“Tithes And Offerings Cannot Buy Private Jets” – Lagos Pastor, Blessing Agboli Says.

The spouse of the General Overseer of The Victorious Army Ministries International in Lagos, Pastor (Mrs.) Blessing Agboli, has debunked the claims that most church leaders with private jets acquired them using the tithes and offerings gathered from their members.

Speaking at a press conference in Lagos, Pastor Agboli stated that private jets are so expensive that no amount of tithes and offering can buy them.

In her own words,

“Offerings cannot buy private jets. You cannot just park a jet without making a business out of it. Owning a private jet is not a sin and those who have them should never be apologetic. I don’t think offerings can buy jets. I don’t think pastors also should apologize for making and spending money. That we are pastors does not mean we should be poor.” she said.

“I used to take codeine, other hard drugs. I couldn’t boast of N1m in 2016” — Toyin Abraham

Nollywood Actress, Toyin Abraham, has talked about her past, and has opened up on how she abused hard drugs like marijuana and codeine.

The actress made the disclosure at the 2017 edition of Success Story Africa, held at the TLC Auditorium, Lagos, on Sunday.

“You need to stop bad habits. I was involved in a lot of vices and it became worse last year,” she said at the event.

“I did drugs and I am not ashamed to say it because it’s now a thing of the past. They say codeine makes you high; I took a lot. I smoked a lot and I didn’t even know I looked horrible, because I was so skinny.

“If you came to my house last year, you would meet a lot of people and you wont want to leave because we smoked, gossiped about people and what have you.”

The actress also revealed that she once hawked plantain chips to help feed her family.

She said growing up was not easy for her because her family was not financially buoyant, although things worked out for them because they worked hard and were “spiritually buoyant”.

She also talked about the mistakes she has made in the entertainment industry and how she has not let the negativity shape her.

“I made a lot of mistakes when I began acting and that was because I did not have plans. I just wanted to be known.

“But, I now know that being popular isn’t the same thing as being successful. When I got into the industry and the fame became too much, I became irresponsible.

“I could not boast of N1 million in 2016. I was making money and I wanted to feel among. When one of our colleagues bought a car, it was trouble because we all strove to buy the same car or a bigger one.

“I had to change my circle for good and this change started in March 2017.”

Previously called Toyin Aimakhu, the actress changed her name to Toyin Abraham in December 2016.

The well-attended event also featured inspiring speeches by ace comedian, Bovi Ugboma; and Commissioner for Information, Ogun State, Dayo Adeneye, among other speakers.

“Flexing with my ex” — Secondary School boy Kisses his girlfriend in adorable photo

There seems to be an extreme level of Freedom in South Africa, as Secondary school students are allowed to display PDA without fear of being reprimanded by adults.

A Boy Identified as Sosa Vaughn, shared photos of himself kissing his “Ex-Girlfriend” in public and wrote on his Instagram; “I’m Back Flexing with my ex”.

Sosa immediately took down the photos, after the serious bashing he received from the online community.

While many felt it was so cute, others say he is too young to engaged in such PDA. He pulled down the photo…. But rather than being remorseful for days or perhaps stay off social media till he grows up, he returns again later and posted a photo of himself with the caption;

“I’m finna stop flex on my ex and get back flexing with her”.

We have seen incidences like this from that part of Africa in recent times.

According to reports, the ugly incident occurred on April 7th, 2012 when Lulu was 19 years old while Kanumba was 28 years.

Steven Kanumba who was a popular Tanzanian actor died after Lulu pushed him to the wall during an argument because of a call she allegedly received from another man.

During the court hearing, Kanumba’s younger brother, Seth Bosco told the court that Lulu had an altercation with his brother on that fateful day. He explained that the two were quarreling because Lulu picked up a call from another man in the presence of the deceased.

Bosco further revealed that Lulu came out of the room and informed her that Kanumba had fallen. The two called a doctor who declared Kanumba dead after examining him

Esther Zephania, a detective who arrested Lulu on that fateful day, told the court that walls of the room where the actor died had black blood-like stains.

Lulu’s lawyer Peter Kibatala requested the court to pardon his client arguing that she committed the crime when she was still young.

