Pastor Chris Okotie Shows Off His “Blings” on The Red Carpet As He Dances With The Ladies

 Pastor Chris Okotie, Sunday, showed off his exquisite designer outfit worn to the annual Grace\Karis Awards hosted by his Household of God church in Lagos.

The award ceremony was created to celebrate and financially reward distinguished persons in public life.
Spotting a suede jacket over a crisp blue shirt and a pair of trousers, Pastor Okotie regaled his two red carpet hosts by naming his designer wardrobe.

In a video, Okotie was asked by a female host, accompanied by a male, to name his outfit.
Brimful with smiles, Okotie, excitedly reeled off top-of-range designer labels.
The pastor boasted his trousers were an Italian brand by Pal Zileri Cerimonia, while his watch and shoes were designed by Franck Muller and Lois Vuitton respectively, among other things.

At the point when Okotie mentioned the label of his designer wristwatch, the female host, who is also a church member, asked him to ” show the blings.”
After then, the female host said to the camera: “this is the most wonderful pastor. We are honoured to be under him and under his authority.”

Pastor Okotie has, since, 1996, used the Grace ceremony and Karis Awards to support exemplary Nigerians.

The recipient of this year’s award was Air Commodore Habiba Ruth Garba. The church celebrated her as first female one-star General in the Nigerian Air Force from the northern region of the country.
The event, which started late due to hitches from the organisers, featured a beauty pageant.
Pastor Okotie, a sometime musician and three-time presidential candidate of his Hope Party stunned his audience when he was asked to make a brief speech.

Rather than do so, he asked all the beautiful women in the church to come out and dance to his latest tunes. One of those who took to the dance floor was Queen Ure, the estranged partner of failed musician, Soul e.

Watch out, supplements can harm

We all take supplements for all sorts of reasons. People take supplements to replenish the vitamins and minerals the body needs to function optimally. Also, as we age, our bodies produce fewer enzymes, including all the important ones needed to properly digest and assimilate foods. We therefore need appropriate supplements to shore up the dwindling enzymes and boost a lagging libido or sperm health. Again, people take supplements to beat stress and thus strengthen the immune system.

Mandela: A lesson in political greatness

Mandela

By virtue of their exalted positions, political leaders are invariably famous!  We see their faces on television and in newspapers and we also listen to their voices on radio.  The notorious ones among them intimidate us with their posters or statues, palaces and the exclusive streets they name after themselves.  They would rather celebrate their own lives than be patient with history!
