Danish authorities are investigating how the world’s most expensive bottle of vodka worth $1.3m was stolen from a bar.
According to Mail Online, the bottle of Russo-Baltique, the only one in the world was stolen from Cafe 33 bar in Copenhagen. The bottle was uninsured and on loan from the Russian businessman.
The bottle was reportedly decorated with 6.6lbs of gold, 6.6lbs of silver and a diamond-encrusted cap and was designed to look like a vintage car front.
The bar’s owner Brian Ingberg has offered a reward for anyone who can help find the perpetrators, who were caught on CCTV.
Police investigator Knud Hvass, told newsmen that both men were wearing baseball caps and gloves while one wore a hooded top and the other a sweatshirt.
It was also reported that the two men pulled their clothing over their faces in order to avoid being identified.
When we all thought the war of words between Davido and Caroline Danjuma was near over, we heard something in DJ ECool’s new song, and it was a subtle jab to Carolina again.
Recall, the DMW Boss had previously attacked her in his hit song, FIA, telling her to “save her drama’ after she accused him of knowing the cause of Tagbo’s death. But we felt the feud has been settled last year.
In Davido’s new song with Dj Ecool, Ada, Davido has called out the actress again.
The pre-chorus of ADA reads “Filomina, I know me now, you know say that was a f**king mistake. What of Carolina, that one na gold digger, chai, so me I no do again.”
The outlawed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has announced the official launch of Radio Nigeria Hausa Service.
A statement signed by the group’s publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, says the maiden daily broadcast of the radio will hit the airwaves on Saturday, January 6th this year by 7pm Nigerian time. It will broadcast on Short Wave 15110 KHz 19 Meter Band.
Emma Powerful boasted that the broadcast will have the widest coverage of any radio signal in Africa and that it will be received all over West, East and Southern Africa. It said every Hausa speaking community in Africa will be able to receive it.
“In our opinion, we feel it has become imperative to educate the poor masses of Northern Nigeria. The ruling class cleverly enslaved and impoverished ethnic populations of the North by keeping vital information and knowledge away from them. This information deficit is what Radio Nigeria Hausa Service has come to remedy.”
The group says the radio station will help bring out the hitherto hidden history of the North
“Enslaved minorities of Arewa North, brutally savaged by Fulani terrorist herdsmen, through this unbiased platform, will acquire the necessary education needed to liberate them from the suffocating stranglehold of the Caliphate-born-to-rule class,” the statement said
The group said what it hoped to demonstrate through the launch of the “liberation radio station” is to prove beyond every conceivable doubt that IPOB is not a selfish movement concerned only about the well-being of Biafrans, but are also genuinely concerned about the plight of all oppressed people in Nigeria as stated by our leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on countless occasions.
“Our quest for the total and adulterated liberation of Biafraland is unstoppable; this we shall demonstrate in the coming month. The coming of this new and revolutionary Radio Nigeria Hausa Service will expose centuries old dark secrets through education of the oppressed Hausa Fulani youths that IPOB and Biafra mean well for them contrary to the lies being peddled by their corrupt leadership. We will not fail to let all Northern youths understand that their political leaders, elders and fathers like those in Biafraland are the real oppressors that over the years have kept them in the dark through a carefully crafted and systematic regime of misinformation and propagation of falsehood.”
A couple in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa are in grief after their kidnapped three-weeks-old baby died on Wednesday, just two days after he was returned to them alive.
Baby Sikhanyiso Ngcobo, then only a week old, was allegedly stolen by a woman identified as Prisca Gabisile Mndaweni, who tricked the 17-year-old mother, Bongeka Ngcobo, into handing him over to her.
After almost two weeks of agony and tension, the suspect was arrested and the parents reunited with their child, but the baby fell ill and died Wednesday.
Accused Mndaweni made a brief appearance at the Pietermaritzburg Magistrate’s Court on Wednesday. She was charged with kidnapping after which she told the court she intended to plead guilty.
The case was postponed to 12 January for a bail application, with the accused remanded in custody until then.
Bongeka, from Elandskop in KwaMafunze, had gone to Home Affairs to apply for a birth certificate.
While walking down Church Street, she was approached by a smartly dressed woman, who appeared to be in her late 30s, who asked her where she was going with the baby.
