Crime / Shepherd Bushiri - South Africa Issue Arrest Warrant Of Fugitive Cleric - Major1 by Jerryjasper(m): 4:09pm On Nov 16, 2020 |
Shepherd Bushiri: South Africa issues arrest warrant for fugitive preacher Published1 hour ago Shepherd Bushiri at his bail hearing in Pretoria, South Africa, on 4 November. IMAGE COPYRIGHTGETTY IMAGES image captionPreacher Shepherd Bushiri skipped bail in South Africa and turned up in Malawi South Africa has issued an arrest warrant for controversial millionaire pastor Shepard Bushiri, who skipped bail and returned home to Malawi. On Saturday he told his social media followers that he had left South Africa because he had received death threats. The preacher, who was on bail and awaiting trial for money laundering and fraud, had previously said he wanted to clear his name. It is not clear how or when Mr Bushiri left South Africa. Africa Live: Updates on this and other stories In an interview with the BBC, Mr Bushiri refused to reveal how he escaped. But the BBC's Nomsa Maseko in Malawi's capital, Lilongwe, reports that one possibility being considered is that he and his wife Mary were smuggled out by a sophisticated syndicate which specialises in taking stolen cars from South Africa to Malawi. There have also been suggestions in the South African press that he was smuggled out in Malawi's presidential jet - something which has been denied by the authorities in both countries. How has Shepherd Bushiri caused a diplomatic row? Malawi's President Lazarus Chakwera was in South Africa on a state visit last week, and there has been speculation in South Africa that a member of his entourage had aided Mr Bushiri's escape. This has been denied by officials in both Malawi and South Africa, but a diplomatic row is brewing. Malawi's foreign minister told the BBC that he thought the South African authorities suspected the Malawians were trying to smuggle out the controversial preacher. "When we were coming to Malawi leaving South Africa, we were exposed to stringent checks. It is just now that we are beginning to realise that maybe there was a suspicion that we were trying to smuggle Bushiri out of South Africa," Malawi's foreign minister Eisenhower Mkaka told the BBC's Nomsa Maseko on Saturday. On Monday morning he then complained, very publicly, on Twitter about the seven-hour delay to the president's journey, which included "vague security reasons" for thorough checks of the presidential plane.

But he described South Africa's treatment of President Chakwera as "improper". Who is Shepherd Bushiri? Mr Bushiri has been described as one of the richest religious leaders in Africa. He claims to have cured people of HIV, made the blind see, changed the fortunes of the impoverished and, on at least one occasion, appeared to walk on air, although none of these claims have been scientifically proven. media caption'I don’t think there is any sickness I can heal, but Jesus Christ can heal' He grew up in Mzuzu, a city in northern Malawi and moved to Pretoria in South Africa where he leads his church - the Enlightened Christian Gathering. He is so popular that he has been known to fill sports stadiums with followers. But he has also been accused of preying on poor people, desperate to improve their lives, by selling merchandise including "miracle oil". The authorities in Botswana shut down his church after it claimed that money could be summoned out of nothing, which contravened financial regulations. Meeting the man who says he can walk on air What is he accused of? Mr Bushiri is accused of money laundering and fraud, along with his wife and two others. Crime investigators say the case involves 102 million South Africa rand ($6.6m; £5m). Might he lose his house in South Africa? Mr Bushiri appeared at Pretoria's Magistrates Court on 21 October to hear the charges and was granted bail on 4 November. He skipped bail sometime last week, something he described on Saturday as "a tactical withdrawal meant to preserve lives". The South African government said on Sunday that it had initiated the extradition process for Malawi to hand him over. The South African police then issued the warrant for his arrest on Monday and said that if he doesn't present himself to court before 19 November he will forfeit his residence. The trial is scheduled for May. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i0AYaRcfbU click on link to access my content

