Nigerian Deeper Life Member That Resurrected From The Dead Narrates Experience

Samuel Anayo John Obute, a medical student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State and member of Deeper Life Church, Anioma regional headquarters of Delta state,  shared his experience on how he resurrected from the dead in Indian Hospital.

Obute, who has been diagnosed of a heart problem five years ago, explained how deteriorating his health status had been since the time of diagnosis.

While he was sharing his testimony with his church members on how God revived his life after being confirmed dead, he revealed that medical reports confirmed that there were seven holes in his heart which requires an urgent surgical operations in New Delhi, India.

Read his testimony in full:

“At the Indian hospital, we were told that we were four weeks behind schedule and that my health condition had gone terribly bad that they could not remedy the situation. “As a result of this devastating news, my Nigerian Surgeon activated his medical contact in Australia where we were asked to fly into the country.

 

“At this point, we became helpless as there was no arrangement for us to move from India to Australia. Luckily, a

friend of my Nigerian Surgeon who, by divine providence, came to India, volunteered his private jet with which we were flown to Australia. When we got to Australia after 13 hours

flight, I became unconscious. I was later told by my Nigerian Surgeon that the doctors in the medical facility in Australia where I was flown to, confirmed that I was already dead after

conducting a medical examination on me.

“A certificate confirming my death was issued to my surgeon by the doctors in Australia who subsequently asked him to fly my corpse back to India. When we got to India, I was told that my body was taken to the mortuary and that as the hospital attendant was about to lock the door to the mortuary where I was kept, my body began to feel terribly cold, a development that made me to shout for help.

“When the mortuary attendant saw me, he ran away and my doctor who was attracted to the mortuary by my shout for help, came in and brought me out. It was when I asked him of what we were doing in India instead of being in Australia that he narrated what happened to me, adding that he had earlier informed my parents in Nigeria that I was dead.”

Obute however noted that the Delta State government immensely contributed in raising N24 million needed for his surgical operations.

Badoo cult is being sponsored by influential people in Lagos, new members are lured through vacancy adverts’ – OPC leader, Adams claims

Badoo New members

Gani Adams, the National Leader of the Oodua Peoples’ Congress, has purported a claim that members of the Badoo cult are being sponsored by influential people in Lagos State.

Adams, who accused the state government of playing politics with the lives of residents, said members of the cult were usually lured through job opportunities after which they were recruited into the gang.

The OPC leader said his group refrained from intervening in the matter despite having information about the activities of the men because it didn’t have the permission of the government.

He said,

“For about two and half years, our coordinators in Ijede have been giving us a lot of information about Badoo. We realised that some highly-placed personalities were involved.
He said, “They use vacancy adverts, among others, to lure would-be Badoo members and they put up some (telephone) numbers. When you call the numbers, they will call you to come to their office and they will give you money for empowerment, like N250,000.

“From what we have gathered, they normally buy the (bloodstained) handkerchiefs for N500,000, N1m or N1.5m. A common man cannot afford that money. It is being organised by some prominent people.
“The Lagos State Government plays partisan politics with the lives and property of people whereas the first duty of government, whether federal, state or local, is to make sure the lives of the citizenry are protected.”

AUST Female Student Develops Cure For Breast Cancer (Photo)

aust female student develops breast cancer cure

A Sierra-Ionian national and female student of the African University of Science and Technology, Abuja, Sandra Musujusu, has developed an alternative treatment for breast cancer.

According to The Nigerian Tribune, the scientific breakthrough might lead to a lasting solution in the treatment of breast cancer prevalent among women world over.

This was made known on Tuesday in Abuja when the World Bank Education Director, Dr Jaime Saavedra Chanduvi with his team visited the University as part of his assessment tour of the 10 African Centres of Excellence (ACE) centres.

The World Bank has committed about $10 billion for the ACE project in Nigeria, as part of efforts to encourage conduct of cutting-edge research and specialisation of the beneficiaries institutions in specific development problems faced in Nigeria and indeed the African continent.

AUST, is hosting one of the Centres of Excellence, known as Pan African Material Institute (PAMI), with research focus electrical power, disease detection and treatment and Sandra will be conducting the research under the sponsorship of the Pan African Materials Institute (PAMI).

Out of 19 African Centres of Excellence, 10 Nigerian tertiary institutions won slots to churn out special research works that could compete effectively with global standards.

The ACE universities include Redeemers University, Mowe; Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria; University of Jos, Jos; University of Benin; and African University of Science and Technology, Abuja.

