SIB Summons Pastor Bakare On Anti Jonathan Sermon.



Pastor Tunde Bakare


Hello Friends!


The State Intelligence Bureau, SIB, of the Nigeria Police Force, Lagos State Police Command, has summoned the Serving Overseer of the Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, for a chat with the state Commissioner of Police, Umaru Manko.

The invitation signed by the officer in charge of the bureau, CSP Usman Ayuba, was dated Tuesday, 26 June, 2012, and the pastor was expected to report on Thursday, 28 June.

Although SIB did not disclose why Bakare was summoned, the invitation may not be unconnected with a recent sermon Pastor Bakare preached concerning President Goodluck Jonathan, the oil moguls and the scandal surrounding the alleged N93 million bribe Zenon Oil boss, Femi Otedola gave Farouk Lawan.

During the sermon which was preached on Sunday, 17 June, Bakare said: “President Jonathan is dancing to the drumbeat of destiny. His destiny is to bankrupt Nigeria. He has the full support of corporate cowboys and oil vultures. It is clear that Nigeria is a nation under divine judgement. We need a cleansing in this land and if we do not stand up now to do what we ought to do, there may not be 2015 for Nigerians.”

Bakare, who is also the Convener of Save Nigeria Group, held a press conference same day where he repeated what he said during the sermon and added that Otedola and Lawan, the suspended Chairman, House of Representatives Ad Hoc Committee on Fuel Subsidy, management, are both culpable in the bribery scandal rocking the House.

P.M.NEWS could not reach Pastor Bakare at press time to react to the invitation as he was said to have travelled to Ukraine.

However, speaking on behalf of the pastor this morning, Yinka Odumakin confirmed the SIB invitation, adding that President Jonathan was acting in concert with oil barons to silence the voices of those who are seeking genuine change in the country.
He said Bakare would honour the invitation as soon as he returns from Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Otedola has slammed a N25 billion compensation and an apology demand on Bakare concerning the scathing attack on him.
A letter to that effect was written by Otedola’s counsel, Victor Ogude of Babajide Koku & Co. Chambers.

Otedola’s counsel complained that Bakare portrayed his client as an oil thief and liar and that the report published in newspapers on Monday, 18 June should be retracted in its entirety. In the widely publicised sermon and the outcome of the press conference he held, Bakare insisted that both Otedola and Lawan should be investigated because one of them is a bribe giver and the other a bribe taker.

Cameroon striker, Eto’o faces Spanish tax evasion charge

Unknown-13


Hello Friends!

 

A Spanish public prosecutor has accused Cameroon striker, Samuel Eto’o, of conspiring to evade 3.5 million euros in taxes owed on income from his image rights when he was playing for Barcelona
between 2006-2009.

The former Barca and Inter Milan player, now with Russian Premier League club Anzhi Makhachkala, is accused of four tax offences, each punishable with up to five years in prison and a fine of as much as 21 million euros.

The case presented by the prosecutor on June 15 at a Barcelona court, and which was seen by Reuters on Thursday, asks a judge to open proceedings against the player before the statute of limitations on one of the alleged offences expires on Saturday.

Spain recently launched a drive against tax evasion as it struggles to meet tough European deficit reduction targets that have meant budget cuts for hospitals and schools.

Eto’o allegedly created two companies, one in Hungary and another in Spain, and used them to channel income obtained from ceding his image rights to Barca and sportswear maker Puma, the prosecutor said.

The Hungarian company paid one of the lowest corporate tax rates in
Europe – 10 per cent to 19 per cent – while the Spanish company paid a reduced corporate tax rate of 30 per cent to 35 per cent, instead of the 45 per cent income tax rate, the charge said.

Eto’o also allegedly used the Spanish company to deduct personal expenses, such as payments for his mortgages, furniture and expenses related to his luxury cars, the complaint added.
Eto’o and his club could not immediately be reached for comment.