When Bongeka told the woman she was going to the Ematsheni taxi rank, she said she would walk with her.
“As we continued walking down, she asked if she can hold the baby and I agreed.”
Bongeka said the woman told her she had heard from other people that if you are pregnant and you hold a newborn “you will not have difficulties with your birth”.
“We walked past a shop selling fried chips. She took out a R20 note and asked me to buy the fried chips for her as she was still holding the baby. I turned around to ask her something and she was gone. I ran down the street looking for her but she was nowhere to be found,” said Bongeka.
Last Thursday, police made a breakthrough and tracked down little Skhanyiso to a house in Hammarsdale. Bongeka and her family said they were overjoyed to be reunited with their baby.
Ngcobo said they were contacted by the investigating officer, Sergeant Zwelithini Nxele, on Wednesday afternoon telling them he had received information that Skhanyiso was in Hammarsdale.
Then on Thursday, Bongeka, her mother, Nxele and Constable Sanele Mchunu went to Hammarsdale in search of the baby.
“The police went into the house first to speak to the woman and when they called us in Bongeka identified the woman as the one who had stolen the baby and later identified the baby. The woman immediately apologised and said she had intended to eventually bring back the baby to us,” said Ngcobo.
She said although they were not entirely satisfied with the physical appearance of the baby, they were happy that the baby was well and healthy.
Pietermaritzburg police spokesperson Sergeant Mthokozisi Ngobese said police had been on their toes ever since the incident.
He said it was the Pietermaritzburg branch commander, Colonel Ntando Mbatha, who established a team dedicated solely to finding the baby.
The two police officers assigned to the case, Nxele and Mchunu, worked around the clock, following various leads and information until they eventually tracked down the woman who had stolen Skhanyiso. “It is an indescribable feeling,” said Ngobese.
Pietermaritzburg Cluster commander Major-General Phumelele Makoba expressed her gratitude to the police officers who worked to find Skhanyiso.
She and Ngobese also cautioned the public not to trust strangers with their children no matter how friendly or approachable they appeared to be.

A Nigerian Lady has called out handler of popular twitter account ‘sub delivery man’ for allegedly treating her badly after she turned down his sex advances when she visited him.
According to her, they had been friends on Twitter for a while but decided to meet one on one for the first time at a hotel room where they both ate and drank, and after she turned down his sexual advances, he not only refused to give her transport fare back home but also asked to collect the 3,000 naira he had sent to her prior to their meeting.
She wrote;
We’ve been friends for 5-6months and he had a different handle then before it got suspended by twitter. I was on my own on a Saturday morning wen he told me to pay him a visit then this happened.
After helping me to get an online job from his former account, he dm’ed me with another account to reveal himself, I thanked him again for what he did and we became friends immediately.
The convo moved from twitter to whatsapp where we exchanged pictures. Then this day came when I had issues with my phone and I needed 6k to repair it, I called him and he transferred 3k to my account then I added the rest.
We’ve always been planning to see but he always comes up with another excuse which I’m not really bothered about.
Then he sent me a message on a Saturday morning that I should come around, somewhere in iyana ipaja. I left my house around 12pm but unluckily for me I got there late in the evening cos traffic of which he was supposed to attend his friends wedding that same day and we planned going together. On getting there It was a guest house, I met him at the bar and we got talking. I only drank water.
Some minutes later, he told me to follow him and we went into a room. We sat on the bed and the normal thing started. Then he told me we should do and I said no. He stood up and got dressed.In my mind I was like “wow this guy is so calm and gentle”. He left the room angrily and told me to meet him outside.
NOTE: I told him how costly the transportation is cos of fuel scarcity and he promised to return it when I come. He walked me down to the junction where I’d take Bike and I asked for my tfare then he said he doesn’t have.
I got down from the bike and said haaaa, how do you now expect me to get home. I already know it’s because of what happened in the room then I started apologizing but he kept on saying there’s nothing wrong and was Walking back to the guest house, I was still following and apologizing not even because of the money but I don’t want to leave him when he’s still mad at me.
His friend saw me and said he thought I had gone already, then I explained what happened to him and he went to meet him.