Others are University of Port-Harcourt; Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife; Bayero University, Kano; Benue State University, Makurdi; and Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta.

It would be recalled that when the Ebola Virus Disease broke out in Nigeria in the year 2014, one of the ACE centres, Redeemers University served as the testing site before it was brought under control.

She said:

“My research is actually centred on the development of bio-degradable polymers for treatment of breast cancer.”

“I will be focusing on triple negative breast cancer which is actually the aggressive sub-type of breast cancer that is common with women from African ancestry.”

“I believe there is a bright future for Africa, and as a woman there is much more we can do if we are empowered. This award given to me by PAMI has empowered me to face my studies with more confidence and actually contribute to the frontier of knowledge and move Africa forward.”

Why I have always supported Nnamdi Kanu – Charlyboy

Charles Chukwuemeka Oputa (AKA CharlyBoy) has given reason he advocated for the release of leader of the Indigenous people of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

Charly Boy Biafra

In a post he shared via his Facebook page, he maintained that he stand for equal rights and justice. Charly said,

“For whatever reason, no man deserves to be ilI-treated in his fatherland as Nnamdi Kanu. Hence, the need for my inclusion in the ever-growing calls for his release at the time. I am for equal rights and justice, period.

“Advocating for the okada community doesn’t necessarily make me an okada rider. Advocating for gay rights, doesn’t make me gay.

“Everybody is witness to the several injustices against the Igbo’s, we may differ on methodology. Biafra for me is a mindset. If there was no great injustice in the land, there would be no call for Biafra. So don’t get it twisted.

“Sometime in January 2017, I wrote about my thoughts on the Biafra and the many things my Igbo kinsmen can alternatively dedicate their all to.

“I titled the article ‘The illusion called Biafra’, those who haven’t read it should read it up because what I wrote therein will always be my stance on Biafra.

“We should channel our energies and abilities towards developing the South-East to become the economic-hub of Nigeria. Igbo nation and my people are great but for us to move forward, we must kill these individualistic tendencies, and come together to do great things.

“Let it be clear to all that the sufferings and poverty of the People from the South East is also the sufferings and poverty of the peoples from the other geopolitical zones in Nigeria including my northern brothers. Even the nascent anti-corruption fight in the country has seen all tribe accordingly represented.

“Therefore, I conclusively insist that Our Mumu Don Do because; The Failure of Leadership is evident in our agitation for Fairness, Justice and Equality for every Nigerian not just for every Igbo man.

“And so the Mind of the typical Igbo Leader Needs a Revolution so that it can be realigned for the interest of the people rather than the interest of a few.

RMD Celebrates His 56th birthday, Shares His Success Story (Photo)

rmd celebrates 56th birthday

Nigerian actor and former Commissioner for Culture and Tourism in Delta State, Richard Mofe-Damijo, popular called RMD who turns 56 years old today has taken to Instagram with excitement to share his story and thank God for his life.

He shared a picture of himself pointing to an artwork with inscriptions, ‘made in warri’.

He wrote:

Patoranking’s “Nobody wey nor fit to make am o” is the apt theme song for my life as I celebrate my 56th birthday today. From Welfare Road Warri, Delta State to the Silver Screen, it’s been an often times surreal experience that anyone who has made it from a similar place of obscurity can relate to. I believe my journey, like most journeys to greatness usually start from self belief. It’s hard for me to believe I have done 34 years post graduation. There’s been struggles, uncertainties, living abroad seeking greener pastures, returning home, businesses have risen, flourished and some fallen.
There’s been a marriage, a painful death, another blessed marriage, joyous births and more academic pursuits and degrees. There’s been my sojourn in government for 8 years, the birth of my precious grandchildren and the return that was first scary till I felt the overwhelming love and support of my ever growing fan base. What a journey. What a packed 56years. I am indeed grateful and thankful. No, I didn’t wake up like this (as RMD), No, I didn’t always know that I would “make it”. It’s been Faith, Hard work, Self development and more work. But above all I have been more graced than my efforts could ever have done which is why in this journey, God is my ride or die and today I return all the glory to Him.

Federal government doing nothing in Igbo land – Gov Rochas Okorocha

Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha has admitted that the Southeastern part of the country has been largely marginalized by the present and past governments.

Rochas Okorocha

Rochas added that this was responsible for the call for secession by different groups in the region.

 

The outspoken Governor said there was no single federal presence in the southeast as no government considered the welfare of the people of that region.

