I bet you this thread can't be discarded without making a glaring observation.I've been besieged by various ladies from different banks very desperate  about my organization having an account with them in the last two years.What baffles me is the level of desperation they exude.70% of these ladies wanted to get down with me cos of the measure of funds they think we control.One of the branch managers of Zenith,a married woman was toasting me with text messages.An oceanic marketer traced my house on a weekend in a desperate move to arrest my attention.If not cos of personal decision not to enmesh myself in sexual rascality,i would have had enough of these prostitutes,sorry bankers.All these appears disgusting to me.Based on my experience,i will find it very difficult seeing many female bankers(married & unmarried) as responsible.
You need to know the pressure these ladies pass through to bring fat accounts.A friend in Oceanic bank recently told me in confidence that she slept with a customer to get an account.When i asked her how much the account was worth,she said 3million.She was sober,but couldn't risk being sacked as she is already in probation.I don't envy bank jobs at all

Pastor offered me R10 000 to sit in a wheelchair, stand up and walk

04 April 2008
SPECIAL INVESTIGATION by Getrude Makhafola and Tebogo Monama

Faith healer or fake healer: Pastor Chris Oyakhilome
From architecture to saving souls Nigerian preacher and healer Pastor Chris Oyakhilome has been accused by a member of his own church of staging miracle healing sessions.

Some of his followers have said that he has been hiring people to pretend to be sick and disabled and then “be healed” during his television shows and public prayer meetings.

A man who did not want to be identified for security reasons said: “I was offered R10 000 to rehearse and pretend to be in a wheelchair three weeks before the all-night prayer called Night of Bliss at the Johannesburg Stadium.”

Last weekend Pastor Oyakhilome hosted an all-night prayer at the stadium. The source told Sowetan that he started attending Christ Embassy church in Randburg last year.

He was recruited by one of the pastors and told he would be paid if he helped to draw crowds. “The pastor told me that they were looking for people to work for the church.

He said that I was going to sit in a wheelchair and be wheeled around while pretending to be physically ill. I would then stand up and walk as soon as Pastor Chris stopped praying for me.”

The source also said that the people who are “healed” every time on stage are actually trained weeks before.

“Even children who are healthy are whisked around in wheelchairs. Some use crutches. “Everyone is allocated a person who tells the congregation about your background, your specific illness and suffering. “The pastor then raises his hands and places them maybe on your legs if you cannot walk, and a few seconds later you get up and walk around the room,”the source said. He said he called the church the day after their offer and turned them down.

“I just told myself that using the word of God to lie to desperate people is immoral, so I refused to take up their offer,” said the source.

A woman who went to the all-night prayer service, said: “When he started healing people, I did not see him call anyone from the audience. The people that he ‘healed’ came from a certain section of the audience and it looked like he came with them especially for the event.
“I saw a lot of people in wheelchairs leaving the venue who had not been healed. It was very sad."

Lerato Moeketsi told Sowetan she was a loyal follower of the church and was disappointed that she could not make it into the stadium. “I had to turn back because the stadium was full. “There was no way I could go through to receive his blessing,” she said.

Thousands of followers jostled for space at the stadium.

The seriously ill, mostly disabled and in wheelchairs, went to the service in the hope of being healed by Pastor Chris’s powerful prayer. Another woman, Tshinanne Nemutudi, said she went to the all-night prayer service because she believed in Pastor Chris.

“I trust him the way I trust Jesus and God. ”She said she had problems with her ankle but Pastor Chris had healed her. “While he was praying, he said we should all touch our body parts that needed to be healed. He said that if we believed then we would be healed.”

Oyakhilome ’s website describes him as a pastor, teacher, healing minister, television host and best-selling author whose career spans 25 years.
He runs the church with his wife, Pastor Anita, who is the director of Christ Embassy’s international office and also preaches at the Christ Embassy churches in the United Kingdom.

Pastor Chris also hosts a religious programme on TV called Atmosphere for Miracles. At the Randburg branch, brother Onyeka Liozo said what the source and the followers said “was rubbish”. “We have a healing school in Randburg. People ask and get healed.

People must stop lying about this holy crusade,” said Liozo. He said that people come from outside South Africa for help.

Pastor Chris is both controversial and mysterious. The press is barred from taking pictures at his healing services.

