Dead bodies reportedly littered the road as motorists and sympathizers made efforts to rescue trapped victims.
The accident involved a trailer, a car and a 14-seater Toyota Hiace bus travelling from Delta state.
Many of the victims died a few minutes after they were brought out of the bus. The survivors were rushed to the Benin central hospital.
Oluwasusi Familoni, the Edo sector commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) who confirmed the incident, said his men were still at the accident scene.

WAR: Pinnick, Giwa Fight Dirty 
The crisis which rocked the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in recent times has been re-awakened as the meeting called by the Minister of Youth and Sports, Solomon Dalung became a battle place for NFF President, Amaju Pinnick and Chris Giwa who lay claim to the same office, as they almost engaged each other in physical battle, Vanguard reports.

It would be recalled that both administrators were locked in fierce battle as they both struggled for the soul of the NFF after the election in Warri, Delta State on September 30, 2014 which produced the present board.
Consequently, the Confederation of African Football and FIFA recognised the Amaju Pinnick-led board as Giwa’s case was dismissed by the world football governing body and the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS), after he withdrew his case from a Jos court when FIFA threatened to ban Nigeria.
After over a year of relative peace, the call by the minister was generally condemned by stakeholders who believed will re-open ‘wounds’ which could trigger off another bad blood.
Dalung tries to settle the dispute amicably
Giwa was laying claim to the NFF top seat, saying he was duly elected after the August 26, 2014 controversial election in Abuja in which delegates massively boycotted.
Eventually, the meeting was deadlocked after a fracas of about five minutes.
Dalung advised both warring parties to maintain the peace and promised to help resolve the problem, adding that the meeting has given him an opportunity to personally hear from both sides.

He said: “I have the will power and the political power to resolve the issue and I am optimistic that this issue will be resolved. We have decided to hear from them because this is a democracy, if we were in a military dictatorship I may have just decreed and asked one party to step down.”

WAYS TO DESTROY CANCER CELLS IN HUMAN BODY
Shared as received:
LATEST CANCER INFORMATION
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, FINALLY THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY …
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to STARVE the cancer cells by not feeding it with foods it needs to multiple.
WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON :
A. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Note: Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
B . Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells will starved.
C.. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
D . A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes t o nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells.
To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
E. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water--best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines will become putrified and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor.
Anger, unforgiving and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
The 7 Dangerous Acts after meal
The 7 Dangerous Acts after meal
* Don't smoke- Experiment from experts proves that smoking a cigarette after meal is comparable to smoking 10 cigarettes (chances of cancer is higher).
* Don't eat fruits immediately -When you eat your fruits with meals, the fruit is stuck in the stomach along with the contents of the meals and cannot reach the intestines in time. Lying there they get spoilt and spoil the remaining food in the stomach too. Thus it is recommended that you eat a fruit at least one hour after eating a meal or before your meal and preferably in the morning with empty stomach. It is in the morning that the body can best use the nutrients in the fruit and get enough energy to start the day.
* Don't drink tea - Because tea leaves contain a high content of acid. This substance will cause the Protein content in the food we consume to be hardened thus difficult to digest.It is preferable to drink tea an hour after meals.
* Don't loosen your belt -Fiction, not particularly bad for you!
We generally have an attitude that a good meal is that which forces us to loosen our belts. However, loosening the belt is bad, not because it causes the intestines to twist or block but because it means that you have over eaten to a level that you are uncomfortable. Loosening of the belt may also cause you to feel comfortable once again which means you may continue overeating.
So eat only to the extent that you can be comfortable without loosening your belt!
* Don't bathe - Bathing after meal will cause the increase of blood flow to the hands, legs & body thus the amount of blood around the stomach will therefore decrease. This will weaken the digestive system in our stomach.
* Don't walk about -Fact, it is bad for you! Walking directly after meals is a bad idea, it can result to acid reflux and indigestion. However, walking about half an hour after meals is known to be good for you. Researchers in the Department of Exercise Science at the University of South Carolina, have found that wa
lking after exercise is a good way to burn energy.
The point to note is when to walk, you should ideally walk for about 10 minutes and only 20-30 minutes after meal to prevent acid reflux and stomach upsets.
* Don't sleep immediately - The food we intake will not be able to digest properly. Thus will lead to gastric & infection in our intestine.

