Apostle Olopade Heals Man With COVID-19, Requests to Visit Isolation Centres

Another Popular cleric in Ondo State, Apostle Olopade Elijah Oluwatosin, who is the lead pastor of the House of Encounters International Ministries, has called on the government and the general public to permit him into isolation centers to pray for people with COVID-19 symptoms. Apostle Elijah stated that he already prayed for a case which now tests negative as a testimony. This is coming after Apostle Johnson Suleiman of the Omega Fire Ministries made the same declaration of healing COVID-19 patients in a Sunday service video.

In an official statement released via his social media handle, Apostle Elijah Olopade said:

"In case you have anyone with the Covid-19 symptoms, or you know any isolation center that will permit me to come pray, please send a text or call me directly on +234(0)9069652349."

 

According to the cleric, he is on the search for such cases to prove the healing power of God at work. In his words, "To God's glory, I've been able to pray for a case. God healed him and the symptoms stopped. So I'm looking for more cases."

Tsion Academy Launches Education Fund Bank to Sponsor Out of School Children

In Africa, reports and statistics show that as at 2018, 258 million children were out of school. Today, the numbers are rising geometrically; yet the social, political and economic factors in many African countries are not helping the situation of things.

 

During the COVID-19 pandemic year, Abayomi Adeola Della alongside a team of volunteers started a program in Osogbo, Ilorin and Akure, hosting over 300 children and teaching them Basic Education. Within three months of running, the team realized the increasing rate of out of school children and decided to launch the academy.

To do this, the team lead, Abayomi Adeola Della joined other women to fund the education of 100 children and get them into a mentoring programme with seasoned mentors. Between April and July 2021, they adopted and included over 25 children, putting them into the mentoring programme that ran from April through July 2021.

 

 

If we get more children to school - a school that caters for their academics, life skills and global citizenship education, nurtured with Mentorship, imagine what Africa would look like.

According to the official release, Adeola Abayomi Della's visionary assignment is to establish a FREE and QUALITY basic school for children where they can be groomed on relevant subjects, talents and life skills, having assessed their skills, passion and interests. The school is proposed to kick off from Ile-Ife, South-Western Nigeria, with at least 150 children.

The official release also shows the proposed plan by Tsion Academy to adequately take care of activities that many traditional schools  cannot operate. The team has gathered information and research work about the out of school children since July 2020 and now seeks to establish the free part time school for these out of school children. The Tsion Academy also hopes to focus on teaching the students monetized crafts and exposing them to solving global problems and challenges.

1. To start a *free and quality school* to complement what the children are taught in school but with the mix of teaching them tech, arts and crafts, dance, entrepreneurship and other global opportunities we can plug into that would be relevant to the goal.

2. We would be creating an *Education Fund Bank* that would cater for children whenever they need school fees. We would build a bank that would take care of at least 150 children in low income communities conveniently and keep funding the bank at 3-6 months intervals.

 

The release closed with an official call to fund the education bank. For interested donations, individuals, brands and organisations are advised to pay online using Flutterwave here or use the official fundraiser page hosted on Donate-NG. As an alternative, direct donations and funding can also be made payable via transfers only to Tsion Academy, WEMA Bank, 7810904848.

Coronavirus: Our Health in Nose Masks

As Government partially ease lockdown in various Countries globally, world governments through the United Nations World Health Organisation and several Health Organsations have now advised the use of nose masks in public settings.

Nose and face masks particularly became popular in use since the commencement of the lockdown on movement in various countries across the world in a means to reduce the wide spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Currently there is no clinically proven vaccine for Covid-19 (as at the time of publishing this content), and it appears that several country's economy is crashing down, in order to prevent the crashing of the economy and as well reducing the spread of COVID-19 by the use of nosemasks.

The use of Nose masks as the "New Normal" all across the world and the main question is does the use of a nose mask prevent COVID-19? Although the advise on the use of nosemasks when outside the house in a community setting is way different in various Countries. In Asia Countries, the wearing of nose masks in public has been a new normal since the outbreak of COVID-19.

In some European countries like Austria, Spain and the UK, there are enforcement on the use of nose masks in public gathering,

In some African countries like Nigeria where lockdown has been partially eased the use of Nose masks is enforced in order to prevent the wide spread of respiratory infectious disease such as the COVID-19.

The use of Nose masks is not an alternative to staying at home when you feel sick, the Government advised that when feel sick staying at home (self isolation) is one of the best way to reduce the spread of the virus. And it is not an alternative for hygiene such as washing the hand with soap and alcohol based hand sanitizer.

What experts Say about Nosemasks in prevention of COVID-19.

According to Prof Trish Greenhalgh, the professor of primary Health Care sciences, Niffield department of primary care health sciences, the University of Oxford. He said; 'The science on this is clear: Covid-19 is most commonly transmitted by droplets emitted when we cough, sneeze, shout, sing and even just breathe in close proximity to others. Cloth face coverings are highly effective at blocking droplets coming out of the mouth and nose. They’re not perfect, but if you can stop 90 or 95% of the droplets this will cause a very dramatic reduction in the number of people who catch the virus'.

'Face coverings, which can be made out of a double layer of cloth, are a crucially important measure for bringing the country out of lockdown, since in reality few of us can get properly back to work without getting within 2 metres of other people (either while travelling to work or in offices and factories). We can’t stay behind our front doors forever, and nobody wants a second wave of Covid-19, so covering our faces will become the new normal in public places, workplaces and on public transport.'


However, World Health Organization (WHO) published on April 6,2020 stated that "wearing a nosemask in the public is one of the means and measures to prevent and limit the spread of certain respiratory disease including the COVID-19. Importantly, WHO warns that facemasks and nosemasks are not a replacement for other protective such as Social distancing combined with other measures such as hygiene.

17. Olowo of Owo - Oba Olateru Olagbegi II

Unarguably the richest and most influential Olowo of Owo town in Ondo state, Oba Olateru became Olowo in 1941 and reigned till 1966 when he took side with Chief S.L Akintola against Chief Awolowo who was his ally. Of a fact, Awolowo Action Group party was founded right inside Olowo palace and Owo for years experienced political and kingship battle, which came to a climax in 1966 following a cold blooded coup with many properties and lives lost in the course. The people of Owo revolted their King and sent him away on exile where he lived for another 27yrs, and his stool was taken over by Oba Ogunoye. At the demise of Ogunoye, Olateru was reappointed as the new Olowo of Owo in 1993 and spent another 5yrs on the throne till he died in 1998. His eldest son, took over from him in 1999 and reigned for 20yrs.

18. Deji of Akure - Oba Oluwadamilare Adesina Osupa III

The inglorious exit of Oba Oluwadamilare as Paramount king of Akure is another reminder of the importance of carriage and conduct in kingship, as they are seen as leaders and role models. The king was deposed on 10th of June, 2010 following the beating of his estranged wife at her home in Akure, in what the Ondo state government referred to as, a dishonorable, condemnable and disgraceful conduct unexpected of a king which invoked a section of the state chieftaincy law of 1984 as amended. With an immediate action, a new Deji of Akure Adebiyi Adeshida Afunbiowo II was announced on 13th of August 2010.

Other Kings dethroned are;
