Apostle Suleman Prophesied US President Trump Would Recognize Jerusalem As Israel’s Capital City +His Other Fulfilled Prophecies reviewed.

There are a number of Nigerian pastors that release prophecies for
the year, especially when the New Year comes around. One of these
men of God is Apostle (Prof.) Johnson Suleman, the President of
Omega Fire Ministries worldwide (OFM). In his December 2016
prophecies, the cleric who is fondly addressed as ‘Oracle of God’
reeled out 50 prophetic messages of which a substantial number have
been fulfilled.
Some of these 2016 prophecies, which can always be verified on the
internet and the local print media because of the widespread publicity
they enjoyed, soon became conspicuous given their relevance to
national and international affairs.
Number 50 on the list is where Apostle Suleman warned that “Two
times, Nigeria’s vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, will face removal from
office. They will alienate him and they will make attempts to remove
him. But God will humble Buhari in 2017. On number 24, Suleman
told the world ahead that God says ” (American President) Donald
Trump to favour Israel. American Embassy in Israel to be moved to
Jerusalem. No prophecy from any other man of God has been more
categorical.
Presented below in their alphabetical order are details of other
fulfilled prophecies by Apostle Suleman in the 2016 releases.
1. I see terrorism on the increase.
2. Federal Government of Nigeria should not relax yet on Book
Haram. It’s a deception.
4.America and China to have major faceoff.
5. Crude Oil to flow in Northern Nigeria.
6. Abuja to experience major Fire explosion.
7.Donald Trump to face impeachment attempt as members of Congress
will be divided on his style of leadership.
8. I see an airplane that has Nigeria’s logo (National Carrier)
*Nigeria is planning with Boeing on a new national carrier.

Buhari) *There was a report that the First Lady was labelled ‘a
terrorist from Adamawa’.
22.I saw huge number of Chibok girls released; some of them with
kids.
25. Liberian election: CONTINUITY.
29. I see killings in Ekiti
31. I see kidnappers entering schools.
Prophecy fulfilled; Lagos school come to mind
37. A serving Cabinet Minister in Nigeria will die
43. France, Spain, Russia to pray against train going off the rail.
45. Nollywood to pray. They will get help but will lose two major
people. The Yoruba movie industry too but prayer can avert it.
48. Edo state; major celebration but pray against road crashes.
49. I see presidents being removed in Africa, I see presidents being
installed.

PENGASSAN suspends its strike action

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria
(PENGASSAN) has suspended its strike action which started today,
December 18th. The suspension of the strike was contained in a
press statement released by the General Secretary of the union,
Lumumba Okugbawa.
The oil union had issued a seven-day ultimatum to the government,
following allegations of the anti-union attitude of some companies,
as well as the intimidation and dismissal of some of its members.
Okungbawa said the union suspended the industrial action after the
intervention of the Federal Government and the reversal of the
decision by the companies.
Read the full statement below;
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of
Nigeria (PENGASSAN) issued a seven (7) day ultimatum
which expired on Sunday, December 17, 2017, with respect
to anti-union posture of indigenous companies and marginal
field operators, including Neconde which transferred
employees at will and inconsiderably, sacked and intimidated
union members.
Despite all entreaties by the association, the management
of Neconde was recalcitrant and adamant. As a matter of
fact, the union directed its members across zones to
embark on a nationwide strike.
Going by the aforementioned, the Honorable Minister of
Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, engaged both the
leadership of PENGASSAN and the Neconde management.
The Honorable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources,
Dr Ibe Kachikwu, representatives of the NNPC, and
representatives of other government agencies were also in
attendance.
Neconde management agreed to unconditionally recall the
sacked staff and take steps to allow their employees to be
members of the union.
It was also agreed at the meeting that the resolutions
reached will be reviewed after three months to determine
the adherence of Neconde management to the details of the
resolution.
The meeting also resolved to address the anti-union posture
of other indigenous companies and their abuse of court
processes to stall the resolution of issues, including
Specialty Drilling Fluid (SDF), CETCO, Century Energy, Oil
Data Services, Frontier Oil, Universal Energy, Mobil
Producing Nigeria and Fugro by the third week of January
2018, to avert a full-blown industrial crisis and ensure that
they abide by the Nigeria Constitution, extant labour laws
and ILO conventions.
In view of the above and in the spirit of the yuletide, on
behalf of the National Executive Council (NEC) of
PENGASSAN, the Central Working Committee (CWC) hereby
suspends the nationwide strike with immediate effect and
all members are to resume normal duties immediately.
We commend Nigerians for their understanding and continue
to promise to act in a morally justified way that will
enhance the dignity of labour and reduce unemployment in
the country.

