BRIEF HOMILY FOR THE SOLEMNITY OF CHRIST THE KING. BY Rev. Fr. Cosmas Edochie.

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST THE ; EXTRAORDINARY KING

Today the pilgrim Church on earth matches out in procession, to honor and declare to the whole world that our Lord Jesus Christ is the universal king. From the first reading we observed that a real and true king does not impose himself on the people, he does not go about campaining or bribing people to be accepted as a king. Rather, it was the people after observing the person's genuine characters and commendable behaviours to his family and the entire community, will then invite all the tribes and villages to the persons house as they did to David, saying, We are your flesh and bone, you have been representing us well, and fighting for our common good, after observing your spirit of service and sincerity. We have unanimously chosen you to be our king and leader.Then, they prayed and thanked God before anointing him as their king (2Sam.5;1-3). The kingship of David prefigured the universal kingship of our Lord Jesus Christ, because it concerns our flesh and spirit. According to St. Paul, the kingship of Christ played three extraordinary significant roles in our lives. First, the creative role, as the first born from all creation, every throne, power, authority, or position both visible and invisible were created through him, and must be subjected to him, so anyone who neglects Jesus in any position, it means the foundation have been destroyed and the person is heading to doom. The second kingly role is that of redemption, through his body and blood, he reconciled everything in heaven and on earth to God, being the first to rise from the dead, he made peace among us through his death on the cross. Thirdly,is his leadership role, being the head and leader of his Church, all Christians and followers of Christ makes up his body the Church, and Christ is the head of the Church, so if the head is cut off from the body, the body becomes useless, so anything we are doing without Christ is baseless (col.1;11-20). Hitherto, it is obvious that the Church of Christ is made up of two kinds of people, saints and sinners, which were represented by the two thieves with Jesus on the cross. The unrepentant thief staying very close to Jesus, and even faced with death in few minutes, had no remorse of conscience, only accusing and blaming others for his culpability, he needed help but cannot make efforts. He lost his sense of human feelings and sympathy, which shows that no one can save the one who doesn't want to be saved. It is also a warning that we can be close to Jesus in the Church and communion and still miss heaven. While the repentant thief accused himself of being a sinner, he never blamed his parents or friends, after scolding the other thief of talking to Jesus without respect or fear, he acknowledged he lived a wasted life, but encountering Jesus he found love, peace and last hope od survival, he soon made a quick act of contrition and requested for a place in God's kingdom, then, Jesus declared, today, you will be with me in paradise. The goodness of Jesus made the thief to see the wretchedness of his own life, and also awakened his own lost of goodness. He turned to Jesus and Jesus did not disappoint him (Lk.23;35-43), the same can happen to us. Jesus is indeed a king but an extraordinary kind of king. He came not to condemn or conquer but to convert, not to dominate but to liberate, not to rule but to serve. He died like a criminal yet reigned from the cross. He responded to the worst accusations with what is best in him, What a wonderful king and savior whose mercy endures forever.No wonder Pilate defied all pressures mounted on him to change this inscription"INRI" on the cross, but he confirmed and upheld it saying, what is written is written, Jesus Christ is the universal king.May God give us the grace to honor and serve him faithfully now and forever.

YOU DIDN'T HEAR ME CLEARLY, I SAID, ''A WOOLMAN", HIS HEAD LOOKS LIKE WOOL -- TB JOSHUA FIRES BACK AT CRITICS

Lagos – Under-fire flamboyant Nigerian

‘Prophet’ T. B. Joshua, has shifted the goal posts, claiming that he was ‘misquoted’ when he predicted that ‘a woman’ would win the US elections .



According to a thread on his official Twitter account, the clergyman has insisted that people did not ‘hear’ him well when he prophesied.



One of prophet Tb Joshua’s loyal followers,who goes by the name Adedayo Ayomide on the giant social network,had a burning question and had guts to ask his ‘Papa’ concerning the prophecy that hit the brickwall and this is what Tb Joshua had to say,”You people didn’t hear me clearly,I said a woolman,the person his head looks like wool”.

From the look of things the prophet still stands by his ‘prophecy’ and is comparing Donald Trump’s hair to wool.

The controversial clergyman has added that he will ‘shed more light’ on the prophecy in his next Sunday service since people did not get him right.

PICK YOUR CALLS, YOU MAY BE SAVED. WITH GINA MENSAH ; AN ACTRESS AND A MODEL

PICK YOUR CALLS PLEASE

During the burial of a young man, another young man was crying out his heart. He wept uncontrollably that many people kept wondering what is wrong with him.

The mc dropped the microphone and went and took this weeping young man to a corner, calmed him down and he started to explain.
He was with the guy that died the day he met his death. He drove off first and on getting to a particular spot, he noticed that some armed robbers were getting ready to block the road and resume operation. He managed to escape. He started calling his friend to tell him what he saw, that he should remain where he was. This friend would not pick his call. To him: “why is he calling?
He should know that I am driving right behind him”. He refused to pick the call as this guy kept calling and calling. Finally, he drove into the now ready armed robbers and they pumped countless bullets on him.
He died on the spot and armed robbers stole his car. This man was crying because he knew his friend killed himself. Many of us are just like this.

Are you the one buying the credit for him or her? Pick your call when your phone rings and know why you are been called. If the phone rings twenty times in one minute, pick in all occasions. He was saving credit for his friend because I am driving straight to where he is, he met his death.

Many people will not pick the calls of their family bcs they are close to the house, proberbly they are calling to tell u not to go into that house bcs their is a danger waiting right in there.

You are in an occasion and you are calling someone you are looking at because you want to pass a crucial information, he ignores the call and is walking up to you instead, even when you are making sign that he should pick the call.
It is possible that this caller didn’t want you to come near him because he wanted to code something. Pick your call and say hello. Some people will not pick calls from numbers they don’t know and I wonder:

HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW ON THIS PLANET EARTH?
  OR

HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE YOU HEARD THAT RECEIVED A PARTICULAR CALL AND DIED ?

DO YOU EVER THINK THAT THOSE PEOPLE YOU KNOW ARE ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE? Note something, there is no one individual that knows up to 1% of the world population. Is it not insanity for you to restrict your life to just 1% of global population? What of the remaining 99%? Many people have missed life saving opportunities because they refused to pick a particular call.
PICK YOUR PHONE WHEN IT RINGS AS LONG AS YOU ARE AVAILABLE.

Share to educate others.

PLASTIC RICE SMUGGLED INTO THE COUNTRY ? PLEASE CARRY OUT THESE TESTS BEFORE BUYING RICE ; THIS IS REAL.

    Considering the hardship inflicted by the present Nigerian government on its people, hunger has taken the order of the

The plastic Chinese rice

day. So to this end, we bring you the secret of danger Nigerians are likely to face in no distant time. We therefore advise you to go through the following and save yourself and your family . Enjoy it:

Take a spoonful of rice and set it on fire. What happens next will make you tick.

