Collect your Certificates before December or face Penalty, WAEC tells millions of Nigerians

Over 40 years old certificates are still with WAEC.

The West Africa Examination Council, WAEC, has threatened to impose penalties on candidates who failed to collect their certificates on or before December 31.

This is contained in a statement signed by the Deputy Director, Public Affairs, Yusuf Ari, on Monday in Lagos.

It stated that millions of certificates of candidates who sat for WAEC examinations since 1960s had long been signed but were not collected by candidates.

"We wish to inform the general public that certificates up to May/June 2012 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), conducted by WAEC have been printed and dispatched to schools for collection by candidates.

"And certificates for external candidates for up to November/December 2012 WASSCE diet, also conducted by the Council have also been printed and are equally awaiting collection by candidates at WAEC offices nationwide.

"The external candidates, especially who wrote the November/December examination diets are advised to go and collect their certificates from all our zonal branches or satellite offices in the states.

"We urge candidates to go to where they sat for the examination because we no longer have enough space to harbour them. Most of these certificates have been lying fallow in our various offices with no one coming forward to collect them.

"Candidates come in trickles for them, only when they have absolute need for them and I think it should not be so. We therefore wish to warn that WAEC will be charging extra fee for the custody of these certificates if the candidates failed to collect them later than December 31," the statement said.

1. Be Prepared With A Plan

There aren't too many things more impressive than a guy that is prepared for a date. It shows you took some time out to think about how the date will do. You don't have to have a minute to minute plan (cos that's weird) but a general plan of how the date will go. For example Dinner, Drinks, then a Lounge. Sounds like a decent enough plan. Just don't show up and say, "So what do you want to do?"

2. Be Clean

When I say clean, I really mean clean. That means take a shower, wear clean nice clothes (you don't have to have the latest fashion), deodorant, brushed teeth, hair groomed etc. I'm talking be clean. You'd be surprised how being clean can get you up the ladder pretty quick. And if you're picking her up in your car, make sure that's clean too. No girl likes a guy that's just looking anyhow.

3. Bring A Small Gift

You're trying to impress her right? Bring a small gift. It doesn't have to be anything too expensive. A small box of chocolate, flowers, a bottle of wine etc are examples of little things that you can bring. It will go a long way to scoring you some serious points. But make sure it's nothing too expensive. I mean don't bring an S4 galaxy in the name of a gift. You might come off as too strong or focusing on showing off. Something thoughtful and small does the trick. I'm sure before the date you would've found out something she would like.

4. Communicate Well

This is probably the most important part of the date after #2 of course. Be a good communicator. That means ask questions, listen to her talk, look into her eyes and don't colonize the conversation. Don't talk too much about your achievements (as Nigerian men tend to do) or talk about yourself the whole time. Get to know her. It should be a dialog not a monolog.

It also helps to be funny, but don't try too hard.

5. Pay For The Date

Unless you're dutch, please pay the bill. If she offers, please decline. It's a trick. LOL. It's not because you want to impress her with your money, or she cant pay for herself. It's just because it's the right thing to do. Just fall in line and do as told because believe me, if you don't, the chances of you hearing back from her is slim to none. Even the big time extreme feminists will not like you for it.

Well that's all folks. Hope I've helped one of two or ten people out there with these tips. Follow these steps and if she doesn't call you back, then come and get your money back.

Al-Mustapha Didn’t Kill Kudirat Abiola - OPC Leader Fasehun

The founder of the Oodua People's Congress, Dr. Fredrick Fasehun, in this interview with Punch's man, Allwell Okpi, explains why he went to Kano with Maj. Hamza Al-Mustapha, the former Chief Security Officer of late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha. Except:

How can you define your relationship with Hamza Al-Mustapha?
He is a Nigerian, I'm a Nigerian. He is a Nigerian citizen that was wrongly accused and I'm a crusader for justice. I felt that he was a victim of injustice. I thought my attribution and characteristics should come to play by telling the entire world that there was no justice in the treatment he was given for an offence he did not commit.

Many believe that Al-Mustapha masterminded the assassination of several people, including Kudirat Abiola, and some people testified to that in court. How come you say he is innocent? Is that not the story we were told? Is that not what the media gave to the public? The press didn't write to tell the Nigerian public that one of the same witnesses that said Al-Mustapha gave him the gun with which he killed Kudirat came back to court, crying like a baby and saying he was induced by the state to give the evidence. 'Who is the state?' He mentioned three levels, including the director-general of the State Security Service at the time. 'What were you induced with?' He said they promised that he would be given a house in Abuja; he would be posted outside the country; he would be paid salary in foreign currency, and his wife would be given money every month for sustenance.

When the state failed in its part of the bargain, he decided to confess the true version of his involvement. Some of the witnesses, as a result of complying with the wishes of the state, were set free and they were walking the streets freely. They even went back to their jobs. One of them was not even in Lagos in June, 1996. On June 4, when Kudirat was murdered, Katako was getting married in Azare, in Bauchi State. He got married at 10am; Kudirat was killed between 8 and 9am. And the judge of the lower court was told all that and she recorded everything said by those witnesses, and she based her judgment of hanging on those two witnesses. That was prosecution witness numbers two and three.

