'I Won't Apologise for Kneeling in Church' - Ooni of Ife Replies Critics

By     No comments:


The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has berated critics who condemned him for kneeling in church at the Paul’s Anglican Church, Ife, Osun State, during his coronation thanksgiving service.

A picture showing the monarch kneeling down during the installation thanksgiving held at St Paul’s Anglican, Ile Ife, on Sunday, December 13th, had gone viral on internet, attracting diverse comments

While many that commented on the picture saw no wrong in the action of the newly installed monarch, many were of the view that the act desecrated the revered stool of Ooni.

In a statement signed by the Director of Communication and Public Affairs, Ooni’s Palace, Ile-Ife, Moses Olafare, the Ooni says it is an unacceptable sacrilege to equate Ooni’risa or any other king to the almighty God.

The statement read:

''The attention of Ile Oodua  has been drawn to a publication released Wednesday 16th 2015 by an online medium known as NEWSPUNCH in which His Imperial Majesty, Ooni’risa & Arole Oodua Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi(OjajaII) was criticized for bowing to God. 
God remains the highest, the king of kings  who has kept all kings  alive and has made it possible for me to be crowned as the  king  of the source of Yoruba civilisation.
“I have no  regrets whatsoever for kneeling down to exalt the almighty God who did not only create me,  but also kept me alive, saw me through all the storms in my,  life-journey and eventually crowned me as the custodian  of Oodua race.
“This act of equating me to God of gods of king of kings  and the sole owner of the universe is a wicked sacrilege planned to embarrass the throne. My emergence as Oba has been made possible only by the almighty Olodumare to whom I remain eternally grateful.”
Oba Ogunwusi was chosen as the new Ooni of Ife in October, 2015 following the death of Oba Okunade Sijuwade who passed away in London on July 28.

He was subsequently crowned on November 23, 2015 in a secret ceremony in Ile-Ife.

This Snake Keeper has been Killed by his Favourite Pet - a King Cobra

By     No comments:


The man, known only as Vladmir, died within minutes of being bitten by the cobra - one of the most poisonous snakes in the world.

Anna, his girlfriend, was with the 21-year-old old at his flat in south-central Russia's Samara Oblast region, when the reptile attacked. She told police he was feeding the King Cobra when it suddenly struck him.

Its venom is considered to be among the most powerful of all poisonous snakes.

Vladimir collapsed and died in Anna's arms in a matter of minutes.


His terrified girlfriend immediately called an ambulance but there was nothing medics could do for him when they arrived.

Anna said:
"Vladimir was not afraid of his poisonous serpents and liked playing with them. His collection of snakes included a green mamba, a red spitting cobra and the king cobra, which killed him. 
He had only had the snake for a short time."
MirrorUk reports that Vladimir began collecting snakes only two years ago and his social media profile was filled with pictures of them.

It is unclear what will happen to the snakes, although Anna has said she does not want to take care of them.

But it is likely she will have no trouble selling off the king cobra which is highly prized among collectors around the world.

The snake - Ophiophagus hannah - is predominantly found in forests from India through to Southeast Asia.

This species is the world's longest venomous snake, with a length up to 18.8 feet.

The 52-year-old Portuguese had been in his second spell at the club, taking charge in June 2013.

Mourinho's final match was Monday's 2-1 defeat at leaders Leicester City. Pep Guardiola, Guus Hiddink, Brendan Rodgers and Juande Ramos have all been touted as possible successors as Blues owner Roman Abramovich begins another managerial search. In their full statement, Chelsea Football Club said: "Chelsea Football Club and Jose Mourinho have today parted company by mutual consent. "All at Chelsea thank Jose for his immense contribution since he returned as manager in the summer of 2013. "His three league titles, FA Cup, Community Shield and three League Cup wins over two spells make him the most successful manager in our 110-year history. "But both Jose and the board agreed results have not been good enough this season and believe it is in the best interests of both parties to go our separate ways. "The club wishes to make clear Jose leaves us on good terms and will always remain a much-loved, respected and significant figure at Chelsea. "His legacy at Stamford Bridge and in England has long been guaranteed and he will always be warmly welcomed back to Stamford Bridge.

"I Saw Death Face To Face...I Went To Hell And Back"-Prince Eke Narrates His Gruesome Ordeal In The Hands Of His Kidnappers(Disturbing Photos)

By     No comments:


Nollywood actor and husband to Muma Gee, Prince Eke was released from the lion's den of kidnappers yesterday, after spending a week in their hands. Starved of food for three days, what we didn't know was that he was kidnapped with his PA, and he was badly brutalised and almost killed in the process of trying to escape but for divine intervention. 



