The President of Venezuela Nicholas Maduro, while touring one of the local communities with a bus was hit just above the left ear with a mango by a woman named Marleny Olivo. But rather than calling for her arrest, he calmly picked the fruit and showed it to the crowd. The mango had the woman’s telephone number and she asked for the president to be in touch with her.Later, the president discussing the incident in one of his television broadcasts explained that the woman is having a housing crises.He then told the woman that she will be getting her new home within the next few hours. The President was a former bus driver. There is nothing like a leader who has been there before. It puts him in a better position to understand what the people he is leading pass through. Because this president had had his lowest moments before becoming a president, he also is able to sympathize with people who are going through the same thing. That is one mark of an effective leader. Hmmm... reminds me of...

A beer company received approval from the Oregon Environmental Quality Commission to use filtered wastewater to produce beer. The light yellow lager beer will be brewed by home brewers using recycled wastewater.Oregon Brew Crew now produces a wastewater beer and serves it at company events, but the final product will have to be approved by health and safety officials.One health authority approved the idea, giving credit to the high quality of treated water, additional microbial reduction in the process of brewing and a low risk of health in general.

A program where couples have sex inside a soundproof box before discussing their relationship issues has been canceled after just five episodes."Sex Box," a program that aired on the cable channel WE TV, was pulled from the airwaves following low ratings and protests from social conservative groups. Sex Box, which debuted in February, featured gay and straight couples who would have sex in an enclosed box and then come out to a studio audience to discuss their relationship issues with a three-person panel. Mariella Frostrup, host of the British version, told the U.K. Daily Mail back in 2013 that "Sex Box" was not pornographic. Groups like Parents Television Council rallied thousands of supporters against the programme, urging for its cancellation saying that "it has been from the outset an affront to families, toxic to advertisers...".

Monica caught her husband staring again. This time at the busty lady in red. Her heart cringed for the umpteenth time that night. She needed no prophet to tell her that before the evening was over he would have the unknown lady's cell number in his contact list. She wondered if there was ever going to be an end to his escapades. True she had not really caught him physically cheating on her but the signs were there: the lewd text messages and seductive pictures from ladies on his phone, the late night hush hush calls, the late home comings with no viable explanations…there was just so much baggage. She had confronted him on different occasions but surprising enough he had never denied any of it. He would only smile down at her like she was a bickering little child; like he was the man and can do whatever he wants to do and get away with it. She quietly excused herself from his side as he cast amorous glances at the lady in red. It was obvious he was too busy to notice she'...

1) The Sex industry is the largest and most profitable industry in the world. It includes street prostitutes, strip clubs, phone sex and Pornography. 2) 30 million people are viewing porn any second of the day, even right now (Huh?!) 3) Every 39 minutes a new porn film is created in United States. 4) University of Montreal study found that most guys are exposed to porn for the first time at age 10. 5) Conducting research on how porn affects relationships has proven extremely difficult because Scientists have had trouble finding a control group of men who have not watched porn. 6) 70,000 sites were dedicated to porn about 12 years ago but have increased to 4.2 million in 2014 in United States alone. 7) About half of the internet is made up of porn or porn- related content. 8) The penalty for viewing porn in North Korea is death!

There was a bomb explosion in one of the election venues during Saturday's Governorship elections in Aba. This happened at Okigwe road Primary School, Aba. According to an eye witness, the ground reverberated with the explosion but gladly enough nobody died. It was non-fatal possibly because the explosion occurred in one of the classrooms. One of the culprits believed to have planted the bomb was caught hiding in the ceiling while he was about to set off another bomb closer to where people who came for voting were. The people beat up the man, hitting and stabbing him before the police arrived and whisked him away to their station. Despite the unfortunate situation, it did not deter people from casting their votes. Wow, that's so patriotic of these people. The above picture shows the Security assessing the situation after the blast. *It's a pity that politics is a do or die affair for some people. It's not worth it. Thank God nobody died.

The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Suleiman Abba, has ordered restriction of vehicular movement in the 36 states, from 8a.m. to 5p.m. for the governorship and House of Assembly elections on Saturday. This is contained in a statement issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, Mr Emmanuel Ojukwu, on Thursday in Abuja. The statement explained that the measure was to ensure safety and security during the polls. “There is no restriction of vehicular movement in the Federal Capital Territory as there is no election taking place there on the said date,’’ the statement said. It added that the restriction excluded “vehicles on essential duty such as Fire Service, ambulances and vehicles used by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and law enforcement/security agencies.’’ The statement assured that adequate security logistics and manpower had been strategically deployed to achieve conducive atmosphere for the polls. It said that policemen on election duty had been pro...

