Religion / Fake Miracle Pastor Interogated by sizzlers(m): 7:01am On Nov 24, 2013
5 pastors resign. They’re disgruntled –G.O

IS YOUR CHURCH LIKE THIS…NO….HOW DO YOU KNOW…..Read.?

A large scale scandal has broken out in a church known as the City of Truth (a.k.a Holy Ghost Embassy), Uyo, Akwa Ibom State as the founder and general overseer of the church, Bishop Israel Usoro, has been accused by his pastors of engaging in fake instant healing and false prophecies.

But Bishop Usoro has denied the allegation, claiming he never knew whether those who claim to have been instantly healed of their ailments during the church’s tarry nights or similar programmes were real or pretenders.

Saturday Sun learnt that Usoro, whose church is situated at No 12, Paul Bassey Street, Uyo, began to experiment the fake instant healing after a Ghanaian pastor, one David Amousou came in as a guest preacher earlier in the year and arranged with some boys to act as sick people to receive instant cure after being prayed for.

A letter of resignation written by one of the elders and former protocol officer of the Church, Mr Idorenyin Aquaisua, to Bishop Usoro and other key officials of the church, a copy of which was made available to Saturday Sun chronicled with dates a series of fake miracles the bishop had performed by paying people, sometimes as little as N2000 to come and pose as if they were mad, blind, infirm or afflicted by evil spirits.

“It bears recall that I have served God in your Church, City of Truth Chapel Int’l, for well over seven (7) years now. Within this period, I stand vindicated before God, my conscience, and man that I have been selfless, diligent, truthful, faithful and committed in my services to God. Since 2006 till date, I have held very many sensitive positions in the church with enduring legacies.

“At a time when the Church was almost grounded by severe moral crisis occasioned by your activities that generated intense feeling of distrust in your wife, I was persuaded, out of trust by you and some faithful members of the church then, to head the Protocol Unit in your office in 2010 so as to encourage and give you the needed support to continue your ministerial duties with minimal distraction,” Aquaisua wrote.

“I came to know you closely as a prophet who professed total dependence on God. Therefore, until certain events unfolded recently, I had no cause to doubt your prophetic grace. When news first came to me early June 2013 that the regular instant healing miracles that were taking place during the Tuesday Power Night programme in the church were stage-managed, I almost beat up the person who brought the news.

“On Tuesday, August 13, 2013, I took an independent step to verify the stories and this step brought me face to face with the truth. That evening during the regular Power Night programme, a clean-shaven young man dressed in torn T-shirt and dragged along by another young man was intercepted as they were about to enter the church and interrogated in the studio room.

“During interrogation, both the young man and his accomplice, who earlier claimed that the young man he was dragging into church was mad, confessed to me (with Elders Idorenyin Mfon, Effiong Usoro and Evangelists Anietie Walter and Harrison Eke as witnesses) that he ‘was NOT MAD and that he was arranged to dress like and to act as a madman in the church for you to ‘deliver’ him so as to boost the faith of members in your anointing and increase the membership of your church’. They said what they were doing was a new method of ‘evangelism’ which you have since embraced”, he further alleged.

But in an interview with Saturday Sun in his church, Bishop Usoro refuted the allegations of fake or false instant miracle claiming that they were peddled by some former officers of the church who are no longer members of the church.

He likened them to Lucifer who was thrown out of heaven. “Since then, he can never say any good thing about heaven.”

Usoro denied ever delivering the supposedly mad man on Tuesday, August 13, 2013, even though he admitted seeing such a person in church that night.

“I saw two young men and one said the other was partially mad. I told them to be coming to church because if I don’t see anything about you, I can’t heal you. It is not the work of the flesh. It is only when you are under the unction of the holy spirit; that you can do all these things. That’s all.”

He showed Saturday Sun two other patients, a lady with goitre and a young man supposed to be mentally deranged whose conditions he said had been improving since they were brought by their relatives to the church

Usoro admitted being invited by the SSS to answer questions on the fake miracle saga and claimed that he was acquitted after the security operatives heard his own side of the story.