Asked him why he behaved like that, I sha don’t know what he told him. Then he came back to me and squeezed #500 in my hand. Jeeez…. I went to met his friend to direct me to any bank around so I could withdraw and go home then his friend told me to go and meet him.
I was like Why should I go and meet someone that is mad at me and I said no. He walked back to me and said I should give him back the #500 he gave me, I got angry and threw the money at him and it fell on the ground.
Then he snatched my phone from me. I started begging him for my phone and He said he won’t give me until I transfer the 3k he sent to me the other day. Then I said OK, just give me my phone so I can do the transfer cos it was getting late.
He kept on walking and I was still following and begging him for about 30mins like a mad woman ?. He also tried To get on bikes but I kept pushing him down. It was a very terrible day for me.
A man noticed I was begging him to give me my phone, it was this man that helped intervene before I got my phone back. I know you’ll be wondering who this guy is, yes I’ll mention his handle…
He handled subdeliverypost that got suspended by twitter and now handles subdeliveryTwit. These are his pictures below ??? LADIES please always have extra money with you when these guys invites you over, some of them are not that nice once you turn them down for sex. Peace out

A suspected Badoo member, Chibuzor Igwe, 18, yesterday, revealed in chilling details how he and other members killed a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) last year at Igbogbo, Ikorodu area of Lagos State.
The pastor, Victor Kanayo, was attached to Finger of God Parish, Igbogbo.
He was murdered on November 26, around 7p.m., at his residence, along Offin, Igbogbo. Igwe and four other suspects, including a lady, Gift Akaeze, were paraded by the police yesterday.
Other suspects are Fatai Adebayo alias Alese, Samuel Akaeze, alias Samiti and Omotayo Abamoyegun. Adebayo is alleged to be the chief herbalist and was further alleged of being a kingpin of the gang. He is also alleged of being the person in charge of fortifying members before they go out for killing operations.
The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, displayed stones and bloodstained clothes allegedly recovered from the Badoo suspects. Speaking with journalists, Igwe disclosed the modus operandi of Badoo ritual killing group.
His words: “We usually spray a powdery substance on a target, while he is sleeping. The person will then fall deeper into sleep. Once we are sure the person is in a deep sleep, we would smash the person’s head with stone, and then scrub his blood with a white handkerchief.”
Recollecting how he met and joined the Badoo group, Igwe recounted: “After I was sacked from the factory where I used to work, I needed a job to sustain myself. That was why I went to meet Omotayo Abamoyegun. He is a friend. I wanted to work for him as a driver.
He advised me to wait for two weeks. After two weeks, he called me that he had a job for me. He said that the job was better than driving. It was then he introduced me to the Badoo group. I was forced to take an oath before I started working with them.
My first operation was the killing of the RCCG pastor at Igbogbo. They promised to give me N500,000 if I successfully carried out the operation. “It was Gift, the lady among us that showed us the pastor’s house.
Gift’s husband, Samuel, a welder, was the one who assisted us to break into the pastor’s house. Omotayo sprayed a substance on the pastor while he was still sleeping. I then used the stone to smash his head. I was given N20,000, instead of the N500,000. I was also given the pastor’s Asha Nokia phone.
They promised to balance me. I was leaving the scene when a local vigilante group arrested and handed me over to the police.” Imohimi, thereafter, prevented journalists from speaking to other suspects; he ordered that they should be returned to police cell.
Imohimi said: “The method used by the Badoo group is to hypnotise their victims while they are asleep. The victims would fall into a deep sleep, and then these Badoo members would smash the victim’s head with a grinding stone.”
Recounting the murder of another victim by the Badoo group, Imohimi said that on December 30, around 2:30p.m., the peace of Lagos State was disturbed at Alajo Close, Ibeshe, a suburb of Ikorodu, after three suspects invaded the home of late Shakiru Yekini’s compound. The invaders killed Yekini and injured his wife and their sixmonth- old baby.
Imohimi said: “The role of Abamoyegun in the gang is to spray the powdery substance into the house of their victim, which makes them fall into a deep sleep, after which another member of the gang will smash the victim’s head with a grinding stone. Having certified that the victim is dead, the suspects would use white handkerchief to scrub the victim’s blood for ritual purpose.
