The Synagogue Church of All Nations, (SCOAN) has officially named the wife of its founder, late Prophet Temitope Balogun, aka T.B Joshua’s wife, Evelyn, as the new leader of the church.

In a statement on Church’s official Facebook page on Sunday, September 12, SCOAN said the SCOAN’s activities would be under the guidance of God and leadership of Mrs Evelyn Joshua while urging members and followers to pray for Mrs Evelyn as she takes on her new role.

The statetment in part reads;

“We thank you for keeping the faith. It is now God’s appointed time, to the glory of God, for The SCOAN to soldier on with the divine assignment under the guidance of God and the human leadership of Mrs. Evelyn Joshua.

“We urge you all to join us in prayers as we wish for God’s guidance and divine wisdom in her new God ordained role.”

A deeper Life Church member, Awoh Liberty, was dragged after he went about posting a photo of a female Corps member wearing a skirt instead of the trousers stipulated and issued by the NYSC.

The photo which he posted on various Christian Facebook groups on Sunday, reads: No to Lucifer’s Perception. No to Satan’d Deception. We the female say no no no to trouser.”

The post generated varying reactions on the groups with few in support while many argued that it’s not possible to engage in physical activities in orientation camps while wearing trousers. 

One Emmanuel Emeng described the post as “Phariseeic in behaviour with a tint of fanatism”

“This uniform is an occupational clothing na, all things are lawful but not all are expedient na. Wear the trouser, you never commit sin. Dont be like the unbelievers who are not enlightened” 

Toochukwu Ben Anefo, wrote: Dear poster I put it to you that you are using the time you would have used to preach salvation, the love of Christ, righteousness to advertise frivolities. Wearing trousers or skirt is not the way to eternity with God. Only Jesus. Preach him alone and allow the Holy spirit to do his work. Shalom.”

Governor Hope Uzodinma has said that the sit-at-home order issued by proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) against the visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to Imo state, was only obeyed on social media platforms.

Uzodinma in an interview on Channels Television, said that Imo residents were excited about Buhari’s visit and came all out to welcome him. 

He also stated that he and other Igbo leaders will be supporting the president, his administration and his policies, because he has shown sufficient interest in terms of pragmatic approach in listening and being sensitive to the yearnings of Imolites and Igbo people in general.

Uzodinma said; 

“What is important to me is that Mr President visited and you could see the excitement of the entire Igbo nation. The leadership received Mr President, commended Mr President, pledged to support Mr President’s government and policies. 

“When we say this, we mean it. We meant every inch of the word — that we are supporting the president; we are supporting his administration, and we are supporting his policies, because Mr President has shown sufficient interest in terms of pragmatic approach in listening and being sensitive to the yearnings of Imolites and Igbo people in general.

“We meant it. Our people came. You could see that with the sit-at-home order, which is only a social media sit-at-home order. The sit-at-home order is not in Imo state, because we never issued any sit-at-home order.

“Imo people are excited. lmo people are happy that the president of the federal republic of Nigeria, one united Nigeria with common destiny, visited Imo, commissioned projects, spoke to his people and we are happy.

“And he left happy. There was no security breach, no incident of disloyalty. There was no violence.”

Tyson Fury has voved to annihilate Anthony Joshua while offering a withering assessment of his heavyweight rival. 

Fury sat down with former Manchester United defender Gary Neville as part of his Overlap series.

Neville, who spoke to Joshua four weeks ago, showed Fury a clip of his interview with Joshua in which the Watford-born fighter claims it was his opposition that backed out of a heavyweight unification bout. 

In the clip, Joshua says: ‘It’s not me, it’s the other side that are letting it down. 

‘We had the deal in place, we were the ones who found the venue, we were the ones who took the offer to them and they bailed out on not only me but also the boxing world. I’ll smoke that guy, I will.’

Morecambe-born heavyweight Fury almost laughs off Joshua’s trash talk before he gives a damning teardown of ‘southern w****r’ promoter Eddie Hearn. 

‘AJ couldn’t smoke a cigarette never mind the Gypsy King,’ Fury said. 

‘He hasn’t got the minerals to fight a man like me. I said to Eddie Hearn that the difference between me and him is that he’s a businessman and I’m a f*****g Spartan and I’ll show him that when I get in the ring.

‘I will absolutely annihilate that bodybuilder. It won’t go past six rounds, it will be over quickly. He knows that and his full team know it and that’s why Eddie Hearn has been steering round me for the last 10 years.’

Fury goes on to add that Hearn, who runs Matchroom Boxing, has previously had the chance to sign him to his catalogue of fighters but blocked it.

‘Eddie Hearn, he is a proper southern w****r,’ Fury added, sending Neville into a fit of laughter. 

‘I love to terrorise Eddie because he loves to talk s**t about people that he’s got nothing to do with. 

‘All Eddie Hearn’s ever done is talk rubbish about me because he knows it gets him hits and viewing figures in interviews. At the end of the day, what has he ever achieved in his life? He’s never been a boxer. He goes around like he’s world heavyweight champion but he ain’t. He’s just a businessman.’ 

Plans for a unification bout in Saudi Arabia collapsed and now both Fury and Joshua are in training camp for upcoming fights. 

Fury is facing American Deontay Wilder in a trilogy contest on October 9, while Joshua is taking on Oleksandr Usyk on September 25.
