South African Man claims he has been to heaven four times, draws map

Man Says He's Been to Heaven Four Times, Draws Map: KwaZulu-Natal from South African tells it in all seriousness. And who knows, he may even be telling the truth about having visited heaven four times, so far. The first time was in 1998, and subsequent visits were made in 2004, 2006 and 2008. It all started in 1993, when a white man (an angel, apparently) paid him a visit and told him he was needed in heaven. And now, after several visits, he's drawing a map to make sure the rest of us 'unlucky' ones get what he's talking about. But it's not the fact that he took a few vacations to heaven or even that he's drawing a map that amuses me. It's more to do with the stuff he says he's seen and done there. According to Mthembu, there are 11 heavens in all, and he was taken to the fifth one, Crista, first. It was there, in a city called Sharmoy, that he claims to have met Jesus. The main heaven is Salem, he says, where

Stop threatening Tonto Dikeh on Marijuana Smoking - HURIWA tells NDLEA

Human Rights Writers Association Of Nigeria (HURIWA) has come to the defence of Miss Tonto Dike following NDLEA's threat of arresting the movie star In a media statement issued by the National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko and National media Director, Miss Zainab Yussuf, they said NDLEA is chasing shadows by threatening to arrest a Nigerian citizen whose alleged 'marijuana photograph' does not constitute hard core judicial evidence but rather a social media contraption that may never stand credibility test in the competent court of law. The group urged the anti drug agency to not waste its time on baseless pursuit and shine their light on the high profile drug barons in the country. HURIWA asked NDLEA to also concentrate on how to repair its public image damaged by the costly mistake it made during the arrest, detention and investigation of the popular Yoruba comedian Baba Suwe (the popular expensive faecis/excreta gamble by

US President Barrack Obama pledges $7 Billion Electricity support for Nigeria

(CNN) -- U.S. President Barack Obama pledged $7 billion Sunday to help combat frequent power blackouts in sub- Saharan Africa. Funds from the initiative, dubbed Power Africa, will be distributed over the next five years. Obama made the announcement during his trip to South Africa, the continent's biggest economy. "Access to electricity is fundamental to opportunity in this age. It's the light that children study by, the energy that allows an idea to be transformed into a real business. It's the lifeline for families to meet their most basic needs, and it's the connection that's needed to plug Africa into the grid of the global economy," he said. Two-thirds of the population of sub- Saharan Africa lacks access to electricity, including more than 85% of those living in rural areas, the White House said. "A light where currently there is darkness -- the energy to lift people out of poverty -- that's what opportun

But it might just be true, as Don Jazzy, once dated the actress and admitted it sometime back. @LastßornNews(07060428346)