Science/Technology / Young Nigerian Invents Electric Football by sizzlers(m): 9:42am On Aug 17, 2013
When we first heard the story behind Uncharted Play, we were amazed: Co-founders Jessica Matthews and Julia Silverman were Harvard undergraduates when they invented the SOCCKET, a soccer ball that doubles as a charger for small electronic devices like LED lamps, cell phones, and even hot plates. Inspired by their time spent in developing countries—both girls watched local youth play soccer games—the ball is designed to appeal to kids while helping families who don’t have safe power sources in their homes. Impressively, 30 minutes of playing with the SOCCKET ball can yield three hours of light. Now, the entrepreneurs are busy distributing the balls in countries ranging from South Africa to Argentina. We sat down with Jessica to learn more about the world-changing work she and her teammates are doing at Uncharted Play

How does the SOCCKET ball work?

The SOCCKET is a portable generator in the form of a durable soccer ball. It’s an off-grid power source designed for resource-poor communities around the world that lack reliable (or any) access to electricity. The ball works by harnessing the kinetic energy generated during play with the ball, then storing this power inside the ball for later use. Once the ball has been played with, you can just plug appliances directly into the ball!

How did you and co-founder Julia start Uncharted Play?

In many ways, the SOCCKET inspired the broader idea for the company. Apart from the fact that we needed to build an organization to execute the SOCCKET mission, the generally positive response towards the SOCCKET showed us just how much people valued happiness in their daily lives. We founded Uncharted Play to be the catalyst for this idea—a company that would focus on all things fun and the many ways we can amplify this fun to make the world a better place.

What are some of the most memorable achievements you guys have made since launching Uncharted Play? Some of the challenges?

Building a passionate team to help us move our mission forward is by far our proudest achievement. Each time we make a significant improvement to the SOCCKET, I am incredibly proud. It takes a lot to make progress in a small start-up, so it helps to recognize the small innovations. In terms of challenges, working on an international scale with international vendors and clients can lead to unexpected barriers in communication and scheduling that make every day “exciting.”

What advice would you give to an aspiring young social entrepreneur?

Stop waiting for the perfect time to start your venture—it will never come. The reality is, if something is innovative, you cannot be taught how to do it. You must prepare yourself to learn while doing and to fail frequently. Fortunately, failure only counts as failure if it’s the period in your sentence. If you get back up and keep going, it’s just a comma—an interesting pause in your story that makes the exercise of looking back on how you achieved success even more meaningful.

What’s next for Uncharted Play?

2013 will be all about growth and challenging ourselves to innovate in ways somewhat unrelated to the SOCCKET. We plan to release a second product, the Ludo, and expand our educational services.http://qwikgist.com/2013/08/17/young-nigerian-invents-electric-football/

Celebrities / Popularity Context, Genevieve Floors Omotola Again! by sizzlers(m): 5:13pm On Aug 10, 2013
For quite sometime now the criteria for measuring popularity,especially among entertainment stars have been all about the social media. And the best way to go these days have been to see who has the highest number of fans or followers on Twitter.

Lady Gaga made a big hit with her followers base last year by creating her own social media platform because she got so big and couldn’t just stick with Twitter with her traffic of followers. Now, the Nollywood stars up there, though not in the class of Lady Gaga, are Genevieve Nnaji and Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde. The duo are not exactly sworn enemies but the rivalry between them can light up a building

At the last count, Genevive Nnaji beat Omotola on twitter with an excess of 100,000; landing her with 380,000 followers with Omotola claiming 231,000 followers. Funny enough, even Tonto Dikeh, with all her ups and downs, has brushed off Omotola in the race, boasting a good 237,000 followers.

But isn’t  Omotola the one smiling home with all the awards these days? http://thenigeriatoday.net/popularity-contest-genevieve-floors-omotola-again/
