Obama makes rare campaign trail appearance, some leave early

UPPER MARLBORO Md. (Reuters) - President
Barack Obama made a rare appearance on the
campaign trail on Sunday with a rally to
support the Democratic candidate for governor
in Maryland, though the event was marred
somewhat by early departures of crowd
members and a yelling heckler.
With approval levels hovering around record
lows, Obama has spent most of his campaign-
related efforts this year raising money for
struggling Democrats, who risk losing control of
the U.S. Senate in the Nov. 4 midterm election.
Many candidates from his party have been wary
of appearing with him during their election
races because of his sagging popularity.
Not so Lieutenant Governor Anthony Brown of
Maryland, who is running for governor, and
Governor Pat Quinn of Illinois, who is running
for re-election.
"You've got to vote," Obama repeated over and
over at a rally for Brown in Upper Marlboro,
Maryland, near Washington.
Democrats have a history of not turning up to
vote in midterm elections.
"There are no excuses. The future is up to us,"
Obama said.
Some 8,000 people turned out for the event,
held in a noisy school gymnasium. But a steady
stream of people walked out while he spoke, and
a heckler interrupted his remarks.
Obama's help, or lack thereof, may not matter
much to Brown, who is 11 points ahead of
Republican opponent Larry Hogan, according to
an average of polls by RealClearPolitics.
Quinn's race is tighter. He is ahead of
Republican Bruce Rauner by 1.8 points,
according to the RealClearPolitics average.
The governor, echoing the president at other
Democratic events, encouraged the crowd at
Chicago State University to get to the polls.
"When we vote, we win," Quinn told the
auditorium of some 6,200 people.
Obama picked out people from the crowd whom
he knew, and seemed to relish being back in
Illinois.
"It's good to be home," Obama said. "I care
about what happens here," he said to applause.
Obama said he planned to cast his vote early on
Monday. He is scheduled to spend the night at
his Chicago home.

Killer in the honeymoon murder trial dies

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The man convicted for
the murder of a woman killed on honeymoon in
Cape Town has died, announced South Africa's
Department of Correctional Services.
Xolile Mngeni, who was convicted for the
murder in 2010 of Anni Dewani, died in a
hospital unit of a Cape Town prison.
South African prosecutors argue that the
woman's husband, Shrien Dewani, conspired
with Mngeni and two other men to kill his wife.
Dewani, who has pleaded not guilty to charges
ranging from murder to kidnapping, said he and
his wife were hijacked at gunpoint while on a
nighttime drive through a Cape Town township.
Dewani said he was forced out of the car and
the alleged assailants drove off with his wife
still in the backseat of the car. The car and the
body of Anni Dewani were found the next day.
Mngeni, who was convicted as the man who
fired the gun that killed the 28-year-old
Swedish national, was serving a life sentence
when he died. Mngeni was diagnosed with a
brain tumor during his murder trial in 2011.
The Cape Town local applied for medical parole
in July this year but it was denied.
Earlier this month, another man convicted for
the murder, Mziwamadoda Qwabe testified that
he was hired by the Dewani's taxi driver, Zola
Tongo, to kill Anni Dewani. Qwabe and Tongo
are currently serving long prison theories for
the killing.
Dewani is standing trial in South Africa after
fighting extradition from the United Kingdom
for nearly four years.
Mngeni has been a figure during the ongoing
trial.

Goliath Encounter: Puppy-Sized Spider Surprises Scientist in Rainforest

Piotr Naskrecki was taking a nighttime walk in
a rainforest in Guyana, when he heard rustling
as if something were creeping underfoot. When
he turned on his flashlight, he expected to see a
small mammal, such as a possum or a rat.
"When I turned on the light, I couldn't quite
understand what I was seeing," said Naskrecki,
an entomologist and photographer at Harvard
University's Museum of Comparative Zoology.
A moment later, he realized he was looking not
at a brown, furry mammal, but an enormous,
puppy-size spider.
Known as the South American Goliath birdeater
(Theraphosa blondi), the colossal arachnid is
the world's largest spider, according to
Guinness World Records. Itsleg span can reach
up to a foot (30 centimeters), or about the size
of "a child's forearm," with a body the size of "a
large fist," Naskrecki told Live Science. And the
spider can weigh more than 6 oz. (170 grams) —
about as much as a young puppy, the scientist
wrote on his blog . [ See Photos of the Goliath
Birdeater Spider ]
Some sources say the giant huntsman spider ,
which has a larger leg span, is bigger than the
birdeater. But the huntsman is much more
delicate than the hefty birdeater — comparing
the two would be "like comparing a giraffe to an
elephant," Naskrecki said.
The birdeater's enormity is evident from the
sounds it makes. "Its feet have hardened tips
and claws that produce a very distinct, clicking
sound, not unlike that of a horse's hooves
hitting the ground," he wrote, but "not as loud."
Prickly hairs and 2-inch fangs
When Naskrecki approached the imposing
creature in the rainforest, it would rub its hind
legs against its abdomen. At first, the scientist
thought the behavior was "cute," he said, but
then he realized the spider was sending out a
cloud of hairs with microscopic barbs on them.
When these hairs get in the eyes or other
mucous membranes, they are "extremely
painful and itchy," and can stay there for days,
he said. [ Creepy-Crawly Gallery: See Spooky
Photos of Spiders]
But its prickly hairs aren't the birdeater's only
line of defense; it also sports a pair of 2-inch-
long (5 centimeters) fangs. Although the
spider's bite is venomous, it's not deadly to
humans . But it would still be extremely painful,
"like driving a nail through your hand,"
Naskrecki said.
And the eight-legged beast has a third defense
mechanism up its hairy sleeve. The hairs on the
front of the spider's body have tiny hooks and
barbs that make a hissing sound when they rub
against each other, "sort of like pulling Velcro
apart," Naskrecki said.
Yet despite all that, the spider doesn't pose a
threat to humans. Even if it bites you, "a
chicken can probably do more damage,"
Naskrecki said.
Bird eater or mostly harmless?
Despite its name, the birdeater doesn't usually
eat birds, although it is certainly capable of
killing small mammals. "They will essentially
attack anything that they encounter," Naskrecki
said.
The spider hunts in leaf litter on the ground at
night, so the chances of it encountering a bird
are very small, he said. However, if it found a
nest, it could easily kill the parents and the
chicks, he said, adding that the spider species
has also been known to puncture and drink bird
eggs.
The spider will eat frogs and insects, but its
main prey is actually earthworms, which come
out at night when it's humid. "Earthworms are
very nutritious," Naskrecki said.
Birdeaters are not very common spiders. "I've
been working in the tropics in South America
for many, many years, and in the last 10 to 15
years, I only ran across the spider three times,"
Naskrecki.
After catching the specimen he found in
Guyana, which was female, Naskrecki took her
back to his lab to study. She's now deposited in
a museum.

