HOW TO REDUCE HOUSING DEFICIT IN NIGERIA

      By Olumide T. Agunbiade 

In development terms, the last few years of the 20^th century and the first few years of the 21^st century have been a total failure. Housing is one of the basic of human needs. The provision of houses through the creation of mortgages is taken for granted in developed countries; however, remains a major challenge in developing countries, especially in Nigeria.

Shocking Testimony Of A Former Devil Worshiper !

By Nonkoliso Ngeleka

I greet you in the name of Jesus Christ. My name is Nonkoliso Ngeleka. I'm from Nzimakwe and I was a graded in the space for 12 years. I was born in 1988, I'm 22. I worked in space since childhood and I climbed the ladder all the time. There are different ranks in space, there are devil worshipers in churches who do not know they represent the devil, and there are devil worshipers who can leave their physical bodies to go around in the spiritual world; I was in this second category.

May 1939: 5-Year-Old Girl Gives Birth To a Baby Boy!

By Olumide T. Agunbiade

Lina Vanessa Medina Medina Lopez made history back in May 1939 as the youngest mother known to man at the age of 5 years old. At first, the parents of the young Lina Medina thought their young daughter was suffering from an abdominal tumor. Her father took her to hospital after the shamans in their remote village of Ticrapo District in Peru failed to find a cure for her.

To everyone’s bewilderment, the five-year old Lina was the mother of a baby boy a little over a month later.Youngest-mother-ever

Medina herself was born on September 27, 1933 in a little village called Paurange. At the time of giving birth to her first born, Medina was five years and seven months old. Coincidentally, she delivered on Mothers’ Day of May 14, 1939. For those of us thinking far ahead, the delivery was done by caesarean. The boy child, weighing 2,700 grams, was in perfect condition and healthy. Mother and baby left the clinic after just a few days.

Those thinking of blackballing their young daughters can be on the lookout for these early warning signs. Medina began menstruating at the age of 8 months, believe it or not, breast and pubic hair started developing at the age of four years, her bone hardening was quite advanced and body proportions were a bit incredible. These are some of the signs of premature pregnancy.

The boy, named Gerardo after one of the doctors who attended to his young mother, discovered at the age of 10 that the person whom he all along took to be his bigger sister was in fact his mother. Gerardo passed away in 1979 aged 40 years from a bone marrow disease. It could not be established if there was a link to his being born by such a young mother.

Iranian woman barred from office for being too beautiful!

Looking at her photos she's definitely pretty but how is she too pretty to be a council woman? 27 year old architect Nina Siahkali Moradi finished 14th among 163

candidates in a city council election in Iran but was told a week later that all votes for her were nullified.

According to The Times of London, after news spread that Moradi had been elected, religious conservatives petitioned to have her disqualified because she's 'too attractive.' and would be a cause of distraction. "We don’t want a catwalk model on the council," a senior official in Qazvin said.

EMMANUEL SENAYON: I SAW BIODUN KUMUYI IN HEAVEN!

My name is Emmanuel Senayon; I'm 18 years old and from Nigeria. In November 2012, I became seriously ill, and my parents took me to a hospital.  The doctor said that my blood was very low and that I had TB . Learning this was very hard for my parents as they couldn’t afford the cost to have me treated, so they took me back to my home.  While I was on my bed resting, I started to feel strange and my whole body became weak.  I found myself outside my body in a pure white room.  JESUS appeared to me, His face was shinning and handsome, but I noticed He was not happy. He took my hand and took me out of the room to a stand before a great throne.

Redeemed Church to build 3-kilometre long church auditorium!

By Olumide T. Agunbiade

The Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, announced last week, through its General Overseer Pastor Adeboye that they will build a three kilometre long auditorium because the current one they have now, Redemption Camp, on the Lagos-Ibadan Express Way in Mowe, Ogun state which was built in 2000 with a capacity to sit one million people could no longer accommodate the millions of people who attend service there.

THE TRAGEDY OF SOCIAL MEDIA!

By Olumide T. Agunbiade

SOCIAL media has no doubt provided additional platform for people to share information and knowledge about things happening in their immediate communities and around the world.

But social media has equally exposed the beast in humans, at a level never experienced since creation.

In Nigeria, people now use the social media to peddle all forms of lies and outrageous allegations against anybody they wish to attack without fear of what such baseless and unsubstantiated stories would have on their victims.

The tragedy is that there is no law that controls the proliferation of the social media which is fast eroding the journalism profession in the country.

The situation is so bad that anybody can own a blog and publish whatever they want without care in the world. Most of the stories peddled by some bloggers have no by-line and there is no credit given to the source.

