Bishop David Oyedepo, Founder and General Overseer of the Living Faith Church a.k.a Winners Chapel who preached at his church’s annual programme ‘Shiloh 2019’ days ago, narrated how his photo started speaking in tongues and saved some kidnap victims.
According to the Pastor, the incident occurred after a female kidnap victim was taken to a dungeon where other victims were kept by her abductors. Bishop Oyedepo said a Shiloh flyer which had his photo began speaking in tongues after falling out of a bag the lady threw at the kidnappers who tried taking her baby.
He added that kidnappers became unconscious, after which the lady took their knife; cut loose her rope and that of other kidnap victims.

The picture of Oyedepo started speaking in tongues WTF!

Read the book of acts chapter 2, the tongues were not robobo shigibaraba they were proper languages understood by many.
–
Acts 2:4
New Living Translation
And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.
–
Acts 2:11
New Living Translation
(both Jews and converts to Judaism), Cretans, and Arabs. And we all hear these people speaking in our own languages about the wonderful things God has done!”
–
They were speaking other languages not babbling tomfoolery..
–
The book of Mark, confirms that tongues are other languages not nonsense.
–
Mark 16:17
New Living Translation
These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages.

Have you ever wondered why no one in Nigeria interprets tongues despite it being one of the gifts of the spirit??
–
1 Corinthians 12:10
New International Version
to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
–
Simple, because most Nigerian tongues cannot be translated because they are fake. Next time your pastor is speaking in tongues, type out the words he is saying in the google translator, you will see for yourself that nothing comes up!
–
1 Corinthians 14:27
New Living Translation
No more than two or three should speak in tongues. They must speak one at a time, and someone must interpret what they say.
–
Some sheeple will run here and say speaking in tongues is a mystery, well yes it is but it’s not the language that’s a mystery, it’s what’s being said.
If Einstein wrote the theory of relativity in English, unless you have a background in physics it would be a mystery to you”
At 31, Lagos-born Espago is redefining what it means to be a late bloomer in the Nigerian music
space. After spending years as a chef, designer, and farmer, Espago turned to music just a year
ago on a journey sparked by deep loss, life experience, and self-discovery.
What makes him different? It’s not just his sound, it’s his story. Espago brings a calm but
confident energy that mirrors his Lagos upbringing: a blend of vibrant Fuji rhythms and soulful
Afrobeat traditions like King Sunny Ade, shaped by global legends like Michael Jackson and
Celine Dion. His voice? Professionally trained. His brand? Stylish, grounded, and intentional.
Espago didn’t wait for the industry to find him; he found his own way in, teaching himself,
searching out producers, and building his identity from scratch. With no major label backing and
no big-name features, he has still built a brand marked by boldness, emotion, and Lagos street
authenticity.
He’s not just making music; he’s building a lifestyle brand. His creative roots are in food,
fashion, and music fused into something richer than just a “sound.” It’s a full experience. While
he hasn’t performed live yet, he’s putting in the work behind the scenes, mentoring new artists,
recording regularly to sharpen his voice and brand for bigger stages ahead.
In a scene dominated by speed, Espago’s journey is about intentional growth, honest
expression, and emotional connection.
As the new class of Afro‑HipHop begins to take shape, Espago stands out not just for what he’s
making, but for who he is becoming.
Rising artist Derriq isn’t just making music for entertainment; he’s building a legacy rooted in culture, resilience, and pride. The Lagos-based Afro-soul and Afrobeats singer has his eyes set on something bigger than streaming numbers: putting his hometown of Benin City on the global creative map is his dream.
A native of Edo State, Derriq’s musical journey began as a child organizing school parties just for the chance to perform. Since then, he’s gone from studio assistant to full-fledged artist, releasing impactful tracks like “Position,” “Vibration,” and “Confidence.” His sound, described as smooth, calm, and party-ready, reflects the duality of his personality: laid-back yet determined, quiet but powerful.
Derriq is more than just a promising name on Nigeria’s growing music roster; he’s a symbol of the next generation of artists who blend regional identity with global appeal using his distinctive voice, a strong sense of direction, and his signature slang “Yehboo! Yezaiii!” making waves among fans, Derriq is proving that cultural authenticity still cuts through the noise.
His next single, “Omo n’ Ogie,” is a tribute to his heritage and a signal that he’s just getting started. Keep your eyes on Derriq, he’s not just singing for the moment, he’s singing for a movement.
