TRUE LIFE TESTIMONY OF REV DR. UMA UKPAI

“I was fasting for seven days when a man saw me and stopped me and said you are
going to be a preacher, you are going to have eight children but two will die in a motor
accident, you will go as far as building schools and you will cross all the continents of the
world.
Two months before I lost my two children in an accident, God has spoken to
me. God had told me on that day, Uma I won’t answer your prayers. I want to test you and
know how you love me. As early as 5.00 a.m. that morning, armed robbers came to my
office and removed all my office equipment and God said I should forgive them. My driver
carrying my children and a cousin drove into a river. I attempted to bring the children out,
not knowing that my wife also jumped into the river behind me and water carried her,
threw her up six times. It was at the seventh time that somebody called my attention to
her.
 I used one hand to swim and the other to hold her and brought her to shore. I
rescued the children later. They had died. because a child stays under water only for
two minutes. I put them in a car to pray for them, but an oncoming car from the opposite
direction drove into the car and smashed it. The bumper flew out, the bonnet flew out. I
stopped and I was pacing up and down, not knowing what to do next.
Just then, somebody ran to me, grabbed me and said my 50-sitter bus carrying my band had
caught fire. He was not sure how many people died in the accident. I was composed
because God had warned me. I didn’t make those children. God gave them to me.
Our problem is greed to hold on to those things we have. Even pastors go about talking about
their churches; no pastor has a church. They all belong to God. No matter what you went
through last year, no matter what the enemy dished out to you in the old year, today offers
you a fresh start”.
Rev . Dr. Uma is founder and President of Uma Ukpai Evangelistic Association Inc.

British lawyer snatched his son, four, from Austria and flew him by private jet to Channel Islands – where unmarried mothers have NO custody rights

A British man who kidnapped his son from his mother in Austria has revealed he took him to his home on the Channel Islands as the local laws do not give unmarried mothers right to custody for children born out of wedlock.
Millionaire lawyer Stefan Gomoll snatched his four-year-old son Caspar and took him by private jet to the island of Sark in October last year.
Mr Gomoll has been involved in a bitter custody row with Caspar’s mother Dominique Ruggaber, who is of German descent but living in Austria, where a local court awarded her sole custody last year.

Gomoll is a Sark resident and also a chairman of the island’s Finance and Commerce Committee.
In October last year, he visited Ms Ruggaber, from whom he has been separated since April 2012, in Baden, Lower Austria, demanding to see Caspar.
Ms Ruggaber allowed Mr Gomoll to take Caspar to a nearby playground under the premise that her father, Caspar’s maternal grandfather, accompanied them.
However, when the older man went to the bathroom, Mr Gomoll grabbed the boy and drove to the airport where he left on a private plane before police could act to put out an alert.    
Once back in Sark he filed an application for custody under the islands archaic laws, which state that as he and Ms Ruggaber never married, he is entitled to sole custody.
This is now to be heard at the Supreme Court in the Channel Islands, and until then the youngster has to remain in Sark.  
The mother’s lawyer Britta Schönhart said: ‘The father has appealed the decisions which have so far been in the mother’s favour, but until the final ruling nothing counts.
‘Until that happens the mother and child are not allowed to leave the island. It is difficult because the financial resources are not unlimited and she now has to stay in Sark.’  
Mr Gomoll and Ms Ruggaber split in April 2012 and she returned to Austria to live with the child near her parents in Baden.
In February last year, Ms Ruggaber returned to the Channel Islands, but left again in August after Mr Gomoll threatened to send Caspar to boarding school.
Mr Gomoll faces child abduction charges in Austria and the prosecutor in Wiener Neustadt is investigating the case.
As both Caspar’s passports, he has joint German and British nationality, were with Ms Ruggaber when he was seized, Austrian police are also investigating how Mr Gomoll managed to get the boy onto the plane without a passport.

"24" Starts Filming In London — See Chloe’s Dramatic Makeover!

A lot has changed in 4 years.
The stars of “24: Live Another Day” were seen filming their upcoming Fox miniseries in London on Wednesday — where one of them looked like a totally different person.
Yep, that Lisbeth Salander-looking lady is none other than Mary Lynn Rajskub, better known as CTU analyst Chloe O’Brian.
With a dramatically different haircut, piercings, tattoos, intense makeup and a black leather outfit, Rajskub was seen avoiding an explosion with Kiefer Sutherland.
It’s unclear whether her character is just in disguise or if this is indeed her new look, but Mary Lynn recently opened up about how Chloe has changed for the new episodes.
“When you find Chloe, she’s just somewhere we’ve never seen her before. She’s in a bad, bad spot,” the actress tells E!. “I’ve gone anti-government and when Jack and I are finally reunited, we’re not seeing eye-to-eye.”
What do you think of the makeover? See how different she looked just days ago at the Fox TCAs in Los Angeles:

Kirikiri Prisons Life Jail Inmate Earns Bachelor’s Degree

A middle aged man, Tuwanse Kabiru serving life sentence in kirikiri, on Saturday graduated with 4,308 students at the 3rd convocation of the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), in Lagos.

