Tens of thousands of worshippers converged on the Tafawa Balewa Square, Lagos, on Friday, October 2, 2026, for the 10th anniversary edition of the Luli Concert (LC10).

The landmark dusk-to-dawn interdenominational gospel event was centered around the theme “I Will Rejoice in the God of My Salvation” (Habakkuk 3:18). Attendees, many dressed in traditional white garments, filled the venue for a night of intense praise, worship, and spiritual revival.

A massive central choir led the energetic crowd in non-stop, spirit-led gospel music and worship throughout the night. It also featured ministrations from renowned gospel ministers including Tope Alabi, Shola Allyson, Lillian Nneji, Paul Tomisin, and others.

A pastor has sparked reactions online after refunding a N2 million donation from a 24-year-old church member who could not provide a clear explanation of the source of his income.

The incident was narrated by an X user, who detailed how the cleric declined the offering and returned the funds.

My pastor called out a guy today who donated ₦2 million to the church account.

“Who is Mr. P…? I want to pray for him.”

He came out excitedly with his guys.

He was just a small boy of about 24 years old.

Pastor asked, “You sent ₦2 million during the donation last Sunday?”

“Yes, sir.”

“God bless you, my bro. May I know what kind of business you are into?”

“Online business, sir… anything online.”

“Content creation? Freelancing?”

“No, sir. Just online stuff.”

Pastor called the church accountant.

“Please refund his ₦2 million.”

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.”
