Leke, Pastor Enoch Adeboye's son
Nigerians on Twitter have dismissed a story narrated by Leke, the son of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Enoch Adejare Adeboye, of how he made his first million by selling wristbands and rubbers.

Leke also a Pastor, had disclosed in an interview on School of Wealth (SOW) that he made his first one million selling rubber.

He said that selling promotional gift items like rubber wristbands to a big Christian event with a small profit of N50 or N100 get to add up.

Leke said, “Promotional gift items for those that are doing branding wristbands are just rubber. But if I sell enough of those rubbers with a very tiny margin profit of ₦50 or ₦100 at a big Christian event, it adds up.”

Reacting, a tweep, Xperience_Snr said, “I don’t think is that hard to make a million naira from selling a “Wristband” among an African Church Congregation that’s over 5 million People. Especially when you tell them is for their Protection and Prosperity. An African Church biggest selling points.”

Dimeji Joseph said, “No doubt, especially when you have the monopoly of production and that huge number of patronage.”

Meanwhile, AimThaMachine_said, “If my father was Pastor EA Adeboye, I will sell rubber wristband, wristwatch, handkerchief, t-shirts, packed shirts, trousers, vest, briefs and boxers, braziers and everything I can think of by inscribing RCCG logo on it and I’ll become a Billionaire.

Samwellsg said, “They go around in armoured vehicles, wristband protection is for the members.”

Shozy said, ” I’ll believe him if it’s redeem church wrist band. They’ll buy more from him, with believe it will have special blessings, he’s the G.O son and a pastor. If he said he make 50 million off it I’ll still believe him.

One DuruChibuzorE said that, “10 million RCCG members multiplied by 200 naira wrist band. He can easily make his first million. That’s not a grass to grace story. It’s you taking advantage of naive worshippers”

Pope Francis decries ‘icy winds of war’ at Easter Vigil

Pope Francis

On Holy Saturday, Pope Francis celebrated the festive Easter Vigil commemorating the resurrection of Jesus Christ in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.

Around 8,000 spectators attended the celebration, according to Italy’s ANSA news agency.

In his homily, the pope condemned the “rampant injustice” and the “icy winds of war” that he said prevailed in the world.

However, he said, Easter encourages people and gives them hope.

“It motivates us to move forward, to leave behind the sense of defeat, and to look to the future with confidence because Christ is risen and has changed the course of history,” said Francis.

On the Holy Night before Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus after his death on the cross.

The ceremony sees an Easter candle be brought into St. Peter’s Basilica in complete darkness, to symbolise life without faith.

The candles of the priests and faithful are then lit to the “Lumen Christi” (Light of Christ) chant. Once bells sound, announcing that Jesus has risen, the basilica fills with light.

The pontiff, who was in hospital due to bronchitis last week and suffers from a knee condition, approached the altar in a wheelchair and remained seated throughout the Mass.

Francis baptised eight adults during the Mass, three Albanians, two people from the United States and one from Nigeria, Venezuela, and Italy.

On Sunday morning, Pope Francis is expected to celebrate the Easter Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square.

Tens of thousands are once again expected to attend.

‘Is it the Cashless economy? the untold hardship caused by it? It is really a bad experience. Many businesses collapsed. Movements was halted. No physical cash to move around. People lamented and cried. Nevertheless, we must continue the struggle of faith, the nation and what have you. It is important we continue the struggle. I thank you all for your steadfastness,’ Bishop Ezeokafor said.

He stated that no priest should engage in partisan politics, even as he said that Muslim had an agenda with Muslim/Muslim ticket.

On Cathedraticum, Bishop Ezeokafor described it as annual celebration that should be celebrated by all Catholic faithful in the Diocese and beyond, explaining it was a time set aside for parishioners to pay homage to their Diocesan bishop.

Bishop Ezeokafor who described the Holy Thursday observation as a spiritual reawakening moment for all and sundry, urged Christians to imbibe the spirit of prayerfulness and be steadfast in pursuit of heavenly goals.