I culled this funny story from WWWN. Pretty hilarious: A couple was placed behind bars for selling Golden Tickets to Heaven to naive people, police in Florida said. Jacksonville Police said that Tito and Amanda Watts were arrested after being accused of selling the tickets to hundreds of people. The couple, who sold the tickets on the street for $99.99 a piece, told buyers that the tickets were made of solid gold and each ensures the buyer a place in heaven by simply presenting it the gate. Police said that while selling tickets to heaven is legal, Watts’ tickets were not made of solid gold so he was defrauding his customers. The tickets were wood and covered with gold paint. Tito Watts denied that the tickets were made of wood. He said that he doesn't care what the police say. He also said that Jesus gave him the tickets outside a KFC restaurant, and an alien promised him to take him and his wife to a planet made of cocaine, where he would be able to do drugs all day fo...

I got this story from the Beginning and End. Very interesting piece of information: A hi-tech Swedish office building is offering all employee tenants microchip implants to access security checkpoints, exchange data and make purchases. The implant which, over 400 employees have opted to receive, is just another sign in the growing trend of implantable RFID technology that will soon sweep society. It is also another sign of the world’s collision course with the fulfillment of end time Bible prophecy. According to reports, it enables you to open doors with a swipe of your hand, communicate with your mobile phone,you can sort of communicate with your doctor and you get can data on what you eat and what your physical status is etc. What does this signify? In the economy of the final years before the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, the world governments will be consolidate into a global confederation under the leadership of the Antichrist, the religious leader of the world, referred to ...

Frank Bruni, a gay columnist in New York Times believes that the way the religious community will live in peace and harmony with the LGBT community is by having the Bible rewritten (huh?) In his April 3rd column, ‘Bigotry, the Bible and the Lessons of Indiana’, he recognizes that Christian beliefs are not necessarily grounded in hatred but the ‘problem’ is that beliefs ossified over centuries are not easily shaken.” So Bruni thinks he can simply dismiss the scriptures as ‘ancient texts’, explaining ‘ all writings reflect the biases and blind spots of their authors, cultures and eras.” (Chai! Poor ignorant Bruni. He doesn’t know that God Himself authored the Bible and He never makes mistakes) Here’s what Christian Post’s response to Bruni and New York Times: “A billion years from now, when the names of Frank Bruni and Mitchell Gold and New York Times itself are long forgotten, the words of God will still stand…The fact that churches and denominations and religious groups may come and...

Sometimes we need to be reminded of where we used to be and where we are now in order that we do not forget that it was God's grace that brought us this far.

Virginity has become obsolete and a mere act of naïvity in today's society. When a young man is never seen hanging out with girls, people around him consider him either strange, a homosexual or that something is medically wrong with him. Why? Because sex has become the habit of 'everyone'. Even children are not left out in sexcapades. So you become strange or pretentious when you say you are not doing it when everyone is! That's the popular mentality. The society thus puts so much pressure on people and make them believe they don’t belong until they have tasted the ‘forbidden fruit’. Does this paint a familiar picture? There was the serpent offering Eve the forbidden fruit. “You will be like God” , he said. She gave in and offered to her husband also who partook of it. Their eyes were opened and their glory taken. Same thing is happening today. It’s history repeating itself. Thus , the world considers it that your eyes are not opened until you partake also. It’s natu...

Every mention of God has been replaced with Kanye West in a new bible called the “the Book of Yeezus: A Bible for the Modern Day’. It also features an etching of West on the cover and sells for $20 on Etsy. On Etsy, the creators of the book wrote, “for this generation, Generation Y, Kanye West is not only its greatest spectacle, but in some senses, a spiritual figure. We are here to spread a doctrine. Well, a pseudo doctrine. We ask you to use your pulpit for Good.” The publishers claim that they have ran out of stock because of the so many book orders placed. According to reports by Christian Today, West identifies as a Christian. He previously said, “I am a Christian and I am hip-hop. So you mix those things together and you want to express yourself in a certain type of way, and be bold. I wanna be like Christ. That’s not to say I have a god complex. But it’s like, if people pick a favorite Halloween character it’s like, that’s what I would pick! Don’t people pick people that th...

Sun reports that Islamic state fighter are falling ill in their droves to a deadly flesh eating virus Known as Leishmaniasis. The disease is spreading fast due to poor hygiene and pollution. More than 100,000 cases have been reported.It causes large open wounds which eat away at flesh and is fatal if not treated with a simple course of medicine. But the jihadi fighters are refusing medical treatment which has led to more outbreaks.Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by parasites and spread by the bite of certain types of sandflies.It is more prevalent in countries where people are suffering from poverty, malnutrition, deforestation and urbanization. There are different forms, but it can cause skin ulcers, fever, low red blood cells and enlarged spleen and liver.People in the Islamic State’s capital Raqqa, in war-torn Syria, are at the highest risk. *God is surely bringing these people to judgement.

