Pastor Joseph Apata and wives
Pastor Joseph Apata, aged 52, is the General Overseer of Vineyard of Deliverance Ministry, commonly referred to as The Rock Church, located in Ibeju Lekki, Lagos State. A fervent advocate for polygamy, Mr. Apata differentiates himself from traditional pastors, holding the title of the “jagaban” of the spiritual realm. He also assumes the self-designated role of King of Zion, occupying an elevated throne within the church adorned with his name.
His wives are actively engaged in church activities and are compensated with monthly salaries. Mr. Apata asserts that he provides comprehensively for their needs, asserting a commitment that includes sexual fulfillment, boasting an impressive capacity of 20 to 70 sexual encounters in a single day.
In defense of his polygamous lifestyle, Mr. Apata stated on his church’s official Facebook page that wedding rings and the prohibition of polygamy are unbiblical concepts. He remarked, “Over the years, some lies have become truths. Where in the Bible do we find the directive that wearing wedding rings is mandated for Christians? Where does it state that a prophet cannot marry more than one wife?”
Apata’s early life was marked by significant religious transitions; born into a Christian household in Ebira, Kogi State, his family later embraced Islam, with his father marrying five wives. His childhood was distinctly unconventional; at the age of two, he experienced a near-death situation alongside his twin brother, only to be resurrected after five days by a prophet. He claims to have begun experiencing prophetic visions at the age of five, including foretelling the death of his father through poisoning by his fifth wife.
His formal education ceased at Junior Secondary School 3 due to struggles with the curriculum. Mr. Apata began his ministry as a pastor at Gate Way Baptist Church in 1988 but left in 1995, subsequently establishing his own congregation under a tree in Bariga in 1998. His ministry later flourished, leading to its current location in Lekki.
Mr. Apata discussed how he balances his roles as a pastor, husband to three wives, and father.
He first married Margaret Tani, whom he met in Ibadan. Financial difficulties prompted him to marry a second wife, Omowunmi, a widow from his church, after he interpreted this decision as a divine directive.
He recounted, “In 2011, I sought divine assistance, which led me to marry a widow in the church, reflecting my belief that another woman could mend what one had disrupted in my life.”
After informing his first wife of his intentions on his birthday, he faced arrest but maintained that obedience to God was paramount. His first wife opted to remain with him despite the challenges.
Subsequently, the second marriage positively impacted Mr. Apata’s life, bringing financial prosperity and new opportunities. He entered into a third marriage based on what he believed was a divine instruction aimed at mitigating health risks for his first wife, who comes from a family with a history of short life spans.
Apata asserted, “When my first wife fell ill, I prayed to God for her well-being and received a directive to marry a third wife, which led to divine blessings, and my first wife’s health improved.” Despite concerns regarding managing desires among his three spouses, he claimed to have developed effective strategies to meet their needs.
He resides with his first wife in the church compound, while the other two wives occupy separate accommodations. All three wives possess educational qualifications and are actively involved in church leadership; the first wife is a Computer Science graduate and serves as the Assistant General Overseer, the second wife coordinates the women’s ministry, and the third wife oversees the choir.
Mr. Apata has provided guidance for those contemplating or exiting polygamous arrangements, underscoring that there is nothing inherently sinful in engaging in such relationships.