Tension In House Of Reps As 11 Lawmakers drag Dogara to Court
Zaria Massacre: We will not appear before Commission, Shiites give Clause
Zaria Massacre: We Will Not Appear Before Commission- Shiites Give Clause
The Islamic movement in Nigeria (IMN), has given conditions to appear before the commission set up
by Kaduna state government to look into the clash between the Nigerian Army and adherents of the Shiite Islamic movement in Zaria in 2015.
Nigeria’s Chief Of Army Staff was allegedly attacked by the Shiite sect in Zaria.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna state had earlier announced the members of a Judicial Commission of inquiry tasked with investigating the December 12, 2015 clash between the Shiites and the army in Zaria.
While noting that the Movement believes in the justness of its cause and the fact that the events that led to the setting up of the Judicial Commission were premeditated, they said they will only appear before the commission if its leader is released unconditionally.
In addition to the clause of their appearance, the sect also asked that the Nigerian Military and the Nigerian police make full disclosure of the number of persons in their various detention centers and those they took to the various hospitals and the location of the hospitals to enable their lawyers have access to them.
The Vanguard reports that a statement spelling out the conditions signed by the president, media forum of the Islamic movement, Ibrahim Musa.
Musa said while the IMN, has called for the setting up of an impartial and independent judicial commission of inquiry made up of independent persons and members of the international human rights community to unravel the circumstances that led to the pogrom in Zaria and its environs, it believes that “the events of December 12, 2015 which led to the massacre of its members, the maiming of hundreds, the detention of its cadres and destruction of its properties are premeditated.”
The movement added that the federal and state governments are in face saving mode regarding the gross human rights violations that it deliberately perpetrated.
“The Movement will appear before the Judicial Commission of Inquiry only on the following conditions: That the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria should be released unconditionally. The Nigerian government is holding the leader of the Movement incommunicado knowing that he is the custodian of the documents of the Movement and has to give direction to the Movement in the preparation of its memorandum and the assembling of its witnesses.
“The Nigerian Military and the Nigerian police must make a full disclosure of the number of persons in their various detention centers and grant lawyers of the Movement access to most of them. This is because the Movement has credible evidence that a large number of its members are still in detention in military facilities and detention centers,” the statement read in parts.

Bone of my Bones
Bone of my bones
I heard the first shot and then another, followed by a deafening cry that cut right through me, there was a big thud. A few moments later I heard frantic knocking on my door, “Help me!” she cried. “Please let me in, my husband just shot me”. I contemplated for a second on what to do, what if he came after her and realizing I had witnessed the crime chooses to eliminate me as well? I quickly grabbed the phone, dialed 911 and then decided to take the greatest gamble of my life. I peeked out of my window, he was a few steps behind her; swiftly I opened my door and literally carried her in and shut the door as quickly as I could. With a split second to think I dragged her as far away as I could from the doorway in case he decides to shoot through. She passed out on my kitchen floor. My hands were horribly bloody; a trail of blood followed from the front of my doorway to my kitchen. As she laid there motionless, I could hear my heart pounding, “think girl think”, I murmured to myself. I grabbed a kitchen napkin from off my stove and began applying pressure to her chest wound; just as I had seen done many a time in the ER series. Her pulse was faint and irregular. Meanwhile I awaited her husband’s wrath to descend upon us any minute; I prayed that the police would show up soon. It was the longest 12 minutes of my life. When they finally did, I was too scared to look up let alone answer in case the perpetrator was still in the vicinity. Paramedics rushed us both to the nearest hospital as they were unsure if I had been shot as well considering the amount of blood on me. I was treated for shock and she was rushed into surgery. She survived surgery but died of a cardiac arrest post operatively. Her name I came to find out was Lorna Forman. Lorna was a mere 26 years old; a mother of two beautiful girls 5 and 3. She was finally putting her life together after being abused for 6 years by her husband. Lorna had suffered in silence but had finally gathered courage to leave him for the sake of her children. She had moved into her new apartment only two days earlier. Her girls were at her mom’s when the vicious animal of a husband broke in. Three days after the incident, I was discharged to a hotel; my home had become a part of a crime scene. I remember sitting at the edge of my bed and though I had an armed policeman guarding me, I was petrified of the “what ifs”. I turned on the radio to my favorite reggae station, coincidentally “Where is the love you promised” by Eric Donaldson was playing! Ten years it’s been and he remains at large and I still watching over my shoulder in case he shows up to complete that which he had begun. He has outsmarted the law for 10 years and who knows, he may never be caught! The above scenario is every woman’s worse night mare; being so afraid of a husband, partner, a friend or a total stranger and be able to do absolutely nothing about it! Domestic violence is an epidemic in this era, every year in the United States alone it is reported that about 320,000 are seen by doctors for abuse and 1,200 deaths among women from the result of intimate partner violence. This form of abuse costs as much as $8.3 billion in related medical and mental services alone reports Baiden Live.
It is even more mind bugging when spousal abuse takes place right under the nose of the church for many churches still are of the view that it is better for an abused wife or husband to suffer in silence rather than seek a separation, true I agree marriage is sacred ; So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together let not man separate (Matthew 19.6,” however my question again is what does a believer do when he or she is in an abusive marriage? Matthew 18: 15-17 gives three steps which are: a believer who has a conflict with another is expected to address the matter with the other person personally in this instance his/her spouse. If that fails, he is to take one or two other believers and meet with the person with whom they have the conflict, that way witnesses are established and also a proper cause of action is determined. If that too fails, he is to bring the matter before his church in the hope that because the other party is also a believer, it is unlikely that he would fail to resolve the conflict when the church is involved. So maybe it is a good idea when a Christian decides to enter a relationship to ensure that the other party is equally yoked

