They are trying to invent fake rapture – Mike Bamiloye reveals alleged plots by scientists

 

Nigerian Christian filmmaker/evangelist  Mike Bamiloye has alleged that scientists are trying to invent a fake rapture. 

He claimed they were doing this to make Christians confused so they would no longer believe in the real rapture. 

He shared a screenshot from a Facebook post with the faces of two extraterrestrial beings with a caption that reads: "The extraterrestrial invasion is imminent. It will take 10,000 people in 2025." 

 

Adding his own caption, Mike Bamiloye wrote: "YOU DONT BELIEVE IN THE IMMINENT RAPTURE? TO MANY SIGNS AND SIGNALS AROUND US. 

"Even the Scientists and the World Powers believe that there is an imminent occurrence that would lead to the disappearances of many people. 

"They are trying so hard to give an explanation to it ahead of time. 

"They are also working secretly on a Scientific and technological invention that would make so many people vanish without trace. 

"They are perfecting that technology, so that the Enemy, the Devil can get us confused. 

"They are trying to invent FAKE RAPTURE, in order to distract our preparation from the Actual Rapture. 

"We have cone to the Season of Great Delusion. 

"All around us now are news and reports of UFO (unidentified Flying Objects) and emerging of Strange beings from the Land, Air and from the Oceans. 

"We are beginnjng to see creatures that are half human and half sea creatures, unbelievable images of beings coming out of the belly of the Seas. 

"Water is flowing in Arabian deserts, The biggest river in the World, The Euphrates, drying up to receal unbelievable Caves on the river beds. The Antarctica ice wall melting to show strange images buried under ice for thousands of years. 

"Robots, human machines are already mixing with human to do the jobs human are employed to do. 

"Robotic AnteNatal Clinic is being secretly created where babies could be developed in the wombs of Robot and sold to intending buyers. 

"Robotic Female wives are being made to be make available for intending buyers, in place of human wives.

Northeastern University Unveils Special Scholarship for Cybersecurity Students

We are well aware by now that Canada is short on cybersecurity professionals— by at least 25,000 strong—and the impacts are tangible.

For example, a KPMG report found that 70% of small- and medium-sized businesses in Canada lack the skill personnel to implement cybersecurity defences and monitor for attacks, a figure that is up from last year. And cyber attacks cost Canadian companies millions of dollars in damages on average.

Mastercard announced this week that it is partnering with a post-secondary institution in Vancouver to help “secure the digital economy” by accelerating cybersecurity innovation in Canada and expanding the nation’s tech-skilled workforce.

The financial services giant this week unveiled its partnership with Northeastern University, which includes more than $700,000 from Mastercard to help Northeastern establish multiple initiatives that aim to “advance research and create opportunities for women, BIPOC students, and underrepresented groups in cybersecurity over the next three years,” according to a statement from the organizations.

“Investing in pioneering research and diverse talent is essential to driving innovation that truly reflects and serves all Canadians,” posits Mansur Mirani, who serves as Vice President Mastercard’s Cyber Centre of Excellence in Vancouver.

The collaboration will see the creation of the Mastercard Professorship Fund as well as the Mastercard Vancouver Scholarship.

“This partnership combines cutting-edge research with experiential learning, equipping the next generation of leaders to tackle the most critical challenges in cybersecurity and deliver solutions that make a real-world impact,” stated Mirani.

The professorship, focusing on cybersecurity research, will engage 100 students in total over three years through industry internships, favouring those from “underrepresented backgrounds,” according to Mastercard. This decision was made with the intent to “combat bias in learning models and solutions developed by providing opportunities to those often underrepresented in cybersecurity fields.”

“Northeastern University is dedicated to providing graduate-level education that is both experiential and research-focused,” said Steve Eccles, Dean of Northeastern University.

“This partnership with Mastercard will give our students an incredible opportunity to actively participate in groundbreaking research in one of the fastest growing sectors in Canada and produce graduates who will be able to hit the ground running in the cybersecurity industry,” he added.

