Meet This Zimbabwean Woman Who Believes She Is Jesus Christ
A Zimbabwean woman believes she is Jesus Christ. The woman identified as Mrs Entrance Nyanyete, had left residents of Mudzimu Unoyera Sect in Chatiza Village, Mashonaland Central’s Guruve District of Zimbabwe to believe the Messiah lives among them.
On Good Friday, March 25, 2016 when journalists visited her home, she was not around but they met her mother Mai Maria (Mother Mary) who actually confessed that she forgot that Easter was just days away.
Amidst some serious sobs, Maria said:
“I had forgotten that it is Easter. You have actually reminded me of my child’s death. This is actually one of the most painful times of my life as it reminds me of the time white people overseas killed my child.”
Her husband, known as “Baba Josefa” (Father Joseph), added:
“You came here to ask about our Easter celebrations. See how painful it is to her? It is painful to celebrate because this is the day Jesus was killed.”
The gathering once again sang as one follower, Mary, wiped “Mai Maria’s” tears and sprinkled deodorant on her clothes, Sunday Mail reported.
Mai Maria said Jesus died 2,000 years ago and was reincarnated as Emmanuel Dzanagare Mudyiwa in 1939. Mudyiwa died in 1989 and the spirit entered her then six-year-old daughter, Tepsy Nyanyete, in 1998.
The sect believes Nyanyete, now 24, is Jesus, and refer to her as Jepsy Nyanyete, Jekia Mambo, Tenzi or Ishe Jesu. Zimbabweans have come to know her as ‘Girl Jesus’.
The followers are so faithful despite the arrest of “Mai Maria” and “Baba Josefa” years back for assaulting police officers who were rescuing 160 children at the shrine.
Mrs Nyanyete said: “For us, every Friday is Easter and we remember how they killed my child many years back. We celebrate it in our own way, with our own rituals, which include crying, singing and dancing.
“We are, however, grateful that Jesus came back, and this time, she will not die. She is not going away anymore. She is set to live forever and rule the earth.”
She led the newsmen to ‘Jesus’ bedroom where a cot, diapers, baby clothes and blankets were neatly arranged and explained that her ‘Jesus’daughter had a great passion for dolls.

Singer Praiz Rejects Having a Babymama: ‘I Rebuke it in Jesus Name!’;
The way Praiz rejected Having a Babymama Ehn…Like’s its a curse or something..
In a new interview with Tribune, Praiz made it known how he feels about the trending style of having children outside wedlock.
“God forbid that. I beg. I reject it in Jesus name,” he said, adding, “I mean, I will like to settle down and I really look forward to settling down.”
When asked why he was still unmarried and if he fears that his fan base would drop due to marriage, he said,
“I don’t think it is true. I used to think like that before, but not anymore. I know a lot of celebrities who are married and are still keeping their fan base stronger. I don’t think marriage will affect my fan base.”
On social media, his comment has drawn mixed reactions from fans. While some are proud of him, others made banters, claiming he is only afraid of having babymamas because he can’t afford to pay N300,000 monthly allowance like Davido does.

You Won’t Believe Someone Walked Out of This Accident Alive Without a Scratch?
First of all, you might find it really hard to believe that someone actually walked out of this car accident alive! He had no scratch, no bruise, not even an internal bleeding. That’s God for you people….That’s God..
Entrepreneur, Tiwa Works, posted these photos of his completely mangled/totaled Porsche Panerama, after he was involved in an accident that caused the car to explode in flames within minutes.
Below is how he narrates his near death experience.
“Life is so delicate and precious. Please don’t ever take it for granted no matter what. Even when we tend to forget how mortal we are as we go through life day to day.
“I’ve been off social media for over a week now just to have personal time to reflect on a lot of things. A week ago, I was involved in this terrible car accident that I am so grateful to God for as I walked out of this completely unharmed. No cuts, no scratches, no burns, nothing happened to me.
“I was on my way home when I tried to avoid hitting a possum (I know now.. Should have ran his ass over) but I ended up hitting the front of a median that tore up my car which then caught fire in less than 10 minutes. As you see, nothing was left except for a part of the hood that didn’t burn. The firefighters couldn’t even put the flames out until 30 minutes later as it burnt continuously due to the full tank of premium gas and as you can see, everything burnt to a crisp, even the doors. The police officers, EMs , people who stopped and tow truck driver were in such shock that I walked out of this myself and was not hurt at all.
“I’ve had many life moments but this one has truly been the scariest but at the same time the most amazing to have been able to walk out on my own free will. Thank you God for always protecting me and affirming that I’m here for a greater purpose that is yet to be fulfilled.
“To friends that may have issues with me for whatever reasons that I’m unaware of, I’m sorry. Please forgive me if I offended or hurt you. Call me, DM or message me.
“Thanks to those who found out , called me to constantly check on me. I love you and truly appreciate you more than you know!! To those I didn’t tell, please don’t be upset with me, I didn’t want you to be worried about me and have a fit. Happy Easter everyone. Love more and be at peace. Never ever take life for granted. #Tiwaworks#Livelife#ThankyouGod#Panamera4”