Read his terrible ordeal in the hands of these evil people 


Driving to Port Harcourt with my PA, around Ubima link into Port Harcourt road from Owerri-Port road. Three guys jumped out of the bush with heavy guns, shooting directly at us driving towards them. As I tried to reverse, two came from the back with guns too. At that point I surrendered shouting ” please don’t shoot, please don’t shoot” they grabbed me and my PA straight into the bush.

At that point, they recognised I was an actor and they got so excited. We walked for a long distance inside the bush after they have already taken every thing on me remaining only my trousers.

They blindfolded and took us to one uncompleted building and then removed the blindfold. They waited till night before they took us by okada for about 30 mins ride to another uncompleted house where someone lives, because I heard voices. There, they took away my Atm cards and requested for my pin, of which I told them. 


There in the building, they were 9 of them. One of them went and withdrew all the money in my accounts  and  they shared among themselves. From there they transferred us to a thick forest at night and told us that this is where we were going to be sleeping till further notice. They chained us as we slept on the bare floor guided with four  gunmen. The next day, they brought some dirty wrappers and said that we will sleep like kings today. Then I realised that these were young boys of about 21 / 22 years, as one of them told me his story of becoming a priest but fought and got suspended.

On Monday night, the day I saw death face to face. I noticed that the chains on me wasn’t too tight. So I thought within me that this may be the best time to escape. I pretended to be very cold and asked for wrapper to cover myself, then I started  loosening the chains, pushed the guy with the gun and ran into the bush. They chased after me shooting.



The bush was too thick that I can’t even run fast. I kept falling,  at the end they caught up with me and I thought this will be the end, one said waste him at once, I was crying and begging them to shoot my legs or do any thing they wish with me but just spare my life. Then one of them hit my head the with Pump action  and blood rained on me like one under the shower, my body was soaked in blood. The order came again “I say waste him” and he replied “wait first”.





 They beat me mercilessly, that I can’t even open my mouth well up till now or even eat. They were hitting me all over my body with guns and knives. When they saw I could bleed to death, they quickly called my wife and told her that if she didn’t come up with 15 million naira by Thursday that they would bury me alive, to serve as warning to the Federal Govt. and others who think they can joke with their  business. 



At the end, their boss told them to tie me crocodile style for 3 days without food. They tied my hands, legs and head together for about 3 days. I went to hell and back. I don’t even know how to explain it. All I know is that God was in action, and knows why He gave me another chance.


One of them told me that I am so lucky to still be alive, that any body that tries to escape, is nothing but instant death. At the end, we paid the much we could gather and they freed us.

Coming out from the forest took over 45 mins on bike at high speed. I still can’t believe I’m alive today, now I know that God has a mission for me here on Earth to carry out. And I'm full of gratitude to God for I know now that He has a purpose for my life thus He gave me a second chance.



I say His name alone be praised.  I also appreciate everyone for your prayers and support.‎

Human Rights Activists Begs Nicki Minaj To Cancel Her Angola Performance This Xmas

By     No comments:

Female Young Money/Cash Money rapper, Nicki Minaj has been advised by the Human Rights Foundation to cancel her scheduled appearance in Angola.
In a letter sent to Nicki Minaj by Thor Halvorssen, the head of the human rights organization, Nicki Minaj is told to not show up in Angola because of the country’s human rights violations history.
 Nicki Minaj was scheduled to perform this Christmas at a festival called Unitel Boas Festas on Saturday in Luanda, Angola.
Angola has been ruled to by President Jose Eduardo dos Santos and has a long history of human rights violations of journalists and people deemed as the opposition.
In the letter sent to Nicki Minaj, it is mentioned that Angolan hip-hop artist Luaty Beirao was arrested in June.
As a strong-willed independent artist, shouldn’t you be advocating for the release of the imprisoned rapper Luaty Beirao rather than entertaining the dictator and his thieving family?” asks Halvorssen in the  letter.
“Ms. Minaj, you are well known for being involved with charities such as the Get Schooled Foundation, which helps motivate young people to graduate from high school and succeed in college,” Halvorssen writes in his letter. “If you move forward with this performance for the dictator and his family, you will be in league with the people stealing educational resources and opportunity from young Angolans” the letter further read.
 Nicki Minaj has not responded to the foundation’s demand.
Thor Halvorssen is known for dropping copies of the movie ‘The Interview‘ all over North Korea.
