SHORT NOTE FOR MINISTERS GOING THROUGH SCANDALS IN MINISTRY!

If you have never experience or survived scandals as a minister (Preacher or Singer) you're a baby minister

Mind you, scandals are inevitable, you can never run away from it no matter how careful you're.

They are coming from these sets of people

Colleagues in ministry, Disconnected sons and daughters, Unsatisfied former church members, Enemies of the Gospel, Failed and struggling ministers, Ex lovers and envious friends etc.

There are many channels of scandals in ministry, some are true but 80% are lies. Never you judge or conclude anyone because of scandals in MINISTRY, whether True or false, because you will understand when you experience too.

If you are experiencing #Scandal plesse Face it and Quench it .

Nothing new about scandals, silence is the only key to kill scandals. Don't be afraid or ashamed of scandals, people go talk but face your front. What #He_Said is more important than what #they_said

The assignment is so important

Gabriel Afolayan, a talented Nollywood actor and singer, shocked fans when his marriage hit the rocks. He had married his longtime girlfriend, Adebanke, in a quiet but elegant ceremony that many thought was the beginning of a beautiful love story. For a while, everything seemed perfect between them, with the couple sharing happy moments on social media and appearing deeply in love.

However, in 2020, rumors began circulating that their marriage was in trouble. The whispers quickly turned into full-blown scandal when it was alleged that Gabriel’s wife had cheated on him with a close associate in the entertainment industry. The man she was rumored to have had an affair with was popular music executive and socialite, Banky W, although neither party publicly confirmed the affair. The news broke the internet and fans were divided, with many expressing shock and disappointment.

Sources close to the couple claimed that Gabriel had discovered the betrayal through leaked chats and phone conversations, which deeply hurt him. Though he tried to handle the matter privately, the scandal eventually spilled into the public, and Gabriel, known for his calm and respectful nature, quietly walked away from the marriage without much public drama.

Despite the heartbreak, Gabriel focused on his career and stayed off the spotlight for a while, choosing peace and healing over media battles. His silence was seen as a sign of maturity, and many commended him for not letting the scandal define him. To this day, Gabriel Afolayan has remained focused on his craft, proving that even in the face of personal pain, true strength is in how you rise.

If your faith is shaken/broken because of the scandals pastors get themselves into you were not truly a follower of Jesus to begin with. Men and women of God are only meant to point you in the direction of Christ, then you personally walk the road to glory yourself with the Holy Spirit.

S€X AND SUCCESS DON’T MIX – WHY UNDISCIPLINED MEN NEVER BECOME GREAT

Some men dream of success.
Some men work for success.
Some men destroy their success before it even starts.

And guess what? For many men, the biggest distraction is S€X.

A man who chases pleasure over purpose will always be left behind.
A man who controls his desires will always be ahead.

Success requires discipline.
Sexual indulgence destroys discipline.

If you can’t control your lust, you will never control your future.

BRUTAL THREAD:

1. POWERFUL MEN AVOID S€XUAL DISTRACTIONS, WEAK MEN CAN’T SAY NO

Every great man in history had one thing in common: They had discipline.

Alexander the Great conquered the world by 30—he didn’t waste time chasing women.
Elon Musk works 100 hours a week—he doesn’t waste time texting girls.

Muhammad Ali refused s€x before fights—he knew discipline was power.
But look at many men today:

Wasting hours daily on p0rn and m@sturbation.
Spending their last money just to impress women.

Crying over a girl instead of building their future.
No great man was ever a slave to lust.

2. S£X DRAINS YOUR ENERGY, FOCUS, AND DRIVE

Every time you release, you are losing more than just a few seconds of pleasure.
You are losing:
Testosterone (your natural energy for success).

Motivation (your hunger to win).
Mental clarity (your ability to stay focused).
That’s why after s£x, many men feel weak and lazy.

Now imagine:
Doing this every day.
Wasting hours texting, chasing, and begging women.
Spending money just to get a few minutes of pleasure.
That’s why broke men chase s£x, and rich men chase success.