China remains the largest rice producer in the world. The Middle Empire harvests more than 200 million tons of rice a year and a large number is exported all over the world.
However, cooks and consumers must be cautious: not only does this food contain pesticides used in Chinese agriculture, but according to The Korea Times, rice can also be manufactured artificially. The potato starch is mixed with plastic (synthetic resin, for example) and then takes the form of a grain of rice. The grains are then steamed with a typical rice flavor. Doctors sound the alarm against the consumption of this artificial product: three solid portions apparently contain as much plastic as a small plastic bag. An alarming fact!

With these simple tricks, you can determine whether your rice is natural or stuffed with plastic:

The water test


Pour a tablespoon of raw rice into a glass filled with cold water and mix vigorously. If the rice falls to the bottom of the glass, everything is fine, if on the contrary it floats on the surface, be vigilant, because it surely contains plastic!

The fire test


Using a lighter and a match, burn a handful of rice. If it catches fire and smells of burnt plastic, you know what to do! Do not eat it!

The mortar and pestle test

When molding a few grains of rice with a mortar and pestle, the powder should be quite white. For artificial rice, you will notice a yellow discoloration instead.


The mold test


If you want to be sure that you do not risk anything with your cooked rice, put a small amount into a tupperware and leave it in a warm place. In a few days, mold will have to appear, otherwise it is that your rice is artificial.

This is how to get it right: is the rice you buy natural or artificial? Show these different tips to all your friends so they do not take the risk of eating plastic for dinner!

Don't buy these brands of rice , they are made of plastic by Chinese people and are very dangerous to your health .

HOW TO USE THE LEAVES OF SOURSOP TO KILL CANCER CELL; (1000times stronger than chemotherapy )

Graviola (soursop) is used to treat infections caused by bacteria and parasites including leishmaniasis, a disease caused by parasites transmitted through the bite of sand fleas; herpes; coughs; and cancer, according to WebMD. It is also used to cause vomiting and to empty the bowels. Some people use graviola to help them relax.


Cancer Prevention

The leaves of the graviola tree have powerful anti-cancer properties coming from phytochemicals in the plant. The journal “Cancer Letters” published a study looking at the impact of graviola on pancreatic cancer. Supplementing with graviola stopped cancerous pancreatic tumor cells from replicating and caused them to die. Researchers suggest this natural medicine may prevent and treat cancer. The leaves may also be useful for treating skin cancer when applied topically.

Treating Viral Infections

Traditional medicines use graviola leaves as treatment for viral infections. An article published in “The Journal of Ethnopharmacology” in May of 1998 found that extracts from the leaves suppressed the herpes simplex virus. The herpes virus is spread through bodily fluids and often transmitted while kissing or through sexual contact.

According the University of Maryland Medical Center, up to 90 percent of the U.S. population has been exposed to one form of the virus and there is no cure. Some anti-viral medications can reduce the number of outbreaks or lessen symptoms. More research is needed to determine what role graviola can play in the treatment or prevention of herpes.

Pain Reduction

Supplementing with graviola leaves may reduce swelling and pain, according to a study published in May of 2010 in the “International Journal of Molecular Sciences.” Researchers gave mice with burned paws extracts of graviola leaf and observed their behaviors. Those given the supplement had less swelling and demonstrated fewer indications of pain. However, more research is needed to determine the safety and efficacy of this use in humans.



Dosing

The appropriate dose of graviola depends on several factors such as the user’s age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for graviola.

Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.

Possible Side Effects

DO NOT EAT THE FRUIT: Eating the fruit could lead to movement disorders similar to Parkinson’s disease, according to a case-control study in the French West Indies.

No established human dosage for graviola leaf exists yet. Long-term or high-dose supplementation may cause damage to the myelin sheath, disrupting normal nerve function. Movement disorders may also occur because of compounds called alkaloids present in the plant. Symptoms of these conditions are similar to those of Parkinson’s disease.

Talk with a doctor prior to taking a graviola leaf supplement or making/drinking soursop tea.

How to Make Soursop Tea

Directions:

Boil 1 liter of water, then take 15 soursop dry leaves (fresh or dried ones both have same value) and 1 small stem, cut into small pieces and put into the boiling water.
Don’t close the vessel and Continue to boil the water on small flame for 30 mins,until the water evaporates to 500 ml .
Now the soursop tea is ready to drink. Drink 1 cup (165ml) filtered soursop tea hot or warm or cool , 3 times every day, in the morning, afternoon and in the night.
For better taste you can add 1/2 spoon of lime juice ,2 pudina leafs and add some honey (not sugar).
After drinking, the body may feel the effects of heat, but no side effects. To cool the body drink 3 glasses of fresh watermelon juice, and drink 3 glasses of goats milk every day. In 2 weeks time you can feel the benefits of soursop yourself, and in 4 weeks time the improvements can be felt clearly.

SHOCKER! MESSI REJECTS NEW BARCELONA CONTRACT ; PROPOSES MANCHESTER CITY.

Marca: Messi rejects Barcelona
Details of Messi’s decision

Marca go into detail about how Messi reached his decision on not agreeing a contract renewal.

They report the decision was made in the second week of July, when Leo was vacationing with his family on a yacht.

Rather than relaying the decision directly to the club, Messi spoke to his father and advisors, who in turn acted as messengers.

Barca president Josep Maria Bartomeu is said to have received the news with “understandable shock”, however he’s since managed to remain calm.

It’s clear that Barca are preparing to return to the negotiating table with Messi in the near future, but there’s doubt as to whether the player will change his mind.

Marca loosely link Messi with a possible move to Man City, however there’s no good evidence to support that transfer story at the moment.

APC IN DANGER ! OBASANJO SHOCKS NIGERIANS SAYS, 'I DID NOT TEAR MY PDP MEMBERSHIP CARD '

       

FRESH  facts have , indeed , emerged  on the alleged tearing of the Peoples' Democratic Party membership card by  former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Our source who spoke recently to the aide of the former President of Nigeria in Abuja, Nigeria said  Chief Olusegun Obasanjo did not openly tear his PDP membership card as widely reported by the Nigerian press.
Recall sometime in 2015, the ex-president while speaking at the Global Education and Skills Forum, (GESF) in Dubai, the United Arab Emirate, said he did not tear his PDP membership card adding that he is not aware, maybe somebody else did it if the story that made the rounds then was anything to go by.
According to the former President, '' “I didn’t openly tear my PDP membership card; somebody else tore it because I said to him, ‘Here is the card, do whatever you like with it.
“If you like keep it; if you like tear it, if you like burn it. Here it is because they say it is giving them concern and they don’t know what is happening.
''I did that to prove to them what is happening; I could not have torn the party's membership card.”
This is in wake of the alleged threats made by Nigeria's literary giant , Prof Wole's Soyinka to tear his American Green Card if Donald Trump wins the US presidential election.

LEAKED SEX VIDEO ! THE ORGANIZERS FORCED ME TO DO IT--- Fmr. Miss Anambra ; Chidimma Okeke opens up.

Former Miss Anambra, Chidinma Okeke, has revealed the reasons behind her involvement in the sex video and why it was released.
The 20-year-old was seen in a sex video with a lesbian partner in a video released few days before the expiration of her tenure.
The beauty queen who was nowhere to be found after the release of the video, prompting her father to raise an alarm, has come out to tell her side of the story.


