Crime / Pastor To Barack Obama & George Bush Jailed 6 Years For Fraud by AccurateGist: 12:08pm On Jan 19, 2021
67 years old Kirbyjon H. Caldwell, a Pastor with a mega church in Texas, who is also former spiritual adviser to former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush has been sentenced to six years in prison at Shreveport, Louisiana for defrauding investors of millions of dollars.


Based on what was said by federal prosecutors, Caldwell and his co-defendant Gregory A. Smith, a Shreveport-based investment adviser, used their influence to coax people to invest about $3.5 million in historical Chinese bonds. Bonds which China’s current government do not recognize and have no investment value.


Caldwell, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud in March last year, was the senior pastor of Houston’s Windsor Village United Methodist Church, which has about 14,000 members.



Acting U.S. Attorney Alexander Van Hook stated that Pastor Caldwell “used his status as the pastor of a mega-church to help convince the many victim investors that they were making a legitimate investment.
Instead he took their hard-earned money from them and used it for his own personal gain,”


The Justice Department stated that Caldwell used about $900,000 dollars he received from the scheme to maintain his lifestyle and pay down credit cards and mortgages.

Beautiful South African young woman by the twitter handle @Nkhosila who looks critically ill expressed her feelings on social media about her condition. In her tweet, she stated that she had tried everything within her power but things aren’t going well on her side.


“I’ve tried all I could but I’m getting worse day by day. It’s the smile that keeps me moving”


The condition has consumed her heart, up to the point that she has accepted the situation. And now, deep down she knows that she has no control over it.


She most of the time fails to look herself in the mirror because of her present illness. Knowing that she lives with protruding bones she still manages to keep those smiles on her face.


Social media users have reacted with bitter emotions as well as pen down their heartfelt messages after coming across her pictures on twitter.


But her current situation has made everyone come back again to that consciousness that darkness breaks. And that no matter how dark life may be seem, there will be light at the end of the tunnel.


Just like Nkhosila, use your smile to change the world. Never let the world change your smile.

Sports / Solskjaer Fires Back At Klopp For His Penalty Claim Against Man United by AccurateGist: 3:52pm On Jan 06, 2021
Following statements made by Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp, that
Manchester United are partially favoured by the referees as far as granting spot kicks is concerned, Manchester United boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, has reacted to such comment as he says such statement might be to influence referees’ judgments.


Klopp after his side were defeated 1-0 to Southampton in the Premier League two days ago was left with great anger as he complained that his side’s awful experience of not being conferred any penalty kick despite having two fouls that could have led to spot kicks committed by the hosts.


After the match, Klopp in his post match press conference said he couldn’t comprehend how Premier League opponents Manchester United could have had more penalties in their favorr within the last two years than what Liverpool have had since he took over.


Statistics show that Liverpool have been given 30 penalties since October 2015 while Manchester United on the other hand have won themselves 32 penalties since the start of 2018/2019 season.


The Man United’s boss in his reply to Klopp’s staement said the Liverpool manager might be bringing up this claim to manipulate referees’ future rulings as he cited what ensued when Lampard made a synonymous claim last season.


The Norwegian said Man United had a clear penalty that was supposed to be awarded to them when they faced Chelsea in the FA cup semi finals last season but was not, indicating that Lampard’s claim before the match had clambered anxiety on the referee.


Solskjaer explained that this might be the motive other managers are trying to capitalize on but he nonetheless noted that he wasn’t concerned. He added that when a player is fouled in the box, it is the rule of football that a spot kick should be awarded.


In reaction, the United boss who will be locking horn later tonight with Manchester City in the Carabao cup in what is to be a derby match, said he would not spend his time calculating penalties that have been awarded for or against them.
