Stop Boko Haram if you are a true Man of God.. Ghana Pastor dares TB Joshua

General Overseer of the Church of Rabbi is urging Nigerian prophet, TB Joshua to stop the activities of Islamist group, Boko Haram in Nigeria if he wants his prophecies to be taken seriously.

 Prophet Kwabena Tawiah said he is baffled at how the supposed prophet did nothing and now the Boko Haram insurgents have infiltrated and carried out several bombings in Nigeria. In his view, TB Joshua who is the head of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) should concentrating on driving away Boko Haram from Nigeria and “leave Ghana alone”. Prophet Kwabena Tawiah’s comment is in reaction to TB Joshua’s prophecy of an eminent attack on Ghana and Nigeria.

Last Sunday, the renowned prophet asked his congregation to pray against the attack which could happen either on Thursday, Friday or Saturday. The Nigerian Prophet was emphatic in prophesying that, “I see Thursday, Friday. Pray for these two nations – Nigeria and Ghana – over gathering in any way; over an attack. I am seeing the attack and that will be in a foreign way. The attack will come not in a local way. So please open your lips and pray for these two nations for protection.”

 But his prophecy has been met with a lot of criticisms with many religious bodies including the Christian Council calling on security agencies to ignore it since Ghana cannot run on “the back of prophecies.” In support, the outspoken Kwabena Tawiah stressed that the prophecy must be treated with the contempt it deserves.

Describing TB Joshua’s prophecy as unnecessary, the Church of Rabbi leader said assuming without admitting that the prophecy is true, God would have revealed it to a Ghanaian prophet and not a foreigner. “What is TB Joshua saying; he should leave Ghana alone and concentrate on Boko Haram in Nigeria” he fumed.

Rather, Kwabena Tawiah called on TB Joshua to support President Buhari with his prophecies to help arrest the Boko Haram insurgents terrorizing citizens in Nigeria.

Mothers write heartbreaking letters to stolen daughters by Boko Haram

On April 14, 2014, 276 girls ages 16-18 were kidnapped by Boko Haram insurgents from their school in Chibok, Borno State. Fifty-seven of them courageously escaped on their own. Zero has been rescued and 219 remain in the hands of the world’s deadliest terrorist organisation whose members force grown men to swallow bullets for breakfast and utilise women as detonating weapons of war. April 14, 2016 marked two years in captivity.
 Yet, #HopeEndures.

 I am an attorney and the Founder/Executive Director of Pathfinders Justice Initiative, Inc. (www.pathfindersji.org), an international NGO which seeks justice and provides rehabilitation for survivors of child sex abuse, rape and sex trafficking in the developing world (primarily in West Africa).
 I am also an activist and an organiser for #BringBackOurGirls, the global movement demanding the rescue and rehabilitation of the Chibok Girls of Nigeria. I am Nigerian. I am a mother.

 Over the last week (April 4-9, 2016), I had the honour of walking with the families of three of the abducted Chibok Girls in an effort to document their lives over the last two years without their daughters. I am honoured that they have trusted me with their truth. The result is this photo essay entitled, “Letters to Our Daughters: #HopeEndures”.
It is comprised of photographs reflecting the hollow reality of life for mothers Esther Yakubu, Rebecca Samuel and Martha Enoch without their daughters, Dorcas, Sarah and Monica. The excerpts are captured below:

Letter from Martha Enoch to her daughter,
Monica Enoch

Life has been difficult without you these last two years. My life is in discomfort and I have been living with hypertension since they stole you from me on April 14, 2014. We miss you whenever we remember the role that you played in our family, especially your sisters. You were so kind and so special because you touched the lives of everyone that met you. Our prayers have never ended for you and we still sing your favorite choruses that you would sing in church. We sing them every morning and every evening in Hausa and we remember your voice. I always end up in tears. I wanted you to be a doctor and in fact, we have nicknamed [our other daughter] ‘doctor’ because of you. Your father had a dream where he saw you walking up a ladder to heaven. My hope is that I will see you here on earth again but if I do not, I know you are in heaven. Please serve God faithfully and I pray that God brings you back to me. I miss you, my daughter.

From your mum, Martha Enoch.