When the judge of the lower court was going to give judgment, she knew that such a crime might earn death sentence, she itemised the evidences but said there were circumstantial evidences. Circumstantial evidences in murder case? What are these circumstantial evidences, she didn't say. She wrote 326 pages of judgment. What was she looking for writing 326 pages of judgment? According to the Appeal Court, she was fishing for truth, falsehood and lies. The Appeal Court wrote about 32 pages destroying her judgment, with various authorities cited. At the end, the Appeal Court didn't see what circumstances the lower court based its judgment, so it refused the judgment on hard facts and evidences from credible witnesses; not witnesses that gave evidences and came back to retract them.

Don't you think those people would have been induced to retract their earlier testimony?
That is ridiculous. Who will induce them? Al-Mustapha was in prison. Don't forget that he was even accused of planning a coup in prison and some generals even said he was attempting to import stinger missiles into Nigeria. And when they called him to face the panel, he disgraced the entire panel by asking them questions. He asked them how much a stinger missile cost. None of them knew. He told them that the smallest type cost $250m (N40.3bn). Where will he get that in prison? And in that coup, I was supposed to have been his accomplice. The SSS invited me and queried me. I told them to put their questions in writing and I would respond in writing. They retreated.

How come they linked you with Al-Mustapha in the supposed coup plot, were you that close to him?
I don't know. I've always believed that Al-Mustapha did not commit the offence. So, I would occasionally visit him in Kirikiri. I met Al-Mustapha during the seating of Oputa Panel. I didn't know him before that time. Even at the panel. I didn't know him until when I had given my own evidence and I was going to the toilet and he was sitting near the entrance of the toilet. And when I wanted to enter the toilet, he stood up and said, 'you are Dr. Fasehun?' I said 'and you?' He said 'I'm Al-Mustapha.' I said, 'you Al-Mustapha?' And I didn't say a word to him again. But when that seating ended, he came to me. He said, 'sir, congratulations.' I said, 'what for?' Mind you, I still had that grudge against him. He said because you are one of the few leaders that didn't come to Aso Rock Villa. I said 'thank you.'

It was about three months later that I took interest in his case. Then, I started visiting him regularly until he started telling me so many things. I prevailed on him that as a military man, there are some information that he should not give to me. I told him we will be friends, provided he didn't set this country ablaze.

Many people, including Yoruba leaders, have questioned your trip to Kano with Al-Mustapha. Why did you go all the way? I once said they should release Al-Mustapha. If they don't release him, they should take him to Abuja, Jos or Sokoto. They should take him out of Yorubaland. A fifth columnist could have been sent to liquidate that young man and, if he died in our hands, every Yoruba throat in the North would be slashed. All those that failed to leave the North will be killed. Now that God has prevailed on the situation and he did not die in our hands, I took him there to hand him over to the governor and the Galadima of Kano, because the Emir of Kano was not in town.

I told them that when Al-Mustapha was leaving Kano, he was in tatters, his hands were in shackles and his legs were in chains. I'm returning him on behalf of the Yoruba people hale and hearty, please look after him. I was not thinking of my own interest, because at 78, I'm not afraid of death. I did it for my people. When we got to Kano, the crowd was not singing any other thing but Oodua, Oodua. It was not Dr. Fasehun, it was Oodua. After I had spoken there, one of their big leaders said, 'Dr. Fasehun, we kept quiet watching what you were doing.' I didn't know what he meant by 'you.' He added, 'but after this journey, we see you as the greatest bridge-builder.'

When I was leaving, 45 northern leaders saw me off. So, it dawned on me that what I did was not a child's play. On Monday, the Youruba community in Kano, which is four million-strong, invited me to speak to them. When I explained to them why I was in Kano, the Sheik amongst them said 'sir', we have nothing to give you but we are giving you a chieftaincy title, High Chief Olododo.'

You said you went to Kano on behalf of Yoruba people, but some Afenifere leaders have faulted that trip, saying you were not representing the Yoruba. How do you reconcile this? I didn't say I was representing the Yoruba and I didn't interact with Afenifere leaders or anybody at all on that issue.

But their grouse is that you openly associated with Al-Mustapha, who represents the Sani Abacha regime that persecuted a lot of Yoruba people.That is the lingering grudge we all had against Al-Mustapha. He was part of a regime that persecuted Yoruba people. But, should human beings nurse grudges for 20 years?

You have been accused of being sponsored to destabilise the South-West and some have said your trip to Kano further proved that. What's your response to that? With all modesty, I will be counted as one of those the Yoruba people that are in love with Yoruba people. There is no way I would work against the interest of the Yoruba. Those who are sponsoring damaging comments about me are doing it from their political standpoint, which I've been trying to expose. But unfortunately, I don't have money to sponsor the exposure.

The Yoruba people of current times think money is everything. Many of them don't believe in integrity. They don't even believe in what (Obafemi) Awolowo struggled for. They are encouraging a one-man dictatorship, smuggling in one-party system into the South-West through the back door. I've been trying to remove the veil from the eyes of Yoruba people. If I see trends inimical to the interest of Yoruba people, I should be in a position to say 'don't go there, a tiger is lurking behind the door.'

Why SéX Is Good For Your Body Skin (Opinion)

When we complain to our dermatologists about having dull complexions or suffering from adult acne, the last thing we expect them to prescribe is s*x. But it turns out getting "busy" has benefits beyond the bedroom (or wherever you choose to get it in).

