Daddy Freeze calls out MFM over alleged Antichrist doctrine

Controversial OAP, Daddy Freeze has called out Mountain of Fire and Ministries authorities over its doctrine, and he’s described it as ‘Antichrist-like’.

The Free The Sheeple leader alleged that the act of praying for a member’s enemies to die is an Antichrist doctrine, as Jesus Christ instructed Christians to pray for their enemies to prosper and even lend them money whenever they need it.

He wrote;

Dear MFM, Kindly consider the following scriptures before your next prayer session.

Please if you pray for your member’s enemies to die, STOP IT! Instead, teach your congregation to pray for their enemies to prosper and encourage them to lend their enemies money whenever they need it, expecting nothing in return, as Christ instructed us to.

Anything outside this is an Antichrist doctrine! ~FRZ

The woman was found dead at the base of an apartment block in St Petersburg on the night of July 5 during what witnesses described as a wild party.

The woman landed head-first on the asphalt and died instantly, local media reported, but the man survived after his fall was broken by her body and nearby bushes.

Witnesses told local media that the partially clothed man then got up and went back to rejoin the party.

Comedian Aphrican Ace Buys A House In US (Photos)

Comedian Aphrican Ace Buys

Instagram comedian, formerly known as Aphrican Ape now Aphrican Ace, has been marked the latest Nigerian entertainer to own a house in the US.

Aphrican Ace shared a photo of his new property, sharing it, he recalled how he was mocked when he bought a Range Rover in a rented apartment 2 years ago.

He wrote;

Everything happens in due time! I remember when I bought this car 2 years ago, some people said it’s dumb to buy a range rover when you live in an apartment…which makes sense to a certain extent, but NEVER judge someone’s decisions if you don’t know their options! Anyways, 2 years later, I can finally park this Range Rover in front of my own Home! To God Be The Glory!! Don’t let social media people rush you with their perceptions of how YOU should live YOUR life!

Vera Sidika speaks on reverting to being dark, denies being broke and reveals her source of wealth

Kenyan socialite, Vera Sidika has debunked claims of reverting to being black, because she is broke and can’t maintain her skin again.

Vera Sidika speaks

Speaking on Clouds FM, she revealed her source of wealth as she not only owns a sprawling mansion in an urban neighbourhood in Kenya, but also a Range Rover.

“Some (people) claimed that I was broke so I couldn’t afford to maintain myself, I have businesses honey so I am good…It was a one-off thing (the skin lightening procedure) so people who are saying that I’m broke maybe think that I get to do this every day but it’s not the case.”

The Kenyan socialite revealed that she makes money from club appearances, her detox tea Veetox and the Vera Sidika Beauty Parlour she has been running for a year now.

Vera Sidika speaks

“Making club appearances is a side hustle, I also have Veetox and a beauty Parlour. Veetox is really big because I have no competition. Veetox gets sold out every other time and I don’t even push it as much because it markets itself through word of mouth. I sell it not only in Kenya but other parts of Africa. I have in Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Nigeria and I’m getting into Ghana soon,” Vera said.

“When I’m in Kenya, my club appearance fee is different from Tanzania, Uganda or going to China or Malaysia or even the USA. Because when I travel to America to host an event I consider it’s like 25-hour flight, so that’s like a whole day wasted, then you just won’t just do the club appearance and leave you have to rest for like 3 days. International shows are more expensive. My international fee is from 6,000 dollars (Ksh600, 000) upwards, the promoter purchases a first class ticket and books me into a 5-star hotel. When it’s a show in East Africa I am a bit more flexible since it’s about an hour’s flight so I charge at least 3,000 dollars and locally in Nairobi I charge 2,000 dollars,” she told Clouds FM.

Actress Lydia Forson reveals why women buy charms to attract men

Ghanaian actress, Lydia Forson has revealed why women buy charms to attract men, according to a post on her social media page.

The Ghanaian actress in her tweet which came after sex-charm vendor Mama Gee was arrested, blamed it all on patriarchy.

