ITS REAL AND HAPPENING........

A TRUE LIFE STORY

  A woman was pregnant of her second child. During the pregnancy, the sister-in-law(the elder sister of her husband) told her to her face, "if you happen to deliver, you will be sweeping the hospital because you won't be able to come back." When her labour started, the husband took her to the hospital by himself and promised to come back shortly. She was in labour till night and the husband had not showed up as he promised neither did he call her to know of her welfare. Towards evening the management of the hospital told her that they want to transfer her to another hospital that they can't handle her case. In response, she told them to wait till her pastor comes. With that,
she put a call through to me, but I told her we'll come to see her after the service that evening(becausewe had bible study that evening).

After the service, we went to see her. On getting there, she told us what they told her in the hospital. So we joinded our faith with hers, prayed and I anointed her. Within 20-30 minutes she delivered a baby boy: Mother alive, baby alive, but her husband was no where to be found. Two days gone after the delivery yet the husband had not returned neither did he call, and the hospital refused to discharge her. When the sister-in-law visited her in the hospital she reminded her of what she told her when she was pregnant. On the 3rd day of her delivery while I was asleep in the night, I had a dream and in the dream, a woman told me, "you've made her to deliver, you will marry her," and I woke up, shared it with my wife and we prayed ordering the husband to return home. In the morning, he came back and they were discharged. When asked where he's been all the while, he said "something kept telling me to keep going and not to come back home. It was last night I remembered my wife in the hospital." When the sister-in-law met with her brother she asked him, "which church did she take you to now?"
 
PRAYER POINTS:
1.) Oh God my Father, frustrate every effort of my enemies and let not the will of my enemies come to pass in my life in the name of Jesus.
2.) I cancel evil decree issued against me in the name of Jesus.
3.) I scatter and destroy whatever has been done against me in the name of Jesus.

Victor Attah, who was a member of PDP Board of Trustees, said he would be playing the role of an elder statesman to “continue to serve this country with love, strength, and faith”.
The former governor said the PDP did not stick to the ideals of democracy, and said for the party to bounce back it must stop looking for who to blame, and reorder its ways along the aims and ideals of its founding fathers.

Akwa Ibom Tribunal: PDP's Defense Suffers Setback Due To Lack Of Credible Witnesses

Sources have said that the PDP are frantically prepping lackluster witnesses after the realization that much of their testimony would not hold up to scrutiny.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which is the second Respondent in the Akwa Ibom State Governorship Election Tribunal, on Wednesday September 9, suffered a setback on its second day at the Tribunal.

Former Akwa Ibom Gov. Godswill Akpabio
When their case was called Mr. Tayo Oyetibo, the counsel to the PDP, informed the Tribunal that they have no witnesses for the day because the persons they expected to call in their defense are yet to arrive from Akwa Ibom State. He requested that the matter be adjourned to Thursday 10th September, 2015.
The other parties did not oppose the application. However Mr. Dayo Akinlaja submitted that the second Respondent should not expect any extension of time due to their inability to present witnesses. The Tribunal agreed with him, and restated that whatever the Respondents wish to do must be within the 14 days period allotted to them for defense.
However, reliable sources within the PDP revealed that the PDP actually has other witnesses in Abuja, but that the Party was in serious confusion following the shameful outing of the first four witnesses they called on Tuesday. One witness practically supported the case of the Petitioners, Mr. Umana Okon Umana and the All Progressives Congress (APC), that there was no election in the State.
Sources have said that the PDP are frantically prepping lackluster witnesses after the realization that much of their testimony would not hold up to scrutiny.
The Tribunal hearings, which has attracted national attention, will continue on Thursday September 10, 2015.

Nigeria international goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama is still “shattered and devastated” following the death of his mother.
The Super Eagles captain sat out Nigeria’s last two internationals, against Tanzania and Niger Republic, as a result but is billed to return for October’s fixtures against Congo DR and Cameroon.
Enyeama also missed Lille OSC’s Ligue 1 fixture against Montpellier which Les Dogues won 2-0 on Friday.
The Nigeria captain is currently in his hometown, Akwa Ibom, where his mother will be laid to rest on Saturday and the 33-year-old took the time to pay his last respects.
“I am shattered and devastated because my mother was my pillar. She was full of life and showed no signs of illness before she died so this is quite difficult to take,” the goalkeeper told supersport.com.

Chelsea give Mourinho 'full support'

---

05 October 2015, 14:39

Premier League champions Chelsea have given their full backing to under-fire manager Jose Mourinho following the team's torrid start to the season.
After Saturday's surprise 3-1 home defeat by Southampton, the Portuguese said the Londoners would have to sack him because he would not be quitting.
"The club wants to make it clear that Jose continues to have our full support," read a brief statement on their official website (www.chelseafc.com) on Monday.
"As Jose has said himself, results have not been good enough and the team's performances must improve. However, we believe that we have the right manager to turn this season around and that he has the squad with which to do it."
