There are two different things:
One, MONEY RITUAL
Two, BLOOD MONEY RITUAL

The two are REAL!

You can be rich with native formula without using HUMAN BLOOD or PARTS

This is a confirmed FACT as an IJEBU MAN.

The word Ritual is misinterpreted by ignorant people. Ritual is biblical, quranic and traditional.

Jesus performed RITUAL
Mohammad performed RITUAL

You can do ritual to enhance financial status

Only the application of HUMAN PARTS OR BLOOD that is forbidden by me


with HERBS it is CONFIRMED?

Politics / BOKOHARAM: Chibok Abductor/butcher/foodstuff Supplier/bomb Expert Arrested! by Sirniyeh(m): 9:48pm On Jul 26, 2015
It's generally believed, security-wise that the first recipe to combat and prevail over any insurgency and terrorism is the information. For over a year in Nigeria, Nigerians are. Bitterly disappointed by the continuous breaking News of Boko haram commanders being arrested while the heat of the insurgency is getting stronger!

What is the Military doing with the information extracted from the arrested ones?

More than 20 so-claimed leaders of Boko Haram had been reportedly arrested by the Milittary. With the arrest, it is expected for this insurgency to have reduced drastically.

If they are not cooperating with useful confessions, why still keeping them in prison?

Imagine,
their butcher arrested,
their bomb expert arrested,
chibok girls mastermind arrested,
Iyanya bomb blast mastermind arrested
Foodstuff supplier arrested
Their technology expert arrested
Etc
WHO IS FOOLING WHO



CHIEF BUTCHER OF BOKO HARAM SECT ARRESTED

www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/butcher-human-beings-2-minutes-says-boko-haram-chief-killer/

By Kingsley Omonobi
ABUJA — The Chief Butcher of the Boko Haram sect,
Zakari Mohammed Ardo, yesterday, gave a chilling
description of how the terrorist group used to slaughter
people they capture, saying it only takes him two minutes
to butcher victims and enemies condemned to death.

Ardo, who had been reported in some media (not
Vanguard) as having escaped from Police custody, said
the group’s butchering committee was made up of five
persons of which he is the chairman, pointing out that
the other members will hold down the already tired
victim while he cuts off the head.

Speaking through an interpreter in Kanuri, the ‘Chief
Butcher’ who claims to be 30 years old and from Darazo
Local Government Area of Bauchi State, said: “I joined
the Boko Haaram group two years ago. Before I was
arrested, I have slaughtered five people.”




CHIBOK GIRLS ABDUCTOR NABBED

www.vanguardngr.com/2014/07/military-nabs-abductor-chibok-girls/

ABUJA—Almost three months after Boko Haram
terrorists abducted more than 200 schoolgirls in Chibok,
Borno State, the military announced, yesterday, that it
has arrested one of the sect’s leaders, who was one of the
abductors.

This came on a day the sect members bombed a
Divisional Police Headquarters in Shani Local
Government Area of Borno State and also attacked an
emir’s palace.

The alleged abductor of the Chibok girls, whose name
was given as Babuji Ya’ari, was also said to have led the
attack in which the Emir of Gwoza, Alh. Idriss Timta, was
killed a few weeks ago.




SUPPLIER OF FOODSTUFF TO BOKO HARAM NABBED

The alleged supplier of fuel and food to terrorists
Military authorities prosecuting the battle to dislodge the
remnants of the Boko Haram terror group from Sambisa
forest disclosed yesterday that the supplier of fuel and
diesel to the terrorists for use in the camps has been
arrested.

The arrest according to sources followed the killing of
several of the terrorists who at one point, tried to
ambush Nigerian soldiers in the forest but met their
waterloo as soldiers who knew the modus operandi of
Boko Haram, had prepared for the ambush.

Vanguard had noted in the footage of the air and ground
bombardment of the camps of the terrorists, many of
the terrorists in their hundreds were seen jumping into
several pick up vans, trucks and motorcycles and fleeing
at very top speed even inside the forest.

