So much has been said about Daniel Christos, the man whose uncanny resemblance to Jesus Christ is unmistakable.
He is currently in Kenya in the company of his wife-a fellow traveler who has accompanied him all the way from Perth, Australia where he resides.
Christos who says that he is not in any way the Messiah says that he was appalled by Kenyans who said that he was pretending to be Jesus.
He asked Kenyans to be a little more considerate even more so with Jesus when he returned to the world during the apocalypse.
Last weekend, photos of him at a local watering joint lit up the internet- paradoxically, he wasn’t turning water into wine- he was smoking Sheesha.
Speaking to the media, Christos says he’s just an innocent traveler and his only resemblance to Jesus is his name Christos which means ‘anointed’
A man in Uganda has been arrested for pretending to be a woman and fleecing unsuspecting men of their money.
Ivan Bebeto was arrested by police in Kampala after several men claimed that he took money from them under false pretenses.
Most of them described him as a beautiful woman who wore a wig, short skirt and make up.
The man, who calls himself Queen, has been operating through East and Central Africa including Nairobi (Kenya), Kampala (Uganda), Bujumbura (Burundi) and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania).
“It is not easy to discover that he is a man because he knows how to groom himself to look persuasively woman-like,” said a source.
“He wears feminine perfume and when he goes clubbing, he hangs out predominantly with women, especially commercial sex workers.”
Bebeto was arrested after a man who was interested in him paid for sexual favours, believing she is a woman.
He kept giving the man excuses why he couldn’t sleep with him even though he had already received a down payment from the wealthy man.
Bebeto said he could not go to his house, claiming he felt more comfortable in his room, and thus asked the supposed customer to accompany him to a room where he kept his items.
It’s from this that the man suspected Babeto might be a criminal pretending to be a girl. He quickly informed the police who raided the apartment only to be shocked that he was a man and not a woman after questioning him.
British –born Nollywood actor Kalu Ikeagwu has expressed his fears of fatherhood as he said that he was a bit apprehensive about being a dad because whenever he remembers how unruly he was as a child, he fidgets.
Kalu Ikeagwu who said he needed just four kids prayed for God’s grace to be able to train them well amidst strange forces that seems to influence children.
Speaking about his new wife after tying the knot months ago said he was really grateful to God for giving him a beautiful and God fearing woman who serves as a companion to him.
“I got everything I asked for and more. Marriage has been everything I wanted and even more. I have the best in-laws, I have a daughter, stepdaughter and my wife is such a joy and exactly what I prayed for, a companion,” he said.
Being an impatient person the actor said he loves his wife because she has come to accept him the way he is. She is beautiful, talks intelligently, and she doesn’t invade his space.

A final year student of the University of Nigeria Nsukka studying Agric Economics has taken his life.
According to his friend, Nwachukwu Daniel Ikechukwu, who yesterday posted the photo on Facebook, the young man killed himself over a debt. Apparently, he lost some money to betting.
Despite the numerous campaigns in various institutions of higher learning to end cultism and violence, the malaise still has a way of rearing its ugly head every now and again.
It has again reared its head in the polytechnic town of Auchi, Edo state, as about four persons are feared dead in a renewed cult clash in and around the town. The recent clash was between members of the Eiye and Black Axe confraternities.
According to The Guardian, the cult clash began Thursday after the completion of the end of the session examination by the federal polytechnic Auchi. The report suggests that trouble began when members of the two groups had an altercation at a graduation party organised by a certain student on Thursday. The party was in direct violation of a school rule which banned end of session celebrations and partying in the school because they usually ended in catastrophe.
One of the victims was reportedly taken out along the Benin-Auchi-Okene highway while the other three were murdered in various other locations within the school premises.
When contacted, Public Relations Officer of the Edo state Police Command, Moses Nkombe, said he was yet to be briefed on the incident.
Toke Makinwa’s much talked about book is out… and in Chapter 8 of the book (Hurt) she revealed how her ex-husband, Maje Ayida infected her with a disease after returning from a trip.