In a chat with The Nation, Chidinma said the organizers of the beauty pageant were responsible for the release of the video.
She also said those who were threatening her had stopped.

She said, “Early last year, the ABS advertised for the Miss Anambra beauty pageant. I heard of it and went to make enquiry.



“My roommate was also interested, but one of the organisers told me to apply. I told them I was not interested but the man insisted that I might win the competition. He also promised to give me the form for free if I indicated interest, and he did when I agreed to contest.
“But one Jane told me that before a winner would be declared, there were certain things to be done, including the (sex) video. I consented after some persuasion from the organisers. I later went for the contest at the Marble Arch Hotels in Awka, and I was declared winner with a Kia Rio vehicle as star prize.
“When I went for my car after the contest, the organisers brought out a contract form for me to sign, but I told them I wanted to contact my lawyer to see it. I was not given the opportunity to do so.
“What they kept telling me was that if I insisted on not signing the contract or wanted to contact my lawyer, they would release the video.
“At that point, I became uncomfortable and signed the contract to avoid such embarrassment, and the car was released to me from where it was packed within the premises of ABS.
“From that moment, I became a slave to them. On October 11, 2016, they called me to come and make presentations inside the office of one the organisers. After that, the man excused some people in that room and showed me the video again.
“They told me to drop my car and removed my crown from me. I told them I would take the car as stipulated in the contract. They insisted I should pack it in the premises of (ABS).
“I told my uncle in Abuja about the situation. My uncle called them and asked them to release my car to me. Instead, they forwarded the video to him as part of the blackmail. That was what happened,” Chidinma said, crying.

Manchester United fan; Usian Bolt, planning to join Borusia Dortmond

Usain Bolt plans to train with Borussia Dortmund as he considers pursuing a football career after his retirement from athletics.


Bolt, the 100m and 200m sprint world record holder, will race for the last time in London next summer at the World Championships.

The Jamaican has been in contact with Dortmund coach Thomas Tuchel, according to the Guardian, and will "see what happens" after spending time training with the Bundesliga club.

"We’ve genuinely been talking to people," said Bolt, who turns 31 next August.


Bolt is a high-profile Manchester United fan and admitted he still dreams of turning out for the Red Devils.

"For me, if I could get to play for Manchester United, that would be like a dream come true," he added. "Yes, that would be epic."

Griezmann: Hotline Bling beats the Dab!

The Kingston-born runner is a nine-time Olympic gold medalist with a perfect record in the 100m, 200m and 4x100m relay events at the three Games he has attended since 2008.

Last year, he reiterated his desire to go on trial with United in an interview for MUTV and was confident he could show enough ability to earn a contract.

"In my mind, I think I should do a trial and see if they would say: 'Alright, come on in' or if they would say: 'No, you are not any good,'" Bolt said.

"I think I would be pretty good because I am fit, I am quick, I can control the ball and I understand all of the play.

"So, I think if I do a trial then they would say: 'You know what, here is a contract for five years! You are 30 years old, here's a five-year

BRIEF HOMILY FOR THE 33rd SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME ; THE JUDGEMENT DAY IS NEAR FOR EVERYONE … By Rev. Fr. Cosmas Edochie

Today's Eucharistic celebration draws us closer to the end of the Church's Liturgical celebration which signifies the end of time.Next Sunday is the Solemnity of Christ the King, when we honor our Lord Jesus Christ as the king of the whole world, and then enter the season of Advent , in expectation the birth of Christ as a Man and also his parousia (second coming).Hence, the lessons from today's readings were geared towards the judgment day in which no one will be spared, because the just are to be rewarded with eternal salvation while sinners are to be rewarded with eternal punishments and damnation.
Prophet Malachi in his vision and revealed messages said that on that day, there will be total disintegration and catastrophe, where the proud and the wicked shall be uprooted and thrown into the burning furnace of destruction, while the God of justice will arise to cleanse and heal his faithful children of the wounds inflicted upon them by the evl doers. St. Paul admonishes us then not to be complacent or relax because our salvation is near. According to St John of the Cross, 'he who interrupts the course of his spiritual exercise and prayer is like a man who allows a bird to escape from his hand; he can hardly catch it again'. So we ought to persevere in our prayer life and good works, persist to work out our salvation bearing in mind that only those who persevere to the end, will receive the crown of eternal glory. St. Paul even gave it as an injunction that those who refuse to work, must not expect to reap from the fruits and efforts of others labors, which means if we always request for prayers , but not disposed to avoid sins, it may not have much effects, compared to those making sincere efforts to live a righteous life. Our Lord Jesus Christ in his plain and honest attitudes to himself and his disciples made it clear that at the end of time, there will be numerous signs and wonders to the extent of the total destruction of the beautiful temple of Jerusalem. Moreover, there will be wars and revolutions, earthquakes, plaques and famines, persecutions and imprisonments, betrayals, hatred and killings, but he warned his followers to utilize the unpleasant and challenging periods as a great opportunity to bear witness to the gospel and the redeeming words of God they have been hearing and experiencing. Thereby, where there is darkness, we become sources of light, instead of falsehood and telling lies, we bring in truthfulness, where there is hatred, we show love, and where there is misunderstanding and war, we become agents of peace.He also warned us not to be deceived by the agents of the devil who may use his name to disorganise our commitments and faith, thus, we must be courageous, firm and enduring, not to be afraid or give up, in order to be triumphant and victorious, because in all situations on the last day, good must triumph over evil. Jesus said, by our endurance, we will save our souls. Our faithfulness can only be proved actually in the presence of suffering and patience. Our Lord Jesus Christ endured the weight and pains of the Cross through patience and endurance. We also need endurance to share in the sufferings of Christ, because if we share in his sufferings, we shall also share in his glory. Therefore, let us pray that the God of mercy and love, in the midst of the uncertainties of this changing and challenging world, will keep us secure in his love, and give us the peace of mind that earthly inheritance and acquisitions cannot give, to be worthy of the eternal kingdom, through Christ our Lord.

WOMAN GIVES BIRTH TO TWINS AND NAMES THEM DONALD AND TRUMP

A woman from South Carolina who made headlines when she gave birth to twin boys at Grand Strand Medical Center and named them Donald and Trump says she has no regrets for giving them those names. The proud mum said:

“We weren’t planning on naming them after Donald Trump at first, but it is clearly a divine sign that our next president shows up in our state on the day my little sunshines are born” explained Latifa Huxley, proud mother of the two.

“Donald Trump is a bright and successful man with strong moral values that represents what America is all about.” she told local reporters, visibly emotional.

The family strongly believe the timing of the South Carolina GOP primary with the birth of their twins in February was no coincidence.

BARCA KEEPS 6.6bn FOR IHEANACHO

KelechiIheanacho  Add caption

Spanish Champions Barcelona are monitoring the progress Super Eagles forward, Kelechi Iheanacho and are ready to lure him away from the Etihad with a bid of six billion naira (£16.8m) in the summer.

    The 20 -year -old had a remarkable 2015/2016 season in his premier league debut, scoring eight times as he helped Manchester City qualify for the UEFA Champions league.

