Pics show Rabboni church members throwing up after eating grass

Members of the Rabboni Centre Ministries in Pretoria, South Africa, under instruction from their pastor, Lesego Daniel, dropped to the floor to eat grass after the 'man of God' told them it will 'bring them closer to God.' (If you missed the first post, see it here)

The church members defended their pastor who has been widely criticized for this practice and said eating grass has not only brought them closer to God but also heals them of illnesses.

'Yes, we eat grass and we're proud of it because it demonstrates that, with God's power, we can do anything,' Rosemary Phetha told South Africa's Times Live.
The 21-year-old law student says she had been battling a sore throat for more than a year, but it was healed after she ate the grass. Doreen Kgatle, 27, of Ga-rankuwa, suffered a stroke two years ago.

'I could not walk but soon after eating the grass, as the pastor had ordered, I started gaining strength and an hour later I could walk again,' said Kgatle.

God forgive for saying this, but how stupid can some people be? And how do you follow and obey another human being so blindly? A pastor in South Africa, Pastor Lesego Daniel (you will find his pics after the cut) is making his members eat grass. Yes, grass!

Pastor Daniel, who is the founder and Head Pastor at Rabboni Centre Ministries, situated at Zone 2 Ga-Rankuwa, north of Pretoria, said he was basically trying to prove that humans can be controlled by the spirit and they can eat anything to feed their bodies. I don't know how he managed to convince his members to go outside the church and start eating grass, but he! Unbelievable!

ASUU Sets Up Meeting To End Strike

After a five-month nationwide strike, the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) will today meet at the Federal University of Technology (FUT), Minna, Niger State, to decide on when to resume classes.
All chairmen of local chapters of the union, the zonal coordinators and past leaders have been invited for the meeting.
The lecturers, it was learnt, may also use the session to design how to cover the lost grounds for students.
The Federal Government and ASUU reached a compromise during a negotiation brokered by the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Comrade Abdulwaheed Omar.
A source said: "We have been communicated that ASUU may likely hold a National Executive Council (NEC) meeting on Monday at FUT Minna to take a final decision on the strike action.
"The meeting is going to be a formality because ASUU leadership has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Federal Government.
"ASUU's National President Dr. Nasir Fagge said the union's NEC would meet and revert to the Federal Government within a week.
"We will use the meeting to make the MoU available to all the branches and design modalities for monitoring the implementation of the agreement.
"The union will also design ways to cover up for missed lectures by students in such a manner that it would not affect academic standards in all universities."
The source noted that the NEC meeting was required, in line with the constitution of the union, because Dr Fagge could not unilaterally call off the strike.

PDP CRISIS: APC Reacts With Joy, Slams Jonathan's Administration

 

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (PDP) has expressed joy over the internal crisis rocking the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Following the 18-page letter written by former president Olusegun Obasanjo to president Jonathan, highlighting the corruption in Jonathan's administration, APC has said the PDP has misruled the country for the past 14 years.

In a statement on Sunday by its Interim Publicity Secretary, Joe Igbokwe, the APC berated the PDP-led Federal Government for the "stealing of the nation's oil, the stealing of $50bn from the nation's receipts from oil, the plundering of the excess crude accounts, the depleting of the nation's foreign reserves, the looting of N500bn from the SURE-P fund and dubious import waivers."

UNBELIEVABLE: 60-Year-Old Man Caught Having Sex With 11-Year-Old Girl Avoids Jail Because Court Says The Couple Are In Love

 

A 60-year-old man who was caught having sex with an 11-year-old girl would not be completing his 5-year sentence because the court thinks the couple are in love.

The supreme court in Catanzaro, Italy, annulled a five-year jail term and ruled that it was a 'real relationship.'
The young girl is said to be from a disadvantaged background and was in the care of a man who works for the town's social services department.

However, police raided the man's seaside villa to find the pair naked in bed together.
The man was earlier jailed for 5 years for sexual violence against a minor. However the child has now claimed that she is in love with the elderly man so the court ruled the pair have a 'romantic relationship'.

The case is being sent back to the Catanzaro court for a retrial and there are expected to be several levels of appeal before a sentence is confirmed.
