I’m beginning to get more curious and furious about this, it has been
going on for about four years now and people are not seeing anything
wrong about it or I say his members are brainwashed to the highest order
not to see anything wrong in this?
Someone should please call this Christ Embassy church to order, every
year they charge people coming to worship with them on the 31st night
the sum 1000 naira as a gate fee. In the previous years they sell
tickets before the show sorry I mean service, so all who wants to attend
the 31st night service must come with their tickets to enter the church
auditorium. hmmmm!!
But this year they decided to craft another means of collecting this
1000 naira, they made it compulsory for each attendees to purchase an
electronic gate pass for 1000naira.
My question is, are they going to dance to the melody of a superstar
singer or dance to sound of a superstar DJ? Even the huge yearly program
“The Experience” is free, someone should please call this Loveworld ministry aka Christ Embassy to order, reaping off our gullible citizens. Whats your say about this?
Just when we thought we had seen it all, supermodel Powede
Lawrence wore a dress that shocked so many as she graced the red carpet.
The beautiful damsel wore a dress made out of Access Bank cards to the Music Meets Runway event that held last night.
The ex-beauty queen and 2013 MBGN Tourism was the cynosure of all
eyes as paparazzi couldn’t stop taking pictures of the 24-year-old
certified nurse and her Access Bank Card dress.
The surprising gown was designed by artistic fashion designer, Bola Yinka-Obebe, from Marayah O.
Recall that recently Powede launched her foundation called Powede
Lawrence Foundation. The aim of the foundation is to advocate for people
living with disabilities and the less privileged in the
The Diamond on the ring was too small. That's the apparent reason that
could be deduced after a Chinese woman turned down her boyfriend's
marriage proposal.
The poor guy was down on one knee, proposed with a
bunch of red roses, surrounded by dancers he’d hired specially for the
event and was being watched by dozens of onlookers when his girlfriend
turned and walked off.
At first, she seemed to be thrilled by the performance on a street in
Chengdu, the capital city of south-west China’s Sichuan province, and at
one point started to cry as her boyfriend walked towards her. But
surprised everyone by walking away after seeing the ring her boyfriend
was proposing with.
In a screen shot of a message sent to her friend after the attempted proposal, she complained.
“Before we agreed on a one carat diamond ring. Why is it so small? Is he so careless or he just doesn’t care?”
It's not clear when the incident took place but the photographs have
been circulating online in China. Many people on Weibo, China's
equivalent of Twitter, said that she didn't deserve the proposal.
Selena Gomez, 23, has reacted at the alleged affair with her ex, Justin Bieber, 21, and Kourtney Kardashian, 37, and reports say she's furious.
According to Hollywod
Life, the singer was 'devastated’ when the news broke that Justin has
been having a 4-month fling with Kourtney that overlapped with when he
serenaded her by singing 'My Girl' in the lobby of The Montage Hotel on
November 20! That’s when she flipped out and sent him very angry text
messages!
In Touch magazine claims Gomez flipped out on Kourtney and reportedly called her up. Then she sent Justin a slew of angry texts.
"Selena
texting Justin and expressed how used she felt, since they’d just
hooked up around the time of the American Music Awards. But his response
was, ‘You know how this business works,’ meaning he did it for the
publicity.'" Yikes, we really hope this isn’t true but this is low!
“Selena thinks it’s bizarrely incestuous and doesn’t understand why Kourtney would go there after her sisters," an insider also tells the magazine. “Selena’s telling people she think it's sick for Justin to be hooking up with so many people in the same family."
But Kourtney’s family also reportedly thinks it’s gross too! “[They] think it’s crazy that she hooked up with their ex.Kendall was just hooking up with him earlier this year. She feels betrayed," the mag claims.

When Lawrence Anini, the Edo State born kingpin and arguably Nigeria’s most talked about bandit of the 80s, was at the peak of his reign, little did he know that several years later, a successor would take up the mantle and dwarf anything he ever did.
Up came 36-years-old Abiodun Egunjobi, alias Godogodo, who rose from being a slum boy to the leader of a gang that defied all reasons, struck with precision, killed without mercy and terrorised Lagos and the south west with reckless abandon.
Before his arrest on August 1, 2013, Godogodo, also known as the one-eyed assassin, gave the Lagos State Police Command so much headache for 14 years, so much so that on the day he was arrested, the command erupted in joy: at least its men would be safe from his guns.
Originally from Ogun State, Egunjobi was on the wanted list of the police for over 10 years and the way he managed to evade the police is still legendary.
