"I was working for the devil for the past 25 years"...............

"I was working for the devil for the past 25 years" Born again Nigerian lady says as she shares before and after photos

A Nigerian lady, Sylvia Eguonor took to her Facebook page to share before and after photos of becoming a born again. According to her, for 25 years she was serving the devil and doing things that will please her flesh. Looks like she also stopped bleaching. She wrote;

I am not ashamed to testify about my past.
When I was in the world I never knew what I was doing is a sin. I was calling God a liar and doing to my self what will please my flesh, i was working for the devil for the past 25years before now. I use to do all manner of evil.
I committed sexual immorality
I steal and tell lies
I fought a lot
I put on tight, leggings and trousers
I wear makeup and I fix eyelash
I was fixing nails and painting them
I fix weavon and attachment
I put on close that exposes my body
I even smoke cigarettes
I peers 4 holes in my ears and I will put hearings in all the holes
I was bleaching my skin
I was like Jezebel until Jesus saved me,
I don't know that Jesus loves me so much. He saved me and now I am saved. Grace found me and I got saved.
You that is reading this message if u know u are still battling with ur sin repent now and accept Jesus into ur life and have salvation. Salvation is free. Repent and put away the attires of Jezebel. Jezebel is the first woman in the Bible that wear makeups and dress worldly , so whosoever that put on the attires of Jezebel is the daughter of Jezebel

Wow! You won't believe what the little Asian girl in the movie Rush Hour now looks like

Years ago, Julia Hsu graced the big screen when she played the part of Soo-Yung Han, Chinese Consul Solon Han’s daughter in the movie Rush Hour.
She was only 11 years old at the time. Julia is now 31 years old and looks nothing like the little girl of then. She is now a "slay queen" on Instagram and has over 123k followers.
Asides the change in her physical appearance, a lot more has changed about her, including her name. She now goes by Jinaci and she is now a rapper. In November 2017, she released her 11-track album, 11:11 in Hollyweird.
See her new photos below.

3 people dead and 7 others wounded in new Boko Haram attack where a community was razed in Maiduguri

At least three persons were killed and seven others injured when Boko Haram terrorists burnt down a community on the outskirts of Maiduguri Borno state last night, local vigilantes said.

A dozen terrorists stormed Koffa, some of 5 kilometers from Maiduguri at about 2000hrs started shooting and later razing down 57 homes.

According to a vigilante source, the operations lasted for an hour before Nigerian troops started arriving the village. "They came around 8 pm last night, on their arrival they opened fire on us, we ran into the bushes, unfortunately, three elderly persons were burnt to death and seven persons sustained gunshots wounds."

Another survivor Saminu Abba said they went away with foodstuffs and livestock before they set their homes ablaze.  "Just yesterday, we heard on the radio that Boko Haram has been defeated, just less than  2 hours later they killed our people, burnt down 57 homes and many were injured. It is saddening." Abba said.

It would be recalled that 3 days ago Theater Commander Operation Lafiya Dole, Maj. Gen. Rogers Nicolas announced that Boko Haram terrorists have been completely defeated in the northeast.

Photos: Soldier kills his wife and her two sisters before turning gun on himself in failed suicide attempt

A soldier last Wednesday, stormed the home of his wife's parents armed with an AK 47 assault rifle, fired about 20 shots, killing her and her two young siblings and injuring his one-year-old son before shooting himself in a failed suicide attempt in New Magwegwe suburb, Zimbabwe following an infidelity row.

The soldier, 23-year-old Carlos Chapeyama, who is based in Gweru and his 18-month-old son Tlowi Chapeyama whom he shot once on the leg, are battling for life at Mpilo Central Hospital.

His wife, Ashley Phiri (21) and her siblings, Nkosivumile Ncube (16) and Rita Nkomo (23) died on the spot.

Ms Phiri’s 81-year-old granny, Mrs Esther Nkomo managed to flee from the house when Chapeyama went berserk and started shooting the deceased while another relative, Mr Sipho Ndlovu (34) hid in the lounge where he had been sleeping when the mayhem started at around 1am.

The suspect allegedly fired about 20 shots during a power outage caused by the rains, killing his three victims on the spot.

Chapeyama and his wife lived in Mutare but she is alleged to have recently returned to her parents, accusing Chapeyama of physically abusing her.

Zimbabwe National Army Public Relations Director, Lieutenant Colonel Alphios Makotore, said Chapeyana was yesterday under military police guard at the hospital.

“The ZNA regrets to announce the occurrence of a family shooting incident which happened in New Magwegwe, Bulawayo. The circumstances of the shootout are that a member of the ZNA, Private Chapeyama, had a long standing dispute with his wife, the now deceased Ashley Phiri.

“On the day in question, the ZNA member had been assigned night guard duties at the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation transmitter at Guinea Fowl, Gweru. He then finished his duty and sneaked out of the camp with his service rifle. He then travelled to Bulawayo with the AK47 folding butt rifle concealed in a bag. Pvt Chapeyama went straight to his in-laws’ house,” said Lt Col Makotore.

He said Chapeyama randomly opened fire on the three deceased sisters, killing them on the spot. Lt Col Makotore said the child who was also shot survived but sustained serious injuries.