“My World Revolved Around Regina Daniels”: Ned Nwoko Opens Up How He Married Regina Honourably
Senator Ned Nwoko has addressed ongoing controversies surrounding his marriage to Nollywood actress Regina Daniels.
The politician highlighted that his decision to marry her was done honourably and in accordance with tradition.
In a press release, the Delta-born senator claimed the saga was a deliberate attempt by his political enemies to tarnish his image.
Ned Nwoko recently released a press statement alleging that a “syndicate of pull-down-Ned” group is taking advantage of the situation involving his wife, Regina Daniels, to tarnish his image.
Nwoko made this claim amid reports of ongoing marital challenges between him and the Nollywood actress.
The last part of the press release addresses why he married the movie star, how he doted on her, and how she has become a weak point through which his political and personal enemies are attacking him.
The concluding part of the press release says: “Our customs and traditions do not frown upon polygamy. What I did was to marry her honourably, give her a name, and treat her with dignity.”
Nwoko further revealed that beyond public perception and social media narratives, his relationship with Regina has been genuine and built on care and affection.
Our marriage has been public and transparent. Beyond the social media lifestyle, my world revolved around Regina. I pampered her and cared for her deeply, something that everyone who has worked with me across Delta, Abuja, and beyond can testify to.”
However, the senator lamented that Regina has become a target through which his adversaries have been attacking him and his political achievements.
“It is, therefore, disheartening to read all this filth being spread online. As the saying goes, when a wall cracks, the lizard finds its way in. Regina has become a weak point through which my political and personal enemies have been attacking me.”
Concluding the statement, Nwoko alleged that the ongoing campaign against him is part of a larger effort to undermine his political progress and development projects.
“My decision to marry her properly according to tradition is now being twisted into a tool for political blackmail. This is a witch-hunt that has been ongoing for years, an attempt to stop my developmental strides and tarnish me now that I am a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
Daily voice.ng compiled the reactions below:
lsk_luxuryfashion said: “Oga rest! These lines don cast!!! Ur little angel said she’s done, let her go! God bless you in advance 🙏🏽”
okpako.francess said:
“God really saved Regina Daniel. Only God knows what this girl has been through in Chinedu’s hands. my God.”

“If only Chinedu didn’t come out with all that drug-using stuff, this whole buhaha won’t have escalated like this😢. As an elder, after that video of domestic violence came out, all he needed to have done if he must clear his name is just for him to write it was a family matter and he will settle it within the family. After all there was nothing in that video that showed him beating his ex-wife.”
Daily Voice.ng earlier reported that Regina Daniels’ brother, Sweezy, made fresh allegations against Senator Ned Nwoko, claiming that he nearly beat their mother. Sweezy further accused Nwoko of treating his sick niece poorly by sending her away from his house at 3 am. He also accused the senator of physical aggression toward his staff, including Regina’s former personal assistant, Leya.

Nigeria Is Blessed With One Of The Best Security Infrastructure – Pastor Irene
Popular Nigerian clergyman Emmanuel Iren has claimed that Nigeria has one of the best security infrastructures in the world.
Irene shared his submission during a sermon.
He, however, stated that the system’s efficiency often depends on an individual’s social and financial status.
The clergyman asserted that those with wealth and influence often get a quick response from security operatives, but stated that the situation might be different for people who are financially incapacitated.
He stated that the uneven distribution of justice allows injustice and violence to persist in some parts of the country.
Irene noted that the insecurity situation in the country might be related to the fact that those who are the victims are often poor.
“I think, in my personal opinion, our security infrastructure is actually one of the best in the world. Be a rich person in trouble. Drop money and see, they will bring the thief for you, am I lying? So maybe the problem is that, where the wickedness is happening, the voices there are poor. Maybe it doesn’t matter much to us as much as we pretend”, he said in part.
The cleric’s remarks came amid ongoing debates about the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and the country’s designation by the US as a Country of Particular Concern.

What I Did When My Wife Was Diagnosed With HIV – Bishop Abioye
Founder of the Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly, Bishop David Abioye has shared how his wife, Mary Abioye, was wrongly diagnosed with HIV during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Naija News reports that the clergyman during a church service said she was later confirmed negative after prayers and strong faith in divine healing.
He explained that the medical test initially showed that his wife was HIV positive.
However, he refused to accept the result, declaring through faith that such illness could not affect his household.
After further medical checks, the result showed she was completely free from the virus.

Bishop Abioye explained that his response came from unshakable confidence in God’s power to heal, saying that faith must be firm when faced with challenges.
He said the incident tested his belief but ended as a testimony of God’s healing power.
The cleric also taught that healing, according to the scriptures, requires boldness and authority rather than fear or negotiation.

He added that spiritual victory comes from resisting every form of sickness through faith and conviction.
He said: “During COVID, they said my wife had HIV. I said, ‘No, not in this body.’ I told them, ‘Do the check-up.’ They checked and couldn’t find anything there.
“Healing is not for gentlemen. You don’t negotiate sickness to go; you crush it to go. Some people are negotiating with bandits, and that’s why their problems persist.
“The prince of this world came to test me but found nothing.”
Bishop Abioye, who stepped down from Living Faith Church (Winners’ Chapel) in 2024, now leads Living Word Conquerors Global Assembly.