Appeal Court sacks Kogi East Senator

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has sacked Senator Attai Aidoko,
representing Kogi East Senatorial District tin the Nigerian senate.
The court, in a judgment by a three-man panel led by Justice Abdu
Aboki, reversed its earlier decision of December 14, 2016 on which
basis Aidoko assumed office.
The appellate court held that its earlier judgment which nullified ex-
Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshall Isaac Alfa’s election and installed
Aidoko was given in error and said that the Kogi East Senatorial
seat now remains vacant until the Federal High Court in Abuja
determines the true candidate of the People’s Democratic Party
(PDP) for the election held on July 24, 2016.
According the Nation, Alfa had challenged the Appeal Court ‘s
decision of December 14th 2016 at the Supreme Court, which
ordered that the suit over the dispute about the actual candidate of
the party be heard on the merit by the trial court.
While the Federal High Court, Abuja was yet to give its verdict on
the case before it, Aidoko filed an application at the Appeal Court,
seeking an interpretation of the judgement of the Supreme Court
and determine the eligible candidate to the seat.
The judgment of the Court of Appeal Monday was on the application
by Aidoko.
Justice Aboki, in the lead judgment, said the judgment of December
14, 2016 was in error, he reversed it and ordered Aidoko to vacate
the seat, pending the determination of issue of candidacy at the
court of first instance. The court ordered that the sum of N1
millon be paid by Aidoko to Mr Isaac Alfa whom the court held to
be the lawfully nominated candidate of the PDP.

Appeal court upholds 19-year jail term of Samuel Owoleye, an Ex-Union Bank Branch Manager

The Kaduna Division of the Court of Appeal on Monday, December
18, upheld the judgment of the Kano State High Court which
convicted and sentenced a former bank manager, Samuel Owoleye, to
19 years' imprisonment sometime in 2012.
Owoyele, a manager at the Union Bank Branch, Bank Road, Kano
was prosecuted by the commission for offenses bordering on
Obtaining by False Pretence.
On the 20th day of June, 2012, the Kano State High Court
presided over by Justice Dije Abdu Aboki found the accused person
guilty on the three count charge that was preferred against him and
convicted him accordingly.
The appellant was subsequently sentenced to 10 years imprisonment
on count one, and 7 years imprisonment on count 2 without option
of fine. However, on count three, he was sentenced to 2 years
imprisonment with option of N300,000 fine. While the sentence in
count one and two were to run concurrently, the appellant was to
serve consecutive sentence in count three.
Trouble started for Owoyele on when the commission received a
petition from one Ashiru Munzali Gambo that the convict obtained
the sum N27million under the pretext that he had $185,000 to
sell to him.

Even when no one else believes in me, you would say "he is
special, leave him, God is with him".

for me.
Many more happy years for you mum.



Daughter Plans To Eat Her Mum On Christmas Day By Adding Her Ashes On Her Food

A grieving 41-year-old lady identified as Debra Parsons, will have
her mum, Doreen, for Christmas dinner this year – by scattering her
ashes on the turkey then tucking in.
.
.
And for dessert she’ll enjoy Christmas Pud…with a dusting of her
mum’s last remains too. Debra has felt the urge to EAT
Doreen’s ashes since she died in May and has had a small
spoonful most days to feel “as close as possible” to her.
.
.
But as she faces Christmas without her, the craving has become
even stronger. “It is the only thing that will get me through my
first Christmas without mum,” said Debra.

Stop! Don't Buy That HND Form!