Dr. David Weeks, a British consultant clinical psychologist and former head of old age psychology at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital, made us blush with his research that claims regular s*x can make you look younger. In a new study, Dr. Weeks found that older men and women with an active s*x life appeared five to seven years younger than their actual age.

Curious as to whether Dr. Weeks has truly uncovered "the fountain of youth," we asked a few experts to explain exactly how having more s*x is good for our skin.

1. It releases anti-inflammatory molecules.
Dr. Amy Wechsler, who takes a whole-body approach to dermatology, credits s*x for its skin-healing abilities. "We're constantly damaging and repairing our skin, and you want to tip the scale more towards repair," said Dr. Wechsler.

She explained, "When you have s*x, you're bathing the skin in anti-inflammatory molecules such as oxytocin and beta endorphins. As we get older, we don't heal as often as we repair. But having s*x can turn the clock back on that."

2. It makes your skin physically glow.
s*xual intercourse also boosts our immune system, prevents stagnation, allows us to feel more alive and sweat out toxins from our pores, according to Amy Levine, s*x coach and founder of Ignite Your Pleasure.

"This translates to our skin's radiance and being more at ease with facial expression (as we use our facial muscles to express ourselves during a s*xual encounter). Ultimately, giving a post-s*x glow and possibly helping to ward off wrinkles," said Levine.

Sweating is sure to impart a dewy glow, however Dr. Wechsler said that it is an increase in circulation that triggers the flush. Besides s*x, there is only one other activity that releases the anti-aging hormone oxytocin, and that is childbirth.

3. It prevents dry skin.
Another beauty benefit of having regular s*x is that it increases estrogen levels, which stave off dryness and improve skin elasticity. But Dr. Wechsler still believes strongly in using a good daily moisturizer.

4. It clears an acne breakout.
Individuals who have more s*x have even been proven to sleep better, and we all know how a good night's rest is connected to skincare. "Breakouts occur more when people are stressed or sleep deprived," said Dr. Wechsler. "And I think when you boost those anti-inflammatory molecules by having s*x, it is certainly helps treat acne."

As a s*x coach, Levine believes "the more, the better." But you don't need to "follow a prescription to figure out what's best for you," she said.

Sexologist Dr. Jill McDevitt echoes this belief, saying "I think people should be having as much s*x as they like, but not because it will make them looking young, specifically. When people make a decision to have s*x, they don't say, 'I really want to boost my immune system and increase my immunoglobulin A antibodies' or 'I want to increase the elasticity of the skin on my face, so let's have s*x.' People have s*x because it feels good, they enjoy it, they like feeling close to someone, they're bored and lonely."

Two to three times a week is the number of times Dr. Wechsler suggests having s*x to stay looking young, as doing it every day may not be realistic. She also recommends self service because let's face it, not everyone is in a relationship or hooking up. This sexually stimulating act may not release as many endorphins in comparison to doing the "do," but it's helpful.

Will you ditch your anti-aging creams and serums for more s*x?

Wizkid Is My Inspiration - Iyanya

Iyanya has just recently revealed that his inspiration while going through problems earlier in his career was younger EME act WIzkid.

Iyanya disclosed that he got inspired by the latter to keep his head high in the music industry and achieved the success he has today.
Wizkid had a natural way to the top by getting his hit track ''holla at your boy'' top the polls and since then the Starboy act hasn't looked back.

For Iyanya, just when many thought he would become a household name in Nigeria after he won the maiden edition of the MTN sponsored music talent show, the Calabar-born singer struggled for few years until luck smiled at him and he burst into fame with his hit track 'Kukere'.
Speaking recently on a TV show, the singer disclosed how Wizkid inspired him in the music industry.
He explained that when he thought of giving up because of the cold reception for his RnB single entitled 'True Love,' which he released after winning the competition, the success Wizkid's 'Holla At Ur Boy' made and the subsequent singles released by the 23-year-old made him to say to himself that if Wizkid could do it, he could, which gave rise to his 'Kukere' hit track.

AMASING: Baby Born With Muslim Prayer Rosary Round Her Neck (SEE)

Thousands of people trooped to a private maternity home in Kotaworo area of Bida, in Niger state on Sunday to catch a glimpse of a baby girl said to have been delivered with a Muslim prayer Rosary (Tasabih)  on her neck.

The middle aged mother of the baby, Adijat was said to have been rushed to a local midwife home near the residence of Pa Mohammed Bello Masaba, the  Polygamist at about 2 pm on Sunday and after minutes of labour, she was delivered of the baby.

According the owner of the local maternity home, Alhaji Abubakar Baiwa Shasha who took delivery of the baby, "I was shocked  when in the course of the delivery the baby came with a Chisbih on her neck. The baby was born with a black rosary at delivery point."

"But I was surprised  when after a while the rosary turned to white to the amazement of the few people around."

As soon as the news spread round the town, thousands trooped to the the maternity home shouting "Allahu Akibar; Allahu Akibar (God is Great) as they scrambled to see and touch the baby. "

Efforts to get the father of the baby, Isah, a native of Loma in Kwara State were fruitless as he refused to talk to our Correspondent.

