FINALLY SILLY PASTOR, CONFESSES TO PERFORMING FAKE RESURRECTION MIRACLE & APOLOGIZES FOR HIS PART IN THE GRAND DECEPTION!!

Just like he had hoped for, the silly man, who calls himself a pastor, a man of God, got the notoriety he had desperately wanted, when to the astonishment and shock of all he faked a resurrection from the dead. In the video that had gone viral and that some very gullible people actually fell for, the South African pastor by name Alph Lukau of Alleluia Ministries in the glare of all, claimed to have woken up a dead young man who was in a coffin, with his mouth agape.

It was seen from the video how members of his church, made up of a large crowd were totally mesmerized by the supposed miracle and the news went far and wide and because of that, the act itself came under massive scrutiny and investigation.

Firstly, when one looks at the video very well, you would have noticed movement from the supposed dead, prior to being miraculously raised by the fake pastor.

So with his fake resurrection miracle not been able to stand scrutiny and after he was sued by those he had foolishly tried to conscript into the fake act without their knowledge, the very foolish man has come out to confess and apologize for the grand deception.

Hear him- "he regrets the incident as the man was already alive when he arrived at the church.

Speaking to a Gauteng broadcaster Power FM’s Power Drive host Thabiso Tema on Wednesday evening, Lukau said he was busy with a sermon on Sunday when he was interrupted and told that a person in a coffin had been brought to the church.

“Before entering the premises of the church, the coffin began to shake, meaning the person was alive,” Lukau explained. “I am really sorry for the misrepresentation of facts, the man was not dead and has never been in the mortuary as we earlier said”,

When asked by the host why the man had been brought to the church in the first place, Lukau said: “I am not sure if I can make a statement that he was brought to me. We are the house of God and I’m just a pastor serving in the house of the Lord but I am sorry that we didn’t tell people the truth in the first place”, he said.

Lukau said the man was brought to the church by his family, who believed that something would happen if he was prayed for.

He added that further questions about why the man was brought to the church would be better answered by the man’s family.

“I think that they brought the person to church because they believed that God had the ability to resurrect the person. but still our brother was alive even before he was brought to church and we really apologize for not telling the truth in the first place,” Lukau said

From the above, it is still very obvious that the fake man of God is still not telling the whole truth! But even at that, since he has confessed to being a part of a fake miracle in the 1st instance, what would now happen to him, his church and even the acting dead man, all of who are co-conspirators in this buffoonery or better still arrant mischief? It is very obvious that he couldn't have acted alone in the whole matter. Would he be allowed to go on deceiving the people? For him to have gone on this scale or level, what would he do next? Could this terrible one have been his 1st time? There are loads of questions that needs answers! !

Groom's men

All for one, one for all

Mai Atafo

This undoubtedly is the stuff of dreams. Both bride and groom are badass romantic. This we can tell anyone would break the internet, many times over at least by our own Nigerian and African standards.

The setting is most definitely from Lalaland. The boys were decked like they were James Bond, looking shaken not stirred. Handsome and stylish boys dem all be- BOMBERS!

Cape Town has consistently remained top 10, if not top 5 most beautiful spot in the world, so just imagine such a setting for a wedding and the kind of background. The official photographer, Kelechi Amadi Obi must have gone to heaven and back.

Imagine having one wedding ceremony and been on the honeymoon right at the same time, we can tell you for a fact that these nights would be the one of the favoured night that conception would take place, just the right setting.

Adesua's outfit was made to measure for her by Ohimai Atafo of weddings by Mai. Mai himself is one of the groomsmen and is on standby to make sure the Sisi Yemmie dress is not any issue.

Let's not talk too much, have a view of gorgeousness in an idyllic setting that's a vision of heaven on Earth! Praaaaaaaa!!!!!!

Enjoy!!!!

EBUKA TAKES CAPE TOWN SOUTH AFRICA AS #BAAD2017 #FINALE

After sweeping, breaking, obliterating and eviscerating the internet and all comers on Sunday and in the week preceding, wearing that superb, very innovative, quite stylish new take on the famous and evergreen Agbada, as conjured by Ugo Monye, the young designer in town whose profile must have quadruple over night, due to the attention Ebuka Obi Uchendu, must have brought his way.

EBUKA himself is not relenting at all, as he is in idyllic Cape Town, South Africa already in preparation for the finale of Banky W and Adesua which has been tagged #BAAD2017 #Finale #whitewedding.

The handsome hunk and style fiend, is already taking Cape Town by storm readily sharing his #capetown #southafricaexperience with us on the social media, but while everyone is relaxed in preparation for the white wedding, even his friends are already fearing that he might again upstage everyone again with his fluxiness and swag. 