This Weird Dude Loves Women That Menstruate, Carries Tampons Around In Case Any Female Needs One
Hope you all had a lovely Easter Monday yesterday? Anyhu’s, lemme introduce you to Chance Ward, a man who cares about female menstruation and holds it dear to his heart like his life depends on it. Chance has been hailed a hero after he vowed to make sure all his female friends never lacked tampons.
Chance, who is studying in California, announced in a hilarious post via his Facebook that he will ALWAYS be carrying tampons with him in case any random female he meets is in dire need of one.
Not only that, the female-friendly student has called on all men to follow his example and make sure they are equipped with feminine products at all times – in their house, car, bag, everywhere.
Below is the Facebook post he made that has gone viral.
“So I’m in the gym today (getting my life to Truffle Butter on this elliptical ofc) when the girl next to me asks her friend if she has an extra tampon. Realizing that I overheard, she looked up and literally apologized to me, clearly embarrassed af.
Me being me, I hit ha with the “girl, u gucci” before reaching down into my fanny pack and giving her one of the tampons I keep in there. By the look on her face you would have thought I did a magic trick and pulled 36 titty-tasseled bunny rabbits out that damn bag.
This is so sad. Why don’t y’all love y’all friends that menstruate? Like men will make whole guest rooms in their house just in case someone needs to stay. But god forbid that person menstruate, because I bet you won’t be no extra pads or tampons under that guest bathroom sink.
Like why? Y’all know literally like half this world goes through this?
Ugh anyway to all my menstruating friends, if y’all need it, know I got it. I keep some in my fanny pack when I go to the gym, and some in my backpack all the time. Never feel embarrassed for asking for one. Never feel embarrassed for being human.
@everyone who doesn’t menstruate: keep your menstruating friends in mind and stop being so shitty.”

Tunji Braithwaite Dies At 82
Elder statesman Dr. Tunji Braithwaite is dead, aged 82. He was said to have died at the St. Nicholas Hospital in Lagos.
Before his death, Braithwaite had criticized former leaders, Olusegun Obasanjo and Ibrahim Babangida for making corruption attractive to state governors in the country.
“Obasanjo is not saying anything original because when he assumed office in 1999, I warned that the military constitution would make the governors emperors,” he said during an interview with Punch on Tuesday, February 2, 2016 after Obasanjo accused some governors of living like emperors at the expense of the masses.
“Governors determine security votes which they do not account for. Since 1999, the military constitution clothes them (governors and president) with immunity against being arrested for criminal misdeeds. Many of them brazenly looted the treasury and got away with it. Obasanjo became rich through this structure.
“Something appears to be driving Obasanjo to be making frivolous statements everywhere. He and Babangida made corruption attractive to governors and they elevated corruption in governance which subsequent presidents and governors are emulating,” he added.
Braithwaite was also the founder of the defunct Nigeria Advanced Party (NAP).
Nigerian Pastor Gets Rolls Royce Phantom As His 50th Birthday Gift (Photos)

