Mismanagement of UK Church Funds Behind Pastor Chris And Anita's Marriage Troubles?

Posted in: , , , , ,

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.”

Posted in: , , ,

It started with a work out selfie, above, shared by Nollywood actress Mbong Amata on her Instagram, followed by compliments. With requests for her secret to a smooth flawless skin also coming in, the young mother of one decided to share the story behind how she beat acne. She had captioned the picture;

Post workout selfie. Feeling great!!! #Intense #fitness #abs #AllSeasonFitness #lifestyle #MoreAbsNeeded #muscleMilkIn #instamood #happy #justbecause...

I remember watching Forgetting June which had featured Mbong Amata on IrokoTV and how some of the reviews on the site ignored the movie and focused on her terrible acne at the time. It's humble of her to open up on what must have really been a difficult time for her. Hopefully, others will benefit too.

400 People Under Surveillance For Ebola In Rivers State

Posted in: , , ,

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control Project Director, Dr. Abdulsalami Nasidi, has said that the health ministry is monitoring about 400 people in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for signs of Ebola after they came in contact with a Port Harcourt doctor who died of the disease but hid the fact that he had been exposed.

Nasidi said this on Thursday in Geneva, saying that there is a sense of “hopelessness” due to the lack of proven drugs or vaccines to treat Ebola that has infected 18 people in the country.

In an interview with Reuters, he said that more isolation wards were being opened in the oil industry hub but voiced confidence that there would not be “many cases” there.

After having contact with an Ebola patient and before his own death on August 22, the Port Harcourt doctor, named by local authorities as Iyke Enemuo, carried on treating patients and met scores of friends, relatives and medics, leaving about 60 of them at high risk of infection.

The doctor’s wife, who is also a physician, and a patient in the same hospital have been infected with Ebola.

Alyssa Milano has given birth to her second child with husband, David Bugliari, a girl named Elizabella Dylan. The couple already has a 3-year old son, Milo. Congrats to their family!

The 41-year-old actress who has most recently featured in Mistresses on ABC says she has no regrets for having her children in her late 30s and early 40s. On being a second-time mom, she told Fit Pregnancy;

“Someone said a wise thing to me when I was pregnant with Milo,” she remembers. “‘Savor this pregnancy, because it’s entirely about this baby, but your second pregnancy will still be about this baby who will already have been born.’ That’s super true.”

Alyssa loves to tweet, and as a clue to her baby's rocking name, her last tweet said, "This Baby Was Born Ready to Rock". Check out the rocker baby below...