   However, be caught the eye as he averaged a goal every 81.27 minutes which was better than the ratio achieved by more accomplished strikers like Luis Suarez (83.77), Christiano Ronaldo (84.77) and Lionel Messi (95.95).
   According to reports, the Nigerian, who has already scored three times with three assists this season is monitored closely by by Barcelona after manager Luiz Enrique identified him as one who could fit into his playing style at the Nou Camp.
      Barcelona currently possess the best attacking trio in the world football, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar but Paco Alca‘cer has failed to shine as a backup which has made the Catalans turn focus to Iheanacho
        It's unlikely that Barcelona will prise the Nigerian away from the Etihad in January as Pep Guardiola considers him an integral part of the squad and showed faith in him by extending his contract to 2021 but the Catalans are willing to test their resolve to sell at the end of the current season.

NNAMDI KANU CONGRATULATES TRUMP, SAYS AMERICA WILL BE GREAT AGAIN

        The Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, under the leadership of Nnamdi Kanu, on Wednesday, said the United States of America, USA, will be great again under the Presidency of Donald Trump.

In a statement by its spokesperson, Emma Powerful, the pro-Biafra group congratulated the winner of US Presidential election, stressing that Trump’s victory was an act of God.

The statement reads, “The IPOB under the command structure of Mazi Nnamd Kanu the director of radio and Biafra television thank the good people of America and Republican party who challenged the incumbent president of Barack Obama and the democratic party to a stand still and defeated them to the landslide winning.


“Furthermore, we thank God Almighty (Chukwu okike Abiama) who made it to be possible because if it is the wish of some power brokers and some party members in America, it will not be possible.

“Mr Donald Trump passed through so many trials and so many odds from the leadership of the party but God Almighty made it possible for him to become the president of United States of America USA, not man.

“However, he should also remember his promises to the people of America and other people across the globe because USA is going to be great again by the power of God Almighty who selected him from the mist of millions in America.

“Therefore, we wish him successful handover and best luck in his days in the oval office at the white house. We pray to God Almighty (Chukwu Okike Abiama) to guide and protect USA and Donald Trump the newly elected president. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND DONALD TRUMP.”

I WILL NOT TEAR MY U. S GREEN CARD AGAIN -----SOYINKA

‎ Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, Wednesday, stated that he will not destroy his United States’ residency permit just yet; while

he warned that the victory of Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential race could jeopardize U.S. support in Nigeria’s fight against Boko Haram. In an interview with Newsweek, Soyinka stated that Trump’s ‘bunker mentality’ could see the U.S. withdraw support for counter-terrorism operations in West Africa. Following the announcement of Trump’s victory, Nigerians took to social media to question Soyinka about whether he would honour his pledge. In response, the report quoted Soyinka as saying that he is biding his time until Trump is inaugurated in January before deciding on his next steps. “Why don’t we wait until Trump actually takes office? I am just going about my normal commitments, but definitely not getting into any more commitments. Let’s put it that way for now,” he said. According to the report, under the administration of Barack Obama, the U.S. has provided financial support and military training to West African countries fighting Boko Haram. The U.S., it said, provided $71 million worth of equipment, logistics and training to five countries—Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Niger, and Benin—that together formed a joint task force in 2015 to fight the militants, according to a February fact sheet from the U.S. State Department. Obama also approved the deployment of up to 300 U.S. military personnel to Cameroon in October 2015 to carry out intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations in the region. “One should expect that level of collaboration to diminish. Trump’s mentality is one of, ‘What are we doing there? What business do we have over there?’” Soyinka stated. “I foresee Trump dismissing that kind of expectation offhand and closing in, shrinking, becoming smaller in terms of the U.S.’s presence in other parts of the world,” he added. The report said Soyinka is based between Nigeria and the U.S., where he is affiliated to several universities. Excerpt of the interview with Newsweek The victory of Donald Trump in the U.S. presidential race could jeopardize U.S. support in Nigeria’s fight against Boko Haram, according to Nigerian Nobel Prize winner Wole Soyinka. In an exclusive interview, Soyinka tells Newsweek that Trump’s “bunker mentality” could see the U.S. withdraw support for counter-terrorism operations in West Africa. The Nigerian author and playwright also says that he will not destroy his U.S. residency permit just yet, despite a pre-election pledge to “cut” his green card, which is afforded to immigrants granted permanent residence in the country. Nigerian Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka takes part in a debate in Berlin, Germany, July 3, 2012. Soyinka pledged to cut up his green card if Donald Trump was elected U.S. president.ANDREAS RENTZ/GETTY IMAGES FOR GREY GOOSE Trump, the Republican party candidate, shocked pollsters by defeating Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in Tuesday’s vote.

Boko Haram, an Islamist militant group, launched an armed insurgency against the Nigerian government in 2009, killing thousands and displacing more than 2 million since then. The group also pledged allegiance to the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) in 2015, though it has recently split into factions following the appointment in August of an ISIS-approved leader. Under the administration of Barack Obama, the U.S. has provided financial support and military training to West African countries fighting Boko Haram. The U.S. provided $71 million worth of equipment, logistics and training to five countries—Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Niger, and Benin—that together formed a joint task force in 2015 to fight the militants, according to a February fact sheet from the U.S. State Department. Obama also approved the deployment of up to 300 U.S. military personnel to Cameroon in October 2015 to carry out intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance operations in the region. “One should expect that level of collaboration to diminish. Trump’s mentality is one of, ‘What are we doing there? What business do we have over there?’” says Soyinka, speaking to Newsweek from New York. “I foresee Trump dismissing that kind of expectation offhand and closing in, shrinking, becoming smaller in terms of [the U.S.’s] presence in other parts of the world,” he says. Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari extended his congratulations to Trump on Wednesday, saying that he looked forward to working with the president-elect “to build on and strengthen relations between Nigeria and the U.S.” Trump had little to say about U.S. foreign policy towards Africa in general and Nigeria specifically during his presidential campaign. While he has vowed to pursue ISIS in Syria and Iraq, the Republican has made no mention of whether he intends to persist with or discontinue the country’s support for counter-terrorism efforts in West Africa. Newsweek contacted the Trump campaign for further comment but received no immediate reply. An analysis by South Africa-based thinktank the Institute for Security Studies (ISS) suggested that Trump could become “the single most effective recruiting tool for terrorist organizations across the globe,” including in Africa. The ISS cited Trump’s hardline rhetoric towards Muslims, his advocation of the use of torture and expressed desire to target the families of militants all as potential factors in Trump being used by militant groups in recruitment drives. Trump’s campaign pledge to temporarily ban Muslims from entering the U.S. has already been used in a propaganda video by Al-Shabab, a Somali militant group aligned with Al-Qaeda. Soyinka is based between Nigeria and the U.S., where he is affiliated to several universities. In a recent discussion with students at the University of Oxford in the U.K., which was shared in a video on October 27, the author vowed to destroy his green card should Trump be declared the winner of the election. Following the announcement of Trump’s victory on Wednesday, Nigerians took to social media to question Soyinka about whether he would honor his pledge. The Nigerian author—who was the first African to win the Nobel Prize in literature in 1986—says he is biding his time until Trump is inaugurated in January before deciding on his next steps. “Why don’t we wait until Trump actually takes office?” says Soyinka. “I’m just going about my normal commitments, but definitely not getting into any more commitments. Let’s put it that way for now.”

