TB Joshua delivers two young ladies from the spirit of lesbianism.


There's a video circulating around  the internet on how two lesbian partners were delivered by the General Overseer of the Synagogue Church of All Nations, Prophet T.B Joshua.

The two young women who were having a sexual relationship together, attended Church for spiritual help. After the prayer and a word of prophecy from Prophet TB Joshua, the demonic spirit of lesbianism left them at and the romantic relationship they once had for each other was remarkably removed by the spoken words of the prophet.


While speaking to the young ladies after they were delivered and also addressing the congregation during the deliverance session, the man of God encouraged the members of the church not to discriminate or point accusing fingers against those unbelievers living in sin, but rather they should put them im their prayers so they can be delivered from the sin.

In his statement:
“God hates sin, not those committing sin. That's why when I say, ‘Do not judge so that you will not be judged’, I mean we should hate sin, not the sinners because sinners can be delivered. If you have killed a sinner by judging him, there will be no opportunity for that sinner to repent or change.
With the power of God, sinners can be delivered. We should hate the sin, not the people because our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the ‘spirit beings,against principalities and powers of the dark forces’ that are behind all these acts. “As for me, the word of God is my standard. If my parents were one, I would not have been born,i wouldn't have been in this world.
Some of you are asking this question – if your parents were one, you would not have been born into this world. All of you reading me – if your parents were one, you would not be reading this today.” – T.B. Joshua

My fiance absconded with his side chick when he found out i was 4-weeks pregnant for him - lady cries out



A lady has taken to the internet as she shares the painful experience of her fiance who abandoned her and travel out of the country with his side chick when he found out she's 4-weeks  pregnant for him.

Bisiola, as her name implies, narrated the whole saga on her Facebook account as she seeks for people's advice on how what to do.

According to her story, they've been dating for 4-years and they already have plans to tie the knot by September this year. She said plans were already on ground for the official introduction  by August this year, but as soon as Ola ( The Fiance )  heard of her pregnancy, he started putting up some strange attitude. She got to find out of his disappearance from one of his friend..

Here's her story:

Somebody please tell me this is some kind of dream because I still can't believe what my ear heard. Someone please pinch me, and tell me it's all a joke. After dating for four years, i got dumped with my 4-weeks pregnancy, not only dumping me, but he choose a side chick over me, even after the knowledge of my pregnancy, I have done nothing to deserve this.

I and my fiance were already on marriage mood, we even fixed a date for our introduction in August and the wedding in September but currently it seems none of that is going to hold because I'm left alone. Ever since i told him of the pregnancy, he started acting strange, asking me question on who is responsible for the pregnancy and also accusing me of infidelity. I tried to calm down and try to understand what was actually going on because for four years i haven't been that shocked in my relationship. He told me he is not the father of that child and that he won't be responsible for it. He said a lot of things that no one has ever said to me, he rained insults on me to the extend i had to involve my pastor to know if something went wrong spiritually. I tried to talk to him but he wasn't interested. I went to his family to inform them on what happened, they promise to talk to him, but i didn't get any feedback even after his disappearance.

All through the years we were dating, i never knew he had a side chick or a mistress somewhere, not until now. I really don't know where it all went wrong, the printing press called me to know if they should start the design on our wedding cards, I'm really confused and for me, aborting this child is not an option for me. Someone please advice me on what to do.

Indeed, humans are terrible, after hearing her ordeal, what are your word of advice to this lady??

Gorillas weren't the only animals i spent time with for my RAMPAGE research.

I do a lot of fishing and trucking here and there and these gators are some of my favorite fresh water species.
They've been romping and chomping for 37 million years.
Incredible animals... Especially the one's I'm able to calm, then I'm really able to appreciate up close. "Important legal disclaimer: If you come across a gator, don't try doing this. You'll lose a limb or something much worse. Call the Fish and Wildlife Commission of WorldStar.

So i guess we are done doing movies together.... I say this because if you're doing stupid shit like this, you're gonna die soon... Stop fucking with these wild animals man!!!!!.


Very funny, but The Rock didn't reply Kevin Hart on this one.

SEVEN IMPORTANT RULES FOR A SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP.



There's no Almighty formula for successful relationships, But these rules will keep you in the right direction. 

They're too many failed  relationships today, based on some little disagreement, few misunderstanding and a whole lots of excuses you'll hear from victims of broken relationships.

The truth is, THERE IS NO PERFECT RELATIONSHIP. All successful relationships you hear of today, were at on point close to been broken up.

Success stories in relationship didn't come from nothing, it didn't just happened, the couples where not 100% perfect, it took understanding and cooperate efforts by the couples, to make something out of it.

I've heard people give too many complains about their partner, like "he or she isn't perfect for me", we're not meant to be, and all that stuff.
Not meant to be is quite understandable, but not perfect for me isn't, because nobody is perfect for anybody. If you seek perfection before going into a relationship, you'll be single forever or you'll find yourself jumping from one relationship to another, with the same issues you had in your previous relationships.