God is not an ‘Igwebuike’ God. He is the God that works with that ‘one’ heart that is available and ready.

It would have been futility, our Christian faith, if Jesus never rose from the dead but He did! It forms the very foundation of who we are. By His resurrection, the victory was made complete. His death defeated sin by the shedding of His blood. His resurrection conquered Death so He now holds the keys of death and the grave. No more do we need to live in fear of condemnation. Our Jesus has wrought for us (not for Himself) the double victory. We can’t be intimidated by Satan anymore. We are more than conquerors only through Him. Praise the Lord!

A man was found lying dead beside a scare crow that he dressed up in a wig, a lip-stick and strap-on sex toy. According to the spokesman of the prosecutor, there was no sign of violence thus they were working on the assumption that the man must have died during sex with the scarecrow. He confirmed that they were waiting for the autopsy result. Neighbors said the man victim was a loner and had no mobile phone.

The story below is as reported by the Mirror. Some teachers sef...haba!: An over-zealous nun stabbed a schoolboy in the hand with a needle to show him how Jesus suffered. Sister Ludovita, 30, had been giving RE classes at a school in the town of Kysucke Nove Mesto in northern Slovakia when she told unsuspecting pupil Adam Celko, 7, to come to the front of the class. She then took a needle out of her handbag and rammed it into the boy’s hand in front of the horrified class, telling him that this was how Jesus suffered - and he would too if he behaved badly. The boy’s outraged mum Helena, 30, said: "When Adam got home he had a wound on the back of his hand and when I asked him what had happened he told me the nun had done it.A spokesman for the school said: "We strongly disapprove of this sort of teaching method. She added that the children had been invited to voluntarily experience mild pain so they could empathise with the theme. She said she had invited the pupils to...

According to reports, the school had protested about the university insecurity last November. They believe that the school authority did not take the university’s security problem seriously enough. It was located in a town long known for violent extremist attacks thus the campus of mainly Christian students was an obvious target in a predominantly Muslim area within striking distance of Somalia, 90 miles away. Students said they felt unsafe and exposed, knowing the university was vulnerable to attack. Garissa University College was inaugurated in 2011. Almost nobody wanted to be there because of security problems but they were declined spots in the mother campus, Moi University in Eldoret. So many of the students wanted a transfer but they could not get it. An eye witness said that the gunmen's first target when they arrived was an early morning Christian meeting.Out of the 29 present for the meeting, only 7 of them survived. We were praying,” said Duncan Obwamu, 25. “We were in ...

One of the reasons why I choose these stories is for it to serve as an eye opener to us on what is happening right in the church so that we can make corrections and change. According to a reliable source,a church located in Asaba ,Delta state had about 49 shops to lease out. Forms were sold to people who were interested in obtaining the few shops for #1000. Knowing so well that they had limited shops available, they went on to sell the forms to over 500 people. At the end of the day, they gave out the shops to just 49 people. There was no refund whatsoever. So please tell me: Why would a church continue to sell their forms knowing fully well that the available shops were few? Is this not sheer wickedness? We remember the incidence of the recruitment into Nigeria Immigration Service that went wrong last year? This same people who did this must have lashed out and condemned the action of the NIS yet they turn around and do exactly the same thing to people who trust them and look up to t...

I got this from Christian post and it reads as below:The Christian Association of Nigerian-Americans has said that outgoing President Goodluck Jonathan has acted 'heroically' by peacefully conceding the presidency to his rival, Muhammadu Buhari. CANAN said that it had prayed for a peaceful outcome, and expressed hope that Buhari will be able to drive out terror group Boko Haram from Nigeria. "I think President Goodluck Jonathan has etched his name in gold by the single action he took to concede defeat and congratulate the winner of the election. It is unprecedented in Nigeria's history, at the national level, to have a president concede defeat so quickly, even before the final results are released," pastor Laolu Akande, the executive director of CANAN, told The Christian Post in a phone interview on Wednesday. He added that although Jonathan has left a number of questions regarding corruption and his administration's ability to provide security for the Nig...

Indiana will soon be home to The First church of Cannabis , a marijuana-inspired church which has been approved by the state. The Washington Post reports that the church founder Bill Levin proposed the 'church' in response to Indiana's controversial religious freedom law which critics say discriminate against homosexuals.

The Super bug is a drug-resistant bacteria that resides in the intestines. It has sickened more than 200 people in U.S since May 2014, health officials said on Thursday.

The bacteria, called Shigellosis, can easily spread among children in childcare facilities, homeless people and gay and bisexual men, which has occurred in the outbreaks, CDC said.