Lydia Forson reveals

Her tweet reads ;

Patriarchy is why girls are inserting things, bathing with concoctions and putting “scopatumana” into men’s food to keep them, take money from them, and steal them from other women. When a society makes women feel like a man is all they have to live for, this happens.

Patient on admission commits suicide at University of Benin Teaching Hospital

The University of Benin Teaching Hospital was thrown into confusion last weekend after a patient who was on admission at the Accident and Emergency ward, committed suicide.

According to reports, the male patient was waiting to see a doctor when he suddenly became wild and stabbed himself to death with a broken louvre beside his bed.

“The man suddenly became wild and broke a louvre beside his window and stabbed himself to death. His wife was not around. She went out to buy something outside. There was blood everywhere. We were lucky not to have been injured” another patient in the ward said


Confirming the incident, Mr Joshua Uwaila, the spokesman for the hospital, said the unfortunate incident happened at about 10pm.

“An unfortunate incident happened on Saturday night 13th July, 2019 at about 10:30 pm when a young man who was a patient at the male medical ward of our hospital (diagnosis not disclosed for confidentiality sake), suddenly broke a louvre and stabbed himself. All efforts to resuscitate him proved abortive as he was certified dead at 11:00 pm” he said

It was further reported that the remains of the deceased has been deposited in a morgue while an autopsy is expected to be carried out soon.

Two men arrested for raping, impregnating four schoolgirls in Abuja

Two suspects have been arrested by operatives of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) for allegedly raping and impregnating four schoolgirls.

The suspected were identified as 41-year-old Festus Femi, an installation Engineer and 51-year-old Luka Gabriel Ekundayo, Bursar of Government Secondary School Dangara, Abaji, Abuja.

Femi, accused of raping three school students of Government Secondary School, was arrested by operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and referred to NAPTIP for further investigations and prosecution, while Ekundayo was arrested by the agency’s officials for allegedly drugging, raping and impregnating a 15-year-old student.

Two men arrested

Two victims of the rape incident said they were all taken to Festus’ house by their classmate who claimed he was her uncle. He reportedly threatened to kill them if they told anyone about the incident. Corroborating the accounts of the two victims, the third victim, a 15-year-old girl confessed to introducing the other two victims to the suspect. According to her, Festus was her former neighbour who usually gave her N500 each time they had sex. She also revealed that she has brought 5 underage girls to him, and he paid her N300 for each.

Two men arrested
Speaking to newsmen on the arrest of Luke Gabriel Ekundayo, NAPTIP’s Head of Press and Public Relations Unit, Stella Nezan said;

“The suspect, Luke Gabriel Ekundayo, from Ilorin, Kwara State, was the victim’s guardian in school, and she spent short holidays in his house. The victim, a senior secondary three (SS3) student took ill in Mr. Ekundayo’s house, and upon taking some drugs administered to her by the suspect, she passed out. On waking up, she saw bloodstains and said she felt uneasy, but did not suspect that the school Bursar, whom her grandmother handed her over to, for protection, could do anything sinister to her.

“The victim, an orphan who was on scholarship, was threatened by the suspect into having sex with him continuously, or he would tell her sponsors to stop paying her school fees. The rape continued until the victim got pregnant”.

#BBNaija: Ella said Tacha has body odor or mouth odor — KimOprah

#BBNaija: Khafi In Tears Because Gedoni Kept His Distance From Her Since KimOprah Left

The Matchmaker

During her conversation with Omashola, Khafi revealed her sadness about the distance between herself and her self-selected Pepper Dem partner – Gedoni. In his response, Omashola said he noticed the distant communication between the pair and had told Gedoni to address the issue with Khafi. This conversation prompted Khafi to address the space in their situationship.

What Stirred Up The Trouble?

