Recalling the conversation, she said:

“On one faithful day, I came back from school, My husband called me that he wants to tell me something, He said that him and his friend visited an Herbalist in Ipetu they went for money ritual and the herbalist gave them an assignment that if they don’t get it done within a week one of them would die, while the other would run mad “

Adejoke revealed that at the time, her husband was a university graduate who held a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.

She admitted that she initially dismissed what he told her because she believed such stories only happened in movies.

She explained:

“I didn’t take him seriously, he was just restless After a week, I came back from school, we had power supply, His friend was seeing in the chair in the living room He (Her husband) was sleeping on the floor I saw a liquid black solution in a bottle on the table and then I went back to the living room and watched the TV with his friend, he just woke up and his reds, I wondered what happened, His eyes were red like that of sango, It was red I was wondering what happened and the next thing, he started pointing at my child and was asking which child is this, who is the owner of this child and I looked at his friend I was surprised or was he dreaming.

“He brought out money and was counting and he said police officers make alot of money when he was counting the money, then i remembered that he told me the previous week .. His friend had no idea that my husband had told me everything I looked at his friend, as I looked at his friend I started crying and I was shaking and we had tenants downstairs, His friend took be to the balcony and his friend does not know that my husband had told me everything and his friend told me the same thing my husband told me he told me again and then I was saying i am in trouble his friend then begin calming me he does not want those people downstairs to know what is going on”

The gospel singer said she immediately decided to seek spiritual intervention after the frightening incident.

According to her, she left home with her child and went to Asejire Mountain, where she met her prophet, Israel Olarenwaju, to seek guidance and prayers.

She recalled:

“Instantly I wore cloth and went to a prophet at Asejire mountain I called him and when i called him I was crying and i asked him how can i see him asking if he was on the mountain or church as she is coming now and he kept asking what happned and i told him let me come first that I can’t explain on phone, After the call, I backed my child, and went to Akinola Junction to take bike and i was crying till i dropped at at Asejire Junction even people in the bus were asking what happened and when i went to the mountain i met my prophet (Israel Olarenwaju) he is still alive, he was smiling and the prophet said my husband must come and do 21 days on the mountain he said he did not tell him to bring anything, that he should just bring 5 litres keg for prayer water for him to come (Her husband) he did not go just 21 days”

However, the announcement sparked mixed reactions online, with several Nigerian social media users calling for the cancellation of the Lagos concert.

Many of those opposing the concert linked their reactions to the recurring reports of xenophobic attacks against other African nationals in South Africa.

Some users argued that, given the history of attacks on foreign Africans, including Nigerians, it would be inappropriate to host the South African singer in Lagos unless there is visible progress in addressing the issue.

“One wicked witch is down: my dead mother-in-law, Comfort Chika Nwanorue, rest in pieces in hell with other dead witches; your members will soon join you.

I am the weapon fashioned against all the witches and wizards and all the evil people in the world; you all shall go down in my hands. Very wicked beings.

You people should repent now and accept Christ; if not, you won’t escape the judgment of death from my hands, in Jesus’ name. Amen

These people have dealt with me in this life; they found out about my destiny, and they did everything within their power to bring me down, but I thank God for helping me discover who I am and coming through for my destiny; I am now in my season of manifestation, and no one can stop it. They will all go down in my hands as God empowers and permits me, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

I am speaking from the place of my office as a prophetess of God Almighty.

My sword shall continue to touch blood in Jesus’name, Amen

Prophetess Ezinne Maryjane Nwanorue”

A Nigerian woman has shared her perspective on how the country’s economic situation is affecting relationships, saying the financial challenges many people are facing have changed the way some men approach dating.

In a video shared on X, the woman revealed that she has been single for the past four years despite receiving attention from men.

According to her, most of the men who approach her are either married or significantly older, a situation she said has left her wondering why she has been unable to find a suitable partner.

Follow the Elizabethblog channel on WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDQN5lI1rcbSgriLG2M

She explained that she once questioned whether something was wrong with her and even sought spiritual guidance through prayers before concluding that the issue was not personal.

The woman said she now believes that the country’s economic hardship has had a noticeable impact on relationships, with many people focusing more on survival than long-term commitment.

She said:

“I’ve been single for 4 good years now. I won’t say men don’t approach me, but the type of men that approach me are people’s husbands. Married men, older men.

“And I’m like what’s going on. I’m just in my twenties. Later I figured out that nothings wrong with me cause at some point I went for prayers. I’ve now noticed that a lot of men are going through a lot. This economy has turned men into something else. Nobody has time.

“Even the young ones that are coming to me, they’re like see let’s just do business. Nobody wants to be committed again. Some men have even turned to Agege. There’s this guy I know he looks completely normal but this guy’s pure Agege. The economy is really messing up with people. It takes the grace of God to see a good man no”
