May 8, 2020

Senior pastor of Living Faith Church AKA Winners Chaepl, Bishop David Oyedepo has yet again kicked against the continuous closure of churches across the country due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Some days back, the clergyman kicked against the Federal Government allowing markets to open while keeping churches shut.

At the church’s headquarters in Otta, Ogun state earlier this morning, Oyedepo declared that churches are now open and that anyone who is against this will die for it.

“The doors to churches across Nations are again declared opened this morning. Can I tell you this? Hunger is far more devastating than any virus that will ever visit the earth.

It kills silently. There is no vaccine for hunger. There is no medical solution to hunger.

Hunger has no treatment than to have food and Spiritual famine is far more devastating.

That is what the devil is looking for but he has failed. The church is back on its feet. Anyone who hates to see that dies for it.

The church of Christ on the earth is liberated. Spiritual famine shall not have its way.

Can I tell the world, no one has the answer to a problem like Jesus” he said

“Even at 80 my honeypot will still be available for men to touch” – Popular Yoruba actress says

By

May 8, 2020

Budding Nollywood actress who hails from Benin, Modupeola Eniola Odunsi has opened up on the plans she has for her honeypot till even when she clocks 80.

The script interpreter revealed this following the many scandals trailing her after she granted an interview to newsman, Gbolahan Adetayo.

She also revealed that her type of man must be the one that can last for hours on bed.

She says,

“I wonder why people love to pick interest in other people’s life and ignore theirs. For crying out loud, I am an adult and I know what is right for me. I don’t owe anybody any explanation of how I live my life. My own food might be your poison but don’t condemn it.”

“The last time the interviewer asked me about my choice of man, I told him that my ideal man must be the type that have the fear of God, the one who is capable of handling and satisfy me when we are playing rough on bed. I don’t need a man that will not last for a minute around me. This is because I don’t know how to double date or sleep around, which is one of the reasons, I am still single and I will not run beyond my shadow. Any man who must have me as his wife must be ready for a marathon race on bed.”

“Between sleeping around with different men and having an active one at home, which one is more better? I pray to God to give me the strength, even when I clock 80 years, my honeypot will still be available for him if he’s in need of it. I read the comments on social media and on several blogs and I shook my head about this vagabonds denting celebrity’s images on social media. Of course I can’t marry a man who will be depending on my purse alone, he must also be okay financially in his own little way”, she said.

Modupe Odunsi featured in several movies and produced blockbuster flicks like Omo Iya Awusa, The Secret and Obsessions.

Big Brother Naija reality TV star, Tacha and Nigerian rapper, Omoniyi Temidayo Raphael, better known as Zlatan, look like they’ve finally made peace with themselves following an exchange they had on social media recently.

It should be recalled that the pair have not necessarily been in good terms for a while now since the serial entrepreneur and vlogger was disqualified from the reality TV show last year.

Their animosity started when after Tacha was disqualified from the show, Zlatan made a video mocking her and referenced her ‘body odour‘ which had been a topic of conversation in and out of the Big Brother House before her disqualification.

#Tacha #TachaTitans #BBNaija when should this drop ? pic.twitter.com/UWsLCgOs3z

— #ZLATAN20 (@Zlatan_Ibile) September 27, 2019

Fans of the brand influencer, who call themselves “Titans” took to hitting heavy at the rapper, dragging him by the neck on the streets of social media and even made sure the rapper lost the Headies’ “Next Rated” award to Rema, by voting massively for the latter.

Well, a quick move to yesterday, it looks like the rapper extended Tacha an olive branch, as he took to his page to congratulate her on her new endorsement.

“TACHA U NO GO KILL PERSON. Congrats” He tweeted.

Quoting his tweet, Tacha replied:

“Kapaichumarimarichopaco Thank you, congrats to you too”

So it’s safe to say that the duo have buried the hatchet once and for all.

The Presidency has given an explanation as to why the Federal Government is not giving funds to states to fight the Coronavirus pandemic.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina who talked on a radio programme accused some Governors of prioritizing the quest for money over the need to overcome the disease in the state.

He went on to reveal why the Federal Government provided funds to the Lagos state government to fight the outbreak of the disease in the state.

Adesina said;

“The Federal Government assisted Lagos State with N10 billion for its commitment and only because it was satisfied that the government of Lagos started on the right footing, rolling out proper plans and mobilising its fund to fight the pandemic.

“Lagos State was only scouting for technical, manpower and facility supports, not financial support.

“The Buhari government felt obliged to lend a financial hand not because it was asked to, but because it was convinced it should.”

Coronavirus Is Found in Semen of Covid-19 Patients ; new research shows the virus could be sexually transmitted.

May 7, 2020

The new coronavirus has been found in the semen of infected individuals, according to Chinese researchers, raising the prospect that the virus could be sexually transmitted, the wall street journal reports.

Patients in China who donated samples several days after their virus symptoms had faded were found to show evidence of Covid-19.

One of the patients in the study, at Shangqui Municipal Hospital in Henan Province, tested positive for Covid-19 in his semen 16 days after coming down with the virus and three days after clinical recovery.

“Abstinence or condom use might be considered as preventative means for these patients,” the study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, said.

Public health officials earlier warned people not to have sex if they have symptoms of coronavirus, but this was to avoid transmission via droplets coming out of infected people’s noses and mouths and entering bodies of other people via their mouths, noses or eyes.

However, the result of the new research has led officials to believe that the virus could also be transmitted via the semen.

May 7, 2020

A video making the rounds on social media shows the horrifying moment a 79-year-old woman was pulled out from a grave alive, three days after she was buried by her own son.

A 79-year-old disabled woman who was allegedly buried alive by her son has miraculously survived after being trapped in the pit for nearly three days, authorities have said.

The paralyzed mother, known as Wang Mou, was rescued on Tuesday, May 5, after the woman’s daughter-in-law reported her missing.

The 58-year-old son, known as Ma Mou, has been arrested and faces an attempted murder charge, according to the police. An investigation on the incident is underway.

Police in Jingbian County revealed that at 9am on Tuesday morning, the suspect’s partner Zhang Mou went to the Xinzhuang Police Station to report her husband had taken her mother-in-law out on a trolley around 8pm on May 2, but she had not returned.

After bringing Ma in for questioning, investigators said he admitted dumping the elderly woman at an abandoned tomb in a forest south of Jingbian County.

After confirming the location, police immediately excavated the gravesite, and halfway through they heard a faint cry for help. They surprisingly found the paralyzed mother still alive after nearly three days without food or water.

She was rushed to a hospital and is currently in a stable condition.
