Justin Bieber: Baptized in New York City!

Based on his reactions to the pair of racist videos that leaked over the past several days, it's clear Justin Bieber is both embarrassed and regretful.
He's expressed extreme sorrow and apologized profusely in multiple statements.
Just how affected has Bieber been by the release of this footage? According to TMZ, he made a major life decision last month.

While being extorted for $1 million over the videos, Bieber spent a week with Pastor Carl Lentz in New York City, studying the Bible and attending many religious services.
He also got baptized! In a friend’s bathtub!

An insider confirms that Bieber hoped to get this religious move done in an actual church, but his cover was blown each time he tried to check out a possible destination.
So a pal volunteered his bathroom... Lentz performed the baptism... and bam! Justin got himself right with God.

As for being right with the public? It looks like Justin is getting there.

“‘It is also the strength of a whole nation; you touched so many lives, and that is a blessing that must not be taken lightly.’”

World Cup: Ghanaian ‘Witchcraft’ On Trial

Sport lovers and enthusiasts are looking forward to the display of African ‘witchcraft’ at the world cup tournament starting in Brazil this week. Particularly many will be looking out for Ghanaian witchcraft and how it will get Ghana to win its matches. Thanks to a local spiritualist, the Ghanaian witchcraft is already wreaking havoc. Claims by the country’s ‘most influential witchdoctor’, Nana Kwaku Bonsam, have made headlines around the world. Bonsam has declared that he would use his ‘magic’ to stop Cristiano Ronaldo from playing at the world cup, or at least from playing Ghana. The reasons for these weird claims may not be far fetched.
Since FIFA announced the teams that would play in the different groups, fear had gripped many Ghanaians. Ghana is in group G- the world cup’s group of death-with Portugal, Germany and USA. And Ghana must beat Germany or Portugal to advance. It is not certain that Ghana will beat the US. To many Ghanaians, beating one of the two countries will be difficult that is why Kwaku Bonsam is offering his free spiritual services at this critical point in time. And he is going after Ronaldo.
 
Bonsam said he used some occult means to orchestrate Cristiano Ronaldo’s recent knee injury which caused him to miss a friendly match against Greece. The knee injury is an ‘evidence’ that his magic is working. According to Bonsam this marks the beginning of Ronaldo’s sorrows. Series of injury will eventually prevent Ronaldo from playing at the world cup. There is no confirmation yet that Ronaldo has been ruled out of the world cup due to this injury. But Bonsam is already claiming that this would happen. He has marshalled his sympathetic magical wares against the world best player. What effects will that have on Cristiano Ronaldo? Will Kwaku Bonsam succeed in getting Ghana to lift the world cup through his magic?
Nana Kwaku Bonsam claimed to have conjured a special powder from his gods. He mixed the powder with leaves and concoctions and placed them around the photos and caricatures of Cristiano Ronaldo. In addition, he plans to use ‘four dogs’ to produce a special magical charm called ‘Kahawiri Kapam’
This charm will spiritually inflict Ronaldo with serial injuries that would keep me out of the world cup and likely out of playing professional soccer for life. Wow!
Bonsam states that the injury was spiritual and had no cure. By making this claim, Kwaku Bonsam has stretched his paranormal nonsense too far. He is making a caricature of himself and his so called powers. Bonsam is exposing his supposed witchcraft influences to international ridicule.
The belief that incurable diseases are magically orchestrated is popular in Ghana. Claims of causing incurable illness are among the driving forces of witchcraft accusation in the country. So, it is ‘understandable’ when one makes such wild claims in a country where many people cannot afford adequate health care and therefore rely on traditional and faith healing system.
Magic and medicine mix in the traditional and faith healing system. Weird claims like those made by Nana Kwaku Bonsam are common.
Bonsam has demonstrated his charlatanry by thinking that his ‘witchcraft’ abracadabra can apply in the case of Ronaldo who can access the best health care in the world. Witchcraft is superstition and thrives due to fear or ignorance. Nana Kwaku Bonsam and others who peddle such superstitous claims are miners of popular fears and anxieties. Magic has practically not place in football. Magical charms can affect those who believe and use them psychologically probably by boosting their confidence or morale. But the psychological impact is so marginal that it cannot be responsible for claims like the ones Kwaku Bonsam is making. If witchcraft is effective in football, many African teams would have lifted the world cup.
But my question is this: Why Ronaldo? Why Portugal and not Germany? Is Ronaldo the only player in the Portuguese team? Why is Bonsam making this claim in reaction to the injury? Why can’t he now be prophetic in his so called magical schemes and now tell us who else will be injured among the German or Portuguese players? If he has the magic to make Ghana win, must he injure Ronaldo to accomplish this?
If he has spiritual powers as he claims why can’t he join the Ghana national team and use his powers to secure victory for them in Brazil?
This is not the first time witchcraft related claims are featuring in Ghanaian football. In 2012, the then coach of Ghana, Goran Stevanovic attributed the failure of Ghana to beat Zambia in the Semi Final African Cup of Nations to accusations of witchcraft. He claimed that the players were using ‘black power’ against each other, and this negatively impacted their performance. Coach Stevanovic said a change of mentality is needed to get rid of this negative trend in Ghanaian football.
But that change of mind has not happened and may not happen for now due to the operations and pronouncements of the likes of Kwaku Bonsam. So as the world cup tournament kicks off in a few days time, people are looking forward to seeing ‘black power’ in action, Ghanaian witchcraft will surely be on trial.