Diary of New Iyawo (Wife)
TITLE: Diary of New Iyawo(Wife)!!
Monday: We are back from honeymoon and settled in our new home, It's fun to cook for Chuka . Today I made moin moin and the recipe said, 'Beat 12 eggs separately '. Well, I didn't have enough bowls to do that, so I had to borrow 12 bowls to beat the eggs in, the moin moin turned out fine though.
Tuesday: We wanted a fruit salad for supper. The recipe said, 'Serve without dressing'. So I didn't dress. But Chuka happened to bring a friend home for supper that night. They both looked so startled when I served them. I think it was the salad.
Wednesday: I decided to serve rice and found a recipe, which said, 'Wash thoroughly before steaming d rice'. So I heated some water and took a bath before steaming the rice. Sounded kind of silly in the middle of the day. I can't say it improved d rice anyhow.
Thursday: Today Chuka asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said, prepare ingredients, and then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving.' I hunted all over the place for a garden with a bed of lettuce and when I got one, I tossed my salad into the bed of lettuce and stood over there for over one hour so the dog would not take it. CHUKA came over and asked if I felt all right. I wonder why? He must be stressed at work; I'll try and be supportive, don't you think.
Friday: Today I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said, 'Put all ingredients in a bowl and beat it'. Beat it I did, then when to my mother's place. There must have been something wrong with the recipe, because when I came back home again; it looked the same as when I left it.
Saturday: Chuka went shoppin today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. I'm sure I don't know how hens dress for Sunday. I never noticed back on the farm, but I found an old doll dress and its little cute shoes. I thought the hen looked really cute. When Chuka saw it, he started counting to ten. Either he was really stressed because of his work, or he wanted the chicken to dance. When I asked him what was wrong he started crying and shouting out 'Why me? Why me?'.

