Triple MG boss, Ubi Franklin, on Tuesday, survived a fire outbreak in his home.The fire was said to have been caused by a faulty Air Conditioner.

Ubi Franklin, a former executive manager of popular Nigerian musician, Iyanya, shared the news on his Instagram.

He said: “Woke up this morning and my house was on fire, I had to do what I could to bring it down. House on fire this morning, thank God for saving me.”

Narrating the incident, the father of one stated, “So I woke up this morning and was getting set for work. I had my friends come in from out of town and I was like since I live alone they should come stay at mine. I had just finished praying and was getting my gadgets ready for work and I heard one of my friends shouting ‘fire, fire, Ubi, fire, fire’.

“I came out and the whole house was filled up with smoke I was confused on where to start; the fire started from a faulty AC. Guess what all the water taps in the entire house stopped working.

“I had to get the bottle water from the fridge and started with that. It was raining heavy at the time I don’t think there was an amount of shouting that could be heard by a neighbor”.

On how they were finally able to put out the fire, he said, “My friend found poundo yam flour in the kitchen and we soaked that in water and finally we were able to contain that fire. At some point I couldn’t see anymore because the smoke covered the whole house and I fell”.

Recall that Franklin recently launched an online Laundromat service ‘Instant Pick-Up’ in Lagos and Abuja with Annie Idibia, Tokunbo Tboss Idowu and others as brand ambassadors.

RMD calls out the hypocrisy in christianity

Published

By

Nollywood veteran Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) has highlighted hypocrisy as one of the biggest issues in the church.

Speaking as a guest on the King of Talks podcast hosted by Teju Babyface, the actor stated that his views about God and Christianity are unconventional.

“My idea of Christ in today’s world and how we should embrace him is probably not very traditional. But I think the Lord says ‘That’s why I brought you here.’ so I stir quite a bit of controversy everywhere I speak. I think that I am appointed for a time like this, to do it unconventionally,” he said.

“Someone was telling me about someone doing a podcast about faith and stardom and I said I’d love to do that. Why? Because of the way Christians are wired. We were wired to think that the spirit of excellence should not be in you being a distiller. They thing that a distiller of whiskey shouldn’t be called a Christian. Why? It’s a craft,” he said.

RMD emphasised that the essence of Christianity is for Christians to be able to come just as they are to the church.

He said, “People built boats in the period that Christ lived. People owned vineyards and produced all the best wines in the area at the time. If they wanted to be followers of Christ, they could. That’s the whole essence of following Christ. Come as you are.”

“People are meant to come as they are. You can’t stop people from coming to Christ the way that they are. it’s when they come that their renewal starts. So let them come and then function in the societies where they find themselves in a way that can bring people to Christ without being hypocritical. I think that’s one of the biggest problems of today’s church. It’s hypocrisy,” he concluded.
