I will call him Sochukwuma. A thin, smiling boy who liked to play with us girls at the university primary school in Nsukka. We were young. We knew he was different, we said, ‘he’s not like the other boys.’ But his was a benign and unquestioned difference; it was simply what it was. We did not have a name for him. We did not know the word ‘gay.’ He was Sochukwuma and he was friendly and he played oga so well that his side always won.

Signs of the end time

In this world, weird things happen every day but you will be shocked with the discovery of this church in Virginia, United States of America, called White Tail Chapel, which worships in the nude ‘because the founder, Pastor Allen Parker says Jesus Christ was crucified naked,’ and its slogan is ‘Bare More Than Your Naked Soul.’

According to Huffingtonpost.com, the church is ‘located on the grounds of the White Tail Resort in Ivor, Virginia, and focuses on casting off material concerns, including clothes.

White Tail Resort describes itself as a Family Nudist Community, where visitors can enjoy all manner of activities, including spiritual worship, completely naked.

Pastor Parker allegedly told ABC 13 that many of ‘Jesus' most important moments happened while he was naked.’

“When he was born he was naked, when he was crucified, he was naked and when he arose, he left his clothes in the tomb and he was naked. If God made us that way, how can that be wrong?”

Pastor Parker says he draws at least some of his opinions on nudity from the book of Genesis, in which Adam and Eve were originally described as ‘both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.’

“It was only after sinfully eating forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge that Adam and Eve are said to have seen their nudity as shameful, at which point they sowed fig leaves into loincloths.”

"People are more open as far as hearing the word of God, and speaking the word of God. I consider this a gift and a privilege God has given me,” Parker also told ABC 13.

Boko Haram's Idealogy Is Not Islamic, Its Devilish — Buhari

Former Head of State and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), has reacted to the recent massacre by terrorist sect Boko Haram in borno state by describing the sect as devils.

He described the ideology fueling the Boko Haram insurgence as devilish and senseless, adding that it should not be given space in any civilized society. This came as the Federal Government declared, yesterday, that the Air Force and the Army have stepped up their air and land attacks to checkmate the terrorists.

Buhari in an unprecedented rebuke against the sectarian violence, called on the security agencies and the authorities to intensify vigilance just as he expressed amazement that the terrorists and criminal elements could still express themselves despite the heavy militarization of the region. Gen. Buhari’s posted his statement on his facebook page on Sunday night after the latest reports of about 121 deaths.

The three-time presidential candidate and national leader of APC in the statement said: “We condemn the recent escalation of senseless violence in Borno State. Our prayers and sympathies are with the victims and their families.

“There is no justification for this wanton disregard for the sanctity and dignity of human life. Any ideology that trafficks in terror and violence is a devilish ideology that has no place in a civilized society. “This is the time for our security agencies and those responsible for the security and well-being of our citizens to intensify vigilance in order to mitigate future occurrences.

“Because, it is inconceivable that despite heavy militarization, terrorists and other criminal elements are still able to terrify the defenceless populations of those areas. “May God grant us the strength and unity to overcome this.”
