Father Mbaka – “I have 39 more prophecies that will come to pass” Posted: 16 Jan 2020 09:00 PM PST Catholic Priest, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, who trended on Twitter after his prophecy about who will be made the governor of Imo state came to pass, has said that he has more prophecies that will come to pass before the end of this year. The Spiritual Director of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka, prophesied earlier this year, saying: "I don't know the manner the revelation will manifest but no prophecy has ever been declared on this prayer ground without coming to pass. "In spite of all that would happen this 2020, there is hope. In Imo State, there is hope. Hope, hope, hope! Hope in Imo State. Imo people have suffered but God is raising a new hope that would be an agent of salvation for them." After Hope Uzodinma was declared the governor of Imo state, Mbaka revealed there are 39 more prophecies of his that will come to pass in 2020. He said this in a statement while reacting to the removal of the Imo State Governor, Emeka Ihedioha, by the Supreme Court and the inauguration of Senator Hope Uzodinma as governor. In the statement by his spokesman, Maximus Ugwuoke, Mbaka said he gave 40 prophecies on New Year's Eve. The statement read in part, "Uzodinma becoming the governor of Imo was just a part of the about 40 prophetic prayers Fr. Mbaka made on December 31. But that became the only issue people satanically picked against him. "God has vindicated Fr. Mbaka as He has always done for Fr. Mbaka and adoration ministry in all the battles, vituperations and attacks the ministry had faced in the past. To God be the glory." Maximus Ugwuoke said the victory of Uzodinma was evidence that Mbaka was truly an anointed man of God. The statement further stated that the fact that the Supreme Court's seven justices unanimously agreed to the judgment showed that God was behind the prophecy. It read: "The Judgement has for umpteenth times vindicated Fr Mbaka as a true prophet of God. People should learn to fear God and respect His anointed whenever he says 'Thus says the Lord'. "We are not all gifted alike, Fr. Mbaka's prophetic gift should be a source of pride for the Catholic Church and indeed all true Christians as a living evidence of divine presence within the Church. As a lawyer, I tell you that there are double fold angles to this miracle. "One is the miraculous resuscitation of Hope Uzodinma from the far away position he was placed in the election result announced by INEC in Imo State. The second is the unanimous confirmation of the seven Justices of the Supreme Court (without a dissent view) that Uzodinma was the rightful winner of the election."

Temi Otedola - “Acting is my one true love” Posted: 16 Jan 2020 12:30 AM PST Temi Otedola, daughter of billionaire Femi Otedola stated in a recent interview that she is in love with acting. The fashion-designer made this known while annoucing her role in Kunle Afolayan's movie, 'Citation'. According to Temi who is making her acting debut in the most anticipated movie, she hads been passionate about acting since her school days. Explaining how fate brought her back to her first love, she said: "I have been watching Mr. Afolayan's films like forever. From 'Figurine' to 'October 1', 'Phone Swap', and I was actually introduced to him, I told him that from university and through school I have always been into acting and that was my first passion in life and he told me about a script coming out and the lead character is actually a girl of my age and a university student and the story tells a tale of something that is so relatable and relevant to what is happening today, not only in Nigeria but all over the world." On why she took up the role, she said, "the lead character is a girl of my age and in the university while also treating a global issue that confronts women. So it is a story that is close to my heart, and I thought I could really bring that story to life." When asked why she's kept the creative side of her life from the public for so long, she said, "for me, it's all about timing, so, for me until this movie proposal had come, I don't think I would have entered into this arena of creative work, but this script is perfect for me. I'm so happy that I waited for this time. With Kunle Afolayan's film, it means I am starting at the top. So, I'm just so humbled to have been given this opportunity. The message is to tell women that we are hearing their stories, that we believe them. Women are being harassed in several ways." On leaving fashion for acting, Temi said, "both of them are still very close to my heart; I will always be designing and doing fashion, but also, this is my one true love. So I'll continue acting."

Putin and Assad caught on video making biblical jokes while mocking Trump in Damascus Posted: 16 Jan 2020 12:00 AM PST A video has emerged showing Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad having a laugh at President Trump's expense during Putin's visit to Damascus last week. As seen in the video, Assad and Putin joked that Trump should follow in the footsteps of, Paul the Apostle and visit the Syrian capital of Damascus. "If Trump arrives along this road [to Damascus], everything will become normal with him too," Assad said, according to a translation of the conversation. Putin then jested that Trump would jump at the offer and if not, he'll convince him to visit the country's capital. "It will be repaired… invite him. He will come." Assad replied that he's ready to invite Trump. Putin then smiles and says, "I will tell him." The inspiration for the joke was the biblical story of the Apostle Paul, who was struck blind by God while on a road to Damascus, only later to be transformed into a follower of Christ. The video comes a month after NATO leaders Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron, were recorded mocking the American president at the sidelines of the NATO summit.