I'LL OVERTURN THE SHOCKING GAY MARRIAGE IN AMERICA TRUST ME --- DONALD TRUMP

Donald 

Trump In a recent interview with Pat Robertson’s television network, Donald Trump blathered that antigay conservatives the world over can rest easy knowing that he’s committed to overturning the Supreme Court’s landmark decision that struck down state bans on same-sex marriage nationwide.

The Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody asked the GOP presidential frontrunner what he thought of the Log Cabin Republicans calling him “one of the best, if not the best, pro-gay Republican candidates to ever run for the presidency.”

Told that Evangelicals want to trust his stance on traditional marriage, Trump responded:

“I think they can trust me on traditional marriage… and frankly, I was very much in favor of having the court rule that it goes to states, and let the states decide. And that was a shocking decision for you and for me and for a lot of other people, but I was very much in favor of letting the states decide and that’s the way it looked it was going and then all of a sudden out of nowhere came this very massive decision and they took it away. But I was always in favor of state’s rights; states deciding.”

DONALD TRUMP'S VICTORY SPEECH, FULL TRANSCRIPT : UNEDITED.

Thank you. Thank you very much, everyone.
Sorry to keep you waiting. Complicated
business, complicated. Thank you very much.
I've just received a call from secretary Clinton.
She congratulated us. It’s about us. On our
victory, and I congratulated her and her family
on a very, very hard-fought campaign.
I mean she fought very hard. Hillary has
worked very long and very hard over a long
period of time, and we owe her a major debt of
gratitude for her service to our country.
I mean that very sincerely. Now it is time for
America to bind the wounds of division, have
to get together, to all Republicans and
Democrats and independents across this nation
I say it is time for us to come together as one
united people.
It is time. I pledge to every citizen of our land
that I will be president for all of Americans,
and this is so important to me. For those who
have chosen not to support me in the past, of
which there were a few people, I'm reaching
out to you for your guidance and your help so
that we can work together and unify our great
country. As I've said from the beginning, ours
was not a campaign but rather an incredible
and great movement, made up of millions of
hard-working men and women who love their
country and want a better, brighter future for
themselves and for their family.
It is a movement comprised of Americans from
all races, religions, backgrounds and beliefs,
who want and expect our government to serve
the people, and serve the people it will.
Working together we will begin the urgent task
of rebuilding our nation and renewing the
American dream. I've spent my entire life in
business, looking at the untapped potential in
projects and in people all over the world.
That is now what I want to do for our country.
Tremendous potential. I've gotten to know our
country so well. Tremendous potential. It is
going to be a beautiful thing. Every single
American will have the opportunity to realize
his or her fullest potential. The forgotten men
and women of our country will be forgotten no
longer.
We are going to fix our inner cities and rebuild
our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports,
schools, hospitals. We're going to rebuild our
infrastructure, which will become, by the way,
second to none, and we will put millions of our
people to work as we rebuild it. We will also
finally take care of our great veterans who
have been so loyal, and I've gotten to know so
many over this 18-month journey.
The time I've spent with them during this
campaign has been among my greatest
honors.
Our veterans are incredible people. We will
embark upon a project of national growth and
renewal. I will harness the creative talents of
our people and we will call upon the best and
brightest to leverage their tremendous talent
for the benefit of all. It is going to happen. We
have a great economic plan. We will double
our growth and have the strongest economy
anywhere in the world. At the same time we
will get along with all other nations, willing to
get along with us. We will be. We will have
great relationships. We expect to have great,
great relationships. No dream is too big, no
challenge is too great. Nothing we want for
our future is beyond our reach.
America will no longer settle for anything less
than the best. We must reclaim our country's
destiny and dream big and bold and daring. We
have to do that. We're going to dream of
things for our country, and beautiful things and
successful things once again.
I want to tell the world community that while
we will always put America's interests first, we
will deal fairly with everyone, with everyone.
All people and all other nations. We will seek
common ground, not hostility, partnership, not
conflict. And now I would like to take this
moment to thank some of the people who
really helped me with this, what they are
calling tonight a very, very historic victory.
First I want to thank my parents, who I know
are looking down on me right now. Great
people. I've learned so much from them. They
were wonderful in every regard. I are truly
great parents. I also want to thank my sisters,
Marianne and Elizabeth who are here with us
tonight. Where are they? They're here
someplace. They're very shy actually.
And my brother Robert, my great friend. Where
is Robert? Where is Robert?
My brother Robert, and they should be on this
stage but that's okay. They're great.
And also my late brother Fred, great guy.
Fantastic guy. Fantastic family. I was very
lucky.
Great brothers, sisters, great, unbelievable
parents. To Melania and Don and Ivanka and
Eric and Tiffany and Barron, I love you and I
thank you, and especially for putting up with
all of those hours. This was tough.
This was tough. This political stuff is nasty
and it is tough. So I want to thank my family
very much. Really fantastic. Thank you all.
Thank you all. Lara, unbelievable job.
Unbelievable. Vanessa, thank you. Thank you
very much. What a great group.
You've all given me such incredible support,
and I will tell you that we have a large group
of people. You know, they kept saying we have
a small staff. Not so small. Look at all of the
people that we have. Look at all of these
people.
And Kellyanne and Chris and Rudy and Steve
and David. We have got tremendously talented
people up here, and I want to tell you it's been
very, very special.
I want to give a very special thanks to our
former mayor, Rudy Giuliani. He's unbelievable.
Unbelievable. He traveled with us and he went
through meetings, and Rudy never changes.
Where is Rudy. Where is he?
[Chanting "Rudy"]
Gov. Chris Christie, folks, was unbelievable.
Thank you, Chris. The first man, first senator,
first major, major politician — let me tell you,
he is highly respected in Washington because
he is as smart as you get, senator Jeff
sessions. Where is Jeff? A great man. Another
great man, very tough competitor. He was not
easy. He was not easy. Who is that? Is that
the mayor that showed up? Is that Rudy?
Up here. Really a friend to me, but I'll tell you,
I got to know him as a competitor because he
was one of the folks that was negotiating to
go against those Democrats, Dr. Ben Carson.
Where's been? Where is Ben? By the way, Mike
Huckabee is here someplace, and he is
fantastic. Mike and his familiar bring Sarah,
thank you very much. Gen. Mike Flynn. Where
is Mike? And Gen. Kellogg. We have over 200
generals and admirals that have endorsed our
campaign and there are special people. We
have 22 congressional medal of honor people.
A very special person who, believe me, I read
reports that I wasn't getting along with him. I
never had a bad second with him. He's an
unbelievable star. He is -- that's right, how did
you possibly guess? Let me tell you about
Reince. I've said Reince. I know it. I know it.
Look at all of those people over there. I know
it, Reince is a superstar. I said, they can't call
you a superstar, Reince, unless we win it. Like
secretariat. He would not have that bust at
the track at Belmont.
Reince is really a star and he is the hardest
working guy and in a certain way I did this.
Reince, come up here. Get over here, Reince.
Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy. It's about time you did
this right. My god. Nah, come here. Say
something.
[Reince Priebus: Ladies and gentlemen, the
next president of the united States, Donald
Trump! Thank you. It's been an honor. God
bless. Thank God.]
Amazing guy. Our partnership with the RNC
was so important to the success and what
we've done, so I also have to say, I've gotten
to know some incredible people.
The Secret Service people. They're tough and
they're smart and they're sharp and I don't
want to mess around with them, I can tell ya.
And when I want to go and wave to a big
group of people and they rip me down and put
me back down in the seat, but they are
fantastic people so I want to thank the Secret
Service.
And law enforcement in New York City, they're
here tonight. These are spectacular people,
sometimes under appreciated unfortunately, we
we appreciate them. So it's been what they
call an historic event, but to be really historic,
we have to do a great job and I promise you
that I will not let you down. We will do a great
job. We will do a great job. I look very much
forward to being your president and hopefully
at the end of two years or three years or four
years or maybe even eight years you will say
so many of you worked so hard for us, with
you you will say that — you will say that that
was something that you were — really were
very proud to do and I can — thank you very
much.
And I can only say that while the campaign is
over, our work on this movement is now really
just beginning. We're going to get to work
immediately for the American people and we're
going to be doing a job that hopefully you will
be so proud of your president. You will be so
proud. Again, it's my honor.
It's an amazing evening. It's been an amazing
two-year period and I love this country. Thank
you.
Thank you very much. Thank you to Mike Pence.