If you are not self employed already and would be seeking for
employment after your program, please I beg you in the name of
whatever you worship, don't buy that HND form.
Don't make that mistake. Buy Direct Entry form or buy UTME form to
start afresh at a conventional University. You also have the
opportunity of approaching any Open University study center close to
you and explore the opportunities therein available. All of these would
eventually make you get a University degree. Worry less about the
number of years and fund involved. Please don't buy that HND form.


Don't be fooled by those who will tell you that you can always proof
your worth on the field. See, the truth is that you may not even be
given the opportunity to proof anything at all. A large percentage of
Nigerian employers including the government worship certificates and
there isn't any traces that they might change any soon.


Take for instance, Ogun government commenced the sale of ASCON
forms for the employment into the civil service of the state and HND
holders are barred from partaking in the exercise. Even if you make
it to the civil service through other avenues, there's is a level
beyond which you can't rise because of your HND background. Why
would you want to be subjected to such ridicule? Don't buy that
form!


You may also be thinking of doing PGD, Masters and PhD later on.
Well some universities wouldn't let you pass the Masters stage. LASU
for Instance specifically stated that MED holders with HND and PGDE
background are not eligible to apply for PhD. You see, the
discrimination is huge and you wouldn't like it later on. Please drop
the idea of the HND form.
What I don't understand is why the government and others in charge
of our education have not scrapped these Polytechnics. Why would
they allow them to churn out products that are not accorded the
right respect in the society? Scrap the Polytechnics or at best stop
them from awarding HND Certificates forthwith
Don't get carried away with the fact that HND holders are also called
graduates and are allowed to partake in the NYSC scheme. See, the
euphoria of their 'graduates' status expires with NYSC. If you doubt
me, try to pick up a masters form with your HND after your NYSC.
The discrimination is huge and you wouldn't like it.
Whilst it is true that some HND holders are doing very very well in
their various fields, their percentage is also very very small compared
to those battling with the ridiculous discrimination both in public and
private establishments. Why would you therefore allow yourself
experience such mockery after spending five years pursuing the
certificate. (2 years for ND, 1 year for IT and another 2 years for
the HND)
It is good to be educated but please be educated properly at least In
Nigeria's context. This is because the most ridiculed certificate in
Nigeria now is the HND Certificate.
Again, if you don't have a business of your own and would be seeking
employment later on, don't buy that HND form. My two cents.

"Why I Intentionally Wore The Hijab To Bar Ceremony" – The Muslim Law Graduate «



AMASA Firdaus, a Muslim faithful who graduated from Nigerian Law
School (NLS) and was refused her call to bar for failing to remove
her hijab, has said her defiance was to challenge the status quo.
Firdaus, made her stance known in a chat with Premium Times.
She described the actions of the Nigerian law school as "a violation
of her rights".
She is a graduate of University of Ilorin (UNILORIN).
She has since been cautioned by the Muslim Students Society of
Nigeria not to speak on the controversial issue again.
She also said having studied law for years there was no where the
law prevented female Muslim lawyers from wearing hijabs.
Asked what motivated her to take the decision, she explained that
she wanted to change the narrative and give Muslim sisters the
rights to express their constitutional rights as enshrined in the
constitution.
“My major concern is the approval of Hijab so that every person
coming behind me will be able to use it for the call to bar
(ceremony).
“My demand is that Hijab should be approved.”
“They just call it convention that the British gave to us and we
have to stick to it. I used them. They complained (during) my first
(law) dinner. That is how they do on the campus. You don’t wear
hijab for dinner but I did. I chose Abuja because I knew they were
a little lenient," she reportedly said.
Asked why she did not wait to be called to bar before embarking
on the campaign, she said those who removed their hijabs in the
past did nothing to change the situation.
“People have been removing their hijab over the years. What have
those people who have removed it done?”
She thanked the Muslim community saying their support for her
demand has been impressive.
Already, the Muslim Students Society of Nigeria has said it would
write the presidency over Firdaus’ inability to attend the call to
bar ceremony.
The national leader of the MSSN, Jameel Muhammad, described the
restriction on the use of hijab as “Islamophobia.”
He said if the issue was not resolved by the presidency and
national assembly, the society would resort to legal action.
“Then we might have to approach the court of the law. Already
our lawyers have taken her brief,” he said.
However, the President of the Nigerian Bar Association, AB
Mahmoud, said the controversy surrounding Firdaus’ use of hijab
was needless.
Mahmoud posted a picture of his daughter in hijab on the day she
was called to the New York bar.
He said the issue would be addressed.
The incident, took place at the International Conference Centre,
Abuja, on Friday.
The case has attracted significant attention on social media, with
Nigerians divided on her decision and that of the authorities of the
law school.
While some are in support of her decision in respect of
constitutional right to freedom of religion, others condemn her
action, insisting that law school is no respecter of religion,
therefore laws should be obeyed.