Adele announces she is expecting a baby with boyfriend Simon Konecki

'We're over the moon': Adele has announced she and boyfriend Simon Konecki are expecting their firstchild
'We're over the moon': Adele has announced that she and boyfriend Simon Konecki are expecting their first child.


Hello Friends!


Adele has announced that she is pregnant with her first child with boyfriend Simon Konecki.

The singer, 24, revealed the news on her website to her fans, writing: 'I'm delighted to announce that Simon and I are expecting our first child together.

'I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we’re over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time. Yours always, Adele xx'
The Someone Like You singer has been dating the 36-year-old since last summer, and went public with the relationship in January.
Adele told People magazine recently that she 'really wants to be a mum', adding that it is her goal to have three sons by the time she is 30. 'I better start getting on with it!' she said

Shortly after her sweep of the Grammys back in February, the singer also told US Vogue magazine that she was 'f***ing off' for four or five years' to concentrate on her relationship. 

'If I am constantly working, my relationships fail,' she said at the time.'
'So at least now I can have enough time to write a happy record. And be in love and be happy.
'And then I don't know what I'll do. Get married. Have some kids. Plant a nice vegetable patch.'

It seems that her planned schedule has not exactly occurred in that order, as rumours were first sparked when Adele turned up to the Ivor Novello awards two months ago wearing a smock-stye dress that concealed her figure.

In February Adele purchased a £7 million mansion in Sussex for the couple to live in.
Adele, who underwent throat surgery to repair damage to her vocal chords in November, gushed about her man to Vogue, revealing: 'He's wonderful. And he's proud of me, but he don't care about what I do or what other people think. He looks after me. I don't think I would have gotten through the recovery for my surgery if it hadn't been for him.'

She also ticked off what makes her good in a relationship: 'I am attentive. I will do anything for my man. I am a good cook. I'm funny. Always want to have sex - Well, most girls don't!'

Whirlwind: The couple began dating last summer and their romance went public in JanuaryWhirlwind: The couple began dating last summer and their romance went public in January

Shortly after Simon and Adele's relationship became known, it was reported that the entrepreneur, and old Etonian, was still married.

Adele hit back at the claims, taking to her website to set the record straight. 'This is the first and last time I will comment on the details of my relationship with Simon,' she wrote in January.
'Contrary to reports and headlines in the press today, Simon is divorced and has been for 4 years.'

Something to hide? Adele sparked rumours when she turned up to the Ivor Novello Awards in May wearing a smock-style dress that concealed her figure

Adele previous dated part-time DJ Ned Biggs, who is believed to have been the source of some of her most heartbreaking hits.
Their relationship is thought to have lasted several months, several years ago.

Celebrity Guest For June: The Unique Matchmaker (Isreal & Becky)




Hello Friends!


I actually decided to feature our special guest for the month of June, out of curiosity and respect...Not everyone has the passion I sense anytime I am around this special woman. We actually do not have so many Matchmaking agencies in these parts of the world, as I feel it's a delicate business to be in because it involves not just two distinct individuals but their hearts and future together...

Join me to welcome Mrs Deborah Agboola Ikuomenisan, the Managing Director of Israel & Becky Matchmakers...

"My name is Mrs Deborah Agboola Ikuomenisan(a.k.a Debbie) Managing Director of Israel & Becky Matchmakers.

I was born about 40 years ago, to the family of Pastor and Mrs Michael Agboola from Ilesha in Osun State. I had my primary and secondary school education in Lagos and my higher education outside Lagos State. . I am a Christian and a member of The Redeemed Christian Church Of God.. I am happily married with kids to my loving husband Mr Oluseyi Kolade Ikuomenisan.



My passion and business is matchmaking which involves the linking together of men and women who are seriously looking for life partners.

Although I studied Secretarial Administration, my passion in bringing men and women together to find love, was kindled when I travelled to the UK some years ago. It was my first time of knowing that anything of the sorts ever existed when I walked into a Matchmaking agency with a friend...

