Days after cancelling her North American tour, citing separatist threats, Libianca has released a snippet of a song dedicated to restoring peace in Cameroon and Palestine.

The singer who is known for her hit single, ‘People’ wrote,

‘I didn’t want to share this with anyone and I don’t plan on releasing or finishing it but God gave me these gifts to share and it’s the only way I know how to put how I feel into words that make sense. To everyone that did, Thank you for speaking life over me and sending the kindest messages.

In her lyrics, she said selfishness has brought us to the present predicament because people just want to fight but are unable to give peace a chance.

‘Let them know, free my people…shooting bullets at each other, the pains becomes unbearable.’

Adding that, ‘the power of the tongue is greater thatm any other.’

She also questions why the powerful and rich will steal from the poor and ravage their blood.

‘Free Cameroon, Free Palestine and stop the war’, is the central mes
sage of Libianca’s snippet which she said she was still holding unto the music but decided to release because God gave her the talent to sing and share.

Since 2016, the Anglophone regions of Cameroon have hit by a conflict that started with Unionist strike before entering into a full blown conflict when Separatists forging to restore the independence of the former Bristish Trust Territory, Southern Cameroons, now North West and South West regions, responded to a miliatry crackdown on protesters by creating armed groups.

Libianca is from the North West region of Cameroon and was recently bashed by Separatists for holding a Cameroon flag. She responded by cancelling her tour in North America, before releasing a video where she said, her Cameroonian identity is rooted in the United Republic of Cameroon.

A recent video circulating on social media has sparked controversy as renowned Nigerian pastor, Paul Enenche, interrupted a woman’s testimony during a church service, alleging it to be false.

In the video, the woman, identified as Anyim Christiana Nwamaka, was sharing her testimony of being the first graduate in her family, expressing gratitude for achieving a Bachelor’s degree in Law.

However, Pastor Enenche interjected, stating that there is no such thing as a Bachelor’s degree in Law, and questioned the authenticity of her testimony.

Images shared on social media later revealed that Nwamaka indeed graduated on April 13, 2024, from the University of Abuja.

In a Facebook post, she expressed her gratitude for completing her Law program at the National Open University Abuja. She wrote ‘ And it came to pass yesterday 13th April being Saturday, 2024 at National Open University Abuja. Father, I am saying thank you for making me to Graduate from my Law programme.’

The incident has stirred a
wave of reactions online, with many condemning Pastor Enenche’s actions as excessive and embarrassing.

Kennedy Chibuike, a Facebook user called for an immediate apology from the pastor, stating that the embarrassment inflicted upon Nwamaka was unjustifiable. ‘That pastor went too far; that embarrassment was way too much. That so-called man of God should apologize to that woman ASAP,’ Kennedy Chibuike said.

Oluyemisi Balogun Akinlolu, another user on his part expressed empathy for Nwamaka, highlighting the global embarrassment caused by the pastor’s actions. He wondered, ‘What would it cost Pastor Enenche if he immediately informed the lady that her testimony was wrong and corrected her on the spot. It is a global embarrassment of the highest proportions. I feel for the lady.’

Some speculated that Pastor Enenche’s behavior may have been influenced by a previous incident involving a fake miracle in his church, suggesting that he may have reacted to Nwamaka’s testimony to avoid further social media backlash.

‘
I learned there was an occurrence in his church last week concerning a fake wheelchair miracle or so. Guess he behaved that way to avoid social media scandal of fake testimony,’ suggested Olagboye.

As the controversy continues to unfold, many await an apology from Pastor Enenche for his handling of the situation.