Photos: Department of Public Prosecution takes over case of 2-year-old boy maltreated by his father and stepmother in Edo








The Department of Public Prosecution (DPP) has taken over the
case of 2-year-old boy allegedly maltreated by his father and
stepmother in Benin City, Edo State.

Happy and the step mother Mrs. Alice Pius were latter
arrested with the help of Amagba Community leaders and
charged to court.
The case between the Commissioner of Police and
Defendant, Mr. Pius Happy and his wife, Mrs Alice Pius
upon appearance in court was latter taken over by the
Department of Public Prosecution (DPP) represented by
Barr. Adekunbi commenting on reasons why the DPP decided
to take over the case.
The new prosecution counsel, Barr. Adekunbi said: "the
matter is of public interest hence, the need for the
Ministry of Justice to take over and ensure justice for the
little baby who is less than three years".
The defence counsel who is a party to the suit however,
declined interview.
The little Lucky Pius less than three years old was latter
taken to his new home by officials of the Ministry of
Women Affairs and Social Development who are in-charge of
the custody of the little boy.
The matter was adjourned to 16th of January, 2018, after
counsel of the parties in the suit took a new date.

FIFA Club World Cup Ronaldo retains title for Real Madrid

Cup.
A third Club World Cup in four years brings Madrid level with rivals
Barcelona as the most successful side in the competition's history and
adds to the La Liga , Champions League , UEFA Super Cup and Spanish
Super Cup titles already won by Zinedine Zidane 's men this year.
Ronaldo was once again Real's man for the big occasion as his strike
went through the Gremio wall eight minutes after the break to ensure
the European club champions were also crowned world champions for a
fifth straight year.
"We wanted to win because Real Madrid have never won five trophies
in one year ," said Ronaldo.
"I think we played a very good game and deserved to win."
Ronaldo has now scored 15 goals in 20 appearances for Madrid this
season despite a slow start in La Liga.
"The numbers speak for themselves," added the Portuguese. "I give
my answers on the pitch. The team were phenomenal and it is
another trophy for the CV ."
Gareth Bale was left on the bench despite scoring with his first
touch as a substitute against Al Jazira on Wednesday to book
Madrid's place in the final, as Zinedine Zidane kept faith with the
same side that started Real's Champions League final triumph over
Juventus back in June.
Gremio booked their ricket to Abu Dhabi by winning the Copa
Libertadores for the third time last month and Madrid knew they
weren't in for a comfortable evening just two minutes in when Gremio
captain Pedro Geromel raked his studs down the back of Ronaldo's calf
without any punishment from Mexican referee Cesar Ramos .
Ronaldo, though, confirmed he will be fit for next weekend's Clasico
against Barcelona.