Obama annoyed by weak Ebola response from France, Italy and others

Even as the wobbly U.S. response to Ebola
dominated the headlines this week, President
Barack Obama ramped up a frustration-
powered campaign to get reluctant major allies
to shoulder more of the burden of quelling the
deadly outbreak at its source in West Africa.
Speaking to reporters after an emergency
meeting with top aides on Wednesday, the
president put his personal annoyance on full
display as he portrayed the international
response to the crisis as hesitant and
shortsighted and warned that it endangered
American national security.
“This is not simply charity,” he intoned.
“Probably the single most important thing that
we can do to prevent a more serious Ebola
outbreak in this country is making sure that we
get what is a raging epidemic right now in West
Africa under control.”
Obama declared that he had convened a
videoconference earlier in the day with leaders
of core U.S. allies Britain, France, Germany and
Italy “to make sure that we are coordinating
our efforts and that we are putting in a lot more
resources than, so far at least, the international
community has put into this process.”
If Ebola tears unchecked through West Africa,
Obama warned, “then it will spread globally in
an age of frequent travel and the kind of
constant interactions that people have across
borders.”
Despite that sense of alarm, U.S. officials say
it’s not yet time to “name and shame” specific
rich countries that, in some cases, have kicked
in less cash than the $25 million that Facebook
founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla
Chan, have pledged.
But the frustration is obvious at every level of
the Obama administration. It burst through at
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki’s
daily press briefing on Wednesday, when she
was asked about Cuba’s contribution to the
international response.
“There are some countries that are larger than
Cuba that have not contributed as much as
Cuba,” she said drily.
And key Obama aides at the White House and in
the State Department, as well as sources in
Congress, describe Obama as annoyed to the
point of anger with countries like France and
Italy, which holds the rotating presidency of the
European Union Council.
Allies like Australia and Canada can also expect
escalating U.S. pressure. And officials say
China ought to contribute in a way that befits a
rising world power.
The “top disappointments are France and Italy
— (they) top the list of 'talk most, do least,'” a
senior administration official told Yahoo News.
The official requested anonymity to describe
the situation candidly.
White House aides briefed Congress this week
and said France had been "asked to take
leadership in Guinea" and "could do more,"
according to a congressional source.
The tensions were evident in rival French and
American accounts of a telephone call between
Obama and French President Francois Hollande
on Monday.
In the official description released in Paris ,
Hollande announced that France would build
new treatment centers in Guinea. In the White
House version of the call , Obama was notably
silent on the issue of France’s contributions in
the fight against Ebola — but he did thank Paris
for its help in the war against the Islamic State
militants.
U.S. officials say privately that Australia and
Canada should be providing more health care
workers. One official predicted that China
would unveil some kind of aid package, but that
Beijing would tailor it for maximum Chinese
economic advantage. “Just watch. It’ll be for
Sierra Leone, because: diamonds,” the official
said, referring to one of that country’s
signature exports.
The international response has been lackluster
despite an aggressive U.S. effort to bring global
resources to bear on the dangerous tragedy in
West Africa.
“We have devised specific asks of virtually
every country we think is in a position to
contribute,” one official said. “We’ve been in
touch, multiple times in some cases, with the
countries that are best positioned to help.”
The most frequent requests are for countries to
build Ebola treatment units, known inside
government as ETUs, or to provide health care
workers, purchase medical supplies, or send
funds, often through established international
groups like the Red Cross or the French-
founded Doctors Without Borders.
There’s no clear consensus on why Obama —
unpopular at home, nearly a lame duck — has
struggled to galvanize the international
response to Ebola. Some supporters note that he
rallied a vigorous coalition against the IS, and
others suggest that many countries just don’t
feel the same urgency when it comes to Ebola.
“The volume of African travelers that change
planes in European capitals creates an
inherently escalated level of risk, so you'd think
these governments would want to play a more
active role in preventing the virus from landing
there,” one U.S. official said.
Obama isn’t the only international figure
deploring the anemic global response to Ebola.
Peter Maurer, president of the International
Committee of the Red Cross, told Yahoo
Germany in an exclusive interview that the
crisis is an “epidemic of global dimension and
global threat” that requires an urgent global
response.
“In a globalized world, it is an illusion to think
that such a disease can be contained locally,”
Maurer warned. “Every local collapse of a
system like we see now in Liberia includes the
threat of a global health catastrophe.”
Maurer underlined the gap between pledges of
assistance and aid actually delivered.
“There are a lot of announcements,” he said.
“But when I ask my colleagues on-site about the
aid already arrived, then this result is less than
all the warm words.”

HUH! No Law Can Take Off Our Hijab ---- Muslim Students

The Muslim Students Society of Nigeria,
Lagos State Area Unit has frowned at the
judgement delivered by Justice Grace
Onyeabo of the Ikeja High Court, Lagos on
the ban of hijabs in primary and secondary
schools in the state.
Onyeabo had on Friday, September 17, 2014
dismissed and ruled against the use of hijab
in schools, claiming it would affect the
secular nature of Lagos State.
The judge, a christian, neglected and rejected
numerous arguments presented to her,
during the about two-year case, that sections
of the Nigerian constitution and international
laws guaranteed the freedom of religion,
thoughts and conscience.
It will be recalled that MSSN Lagos had
approached the court to seek end to the
humiliation and harassment of female
Muslims from using hijab.
One of the scenarios of harassment stated by
the group was that on February 5, 2013,
Aisha, a JSS II student of Kadara Junior High
School, Ebute Metta was flogged forty three
(43) strokes of cane on the assembly ground
by her principal, Mrs. E.C Ukpaka, because
Aisha did not to remove her Hijab after
coming out of Islamic Religious Knowledge
class, where it is ordinarily permitted to
adorn Hijab.
MSSN Lagos also mentioned that on February
20, 2013, Bareerah Tajudeen of Mafoloku
Senior Grammar School, Oshodi had her
Hijab removed and trampled upon by her
principal, Mrs. Elizabeth Omidele, outside
the school premises.
However, the society, through a press
statement by its President, Alhaji Kaamil
Kalejaiye said it rejected the judgement.
Kaamil explained that dismissing such a case
with constitutional backings as grounds
further proved the level of oppression and
discrimination against Muslims.
He said, “It is shameful that the judge denied
us a right that is not only Godly but
constitutionally stated. Do we call that a
misinterpretation of the constitution or rape
of the code of law. We want to believe that
the judge is not higher than the constitution
and dictates of the constitution must stand at
all times. While we remain undaunted and
won’t relent on our moves to get female
pupils dress accordingly because it is their
right, we reject in totality the judgement and
urge every muslims to do so too.
“We are simply demanding our right and not
a favour. This is one of the evils that has
continued to dominate the Raji Fashola’s
administration. By Allah’s will, the Governor
and his anti-Islamic and oppressive policies
will not be allowed to stay. Categorically,
muslim students in Lagos are the worst hit by
most of his policies and Allah’s willing in
2015, any party who has continuously denied
us of using Hijab will be denied our votes.
“We have started the sensitisation and
mobilisation for our members, sympathizers
and well-wishers which include parents and
families of our members of over 4million
here in Lagos to be politically ready for
protest votes against anti-Islam parties come
2015 and Allah on our side we shall
overcome.
“This is shockingly an evil from man to man
and If some people or government think they
can influence judgement on earth, they can’t
in heaven. After demolishing mosques,
cremating dead people, the state still wants
to continue to encourage immoral dressing, it
will fail! What it signifies to refuse Hijab is
simply that you are asking our female pupils
to begin to dress nakedly. It is shameful that
we have found ourselves in a state where
wrong acts are seen as the correct by some
elements.”
Kalejaiye insisted that the judgement would
not have been fairly arrived at, giving the
stance that the defendant lawyer, Femi Pedro
(SAN) had in one of his positions argued and
recognised the use of Hijab.
He also said since the government said it
would allow the use of Hijab during Islamic
Religion Knowledge classes and Jumaat
prayer, the Judge should know that it was a
permissible dressing ethics for female
Muslims.
He added, “It is embarrassing to hear the
judge say that allowing the freedom of
religion for Muslims would affect faithful of
other religions. This seems to be absolutely
out of point as the mode of practise and
doctrines of every religions are different.
And the judge should have identified in the
argument of the government counsel that
Hijab is compulsory for Muslim females.
“It will be recalled that the government’s
lawyer, Femi Pedro (SAN), had conceded that
Hijab was “compulsory for Muslims that are
adults”. But how does he want an adult to
begin to use what he/she has not been
practicalising from youthful age? Of what
use would it be to encourage muslim females
to dress naked during their youthful age and
covered when they grow? Islam is a perfect
religion and it does not encourage any form
of irregularities.
“There is contradiction between the judge
and the provisions of the constitution
because while the judge claims that Nigeria is
a secular state, the constitution recognises
two major religions, which are Islam and
Christianity. It must be noted that the
government finances the schools with tax
paid by our parents and indirect tax by us so
we have the right to demand for our right in
our schools. The government is only allowed
to make policies that are within the confines
of the constitution and not to its favour.
“Even when we understand that this is a
Christian agenda, we warn the judiciary not
to compound the immoralities and
segregation against Muslims as promoted by
the present state governor and his party. No
wonder all those in the educational and
judicial sectors are Christians plotted to
deny Muslims of their rights.”
Female President of the group, Hajia Hafsah
Badru, added that since the secularity of the
states that granted it was not disturbed,
there was no basis for that to be a cause for
denying the constitution to take its stand.
“It is mostly painful to us that the judge
refused to recognise or state any punishment
or defense for further oppression and
harassment of female pupils. Our lawyer had
told her how some of our pupils (claimants)
were beaten and molested but no substantial
comment was made on that.
“Some states in the South-West which
include Ekiti have granted the use of Hijab in
their schools and they don’t have problem
with maintaining their secularity as claimed
by the judge. Why should Lagos be different?
Wearing hijab is a constitutional act, must be
allowed and seen as such,” she added.
MSSN Lagos counsel, Chief Gani Adetola-
Kassim (SAN), had after the judgement said
an appeal would be filed.
He said, “Well the court has spoken there are
still very many issues to be considered which
invariably means that we will appeal the
judgment.
“We are simply not satisfied with the court
decision. The angle through which the court
has looked at the issue is quite at variance
with the provisions of the constitution. We
will definitely appeal.”