Below is what she wrote:
The chapter is titled “Hurt”.
So far, Maje Ayida hasn’t reacted to all these stories about him from his ex-wife that paints him as being evil.
He broke Toke’s heart, cheated on her many times, got his babymama pregnant while married to her, caused her to bleach her skin, she watched his sex-tape with Anita and almost lost her mind, he almost drove her to commit suicide by drinking Dettol and now this – he also gave Toke an STD.
Sighs!
Nigerian singer Davido paid a visit to Stamford Bridge and was pictured with Chelsea footballers Hazard, Luiz, Costa, Azpilicueta, and Moses after their 2- 1 defeat of Tottenham on Saturday.
We brought you the photos early this morning. Remember right.
Now, To honor his visit, Chelsea FC surprisingly published the pictures on their official Facebook page.
And then Nigerians took over the Chelsea Football Club Facebook page to rant about how Davido was kneeling on the floor:
President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday congratulated the Ondo State Governor-elect, Chief Oluwarotimi Akeredolu (SAN), describing his victory at the Saturday governorship election in the state as “a well-deserved victory.”
In a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President also congratulated the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun; the Chairman of the Campaign Committee, Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State, and all party faithful who he said put in their best and braved the odds to ensure a successful outing for the party’s candidate.
He rejoiced with the people of the state who he said aligned with his own belief that Akeredolu, with his pedigree, possesses the qualities to transform the state into the Ondo of their dreams.
“From the beginning, this election set out to be a different kind of election. The unity and resilience of the party was tested. I am happy we came out of this victorious.
“This is a huge win. The mood today is against corruption, insecurity and for the restoration of the economy and the creation of jobs. This is where the party stands and I am happy that the electorate has read the situation correctly,” said the President.
Despite the fear of insecurity and past incidents of terrorist attacks in this town near Abuja, New Nyanya is peaceful as it witnesses social and religious activities.
It was indeed a day of joy for parishioners of St. Sylvester Catholic Church New Nyanya in Karu Local Government Area of Nasarawa State as eighty couples were given the sacrament of matrimony by the Catholic Bishop of Lafia Diocese, Most Reverend Dr. Mathew Ishaya Audu.
A statement signed by the Public Relations of the Church, Ewache John Ajefu noted that the ceremony was unique and historic in the anals of St. Sylvester Catholic Church history.
The marriage ceremony and the Sacrament of Confirmation put together by the Parish Priest of St. Sylvester Catholic Church New Nyanya, Reverend Father Lawrence Soja Anyembugu, were part of the key activities lined up for first pastoral visit of the Bishop to the Independent Mission.
Speaking at the occasion, the Bishop admonished the couples to cloth themselves with the love of Christ in order to have a sustainable marriage life, stressing that marriage without love is meaningless.
Citing many examples of causes of breakage in marriage life, Bishop Mathew Audu called on them to avoid pitfalls that would lead to regrets, adding that exemplary Christian life was key to successful marriage.
New Nyanya is a town in Nasarawa State. It is a district of Karu Local Government Area, Nasarawa State, and is among the towns that make up the Karu Urban Area, a conurbation of towns stretching into the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). New Nyanya is loosely considered as part of the metropolitan area of Abuja.
Davido’s baby mama, mother of one, Sophia Momodu, took her Snapchat account to shade ladies who criticze single mothers when they all end up having abortions every weekend.
She wrote:
“First of all!!! Half these hoes judging you bout being a single mom get abortions every other weekend! Bitch take your murderous asses away from meh! All the kids you don killed are waiting for you on judgement day”
Nigerian transvestite, Bobrisky, has explained why his old practice of Islam would have been a hindrance to his current celebrity status.
The bleaching specialist whose real name is Idris Okuneye said the daily rituals observed in praying as a Muslim would have been too rigorous for him.
He disclosed all these in an interview published by Vanguard News on Saturday, November 26, 2016.
