Evangelist Mike Bamiloye’s Old Reply to Troll Resurfaces After ‘Agbara Nla’ Release

Published

on

 

An old social media reply by Evangelist Mike Bamiloye has resurfaced following the box office success of ‘Agbara Nla’.

In November 2024, Bamiloye responded to a user who accused the producers of tarnishing the image of traditional deities in the then-upcoming film and described Christianity as “stupid.” The veteran filmmaker did not hold back in setting the record straight on the supremacy of “The God we serve”.

He concluded his response with a prayer: “You shall be converted to Jesus Christ and preach the gospel I have been preaching for the past 50 years.”

Meet The Man That Archbishop Benson Idahosa Raised From The Dead at Age 5

Published

on

Apostle Ohis Ojeikere recently during a service at The Votage Church captivated the congregation by introducing a grown man who, as a five-year-old child, was reportedly raised from the dead by the late, legendary pioneer of African Pentecostalism, Archbishop Benson Idahosa.

A video of the powerful and extraordinary testimony shows the young man tell the extraordinary story of how he had died decades earlier at age 5, only to be brought back to life through the fierce faith and prayers of the Archbishop.

Archbishop Benson Idahosa, the founder of the Church of God Mission International, was widely known throughout his life for his radical approach to faith. While this specific man was raised at age 5, Idahosa’s very first recorded resurrection miracle occurred when he was just a 24-year-old evangelist in Benin City.

According to archival audio and written testimonies from The Dictionary of African Christian Biography: A young Idahosa heard his pastor preach about Jesus’ command to “heal the sick and raise the dead”. Taking it literally, he rode his bicycle through town looking for a dead person to pray for.

The First Miracle: He found a home where a 3-year-old girl (named Inuaghata) had passed away. After clearing the room—following the pattern of Jesus—he prayed aggressively, and the child sneezed and returned to life.

The presentation by Apostle Ohis Ojeikere serves as a living continuation of that legacy, showcasing a grown witness to the miracle ministry that defined Idahosa’s lifetime.

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.

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.