“Luck, however, ran out on them after one of the victims raised the alarm and vigilante men on duty quickly reacted. The vigilante men alerted policemen, who quickly cordoned off the area. Chibuzor Igwe was arrested at the scene.
He has made startling revelations, which led to the arrest of Abamoyegun and Akaeze. Please note that a grinding stone used to smash the victim’s head, smeared with blood was recovered at the murder scene and taken to the lab for forensic analysis to back up our evidence in court.”
Imohimi added: “Gift, who is the wife of Samuel, was arrested for allegedly supplying information to the suspects on where to strike. Abamoyegun confessed that he usually takes members of the group to Fatai Adebayo, an herbalist.
Adebayo specialized in fortifying the suspects and blessing their stones, which they would use for successful operations.” Imohimi disclosed that Adebayo had been arrested and his shrine, located at Ijebu Imosan, destroyed in an operation, which he led on Tuesday.
Imohimi further said: “The war against the suspected killers will not stop. The police will not relent until all the killers are brought to book. We use this opportunity to declare Alaka Abayomi Kamal wanted following a warrant of arrest issued by a magistrate’s court in Lagos.

A Nigerian Lady took to twitter to advise her fellow ladies to be more independent, as she told the story of a man who offered to pay her hotel bill, but when she refused having anything intimate with him, he withdrew his offer and asked her to leave the room.
However the tables turned because she’d already paid for the room with her own money and she then asked the man not to bother her anymore, LOL..
She posted on twitter with some screenshots ;
That’s how someone offered to pay for my hotel room in Lagos. Proper begged to pay. When he realized I wasn’t going to fuck him this happened. Gotta always have your money ladies.
However, a certain Twitter user, Mr Blaze was not totally impressed as he asked; “How do we confirm this. Twitter olosho”
Then she replied by asking who he was; “Please who are you?
*crickets*
That’s what I thought. Now run along little boy.
Mr Blaze in a defiant manner, introduced his proud self ;
My name is mike. I run a small scale business at elegushi plaza. opposite jakande shop rite here in lekki. nd all my goods are imported by my humble self from Dubai. I’m 27. Enough said. Pls who are u. Twitter celebrity with no real life ambition. If i here say u no be olosho
Then the savage lady came back with stronger defense ;
I’m 24. Graduated from University of Sheffield at 20 with a 2:1. Proceeded to go to law school where I was called to bar without failing. Now I’m an in-house lawyer for a reputable school in Abuja and a filmmaker as a side gig. I’ve co-produced movies for DSTV and I also write.
Still not impressed , another twitter user –kingace_z asked ;
Proof or we don’t believe it …. you can’t just come here and claim lawyer and expect us to believe you whole heartedly
Next she put the argument to bed with her tweet;
That reply shut the boys down and twitter users went agog, the lady has since gone viral on the app for her calmness in responding to boys..
An Igbo lady is livid about the cost of her traditional wedding as it has drained herself and her husband who is from the south south financially, to the point of being in debt.
The Lady took to facebook to rant about it.
Read below;
I’m really angry and I must rant this rant……
I want to sincerely beg all igbo fathers here to pls stop the act of billing their daughters husbands to be just because they’re non igbos. It’s not fair at all because while they’re enjoying the money, their daughters are at the receiving end.
I’m of no doubt that some igbo ladies make good wives and all….my traditional wedding was last month and in all honesty, I now understand why most men marry igbo wives and subject them to suffering,i understand why most Igbo women are baby mamas instead of being the wives……….
My husband is isoko and all his friends (igbos included )has vowed not get involved with any igbo lady.
I know some of my brothers and sisters would want to insult me, I know some of my friends here would want to inbox me to interrogate me, I don’t care because we’re back in Lagos, broke and for the first time in a long while, I’m now a debtor and can’t sleep or eat well.

About 100 men a month are going to Lelux Hospital in Bangkok to have their penises bleached in a $650 five-session laser-whitening treatment, AFP reports.
The service launched in July. Since the hospital released pictures of a man undergoing the procedure on Thursday, interest is expected to get even bigger.
For many Thais, pale skin is considered ideal — and Lelux Hospital has lightened conventional body areas for years. A male customer unhappy about “dark parts” on his junk inspired the six-month-old service.
