Controversial Ghanaian music producer and radio entertainment pundit, Emmanuel Bance, popularly known as Mr. Logic, has said that hell does not exist.
Speaking in a recent interview on the Day Break Hitz show on Hitz FM in Accra, he also asserted that there will be no judgement day as Christianity preaches.
According to him, God does not have the time to line people up and ask them questions about how they lived their lives on earth.
“Death in itself is a punishment. There’s no hell anywhere. God doesn’t have the time to line up people to ask them how many people they slept with and all that. God doesn’t have time for that. There’s no such thing in the Bible.” He said.
In related news, a viral video of a popular Nigerian pastor assuring his congregation that sin can never take a man to hell has stirred controversy on social media.
According to the clergy man, it’s impossible for an unrepentant sinner to go to hell because Jesus Christ died to pay for the sins of men.
Speaking during a church service the preacher emphasized that Jesus’ death was not an accident, but he died intentionally to pay for the sins of men so that sin cannot claim those that have faith in Christ.

President Muhammadu Buhari says he is leaving not any inheritance for his children beyond the training and education he gave them.
Buhari made the statement in Daura, Katsina as he implored parents to inculcate right values in children, including the fear of God, respect for constituted authorities and living a purposeful life through continuous education.
In his words; “I was locked up for more than three years, after leading the country. At that point, I realised and I told my children that your net worth is what is in your head, not what you have acquired in life.
My focus has always been on training the children to be relevant wherever they find themselves. I told my children, particularly the girls, that they can only get married after getting first degree.
They already know that I am not leaving anything for anyone to inherit. My greatest legacy to the children is to ensure they are properly educated.
We should ensure the children get proper education. The knowledge they acquire should not be towards getting government jobs. We don’t have jobs in government anymore. With technology, governments are becoming more smaller, nimble and efficient.
Emphasis should now be on skills acquisition and competence in creation and deployment of technology. During the Covid-19, we asked all level 12 downward to stay at home, and surprisingly the systems worked effectively.”

“Is it true that you and yomi dey fight because of s3x for role?”, the fan asked.
Replying, Bimpe said the allegations are not true and he didn’t and he didn’t ask her out until they finished the movie they were both working on.
However, she said he told her that if he knew she would turn him down, then he would have asked her out before they shot the movie.
She added that when he asked her out, he insisted in either dating her or being enemies with her, so she made her choice.
In her words,
No! in fact he didn’t ask me out till we finished his I movie I featured in (tho he said if he knew I was going to turn him down then he would have done that before shooting the movie”.

We were in rehearsals one day at the main bowl…and I was told to go call Ms Enem to come and take a look at what we had rehearsed. And as I opened the curtain, I just heard this incredible voice that went ‘Wow! This is the standard of the woman I’m going to marry.’ And I’m like what kind of standard line is that, and I looked him up and down and, I thought it, what rubbish.
“But, he came over to rehearsals and was just such a wonderful person to work with. He realised he had made a faux pas and tried to get in my good graces after that. And we became excellent friends,”

Meanwhile, massive reactions have trailed a video from the 2022 Ojude Oba Festival which held in Ijebu Ode, Ogun state, on Monday, July 11.
The festival is an annual traditional event that brings men and women from Southwest Nigeria for a carnival-like celebration of the traditional, cultural and spiritual accomplishments of Ijebuland.
A video from the festival was shared online to give netizens a glimpse of how it went down, and it has garnered different reactions due to the heavy downpour.
In the video, multitudes of men and women are seen defying the rain to participate in the festival. They were matching and parading with a banner under the rain.
Reacting to the video, social media users wondered why they couldn’t get a ‘rainmaker’ to stop the rain from falling pending the duration of the festival as it’s a common belief that rainmakers can control the rain in the Southwest region of Nigeria.
Some others questioned if ‘jazz’ is no longer working in Yorubaland because they expected the traditionalists to ‘hold the rain’.
A woman from Kentucky, United States, Renee Parsons, almost lost her life after picking up a dollar bill she found on the ground over the weekend.
The mum of two took to Facebook to recount the horrid incident that took place on Sunday, July 10, while she and her husband with their two children were heading to a conference in Dallas, Texas.
She said they stopped at a McDonald’s in Bellevue, Tennessee, and while there, she spotted a dollar bill on the ground and decided to pick it up.
Within few minutes, her body went numb and she couldn’t talk, move and could barely breathe after which she lost consciousness.
Describing how she felt, Renee said, “It’s almost like a burning sensation, if you will, that starts here at your shoulders, and then it just goes down because it’s almost like it’s numbing your entire body.”
Her husband, Justin, who was scared of losing his wife sprung into action and drove her to a nearby hospital – St. Thomas Ascension Hospital – where medics quickly administered treatment on her.
She eventually regained consciousness and became well after fours hours and was discharged from the hospital.
Meanwhile, there are conflicting reports as to what led to her condition. While the hospital diagnosed her with accidental drug overdose, some opined that the dollar bill was laced with Fentanyl which caused her to suffer an adverse reaction.
Renee who has used her experience as an example, warned people against picking up stray cash from the ground.
“The [moral], I don’t care if it’s a $20 bill or a $100 bill do not touch it!!!” she warned on Facebook.

A Nigerian writer has sparked a debate online after he averred that marriage is a woman’s greatest achievement.
The young man made this assertion while urging men not to pursue women for marriage, pointing out that it is a woman’s responsibility.
According to him, a woman should be the one approaching a man for marriage because getting married is her greatest achievement.
He suggested that a woman hasn’t really accomplished anything until she gets married, no matter how great her accomplishments may be.
His stance stirred varying reactions from tweeps on the micro-blogging platform. While some agreed with him, a host of others believe that the narrative has changed.

“A woman who wants to marry you should be the one reminding you about wedding/marriage. That’s her greatest achievement. Some of you men are ignorant of this, and na you the marriage dae shack for body”.