In fact, he was at a time, on the top of the Most Wanted list of the Command with several Police Commissioners assigning the toughest of cops on his trail.
At that time, any robbery in Lagos had the imprint of Godogodo, with him leading or one of his boys being responsible.
He was famed for leading many robbery operations, especially on banks, with the infamous reputation of killing over 100 policemen in Lagos State.
See how police officers jubilated Godogodo’s capture.
Godogodo allegedly went for operations with a bag containing 10 fully loaded AK 47 rifles with 30 rounds of ammunition each and as such, he was fully prepared in terms of weapons on his back.
It was gathered that Godogodo used to tell his gang members that he would never be arrested alive and had vowed to go down with as many policemen as possible on the day he is unable to escape arrest.
This vow was later found to be real, as anti-robbery detectives recovered several loaded AK47s, each with 60 rounds of live ammunition, from different parts of his residence, including the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, sitting room on the day of his arrest.
He was so good at disguising his criminal activities that even his wife and family members never knew what he was into. He had six houses in different locations including Lagos, Ogun and Ondo States, and never stayed in a particular location for more than a month.
He had over 52 fish ponds and passed for a successful businessman, respected by all. he never drank, smoked, womanised nor socialised, portraying himself as a very responsible family man, but deep down, he was as deadly as a mamba.
In the beginning
Godogodo began his voyage into the deadly world of crime after spending seven years in prison for what he considered a minor offence. As a scrap dealer in the slum of Gatankowa, Abule-Egba, he was involved in a fight and the police arrested him. With no one to bail him out, Godogodo was sent to jail and in his mind, he believed his going to prison was an injustice and blamed the police for it.
While in prison, he became acquainted with more deadly armed robbers and formed an alliance with them and took time to understudy them.
When he finally left prison, he decided that he was going to deal with the police for sending him to prison for seven years.
Godogodo
As a precursor to actualising his decision, he took some time to study the psyche of an average policeman and used the result to build an effective strategy that helped him evade arrest for so long.
This also made it possible for him to maintain an air of invincibility among his gang members.
Many of them believed he had magical powers that enabled him disappear whenever he wanted.
During his interrogation, Godogodo told the police that he took only raw cash during his operations and would only attack a place he knew there would be enough cash to cart away.
He also said he doesn’t have any bank account as he invested all his money in property immediately after each operation.
Reign of terror
Abbey Godogodo visited many Lagosians with sorrow, tears and blood. Many would not forget Sunday, September 9, 2012, when he and his gang terrorised the state and left indelible marks in the minds of many families, after he led a coordinated attack in the city where many innocent people including policemen lost their lives.
He revealed how he coordinated the bloody operation and gave chilling details of how he led members of his gang to cart away millions of dollars from bureau de change operators in Agege and Gbagada areas of Lagos.
According to Godogodo:
“On that fateful day, I called one of my boys, Sayeed Omolopa, to meet me at Alfa Beach in Ajah, and some other boys led by Kasali and Ejike.
They were about seven and my boys were five. Yemi Boss, who came with Ejike, said we should go to Agege and rob some bureau de change operators.
The agreement was that everyone will get what he lays his hands on. We used two vehicles and over nine AK-47 rifles.
When we got to Agege, some bureau de change operators that saw us ran to us thinking we wanted to change money and we opened fire on them and ran into their shops to pack all the money we found.
In fact, we robbed from shop to shop and we also shot sporadically to scare people. We shot at people who tried to block the road and prevent us from moving.
I can’t count the number of people killed in that operation. Wherever people tried to block the road, we opened fire on them. The boys that went with me for that job were notorious, they were difficult to control but they all feared me.
We made a lot of money from the operation. While we were trying to escape, we met a team of policemen attached to the Rapid Response Squad, RRS, and we thought they were after us.
On approaching them, we opened fire on the van and killed all the police in it and collected their rifles and escaped through Lagos-Abekuta road. Money was not shared after the operation because everyone took whatever he was able to grab.
When I got home I realised that I made over N500,000, but some days later, I was informed that one of my boys, Tosin, made over N6 million from the operation.
Everybody made a lot of money from the operation. I didn’t border to read the newspapers the next day to know the extent of damage but I knew many people lost their lives in that operation.
You know, as robbers, we do not go for operations to kill but we kill when we don’t have option.
On our way, we spotted some policemen at Oko-Oba police station, they didn’t know that we were robbers. We killed them before collecting their rifles.