Hello dear,obviously African men are not only promiscus,they are polygamous in nature.Honestly,only prayer can change the heart of an adulterous man.I will recommend a book"The Successful Family'' by Dr.Creflo Dollar for you to address the issue.The book is quite educative and informative for both single and married fellow.
The world is going crazy,a married woman has been chasing me for over 3 years now!Isn't that ironic?Marriage is constantly loosing value in today's world.Never attempt a showdown with the lady.Your husband will only perfect his strategy of seeing her.God will help you.Don't loose hope,ladies are desperate nowadays.They ask married guys out.All da best!

Those replying this thread are carrying out campaign of calumny against against the school.
I graduated from the school in 2004.I am gainfully employed in an American NGO in Abuja.I was a hot cake for employers of labour during the two months i sought for a jobI and i know a lot of friends that graduated from there that are currently doing their masters and PHD in pretigious universties like Cambridge,Oxford and Harvard abroad without PGD.A lot are gainfully employed in all sectors ranging from banking,oil,insurance,IT,.Passing through the school is the best thing that has ever happened to me.I left ABU Zaria as a result of cult threats to have peace there.The school has only two departments in Humaities are unaccredited,but all all other departments and faculties are fully accredited.However,i will advise anyone that actually wants to study,to go there.If i had remained in public school,i wouldn't have benefited much in terms of academic seriousnes and moral rectitude.The university is not meant for social miscreants like cultists,smokers and semi-prostitutes.No room for bribing of lecturers as characterized with public schools.No strike by lecturers.Students are treated with respect and dignity.Though the school expels u when you flout any rules as contained in the student handbook.Discipline is ok anywhere to avert infilterating good students by bad ones.
For those seeking to know more about the school,they should log on to www.madonnauonline.com,though the website is under reconstruction now.

Politics / Prof. Maurice Iwu-the Unverified Umpire With A Fake Degree by option4301(m): 4:01pm On Jan 26, 2007
New information gathered by Saharareporters point to the INEC Chairman – Prof. Iwu as a stooge and/or a possible victim of the Abuja power brokers. This is according to information generated through cursory investigation by our team of investigators. Prof. Maurice Iwu, a research scientist, Maryland USA resident, who upon the recommendation of his longtime family friend and colleague UNN, Nsukka, Senator Ugochukwu Uba, got the appointment to the position of INEC Chairman, is believed to have some unpleasant questions to answer - questions the power structure in Abuja may be using against him as blackmail to keep him under control.

According to the public information available on the Independent National Electoral Commission’s website (www.inecnigeria.com), the commission Chairman – Prof. Maurice Iwu, obtained his primary education at Christ the King School Aba, his secondary school at St. Pius X college at Bodo-Ogoni, his professional training at the University of Bradford, England where he received a Master of Pharmacy degree in 1976 and a PhD in 1978.

What appear puzzling is that there is no mention of where and when he obtained his undergraduate degree, a trick made possible by the professional nature of Pharmacy (According to Academic experts students can earn a master’s degree in Pharmacy if they go the long haul). However, new information shows that the reason for omitting the mention of Prof. Maurice Iwu’s undergraduate degree from the INEC website may not be a mistake after all. This became clear as Saharareporters made contact with University of Bradford in the United Kingdom to inquire whether Prof. Maurice Iwu obtained an undergraduate degree from the institution. The University of Bradford, whose reaction to the request appeared suspiciously too cagey, as they repeatedly, insisted that a letter of permission be obtained from Prof. Iwu before they release the requested basic information, when they first released any information at all, it was a rehash of what INEC had on its website. Shortly after they succumbed to the pressure mounted by Saharareporters and spoke through their Senior Press Officer - Oliver Tipper stating via an e-mail that, “He {Prof. Maurice Iwu} was enrolled here in 1975 for the Masters degree in Pharmacy, but we have on our records that he studied Pharmacy in Cameroon during the late 1960s before coming to Bradford”. Further efforts to get the University of Bradford to release the name of the University in Cameroon that issued Professor Iwu with undergraduate degree met legal resistance from Bradford; they instead cited a 1998 British Law that bars universities from disclosing private information.