An Islamic scholar, Malam Idiris Ndajiwo said the delivery of the baby with the mysterious rosary "showed the greatness of Allah. The delivery of the baby today, in this town and this area (Kutaworo) is a big thing to us Muslims. This actually goes to show that Allah is in control of what happens to any one and in the whole world."

Another well wisher and the Personal Assistant to popular Islamic scholar, Pa Mohammed Bello Masaba, the octogenarian super polygamist, Alhaji Muktari Salau Bello said, "we have never witnessed such kind of miracle before in this town, but we thanked Allah for what He has done. In fact what happened is a miracle and we are very happy about it".

The baby was later taken to the Etsu Nupe's palace where they were received and blessed by the royal father, Alhaji Yahaya Abubukar.

Confirming the delivery of the mysterious girl when contacted on phone, the Emirate Secretary Alhaji Abdulmalik Usman said, "it is true. The baby was brought to the Palace and she was received and blessed by His royal highness, the Etsu Nupe and they have since left for their home."

Taking Over of Rivers Assembly could invite military takeover FG – Catholic Leader!

The Catholic Church is seriously against the recent takeover of the Rivers State House of Assembly by the National Assembly, fearing that it might soon encourage other groups to attempt a take over the federal government.

A release by the Executive Secretary/National Coordinator of Justice Development and Peace Committee (JDPC) and Caritas Nigeria (JDPC), Reverend Father Evaristus Bassey "humbly advises against the concurrence of the Senate to the motion to take over the Rivers State House of Assembly. This could be an invitation for 'worse' take overs".

The Catholic Church was reacting to a recent pronouncement by the Federal House of Representative that said it would take over the day to day affairs of Rivers Assembly following recent fracas on the floor of the Assembly.

He said "the argument against military rule has always been that democratic institutions, if allowed to fumble and stand, would eventually reach a higher level of maturity.

"Although constitutionally empowered, the National Assembly, has not yet satisfactorily fulfilled its ordinary duties, not to speak of taking on extraordinary ones. The National Assembly could still provide support, without taking over the functions of the Rivers State House of Assembly".

Meanwhile, "we kindly advise Mr.
President to cease the manipulation
of events in Rivers State if he is so
connected. These events could be
early warning signals to greater
political catastrophes if they are
not nipped in the bud".

He said, "history has shown that
great upheavals and conflagrations
began with seemingly smaller events which were mismanaged.

"Governor Rotimi Amaechi, on his
part, while enjoying the support of
the vast majority of Nigerians,
should avoid acts that trigger
conflicts and the security of the
Rivers people in particular, and the
Nigerian nation in general".

Picture: Al Mustapha Visits TB Joshua Immediately After Release!

After many years in prison, he was finally released on Friday, 12th July, 2013.
From the prison, the first port of call was T.B. Joshua's place. Efforts to get in touch with Prophet T.B. Joshua to know what his visit was all about was like a blind man trying to put a thread through the eye of a needle. What a hard situation!

Soyinka Is An Embarrassment To His Admirers – Patience Jonathan!

Wife of the President, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, on Friday took on the Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, for attributing the crisis in the Rivers State House of Assembly to her.

In a statement by her spokesman, Ayo Osinlu, the President's wife said Soyinka betrayed the moral duty that expected him, as a respected member of the society, to carefully consider all shades of issues that informed his opinions on any matter.

Mrs. Jonathan said Soyinka had become an embarrassment to his admirers with his diatribe against her.

The statement read in part, "Unfortunately, Soyinka betrayed moral duty in his recent diatribe against Mrs. Patience Jonathan.

"Of course, this would not be the first time he would reach out against the First Lady, usually from self-righteously indignant lecterns.

"In this particular instance, his verdict was that Mrs. Jonathan was 'stoking the crisis currently rocking her home state of Rivers…', and thereupon asked Mr. President to caution his wife.

"The good, old Prof. reminds one of the truth that indeed, most of the giants on the street are men of like passions like everyone else. Worse still, most of them are actually standing on clay feet and would fail the test of a gentle push.

"Otherwise, who would have believed that the social, civil, constitutional and sundry rights crusader Prof. would maintain a safe distance from the heart of an activity that is a potential threat to the peace, security and safety of the people of a state, then collect exaggerated stories and jaundiced perspectives from familiar propagandists and character assassins, and promptly summon the media to a "state of the nation" address.

"It's an embarrassment to his throng of admirers and followers, that a sage of Prof. Soyinka's status, who used to be a gauge of public morality in this nation, would lend himself to a propaganda of high drive, to save a governor who elected to launch into a river without applicable survival skills."

Mrs. Jonathan argued that the calculation was to attack the President and pull to pieces anyone associated with him, as a strategy for attracting public sympathy to the "clear underdog."

In my many charades of snapping myself i discovered i liked this particular one very much and i wanted my friends to see and probably comment on it so i decided to drop it on facebook only to eventually end up with a breakup.  
Please you have to help me cos i love him so much."

Protesting Students Shut Lagos Traffic Down (READ)

It is said that "An unengaged mind is the Devils Playground", well, guess this is the exact situation that transpired as yesterday protesting students shut Lagos traffic down to a halt. 

