US-based Apostle Williams makes shocking revelation, reveals winner of today’s elections

A United Kingdom-based preacher, Apostle ATB Williams says President Muhammadu Buhari is God’s last chance for Nigeria, stressing that, many Christian leaders chose to deceive people because of what they were gaining from previous administrations.

Apostle Williams who says he has never benefited from any Nigerian government told his congregation that God showed him that Buhari will win despite concerted efforts against his candidature in 2019.

Many efforts have been made to rubbish the person of President Buhari including claims that he is attempting to Islamize Nigeria. Others claimed he was cloned following his illness in 2017, to the extent that he was widely labeled ‘Jubril of Sudan’.

“They mislead Nigerians to pray against God’s anointed because he is a Muslim,” he said in a sermon to his church congregation.

“When the Holy Spirit told me that the man will rule Nigeria, all of them were saying the man will not, before the election of the man,” he said.

“I have no businesses in Nigeria, you know, I have no sharing in the government money or in all those stuff in Nigeria. So I have no reason to be biased. The Holy Spirit told me the man would rule Nigeria and He showed me 4 years for the man to rule Nigeria and bring Nigeria back to its position but the liars who called themselves Christian leaders in Nigeria lied to the people only because they had participated in ungodly act with the politicians.

Apostle Williams added that, “In a short term their judgment will begin. I am telling you what I have seen. Some people will mourn and weep when they open their Pandora’s boxes are out.

“Listen to me, because of that, Christians in Nigeria got biased instead of them to pray for their Cyrus they kept their mouth shut or they wish him evil. But the man is sick and the spirit of the man his crying who shall help me and the Christians God sent there have been lied to so they turn against him.

“Therefore the people who rule in darkness afflicted him. The one who have the authority to free his affliction, Satan turned them against him. They will answer with their life in eternity,” he said.

“Listen to me, Cyrus was ungodly, God said to Cyrus I will lift up your hand to subdue nations, I will open before double double doors so that doors shall not be shut against you. He said I will break down the gate of bronze and cut through the bars of iron because you let my people go.

“Buhari is God’s last chance for Nigeria. if Nigeria miss it, I am sorry. Many years ago God took me to the future of Nigeria and showed me.

Apostle Williams said he was open to any challenge from any man of God who claims to have heard differently from God. “I’m going to Nigeria next year to teach and talk to them. I want anybody who thinks he can hear God to come and talk to me publicly, unedited.”

Apostle Alfred Williams is the general overseer of Christ Faith Tabernacle, a church that he started in September 1989 after a revelation from God.

As of today the church has been planted in various Nations spanning through four continents.

‘I once had sex in a plane’ – Ghanaian actress, Ella Mensah reveals

Ella Mensah reveals

Ghanaian actress, Ella Mensah has revealed that she’s had sex in a plane.

Ella made this revelation in a recent interview with SunNews, the actress said, “I once had sex in a plane. It was the most uncomfortable thing I have ever done. But at the same time, it was so much fun.”

The actress also recounted an encounter she had with armed robbers in Lagos and the promising relationships she lost to save her career.

“In 2018, I almost lost my life. Armed robbers attacked me on my way home from a movie location in Lagos. It was scary! But I’m grateful to God for saving my life and for blessing me afterwards.

Another unforgettable experience was when I lost two relationships because of acting. Both men had problems with me playing some roles and eventually asked me to quit acting, which I refused. One even asked me to choose between him and my career. Obviously, I chose my career. Most African men are extremely jealous and can’t stand another man kissing their woman, even in a movie. It’s sad though; I guess it’s what it is” she said.

How I was raped by my tenant — Actress Foluke Daramola

Actress Foluke Daramola

Busty Actress Foluke Daramola has opened up about how she was raped by her neighbor.

Speaking with Punchng.com, she said;

“I always enlighten my daughter about how some men can be when it comes to sex. Even when I am not around her, she always cautions men when they try to touch her in a way she is not comfortable with. She tells me when she feels harassed by a man. She is out of the country at the moment, and people always call me to ask me how I trained her.

Actress Foluke Daramola

“In my days as a young woman, I couldn’t discuss sex with my mum; even till now, I still cannot do that because of the orientation I had as a young girl. If my daughter should get deflowered today, she will tell me because we are friends. I started discussing sex education with my daughter when she was six; I didn’t feel it was too early because she had a rapid growth.

“I was raped by my tenant because he thought I was older than my actual age. I am comfortable with my daughter being around men because I have educated her,” she said.

How a politician paid £2 million to have the virginity of this 23-year-old model (Photos)

A model who sold her virginity for more than £2million will reportedly then ‘rent herself’ out to the man as a girlfriend – in exchange for a £30,000 allowance.

The person who will have sex with Mahbuba Mammadzada, 23, for the first time is a politician from Tokyo.

But Mahbuba, who goes by the name of Maria, says she is yet to speak to him and has only seen a photograph of him.

The consummation will reportedly take place at a hotel in Germany, where selling sex is legal.

Maria will then continue to meet up with the millionaire politician as she plans to ‘rent herself’ to him as a girlfriend for a monthly £30,000 allowance, on top of the fee for her virginity, according to reports.

