ypzilanti: Like guy, are you smoking something? When did airplane become helicopter? Besides 6 people are on the helicopter and he said 9-12, implying a private jet. Beside, why do all these prophecies have to be so hazy and dependent on so many factors? Seriously, a christian should pray everyday against all calamities and stop all these prophecy search.
While I don't hold brief to TBJ, I'm not his fan either, but we all know the man's English, can a plane carry just 9-12 people? Think!
Anyway RIP to the dead, I wish this story was not true.

Crime › Top Government Officials, Politicians Contract Us – Sea Pirates by wellmax(op): 10:16pm On Dec 12, 2012
The Task Force Team constituted by the Nigerian Maritime And Safety Administration Agency (NIMASA), to checkmate the menace of  attacks on vessels  on the nation’s waterways, recently arrested four suspected members of a dreaded gang of vessel hijackers on both the Nigeria waters and neighboring West African countries’ waters.

But to the great surprise is — the suspects displayed an unrepentant and nonchalant attitude towards their arrest, bragging instead.

In their confessional statement, it was observed  that the war against illegal bunkering and attacks on vessels on the nation’s waterways by the federal government, may never be won unless urgent and stringent measures, beyond mere political statements are taken to checkmate this worrisome trend.

This is because two of the  suspects identified as Bless Nube and Sola Sam, alleged that key players in the political and government corridors were their sponsors. Aside this alarming revelation is  the temptation of the huge amount each member of the gang gets at the end of a successful vessel hijack.

According to the 27-year-old Bless, who claimed to be the commander of the  dreaded syndicate, “  I have nothing to hide again. I am the gang’s commander and  I am second to none in terms of hitting targets. Even Wazo, earlier arrested, is my boy and he can attest to what I am saying”…

He kept mute for a while and when he continued, he said, “ I can’t remember how many operations I have led, I have lost count of the number of vessels my gang  hijacked”.


*Suspected Pirates
I made N10 Million from the last operation

He confessed to have led his team to several operations some of which took place in the African continent’s territorial waters. One of such hijacks took place in  Lome, the capital of Togo,involving  the vessel, MT Energy Centurion. Hear him: “ The last vessel we hijacked was in Lome, Togo and I made N10 Million from that operation”. To the amazement of all, he revealed, “ that particular operation was sponsored  by some powerful people in Nigeria whose names  I will not want to mention… Some of them are even in the Presidency.

Government Officials are our informants

He disclosed further that some top government officials usually gave his gang information on vessels before it struck. “  We do not work in isolation. We have a network of ministries’ workers. What they do is to give us information on the location and content of  the vessels to be hijacked.  After furnishing us with  the information, they would make  part payment and after the hijack, they would  pay us  the balance.

“Once we complete the assignment , we would  inform the pointsmen who thereafter, contact the cabal that   takes charge of the hijacked vessels.  We usually meet at a  designated point on the high sea, from where  they would offload the contents from the hijacked vessels and thereafter, deposit them in various oil facilities for distribution by oil marketers.

“We are not directly  involved in the sale of the product. We only assist to convey the product to the designated point by acting as escorts in case of any confrontation.   My gang has about 3000 various weapons which are kept in different parts of the country”, he stated. But he did not say where the weapons were precisely.

We kill during hijack

He likened the operation on the high sea to a theatre of war, saying “at times our victims are killed in the process.  This is usually when the crew members try to put up resistance”, he said, adding that sometimes,the crew members who  were armed  opened fire on the gang thereby leading to a shoot-out, during which some of them  were killed.  “ So far we have about 1250 trained pirates across the country. And  the truth is, no successful  vessel hijack operation takes place in Africa without the knowledge of my gang.’’

Piracy is a lucrative business

Asked why he had not left the illicit business for a genuine one, he said he was carried away by the huge amount of money made on each operation which usually runs into several millions of naira.

“The code name for piracy is COJA and it is very lucrative just as it is dangerous because one may be confronted by security agents in the process,  or even get arrested as I am now. But it will be difficult for the president to win the war. If he must win, then he has to look inward. Lagos state for instance, is a   major coastal place where we meet to discuss on our next target . So, government must first search its big men if it is serious in  winning the war”.

I begged to be enlisted into the gang- Sam

Also arrested was   Sola Sam, who claimed he was tempted to join the gang because of the huge amount of money they received. Preliminary investigation  revealed that Sam was initially the gang’s errand boy.

