An evangelical pastor arrested for raping his faithful, after convincing them that his penis contained sacred milk.










An Evangelical Pastor from Brazil, Sobrino Valdeci Picanto, has been reportedly arrested for raping his faithfuls, after convincing them to suck his penis saying that it contained "Sacred milk".


The controversial pastor who persuaded his followers to practice MouthAction because it was the way he preached the word, says that his milk was sacred, his penis was blessed and that "the Lord had consecrated it with divine milk of the Holy Spirit."


"He convinced us that only God could come into our lives through the mouth. Often, after worship, Pastor Valdeci asked us to do MouthAction on him until the Holy Spirit came through ejaculation and delivered funds to the church," a follower said.

59-year old Sobrino Valdeci Picanto, was arrested in Apore, Goiás, Brazil, for raping several women attending his church. He abused some elderly ones, and defends himself by saying that "he had an encounter with Jesus in a brothel and gave him the mission of spreading the sacred semen throughout the state, beginning with the faithful Apore Assembly, of which he is responsible."


A Police delegate of the region, Denise Pinheiro, said; "Valdecir was caught red-handed while rubbing his penis in the face of a local merchant, which promised to make more sales in her business due to the divine liquid. When we acted, Valdecir offered no resistance and even asked if I wanted to be part of the kingdom of heaven on the way to the police station."



The pastor is already in jail where he said when they arrested him, that he intends to continue watering his cellmates with his sacred milk.

Wow!!! How much does this baby go for

Genevieve Blau and her pink Jansport backpack might just be the happiest couple on Instagram today.

After their "relationship" won the hearts of the internet, Blau and her backpack were offered an all-expenses-paid trip by Jansport.

Earlier this month, Blau began dating her Jansport backpack and documenting their relationship via Instagram using the hashtag #JansportDate. Her pictures show the pair enjoying all sorts of traditional couple activities, including a candlelit dinner, a happy hour, and even a double date with another human-backpack couple.



Since she began the #JansportDate project, Blau has gained about a thousand new Instagram followers. Each photo of Blau and her pink paramour garners about 200 likes or more. Her story has been picked up by The Daily Dot, Mashable, Cosmopolitan and other news outlets.

But Blau, a comedian by trade, isn't taking this experience too seriously.

"My humor tends to skew more towards the absurd," she told Business Insider. "I have a piece about a motivational speaker for dogs, and I recently put up a sketch about a girl who grew up in a windowless basement. When you consider that I am dating my backpack, it reads."



Blau has gained a newfound independence through the project.

"I hope that by dating my backpack on the internet, people are inspired to take themselves out and really take the time to enjoy their own company," she said.



Blau explained that the couple's destination is a secret for now, but she's incredibly excited. She did give one hint, though: the duo will be heading overseas.



This isn't the first time viral content has led to a sponsored vacation.

Earlier this spring, Kevin Blandford won a free trip to Puerto Rico, but unfortunately his wife and infant daughter couldn't come along. Instead of staying home, Blandford went to Puerto Rico and documented his trip on Imgur with photos where he looked absolutely miserable.

His hotel and and a local advertising agency saw the pictures and decided to give Blandford a "do-over." This time, Kevin got to enjoy paradise with his family by his side.

ajahexcel: PERMIT ME TO POST THIS ON NIGERIAN UNIVERSITY SCHOLARSHIP WEBSITE
http://www..com

GRANTED

Though, this issue had been extensively addressed by several contributors’ on this forum but I still wish to lend my voice on this topic, as it concerns the students’ and Teachers’/lecturers’ on one hand and the role played by parents on the other hand.

In our dear country, Nigeria, we have all chewed and swallowed, it is now time for cogitation. The fraud going on in our education sector is beyond the secondary schools, it is so encompassing that it requires a holistic diagnosis in order to ascertain the required dosage of “Zymapp” or “Nano Silva” to apply, because it has almost become an incurable virus that necessitates urgent attention.
Most of us are aware or had in one way or the other participated in raping our educational system. It is obvious that our education is based on fraud and pervasive corruption that has enveloped the entire system and had since thrown the entire country into turmoil. It is common knowledge that so many people that have no business with Tertiary institutions’ are admitted and graduated on a daily basis. The factors that have led to this, includes but not limited to the following:

Compromise of integrity by Teachers/lecturers: Most teachers/ lecturers’ in our tertiary institutions had thrown the ethics of integrity to the wind. Most of them collect money, award fictitious marks and some others, award marks out of mere kindness or “Paddy-Paddy” and in their opinion; it does not matter. The danger this portends at the long run, is that, these graduate impersonators’ will definitely take up different career paths on graduation, which will include mentorship, teaching, policing etc. Surest jobs amongst all, being teaching and policing (Policing here, includes both military and paramilitary), you want to imagine what this impostors’ will impact on their students’ (who could equally be children of their former Lecturers’ – “Vicious Circle”) or the type of “law-less” enforcement officers they become. In all spheres of our national life, we should make sure that mediocrity does not have a place.

