Popular Onitsha-based cleric and self-acclaimed lion, Prophet Chukwuemeka Odumeje, who opened up on how he acquired his spiritual powers as published yesterday, in Vanguard, has also revealed how he got the gift of singing.

According to the controversial pastor, he started singing in his mother’s womb.

“I started singing in my mother’s womb,” he said.

He added: “What I possess is a full calling. Everything was given to me so that nobody can brag for me.

“When I’m on the pulpit, I sing the songs that can move me into action. I don’t need anybody to sing for me.”

Odumeje, who has released many songs in recent times, said singing moves him into action.

One of his songs, titled ‘Umu Jesus’,” featuring Ijele Flavour, is still receiving massive airplay.

So also is his highlife-christened track, ‘Great is My God’, featuring Phyno.

‘Umu Jesus’ was produced by multiple award-winning music producer, Mastercraft, and was released on August 21, 2020. His previous released single “Alabasidi” is still gaining more downloads on different digital platforms.

Other songs, include, ‘Iron Like a Lion in the Zion’, ‘Oku Na Ele Ele’, ‘Odomi Na Welete’. ‘Jesus Odumeje’, ‘Ogini Sele Muna Chukwu’ and ‘Iga Egbu Nwa Intervention’.

According to him, he writes his songs, and most times, prays to God to give me an inspiration for a special song that will move mountains.

Odumeje said his mission on earth is to make people know that Jesus will do everything for them.

Speaking in Igbo, the self-acclaimed lion, said Odumeje means Jesus is my leader.

“It is just like saying Jesus is the one leading me. As they call Gozie Okeke, ‘Akanchawa.’ Gozie is not ‘Akanchawa’ but Jesus is.”

“That’s what my music is all about. My music is designed to make people know everything about Jesus,” said the cleric who is more popular among celebrities.

American actress, Keke Palmer has said that she does not believe in the concept of “boyfriend-girlfriend”. Hence, she is single until after walking down the aisle.

The actress took to her Instagram page to share her opinion on love and relationships in a video clip.

She noted that there are men who try to hold down a woman without actually marrying her but tagging her along in the name of a relationship only to end up breaking her heart.

“Dudes be like, I want you to be my girlfriend. But are you going to marry me? Because I’m not trying to be locked into nothing unless you’re going to lock me in for life. Because we can just be friends and kick it until you’re ready to go.”

She also captioned the video thus:

“I don’t believe in girlfriend and boyfriend. I’m single till I’m married. Let’s just kick it love.”

Anthony Joshua will beat Tyson Fury because he is ‘physically superior’, says David Haye.

David Haye: “The skilled boxer doesn’t always win. The boxer with speed, endurance, will to win, strategy, who has trained correctly? There a million elements that go into winning a boxing match but people ignore everything except skills”

Anthony Joshua will defeat Tyson Fury because he is more “athletically gifted”, says David Haye.

IBF, WBA and WBO champion Joshua and WBC title-holder Fury have now “approved a site offer” for their undisputed heavyweight title fight to crown the division’s No 1.

Former heavyweight champion Haye told Sky Sports: “Joshua will win the fight.

“His loss against Andy Ruiz Jr taught him a valuable lesson about complacency and believing your own hype.

“I think Fury is flying so high after his victory in Las Vegas [over Deontay Wilder] and believes he is unbeatable. For good reason – if I were him, I’d think so too.

“Joshua has tasted defeat and will have a different mindset.

“He is so athletically gifted, an Olympic gold medallist who has had so many world title fights, he is newer to the game and is still learning.

“I think that Fury believes he is the finished article. Whereas Joshua doesn’t – he is learning. Fury has been celebrating for a long time.

“This isn’t a bodybuilding competition but I like the mindset and discipline of Joshua.

“In the long term of a physical game like boxing, the dedication and nutrition of Joshua [will come out on top].

“He is an underdog but I like the underdog.

“Joshua is physically superior. If they did any sport outside of boxing, Joshua would win. A boxing match is skill-based and people believe Fury’s skills supersede Joshua’s.

“But the skilled boxer doesn’t always win. The boxer with speed, endurance, will to win, strategy, who has trained correctly? There a million elements that go into winning a boxing match but people ignore everything except skills.”