Ceasefire: Boko Haram To Release 218 Chibok Girls Monday

There are strong indications that the 218
schoolgirls abducted six months ago in
Chibok, Borno State, by the violent Boko
Haram sect may be released on Monday.
The Federal Government, through the
Nigerian military, had on Friday said that it
had agreed to a ceasefire with the violent
sect and that the Chibok girls would soon be
released. And now according to a new report
on PUNCH, the President’s Principal
Secretary, Hassan Tukur, told BBC Focus on
Africa that an agreement to end the Boko
Haram hostilities had been reached after one
month of negotiations in Saudi Arabia. The
negotiation was said to have been headed by
the Chadian President Idriss Deby.
Tukur said Boko Haram announced a
unilateral ceasefire on Thursday and the
government had responded. He said:
“The Boko Haram members have assured us
that they have the girls and that they will
release them. I am cautiously optimistic.”
Tukur and Danladi Ahmadu, who calls
himself the Secretary-General of Boko
Haram, told VOA’s Hausa-language service
that the abducted girls would be released on
Monday in Chad.
The girls are alive and “in good condition and
unharmed,” Ahmadu said.

What A Terrible Loss! Newly Married Dancer Dies During Child Birth

This is really Sad…Popular dancer Kemi
Omotoyinbo is dead.
The dancer who got married on the 13th
of September, 2014 at White House Event
Hall, Toyin Street, Ikeja was a popular
face in Pasuma’s music videos and has
also danced for the likes of Shina Peters
and K1 gave up the ghost while trying to
give birth yesterday, October 1 in a
Lagos private hospital.
According to her friends, Kemi would
have survived the operation the doctors
meant to carry out on her, since she
couldn’t give birth the normal way, if
only they had operated on her on time.
The doctors charged N450,000 for the
operation but demanded an initial
deposit of N300,000 which her husband
couldn’t provide instantly, and that was
where the problem started.
He begged the doctors to carry on with
the operation that he would pay the
money the next day, and kemi even sent
out text messages to friends to come to
her aide and got promises that she would
get the next day since October 1st was a
public holiday. Sadly, Kemi passed on
the night of that day before any help
could reach her.
May her soul rest in peace.
Do you think the hospital handle this
situation well???

Corrupt Nigerian Leaders Ruining Education, Students Declare

Nigerian leaders have been scored low on
education and security as the nation celebrates
her 54th Independence anniversary
As Nigeria celebrates the 54th Independence
Anniversary, the Muslim Students of Nigeria
(MSN), has accused the nation's leaders of
obstructing educational development.
MSN, Lagos State Area Unit, said Nigerian
leaders have not done enough for education,
employment creation and the fight against
corruption.
“Nigerian leaders are obviously the bane of
students and educational development. Fifty-four
years after independence, our academic
institutions still go on strike more than holidays"
the group said in a statement signed by its
President, Kaamil Kalejaiye .
“The mass failure in the just concluded West
Africa Examination Council (WAEC) is just one
of the numerous things to show for our failing
educational system.
The body believes that the leaders' failure is due
to corruption and greed.
“Other countries advanced because their leaders
see positions as a calling and national duty, not
as a means to enrich themselves and their
families," the statement further read.
Kalejaiye said the state of affairs show that
Nigeria is still grappling with postcolonialism and
is therefore not truly independent.
He called for concerted efforts towards fighting
insecurity and corruption, emphasising the
"unimaginable" plight of the Chibok girls.

Nigeria Is A Nightmare – Bola Tinubu

Former Governor of Lagos State, Bola Tinubu is
said to have stated that Nigeria has no cause to
celebrate its 54th year of independence as the
country has become the nightmare of its
forefathers
National leader of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), Bola Tinubu has said that this year’s
Independence Day should be a time of sober
reflection and not celebration as other countries
that received independence at the same time as
Nigeria had bypassed the country.
The former Governor of Lagos State spoke his
mind about the state of the country in a
statement titled ‘A Return to Decency’, Punch
reports.
Tinubu reportedly said in the release that there’s
a need for the country to undergo a “common
sense” revolution as it had become the
nightmare of its founding fathers.
He added further that the 16 years of governance
by the Peoples Democratic Party had plunged
the country into disaster.
Tinubu said:
“The longer they rule, the less benefit the people
derive. Nigeria now needs a ‘common sense
revolution,’ a revolution that calls forth a return
to decency, probity, transparency of process and
fairness in outcome.
“Nigerians should be prepared for change. We
must rescue Nigeria from those set to cause it
irreparable harm. The change I talk about is the
only route to our deliverance from 16 years of
the PDP locusts. Nigeria is ours to keep and its
democracy is ours to save.”
“We commemorate this Independence Day
because the nation has survived despite its many
challenges. We dare not celebrate because the
nation has not flourished as it should. Fifty four
years our national trek began with hope and
promise, peace and unity.
“Today, the nation staggers beneath the weight
of trouble multiplied by hardship. Peace and
unity seem to have yielded the moment to
violence and discord. We exist as a political unit
on a map but we do not prosper as brothers and
sisters in one nation, under one flag and
pursuant to one accord.”
“Never has an elected government in Nigeria
employed religion as a tool to divide the people,
setting Nigerian brother against brother in a
manner that allows this administration to
function at the basest level of governance while
seeking to establish a political domination that
seeks no greater purpose than its self-
perpetuation.”
The former governor also accused President
Goodluck Jonathan of lacking a national
blueprint or vision.

