How I Lost 147 Followers in a Week, After I Queried Why Pastor Jerry Eze Held Healing Services in UK and US, None in Nigeria – Eke Ako
Yes, you read the story right. I lost 147 followers in a week
1. Asking why Pastor Jerry Uchechukwu Eze held prayer and healing conferences in the UK and US 2 YEARS IN A ROW, when he has not held even 1 in his home state of Abia, where his church started, where his people can’t afford 1 square meal, have no government hospitals, have basically zero government support, AND where many DIE DAILY of simple illnesses because they can’t afford hospital bills.
1a. Remember that our pressure led Ebuka Obi to decide to hold the recent prayer conference in his home town. It also led Jerry to give N100m to some youth, although that was not good enough. All the funds made through Christianity are for charity work.
I lost 147 followers in a week for:
2. Stating that Jerry is a religious content creator, while Sabinus is a secular content creator. A simple Google Search will return a result showing that he is a YOUTUBER, see a search result in the photo below.
3. Stating that Social Media Platforms do not reward anyone with money, rather one has to apply for monetisation and submit one’s international passport, account number and other things, to get paid.
4. Stating that the billions of Naira Jerry makes from his church and content creation, totally belong to charity, as his church is a registered charity organisation, which all the proceeds must go to charitable work, according to the articles of incorporation.
4b. Stating that it is insensitive to continue asking vulnerable people who come for prayers to donate money daily as seeds, altar building , and donations to his ministry, while he rakes in millions of Naira daily through his content creation on different social media platforms, which he asks the same vulnerable people to ‘SHARE SHARE SHARE’ to, during his daily prayers.
5. Stating that Acts 2:43-46 is very clear that all the money made through Christianity must be used purely for charity work.
6. Asking why the UK branch of his church and others, PUBLICLY publish their financial reports and statements of activities in the UK, stating clearly what charitable work they used ALL the churches’ funds to do, but refuse to do same in Nigeria.
7. Encouraging Pastor Jerry Eze and other pastors to publish the financial reports and statements of activities OF THEIR CHURCHES in Nigeria, and clearly state what acts of charity they did with the funds their churches or ministries earned in the name of God, as their churches do in the UK.
MY OPINION: I am unhappy that 147 people unfollowed me, but at the same time, I must also thank the 335 people who followed me during the period.
Unfortunately, I will not stop preaching the message of change. I will continue to drain the swamp of political and religious illiteracy, that has stifled the development of our society.
More will unfollow me in the coming days, but more will be liberated.
Politicians and pastors are the two greatest enemies of the people in Nigeria.
IT IS WHAT IT IS!

Enugu Governor Peter Mbah has expressed deep grief over the passing away of former Super Eagles skipper and coach, Christian Chukwu, describing him as a football icon, titan, and phenomenon.
Reacting to the development on Saturday Mbah said: “I received with a deep sense of loss the passing away of Chairman Christian Chukwu. It is a personal loss to us as Ndi Enugu, his home state, and indeed to Nigeria as a nation and Africa as a continent.
“Christian Chukwu was a national icon, a football titan, field marshal, and phenomenon. His exploits as a footballer united the country across ethnic divides and creed.
He was patriotism personified, serving the nation and Africa unreservedly both as a player and coach of the highly successful Rangers International Football Club of Enugu and Super Eagles of Nigeria, which he captained to victory as Green Eagles at the 1980 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON. He also coached the Harambee Stars, Kenya’s senior male national team, among others.
“Chairman, as he was fondly called, gave his all not only to the nation but to the rest of Africa. He wrote his name in gold in the annals of the history of Nigerian and African football.
Our dear legend has gone the way of all mortals, but the fond memories and the pride he gave Ndi Igbo and Nigeria as a whole will be cherished forever.
“My heart goes out to his family, Ndi Enugu, the Nigerian sports community and the entire nation over this irreplaceable loss. May the good Lord grant his soul eternal repose.”

No fewer than seven people lost their lives on Saturday following the detonation of an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) planted by Boko Haram terrorists in Borno State.
The deadly incident occurred along the Maiduguri-Damboa Road, a notorious route that cuts through the Sambisa Forest—an area long plagued by insurgent activities.
The victims were part of a convoy of vehicles being escorted by the military from Damboa to Maiduguri.
According to eyewitness accounts and local sources, the explosion struck as the convoy—organized to provide safe passage through the volatile region—was underway. Several other passengers sustained varying degrees of injuries and were rushed to a hospital in Maiduguri for urgent treatment.
The Maiduguri-Damboa Road serves as a vital link between the state capital and several local government areas in southern Borno, including Chibok and Gwoza.
For years, the route remained closed to civilian traffic due to persistent terrorist threats. However, under the administration of Governor Babagana Zulum, the road was reopened, with military escorts deployed to accompany travelers twice weekly after clearing the area for explosives.
Saturday’s attack raises fresh concerns about the safety of the corridor, despite consistent military presence. The blast also comes just days after Governor Zulum publicly raised alarm over renewed Boko Haram activity in the state, highlighting the persistent threat the group poses to peace and development in the region.
Authorities are yet to release an official statement on the incident, while investigations and security operations in the area continue.