“These days a lot of people are asking about it,” Bunthita Wattanasiri, a manager for the Skin and Laser department at Lelux Hospital, told AFP. “We get around 100 clients a month, three to four clients a day.”
Most clients were aged between 22 and 55, with many from Thailand’s LGBTQ community. “We have to be careful because it’s a sensitive part of the body,” Bunthita added.

Arsenal Football Club Manager, Arsene Wenger, yesterday in a post-match interview, said he would have probably committed suicide after his side’s first game of the New Year against Chelsea almost ended in defeat.
The North London club, which drew the first blood via a Jack Wilshere goal in the 63rd minute, had to settle for a 2-2 draw with the visitors.
Earlier in the 67th minute, Chelsea drew level via a penalty kick converted by Eden Hazard and saw themselves in front courtesy of a Marcos Alonso strike in the 84th minute but the visitor’s victory party was thwarted by Hector Bellerin, who more than made up for conceding the penalty in the first place, as his stunning strike from the edge of the box in the nick of time, earned the Gunners a hard fought draw at home.
Speaking shortly after the match, Arsene Wenger, whose side now seat sixth on the EPL table; five points behind fourth placed Liverpool and 23 points behind league leaders Manchester City, said that he would’ve gone home and probably committed suicide had his side lost to Chelsea at the Emirates.
“I don’t know… maybe I would’ve gone home and commit (sic) suicide tonight”, Wenger jokingly told journalists at the post-match press briefing.
The Arsenal manager, however, admitted to being close to “shock” in the dying minutes of the match before his side drew level.
Former Ms Bukola Adeosun has found everlasting joy after she fell in love and tied the knots with Olawale Dada, a man living with Cerebral Palsy.
The lovely couple, who have ticked four months in their marital calendar, shared their love story with Kemi Ashefon for Lovehaven magazine December 2017 Edition.
Read excerpts below:
LH: When did you get married?
Olawale: We got married on August 26, 2017.
LH: Where and how did you meet?
Bukola: We met on Facebook.
LH: What was the attraction?
Bukola: For me, the attraction was his open-mindedness, sincerity and when we met physically, I wasn’t surprised at what I saw because I had seen his photos on Facebook.
LH: Didn’t you nurse fears?
Bukola: I had my fears especially when he asked me while chatting on the phone if I could marry someone with disability. I paused a while before typing my response. I reasoned that physically challenged persons are human beings too and nothing stops them from living a normal life. That day, for my response, I just typed ‘I don’t know.’
Olawale: I was just browsing through Facebook and I saw some friends’ suggestions with hers inclusive. I was attracted to her simplicity, natural beauty and smile. It was what I’ve always wanted—someone with a cheerful disposition. I went to read up her profile but the other photos were not too impressive—she looked like a pastor’s daughter. I thought, ‘can this person handle me?’ I wanted someone I would be free with, someone I can discuss my past with and be able to reason and not be too religious. Then I realised I would always go to see her picture. I would click ‘Like’. Then, I went ahead to start a conversation with her. Her response impressed me and from Facebook, we migrated to Whatsapp, then to phone calls and Imo, where we can see live video.
LH: Weren’t you afraid to woo her?
Olawale: Due to the many disappointments I have had from some ladies in the past, I didn’t want pity, I wanted love. I told her from the outset all about me. I noticed a spark between us but whenever I wanted to make advances, she would say, ‘don’t get your hopes high.’ I didn’t give up and still forged ahead. I still can’t explain where I got the boldness from. I became stuck with her.
LH: What was the reaction when you met her physically?
Olawale: We met one-on-one on August 27, 2016 at a restaurant in Lagos. I came loaded with materials on cerebral palsy. I wanted her to know more about CP. That day, we were like two lost-but-found soul mates! We chatted unending.
Bukola: We would chat till very late. We would start from 9 pm till 5am on Whatsapp. We were so open to each other. That endeared me to him the more. A woman wants a man who she can talk to without inhibitions, she can bare her mind and not castigate over what she said; it was a beautiful friendship. I wasn’t really sure if I would marry him but I enjoyed the friendship. His perception to life amazes me—he helps people, he raises funds and gets items for those living with cerebral palsy.
LH: What was the reaction when he proposed?