Our reporters witnessed placard carrying students barricaded Ikorodu Road at Onipan area bemoaning their fate as they have been compelled to, yet again, sit at home due to the strike actions embarked upon by the lecturers.

The protest brought traffic on the ever busy Ikorodu road to a halt as the students danced and played football in the middle of the highway.

Traffic was witnessed from the National Stadium in Surulere straight down to Onipan area of Lagos as at 2pm. As the day progressed, both sides of the road got blocked and for anyone who knows Lagos, that person would know how a ridge lock in one area can lead to a complete traffic shut down in other areas and even with the best efforts of the Lagos State Traffic Management Unit, the situation stayed hopeless.

It is the general hope that the members of the academic unions and the federal government find a lasting solution to this predicament and save us all the associated stress.

"God Told Me Not To Celebrate My 50th Birthday' - TB Joshua Explains Why He Didn't Celebrate

The founder of Synagogue Church of All Nations turned 50 on June 12th and shunned all forms of celebration put together by his church members, choosing instead to celebrate by communicating with God at the 'mountains'. He explains why:


"There was a divine message to me to shun all activities on my 50th. I don't act if I don't get the call. There's a need to keep one's life in prayer. What I need now is more commitment and time with God and not celebrating. I will only celebrate when I'm 60. That is when I will forget about 50. Even the little activity put together by my church members, they know they were not celebrating Mr T.B Joshua rather Prophet T.B Joshua and it is their divine duty to do so.

Pastor Kumuyi Offers To Resign Due To Son’s Wedding Controversy

The General Superintendent of the Deeper Life Bible Church, Pastor Williams Kumuyi has offered to drop his position as the GS of the church due to the ongoing controversy trailing his son's wedding.

The Controversy:

Kumuyi's second son, John, and his wife Love wedded in Jamaica on June 15th, 2013 and the wife, Love, decked in attire different from the acceptable standard set for Deeper Life mambers by the church – a simple white cotton dress with no accessory, and makeup free.

Love was dressed in a fitted Cinderella wedding gown with a see through sleeves, wore a makeup, jewelry, and a bouquet of flower, and a huge throat-dripping cake. The couple also drove home in a limousine!

These generated myriad of controversies on social media, and criticism especially from the members of the church.

Though the couple felt remorseful and tendered an open apology but was declined by the father. They were later suspended from the church by the General Superintendent himself.

New Development:

According to Sunday Sun, the practice in the Deeper Life Church is that, if members' children misbehave, both the children and their parents get punished on the ground that it's the parents failing in their responsibilities.

It was learnt that during the meeting held by the leadership of the church concerning the issue, Pastor Kumuyi offered to resign as General Superintendent just to demonstrate there is no double standard in the church, but the members refused his request.

Secondary Schools in Yobe shut down after attack

The Yobe State governor Ibrahim Gaidam has visited Government Secondary School, Mamudo 24 hours after unknown gunmen attacked the school, killing 29 students and one teacher.

Reports say the hoodlums assembled the students before shooting at them from different directions as the students attempted to flee to safety.

Governor Gaidam, who was visibly touched by the killings, described it as inhumane and noted that God would expose the perpetrators and sponsors of the dastardly act.

He called on the security forces to change their modus operandi in checking the activities of the dreaded Islamists to end the ceaseless attacks in the state and the north-east zone as a whole.
He also called on the Chief of Defence Staff and the security forces to, as a matter of urgency, consider the restoration of GSM services in the three states under a state of emergency as residents are finding it difficult to report perpetrators to relevant authorities like the Joint Task Force (JTF).

He said in the two separate attacks on schools in the state, it was reported that residents saw the hoodlums at suburbs of Damaturu, the state capital but JTF could not be reached due to the absence of GSM services.

The shutdown on GSM services was part of measures aimed at curtailing the insurgency in the three states – BornoN Adamawa and Yobe.

Gaidam also revealed that boarding schools in the state will be fenced and that the JTF would provide the needed security across all schools in the state.

The governor also directed that all secondary schools in the state be closed down from Monday, July 8 until a new academic session begins in September.

A statement signed by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Information, Abdullahi Bego was released shortly after the Governor's visit to Mamudo. It read that "the measure is to allow government in collaboration with the Military Task Force and community leaders to evaluate and evoke better and additional strategies that would ensure the safety and security of students and their teachers."

Pastor Paul’s manipulative ‘witchcraft’

The gentleman doth protest too much, methinks!  The same Paul who says he would rather die than collect money now reveals he "robs" others of their money. 

 

Have you noticed that the primary business of pastors is the collection of money?  Every manipulative trick in the book is used to do this.  The father of this disgraceful practice is Paul.  Without a doubt, Paul is a past-master at manipulating churches for money.  It is not for nothing he boasts to the Corinthians: "Crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery!" (2 Corinthians 12:16).

 

Mercenary Paul

Paul says Christians are "indebted" to preachers: "If the Gentiles have been partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister to them in material things." (Romans 15:27).  This self-serving principle provides the blueprint for the "sowing and reaping" deception prevalent in the churches: "Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.  Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap." (Galatians 6:6-7).