The question that came to mind had been where and how
the terrorist got fuel to energise these trucks, pick-up vans and motorcycles.

The arrest of the supplier who also provides foodstuff for
them is however expected to cripple the logistics support
that has emboldened the terrorists.

Politics / BUHARI EXPOSED: What You Don't Know About Mr President's Background by Sirniyeh(m): 8:05pm On Jul 25, 2015
www.sunnewsonline.com/new/buhari-exposed--his-education-life-and-career/


BY LAWRENCE ENYIOGHASU

The controversies surrounding Muhammadu Buhari’s background reveal that so many Nigerians are not familiar with the book written by Rosaline Odeh, the then Head of Research and Documentation Section, Federal Department of Information, in May 1984.

The book, Muhammadu Buhari: Nigeria’s Seventh Head of State, was published by the Federal Department of Information, Domestic Publicity Division, Ikoyi Road, Lagos. It is in seven chapters of 95 pages, and details the early life, educational qualifications, career, and thoughts of the then head of state.

Chapter 1 is on parentage and background of the Daura, Katsina State-born retired military officer and politician. He was the 13th and last child of his mother, and also the last of his father’s 23 children.
Gen. Buhari’s father was Hardo Adamu, a Fulani chief of Dumukorl, a village near Daura. He, however, died when the young Muhammadu was just four years old. All he can remember of him is that “he was tall and fair in complexion.” The young boy ended being brought up by his mother, Hajia Zulaihalu Musa, who had great influence on him.

Chapter 2 is on Buhari’s childhood and early education. This is the portion that, perhaps, unravels the current raging debate on his academic credentials.

At the age of six, the book says, General Buhari was
enrolled at the Central Primary School, Daura. His
nephew, Mamman, who is two and a half years older,
says of the young pupil: “He was above average
academically and more than usual naughty.” Buhari
himself corroborated: “I was a truant in primary school. I spent a lot of my time playing around. But when I went to secondary school, I changed.”

Classmates at Daura Primary School remember Buhari as a fast runner and centre forward for the school football team. He was always neatly dressed. He was to finish primary education in 1955 at Kankia Primary School.

In 1956, he proceeded to the Katsina Provisional
Secondary School (now Government College, Katsina.
According to his schoolmates, he had then become “a
serious and hardworking student who tried to excel in everything he did.” Deeply religious, he said his prayers regularly, and was among those who made prayer calls at 4:30a.m.

Who were some of Buhari’s classmates, and what did
they say of him?

General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua (now deceased): “He
worked fairly hard at his studies and games. He was
reserved. He was one of the few boys in the school
trusted by his classmates, and was quite dependable.”

Alhaji Fathu Abdullahi: He made a lot of friends from
outside his Daura group. He was very broadminded. Very serious for his age and had no time for frivolous talks. He was very religious, even at the age of 12.”

Mallam Muktari, Zango: “He used to baffle me. He was
so strong-willed and principled. He always stood his
ground and did not follow the crowd.”

Buhari was a school monitor in Class 2, later a school
prefect, a house captain, and ultimately he was made the head boy of the school.

According to the book, of all the boys who applied to join the Army from Katsina Secondary School, only two were taken. Muhammadu Buhari and Shehu Yar’Adua. They both ended up as Generals.

Politics / No Corrupt Person Will Escape Justice Even 'APC' Member: Buhari by Sirniyeh(m): 7:56pm On Jul 21, 2015
www.thenationonlineng.net/no-corrupt-person-will-escape-justice-buhari/

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday said no corrupt individual either in the All Progressives Congress (APC) or in the opposition Peoples Democratic Party will escape justice.

The President said he is determined to rid the country
of corruption and improve its fortune. Buhari stated these during an interview with CNN chief correspondent, Christiane Amanpour, on Tuesday evening.

He also said his government will not reject any move
to negotiate with the Boko Haram sect, saying the
government will carefully consider the credibility of
any group or individual claiming to represent the sect
before opening its doors for negotiation.