He further begged the court to forgive his client saying that she is her family’s breadwinner. Kibatala asked the court to free his client so that she could continue providing for her family.

The High Court, however, found Lulu guilty of unintentionally killing Steven Kanumba. Kibatala vowed to challenge the ruling even as Lulu was sent to prison to start serving the two-year term.

Meet The First Man In India To Tattoo His Eyes Completely Black (Photos)

Tattoo Eyes Completely Black

A man in India, Karan Sidhu, popularly known as Tattoographer has become the first man in India to tattoo the whites of his eyes completely.

Tattoo Eyes Completely Black

The 28-year-old man disclosed that tattooing one’s eyeballs is the most painful place to get a tattoo but for him, he had his own eyes open when he had the procedure done in September.

The healing process for this is a nasty one, as imagined. It had to be done in two steps a few days apart to allow the eyes to rest, and Karan had to wear sunglasses afterwards as the sun burned.

Tattoo Eyes Completely Black

As well as this, his eyes were swollen for a week. However, Karan is more than happy with the results.

He says; “It was exhilarating and amazing. I feel this is the most elite thing one can do in body modification. I was amazed when I first saw myself in the mirror. It looks amazing. I’d never felt so proud.”

Tattoo Eyes Completely Black

He’s also currently single, so if you like a man with very VERY dark eyes, it might be time to give Karan a go.

He added: “I’m still amazed when I see myself like this,’ he said. ‘It needs both courage and passion to do something like this. It’s not easy but not difficult either. You need to know what you want. It is all about looking and feeling different.”

Banky W, Adesua Etomi: A Love Story That Defines All Odds

The love story between Nigerian singer, Banky W and Actress Adesua Etomi is one which has blossomed to the admiration of many.

It has always been the wish and dream that these guys end up together since we saw them together in the blockbuster movie, The Wedding Party. Well, that dream and aspiration were brought to reality when Banky W earlier in the year shocked everyone with their engagement.

In a world where celebrities are known for controversies especially their relationships which sometimes includes their romantic relationships and marriages, Banky W and Adesua Etomi have been able to distant themselves from gossip tabloids. Rather it’s been one romantic gesture from these guys or the pictures of them showing us how love is supposed to be like.

Sadly we all know for every good thing there must times of trials or temptations as in recently revealed by Banky W. Lovers and fans of Banky W got the shocker of their lives when he showed pictures of his recovery process after a skin cancer surgery.

The sweetest part apart from the fact that he is recuperating so fast is the way Adesua has been by his side all through this difficult period. Even Banky W couldn’t hide his appreciation for Adesua’s care as he jokingly addresses her as his “Nurse Susu” in his Instagram post.

Trust a lot of people would say if this would be a stumbling block to their wedding plans which is just around the corner.

Well, that is absolutely wrong as you might be surprised that even if this might have distracted them from the wedding preparations and the release of the sequel to the blockbuster movie, The Wedding Party, these guys would come out strong and have one happily ever after story.

Why Yabatech Graduate committed Suicide

Yabatech Graduate committed Suicide

Barely two weeks to the commencement of his one year National Youth Service Scheme, a graduate of the Yaba College of Technology, Oluwamuyiwa Oluwagbemileke, aka Spartacus, ended his life.

The 27-year-old graduate of electrical engineering reportedly took a poison on Wednesday after he was blamed for damaging a car in a sachet water factory in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, where he worked.

Yabatech Graduate committed Suicide

PUNCH Metro learnt that he had hit the vehicle on another one on the factory premises while trying to help the owner re-park it.

The Osogbo, Osun State indigene, was said to have become desperate to raise N50,000 to repair the damaged car.

In a suicide note he posted on Facebook, a few hours before the incident, he hinted that he was depressed.

He wrote, “When a man’s life is unstable, worried, downcast and destabilised, things he does right before will become wrong no matter the best he puts in. He loses focus and strength; he becomes unhappy and angry at everything even if he tries to wear a smiling face.

“Thoughts of death will come in the scene. He keeps asking the question, ‘why me?’ He becomes helpless and even if he’s among people, he still feels lonely. Life can be truly unfair.

