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.

R@pe Allegation: Popular Nigerian Singer, Simi Reacts To Accusation Of Being Pedophile

Published

on

Nigerian singer and songwriter, Simisola Kosoko, popularly known as Simi, has responded to backlash over old social media posts that resurfaced after she spoke against rape.

The controversy followed renewed online debates triggered by the Mirabel TikToker case.

Simi had stated that men should stop raping women and that rapists should be castrated.

She added that almost every woman she knows has been sexually assaulted.

Days later, screenshots of tweets she made between 2012 and 2013 began circulating online.

Addressing the issue on Sunday, she wrote, “I haven’t been on twitter today – but someone brought a few of my old tweets to my attention and I can’t not address it.”

Simi explained that the posts were made in 2012 while she lived with her mother and helped at her daycare centre.

“In 2012, I lived and helped out at my mom’s daycare while I was hustling my music.

“I tweeted everything that happened in my life, as we all did at the time,” she stated.

She said the tweets reflected casual observations about children at the daycare.

“Kids can be mischievous. If a child did something I found funny, I tweeted about it. Kids are cute and lovable.

“I want to hug, kiss and cuddle them. I tweet about it. Nothing I tweeted was from perversion,” she wrote.

Among the posts widely shared was a November 12, 2013 tweet that read, “I wonder if anyone’s ever used breast milk to bake cake before.”

Other resurfaced tweets included, “David has a crush on me. He kips comn close; actin lik he wana lock lips n den he puts his head on my lap. Shd I giv him a chance? P.S: Hes 4.”

Another read, “love to kiss d kids at my mum’s daycare – they’re super adorable and I’m crazy abt ’em.”

A further post stated, “Why this 4yr old boy tryna put hand inside ma shet????? Ogbeni wash it oh!”

Simi insisted the remarks were never intended to suggest anything inappropriate.

“What I can’t let anyone do is twist my story to fit false narratives,” she said.

She disclosed that some of the posts had been deleted due to the sensitivity of the matter.

“My team has been deleting some of my tweets because of how sensitive it is for my family. To be honest, I did not want to,” she added.

Reaffirming her position, she said, “I’ve never been depraved in my life.”

On sexual violence, she maintained, “I have always spoken against rape and sexual assault, even before you knew I existed. It’s not a costume I’m wearing, it’s who I am.

“I’ve never claimed to be perfect. I’ve never claimed to know everything. I said stop raping women. I stand by it.”

The development continues to generate debate on social media, with differing interpretations of the old posts.