Bukola: I visited him at home and I saw him going on his knees. His aunt was present that day! I was smiling but not ready for it despite the fact that I had fallen in love with him. I accepted but I made him realise that marriage is more than love and we needed to pray and get a word from God to confirm He wants us together. My parents are pastors and I told them to also pray about it. I prayed on my own but needed to pray with him and confirm this is from God. So, we got to pray and had three prayer points that we presented to God. First, God should convince us about each other. Secondly, that God should convince the authorities he has placed above us—pastors and parents. Lastly, that God should make a way for him in his real estate business. We took up some days of fasting and prayers. God confirmed with answers.
LH: Any opposition from family or friends?
Bukola: None, they all supported my decision.
Olawale: No opposition but everyone told me to tame anger. Already, I had explained to her some characteristics of people living with disabilities.
By the time I informed my family members about her, they invited her and wanted to be sure it was love. This is because they knew that I would love a woman without inhibitions and some ladies had taken advantage of me in the past. My mum was surprised when she saw her and asked Bukola if she was sure of her decision to marry someone like me and if she was well informed about cerebral palsy—she responded positively.
LH: Was the cerebral palsy from birth?
Olawale: I didn’t know it was cerebral palsy until 2010. I grew up being depressed, having low-self esteem and I was a triangle guy—church, school and back home. But in 2013, my New Year resolution was to make more female friends because I was cut off from everyone socially. Prior to that time, I couldn’t start a conversation with ladies. I decided making friends and opening up. That helped me a lot because I started understanding ladies—their likes, their dislikes. That also helped me because I knew I had to do away with pettiness, low self-esteem, immaturity and other mood swings which could show up in disabled people.
LH: So you didn’t know it was Cerebral Palsy?
Olawale: Yes. I wasn’t just comfortable with the uncoordinated body movements, I fell down easily but I had an accident in year 2000. It was so bad that I broke my legs. I felt pain and had series of tests and consultations in hospitals after which it was discovered that the severe measles I suffered at age two must have triggered it. My mum said after the measles, I didn’t talk for a while. But I pushed myself. I didn’t like what I was going through and I sought acceptance. I would cry, go to the Bible, read the scriptures but I discovered my entrepreneurial ability, worked on it and gradually, I’m getting results.
LH: How are you coping as his wife?
Bukola: People who knew him before he got married now are in awe that he looks good, fresher, and smiles more. I knew what I would go through when I said yes to him. Though it could be a bit tiring, I remind myself that I’m married to him and we are coping. Whenever we go out, I would have to hold him while he walks. I bear a bit of his weight. I’m coping and its been a jolly ride. I have noticed that I am a special person. I have gone through some things in life and these things have made me strong. I ensure that we are happy and take the good of every situation.
LH: Do you quarrel?
Bukola: We argue but its always sorted out.
Olawale: When I’m angry, I will start singing and thanking God.
LH: Who apologises first?
Bukola: He does.
LH: What do you call each other?
Bukola: We call ourselves Babe but sometimes, he calls me MOOD(Mrs Olawabukola Olawale Dada)
LH: How do you guys handle finance? Do you have a joint account?
Olawale: Not yet but she is my accountant.
Bukola: I know about every kobo he spends. He knows mine too. I handle his accounts and all transactions. I’ve observe that he could give out all his money to people in need. He’s generous to a fault and I am a very prudent person. I manage his account and try to avoid unnecessary spending.
What are his favourite food?
Bukola: He likes light food, snacks etc. I prefer swallow, he doesn’t.
LH: What is advice to ladies searching for life-partners?
Bukola: First, the physical appearance of a man doesn’t determine the state of his heart. Finding a right partner is beyond finding someone to love you but someone who can share your world with, someone you can take giant stride with, someone that whatsoever happens in future, you sail through together. A woman should look beyond the physical, beyond the pocket (money is important but not a determining factor). Make sure you are going into marriage with someone you are very comfortable with because sometime money, beauty and love might not be enough.
Olawale: For those living with disability and seeking life partners, know that you have to show yourself friendly if you are looking for a friend. For you to get married, know what you want. Be available, be accessible and be approachable.
Bukola: Marry a man with a purpose. When I met him, I realised he has passion for humanity. He pours himself out to people, helping people who are needy. All I could see was somoen who did not relent because of his situation, who was not seeking pity. I wanted a man who had identified himself and walking in the purpose. I am a teacher and work with students. I do mentoring for female students and I do volunteering too.