Nigerians must learn from advanced countries on how to use social media to shape an event of global interest. Why? Well, during the Boston Marathon bombings in United State of America, more than a quarter of Americans immediately took to social media to follow the story.

According to a survey report by the Pew Research Center, the online activity continued to shape the efforts; it has even been credited with helping identify suspects.

Why Nigeria should write Cheques to Every Citizen to the Portion of their Share of Oil Receipts!

The intention of  some of our leaders!

By Olumide T. Agunbiade

 Several years ago, two notable economists, Arvind Subramanian and Xavier Sala-I-martin, in a paper for the IMF said Nigeria was a ‘metaphor per excellence of a failed development experience,’ describing the government as so damaging to progress that Nigeria would be better off if someone sat down and wrote out cheques to every citizen to the portion of their share of oil receipts.

Nigeria is not quite the most corrupt country on earth. But according to Transparency International, which monitors international financial corruption, it is not far off — coming a shameful 172nd worst among the 215 nations surveyed.

Only countries as dysfunctional, derelict and downright dangerous as Haiti or the Congo are more corrupt.

In theory, Nigeria’s 170 million-strong population should be prospering in a country that in recent years has launched four satellites into space and now has a burgeoning space programme.

Our Money.

Moreover, Nigeria is sitting on crude oil reserves estimated at 35 billion barrels (enough to fuel the entire world for more than a year), not to mention 100 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

It also manages to pay its legislators the highest salaries in the world, with a basic wage of £122,000, nearly double what British MPs earn and many hundreds of times that of the country’s ordinary citizens.

A Great Nation.

The oil industry is highly corrupt, with 136 million barrels of crude oil worth $11 billion (£7.79 billion) were illegally siphoned off in just two years from 2009 to 2011

No wonder the ruling elite can afford luxury homes in London or Paris, and top-end cars that, across West Africa, have led to the sobriquet ‘Wabenzi’, or people of the Mercedes-Benz.

Yet 70 per cent of Nigerians live below the poverty line of £1.29 a day, struggling with a failing infrastructure and chronic fuel shortages because of a lack of petrol refining capacity, even though their country produces more crude oil than Texas.

And that poverty is not for want of assistance from the wider world.

70 per cent of Nigerians live below the poverty line of £1.29 a day, struggling with a failing infrastructure and chronic fuel shortages

Since gaining its independence in 1960, Nigeria has received $400 billion (£257 billion) in aid — six times what the U.S. pumped into reconstructing the whole of Western Europe after World War II.

Nigeria suffers from what economists call the ‘resource curse’ — the paradox that developing countries with an abundance of natural reserves tend to enjoy worse economic growth than countries without minerals and fuels.

THE REVELATIONS OF HEAVEN AND HELL TO 7 YOUTHS! (1)

We were in the room, when we had the first experience.  The room started to fill again with a light from the presence of the Lord.  It was so powerful that it lit up the entire room.  The room was full of His glory, it was beautiful to be before Him. 

Jesus told us, "My sons, now I will show you My Kingdom, we will go to my Glory."  We took each others hands and were lifted up.  I looked down and noticed that we were going out of our own bodies.  As we left our bodies we were dressed with white robes and started to go up at a very high speed. 

We arrived in front of a pair of doors which was the entrance to the Kingdom of Heaven.  We were astonished at what was happening to us.  Thankfully, Jesus the Son of God was there with us, along with two angels who each had four wings. 

The angels began to talk to us, but we didn't understand what they were saying.  Their language was very different from ours, neither was it like any Earthly language.  These angels were welcoming us and they opened those immense doors.  We saw a wonderful place, with many different things.   When we came inside, a perfect peace filled our hearts.  The Bible tells us that God would give us peace that surpasses all human understanding (Philippians 4:7)

The first thing I saw was a deer, so I asked one of my friends, "Sandra, are you looking at the same thing 


I am looking at?"  She was no longer crying or shouting anymore, as when we were shown Hell.  She was smiling and said: "Yes Esau, I am looking at a deer!" Then I knew that everything was real, we were really in the Kingdom of Heaven. All the horrors that we saw in Hell were soon forgotten.  We were there enjoying the glory of God.  We went to where the deer was, behind it stood an absolutely huge tree!  It was in the center of the paradise.

The Bibles tells us in Revelation 2:7 "Whoever has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.  I will grant the victor to eat from the tree of life that stands in the paradise of God"

This tree is a symbol of Jesus, because Christ is Eternal Life.  Behind the tree was a river of crystalline water.  It was so clear and beautiful, like we never had seen before on Earth.  We just wanted to stay in that place.  Many times we said to the Lord, "Lord please!  Do not take us out of this place!  We want to be here forever!  We don't want to go back to Earth!" The Lord answered us, "It is necessary that you go back to give testimony of all the things that I have prepared for those who love Me because I am coming back very soon and my reward is with Me.

