    [Devotional] IN HIS PRESENCE: Woman thou art loosed

    By Oke Chinye

    Read: LUKE 13:10-17

    Meditation verse:

    “But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “woman you are loosed from your infirmity.” (Luke 13:12).

    By the time you reach your middle years, you may have gone through several life experiences, some of which may not be so pleasant. The challenges of life can constrict your life or cause you to bend over. Many of us are constricted by the trauma of failed relationships, broken dreams, abuse, hurt, unforgiveness, neglect, infidelity, bottled up emotions, unmet expectations, financial hardship, grief, deceit, divorce, regrets, and several other disappointments. This constriction has diminished our expectations out of life or caused us to give up in certain areas of life.

    Some of us have been disconnected from who we were supposed to be because of the things we have gone through. We are angry, frustrated, beaten, overburdened or weary. And we are now bent over by the very many battles we have fought over the years. Being ‘bent over’ is a dangerous posture to adopt; you only see what is beneath you. When you are bent over, you cannot see ahead, your pace is slow, your abilities are diminished, and you would require much effort to accomplish anything worthwhile. The woman in today’s reading had been constricted and bent over by her infirmity for eighteen years. When Jesus saw her, He had compassion on her. He said to her “woman, you are loosed from your infirmity and laid His hands on her, and immediately, she was made straight. He can do the same for you today.

    Are you bent over because of an abusive marriage, a cheating spouse, betrayal from a sibling, death of a loved one, unemployment, financial hardship, failed relationships, or neglect from those you expected to be there for you? God wants to make you straight today. Irrespective of how long your condition has been, He is saying to you “woman/man, thou art loosed. What does it mean to be loosed? It means to be set free from the burden of your past. It means to be delivered from the consequences of your mistakes, failures, and wrong choices as well as from the consequences of the actions of other people. Why not cry out to God today. His touch is only a prayer away.

  • Woman forfeits wedding for iPhone 13 Pro Max

    Woman forfeits wedding for iPhone 13 Pro Max

    A woman has reportedly lost her wedding after refusing to inform her fiance who got her iPhone 13 Pro Max.

     

    According to a lady who narrated the incident, the fiance decided to end things between him and his fiancée.

     

    The woman (fiancée) had supposedly received an iPhone 13 Pro Max and when her man asked who gifted her the phone she had claimed it was a family member that got it for her.

     

    The man seeking to know more asked for the identity of the family member who had bought the expensive gadget; the woman (fiancée), however, refused to say.

     

    The narrator revealed that the woman forfeited her wedding as the man decided to cancel it over her refusal to disclose the identity of the generous family member.

     

    TheNewsGuru.com had reported that Apple Inc launched four versions of the iPhone 12 with faster 5G connectivity, starting at $699, which the Cupertino, California company hopes will spur a wave of upgrades and keep its sales booming through the end of the year.

     

    The iPhone 12, with a 6.1-inch display, will sell for $799. The phone has flat sides with a flush display, similar to the company’s iPhone 5 and a departure from rounded edges in recent years.

     

    Apple also introduced a “Mini” version, which has the same features but a smaller 5.4-inch screen and will sell for $699, as well as a “Pro” version with three cameras starting at $999 and a “Pro Max” starting at $1,099 and going up to $1,399.

     

    The new products will test whether Apple can ride a wave of consumer excitement around 5G wireless data networks, whose speediest variants outstrip their predecessors’ data rates multiple times over.

     

    Apple said all iPhone 12 models in the U.S. will support millimeter wave 5G, the fastest variant of the technology, as well as lower-frequency bands.

     

    Some rival Android devices support only the lower-frequency versions of 5G.

     

    Verizon Communications Inc CEO Hans Vestberg said the phones would work with the carrier’s ‘ultrawideband’ 5G network, designed to alleviate bottlenecks in major cities like New York and Los Angeles, as well as in crowded areas like NFL stadiums.

     

    Apple said it had tested 5G on more than 800 carriers in 30 regions globally.

     

    Shares of Apple fell over 3 per cent during the event, erasing $77 billion worth of stock market value.

     

    Apple may face a lukewarm holiday season due to the coronavirus pandemic, said Jake Dollarhide, chief executive officer of Longbow Asset Management in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

     

    “As the convergence of flu season with COVID and colder weather forces everyone indoors, I think it’s going to be harder to sell iPhones this Christmas.

     

    As much as Apple is a technology company, it’s not known for its online sales, it’s known for its in-store experience,” Dollarhide said.

     

    In China, the biggest online video platforms, including Tencent Holdings and Bilibili Inc, canceled Apple’s livestream event without explanation, Bloomberg News reported.

     

    Pre-orders for the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro in the U.S. and some other regions begin Oct. 16 and go on sale Oct. 23.

     

    The iPhone Mini and Pro Max will be available for pre-order Nov. 6 and in stores Nov. 13.

     

    Apple also announced a HomePod Mini smart speaker that will cost $99 and be shipped from Nov. 16. Many of the features serve as a catch-up to similar offerings from Amazon.com Inc and Alphabet Inc’s Google.

     

    The annual launch event is nearly one month later than normal and comes as the coronavirus pandemic has disrupted Apple’s well-oiled machine for designing and churning out its biggest-selling product.

     

    The company is in a delicate position of needing to excite consumers with 5G without setting them up for a disappointment: For many of its fans, it will be their first experience with 5G networks, which in the U.S. remain years away from delivering dramatic speed boosts for most consumers.

     

    Some analysts worry Apple will be selling a high-powered sports car while its customers remain confined to sleepy village roadways.

     

    But in spite of waves of retail store closures and travel bans that delayed the development of the iPhone, Apple’s financial results have largely bucked the pandemic.