“I am not a practicing Muslim.
“If I have to be a practicing Muslim, I will have to do ablution five times a day and apply make-up after each ablution and that will be very stressful.
“I started going to church as an undergraduate. My room-mate was one of the executives of the Christian Fellowship.
“So I got fascinated and usually joined them to pray. I know prayer works and do that daily.
“My Muslim name is Idris. I don’t really have a Christian name. But I use ‘Olanrewaju’ as cover; by this, people will not know if I am a Christian or a Muslim.”
Luckily for him, his father allowed him the choice of deciding which religion he wants to practice. A rather uncommon privilege in the Nigerian society.
Bobrisky recently made the news round after it was alleged that he beat up a lady who took pictures of him.
This went on to become a police matter according to many reports.
It is no longer news that Zahra Buhari, the pretty daughter of President Muhammadu Buhari was scheduled to wed in the next couple of days with the wedding programme starting on Tuesday 30th of November.
The plans have however been altered, according to the latest reports originating from the family. Independent sources also confirmed this.
According to sources, the wedding Fatiha has now been scheduled for 9th December, 2016. This implies that it has been moved forward by a week.
The reason given for shifting of the wedding is that there is a state visit from a prominent monarch to Nigeria on the day earlier slated for the wedding fatiha and having insisted that he wants to be there at the wedding, the President’s views and position has to be respected.
Meanwhile, we have confirmed that apart from the wedding Fatiha, four other activities are lined up with three of them in Abuja.
These include a dinner by the wife of the President, Aisha Buhari which is to kick-start the whole programme in Abuja. The dinner has been slated for the Banquet hall of the State House. After the dinner comes another dinner by the wife of the Senate President and the last one by the family of the bride. For security reasons, we have been warned keep the other venues as well as dates and times off the media.
It was also learnt that the wedding continues to be a hush hush thing because the powerful forces in the Villa wanted it kept as a total secret until journalists broke the ice.
Indeed, up till date, wedding invitation cards are yet to be sent out despite the fact that ASO Ebi has been purchased. It is as bad as that, our sources confirmed.
Because of the President’s averse to having a wedding that becomes a major issue in the media, no information is being sent out.
Moreover the hawks in the Presidency who want to get back at the wife of the President over her outbursts in the interview with BBC weeks back have also seen an opportunity for them to clip her wings and ensure that what would have come in terms of support from outside of the Villa do not come.
Ordinarily, a source said that she would have bee receiving visitors and goodwill messages by now and such goodwill would have translated into billions of Naira for her daughter’s wedding.
The hawks were quick to point out that it would be bad publicity for the President if the formal announcement is made now and such things happen hence, they must keep the wedding as secret as possible till the last minute.
Sometime back, I was on my way to drop off some items for a friend. I was on a bus and settled in at the back and two male youth corps members got in after me and sat beside me.
The journey had not been long when they began a very loud discussion on girls and relationships. I normally listen to music but on that day, I wasn’t with my earphones, so, I was treated to story after story of their sex lives, and then the talk shifted to “passing girls around.”
These two young men were actually engaged in a serious discussion about the different girls that they slept with and dumped. These guys were not only talking about who they passed to whom after they had finished with the girls, they were actually sharing messages and pictures in the bus!
This issue of ladies giving out nude pictures to random guys that they are dating and then ending up in trouble later on is something I have talked and written about many times and very few people actually believe it.
Nothing was sacred. I had to even look over to be sure this wasn’t some ruse but there it was. Pictures, chats and all! One even declared in vulgar terms that he hates it when he has slept with a lady and gotten tired of her, then passes her to one of his friends and she messes up that new relationship; that is if you can even call that a relationship in the first place!
He says such a girl was being foolish and that if she would only behave herself and also gives the new guy all the sex and attention he wants, she may end up marrying him. I found it very shocking that someone with a functioning brain could actually say such not to talk of thinking about it.