“Advice: Never let your ugly situations weigh you down. When you notice things are not going well, check yourself before it makes you feel worried.”

About an hour before he took the poison, he wrote another note on his Facebook wall at 10.16pm, asking his family to look after his mother.

“Please, help me stand by my mother. She’s the reason why I have lived this far. Thank you. To my loved ones,” it read.

He was buried on Saturday at the Atan Cemetery in Yaba, Lagos.

His nickname, it was learnt, evolved from his determination to become a graduate, which made him to engage in one menial job or another to sponsor himself.

His elder sister, who spoke with our correspondent on the telephone on Sunday, confirmed that he was reserved.

The woman, who did not want her name in print, said Oluwagbemileke had called her on the telephone on that day around 11am, saying he was in Osogbo and wanted to discuss an issue with her.

She said, “I was monitoring him on the telephone and asking when he would come.

“I was surprised when he told me that he was on his way back to Lagos. I asked him what he came to do in Osogbo and he said I should not worry. He promised to call me back when he got to Ibadan, Oyo State. When I didn’t see his call, I called him and he said he had boarded a bus en route to Lagos. I asked him what happened. He said he would call me when he got home. I called him several times, but he said he was not at home, not knowing that he was lying. After he didn’t pick my calls again, I went to bed.”

The sister said she called him about 15 times the following day, but he did not pick his calls.

She said she later learnt that he had visited Osogbo to tell their mother about the damaged car, adding that the mother promised to follow him to the factory on Thursday.

She explained that their mother was preparing food for him when he left home, noting that the hard copy of the suicide note was found in his apartment at the factory in Lagos.

The sister said, “I passed out when I was told he poisoned himself. His neighbours said they received a message from him, saying he wanted to poison himself, but they did not take him seriously. His girlfriend said he was gasping when she called him around 11pm. Our mother said he typed the suicide note on his phone in her presence but she did not know the content because she has no formal education.

“I was surprised Muyiwa (Oluwagbemileke) could not wait to be celebrated. He struggled all through, but he never waited to reap the fruits of his labour. He worked as a carrier to survive. Our father died a long time ago. He was going for NYSC on November 21. He was the only graduate in our family.

“When I went to the factory, I was told that a laptop had fallen from his hands and damaged three days before he damaged the car. They must have chided him, which is normal, although his boss denied it. He was collecting over N50,000 monthly at the factory and a gym there.

“While he was living with me, if he spoilt something and I scolded him, he would abscond from home for three days and sleep in schools. At times, I would know he was the one who damaged an item, but I would still ask him. Instead of him to talk, he would just walk away from home. I would beg people to talk to him before he would return home.”

A friend of the deceased, Morountayo Akinyetun, condemned his decision, saying it betrayed his courage and hard work.

“I refuse to believe all that everyone is saying. Haha! You that always advised people to struggle. Ha! After all your up and down; the struggle from The Polytechnic, Ibadan, down to YABATECH. Why Spartacus? What message do you want to pass across to people?

“Your life affected people positively and that was why we gave you the nickname Spartacus. You didn’t care what life gave; you were a strong and courageous man….May God forgive you because what you have done is a great sin,” Akinyetun wrote on Facebook.

Another friend, with the alias Dolly Pee Pee, wrote, “Nigga, people call you Spartacus right from ND days at#the Polytechnic, Ibadan, because you were strong and courageous. What kind of silly thought came over you to commit suicide? I’m disappointed in you. Your decision weakened my day and everybody that knows you. Why didn’t you try and ask other people what they were going through maybe you could still give thanks to God for life? I’m sad and disappointed. You were a fake Spartacus.”

Martins Chika blamed Oluwagbemileke’s friends for not acting promptly after reading his post.

He said, “No one commented on this post until they heard he had died. If he had reasonable friends who know him too well, on seeing this post, they should have got in touch or go meet him to know what’s up. I am sure he would have shared his problems somehow with a close one.

“But these days, we are more busy chasing ghosts on the Internet than being friends to our friends. RIP, brother.”

The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olarinde Famous-Cole, confirmed the incident.
