Nigerian Billionaire Prophet Joshua Iginla Remarries

A Nigerian billionaire clergyman, Prophet Joshua Iginla, has finally remarried after divorcing his former wife, Mrs Yemisi Iginla.

Mr Iginla, who is the General Overseer of Champions Royal Assembly, Abuja, had in March 2019 personally announced the end of his marriage to Yemisi, who has been alleged to have remarried in the United States of America afterwards.

According to a statement made available to Business Post by one of the cleric’s media handlers on Wednesday night, Prophet Iginla has finally divorced his wife over infidelity and has moved on permanently with his new wife, a prophetess whom we learnt has been a source of peace and happiness to him.

Meanwhile, the man of God, one of the humblest clergies who has chosen his resources to impact the less privileged and the needy, is adding another year today, Thursday, May 21, 2020.

The Abuja-based seer, who is arguably one of the richest prophets globally with acquisition of private jets, mega parishes across the world and ultra-modern buildings home and abroad, didn’t just emerge as an influential and successful man, there are several mind-blowing stories behind his success.

How would one describe a man who rose from nothing to something, a man who was an object of mockery in town, a man who couldn’t afford to eat a two—square meal a day, becoming a man whom every influential person in the world wants to reckon with?

Mr Iginla can be likened to one who was never expected to be successful, but against all odds, woke up to success and started living it.

Little wonder one of the favourite topics to preach for him is God’s grace. Of a truth, grace has visited the man of God and decided to live with him for the rest of his life, judging by the success he has attained.

Prophet Iginla, when he started ministry, used to hold service in a room where 20 people can’t stay comfortably, meaning he had a very small congregation too, but today, his ministry can boast of an 80,000-seater auditorium built in Abuja and South Africa without the support of anyone.

The same cleric that had a small congregation can now boast of hundreds of thousand members who throng his church at every service, including weekdays.

On every May 21, which happens to be his birthday, Brother Joshua Iginla, as he loves to be called, celebrates grace and extends it to his members, widows, less privileges, well-wishers, to mention a few.

During a birthday celebration, he once gave out 32 cars and another 22 vehicles. If one is to count the number of cars the man of God has given out, it would be over 200 by now, for someone who had nothing.

Surprisingly, Joshua Iginla has given out houses, landed properties, cash gifts, to the desolates, the needy, widows and placed over 200 people on lifetime salary.

The Nollywood movie industry will never forget him for his magnanimity towards actors and actresses. He has given them cars, paid hospital bills of a lot of them, given some of them houses and placed many of them of life-time salary.

As a prophet, he has foretold several prophecies that have come to pass. Some of them include the coming of Coronavirus, President Buhari’s deteriorating health condition, the outcome of elections, to mention a few.

No doubt, Brother Iginla has enjoyed God’s grace, he is a true recipient of God’s grace because it keeps increasing, day by day.

As another May 21 hits the corner, one would remember his popular saying that, it’s not a show off but an opportunity to showcase the mercy and Grace of God upon his life and through him to this generation.

Drama Surrounds Igwe on Latest Episode of Heartbeat

The latest episode of Africa Magic Heartbeat saw the house adjusting to recent exits and shifting relationships. Sharon’s earlier departure and Henri’s elimination in episode eight left the remaining singles settling into their pairings while trying to understand where everyone truly stands.

Hilda Reflects on Henri’s Exit

Henri’s departure is still fresh in the house, and Hilda admitted she felt bad that her decision ultimately led to him leaving the Love Pad. However, she maintained that she did not regret choosing Bosah. In her view, even if she had chosen Henri, he likely would have remained in the house pursuing other connections.

Queen Latifah Calls Out Igwe

The episode’s biggest moment began when Queen Latifah expressed concerns about Igwe’s intentions toward Shekinah. While speaking with Hilda, she suggested that Shekinah might be allowing herself to be manipulated by Igwe and questioned whether he was truly serious about her.

Queen Latifah later took the conversation directly to Shekinah, recounting how Igwe had previously shown interest in pursuing her and even suggested he was ready to compete with Ken for her attention. According to Queen Latifah, Igwe later dismissed his connection with Shekinah by saying she was “too serious” for him.

The conversation quickly escalated when Igwe walked in mid-discussion. Words were exchanged as tensions rose, and what began as a private conversation eventually turned into one of the episode’s most heated moments.

Igwe Seeks Clarity From Alvin

Following the confrontation, Igwe later pulled Alvin aside to discuss Shekinah. With the house already questioning his intentions, he wanted to know if there was still anything between Alvin and Shekinah.

Alvin made it clear that things had changed since Ceeoni arrived and that he had no intention of pursuing Shekinah if Igwe was serious about her. The conversation appeared to reassure Igwe that there was no competition from Alvin, and he seemed increasingly focused on resolving things with Shekinah.

In a surprising turn, Igwe also acknowledged that the situation had gotten out of hand and attempted to make peace with Shekinah, even reaching out to Hilda, who is close to her, in hopes of smoothing things over.