“We must be very careful about the credibility of Boko Haram leadership coming to say they can deliver. I cannot be against negotiation. Our objective is to deliver the abducted Chibok girls. So we will not oppose negotiation, “ the President said

HOW MTN DUPES ITS SUBSCRIBERS!


Dear MTN, My dear MTN, My Dearest MTN...
No matter how you rephrase this sms to me, I would never fall victim of your business tricks.

At first it was ''text yes to 7070 for a chance to win
N2,000,000''. I neglected it. Then it graduated to "few steps away from receiving your N2,000,000 reward".... I kept quiet...

Then I checked my balance and saw "You would not receive your N2,000,000 reward if you dont text "yes to 7070"....I still maintained my silence....

Then I recharged and I saw "reward your self right now,
text yes to 7070 and you could win N2,000,000"....
i still kept quiet....

Then I got an sms from MTN and viewed it. What I saw was "Does your number end with 6640? please send OK to 7070! *******6640 has been rewarded with access to MTN's N2,000,000 draw today! subscribe for 100/day"....I still kept quiet...

I was waiting 4 my client to send some cash to me. When i got a sms, i thought it was the bank alert but when i opened it, i saw ""if Your number ends with 6640, follow the instruction in the next sms" i waited patiently 4 d next sms, lo and behold it was "0803***6640 just won N2,000,000 draw tonight. Text Yes to 7070 to claim. 100/sms." i was angry but i said nothing.

Then I saw an alert again!!... "Are you Francis? Yello, you just won MTN's N2,000,000 draw. Text OK to 7070 to claim it, 100/ day" (Money wey I don win, I go
still text 100/day to claim am. Abii?

Express don leave this MTN o.)....ok o, I still kept quiet....

Then just few minutes ago, I got a call and guess who called? ''7070''!!!... abeg wetin them wan tell me wey them never send for text?

Naija people, please judge me and MTN ooo. I dey on my own o...dem wan force N2,000,000 enter my

Politics / JONATHAN PANICS: Runs To Abudusalam For $2.1b Probe By Buhari by Sirniyeh(m): 7:34pm On Jul 15, 2015
www.newspunch.org/jonathan-panics-rattles-runs-to-abdulsalami-as-as-buhari-plans-2-1b-oil-cash-probe/

The Nation – Holidaying former President Goodluck Jonathan has dashed into Abuja to launch a protest, The Nation has learnt.

Dr Jonathan is disturbed by the determination of
President Muhammadu Buhari to probe how $2.1billion was illegally withdrawn from the Excess
Crude Account (ECA), sources said yesterday,
pleading not to be named “because of the sensitivity of the matter”.

Jonathan is said to be planning a protest to the
Gen. Abubakar Abdulsalami National Peace Committee for 2015 General Elections that:

•the Buhari administration is trying to blackmail
him and his erstwhile cabinet members;

•he is not pleased with the corruption tar being put on his administration; and that

•he is worried by the likely probe of the whereabouts of the $4billion taxes and dividends paid by the Nigerian Liquified Natural gas Ltd between 2009 and 2014.

Jonathan and some of his ministers are said to be
angry that Buhari ought to know that such taxes
and dividends are remitted to the Federal Inland
Revenue Service (FIRS).

Another matter troubling Jonathan and his ministers, according to sources, is how the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) under his watch allegedly blew N3.8trillion in three years.

The Abdulsalami Committee is yet to have audience with Buhari on the allegations made by Jonathan, a source said.

The former President arrived in the country last
weekend to “defend his administration”. He could
not be reached for comments last night.

It was, however, learnt that he had chosen to table
before the Abdulsalami Committee some issues,
including the controversial $2.1billion withdrawn
from the Excess Crude Account (ECA) without
recourse to the National Economic Council(NEC).
A source said: “The former President returned into
the country at the weekend but he is unhappy with
the bashing of his administration.

“Jonathan believes that Buhari is blackmailing him
and his ministers, contrary to the terms of the
2015 poll peace agreement which led to a smooth
transition from the Peoples Democratic Party
(PDP) to the opposition All Progressives Congress
(APC).