For him, what he has done is alright and has no bad side but the lady in question is wrong for deciding not to sleep with some new guy?
It did not end there. The other corps member agreed with him and said such girls were just noise-makers and horrible individuals. In his opinion, they should be happy and sleep with the new boyfriend, wash, cook and clean for him and then she could see if they had a future together.
When I see such people, I often wonder and sometimes ask if they would be happy to see their own sister in such a position. Who raises these boys and what are they teaching them?
Those two were actually praising themselves as gods, masters of sex and deception (since the girls didn’t know they were “used” and dumped with style then stylishly handed over for “reuse” by another person) and yet they were offended that the new guy the ladies are with do not get sexed up too and waited on? Is that not a high level of foolishness and brazen stupidity?
I keep telling ladies to be careful with such guys but some will never listen. If you want to wash, cook and steam up his bed all day and night, no problem. It is your life, but do not think this is not exactly how some of you end up – passed around like a used rag from guy to guy.
Not every guy is worth your time and attention! Do not be so desperate to be in a relationship, loved and married that you just settle for any Temi, Ayo or Uche! Have standards! Use your head for goodness sake!
I don’t, for a second, doubt that many ladies sleep with such guys, cook and clean for them and then may end up marrying the person. I won’t twist it to suit my personal beliefs but, it doesn’t change the fact that a lot of time it doesn’t work that way. Ladies need to be careful.
The corps members I talked about have naked pictures, recordings and chats of girls they had slept with and records of how they were transacted like money from one guy to the other.
Who’s to say they won’t use them tomorrow to disgrace them or get money from them? Is it worth it?

Christmas came early for some hardworking Nigerians, and they include the mother of Nigeria’s top blogger, Linda Ikeji, and singer Sound Sultan.
Yesterday, the photos of the new whip Ms Ikeji bought for her mum surfaced on social media, and the elderly woman broke down in tears as she took delivery of the 2016 Acura MDX whose starting price is a whopping $43,000. over ₦19m.
Asia Mekole and India Janee and their mother were born with the same genetic facial deformity. In a childhood photo of the two girls with their mother, Asia explained to the public that despite their deformities, they still live life to the fullest.
“As the world is viewing this photo, their seeing something that they’ve never seen before. Which form questions and images inside their head. But let me tell you something, this right here is what you call God’s masterpiece! His handiwork from his bare hands!
We were his chosen child because he knew, that we would make a difference in this world by showing (proving) people different! Not only that but also, embracing ourselves, inspiringly! Not everybody knows what one another is really cable of because people so quick to call somebody out and judge.
But I can damn sure say that over the years people’s opinion and words does not effect me at all anymore! I learnt that disliking who you are as a human being is disliking god’s work.
Different body size, you not liking how tall you are, having acnes, big boobs, naturally skinny, don’t like the way your hair is, skin color, just have trouble loving yourself in general, baby embrace that shit because from my perspective, nothing is going to fade (go) away as you ‘please’ until you start building the confidence to appreciate who you are! So any irrelevant comments, ignorant ass people will get block!”
Kim Kardashian has been left ‘furious’ by husband Kanye West’s latest on stage meltdown and thinks it’s time for him to ‘grow up, stop having tantrums and be a man’, according to friends.
The news of Kim’s fury came just hours before West was hospitalized for his own safety after suffering a psychotic breakdown..
‘Kim is fed up,’ a close friend told DailyMail.com.
‘They’ve been bickering constantly – she didn’t want Kanye to do the tour in the first place. She wanted him by her side as she recovered from her traumatic robbery in Paris.
‘She lost days with him while he’s touring and then he made a rash decision to end the concert after ten minutes and go on a rant.’
The 36-year-old, who was seen boarding a private jet bound for New York without her husband on Monday morning, has spent the past month reassessing her future – with her career at the forefront of her mind.
West’s ‘narcissistic’ behavior has proved problematic and friends tell DailyMail.com that she wants him to ‘grow up and be a man’ and be a proper source of support for her.
