I’ll be paying 3 children’s school fees this term and by God’s grace, this is only the starting point. Please send me a message only if you are a single mother: Unmarried, Divorced, Separated, or Widowed. Tell me a little about yourself. I’ll pick based on my discretion. Please feel free to tag anyone who you know may need this, and if they aren’t on social media, you may send a message on their behalf. P.S I will be paying directly into the school’s account. God bless you ❤️”

Social media commentator, Reno Omokri has suggested that the King James Bible, popular amongst Christians, was not accurately written.
Read his opinion below:
“One of the biggest mistakes Christians make is to think that the King James Version of the Bible is an exact or evening equivalent translation of the original Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek Scriptures. Not true. Not true at all.
“The King James Version is similar to a version of one of many sides of an argument. When people argue, they tell their ‘own side’ of what transpired. As an independent and objective bystander, you will be foolish if you hear only one side of the argument and conclude based on that.
“Sadly, that is what many people do with the King James Version. And this has led to a situation where their faith is built on lies, half-truths and inadvertent errors by the translators.
“There are actually people who have said, ‘If King James Version was good enough for the early church, it is good enough for me!”. Such is the ignorance of many so-called Christians that they are unaware that the KJV was established in 1611, more than 1500 years after the ‘early church’. Many people you know, actually think that Peter, John and Paul, among with many of the Apostles, wrote the KJV. I am not joking.”
“One of the Scriptural verses that the KJV got either deliberately or inadvertently wrong is Isaiah 45:11 which reads in that version as follows: “Thus saith the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.” Based on that, many genuine believers have been commanding God. Let me put it this way, it is actually stupid to command God. And the original Hebrew Scriptures never said such.
“The truth, which is clear if you read the original Hebrew, or even if you read the preceding and succeeding verses, is that God speaking through Isaiah was showing disappointment in people who were questioning His judgment. The preceding verse (Isaiah 45:10) says: “Woe to the one who says to a father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you brought to b
“The truth, which is clear if you read the original Hebrew, or even if you read the preceding and succeeding verses, is that God speaking through Isaiah was showing disappointment in people who were questioning His judgment.
“The preceding verse (Isaiah 45:10) says: “Woe to the one who says to a father, ‘What have you begotten?’ or to a mother, ‘What have you brought to birth?’” The verse before that (Isaiah 45:9) says: “Does the clay say to the potter, ‘What are you making?’ Does your work say, ‘The potter has no hands’?” Now think. After giving out such warnings as was given in verses 9 and 10, why would God now ask His creations, you and I, to command Him about the work of His hands? The answer is that He did not.
“Almost every other translation gives the right translation to Isaiah 45:11. I will give four below and you can compare them with the KJV: “”This is what the LORD says– the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: Concerning things to come, do you question me about my children, or give me orders about the work of my hands?”-NIV “Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and the one who formed him: “Ask me of things to come; will you command me concerning my children and the work of my hands?”-ESV “This is what the LORD says— the Holy One of Israel and your Creator: “Do you question what I do for my children? Do you give me orders about the work of my hands?” There are two verses in the King James Version which have always troubled me and made me question my faith as a youth. Those verses are 2 Kings 2:23-24 which read: “And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth litt.”

Recounting his ordeal, the businessman who was arrested on July 19, 2019 in Asaba, claimed he was detained in handcuff until September 22, 2019 by the DSS who were waiting for Hanan Buhari who was schooling in the UK at that time to clear him but she never did.

Okolie who insisted that his detention contravened sections 35 and 34 of the 1999 Constitution, asked the court to declare it as an abuse of his fundamental human rights.
Apostle Chris Omashola reveals rich “sugar mummies and Lekki big girls” are sending him nudes and begging him for sex after Naira Marley reshared his sextape.
Apostle Chris Omashola has revealed that rich sugar mummies and Lekki big girls are sending him nude photos and begging him to have sex with them after Naira Marley reshared his leaked sextape to spite him.
It all began when Chris Omashola said God revealed to him that Naira Marley is a demon sent to derail the destinies of young Nigerians. Hitting back, Naira Marley brought up Chris Omashola’s sextape with his former fiancee that was leaked in November 2018.
The long forgotten sextape began trending again and Chris Omashola said this caused women to troop into his inbox to proposition him for sex, while promising him material wealth if he agrees.
Apostle Chris Omashola took to Twitter to warn those propositioning him for sex. He said he’s now a new man in Christ and that no amount of money or promise of wealth and houses would succeed in making him sin against God again.
He also warned that he will release the names of the women if they don’t stop.
Screenshots obtained by LIB shows some of the messages allegedly sent by rich women begging to have sex with Chris Omashola.

A Nigerian Doctor has taken to his social media page to explain why dogs sometimes bark at night.
The Nigerian Doctor with the handle @maxvayshia opined that it is not unconnected with the spiritual world as the presence of spirits of the dead cause the dogs to bark. (Creepy yeah)
His tweets read ;
Sometimes your dogs bark at night, u look but see nothing but they see the departed souls, the dead… because dogs see at a much higher wavelength than you. Cos of this fact, the dead actually usurp the vision of ur dogs (and cats) and watch u through their eyes, which means….
Sometimes, at night, ur dogs stare at you but it’s actually not ur dog or cat, it’s the dead. They see you tru their eyes.
As a matter of fact, many of d people who you buy things from, the people u walk past on the road at night, YOUR UBER DRIVER, the bike men, many are dead…
The people who u buy things from at night. Many are dead but because of the presence of some mediumistic persons in d vicinity, their astral bodies (which is no different from ur own body) can be made tangible to you.
The dead are everywhere. Those doors that slam, curtains that shift, they are mostly the activity of the dead and departed ones. They are always close to you.
Two years after former Governor of Lagos state Akinwunmi Ambode commissioned a statue of Afrobeat legend Fela Kuti at Allen Avenue in Ikeja, the monument has been pulled by the state’s government.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s spokesperson, Gboyega Akosile who confirmed that the statue has been pulled down, said the roundabout where the statue was situated made the list of four roundabouts identified by the current administration as the major cause of gridlock in the state.
Other roundabouts that causes gridlock in the state were said to be located at Ikotun, Lekki-Epe expressway and Maryland. Akosile also told newsmen that the artwork will be relocated to a spot where it won’t cause traffic jam.