BREAKING NEWS : DONALD TRUMP DECLARED AMERICA'S PRESIDENT !

Republican Party candidate Donald Trump scored a stunning upset in today’s presidential election in the US, claiming some key battleground states and winning the state of Pennsylvania to beat Democratic Party rival Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton.


Had Mrs. Clinton won, she would have made history by becoming the first woman to be elected president in the United States. Mrs. Clinton would also have become the first spouse of a former US president to win the country’s top political post. Her husband, former President William (Bill) Jefferson Clinton, served two terms as president from 1993 to 2001.

Results of nationwide polling in today’s election show that Mr. Trump has secured more than the 270 electoral college votes to claim victory in a bruising election that some analysts regard as one of the most divisive in the history of the US. Most presidential polls over the last few weeks had suggested that Mr. Trump would lose to Mrs. Clinton, his Democratic Party challenger. Controversies dogged Mr. Trump’s presidential campaign. He showcased an unorthodox political style and often denigrated his main opponent as well as TV hosts, disabled people, Mexicans, Muslims, and immigrants. A few weeks ago, a tape surfaced in which Mr. Trump was heard boasting of getting away with kissing and groping women.

Mrs. Clinton’s campaign was often shadowed by an FBI investigation into her handling of classified information on her private email server during her tenure as Secretary of State from 2009 to 2013. In the end, FBI director James Comey twice announced that the agency found no grounds to file criminal charges against Mrs. Clinton.

The 70-year old Trump was seen as a long shot when he entered the Republican field of presidential candidates last year. But in an often-fractious campaign for the Republican Party nomination, he deployed a flair for edgy political rhetoric and sharp-tongued putdowns of his opponents to break out of the pack.

Mr. Trump became a politically controversial figure when he argued that President Barack Obama was not born within the continental United States and therefore was constitutionally disqualified from serving as president.

The president-elect, who made his fortune in real estate and casinos, won despite alienating immigrants, Muslims and other minority groups in the US. His anti-immigrant platform resonated mostly with white male voters with no college education, but analysts predicted it would doom his prospects for connecting with a broader base of voters. Surprisingly, he cobbled together enough votes from a variety of demographics to claim the election

SINGLE LADIES, DRESS TO ATTRACT MARRIAGE AND DON'T DRESS TO SCARE MARRIAGE : WITH GINA MENSAH ; AN ACTRESS AND A MODEL

Take it or leave it young ladies.

I am led in my spirit to give this candid counsel to the single ladies expecting to be hooked up maritally.
Don't always appear expensive thinking you will attract attention, although you may attract attention but may never attract marriage.
The reason is because men are proud if they make their ladies expensive, they celebrate such love nd effort they put in to make their lady expensive nd charming.
But, when you as a single lady already appear so expensive then you scare the men away because your expensive outlook being yet a single lady could mean a lot to the intending young men.
Your so expensive looks could portray a picture of being difficult nd uneasy to maintain, could also interpret a high taste that can subject a man under your control which men will always hate to associate with.
Pls, while you are still single nd maritally expectant learn to appear moderate nd maintainable, this is the young men's desire "to be able" to maintain their lady.
Dress to attract marriage, don't dress to scare marriage!

KELECHI IHEANACHO EMERGES THE FIRST NOMINEE FOR FC9a ANNUAL AWARD

When a football club as rich and powerful as Manchester City has the audacity to sell off or loan out all but one of its first team strikers and pin its hopes on the shoulders of a 19-year old boy, then you have to believe that boy to be something special.
Read Also: Alampasu, Etebo arrive camp, Echiejile still missing

Such has been the story of Kelechi Iheanacho since he broke into the first team of the Etihad club last season. Since then it's been goals, goals and more goals.

 With barely a full season of top-flight football in his career, the Owerri-bred talent has already managed 11 goals in 33, mostly substitute, league appearances.

Last season saw him score 14 and assist 5 in a total of 35 games in all competitions for City.

Iheanacho counts as one of a few players to have scored 10 Premier League goals before the age of 20.

Nigeria Vs Algeria: Portugal-based duo hit Super Eagles camp

This special list includes: Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen, Nicholas Anelka and Romelu Lukaku.

Iheanacho is the only Nigerian to have scored a hat-trick for a top European club side this year, this coming in the 4-0 FA Cup fourth round defeat of Aston Villa in January this year.

A part of Iheanacho's accomplishments this year is a Manchester derby winner, scored in the month of September at the Theatre of Dreams.

Kelechi is a reliable a striker, not just because he scores goals, but also because he tends to score important goals. He is a striker with a positional sense and maturity that belie his age.

Since his promotion to the senior national team in 2015, Iheanacho has been playing two roles for the team: one as a creator and the other as a scorer. Thus, thanks to him, the Super Eagles play with "12 men". The one person this most reminds us of is Lionel Messi.

In that short spell of six caps, Iheanacho has scored four goals, including the winners in the last two games against Tanzania and Zambia.

You only need look at the quality of those two goals to understand the unique blood that flows through the veins of "Kelechi".

Two classy goals, and two match winners. He is that one Nigerian player, you feel, has the quality and confidence to go to any team in Europe and still force his way in.

Iheanacho was one of the players nominated for this year's Golden Boy award, the equivalent of the Balon d'Or for Under-21 players.

The award eventually went to Renato Sanches of Portugal and Bayern Munich, but Iheanacho and Alex Iwobi were the only featured Nigerian nominees.

Fully aware of his exploits, FCNaija has picked Iheanacho as one of its five nominees for The Player Of the Year Award.

WHY WE KNOCK BEFORE OPENING THE MORTUARY DOORS.

