| Cardinal Okojie speaks on Chris & Anita Oyakhilome divorce drama, says 'are they true pastors'? Posted: 07 Sep 2014 05:40 AM PDT   "When the going was good, they took vows on the altar of God to stay together in sickness and in health, until death do them part. They promise to make one another faithful partner in the presence of God, their family and friends and vow to be each other's faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. (with their separation ) It shows that they cannot live by what they preach. The Bible says: 'What God has joined together, let no man put asunder.' So why are they putting asunder what the good Lord has joined together if they are men of God as they claim?"Okojie saidAsked what the development portrays for the Church of God, the cardinal replied with a question "What Church are you talking about?. It is not good. Are they true pastors? Good shepherds of the Lord are expected to do everything to shepherd their flock including their spouses even when they err. If God forgave us in spite of our filth, why can any man who is truly called pastor not forgive any malfeasance?"Okogie blamed the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC, which registers every organization which goes about deceiving people in the name of church, noting that there are several "useless" institutions that have been registered churches which are currently painting the Church of God in bad light.

| Meet the Top 5 talents featured in the Enugu edition of Amstel Malta Showtime “The Rush” Posted: 07 Sep 2014 04:43 AM PDT  The all new and redefined Amstel Malta Showtime 3, which kicked off its first edition on Friday the 29th of August at the Golden Royale Hall, Enugu with stunning display of arts and theatrics, was surely a great experience for the five young talents who made it through the auditions phase to feature alongside Sound Sultan, Phyno, Gordons, Ice Nweke and other entertainers. Continue... According to the judges, the 5 talents exhibited remarkable confidence, unique style and dexterity amidst the numerous brilliant talents that showed up for the auditions. Click hereto watch excerpts of their performance. The top five are: Okafor Princess Princess, a 300level Mass Communication Student of National Open University, Enugu, is an aspiring singer who recorded her first song, Dream Big, which she performed at the Enugu edition of Showtime, at the age of 18.

Omobhude Ezekiel A 22 year-old budding choreographer, who has worked closely with celebrated Nigerian artistes such as Phyno, Olamide, May D, Seyi Shay, Niyola and more. He is an undergraduate of National Open University (NOU) Lagos, who had a close shot at the top three positions in the 2ndseason of Showtime, but eventually didn't make it. According to him, he won't be in Lagos at the time for the Lagos show and didn't want to miss the opportunity again, so he decided to attend the Enugu audition to try his luck there...which eventually paid off.

| "I am not gay" - Mr Universe Nigeria says Posted: 07 Sep 2014 04:31 AM PDT   "I am not gay, and it is very annoying when people make such comments. There was this girl that added me on twitter. She was like; 'Tell me the truth, are you gay?' It was so annoying. Some people think that for you to win the pageant you must be gay and men must sleep with you and all, but that's not true. I just wish I could do a story and the heading will just be 'I am not gay'. People have concluded in their mind that we are gays. Even when I was profiled on Linda Ikeji's blog, there were comments like, gay alert; the guy is gay and all that. People feel if you are a male pageant contestant, the only hard work you need to do is to sleep in the room. That's a negative thought, but I believe a person with a positive thought won't think like that. For me, you just have to be positive; you just have to believe in yourself. I have gone for pageants that I lost (Mr. Tourism Nigeria), but that didn't stop me from going for more.What does he think of gays? Find his answer after the cut... What do you think about gays? Actually, it's bad in our country. It's not right; God has made it a man to woman, not a man to man or woman to woman. It's very wrong, just like its meant to be a negative to positive not positive to positive or a negative to negative, it's quite bad, I don't think it's cool. |