General overseer of Christ Embassy Church, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has revealed his prophetic declarations for the year 2018.

WELCOME TO 2018 — THE YEAR OF THE SUPERNATURAL!
The year means nothing without the Word of God. God’s Word is our light, it’s our guide. This year is a very special year. I want to tell you what the Lord has shown me about 2018. He’s not just telling us about the year but giving us direction.
Many times when we hear the Word ‘bless’ not many understand it.
To bless means to cause to prosper, to favour, to evoke successful outcomes, to infuse with ability.
When God says, I will bless you, He means all of these. You can see how important this is. Now you can understand what God meant when He told Abraham, „I will bless you“. No wonder Abraham was successful everywhere he went. He wasn’t successful by human ability. It was far beyond that.
What many need is divine edge. Where the maximum result is 5 for everybody, when you are blessed, you go beyond that. Did you know that we are supposed to walk in such blessings? That’s why they struggle like others. They even beg God for it, even though it’s theirs. They just don’t know how to enjoy it. Why do people suffer for a long time? Look at the man in the bible who has been sick for 38 long years. God doesn’t want you in such situations. The only thing you are allowed is to suffer is persecution. (In the midst of it lies your promotion).
When the children of Israel were in the wilderness, God had to make food available to them, he sent them manna from heaven. They had to gather just enough for the day but God doesn’t want them to work on the 7th day, so God gave them twice as much on the 6th day. When they entered the promised land, they weren’t allowed to farm on the 7th year, the land was supposed to rest on the 7th year. How are they going to survive the 7th year? God is going to give them twice as much harvest as they would have had in the 6th year. God also told them about the Jubilee, they were not supposed to farm on the 50th year but remember that the 49th year will be a 7th year with no planting, making it 2 years without planting. God said, He will give them 3 years of harvest. Look at it right there.
Leviticus 25:21 KJV “Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.”
So God is able to make this happen. God can do it. God cannot lie. Let me show you something, Daniel, chapter 1, I want us to read verse 20.
Daniel 1:20 KJV “And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.”
How did this happen? Because God has blessed them. He made them ten times better.
1 Samuel 18:6-7 KJV “And it came to pass as they came, when David was returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out of all cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments of musick. And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.“
Haggai 2:1 et seq. KJV “In the seventh month, in the one and twentieth day of the month, came the word of the Lord by the prophet Haggai, saying,
Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, and to the residue of the people, saying, Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing? Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, saith the Lord; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Josedech, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith the Lord, and work: for I am with you, saith the Lord of hosts: According to the word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, so my spirit remaineth among you: fear ye not. For thus saith the Lord of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the Lord of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the Lord of hosts.
The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of hosts.”
Zechariah 4:6 KJV „Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.“
How did you accomplish that? You will shout, Grace! Grace!!
Ezekiel 47:12 NIV “Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail. Every month they will bear fruit, because the water from the sanctuary flows to them. Their fruit will serve for food and their leaves for healing.”
John 7:37 KJV “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.“
38 KJV: „He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
[What’s this river?]
39 KJV “(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)“
These rivers come out in words, words of life. Remember the words of Jesus, „the words that I speak unto you are Spirit and they are life.“
Are you ready for 2018, brothers and sisters? Do you know what the Lord is talking about?
For your information, this year marks 70 years since the creation of Israel and 70 is a special number. Now this is reflecting in the earth. Something is happening in the spirit and throughout this year is a special time that falls in the calendar of God. While we are doing something, some more are getting done. You are to be finding money, put there for you by angels. That’s why this year is the year of the SUPERNATURAL!
2018 is a loaded year, it’s blessings, accomplishments worth 10 years in 1 year! Multiplied abilities, and everywhere they check you and test you, you will be 10 times better. Can you imagine that, that 10 times will be the least! You are going to be walking on water in 2018. I look into 2018 and all I can see is green everywhere, that’s prosperity! No dryness. It’s all so green. Thank Him, thank Him right now. Oh, glory to God.

Sultry Nollywood Actress, Mercy Aigbe might be heading towards a re-conciliatory move with estranged husband, Lanre Gentry as she has followed him on Social Networking app – Instagram.