A Brief Moment of Jealousy Between Kena and Chidera

Even the strongest couples can experience moments of friction. A brief moment of jealousy surfaced when Kena noticed Chidera wearing Alvin’s jacket, something that made him visibly uncomfortable, given that the two are now committed to each other.

The tension was short-lived when Chidera quickly apologised and reassured him, bringing the moment to a calm resolution.

The episode closed on a lighter note with a couples’ game that lifted everyone’s mood and brought energy back into the Love Pad after a day full of tension. One question lingered across the Love Pad as the episode wrapped up: has Heartbeat’s resident playboy finally fallen in love?

Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi The Fashion Roundtable

By Modupe Gbadeyanka

The new fashion interview show, The Fashion Roundtable, hosted by media personality, Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi, will premiere exclusively on YouTube on Thursday, March 19, 2026.

The programme will unearth the real, unfiltered conversations with the key players shaping Nigeria’s fashion industry.

The show will feature a powerful lineup of guests, including celebrity stylists Swazzi & Zack Aminu, model Ruth Vader, men’s footwear designer Kiing Davids, creative designers, Nkiru Achukwu of Zephans & Co, Morenike Olusanya of Bawsty, Aanuoluwa Ajide-Daniels of Aso and a host of other notable fashion entrepreneurs and industry players.

Viewers can anticipate standout revelations, such as designer Kiing Davids’ attempt at making women’s shoes that he ultimately abandoned, the story of Zephans & Co selling a staggering 35,000 outfits in one year, and the moment Bawsty’s first pop-up saw 600 registrations and sold out in less than two hours.

The host intends to look beyond the glitz and glamour, providing an intimate space for designers, models, and stylists to share their true behind-the-scenes stories.

The Fashion Roundtable is a direct response to the global attention Nigerian fashion is currently receiving, providing an essential platform to document the industry’s complexities.

Each episode features guests who discuss how they started, the significant challenges they face, how they recovered from failures, and how they financed their businesses. The series is committed to giving a voice to all parts of the fashion ecosystem, not just the designers.

“I created The Fashion Roundtable because I wanted a space to have real, honest conversations with the people who are shaping Nigeria’s fashion industry.

“We often only see the finished product, the beautiful outfits, but we rarely hear from the people behind the scenes about the work that goes into the process. Nigerian fashion is getting so much attention globally, and now feels like the perfect time to share these voices and their stories,” Olateru-Olagbegi said.

Before Season 4: The Characters Who Shaped the Rise and Fall of Wura

Power has shifted, loyalties have been tested, and secrets are no longer buried. As Wura returns for Season 4, before the next chapter unfolds, it’s the perfect moment to revisit the characters whose ambition, secrets, and rivalries have driven the series’ gripping tale of power and consequence. Here are the characters who have shaped the story so far from Season 1 -3.

Mrs Adeleke (Wura)

The boss lady, ruthless CEO of Frontline Gold Mine and the woman at the centre of it all.

Wura built her empire on carefully buried secrets and ruthless decisions. Anyone who threatened her power in the last seasons was silenced, and every move she made was calculated to keep her throne intact.

But power built without mercy eventually demands payment. In the end, Wura’s world collapsed when she discovered the most devastating truth of all: the daughter she had killed in her quest to protect her secrets was actually her own. Faced with the weight of her actions, she pulled the trigger on herself, leaving behind a legacy of power, destruction, and unanswered questions.

Tumininu (Tumi)

Tumi’s journey began with a simple mission: find the truth about her father. What followed was a dangerous path filled with lies, betrayals, and powerful enemies.

Determined and fearless, Tumi chased every clue and confronted the darkest secrets surrounding her family. But the biggest revelation came too late, the woman she had grown to hate the most was the one who gave birth to her.

In her pursuit of justice, Tumi paid the ultimate price. Sometimes the truth costs everything.

Jeje

Jeje was the man caught between two worlds.

Husband to Tumi, yet deeply connected to Wura’s shadowy reality.

For a long time, he carried dangerous truths that could destroy everything. When Jeje finally revealed that Wura was responsible for Tumi’s father’s death, it set off a chain reaction that neither love nor loyalty could stop. His confession changed the course of every life connected to the Frontline empire.

Mr Adeleke

A respected man sworn to fight crime and uphold justice. Yet the greatest criminal in his life was the woman he loved, Wura.

Mr Adeleke shared a home with Wura, blind to the darkness hiding in plain sight. Even as the signs became impossible to ignore, his love for her clouded his judgment.

It raises a haunting question: how do you police an entire city, yet fail to see the truth inside your own home?

Iyabo

Iyabo was the quiet force that kept the family together until one truth shattered everything.

Without warning, she revealed the secret that changed the entire story: Tumi was not her biological daughter. No preparation. No gentle explanation. Just a truth that landed like a storm in a fragile family. Family secrets destroy everyone.

As Wura launches its Season 4 this March, the story moves beyond the secrets. With the truth now exposed and the consequences still unfolding, the next chapter promises new power struggles, shifting loyalties, and choices that change everything.

In Wura’s world, the past never stays buried, and the next season may prove that the real battle is only just beginning.