The partnership with Northeastern University is an extension of Mastercard’s $500-million investment in Vancouver's Global Intelligence and Cyber Centre of Excellence.

Mother cries out for justice after her 2-year-old daughter d!ed in Lagos school

 

A heartbroken mother is asking for answers after her 2-year-old daughter d!ed in school yesterday, Wednesday, Jan. 15. 

She explained that her daughter, a student of Smiley Kids Montessori, in Sangotedo, Lagos State, went to school healthy but did not return alive.  

She added that she was told her daughter drowned.  However, she alleges that she has discovered the child was electrocuted but they put the body in the pool to make it look like drowning. 

She shared a picture of the pool with a high barricade to keep children away and she asked how a two-year-old could have climbed the barricade. 

She called on the Lagos State Government to investigate. 

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency has responded, promising to look into the case.

Influx of foreign terrorists responsible for resurgence of attacks in North East, North West– DHQ

 

The Defence Headquarters has attributed the recent resurgence of terrorist attacks in North East and North West to the alleged influx of foreign fighters providing reinforcement to local terror groups.

The Director, Defence Media Operation, Maj.-Gen. Edward Buba, disclosed this while briefing newsmen on the operations of the armed forces on Thursday in Abuja on Thursday, January 16.

“The resurgence in terror attacks can be attributable to the influx of foreign fighters that come in as reinforcement for these terrorists. These foreign fighters are from the Sahelian Region. The other contributing factor is the local collaborators that form a support base for these terrorists.

They serve as informants to the terrorist reporting on troop movement. Despite the situation, troops are profoundly conscious of their role and responsibility in ending insurgency and terrorism in the nation” he said

Buba said that troops might record occasional tactical setbacks but noted that the “strategic objective to break the terrorist will to fight remained unhindered”.

According to him, defeating an enemy means destroying or breaking his will to fight and the military is achieving this by the cumulative effort of killing their operatives, commanders and senior leadership. He said the troops had continued to take away the terrorists’ most important assets such as their logistics, administrative and fighting capabilities.

“And of course, we are applying regional and international pressure, as well as engaging the media. All these combine to destroy the terrorist will to fight. Wars are fought and won all over the world by destroying the enemy’s will to fight. And we are bent on achieving just that. We understand that this war is not a quick fix, but a long and enduring military operation at the end of which these terrorists will be destroyed and we will have a better world. Overall, we understand that we all want to be in a different situation, a situation whereby all this insecurity is over and the terrorist is completely eradicated” he added.

Mother of youth corper k!lled by gospel singer in Nasarawa recalls last moment with her daughter

 

Ojomachenwu Adaidu, the mother of Salome Adaidu, the youth corper who was hacked to de@th and then dismembered by Timileyin Ajayi, in Nasarawa state last weekend, has recounted her last moment with her daughter.

Speaking recently with BBC Pidgin, mother of the deceased said

“I called her on Saturday and asked where she was. She told me she was washing clothes. I then asked if she was washing the clothes alone. She said yes and added that the firstborn child was in the living room cleaning it.

She also told me that once she finished, she planned to go to the place where she does her NYSC training. Maybe it was from that training that this incident happened because the bag she took to the training was the same one the police brought, which I saw on Monday.”

The grieving mother demanded justice for her daughter.

“Maybe on her way to the place, she entered a ‘one-chance’ (a kind of scam often involving public transport), or someone used medicine (voodoo) on her because she doesn’t have friends like that. I want justice for my child,” she said.

Timileyin who was paraded before newsmen on Tuesday, said that the deceased was always che@ting on him and that he has no regrets he k!lled.

27-year-old Nigerian woman mauled to d3ath by dogs in her friend's garden in Italy

 

A 27-year-old Nigerian-Italian woman, Patricia Masithela, was mauled to d3ath by four or five dogs in the garden of a friend's house on the outskirts of Latina south of Rome. 