3. EVERY MINUTE SPENT CHASING WOMEN IS A MINUTE LOST BUILDING YOUR FUTURE

Look at your daily habits.
How much time do you spend scrolling through women’s pictures?
How much time do you waste flirting and simping in DMs?

How much time do you spend watching p0rn and draining your strength?
Now imagine using that time to:
Learn a high-income skill.
Work on your business or career.

Go to the gym and improve your body.
If you focused on building, you wouldn’t need to chase—women would come to you.

4. HISTORY PROVES THAT S£XUAL WEAKNESS DESTROYS GREAT MEN

Ask yourself: What destroyed the strongest men in history?
Not war. Not enemies. Not poverty.
It was s£xual weakness.
Samson lost his power because of Delilah.

King Solomon was the wisest man, but women led him to destruction.

Tiger Woods lost millions in endorsements due to a s£x scandal.

Bill Clinton’s career was almost ruined by a woman.

A man without discipline is a man waiting for destruction.

5. WOMEN DON’T RESPECT MEN WHO CAN’T CONTROL THEMSELVES

You think a woman respects a man who chases her all day?
You think she values a man who is always available and begging?

No.
A woman respects men who have:
Purpose.
Self-control.
A bigger mission in life.

When you focus on your purpose, women will focus on you.

6. P0RN, M@STURBATION & CASUAL S£X ARE MAKING MEN WEAKER

The modern man is weak, lazy, and broke because he is addicted to cheap pleasure.

P0rn kills your brain.
M@sturbation destroys your energy.
Casual s£x makes you indisciplined.
That’s why so many men are:

Unmotivated.
Struggling financially.
Depressed and directionless.

If you want to be great, you must cut off s£xual distractions.

7. A MAN WHO CAN’T CONTROL HIS URGES CAN’T CONTROL HIS DESTINY

You say you want to be rich, powerful, and successful.
But you can’t even:
Go a week without s£x or p0rn.

Focus on work without being distracted by women.
Stop simping and chasing after every woman you see.
If you can’t master your own body, how can you master the world?

8. SUCCESSFUL MEN CONTROL S£X, BROKE MEN ARE CONTROLLED BY S€X

S€x is a tool.
The weak use it for pleasure.
The strong use it for power.

A successful man controls when and how he engages in s€x.
A broke man lets s€x control him.
That’s why the world is run by disciplined men, not by men who chase pleasure.

9. WOMEN COME AND GO, BUT SUCCESS STAYS

A man can have 100 women today, and they can all leave tomorrow.
But if you have money, power, and status, even more women will come.

That’s why powerful men never lack women.
And that’s why weak men are always chasing.

10. DISCIPLINE FIRST, PLEASURE LATER

There is nothing wrong with s£x.

But if you put pleasure before purpose, you will always struggle.
If you master self-control, you will always be ahead.

The choice is yours.

BOTTOM LINE:

If you want to be great, wealthy, and powerful, learn to control your lust.

Because in the end…

Men who control their desires, control their future.
Men who chase pleasure, lose everything.
@highlight
@topfans

Aunty werey I married my old man but he is certainly not your regular old man. He is everything your kind prays for but can’t attract. Don’t get me started to tell the world how you were chasing this same old man.

Now let your age reflect your reasoning. Clearly you failed because a girl that once admired you when she was 6 sees you as nothing to write home about.

And for Christ sake stop comparing yourself to me !!! It will be a huge disrespect to me and everyone that supports my movement. You and I are not the same. Not even close. I am bigger than you and your entire music/movie career. Let’s not even mention my mama (Mercy Johnson) whose name rings the loudest bell. I don’t need scandals or shadows to shine.

Age? It’s just a number. What truly counts is how you’ve lived, what you’ve built, and who you’ve become. The roads I’ve walked, the milestones I’ve hit with grace, not disgrace are places your bitterness will never carry you.