Stubborn opposition

Madrid dominated possession but, unlike in their profligate semi-final
performance, found clear-cut chances hard to come by against the
well-organised Gremio defence.
Luka Modric came closest to breaking the deadlock in the first half
with a left-footed shot from the edge of the box that flew inches
wide of the far post.
Ronaldo also hammered a long-range free-kick that dipped onto the
roof of the net, whilst Edilson gave Keylor Navas a similar scare at
the other end with a free-kick from range.
Gremio pleaded for the referee to consult with the video assistant
referee (VAR) when Sergio Ramos clipped Ramiro inside the area early
in the second period.
However, those claims fell on deaf ears and Madrid instantly broke up
the other end to open the scoring.
Ronaldo was tripped 25 yards from goal and the world player of the
year's resulting free-kick sneaked through a gap in the Gremio wall
to skip into the bottom corner.
Gremio were handed a lifeline when Ronaldo had the ball in the net
again just before the hour mark, but Karim Benzema was flagged for
being marginally offside in the build-up.
Marcelo Grohe then turned another Modric drive onto the post and
made great stops from Ronaldo and Bale in the final 10 minutes to
keep Gremio in the game.
However, the Brazilians failed to register a single shot on target as
Madrid comfortably held out to seal their most successful ever year
with a fifth trophy.
Earlier, Mexican side Pachuca beat hosts Al Jazira 4-1 in the third-
place play-off.

De Bruyne is my Man City blueprint - Guardiola

 Guardiola said Kevin De Bruyne incarnated Manchester City's
future after the Belgian's sublime display inspired his side to an
emphatic 4-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.


De Bruyne smashed in City's second goal on Saturday and had a hand
in their third, scored by Raheem Sterling, who went on to complete a
brace as City registered a record-extending 16th successive Premier
League win.


De Bruyne's hurtful passing repeatedly tore holes in the Spurs
defence and Guardiola said that ability on the ball, allied to his
exemplary work-rate, made him a figurehead for the club's young
players.


"Kevin is one of the most talented players and you see how he runs
without the ball," said the City manager.
"You cannot imagine how good he plays with the ball, but he runs
like a player in the Conference (semi-professional) league.
"It's a good example for the young players, for our academy, for Phil
Foden, for Brahim (Diaz). They know how good Kevin De Bruyne is.
And when they see how he runs and he fights without the ball, that
is the best example.
"He helps us to be a better club, a better institution for the future.
Because that is what we want to do. His performance today, I have
no words."
The one-sided win at a misty Etihad Stadium gave City a provisional
14-point lead at the top of the table, ahead of second-place
Manchester United's trip to West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.


Guardiola has matched his best winning run with Barcelona from their
all-conquering 2010-11 season and stands three wins short of his
own record for Europe's five major leagues, which he set at Bayern
Munich in 2013-14.

"Of course I'm proud," said Guardiola.
"I don't want to be humble right now. I'm proud with my staff to
achieve that with three teams, every day being there. We work a lot
and the players know that.
"And of course that's happened because I was with three amazing
clubs: Barcelona, Bayern Munich and this one. All three clubs
supported me, all the decisions we believe in and they provide me
with outstanding players.
"Without good players and the club supporting your ideas, it's
impossible to achieve this kind of thing."
Hotheaded Alli
Ilkay Gundogan put City ahead in the 14th minute, ghosting in
unmarked to head Leroy Sane's corner past Hugo Lloris.
After Spurs rallied in the second half, De Bruyne carried the game
beyond them, rifling home a left-foot shot in the 70th minute and
sparking the move that culminated in Sane teeing up Sterling for a
tap-in.
Sterling added another, smuggling his way past Lloris and walking the
ball in, before Christian Eriksen claimed a stoppage-time consolation.
De Bruyne's goal -- his seventh of the season -- occurred moments
after he had been left in a heap by an ugly ankle-high challenge
from Dele Alli, who escaped with only a booking.
Harry Kane, too, was shown only a yellow card for an untidy foul on
Sterling, but although Guardiola felt both tackles were "dangerous", he
refused to criticise referee Craig Pawson.
Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino was reluctant to discuss the
hotheaded Alli and instead urged his team to take inspiration from
City's display.
"Look, I'm not going to talk about individual names today because it's
not fair," said the Argentinian, whose team slipped from fourth to
seventh.
"The most important thing is our collective performance wasn't how
we expect and I think we were poor. Not only poor -- the way we
conceded the first goal was a massive mistake for us.
"When you play against teams like Manchester City, if you concede a
goal like this after 15 minutes, come on. We can't assess individual
performances.
"We need to learn from this situation. Today was a very good
example of a team that believe, that have quality and is in very
good form. They deserved the victory completely."