According to AnsaEnglish, the incident occurred on Monday, January 13, 2025.

It was gathered that the same pack of dogs attacked another woman and the owner of the house last week. 

Some neighbours who heard the desperate screams of Patricia alerted the police. 

Police officers from the Latina police station intervened on the scene of the attack at around 3 am and attempted to scare the dogs away by firing a gunshot. 

One of the dogs was k!lled while a second was injured. The others ran away. 

The woman was transported by ambulance to the local Santa Maria Goretti hospital but d!ed a few hours later due to the serious injuries she had sustained.

The woman's friend was not at home when the attack happened. 

Investigations are underway to clarify exactly what happened and establish responsibilities. 

US House passes bill banning transgender from participating in men and women's sports

The  United States of America has banned transgender men from competing in men's sports and transgender women from competing in women's Sports. 

This position was stated by the Speaker of the Parliament Mike Johnson in a post on X. 

“Today is a great day in America because House Republicans just passed @RepGregSteube's Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act ensuring men cannot compete in women’s sports.” 

“Men are men, women are women, and men cannot become women. It’s just that simple.” his post read. 

 

The development may be a return to incoming President, Donald Trump's policy which then banned transgender in the United States military. 

On July 26, 2017, then-President Donald Trump announced through a series of tweets that transgender individuals would no longer be allowed to serve in the U.S. military. 

The policy was however overturned by the administration of outgoing President, Joe Biden. 

Although it is unclear what the decision of the incoming President, Donald Trump, would be upon the ascension of office, there are however talks in quarters that he may re-introduce a ban on transgender in the military. 

Elon Musk sued over Twitter takeover

Elon Musk has been sued over Twitter acquisition. 

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission sued billionaire Elon Musk, saying he failed to disclose his ownership of Twitter stock in a timely manner in early 2022, before buying the social media site. 

As a result, the SEC alleges, Musk was able to underpay “by at least $150 million” for shares he bought after he should have disclosed his ownership of more than 5% of Twitter’s shares. 

Musk bought Twitter in October 2022 and later renamed it X. 

Musk started amassing Twitter shares in early 2022, and by March of that year, he owned more than 5%. At this point, the complaint says, he was required by law to disclose his ownership, but he failed to do so until April 4, 11 days after the report was due. 

Musk's lawyer, Alex Spiro, said in a statement that the lawsuit “is an admission by the SEC that they cannot bring an actual case” since Musk has “done nothing wrong.” He called the lawsuit a “sham.” 

“As the SEC retreats and leaves office—the SEC’s multi-year campaign of harassment against Mr. Musk culminated in the filing of a single-count ticky tack complaint against Mr. Musk under Section 13(d) for an alleged administrative failure to file a single form—an offense that, even if proven, carries a nominal penalty,” Spiro added. 

After Musk signed a deal to acquire Twitter in April 2022, he tried to back out of it, leading the company to sue him to force him to go through with the acquisition. 

The has SEC said that starting in April 2022, it authorized an investigation into whether any securities laws were broken in connection with Musk’s purchases of Twitter stock and his statements and SEC filings related to the company. 

Before it filed the lawsuit, the SEC went to court in an attempt to compel Musk to testify as part of an investigation into his purchase of Twitter. 

The SEC’s current chair, Gary Gensler, plans to step down from his post on Jan. 20 and it is not clear if the new administration will continue the lawsuit.

NLC shut down Radio and TV stations over non-implementation of minimum wage

 

The Lagos State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and workers on Monday shut down normal operations of Lagos Television, Eko FM/Radio Lagos, and Lagos Traffic Radio to protest the non-implementation of the N85,000 minimum wage by the management of the stations.

In collaboration with workers of the three broadcast stations under the aegis of the Radio, Television, Theatre and Arts Workers Union of Nigeria (RATTAWU), the NLC picketed the stations and demanded to be placed on the Oracle System.