Politics / #usdecides2020 Us Election Security Officials Reject Trump's Fraud Claims by Jerryjasper(m): 10:01am On Nov 13, 2020 |
US election security officials reject Trump's fraud claims Published2 minutes ago Related Topics US election 2020 A Biden supporter counter-protests at a pro-Trump "stop the steal" rally in Wisconsin IMAGE COPYRIGHTREUTERS image captionSupporters of both candidates are still out on the streets 10 days after the election US federal election officials have said the 2020 White House vote was the "most secure in American history", rejecting President Donald Trump's fraud claims. "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised," a committee announced. They spoke out after Mr Trump claimed without proof that 2.7 million votes for him had been "deleted". He has yet to concede to the president-elect, Democrat Joe Biden. The result of the 3 November election was projected by all the major US TV networks last weekend. The BBC now projects that Mr Biden has won Arizona, extending his lead by 11 electoral college votes - he now has 290, with Mr Trump on 217. It is the first time the state has voted Democrat since 1996. Election results state by state Biden has won: What happens now? How will this endless US election end? Mr Trump has launched a flurry of legal challenges to projected results in key states and levelled unsubstantiated allegations of widespread electoral fraud. Meanwhile, China has finally extended its congratulations to Mr Biden and his running mate Kamala Harris after days of silence. "We respect the choice of the American people," a foreign ministry spokesman said. Russia has said it wants to wait for an "official result". Why is the statement important? The announcement marks the most direct rebuttal from federal and state officials of President Trump's unsubstantiated claims of election fraud. Thursday's joint statement was released by the Election Infrastructure Government Co-ordinating Council - which is made up of senior officials from the Department of Homeland Security and the US Election Assistance Commission as well as state-level officials who oversee elections and representatives of the voting machine industry. "The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. Right now, across the country, election officials are reviewing and double checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result," the group said. "While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too," it added, without naming Mr Trump directly. "When you have questions, turn to elections officials as trusted voices as they administer elections." media captionObama: Claims of election fraud are "delegitimising" democracy The statement was posted to the website of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (Cisa), which is part of the Department of Homeland Security. The head of Cisa, Christopher Krebs, has reportedly incurred the White House's displeasure over a Cisa website called Rumor Control, which debunks election misinformation. Why 2020 is not the same as the 2000 recount On Thursday, Mr Krebs shared a post by an election law expert that said: "Please don't retweet wild and baseless claims about voting machines, even if they're made by the president." Cisa assistant director Bryan Ware stepped down on Thursday. The White House had asked for his resignation earlier this week, Reuters reports. Mr Krebs expects to be fired, the news agency says. Hours before the statement was released, Mr Trump tweeted that voting software used in 28 states had deleted millions of votes for him, but presented no evidence for the stunning claim, which appeared to originate from the obscure TV network One America News and was flagged by Twitter. The claim was linked to the miscounting of votes in one Republican-leaning Michigan county. Unofficial results initially favoured Mr Biden but were later corrected in President Trump's favour. State election officials acknowledged what had happened, saying human error was to blame, rather than a software malfunction. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i0AYaRcfbU click on link to check out my content

Biden phones US allies On winning the election, US presidents call up their peers around the world. Who they speak to and what they talk about can show their foreign policy agendas for the years ahead. On Wednesday Biden’s transition team announced he had spoken with the leaders of Australia, Japan and South Korea. All three are key US allies in the region, and the president-elect told Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Japan’s Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and President Moon Jae-in of South Korea that he wanted to deepen those ties. Trump made security in the region - particularly against a nuclear-armed North Korea - a key feature of his presidency, holding historic meetings with its leader Kim Jong-un. But he also clashed on occasion with traditional US allies in the area, including Australia. Mr Trump infamously rang then-Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull at the start of 2017 over the fate of some 1,000 refugees - a call Mr Turnbull called “very frank and forthright” Posted at 9:239:23 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i0AYaRcfbU pls check out my content you will be wowed

Foreign Affairs / Us 2020 Election Recount Georgia To Recount Election Ballots By Hand by Jerryjasper(m): 7:30pm On Nov 11, 2020 |
What impact could the Georgia recount have? We have reported that Georgia will be doing a full hand recount of its votes for the presidential election. Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told reporters: "We'll be counting every single piece of paper — every single ballot, every single lawfully cast, legal ballot." This is what the Trump campaign requested on Tuesday. Each state has its own recount rules, but in general, the ballots will be re-tallied and re-scanned. In some places, a certain number of ballots are always counted by hand to ensure the validity of the machines. But recounts have rarely led to a change in the results. It's also important to note that even if Biden loses Georgia, he's still over the 270 vote threshold. Georgia's state deadline for certifying election results is 20 November. The Trump campaign earlier said it would also be requesting a recount in Wisconsin. Columbia University Law School professor Richard Briffault told the BBC there was a recount in Wisconsin in 2016 as well, and it changed a few hundred votes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i0AYaRcfbU

