Grace Nation PHDS Mid-week Service : Battles turn only when a Spirit is involved - Dr Chris Okafor,
.... Wars comes to an end by Spiritual revelation... Okafor

There are some inherited circles that come into the life of Men as a result of Covenant and if Such circles I'd not broken it will continue to affect even generations yet unborn.

These are some of the major highlights examined by the Generational Prophet at the midweek Prophetic, Healing, Deliverance and Solutions service of Grace Nation Global, Held on the 31st July 2025 at the international Headquarters of the Church in Ojodu Berger Lagos Nigeria.

Teaching on the Topic, Breaking The York of My Father's House Part 3, the series that has been running for some weeks now, The Senior Pastor Grace Nation world-wide,The Generational Prophet of God Dr Chris Okafor hinted that understanding is the Basic foundation you need to break out from the York of your Father house.

The famous Lagos Preacher said you also need wisdom to go about approaching the fundamental Principles, digging deep of the source of the battle and looking for possible way out to break out from these yorks, He said York also comes in different forms, immediately you understand the way out , you break out.

Dr Chris Okafor also remarks that Christian has more advantage because what they needed for the breakout has already been given to them by Elohim, but many Christians lack Divine knowledge on how to tackle the issues, The scriptures made it clear, many Christians lack knowledge , Elohim says my children are ignorant, and lack knowledge, not that the devil or altars are powerful Enough but the people lack divine knowledge, the Man of God maintained.

No kind of battle can survive, if spirit is not involved, the York of your Father house is presume powerful because a Spirit is involved, but when a higher spirit is deployed through Divine knowledge, the lesser spirits and the stubborn York of your father's house give way, therefore when a war begins only spiritual revelation knows when the war will come to an end, the Generational Prophet Dr Chris Okafor remarked

The Realms of the Prophetic witnessed another new dimension, with Prophetic Declaration, Restoration,healing , Miracles and Solutions to diverse kinds of Problems , God of Grace Nation is always at work addressing issues, No Wonder at any Grace Nation Services or Crusade, it is a plus to all that attended or Participated.

Evergreen Echoes: Ariya Eko Celebrates the Soundtrack of a Generation ~ ARIYA 247 TV

Ariya Eko is fast becoming one of Lagos State’s most defining cultural landmarks—a vibrant and evocative celebration of indigenous music that not only entertains but educates, preserves, and connects generations. As a yearly event, Ariya Eko has carved a unique identity by spotlighting the rich, diverse, and evergreen musical traditions of the Lagos people, from their ancient roots to contemporary expressions. It is a curated return to our melodic past, delivered in a form that resonates deeply with the present.

Conceived as a response to the growing erasure of Lagos-rooted musical legends from public consciousness, Ariya Eko is driven by the urgency to ensure that these icons are neither forgotten nor relegated to mere footnotes in history. The festival honors those who once moved nations with their sound, and whose rhythms helped shape the socio-cultural foundations of Nigeria. Through Ariya Eko, these musicians find new life—not just in remembrance, but in active re-engagement with today’s audiences.

Lagos, widely regarded as the entertainment and cultural capital of Nigeria, provides the perfect backdrop for a gathering of this kind. As the city continues to draw global attention for its dynamic creative energy, Ariya Eko serves as both a tribute and a tool—fostering deeper cultural ties, encouraging cross-generational dialogue, and opening pathways for international cultural diplomacy. The festival situates Lagos not just as a stage for entertainment, but as a heritage hub—where local sounds speak global truths.

The timing of the festival around Nigeria’s Independence period adds another layer of meaning. It is a reminder of the role music has played—and continues to play—in shaping national identity and unity. By aligning this cultural experience with the spirit of independence, Ariya Eko reinforces the value of indigenous contributions to the national story, amplifying voices that represent strength, pride, and resilience.

Beyond its core musical offerings, Ariya Eko also functions as a cultural showcase—featuring exhibitions, tributes, performances across genres, and special recognition awards to individuals and institutions that have preserved and advanced indigenous music traditions. These elements create a complete cultural immersion, transforming the event from a concert into an archive, a museum, and a moving tribute all at once.

Crucially, the event also holds significant tourism potential. In a time when cities around the world compete through cultural capital, Ariya Eko gives Lagos a competitive edge. It promises to attract both local and international audiences, stimulate the creative economy, and further project the state as a leading destination for cultural tourism in West Africa. The collaboration with Evergreen Musical Company and other strategic partners reinforces its credibility and ambition.

At its heart, Ariya Eko is a bridge—between the young and the old, between the local and the global, between memory and innovation. It is a celebration of Lagos, of Nigeria, and of the unyielding power of music to inspire, connect, and transform. As each edition unfolds, it adds a new verse to the enduring song of a people whose story must always be told in rhythm.

Exclusive! My Last Conversation With One of Nigeria’s Originals : Adieu Pa Femi Lasode ~ ARIYA247 TV

By Bimbo Esho

At almost 70 he craved to someday build a beautiful film village where our stories could be appreciated and continually told to the world to see. He often reminisced on how African Americans were often fascinated with words like Osun, Orisa, Sango, etc.

When he was schooling in America , he said his friends often told him to tell them our stories which they believe he should ordinarily know.

Revealing to me during one of my visit to him at his Dideolu Court on what inspired his interest in the Story of Sango. He said he was inspired by a popular computer game called Sango which he stumbled on at a computer store in Manhattan, New York. He said he got fascinated with the Chinese Ninja wrestling costume hence he felt the strong need to put our stories out there in the right perspective so that history won’t be distorted.

