Isaac Oyedepo, the son of Living Faith Church Worldwide founder Bishop David Oyedepo, has addressed recent suspicions about his status within the church and his relationship with his father.


In a statement posted on his X account on Tuesday, the younger Oyedepo underlined that his connection with his family, notably his father, is uncomplicated, and that he is a devout member of the Living Faith Church, also known as Winners Chapel International.


He reiterated his commitment to the church and requested that the public exercise caution when considering information that has not been communicated through his official social media platforms.


He also warned against the dissemination of unverified information regarding any separation from the Living Faith Church, as such actions could be viewed as a breach of his privacy.


He said in part, ““I must state that there is no complication in my relationship with my beloved family and my beloved dad ( Bishop David Oyedepo) who has stood by me and supported me over the years nor are there any in my commitment to my church-turned-home, Living Faith Church, also known as Winners Chapel International.


“I remain a steadfast member of the Living Faith Church dedicated to the service of the body of Christ.


“I urge the general public to treat information not communicated by me or any of my social media platforms with extreme caution. There should be no further publications on any severance of my relationships with the Living Faith Church without my express authorisation, as it may be considered a breach of my privacy. Thank you so much for your understanding”


Previous reports had suggested that the younger Oyedepo had resigned his position as the Youth Pastor of Winners Chapel, although there was no official letter of resignation published.

A Nigerian man, Eke Ako, has said that a woman spending her own money without the knowledge and approval of her husband is financial infidelity which, according to him, is the same as sexual infidelity. 

Mr. Ako, from Abia State, who stated this in a Facebook post on Monday, October 30, 2023, had earlier said that he supports polygamy. Read his post below: 

FINANCIAL INFIDELITY VS SEXUAL INFIDELITY. 

Financial infidelity carries the same weight as sexual infidelity. Your funds also belong to your husband. When you spend outside your family (your husband, children & you) without his knowledge and agreement, it is the same as sexual infidelity

My dear sisters who copy western marriages ignore this part

Igbo marriage remains the best. Working out differences in a marriage is not endurance

Marriage requires toughness, tolerance and endurance

You must decide to lose sometimes. You must also know your place.

Also avoid the temptation of changing a natural order because you want to copy what you don’t really understand.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, has said that the National Assembly was planning legislation that would regulate Artificial Intelligence (AI).

He said this at the 7th Convocation Ceremony organised by the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies in collaboration with the University of Benin, held in Abuja.

He stressed the need for Nigeria to have a regulatory framework in place for emerging technologies.

He also noted that although new technologies such as AI and robotics have immense benefits, there is a need to check their misuse and abuse.

He said: “Datasets and algorithms can reflect or reinforce gender, racial, or ideological biases. More critically, AI can deepen inequalities by automating routine tasks and displacing jobs.

“There is also likely to be a rise in identity theft and fraud, as evidenced by the use of AI to create highly realistic deep fakes.

“These are intended to misinform, trick and confuse people. Attackers use these maliciously crafted videos, photos and audio to create societal unrest, carry out fraud and damage the reputations of individuals and brands.

“Accordingly, and in recognition of the opportunities and threats posed by AI, the 10th House of Representatives will engage stakeholders and experts on this and related issues.

“We shall leverage their potential and address issues of privacy, accountability, ethics, security and intellectual property. We will also work with the executive to ensure the integration of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and renewable energy into the school curriculum.

“Therefore, in the coming weeks, I will introduce a bill to regulate Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ensure better conditions for the development and use of this innovative technology in Nigeria.

“This will be the first such effort in Africa and one of only a few undertaken by parliaments worldwide.”

“After the visitor left, Usman was chased out by his father, and the defendant told him to leave the house. When he left, Abiodun removed his daughter’s pants, held her neck, and tried to insert his penis in her private parts. It was in the process of doing it that the daughter screamed. Her brother heard the noise and entered the house where he saw his father on top of his sister.

“The defendant tried to chase Usman away and then the victim ran out and reported to their neighbour that her father was trying to have sexual intercourse with her.

“The neighbour then reported the case to the Baale, before it was reported to the Lagos State Police Badagry Division,” she said.