Few years later as God would have it I was privileged to work with a famous matchmaking outfit in Nigeria for many years, during this period I was so happy doing the job and seeing people get married and having kids, even in my church spinsters and bachelors started approaching me for partners, before I knew it people started calling me 'The Matchmaker' including my loving husband.


I also engage in counselling too, when people come for counsel, God speaks through me, because I know is not me but God. I was so delighted when people come to me in tears and leave with joy, years later; I decided to leave the company to establish mine.

I want to use this opportunity to say a big 'THANK YOU' to God who has made it possible for me to put smiles on people's faces, and also my loving husband and the entire Agboola family.

People usually ask me how successful my business is: Yes, God has been so wonderful, the success rate is so encouraging, the last wedding we had was on April 14th, 2012. Many of our couples are happily married with children.

Presently, we have over 1000 registered members, both male and female including old and young, Christians and Moslems, singles, widows, widowers, divorcees etc.. Our oldest member is a 75 year old man and the youngest member, is a 22 year old young lady.

I know that this is not a common business, but people are out there, who needs our services especially the busy ones, like bankers and corporate executives.
As hard as this may sound, we also have people who are shy especially men, some find it difficult to approach ladies, but when they come to our office we step in and God perfects it.

How does it work? Yes it works out perfectly, because I collect peoples profile to work with, I don't just link people up, my office is like a supermarket, where we have different types of beverages, so we have different calibre of people to choose from.
I only hook up serious minded men and women, with good jobs and decent means of livelihood and a desire to settle down.

As at today, I can record over 120 marriages, that have taken place, and I have grandchildren all over the place, both home and abroad. Although it's a young company of just 3 years, God has been faithful.

My business is being sustained through the token registration fee paid by members.We pay rent, salaries, adverts and office administration just like every other business and we need to maintain what we believe in.

Our Charges and Requirement is not burdensome. The registration fee is N10,000.00 only, including your profile, blood group and genotype, your pictures and telling me your choice of spouse, either male or female. After registration, we link you up immediately.

In some cases, most people are shy or too busy to come, such people can register with us via blackberry or by telephone, by sending us their profile and telling us their choice of spouse and pay the required fee into our account, once this is done, they are linked up immediately.

Please note that once our first link up doesn't work out, we link you to another person, until you are satisfied. It is never limited to one person".

Lauryn Hill Pleads Guilty To Tax Evasion And Faces Major Jail Time

Lauryn Hill Tax

Hello Friends!

 
Lauryn Hill plead guilty to a huge federal crime today and now she could face three years in prison! Her poor kids!

Lauryn Hill went to court today and plead guilty to three counts of failing to file federal income tax returns between 2005-2007.

TMZ reports that Lauryn’s judge asked her if she “intentionally and willingly” failed to file her returns for 2005, 2006, and 2007 and she said “Yes.”

Lauryn earned over $1.8 million in those years.

The Fugees singer was released after paying $150,000 bail and her sentencing date was set for November. She is facing three years in prison and could get up to $75,000 in fines.

Lauryn has six children, the youngest of whom turns one in July. It would be so sad for her kids to live without her mom, but we’ll see what type of jail time Lauryn will be sentenced to come November.

Reasons They are Divorcing: Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes

Apart: Katie, seen here with Suri on June 26, did not join Tom, pictured right on June 8, as he promoted Rock of AgesApart: Katie, seen here with Suri on June 26, did not join Tom, pictured right on June 8, as he promoted Rock of Ages

Hello Friends!


Tom Cruise has taken the literal sense of 'getting it away from it all', by flying into the air.
The Hollywood veteran was seen taking flight from the set of his latest film Oblivion in Iceland.

Wearing a pair of aviator shades and giving little away in terms of expression, the Tropic Thunder actor was seen in the passenger seat of a private helicopter while flying out of Reykjavik airport.

