I tore Oyedepo’s book because he said anointing oil is God’s life in a bottle – Tunde Bakare Founder of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare has explained what led to the standoff between him and General Overseer of Winner’s Chapel, Pastor David Oyedepo, some years back. In a recently published interview he granted the Punch, Bakare when asked his take on anointing oil, mainly used by Christians for prayer purposes, responded: “People like to create their own Tunde Bakare.

I said I didn’t tear your book, I tore my book. That is fine, you wrote it, I bought it, so it was my book I tore. “I saw errors in tha...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrats in Congress will begin proceedings on Wednesday that are widely expected to end in impeachment charges against President Donald Trump, a day after they accused him of abusing his office in a bid to secure his re-election in 2020. After more than two months of investigation, the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing to examine whether Trump’s alleged misdeeds in his dealings with Ukraine qualify as the “high crimes and misdemeanors” punishable by impeachment under the U.S. Constitution.  The panel could move quickly in coming weeks to recommend charges known as articles of impeachment against Trump, setting up a possible impeachment vote by the full House before Christmas, followed by a trial in the Senate in January. Republicans, who control the Senate, have shown little appetite for removing Trump from office.  Democrats, who need to make their case to an American public that polls show to be bitterly divided on...

Lionel Messi has admitted on the back of his sixth Ballon d’Or triumph that “retirement is approaching”, but the Argentine hopes to enjoy “many more years” at the top and says Barcelona have nothing to worry about when it comes to his future. That will comes as a relief to those at Camp Nou, with it having already been revealed that an all-time great has an exit clause in his current contract. There has been no suggestion that it will be triggered, with Messi continuing to be a talismanic presence for the reigning La Liga champions. His efforts have once again seen him recognised as the finest player on the planet, with the 32-year-old now boasting one more Golden Ball than eternal rival Cristiano Ronaldo, and there has been no sign of him slowing down. Messi is, however, aware that he is closer to the end of his career than the start, with there an acceptance that the day will come when he is forced to hang up his boots and bring an iconic era in modern football to a close. Re...

Chelsea legend Drogba grants Mbappe's 10-year request Kylian Mbappe had his decade-long request to Didier Drogba granted during the 2019 Ballon d’Or awards ceremony in Paris. Drogba who co-hosted Monday’s event with Sandy Heribert disclosed that he denied a 10-year-old Mbappe (who was on trial at Chelsea) a picture following Chelsea’s Champions League defeat to Barcelona. According to him, he snubbed the Frenchman because he was infuriated by referee Tom Ovrebo’s decisions as the Blues crashed out to a late Andres Iniesta goal at Stamford Bridge. “Ten years ago after a match, a child came to me and wanted to take a picture,” he said. “That day I said no because of the result [and the refereeing]. I learned that the child was Kylian Mbappe. I want to pay my debt now.” Shortly after this, the Ivorian asked the audience to stand and get in the back of a selfie with the PSG star. Barcelona’s Lionel Messi claimed a record sixth Ballon d'Or ahead of Liverpool's Virgil van ...
