‘Don’t let romance die’ — Adeboye advises couples, says anointing does not reduce romance

Published

on

 

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has opened up about the importance of maintaining romance in marriage, even in the midst of spiritual responsibilities.

In a candid revelation, Adeboye shared that he and his wife, Foluke, still nurture their love with pet names when they are alone, emphasising that “anointing does not reduce romance.”

Through his heartfelt message, he urged married couples, especially pastors, to prioritise intimacy and romance, ensuring their marriages remain vibrant and joyful.

“Don’t let romance die,” he counselled.

 

The pastor in a Friday post on his official Facebook handle, disclosed that he has a pet name that he calls his wife, Foluke, when they are alone and that anointing does not reduce romance in marriage.

 

He explained that some pastors avoid romantic activities, believing it distracts from their spiritual focus. Adeboye emphasised that being anointed should not negate the need for romance, drawing an example from the Bible.

He said, “Some pastors hardly go on dates with their spouses because they consider such a romantic activity a distraction from their focus on spiritual matters.”

He advised couples to rekindle their connection and spend quality time together, ensuring that their marriage remains fun and loving:

“Once in a while, compose a poem for your spouse… Have a pet name that you call each other behind closed doors.”

Finally, he shared a personal detail, underscoring that even in their senior roles, he and his wife still prioritise their bond as lovers:
“Up until today, there is a pet name my wife calls me when we are alone… When we are alone, we are lovers, not Daddy G.O and Mummy G.O.”

Adeboye highlighted that being a Christian doesn’t remove the need for romance in marriage, urging couples, especially pastors, to not neglect intimacy for spiritual duties. He cited Isaac’s playful interaction with Rebekah in Genesis 26:8 as an example of balancing anointing with romance.

“The fact that you are a Christian does not in any way take the romance out of your marriage. Marriage is the only institution where romance and intimacy are allowed between a man and a woman.

“Some pastors hardly go on dates with their spouses because they consider such a romantic activity as a distraction from their focus on spiritual matters.

“Some of them don’t even play with their spouses anymore. Beloved, the anointing does not reduce the need for romance in marriage.”

He encouraged couples to rekindle their connection, reminding them of the joy and fun they shared before life’s responsibilities took over. He stresses the importance of making time for each other and keeping their bond strong.

 

“Isaac was an anointed man of God and a successful businessman, yet in Genesis 26:8, the Bible says he was being romantic with his wife:

And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah, his wife.

“Don’t become too rigid in your marriage; don’t have more fun elsewhere without your spouse. Make the times that you and your spouse spend together so much fun that you are always looking forward to seeing each other again. If you are married, remember how you used to talk for long hours with your spouse before you got married and had children; revive that relationship again.

“Your spouse is still the same fellow you were very fond of, and the things you loved in him or her are still there. Don’t let all the cares of this life distract you from the gems in your spouse.

He suggested simple acts like writing notes, using pet names, and surprising each other to keep the romance alive.

Adeboye shared that even he and his wife still do this, advising couples to be intentional about nurturing love in their marriage.

“Once in a while, compose a poem for your spouse and read it to him or her in a romantic setting. Spice things up with pleasant surprises every now and then. Write a note and put it in his or her bag so that when they get to the office and open their bag, they will see the note and smile.

“Have a pet name that you call each other behind closed doors. Up until today, there is a pet name my wife calls me when we are alone. I equally have a pet name that I call her, and every time I call her by that name, she cannot but smile at me lovingly.

“When we are alone, we are lovers, not Daddy G.O. and Mummy G.O. Your marriage can be like heaven on earth if you and your spouse are deliberate about remaining the lovebirds that you were when you first got married. Don’t let the romance die,” he concluded.

Aisha Achimugu: From Business Powerhouse to Paris Style Icon

Published

on

By

Paris has always had a way of making fashion feel less like clothing and more like theatre. And when the world’s style aristocracy gathered for the Spring/Summer 2027 season, Nigerian high flying businesswoman, Aisha Achimugu, arrived with the kind of polished glamour that commands attention without demanding it.