Eva Alordiah Involved In Car Accident…
Thank goodness for the gift of life though, just like she said…Super stunning rapper, Eva Alordiah, who revealed few days ago that she’ll be quitting her career as a musician shared on her Instagram few seconds ago of how she was involved in a motor accident with her mum’s car.
She wrote her story on IG:
The Accident on 28 March 2016 at 1PM
Part1
2:28PM
The accident happened at 1:00PM
The impact from the car that hit me behind sent my head propelling forward towards my windshield.
I was thankfully restrained by my seat belt.
The resounding clash of metal and tyres screeching kept on ringing in my head.
I could not believe anything could make such a loud bang let alone that I was in an accident.
All of a sudden I realized I was alive.
The woman driving in front of me came out of her car.
The man who hit me behind came out of his car too. Then he put his two hands on his head the way Nigerians are known to do when they realize they are in deep shit.
I thought of My mother and what she would think of her car and this wreck. Then I remembered my life was even more important than a mere car.
I blinked and the police arrived and I was too glad to see them. I wasn’t ready to deal with the man who hit my car, who was now rolling himself on the road beside the wreck, hands on head, hands akimbo, hands back on the head.
“Ahh! Aye mi!” He was saying.
‘All this one is just film’ I thought to myself.
I looked away from his dramatization and searched out an officer to speak with.
“This is my Mom’s car,” I said plainly to the officer who presented himself to me. “Please ensure that this man fixes this damage.”
The Police officer nodded vehemently and said “The Police is your friend, don’t worry.”
We went to the station.
They said we should both write statements.
I called my big brother whom I had spoken to when the accident occured.
“We are in the Police station in Alausa by the traffic light,” I said when he picked up the phone.
He was with me I’m 12minutes.
It wasn’t Until after I had written my statement, Spoken to my Mom and refreshed the events of the afternoon in my mind that I realized the one thing I missed all along.
I had been so preoccupied with the thought that someone had hit me and damaged the car that I failed to realize one simple truth….The Accident on 28 March 2016 at 1PM
Part 2Here I was worrying about my Mom’s car and a man could have lost his life from his wreckless driving. A child would have missed her father. A mother would have been left to wail and grit her teeth. Friends would have been sent in a state of complete shock. It would have been an irreparable loss and nothing to be compared with whatever damage he had caused my Mom’s car.
So as we sat in the police station side by side, I realized my folly and feeling ashamed of myself, I turned to him and said,
“Are you OK? ” he nodded. The look in his eyes was distant.
“Is that your car?” I asked. He nodded again.
“What do you do?”
“Cab driver.”
“Is that your cab?,” My tone had eased up and fallen in pitch. When he said “Yes” in response, I immediately felt sorry for him.
I call my Mom back to tell her the state of things. She is surprisingly cool for someone with a Car OCD. I tell her everything is under control. She says no problem.
I turn to the man who ran into me.
“We thank God for Life,” I said.
He nodded again. Then raised his eyes up to the ceiling. There was a God up there. And my mother would never give me her car again.#ButIAmFine #MyGodPassThem #gratitudeAlways
An article on why the rapper shouldn’t end her music career would be published soon…
6 Nigerian Celebrities Accused of Lying About Their Age
Celebrities worldwide have been known to lie about their date of birth.
International celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Eminem, Nicole Scherzinger have been caught messing with their ages.
Nigerian celebrities are not exempted from this. Many celebs have lied about their ages, reducing it so that they can appear younger to their fans and to the public. Rising pop singer Kiss Daniel is the latest Nigerian celebrity to be caught allegedly tampering with his age.
Below is a list of Nigerian celebrities who have been alleged of falsifying their ages. Courtesy Pulse.ng
1) May D
Circa 2012 just after Psquare and Jude Okoye cut ties with the gifted pop singer there were unconfirmed reports floating around that May D was eighteen years old.
This was probably concocted by a Twitter troll looking to cause some controversy. It should be noted that the singer has not revealed his real age yet.
2) Caroline Danjuma
Last year the industry celebrated the thirty-fourth birthday of the popular actress. Her Wikipedia page said she was thirty four years old and that is what everyone went with.
A few days later surprisingly Caroline Danjuma would claim to be twenty eight years of age and her Wikipedia page was gone from the Internet.

2Face Idibia and Blackface Finally Squash Beef
From the Headies drama to the recent Okoye Brothers messy brouhaha, it seems the year came along with a lot of letting the cat out of the bag. In January, singer Blackface shocked his fans when he made serious allegations against his former Plantashun Boiz member 2Baba, accusing him of stealing his songs. He even stated that he will be taking legal actions against 2Baba. On his part, 2Baba expressed his surprise at the allegations, stating that he had nothing but love and respect for Blackface. ‘We will trash the whole matter but I got nothing but love and respect for him and it is just so unfortunate that he is coming at me like that” he said.
True to his word, the duo finally made peace yesterday.
In an instagram post shared by Faze Oji, who is also a former Plantashun Boiz member, 2Baba and Blackface could be seen dancing and singing together at a party hosted by former militant, High chief Ateka Tom in Rivers State. It is alleged that Ateka was the one who brokered peace between the two artistes.

At the end of the emotion-packed post, Adaeze Yobo said, “Thank you for introducing me to your god.’