World Record Broken! Filipino Students, Others Plant 3.2 million Trees In 1 Hour

A new Guinness World Records has been set in
the Philippines by a team of volunteers that
planted 3.2 million trees in one hour.
A new world record has been set in the
Philippines after a team of students and other
volunteers planted a whooping 3.2 million trees
within an hour.
Officials say this feat trumps the current figure in
the Guinness World Records, set in August 15,
2011 when 1.9 million trees were planted.
It took an army of 160,000 people, mainly
students, civil servants and other volunteers.
Philippines' Regional Environment Director Marc
Fragada told AFP that the trees were planted in
six different areas on the southern Philippine
island of Mindanao.
“Our official count is about 3.2 million trees in
one hour. But we are still getting reports. We still
have to prepare the packaging of documentary
evidence (for Guinness),” he said.
Fragada said the trees included a mix of forest
varieties and commercial crops like cocoa, coffee
and rubber.
“They were chosen by the planters in hopes that
the local people will take good care of them
because it will be part of their livelihood."
They are now waiting for Official certification
from Guinness World Records.
“Based on our count, we have planted more
(than India) but whether the record is broken,
only Guinness can say that,” Fragada said
Philippines is trying to recover its forest cover
which has been depleted in recent times due to
development, logging and slash-and-burn
farming.

Ganja Nation Ghana Becomes Number One Indian Hemp Smoking Country

Nigeria's neighbour, Ghana, has been confirmed
as the country with the highest number of Indian
Hemp smokers in the world.
Nigeria's neighbour, Ghana, has made a most
notorious history as it has beaten the likes of
Jamaica and USA to become the country with
the most Indian Hemp smokers in the world.
According to a survey conducted by World Drug
Report, the West African nation was named as
the world ' Igbo » ' smoking leaders with 2.8
million Ghanaians out of about the 25,000,000
million population being active weed smokers
and likely to get high on a daily basis, a
whopping 11.2% of the populace.
In the report carried by Ghanaian top website,
OMG Ghana, » other countries that came under
the same study included Jamaica, USA, Nigeria
and the Netherlands but none of these countries
came close to the former Gold Coast in terms of
daily weed takers.
The report has it that while usage in the U.S.
rose after some marijuana legalization began in
2012, it’s still under 10%. Ghana still comes out
on top even though marijuana consumption is
illegal in the country.
OMG Ghana took a look at the national culture
that has made Ghanaians the world’s top weed
smokers:
The weed scene in Ghana
Similar to most African countries,
marijuana is actually illegal in Ghana, but
seems to be openly acceptable by the
new generation. Smoking weed in high schools
and the university is considered ‘cool’.
The area boys who are known to smoke
ganja are typically regarded as the ‘cool
kids on the block’, and are generally
respected by the community they reside.
Weed in Ghana is very cheap
Indian hemp is verycheap in Ghana as
compared to other nations, and this
makes even those with virtually no
source of livelihood to get easy access to the
drug. There are generally three grades available:
“Marri” is low-quality, “polli” is medium-grade
and “riger” is the top-shelf stuff, and they cost
varying amount of money.
Where Ghanaians get their weed
The ‘BUSH’ in the local communities are
notoriously known as the ‘ganja’ spots.
Most of the smoking is done outside in
the bush. It’s very, very warm in Ghana, and
thankfully, there are many small hut-and-bench
combos, which allow for cool breezes to flow
over you while hiding from the ever-present
glaring sun.
The Narcotics Control Board boss is
open to legalization
The Executive Secretary of the Narcotics
Control Board, (NACOB), Yaw Sarpong,
can see some wisdom in the legalisation
of cannabis sativa because increasingly, ordinary
people do not think that possessing the
mentally-disturbing substance is a crime.
Why Ghanaians love weed more than
other people
It’s very unclear why, maybe the
Rastafarians have finally found a way to
positively influence the public or
Ghanaians simply know how to fun better than
everyone else.

South Africa Country's Media Mock Nigeria

South African media have been awash with
derisory comments on Nigeria following the
collapse of the Synagogue Church guest house
where many of their citizens lost their live.
Some years ago when South Africa » was in
the throes of apartheid with the harrowing
experiences they experienced, they had turned to
Nigeria for succour.
The country played the big brother role, spending
huge sums of money in the fight, bringing and
sponsoring their students and sending the
country loads of aids to see that they come out
of the woods.
Today, the same country does not only mock
and condemn Nigeria, they have continued to
ridicule and make scorn of us. Nigerians are
teated like second class citizens in their country
and they are subject of xenophobia.
Nigerians are not trusted and are seen as
criminals who have come to corrupt their
country.
Now with the current tremor caused by the
collapse of a guest house in the Synagogue
Church of All Nations, SCOAN, led by Prophet
T.B Joshua, » and the consequent death of
many of their citizens, the South African press
have taken another jibe at Nigeria.
A leading newspaper in the country, Sunday
Tribune, came up with this warning to their
people, with the legend, You don't want to die in
Nigeria, at various spots in the capital of the
country.
You don’t want to die in Nigeria. Hell,
you don’t even want to get sick in
Nigeria. You are just another number.
You will be told ‘people die all the time in
Nigeria, what makes you so special?
Is this how low we have descended in the eyes
of the world?

