The video says a lot about the bride and more about the minister

GistReel Entertainment

Popular catholic priest, Fr. Kelvin Ugwu gives his opinion on the trending saga of actress Ekene Umenwa leaving her husband to kneel to Moses Bliss as he speaks on how preachers these days are making themselves out to be gods. It would be recalled that reactions have been trailing a video of Ekene Umenwa leaving her husband during their wedding ceremony to keel to Moses Bliss when he came to perform at her wedding.

Fr. Kelvin Ugwu. In Father Kelvin’s lengthy view on the matter, he explained that the actress had been out of control with the way she rushed to kneel to the singer. Additionally, he posited that most preachers and clergymen tend to make themselves to be seen like gods by their followers, unlike how it was done in the bible, where apostles were quick to correct such impressions. He wrote … “You must have watched the trending video that portrayed the reaction of the bride at the sight of the gospel musician/minister Moses Bliss who appeared on her wedding day. The Bride, Ekene, was literally out of control at the sight of her supposed idol or “powerful” and “anointed” minister. The Video says a lot about the bride and more about the minister. Yes, a lot of women, and indeed men, are lacking in emotional intelligence, emotional maturity, and emotional control. Some are just overly dramatic. Some women will even join to organize their engagement party, and still act surprised when the man asks “Will you marry me?” But while most of you chose to dwell on the lady’s reaction, what most of you failed to look at is the minister. I will keep saying this, ministers these days make themselves gods and are even excited when they are seen as such. Even in biblical days, people get overly excited about the apostles and disciples, but they were always quick to correct that impression and remind the people that they were ordinary men. In Act 10, Peter visited Cornelius. The man was excited and even fell on his feet, but Peter corrected him immediately. “As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. But Peter made him get up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.” ~ Acts 10: 25-26 Paul and Barnabas after performing great signs among the people, the people were so excited that they concluded that gods had come to them in human form. They came out in numbers to worship Paul and Barnabas, but what did the apostles do? Acts 14: 14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their clothes and ran in among the multitude, crying out 15 and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, and preach to you that you should turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all things that are in them. In the trending video, the minister was busy enjoying the show. When you see something that is not right, correct it immediately. Others will also learn from it. The way the lady was so excited, kneeling and hugging the minister even before her husband, was not supposed to be funny. But this is what happens when ministers make themselves superstars. I kept saying this and someone will come to tell me how I am jealous… The Bible is clear, it says: “So you also, when you have done all that is commanded you, say, ‘We are unworthy servants; we have only done what was our duty.” (Luke 17:10 RSV) #FacebookTelevision” See post below …

GistReel

Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has revealed that the federal government spends N1 million annually to cater for each inmate in correctional facilities across the country.

The Minister also said that the  President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration had, to a large extent, addressed the problem of inmates contracting diseases in custodial centres. He added; “The custodial centres were frighteningly centres for contracting diseases like scabies and tuberculosis, among others. “Happily, this has been addressed by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration and is now a thing of the past. “We not only have well-manned clinics and well-stocked pharmacies, the inmates at the custodial centres now have access to excellent medical care beyond the centres.

“This centre in Port Harcourt, with a capacity for 1,800 inmates, presently houses about 3,067 inmates. This is just a reflection of the situation in most urban custodial centres where we have congestion at the moment. “The facilities and even the personnel are overstretched, but we are coping and providing long-term solutions to this challenge. “One of such solutions is the construction of mega 3,000-capacity custodial villages in six geo-political zones of the country. The one for the South-South is in Bori, not far from here in Rivers. “The ones for the North-West in Janguza, Kano and the North-Central, in Karshi, Abuja, are ready. Hopefully, we shall inaugurate the one in Kano in a few days, before our departure. “Even work is steadily going on in the others and has reached appreciable level. “Let me also reiterate that the Federal Government will stop feeding inmates incarcerated for breaching state laws. As you commence your budget process for next year, include feeding of your inmates.” 

What I saw when I entered Osinachi’s house – Women Affairs Minister

What I saw when I entered Osinachi's house – Women Affairs Minister

Women Affairs Minister, Dame Pauline Tallen, has shared her experience after visiting the home of late singer, Osinachi Nwachukwu.
According to Dame Pauline, she had visited the Abuja home of the deceased to identify with the traumatized children who were still heartbroken over their mother’s death.