“I think Jonathan approached the Abdulsalami
Committee so that he will be left alone by Buhari
who openly said he inherited an empty treasury
from his predecessor.”

A former minister in the Jonathan administration,
who spoke in confidence, said: “The ex-President is
unhappy that the administration of Buhari has
been stigmatising his administration instead of
putting him into confidence on issues.

“For God’s sake, let them allow this man to earn his
well-deserved retirement. If there is any observation by the new government, there are standard official procedures of addressing such.”

NEC, on June 29, raised a four-man panel on how
NNPC spent N3.8 trillion in three years. The four ‘wise men’ are Governors Adams Oshiomhole (Edo), Udom Emmanuel (Akwa Ibom), Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna) and Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe).

While awaiting the submission of the committee’s
report, Oshiomhole joined issues with the immediate past Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on how $2.1billion in ECA was disbursed without approval.

He said the $2.1 billion, only $1 billion was paid to
oil marketers as fuel subsidy and about $1billion
used for election purposes.

Although Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala claimed that the ex-
President approved the spending of $1 billion,
Oshiomhole said Jonathan had no right to do so.
He said any withdrawal from the account ought to
be approved by NEC.

[b]
As a responsible organization, Guinness believes in celebrating life and promoting national pride in the safest way possible, and promotes responsible consumption in all that it does.

Here are four important things you should know about Orijin and how much sugar it contains.

1.Orijin contains a safe level of sugar:

Orijin contains sugar which is a natural food. Like any other food, natural sugar should not be taken in excess. It contains 4 kcal per gram, which is the same as natural proteins and carbohydrates.

2.Orijin uses sucrose:

The sugar in Orijin is sucrose, which is derived from natural cane sugar and its composition is within normal levels and approved regulatory (NAFDAC)
requirements.

3.Orijin doesn’t contain any artificial sweeteners:

Orijin is 100% natural, containing no artificial sweeteners unlike competitive brands. A recent study conducted and reported in “The Nature” in 2014, and other sources, indicates that artificial sweeteners
like aspartame may cause elevated blood sugar levels, headaches & sleeplessness.

4.Orijin promotes responsible consumption of sugar:

Just as Orijin promotes responsible drinking for consumers over the age of 18, it also promotes the responsible consumption of sugar.



With Orijin, Guinness has successfully created a drink that allows people to experience what it means to be African in the most natural way possible. Next time
you are drinking Orijin, remember it was thoughtfully and orijinally created just for you.

Muslim community raise money to rebuild 8 churches burnt after Charleston shooting

Oge Okonkwo | 12:44 | 14.07.2015

One of the organisers, Faatimah Knight said, "We wanted to show that as a Muslim community, their pain did not go unnoticed by us—that we did, if fact, feel deeply for their loss."

A group of Muslim friends recently embarked on a Ramadan project called #RespondWithLove, to help raise money to reconstruct eight black churches burned in the wake of the Charleston church massacre in South Carolina.

One of the organisers, Faatimah Knight, who spoke to NBC news said, "We wanted to show that as a Muslim community, their pain did not go unnoticed by us—that we did, if fact, feel deeply for their loss."

"The Muslim community and the Black community are connected in integral ways, one cannot tell the story of one in America without telling the story of the other. We hope that these churches might stand tall again as a testament to the power of human goodness over human vileness and to one day be a place where God's name is oft-remembered, "
Knight, an alumni of Zaytuna College said.

According to reports, using LaunchGood- a Muslim-run crowdfunding platform for ethically sound projects, Knight said they hoped to tap into "the notoriously generous Ramadan spirit that is infectious among Muslims this time of year."

They reached their $20,000 goal in two and a half days, with two more weeks remaining. The idea for #RespondWithLove grew out of an earlier fundraising effort by Knight's family,

"From Muslims to Emanuel AME Church, with Love," which raised money "to send a train of flowers to the surviving families of the Charleston church massacre, as well as to the church itself."

Organizers are affiliated with Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative, Arab American Association of New York, and Ummah Wide.