She wants him to grow up and really be a man, stop throwing tantrums and thinking throwing a tantrum on stage is more important than being with your children, especially after she just went through this horrible ordeal,’ explained an insider.
‘That’s messed up. Her heart and soul need to be nurtured right now. She wishes that person was Kanye but she’s realizing right now that it’s probably not.
‘Kanye is not helping matters at all – first by not supporting her and then by going off on an erratic rant.’
According to friends, Beyoncé taking the Video of the Year Award at this year’s Video Music Awards, combined with his belief that the singer and her husband Jay-Z didn’t show enough support for Kim after she was robbed, proved the ‘final straw’ for the notoriously volatile rapper.
‘He had a psychotic break. Kanye is very hot tempered and he’s very reactionary. A lot of times, he speaks before he thinks and he’s very sensitive,’ explained an insider .
When he heard about Beyoncé demanding to get Video of the Year, which means he wouldn’t have won.
‘And he won’t win if she gets her deal with MTV. There’s also the fact that she didn’t reach out to Kim or come and visit after her ordeal. He took it really hard.’
West’s Saint Pablo tour, which kicked off in July, had proved a critical success – with many of the dates, including three nights at the Los Angeles Forum, selling out.
Saturday night’s concert at Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center, which was added to the tour by the rapper ‘due to popular demand’, was also sold out.
But West’s decision to add extra dates to the tour did not go down well with his 36-year-old wife who is said to be fed up with of his ‘narcissistic behavior’ and lack of support.
Culled.

Pictured above is Daniel Christos who many kenyans claimed was Jesus the Messiah.
On Wednesday, November 23rd.. Daniel was spotted in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) dressed in a long rob and walking barefooted through the streets. He was described as Jesus Christ look-alike.. He was of course overwhelmed by the attention he had attracted.
Daniel Christos, however raised concerns of a life-threatening remark in which an individual suggested he be beaten and crucified as the real Messiah.
He wrote:
“I arrived in Kenya less than 2 weeks ago from Ethiopia and have been welcomed with so much enthusiasm like I’ve never experienced before in my life .”
“Kenyan people in general have been very friendly and loving. Until I find this photo of me circulating online. I feel a little concerned by this person’s comments. I don’t know who wrote it and I don’t know if it was just a joke or if they were serious, but it has made me a little uncomfortable to walk in the streets of Nairobi”
“I AM NOT JESUS! I HAVE NEVER PRETENDED TO BE. I am a traveller who has come to your country as a visitor,”
“I would hope that one day if Jesus does return you treat him with a little more respect than you have treated me,”

I have the right to post anything i like on your page. Do you expect me to join your poverty caliber? Useless people.

By virtue of what they do, celebrities are well-loved by people who they don’t even know. That is why they are usually besieged by ‘strange’ fans and well-wishers whenever they step out in public places.
It is a fact that some fans can be rather unruly and overzealous whenever they meet these stars. Some of them could be out-rightly rude, and it wouldn’t be out of place to put them in their place.
Take a look at some of the Nigerian celebs who have physically assaulted their fans and staff.

Nollywood comedy actor, Bolaji Amusan, better known as Mr. Latin, and his wife, Oluronke, share their love story in this Punch Newspaper interview, enjoy!
How did you meet your wife?
Mr. Latin: I met her while strolling along my office one day at Isabo in Abeokuta, Ogun State. I asked her out but as an actor, she merely laughed off my request. I pestered her for some time and she eventually agreed after two and half years. We got married in 1999.
What initially attracted you to your spouse?
Mr. Latin: I was swept off by her beauty, straightforwardness and sincerity.
Oluronke: He was very different from all my other suitors. I like his honesty above everything.
For how long did you date before marriage?
Oluronke: We dated for two years before we decided to get married.
Was there any initial objection to your marriage?
Oluronke: Yes. My father initially objected to our relationship but my husband later won him over.