ON TO THE NEXT- MR & MRS BANKOLE & ADESUA WELLINGTON OFF TO CAPETOWN FOR THE WHITE #BAAD2017

After staging the one of a kind traditional/engagement tagged #BAAD2017 #TRAD for the whole world, and then doing the secret registry bit yesterday, it's on to the next segment of #BAAD2017. Now the hashtag would read #whiteweddingincapetown.

The couple left lastnite on their way to picturesque CAPETOWN, SA to conclude/finalise the ceremonies with a church wedding, which is like sealing what is already a legal union with church blessings. Unlike the Lagos, Nigeria affair, this would be a more intimate setting kind of, with close family members, few friends and other guests who can make it to South Africa in attendance.

The Lagos leg was stunning and seems like it has broken the internet, this duo have gotten love from all and are equally madly in love.

The besotted lovebirds had things to say on their different social media handles, Banky's is captured above in the screen shot and Adesua's is reproduced below-

…And we’re off to Capetown💃💃💃

ROCHAS OKOROCHA OF IMO STATE- HOW DOES ONE DESCRIBE A MAN TOTALLY DISCONNECTED FROM HIS OWN PEOPLE?

People have asked the question to ascertain whether he is edelibrately insensitive?

That's only because how can one just make a decision that is so totally out of sync?

Is it that he lacks advisers? Or it's just that even when they advise him, he sees himself as the only intelligent one around, the undisputable lord of the manor, who can do no wrong?

Firstly, you brought in to the country, one of the most vilified person in Africa, same person whose own country people are doing their best to investigate for so many allegations. Same man who presides over a country, whose people totally hates your own countrymen and have even murdered a few to show you how they mean business.

So this same Jacob Zuma came into the country and in what still seem like a dream you unveil a statue of him! Which makes one to ask, is he Nelson Mandela? Or better still, what is Jacob Zuma's contribution to the world and to Nigeria to warrant such a monument? If the tables were turned, would South Africa or the government have done such for us too?

You used taxpayers money, which you claim not to have enough of, still owing backlogs of salaries, on a round of folly? Just to make yourself look totally out of tune and totally far away from reality?

And this is the same person that would point out or chose for his own people, who to succeed him at the next election? 

To say one is disappointed, would have meant one had expected better from you, the shock here comes from the fact that action was actually you, you made no effort at all, at not being predictable!

You goofed!!!!!

OBASANJO- TRUMP IS GOD'S DIVINE WILL

Chief Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo

President Donald Trump

The former 2 Times leader of the Nigerian State, first as a Military Head of State and secondly as a 2 term Civilian President, Chief Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo GCFR, recently in far away South Africa, posited that the current President of the United States of America, Mr. Donald Trump is the President of that country by the "divine will of God".

He made the statement in far away Pretoria, the Capital of South Africa at an event at the French Embassy in that country.

According to the respected former President, the turnout of the things in the USA is not the makings of any man, but all rather according to the plans of the God.

He said and we quote "though the African continent still needs "Foreign Direct Investments" the time has come for the continent to show the rest of the world, that it can take charge of her own future". 

He went further to reiterate that "The fact that America produced a Trump in this day and age, means Americans are as human as we are". 

"I am not justifying what African leaders are doing. If our leaders are doing wrong, we should say that they are wrong". 

"Trump has come by "Divine Will" so that America can be humbled and we can also learn a lesson. Nobody can do it for us, and it is all of us and if we do it, we will get it right". 

OLAJUMOKE TAKES SOUTH AFRICA

It is only when a person's morning comes, that the one can begin on his/her journey in life. Obviously Olajumoke Orisaguna's morning came sometime ago and she's reveling in the dawn of it.

Life has changed greatly, from the times of hawking bread on the streets, to now owning her own bakery and employing others, to becoming a celebrity of note and even a model at that.

The former breadseller, now a certified celebrity in her own right, embarked on her 1st trip outside Nigeria to Johannesburg, South Africa enroute trips to some other countries recently.

In this pictures from South Africa the changes that have taken place are so obvious for all to see and it is super great.

OUSTED ANGELO CONFIRMS BEVERLY GOT THE LONG THING.............

The ousted South African Big Brother contestant boyfriend or quick shag of Beverly Osu, our new reality TV superstar & proud Nigerian sister has confirmed that they engaged in 'bedmatics Olympiad'. 

The dreadlock carrying SA hunk must have been SO GOOD at the game that Beverly reportedly demanded more of the same, at least that was what the dude confessed. He reportedly said they had their major falling out prior to his eviction because he was hounded by our gorgeous representative for servicing and he didn't want to repeat his former action because he had promised his momma not to do it (that is, allow anyone to get the long thing). 