A few weeks ago, the workers notified the management of their readiness to down tools if the stations failed to implement the minimum wage mandated by the Lagos State Government. Early in the morning, the workers blocked the entrance and exit to the Agidingbi complex of the broadcast stations, displaying placards with various inscriptions, such as: “Give us Oracle and take the revenue generated, Oracle is the answer, it’s all we need, Pay us Minimum Wage,” among others.

The workers were led in their solidarity songs by the state Chairman of NLC, Comrade Funmi Sessi. Speaking with newsmen, Sessi said: >"We started peacefully, and we are going to end it peacefully. Nobody is going to push us through the wall. I assure everybody that we shall be peaceful because we are Lagosians."

Sessi continued: "We are here this morning you can see the workers of government in communication departments that is LTV, Eko FM, and Traffic Radio, all here to show their displeasure against the injustice that has been meted out to them. This is the situation they do their work to the best of their abilities and now at the receiving end by being shortchanged. And not receiving the new Minimum wage as being approved and agreed upon by the law set by the Federal Government of Nigeria."

She further emphasized: "This is an injustice to the set of workers. The management has been given the mandate to pay the minimum wage as announced by the Lagos State Government. They are Lagos State workers. Since the government has commenced implementation of the N85,000 minimum wage since November they have never collected the minimum wage. The arrears of the three months and the 13th month they have not been enjoying the benefits. So, why is this disparity for this set of workers even in the face of this hardship?"

The leadership of their union had engaged the management previously, gare iving a 21-day notice to dialogue. After several engagements with management, they gave 14 days and 7 days, following due process, yet there was no resolution. Now, when they saw that the workers were resolute to fight for their rights, they were told to sheath their swords. 

Sessi concluded: "Though, the governor has been doing a lot and showing empathy to workers. We are hereby appealing to him to prevail on the management to do the needful and avoid unnecessary disruption to operations in the interest of the majority. We will sustain this struggle until the government listens and takes appropriate action on these demands."

Terrorists k!ll 40 farmers in Borno deadly attack

No fewer than forty farmers have been k!lled while the whereabouts of many others is yet to be ascertained after Boko Haram/Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) terrorists attacked Dumba, a farming settlement in Kukawa local government area of Borno State.

Leadership reports that residents of the area say the terrorists stormed the area at about 3pm on Sunday afternoon, January 12, with sophisticated weapons and rounded them up. One of the farmers who escaped unhurt said the terrorists, before embarking on a shooting spree, told them that farming activities, which according to them was banned, has not been lifted in the area, hence the terrorists said that anyone found farming there henceforth would be killed.

“We are the people farming at Dumba. Today (Sunday), the terrorists came and met us in the area. They chased us out of the farm and said that they had not lifted the ban on farming in the area. They said any farmer found in the area henceforth would be k!lled.

They k!lled many of our farmers. It was in the night that we ran to soldiers and Civilian Joint Taskforce (CJTF) members who assisted in taking us to a safer place.

We were farming together with those killed, God saved me. The dead bodies that I counted were about 40 of them. The rest that were shot in the bush and those that escaped with gunshot wounds could not be accounted for,” he narrated.

Also, craving anonymity, a member of the CJTF, who participated in rescuing the survivors, said such attacks on the farmers by the terrorists have been a recurring issue, adding that at times the terrorists would kill up to 10 of the farmers, and that such killings usually go unreported, but that the alarming rate of the present killings pushed them to voice out the challenges the farmers and fishermen were going through in the Kukawa local government area of the State.

“It was around 3pm that the attack occured, and it was around 5pm that the survivors reached us. We used boat to ferry them to a safer place together with the help from the military. About 200 of them that escaped were rescued. They told us that over 40 of them were killed. They are mostly fishermen and crop farmers,” said the CJTF member.

Dumba community is about 7km to the popular Baga fishing community where a large scale of fishing takes place due to the riverine nature of the local government area which borders Republic of Chad.
