"AMERICA IS TRYING TO STEAL OUR NATURAL RESOURCES; THERE IS NO CHRISTIAN GENOCIDE IN NIGERIA". - DEEPER CHRISTIAN LIFE MINISTRY DEEPLY CONDEMNS THE FALSE REPORT WITH THE ABOVE HEADLINES ATTRIBUTED TO PASTOR KUMUYI | #RWGBLOG

Image
OFFICIAL STATEMENT FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE   The Deeper Christian Life Ministry @dclmhq condemns in the strongest terms the malicious and entirely false news report circulated by a faceless platform which goes by the name of “Ibomfocus”   The story with the headline: "America is Trying to Steal our Natural Resources; There is No Christian Genocide in Nigeria, says Pastor Kumuyi" is a total fabrication and the figment of the imagination of its authors.   Pastor Kumuyi did not at any time address a press conference or make the aforementioned statement in Lagos. He has been away from Nigeria for a considerable length of time, holding programmes in the Oceania region and the Far East.   Besides, Pastor Kumuyi is well known for focusing entirely on preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. He does not dabble into politics, as the false story mentioned above seemed to suggest.   The Ministry warns all those bent on mischief by seeking to drag our General Superin...

A car hire operator has accused Nollywood actress Regina Daniels of owing him ₦570,000 after allegedly using his vehicle and driver for over a week without settling the full payment.  The man said he was contacted about 12 days ago by someone who asked to hire his Toyota Prado to pick up a client in Maitama. He sent his driver, who later informed him the client was Regina Daniels. The initial booking was paid by the third party at ₦150,000 per day for two days (₦300,000 total). “When the two days finished, I told the PA that the payment had ended. They told me to continue and Regina spoke to me herself, saying she would be paying,” he claimed. He said they agreed that fuel would be deducted daily from the fee. “I told her I don’t have fuel money, so every day she pays ₦30k for fuel from the ₦150k and my balance becomes ₦120k. That’s how we worked for 9–10 days, even at night,” he explained. The issue reportedly arose when Regina Daniels and her team were traveling throu...