The deceiver here is Paul.  For him, "sowing" is not planting the word of God in our hearts according to Jesus' injunction.(Luke 8:11-15).  It is not even giving to orphans or to widows.  It is giving money to the so-called "man of God;" in this case, Paul himself.  You see the trick here?  Paul fabricates a highfalutin religious principle primarily designed to get people to give him money.  He says: "Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in the word and doctrine. For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain." (1 Timothy 5:17-18).

Since man is not an ox, this amounts to quoting Moses out of context. (Deuteronomy 25:4).  Indeed, according to Jesus, we should not even expect a "thank you" for our services: "When you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, 'We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do." (Luke 17:10).

 

419 specialist

Paul barrages the Corinthians repeatedly.  He says to them: "If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things? If others are partakers of this right over you, are we not even more? Nevertheless we have not used this right, but endure all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ." (1 Corinthians 9:11-12). 

The man is nothing but a 419 specialist.  Paul says it is "a right" to collect money from them, but he will not use this right.  So why is he talking about it if not because he wants their money.  Is he not, in effect, doing what he says he should not do- hindering the gospel- by asking them for money?  Then he goes on: "Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel." (1 Corinthians 9:14). 

This is another one of Paul's blatant lies.  Surely, the Lord himself does not want the gospel to be hindered?  All believers are required to preach the gospel.  Does it mean, therefore, all believers should live by the gospel?  Certainly not!  Jesus' position is diametrically opposite.  He says: "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give." (Matthew 10:8).  This means we are not to insist on payment for spiritual services rendered.

 
Master manipulator

Paul's tactic is to go around asking for money while protesting he is not: "For you remember, brethren, our labor and toil; for laboring night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God. (1 Thessalonians 2:9).  Okay Paul, why not leave it at that?  But no!  He goes on: "I have used none of these things, nor have I written these things that it should be done so to me; for it would be better for me to die than that anyone should make my boasting void. What is my reward then? That when I preach the gospel, I may present the gospel of Christ without charge, that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel." (1 Corinthians 9:15-18).

Note the manipulation here.  Paul says he would rather die than collect any money.  But the reason why he is saying this is precisely because he wants them to give him money.  We then discover he actually collects money without committing suicide, using another cunning rationalisation: "Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the fruit that abounds to your account. Indeed I have all and abound. I am full, having received from Epaphroditus the things sent from you, a sweet-smelling aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well pleasing to God. And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:17-19).

This is pure manipulative witchcraft from a very a smooth-operator.  In a subtle but devious manner, Paul maintains when you give something to him, you are automatically giving it to God.  This makes Paul God.  The things sent to Paul were well-pleasing not to Paul, but to God.  What witchcraft!  He then says because they gave to him, his God will supply their need.  The God in question here is apparently not "our God" but Paul's personal exclusive God.  Does it mean God will not supply their need if they don't give anything to Paul?

 

Paul's robbery

Paul is unrelenting.  He continues to harass the Corinthians in another letter: "Did I commit sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge? I ROBBED OTHER CHURCHES, taking wages from them to minister to you. And when I was present with you, and in need, I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.  As the truth of Christ is in me, no one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia." (2 Corinthians 11:7-10).

The gentleman doth protest too much, methinks!  The same Paul who says he would rather die than collect money now reveals he "robs" others of their money.  So the problem with the Corinthians is that, in spite of his arm-twisting, they have not given Paul money.  But Paul refuses to be denied.  He says deceptively: "For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong! (2 Corinthians 12:13).

Haba!  To what lengths will this man go to extort money from these poor people?  How can they be inferior just because they refuse to give money to Paul?  He then sends a gang of "the brethren" to collect money from them willy-nilly, while insisting they must give it "cheerfully." (2 Corinthians 9: 1-6).  Nevertheless, he continues to deny his actions: "What I want is not your possessions but you." (2 Corinthians 12:14).

Hold on to your wallets and purses boys and girls.  Pastor Paul and his minions are after your money.  They are full of trickery.  Before you know it, you will be out of pocket.

Leave Tonto Dike, Go After Drug Barons – HURIWA Tells NDLEA

A non-governmental organization, Human Rights Writers' Association of Nigeria, (HURIWA) has reacted to the controversy trailing an alleged marijuana picture posted online by popular actress, Tonto Dike.

The actress had posted the picture on the social media, an act which drew the attention of the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

Its spokesman Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, in his reaction had said that "The law is clear and NDLEA has been very clear on the issue. No one is permitted to sell, use, cultivate or encourage the use of Indian hemp in Nigeria. The substance is one of the banned narcotics in the country."


In a statement jointly issued by the National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko and National media Director, Miss. Zainab Yusuf, HURIWA said the anti-drug agency was "chasing shadows by threatening to arrest a Nigerian citizen whose alleged 'marijuana photograph' does not constitute hard core judicial evidence but rather a social media contraption that may never stand credibility test in the competent court of law."

HURIWA urged NDLEA not to waste taxpayers' fund in pursuing a matter that is substantially irrelevant and lacks proof.

The Rights group tasked the agency to instead extend its dragnet and arrest high profile drug barons and peddlers rather than engage in 'meaningless voyage of discovery' and 'attention seeking' in the media which the Rights group described as 'witch- hunting' and an elaborate attempt to undermine the fundamental freedoms of the actress- Miss Tonto Dike who is now being framed up with a trumped up charge of posting 'marijuana photograph' on the social media.