Addressing reporters in Owerri, Okorocha said,

“The South -East has been neglected overtime politically, economically, socially and all that.

“Their roads are impassable; you cannot pass Port Harcourt road, Enugu road, Aba Road, Bayelsa road and all the roads.

“You can hardly see federal government presence in the South- East, all the things you see are through self help.

“Even the Onitsha Bridge has been a theoretical talk, fabrications which does not represent realities.”

Okorocha was however emphatic that Nigeria will remain one, adding, ;

“Very soon, some of us have taken it upon ourselves to reach out to these young men and talk to them.

“We must understand that our young men are frustrated; if they are as comfortable as we are they will not be able to say those things they are saying.”

Emily Lance, of Philadelphia, has received death threats after publicly sharing a video of herself urinating on an American flag.

She had a friend film as she urinated on to a flag submerged in her bathroom toilet using a GoGirl, a device that assists women in urinating while standing up.

She captioned the video, which she posted on Facebook and later deleted:

‘F*** your nationalism. F*** your country. F*** your stupid f****** flag’.

The video quickly went viral as thousands of people slammed Lance for being disrespectful to the nation and the flag.

Social media users sent her death threats, suggested someone slit her throat and even offered to pay money for someone to kill her.

One social media user told Lance that someone had used Craigslist to put an ad for a $3,000 bounty against her.

Others called her disrespectful, unpatriotic and offensive for urinating on an American symbol.

As the video, which has since been deleted, caught traction online, Lance tried to explain why she decided to share the video.

She wrote:

Estate Agent allegedly dupes fleeing Ikorodu residents of over N50million .

Ikorodu

Over 150 Ikorodu residents seeking accommodation at Surulere and Coker areas of Lagos State have been allegedly defrauded by a property developer identified as Kabiru Adeyemi , The Nation reports

The residents, claimed that the total amount paid the said Adeyemi amounted to about N50million, also said they resorted to leaving Ikorodu following the spate of kidnappings and killings by the now infamous Badoo cult group.

Further investigations revealed that the victims, comprising about 100 families, had paid the developer for alternative accommodations at Iponri, Aguda, Coker and Orile.

Most of the victims including widows, it was gathered, were squatting with relatives in Lagos after abandoning their homes at Ikorodu.

Adeyemi alledgedly charged some of the victims N240,000 per year for a room and parlour apartment, but when they went to take possession of their respective apartments, they discovered people were already in them.

Exasperated by the development, some of the victims were said to have filed a complaint at the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (FCIID), Alagbon, which led to Adeyemi’s arrest.

The victim’s were said to have protested to the International Centre for Human Rights, Non Violence and Safety (ICHR) office, Alaka Estate, Iponri, lamenting that they were stranded.

A victim, Linus Ejiofor said he fled Ikorodu in May and has been squatting with a relative.

He said he paid N200,000 for a self-contained and promised to balance N150,000 when he got the key, but another person had occupied.

Ejiofor also lamented that he introduced a lot of people from Ikorodu to the developer, not knowing it was a scam.

Narrating her ordeal, one Mrs. Johnson said:

“I fled my house in Ikorodu following incessant attacks from Badoo. I contacted an agent to help me get a place and he took me to a house undergoing renovation at Mashalasi Street, Iponri. I saw a woman, Mrs Fumilayo and a man called JJ.

“Mrs. Fumilayo told me that she and her husband were the developers renovating the house. My agent and I inquired about a mini flat and she said it was N250 for one year. She told me to make payment into her bank account which I did. I brought the teller to her and was issued a receipt.

What Arsenal Will Enjoy In Alexandre Lacazette

The Frenchman, Alexandre Lacazette is newest deal for the English Premier league side, Arsenal Football Club.

The 26-year-old striker has couple of fantastic records his new home will enjoy about him.

Here are some of them:

Goal Records:

Lacazette has a great dexterity in goalscoring. While playing for Lyon, his immediate past club side, he broke the club’s goal-scoring record for single season when he plundered 27 goals in the 2014-15 campaign. In fact, Lacazette scored Lyon’s only goal in the 2014 Coupe de la Ligue Final against Paris Saint-Germain.

He then broke his own record in the recent 2016-17 season, scoring 28 goals and becoming Lyon’s fourth highest scorer of all-time in the process.

No doubt, Arsenal is a quest for a fabulous scorer who can net the post in daring times for the team.

