Former Arsenal Goalkeeper Dies at 48 in Train Collision

The football world has been thrown into mourning following the tragic death of former Arsenal goalkeeper Alex Manninger, who reportedly died at the age of 48 after his car was struck by a train. According to multiple international media reports, the incident occurred at a railway crossing in Austria, where Manninger’s vehicle was hit in a devastating collision.

Let the Full Message Speak’: CMDM Member Counters Accusations Against Fufeyin



In recent days, a viral video clip of a sermon delivered by Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin, the General Overseer of Christ Mercyland Deliverance Ministry (CMDM), has generated intense controversy and provoked sharp reactions, including a recent public condemnation by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN). The clip, which is an excerpt from a message preached in January 2025, has been used as the basis for unfounded accusations branding the man of God a “fraud” and accusing him of promoting heretical doctrines.

As a longstanding member of the ministry and a firsthand witness to both the context and intent of the message, I feel compelled to set the record straight and offer this rejoinder in defense of the truth, for the sake of public clarity and to prevent further misleading narratives.

Misrepresentation of the Message

The portion of the sermon that has gone viral focuses specifically on the biblical principle of the first fruit—a concept firmly rooted in Scripture (Proverbs 3:9-10, Romans 11:16, Ezekiel 44:30). In that message, Prophet Fufeyin encouraged members to honor God with their first earnings of the year as an act of faith, sacrifice, and covenant alignment. It is important to emphasize that the Prophet never stated that money, including first fruits, can “buy” forgiveness or automatically absolve individuals of fraud or sin.

Unfortunately, the clip being circulated was heavily edited, stripped of its full context, and published by a blogger clearly motivated by a personal agenda rather than a pursuit of truth. By omitting crucial portions of the sermon that emphasized repentance, transformation, and obedience to God, the video has given an entirely false impression of both the message and the messenger.

Theological Clarification

Prophet Fufeyin, in that sermon, highlighted the mysterious ways through which divine principles like the first fruit offering can unlock God’s favor and mercy, especially when accompanied by genuine repentance and faith. It is a gross distortion to interpret this as an endorsement of sin or a suggestion that financial offerings can “cancel” fraud without accountability. CMDM does not preach transactional grace but promotes holistic spiritual renewal that includes moral uprightness and social responsibility.

Unwarranted Attack by CAN

While we deeply respect the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) for its role as a unifying voice for the Body of Christ, it is unfortunate that its recent statement appears to have been made without a thorough review of the full message or a fair hearing with Prophet Fufeyin. No man or ministry is above scrutiny, but Christian leaders also have a duty to investigate responsibly before drawing public conclusions, especially in this digital age where misinformation spreads rapidly.

Appeal for Truth and Unity

Let it be known that CMDM remains a law-abiding, spirit-filled, and biblically grounded ministry committed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin has consistently used his platform to promote love, deliverance, and spiritual growth for thousands across Nigeria and beyond.

To label him a “fraudster” or to equate his teachings with deception is not only misleading but a disservice to the millions who have encountered God through his ministry. We appeal to CAN and the general public to refrain from further judgment based on half-truths and instead embrace dialogue, truth, and unity within the Church.

Conclusion

The Body of Christ must rise above sensationalism and character assassination. Let us not be quick to condemn servants of God based on edited soundbites or biased reporting. As believers, we owe each other the grace of context, the courtesy of inquiry, and the commitment to truth.

Let the full message speak. And let Christ, not controversy, be our focus.

BREAKING: PDP Bleeds in Oriade: Commissioner Loses 14 Party Leaders to Wole Oke in Home Ward

In a significant political shift, 14 grassroots leaders, including prominent women and youth coordinators from Ward 11, covering Ijeda and Iloko in Oriade Local Government Area of Osun State, have resigned from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and pledged allegiance to Hon. Wole Oke’s growing political camp in the All Progressives Congress (APC). The mass resignation, formalized in a jointly signed letter, marks a deepening crack within the PDP structure in Oriade, as key mobilizers abandon the party over what they describe as years of marginalization, poor internal democracy, and a lack of direction. Their defection is also seen as a major boost to Wole Oke’s political momentum within the APC, following his recent and controversial departure from the PDP. “We are grateful for the opportunities and experiences we had as PDP members,” the group stated, “but the party no longer reflects our values or aspirations. We believe in Hon. Wole Oke’s leadership and vision, and we are proud to...

BREAKING: Esa-Oke Youths Reunite as Survivors, Caution Pelumi against revisionism

....we’re not your campaign slogan Once upon a glorious, chaotic 2017, practically every able-bodied youth in Esa-Oke held honorary title in the land: Personal Assistant to Barrister Pelumi Olajengbesi. No interviews. No pay. Just passion, blind loyalty, and the stamina to chase him from one campaign ground to the next like a political body double. From Comrade Mainframe to Comrade Swiss, from Yinka Oba to the humble football boys who carried cones like national flags, we were there. We were the movement. Until, of course. Now in 2025, Barrister Pelumi, clearly inspired by a Netflix political drama is on a media tour telling anyone who’ll listen that he "settled everyone who worked for him." Settled who, please? Maybe in his dreams or in the metaverse. In the real world, the story’s a bit different. Those of us from Obokun, who hustled day and night, got exactly zero: no thank you, no handshake. Take Sami, now a former Ward 7 councillor, no thanks from Pelumi. Folusho? Aregbe...

Assassination Attempt: Police can’t deny what’s on their desk, says Amotekun boss

  The Corps Commander of the Osun Amotekun Corps , High Chief Dr Hon. Adekunle Isaac Omoyele , who is currently receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital following an attempted assassination on his life on Monday, has strongly refuted the claims made by the Osun State Police Spokeperson regarding the incident. Reacting to the statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), who claimed that investigations had not commenced because the Commander had not provided evidence of the attack, the Amotekun boss expressed deep disappointment, labeling the police response as insensitive and misleading. "It is shocking that a police spokesperson would say there is no evidence of an attack when the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Ota-Efun Division — the nearest jurisdiction to the incident — was immediately informed," the Commander said. "Officers from that division visited the scene the same night, assessed the damage, evacuated the vehicle, and advised me to seek ...