Some few months later, we snatched a white Range Rover Sport in Ikeja and two of the occupants escaped with their phones.
We suspected that they were going to call the police. On arriving Agidingbi Road, we spotted two RRS men on a motorbike and we thought they were coming after us.
We slowed down, by the time they got very close to us, I opened the window and fired rapid shots at them, they fell into the gutter with their motorbike and I sent my boys to get their rifles before we drove off.
When we got to Coca-Cola junction, there was serious traffic and we decided to make a turn. When we got to the spot where the policemen fell, we saw some people who were trying to help them and my boys opened fire on them again.
We managed to make our way to Medical Road, close to Computer Village, but by then, the policemen there had received message of our operations and the moment they sighted us, they opened fire and damaged our tyres.
We managed the tyres up to Capitol Road. There was traffic and I came out of my vehicle to clear the traffic and there was this Toyota Camry following us.
I didn’t know that there was an armed mobile policeman in it. When I returned I discovered that Kasali was struggling with the mobile policeman who was carrying a rifle.
I fired some shots at the policeman. He attempted to run away, I chased him and killed him on the spot before picking his rifle. We snatched another vehicle and abandoned the Range Rover Sport before we escaped.”
Such was his his ferocious reign of terror.
His arrest
The Lagos State Police Command led by the then Commissioner, Umar Manko, mandated the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), led by Superintendent of Police, Abba Kyari, to bring an end to the reign of Abbey Godogodo and that began intensive investigations which led to the capitulation of his empire.
Manko was given direct orders by the then Inspector General of Police to make sure the Godogodo phenomenon was quashed at all all cost.
After the gang attacked the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, where two police inspectors and more than five people were killed and over N100 million stolen, the police decided to focus on profiling the suspect, because, up to that point, no one knew anything about him or what he looked like.
The police also began looking at the possibility of preempting his subsequent operations.
The detectives got a lucky break when a robbery, which fitted into the established modus operandi of Godogodo’s gang, was reported at a branch of First Bank in Ilorin, Kwara State and on obtaining the close circuit television recording of the operation, his image was then known.
Also, most of his gang members arrested were shown the video and they all agreed that the man in it was indeed the One-Eyed bandit and that brought the police a few steps closer to their target.
The investigation led the police to Dubai where he went often to buy goods for his boutique, all in a bid to get their man.
The CP spoke of their break through:
“After we located his house in Ibadan, we mounted surveillance around the house for 14 days, before we finally struck and got him. Most of his colleagues that we had arrested would tell us that the man had the powers to disappear.
He also used to tell them that anytime it became clear that he was going to be arrested, it was his dead body that the police would pick. And before he was killed, he would kill as many policemen as he could. So, we were very conscious of that warning.
The operation took us about seven months before we finally got him that early morning. Even, on that day, after we had identified the house, policemen waited there for more than 11 hours.
We didn’t go in and nobody came out of the place. But we remained patient and continued to consider our options carefully until he eventually came out. And to prove the point of what he used to tell his colleagues, we recovered six AK47 rifles in his kitchen, his bedroom, and toilets, everywhere.
And each rifle had double magazines attached to it; which means that in each rifle, he had about 60 rounds of live ammunition.”

Mr Balakrishnan wants to convert the restaurant into a social centre
A Mumbai social worker has bought a restaurant owned by India's "most wanted man" for 40.5m Indian rupees (£444,000; $673,500).
The government auctioned the restaurant and other properties owned by Dawood Ibrahim in Mumbai on Wednesday.
S Balakrishnan, who bought the Delhi Zaika restaurant, wants to make it an education centre for the poor.
Ibrahim is a fugitive in India and has been charged with masterminding the 1993 Mumbai serial bombings.
Some 257 people died and more than 700 others were wounded in the attacks.
India alleges that Ibrahim lives in the Pakistani city of Karachi, but Islamabad has always denied the charge.
Mr Balakrishnan needs to pay the sum he bid on the restaurant within 30 days to acquire it, and is seeking donations to do so. Dawood Ibrahim is a "most wanted man" in India
"I want to open a computer centre for children and also a legal aid centre for women of the area," he said.
The
former journalist said that the government's earlier attempts to sell
the property had failed because people were afraid to buy the underworld
don's property.
"But this time we decided to show courage," he said.
Ibrahim
was named a "global terrorist" in October 2003, and in June 2006, then
US President George W Bush labelled him a "foreign narcotics
trafficker".
He is accused of smuggling narcotics from Afghanistan and Thailand to the US, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa.