An Indispensable Landmark for Club

Lacazette has been one of the best players in the French league for the last few seasons and the fact that he made all of the last three Teams of the Season speaks volumes. He is one of only three players to have made heads-up in the last three years with Paris Saint Germain duo Marco Verratti and Thiago Silva being the other two.

Consistency With Team

Lacazette joined Lyon’s ranks at the age of 10 and he has played several matches for the club and won many records as well.

Arsene Wenger, Arsenal’s coach cherishes good relationship with his players and the club side values players who can stay with the club for with all loyalty. Arsenal might just renew its 5-year- deal with the Frenchman.

Style Of Play

Lacazette previously played as a winger for Lyon, before becoming a striker. He dribbles, presses the opposition and wins the ball back using his tackling ability. In his overall style of play, Lacazette has been compared to former Arsenal striker Ian Wright by fellow Frenchman Gérard Houllier and Sonny Anderson, former Lyon striker.

Mentee of Thierry Henry

All times Henry was in Arsenal, he played the kind of game Arsenal is fascinated in, winning trophies. Arsenal might just end up spurring a great passion for Lacazette as he does same pattern with his senior player in France. He sees Henry’s feat of playing in Arsenal as such he desires. He revealed this in his interview with Arsenal media yesterday.

After, Alexandre Lacazette might be a perfect replacement for Thierry Henry after missing him so much.

“You need to Go for HIV Tests” — Did Tekno shade Wizkid or Davido?

Did Tekno shade Wizkid or Davido? In a tweet we missed out yesterday, Tekno might just have taking his shading game to a whole new level.

Tekno shade Wizkid

We might just have missed out an important sub in Tekno’s rant yesterday.

Recall, we brought you details about Tekno jumping into the Ongoing beef between Davido and Wizkid, which Cynthia Morgan claimed was staged.

Tekno seems to have bought himself some chunk of the ongoing beef after he took to his Twitter to throw shots at both singers.

“Na just Time, soon we go know who international pass,” said the singer, adding, “I just dey look you. Just enjoy life and make Good music! If only we all celebrated each other.”

READ ALSO: “Dear Tekno, respect yourself” — Read this Open Letter to Tekno.

But then, that wasn’t enough, that wasn’t the last straw…. Tekno took his shade top notch by telling “one of the singers” to go for HIV Test, and when a follower asked who he was dissing, below is Tekno’s response:

‘Why I Joined Arsenal’ – Alexandre Lacazette

The Frenchman, Alexandre Lacazette opened up on reasons he joined Arsenal.

In his first interview as an Arsenal player, he mentioned that scoring of goals is not all of football for him, although he confessed he loves hitting the net as a striker.

However, the long-time dream of the 26-year-old , Lacazette was to play in Arsenal just as other Frenchmen like Thierry Henry did.

Alexandre Lacazette hoped that having a number of compatriots in the team would help him settle in at the north London club.

His full interview with Arsenal Media reads:

Alexandre, congratulations – how does it feel to be an Arsenal player?

I am, of course, delighted and very proud too because Arsenal is a legendary club. Throughout my childhood, thanks to Thierry Henry and other French players, I always dreamed of playing for this club so today that dream has been fulfilled.

Apart from that link with those French players, what else about Arsenal appeals to you?

Arsenal’s past – I like clubs with a history. Also the fact that the manager has been here for a while shows that it is a stable club which I like. In addition there are quite a few French players here, which makes it easier to settle in. In my opinion, Arsenal is also the club that plays the best football in England so I really wanted to come here.

Can you tell us a bit about your playing style and what we can expect?

When I play I like to use my pace and to link up with my team-mates. As a forward, I like to score goals, of course, but that’s not all that I’m about. I love good flowing football where the whole team is engaged. Last season you had the second-best chance conversion rate in Europe’s top five leagues – what is your secret to good finishing? First of all you need to have players behind you who pass the ball well, resulting in good goalscoring opportunities. Also every time I take a shot at goal it’s because I believe I can score. I don’t just shoot for the sake of it. I always try to choose the best option, whether that is to pass or to shoot. I also try to keep as calm as possible. All that is achieved by a lot of hard work in training.

Do you have a message for the Arsenal fans?

I want to give one hundred per cent in every match. I want to show I’m worthy of the shirt. I want to do everything I can to make sure we win titles.

Alexandre Lacazette completed £53million deal to Arsenal from Lyon on Wednesday, July 5.

Cynthia Morgan says Wizkid vs Davido beef is staged.

Cynthia Morgan says Wizkid vs Davido beef

It’s been long we heard from singer, Cynthia Morgan.. But then, tbe latest we hearing from her, is about the Wizkid vs Davido brawl.