Letter from Rebecca Samuel to her Daughter,
  Sarah Samuel

You were only eighteen at the time of your abduction. By now you would be twenty years; that means it’s been two years since you were taken from me. I am suffering, I am bitter, I cry every time and I am praying and fasting. Many things are hard and we are just managing life. I know and believe in God that if there is still life, one day we will see you again. People say that the [abduction] is a lie, but it is true.
I want to tell them that if it were their children, how would they feel? The 219 children have not returned since then. If not because of God’s grace, we all would have died. Some of us [parents] got hypertension, while others got different illnesses because we were thinking about our abducted children. If you were dead, we would have cried and been able to move on. But we do not know if you are still alive or dead.
 That is why we are worried. I cry and my heart is bitter every night. I am praying that if you are alive, God should rescue you. I believe God will save you. As your mother, I am begging God for you to continue praying wherever you are. I want to tell you to be strong and continue praying. I lost everything, I lost everything when I lost you.

From your mother, Rebecca.

Letter from Esther Yakubu to her Daughter,
 Dorcas Yakubu

 April 14, 2016

 It has been long I heard from you. How are you and your friends, wherever you are? Hoping that you are doing better, or managing life, and I know that the angel of the Lord Almighty is with you, and He will continue to be with you wherever you are. You don’t know – you don’t have any idea of the plans I have been planning for you all this while. From birth, I’ve been planning for you, your life, your education, your health, before you were kidnapped.
Before marriage, I wanted you to go to the university, because I have not been there. My hope is that you will be a fashion designer as a woman. I had even bought a sewing machine for you, and a travelling bag, and some set of clothes. But up till now, for two years, I have not seen or heard anything from you.
But I would like to advise you, wherever you are, please be strong in the Lord and He will see you through. I know I miss you, but I have the heart and I have the hope that one day I will see you again. I believe that one day I will fulfill my promise to you, and I will see you again, and my happiness, my joy, my life will be complete with you and I will be a happy mother again.
 The Lord is your strength and I have that hope in me that I will see you again and I will rejoice in the Lord Almighty.

 From your mum, Esther Yakubu

Barcelona Legend, Lionel Messi reaches 500 goals milestone vs Valencia

Argentine superstar Lionel Messi tonight reached 500 goals for club and country, pulling one back for Barcelona against Valencia whilst trailing 2-0.
 The 28-year-old footballing legend ended his 515 minute goal drought, sliding the ball past Valencia goalkeeper Diego Alves from 10 yards.
 However, it wasn’t to be a night of celebration with Barcelona dropping yet more points in a La Liga title race that has been blown open over the past couple of weeks. Leo Messi didn’t even celebrate his milestone goal with Luis Enrique’s men desperately needing a positive result.
The 2-1 defeat at home to struggling Valencia leaves Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid both within a point with only five games remaining. See the best tweets on Leo Messi’s incredible goalscoring feat below. He’s still only 28!

FOOLISH: Neymar slapstick celebrating Valencia fan after defeat

Neymar could be facing a ban for his antics following the full time whistle of Barcelona’s shock 2-1 defeat at home to Valencia.

 The 24-year-old Brazilian had yet another poor game and took his frustration out on some of the celebrating Valencia players.

 In a pretty cowardly act, Neymar was filmed slapping one of his opponents before quickly running away. He received a four game ban at the Copa America for a similar incident.

STRANGE!!! Lightening Reportedly kills 2 during church prayer session in Imo State

Tragedy struck in Imo State as 25-year-old Chioma Jonathan, a native of Obiangwu in Ngor Okpala Local Government Area and Chinonye Anyanwu, aged 26, from Ahiazu Mbaise LGA, both in Imo State, died when they were struck by lightning.

According to Daily Sun, the unfortunate incident happened when the two women went to participate in the regular Holy Ghost Hour prayer session of Heavenly Sure Charismatic Church, a Pentecostal church, usually held in the premises of Comprehensive Secondary School, Emekuku in Owerri North LGA, Imo State.

 It was also gathered that the 54-year-old General Overseer of the church, Pastor Luke Nwokocha, who led the short-lived prayer session was slightly affected as he temporarily lost consciousness and was rushed to a hospital by his wife and another member of the church, where he was revived.

Linda Ikeji talks about her beef with Wizkid and why he involved the police

I'm sure many of you have read that the police is now involved in my issue with Wizkid. Yes, I reported his public threat to me two Sundays ago to the Lagos State Commissioner of Police and I want to explain why I did it! Please pay attention and keep an open mind. I've read a lot online from people saying I don't like Wizkid.

