Posters and billboards of Churches these days often show a man and his wife whom are referred to as Pastor Mr & Mrs. In a video going viral online, the Kenyan professor stated that such set up is only done to profit from the tithe paid by members of the Church.

Speaking further, Lumumba stated that though he supports tithing which he pays at a Church not solely run by a single man, he however doesn’t support the system in most churches today. According to him, all the money goes into private jets and the running of the life of an individual who is not questioned.

Facebook held its annual F8 developer conference in San Jose, California, on Tuesday and Wednesday as the company shared updates on its family of apps: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg kicked off his keynote with a privacy-focused speech. "Privacy gives us the freedom to be ourselves ... so it's no surprise that's the fastest way we're communicating online is small groups," Zuckerberg said. "That's why I believe the future is private." Following the comments, the CEO said, jokingly, "I get that a lot of people aren't sure that we're serious about this. I know that we don't have the strongest reputation on privacy right now."

Zuckerberg outlined Facebook's push to create a "private social platform" across all of its apps, including WhatsApp, Messenger, Instagram, and Facebook.

As they introduced new features, Facebook’s product executives said the word “privacy” over and over. But with its dating and shopping features, the company opened up potential new avenues to learn about who we are.


Instagram has a new Create Mode.


Facebook

The camera in Instagram Stories is getting an overhaul, making it easier to find and use some of the extra quirky features, which have been sort of hard to figure out for lots of users.

Create Mode will let you create an image for Stories that isn’t a photo or video – something users have been doing ad-hoc for a while by blacking out images or posting big blogs of text. Now, it’ll be easy to just post a solid color background with text or GIFs over it.

Instagram is hiding like counts from followers in a test to see if you'll feel less horrible.


Facebook

Instagram will test hiding the like count from photos and view count from videos in an effort to get users to pay attention to the content itself and not their associated engagement metrics, the Facebook-owned app announced Tuesday at F8, Facebook’s annual developers conference.

In the test, followers won’t see a photo's total likes or a video's view counts in their Instagram feeds or when visiting a user’s profile. The account owner will still be able to access their own metrics and see the total likes or views for a specific post, although they will need to tap through a post to view those metrics. Instagram said that the “private likes” test would begin later this week for users in Canada.



Facebook is making it easier for you to date your friends too.


A new feature called "Secret Crush" allows users of Facebook Dating to pick nine of their friends that they have a crush on. If any of those friends also picked you, you’ll get notified. If your love is unrequited, the other person will never know. While it’s possible that this could help people who are too shy to make a move fall in love, it’s also possible this is…a creepy and terrible idea that no one wants debuting at a time when Facebook is widely viewed as particularly creepy.

A school teacher has found himself in trouble with the law after he allegedly injured a student's eye while flogging him.

For Daniel Agboola, a Senior Secondary School Two pupil of Camp David Academy, Ogba, Lagos State, Friday, March 29 is a date etched in his memory for life. It was the day his teacher, Mr. Oludare Olaleye, damaged his right eye in the process of caning him.

The day had begun like any other as Daniel and his classmates prepared to sit an examination in the school’s hall. Olaleye, the supervisor for the exam, told the pupils to move out of the hall because the questions for the examination were not ready.

“As we moved out, he stood by the narrow door. As the last pupil to leave the hall, I had barely stepped out when he (Olaleye) called me back, saying that I hit him while I was rushing out of the hall,” Daniel recalled.

Convinced that he did not hit Olaleye, Daniel said he politely told him so, but that became his undoing.

“He did not allow me to say any other thing. He took his cane and started beating me,” he said.

Daniel recalled that as Olaleye continued to flog him, the cane landed on one his right eye and he collapsed.

He said: “I became weak. It was like I was dead. I could not say anything andstarted beating me,” he said.

Daniel recalled that as Olaleye continued to flog him, the cane landed on one his right eye and he collapsed.

He said: “I became weak. It was like I was dead. I could not say anything and did not remember anything. My head was empty. But he probably thought I was pretending, so he beat me the more, asking me to get up. I mustered the last energy in me to get up and I moved out of the hall while he shared the exam papers to my other classmates.

“It was when my classmates shouted that blood was coming out of my eyes that I went to the school’s accountant office to explain everything to her.

“The school sent for a doctor who happened to be one of the school’s parents. She said that nothing was wrong with the eye. Because the eye was swollen, she put ice block on it and said we should seek the advice of an eye specialist.

“The school accountant and I went to the nearby Blue Cross Hospital in Ogba, but we were told that no eye doctor was available and we were referred elsewhere opposite the hospital. On getting there, they too did not have an eye doctor around, so we were referred to another place in the same complex.

“The doctor, after testing the eye, said there was nothing wrong with it. He said it was a minor issue and recommended some eye drops we should buy. The doctor also referred us to Vision Plus, an eye hospital in Ikeja, to check the eye pressure.

“All the while we were moving around, blood was still coming out of my eye. It was swollen, the pain was much and I was not seeing anything with it. I covered the eye from the sun as we headed back to school.

“The accountant and Mr Olaleye later took me to Vision Plus where the eye pressure was checked and we were told to come back for the result the following Monday.

“We went back to the school and I later went home with the eye drops we had bought earlier. I was using the eye drops until the person who was applying them for me discovered that two of them had expired since October last year.”

Daniel added: “On Saturday (the day after the incident), the school took me to Eye Foundation where the eye was tested. The eye surgeon was not around and I was given some other eye drops and tablets.

“They said there was nothing wrong with the eye but that the blood could not flow. So they told us to come back the following Thursday.

“When we got there on Thursday for another round of tests, they still said that nothing was wrong with the eyes.

“It was when we went back there on Friday that we met the eye surgeon who after scan and tests said the eye has traumatic cataract and would need operation.

“He prescribed another eye drop for me because the eye pressure had not gone down. He said the normal eye pressure should be 16 but mine was 32.

“He said the operation could not be done immediately because the pressure of the eye must return to normal first.

“He said the operation would cost N1 million, but the school said the money was too much and that we should try other hospitals.

“The school also took me to Aricillia Catholic Hospital where they said the lens of my eye, which was supposed to be white, was covered with blood, hence other eye drops were prescribed for me.

Manchester City exacted some measure of revenge on Tottenham for their Champions League exit as Phil Foden's first Premier League goal earned a 1-0 win to move them back top of the table on Saturday.

Pep Guardiola's men edge one point ahead of Liverpool once more with four games of a titanic title race left for both sides. Manchester City may have to cope without Kevin de Bruyne in their chase for the Premier League title after the Belgian limped off in the first-half of his side's clash with Tottenham on Saturday.

De Bruyne was outstanding as City beat Spurs 4-3 in the Champions League on Wednesday with a hat-trick of assists, although the English champions still bowed out on away goals.

However, City's player of the year last season has been beset by injury problems all campaign.

Twice De Bruyne has come back from lengthy spells on the sidelins with knee ligament injuries suffered in August and November.

City still have five more games to come this season, four in the league plus the FA Cup final against Watford.

Should Pep Guardiola's men win all five, they will claim an unprecedented domestic treble in English football.