Foreign Affairs / Biden Moves On With Transition Plans As Rumours Of Inauguration Guest List Arise by Jerryjasper(m): 3:14pm On Nov 11, 2020 |
Fake rumour over Biden's inauguration guest list Shruti Menon BBC Reality Check, Delhi As preparations for a Biden presidency gain momentum in the US, there will inevitably be interest in who the president-elect will be inviting as VIP guests to his inauguration in January. In India, this has prompted widespread social media speculation, not least because of Vice-President-elect Kamala Harris’s Indian heritage (her mother was born in the southern state of Tamil Nadu). Several users on Twitter and Facebook have been saying former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh – now a senior figure in India’s main opposition party - has been invited as the "chief guest" to the inauguration. We reached out to Singh's office and received the response that it was “fake news” that he’d received any invitation. But the false claim has been widely shared on social media, including by many members of Singh’s Congress party. Prime Minister Narendra Modi – who has had a good working relationship with Donald Trump – has congratulated Joe Biden on his election victory. According to the New York Times the body that organises the inaugural ceremony has not yet put out a list of invitees. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i0AYaRcfbU click on link to check out my content thank you

Citizens of America are once again saddled with the responsibility of choosing the most powerful president and leader of the free world, the battle is obviously btw Donald Trump and Joe Biden many polls have said that Biden is in the lead but as we al know after God the electoral college and the election are the real deciders of the election we can take a cue from the last one btw (trump and Clinton) Trumps main stance has been to make America great again and in that light it affected how he dealt with terrorism and the middle East, China not left out his second was against abortion and Gay laws Joe Biden however rides on his vision for renewable energy and the violence against the black community in America ....... The minorities in America have been said to be a major decider ok this year's election one of which is majorly the black community but the black community is divided as some are rooting for Biden while others will support Trump because of his stand against terrorism and his Christian friendly policies ......... The battle is very fierce as the democrats are desperate to get back to power and although supporters of Trump has been seen has fanatics and extremist those of Biden are not really different as they are also power hungry this leads to an assertion that violence and riots might be the order of the day when results are announced another pointer to this is the recent construction of a new fence around the White House which points to the fact that security agencies might forsee this riots and protest also a us correspondent on Raypower FM abuja (anchored by Ameachi every weekday mornings ) said businesses had been to close as the environment is highly tensed and people are on alert in case something breaks out he also said many black people he interviewed wanted Biden to win but the anchor (Amaechi) said the ones he interviewed wanted Trump to win.......... America as a nation in is not known for election violence as this are things we see in Africa especially Nigeria where election is a do or die affair ....... We wish America a peaceful election and pray that the best candidate should win ............ And also Let Nigeria learn from the good side of how they handle their elections .... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K60HD1gO3lE my content on YouTube thank me later |

arguably one of the greatest players of the round leather fame the Argentine talisman Lionel Andres Messi has not been in the best of form or we could outrightly say he has been in his worst of form this season last season saw him finishing the laliga satender with 25 goals although he became the league's highest goal scorer the Argentine was at a personal low and with the opening of this season he has not been on his usual self in terms of goals as most of his goals this season has come from the penalty spot and a few assist............... The heat was turned up again when his rival Cristiano Ronaldo also came back from isolation to score two goals to make matters worst the Argentine has not been scoring open play goals ...... Many thought that with the resignation of Barcelona's former embatteled president the Argentine would be back but the story still remains the same and it is a popular saying that when Messi is not in form Barcelona is not in form as the Catalans could only salvage a point from their last match after a defeat at home to their bitter rivals real Madrid........... Much is left to be seen if in the coming matches the little magician will pick up his form and continue to dribble assist and score beautiful goals that the world has known him for ......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K60HD1gO3lE pls click on link to check out my content on YouTube you will be amazed |

Nigerian students are always in a state of dilemma about their education some rent houses off camp and with this lingering strike their rents have probably expired as a Nigerian student you can't even calculate when you will graduate because of the never ending battle btw Assu and fg As a Nation we have not even gone through the covid-19 pandemic and we are also being faced with the three headed monster called ASUU strike what's your take on this issue is the federal government the one at fault for being insensitive to their plight and to that of students or ASUU are just being over demanding and ridiculous with their demands https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K60HD1gO3lE link to my content on YouTube you will be wowed |