How Nigerian Soldiers Used Captured Boko Haram Members To Lure Shekau To Death

Full gists of how Abubakar Shekau, the impostor
and leader of the Boko Haram terrorist group lost
his left in a shootout with Nigerian troops in
Konduga on Wednesday Sept. 17 emerged with
military sources disclosing that he met his
Waterloo in an ambush reminiscent of the type
the sect had been using to hack down Nigerian
troops.
It was gathered that when the first attack on
Konduga whereby hundreds of insurgents were
taken unawares and killed after over seven hours
of fighting and several of their colleagues, arms
and ammunition captured, the military
commanders strategically urged his captured
members to send a message to Shekau that they
(insurgents) have routed the troops.
Before the captured insurgents were urged to
make the contact and deliver the message, the
military commanders had promised them that
their cooperation would play a role in the level of
punishment to be meted to them after the battle
hence they felt reassured.
Also, the captured insurgents had disclosed that
Shekau usually moved in a convoy of cars painted
in military colours while he sits in a MOWAG
Armoured tank with Boko Haram inscription on its
front.
When Shekau was contacted, his captured men
spoke to him in Arabic, assuring him that they
had taken over Konduga, thereby giving him the
all clear to proceed from Sambisa Forest. To
convince him further, a set of his men captured
were told to sing the victory song in Kanuri
language they normally sing at the background.
Having convinced himself that the messenger was
his chief courier in such situation and the
message is authentic, he and his followers made
for Konduga, heavily armed with Anti-Aircraft
weapons, General Purpose Machine Guns, several
AK 47 rifles and other IEDS’.
However, on entering Konduga town, he and his
followers were encircled by strategically placed
and heavily armed Nigerian soldiers. Immediately
he contacted the messenger and discovered that
something was amiss, he ordered his followers to
start shooting in all direction.
This spurred the Army Commanders to give the
directive to open fire. When he discovered that
the fire power of the Nigerian Army who used
both Infantry and Artillery weaponry was
overpowering that of his men, he jumped out of
the MOWAG and made to escape.
But eagle-eyed Nigerian Soldiers spotted him and
opened fire in him, shattering his legs in the
process. It was learnt that he also received bullet
wounds in other parts of his body leading to his
bleeding to death.
Recall that Military sources had earlier disclosed
that Nigerian troops scored a strategic victory in
the current battle against terrorists operating in
the North East on September 17.
The sources noted that during a desperate
attempt to capture Konduga in their delusion to
eventually marching on and capturing Maiduguri,
the man who had been mimicking Late Abubakar
Shekau in recent videos was feared to have been
finally killed.
The sources said, “It is getting more certain that
the terrorists’ Commander who has been
mimicking Shekau in those videos is the one killed
in Konduga on September 17, 2014.”
Affirming the development, PRNigeria sources said
the suspected demise of the Boko Haram leader
is responsible for the scattering of the sect
members in different independent locations in the
neighbouring countries, especially in Cameroon
noticed in recent days.
The security sources noted further that “the
process of confirming that the dead body we have
is the same as that character who has been
posing as Shekau is ongoing” adding “He is
definitely a prominent terrorist commander. I
don’t want to say anything about this yet
please.”
Another high ranking military source insisted that
the resemblance is too striking to be a
coincidence.
“They cited his facial marks, beards and teeth
apart from the recovery by the Nigerian troops of
some of the Armoured Vehicles and Hilux jeeps
that had featured in previous videos of the prime
suspect.
“The officers assured that the Defence
Headquarters will soon address the nation after
full investigation of their latest discovery”.

Igbos Disagree Over Jonathan ’ s 2 nd Term Ambition Bcos He’ s An Ijaw Man

A war of words broke out at the weekend in
Awka, Anambra State, during the Igbo Lecture
Series organized by Ohaneze Ndigbo to mark the
2014 Igbo Day celebration. The National
Chairman of United Peoples Party (UPP), Chief
Chekwas Okorie and the acting President of the
Ijaw National Congress, Charles Ambaiowei,
disagreed over Igbo’s support for President
Goodluck Jonathan’s presumed second term
ambition.
At the lecture which held at the Women
Development Centre, Awka, Chief Okorie had in his
address which received a loud ovation from the
audience, resented the unsolicited endorsement of
Jonathan’s re-election bid by the Igbo, stating
that endorsing the President without any
negotiation or concrete promise to the people of
the South-East amounts to sycophancy.
Okorie wondered when and why Ndigbo suddenly
lost their bite, to the extent of following members
of other ethnic nationalities sheepishly without
asking questions or seeking to know what was in
a game for them. He said: “When I look around
me, I see 1,000 Igbo men who are more qualified
than Jonathan, when I look again, I see more
than 2,000 Igbo men that are more qualified than
Buhari and Atiku put together. So, what are they
telling us?
“My problem is not just that the Igbo have no
good leaders to negotiate for them, my main
problem is that they do not even have the teeth
to bite any longer.
The UPP boss, however, distanced himself from
any endorsement or adoption that President
Jonathan might have received from some Igbo
leaders, including Ohanaeze Ndigbo, stressing that
his party would field an Igbo presidential
candidate next year.
He said, “I have nothing against Jonathan, but I
believe that we should negotiate before we adopt,
and not adopt before we negotiate. I don’t know
when Igbo grew this cold. ”
But reacting to Okorie’s speech, Ambaiowei, who
is a former commissioner in Bayelsa State under
Jonathan as governor, said the UPP’s boss
claims were very far from the truth.
He said there was an existing partnership
between the Igbo and the Ijaw nation, urging
Okorie and his likes to rather think of how to
utilize the said relationship to consolidate their
stay around the corridors of power, with the hope
of taking over from Jonathan after 2019.
He said, “I was on my way coming here (Awka)
when I got a news alert on my phone that
‘Chekwas Okorie blasts Jonathan,’ and later I was
told that Chekwas will be here and I said it will
be good for me to see him.
“What I am saying is that with the partnership we
already have between the Ijaw and the Igbo, we
are asking our brothers here to support Goodluck
Jonathan to complete his second term, and after
then, we will now ensure that Jonathan hands
over to the Igbo.”
However, President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo,
Gary Igariwey, reiterated the Ohaneze stand on
the matter, stating that though it was the turn of
the Igbo to produce the president, they would
shelve their aspiration if Jonathan declares
interest.
He said he would not join issues with Okorie as
he (Okorie) is a respected Igbo son, and had
spoken as a politician he is. Igariwey said there
was the need to call on Igbo at home and in the
Diaspora to join in the collective struggle to build
Igboland and make it the pride of the Igbo.
Speaking to newsmen on the Igbo Day celebration
today, the President-General of World Igbo
Congress (WIC), Chief Nwachukwu Anakwenze,
said it would focus on calling on Igbo in the
Diaspora to return. home and help build up the
Igbo nation

Victims Of Fake Miracles At TB Joshua Church Say 2 Cancer Patients Died At SCOAN In 3 Days

