Publisher of Ovation International, Dele Momodu, has opened up about a major financial setback he experienced when he ventured into the restaurant business in Ghana, revealing that the investment cost him more than $500,000. Momodu disclosed this during an appearance on the ‘Building Wealth with Femi’ podcast.  Momodu said that he experienced financial loss in his attempt to diversify his investments.  He said:  “The time I lost money was when I tried to diversify.  “People always think that diversification means you will make more money. No, unless you are very lucky, you can lose all your money while trying that.  “I tried to do a restaurant business in Accra, Ghana, and I lost over half a million dollars.  “It was called the House of Ovation in Ghana. Very beautiful, great ideas, good food. I employed the best chefs.”   Responding to what went wrong, Momodu stated,  “Everything that could go wrong went wrong.”  He explained that part of th...

The Founder and General Overseer of the Mountain of Liberation and Miracle Ministries, widely known as the Grace Nation International or Liberation City, Pastor Chris Okafor has withdrawn the apology he earlier issued to Nollywood actress, Doris Ogala for his alleged years-long secret romance with her. The actress called out the clergyman last year for dumping her after promising her marriage in their eight years of sexual relationship. The saga broke out after a video clip of the clergyman engaging a young lady surfaced on social media. Doris Ogala, who demanded compensation, further accused the cleric of involvement in scandalous and criminal activities. Amid the controversy, Okafor gave the actress $10,000, which she said was too small compared to the evidence she has against him. Following the development, Okafor during a Sunday service, tendered an open apology to Doris Ogala and begged her and other women he had hurt for forgiveness. Recall that despite the apology, the actress c...

Outspoken Plateau State clergyman, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, has disclosed that countries such as Australia, Austria, and other European nations offered him asylum at the height of alleged threats to his life and a bounty reportedly placed on his head by Islamist extremists. The vocal man of God, who is the Regional Chairman of the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of the state, however, said he turned down the offers as he prefers to stay in Nigeria and fight for persecuted Christians in Plateau, in particular, and Nigeria in general. Dachomo, who made the revelations in an interview on Wednesday, said though the asylum offers came at a time when the death threats were coming daily, coupled with veiled warnings from the presidency, he had to reject them as he is neither a coward nor one who would abandon his flock for the safety of a foreign country. The cleric insisted that even at the point of death, he will remain in the country and continue stan...

  President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the immediate suspension of the controversial cashless policy introduced by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN). This is coming barely four days after its rollout triggered massive gridlock at major airports nationwide.

It sparked severe traffic jams at key facilities such as Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, and Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, resulting in long queues, stranded motorists and numerous missed flights. Minister of Aviation and Aerospace, Festus Keyamo, announced the suspension of the policy while briefing State House Correspondents on the outcome of the Federal Executive Council (FEC), meeting presided over by President Tinubu. According to the minister, Tinubu asked the aviation ministry and the leadership of FAAN to halt impleme...