A lady once said to me, "I've found the perfect one for me, he's everything I ever wished for", few months later, she called and said, " I don't think this will work". It won't work if y'all don't want it to work.
Cooperate efforts = successful relationship. It takes two to make one.

The question most people ask is, What can be done?.
A whole lot can be done to keep things going on fine. That's why I compiled these four (7) rules for a successful relationship. And my number one on this list is

Love
Yes, love.
Not loving the person for what they have, but for who they are. Love is the only tool that'll help your relationship stand firm in perilous times.
The beginning of most love stories are rosy and all good, but as time goes on you're definitely gonna hear side talks and all that negative stuff about your partner, some you've never heard before, be it true or false, but you shouldn't allow these talks jeopardize the love you have for your partner. Y'all have to give love to have love. Love is the number one rule.

TRUST
A relationship where there's no trust is a waste of time, you won't have peace in your relationship if there's no trust.
Love could be the heart of a relationship, but trust is the back bone.
Don't involve yourself in fishy activities that will jeopardize the trust and honesty your partner have for you.

Most trust issues in relationships comes from  (side talks) what you've heard, and if you pay too much attention to side talks, you might blame yourself in the end, especially when they're only rumors.

One sad thing about trust is that it doesn't ends when a relationship ends, even when you've moved on from a failed relationship, you're still going to have some atom of trust issues in you, based on past experiences.

The question most people ask is " if it's possible to build trust again in a relationship even after a series of questionable behavior by their partner?  The answer is yes. (Based on cooperate efforts). I won't sugar coat it, because its going to be hard but not impossible.

How can we build trust again?  Y'all need to talk. Which leads me to the third rule

TALK
to build trust again, y'all have to talk! Yes, y'all have to talk about everything.
Don't just sit there and imagine stuffs in your head.
(a) Don't ask yourself questions that you suppose to ask your partners, you can't answer for them.
(b)  Don't ask your friends questions that you're suppose to ask your partner, they'll always have something to say.
You have to ask the right questions to get the right answers.
Accumulating scenarios and false thought in your head will hurt your feelings and Chances of keeping your relationship will be very slim.
When you talk, you don't only have the right answers, but you're also aware of what is going on with your partner.

Most people believe too much on their instincts, and as human, we can never be right at all times. Like the saying goes, " if you always have to be right, you're wrong".
Don't just dive into conclusion when you hear something about your partner... Talk about it.

Spend time together 

To understand your partner more and more, there is no other rule, but to spend time with them.
When you spend time with them, you'll be aware of whatever is bothering them and how to help them, that'll keep the relationship on the right track you'll understand them a lot.

BE CONCERN ABOUT THE FUTURE 
There's lot of things you could do to waste time than to be in a pointless relationship.
Let the future be the priority. You better start planning ahead now. What are the goals and objective, what is there to archive, make plans for the future.
Where you are now, isn't where you're going to be seven years from now. So support their plans as well as yours.

BUILD YOUR RELATIONSHIP OUTSIDE OF SEX
Since it's going to be a long term relationship, sex shouldn't be the main point, but building the relationship together.

Let bygone be bygone. 

Whatever happened before shouldn't be a topic now. Leave the past behind and focus on the future.
Past relationships experience, what your ex could do and all that stuff, should not be entertain in your current relationship.

These seven rules will help you build that relationship you've always wanted.

Dissolve my marriage now! - Woman begs court after she found out her husband was defiling their 11-year old maid.


A married man was dragged to court by his wife because she caught him sexually abusing their 11-years old housemaid.

Esther, a well established business woman who owns a eatery in Kogi State,  reported the case to the state police concerning the sexual abuse against her husband before the matter was taken to court.

While in the court, the lady laid the complaint against her husband.

Esther: I heard of the sexual abuse on my housemaid from my neighbor who the housemaid confided in because she was afraid that if she told me, I will not believe her because of the trust i have for my husband. My neighbor who is the closest to me in the yard, told me everything  the maid told her against my husband and how he has been abusing her for over a month. I find it very difficult to comprehend because i can't recall the last time i denied him of sex. So i booked an appointment with the doctor and I took my maid and my neighbor along with me. After the medical check ups, the doctor confirmed to me that, indeed my husband is guilty.

I left my maid in the care of the doctor for people treatment and i drove back home to confront my husband concerning the whole saga.

I confronted him concerning the whole issue, and without any atom of fear or remorse, he told me the maid is of age for sexual inter course though he didn't have any with her, that he was only trying to teach her on the essence of true relationship values. I was very angry, i broke down in tears and i really don't know how to feel about everything. I contacted our families and I've told them about the issue on ground and for me this is the end of the road.

Her husband Peter was asked to confirm if the allegations laid against him were true.

