Do you remember the original PES United Master League team? 🥹
A team full of fictional players that somehow became real legends for an entire generation of football gaming fans ❤️
Some of these names are still remembered 20+ years later. That says everything about how special Master League really was 🥲
Who was YOUR favourite player from the original PES United squad? 🧵 ��
Today, I had the rare honour, and I do not use that word lightly, of sitting, fellowshipping, and engaging deeply with one of the true generals of our time: Dr Paul Jinadu.
A proven general.
A man whose life has become a system, a structure, and a sustained expression of the gospel across generations.
Dr Paul Jinadu, the General Overseer of New Covenant Church, with over 700 branches globally, is not just a name; he is a movement, a footprint, a witness that consistency in doctrine and longevity in ministry still matter.
And for me, this was not a random meeting.
This was deeply personal.
I first encountered his voice in 1995, in Ibadan.
Back then, if you schooled or lived in Ibadan, you did not need an introduction to New Covenant Church or to Dr Jinadu. They were household names.
From Samonda to Cocoa House to Ijokodo, the influence was unmistakable.
Many of my friends in my university days found a spiritual home there.
So imagine the full circle moment.
From listening
To learning
To now sitting with him at 84 years old, still sharp, still grounded, still carrying the weight of decades of faithful ministry.
There is something humbling about encountering a man who has seen seasons come and go, doctrines rise and fall, yet remains rooted, anchored in Christ and committed to the gospel.
It recalibrates you.
It reminds you that ministry is not built in moments, it is built over decades of obedience.
And let me say this very clearly:
We must learn to honour fathers while they are still here.
Because what they carry sometimes cannot be downloaded from clips, it must be discerned, received, and honoured.
A special thank you to my brother, Pastor Akinola Abiona, for your love, intentionality, and effort in making this moment happen.
Today was not just a visit.
It was an impartation of perspective.
A reminder of what it truly means to finish well.
And I walked away with one loud conviction:
The future of ministry is not in reinventing the gospel
it is in stewarding it with depth, clarity, and longevity.
People who argue that we should return to African traditions before the arrival of Christianity often overlook the fact that their current sense of morality has already been shaped by Christian influence. In doing so, they take for granted the extent of human wickedness, largely because they are unaware of what many societies were like before Christianity took root.
The way the woke pan-African community perceives “African Spirituality” humors me.
You think your grandfathers that took to their heels, abandoned the shrines, sacrifices, and followed the gospel didn’t know why they did?
They’re already sharing rice as the “prize” for the next four years.
Please don’t collect it and then expect programs like Hallelujah Challenge, NLP, or NSPPD to deliver you from a decision you knowingly made.
God cannot be mocked.
The way you make your bed is the way you will lie on it.
Just saying.
Help save Toluwa's life
Our hearts are heavy as we share the story of my younger sister Modurotoluwa Adefowoju, a bright, loving, and courageous 16 year old girl whose life has been turned upside down by acute leukemia. She was initially misdiagnosed in 2023 with JSLE (Junior Lupus) and spent over 13 months treating the wrong disease. Just a few months ago, Modurotoluwa was full of laughter, dreams, and plans for her future as a Cybersecurity expert. Today, she is fighting for her life. After weeks of tests and hospital stays, she was diagnosed with a severe form of blood cancer, Acute Myeloid Leukemia, that requires urgent and intensive treatment. She has endured countless rounds of painful chemotherapy, blood transfusions, and long days in the hospital. Her doctors have now recommended that she undergo a bone marrow transplant the only hope for a lasting cure. Unfortunately, this life saving procedure is not available in Nigeria. Our family has been advised to continue treatment and proceed to India for advanced care and transplant. The total cost of treatment, travel, and recovery is estimated at $70,000 far beyond what our parents can afford. Through all of this, Modurotoluwa has remained incredibly brave. She smiles through the pain, prays for healing, and dreams of returning to school and living a normal life again. Please join us in this fight for Modurotoluwa's life. Your generosity can make the difference between hope and despair

Nothing should happen to him, I don't understand why the government will be doing something like this.

This is very true, but also Sanchez was one of the quickest to down tools when he realised the club was going nowhere. Think that’s one of the lasting feelings of Bruno Fernandes’ time at the club is he tried to bring everyone with him, repeatedly, for several managers.
So many Christians are so conformed to the world that they’re scared to admit:
- Jesus is the only way; all other religions are false.
- Homosexuality is a sin.
- Fornication is a sin.
- Abortion is a sin.
Every lukewarm person will be spat out. May God have mercy on us and help us remain completely faithful to His word.
September 2001 in Jos, I narrowly escaped being slaughtered during that unfortunate religious crisis. I have lived through cycles of crises on the Plateau since then. People that I know, ministry members, have been killed by the same people who would have killed me in 2001. Late October and after a month of negotiations we finally secured the release of a brother from the den of kidnappers. I mean like two weeks ago. The security agencies were absolutely useless. They were contacted, but they declined to help.
All you woke and compromised Christians should not add provocation to our pain.
I have met children who were born in IDP camps and are now in primary school, still living in the camps. Many of their villages are presently 'occupied' by the genocidal marauders who invaded and sacked them, and some of those same villages have now been renamed. Do you think these people care if America is sincere in its motive or not? In the face of their humiliating bereavement and misery and impoverishment, what has Nigeria done for these displaced Christians? Tell, what?
"‘Curse Meroz,’ said the angel of the LORD, ‘Curse its inhabitants bitterly,
Because they did not come to the help of the LORD, To the help of the LORD against the mighty.’"
– The Bible
The lottery of birth isn’t fair. Being born in Plateau and other places in the North means your first goal is just to survive. Most Nigerians belittle what Christians face in the North because they didn’t have to live it. Survival shouldn’t be a miracle.
62 years. Greatest school in the country.
Happy Out of Uniform day to all who celebrate.
Baff up extra like it’s 12.30pm on october 14 at ISI Café today👍🏾