True confessions of a Pastor
I just received this, and decided to share it. Dear Chief Apostle (Prof.) Vic N. Ronnie
My name is Chidubem Okwu . . . ., I am a pastor, but I have disappointed God and I really don’t know where to begin to tell my story.
I must tell you the truth. I can’t really say if I have a call or not. I was a Sunday school teacher in my church for 9 years at Kaduna. In 1999 I was led to start a church, but from the experiences I have gathered now I cannot say I was actually led by the Holy Spirit to start that church. As at 2008, I was not making any progress both spiritually and materially.
I saw many churches which began several years after mine and they were making waves and are still making progress. At a point I did not know what to do again and after discussing with my wife I decided to approach the general overseer of a church that began 7 years after I started my ministry and explained to him that personally I was not making any headway and same with my ministry.
My ministry would grow up to 200 people and after a short period it would shrink to 50 people and at time it would grow to 150 and shrink to 40 people.
I approached him because the growth in his church was fast. He began the church in 2006 and by 2012 he was recording 11,000 people on a Sunday service and he was also making good money and riding great and big cars including the latest jeeps.
After listening to me, he promised to help me solve my problem. He said I needed to be empowered and that it is going to cost me some amount of money besides, I need to have a big and strong heart. Then he asked me if I have got a strong heart and I told him that I have as long as it is not going to involve killing a fellow human being. He asked me thrice if I have got a strong heart and I consistently gave him the same answer.
Again he asked me if I want a single empowerment or double empowerment and I asked him which one is better and he said double empowerment is better but, it will cost me a lot of money and that after the empowerment I am going to be told how to maintain and renew the power.
This time I became afraid and I asked him if the maintenance and renewal involves any ritual, he said no that whatever the renewal and maintenance will involve are just normal things that I am already doing so I should not be afraid. He said I should go and raise three hundred and fifty thousand naira (350,000.00) which I had to borrow from my wife.
The next day I handed over the money to him and he asked me to go and get ready that we shall be going to Lagos and Port-Harcourt. I got ready and we took flight from Abuja to Lagos that same day.
In Lagos we lodged at the guest house of a big ministry and at 11.30p.m we went out in a private car to the Barbeach. At the Barbeach we were at the bank when he spoke some unknown language and told me that a woman was going to come out of the water and that I should do whatever she says.
As soon as he said that, there was rumbling on the surface of the water and a mermaid came out of it. The general overseer told me not to be afraid that the mami-wata will not harm me so I picked courage when I saw her.
When she came to the surface of the water, the lower part of her body was fishlike, but my eyes were transfixed as that lower part and as she was getting close to me it became human part. Then she came to me and asked me to have sex with her which I did in the presence of the general overseer.
After having sex with her, she put her hand in her vagina and made a sign of the cross on my forehead and my palm and told me that she has empowered me and that I will see the difference.
Re: Why You Should Be Very Careful What Church You Attend - A MUST READ! by AVRecruit: 11:48pm On Nov 08
The mami-wata left me, went to the general overseer and brought out a golden cross and chain from her stomach and wore it on the neck of the general overseer who gave her
some money. The mami-wata thank him and went back into the sea. All the time she spoke in English language.
When we eventually got back to the ministry’s quest house, the general overseer
told me that we have to go to the church of that ministry because they were having night vigil and when we got there, I was given an opportunity to minister in the church and as I raised my hands from the altar the members began to fall on themselves and some were tumbling on others and I must say I was almost embarrassed because I never expected the manifestation of the mami-wata power to be so soon.
After the all night service we went back to the guest house and the general overseer asked me if I was happy the way the power manifested and I said yes.
He told me that we should go to bed and take some sleep because we shall be going to Port-Harcourt that evening.
In afternoon as I was sleeping that same mami-wata I had sex with at the Bar beach came to me in my dream and told me that to maintain and also constantly renew the power I must be having sex with a virgin once a month so this jolted me out of sleep. I went to the general overseer’s room to explain what I saw and heard in my dream and he said it is no problem.
When I asked him how I was going to be getting the virgins he said he was going to assist me get them, but I need to pay for his service. Honestly chief Apostle after this I wanted to backout, but I had no courage to say or do so.
While at the Bar beach I saw many pastors who came there with other senior pastors. It is like a tradition.
There must be a senior pastor bringing in younger pastors and I believe each senior pastor had a particular mami-wata they relate with because I saw up to ten mami-wata attending to some other young pastors.
In the evening we were at the local airport in Lagos and took a flight to Port-Harcourt. At Port-Harcourt we lodged in the guest house of another ministry and at mid-night we got out eventually arriving in a very big compound of a woman called Eze-Nwanyi inside the compound were many houses.
We met many pastors there including first generational churches’ pastors. When it was my turn the general overseer paid some money and itemized what should be done for me.
When I went into the room I was surprised it was a woman again and as I was thinking – woman again! I found myself on top the woman on a bed in an adjacent room. Honestly I have not been able to recall how I found myself on that bed. I had sex with her and also sucked her breasts.