Peter: Just like i told my wife, i have nothing else to add. I didn't have sexual affairs with an 11 year old, i confided in my wife concerning the truth and I thought she believed me, I'm very surprised she brought me here to tarnish my reputation, I didn't do it and that's the truth.

Peter further pleaded with the court to save his marriage and that he is not interested in a divorce.

The case was adjourned to be reviewed on the 30th of April, 2018 so the maid and the neighbor will come and give the court more fact on the case before the offender will be judged accordingly.

Mr Peter will remain on house arrest until that time.

Why we increased train fares - Rotimi Amaeci gives hilarious response. (Details)



The former Governor of Rivers State and now minister for transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has addressed the recent development in the increase in  train fares between Kaduna and Abuja.

According to him, the increase in the prices was because majority of those transporting through the railway service are rich.
The minister said this on Thursday at the 3rd edition of the Kaduna Investment Summit.

Rotimi Amaechi also stressed that the intention of the president towards the railway was to transport poor people and low economic class.
“there have been questions on why we increased the train fare between Kaduna and Abuja,” he said during his address at the summit.
“For each locomotive, we spend exactly 56 million naira, when we were charging each passenger N600, we were getting N16 million so all you rich men, we were dashing you N40 million per month. Surprisingly to us, very few poor men transport through those trains. The actual intentions of the Mr. President was to allow us to move poor people from Kaduna to Abuja. For instance If you go to Rigasa, you will see the wealthy men pack their cars and use the railway and chase away the poor people who were suppose to be the original beneficiaries.
“So since it’s the upper economy class that use the railway, we unanimously decided to increase the prices. You know what it’s called in the dictionary term— appropriate pricing. So we price according to your class but it does not affect our subsidy, we still subsidise the railway.”
The minister of transportation also encouraged people to continue holding government responsible and making government accountable saying when locomotives are faulty, he is the first to know.
“What amaze me about the social media is that anytime there is an issue with the railway, the first person to know is me,” he said.
“I see all a lot of videos and I ask people if they realise that I am the minister for transport not the managing director of the Nigerian Railway Corporation so It's not within my office to run the railways.
“In time past, none of you can send a video to a minister but now you send me those videos, it didn't end there, you also instruct me on what to do. I urge you to continue in that light and hold us responsible and accountable to you.”

Ethiopia builds waste to energy plant that converts trash to electricity. First of it's kind in the Continent. (Photos)


Waste recycling and management is one of the biggest and major challenges confronting many African countries.
The ability to recycle waste into something more productive has been a uphill task in the Africa continent.

Also the issue of collection, management and disposal of solid waste still features highly in major towns and cities across the region. Efforts have been made but to no avail as to correctly manage waste disposal and this has often led to flooding and the outbreak of diseases.

For the past 50 years in Ethiopia, its largest waste dump Koshe was home to hundreds of people who invade the bin to collect and resell rubbish trucked in from around the capital Addis Ababa. Tragic death was recorded last year when it killed about 114 people, demanding the government to rethink an alternative use for the dump site which is said to be as large as the size of 36 football pitches.
The country has since then innovated a new strategy to recycle the waste as it turned the site into a new waste-to-energy plant via the Reppie Waste-to-Energy Project which is the first of waste-to-energy recycling in the Africa continent. This idea forms part of the efforts to revolutionize and recycle waste management practices in the country.
The plant, which was expected to begin it's recycling operation in January, will incinerate 1,400 tons of waste on a daily basis. This amounts to about 80 percent of the city’s waste generation. The waste-to-energy plant will also supply the people of Ethiopia with 30 percent of their household electricity needs.
“The Reppie project is just one of Ethiopia’s major and broader strategy to address waste management and pollution and also to embrace renewable energy across all sectors of the economy. We hope that Reppie will serve as a model for other African countries in the continent , and around the world,” Zerubabel Getachew, Ethiopia’s deputy permanent representative to the United Nations said in Nairobi Kenya last year.
The waste-to-energy incineration plant will heat up the waste in a combustion chamber. The heat produced will be used to boil water until it turns to steam, which drives a turbine generator that produces electricity.
The waste-to-energy incineration is also vital for cities where there is short supply of land, as apart from generating electricity, space will be saved and there will be a substantial prevention to curb the release of toxic chemicals into groundwater, and reduction in the release of the greenhouse gas – methane – into the atmosphere.




The project and the construction of the Reppie plant operates within the emissions and it measures up to the standards of the European Union, as it contributes towards alleviating air pollution.
Waste-to-energy plants are already popular and already been used in Europe, as nearly 25 percent of municipal waste is incinerated.
In France for instance, there are about 126 waste-to-energy plants, with Germany having 121 and Italy having 40.
The Reppie plant in Addis Ababa is as a result of the Government of Ethiopia partnership and a consortium with international companies: Cambridge Industries Limited (Singapore), China National Electric Engineering and Ramboll, a Danish engineering firm. The consortium is hoping that there will be more of such projects in major cities across Africa.