Actress, Susan Peters Talks How Marriage Has Affected The Acting Roles She Takes On
Popular Nollywood actress, Susan Peters, who got married in October, in a recent chat spoke about the joy of being married. She also made it known that being married is not affecting the kind of movie roles she takes.
Read excerpts of the interview below:
How does it feel getting married?
It is sweet and it is also sour. You tend not to do all the things you used to do because you are not single any more. It is like a check button, it is a bit different from being single.
What are those things you can no longer do?
Just normal things single ladies do. You cannot do them anymore because people will talk. So, you have to be cautious.
Will your new status influence the kind of roles you play?
No, not really. I am an actor. My husband met me in the job. He should support the job. It doesn’t change me from doing what I used to do. The only thing is, there are some other things I would not do. I will not act as a single lady. That is it. Every other thing maintains the status quo.
Will you take romantic roles or act nude?
I have never acted nude. That has been a no, no for me even before getting married. I don’t support it. I have never acted nude and will not act nude. Of course, you could take off some clothes but not totally nude. In our culture, we don’t allow that. If I try it, my mother in the village will say the village people have followed me to town.
Woman Dies in Car Accident On Her Way To Her Mum’s Funeral
A 48 year old Utah woman, Danielle Marquez-Valle, died in a car crash in southern Utah as she was heading to her mother’s funeral.
A man driving a pickup truck lost control of his truck on Saturday morning and slammed into her pick up which rolled several times. Unfortunately, Danielle was ejected from the passenger seat and pronounced dead at the scene.
The 48 year old driver of the truck and the 28 year old riding with Danielle were both taken to the hospital in serious conditions. Police say neither woman was wearing a seat belt.
The road was wet and icy due to a winter storm according to Good 4 Utah.
The original plan was for Danielle to have her mum’s ashes with her, but those plans changed and she did not have her mother’s ashes with her at the time of the crash.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
Shirley Coates, Danielle’s mother, died earlier this month after a long illness at the age of 68.