“After the shooting, Chapenya tried to commit suicide by turning the rifle on himself but was seriously injured. The perpetrator, Pvt Chapeyama, is now detained under heavy Military Police guard at Mpilo Hospital. The child is admitted at the same hospital,” he said.

Lt Col Makotore said the army will assist in the burials of the deceased.

An uncle to the victims, Mr Ntando Nkomo said the couple had domestic problems but they never suspected that Chapeyama would resort to murder.

“When he arrived from Mutare on Monday, he came here to see his child and told us of several issues, mostly suspected infidelity matters. Ashley repeatedly complained about her partner, accusing him of infidelity. This time Carlos also suspected that his wife was also cheating. I advised him to bring his parents so we would meet and discuss the matter,” he said.

“At around 12AM, Ashley phoned me, saying Carlos was at their house, banging their doors and threatening to kill her. I phoned my sister (Ashley’s aunt Judith Nkomo) and returned to sleep thinking it was just one of those issues, since they always had issues. An hour later, Carlos phoned me, using Ashley’s phone and said he had killed all of them and that I should come and collect the bodies. He immediately switched off the phone.”

Mr Nkomo said when the soldier called him he was at his house in Pumula suburb and he immediately phoned the police and then rushed to the scene.
He said he found the bodies lying in pools of blood in the kitchen and was told that about 20 shots had been fired.

Mr Nkomo said Carlos was also in the kitchen, with the rifle next to him.

“We thank God our mother and cousin survived the shooting. I’m still trembling,” he said.

Mr Nkomo said the family was facing financial challenges and burying three people was a tall order.

Miss Judith Nkomo, an aunt, said Chapeyama had not yet paid lobola, but the couple had been together for close to five years.

“When she recently returned from Mutare, she came to me and told me that Carlos was cheating on her and was also physically abusing her. She had serious scars all over her body from beatings,” she said.

The victims were buried today. Mpilo Central Hospital clinical director, Dr Solwayo Ngwenya on Sunday, said Carlos and his daughter were out of danger.

On Friday, the suspect appeared before Bulawayo magistrate Franklin Mkhwananzi during a bedside court session conducted at Mpilo Central Hospital.

He was remanded in custody to February 16 and advised to apply to the High Court for bail.
The soldier, who was initially confined to the intensive care unit, has since been transferred to the male ward and he is under police and military guard.

"Death came to seize her in 2004 but Jesus stepped in to destroy the devil" - Bishop Oyedepo celebrates wife at 60

Bishop David Oyedepo, the founder of the Living Faith Church aka Winners Chapel, is celebrating his wife Pastor Faith Oyedepo, who turned 60 today Monday, February 5.

The lovely message posted on the Press and Utility Facebook page of the church, reads:

"My wife is here today celebrating her 60th birthday. Death came to seize her in 2004. But Jesus stepped in to destroy the devil…In the midst of that attack, I was in 27 nations, blasting the head of the devil, with a wife dying!
Seek ye first the interest of My kingdom and leave the rest to Me...
She's on her feet today...
---
I said to Jesus, ‘that you heal her is not what makes you my God. Whether you heal her or not, you are my God.’
I'm sure He must have said, ‘My son, make you no vex, I will heal her now’."

President Buhari signs executive order to prevent foreigners from getting jobs Nigerians can do

President Buhari today signed an Executive Order 5 that will improve local content in public procurement with science, engineering and technology components.
The Executive Order is expected to promote the application of science, technology and innovation towards achieving the nation’s development goals across all sectors of the economy.
The president, pursuant to the authority vested in him by the constitution, ordered that all ‘‘procuring authorities shall give preference to Nigerian companies and firms in the award of contracts, in line with the Public Procurement Act 2007.’’
The Executive Order also prohibits the Ministry of Interior from giving visas to foreign workers whose skills are readily available in Nigeria.
It, however, notes that where expertise is lacking, procuring entities will give preference to foreign companies and firms with a demonstrable and verifiable plan for indigenous development, prior to the award of such contracts.
In the proclamation entitled ‘‘Presidential executive order 5 for planning and execution of projects, promotion of Nigerian content in contracts and science, engineering and technology,’’ the president also directed Ministries, Departments and Agencies to engage indigenous professionals in the planning, design and execution of national security projects.
It adds that ‘‘consideration shall only be given to a foreign professional, where it is certified by the appropriate authority that such expertise is not available in Nigeria.

Ex-Imo state governor, Ikedi Ohakim, threatens to protest naked over non-payment of judges in the state by Governor Rochas Okorocha

Former Imo state governor, Ikedi Ohakim, has threatened to go naked in protest of the non-payment of judges in the state's judicial service by the current state governor, Rochas Okorocha.
The former governor who spoke to newsmen at his home in Owerri, the state capital, said high court judges in the state had not been paid for about 16 months, adding that this is unacceptable.

Ohakim alleged that the state government also failed to pay about N7 billion, which the courts ordered it to be paid to those concerned. He said if the state government fails to pay the affected judges, he will protest naked along Wethdral Road, Owerri sometime in March.
''A governor is not bigger than the judiciary. For one year and four months, no judge in Imo State has received a kobo as salary. They are being intimidated, as some are often called into a room and warned. Unfortunately, no body wants to speak for these judges. But, I want to congratulate the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) for instituting legal action against Okorocha’s administration on the issue.”he said
Ohakim at the press conference revealed he will be running for governor of the state in the upcoming gubernatorial election.