Holy Water, Green Water & Stage-Managed
Miracles Fraud Exposed
Please grab a can of coke or a cup of coffee
because the report you are about to read will take
you 30 minutes to complete.
Let God be true and every man a liar (Romans
3:4), the stories coming out from TB Joshua’s
Synagogue Church of All Nations is very
disturbing.
Around November 2013, I got a mail from a
woman based in Spain who narrated to me how
she lost her son at SCOAN after being promised
he would receive his healing if she can only bring
him to Nigeria. The story was lengthy but God
forgive me, I ignored it.
But as time goes on, I begin to come to terms
with the reality on ground.
A close friend of mine went there in February
(Note: this is not dem say, it happened to my
friend). She has a tumour in her hand, her dad
gave her money to travel abroad for surgery but
another friend convinced her to go to TB Joshua
and lie to her dad. Her dumb plan to save money
led to her untimely death.
My friend lied to her dad that she had travelled
out and went to SCOAN where she spent an
undisclosed amount of money until her demise
two weeks later.
Apparently she got an infection, instead of going
out to seek treatment, she stayed there for the
fear of her dad. Her case was really sad. I won’t
go into further details.
One fact about TB Joshua:
Let’s be honest, the man TB Joshua is a very
charming and humble man, his charming
personality is what keeps people coming to him
but his miracles have K-LEGS.
After the death of 115 people at the guest house
being used by the controversial prophet to attend
to foreign visitors, some journalists decided to
find out how real the miracles being performed by
Temitope Balogun Joshua are.
Read their reports below (Courtesy of Vanguard
Newspaper ):
Today, many people still seek to experience
miracles and some will go any length to have that
experience. At Synagogue Church of All Nations,
(SCOAN) located at Ikotun- Egbe in Lagos state,
an outstanding edifice structured to contain more
than 20,000 worshipers with a quarter of that
population mostly foreigners, it is a destination for
miracles seekers.
People are assured that on seeing the Prophet, TB
Joshua, their load of problems would be solved.
Little wonder that people especially foreigners
besiege the church in search of miracles. Just
imagine more than 80 South Africans dying in the
collapsed foreign guest house building at the
church on September 12.
Thousands throng into the Synagogue Church of
All Nations for miracles. But how real are these
miracles that are spreading like wildfire world
over?
Cameroonian Man With Diabetes Left SCOAN
UNHEALED & BROKE
Mr. Michael French, a 45 years old Cameroonian
suffering from acute Diabetes traveled all the way
from Cameroun for more than 13 hours by bus,
stoolling and urinating frequently on the way. Mr.
French was insulted by passengers in the vehicle
due to his constant call of nature, but he endured
it all hoping that when he gets to Lagos, “it
would be a thing of the past.” He arrived Lagos
very late and slept at the park because there was
no vehicle going to the church.
Mr. French was one of the few that landed at the
church the very next morning. He felt that he was
already healed because of the adrenaline of hope
and excitement in his body. His feet couldn’t hold
him; he had read and watched the exploit of this
man back home in Cameroun. He knew it was his
day to be healed. After all the songs and Sunday
School, the Prophet climbed on the podium and
started praying for sick people.
“I prayed so hard to be the first to receive the
healing. I wanted to tell the world what God has
done for me through the prophet. But l didn’t get
to give my testimony that day. l didn’t receive
any sign of healing. So many people came out to
give testimonies of their healing and I envied
them, but I prayed and hoped that my own
healing would come, perhaps on the second day.
“As usual, l was there early alongside my sister
the following day. We had carried everything we
had saved for this trip. We believed so much that
God would settle us that second day. We went
there the second day and it was the same thing,
a few others received their healing, but l still
didn’t get any. By the third day, I became worried
because I was running out of money.
I called Cameroun for money to be sent, but l
didn’t received any alert. We were still spending
money on accommodation, feeding and by then,
our faith which was aflame when we entered into
Nigeria began to die fast just as our pockets
were draining fast.
“It got to a point when all we had was our
transport fare back to Cameroun; we approached
the church, but they couldn’t help to sustain our
stay. We were so sad and left Lagos utterly
disappointed. I prayed to God for help to survive
the long journey back to Cameroun so that I can
manage my health just like l was advised by the
doctor in the first place. I came to Nigeria
because l was told l would be healed; l would
say that l spent the worst one week of my life in
Nigeria and l didn’t receive what l came for.”
Nigerian Woman With Breast Cancer Says Two
Cancer Patients Died At TB Joshua ’s Church
Again, the story of Awele, a 37-year-old mother is
more horrifying. Awele, a breast cancer patient
based in Lagos told Saturday Vanguard her
experience at the Synagogue while searching for
miracle. After series of tests, she had been told
that her both breasts would go under the knife or
she goes to join her ancestors in less than eight
months.
She couldn’t believe that she was going to die so
soon. She thought about the possibility of her
only daughter becoming an orphan at 18. Amidst
that awful verdict, she exuded faith and decided
to seek a miracle at Synagogue.
“On visiting Prophet Joshua’s church I was
directed to see any of the four Wise-men.
(Saturday Vanguard last week wrote about the
‘four wise-men’ ). After discussing my case with
the Wise men, I observed there were three other
similar cases involving two men and one other
woman. We were all kept in a room. Few days
after, we were not attended to and I insisted on
seeing the prophet himself.”
“But after three days, instead of the prophet, it
was one of the wise-men that visited us and
nothing was done.”
First Cancer Patient Died
She said further: “About the fourth day of our
stay in the church, we noticed that one of us
died, we screamed for help!
When the members came, all they did was to take
away the lifeless body of the man; we didn’t
know what happened to him again. Not even a
single word of prayer was said in our presence for
the guy. The man didn’t return to the room, but
his luggage was still there.
Two days later, they visited the room again to
check on us as they usually did that period. We
asked after the man’s whereabouts and we were
told that he had been healed and had left.”
Awele continued: “I sensed a lie because the
man’s luggage was still with us and the man was
taken away lifeless. So, if he was healed, he
would have returned to pick his luggage and
would have given testimony of the miracle. But
we never saw him again. All this while, we were
feeding ourselves while waiting to be touched by
the servants of the Lord.
Another Cancer Patient Died At TB Joshua’s
Church
“Again, after a few days, one of us who
complained of feeling very bad the previous night
died the following morning. We shouted for help,
like we had done in the previous case. The church
members came to see what the problem was and
took the lifeless body of this man away.
They didn’t return to tell us what had happened
to the man, just like they did in the last case. But
l knew that the man had died, as his body was
very cold.”
“I felt that the story would be like the previous
one, so, I waited for their next visit. When they
visited again, I asked the whereabouts of the man
they took away. They said that the man had gone
home because he had been healed.
So, l asked the impossible question. “Why didn’t
they come back for their belongings when they
got healed?” Perhaps they didn’t believe that we
would ever remember to ask because they were
not prepared hence they were caught off-balance.
They claimed the church had made provision for
them to go home with new clothes, so, they did
not need their old luggage.
There, l made up my mind to leave the
Synagogue as soon as possible because there
appeared not to be hope. I felt they were only
waiting for us to die so that they could do away
with our bodies. To me, I was convinced that the
so- called miracle thing going on there is a big
fraud.”
“I have decided to live my life as though it was
the last because surely my end is near as I was
told by my doctors. I don’t understand why some
pastors claim to heal people when they can’t heal
anybody,” Awele said.
Awele went back to the hospital for the breast
surgery. She did not live to witness the collapse
of Pastor TB Joshua’s hostel building two weeks
ago. She died at the Lagos University Teaching
Hospital shortly after the surgery.
“How I was deceived at the Synagogue
mountain”
“I was invited by my sister in-law in the year
2011 to Synagogue church for healing and
deliverance when I was having some problems
which I would not like to tell you. So, when I got
to the church, I was told that mothers whose
children were below six years were not allowed to
sit in the main church auditorium with their
children.
Their reason was that since the program was
always a live-broadcast, they would not like
children to distract the camera men. They keep
mothers and their kids at a separate place. If
your kid is above six, they will register him/her to
Children Sunday School. So, that very day, I went
with my little daughter to the church. When we
got to the church after observing all the
protocols, we were kept with other mothers. So,
suddenly, one of the wise men came to us and
said that the man of God wanted to see all the
nursing mothers and therefore, he ordered that all
of us should be brought into the main church
auditorium. When we came in, we were told to
kneel at the alter for a prayer session.”
“While the prayer was going on, I fell under the
power of anointing. After the prayer session, they
came to all of us that fell during the prayer
session and said that we would be going to the
mountain for deliverance.
We were all booked for the mountain, when I told
my sister in-law who invited me for the program,