MC Oluomo Opens Up On The ‘Braless’ Party He Reportedly Had For His Birthday Last Week
Recall Last week, Pictures from the ‘Braless’ Birthday Party of popular Treasurer of Lagos State chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), Musiliu Akinsanya, a.k.a. MC Oluomo went viral.
In the photos, many of the ladies posted online were braless, so it was assumed that the party was tagged a ‘braless one’. (You can see more photos here)
Well, MC Oluomo has now reacted to the claims.
Read his reaction in this interview with Encomium magazine
“We all know how big Da Place is, and a lot of people come there, including prostitutes.
They only took the pictures of some prostitutes and club girls who were not part of the event, who didn’t even get close to the venue where they organized the party for me, and they posted the pictures to depict my guests.
If you check the pictures very well, you will agree with me that they’re club girls, not my guests.
To cry it loud, I am a devout muslim which I believe everybody knows. I pray five times daily, and I have been to Mecca, Saudi Arabia for both lesser Hajj and full Hajj many times.
Not only that, I have also sent a lot of people to Mecca on pilgrimage, and of course which I do every year. How, for God’s sake, can I be involved in such immorality? How can I organize that kind of a party? What do I stand to gain from such a thing?
“For instance, you as a man, if I invite your wife to such a party, will you allow her to come?
“At this juncture, I believe you also should understand that the whole thing was fabricated by enemies of progress whose aim was to bring me down. But my belief is that the house God has built, no one can demolish it.
“I know I have enemies and there are opposition here and there who may want to do everything to malign me. That can’t happen because Allah is solidly behind me
‘I can never stop acting Yoruba movies’ – Mercy Aigbe Says
Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe, in a recent interview with Punch, has disclosed that she does not intend to stay away from acting in Yoruba movies. She stated that her roles in Yoruba movies made her who she is.
The Edo State born actress gave a clear and precise response to a question pertaining to her Yoruba movie career.
She said, “I can never stop acting Yoruba movies because that industry made me who I am today.”
“When I began featuring in Yoruba films, I wasn’t speaking the language flawlessly, so I had to learn on the job.”
“My industry is very accommodating and that is why I would always be grateful to them for accepting me and giving me a platform to excel.”
She mentioned that it was never her plan to be a regular feature in Yoruba movies. Being from Edo State, she had little exposure in Yoruba language.
Aigbe discouraged the wrong perception associated with Yoruba movie actors. She added that it is a poor misconception to consider them as illiterates.
She was quoted from the interview as saying,
“I didn’t choose to be in the Yoruba movie sector. I started out in Nollywood and I featured in several soap operas and movies.”
“My career took a different direction when a Yoruba film producer cast me in his movie titled Ara.”
“The movie became a hit and I soon began getting scripts from other Yoruba filmmakers and I couldn’t turn them down because I had just launched my career.”
“In no time, I became a household name in the Yoruba film genre.”
Muslim Shopkeeper Murdered Few Hours After Posting ‘Happy Easter’ Message on Facebook
Mr. Shah, 40, was attacked with a knife and his head was stamped on as he was brutally murdered outside his shop in Glasgow around 9pm on Good Friday’s eve.
The popular shopkeeper, originally from the Pakistani city of Rabwah, was apparently enthusiastic to be hosting a meeting with Christian friends about the importance of Easter. He took to Facebook around 5:10pm and posted
‘Good Friday and a very Happy Easter, especially to my beloved Christian nation. Let’s follow the real footstep of beloved holy Jesus Christ and get the real success in both worlds.’
In previous posts, he had spoken out against hatred and violence, calling for ‘unconditional real love for all mankind’.
Four hours after his last post, Mr Shah was in a pool of his own blood at the side of the road.
An ambulance crew arrived and performed CPR on him at the scene, and took him to Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital where he later died.
A shocked and distraught neighbour on the morning of Good Friday said:
“This is disgusting. Mr Shah was the most peace-loving man you could meet.”
He was proud of his Pakistanti heritage but he loved Britain. He loved Scotland too and really wanted to reach out to Christians. This is such a terrible thing to happen.”
“Officers are currently pursuing a positive line of inquiry in connection with the death. Closures are in place at Pollokshaws Road and Titwood Road while inquiries are conducted at the scene,” said a Scotland Police spokeswoman.
Read How This Nigerian Doctor Became The Youngest Doctor in England
Ola Orekunrin, now 30 years from Ilawe-Ekiti in Ekiti State of Nigeria, was born, raised and trained in the UK, where she graduated as one of the youngest medical doctors in England . She is also a trainee helicopter pilot.
While she was studying to become a doctor in the UK, her younger sister fell seriously ill while traveling in Nigeria. The 12-year-old girl, who’d gone to the West African country on holiday with relatives, needed urgent care, but the nearest hospital couldn’t deal with her condition.
Orekunrin and her family immediately began looking for an air ambulance service to rapidly transport the girl, a sickle cell anemia sufferer, to a more suitable healthcare facility. They searched all across West Africa but were stunned to find out there were none in the whole region.
“The nearest one at the time was in South Africa,” remembers Orekunrin. “They had a 12-hour activation time so by the time they were ready to activate, my sister was dead”.
“It was really a devastating time for me and I started thinking about whether I should be in England talking about healthcare in Africa, or I should be in Africa dealing with healthcare and trying to do something about it.”
Orekunrin did the latter. Motivated by the tragic death of her sister, the young doctor decided to leave behind a high-flying job in the UK to take to the Nigerian skies and address the vital issue of urgent healthcare in Africa’s most populous country.
Determined to make a difference in medical practice and health care delivery system in Nigeria, Orekunrin decided to set up Lagos-based Flying Doctors Nigeria, the first air ambulance service in West Africa, transporting victims of medical emergencies, including industrial workers from the country’s booming oil and gas sector.

Acting Yoruba Movies Does Not Make Us Illiterates – Ronke Odusanya
Nollywood actress, Ronke Odusanya, is not happy with the way some people perceive actors who act in Yoruba movies as people who do not understand the English language.
The actress stated that someone had pissed her off after she shared a video of herself speaking English in a sitecom she is currently working on and the person came to intimidate her that Yoruba actors are not good at spoken English.
She noted that acting is not about language but about the ability to give life to a scripted character.
According to her, “A few days ago, I had to respond to a fan who insinuated an intimidation between English and Yoruba Actors because I posted a video clip from an English sitcom I’m currently shooting.
Now, she believed that because I chose to do Yoruba movies, then i can’t speak English. I know the reaction I have gotten when I go for an interview and the interviewer feels i can’t be exposed enough…. just because I do Yoruba movies. E ma gba mi ke. Laughs.”
“My response to the lady was simple; Acting has nothing to do with your language… its about your ability to give life to a scripted character. This transcends language. We have seen a British Actor (Idris Elba) play Mandela with the right accent. We have seen American Actors play a Russian character and deliver well with the right accent. The language you speak doesn’t determine your acting capacity. Acting is a beautiful profession. Can we just enjoy the act and stop criticizing so much,” she added.