The show must go on: Tom Cruise was spied on a helicopter, taking off from Reykjavik airport, following his divorce from Katie Holmes


The show must go on: Tom Cruise took off from Reykjavik airport, following his divorce from Katie Holmes.

It is unknown if Tom was being taken back to the production of the sci-fi movie or returning to New York in a bid to call off the divorce which his wife of five years, Katie Holmes, has filed this week.
Meanwhile, Katie has reportedly been planning the bombshell for weeks, with Radar reporting she 'secretly rented a Manhattan apartment to move into with Suri once the papers dropped'.
The couple sensationally revealed they are divorcing on Friday, despite depicting the image of the perfect Hollywood family.
Cruise, 49, said he was ‘deeply saddened’ that his younger wife, 33, had filed for a separation.
He revealed the former Dawson's Creek actress had initiated the split, bringing a dramatic end to one of Tinseltown's most high-profile romances.

In a surprise move, Miss Holmes is understood to have filed for sole custody of the couple's daughter Suri, six.

'This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family,' Holmes's lawyer Jonathan Wolfe said in a statement to People magazine.
'Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest.'
A spokesperson for Cruise said: 'Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children.'

The actress filed documents in New York this week citing 'irreconcilable differences'.

She has asked for legal custody, primary residential custody and a 'suitable amount' of child support from her husband, TMZ reports.
Miss Holmes is also asking for a division of property in the divorce documents, although there is a significant pre-nuptial agreement that is based on California law.

The couple are worth around $275 million - much of that owing to Tom's box office success.
The terms of the pre-nup are understood to be clear - for each year the couple stay married, the Dawson's Creek actress collects $3million - to a maximum of $33 million after 11 years - as well as their palatial home in California.

If their marriage had lasted more than 11 years, Holmes would have received half of Cruises’s reportedly $250 million fortune.
After filing for divorce less than six years later, according to the agreement, Katie should only be entitled to $15 million as well as the couple's $35 million Beverly Hills Mansion.

But with an estate worth upwards of $275 million, Katie is expected to seek much more and there is already intense speculation as to how much she will collect when the papers are signed.
Cruise is believed to have 'not seen' the divorce coming.
But sources insist that she did tell her husband of five-and-a-half years that she was filing for divorce – but she didn’t give him a chance to control the spread of the news, as he did with Nicole Kidman.


The fact that she issued a solo statement speaks of some heat around the final extinguishing of the marriage.
The pair have not been seen together in public for almost three months - they were last pictured on April 5 while in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Miss Holmes failed to turn up to at any of the worldwide premieres of her husband’s latest film Rock of Ages, despite Cruise’s constant protestations of love for his wife.
The final arguments seem to have been over where Cruise would spend his 50th birthday on Tuesday. He told her that he was planning to be on the set of his latest film Oblivion and that seems to have been the last straw.
The statuesque brunette had frequently been pictured looking drawn and exhausted during her marriage. One Hollywood source said she had been ‘utterly miserable with Tom for months, if not years’.


SURI IN THE MIDDLE
In the middle: Suri Cruise

A bitter custody battle is set to break out between Tom and Katie over their young daughter, Suri (pictured in New York last week).
The actress is seeking sole legal custody and primary residential custody of the six-year-old, and a 'suitable amount of child support'.

She even filed for divorce in New York - rather than California - because the East Coast state doesn't like giving feuding parents joint power to make decisions for their children, according to TMZ.
But sources say the actor may mount a fight to bring the case to California, which favors joint legal custody.

They have suggested that Tom's absence - he has been on a promotional tour and filming he's new movie - was started to take a toll on his young daughter's behaviour.
The estranged couple are raising Suri in accordance with the doctrine of the Church of Scientology - treating her as an adult, free to make her own decisions.
But there is now speculation Katie no longer wants her daughter to follow the controversial religion.