“But I had to plead with them to enlist me into vessel hijacking when I saw the money they made on each operation. Whenever they were sharing their loot, they would give me just a token. So, I begged them before Bless agreed to enlist me into the group”, recalling  that “his first operation with the gang fetched him the sum of N2.7 million, out of which he bought a new car.”

I was deceived -Olu Ade

On his part, the third suspect,  28-year-old Olu Ade, claimed he was deceived into joining the gang.

Hear him, “ It all happened in November 2011, when I was called to carry out repair  on the  engine of a vessel in Ondo state. But on reaching there, the gang members  told me their plan and I could not go back because I was scared they would kill me.

“They took me into a vessel and I watched them arrest  the crew members  on board. We thereafter, discharged 2000 metric tons from the vessel named MT ROSTARS. After that, another vessel came to receive the product. The receiving vessel’s name was CLEAN. After the transaction,  we moved  to Ondo State and lodged at Wazo’s house to collect the money for the transaction  and at the end  I was paid N1.8 million”

On receiving the money, Olu travelled to Lagos state from  where he intended processing a visa to study in Ukraine. But he was  reportedly swindled.

Crime Alert gathered that they were arrested in a hotel in Festac Town, while  planning for another operation in Cotonou, Benin Republic.

Arrested at last

Bless and members of his gang have been having sway for a long time until they were arrested in a hotel in Festac Town in Amuwo odofin Local Government  area of Lagos. Bless as gathered was in the company of some sex workers in the hotel when he was  apprehended.

The gang as gathered, was at the final stage of its  preparation for an attack on a vessel in Cotonou before they were arrested.

The first person to be arrested as gathered was Sam.   He was reportedly lured to Lagos, on the pretext that there would be a meeting prior to the operation. Unknown to him, the call was made by a security operative. Next, was Mike, who reportedly called Sam on his mobile  phone to know his whereabouts. He was again lured to a designated place in Lagos, only to fall into the arms of the security operatives  and thereafter, Olu.

The gang confessed that the foiled operation was contracted to them by a top player in the oil industry for the sum of N16 Million.

Interestingly, this is the same city your so-called progressive ACN have ruled for 13yrs.
Little wonder then that everyone want τ̅☺ come or be assoicated with Lagos. You see, Lagos was rated as such not becos its so bad, al least you know that, but because its among those reviewed. Volks Wagen Bitus is a chaep car, but you don't see it on the list of cheap cars. Wake up from your slumber, the world only knows Lagos and Abuja, if they know your town, it will be the worst τ̅☺ live in in history.

Beretta92: u're d one who's not being sincere.it's clear dat yr bias is having a better part of u.hw can u say deeper life members don't see other xtians as sinners? d majority of deeper life members bliv dey hv some kind of esoteric knowledge which others dont hv n dey use every opportunity dey get 2 reaffirm dis. Their attitude can b maladorous n irritating at times.dey always make jestful n disparaging comments about "other churches" in their gatherings.it's simply sick!
Its sad that the ones you know or met are like that. The ones I know are not all like that.
Let's leave matter n take a cup of lemonade.
Its the couple's decision to dress that way and its ok if they are cool with it. Both of us are taking too much panadol for another man's headache.

@ sweetlenon,While I'm still waiting for you to admit your lies, let's deal with this one. You overheard someone, did you listen to the message yourself? I did and it wasn't repentance Äπϑ Depperlife never sees other christians as sinners. I'd said it before, there is always a judas among the twelve, you don't condemn all cos of one bad egg. Btw I'm only an ex-deeper lifer, my peeps are still there, we live in the same house, and there is mutual respect. We share the word together and 'sharpen' ourselves. I invite them to my programs, they come Äπϑ I attend theirs too.
Like you siad, let's leave mata

Really let's leave matter cos you are such a dum head giving false tales and you know you are lieing. Pastor Kumuyi was a guest preacher @ a previous Holy Ghost convention, apart from those born there, everyone else in Deeperlife came from some churches. No one will prevent anyone from attending other churches, yes, you might prefer they attend Deeperlife with you, but never to the extent of beating them up if they don't attend. Admitit brov, you are lieing.

If this is your level of reasoning then you have a long way to go brov, tell me which church, religion, or aspect of our life that doesn't habour hypocrites? Cos you have one bad guy in your area doesn't make all of them bad. Never ever generalize.

Not trying to go into much details so as not to derail, but the Bible give commands with an option to obey and get the blessings or reject and get punishments hereafter. It says 'I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live. Deut 30:9
