If you truly believe in God and appreciate all that he has done for you,
then your offerings should reflect that,” one commenter wrote.
However, others believe that the prophet’s method of shaming and guilt-tripping his
congregation is counterproductive and may even drive people away from the church.
“This is not the way to encourage people to give,” another commenter stated.
“It’s important to teach people about the importance of giving,
but it should be done in a way that is positive and uplifting.”
The prophet’s actions have also raised concerns about the role of money in religious institutions.
Some people believe that churches should focus on spiritual matters
rather than emphasizing financial contributions.

The Shepherd-in-charge of the Celestial Church of Christ International Headquarters in Ketu, Lagos State, Olatosho Oshoffa,
has condemned the invitation extended to singers Portable and
Pasuma to perform at one of the church branch’s praise nights.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Oshoffa stated that the decision to invite the two singers
was “inconsistent with the tenets and doctrines of the Celestial Church of Christ.”
He noted that Portable and Pasuma are known for their controversial lifestyles and music,
which he said are “not in line with the teachings of the church.”
“The Celestial Church of Christ is a spiritual organization, and we cannot allow our sacred spaces
to be used for performances that are not in line with our beliefs,” Oshoffa said.
“I have spoken to the cleric in charge of the parish where the praise night is scheduled to take place,
and he has assured me that the invitation to Portable and Pasuma has been revoked.”
The decision to stop Portable and Pasuma from performing at the praise night has been met
with mixed reactions from members of the Celestial Church of Christ.
Some members have praised Oshoffa for taking a stand against what they see as “unholy” performances.
Others have criticized the decision, saying that it is an infringement on the freedom of worship.
Regardless of the reactions, it is clear that Oshoffa’s decision
has sparked a debate about the role of music in the Celestial Church of Christ.