She told the Daily Star: “Although I have to meet with him more often (in return for the allowance), I like the idea of being ‘rented as a girlfriend’ if a man financially supports me monthly with a generous budget.”

Maria, whose second highest bidder was a famous footballer, said: “I feel great. I am excited and looking forward to it. It will certainly be a wonderful experience.

“Even though I am already very successful with modelling, earning so much money in such a short time is a dream come true.”

Maria added: “We haven’t spoken. But the agency told me he thinks I’m hot.

“I just think being the first one is special for a man. And since I’m an international model, I’m sure he sees me as a status symbol. I can deal with it.”

Giving money to a girlfriend makes her a prostitute – Reno Omokri

Reno Omokri, has again taken to his Twitter page to dish out to his followers his usual #RenosNuggets and this time, he talked about the acts of giving and it’s consequences.

According to Reno, men have no obligation to giving money to his girlfriend. He also stated that giving to a girl you sleep with makes her more appropriately a prostitute, not a ‘friend’

“It is a lie that no one has become poor by giving. Giving can make you rich, depending on who you give to. For instance, you can never be poor if you give to God, your parents and the poor. However, there are very many men who became poor by giving to girlfriends. A man has no obligation to look after his girlfriend. Giving money to a girl you sleep with makes her more appropriately a prostitute, not a ‘friend’ #RenosNuggets”

R Kelly arrested

American Singer, R. Kelly was taken into custody after arriving Friday night at a Chicago police precinct, hours after authorities announced multiple charges of aggravated sexual abuse involving four victims, including at least three between the ages of 13 and 17.

Masculinity is not having 8 women twerking around you – Obama

Barack Obama has given his opinion concerning toxic masculinity by stating that a man doesn’t need to have 8 women twerking around him before he can be seen as a man.

Obama made this known at a recent panel with NBA champion Steph Curry.

When asked to define who a man is in relation to the LGBT community, the former US president said:

“Being a man, is first and foremost being a good human. And that means being responsible, being reliable, working hard, being kind, being respectful, being compassionate.”

Obama didn’t hold back his opinion when the open discussion turned towards toxic masculinity.

“The notion that somehow, defining yourself as a man is dependent on are you able to put someone down instead of lifting them up, are you able to dominate as opposed to support. That is an old view. And a view that, thankfully, I see young people rejecting.”

He went on to state that male confidence is not by having 8 women twerking around you.

“If you are very confident, about your sexuality, you don’t have to have eight women around you twerking. I mean, why are you? You seem stressed you gotta be acting that way. ‘Cause I’ve got one woman who I’m very happy with. Right? So…and she’s a strong woman.”

Google Glitch: One Dollar Is Not N184

Google Currency is currently showing that one dollar is going for N184, but this is just a glitch in Google’s software or Algorithm.

The Central Bank of Nigeria sold the greenback to bureau de change (BDC) operators at N357 per dollar on Friday.

Musa Ibrahim, a BDC operator, who spoke to TheCable from Lagos Island, said he bought $20,000 from the CBN at 357 per dollar.

“We collected from CBN today at the rate of N357, and each BDC operator is entitled to $20, 000,” he said.

Two members of staff at Google, who spoke off the record, confirmed to TheCable that this was just a bug, that is currently being fixed by the search giant.

According to Bloomberg currency rate, the dollar is currently trading at N361.8, with the local currency gaining N1.75 against the greenback.

Nigeria goes to the poll in less than 12 hours after this glitch, driving speculations and jokes on social media on how the incumbent may want to turn the economy around overnight.

While some fear that their stacked dollars may have lost tremendous value, others are celebrating a rise in the value of the naira, but many are aware this is just a temporary glitch.

Whatever the case is, the dollar is still trading at 358 to 360 at the foreign exchange market.

Aisha Buhari tells Nigerians ‘Choose between wealth Poverty’ when voting

Aisha Buhari explains

The wife of the President, Aisha Muhammadu Buhari, has sparked up an Uproar online for Nigerians to choose between poverty and wealth in tomorrow’s presidential election.

Aisha Buhari, while presenting empowerment packs to 1,250 women and youths from the six area councils of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja, on Thursday asked Nigerians to “decide whether the poor should become poorer and the rich richer or a society where the gap begins to be reduced.”
Aisha Buhari tells Nigerians
In a statement by her media adviser Adebisi, Olumide Ajayi, quoted Mrs. Buhari, as saying that “poverty is one of the indices that encourage people to embrace vices like terrorism, kidnapping, and begging.

Aisha statement has since been met with criticisms and diverse reaction from Nigerians online.

While some Nigerians on social media identified Buhari, APC as ’Poverty’, others identified Atiku as ‘Wealth’

Here are some reactions:

@Olarounye “You are right Madam, I chose wealth, the kind poverty your husband brought upon us is so excruciating, Atiku is Wealth.”

@Chizybae “This woman already knew that buhari has led us to world poverty Capital, and comes to tell us to choose wealth or poverty, probably everyone wants wealth, thus indirectly telling Nigerians to vote Atiku and kick poverty Buhari out! She is a genius.”

