RCCG Brings Home Second Batch of Stranded Nigerians from South Africa

Published

on

In a powerful display of humanitarian action, the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) has successfully evacuated a second batch of 105 stranded Nigerians from South Africa. The group arrived safely at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA) in Lagos late on Friday night, October 1, 2026.
This latest airlift is part of a massive, church-funded intervention designed to rescue citizens facing intense anti-migrant pressure and growing xenophobic tensions in South Africa.
The rescue mission is picking up rapid momentum as the situation on the ground intensifies. Here is where the initiative stands:
  • Who Returned: The second batch of 105 individuals included 55 adults, 45 children, and 5 infants.
  • The Total So Far: This flight brings the cumulative number of rescued Nigerians to 205 people, following the first batch of 100 citizens who landed safely on September 24, 2026.
  • The $265,000+ Commitment: Driven by an urgent appeal from the Nigerian High Commission, RCCG General Overseer Pastor Enoch Adeboye approved a $265,854 donation to purchase one-way tickets home.
  • What’s Next: The church has committed to evacuating a total target of 500 distressed Nigerians, meaning approximately 295 citizens are still awaiting profiling and future flights home.
The timing of the flight was incredibly narrow. Just two days prior, on September 30, a deadline issued by South African anti-migrant groups demanded that undocumented foreigners leave the country.
Returning citizens shared harrowing stories upon landing in Lagos. Many detailed a reality of constant police harassment, fear of violence, and systemic barriers that made running local businesses impossible. According to several returnees, even legally documented foreign residents were being pressured to leave, creating an atmosphere of ambient fear.
Despite being funded entirely by a Christian organization, officials have emphasized that the intervention transcends religion. Pastor Belemina Obunge, Chairman of the RCCG Task Force, reinforced that the operation is strictly a humanitarian safety net meant to complement the Nigerian Federal Government’s ongoing repatriation efforts. The only prerequisite for receiving a ticket home is Nigerian nationality.
As the remaining 295 citizens await their paperwork and flights, the focus now shifts toward helping these 205 returnees pick up the pieces and rebuild their lives back home in Nigeria.

For decades, the original 1993 Mount Zion Christian classic Agbara Nla (internationally known as The Ultimate Power) held a sacred place in the hearts of millions. The groundbreaking series captivated audiences with its raw spiritual themes and unforgettable characters.
Decades later, the magic is back. The modern sequel is directed by the talented duo Damilola Mike-Bamiloye and Joshua Bamiloye, representing a powerful collaboration between Mount Zion Film Productions, Sozo Films, and Circuits.
In a nostalgic treat for lifelong fans, veteran creator Mike Bamiloye reprises his iconic role as the herbalist Isawuru, bridging the gap between old-school legacy and modern cinematic excellence.
Spontaneous Worship in the Cinema
What truly sets Agbara Nla: The Return apart is the unprecedented atmosphere it is creating in theaters. This isn’t just a standard movie-going experience; it has turned into a moving, spiritual event.
Reports across various screening halls indicate that the film’s powerful themes have sparked incredible, spontaneous communal reactions. Rather than just sitting silently, audience members have been breaking out into unified worship, singing, and prayer directly inside cinema halls. It is a testament to the film’s deep emotional and spiritual resonance with the public.
Agbara Nla: The Return has proven that faith-based cinema holds immense commercial power, cultural relevance, and artistic excellence in modern Nollywood. The film is currently drawing massive crowds, making it the must-see cinematic event of the year.

Tola Omoniyi Releases New Book "DISTORIA: Bible Stories"

A Modern Reimagining of Timeless Biblical Narratives: “DISTORIA: Bible Stories” by Tola Omoniyi

Tola Omoniyi, media entrepreneur and founder of Praiseworld Radio, proudly announces the release of his debut book, “DISTORIA: Bible Stories.” This innovative collection reimagines 30 classic Biblical stories, breathing new life into them with contemporary context to captivate today’s readers.

Many are familiar with Bible stories, but how many truly grasp their meaning? Often, these stories seem distant and unrelatable due to their ancient language and context. Tola Omoniyi’s acclaimed podcast, “Telling Bible Stories with TOLA,” launched five years ago and spanning over five seasons, has successfully bridged this gap by presenting these timeless tales in a modern, engaging manner.

Inspired by the podcast’s success, Tola decided to extend his reach to book lovers. “Seeing the impact of the podcast and how it inspired my listeners, I wanted to spread these stories to a wider audience, those who would rather read a book than listen to a podcast,” he explains.

“DISTORIA: Bible Stories” is far from a simple retelling. Tola’s vibrant prose and compelling storytelling bring a fresh perspective to these ancient narratives, making them feel immediate and relevant. He skillfully bridges the past and present, exploring the depths of Biblical values in a way that speaks directly to the soul and resonates with today’s world. Each story is followed by practical lessons and the original scriptural reference.

“Whether you’re a seasoned believer or a curious seeker, ‘DISTORIA’ promises to captivate, inspire, entertain, and challenge you in unexpected ways,” says Tola Omoniyi. “Dive in and relive ancient experiences that speak to our contemporary world like never before.”