Again, our value system is an issue that should urgently be addressed. A situation where most employers of labour prefer certificate to knowledge becomes an issue of concern. Though certificate is one of the major yardsticks to measure competence, it should not be exclusively relied upon. We have seen circumstances where Headmasters and Headmistress could not read and write in English Language and yet, there are carrying certificate(s) signed, sealed and stamped by NUC or NBTE accredited tertiary institution(s); what a shame! What measures has these institutions’ taken to redeem their battered image? Award more certificates; I guess. My candid opinion is that, certificates should be recalled as soon it becomes worthless or tainted, instead of continuing to embarrass the institution that issued it.

In addition, the influence of parents and guidance cannot be over emphasized; there are instances where parents and guidance aid their child or children with petite issue as common entrance examination in primary schools. In some circumstances, they write the examination for their children, supply extraneous materials or even influence their teachers and/or invigilators to assist their wards with answers. In some other clime, parents will never allow a child that failed to repeat the same class (especially in private schools). In tertiary institutions also, we have seen situations where parents include money for “sorting” as part of allowances for their children up-keep in school, this problem becomes complicated where the parents are illiterates’ (“Sorting” becomes a course, the name of a text book or compulsory practical).

Finally, one wonders the relationship that exist between most Postgraduate students’ and their lecturers’/supervisors, is it that of family ties? Or being your brother’s keeper? Sometime ago, I visited a friend who resides in housing quarters of a Federal University (name withheld) and I saw some matured men and women turning “amala”, they were so many that I was constrained to inquire what the issue was and I was told that one of their lecturer/supervisor’s wife just turned Fifty (50)-----EHEE! In as much as there is nothing wrong with assisting your lecturer/supervisor, one will be forced to ask, if this is how it is done in western world or are we saying objectivity will not be compromised by this? I was further told that, this is just one of the chores for postgraduate students that want to succeed. They also carry out other assignments such as “school run”, shopping, washing/cleaning of cars, staying with mechanics during car
repairs, pruning flowers, serving as ushers during ceremony etc. You will be very sure that at the end of the programme, a CERTIFICATE will be awarded (may be, Ph.D. in “AMALA”).
I have to submit here, that we all owe our dear country a duty of honesty, integrity, probity, loyalty, diligence and above all the ability to speak out when things are going wrong. We can’t afford to keep standing aloof when things a going wrong. Thank God we have something to cheer about, lately, (The Ebola trial drug) Nano Silva, claimed to have been produced by Nigerians. It is hard truth, that whatever goes around, also comes around and whatever we sow, we shall surely reap.

I will need all your help. I dont mind any flight nor any number/hours of stopover. Am on a tight budget, just any flight that will take me from Lagos to Heathrow in one piece.

Any suggestions?

Got the below very early this morning. Since then my people no gree me rest.

URGENT PLS. INFORMATION IS GOING ROUND FROM TRUSTED SOURCES THAT EVERY ONE IS TO POUR SALT IN WARM WATER AND USE IT TO BATH BEFORE DAY BREAK THIS MORNING AS EBOLA VACCINE. I don't even know the origin but every call I'm receiving now points to that. Since salty water is not harmful to skin I think it's just better we do it.
Pls JUMP UP NOW and bath with salty water and share this post (also call those you can reach)

Ebola Virus Prevention With Hot Water And Salt How True

The Ebola outbreak in Guinea and its spread to other areas of West Africa, including Nigeria has caused global alarm. According to the Centre for Disease Control, since the detection of Ebola in March, the number of suspected and confirmed cases attributed to Ebola in the West African countries, such as Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Nigeria stands at 1,711.

Meanwhile, a Saudi man tested for the disease has died in Jeddah after returning from Sierra Leone on Sunday. If there were a linkage of the Saudi man’s death to the Ebola virus, it would be the first fatality outside the West African countries.

As one of the world’s most infectious and deadly diseases, with no cure, the level of fear, surrounding Ebola is to an extent expected. However, much of the fear is rooted in misunderstandings. Dispelling this is perhaps the biggest challenge in tackling Ebola and is critical to furthering our knowledge about the disease and efforts to control it.

Here is the myth versus the truth about some of the most common misconceptions about Ebola virus:

Myth: Ebola virus is airborne, waterborne or spreads through casual contact.