she congratulated me for being lucky saying that
as far as I was scheduled to go to the mountain,
all my problems had been solved.
“On that day, we assembled at the church
premises where the bus came to take us to the
mountain located in Agodo, Ikotun, area of Lagos
state. The rule while going to the mountain was
that, “you do not talk to each other when you get
to the mountain.”
“The mountain is a riverside area just like a very
long street. There were so many animals in the
river. There were huts constructed with planks
where people that came for deliverance at the
mountain including the man of God stay.
I asked them why did they choose this kind of
place as the mountain, they said that was the
place the man of God first stepped his foot when
he was fasting to build the Church.
Right there, we were asked to pick a red piece of
paper which was passed round to others present.
On the piece of paper, some quotations from the
Holy Bible were written on it and you will be
asked to pick your choice for prayer. You will also
be asked to buy the Holy water which goes for
N5,000 and pray with it and it ends there. I did
not get any deliverance, neither was there any
miraculous changes on the issues that took me
there.”
Again, Mrs Ruth revealed that, the deceit in the
church was also discovered by her own brother
who was based in Norway. According to her, one
of the major criteria for seeing the man of God,
especially if you are coming from outside the
country, is that you will keep sending e-mail until
you get a reply.
“My brother who is a Redeemed Pastor, based in
Norway with his family, has his two children, his
son and daughter, deaf and dumb right from birth.
The man being ignorant of the procedures for
seeing the man of God, flew into the country with
his family with the hope of seeing the man of God
for a miracle, but he was told he could not see
the man of God since he did not get any reply to
his mails. So, they were asked to go back and
keep sending mails until they get a reply.
The man went back and kept sending mails to
see the man of God. When they eventually got the
nod to come, they did not go with the kids.
The wife was scheduled to go to the mountain as
well, but after going through all these processes
of mountain and anointed water, the children still
remained the same, nothing changed in any of
them,”she explained.
But many worshipers believe miracle as being
taunted by Pastor T.B Joshua is a function of
individual faith. A worshiper who preferred
anonymity, at the church recently told Saturday
Vanguard that:
“Just like in every other church, it is your faith
that heals you. I am not a regular worshiper here,
I come here once in a while for prayers and
healing, I believe that it is your faith that heals
you. No amount of prayer from a man of God can
set you free, if you do not have faith,” she said.
There are those who attest to the efficacy of
prayers offered by Joshua.
Another eye witness who was met at the
premises of the collapsed building said that the
building initially was meant for just restaurant but
because of the high demand of worshipers, they
have to add buildings on top which resulted in the
collapse.
“If you watch out, you will see that the ground
floor was used as canteen where worshipers both
in the church and those that lodged in the hotel
come to eat. But because of the influx of people
and the demand for accommodation especially,
foreigners, they decided to add additional floors.
These collapsed building is for people from
different countries and it costs between N50,000-
N60,000 per night including feeding.
While the other one standing not too far from the
collapsed building is for ministers and top
government officials and it costs between
N100,000 and above. And if you are lodged in the
hotel, you are not allowed to have visitors until
you leave. Everything you want, all kinds of food
will be made available to you in the hotel, so
there is no reason to have visitors,” he said.
He added that only members of the church are
allowed to work in the hotel. “None members are
not allowed in the hotel either as visitor or
worker. If you do not worship in the church, forget
about working there. From the contractor to the
least person, they all worship in the church. The
church is doing that as a way of empowering
their members,” he disclosed.
Miracles are stage-managed
“A friend told me about prophet T.B Joshua in
2010 when my late son had swollen penis. He
suffered for two years before I went to T.B
Joshua. I took my son there and after a while, I
was given a card to see the prophet. I was
among several other people who were having
problems.
In the deliverance and miracle section, the
ailments were categorised into different parts, so,
you were expected to go to your deliverance
section.
“It was very tough before we could see the man.
And because of the state of my son, we had to
rent an apartment in the area so that we could
keep close contact.
At about the time, there were about100 people
waiting to see the prophet, yet we could not see
the prophet after three months.
“I was helpless but I held on and believed that
once I saw the man, everything would be fine.
Everyday, my son was groaning in pains and we
were not financially buoyant. So, we wanted to
see the man at all cost so that my son would be
healed.
“One the day, my son was asked to come for the
deliverance, we came as early as 5am. I was
anxiously waiting for the man, but he didn’t show
up until 4pm. He was accompanied by his press
crew and other people in his ministry. Ï saw the
man, he saw my son, but he didn’t lay hands on
my son. Ï called on him desperately but he
ignored me and my son. Someone close to him
said to me: “it seems the prophet wasn’t directed
to heal my son. I was perplexed and asked why.
But he later told me to come the next month.
Perhaps, God will direct him to heal my son. I
was disappointed and went back home.
“The next month, I went back to the church but
to my surprise, I was asked to start the process
of seeing the prophet all over again. I was
devastated, I did not know what to do. At that
time, my son’s condition had deteriorated. He
shrunk and paled. I cried for help but nobody
heard me.
A man told me to go and buy the anointing water
and give my son. I bought the anointing water
and gave it to him but nothing happened. Instead
of my son to be healed, he was getting worse by
the day. At that time, there was nobody to help
me. I tried all I could to get to the man, all to no
avail. Then, I went back home and started
praying to God to save my son. Unfortunately, the
boy died after two weeks.
Since, then, I have decided not to go back to that
man’s church because there’s nothing called
miracle there. What you see are all stage-
managed miracles.”
I got initiated in the dream by drinking green
water
One man told us his story this way: “It all started
when I came to Lagos in search of financial
empowerment. I was advised to go to Synagogue
Church and that the man of God there empowers
people financially.
One month later, I came in contact with the
prophet. I was told to drink the green water and
go home.
When I got home, I started experiencing some
strange things at home. I didn’t know what they
were until I slept off. I saw the man in my dream
and in a way, I was initiated and I started seeing
strange things. I couldn’t explain everything I saw
but I knew I was initiated. Then, I left everything,
family and came to the church.
I lived in the church for more than one year but
there was nothing like empowerment. I was
working as a cleaner.
One year after, I was told to leave the church
environment, that my services were no longer
needed. I did not know what was wrong. I left
and went back to my family. It was when I got
home that my father told me how they had been
into intercessory prayers for my restoration, that I
was initiated and lost my mind.
Why foreigners believe in Prophet T.B Joshua
To several others, T.B Joshua is like a man-of
God who is not honoured in his hometown. This
perhaps lends credence to the influx of foreign
nationals to the Synagogue.
According to investigation, Pastor Joshua has
good relations with highly-placed foreigners
including presidents both serving and former
leaders of some countries in Africa and beyond.
They come in droves from all corners of the
planet for spiritual healing and solutions to
different ailments or problems. Saturday
Vanguard encountered an Asian woman from
Singapore at the SCOAN recently.
When asked why she chose to travel so far to
attend a church service here in Ikotun, Lagos
Nigeria, the woman who pleaded anonymity said:
“Why will I not believe him when I witnessed
many miracles taking place before my very eyes. I
witnessed those “wheel-chair bounds’ getting up
on their feet and instantaneously walking after his
touch and prayers.
I witnessed the cancer-stricken patients getting
healed. I witnessed people possessed by the
spirit of lizard, possessed by the spirit of snake,
possessed by the spirit of monkey receiving
deliverance and being delivered from the evil spirit
living in them for many years. You are not going
to believe this, but you have to. I even witnessed
a HIV infected woman getting cured.”
Another European man in his 50s who came to
Nigeria three years ago said: “When T.B Joshua
comes to the pulpit to preach, his sermons are
great. Another thing that fascinates me about this
special man of God, instead of posing himself as
another miracle worker and asking people to
donate large sum of money, this man of God
preaches with strong conviction and clear
message of holiness.
“Prophet T. B Joshua will always say “Healing
without putting the Word of God as our standard
will not stand the test of time” and I adore him
for that. This humble man of God attributes Jesus
as the healer and he preaches about putting the
Word of God as the central principle guiding our
lives, one on which through the Word, healing,
peace, and others are built upon. So, tell me what
more I need to believe? He is a true messenger of
God,” he queried.
STOP BLAMING TB JOSHUA FOR YOUR
PROBLEM
Miracle seekers please stop blaming TB Joshua
for your woes, did he force you to come there?
It is over to you friends, choose today whom you
will serve, Jesus Christ or TB Joshua.
May the Lord help us all. I rest my case.

