How Christians in Russia worship a tree after seeing the face of Jesus On its trunk!

The images began to appear on the birch tree in the village of Burmakino in central Russia's Kirov Oblast last month in the places where gardeners had trimmed off old branches.

Villager Valentina Naumova explained: 'We thought nothing of it until the tree started to form these arched shapes, just like church icons.

The images began to appear on the birch tree in the village of Burmakino in central Russia's Kirov Oblast

'Then the faces of Jesus and his disciples began to appear in them and we realised this really must be God's work.

'It seems to me that they had come to us because they wanted to tell us something.'


The village has had no church building of its own since it was destroyed by Communists in the 1930s. In the Soviet Union, all church owned property was confiscated and turned over to public use and most of it - like the property at Burmakino - was destroyed.

Now whole congregations of people gather in front of the tree to pray and give thanks.

Icons are powerful religious images in the Russian Orthodox Church and are believed to be able to work miracles.

Church leaders are so impressed with the display they now plan to rebuild the village's church, the Kazan Divine Mother church.

Spokesman Father Felix Ozerov explained: 'The holy father has spoken and we are listening.'

AT LAST! Nigeria Military Finally React To The New Video of Shekau in Circulation! [Photos]

 

The Defence Headquarters is studying the claims made in the video purportedly released by the terrorists showing their leader Abubakar Shekau as dismissing his death. From immediate observation and what some online news outlets claimed to have seen, the video did not indicate when it was shot neither did it show any proof of life or currency such as screen time or date.

The video also did not make any reference to anything that has happened since the impostor’s reported death. It is also noteworthy that the air plane said to be mentioned in the video had been missing before he was killed.

It should not surprise anybody if the terrorists decide to manipulate pictures, clone another Shekau or upload a pre-recorded video all in a bid to prove invincible. As far as we are concerned, the individual who was appearing in video and claiming to be the leader of the terrorist group was killed in the Kondunga battle in September.

The resemblance of the corpse and that of the eccentric character was incontrovertible. His identity was equally corroborated by people who knew him before we announced his death. So, while waiting to see the new video before any further statement, our message to them is that justice will be served to whoever bears that name or designation and whoever engages in act.

135 members of a terrorist group, Boko haram, have surrendered to Nigerian Military (See Photo)

 

A total of 135 members of a terrorist group, Boko haram, have surrendered to troops around Biu Local Government Area in Borno State.
The spokesman for the military, Major General Chris Olukolade, told reporters on Wednesday that the terrorist also surrendered equipment to the military.
According to him, a group of 88 submitted themselves at Mairiga/Bun-Yadi while another group of 45 terrorists were taken in around Mubi-Michika on Tuesday evening.
They are all being interrogated and processed in conformity with the dictates of standard best practices
He also said that, the Nigerian military, in a counter-terrorism operation, killed one Mohammed Bashir, who has been acting or posing on videos as the deceased Abubakar Shekau, the eccentric character known as the leader of the Boko Haram sect, was killed in a counter-terrorism operation in the north-east.
Major General Olukolade, with the aid of video images, explained that Mr Bashir was killed after members of the terrorist group made not less than four attempts between September 12 and 17 to violate the security strategy and enter Konduga to attack citizens in the area.
“Air and land forces were subsequently deployed to handle the situation.
“The convoy of combat vehicles typical of terrorists’ mission that involves their top commanders, were fiercely engaged by the land and air forces. Several of the terrorists including some of their commanders lost their lives in the encounters which lasted an average of about four hours each, leading to the death of the man claiming to be Mr Shekau,” he said read.
In a statement, the Defence Headquarters warned that “since the name Shekau had become a brand name for the terrorists’ leader, it would remain resolute to serve justice to anyone who assumes that designation or title as well as all terrorists that seek to violate the freedom and territory of Nigeria”.
The Defence Headquarters also applauded the gallantry of the Nigerian troops who had remained undaunted and professional in prosecuting the campaign against terror.
It also mentioned that the keen interest exhibited by Nigeria’s neighbours and allies had been commendable, reassuring all allies in the war against terrorism of the Nigerian military’s resolve to maintain momentum in the efforts to decimate and defeat terrorists.
The military further stressed the need for all Nigerians to be alert, vigilant and cooperate with security forces in the war on terror campaign.

APC lawmakers walk out of session in protest over $9.3m smuggled to SA

There was major drama in the House of Reps today September 23rd after APC lawmakers staged a walk out during a session in the House after a motion to debate the $9.3m smuggled into South Africa by two Nigerians on behalf of the Federal Govt on September 5th was denied by PDP lawmakers.

According to reports, the APC lawmakers had moved a motion through the the House Deputy Minority Leader, Ismaila Kawu to debate the matter on the floor of the House but the motion was stopped after a voice note called by the deputy speaker, Mr Emeka Ihedioha went in favor of the majority PDP members.