Even Wizkid himself thinks I don't like him. Why he or anyone would think so is puzzling to me to be honest. Apart from his achievements after he started insulting me online a few weeks ago...everything else, every success Wizkid has recorded in the last 3/4 years is on LIB.

 All the awards, all the record breaking feats, his sold out concerts, his foreign magazine features, and collaborations, everything that has built him up to the young man he is today is on LIB. Please verify! Search my blog. Please continue... I was a huge Wizkid fan. The only song I danced harder to than his 'Dance For Me' track was Fuse ODG's 'Antenna and Kiss Daniel & DJ Shabzy's Raba. So, no, I had no dislike for Wizkid.

But about a year ago, I noticed his indirect snide remarks at me...and when some other music star beefed with me, Wizkid showed his support and made disrespectful comments. That was when I noticed he had issues with me... but that didn't stop me from writing about him and celebrating him. Now to the issue at hand. When I reported that he was served quit notice at his Lekki home, I stated fact and I didn't write it out of malice.

It's not everyday you get exclusive stories...and I'm sure any other blogger who got the story first would also have published it. So, there was no beef, I was just doing my job. A day or so after I wrote this story, Wizkid went on my instagram page to call me names and lied that I slept with some director of his...which I have said before is 1000% lies! But the insult and lies is not why the police is now involved. Here's the thing; You can insult me, insult my family, call me any names you like, even lie that I slept with your forefathers...but don't threaten me. If you threaten me, I will act! I read people online saying that I reported to the police because I am scared of Wizkid.

No, my darlings, I am not afraid of Wizkid. Though I do not take his threats lightly. I went to the authorities for two reasons...and please young boys of our generation, pay attention to what I am about to write below. You see, violence against women and threat of violence against women is not okay. Threatening harm to someone in a public space is a criminal act in every country of the world, including Nigeria. I bet some of you didn't know that, yeah? You can not publicly threaten someone with harm.

You will only get away with it if your victim doesn't report to the authorities. If they do, you will have a case with the police and I promise you, the police take these things seriously. I reported this case to the authorities because I want our young men to know this is not okay. You should not raise your hands on a woman. You shouldn't even threaten to raise your hands on a woman.

 Wizkid wrote that he would send his 16 year old cousin to beat the shit out of me. Letting Wizkid get away with it is basically telling our young men that this is okay...and it's not! After Wizkid made the threat to me, I saw a lot of teen boys hailing and applauding him. To them, this was okay. If their idol can threaten a woman with harm, and use derogatory words, they also can do it...and that's how the circle of abuse of women continues. Women being called 'smelly pussy' trended online for a day or two! Little boys were happy to use the words. Sad! It is appalling to me that anyone, especially women, would cheer Wizkid on.

When he wrote RIP Linda, I saw a few young girls write same, laughing. This is not a laughing matter. It doesn't matter whether you like me or not! This is not about Linda Ikeji. This is about abuse of women which has eaten deep into our society, so deep that it has now been accepted as normal. Men do it all the time and get away with it. So many women are battered by their husbands and they refuse to speak up because of the stigma. They refuse to seek help because they are afraid of what people will say. I am sorry, I am not one of those women. I refuse to be victimized. And as long as I have my voice and my platform, I will speak up.

We women have to come together to lend a strong voice to the plight of women in our continent. When we see a woman being physically and mentally abused, let's act. Let's speak up. Let's not laugh and say she deserves it. If we continue to keep quiet, the circle of abuse will continue. And one day, You, yes You, will find yourself in the receiving end of a thundering slap, followed by heavy blows. If not you, then maybe your daughter? Let's condemn violence and threat of violence against women! This is not acceptable! Young men like Wizkid, a father of two young boys himself, should never advocate violence against women. One day, he will have a daughter, how would he feel if another male threatens to put hands on her or even calls her a hoe? I can't count how many times Wizkid called me a hoe in his rant against me.

 That's what boys do. When they get into a fight with a woman, they try to slut-shame her. Smelly pussy, hoe, ashawo etc. You call a woman, who gave another young woman, whose real name she doesn't even know N500,000 just because she said she would rather work by carrying cement than prostitute herself (yes, Blessing Nicholas got N500k from me), that's the person you call a hoe? When your mind is so warped you can't differentiate between a woman and a hoe, then this is what happens. Except you drive to Sanusi Fanfuwa at 2am to pick up a prostitute, who proudly describes herself as one, then you shouldn't call any woman a hoe.