11 Signs Your Life Is Centered Around Your Boyfriend And It Is Sickening

Have you ever been around a girl who breathes and lives because of
her boyfriend?
Well, I have and it is sickening, some may say that it is because I
was jealous but the wise ones would know that people who have their
own lives are worth respecting. She could be your best friend, sister
or any female companion in your life and every time she get’s into
a relationship she acts as if she was born with this guy. Like they
shared a womb (which would be disgusting) but honestly, she is
annoying in every way because her life is centered around the love of
her life. Here are signs that your life is centered around your
boyfriend and it is sickening.
1. You have to text and call him all the time even when he
doesn’t respond.
I mean, don’t you have other people you can use your airtime on.
Call him all you want when you’re alone that doesn’t affect the
rest of us but please with all due respect when you’re around
people spend time with them and call your boyfriend later

2. Every activity you do you must give an example of how he does
it.
No one else cares sweety and if he is so good then maybe you
should stick to doing it with him only. Praising your other half every
once in a while is okay but every time is irritating.

3. You can’t confirm meeting your family or friends because you
need to know when you two will meet first.
Surely, why did your friends and family become second class citizens.
They were there before this man and if he leaves you, you will need
them to listen to your problems

4. You stopped having your own hobbies and took his instead.
All of a sudden you like football, like going fishing and you almost
like beer. Please give us a break and bring the person we knew back.

5. Your social media is just of him and you yet he never even posts
you.
Surely, why must your social media be flooded with pictures of you
and your boyfriend? Then when we go stalk him he has photos of him
golfing, swimming and hanging out with the boys. You need to style
up.

6. You’re always at his place cooking and cleaning after him.
Yet you left your house or your mother’s looking like garbage.Shame
on you.


7. You cannot make future goals or plans without thinking about him
and you’re not even married.
How sure are you he will be there? And if he will be why can’t
you still have your own dreams and hopes? You wanted to do
something really important to your life but now two months into
dating this guy you start telling us I can’t do this I can't do that
because of him.

8. You don’t have any friends anymore because he is enough as a
friend.
Yeah you ditched your friends until the time you have issues then
you run to them and they are not interested. Please do not be
alarmed if we are no longer interested

9. You obsessively think about him every second and analyze his
every move.

10. He has at least once or twice asked you if you have other
hobbies apart from him.
This is because he is tired of you crowding his space and he is giving
you the hint, like we need space kind of hint.

11. If he is not around you’re sad and won’t have any plans.
You can’t think of anyone to hang out with or have any plans if it
is not with him. It’s just a travesty, it really is

'My Leukemia is in remission and the prostrate cancer is not spreading' Sadiq Daba gives cheerful update of his health status









Veteran broadcaster, Sadiq Daba, who recently departed Nigeria to
treat Leukemia and Prostrate cancer, has given a cheerful update
on his health status. He spoke with US-based Nigerian journalist,
Azuka Jebose, who he told that the Leukemia is currently in
remission while the prostrate cancer is not spreading, this is
contrary to what Nigerian doctors told him that the disease had
spread to other organs. Azuka quotes Sadiq as saying that he will
soon be returning to Nigeria. Read what Azuka wrote on his
Facebook page this afternoon.
''SADIQ DABA: GREATEST NEWS
(UPDATE)
"Azuka, morning o! ( well, it's morning here in London), how you
dey my brother? Before I start with you, please help me tell
Nigerians that I am profoundly grateful for giving me hope to live
again. Nigerians saved my life: my family and I remain eternally
grateful.
Done with the Doctors this week. All the test results for my
prostate cancer did not find spread. I was told in Nigeria that it
had spread to other organs of my body. But all tests here by
Specialists came back negative, with regards to the spread. It can
be treated with drugs and injections. Also, the doctors, after tests
for Leukemia, concluded that it is in remission. The Specialists
placed me on drugs to help with the remission. I will see an
oncologist on Monday; no need for an operation(surgery) to open me
up. In Nigeria, I was told I needed surgery. My brother na wa o. I
am feeling like a sweepstakes winner. These treatments are very
expensive sha. Where I for get the money?. Na God send you, Soni
Irabor, DrJoe Okei Odumakin and compassionate Nigerians to me o.
Doctors placed me, effective immediately, on hormone treatments;
Azuka, can you believe that?: no spread found....your prayers
WORKED!!! Will be here for another two weeks for observation and
then head home to recuperate!!!!. Azuka, I feel spectacular. Shebi
you hear my voice. God Bless Nigerians for this gift of life. Abeg
help me thank them. I will live. My wife has been dancing nonestop
o. I go call you again on Monday".
"Sadiq my brother, the power of the people is the power of God.
Continue to lively up your health. Monday is moments away. We
wait, excitedly."'