Perplexed by the information given by University of Bradford which indicate that Prof. Iwu graduated with a degree in pharmacy in the late 1960s which places his age at about 19 years old at the time of graduation, Saharareporters approached the Spokesperson for INEC – Pastor Segun Adeogun and made the request for an interview from Prof. Iwu’s plus his official curriculum vitae but Prof. Iwu did not respond to the requests and the INEC spokesperson, Pastor Segun Adeogun in turn directed us to the INEC website for Prof. Iwu’ curriculum vitae, when we reminded him that the vital information about his undergrad degree was missing, he advised us to make do with the “INEC summary”. After repeated appeals for the curriculum vitae, it became apparent that the duo of Prof. Maurice Iwu and Pastor Segun Adeogun maybe resisting due to a particular reason. However in a last pitch effort by our investigators, Pastor Segun Adeogun finally buckled and told our investigators that the official INEC records show that the Prof. Maurice Iwu obtained his undergraduate degree, Master degree and PhD degree from University of Bradford between 1972 and 1978. That not withstanding, the resistance by Pastor Adeogun remained suspicious.

Interestingly, Saharareporters was able to unearth the reason for the resistance. And it points to the parallel background of Prof. Maurice Iwu that does not mesh with his professional claims. Information gathered on Prof. Iwu’s background placed Prof. Iwu at Biafra Holy Rosary School of Pharmacy, Ummuna Orlu from 1968-1969 where he dropped out in Class 4 – coinciding with the same period he indicated to the University of Bradford to have graduated from a University in Cameroon. Following his stint at the school of pharmacy, he undertook a course in Ivory Coast for ‘Dispensing Pharmacy Technician in Compounding’, under the Biafran-Ivory Coast training scholarships for Biafrans. The course was for two months. Following the end of the Biafran war, he landed a job as a dispensing chemist at a chemist in Enugu at 35 Zik Avenue, Uwani- Enugu opposite Leventis stores. He held this job between 1970 and 1973. While working at the Chemist as a dispenser, he told most of his patients he was a "doctor".

Supplementing the parallel career that appears contradictory to Prof Iwu’s claims, sources close to him told Saharareporters that Prof. Maurice Iwu forged his undergraduate degree to gain entry into University of Bradford in the UK. According to the sources, Maurice took his late brother’s certificate Christopher Iwu and forged it to enable him enter the university. Christopher Iwu who was a Biafran official born in the forties, died during the civil war -He attended St. Patrick’s college in Calabar, Nigeria.

For this reason, questions remain for Prof. Maurice Iwu to answer regarding his claims to have attended undergraduate school in Cameroon. Since BRADFORD spokesperson says Iwu came with a ‘Pharmacy degree’ from Cameroon, then, was Prof. Maurice Iwu holding a bachelor’s degree in Pharmacy at the age of 19 or less since his INEC profile puts his date of birth at April 21st, 1950? Was he in Cameroon studying pharmacy while at the same time dispensing drugs in Enugu? Could that explain why his students at Nsukka complained regularly that Prof. Maurice Iwu was a half-baked Professor? Also, could it be why Prof. Maurice Iwu’s research has virtually been on herbal medicine?

Also, Saharareporters spoke to former colleagues of Professor Iwu regarding his much talked about ‘activist side’, and according to an Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) activist that knows Prof. Maurice Iwu quite well, “Prof. Iwu was a traitor who betrayed them under the military regime of Babangida”. One of the students he betrayed at Nsukka during the same military regime of Babangida was one Emma Ezeazu. His saboteur-like behavior towards Emma Ezeazu resulted in the expulsion of Mr. Ezeazu.

