Pastor sends pregnant wife packing 87 days after wedding, blames her for low tithe and congregation in his church

Image
Apostle Kenneth Kiarie of God’s Covenant Holiness Church in Mihang’o, Kayole in Nairobi ended his marriage of 87 days and sent his 23-year-old pregnant wife packing. They wedded in April this year. The 30-year-old pastor told The Nairobian that he hurriedly married Marion Wagitu “because being a pastor, I needed a wife officially married in church." adding that he borrowed money to finance their wedding which has now left him in debt. The two fell in love when Marion, whom he saw as a 'humble rural girl' attended his church. The pastor is being accused of throwing out his newly wedded wife to marry another woman. Even before the honeymoon was over, their marriage hit the rocks sometime in July, with both parties pointing accusing fingers at each other. "He used to tell me that if I left, I would not get a husband, and that he had scores of beautiful girls hanging around him," says Marion, who is now back at her Murang’a village. ...

Your calls for Buhari's resignation is silly- APC tells PDP

Image
APC has described as silly the calls by PDP for President Buhari to return the economic to the way it was before he assumed office in 2015 and then resign. APC reacted via a statement signed by its National Secretary, Mai Mala Buni. Read below... The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is drawn to the latest ridiculous demand by a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari return the country to the the voodoo economics and reckless fiscal policies the country was subjected to during the immediate-past PDP administration. Also, PDP’s silly call for the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari is not worth the ink it is written with. Hence the APC will not dissipate energy responding. The PDP faction by its demand to return the country to the years where looting of the public treasury was the order of the day, has taken its orchestrated plot to deflect attention from the economic mess it left behind...

Doe in court papers Dr Larry sexually abused her from 1994 to 2000 while the other gymnast, Rachael Denhollander, filed a report against Nassar last month at Michigan State University.    The law suit also alleges that USA Gymnastics association knew about the sexual abuse but refused to do anything about it because it feared a sex abuse scandal would damage its fund-raising efforts. "Unfortunately, they have proven time and again that they are more interested in protecting the reputation of their multi-million-dollar enterprise than the child athletes who are entrusted to their care," said the Olympian's attorney, John Manly. Sadly, I believe that our client is not the only victim and others will soon come forward.