Former wheelbarrow pusher gets N15million record deal















.Chuvano @official_chuvano is a young musical talent from the
Southern part of Nigeria who recently shared a touching story of
how he completed his University education by secretly travelling out
of campus on weekends to earn a living at distant markets, through
wheelbarrow pushing.
This story got so many people very emotional and finally earned the
young lad a multi million naira record contract with a South African
and Nigerian based Record label. @handsum_recordz (Handsum
Recordz)
Further chats with Chuvano revealed that, he was discovered at a
roadside show where he performed a tune that caught the attention
of the CEO of "HANDSUM RECORDZ" who was lodged at a nearby
hotel.
Besides his great and amazing talent, the story of how the young
boy had gone through his University education on stipends realized
from his secret job of pushing people's items around markets in
rented wheelbarrows, was also a major reason why he was offered
the multi million record Deal.
The label has also revealed that Chuvano's first official single will
drop soonest, and he will be collaborating with some A' list arts
within the first few months of his contract.
In addition to the multi million naira record deal, is a magnificent
duplex for the super comfort of the former wheelbarrow pusher.


Once a wheelbarrow pusher is now a millionaire musician.

Double Christmas cheer for young couple who welcomed two babies in 2017 just 11 months apart





A young couple welcomed two babies in the same year. Both babies
were born in 2017 just 11 months apart.
Mum Beth Evans, 21, gave birth to her first child, Haydn, on
January 7. Then on December 8, she gave birth to a baby girl Tilly.
Tilly should have ben born in 2018 but she arrived four weeks
early.
Beth and her fiancé Liam Hale, 20, see the double arrival as a
blessing and are now looking forward to a doubly special Christmas
Day spent with their tiny bundles of joy.
"Christmas this year feels so special as it is my first Christmas
being a mother," said hairdresser Beth, who lives with her family in
Clydach Vale in the Rhondda Valley.
"It is also surreal seeing blue and pink 'baby’s first
Christmas' baubles on our tree. For both of their first Christmases
we will be taking it easy and will be spending a lot of time with
our family as they are both still so young."
She added: "We will have Christmas morning in our house where we
will wake up as a family of four for the first time – it’s crazy to
think that this time last year it was just me, Liam and the dog
and now this year we have two beautiful children."
It's little over a week since Tilly’s birth and Beth and Liam are
adjusting to life with two babies.
Beth said: "We wake up and I will feed and change Tilly and Liam
will feed, bath and change Haydn – or vice versa. We tend to take
turns. As for nappy changing, whoever smells the stinky nappy first
has to deal with it – however I sometimes pretend that I can’t
smell anything so Liam is often dealt the short straw!
“Haydn has a mid-day nap every day which allows us to catch up
on housework, washing, walking the dog and, unfortunately,
assignments for Liam. Tilly sleeps pretty much all of the time
because she is still so young.I am one of those very fortunate
mums who get a lot of help and support from my partner. And I
never really ask him to do much because being a father comes
naturally to him anyway."
As for more children, Beth says they don’t have any plans yet.
"At the moment there are none on the cards because we are so
happy and content with our little family. However we will never say
never as we are both still so young."