Truth: Ebola virus spreads when the bodily fluids of an infected person meet the mucous membranes of a non-infected person. That means Ebola virus in fluids, such as saliva, blood, sweat or urine has to be exposed to your eyes, mouth, nostrils, ears, genital area or an open wound in order to infect you.

In other words, it takes a lot of contact, not just casual contact, to become infected with the virus. This is the reason why many of the victims of the disease in West Africa are health care workers or family members caring for a sick relative. For example, the Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, during a news conference in Abuja, revealed that a nurse, who was one of the medical personnel that attended to the late Liberian-American, Patrick Sawyer, died of the disease. He also confirmed that five other medical practitioners, who participated in the treatment of Sawyer, were infected with the virus.

Myth: This is the first major outbreak of Ebola.

Truth: This is the largest outbreak of Ebola in history, but it is not the first. The virus was first diagnosed in humans in 1976 in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where it infected 318 people and had an 88 per cent fatality rate. Since then, various strains of the disease have popped up around the African continent, infecting as many as 425 people in 2000, and most recently, 57 people in 2012, according to World Health Organisation, as of August 4, 2014, the most recent count available, Ebola virus in Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Nigeria since the virus emerged again this year.



Myth: Ebola can be treated with antibiotics, chewing large quantity of bitter kola, onions, or drinking condensed milk.

Truth: Antibiotics cure bacterial infections, not viral infections. At present, there is neither a cure nor a vaccine for the Ebola virus. Instead, there is an experimental serum called ZMapp, which contains antibodies designed to help block the virus. Before the 2014 Ebola outbreak, it was only tested on monkeys and has not been approved for human use.

Myth: Ebola liquefies your organs, which causes bleeding from the orifices.

Truth:Ebola symptoms can include bleeding from the eyes, ears, nose and mouth. However, the body’s organs are not liquefied. Once the Ebola virus makes its way into the body, it gets in the body’s cells and replicates itself. Then it produces a protein that is called ebolavirus glycoprotein, and attaches to the cells on the inside of the blood vessels. This increases permeability of the blood vessels, leading to blood “leaking out” of the vessels. Even people who do not show hemorrhagic symptoms will experience this leaking of blood from the vessels. The continuous loss of blood will eventually lead to shock and ultimately death.

To reduce the risk of human-to-human transmission in the community, close contact with infected patients, particularly with their bodily fluids need to be avoided. Also, do not touch sick people who show symptoms of Ebola, such as fever, diarrhoea, vomiting, headaches and sometimes heavy bleeding.

Gloves and appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn when taking care of ill patients at home. Regular hand washing is required after visiting patients in hospital, as well as after taking care of patients at home.

Do not touch the dead bodies of suspected or confirmed Ebola patients. Wash your hands with water and soap regularly.

Make use of hand sanitisers after coming in contact with objects for use in public places

Communities with any suspected case of Ebola should inform the relevant authorities.

There should be prompt and safe burial of people who have died of Ebola.

In conclusion, reducing the risk of wildlife-to-human transmission from contact with infected fruit bats, monkeys, apes, can be achieved by thorough cooking of animal products, such as blood and meat, to proper heat and sterilising procedures. At this time, the consumption of raw meat should be discouraged. Animals should be handled with gloves and other appropriate protective clothing.

Have a blessed weekend.

FutureDon:
If you are going on a student visa for a program with a duration of 12months and above, YOU DO NOT NEED A RETURN TICKET. I was fed the same bs during my time.

thanks future don, my program duration is 11months.
With your explanation. I fully understand how it works now.

3sha4lyf:
If going with arikair, get a return ticket or don't bother.
Other airlines may overlook it but sometimes first timers or ppl r usually asked for their return tickets at the point of entry and if you cannot produce it, den u'll return to Naija free of charge immediately, if u see what I mean.
Just for curiosity sake, pls why would u wanna buy a one-way ticket when it's as expensive as, if not more than, buying a return ticket?
You can just get a return ticket for return in, say, 1 year time so that by the next year, of u wanna travel, u use it or if you'll rather change the date to a later date, you pay change-of-date fee and use it.

thanks alot.now i get it.

I just got my visa and am planning to come into Uk on Monday.Somebody mentioned to me that i have to get a return ticket. How thru is this as my plan is to get a one way ticket.

They were 35 pick up trucks in all – 35. The vehicles had no number plates; therefore, there was no way on earth you could identify the owners in the event of a road mishap – even for the good of the occupants.

