‘Allah’ll grant you grace’ – Muslim group celebrates Pope Leo XIV

Published

on

The Ansar-ud-Deen Society of Nigeria has prayed that God will give Pope Leo XIV the grace to lead the Catholic community.

The group said the election of Robert Prevost now known as Leo XIV as the first American Pope was historic and marks a significant chapter in the history of the Catholic Church.

National President, Prince Mosediq Kazeem, said the historic moment signified not only the continuity of apostolic leadership but also reaffirmed the unity, faith, and resilience of the global Catholic Church.

The college of Cardinals had concluded its conclave and elected Pope Leo XIV following the death of Pope Francis last month.

In a statement signed by Kazeem, he said: “We commend the Catholic faithful in Nigeria for their steadfast prayers, unwavering devotion, and commitment to the spiritual well-being of the Church throughout this sacred process.

“As the Catholic community in Nigeria joins the universal Church in welcoming the new Pontiff, we pray that his papacy will be blessed with wisdom, humility, and a deep dedication to the mission of peace, justice, and service to all humanity.

“May his leadership inspire renewed hope, strengthen faith, and advance the work of the Gospel both in Nigeria and across the world.”

Kazeem said while the Ansar-ud-Deen Society of Nigeria remains committed to fostering interfaith harmony and understanding in the spirit of interfaith harmony, the group invokes the words of the Qur’an “….And you will find the nearest of them in affection to the believers are those who say, ‘We are Christians.’ That is because among them are priests and monks, and because they are not arrogant.”(Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:82).

“May Almighty Allah continue to bless the Catholic Church in Nigeria, strengthen the bonds of peace between our communities, and grant abundant grace to Pope Leo XIV as he leads the flock of Christ with compassion and justice.”

I Threw My Expensive Gold Jewelry into the Lagoon the Moment I Became a Born-Again Christian— Pastor Adeboye’s Wife, Foluke

Published

Wife of Foluke Adeboye has revealed the drastic step she took after becoming born again, throwing away her gold jewellery into a lagoon.

Speaking candidly, the pastor’s wife shared that like many women, she once loved fashion and had even prepared expensive gold items for her young child.

However, everything changed after she joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), where wearing earrings was frowned upon at the time.

“The moment we were born again, it was a taboo for you to have earrings. So everything, I dropped it in the lagoon,” she said.

She recalled how a family friend questioned her decision, suggesting she could have given the jewellery to her mother to sell instead.

But She stood firm, “Whatever is not good for me is not good for my mother.”

Reflecting on her journey, she made it clear she has no regrets about her sacrifice.
“I don’t miss anything, not much, because I have already sold my life,” she added.

ADC calls on women to lead, shape Nigeria’s future

Published

on

As Nigeria observes International Women’s Day 2026, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has urged women to take active roles in politics and leadership to help build a more inclusive nation.

In a statement on Sunday, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, said Nigerian women carry a disproportionate share of social and economic responsibilities but remain underrepresented in decision-making positions.

“From mothers and teachers to doctors, nurses, and entrepreneurs, women sustain our nation every day. Yet their voices are often absent when decisions about our future are made,” the statement read.

The ADC highlighted that its National Working Committee is deliberately structured to include women, and emphasized that the party is the only one in Nigeria whose constitution reserves 40 per cent of all positions at every level for women.

“For the ADC, women are partners in nation-building, and empowering them strengthens Nigeria’s democracy. When Nigerian women rise, the nation rises with them,” Abdullahi added.

The party urged more women across the country to join its platform and contribute to shaping Nigeria’s political and democratic future.

“To the ADC, women are indispensable to the future of Nigerian democracy. A nation of over two hundred million people cannot reach its full potential when half of its population remains underrepresented in political leadership. Nigeria’s democracy will only become stronger when its institutions reflect the strength, talent, and diversity of its people,” the statement emphasized.
