While currency can often seem as though it’s quite a simple thing to comprehend, it can often be much more complicated than people might imagine. This is chiefly driven by the fact that the majority of us only see the small picture. We typically focus on how much money we have in the bank and how much we have to spend.

Pastor Adeboye Releases Dangerous Prayer Over Alleged N6billion Paid to Pastors by PDP
Pastor E.A Adeboye has sent out a curse over allegations by Governor Rotimi Amaechi yesterday, claiming that some pastors were paid about N6 billion. The money was supposed given to them by PDP to discredit the APC and its presidential candidate, Buhari, and ensure they tell church members to vote Jonathan based on religion. The revered head pastor of RCCG worldwide is not standing for the report, and shared the message below on his verified Facebook account;
I Read in the Newspaper this morning that one of the serving Governors in Nigeria said that some Pastor(S) in Nigeria collected 6 Billion Naira from politicians for the purpose of influencing their members to vote a certain candidate in the coming Elections.
May I humbly request that if there be any Pastor(S) who collected such money they should please return such as quickly as possible before the fire of the almighty consumes you

Pictures of Nigerian Man Buried in Hummer Go Viral
A Kenyan Twitter User posted these pictures earlier today saying the owner of the car decided to be buried in his hummer. When asked, she claims it happened in Nigeria. Really? My wildest guess would be that it is a clip from a Nollywood flick. As you can see the hole is not even deep enough for the jeep and the end where the friends standing look like an incline.
More discussion followed on Twitter as others joined to diss Nigerians. I know we love money and showing off, but surely not like this?
See more below and share what you think, did this really happen? Did you see it in a nolly movie, and what is the title?

Kerry Washington Talks About Financial Abuse Through The Purple Purse Campaign
Kerry Washington has joined the conversation about domestic violence, and she is focusing on an area of control and power that is often-overlooked. Kerry says the top reason why women stay in abusive relationships is financial abuse, and I think I agree with her. She said this in an interview with The Huffington Post;
"It's the reason why so many people stay. That whole hashtag #WhyIStayed that happened last week, you saw how many of those responses were about feeling trapped financially.
Kerry is the ambassador and spokeswoman for the Allstate Foundation, which runs an initiative called “Purple Purse” to raise awareness of domestic abuse. She says;

On How To Spot A Stingy Guy - Must A Guy Spend On His Girlfriend?
Toke Makinwa spoke on the issue of stingy men in her weekly Vlog where she gave women pointers for identifying a stingy guy. I agree that being stingy is not a desirable trait in both men and women, and a giving spirit encourages one to reciprocate, but when Toke repeats several times, "a stingy man is bad for business", I wonder, what business are we talking about, are you a prostitute?
Toke goes on to say;
He might be rich but “Is that money in circulation?... A stingy man is not the way forward, a stingy man is bad for business....some guys are so stingy that if you want to collect money from them, it's like squeezing a rock to bring out water..... a proper gentleman doesn't let a lady ask him for stuffs cos he knows she needs 'em...when a lady is scratching her hair, it's a sign for him to know that she needs to change her hair...Ladies if a man is not giving you money, close your LEGS!"
Again, I'm baffled. Close your legs? Must money from your romantic partner equate to sex? Are stuffs like fake hair, cars, bling, or restaurant outings, the only things women want from men? Should a guy even give his working girlfriend raw cash or gifts? Makes it look like an aristo arrangement.
For me, some things are more important than money in terms of being in a genuine relationship. These are support and understanding, respect and tolerance, and the spirit of compromise. Anyways, watch Toke's video below....

Court Freezes Accounts of Aliko Dangote's Younger Brother and Dansa Foods In 20 Banks
Aliko Dangote's younger brother, Sani Dangote, has had all his accounts frozen due to non-payment of bank loans. A Federal High Court in Lagos yesterday ordered 20 Commercial banks in Nigeria to dishonour all withdrawal cheques from Sani Dangote and his companies, Dansa Foods Limited and Bulk Pack Services Limited from September 4th until the 11th.
Punch reports that the high court judge, Justice Okon Abang, gave the order while presiding over a case brought against Dangote by Union Bank. Union Bank had dragged him and his companies to court over alleged refusal to pay up the N5.2bn loan granted his company since September, 2008.
The bank, through its lawyer, Mr. Chukwudi Enebeli had instituted suits seeking an order of mareva injunction to restrain all the defendants’ banks in Nigeria, from allowing Mr Dangote and his companies to withdraw funds from their accounts pending the determination of the suits.
Mismanagement of UK Church Funds Behind Pastor Chris And Anita's Marriage Troubles?
Money problems may be behind the imminent breakup of the marriage between popular mega-church pastor, Chris Oyakhilome, and his wife, Anita. According to a new report on Premium Times, the United Kingdom Charity Commission is investigating the UK branch of Christ Embassy over controversial payments.
The United Kingdom Charity Commission has launched a probe into the transfer of at least N941 million (£3.6 million) by the church to overseas entities between 2008 and 2012.
In a statement on Wednesday, the Charity Commission said it has opened a statutory inquiry to investigate Christ Embassy over “a number of serious concerns relating to the use of charitable funds, in particular large connected party payments and the potential misapplication of grant funding.”
According to the Charity Commission, which is the regulator of charities in England and Wales, statutory inquiries are only opened to investigate “the most serious” regulatory breaches.
The commission said the purpose of the inquiry is to “determine whether there has been any mismanagement or misconduct on behalf of the charity trustees; to establish whether charitable funds have been properly applied and take appropriate remedial action if necessary.”

Linda Ikeji reports that the man also recently bought her a Range Rover SUV and is Abia State born and Lagos based billionaire, Prince Sunny Aku, the CEO of Novena Majesty Furniture, said to be in his 50s.
Dabota Lawson is in her mid to late 20s, a former beauty queen, model and actress and is reported to have got a nose job and liposuction in 2012, which cost her nearly $30,000.
From the picture above, Dobota sure doesn't care a fig what people think about her affairs, and I say good for her. Age is just a number, and she won't be the first to marry an older and richer guy. I wish her all the best with her relationship.
See the man below, Dabota's relationship goals and some more pictures from her IG page.