Indeed, the row over his birthday followed another bust-up over what Miss Holmes felt were embarrassingly bad taste pictures of him on the cover of W magazine last month.
He was dressed – or rather undressed – as the rock star Stacee Jaxx, the character he plays in Rock of Ages. Two half-dressed blondes were wrapped around him, one licking his face.
Miss Holmes, a nice girl from Ohio who is nevertheless very aware of why Cruise feels the need to play the macho card in public, was apparently ‘speechless’ with disgust and felt the pictures laid both of them open to ridicule.

The marriage has been in such poor shape that for the past year they have led almost entirely separate lives.
Miss Holmes has chosen to stay with Suri in Cruise’s New York apartment while he has travelled the world working.
The little girl has been her constant and only companion. They are often out together until late, and Miss Holmes – who gave up all the threads of her old life to become Mrs Tom Cruise – seems to have no other friends at all.

A shopping and sundries budget reputed to run at $125,000-a- month (£80,000) could only keep her amused for so long.
One Hollywood source said: ‘It was an open secret that she was utterly miserable with Tom, and had been for months if not years. They really couldn’t drag out the pretence any longer.’

Another source added: ‘Katie spent her time avoiding him, and they rowed terribly.’ When Cruise was filming Rock of Ages in Miami, Miss Holmes came along with Suri and they made a family holiday of it. But since then they have spent no more than a handful of nights under the same roof.
Miss Holmes, who used to have a poster of Cruise on her bedroom wall, found that being married to an intense, workaholic, and deeply religious megastar was no picnic.

Those close to her said that she felt he wasn’t putting any effort into her or the marriage.
Her once promising film career – she had been the love interest in Batman Begins – had been stifled. Roles evaporated. She ended up trying to find work as a fashion designer, endorsing the line Holmes and Yang.

The bigger picture is that this is the end of the third of Cruise’s marriages and a spectacular failure of his strategy to relaunch himself as a ‘regular guy’.
And if the union was supposed to cease gossip about Cruise and his personal life, in particular rumours of his homosexuality – always denied – it failed utterly.

The couple’s 2006 Italian wedding was choreographed like a massive movie premiere, with more bodyguards than guests and the ultimate goal seemingly the fantastically romantic images which were released to the media of the A list star and his pretty bride.
This came in the wake of the president of Paramount Sumner Redstone complaining that women found the actor ‘creepy.’

When the romance began – Katie had met Tom to discuss the possibility of appearing in Mission Impossible III – she was immediately sent on an intensive and lengthy study course about Scientology, the religion founded by sci-fi author L Ron Hubbard in 1954, which holds that humans are descended from an exiled race of aliens called Thetans.

She was ‘audited’ by Scientology counsellors, and unlike Penelope Cruz and Nicole Kidman before her, has totally embraced the movement.
Cruise proposed on June 17, 2005 on the top of the Eiffel Tower following a famously embarrassing declaration of his love on Oprah Winfrey’s show, where he jumped up on the couch yelling ‘I’m in love, I’m in love, I can’t be cool, I can’t be laid back.’

Despite earlier reports that there would be a Roman Catholic ceremony of some sort – Katie was born a Catholic – it was a Scientology wedding. What’s more it was conducted by David Miscavige, Tom Cruise’s best friend who is the head of the movement.

MARRIAGE: IMPOSSIBLE
Katie issued a solo statement announcing the couple's divorce, hinting at some heat around the final extinguishing of the marriage.

Holmes's attorney Jonathan Wolf said: 'This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family. Katie's primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter's best interest.'
Tom's spokesperson soon responded  and made it clear it was the actress who ended the relationship.
'Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children,' the statement read. 'Please allow them their privacy to work this out.'

Crazy in love: Tom, giddy over his budding relationship with Katie, famously jumped on Oprah Winfrey's couch in 2005

From the outset Miss Holmes struggled to ever settle in their Los Angeles mansion. Cass Mapother is a key figure here, Tom’s sister – and she and her three sons share the house with Tom and his two adopted children Connor, 17, and Isabella, 19. But Miss Holmes never felt that the massive mansion, stuffed with bodyguards, was her home. Everyone who came through the doors was a Scientologist.