Recall, when Mercy Aigbe celebrated her 40th birthday, the last person that everyone expected a birthday message from was he estranged husband, Lanre Gentry.
However the message came and everyone praised his maturity despite their indifference.
The other time we suspected they might be getting back together was when Mercy Aigbe was a guest at an occasion back in 2017 and she was spotted wearing her wedding ring.
Now the 39-year-old Mother of 3 has sparked reconciliation rumours as she just followed Lanre on Instagram after un-following him at the peak of their separation controversy.
Sources close to the couple say she just might be returning to her ex-husband, as several efforts have been made to reconcile both parties but have met brick walls until recently
The photo of this Ghanaian couple has since gone viral since its emergence. The photo has gone viral online for obvious reasons – the photo proves to many that nothing really, should be an hindrance when there’s love!
The height difference of the couple is certainly what has people talking and many haters have been quick to judge that the main reason the lovely bride would get down with the kinda man, should be his financial status.
Be that as it may, the gentleman has what it takes to hold down such a lovely bride… it’s left to the figment of your imagination, whether or not, it’s his financial stability.
Relationship expert, Amara Blessing Nwosu, has lectured men on how they can pleasure their women better in bed.
In a post on her Facebook page, she shared foreplay tips to men and how they can make their women beg for more.
We’re anticipating you’re above 18 years of age otherwise, no need to go reading further.
Read below:
”So I am so generous today that I want to teach men how to romance the body of a woman and get her begging for more…You didn’t hear that from me.
Some men are so terrible in foreplay that their partner finds it difficult connecting with them. Even before he undresses a lady, she can predict exactly what he will do, and guess what, he will do the same thing and at the end, give her so much pain and boredom in the name of foreplay.
Now, foreplay is the only way to arouse the senses of a woman and prepare her body for the main course meal. It’s the only way to truly connect with your woman.
First thing, find out what works for your spouse. You should keep this in mind.
During foreplay, say something, unless you are sucking her breast. Complement her beauty, her body, her breast, her nipples, everything about her.
Next, take time to tease her body. This is the best way to give a woman great anticipation for sex. Don’t grab her breast, truth is that the most important is those small dots, not the pound of flesh on her chest, use your tongue and gently lick around her nipples, and don’t suck her as she might have predicted.
Start by dry-licking other areas of her body, don’t go right down to her clitoris or start fingering immediately. As you play with the other part of her body, she will most likely try to direct you to where she wants you, but pretend like you don’t understand
When you get to her paradise, she’s expecting you to launch in, tease her some more. Use the tip of your rod and play with her clitoris. Let her beg for some more, and then gently thrust like you are now ready to make her world glow in ecstasy.
As you tease her and give her some quality foreplay, her breath and body rhythm will tell you that you are doing a good job.
And when you master this pretty well, trust me, she will always look forward to making love with you.
Now that you know, I hope you won’t disappoint me during practicals”.
“I am in a relationship with this young man from the north, while I’m from the West. I think I love him and I know he loves me too.”
“He cares about me and treats me well, though we have our arguments sometimes but we usually resolve them eventually.”
“The problem now is that he’s not that educated. According to him, he attended a polytechnic in the north but he has poor English speaking skills. He commits grammatical and pronunciation errors that my younger brother in SS3 cannot even commit.”
“However, he has a good job and some assets as well. He even has a house of his own. He’s smart and intelligent and his words are filled with wisdom.”
“He has been through a lot in life and he’s experienced. But the problem is this English.”
“As for me, I’m very educated and speak English well. I’ve been trying to cope with his English, hoping that with time, I’ll be able to rub-off on him and he’ll improve.”
“He has also indicated interest in furthering his education. Moreso, my parents are opposed, though not strongly, to my marrying a man from another tribe than mine.”
“Should I go ahead and marry him? I used to feel so irritated by his manner of speaking but as time went by, I was being tolerant and I feel I can teach and correct him too.”
“I just hope that in future, I will not feel frustrated and regretful for marrying a man like him. I hope he will not feel inferior and throw tantrums.”
“I hope he will not be over-possessive, thus limiting me from moving forward, maybe faster than him, in future. These are my doubts and fears.”
