Shina Peters Tells Pastor Ashimolowo: ‘I Won’t Speak Ill Of You Despite Your False Claim’.
Legendary Nigerian Juju musician Sir Shina Peters has responded to Pastor Mathew Ashimolowo, founder of Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC), following the cleric’s comparison of his financial choices to those of Zenith Bank founder, Jim Ovia.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Naija News reports that during a sermon on ‘wealth and timing’ at COZA 12DG, Pastor Ashimolowo said:
“Don’t buy a big house until you reach a certain age. What do you need it for—to show off? In 1990, two men had N20 million in Nigeria. One used it to build a house, the other to start a bank. The house from 1990 won’t look good today; designs and systems have changed. The bank, however, is now worth about N20 trillion. I’ll mention the musician—it’s not a crime—Shina Peters used N20 million to build a house, while Jim Ovia used his to start a bank. One man now deals with leaking roofs and broken doors, the other has branches all over Africa. Delay your gratification, and God will lift you up.”
The sermon drew criticism from netizens, including singer Daddy Showkey, who condemned Pastor Ashimolowo for belittling Shina Peters’ career and defended his colleague’s financial choices.
Reacting to the trending video on his Instagram story on Wednesday, Shina Peters described the pastor’s statement as false and derogatory. While acknowledging Daddy Showkey for bringing the matter to his attention, Peters said he would not pursue legal action, citing his commitment to the body of Christ.
He wrote:
*”Thanks to @daddyshowkey for bringing this matter to my attention. I’m not one to judge people or their opinions of me, but as a man of God and for the sake of the legacy of Christ, I will not take legal action nor speak ill of you, despite your false and derogatory statements.
God has truly blessed me beyond words; only those close to me can understand. Likewise, God, in His love, has blessed you, His son, @matthewashimolowo.official.
How we use our blessings to set positive examples is what truly matters. May God continue to bless all my fans around the world. Amen.”*

‘Not In This Life Or The Next’ – Nkechi Blessing Rules Out Reconciliation With Ex-Husband
Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has dismissed reports suggesting that she has rekindled her relationship with her former partner, Opeyemi Falegan.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
News reports that the actress clarified that she had only forgiven Falegan and agreed to settle their differences following years of public disagreements.
Nkechi made the clarification in a series of posts shared on her Instagram page.
In one of the posts, the actress stressed that she was not back with any of her former partners and urged the public to stop spreading claims of a possible reunion.
She explained that Falegan had been making efforts to resolve their differences since January 2026. However, she insisted that he must publicly apologise for his previous remarks before she would consider making peace with him.
According to her, Falegan eventually fulfilled her request, while she also offered him an apology.
In her statement, Nkechi wrote:
“For the very last time and for those that cares to listen, I DR. Nkechi Blessing Sunday is not back with any of my Ex’s both past, present and future ex… Let it be known 📌
“To Whom it May concern… I don tire to explain myself, like we are supposed to remain enemies for life? This man have been trying to make peace since January this year and I said to him you must go back to that same online and apologize before I hear anything. He did exactly what I asked. I also apologized to him and everybody bear their father name, nothing like coming back together, not in this life or the next life.. KALLAS!!!!!
“FORGIVENESS DOES NOT MEAN RECONCILIATION!!! I have come to understand that growth is not just about moving forward, but also about making peace with the things that once broke you. Five years ago, a lot was said, a lot happened, and emotions were displayed publicly. But five years is a long time to carry hurt, anger, or resentment.
“Today, I choose peace. I choose forgiveness. I choose to let go of everything that no longer deserves space in my heart. However, I want to make something very clear: Making peace with someone from my past does not mean I want that person back in my present.
“Forgiveness is not a relationship announcement. Being cordial does not mean rekindling old flames. And letting go of bitterness does not mean reopening doors that life has already taught me to close. Some chapters are better left closed, not because there is hatred, but because there is growth.
“I can genuinely wish someone well without wanting to share my life with them again…. So please, let’s not mistake maturity for romance or peace for a reunion….. No bad blood, no bitterness, no going backwards. Just two adults choosing peace after years of unnecessary negativity.
“I have forgiven, I have healed, and most importantly, I HAVE MOVED ON 😊🤝❤️Some people belong in your memories, not your future. And that’s perfectly okay….”