The 4 Worst Popes in the History of the Catholic Church

The Catholic Church is holy, but it is also human. While the Church was founded by Jesus Christ and guided by the Holy Spirit, its leaders—especially the popes—have been fallible men. Most popes throughout history have been faithful shepherds, but a few have sadly fallen short. It's important to remember that the holiness of the Church does not depend on the personal holiness of its leaders, but on Christ, who promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against it.

Here are a few of the most notorious popes in Church history—men whose personal failures did not undo the truth of the faith:

1. Pope Stephen VI (896–897)
Stephen is infamous for the bizarre “Cadaver Synod.” He had the corpse of his predecessor, Pope Formosus, exhumed, dressed in papal robes, placed on a throne, and put on trial. The corpse was found guilty, stripped of its vestments, and thrown into the Tiber River. His actions caused outrage and unrest.

2. Pope John XII (955–964)
John XII became pope at just 18 and used the papacy for personal pleasure. His reign was marked by scandal, immorality, and corruption. He was accused of turning the Lateran Palace into a den of vice, and many historians rank him among the most morally corrupt pontiffs in history.

3. Pope Benedict IX (multiple terms between 1032–1048)
Benedict IX was pope on three separate occasions, and his papacy was plagued by bribery, violence, and scandal. He reportedly sold the papacy to his godfather so he could marry, and was later reinstated through political maneuvering. His behavior was so scandalous that even reformers within the Church called for drastic change.

4. Pope Alexander VI (1492–1503)
Born Rodrigo Borgia, Alexander VI is infamous for nepotism, lavish living, and fathering several children while pope. His papacy was entangled with political manipulation, bribery, and immorality. Yet, despite his personal flaws, he never altered Church doctrine.

Why This Matters
While these popes were deeply flawed, none of them ever changed official Church teachings on faith or morals. This is a sign of God's protection over His Church, even when human leaders fail.

The Catholic Church has endured for over 2,000 years—not because its leaders have always been perfect, but because Jesus Himself is the true head of the Church.

A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE KEEPER ACCIDENTALLY SLEPT OFF IN THE BILLIONAIRE'S HOTEL ROOM
EPISODE 5
The peace didn’t last. Three days after Liam showed up at Alma’s apartment, news broke like a wildfire across social media and gossip blogs. “Billionaire Liam Hart Caught in Scandal with Hotel Housekeeper”—headlines screamed, photos splashed across timelines: one showed Alma stepping out of Liam’s car, another captured him entering her building. A third—more invasive—was a blurred shot of them hugging in her doorway. Alma’s world spun. She had never known this kind of attention, and it wasn’t the fairytale kind. It was cruel. Her inbox flooded with hateful messages. “Gold digger.” “Social climber.” “He’ll drop you soon.” The hotel press office issued a cold, rehearsed statement: “We are investigating internal staff relationships to maintain professional standards.” The management who once apologized to her were now silent.

Liam tried to shield her, but the damage spread. Business partners pulled away from him. Investors raised questions. And when Alma walked through the hotel lobby just once—head low, heart beating—someone spat near her feet. It was too much. She broke down that night. “I can’t do this, Liam,” she whispered, tears falling as she sat on his expensive couch, curled into herself. “This isn’t my world. I’m not strong enough for this.” He dropped to his knees in front of her. “I didn’t bring you into my world. You became part of it the day you fell asleep in my room like it was the safest place in the world. I don’t care about them, Alma. Let them talk. Let them scream. I only care about us.” She shook her head. “What if I ruin your name? Your empire?” He reached into his pocket and pulled out something small—silver, delicate, and glinting. A key. He pressed it into her palm. “This isn’t a ring. Not yet. But it’s the key to my house. You’re free to walk away, but I want you to know the door will always be open. For you. For Daniel. For a future we build, not one we inherit.”

She sobbed into his shoulder, and for the first time in weeks, her heart felt steady. She didn’t walk away. She walked with him. Days passed. Then weeks. Liam took a step back from the press, released a simple statement of his own: “The woman I’m seeing didn’t sneak into my life—she walked in and changed it. I’m not ashamed. She’s not my scandal. She’s my peace.”

The world moved on. Gossip found new fuel somewhere else. The noise faded. And in the quiet, Alma found something she never expected—love without condition.

