I Wept Day I Knew My Son Was Gay – Okupe

Published

BREAKING: DSS Arrests Doyin Okupe

A former Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan has expressed confidence that his gay son will eventually be instrumental to changing the gay community positively for God.

Doyin Okupe described his son Bolu as being ‘on sojourn to the gay community in order to be an instrument of God to that community eventually’.

The 68-year-old politician disclosed this in an interview with VanguardLiveTV’s The Controversy on Wednesday.

Bolu in January shared a photo of himself in undergarment while holding the coloured flag of the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer).

The development comes a few weeks after Charles Oputa, a musician better known as Charly Boy, had a row with Dewy, his daughter, who described him as a hypocrite who never supported her sexuality and kicked her out of the house.

But reacting to his son’s status, Dr. Okupe said he had absolute faith that his 27-year-old son would eventually be instrumental to changing the gay community positively for God.

He said: “We’ve always known that Bolu was like that. He’s even much more than that. He’s incredible with what he does and capable of doing. All his other siblings are one but Bolu had designed his mind to never live in Nigeria.

“Unfortunately for me, his mother took him abroad very early. He did major parts of his secondary school in the United Kingdom.

“So, Bolu thinks he lives European (he’s my son) but his mind is European. I also know that he’s easily influenced by his environment. I know that for a fact because he came home one time for holiday, and this is the person that’s been questioning the Bible but all of a sudden, he’s on fire in terms of scripture having spent some months in Nigeria. His elder brother who is a pastor now helped him spiritually during that time.

“I made the greatest mistake to send him to France because that’s an extremely liberal society. So, the family had known that Bolu had that tendency. The day I knew, I wept. (I) have gone past that. We’re just praying for him but I also know that, God’s ways are not our ways, and He knows the beginning from the end. Mark my words, he (Bolu) is on sojourn to the gay community in order to be an instrument of God to that community eventually. That’s what is going to happen by the grace of God.”

“I am grateful for the journey that I have been through but at this point now, the next level is to focus on my ministry. And we are in our good space.

Published

By John Michael Ojo

The founder of Love Word Ministry popularly known as Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, has stated that his ministry parted ways with popular Nigerian gospel singer including multiple award-winning singer,Osinachi Kalu Okoro Egbu, professionally known as Sinach, when the later began to deviate from the purpose of God’s calling and the church principles.

Oyakhilome who referred to the music ministers as ‘professional’ singers said Sinach alongside her counterparts were only concerned about showing off their talents to the world instead of glorifying God.

He said they became entertainers milking churches, chasing after money while neglecting prayers  once they were done performing.

Oyakhilome who said he was once in support of their actions, said he tried to change the narrative as soon as he realized his misdeeds but being blinded by the popularity they have gained and the monies that was coming into their pockets, the singers became adamant and soon left  his church.

Oyakhilome who stated this in a now viral video however, prayed that the singers realize their mistakes and repent.

He said: “Why did this happen? The church was turning into a place of entertainment rather than a house of prayer where God’s word was truly celebrated. These singers were not winning souls; they led praise but left when it was time for prayers.

“The music in the church started to change—it became worldly. They performed for themselves, celebrated themselves instead of God, and even began charging fees for their singing.

“They became professionals who made money from the church, and many pastors did not realize that this was how the world was creeping into the church.

“Initially, I celebrated them, but when I made a shift toward a different direction, they refused to change with me. That’s when I had to let them go. God was speaking to me, showing me this was not the right path.

“I told them the Lord wanted us to do things the right way, but they had become too focused on their newfound popularity and financial gains.

“They didn’t want to follow me anymore, so they chose a different path. I hope they find their way back and repent because they are no longer worship leaders.”