Recall it all started when Olamide released his new track titled Summer Boy which featured DMW Boss, Davido, where he was quoted to have said:

“With our Yankee passport/Dem say we local/You better catch up/I go see you later,”

Then Wizkid gave a savage response; “My people make una remember say Yankee passport no be baba blue, e no dey cure frog voice. ??”

Tekno even had to join in.. Read Here.

Now, Cynthia Morgan in response to a fan has claimed the whole brawl is staged. This comes after a twitter user told her that Wizkid messed with her crush, Davido.. that’s a reason for her being angry.

She responded swiftly. In her words: “Lol ode….wetin concern me with concern wizkid and davido…those guys are just doing their own and using u guys to get more views…that’s the business…lol…blessing fall on me bro..SWERVE”

The woman accused of aiding suspected kidnap kingpin Chukwudumeje George Onwuamadike (alias Evans) to escape justice in 2006 is still in the police.

The Nation gathered that the woman, simply identified as Tina, is now a Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP). She was unmasked by a Special Investigation Panel (SIP) constituted by Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris to probe Evans’ 2006 arrest, transfer from Lagos State to Imo State and eventual release.

After the suspect’s arrest last month, a senior police officer told reporters that his team apprehended Evans in 2006 after a bank robbery.

The officer had claimed that Evans and his gang members had a gun duel at the National Theatre in Surulere, Lagos Mainland after a disagreement in sharing their loot, adding that the kingpin was shot and left to die.

According to the officer, Tina, who was a Superintendent of Police (SP) at the time, mounted pressure on them to release Evans and two of his members but when her request was not met, she went through Imo State Command, where a signal was sent for the transfer of the suspects.

As a result of the revelations, IGP Idris constituted a panel to investigate the 2006 arrest, transfer and eventual release of Evans and his members.

The panel was to identify all officers who had a hand in the matter, whether serving or retired.

According to a source, the panel has made “reasonable progress” in its investigation because almost all the officers that took part in the “rape of justice” have been identified.

He said the police might soon release statement on the issue.

The source said: “I can tell you that Tina is not the woman’s real name but I won’t give you her name. I can also tell you she’s now a CSP and still in service. So many officers took part in that 2006/2007 release of Evans and they are being investigated. The panel has made progress and almost all of them have been identified. An official statement might be release by the authorities soon.”

“Dear Tekno, respect yourself” — Read this Open Letter to Tekno.

Dear Tekno, respect yourself.

Dear Tekno

I am your fan. A huge one at that, but, I should call you to order whenever I feel you are attempting misbehavior.

Listen, there is more to life than breakdancing and making a music catalogue with the names of all the girls that ditched you before your success.

One lesson Nigerians in the entertainment industry should learn is that life is hard here. It could take only choosing the wrong partner or fighting for the wrong person for you to become an upcoming again.

Davido and Wizkid have been here before you. This is the wrongest feud to ‘chook’ mouth in. They are mansions. Your career grew from face me I face you to a bungalow after you dropped Pana.

You decided to fight because your friend Davido was told the truth.

I don’t know why Nigerians are allergic to the truth.

Wizkid said Davido possesses a frogs voice and people start wanking as though he blasphemed.

He described Davido’s voice in few sentences. Instead of applauding him for his impeccable summarizing skill people are trying to shade him.

Threatening Wizkid with: “we go soon know who be international” is a very rough play. Your role model wants to be him.

Dude is a burning furnace. He’s a walking and breathing fire. He’s international. Putting Africa on the map with his ‘good’ voice and panache.

Your boss Davido is doing a good job on your head too. At least you sold him your ‘IF’ song which R.Kelly surprisingly jumped on.

They are doing relatively well but even Davido knows that life is more than trumpeting OBO up and down like a horny elephant. He knows this. You do too.

Tekno, its a sad thing you had to gang up with someone that sings about foodstuffs and fruits like you. Y’all are doing keto Music. From cassava to banana. And you’re trading words with a billboard winner?

Chose your enemies wisely. Wizkid isn’t a good enemy.

What he did in 2009 with superstar album cannot be matched with your collection of fruits and plants.

Leave wizkid alone.

I have an unpublished article I wrote about you months ago. I called you a Samsung phone with a Techno casing.

You have potentials. But, never forget that your dream is someone’s reality. Call Kedrick Lamar on the phone for advice.

Sit down son. Be humble.

Your sincerely.