After the walkout, the Minority Whip leader, Samson Osagie spoke on behalf of APC members...

He said;

“For us as a people and for us as lawmakers, we find this unacceptable, unethical, illegitimate and in our view, it is an illegal transaction. Nigerian government owes the Nigerian people an explanation as to what that source of money comes from and the purpose for which it was made. If indeed, the matter involves security issues like the purchase of arms by foreign government like Nigeria, why was the South African government not brought into the picture before hand and how could South African government be sure that the arms were purchased legitimately by the Nigerian government and not by the insurgents when there were no officials of the NSA’s office or the Director of state security department that accompany such money?”

Nollywood actor, Muka Ray Eyiwunmi maybe close to Iyabo Ojo but the actress has denied that they are dating and blames the rumour on fake media hype, she admits that her new lover is super wealthy

She said There must always be an issue between us, but one thing people don’t know is that as a producer, you can’t keep repeating cast. That doesn’t mean you’re fighting the person that is not in your movie.

Kola Boof Boasts That Gerald Bulter And Mike Tyson Have Slept With Her

The fact that Muka Ray doesn’t feature in Beyond Disability doesn’t mean we have any issue. It’s just that sometimes we change cast. We can’t keep repeating the same cast on and on. It’s just like Fathia was in Silence and not in Beyond Disability doesn’t mean that Fathia and I have an issue. So, it’s normal. One can’t continually repeat the same faces all the time.

Iyabo revealed that her new man is super wealthy, “They were sponsored by me. And of course, with the support of my man. It’s not yet time to tell anybody who the man is. I am not ready for that. It is my private life and I want it to be left so. I want to keep it as private as possible.

“So, right now, whoever I am in love with should be kept out of public eye. All I know is that I love my man, we have been together for a while. And I love to keep the relationship as private as possible.

Photos: Boy has chopstick removed from brain after shoving it up his nose

A 2 year old Chinese boy named Huang Zicheng had to have a chopstick removed from deep within his brain after he accidentally shoved it up his nose. The chopstick penetrated three inches into his brain and doctors who spent four hours carefully taking it out of the little boy's skull said if it had gone any further, it would have caused brain injury.

Thankfully, the chopstick did not damage any major nerves and arteries and Huang expected to make a full recovery. Continue...

Speaking about the incident, the father told a Chinese newspaper that he knew his child was in trouble when he screamed like he'd never screamed before

"I turned around and was shocked to find that the long stick had gone into his head from his nose.”

The boy's parents rushed him to the hospital where the chopstick was removed

“Abubakar Shekau” killed was one Bashir Mohammed - SR

A Nigerian military intelligence source has told SaharaReporters that the top Boko Haram figure killed in a recent operation was one Bashir Mohammed, leader of the Islamist sect’s Uye camp.

Cameroonian authorities yesterday released a photo of a dead man they identified as Abubakar Shekau, the loquacious and attention-seeking leader of the terrorist group that has launched deadly strikes in Nigeria’s northeast zone as well as Cameroon. The Nigerian intelligence source told SaharaReporters that Nigerian soldiers, not Cameroonian troops, had killed Mr. Bashir last Friday in a fierce battle against Boko Haram insurgents in Konduga, Borno State. The late Mr. Bashir, who bore a striking resemblance to Abubakar Shekau and had appeared in a recent video, was killed as he led insurgents who were attempting to capture Konduga and then made a bid to seize Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, as well.
Nigerian soldiers routed the Islamist militants in Konduga, killing hundreds of them and capturing weapons as well as vehicles abandoned by fleeing insurgents. The military as well as Nigerian government-appointed negotiators claim that the original Mr. Shekau had died since last year, reportedly assassinated by his lieutenants. The intelligence source said Mr. Bashir had adopted Mr. Shekau’s nom deguere and had been the person responsible for issuing video messages in recent times. Even though our source said the military was cautious not to claim credit for Mr. “Shekau’s” death, he added that the Nigerian military was buoyed by the capture of the armored tank usually displayed in the background of recent videos issued by the sect’s spokesman.

Nude photos of Kim K, Gabby Union and more stars leak online

This tweet is so apt..lol. We've all seen Kim's nakedness so nobody really cares. But anyway, hackers last night released more stolen pics of Kim K, Jennifer Lawrence, Gabrielle Union, Vanessa Hudgens, Hayden Panettiere,  Kaley Cuoco, Avril Lavigne, Hope Solo and many more celebs in the biggest celeb scandal in history, that has prompted an FBI investigation.