His devotion to the religion meant that he was widely regarded as ‘weird’. Andrew Morton unauthorised biography repeated claims that Suri was thought by some to have been conceived using the frozen sperm of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. This suggestion infuriated Cruise, friends describing it as ‘sick, offensive and very upsetting’.
You wonder, though, if he will be all the more damaged still by what has happened to Katie Holmes.

Before they met she was a natural beauty, and her physical decline in the five and a half years that followed is almost shockingly obvious.
How will Tom – the sofa jumper who wants so desperately to be loved – ever get over this?

Pastor runs mad while praying for mad man in Ibadan

Click for Full Image Size

Hello Friends!



People living at Oke-Ado area of Ibadan, Oyo State, as well as shop owners and automobile dealers along Molete road in the town, on Thursday, watched a drama involving a pastor and a mad man.

The pastor, whose name is Timothy, according to an eyewitness, got to Ososami junctions of Oke-Ado around 5.20 p.m and went to meet the mentally-deranged man, popularly known as Tunde, who was sitting in front of a building in the area.

According to Semiu, a shop owner around the spot of the incident, the pastor began to read the Bible on sighting the mad man, while he moved closer to him and laid the hand on his head.

“At a point, there was a hot argument between the duo, which made the pastor to raise his voice as he was offering a deliverance prayer for Tunde, the mad man. The hot prayer lasted for over 15 minutes before another strange drama began,” Semiu told the Nigerian Tribune.

Speaking further, another witness, an okada rider, said at a point, the mad man removed the pastor’s hand from his head, adding that “suddenly, a strange spirit got hold of the pastor and he began to remove his cloth. He was naked and laid flat on the ground, speaking a strange language, with foam oozing out of his mouth.”

The mad man, it was gathered, initially left him in this position and sat at some distance away from the pastor, before the duo later sat closer to each other, while onlookers watched the strange drama.

The pastor remained in state of insanity until the Nigerian Tribune left the scene of the incident.

Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes Are Divorcing — It’s Official

Tom Cruise Divorce


Hello Friends!


One of Hollywood’s most iconic couples is calling it quits after 5 years of marriage. Find out all of the details behind their HUGE $275 million divorce!

Here’s a sentence we never thought we’d have to report: Tom Cruise, 49, and Katie Holmes, 33, are getting a divorce. ”This is a personal and private matter for Katie and her family,” Katie’s attorney Jonathan Wolfe tells People. “Katie’s primary concern remains, as it always has been, her daughter’s best interest.”

“Kate has filed for divorce and Tom is deeply saddened and is concentrating on his three children,” Tom’s rep tells HollywoodLife.com. “Please allow them their privacy to work this out.”

Tom and Katie were married in November 2006 in Italy, and welcomed daughter Suri, 6, into the world in April 2006.

A source close to the couple tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that Katie wants sole custody of Suri, because “she doesn’t want Tom polluting her with Scientology. She basically wants to protect her daughter and keep her away from all these freaks!”

TMZ reports that the couple has a prenup and is worth a combined $275 million. Katie not only reportedly wants full custody of Suri, but also wants a division of property. Tom was reportedly “blindsided” by her decision to file.

We’re surprised by this news, but we did find it suspicious that Tom flew solo to the Rock of Ages premiere June 8 in Hollywood. Katie has also been seen looking “tired” in NYC recently, no doubt a result of stress surrounding the split. While Katie was in New York with Suri, Tom has been in Iceland filming his new movie Oblivion.

DS Greschner said: 'Luckily the victim has not been seriously injured but is in shock because of this incident. She tried bravely to stop the assault herself and because of her condition the result of this attack could have been much worse.
'It is not clear what the motivation behind this attack was but clearly we need the public to help identify the man responsible.'
