Pastor Jerry Eze (What God Cannot Do Does Not Exist) actually led a 3-day fasting and prayer session with the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN) to seek divine intervention over the recent spate of deaths in Nollywood.

Honestly, I don’t know what to say about this exercise. If you undermine this exercise or say something negative, you become antichrist, yet, this exercise may be a distraction from major issues the actors guild needed to pay attention to.

If this exercise was a combination of spiritual warfare/deliverance AND practical teaching/seminar on healthy living, then, it deserves commendation.

But where the Nollywood people have been made to see their problem as spiritual, then there is a big problem.

First, I still insist that Nollywood do not record more deaths or calamities than other industries. People believe they do because every single Nollywood practitioner that dies, or battles one ailment is known.

Practitioners in other industries don’t have such leisure nor such coverage.

The other day, I passed through the NBA House in Port Harcourt, I read virtually all the obituary posters on display. So many, and you will wonder….

Yet, Nigerians don’t know that these people are dead. Only their friends, church people, meeting people, colleagues, neighbors and families know. Never so with Nollywood people.

Go to teaching hospitals, you will see posters announcing the dead of doctors and nurses.
Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) may lose more members in a year, but their losses don’t make it to the media.

Take a roll call of the NUT, NURTW, NLC, PENGASSON, etc.

So, I insist that we talk about Nollywood because anything that happens there makes news.

Leaving this, let’s look at the losses that Nollywood has recorded in recent times….

While some came at the “appointed time”, some came as a result of recklessness or lack of proper care.

I hope that after the latest spiritual warfare and deliverance that Pastor Jerry Eze equally took time to teach them how to take care of their health by ensuring they live healthy.

I hope he equally taught them about the need for regular checkups.

I hope he taught them too about the need to save for the rainy days while they are still at their peak, and not resort to beseeching Nigerians for crowd funding when they have health issues that N2m or N3m can take care of.

I hope he also taught them of trust fund from which they as a group can draw to assist members in need.

I hope he equally taught them about funds management and investing in relatives and friends who will have them covered when they have need.

If they overlooked all these and focused solely on the spiritual, then, ihe na-ebe ka na ebekwa.

Billionaire’s daughter Temi Otedola and singer Mr Eazi open up on stress, disagreements before settling on three destination weddings

Published

Temi Otedola and singer Mr Eazi have opened up about the intense stress, back-and-forth, and disagreements they went through before finally agreeing on the countries for their destination weddings.

According to the couple, planning three weddings across three countries within just three months was anything but easy.

“Three weddings in three months is insane,” they admitted, revealing how overwhelming the entire process became, especially with one event following closely after the other.

Temi shared that their original idea was to have a quiet court wedding in Nigeria. But privacy quickly became an issue.

“If we went to the courthouse in Nigeria, it wouldn’t be as private as we wanted,” she explained.

An alternative was suggested — bringing the court officials into their living room for a private civil ceremony. Temi found the idea interesting, but Mr Eazi wasn’t fully convinced.

That disagreement pushed them back to the drawing board.

Eventually, they settled on Monaco for their civil wedding, a choice Temi described as more sentimental. The UK was also considered at some point, but Temi admitted it didn’t feel personal enough to her.

What shocked her the most, however, was the reality of marriage paperwork.

“I thought getting married was just deciding and signing papers,” Temi said. “I didn’t know there was a mountain of administration.”

John Cena Retires From Wrestling (Video)

John Cena’s in-ring WWE career officially ended on Saturday night at the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., bringing down the curtain on more than two decades at the top of professional wrestling.

The farewell headlined the final WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event of 2025 and delivered a definitive, emotional conclusion to one of the industry’s most influential careers.

Cena’s last match saw him submit to Gunther after a punishing, near 24-minute main event that blended intensity, respect and finality.

The crowd remained fully invested throughout, rallying behind Cena in the hope of a last-gasp victory that never came.

While the result shocked many in attendance, the post-match atmosphere quickly shifted to appreciation as Cena addressed the crowd, surrounded by WWE talent and staff.

Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes faced NXT Champion Oba Femi in the opening bout, but interference from Drew McIntyre led to a disqualification finish.

Despite the short runtime, Femi emerged as a clear winner in perception, making him a future main-event player.

Meanwhile, Sol Ruca delivered one of the standout performances of the night, defeating Bayley in a result that felt less like an upset and more like a statement.

Her athletic offence and confidence marked her as a rising force in the women’s division.

The final match before Cena’s farewell featured World Tag Team Champions AJ Styles and Dragon Lee against Je’Von Evans and TNA X-Division Champion Leon Slater.

Despite the difficult slot ahead of the main event, the bout delivered action and kept the crowd engaged.

Cena exits WWE having helped elevate the company to new commercial heights, while deliberately leaving the spotlight to the next wave of stars.

His words:
“Nigeria has everything you need. People greet me like a king. The girls here are beautiful. If you have money here, you’re living like a king. This is where I need to be. Forget about UK.”
