Pastor Who Announced He Needs A Teen To Massage His Waist Because Of Persistent Pain, Got One & Raped Her

Sincerely I am tired of rape stories, really really tired of reporting them, but then people must be informed. Whatever happened to men asking women of their age out, pastor or no pastor. What ever happened to sex workers? Sincerely, rapist shouldn’t be given a second chance. I am sorry for the harsh words but the truth is they are wicked souls and should be kept somewhere far.

The pastor of Agape Baptist Church, Pastor Oprite Amakiri, 50, has been arrested and detained at the Rumuolumeni Police Division in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers state for raping an 18-year old choir member.

Yacht Party: Etcetera Writes Pastor Fatoyinbo

I am writing you today because I am a Christian myself. I am not writing this article to attack you; on the contrary, I am writing it to wake you up from sleeping in these dark hours. Jesus asked His disciples to pray, but they went to sleep instead. Believers have gone to sleep spiritually worldwide, especially in Nigeria. I want you to be awake to righteousness – (1st Corinthians 15:34 says, “Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame”). I want to help you in the spirit of meekness – Galatians 6:1.

I saw a lot of tweets and Facebook posts by Nigerians expressing their disgust about the all white yacht party you did in Dubai. What is most worrisome is that the (touch not my anointed) believers won’t tell you that you are glamorizing the ministry by putting your lavish lifestyles on display and deceiving lazy Christians that the party in Dubai is what God wants, what God can do, and what God has provided.

Only Children Wait For A Particular Day To Celebrate Love, Singer Essence Diss Valentine Celebration

Singer Essence has said Valentine’s day, February, 14^th which is widely celebrated across the world means almost nothing to her because she isn’t a child and does not believe love should be celebrated on a particular day alone. While speaking with Vanguard on how she will celebrate hers on Sunday, the singer said;

“I will be in church that day loving my God. I’m not a loving-for-one-day kind of person. Anybody that only loves me for one day doesn’t truly love me. I don’t believe in this idea of wearing Red on one day and eating lots of cake and chocolate in the name of celebrating love. I’m a grown woman; only children wait for a particular day to celebrate love.”

Olajumoke’s Unleavened Bread And The Oven Of Opportunists By Charles Novia

I have written glowingly about the Olajumoke duckling-to-swan story for a few days now on my facebook page and praised those whose hands were compelled by the benevolence of fate to change her life.

However, I’m a bit uncomfortable with the overexposure of the young lady to the media. That’s just me but from experience it may have unpleasant consequences if it it not well-managed.

I agree that she should enjoy her newfound fame within the ambits of the international attention she’s receiving presently but I can’t help thinking too that she’s walking into a treacherous terrain with much of that overexposure.

Spanish Ghost Worker Busted After He Became Eligible To Collect A Long-Service Award

A Spanish civil servant has been fined €27,000 (£21,000; $30,000) after not going to work for "at least" six years. Joaquin Garcia's absence was only noticed when he became eligible to collect a long-service award.

The 69-year-old, whose job was to supervise the building of a waste water treatment plant, has since retired. He denied the allegations and said he was a victim of bullying. A court found in the authority's favour and ordered him to pay the fine.

Mr Garcia was paid €37,000 a year before tax by a water company run by local authorities in the south-western city of Cadiz. His fine was equivalent to one year's salary after tax and was the most that the company could legally reclaim.

Ex-Priest Is Arrested In 1960 Killing Of Texas Beauty Queen

Irene Garza, 25, was working as a grade-school teacher when she was killed 56 years ago, asphyxiated, an autopsy revealed, and then dumped in an irrigation canal. She was last seen at Sacred Heart Church in McAllen, Tex., her hometown parish, where she had planned to go to confession ahead of Easter Sunday.

On Tuesday, Texas Rangers and McAllen police officers arrested the parish’s visiting priest at the time — now an octogenarian — who had been living quietly in a condominium complex here. His name is John Feit, and through the years, he has remained the sole suspect in Ms. Garza’s killing.

It has been ‘war’ in Yabatech ever since 27-year old final year student, Dazan Charity died in the school medical centre yesterday. According to her friends, Dazan was very ill but the people at the school’s medical centre asked them to go and bring N35,000.

When there was no way forward, the students had to run around to get the list of medications written for them by some of the staff at the medical centre, which includes drugs and drips. But sadly, Dazan who lost her father not too long ago and her mother lying ill in their home town passed away.

They however asked that the medical centre be eradicated or the centre be probed on why they don’t have the facilities they should. Continue...