     

    In July at its most recent earnings, the company posted year-on-year revenue gains across every category and in every geography as consumers working and learning from home during the COVID-19 pandemic turned to its products and services.

     

    Apple had launched new watch models with blood oxygen sensors and updated its iPad models.

     

    The company has also committed to introducing new Mac computers before year’s end based on processors of its own design.

    Netizens reaction to the incident

    DonNweze @Don_Dee_donald said: “Nigerian Police is very good at recording their victims’ reactions, and will seize your phone for attempting to record their own intimidations and harrassments that led to the reaction. I know this from personal experience. You threatened to gun her; yes or no?”
    According to aabibat @aabibat, “This woman action is uncalled for. Lets give it to her that the policemen made a threat to gun her, still she went beyond what is expected. The policeman, definitely from what the video portrayed acted well disciplined. Kudos to him.”
    ?????? ????? @MasterPackerPut noted that, “This is a née strategy from the Nigerian police. They will purposely annoy you so you will react. Then they will make a video of it and say you assaulted them. The Nigerian police are doing massive image cleaning now and they are using innocent civilians to do this. Be warned!”
    De UniQue @Abdulkarim2 maintained that, “All I love and learn here is the Calmness and patience of the police officer assaulted. Coz I know I believe if this to be in UK or USA,  I promise you this lady will be dealt with seriously. Another thing i don’t understand is what would happen come next year.
    Objective Kenny @kenecuku explained that “The so called gentle policeman asked the lady to “hold me na” knowing his colleague wants to film that part(they need her to repeat since they didn’t capture it b4)She played into their game/trap.Now she is telling d policeman to repeat his threats,the man pam” cos he’s on film

    Joy mentioned one Udo Moji, now at large, as the leader of the gang she engaged  for  her husband’s abduction.
    She said, ”They collected the money from me and never gave anything to me.  Some members of the group who were arrested while spending the money mentioned my name to the police.”
    Also speaking, Ebong said that he was kidnapped at about 8.30 p.m., on July 21 shortly after entering his house.
    “They took me out of my compound in a mini bus. They kept me for four days and demanded the sum of N2million as ransom.
    ”They took me me to Etinan where they caged me. I am very fortunate that the police came on a rescue operation.
    ‘They collected N2million from me. The police later recovered about N500,000 from them,” he said.

    Court sentences woman to 3yrs jail for attempting to cut off husband’s pen*s

     

    A woman who attempted to cut off her husband’s penis while he was asleep earlier this month has been sentenced to three years in prison.

    The court heard how Jimmy Ngulube, from Kapiri Mposhi in Zambia, woke up at midnight on August 4 with a sharp pain in his groin.

    He saw his wife Given Chilufya standing over him with a bloody knife and threatening to kill him.

    Before they went to bed, Chilufya, 37, had accused her husband of cheating on her and this led to a blazing row. She had then woken up in the night and decided to take her revenge.

    Jimmy, 43, called his brother who took him to the hospital where doctors managed to repair the worst of the damage.

    Local police were also notified and Chilufya was taken into custody.

    On August 26, last Friday in court, Kapiri Mposhi Resident Magistrate Arnold Kasongamulilo sentenced Chilufya to three years behind bars for unlawfully wounding her husband.

    Chilufya begged the court for leniency, but the magistrate maintained that by attacking and wounding her husband as she did, she had shown clear intent to kill him.

  • I’m fed up, my husband’s manhood is not functioning – Woman tells court

    I’m fed up, my husband’s manhood is not functioning – Woman tells court

    A 54-year-old woman, Blessing Mormah, has approached an Igando Customary Court, asking for the dissolution of her marriage due to her husband’s alleged sexual incompetence.

    Mormah, a beautician, asked the court on Tuesday to dissolve her 25-year-old marriage, alleging that she was forced into it.

    She said that she was fed up and could not continue with the marriage.

    “My father forced me to love him.

    “We have five children, two boys and three girls.

    “Also, we always quarrel, we fight too often and anytime we fight he will tell me to leave his house.

    “He forgets that quarrels abound in marriage and no one is perfect.

    “I am fed up with this lifestyle so I moved out eventually.

    “Also, his manhood is not working.

    “When I found out, I took him to hospital and drugs were prescribed for him but he never used them.

    “He always said nothing was wrong with him.

    “Ok, if nothing is wrong, then perform your duty but he cannot.

    “He also has no regards for my family.

    “When issues come up and they invite him, he will tell them that he would not go to their place.

    “Instead, he would expect them to come over to his place, such a disrespect,” Mormah said.

    She further told the court to grant her a divorce since they have been leaving apart.

    According to her, even while they were leaving together he never had her time.

    He was always out to drink with his friends.

    She also told the court that they have been living apart for a year and that the court should grant her the sole custody of their last child, who is six years old.

    The respondent, Mr David Mormah, was not available to give his own account.

    The President of the court, Mr Koledoye Adeniyi, later adjourned the matter to May 12 for judgement.

  • There’s no woman behind every successful man – Reno Omokri

    There’s no woman behind every successful man – Reno Omokri

    Former media aide to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri has debunked the claim that there is a woman behind every successful man.

    Omokri stated: ‘Behind every successful man, there is not a woman. That proverb is a lie. Rather, behind almost every successful man, are many unsuccessful years. And if he had focused on women in those years, his present success would not have manifested. So, never think that love alone, without success, can keep a woman with you. Love alone is not enough to keep a marriage afloat. Especially where children are involved. Once a woman has a child. her umbilical love for that child is likely to be stronger than her emotional love for you. If you can’t care for that child, because of poverty, she may cheat on you with a man who will!’