It advised the NDLEA to concentrate on how to repair its public image damaged by the costly mistake it made during the arrest, detention and investigation of the popular Yoruba comedian Baba Suwe (the popular expensive faecis/excreta gamble by the NDLEA)."

46 YEAR Old Cripple Says Women Love Me Because "HE" Satisfy Them "Sexually"

Pedro Ken Ogbebor, alias New Yorker is a 46 year-old cripple, residing by the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium Benin City. He is one person that his disability had never hindered from embarking on any mission he sets his mind too. Although he has not been to America, his American accent gave him the name, New Yorker. Even as a cripple, he is popular and loved by many including women. Vanguard spoke with this father of three whose wife abandoned few months ago on why he is a fan of beautiful ladies despite his disability. This encounter was quite revealing:

Since your wife left, how have you been coping with women because I found out you have a lot of female friends and people also claim you use charms to seduce beautiful ladies?

The truth is that staying with women gives joy though some people view it differently. I feel good when I am with a woman. If you can satisfy a woman, you don't have a problem. It is not all about money. Women like men who satisfy them. And I think I am good in that. I don't have money to spend on a woman but I have my own way of satisfying them. Women always love me even though I am a cripple. They don't care. Women love bold men, people who can protect them and not really money. More after the jump:

It is only the greedy ones that are after money. But real women search for satisfaction. No woman has ever rejected me. You can see that I am a fine boy. There was a day a white girl walking along Airport road followed me till I got home. She gave me her numbers that she wanted to be my friend. So women admire me a lot despite my condition. I don't use charms on anybody. It is all lies. You know some people would fail in getting a woman but when I succeeded, they would go about talking rubbish. I have never charmed any woman.

Let me tell you, I go to club, I party with friends and that created the impression that I may be a bad guy but I am not. People said I used charms to catch women because they noticed that any girl I talked to would always follow me. But when they now understood the kind of person I am, they no longer think that way. I don't use charms on women at all. They love me naturally because I am gifted.

Again, I have never been involved in crime although I am aware there are disabled persons who get involved in crime. I have never been to a police station. I am even better than some people who walk with two legs because I don't involve myself in anything I know is illegal. If I know that you are a criminal, I won't even come close to you. I only want to do things that will give people joy, which will make people help me and not what will make people hate me. God has always been good to me.

Paul Okoye Accepts Baby With 19 Year Old Beauty Queen, Elshama?

In May, we all heard that Paul Okoye, the other half of singing sensation P-Square, had welcomed a baby with 19 year old MBGN 2012 contestant, Elshama Igbanoi. 

Paul Okoye has never reacted to the story in the press...to either confirm or deny that he is indeed the little boy's father. The boy was born April 7th in the UK, four days before Paul and his girlfriend Anita welcomed their son, Andre, in Atlanta.

Paul at the time told the Igbanoi family that he's going to do a DNA test to ascertain paternity. Maybe he's done it because he has officially acknowledged the boy as his.

Wizkid Blames Fraudsters For Controversial Performance Contract! (READ)

Barely two weeks after some students of University of Lagos were said to have accused hip hop singer, Wizkid, of breaching a contract to perform in the institution, his album label, EME, has given indications that some impostors had struck the deal with the students.

This is contained in a statement released through Lagos-based media organisation, BHM, noting that Wizkid has "spoken out against his continuous impersonation by fraudsters."

The culprits are said to have been nabbed by law enforcement agents.
But the award-winning artiste, bugged by increasing complaints and reported incidents, says he is worried that some fraudsters would go to any length to defraud fans.

The statement  said the artiste spoke in Lagos on July 2, while reacting to on-going investigations on what it calls recent discoveries and arrests.

Wizkid, who had said on Twitter that he did not engage in cheap musical engagements, obviously referring to the N500,000 fee the students were said to have paid,  was quoted as saying, "It's unfair that fraudsters will take advantage of unsuspecting victims.The culprit has been apprehended and all is being done to make sure such incidents don't reoccur."

EME Chairman Banky W, also said to have been a victim of impersonation, says the label is putting all structures in place, while working with relevant authorities to make sure the trend is put to a stop.

Tips On How To Men Become More Attractive To Women (REA)

When it comes to dating, the odds are often stacked against you. Luckily, there's a lot you can do to even them and give yourself an edge. Be proactive and follow these 10 steps to make yourself more attractive to women.

 1. Be a Gentleman
Make no mistake – it's still important to be a gentleman. Chivalry is not dead; it's just on life support, with a few broken ribs and a bruised ego. But if you want to stand out to women and gain a good reputation in the process, there's no better way than by being a gentleman.

2. Get a Girl Interested in You
Unfortunately, it takes more than a little manscaping and a lack of man boobs to pique a girl's interest. Think of those things as a way to get in the door. If you really want to seal the deal and get her number, you're going to need to impress, and that involves being funny. Leave the "knock, knock" jokes behind.

3. Learn to Read Her Signals
We are animals, and even though we've evolved to use complex language to express ourselves, we still communicate non-verbally. In fact, it's easy to tell a lie with your words; it's much harder to make your body language lie. Learn to read her signals to know when she's interested (and when she isn't), and you'll have a much easier time navigating the dating world.