When we saw the river, we hurried there and got inside of it.  We remembered the scripture that says that whoever believes in the Lord, from his belly shall run rivers of living water. (John 7:38) The water from this river seemed to have life in itself, so we immersed ourselves in it.  Inside and outside of the water we could breath normally.  That river was very deep and there were many different colors of fish swimming in it.  The light inside and out of the river was normal; in Heaven light did not come from a specific source, everything was just brightly lit up.  The Bible tells us that the Lord Jesus is the light of that city (Revelations 21:23).  With our hands, we took some of the fish out of the water; they didn't die.  So we ran to the Lord and asked Him why.  The Lord smiled and answered that in Heaven there is no more death, no more crying, and no more pain. (Revelations 21:4)

We left the river and ran to every place we could find, we wanted to touch and experience everything.  We wanted to bring everything back home with us, because we were so amazed at the things in Heaven.  They simply cannot be explained sufficiently with words.  When the Apostle Paul was taken to Heaven, he saw things that he could never explain with words, because of the greatness of the things in the Kingdom of Heaven. (2 Corinthians 12)  There are things we saw that we have almost no way of describing.

We then came to a very immense area; a very wonderful and beautiful place.  This place was full of precious stones: gold, emeralds, rubies and diamonds.  The floor was made of pure gold.  We then went to a place where there were three very large books.  The first one was a Bible made of gold.  In Psalms it tells us that the Word of God is eternal and that the Word of God remains in Heaven forever. (Psalms 119:89) We were looking at a huge golden Bible; the pages, the scripture, everything was made of pure gold.  

The second book we saw was bigger than the Bible.  It was open and an angel was sitting there writing inside the book.  Together with the Lord Jesus we got closer to see what the angel was writing.  The angel was writing all of the things that were happening on the Earth.  Everything that has happened; including the date, the hour, everything is recorded there.  This is done so the Word of the Lord can be fulfilled where it says that the Books were opened, and that the people on the Earth were judged according to their works that were written in those books (Revelations 20:12).  The angel was writing all the things that people were doing here on Earth, good or bad, as it is written.

Shark bites man on the lips after he tried to kiss it!

By Olumide T. Agunbiade

 Can you kiss a shark? Well, a Diving guide, Dave Marcel who had been taking tourists out on Elbow Reef off Key Largo, Florida for many years, got bitten by a shark after he attempted to kiss it.

Marcel would prove their harmlessness by kissing the sharks, and then allowing the tourists to do the same. 

Until the day one of the sharks bit back. 

The shark bite was caught on camera and aired on Discovery Channel as a part of this year's 'Shark Week.'

Marcel's key mistake that day was flipping the shark upside down before planting a smooch - something he hadn't done before.

WHY BBA SHOULD BE BANNED IN NIGERIA!

Beverly Osu: Our "National Whore"!

By Kayode Badmus

''.....So our "National Whore" Beverly OSU(outcast in Igboland) finally gets down with her 90days confused 'dada' boyfriend Angelo in a rather pathetic and undignified manner. But then what's the difference between Miss OSU and our pathetic politRicians who f**'s us everyday without reprieve.

Now the difference is that unlike former Nigerian contestant, Ofunneka Monokwu who got drunk and was 'FingerRaped' by a "married" 'dada' 5years younger than her, OSU(which best describes her anyway) warned us all with weeks of flirting and several foreplay...you wouldn't forget in a hurry the popular 'fingering' or "Nigeria's sub-rape" as posited by movie makerCharles Novia which the people we elect don't ever do before betraying us.

For your information, Beverly kept warning and preparing us for what to expect from her, making it obvious that her highly active libido which has in the past been satisfied by people likerapper 2shotz and several unconfirmed video directors(remember she is a so-called 'video vixen') could not endure the torture of 90days without getting some. Although overnight, several blogs have made a lot of noise about the "uninteresting" bathtub act between both house mates making Beverly more mentioned online than GEJ and Dame altogether in the past 20hours, its quite disgusting the show of shock in some quarters over the act...as if we never saw it coming.

Apparently its high time I give my opinion on this evil BBA which has continued to glorify bad manners, dirty acts and of course help create more jobless youths turned un-useful overnight celebs in the several participating countries. Africa seems to be at war...a war with poverty, bad governance, insecurity, economic crumbling, terrorism etc and all we can think of as a unifying factor is -in Novia's voice "Ghana giving Tanzania STDs" or "South Africa sub-raping Nigeria" or perhaps the glorification of privates parts turned continental public areas for global consumption in the rather disgusting shower hour.

I saw my parents, Whitney Houston,Gadhafi in Hell!

Linda Ngaujah.