“When I came into the compound, I saw the children, four beautiful children; three boys, one girl. He (Peter) had told the children that they should not speak about the things that have been happening in the house.
I came in with all the directors in the ministry. When I was asking questions, I saw that the children were not forthcoming. I excused everyone and said I wanted to have a one-on-one with the children.

I first spoke with the first son. I asked him, ‘Do you love your mother?’ He said, ‘Yes’. ‘Has your mummy taught you to tell lies?’ He said, ‘Yes’. I asked him if she is still alive and he said she is dead.
I asked him, “Do you know that she is now your angel and she is now watching you?’ He said, ‘Yes’. ‘So, it will be very sad if you tell lies’.
“I introduced myself and I told him the President is concerned, every Nigerian is concerned, we all join them to mourn Osinachi’s death but what we want from him is the truth.
“Then he opened up. He said that their dad used to beat their mom and their mom was always sad. He would beat her and flog her. He said their father would gather them in the room and be beating them and if the mom comes into the room to stop him, he would turn back on her and beat her up. And that has always been the case.
“The children said it was their mom that runs around on her gospel music, comes back with her money. In fact, if the money is paid through (a) bank account, it was paid into his account.
“She has no account of her own, any money she has, he collects it and gives her just peanut for feeding and when she cooks, he started shouting and beating her. And their mom was living in fear and was always sad.
“It was such a horrible story from a young boy that is said to be just 12. I asked him what class he is and he said Class Five. At the age of 12? I said, ‘Why?’ And he said he can’t even read. So, mentally, this child is already destroyed.
“I was battling with tears and when he finished, I called on the second son. The second son repeated the same horrible situation as well as the third son.”

Women Affairs minister, Pauline Tallen reacts as she makes promises to Nigerians

Mrs Dame Pauline Tallen, Nigerian Minister for Women Affairs on Monday reacted to the death of popular gospel artiste, Osinachi Nwachukwu, who reportedly died from domestic violence.

Her reaction follows public outrage that ensued after late Osinachi’s colleagues pointed accusing fingers at her husband.
Meanwhile, as Nigerians demand justice, Tallen who made some promises noted that with the singer’s death, “it is now truly obvious that violence knows no class or creed”.
 
The minister assured Nigerians that the ministry under her watch will prosecute the matter to get justice for Osinachi.

In her words: “As with every news of domestic violence which spreads like wildfire, I was woken up to the news of the untimely death of one of Nigeria’s finest female gospel Artistes Osinachi Nwachukwu who was said to have died as a result of cancer on 8th April 2022.

“This could have passed as one of those news until new facts started emerging that she died as a result of domestic violence. Then you begin to wonder and ask how such a talented and self-accomplished individual who loved God has been a victim?
“It is now truly obvious that violence knows no class or creed. It could have been that she cried out to her Church or Pastor or friends or family, but all she got was “it is well” and now that the inevitable has happened, they are speaking out. It is NOT WELL if we carry on with the traditional ways of sweeping bad behaviour under the carpet.
“In Nigeria today, Domestic Violence is a crime under the Violence Against Persons Prohibition Act (2015). The Federal Government of Nigeria and the States have declared zero tolerance to Gender-Based Violence. And so, the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs under my watch will prosecute this matter to get justice for Osinachi. It is obvious that her children also need psyco-social support to heal from this trauma if it is true that their Father will go the whole length of tying her up and asking the children to flog her with a cane. This is unbelievable and MUST be condemned in all its ramifications.
“The Ministry working with relevant authorities will set in motion the mechanism to rehabilitate these children so that they do not grow up damaged and assume that such acts are normal thereby poisoning our society.
“I know that more women are going through such traumatic experiences, please give them a listening ear, provide wise counsel and save them from untimely death. I am not advocating for divorce for those, who will misunderstand me! All I am asking is that we stand up to the truth where necessary and promptly so as to save a life when we have an opportunity to do so. We cannot continue to keep losing our young women to mentally unstable young men all in the name of marriage. Life first before anything.
“Our Religious and Traditional institutions, as well as our immediate families, must join us in this fight to rid our society of such acts before they become fatal.
“May the soul of Osinachi and all those who have lost their lives as a result of domestic violence rest in peace. Please if you see something, speak out, so that together we can save lives.”