Kabiru was sentenced to life imprisonment after he was found guilty of m****r. The prisoner who came in company of the prison officials was awarded a Bachelors degree (BA) in Human Resource Management.

“I want to thank God for what he is doing in my life. I have always had hope in God and that is what inspired me to enroll . I was actually imprisoned after being found guilty of committing m****r and I have served 11 years so far.

I am still hopeful that things will turnaround one day for the better having achieved what I have today,” he said.

The Assistant Controller-General Nigeria Prisons, Chuks Afejue, hailed the courage displayed by the graduating inmate, saying he was the first to enroll and kick start academic activities at the prisons study centre.

According to him, this will prove to people that the prison is not just a dumping ground for those who seem not to have any more hope.

“The prison is a place where reforms and rehabilitation take place. Currently, we have a total of 48 inmates who are enrolled in all the four major prisons study centres across the country.

“It is an exciting exercise and we want to seize this opportunity to plead with the Federal government to try and temper justice with mercy, having achieved this feat. He pleaded on behalf of Tuwanse.

jealous actress jailed for seven years for using her car ‘as a weapon’ to mow down her ex-boyfriend and his partner at 30mph

An aspiring actress has been jailed for seven years after she mounted a pavement and used her car ‘as a weapon’ to plough into her former lover and his partner.

Sonita Claire smashed into Kevin O’Neill – the father of her child – and Mary Jane Kimble at 30mph, hitting them from behind as they walked hand-in-hand on a busy Derby street.

The couple were thrown onto the roof of Claire’s Ford Fiesta before falling to the road 40 yards from where they were struck.

Mr O’Neill, 38, suffered a broken neck fractured vertebrae in his neck and a broken collar bone, while 33-year-old Miss Kimble sustained multiple cuts to her head and face and a broken collar bone.

Both were knocked unconscious and left in pools of blood.

Nottingham Crown Court heard they have since made good recoveries from their injuries, but neither has any recollection of what happened.

Judge Michael Stokes QC, sentencing, told Claire: ‘Heaven has no rage like love turned to hatred, nor hell a woman like a woman scorned.’

He said the 28-year-old, whose profile is still available on acting directory The Casting Website, that she had committed a ‘wicked’ offence, adding: ‘You had no control ove

‘This is a very unusual, if not bizarre, case. You were driven by a combination of jealousy and revenge.’

The judge said that Claire ‘couldn’t cope’ with the fact her ex-partner ‘preferred another woman’, and that her actions had been brought on by ‘obsession and jealousy’.

The court heard how Claire, kitchen worker Mr O’Neill, and Miss Kimble had been caught in a ‘love triangle’ which had left Claire ‘bitter and hurt’.

David Allan, prosecuting, said Mr O’Neill and Miss Kimble were going out together in 2004 when he had a short ‘fling’ with Claire.

A year later he split from Miss Kimble and re-kindled his relationship with Claire – who gave birth to his son in 2006.

But their relationship broke down last year, and Mr O’Neill and Miss Kimble got back together.

Mr Allan said that in the days before the offence Claire had confronted her former lover and hit him with an umbrella. She also contacted Miss Kimble and threatened to run her over.

The hearing was told Claire followed through on her threat at 4.15pm October 6 last year. She targeted the couple as they strolled through Chester Green in Derby, using her car as a ‘weapon’.

As she ploughed into Mr O’Neill and Miss Kimble, one witness described Claire as ‘totally expressionless and straight-faced, as though she was doing nothing wrong’.

Mr Allan said several mothers with young children in pushchairs saw the horrific incident, after which Claire sped off. She handed herself in at a police station later that day.

Claire, of Derby, pleaded not guilty to attempted murder, which was accepted by the prosecution, but admitted two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent.

Stuart Newsam, defending, said Claire, who has no previous convictions, had been made ‘vulnerable by emotional strain’ and on the day of the attack had been ‘deeply upset’ because Mr O’Neill had cancelled an appointment to see their son.

Claire, who was also banned from driving for seven years, showed no emotion when she was sentenced.

After the case, Detective Constable Annie Vernon, of Derbys Police, said: ‘This is the first case I’ve dealt with where the weapon used was a motor vehicle as opposed to a fist or knife. In my experience it’s fairly rare.’
