Meet the Anointed Man of God Who Receives Phone Calls From God and Has His Direct Number (Photo)

Pastor Paul Sanyangore 

A controversial pastor has left many people shocked after he revealed that he receives phone calls from God. Pastor Paul Sanyangore shocked his congregation members in Zimbabwe on Sunday when he said that he has a direct line which he can call the ‘heavens’ and get instructions on how to help his followers.

He further revealed according to H-metrothat on Sunday he got a call during his church service at Kingstons House in the capital for help.


“I have a direct channel, actually I have His number and I can call Him when need arises,” he said while responding to questions on a video doing rounds on social media yesterday on which he was prophesying on a congregant while on the phone.

He addressed the person on the other end of the call as the ‘heaven’ and God – prophesying on a certain lady, telling her of her background. ‘Doubting Thomases’ who spoke to H-Metro argued that the preacher could have been on the line with someone with information on the woman.

He responded, “It is possible to talk to God, while would you doubt that I got a call from him? I actually have a direct line which I can call Him and get instructions on how to proceed. I got this when I was praying and I heard a voice telling me to call direct,” he said.

“I got instructions on the phone on what to do or say and that is what happened on Sunday. If the heavens spoke to Abraham why not us? You are of little faith and people will always have doubts while others are being delivered,” he said.

“I know people say whatever they want, some might feel it is a publicity stunt and it is all fine. We don’t do things for publicity; what will we get from that?” he queried.

The preacher, who is in the process of forming a television channel, said he will actually launch a session titled ‘Heaven Online’.

“You will actually see more of this. We are hoping that we will be on TV this year and we will actually have a session called ‘Heaven Online’,” he said.

Serious Trouble! Boko Haram Recruits 2000 Child Soldiers

Boko Haram soldiers arrested by security operatives 

The terrorist Boko Haram group recruited about 2,000 children in 2016 and used them as child soldiers, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has said.

UNICEF Executive Director, Anthony Lake, disclosed this on Tuesday as global leaders gather in Paris on the anniversary of the Paris Commitments to end the use of children in conflict. Lake said estimates indicated that tens of thousands under the age of 18 were being used in conflicts worldwide.


According to the UNICEF chief, exact data on the number of children used and recruited in armed conflict is difficult to ascertain because of the unlawful nature of child recruitment.

“For instance, since 2013 an estimated 17,000 children have been recruited in South Sudan and up to 10,000 have been recruited in the Central African Republic (CAR). “Similarly, nearly 2,000 children were recruited by Boko Haram, in Nigeria and neighbouring countries, last year alone, and there have been nearly 1,500 cases of child recruitment in Yemen since the conflict escalated in March 2015.

“We cannot give up the fight to end child recruitment,” the UNICEF chief said.

According to him, even though over the past 10 years, more than 65,000 children have been released from armed forces and armed groups, tens of thousands of boys and girls under the age of 18 continue to be used in conflicts around the world.

“It is not only about looking back at what has been accomplished – but looking forward to the work that remains to be done to support the children of war,” he said.

Adopted 10 years ago, the Paris Commitments, together with the Paris Principles and Guidelines, lay out guidance for protecting children from recruitment and use by armed forces or armed groups.

The Paris Agreement also assists the release of child soldiers and their reintegration, with other vulnerable children affected by armed conflict in their communities.

“There has also been progress: since it was adopted, the number of countries endorsing the Paris commitments has nearly doubled from 58 countries in 2007 to 105 at present, signalling an increasing global commitment to end the use of children in conflict. “Globally, more than 65,000 children have been released from armed forces and armed groups, including 20,000 in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

“Nearly 9,000 in the Central African Republic; and over 1,600 children in Chad. But more needs to be done,” the UNICEF chief said.

According to him, seeking to build on the current momentum, the Paris International Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Children in Armed Conflicts is urging for unconditional release of all children – without exception – and putting an end to child recruitment.

“It is also calling for increased resources to help reintegrate and educate children who have been released, and urgent action to protect internally displaced children, child refugees and migrants. “As long as children are still affected by the fighting, we cannot give up the fight for the children,” Lake added.

Woman Steals Two-month-old Baby in Lagos...Find Out What Happened Next

Photo used for illustrative purposes only 

A kidnap-suspect, Yetunde Awosanya, 35, was on Tuesday arraigned at an Ebute Meta Chief Magistrates’ Court in Lagos for allegedly stealing a two-month-old baby.

The accused was brought before Magistrate A.T. Elias on a charge of stealing a child which she pleaded not guilty to.


The prosecutor, Sgt. Kehinde Omisakin, said that the accused committed the offence on February 2, at about 4 p.m., at Rentothen House, Topa in Badagry Area of Lagos. She told the court that the accused stole two months’ old Qudus Adebowale but she could not give a satisfactory explanation on how she got hold of him.

The prosecutor said that the offence committed by the accused contravened Section 275 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.

The magistrate had adjourned the case till February 27 for ruling.