Mr. Latin: Her father initially objected to our union because he loves her daughter so much. At the time, nobody wanted to give his daughter out in marriage to an actor. But after observing that I was truly in love with his daughter, he gave his blessing for us to marry.
Whose idea was it that you should live in Nigeria while your wife and children stay in Dublin, Ireland?
Mr. Latin: It was the idea of the two of us. There was a long strike by teachers at a time and we thought such would not give our children what we really wanted for them. We decided to relocate but because of the nature of my job, I cannot stay over there with them.
Oluronke: It was a mutual agreement between my husband and I.
How has it been maintaining distant relationship?
Mr. Latin: We spoke almost 10 times every day. I woke them up with telephone call in the morning to speak with my wife and children till they are off to school. We also chat on WhatsApp and do video call almost every day. I do go to visit them and they come to Nigeria as well.
Oluronke: There is no discomfort because we manage to keep the communication going and this has helped us in building healthy relationship.
What domestic chores do you help your wife to do?
Mr. Latin: When I am with them abroad, we do almost everything together, including washing clothes.
How often do you hang out with your wife because of the distance?
Mr. Latin: When she is around, we go out together and whenever I am with them abroad, she takes me out.
Are the qualities you first noticed in your wife before marriage still intact?
Mr. Latin: The qualities are even more now. She is very supportive of me morally and financially. She takes good care of me and the children.
Is your husband a comedian at home?
Oluronke: Yes, he is very funny at home. He lightens my mood with jokes whenever I am angry.
How do you handle your husband’s female admirers?
Oluronke: It was hard at first coping with all his female fans but now, it’s not a problem because I understand him completely.
How do you cope with your female admirers?
Mr. Latin: I cope very well with my female fans but I do not go to the extreme. If a female fan admires me, I will appreciate her and that is all. I am happily married with children.
When did you have your first disagreement and over what?
Mr. Latin: The first disagreement was when I told my wife to leave me at a time that I had no money to take care of her. She told me point-blank that marriage should be for better and for worse. This is why I call her my small mummy.
Who apologises first whenever there is a disagreement?
Mr. Latin: Apology comes from either of us. She may be the one to apologise and I may be the one. It is not about who is at fault. We just try to maintain peace and move on.
What do you enjoy most when watching the films he features in?
Oluronke: I enjoy the fact that he is 100 per cent committed to his role and he does the best he can.
What have been the challenges of a distant relationship?
Oluronke: Not getting to see him everyday has been the most challenging but he comes over as much as he can and I appreciate his efforts in that regard.
What lessons have you learnt from marriage?

Read their love story below:
It all started in my dad’s church many years ago. He and his family members joined our church newly. He knew how to play the talking drum while I could sing, so we were both in the choir but we didn’t use to talk to each other.
On our church anniversary day, he walked up to me and asked for my phone number. I immediately gave it to him without hesitation and we started communicating from that day. I believe we can all remember those good old days of MTN extra cool. It was fun because he taught me how to love because I never knew how to love before he came into my life. He is my first and last love.
I started developing feelings for him till I fell head over heels in love with him. Then he travelled back to kano and I was afraid he won’t come back. As God would have it, he came back and our love continued.
Along the line, we faced several challenges and oppositions.One fateful Sunday evening, my parents sent my elder sister Mrs Bukola Davies, Adepemi and Blessing Adegorite to go and scare him to stop dating me. And at this time, his mother and elder sister were in Lagos to visit his elderly brother, (Prophet R.O Ikotun).
Thank God his brother was not at home because it would have been a different story that day. But His elder sister showed them hell and their plans failed.
My parents gave me the beating of my life that same night I fainted and all my body were full of marks and stain of blood but to no avail.
To the glory of God, admist all the oppositions, we sailed through and here we are today.
There’s this common saying that “Man proposes and God disposes”. It can also be the other way round. God can propose and man may try all he can to dispose it but will always fail. Whatever God has destined to be would be no matter the amount of stones thrown at it.