The hackers hacked these celebs iCloud accounts three weeks ago and shared their nude photos online. Then they released a list of other celebs and promised to share their nude photos soon...yeah well, soon was last night. The hacker/s titled it 'The Fappening: The Second Coming'. The photos are on 4chan Reddit, Facebook and Twitter...in case you want to see them..:-)

Gabrielle Union has confirmed her images are real and says she plans to call in the FBI to investigate. She released a statement to TMZ

"It has come to our attention that our private moments, that were shared and deleted solely between my husband and myself, have been leaked by some vultures.

"I can't help but to be reminded that since the dawn of time, women and children, specifically women of color, have been victimized, and the power over their own bodies taken from them. These atrocities against women and children continue worldwide.

"For anyone out there also being affected by these and other hacking and hate crimes. We send our love, support and prayers. We have done nothing wrong."

All the pics are on anonymous site, 4Chan. That is the original site the hackers released the pics before it was re-posted on other social media platform. The FBI are threatening to arrested those re-posing the images and have been using other hackers to remove the images online.

But 4chan users are having a blast with the nude pics by reopening other threads once the threads with the pics are closed

"Do they really think that they have any chance of stopping us? We will just make a new thread every time one gets 404'ed."

Sharing these stolen pics is actually illegal.

5 Common Problems With Blackberry and How to Fix Them!

Blackberry phones are among the best and preferable smart phones available in the market today.

This is because Blackberry devices can record video, take photos, play music and also provides functions such as web-browsing, email messaging, and the multi platform Blackberry messenger service.

But still, there tends to be some down sides to the Blackberry phones, as they come up with different faults from time to time. Just like every other phone. The common problems that are associated with the blackberry phones are highlighted below with their solutions.

Poor Battery life

This is one common problem with most blackberry mobile devices. Bear in mind that you will be using the new devices a lot more than in the first few days and that, it will require some extra juice to perform the initial email and social media accounts syncing.



Solutions;



* If you have 3G blackberry, turn it to 2G only. You will receive emails very quickly and unless web browsing is vital.



*Turn off any features you are not using- GPS, NFC, data, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth etc.



*Sync your email and accounts less frequently.



*Reduce screen brightness and use a black ground.



*Reduce volume, turn off vibrate on notifications



*Sometimes a specific app will be culprit, for example many Blackberry owners have Skype. If that’s the case for you, then make sure the app is up to date. If it’s still causing a problem then stop using it and contact the developer to let them know.

* Get a spare battery just in case you find yourself in difficult situation.


Trackballs getting stuck

Trackballs are notorious for getting stuck and overtime can cease to work properly due to the build-up of dust



Solution;

One trick is to turn your blackberry down and vigorously rub it over an A4 sheet of paper. It does really work.



Phone Screen Freezing

Here’s another common problem with blackberry. It freezes when in use, it might go for several minutes, especially when browsing.

There have been few reports from people about their Blackberry phones randomly freezing.

Sometimes it seems to be related to syncing or BBM, for others, the keyboard is freezing up.



Solutions;



*There might be a problem with one of your apps, but it could be tough to find culprit. Make sure that all of your apps are up to date. If you notice an issue with a specific app, then try uninstalling it.



*Make sure you have the latest updates via settings and then security update.



*Try a master reset. Make sure everything on your internal storage is backed up and remove your media card to avoid any problem, then go to settings> security> privacy> security wipe. Type “blackberry” in the box , then tap delete data.



Overheating

Overheating is becoming a bigger issue with mobile devices as we pack in more power and more features that encourage long term on intense use. A lot of users have been complaining about their blackberry handsets getting a little too hot to handle.

Here is what you can do;


*Use the phone less- The longer you use it continuously and the more intensive the task, the hotter it will get. There is no way around this.



*Turn the phone off and remove the battery so it can cool faster.



*Press and hold the power key up top until the phone restarts.



Blackberry BBM getting stuck on Waiting For Authorization

Blackberry Messenger requires a friend to accept your contact request, to add him/her to your friend’s list. While waiting for him/her to accept, the friend’s status will reflect that authorization is pending. Occasionally, BBM will become stuck on the pending authorization status after the request is accepted. In most cases, it’s a resolvable problem related to software issue.



Solution;

*Hard reset – Another process on your blackberry could be interfering with the phone’s ability to properly send requests to contacts. The quickest way to eliminate that interference without erasing your phone’s data is to do a hard reset… pulling the battery for 30 seconds before replacing the battery and then re-launching BBM.



*Update Application – Occasionally, Blackberry releases updates to address bugs in the BBM software. For example, pest problems with the application, including authorization issues. You’ll find any available software updates at the Blackberry App World website. During the update process your phone needs an active cellular data or Wi-Fi connection. After the update completes, you must restart your Blackberry.



* Additional Troubleshooting – If authorization problems occur for just one contact, your option includes cancelling the request and resending it. As a last resort, you can completely uninstall the application from within the phone’s “Applications” list. After the removal of the app completes and you’ve restarted your smart-phone, you can reinstall BBM from Blackberry App World.