Cases of child theft had been on the increase in recent years. In 2015, one Chinasa Ajunwo, 22, was paraded at the Rivers State Police Headquarters, Moscow Road, Port Harcourt for conniving with her husband to steal five-year-old Michael Michael .

Evelyn, Michael’s mother, said that her son had lived with his suspected kidnapper for three months, stressing that he was declared missing on April 17, 2015.

Also, a 20-month-old Opeyemi Ogundele was reportedly stolen during a naming ceremony in Abeokuta. The incident happened at Mile 2, Iyana Concord, Akorede Estate, Ilugun Inukosegba Community in Abeokuta North Local Government Area of the state.

Elizabeth Ogundele, 26, mother of the toddler, said she was getting ready for her niece’s naming ceremony when she discovered her son was missing. The then state Commissioner of Police, Abdulmajid Ali, confirmed the incident and said that investigations were ongoing.

The case of the family of Mr and Mrs Leke Orekoya whose three children aged six years four years and 11 months were stolen in April 2015 would remain a constant reminder of this criminal activity for residents of Lagos State. In April 2015, the Imo State Police Command burst a child-stealing syndicate, believed to be responsible for the reported thefts and child-trafficking cases in the state.

Single Nollywood Actresses Now Visit Movie Locations without 'Pants'

Uche Maduagwu 

Popular actor in the Nigerian film industry, Uche Maduagwu who has been regarded as the voyeur of the entertainment sector has accused most single Nigerian actresses of not wearing their panties to movie locations.

Read his short piece as shared on his Instagram page below:


Why is it that most female Nollywood Actresses who are single No longer Wear 'PANTS' to movie locations? This is giving me headaches. Is it that most female celebrities, especially Nollywood actresses who are single have developed the habit of not wearing pants to movie locations? I can tell you of 4 different star actresses I had personally confirmed, and this is really giving me headaches because, aside the very fact that it is suspicious, its also disgusting.

That's why most of our directors are always losing concentration when they are directing on set, the worst is that these group of actresses are fond of spreading their legs wide unnecessarily just to seduce fellow actors and directors. Their aim and motives are what I am yet to understand, that's how I walked out of a shoot in Asaba when one actress was just misbehaving on set, someone said she just finished smoking marijuana, but that's not my own business, I am an actor and not her doctor, but what I frown at is when someone is opening her legs any how and misbehaving in the middle of a shoot, distracting both the directors, actors and crews, that's what I can't stand, if we want to shoot a movie, let's be professional and let's not turn movie locations into strip clubs.

May God deliver us in this industry, some people are just here to play around, they are the very few giving nollywood a bad name.

Governor Fayose Finally Decides to Visit Buhari in London...See Interesting Details

Governor Ayodele Fayose 

Governor Ayodele Fayose is prepared to be a rare guest at the Abuja House in London to see the ailing Nigerian leader and All Progressives Congress chieftain, President Muhammadu Buhari who has been away in the United Kingdom for over a month on medical grounds.

According to the Punch, the Ekiti State Governor claims that he is willing to visit Buhari in the United Kingdom if he does not return soon.

He, however, said the PDP governors belong to the Nigerian Governors' Forum and would take instructions from the governors’ body.


He said, “PDP or APC governors’ forum is merely political. We all belong to the NGF and we will go by the decision of the governors’ forum. As a person, and speaking for the PDP governors, we support the call to visit the President in the UK.

“The health of the President should not be politicised. Anybody can fall sick, whether old or young. The President’s handlers are the ones causing confusion and creating room for rumours. They should have told Nigerians what was wrong with the President.

“We pray for the President to be strong so that he can return home on time to perform the functions Nigerians elected him to perform. “It doesn’t matter what party is in government, constructive criticisms should not amount to wishing anybody dead. We wish our President well and our prayers are with him. And as a party, the PDP wishes the President well.”

It should be noted that the Buhari-led government is currently investigating Mr. Fayose for corruption and electoral fraud leading to unsettled scores and long feud between both parties.

The Cross River State Governor, Prof. Ben Ayade, also said that there was nothing wrong if PDP governors chose to visit Buhari in the UK.

Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Christian Ita, who spoke on behalf of his boss, said as President of Nigeria, there should be no special political colouration of such a visit.

He said, “If the PDP governors are going to visit the President as a group, Ayade will not be opposed to it because President Buhari is the President of all Nigerians irrespective of political affiliation. Again, you know that Ayade has a special relationship with the President.”

Also, the Governor of Ondo State, Dr. Olusegun Mimiko, said there was nothing wrong if any governor decided to visit the President. Mimiko, who spoke through the state’s Commissioner for Information, Mr. Kayode Akinmade, said nobody prayed for the President to die.

He said, “Nobody is happy about the present condition of Mr. President and if anybody wants to show him love by visiting him in London, it is not bad.”

Similarly, the Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, on Friday said it was needless for anybody to politicise the alleged ill-health of President Buhari.