After the sexual session she made some animal cry and administered some stuff into my eyes and I began immediately to see into the spirit world and also discussed with some spirit beings. After that she gave me a bottle of olive oil which she called “do as I say”. She said with this the members of my church will do whatever I ask them to do.
She also gave me another bottle of olive oil which she called “all seeing oil”. She said with the oil I can see deep into people’s secret and a bottle of olive oil which she called “slaying oil” for slaying people during prayer. She finally gave me two more bottles of olive oil. The first one is “crowd pulling oil” and the second one is “touch and follow” – which I will be using to hypnotize women especially virgins because I will be having sex with them and married women to renew the empowerment. She said I could have sex and immediately after that I could go straight into ministration without having my bath. She bound me with oath of secrecy.
We left that same midnight and went back to the lodge and the general overseer told me to rub the touch and follow oil and we went to the vigil of the church we were lodging in their guest house and I was allowed to minister and I burst into prophesy to my own astonishment.
In the morning two virgins were sent to the general overseer and he gave me one so we took them to the guest house and had sex with them.
What really surprised me was that the young girls never asked where we were taking them to and why we were taking them there which is unusual for virgin girls.
When the girls left, the general overseer told me that from now I have to concentrate my sermons around prosperity and stop salvation and righteousness messages. He said I should be sending tithes to him and that he know how part of the tithes will get to the woman at Port-Harcourt.
Eventually we left Port-Harcourt to Abuja and back to Kaduna. When I began service after my return things began to change. Money began to come, the crowd also began to come and within one week miracles, deliverance followed by prosperity began to happen in the church, the spirit of prophecy came in like I had never seen it in my life.
I have been having sex with virgin girls and married women and things have been working out fine for my family and the church for the past six years, but I have gotten to a stage in which I am no longer feeling comfortable with the whole thing. I have had dreams in which I saw myself burning in hell. I have had this dream of hell seven times and in one of the dreams I woke only for the same dream to continue when I went back to bed.
I have been having sleepless nights and many nights I get raped by that same mami-wata I have lost two of my children mysteriously, but through the same pattern.
Re: Why You Should Be Very Careful What Church You Attend - A MUST READ! by AVRecruit: 11:49pm On Nov 08
For the past three months I have not been able to get virgin girls and this has affected the power as it is going down. I want to get out of this whole issue even if it means closing the church I have gone to the general overseer and he said it was too late for me to get out.
He threatened me with mysterious death. He said it is not possible for me to turn against the mami-wata and Eze-Nwanyi because they are already part of my life. I told him that I will do everything positively possible to get myself out of this.
Three days later two men approached me and told me that if I love my life I should vanish from Kaduna because they have been paid by the general overseer to eliminate me, so I had to close the church and left the town finally after two days.
As I am writing to you now I have nothing to hold on to but, only God Almighty.
The problem is that God seems to be very far from me no matter how much and fervent I have been calling on Him and asking for His mercies.
I know I have offended Him, but I know He is a God of second chance. I have read your books – Overcoming the Queen of the Coast series and I strongly believe you are the only one that God can use to help me out of this physical hell I have put myself.
I am really afraid of going to meet any other person (man of God) because those who are using devilish powers are more than those who use the power of God. For some time now I have not been sleeping at night and I also at times hallucinate. Sir, I urgently need your help because I believe time is running out for me as the attack from the marine kingdom increases. No other pastor has exposed them like you. I know I have transferred many spirits into so many people and I want to know what I can do so that those people can be free from these wicked and evil spirits.
Chief Apostle, it is really unfortunate that the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ has been taken over by Mami-wata. The number of pastors using marine spirits is alarming and more of them are getting initiated daily into this wicked kingdom so are these pastors initiating their spiritually illiterate members.
Before I messed up myself spiritually, I had always wondered why members of churches follow their pastors sheepishly, but now I know better.
The marine kingdom is working day and night to overtake the church and unfortunately the church is sleeping. In the last two months I have had four car crashes and I know they want to eliminate me, but God has been my helper and my only hope.
They have killed my two children and now they want me dead. I am becoming afraid of staying alone because of some bizarre spiritual appearances I see and things have began to move in my brain and body. Any time I start praying the movement would start and sometimes I feel the movement in my marrow.
The greatest need I have now is to be forgiven by God. If I can get His forgiveness I don’t mind dying after that because I really don’t want to go to hell.
I have been misled by the general overseer just as so many young pastors have been misled by their general overseers and senior pastors.
Sir, I know you are a very busy person. I will appreciate if you find time to pray over this my problems and seek the face of the Lord on how He will use you to help me out. I know that if I am forgiven, my deliverance will be easy. I regret selling my soul to marine spirits.
The Eze-Nwanyi is also a very strong mami-wata agent.
I look forward to hearing from you
Your co-servant in the Lord