SARS Officials Brutalize Man For Refusing A Phone Check In Edo





A man was left bloodied, on Thursday, after he was hit with a gun
for refusing a phone check in Benin, Edo State.
.
.
Narrating what happened, an eyewitness wrote: “This happened on
Thursday, between 10am and 10.46am on Giwa Amu road in GRA,
Benin. These policemen wearing black T shirts (pictured), stopped a
taxi driver for driving one way.
.
.
According to the driver, he said as soon has he stopped, he
apologized to the officers and then he said they asked all the
passengers to get out of the car and they asked one of the
passengers where he works and also asked him to hand his phone
over to them, but he refused.
.
.
He was then accused of being a cultist and that was why he
didn’t want to hand his phone over. At this point they tried to
force him into another car. He again refused and he was hit with a
gun, which led to massive bleeding. .
.
Alot of us tried to know what station they were from or get a
badge number or name but all to no avail. I was lucky to have
taken this pix and also able to capture at least 2 of the officers
while the other one tried as much as he could to avoid those who
had phones with them. A good Samaritan ended up taking the guy
for treatment.”

Nigerian Army captures 220 Boko Haram Insurgents In North-East






On Friday, the Nigerian Army said its troops had captured 220 Boko
Haram insurgents in various clearance operations in the northeast
region. Col. Onyema Nwachukwu, the Deputy Director, Army Public
Relations, Operation Lafiya Dole, made the disclosure in a statement
issued in Maiduguri.
Nwachukwu said that troops captured 167 insurgents after raiding
their enclaves in Lake Chad Basin while 53 others were captured in
northern parts of Borno State. He disclosed that troops also
extricated 67 women and 173 children, who were family members of
the insurgents.
Nwachukwu said that the troops have intensified offensive to clear
remnants of the insurgents in the region, noting that the operation
has yielded positive results.
Troops of Operation Lafiya Dole have intensified offensive
on Boko Haram enclaves in the Island around Lake Chad.
The offensive which commenced about two weeks ago with
coordinated air and artillery bombardments on Boko Haram
enclaves is yielding positive results, as several insurgents
have been killed while 167 fleeing insurgents have been
captured by troops. Troops also extricated and profiled 67
women and 173 children who revealed during profiling
exercise that they are family members of the insurgents
who fled the troops’ offensive,” he said.
Nwachukwu explained that arrangements were ongoing to handover
the women and children to authorities of Internally Displaced Persons
(IDPs) camps, after completing preliminary investigations.
According to him, troops in the past two months conducted long-
range fighting patrols and ambushes. He disclosed that the troops
cleared the insurgents’ hideouts at Saada and Juwei villages in the
fringes of northern Borno. “During the operations, troops
intercepted and arrested 53 fleeing insurgents who have been
profiled and are currently helping with investigations. Fifteen
insurgents have also willingly renounced the sect and surrendered,
dismissing it as futile struggle”.
Nwachukwu further sympathised with families of troops and civilians,
who died in the encounters and the callous suicide bombing attacks
by the terrorists.

Prophet Bushiri slammed for allegedly charging congregants R25000 to sit next to him

Rich Malawian Pastor , Prophet Bushiri , has been called out by
South Africa’s Commission for the Promotion and Protection of
the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities, for
reportedly charging his members R25000 to sit next to him at a
gala dinner next week.
According to CRL chairwoman Thoko Mkhwanazi-Xaluva who
called upon those in power to intervene and people from the
hands of Pastors, the ECG FundRaising Dinner With Major 1 is to
be hosted on December 23 at the Pretoria Showgrounds, and the
General Overseer of the Enlightened Christian Gathering
(ECG) is already being divisive with it.
“We believe that every congregant should be allowed
to attend fellowship in the name of God. Your socio-
economic status should not exclude you from any
participation in any religious programme. Church should
be an equaliser and not a divider where the poor feel
marginalised.
“We have repeatedly said that until parliament,
specifically the portfolio committee on CoGTA
(Cooperative Government and Traditional Affairs),
decides what to do with our recommendations, such
problems and challenges will remain. If a Peer Review
Committee had already been set up they would be
dealing with this matter as peers of Prophet Bushiri.
“It is our belief that the greater majority of
followers spend a lot of money trying to make sure
that they are promoting the objectives of the church
concerned. Our worst fear is that some of them may
be spending money thinking that they may be buying
attention and blessings from their religious leader”
she said.