@Ray_vicsson “What I love about Aisha Buhari is that she always talk in parables. She knows fully well that her husband Buhari represents the poverty she’s talking about. Nigerian people has been living in abject poverty since her husband took the mantle of leadership. So vote wisely.”

@ForaNewNigeria1 “This woman has given Nigerians enough clues. She has done her own campaigns and voting. We’ll have ourselves to blame if we don’t heed her warnings.The choice is yours to make.”

@Sundayodc2018 “If you know you know, Aisha has finally make it clear to Nigerians. Vote for Atiku.”

@Ezediniliu “We have made our choice, Atiku. We are tired of poverty, job losses, killings, etc.”

@Godsongoodnews1 “Something I love about this woman, she always comes up with truth .Nigerians know where they’re now and they know where they’re wish to be tomorrow. Say No to Buhari and his poverty APC, Vote Atiku for wealth.”

@EmanuelUchenna “I so much like this woman, I wish she is the one contesting for this election. Poverty is the next name of APC.”

@Bless_jerryp “Aisha always win my heart. You have proven once again that you are not made just for the “kitchen and the other room”

@Juliusdennis7 “Madam, I now know the difference between poverty and wealth.

Buhari is poverty and I reject it. Poverty must go.”

@mydins2014 “Buhari and Atiku, Poverty and wealth: Let those with wisdom understand Mama Aisha.”

@Idokojan “With this, first lady have just taken pity on hungry and impoverished Nigerians. And she has sincerely told us to go vote Atiku. I respect you ma! You have indirectly told us this long ago by being reluctant in campaigning for Buhari. We’ll surely vote Atiku ma.”

Nigerian Prince arrested for scamming hundreds of job seekers of $54,000 in New York gets no-jail sentence

Osmond Eweka, a member of the Benin royal family who was in 2018 arrested with his co-defendant, Kamel McKay for scamming 250 job seekers and raking in thousands of dollars from their unsuspecting victims has been served with a no-jail sentence.

The 31-year-old appeared at the Manhattan Supreme Court where he was given a no-jail sentence, known in legal parlance as a conditional discharge.

According to NY Post, he previously copped to two counts of scheme to defraud and paid $50,000 in restitution as part of the sweetheart plea deal struck in December with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.

“Mr. Eweka chose to do what was best for his family and his newborn son,” said his lawyer, Thomas Kenniff. “He is pleased with the court’s decision to sentence him without jail time and now looks forward to resuming a law-abiding life.”

His co-defendant, Kamel McKay, pleaded guilty to the same charges in exchange for one year in jail.

The defendants allegedly targeted job seekers on indeed.com, promising to find them work, including as front-desk receptionists and hotel housekeepers, in exchange for a fee of between $300 and $700, court records show.

After interviewing the victims and collecting their fee, the alleged fraudsters would send them to work sites, where they were turned away by employers who weren’t expecting them. The confused job seekers were then unable to get in touch with Eweka, McKay or their bogus employment agencies.

The duo pocketed $54,000 in fees and didn’t provide a single job, according to prosecutors.

Eweka, who married an attorney in 2016 in an elaborate wedding ceremony in Nigeria, allegedly operated the bogus employment agency scam out of an Empire State Building office under the alias Sean Jackson.

Meghan Markle spent N150 million on baby-shower

Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle reportedly spent $430,000 – which is N150 million – on her lavish baby-shower in New York.

The seven-months pregnant member of the British Royalty touched down in New York City on Friday to attend a baby shower being thrown for her by her nearest and dearest pals after spending Valentine’s Day with Prince Harry.


Meghan’s baby shower took place in The Mark Hotel Grand Penthouse Suite, which boasts gorgeous views of Central Park.

She then left the US by private jet on Wednesday night from Teterboro, New Jersey, on a plane that costs $125,000 per trip. Between lavish gifts from friends, to the cost of her Royal Protection security and extravagant dinners, the royal’s week in the city amounted to $430,896.98.

Senior chief pilot filmed sleeping at controls of plane (Video)

A senior chief pilot has been filmed sleeping in the cockpit of his Boeing 747 – the pilot, who has nearly 20 years of flight experience, was captured in the act by his co-pilot.

The video shows the chief officer with his eyes closed and his head down as he sits in the main seat of the cockpit.

He has not been named but he is said to be the airline’s most senior Boeing 747 pilot, and mainly flies the Tokyo, Okinawa, Seoul and Hong Kong routes.

The chief pilot is also an instructor in charge of simulations at the China Airlines Flight Training Center. The video surfaced just days after China Airlines pilots ended a seven-day strike over issues including pilot fatigue and long working hours.

Taiwan’s flag carrier, which has its headquarters in Taoyuan International Airport, has responded to the incident saying the clip was filmed before the most recent strikes took place.

Meanwhile, the unnamed pilot has received “adequate punishment” for ignoring flight safety procedures, a statement from China Airlines said.

China Airlines has also suggested the co-pilot who filmed and released the video may also be punished for choosing to record the clip instead of waking his senior officer up.