Against the timeless backdrop of the French capital, Achimugu stepped into the world of Paris Fashion Week in a look that married sophistication with modern femininity. Her ensemble was defined by a refined silhouette, impeccable tailoring and the kind of carefully considered styling in which every detail appeared deliberate. The proportions were elegant, the finish luxurious, while her accessories added just the right measure of sparkle and personality.

Her beauty look complemented rather than competed with the outfit. Immaculately styled hair, luminous makeup and a poised, confident bearing completed the picture, allowing the clothes to retain their quiet authority. It was a lesson in restraint: nothing appeared excessive, yet every element, from the jewellery to the finishing touches, contributed to the overall effect.

The real strength of Achimugu’s Paris appearance, however, was in the details. The interplay of texture and silhouette gave the look dimension, while the accessories provided those subtle flashes of glamour associated with the best society dressing. There was an understanding of proportion, balance and occasion, a recognition that at Paris Fashion Week, being noticed is not necessarily about wearing the loudest look in the room.

For Achimugu, fashion has never seemed like an afterthought. It is part of the persona, the jewellery, the sculpted silhouettes, the luxurious textures, the immaculate finishing and that unmistakable confidence of a woman comfortable in her own skin.

Her Paris appearance offered yet another glimpse into the glamorous lifestyle of the Felak Concept Group boss, whose public persona has over the years straddled business, philanthropy, high society and fashion.

In the city, amid the fashion houses and international style elite, Achimugu appeared more than as a spectator but as a Nigerian woman confidently occupying a global fashion space. Her look spoke in the sophisticated language of Parisian dressing, polished, assured and intentionally glamorous, while retaining the unmistakable confidence of a woman bringing her own sense of style to the occasion.

How I manage Davido’s finances, spending habits — Sharon Adeleke

Sharon Ademefun Adeleke, the elder sister of Afrobeats superstar, Davido, has revealed how she manages her brother’s finances and her unconventional approach to marriage.

Sharon disclosed this while appearing on the Morayo Show, adding that she regularly discusses Davido’s finances with him, particularly his spending on cars and jewellery.

“One of the major things I’m always getting on my brother is jewellery and cars. My God!” she said.

“Me and him will sit down. We will have a finance meeting every week because I think it is important for him to know how his money is being spent.

“And I will now say, ‘David, please, no more cars, no more jewellery.’ Twenty-four hours later, you will start seeing it on the blogs that he bought another car.”

Sharon, a mother of three, also spoke about her marriage, saying she made it clear to her husband from the outset that she did not intend to follow a traditional approach.

“When I met my husband, I explained to him that there isn’t going to be a traditional kind of marriage,” she said.

“I remember, I think in the first few months of us dating, I cooked and all the things. When he was eating, I was like, ‘Oh babe, are you enjoying the food?’ He said yes.

“And I said, ‘Good. Now you know I know how to cook, but I don’t like cooking, and I hope that’s not going to be a problem.”

The entrepreneur revealed how she built her wig-making business. She said she learnt to make wigs out of frustration with the difficulty of securing skilled hairstylists and wig makers, who were often fully booked.

“I learnt how to make wigs because I was frustrated because really good hairstylists and wig makers are always busy. Even if you drop your things with them, every week they will still be busy,” she said.

“So, one day I said, ‘What is this wig making? Let me just try.’ At that time, there was maybe one video or two compared to now, when if you go on YouTube, you can find thousands of videos about wig making.

“I was heavily pregnant and very bored, so my husband took me to the beauty shop, and I bought all the pieces. I just started trying, and then I started doing it more and more. Then my friends started asking me to make wigs for them.”

Sharon said she believes people sometimes discover their businesses unexpectedly rather than through careful planning.

“I’m a big believer that when God gives you a business, you kind of fall into it sometimes. It is not something that you planned,’ she said.

“When I started going into it, I started going for training all over the world.”
