The founder of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has claimed that Jesus Christ was at parallel with poverty.

Pastor Ibiyeomie said Jesus Christ never associated with the poor while he was on earth because he disliked poverty.

He disclosed this while speaking with his congregation.

Pastor Ibiyeomie asserted that the death of Jesus Christ and resurrection were not only to bring salvation but also to free believers from poverty.

He argued that remaining in poverty after coming to Christ reflects a lack of spiritual understanding.

Ibiyeomie said, “Jesus never visited any poor person in his house, check your bible. That means he hates poverty. He visited Lazarus, they were not poor, they were giving him food.

“He visited a sinner, Zacchaeus, who was rich. Tell me one poor man Jesus entered his house. He hates poverty, that’s the meaning.

“He hates people who are poor. He died for you not to be poor. How can you now come to church with some kind of mentality?

“You can come poor but you’re not permitted to remain poor. There’s nothing wrong with you coming to Christ as a poor man, but it’s wrong for you to remain poor. It is wrong.”

The Senior Pastor of Power World Ministries International, Rev. Dr. Uche Ume, has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Mr. Kel Armstrong Amobi, host and producer of the KAATalks Podcast, over his claims that he was engaging in fake miracles.

The cleric demanded a full and public retraction of what he called defamatory statements made against him in videos posted on social media between April 8 and 9, 2025.

He spoke in a statement made available to Ekwutosblog through his legal counsel, Barr. Maxwell Opara.

Among other things, Amobi had claimed that, “There is nobody close to me that he hasn’t called, begging me to forgive him. But what he needs is to stop the staged miracles, false prophecies, and extortion.

“He is manipulating poor people in Ebonyi State, collecting money from children and their mothers.

“You’ve been ruining people’s lives with your so-called nonsense miracles and fake prophecies in Ebonyi, Aba, and other places. Do you know how many people may have lost their lives because of you?”

Rev. Ume’s legal team asserted that those statements were not only unfounded but had caused significant harm to his personal and ministerial reputation.

He said that failure to comply within 48 hours upon receipt of the letter, he would be left with no option but to explore all legal remedies available “to protect our client’s name and reputation.”

Media personality Daddy Freeze has reacted to a viral post of former minister of aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode laying hands on people in a church.

Fani-Kayode, popularly called FFK, had on Monday shared pictures from his thanksgiving ceremony on Sunday at the Faith Hill Prophetic Assembly in Piwoyi, Abuja.

The politician was seen laying hands on people during the church service. The development raised concerns among netizens.

Reacting to the development in an Instagram post, Daddy Freeze, who was surprised to see the pictures, told his followers to be close to their phones for them not to miss God’s call.

Sharing the photos, Freeze who sarcastically announced that God is currently on a calling mission, challenged his followers to also consider picking God’s call.

“God is truly working wonders in this generation. May His name be praised in Jesus name. God don call FFK o. God dey call o; hold your phone make e no be say God don call you you miss the call. If God never calls you, check yourself.”