Baby Dies In Church After Dedication, Pastor Threatens Mother (Photo)

A baby belonging to Godwin and Amaka Mark reportedly died after its dedication by a pastor who presides over a church opposite the MTN mast at Baruwa area of Ipaja in Lagos state.

                                                             The deceased baby
According to report, the Pastor (name withheld) dedicated the baby on Sunday June 1, 2014 and the baby died right there in the church.
According to an eyewitness, during the dedication, the pastor sprinkled oil on the baby and prayed with even carrying the baby in his arms.
"It was an unusual thing to have seen a pastor dedicating a baby without carrying the baby. What the Pastor did was to sprinkle oil and he prayed without even touching the baby," the eyewitness said.
When the parents were asked by some people they invited for the dedication why the Pastor didn't touch the baby, the couple said that's how it was done in the church.
At the close of service, the parents discovered that their baby was no longer breathing. They called the pastor who had disappeared from church but he said he couldn't come back as he had already taken off his clothes.
The bereaved couple had to go and bury their dead baby with the assistance of some of the invited guests.
The next day, the Pastor was said to have sent some people to pay a condolence visit to the couple.
During the visit, the mother of the dead baby mad it known that she was not pleased with action of the Pastor over the death of her baby and the emissary took words back to the pastor who is now threatening to sue Mrs Amaka Mark if she does not retract her statement within 7days.
However, the couple made it clear to the pastor that they were ready for any legal tussle with him and now he is pleading with them not to make the matter public.

Comedian Tracy Morgan’s Leg Crushed in Car Accidents … Doctors Preparing TO AMPUTATE IT!!

MediaUpdate is reporting (unsubstantiated) that  Tracy Morgan’s leg was crushed and it may be amputated. MediaTakeOut.com spoke with a person who WORKS at the Robert Wood Johnson Hospital who said

“Tracy suffered a number of traumatic injuries, the most serious is his leg. It was crushed during the accident. [Doctors] are working hard to save his leg, but it looks like they may have to amputate.”

Kevin Roper, 35, posted a $50,000 bail after being charged in a  crash  that killed comedian Jimmy Mack (James McNair).

McNair was riding with the Saturday Night Live alum, movie star and comedian Tracy Morgan who is presently in critical condition according to Sgt. Gregory Williams of New Jersey State Police.

The chain-reaction wreck happened around 1:00 am Eastern on Saturday morning. Morgan was riding with McNair as well as fellow comedians Ardie Fuqua and Harris Stanton, who along with Jeffrey Millea, were also injured.

Middlesex County Prosecutors’ Office said that Roper, is charged with one count of death by auto and four counts of assault by auto. Mercer was driving a Walmart tractor-trailer on the New Jersey Turnpike in Mercer County.

Williams, of the NJ Police said Roper crashed into the limo bus containing Morgan, McNair and the other injured.

“I climbed around and heard Tracy screaming for help,” said his driver, Tyrone Gale. “I climbed up on the body of the limo bus … but I couldn’t reach them.”

According to ABC News N.J. State Police said they believed the truck driver was dozing and didn’t see traffic slowing in front of his 18-wheeler until it was too late, crashing into the vehicle carrying comedian Morgan and his entourage.

“I just remember the impact. … We didn’t know which way was up, which way was down. I don’t know if we flipped several times or one time,” Gale said. “I saw the condition of everybody and I knew it would just make it worse if I tried to pull them up and out of the vehicle.”
“The driver of the tractor-trailer failed to observe slow-moving traffic ahead,” Williams said. “At the last minute, he swerved to try and avoid the Mercedes limo bus but struck it from behind, forcing the limo to rotate and overturn.” (GhanaVibes)