At least it's now tit for tat in a way, just like Nigerians seem to have it kinda easy getting them Southie dearies, Angelo has shown his on mettle doing same with our Naija wonder gal. 

By this confession of the Popish Angelo, Beverly must have been a special gal for him to have gone against his mother's advise in the first place. Who can resist our Bev the 'Blabber mouth'.

Hear Angelo- ''I like Beverly because she's a strong woman and she would go for whatever she wants''

Questioned on why the duo had the huge fight, the hunk said ''Beverly told me, it had been over a week since we last did it, but I said NO. I promised my mother I would not do such. So I can't do it again.

We are of a feeling that Beverly is most likely to win this year's Big Brother Show, any one with any contrary thought should do like Robert Mugabe advised. 

Why do we think she would win?............Becos she represents a colossal number of her kind of people who would do anything to make sure she gets the prize, so they would vote and vote and get her there!!!!

But personally for all that's good and right, Melvin has our vote!!! Chikena!

AFWL 2013, DESIGNER FOCUS- THULA SINDI FROM SOUTH AFRICA

The 2013 edition of the Africa Fashion Week London has come and gone. But the memories, echoes of the 3 days fashion extravaganza is still lingering. The social media has been agog with news about the showcases. It was the 3rd in the series of the annual showcase and this edition was by far the biggest. 


The Old Truman Brewery, on 91, Bricklane, in Shoreditch hosted the 3 days. Designers from everywhere were around and the place was packed full with media sorts from all over, CNN, Financial Times, Sky etc.

We would be showcasing a few of the designers that got our interest at the 3 days event. Some of who we have seen the mark of greatness on and we are sure if they continue in their strides are already on the path to 'superstardom'. 

So let's welcome the incredibly talented 'THULA SINDI' from South Africa. He is already so very well known he needs no introduction. He was one of the main highlights at the 3 days showcase.

BBA THE CHASE SHENANIGAN- ANGELO PLAYS PIANO OR GUITAR WITH BEVERLY'S .................

Na wa oooooo. So after holding body for all of 2 months, Beverly Osu one half of the Nigerian housemates at this year's competition, finally gave in to Angelo's digging, pestering fingers. And to show that Angelo can strum Beverly's guitar very well, she gave in to sonorous exclamations. Whimpering ecstatically as if heaven was gonna fall down. 

There has been reactions from many after the whole shenanigan, some outrightly condemning Beverly's actions, while some have been lenient, especially saying being boxed up in a house all of many weeks can bring out the wanton in all. 

We have not much to say, only to ask whether the people were expecting very much from Beverly in the first case? According to some of her own utterances she's a 'wild person', so is it possible for a leopard just to change spots just like that? What if these her antics are some parts of her plans to endear her to more people and can even get her to the finals? 

At least strumming with the fingers cannot lead to contacting STD's, so hers might still be the lesser of the evil. Unlike Nando who has claimed Selly sold him Chlamydia, Angelo might not be able to claim that. 

Thank God that due to Beverly, our relationship with the people & nation of South Africa, would have improved many notch now for best. 

All hail Bev the babe!!! Hooray!!!. Nigerians forget very easily jare!!! So if you win the dough, everyone go just dey celebrate you forgetting everything bad or terrible wey you do. So enjoy yaself!

GBEMI OLATERU OLAGBEGI SHARES PERSONAL DIARY ABOUT MTV ALL STARS TRIP IN DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA.

Celebrity compere and Beat FM OAP, Gbemi Olateru-Olagbegi was one of the selected journalists who attended the recently concluded MTV Africa All stars concert in Durban, South Africa and has shared her personal experience of the four-day trip.

I was invited by MTV Base &KwaZulu Natal province to attend the grand finale of African All Stars Concert in Durban, South Africa. I sorted out my travel documents and eagerly awaited the trip. This would be my first proper trip to another African Country. I have been to Kenya once but it was a stop over trip on the way to Dubai. I used to feel a little ashamed of visiting other countries in other continents often but not Africa.

I got to the Muritala Mohammed airport extra early and I still had to queue! I hate queuing! I checked, went through security and was SO ready to get out of Lagos.

The flight there was smooth and uneventful. When we got to Johannesburg, I met up with the crew- Onos, Chuks, Omaliicha and Colette. Our first port of call was the Bureau de Change to change our money to South African Currency. I got my rands and I thought I was “balling” (as rappers say) Lol. PIC

The flight to Johannesburg was very short. We were soon in Durban. Our airport pickup crew was there to welcome us. We loaded up our suitcases and we were off to our hotel. The rest of the crew made fun of me because I had two suitcases and my handbag. What can I say? I don’t pack light!

I was looking forward to going shopping at a REAL MALL!! Everyone who knows me knows I LOVE shopping!!
