I finally made out time to watch the N5million per hour Anti-Buhari vitriolic documentary being aired on AIT and NTA.

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was spotted at Living Faith Church a.k.a Winners Chapel Ota yesterday January 25th where he celebrated with the Winners family who concluded their 21 days fasting and prayer with thanksgiving service.

For Mr. President, this will be more than just felicitating with the people of God but also a time to seek God's face as the February polls draws near.

However,the social media is awash with different stories over the comments made by the General Overseer of the church, Bishop David Oyedepo during Jonathan visit. Oyedepo was quoted as saying 

"We will open the gate of hell on those who oppose you", but members of the church who attended the service said the clergy man only said "All those opposing and against the peace of Nigeria, God would open the gates of hell to them".