A woman named Linda Kumba Isatu Ngaujah from Sierra Leone shared her experience of hell. It is actually the 2nd part of her visit to hell and she names those she saw there with messages they sent her back to earth with her.

“Jesus went with me to hell this time, when I was with Jesus, the brightness of Jesus; Jesus have light all over His body, when we entered that dark place, I was seeing, I could see, this time, the people in hell because of the bright light on Jesus (Jesus is walking with a bright light, a glorious light).

And then, Jesus opened my eyes to see some of these men and women in hell. Jesus gave me message to Sierra Leone, He said if I should have come in December to January only five people in Sierra Leone would have raptured five only. That includes the three righteous pastors and five other people in and out of the church, when I said this in Sierra Leone, people said it is lie.

Jesus said Sierra Leone is polluted; that the shepherds he gave the word to preach to His people in Sierra Leone are dying to meet God, but majority are in hell. So Jesus sent me to Sierra Leone

When we were in hell, Jesus showed me a glass-like aquarium with people inside it, the souls of human who are still on earth are in that glass inside hell. These are people on earth who are working for demons, we have some people on earth who don’t believe anything, they are on their own, doing all sorts of bad things, even pastors who knows the truth but are bowing down to Satan, they are partakers of Satan’s communion, their souls are in that place.

And Jesus pulled out a man from the fire and he introduced himself to me, he said, “I am Gadhafi” (because you won’t recognize him because the fire has destroyed him, he said, “I am Gadhafi, former Libya president”

Gadhafi said,

“Tell my Libya people to worship Jesus” he said, “Tell my people to believe in

Jesus”, he said, “Ah Jesus, have mercy, I never knew you are the right way, have mercy on me”.
He said, even the people who killed him on earth, he doesn’t want them to come to hell, he said “Tell my people to believe that Jesus is the right way.”

ANGELICA ZAMBRANO: MY SECOND VISIT TO HEAVEN AND HELL!

      At 12:00 midnight, some brother’s from  my church arrived at my house, then the media arrived, and everything was recorded.

As I was on the bed, suddenly, I saw two angels. Like before, they took my hands and said, "Get up, because the King of kings and Lord of lords is waiting for you." As I got up, I saw my body lying there, and the other people that were in the room. I began walking.  I stretched my hands out to the angels and we started heading upwards. We were going up very quickly, and in just a matter of seconds we arrived before the Lord. I heard the Angels worshiping, "Hallelujah...Holy, Holy." I was so happy. 

In the Kingdom of God was the most beautiful garden. I saw the Lord approaching me. He said,"Daughter, I have been waiting for you, because I have many things to tell you", "Lord, here I am, I want to stay with You. I don't want to return to Earth, please let me stay with You." The Lord replied, "My child, you have many things to do.  You have to work, you have to carry out My work.  I will show you something for your life, something for My people, and something special for mankind, because I want to save humanity and do not want anyone to perish."

Then, I saw two angels, Michael and Gabriel holding huge scrolls; these scrolls were very beautiful and glittering. As I was looking at those scrolls, I asked, "What is this?" and Jesus said, "Do you want to know wh

at is in the scrolls?" I replied, "Yes Lord."  He said, "Michael, open it." As the Angel Michael began to open the scroll, I could see gold lettering, like numbers, but I didn't understand it. I thought, "what’s is this?", and the Angel Michael replied, "All these letters and numbers you see written here are those people on Earth that have accepted our Lord as their only Saviour, through the experience that you have had with Him." I was so excited and asked him, "How many are there?" He gave me the total number of souls in the thousands.

I was heart broken and began to cry, saying, "Lord those are many souls that have converted", He responded, "You see, this angel, Angel Gabriel has the total number of those people who were alienated from My ways and have now come to Me, they have come to Me My child." I glanced at the number and noticed it was a great amount. I said, "Lord that means my crown is full of pearls and that you are going to leave me here in Your Kingdom?" The Lord responded, "No My child, your time is not yet, you have to return to Earth. Would you like to see your crown?"

Very excited I replied, "Oh yes Lord, I would like to see my crown," He said, "Angel Gabriel, bring her crown."  I saw Gabriel carrying a very large tray, with a beautiful crown, but with few pearls on it. I asked, "Lord, whose crown is this? He replied, "That is your crown My child." I asked, "But Lord, why is my crown not full of pearls, if many souls have come to You Lord?"He replied, "Daughter, yet a long path awaits for you, only 3,500 souls have come to My presence, but you have to go and preach My Word because there are still many souls that have to come to Me." But Lord, why can’t I stay? He told me, "Daughter, because the Crown of Life has to be full of pearls. I said, "Fine Lord, I will carry out your work." Then He said, "I have something to show you My child."