Khafi addressed the trouble in their ship by asking Gedoni why the pair had been distant since Sunday. This was evident when Khafi was seen struggling to memorise her lyrics in today’s Pepsi Know Da Lyrics Task – and while other Housemates helped her get through the struggle, Gedoni was nowhere to be found. To her, he just wasn’t there for her.

To Khafi, she felt her answer to Ebuka’s question about her feelings for Gedoni made him scared and caused this distance. We reckon it wouldn’t be easy to forget the moment Khafi was caught agreeing with Ebuka that Gedoni had arrested her heart. Biggie’s cupid must be doing a great job in the House.

“It felt like you only used me to get over KimOprah and now that she’s gone, you’re done playing the game”, said Khafi as she revealed her fears.

Sober Gedoni

In his defence, Gedoni said he has always had issues in his past relationships as a result of getting easily misunderstood. He also blamed the rain for his moody behaviour in the House and promised he didn’t keep his distance intentionally. Is this a good enough excuse to keep the stormy weather away?

Tears and Cuddles

“I won’t make you feel that way again”, said Gedoni, while he tried explaining the reason for the rift between them. Emotional Khafi burst out in tears as she kept on revealing her fears about getting emotionally attached to him – which birthed a cuddling moment between the pair.

The new album titled “The Lion King: The Gift” features Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Yemi Alade, Mr Eazi, Burna Boy and Tekno. Shatta Wale was the only Ghanaian artiste featured in the album.

According to Beyonce, she wanted a collection of songs from different genres that express what she’s trying to pass across.

“This is a sonic cinema. This is a new experience of storytelling. I wanted to do more than find a collection of songs that were inspired by the film. It is a mixture of genres and collaboration that isn’t one sound. It is influenced by everything from R&B, pop, hip hop and Afro Beat”, she said.

“I wanted to put everyone on their own journey to link the storyline. Each song was written to reflect the film’s storytelling that gives the listener a chance to imagine their own imagery while listening to a new contemporary interpretation.

“It was important that the music was not only performed by the most interesting and talented artists but also produced by the best African producers. Authenticity and heart were important to me”, Beyonce stated

Elderly couple die on the same day after 71 years of marriage

Elderly couple die

An elderly couple from Georgia who were together for 71 years have died just 12 hours apart on the same day.

Herbert DeLaigle, 94, and Marilyn Frances DeLaigle, 88, got married in 1948 and died on Friday at a hospital in Waynesboro. According to WRDW Herbert died at 2.20am, and Marilyn Frances died exactly 12 hours later.

The couple met in a Waynesboro cafe back in 1947 where Marilyn was working.

‘Frances worked at a little cafe we had in Waynesboro named White Way Cafe. I kept seeing her going in and out, in and out and I had my eyes set on her. And then I finally got up the nerve to ask her if she would go out with me sometime’ Herbert DeLaigle said in a 2018 interview with WRDW.

Marilyn DeLaigle went on to spend six years in Germany with her husband who served there during the Second World War. He served again in Korea and Vietnam before eventually retiring from the Army after 22 years of service. Together they had six children and a total of 16 grandchildren, 25 great-grandchildren and even three great-great-grandchildren. A funeral service was held for the DeLaigles on Monday this week.

“Karma is a bitch” – Wizkid’s second baby mama reacts after his third accuses him of domestic violence

Earlier today, we reported of how the third baby mama of Nigerian singer, Wizkid, Jada P accused him of being a violent partner as he’s being assaulting her over the years.

Jada P took to her page to share how she’d been covering up for the singer over the years despite the fact that he was abusing her in closed doors. She shared that she can’t take it anymore and so she had to out him.

It should be recalled that a while back, the singer’s first two baby mamas, Shola Ogudu and Binta Diallo had both taken to social media to call out the singer for being a deadbeat dad and at that time, Jada P was in his full support of the singer and against his baby mamas.

Now that it seems that she (Jada P) is fazed with somewhat the same fate as her peers, the singer’s second baby mama has subtly shaded her following her revelation of the singer’s misdemeanour.
