He visited others, ignored me – Omotola disappointed after Mark Zuckerberg’s visit



Popular Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has expressed disappointment at the founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, for not visiting her when he was in Nigeria.
Zuckerberg arrived Lagos on Tuesday for an official visit to Nigeria and during the visit, the philanthropist was seen with hosts of entertainers including movie director, Kunle Afolayan, among others.
But ‘Omo sexy’, as she is fondly called, wondered why the Facebook founder ignored users with highest number of followers on his social media platform.
On her Facebook page, the mother of four shared a photo of Zuckerberg, taking a selfie with President Muhammadu Buhari and his Vice, Oshinbajo.
She wrote: “That weird moment Zuckerberg visits Nigeria and meets with Everyone but the ones with the highest Ff on his platform.
“WelcomeZuck or #goodbyezuck ? #jealousmuch #welovehimthough #controversialpost and #heworeasuit #facebook,” she wrote.

Kenneth Copeland: ARE YOU UNDER PRESSURE??

Kenneth Copeland’s daily devotional September 6, 2016 - Under Pressure? Plant!


Topic: Under Pressure? Plant! [September 6, 2016]

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. - Galatians 6:7

If you feel like you’re under pressure these days, you’re not alone. Satan is putting more pressure on more people right now than ever before. He’s pressuring us mentally, financially, emotionally and every other way he can. The pressure has gotten so great everywhere that governments don’t know what to do. Businesses don’t know what to do. Families don’t know. Churches don’t know.

But praise God, Jesus does! He says we can give our way right out from under any pressure the devil brings to bear.

Giving is always Jesus’ way out. Whenever there’s a need, He plants seed! In fact, in Mark 4, He compares the entire kingdom of God to a seed. Just think about the importance of seeds for a moment. Every living thing on this earth came from a seed. You came from a seed. Then you were born again from the seed of God’s Word. Jesus Himself was The Seed planted by God. God sowed Him in sacrifice. He came forth and grew up into many brethren.

So, when Satan puts you under pressure, go to Jesus and let Him tell you how and where to plant. If you’ll do it, that seed will grow up until it breaks the powers of darkness and lack. It will release you from the pressure the devil’s been putting on you.

I’ve seen it happen. When Jerry Savelle first began to work for my ministry, he didn’t have but one suit of clothes and one shirt with a pair of slacks to his name. He wore one, then the other, night after night to every service we held. He didn’t have the money to even think about buying another suit. I’m telling you, he was under pressure where clothes were concerned!

Then he found out about the principle of seed-faith and harvest. So, he went downtown in the city where we were in a meeting and found a fellow on the street who needed clothes and gave him some. Immediately people started giving Jerry clothes. It started in that meeting and they’ve been doing it ever since. Today, there are many preachers in Africa wearing Jerry Savelle suits! (Even if the sleeves and pant legs are way too short!) He’s still sowing and reaping the greatest clothes harvest I’ve ever seen.

If the devil’s pressuring you, don’t panic…plant! Plant your time. Plant your money. Plant the clothes off your back. When your harvest comes in, you can laugh and say, “Hey, Devil, who’s feeling the pressure now?”