4. Use Food to Increase Your Libido
Your diet is important, and not just because it impacts your waist size. Eating the right foods can improve your sexual health and give you back the libido you had when you were a teenager. And if that's not a reason to ditch the fast food and start preparing your own meals, you need more help than we can give you.

5. The Art of Saying 'No'
A real man doesn't need to bend over backward to please everyone. He values his time and prioritizes accordingly. Inevitably, that means saying no – to dates, job offers, work requests, whatever. The thing is, most men suck at this. They hem and haw, they break out in a cold sweat, but when push comes to shove, they fold like a lawn chair and put someone else's needs ahead of their own. Stop it! Stop it right now!

6. Don't Be Creepy
In all fairness, most men are not creepy, and most of the men who get labeled "creepy" are just not very good at approaching women. See a girl running alone at night with headphones on? Don't run up behind her and tap her on the shoulder.

7. Manscape
What you do with your pubic hair is between you and god, but manscaping isn't limited to your nether regions. Unsightly hairs on your back, shoulders, stomach and neck should be waxed off without second thoughts.

8. Dress for Your Body Type
Another no-brainer. Dressing for your body type doesn't just mean wearing clothes that fit — although that's a good place to start. It also means accentuating your positive attributes and taking the focus away from your negative ones

9. Take Care of Your Skin
For a minimal investment of time and money, you can have your skin looking better than ever — smooth, blemish-free and moisturized. What excuse do you have? Taking care of the basics is the first step in looking more attractive.

10. Lose Your Man Boobs
This really needs no explanation. Man boobs are the source of men's greatest body insecurity, and getting rid of them can be tricky.

Bone Marrow Transplants: We have the cure for HIV - US researchers

-->

According to research released on Wednesday, two HIV-infected men who also suffered from cancer, underwent bone marrow transplant to treat their blood cancers and shockingly show no sign of the HIV virus after the transplant. They have stopped taking their anti­retroviral drugs and still show no sign of the virus. The reserachers confirmed that the patience stopped taking their antiretroviral therapy 15 weeks ago as of Wednesday and the other, seven weeks ago.


The virus came back in two to four weeks In patients who stop taking medication. The researchers were very excited about it, but said they do not indicate that the men have been “cured” as they should be followed-up for at least one year to understand the full impact.

AIDS experts said the findings are important because they give hope that the HIV virus can be eradicated. They also 'stressed' that the public shouldn’t misinterpret this new discovery as a proper “cure” for HIV.

Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases at the National Institutes of Health, said in an interview;

“The thing that needs to be figured out is how you can do it without putting the patient through such a risky experience. Whether that’s possible, we don’t know.
The Boston patients had 'very serious complications' and needed 'very dramatic' treatment. That included chemotherapy, followed by treatment to suppress the body’s immune system before performing a stem cell transplant. Such intense and risky treatments simply wouldn’t make sense for most HIV patients. The current therapy — usually one pill a day that combines three antiretroviral drugs — is still considered the most effective treatment, as long as patients take their medication daily.

Avoid Kidney Problem, Urinate After Sex (MUST READ)

It is gradually becoming norm these
days to have programmes interrupted for a few minutes, for purposes of funds' solicitation. Nigerians are now familiar with gaunt figures lying critically sick on the bed and plugged to dialysis machine begging for donations from
government and kind-hearted members of public.

The solicited funds usually run into millions of naira to cover the cost of temporary dialysisin Nigeria and subsequent organ transplantation overseas. The latest of such is
the music producer, OJB Jezreel, who says he needs about N16m to treat his kidney disease.

Physicians say when it comes to size, the kidneys are small. However, as Kidney Specialist, Dr. Mumeen Amisu opines, "The kidneys may be small, but they perform many vital functions that help maintain your overall health, including filtering waste and excess fluids from your blood."

Kidneys can be injured when an individual has an accident that results in blood loss, physicians say.
Experts also say that acute kidney injury can result from pregnancy complications, such as seizures (eclampsia) and pre-eclampsia (characterised by high blood pressure and significant amounts of protein in the urine).

Another pregnancy complications that can lead to kidney injury is the HELLP Syndrome — a life-threatening liver disorder characterised by destruction of red blood cells (Hemolysis), Elevated Liver enzymes (indicating liver damage), and Low Platelet count. Low platelet count reduces the ability of the blood to clot whenever there's an injury. And if you are a marathon runner or an athlete who don't drink enough fluids while competing in long-distance endurance events, you risk
acute renal (kidney) failure that may result from a sudden breakdown of muscle tissue.

"This muscle breakdown releases a chemical called myoglobin that can damage the kidneys,"George says.
And women need to hear this: Multiple urinary tract infections can also damage the kidneys! Pregnant and menopausal women are very
susceptible to UTI, physicians warn.
They advise that to prevent it, women should drink lots of water every day, and urinate often
instead of holding it. They are also advised to urinate right after having s*x.

Megan Goods responds to cleavage-baring, low-cut dress backlash

Stunning Hollywood actress Megan Good is married to Seventh Day Adventist preacher, Devon Franklin, so people were kinda surprised by what she wore to the BET Awards this past Sunday - a cleavage baring, extremely low cut gown. The actress has been catching heat since the outing from those who believe it's an inappropriate dress for a preacher's wife to wear.

Megan took to social media to respond to the backlash.