| "I wasn't hired by Nigerian Govt" hostage negotiator Stephen Davis allegedly says Posted: 07 Sep 2014 03:57 AM PDT  In an interview with Soni Daniel, which was published on Vanguard today, Stephen allegedly said he was never engaged by the Nigerian government to dialogue with the sect. "I was not engaged by the Federal Government of Nigeria, any state government or any other party. I went to Nigeria in late April in an effort to facilitate a handover of the Chibok captives after discussing such a possibility with former commanders of JAS (Jama'atu Ahlul Sunnah Lih Da'awa wal Jihad otherwise known as JAS) and others close to Boko Haram. Why did you release the report of your assignment to the media instead of sending it to government? I did not construct a report of my efforts in Nigeria. As I said earlier, I was not engaged by any party and therefore had no obligation to report to anyone." Continue...Some Nigerians find it curious that you decided to give your report only to Arise TV, owned by a Nigerian, Nduka Obiagbena, who also owns Thisday Newspapers and may be sympathetic to some politicians in Nigeria. "I gave a radio interview to the ABC in Australia which subsequently told me that after the transcript was posted to their online site, it had been picked up in the UK and Sky News requested an interview. In the hope of bringing attention to the many other girls and boys kidnapped by Boko Haram, I agreed to a television interview. That interview took place in Channel 7 studios in Australia and it was at that point that I was told it was an interview with Arise TV. I had not heard of Arise TV and did not know it was owned by a Nigerian or indeed that it had any association with Nigeria. At the time of giving the TV interview, I was of the understanding that it would be broadcast by Sky News in the UK. On Mr Obiagbena, I have not met him or ever been contacted by him. Many Nigerians find it extremely difficult to understand how the former Chief of the Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Ihejirika, who actually fought Boko Haram elements and was accused of genocide could be linked with sponsoring the violent group. It is much easier to understand Mr Sheriff's alleged association with Boko Haram than any association of Mr Ihejirika. Mr Sheriff was said to have a long history of promoting groups to assist in his past efforts to win the governorship of Borno State. On 29 July 2009, there was a confrontation with security officers at Mamudo Village, along Potiskum/Damaturu Road, Yobe. 33 JAS members were killed. Later that night, there was a long battle with combined security operatives at Railway Terminus, Maiduguri, Borno State. Scores were killed and the JAS operational base was destroyed. Yusuf was subsequently captured by the military and handed over to the police. The JAS alleged that it was on Sheriff's orders that Yusuf was executed in Maiduguri on 30 July 2009. Shekau was presumed killed in the same battle and a corpse was identified as that of Shekau. Thus the remaining JAS leaders made it clear their intention was to kill Sheriff and so it is right that Sheriff claims he is a victim of JAS. The Boko Haram we see today is not the JAS that was operational under Yusuf. Shekau emerged in mid-2010 and publicly claimed the leadership of a reinvigorated JAS. Shekau formed Ansaru which he used for kidnapping and beheading victims. This behaviour was a major departure from the original mandate of the JAS which was to purify Islam and return it to the behaviour example in the life of the Prophet. Many among the JAS leadership are no longer active and others have been killed. This has allowed Shekau to take the JAS to more extreme action and expanded the kidnapping, bombing and slaughtering. The Boko Haram we have today is a much expanded Ansaru. What we see now is not the Yusufiya which wanted very much to settle scores with Sheriff. It is Boko Haram as a partner to ISIS and Al Shabaab. Now I will offer an opinion as to the motives of the sponsors of Boko Haram.The political sponsors of Boko Haram seem to think that they can use Boko Haram to terrorise Nigeria to demonstrate that the current government cannot ensure the security of Nigerian citizens both Muslim and Christian. Therein the sponsors assume they can undermine any efforts of the current government to be re-elected in 2015. Herein lies the flaw for the conflict and instability currently being fanned suits the aims of Al Qa'eda and the architects of terrorism. Should the sponsors of Boko Haram win government in 2015, they will likely find that they cannot turn Boko Haram off or that Boko Haram will demand control of at least Borno State in return for reducing their attacks. Borno State may be just the beginning of an expanding caliphate. Several Boko Haram commanders and other persons close to and respected by Boko Haram have told me the names of some of the sponsors of Boko Haram. They have also described how some funds are transferred and arms made available. I have made public some of that information. I have also been told by some commanders that if one of the sponsors is arrested, they will surrender, release the girls and give information on the sponsors. Not all Boko Haram commanders will follow this lead but it may be a firm step towards dismantling or at least isolating Boko Haram. |

| New report claims adultery is not Anita Oyakhilome’s ground for divorce Posted: 07 Sep 2014 02:59 AM PDT  According to ThisDay, who said they have a copy of the court papers for the divorce process filed at the Principal Registry of the Family Division (PRFD) of the High Court of Justice, Anita filed for divorce on the ground that 'the marriage has broken down irretrievably.' In her statement of case in support of petition at PRFD with number FD14001650, Pastor Anita however, accused her husband of having inappropriate relationship with some of his female staff members. Okay, let me get this straight. Her official reason for filing is not 'adultery' but she alleged in her statement in court that he's having inappropriate relationship with women? It's not the same thing? Find the statement after the cut... According to the statement; "The wife has discussed with the husband his inappropriate relationship with some of his female staff members. She has explained that this has given her cause for concern. The husband has minimised her worries and taken no step to alleviate her grievances." "The wife submits that her marriage to the husband has irretrievably broken down and there is no hope of reconciliation. The wife will submit that it is the husband's unreasonable behaviours which have led to this. "The husband and the wife are both Pastors. The husband undertakes his work, in the main, in South Africa and Nigeria. The wife lives in the United Kingdom. The wife will say that they have lived separately for 16 years and over this time have drifted apart. The wife has come to realise that the husband will only visit the UK for annual church programmes that he holds rather than to be with this wife. The wife feels that he has been unavailable as a father to their children during their developing years. "The wife feels that their marriage suffered under the pressure of their work. They would rarely spend time together due to the husband unavailability. Special occasions such as Christmas, Birthdays and family occasions and anniversaries past them by and their rarely spent any time together as a family as the husband was more devoted to his work than he was to them. "The wife feels that she has been used to portray and enhance the husband's image as a family man when the reality is that there is no existing relationship between them. She feels that she has been present for official functions simply for his convenience. On occasions she has been copied into his travel itinerary which has been given to him by his staff on a need to know basis. "The wife has tried to discuss her concerns with the husband. He claims that she is carnal and he is insensitive to her feelings and her needs." "As a result of the husband's attitude to their marriage, the wife will say that he is virtually not recognised as a married man in the ministry. His teachings and beliefs on marriage is that the husband is a master and a controller and the wife will say that his concept of biblical; submission is so extreme that it is impossible for her to meet his expectations. She feels humiliated by the way he treats her in the presence of his close female staff members and she feels that she has been taken for granted which has become unbearably stressful for her. "The wife will say that the relationship with the husband is non-existent to the point that his itinerary which was announced publicly at the beginning of the year had no provision for time with his family. His staff members who travel with him organise both his personal and professional life without any input from her. The wife will say that she is treated with disregard almost like akin to an intruder. "The wife feels that she has been mentally, physically and emotionally deprived of the experience of a marital relationship. She feels that the husband has persistently judged her and his communication with her has been unduly harsh. The wife knows that he was hard to please and has been extremely critical. "The wife reserves the right to expand on all of these particulars if the divorce petition is defended." |