OKUNMI- THE  proprietor of Emeka Mortuary, Okunmi Community, located at the suburbs of Ikom, Central senatorial district, Cross River State, Mr. Kalu Ben Chima, popularly  called Emeka Ambulance, has revealed the spiritual combats morticians, now and again, go through with occultists and    members of some secret societies before their corpses were embalmed in his mortuary.



The Arochukwu-born mortician, whose mortuary is located along Ikom-Calabar highway, confessed to NDV that dead bodies, especially those of occultists and members of      secret societies “do give us trouble while being embalmed because their bodies have been ‘fortified’ by the devil or some spiritual forces.

Power pas Power 

“In such cases, we have to pet and persuade them by talking to them to allow the chemicals to penetrate their bodies,    but  if they remain stubborn, we have to employ our own spiritual force and of course,    power pass power and we can then embalm them,” he disclosed.

According to him, he learned the trade in Onitsha General Hospital, Anambra state, and had come to know that some dead bodies were so “powerful” such that they do not allow others to lie close to them and he was always careful when  attending to such bodies.

The Mortuary Attendant 

don’t allow others to lie near them

His words: “Some powerful people do not allow other dead bodies to lie close to them, so in the night, they will remove other bodies near them and dump them far from where they are or they would go to an isolated place and lie there – all  dead bodies  are not the same, which is why we knock before we enter there.”

Mind-boggling tales

Our reporter traveled from Calabar to Okunmi to meet Mr. Chima following some strange reports about corpses in his mortuary established in 2010.

A few months after it was established, there was an unsubstantiated story about a man, whose car broke down close to the mortuary late in the night and he decided to seek for place to spend the night, and knocked on the door of a house he saw light burning close by.

A security guard reportedly came out and gave him a mat to sleep in a section of the room, only for him to wake up the next morning and discovered that he slept among corpses and he instantly passed out. Another case was that while conveying a corpse, the mortician occasionally walked behind the ambulance, while the corpse drives the van and the bizarre- that he sells body parts of dead people and so on.

Chima confirmed some creepy stories and described others as hearsay. On the man who allegedly slept in the mortuary with corpses, he said it was not true and he does not keep security guards in the mortuary.

Corpses still have spiritual powers

His words: “The corpses may be dead, but they still possess some spiritual powers to protect themselves. We have about 100    corpses right now and 18 abandoned ones,    but we keep the place open,    both day and night,    without any security and anybody, who   attempts to do anything funny by going there to steal or do anything has himself to blame”.

He, however, described as false claims that some people sell parts of dead people or do have sex with them.

Sex with dead, a deadly affair

Chima asserted:    “Do not think that because she is lying down there, she is finished and you can go and have sex with her. You will die also in a matter of hours or days and how can someone sell body parts of a corpse or water used in washing a corpse, such water is poisonous. People die from different ailments such as HIV/AIDS, and water used in washing their bodies is poisonous and any     person who uses it will either die or contract sickness.”

On the report that he has rented crowd of women, who engage in bogus weeping when a person dies, he said the women were part of a specialized     funeral services he offers.

Some people hire mourners before their death

He explained: “Some people do not have people to cry for them when they die,    so they will arrange with us while they are alive to get some women to cry during their burial and also, some people because they are polygamist would arrange with us to organize the casket, grave, and mortuary services so that when they die, there will be no struggle among family members on who to do what and so on.”

UPDATE ON MISS ANAMBRA LESBIAN TAPE: HER FAMILY HAS NOW DECLARED HER MISSING

When Chidinma Okeke, a 19-year-old student of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka won Miss Anambra Beauty Pageant organised by the Anambra Broadcasting Service, in 2015, little did she or anyone else know that her reign as a beauty queen would record a sad end.
The 300-level student of Medical Laboratory who hails from Ogboji community in Orumba South council area of Anambra State had been enjoying the benefits of her position until 11th day of October, 2016 when she was unceremoniously stripped of her crown by the organisers of the pageantry. The star prize, a car given to her was not only taken away from her and parked at the premises of the radio/TV house, but the Miss Anambra 2015 inscription on it was erased.
According to the management of the station led by its Managing Director and Chief Executive
Officer, Nze Uche Nworah, Chidinma was stripped of her crown because “she had served out her tenure in line with the terms and conditions placed by the pageant organisers.”
The unceremonious event, televised on 11th October had some senior members of staff of the station in attendance. Shortly after she was stripped of the crown, the social media was awash with video clips where the beauty queen allegedly engaged in lesbianism with another girl.
At first, Chidinma was said to have denied being the one in the video until about a week later when a more explicit version of the video, which she later owned up, was released by those she described as her traducers.
Although the beauty queen switched off all channels of communication following the attacks she was receiving from the public court, her lawyer, Mr Ikenna Obidiegwu, on October 26, arranged for a World Press Conference to be addressed by the beauty queen to tell her own side of the story.
The media parley, which was scheduled to hold at the Nigeria Union of Journalists Press Centre, Awka, was called off abruptly when information filtered into the complex that some gunmen were coming to disrupt it.
Miss Okeke, was said to have sworn to expose “the powerful cabal” behind her ordeal in the sordid video, but her lawyer later said that she could no longer address journalists because “her life had been threatened.”
Obidiegwu alleged that the Anambra State Commissioner of Police, Mr Sam Okaula, had denied his client police protection for the press briefing on the grounds that the police got a short notice.
  “The Commissioner of Police said the notice was too short, and that he could not mobilise police security for the queen immediately” he said.
According to a post she made on her Facebook wall, Chidinma said she had been warned not to step into the venue or risk assassination.
It read:
 “Considering the need to make the world know the truth about the trending scandal, and what we have been going through before then and now, I decided to hold World Press Conference at the NUJ Press Centre, Awka today. But from the moment I made public this intention; I have been under siege of threats by my blackmailers and traducers.”
 “They are seriously threatening to shoot me at the press conference if I ever open my mouth to say the real truth about the ugly episode. Since I have no protection and if I die now the truth would be buried forever, it’s my objective to sacrifice myself to save not just myself but other girls and other upcoming pageants by letting the world know the truth and what we go through” the post added.
Her family breaks silence

