CHRISTMAS IS UNBIBLICAL - PASTOR WILLIAMS FOLORUNSHO KUMUYI


Pastor William Folorunsho Kumuyi, General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry, has once again clarified the church’s stance on Christmas. 

He emphasized that since the ministry’s inception, they have never organized a Christmas retreat, instead holding what they call a “December retreat.” 

According to Pastor Kumuyi, the church does not celebrate Christmas because it originates from what he describes as an idolatrous background. 

He asserted that any attempt to introduce elements associated with the so-called “mystery Babylon” into the church, including Christmas, is strictly rejected, reaffirming that the practice is unbiblical.

"OIL DEAL" MOVIE: PRODUCER KENNY READY TO UNCOVER HIDDEN REALITIES OF NIGER DELTA OIL POLITICS

Image
Oil Deal Movie was created to expose this painful reality—to tell the untold story of environmental injustice, broken promises, and the human cost of greed. The film asks a critical question that still lingers today: What was once a blessing has become a burden for the people of Ogoni in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. Rich in oil deposits—often called “black gold”—the land initially promised prosperity and development. Instead, decades of oil exploration and exploitation transformed fertile soil into a poisoned environment and peaceful communities into zones of suffering. Rivers that once provided drinking water and sustained fishing livelihoods became polluted and unsafe. Farmlands were destroyed, crops failed, and hunger spread across the region. As pollution deepened, residents began to experience strange illnesses, unexplained deaths, and a steady decline in quality of life. When the people demanded justice, accountability, and environmental restoration, many voices were allege...

SHEIKH GUMI URGES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO IMMEDIATELY SUSPEND MILITARY OPERATIONS WITH THE U.S. AFTER REPORTED AIRSTRIKE

Image
Islamic cleric, Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has called on the Federal Government to immediately halt all military cooperation with the United States following reported US airstrikes. Gumi warned that American involvement could worsen Nigeria’s security challenges and undermine national sovereignty. Gumi made the call in a statement posted on his Facebook page on Friday. He said while Islam permits the fight against terrorism, such actions should only be carried out by what he described as “clean hands,” arguing that the United States lacks the moral authority to lead such efforts because of its global military record. According to the cleric, Nigeria made a mistake by allowing foreign powers to play a role in its counterterrorism operations, insisting that “terrorists do not truly fight terrorists” and that such interventions often result in civilian casualties and hidden political motives. Gumi warned that allowing Nigeria to become a theatre of war would attract anti-US forces into...