In each of the trucks were at least eight fierce-looking, heavily armed men. They brandished what someone called General Purpose Machine Guns (GPMGs). Some of them wore masks – what that could also mean is that if one of them did anything untoward, no one would identify him.

And the men were dressed in black – black T-shirt, black trousers, some in black masks; a few wearing face-caps. The only form of commonality is that there was ‘DSS’ inscribed on the back of their T-shirts. This could be a very good move; good if the men were heading to Sambisa Forest to rescue the abducted girls of Chibok. But no! They were not in the North-East, nor were they in Borno State, Maiduguri or even Chibok.

They were in Oshogbo, the Osun State capital, on Wednesday, July 30, 2014. Worse, still the men in black shot in the air that Wednesday! Whatever that was intended to achieve was not immediately understood. Some issues need clearing here. Why would officers of the state who are not in a war zone be in masks? Why would officers of the state who are paid by tax payers drive in unmarked cars? Why would officers of the state shoot indiscriminately into the air like drunk Hamas or Hezbollah fighters? Why? Why?? Why

The danger that is gradually creeping into the polity is yet unknown. This is not about the All Progressive Congress, APC, or about the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
It is about decorum, national security and good sense. Because Nigeria is a sophisticated nation where criminals easily ape security operatives, let us bring the danger home.

Imagine you are driving late in the evening on Benin/Ore Road, or Ilesha/Akure Road, or Enugu/Awka Road or Kaduna/Abuja Road.

Then imagine you see a group of men, 10 in number, wearing black T-shirts, with the DSS inscription on them, gun-wielding, and stopping vehicles at will for a supposedly stop-and-search operations. With the excuse of keeping national security, who would dare challenge this group of 10 men? Who would dare ask them for their ID cards?

Who would dare want to know the purpose of their action? To complicate matters, if these men were armed robbers, how would anyone know?
Even if officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force, NPF, were driving along the same road, their warped form of comradeship or camaraderie would just be a hollering sound of ‘ALL CORRECT SIR’, or ‘OFFICERS ON DUTY’, or some other such slogans. Still imagine some Boko Haram members dressed in black T-shirt and wielding guns in a convoy invading any of

the presumably safe states of South-East, South-South and South-West and unleashing terror. How would the DSS be absolved? Add the angle of the masks! So, who do we arrest? Who would carry out the arrests? Just imagine men in black with the DSS inscription attempting to arrest another group of men in black with the same DSS inscription!

Why is this inquisition necessary? This call to attention is necessary because the job of national security requires decorum and good sense. Granted, the Department of State Services, DSS, needs the support of all Nigerians to succeed in keeping everyone safe. Granted, there should be no interference in the activities of the men of the DSS.

Yes, granted, Nigerians should support and be seen to be supporting all security measures being put in place for their safety. However, when the selfsame Nigerians meant to be protected become victims of psychological terror by the institution they fund, there is need for introspection.

The stories are well known of how members of the Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, which in English translates to, “People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet’s Teachings and Jihad”, and otherwise known as Boko Haram, invade villages and towns wearing military uniforms, driving in a convoy of 10, 12 or 15 Hilux pick up trucks; and, thereafter, disappearing into Sambisa Forest.

Now, if 35 pick up trucks can be sighted in Oshogbo, why can’t the same number of trucks with the mean men be deployed to Sambisa Forest?
That is a question for the DSS to answer. Perhaps his attention has not been drawn to it, so by this very piece he is being informed.

Ekpeyong Ita, the Director General of the DSS, is known to be a man of peace. He is credited with reforming and transforming the department. A knack operative in his days, Ita has done more good to the DSS than most of his predecessors. Unassuming, always wearing a calm look, it is time for this gentleman operative to ensure that his department and all he has worked for all these years are not made a mockery of on account of the actions of some overzealous men in black.

God forbid that day. But it is already happening in Borno State, where some men wear military uniforms and kill innocent Nigerians. The DSS should not open itself to the collateral damage of Nigerians seeing it as an Enemy of the State because of the conduct of a few, very few, unscrupulous elements.

For President Goodluck Jonathn and his PDP, there is nothing in the camp of the APC that can shake his return next year as President and Commander-in-Chief. Yes, the APC may still poke fun with its episodic flashes of relevance in the polity. But with its refusal to wash itself clean of a possible Muslim/Muslim presidential ticket till date, it would require something of cataclysmic error on the part of Mr. President to lose that election.

Therefore, allowing some officers of state to overheat another part of the country, is unnecessary.
Osun State, which holds a governorship election on Saturday, is not Sambisa Forest, where this show of force is needed. Let the person the electorate want win in an atmosphere free of the excesses of some servants of the tax payers dressed in black.