Okowa, who is a member of the PDP, spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, stating that it was the duty of all Nigerians to pray for the good health of their leaders irrespective of his political party or religion.

He enjoined Nigerians to pray for the quick recovery and return of President Buhari so that he could fix the daunting challenges facing the country.

So Heartbreaking: Meet the Nigerian Pastor Who is Addicted to Torturing His Kids (Graphic Photos)

Christopher Sule and his battered kids 

The story of the 40-year old pastor who beats his two children so brutally with cable, leaving severe marks all over their body continues to elicit widespread condemnation, as the man at the centre of it all has now been arrested in Jos by the officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in collaboration with Social Welfare Department of Jos South Local Government of Plateau State.

The pastor known as Christopher Sule who has engaged in this bestial act for a period of three years is said to be chaplain in Bima a private hospital and also claimed to be a Pastor with ECWA Bishara (1) Bukuru and currently pursuing a Master’s degree at Jos ECWA Theological Seminary in Plateau State.


He hails from Wamba Local Government of Nassarawa State and has been handed over to the Nigerian Police Force in Jos Saturday Telegraph checks show that the pastor regularly beat his two daughters, ages eight and six, as as a result of their inability to recite what they were taught in school as well as stealing meat from the pot of soup at home due to his excessive anger.

However the management of the children’s school last week noticed several lacerations on their bodies as result of thee severe beating over a minor issue and the school quickly reported the incident to the NSCDC in Jos South Local Government secretariat and the father was apprehended for interrogation.

Wife of the pastor, Mrs Racheal Christopher, 35, and an NCE Holder teaching in one of the primary schools in Bukuru had also received a share of the treatment for coming to the rescue of her daughters. The pathetic story of the two female children is heart wrenching given the extent of the injuries inflicted on them.

While narrating their ordeal to Saturday Telegraph in Jos, the mother could not hold back tears as she recounted the constant beating and harassment she and her daughters had endured.

“For the past three years, we have been in bondage and under the yoke of maltreatment by my husband who under slight provocation would descend on me and the children and beat us to pulp. I had reported the issue to my family but my husband would always ask for forgiveness with a promise not to do so again,” she said.

“My husband was arrested and taken to the local government secretariat; although he had been beating them the last one was so terrible that I had to struggle with him to rescue the children. But I got the beating of my life in the process. The beating has become so rampant that the people in the neighbourhood no longer intervene,” she claimed.

She revealed that she had threatened several times to park out of her matrimonial home along with her children but was often prevailed upon by family members to stay for the sake of the kids and to pray for her husband to turn a new leaf.

She added: “It is like my husband is under a spell or spiritual attack. After my husband carried out this evil act, he always came back, pleading and telling me to pray for him because he did not know what came upon him. We have fasted and prayed together over this issue.”

While speaking Saturday Telegraph on the circumstances leading to his action, Sule said he could not justify his action and confessed that he flogged his daughters more than the offence they committed. “I don’t know what really came upon me; although I had been beating them that way for the past three years I always regretted my action.

By nature I am temperamental and also have excessive anger, but I need deliverance,” he said.

The pastor who couldn’t control his tears, admitted beating his daughters and told Saturday Telegraph in Jos that he flogged them when they could not recollect what they were taught in school and also for stealing meat in the soup. He pleaded for mercy, promising to love his children.

Chief Social Welfare Officer of Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State where the incident was reported, Mr Ancha Adik Jonathan, told Saturday Telegraph in his office in Jos that the arrest of the pastor followed a tip off by the management of the school the two children attended after the discovery of several injuries on the children by the head teacher.

He said: “The head teacher of Salvation Kingdom Academy the school the children attend noticed the injuries of the beating and alerted us at the Social Welfare department because she an advocate of child protection.

Following her information and based on the child right law that had been domesticated in Plateau State we had to immediately request the service of the men of NSCDC to arrest the man, and even when we got to his house we discovered he also locked his daughter who is just over a year in a room and went to the bush to look for firewood without minding what will happen to the child.

“So, the magnitude of his offence was too heavy and we had to immediately take over the custody of his three children including his wife because there is Christian Centre called Queens that we are collaborate with on issues of child abuse and other family related issues.”

Mr. Jonathan disclosed that the pastor worships with ECWA Bishara in Bukuru where he had preached on several occasions.

“We will ensure that the man face the full wrath of the law to serve as deterrence to all other persons in the society; already he had been handed over to the Police and very soon he will be charged to court” he said.

The Management Committee Chairman of Jos North Local Government, Comrade Augustine Pwakim, who confirmed the incident, said the council would henceforth collaborate with Child Protection Agency and State Ministry of Women Affairs to enlighten parents on the danger of child abuse.

Comrade Pwakim said Pastor Christopher had been handed to relevant law enforcement agencies for prosecution to serve as a deterrence to others.

Meanwhile the Plateau State Coordinator Child right Protection Network Mr Tony Obemeasor has given assurance that the children will be taken to hospital for checkup and treatment for trauma as result of the repeated beatings.
