Pastor Chijioke from Nigeria Pastor Chijioke from Breast and Honey Fellowship International Church was exposed as a scam. If only this pastor knew what was in store for him, but God knows his own - The pastor who sucks on women's breasts deceiving them he is assisting them by removing evil spirits via deliverance service! He could not even refer to a passage in the bible that condones his behaviour.
The celebrant (the cutie in the middle), Moji Tejuosho who is also the the eldest daughter of billionaire businessman, Chief Rasaq Okoya, who is married to Senator, Lanre Tejuoso marked her 50th milestone flanked by friends and family at a party held in her honour. See more photos after break.
In this remarkable story, Adunni, the main character, depicts ambition fuelled with a burning desire to succeed despite all odds. Tales of this type still abound in Lagos, and they are portrayed in the media daily. Adunni is hailed as the poor girl with a rich mind, "Sherlock Holmes," who never stops asking intelligent questions, a child-bride, and a strong-willed girl who grew up fast due to the circumstance her parents put her through. However, she had the guts to pursue the life she wanted. - An education by any means necessary. Adunni finally got her groove back after reading such an easy book, I could relate to the characters there. the harsh and despicable reality of Lagos till date. I would recommend this book to my friends and would love to see it turned into a film.