 Even Tupac who was a well known thug could differentiate between the types of women he dealt with. When asked in an interview why he called women bitches, he said people shouldn't confuse things, that he wouldn't address a mother or a sister the way he would address a bitch, that the bitches were the ones he dealt with in the clubs who behaved like one. He reiterated that he respected women! In more civilized countries, Wizkid would have lost his endorsements and spent the next year or so apologizing and being in the fore-front of promoting anti-violence crusades against women. It took Chris Brown years to get back on his feet after his assault on a woman.

Up till today, he doesn't have any major endorsements and some countries still deny him entrance into their country i.e Australia for something he did 7 years ago. Yes, violence against women is serious! And there's the case of incitement. When you have power and influence, you have to be careful what you say in public. Because you have such power, something you say can influence your followers. A fan can commit acts that even you may not support or might not even condone. But because it came out of your mouth, they think you mean it. So it is irresponsible to say things that might be inciteful. In Law, you can be held responsible when people act based on what you said in public. Tupac was charged to court and indicted after some thugs killed a police officer. The thugs went to court and mentioned that their idol encouraged violence against LA police officers in a song where he said 'Drop a cop'. So, we folks with some measure of influence should be more careful with our utterances. People are watching and listening!

The second reason I filed a police report is to encourage other women in similar situations to do same. My dear ladies, if a man threatens to puts hands on you, and you feel the threat is real, report to the authorities. Don't wait until he does it. What if you don't survive it? If he's picked up and may be charged to court (yes, you can be charged to court for making threats...it's a misdemeanor with a prison sentence), then he will think twice before making threats against you in the future or any other woman for that matter. I went as far as I did for me and for other women. This is to pass a strong message to our young men that these kinds of behaviour towards women will not be tolerated. Should not be tolerated.

 If you assault or even threaten to assault a woman, the law will come after you if she chooses not to be silent. Women, don't be silent. Let's break the circle. For your sake, for my sake, for the sake of our daughters, grand daughters, great grand daughters and all other women that will follow them. And that's really all I have to say in the matter. Thank you guys for reading And to Wizkid fans, please be rest assured that I wish him all the best in life.

He will continue to grow from strength to strength (as long as he doesn't endorse violence against women) and his light will never diminish. God brought him to this level and will continue to keep him. I have nothing but love for his craft and hope that one day, we will put this behind us. God bless him, me, you and everyone else in the world Cheers. Oh and by the way, I'm starting my vlog series soon. #excited!

I don't know if many of you have listened to Drake's new track featuring Wizkid 'One dance' .
Many of his (wizkid) fans were disappointed with the role he played on the track . Some say he was used as a backup singer ..lol.   You'll actually have to put in a little work to find him on the track.

Buhari Didn’t Sign Any Loan Deal With China – Presidency

The Presidency on Saturday said President Muhammadu Buhari did not sign any loan deal with the Peoples Republic of China during his just-concluded one-week working visit to the country.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, gave the clarification in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH.

Ahead of Buhari’s trip which started last Sunday, there were media reports that he would sign a $2bn loan deal with China during the visit as the Federal Government sought funds to finance the over N2tn budget deficit.

Jose Mourinho gets Ferguson's support to become next United Manager

As the weeks go by, and with Manchester United still playing poor attacking football and looking unlikely to make the top four, and Champions League football, Jose Mourinho continues to be linked with the Old Trafford job.

In truth, the Jose Mourinho to Manchester United rumours have been swirling ever since The Special One left Chelsea with LVG never fully convincing the Old Trafford faithful this season. The last week has pretty much summed up Manchester United under Louis van Gaal, a team capable of big results but not one that ever excites. United were blown away at Spurs last Sunday. Then surprisingly won at West Ham in the FA Cup, a competition they could well win. Saturday saw United beat Aston Villa 1-0 but even against the worst team in the Premier League, Louis van Gaal’s side just could not put together the attacking football that has made them famous and brought in so many fans from across the world.

 One of the best sources for Manchester United insider gossip is fanzine Red Issue. To understand the power struggles at Old Trafford, involving the likes of CEO Ed Woodward, legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson plus legendary players in Bobby Charlton and Ryan Giggs, see this post from February: Red Issue provide fascinating insight into the power struggles at Man United [Tweets].

 On Saturday evening, Red Issue have confirmed that the power struggle may well be over. Sir Alex Ferguson is no longer opposed to Jose Mourinho taking over at Manchester United. And, you can expect SAF to continue being very complimentary about Mourinho in public…