Nigerian Prophet TB Joshua Banned From South Africa & Zimbabwe, Denied Visa

Temitope Joshua, the healer and his wise men as
they are fondly called have been denied South
African visas and banned from visiting Zimbabwe.
This came as a result of a tragedy that killed over
80 South African pilgrims at his church earlier
this month.
Why Many South Africans Died At TB Joshua’s
Church
According to reliable sources, South Africans are
passionate about the Synagogue Church, always
coming there on pilgrimage.
There is a tour package which cost an average of
10,000 Rands each for one week. The collapsed
building was meant for Southern African groups
like worshipers from Namibia, Lesotho,
Mozambique, Botswana and the Republic of South
Africa.
Worshipers from Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore,
Japan also use the collapsed building but
investigation revealed that South Africans were
more because Pastor Joshua decided to give
more opportunities for the South Africans who
have remained insistent and shown solidarity to
SCOAN. No fewer than 84 South Africans were
killed in the tragedy.
Healing of sicknesses and diseases also bring
nationals from other countries to Synagogue – all
for miracles. Holy water, otherwise called
anointing water, is sold to pilgrims between
N5000 and N10,000 per bottle.
Even thousands of anointing water bottles are
exported to some West African countries.
Worshipers from foreign nations are encouraged
to stay until after seven days. They are always
screened and registered by the church authorities.
Those with financial problems believe that use of
the anointing oil restore their finances.
Meanwhile, it was gathered that the ruling African
National Congress, ANC, Youth Wing had warned
Pastor T.B. Joshua not to come to South Africa.
He should not enter the country until they know
what happened to their compatriots in Nigeria.
According to Bandile Masuku of ANC Youth
League, “we will make sure that Pastor T.B.
Joshua is not issued with a South African visa.”
The influx of foreign nationals into the church
could be explained by the adage that a Prophet is
not acknowledged or recognised in his own
country. But with this tragedy, many people are
becoming scared of the Synagogue church and
more knowledgeable about what goes on there.
Strangely, however, several South Africans, we
reliably learnt, are still anxious to return to
Nigeria to patronize the church because of their
believed spiritual prowess of Pastor T.B. Joshua.
He is feared and highly respected by politicians,
including prime ministers, presidents and
ministers. Even sports men come to the
Synagogue not only for healing when injured but
also for for success in their outings. Prominent
athletes and footballers have gone there to seek
one form of help or another.
May the souls of those who perished rest in
perfect peace and may God give the living a
discerning spirit.
“Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test
the spirits to see whether they are from God,
because many false prophets have gone out into
the world. ” – 1 John 4:1

CAN President Ayo Oritsejafor Owns Private Jet Seized With $ 9 .3 M In South Africa

Private Jet Used To Smuggle 9.3 Million Dollars
Out Of Nigeria Owned By Ayo Oritsejafor
The private jet that got seized last week in South
Africa with a stack of $9.3 million is owned by
Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN’s President,
Mr Ayo Oritsejafor.
According to Nigeria’s Aviation Ministry, the
private jet was leased to another party, meaning
that Ayo Oritsejafor had no control on what the
aircraft is used for.
Mr. Oritsejafor’s church also confirmed the
ownership in a separate statement Tuesday. That
the pastor has a “residual interest” in Eagle Air, a
company that manages the aircraft.
“On behalf of Pastor Oritsejafor, we can confirm
that although he holds an interest in Eagle Air, the
aircraft in question is not operated by Pastor
Oritsejafor,” the statement by The Word of Life
Bible Church said.
The aircraft was leased to, and is operated by
Green Coast Produce Limited since August 2, the
statement added .
Two Nigerians and an Israeli citizen were nabbed
last week at an airport in Johannesburg with 9.3
million dollars. During interrogation, the trio said
the money was meant to buy weapons.
Why do they have to use CAN President’s private
jet to buy weapons without his knowledge, don’t
Nigeria have official jet.. Yeye dey smell.

Boko Haram Installing Satanic Emirs In Borno State: A Wake Up Call To All By Perry Brimah

To The People of Borno: Do Not Let Jonathan Do
To You What Uthman Couldn’t
This is a solemnly written letter to all the people
of Borno. Let those who can, read it and those
who cannot have it read to them.
I greet you in the name of the Creator;
Will you let Jonathan do to you what Uthman Dan
Fodio could not?
Are you going to let Borno, the great Kanemi
Empire fall to these foreigners? Are you going to
let the evil plotters take your Empire?
I write you as one of you. Your fight is my fight. I
write you as a friend, brother and a son.
Boko Haram rules over 75% of Borno. They are
installing satanic Emir’s in our palaces. They
have vilified our sanctuaries. How long shall we
run from them? How long shall our sons hide in
ceilings only to be pulled out and slaughtered?
How long shall we wait for this military whose
leadership connives with the very terrorists who
slaughter us? We have waited for five years and
all that has happened is the rape of our people.
The intentional fight-and-stop war that allows
Boko Haram time to conscript more of our
children for the military to help them slaughter in
stage-wise annihilation. In these five years we
have witnessed a partnership to exterminate us.
We have been brought to our knees in five years.
Are we still going to wait for this government that
the entire world knows smuggles guns for
terrorists? Are we still going to wait for this very
government whose army chiefs supply our
enemies the weapons they use to massacre us?
When shall we gather ourselves together, legions
of brave Borno youth and make a stand? When
shall we invite brothers from across Nigeria to
come and join us recover our wealthy land? Is
there not a warrior among us? Is there not a real
leader among us? Do we not have wealthy
enough people to sponsor us? Do we not have
holy enough people to pray for us? If we must,
we should chase out the entire military from our
State and wage our battle, win or lose by
ourselves; but dear family, the time for waiting on
Jonathan is gone. He has handed over our rich
land to foreigners from the French countries who
want our oil, our farm land, our resources, our
daughters and our youth. He has sold Borno
because his heart is black. Aso rock is not simply
vacant; it is occupied by smugglers, murderers
and treacherous tyrants. It is a sin to wait for
Aso rock. We cannot wait for evil leadership. On
what account shall we wait for such evil
leadership? How will we explain to those who
come after us that we lost Bornu because we
waited for the Beast?
I call on the people of Borno to rise up now. May
the Custodian and Protector of mankind protect
you.
What’s said right is inspiration, what’s said
wrong is personal error.