Moving against the crowd? Where the crowd is going is not always the right way. Choose the righteous way even if you stand alone.

It was during my antenatal that I first heard about pregnant women who had to be remanded to bed rest for days, weeks or throughout the span of their pregnancy. I was shocked. A few days remanded to a bed could be tortuous but for months? That is something no one would not want to deal with. It was not because they planned it that way but because of certain conditions they may be having in their pregnancy. One of these conditions is what is called the loose or incompetent cervix. The incompetent cervix is a condition in which the cervix is likely to open/dilate prematurely and when this happens, the life of the baby is threatened because the baby is born prematurely. So depending on how critical the woman’s situation is, she may be remanded to different categories of bed rest. It could be the woman decreasing her activity for a period of time and avoiding heavy housework but she can move freely around the house or she might need to remaining sitting or in reclining position most of th...

The young man kept his eyes fixed on the cross. His face was creased with a frown as he concentrated on his object of interest. The cross, that old rugged cross upon which He died. He reflected on His last moments: the denial, the rejection, the torture, the pain, the cajoling from a crowd once thrilled by His miracles. This very same crowd called for His crucifixion. The very people He loved and cared for. But it was destined that He died, that salvation may come to the same people who called for His death. That was His mission, His ultimate purpose: that He may die, that His blood be shed so that man may be delivered from Satan’s power. Like the Passover Lamb, He was slaughtered for sacrifice. The young man reminisced on what really must have happened while He hung there bleeding, weak, thirsty and dying. What went on behind the scenes, in the spiritual, where human eyes can’t see when He finally released His spirit as He breathed His last? He saw the devil bowed in defeat when he ...

On Wednesday, New York State assembly passed an abortion bill which allows 3rd trimester abortion using procedures like a shot of poison to the baby’s heart by medical professionals who necessarily don’t have to be doctors. The bill will expand the NY law which now only allows abortion in the 3rd trimester when the mother’s life is in danger to permitting abortion up to 9 months of pregnancy. The bill also seeks to make it legal for a woman to have an abortion for any reason ‘relevant to the wellbeing of the patient’. This reason could be physical, emotional or psychological. Lori Kehoe, NY right to life executive director, decried the passage of the bill saying, “…with no regard for the fully developed unborn baby who is violently dismembered, or otherwise killed, the NY state assembly once again put the abortion lobby above women and children.” Culled *Does this not seem strange to you?

4) Tell them the truth : Be open to them. Be sincere. Do not hide the truth from them no matter how sensitive the issue is. For instance, some parents still find it hard to talk sex with their children. Sex education should begin from home. The world is sexually explicit and it is required of you to tell your children everything they need to know in the wisest way possible. If you hide this information from them , they will certainly get it from the wrong source and would want to experiment it. Their ignorance will increase their curiosity but when you keep them aware, making them understand the spiritual, emotional and psychological implications of the topic, it makes them less prone to dabble into it. 5) Be friends with your children : You are not just a parent. Be their friend. Someone they can confide even their deepest secrets without the fear of being judged. E.g. their sexual challenges, peer pressure etc. Discuss with them, laugh with them, play with them, go out with them, a...

1) Do not impose your will on them : Sometimes you have to allow your children to make their own choices and decisions. Even if they make mistakes, they will learn from it. You will then use it as an opportunity to sit down with them and talk with them concerning their choices and the consequences. Don’t always mandate your children to go your way. Simply do your part by teaching them what is right and wrong using the Bible as your basis, commend them to God and let Him lead them. God is our ultimate example. He doesn’t impose His will on us that was why He gave us a freewill but He before that He had laid bare before us right and wrong, life and death but had instructed us to choose life. Do same for your children. If you don’t, your children may turn out rebellious and hypocritical. Once they are outside your watch, they become something else. Could this be the reason why most Pastors children lead double lives because their parents are trying so hard to impose their expectations as...

In raising our children we ought to be careful so that they do not turn out rebellious, hypocritical or ungodly. When we as parents are high handed, imposing and unloving to our children, there is a probability that we will miss it in inculcating the true values while bringing them up. So what do we do? Let’s look at these tips: 1) Love your children : It won’t do any harm to constantly tell them ‘I love you’ and show it. A cuddle , an embrace, a smile daily reminds them that they are special and that they mean so much to you. It keeps them connected to you. You would not want your children to distance themselves from you, do you? 2) Pray for them : This is a very important and powerful habit. You take your time to speak into their lives, bless them and frame their future through your prayers. God sees your dependence on Him, your trust in what He is able to do in your children’s lives and I am so sure of one thing: God never fails. So, be persistent in praying for your children and ...