Author’s Response
When I received this letter I called the number over three times, but it was switched off so the next day I called and it went through. A woman took the call and when I asked to speak to pastor Chidubem, I was told that he was had died in a car crash the previous day and I was dumbfounded. I just expressed my condolences to the woman who later told me that she was his wife that she has to amend her ways with the Lord and move ahead with her life and she expressed gratitude and thanked me.
After I cut off the discussion I was frozen on a spot for over five minutes until my son came and touched me asking what the matter was.
I must say that it is very unfortunate this pastor died. Those of us alive need to be extremely careful on what we do and where we place our hands. When we want success by worldly standard we can easily soil our hands.
I know that if he had not started to get out of these evil powers they wouldn’t have killed him.
Only God knows if he was forgiven by God before his sudden death if not no one need to tell you his destination by now.
We must make choices in life and whatever choices we make there are consequences and we should be ready to accept the consequences of the choices we have made.
God is not going to hold the general overseer responsible for[truncated by WhatsApp]

Terrorists Torture Girl to Death for violating Islamic dress code
Terrorists Torture Girl To Death For Violating Islamic Dress Code
ISIS fighters tortured a Syrian girl to death after she allegedly broke the Islamic dress code and her parents couldn’t do anything.
The 21-year-old victim was reportedly tortured by a sick female jihadi known as Oum Farouq who operates for the murderous terror group.
After the girl’s family received her body, they could do nothing because the Sharia Court supported the killing.
“She was harshly tortured. We have received her dead body full of physical effects of torture. The only judicial department in Manbij is the Sharia Court, which supports such crimes,” a heartbroken family member said.
According to the severe rule of ISIS (also known as Daesh), women are forced to wear a black veil and are not allowed to go anywhere without a male companion.
The killing happened after the jihadi group murdered a young journalist before hacking into her Facebook account to hunt down her acquaintances.
Ruqia Hassan, who went by Nisam Ibrahim on social media, is the fifth journalist who reported on the depraved death cult to be killed since October.
The evil death cult has also kidnapped Yazidi women to use them as sex slaves. 7,000 young women and children have been kidnapped from their homes and sold into slavery.

Laws on Alcohol Consumption in Nigeria
LAWS ON ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION IN NIGERIA
There are legal restrictions on the sale and consumption of alcohol in most parts of Nigeria especially to children and young persons.
Typically, alcohol cannot be sold to a child (a person below the age of 14 years) or a young person (a person below the age of 18 years). Such persons are also not permitted to work in or around premises where alcohol is sold. Access to such premises is also restricted to young persons generally.
Alcohol can only be sold in licensed premises and there are different licences for outlets wishing to sell alcohol for consumption on the premises and those wishing to sell for consumption outside the premises or both.
The sale of alcohol in most outlets is restricted to the hours of 6.00 a.m. and 12.00 midnight. However, alcohol may be sold in clubs and hotels at all hours to residents of the hotel or members of the club.
In the northern parts of Nigeria, particularly in the Sharia States (i.e. States were Islamic law is practiced), there are restrictions on the sale and consumption of alcohol under local laws, which are widely considered to be unconstitutional. However, since the law courts have not specifically overruled these laws, it is prudent to observe them.
In line with the spirit of the above legal requirements, the leading alcohol beverage companies in Nigeria have adopted a practice of including the '18+' sign in their advertisement as a form of self-imposed regulation.
'Drunk Driving' is seriously discouraged in Nigeria and a person driving a motor vehicle may be stopped and restricted if he is doing so in an 'unsafe manner' which has in practice been interpreted by the law enforcement agencies to include driving under the influence of alcohol. However, there are no known restrictions on the acceptable percentage of alcohol in the blood stream for the purpose of determining what amounts to a 'DUI' offence.

New details have emerged following the shocking displays at the Headies 2015 awards on January 1 which had Olamide and Don Jazzy in a heated exchange of words,
Olamide and Don Jazzy reconcile. Credit: Instagram
A blogger has revealed that billionaire industrialist Aliko Dangote stepped in and helped restore quiet between both parties after their outbursts.
According to the blogger, Laila Ijeoma, Dangote has mediated and the picture circulating of both acts holding hands was taken at the billionaire’s house.
She explained that prior to the visit to Dangote’s house, Don Jazzy had remained livid and wasn’t speaking to anyone especially because Olamide had done the exact same thing at the 2014 edition of The Headies after Reekado Banks got the award for Rookie of the year. Olamide had protested that Lil Kesh wasn’t nominated in that same category.
“I’m told Jazzy has been angry since the incident happened, infact he wasn’t even talking to people. He was angry especially because Olamide did something similar last year when Reekado Banks got the Headies 2014 Rookie award.
“Aliko Dangote stepped in for there to be peace. I’m also told that Olamide prostrated himself for Jazzy. Yes, my guy was shocked too when Olamide did that. All thanks to Dangote,” she wrote.
Olamide’s act has been condemned in various quarters since the incident, majorly because of his uncontrolled language on live TV.
Several sources have also alleged he shattered some things in the Headies green room.