For more than two weeks of the ugly development, all the concerned public could get was a chilling silence from her family.
But Saturday Sun took a bumpy ride to Chidinma’s hometown of Ogboji. Read their report below:
 On arrival, our reporter met the family residence under lock. The thick bush growing inside the compound easily discloses to any visitor that the family must be residing somewhere else in the city. But members of their extended family living in the next compound gave their words on the raging controversy.
 Speaking to our reporter on the telephone, Chidinma’s father, Sir Jeremiah Okeke who is living in Aba, Abia State with his family, lamented that the family had been going through emotional and psychological trauma since it all started.
 With a voice laden with heavy emotions, the 65-year-old man told our reporter that the family had handed over the situation to God.
 “Chidinma is my own daughter” he said, “but there is nothing much I can say about this because there is a lifestyle adopted by my family. We don’t foment troubles.
 “I, as the father, have committed everything to God in prayers. Human being cannot fight our cause but only God in heaven. We are in serious prayers for God to intervene. I don’t have anybody on earth except God.”
 Asked if his daughter has before the incident complained to him that she was being sexually harrassed, he said he was confused about the whole matter, even as he raised the alarm over the whereabouts of his daughter.
 “I am confused about the whole thing as of now. It is only when I set my eyes on my daughter that I will know about all these. As it stands now, I don’t know where my daughter is.”
 He said he was not suspecting anybody of having a hand in his daughter’s ordeal as speculated in the social media.
 Going back memory lane, Okeke recalled that God’s mighty hand on him was evidenced on his miraculous survival from his childhood tragedies.
 “There are many ways God is fighting my battle. I was only five years when my father died. I don’t know whether I got up to six years before my mother died too. I don’t have anybody but it is only God that sustained me all through. It was same God that assisted me to raise and train all my children. All the family members are praying.
 “As it stands now, my daughter is still a small girl. I don’t know whether she is still alive or dead. But all I know is that God will prove Himself worthy to fight His children’s battle. I don’t have much to say for now.
 “So many people have told me to take certain actions but me and my God are still communicating through prayers. There are several ways God reveals some things to me. I am not suspecting anybody but only God knows who is behind that; whether he is human or spirit. I’m leaving whoever that is behind it to his conscience. The life of my daughter is most important to me now. Wherever she is, let her be alive for me.”
 The depressed Okeke, who obviously needs assistance to enable him bounce back to his years of comfort told Saturday Sun that his business which hitherto was flourishing was hit by the economic tsunami sweeping through the country.
 “I am a businessman but because of this harsh economic condition, my business is no longer moving as expected. You understand? I am just doing little things to feed.
 “I was a distributor for Peak Milk here in Aba, Abia State but for some time now, I have stopped because I don’t have strength for fomenting troubles. We borrow money from the banks to embark on the Peak Milk distribution business but when it became too competitive, in addition to the losses incurred in the course of doing the business, I stopped.”
 Chidinma’s cousin, Blessing Chinenye Nwafor, who our reporter met in their village in Ogboji, told Saturday Sun regrettably that the sex video had gone round their village.
 “There was a day I was going out on a mission, some persons stopped me and told me about the sex video but I didn’t believe it. One of them said he saw the picture but not the video. I left them in anger. After walking some distance, another guy called my attention and showed me the video. The people in that area started mocking me; saying all sorts of foul things. I started crying and walked away from their midst.
 “But later on, I learnt that what that boy did in the village was to share it with the villagers. I am personally annoyed about his attitude and I have resolved to call him later and caution him. They have an only daughter in their family. Suppose it were to be her, would he be going about and be showing it to everybody in the village? I have not seen him but once I see him, we would have some axe to grind.”
 Though the video had gone viral, Blessing told Saturday Sun that she was yet to believe it.
 “When I heard about this sex video for the first time, even though I didn’t believe it, I was not happy at all. I told my mother about it when I returned home and she was very sad all through. She could not sleep that night.”
 She described Chidinma as “a good girl” pointing out that “personally, I don’t believe that she did that stuff. I am of the view that she was drugged and forced to do that thing. It is also possible that her enemies are behind that.”
 For Mrs Hope Nwaka, Sir Okeke’s niece, her spirit tells her that Chidinma was innocent of the allegations.
 “My spirit tells me that Chidinma did not do that thing she was being accused of; I know her very well. I see it as something planned to smear her name and that of our entire family. It is also paining my daughter, Chinenye but I told her to relax that it was not true.
 “We are living in the last days. The love among brethren would grow cold. Nobody would want another person’s success. But I have not believed that stuff was true. It was forged. She could not have done that. Even if she did, know it that she was forced to do it.”
 Asked on the implications it could have on the yet to be married sisters of Chidinma, Mrs Nwaka said that it would not in any way stop them from getting suitors.
 “For now, it is only one of her sisters that has gotten married but it will never stop others from getting married too. God is with our family and He will continue to bless us with everything we need including ensuring that her remaining sisters get married at the appropriate time.”
 UNIZIK reacts
 Meanwhile, the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka said it was yet to decide whether to expel the beauty queen as the Vice-Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Joseph Ahaneku was yet to be briefed.
 In a telephone chat with its Director of Information and Public Relations, Dr Emmanuel Ojukwu, he said:
 “The Nnamdi Azikiwe University has not taken any position yet on the matter. For now, we regard everything we have been hearing as speculation. We will find out from the head of her department and the Dean of her faculty what is happening. The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Ahaneku, will be briefed and then the University will know the next line of action.
 “This thing is procedural because the Head of the Department would be told to find out what is happening because for now, the whole thing is speculation to us and he will report to the Dean. You know the reporting system in the university. And then the Dean will brief the Vice-Chancellor.
 “And you know at Nnewi, we have a Provost in charge of College of Health Sciences who is like the boss of all the medical departments and faculty in Nnewi. So the Vice-Chancellor has not been briefed. Whatever that is happening is still within the realm of speculation”

Pageant organisers disown beauty queen
 As the controversy raged, officials of the Anambra Broadcasting Service, organizers of the pageant, through a statement signed by its Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Nze Uche Nworah, denied their complicity in the circulation of the video.
 The statement read:
 “The attention of the management of the Anambra Broadcasting Service, organizers of the Miss Anambra Beauty Pageant has been drawn to a video with lurid contents purportedly showing former Miss Anambra, Miss Chidinma Okeke (Miss Anambra 2015).
 “We wish to make the following clarifications:
 The said Miss Chidinma Okeke who is allegedly linked to the lurid content in circulation has served-out her term as Miss Anambra 2015 and handed over the crown in line with the terms and conditions of the Miss Anambra pageant.
 “We condemn in clear terms any amoral behaviour/ conduct as suggested by the alleged lurid content in circulation and do not condone such. It is on record that the Miss Anambra Beauty pageant has been a platform to empower Anambra women and celebrate our rich culture and heritage. Winners of the pageant are bound by contracts to be of good conduct and moral behaviour and to uphold/maintain the honour in their position as queen.
 “Winners of the pageant also contract to refrain from any personal relationship that could appear to hinder their ability to perform the duties of their office as queen and role model and we do not expect any less. We therefore wish to dissociate the Miss Anambra pageant from any discussions on the said allegations.
 “We feel sufficiently perturbed by the mere reference already made to the pageant and hereby state that we are in no way connected to the controversy.
 “We apologize to the government and good people of Anambra State, our sponsors, supporters, friends and all those associated with the Miss Anambra project for the embarrassment the mere reference to the pageant in the controversy may have caused; whilst reassuring of the good intentions of the Miss Anambra pageant franchise.”

Chidinma seeks asylum
 Following the cold silence from the accused, speculations were rife that she had travelled out of the country to seek asylum.
 Her family in a chat with Saturday Sun raised the alarm over the whereabouts of their daughter. But her close friend who pleaded anonymity in a telephone chat with our reporter claimed that although she had not heard from her since the controversy started, she believed that she had travelled out of the country.
 This was even as her lawyer, Ikenna Obidiegwu, said his client has not sought for asylum outside the country.
 He said: “I have said it severally that my client, Chidinma is in Nigeria. She is in Awka. We shall address a press conference this week to say everything about this issue.”
 Meanwhile, the state police command had said it has no knowledge of the sex scandal.