Prior to Prof. Maurice Iwu’s relocation to Nigeria to assume the post of INEC Chairman, along with having worked extensively in the Maryland area of United States of America as an expert in the area of herbal medicines, he had owned and operated a research center called Bioresources Development and Conservation Programme. Saharareporters made several attempts to make contact with Prof. Maurice Iwu’s colleagues but to no avail. Telephone calls placed to the telephone number of his Bioresources Development and Conservation Programme in Maryland indicated that it had been changed to a Washington DC number which is now being handled by an answering service - suggesting that the Business has either closed down or is being used as a ‘shell’ office to execute other activities as Bioresource’s website still listed offices in Guinea, UK, Cameroon and Enugu (Nigeria). We also contacted the Division of Experimental Therapeutics at the Walter Reed Army Research Institute where Professor Iwu worked was a senior research associate according to the information on the INEC’s website but got the voicemail of one Col. (Dr.) Allen Magill and we left a message requesting for Prof. Iwu’s curriculum vitae but Col. (Dr.) Allen Magill did not return our phone calls. Also, an e-mail was sent to the Public Affairs officer of Walter Reed Army Research Institute requesting for Prof. Iwu’s curriculum vitae but did not receive a reply at press time. However, Saharareporters was able to contact one person who worked with Professor Iwu at Walter Reed AIR who goes by the name Dr. Christopher Okunji. Dr. Okunji who is currently a contractor at the US National Institute of Health in talking briefly with our investigators indicated that he could not speak on his professional relationship with Prof. Maurice Iwu citing workplace media gag. What was striking about Dr. Okunji was his reaction to the mere mention of Prof. Iwu’s name in conjunction to his professional career.

However, with the call by nearly 40 Nigerian Senators on the afternoon of January 17, 2007 for the resignation of the INEC Chairman, many eyebrows have begun to be raised in wonderment as to what might be brewing within the corridors of power in Abuja and the Obasanjo electoral machinery.

Informed players within the corridors of influence in Abuja believe that what appears to be a brewing tussle between the two entities fits a pattern that has been put in place for effective manipulation mechanism to ensure that the players within INEC and the Police remain subjects and puppets of the power brokers in Abuja, specifically the Peoples Democratic Party. This is achieved through the placement of weak and compromised personalities in sensitive positions within the INEC, the Police and OTHER AGENCIES OVERSEEING the 2007 elections to enable for easy manipulation.

As Saharareporters has also discovered, the current INEC Secretary Alhaji Abubakar B. Jauro is scheduled to retire in December 2006, even if we were to go by what is publicly published by INEC which states that Alhaji Jauro was born in January of 1947 which makes him due for retirement in January 2007 because the mandatory retirement for civil servants is 60. However the information reaching Saharareporters indicates that the President Obasanjo and his cronies in the PDP have decided not publicly announce the retirement until after the electioneering period and when Saharareporters confronted the INEC Spokesperson Pastor Segun Adeogun he took a deep sigh and told us to contact the Head of the Civil Service. All efforts to reach the head of service – Alhaji Yayala Ahmed failed. In the same manner, with which President Obasanjo’s extended the retirement of the Inspector General of Police - Mr. Sunday Ehindero, he extended the Commissioner of Police in Abuja FCT – Lawrence Alobi. The extended retirement of Mr. Sunday Ehindero and Lawrence Alobi is believed to have its reasons wrapped in the upcoming elections and the role the police is expected to play in what many experts fear as the PDP grand plan to retain power in 2007 at all cost.

So the combination of a compromised INEC Chairman with a heavily tainted educational background, a compromised INEC Secretary pleading for extension of retirement and a completely compromised Inspector General of Police who already had his retirement extended, automatically lends to the potent question of this season. And that is, whether the President wants to leave power? Another question worthy of answers is whether the Office of the President is in the know of Prof. Maurice Iwu’s educational background and then uses it to keep him controlled? Whether the call by the 40 Senators for Prof. Maurice Iwu to resign concerns his educational background? Or, whether it concerns the soiled relationship between Senator Ugochukwu Uba and chris uba on one hand and his brother ‘Dr’ Emmanuel Nnamdi Uba? Or, whether it has to do with the influx of petitions to the INEC office of which the folks in the power structure of PDP believe that some of the prime candidates may face disqualification by an untainted INEC chair?

The latest development coming out of Abuja may shed some light to the dubiousness surrounding the ongoing activities in and around INEC and the power structure in Abuja. According to updates received by Saharareporters, Mr. Emmanuel Nnamdi Uba and Florence Ita Giwa, in attempts to quell the brewing brouhaha in the house of the National Assembly, were dispatched to ‘pacify’ the senators who had previously passed a vote of no confidence on Prof. Maurice Iwu just a day before their visit. The duo of Uba and Ita Giwa were said to have visited some of the key Senators with heavy wads of cash to offer them as bribes. The next day, following their visit, Prof. Iwu was suddenly ‘pardoned’ by the Senate and given a clean bill of health complete with VOTE OF CONFIDENCE at their next sitting.