In the 90’s Pa Lasode’s Music Studio "Afrika N Vogue was a one stop studio for musicians. He selflessly used it as a platform for young upcoming musicians to be heard.

Pa Lasode is no doubt a creative genius whose mind easily swings from one creative activity to the other. He really invested so much in documenting history.

Financial constraints didn’t make his greatest dream of building the Beautiful Film Village he had often reminisced about come to light. He had so much of our history that he didn’t want to die with. On several occasions he showed me hundreds of proposals he had written to this effect that didn’t see the light of day. He made me realize it was a not a project one man could take on.

It is quite disheartening that few of the Epic Movies which he has written to tell some of our stories may eventually become forgotten in the doldrums of history ie The Amazons of Africa ( Story between Egba’s and Dahomey), Badagry the Point of No Return, amongst others.

He sure will be remembered for documenting the story behind the Osun Osogbo festival, Story of Susan Wenger also known as Adunni Olorisa, his movie Sango.

He lived a relatively peaceful life in his Dideolu court before his Home call to Glory.

May Pa Lasode’s soul continue to rest in peace and may the entire Lasode family be granted the fortitude to bear this irreplaceable loss of one of Nigeria’s Originals .

VSS Care Foundation Provides Food Aid To Needy Family In Lagos - ARIYA247 TV

As part of its objective of helping the needy in the society, VSS Foundation on Friday donated food items to a family in the Lawanson area of Lagos State.

VSS Care Foundation was founded in 2023 by Foluso Omosebi, an Ireland based philanthropist with the aim of giving back to the society.

The food items were presented by Mrs Laide Gold, the foundation's Nigerian director on behalf of the foundation to Jamiu Kalejaiye who received the food items on behalf of himself and his 14-year old son, Farouk.

Jamiu thanked the foundation for coming to their aid in times of need and prayed for the success of the foundation. Jamiu noted that the foundation has been providing succour for the family through financial assistance aside from the donated food items.

14-year old Farouk who is in Junior Secondary School, JSS 3 class and hoped to become a graphic designer in the future thanked Foluso Omosebi for helping the family through her foundation. He, however, called for further assistance in his education to help him realise his future ambition.

Speaking on the donation, Mrs Laide Gold said the gesture was part of the foundation's core values of assisting the less privileged in the society.

She added that the foundation is committed to supporting Farouk in his education in achieving his dream.

In June, VSS Care Foundation also visited Erelu Adebayo Children's Home which is an orphanage in Ekiti where the founder, Foluso also donated food items to the children.

She also visited the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital where medical bills of some accident victims were paid.

Open Letter To Barry Showkey - Alhaji Arems

Showkey, I’ve been tagged, called upon, and urged to speak up—people consider me a promoter and guardian of Fuji’s spirit. In light of your recent interview on Agbaletu, it's time I offered frank counsel as one who has watched, nurtured, and shaped Fuji culture.

You are the son of Late Alhaji Sikiru Ayinde Barrister, the founding architect of Fuji music—an origin story rooted in Nigeria and nurtured on home soil. You inherited not just your father’s voice, but his brand, name, and a deep audience of loyal fans. Yet, you chose to relocate to the United States. That decision signaled a distancing from both the industry and the heritage you were entrusted with.

Barry Showkey, I wish to emphasize something personal and essential. You know your true father—seek his blessing, and never deny his existence. If Barrister was not your biological father, then you should honor the man who is your real father, introduce him to the world and never feel ashamed of his role in your life. Barrister may have fronted you to gain recognition, but your biological father—Yekini—deserves acknowledgment and respect in your story.

From your base in America, you have critiqued the Fuji scene at home—labeling it stagnant, faulting active artists for failing the genre. You responded strongly to K1’s claim that the name “Fuji” predated your father, calling it a deliberate attempt to disrespect him and disrupt history. But the harsh truth is: the people working tirelessly in Nigeria aren’t your enemies—they’re the ones who stayed behind to carry the torch.

Criticism from abroad feels easier when stakes are lower. If you truly believed in Fuji music, you’d not have left the country where it was born. Fuji thrives through presence—in rehearsals, in festivals, in grassroots engagement. When you departed, a gap was created, and others stepped in—not to overshadow you, but to keep the legacy alive.

Your return single, “RoboRobo,” released in May 2025, signals intent and determination. That energy is your strongest asset now. But strength without humility can build walls instead of bridges. Instead of framing those on the frontlines as uninspired or reductive, see them as collaborators in a mission beyond any one person. Remastered tributes, combined works, shared platforms—these are the work that lifts Fuji forward.

You are the bridge between diaspora and homegrown Fuji. Your reach is global. But influence—lasting influence—demands physical presence, mutual respect, and genuine partnership. Start by embracing the elders. Approach them not as rivals, but as custodians and potential allies in a shared legacy.

Make no mistake: your choices shaped your path. No one forced your relocation. The brand was given. The fan base was legacy. What wasn’t leveraged then can still be seized now. Owning your decisions—without blame—is the first step toward rebuilding.

So here is the heart of my message: humility over pride, collaboration over conflict. The industry isn’t waiting to block you—it’s waiting for your return in unity. Choose that path. Reconnect, learn, and build together. The Fuji community is ready. This season of renewal can become your strongest legacy chapter.

With respect and belief in Fuji’s future,

Alhaji Arems
