Idowu Iluyomade, the former senior pastor of the City of David Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has launched his own church in Lagos named Family Fellowship.

In a video making the rounds online, pastor Idowu was seen with his beloved wife Siju Iluyomade and their church members as they danced and celebrated massively inside the newly built church.

The opening of his own church comes months after pastor Idowu was suspended for three months but he resigned afterwards.

A senior pastor in the church stated that Iluyomade’s suspension was prompted by public backlash over the lavish birthday party his wife, Siju Iluyomade, hosted shortly after the passing of Herbert Wigwe, a prominent church member and former CEO of Access Bank.

However, his new church’s opening sparked discussions online as social media users shared their thoughts via the comment section. While many congratulated him, some mocked his approach. Some reactions are shown below:

victorogoke said, “All glory to God. Who are we to decide whether he is right or wrong. For me, as long as Jesus is preached and souls are won for Christ, Christ is glorified.”

Popular Nigerian media personality, Chude Jideonwo, has been heavily criticized following his latest podcast episode, which featured controversial actress Lizzy Anjorin.

The episode has sparked disappointment among viewers who felt it failed to meet the usual standard of his show, known for hosting celebrities with inspiring and impactful stories.

During the interview, Jideonwo attempted to explore Lizzy’s long-standing issues with fellow actress Iyabo Ojo. However, Lizzy dismissed the question, stating, “Name shouldn’t be mentioned,” and avoided delving into the topic.

Instead, Lizzy described herself as a business tycoon and a peaceful individual who prefers to let go of issues after expressing her opinions.

The episode was met with widespread ridicule from critics who labeled Lizzy’s appearance as unappealing and a poor choice for the show. Many viewers vowed not to watch the full episode on YouTube, deeming it a waste of time.

Many criticised Jideonwo for inviting Lizzy, with some fans condemning him for what they called a misstep in featuring someone perceived as a “troublemaker.”

While Chude’s platform is celebrated for amplifying life-changing narratives, this episode has left his audience divided, raising questions about the selection process for his guests.

Renowned Isoko highlife musician, Dr. Arube Otor, popularly known as Isoko Fela, has sparked a public fascination with his audacious goal of fathering 32 children as he takes three wives in one day.

The 53-year-old artist, already a father of nine, took a bold step toward his dream by marrying three women in a grand ceremony on Sunday, January 18, 2025, in Uzere, Delta State.

The event, held at the Anglican Church Field London Base in Uzere Kingdom, was a jubilant celebration that welcomed Otor’s three new wives, bringing his total to four.

“I want to have 32 children, and until I realize that dream, I won’t leave this earth,” Otor declared confidently.

Born into a polygamous household, Otor credits his upbringing for his comfort with this lifestyle. “Polygamy was never a problem in our home. We bonded well and still maintain a healthy relationship,” he shared.

To economize, Otor hosted a single reception for his new wives, explaining, “I’ve already paid their bride prices, and we’ve been living together. The event is just a reception. Members of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria will provide music, and refreshments are finalized. It will be a big day.”

He also revealed plans to expand his family further by marrying two more wives soon. Otor emphasized the peaceful dynamic within his household.

“If there’s a dispute, I mediate in the presence of the others so everyone learns from the resolution. My wives are independent; one is a hairdresser, another a caterer, and one a trader,” he noted.

Despite his age, Otor remains confident in his ability to fulfill his marital responsibilities, attributing his vitality to a natural diet.

“I don’t eat rice because it weakens a man. My diet keeps me fit and ready. I visit my wives weekly, and none of them feels neglected,” he explained, adding that he avoids aphrodisiacs entirely.
