The Reverend Al Sharpton
“Stephanie Dumped Rev. Okotie Because He Can't Impregnate Her!” Says a member of the church
Could this be true? Personally I think this the right time for every
member of the church to pray for Rev Okotie and Stephanie not dwell on the
reason why the two had to go their separate ways to avoid members going astray.
A very close source who claims to know Rev. Okotie well alleged that Okotie's marital problems stems from his presumed inability to father a child.
“It's very difficult to push to the public, but the reasons Okotie's marriages are not working is because of childlessness. It's a private thing, and he is battling the problem. Tina was with him for about 17 years without a child to show for the marriage.
That was why Tina had to relocate to America, and remarried. I even heard she has a child now,” our source disclosed.
But we pointed out to our source that so far as Stephanie already had three children, she couldn't have agreed that the marriage to Okotie breaks up.
“A woman generally does not feel secure if she doesn't have a child for her husband, and especially if the man is seen or suspected of keeping other women. That is the issue with Okotie and Stephanie. I don't want to say more than this. Please.” The source stated.
But another source who is a member of the Household of God Church said the above insinuation is wrong.
“It is a rubbish talk. The person that said so should not let the wrath of God be visited on him or her. Is the person God?
It's only Rev. okotie and Stephanie that know the reasons they got separated, and we are praying for them.
It is wrong to say Rev. Okotie can't father a child.” The source said.
Repairs on Third Mainland Bridge Postponed Indefinitely

officials over the matter to an abrupt but temporary end.
Eto’o Risks Five Years in Jail over Alleged Tax Evasion
The Barca and Inter Milan former player, now with Russian Premier League club, Anzhi Makhachkala, is accused of four tax offences, each punishable with up to five years in prison and a fine of as much as 21 million Euros.
The case presented by the prosecutor on June 15 at a Barcelona court, and which was seen by Reuters yesterday, asked a judge to open proceedings against the player before the statute of limitations on one of the alleged offences expires tomorrow.
Spain recently launched a drive against tax evasion as it struggles to meet tough European deficit reduction targets that have meant budget cuts for hospitals and schools. Eto’o allegedly created two companies, one in Hungary and another in Spain, and used them to channel income obtained from ceding his image rights to Barca and sportswear maker, Puma, the prosecutor said.
The Hungarian company paid one of the lowest corporate tax rates in Europe – 10 per cent to 19 per cent – while the Spanish company paid a reduced corporate tax rate of 30 per cent to 35 per cent, instead of the 45 per cent income tax rate, the charge said. Eto’o also allegedly used the Spanish company to deduct personal expenses, such as payments for his mortgages, furniture and expenses related to his luxury cars, the complaint added. Eto’o and his club could not immediately be reached for comment.
The prosecutor also accused Eto’o’s former agent, Jose Maria Mesalles, and the manager of the Spanish company, Manuel de Jesus Lastre, of the same tax offences. Eto’o filed a lawsuit against Mesalles at a Barcelona court last year, accusing him of betraying his trust and of embezzling money, local media said.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes end marriage
This is so sad, the rate of divorce in marriages these days especially to those couples some people look up to as role models is alarming. Their wedding which took place in an an Italian castle in November 2006. They have a daughter Suri, 6.
After five years of marriage, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are getting a divorce.
It is unclear whether divorce papers have been filed with the court, said TMZ. It was also reported that there has an exclusive photo of Tom photographed with another woman in Iceland two days ago.
Katie has been in new York City all week wearing her wedding ring. TMZ was told Tom and Katie did have a prenuptial agreement. "The net worth of both Tom and Katie is around $275 mil, but clearly Tom raked in most of that.
" The last time Tom and Katie were seen together in public was back in February. She did not attend any of the "Rock of Ages" premieres, his latest movie release.
This was Holmes's first marriage and the third for Cruise, who previously was married to actress Nicole Kidman, with whom he has two children, and actress Mimi Rogers.

Ex President Olusegun Obasanjo as adviser to New World Oil and Gas plc.
He got the new appointment in London to promote
investment in Nigeria
In one of his statements about
corruption, he said “There is no part of the world where corruption is
absolutely eliminated,” he said. “But in other countries,
corruption has not been a way of life. When you are found, you are dealt with.
And that’s what we need. The givers of most of the corruption in Africa are
from outside Africa. They do in Africa things they would not do in their own
countries.”
What is wrong with picture?

Mr. Austen Oniwon Group Managing Director has been sacked by GEJ, Mr. Andrew Yakubu was named to replace him
Part of the speech that caught my attention was this:
The President, Nigerian Association of Petroleum Explorationists, Mr. Afe Mayowa, while commenting on the appointment said, “Yakubu is a man of integrity. He is a geologist and very competent. This appointment means that government is serious to check corruption. It is a welcome development.”
“If you fix the NNPC, you fix Nigeria. Yakubu represents this. This is in line with the move to fix the NNPC.”
The GEDs sent packing alongside Oniwon are Mr. Michael Arokodare, in charge of Finance and Accounts; Mr. Phillip Chukwu, Refineries & Petrochemicals; Mr. Billy Agha, Engineering & Technology.
Oh well!, lets be watching and see what these new people have for our nation.
