Obasanjo stated this in his goodwill message at the 64th annual national convention of the Foursquare Gospel Church in Nigeria held at the church campground on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ajebo, Ogun State. The convention also featured installation of the new General Overseer of the church, Rev. Samuel Aboyeji, who took over from the immediate-past General Overseer, Rev. Felix Meduoye. Obasanjo, who disclosed that he first attended the church’s convention soon after he was released from prison, said the 64th convention was his fourth time of attending the church annual programme.

Naked Man Arrested for Shouting at Trees 2019-12-19 08:35:17 Read All A German man has been arrested after a marriage guidance counsellor advised him to run around naked shouting at trees. Dieter Braun, 43, from Recklinghausen said the stress release technique had worked perfectly until he was arrested. He told police that venting his anger on the trees had stopped him shouting at his wife. If I didnt go to the woods and scream at the trees then my marriage would probably be over, he said. He added taking his clothes off at the same time made him feel more relaxed. For me its a type of relaxation therapy. Feeling the breeze on my naked skin really calms me down. But local police said other visitors to the forest did not find his behaviour relaxing and have now charged him with causing a public nuisance.

Company paying $3,000 to smoke weed for a month 2019-12-20 07:35:24 Read All Every now and then a viral ‘dream job’ pops up offering candidates the chance to travel the world for £££, testing out private jets or something similar. There was this one, where people had to house sit their way around the planet, this one, where someone was hiring a barefoot bookseller in the Maldives, or our personal favourite: an advert for someone to man a post office in Antarctica. If none of those tickled you, perhaps you would rather get paid to take smoke large amounts of weed. It differs from the usual format in that you won’t be sent anywhere far flung to enjoy your joints. That will be done from your own home, presumably – and the company hiring specifies that the person they choose will have to live somewhere the drug is legal. We should add that using cannabis can be risky to some people’s mental health and is obviously not legal in the UK. If you’re still keen, however, the advert from American

Nigerian Pastor On Trial For Sex Slavery 2019-11-07 14:12:11 Read All Sporting untrimmed sideburns and winter jacket, while still managing to look unruffled and as cool as you’d like, 35-year-old Pastor Stanley Omoregie looks the Judge straight in the eye and beckons on God to strike him dead. The pastor is currently standing trial in a Lyon court in France and he has just denied charges bordering on aggravated pimping and slavery.

He speaks flawless French, which he considers being the fruit of successful integration, as he denies the accusation of being involved in running a prostitution racket and trafficking young girls from Nigeria to Europe. In the transcript of a conversation submitted to the court, Omoregie is heard saying he wanted "those with beautiful bodies, who can be controlled, not those that cause problems."