One year later, Liam returned to Suite 709, this time holding Alma’s hand. He opened the door, now renovated and filled with sunlight, and turned to her with a smile. “Remember this place?” She laughed. “The bed I wasn’t supposed to sleep on?” “The bed that changed my life,” he said softly. “And now… I think it’s time.”

He knelt, pulled out a velvet box, and opened it. “This time, it’s not a key.” Alma gasped, her hand over her mouth, tears falling freely. “Alma Adeyemi, will you marry me?”

Her answer was the only truth that mattered. “Yes.”

Not because he was a billionaire. But because he saw her. And loved her. In a world built on power, she was the only thing that ever made him feel human.

THE END.

Good morning


*Compiled by Hon. Osuji George [email protected], +234-8122200446*

My mom caught me doing soapy with a bar of Dettol on the bed!
She shouted CHIDI!!! What are you doing with soap on my bed
I froze like NEPA took light inside my soul
I said Mummy what
That day, Dettol became evidence and my shame became loud.
She didn’t just shout she gave me a lecture I’ll never forget
Now anytime she wants to disgrace me in public she just says, “Remember the day of the soap

Chidi was a 17-year-old boy with the curiosity of a cat and the awkwardness of teenage hormones. He had recently been exposed to some things on his friend’s phone things that sent his imagination on a one-way trip. His mother Mama Chidi, a strong Nigerian woman with sharp eyes and sharper instincts, had always warned him: “Don’t go and be learning rubbish from those boys in the street!” But of course, Chidi, being Chidi, didn’t think advice applied to him.

One sunny afternoon, Mama Chidi had gone to the market Chidi, home alone, saw it as the perfect time to explore what his friends had described as soapy He sneaked into his room with a bar of soap and locked the door like he was hiding treasure. His heart was beating fast not because of guilt, but because he didn’t want to get caught doing something he barely understood

He sat on the bed, placed a towel beside him, and began his experiment. What he didn’t know was that his mother had forgotten her wallet and was already on her way back home As he sat there mid-act, half-confused, half-focused the door suddenly burst open. Mama Chidi stood there, eyes wide, mouth wider

“CHIDI!!!” she screamed. “What in the name of Saint Anthony are you doing on that bed with my Dettol soap

Chidi froze. Soap in hand. Eyes red. Spirit disconnected from body.

M-mum… what?” he stammered, trying to hide the evidence

What? You’re asking me what?!” she shouted again marching closer like a judge ready to deliver holy punishment

Chidi dropped the soap and sat up, sweating I was just trying something I saw online

Mama Chidi placed her hands on her waist, looked at him, and asked one question that could shatter a soul Is this what I trained you for? Soapy?! On my bed? With Dettol

He looked down, ashamed. “Mummy I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me

There was silence

Then, unexpectedly, she sighed and sat beside him Chidi she said softly, “I know you’re growing up. I know your body is doing you somehow. But this thing you’re doing ehn there are better ways to understand your body without turning your room into a car wash

Chidi almost choked on his saliva Mummy

She laughed, but not with anger See your life. You now know how shame feels, abi

He nodded quickly, avoiding eye contact

She stood up and said, “Clean yourself, take this towel to the laundry, and please soap is for bathing, not for bedroom rituals Then she walked away, shaking her head and mumbling Soapy in this house Chineke me

From that day, Chidi became more careful. Not just because of the embarrassment, but because he realized he could talk to his mum about awkward things without being judged. Weeks later, she bought him a small book on puberty and told him, “Next time you’re confused, read this or ask me and I’ll explain without shouting

Their bond grew stronger. They talked more openly And Chidi never saw soap the same way again

Lesson

Curiosity is normal but be wise with what you explore

Parents shouting doesn’t always mean they don’t understand sometimes, they’re just shocked

And most importantly, soap is for skin not scandal

That day became family legend. And whenever Mama Chidi wants to make Chidi uncomfortable at family events she just says Who remembers the day of the soap and everyone bursts into laughter
