A Kenyan pastor, Archbishop Emmanuel, known for wielding a machete during church services, has explained that he uses it as a symbolic weapon to fight evil spirits.

In an interview with Afrimax, he shared that his unconventional practice has sparked mixed reactions—while some people are afraid of him, others regard him as a savior.

Reflecting on his past, he revealed that 24 years ago, he lived as a heavy drinker until he experienced a divine calling that transformed his life.

He said: “God called me, he told me to stop joking and start serving him, God told me to use the same method prophet samuel used carrying a matchete to represent God kingdom because the place he was sending me was dangerous.”

He noted that every morning, he wakes up to sharpen his weapons because inside his church anything is possible 

One of his church emmebr said: “Since i started attending emmaunel church i have seen countless miracles the lame stands up and walk, he cures serious diseases even HIV, he healed HIV and so many deadly diseases.”

According to Archbishop Emmanuel, he does not expect his church members to pay money for tithes, unlike other churches that often demand large sums from their congregants.

“One day god told me something and i got angry, he said you will die poor on earth I was frustrated because i thought my miracles, my preaching would build me mega churches but later i understood God meant I would die poor here but be rich in heaven.

“Those we think are foolish on earth are the wisest in the kingdom of God and it’s true i can’t be rich because i don’t preach in wealthy areas where rich people hide, my mission is to save this place (Slum) the dangerous places where violence rules where pastors fears to go but for me it is not just for preaching it is a mission from God.” He added

Reacting to the viral vidoes of Pastor Emmanuel using machete, One of the church member said: “I really don’t know why people out there are so concerned about our bishop ways he knows exactly what he is doing they are just critics they dont see how many lives he saved, how much he sacrifice, many pastors abandoned this place and left us to suffer but God didn’t abandon us.

“Didn’t God Saul and later made him Paul? so why should God forget about people in the slums, we didn’t chose to live here thank God he sent us a savior, Bishop Emmanuel .”

A man named Yesu Wa Tongaren, who claims to be Jesus Christ, has revealed that he “died and rose again,” saying he was sent by God to teach people about the harsh and merciless nature of the world. He also warned that calamities are coming and that no one will be spared. See here

In an interview with Afrimax, Yesu Wa Tongaren stated that he had previously told his church members that one day he would receive visitors from Rwanda. He claimed that when that moment arrived, it would serve as confirmation that he is the true Jesus Christ.

“I will go to America, France, and other places in Europe. Even going to Israel, where Jesus lived, is still me going there because I am him. People struggle to understand this because spiritual matters differ greatly from physical ones. They are still very much in the flesh,” he said.

When asked how he managed to escape after his followers attempted to crucify him, he responded: “It is God alone that can reveal to them and enable them to know that i am the son of God my legal defender was also there …… God used him and it was all God’s will it pleased me because it went as God has planned he told them if i was not Jesus then they should bring their Jesus and show him but they could not they realized that I could not deny the father

Regarding those who wanted to crucify him and why people struggle to understand him, he said: “Last year there were people who wanted to cricufy me the same evil spiritis that existed in those who committed atrocities two thoussand years ago when i was in judea”

He also spoke about people’s fascination with him, saying: “Water or wine that people talk about they have it here on earth and drink it alot which is why people love us and call out to jesus whenever they see us it is a wonderful thing that God has done”

In a touching interview with Afrimax, a woman identified as Olive Kagendo opened up about how she lost a staggering 200 million shillings in a single day—all because of the deep love she had for her husband. See here

Olive revealed that she had been married for 20 years, during which she devoted her time, energy, and finances to building a life with her partner. Throughout their relationship, she stood by him, offering her unwavering love and support.

However, her world came crashing down when her husband suddenly changed. According to Olive, not only did he turn his back on her, but he also evicted her from their home, leaving her with absolutely nothing—despite everything she had sacrificed.

 “I have built a lot of lands in Nairobi we have a lot of properties and even now this is our matrimonial room whereby i removed this from hope I cant explain why it is being done to me” She said while she cried in a part

Narrating the ordeal, she said: “I joined my high school in 1995 and whereby when i got to my high school there came a guy where we are going to the same church with him but he was ahead of me in terms of education …. when i was in high school, he was in the university but when i was in form 2 he came to do his attachment in my school this is where he got interested in me 

“And from this time, when he was taking me, he was my teacher now doing some tuition in my high school so he was teaching me physics and mathematics and from there, he got interested in me he never told me because this is our culture from our church whereby when you get interested in a girl you must go and make a report to the elders of the church and then the girl is preserved for you so it took sometime until i completed my high school and when i completed my high school he came he came to the elders of the church and made the report and then this was also taken to my parents and when i finished my high school, i got married to him.

“He came to our home and all the marriage ceremonies were arranged and i was married through our marriage customary law in 2005”

According to Olive, after she eventually married her husband, they moved to Nairobi, Kenya, in search of a better life. Determined to build a strong foundation, Olive said she worked tirelessly—brick by brick—to support their growth. She sacrificed her own comfort, ignored the red flags, and poured her energy into making the marriage work.

She explained that despite the clear warning signs in her husband’s behavior, she continued to hope and pray for him, believing that things would eventually get better. But in the end, she realized that all her efforts were in vain.

Reflecting on their struggles, Olive recalled how difficult things were in the early years: “It was the first time for him to work so our life was so hard and when we started our life, we started from scratch without anything 

“So he brought me to Nairobi I was very happy and i was very new in Nairobi so we came and looked for the house where it was bedsitter and this bedsitter we didn’t have anything especially the household items even a place to sleep we just slept on the floor and until he got his salary we went to buy mattress and also a bed and life started from there so his job was good and we started a Good life from there we were also advanced when it was back in 2007 he got a nice job in Kenya and corruption where the salary was better and the love started so from where we started it also came to a point where that now we were able to own some plots of land in Nairobi these plots, we built them up till a point whereby we had income from these houses 

“In 2008, we were blessed with out firstborn a girl named “Queen Shoba” and this time now we were sitting in our own houses the rental houses 

“in 2009, my husband got transfer from Nairobi headquarter to Mombasa still in Kenya and corruption whereby he went and worked there even then, I think the rank was better now we were able to build the houses comfortably … Then life was good we started another business 

How she found out he was cheating on her, she added: “After sometime, himself alone was coming to check on us after every two weeks, he was coming …. when i go to visit him, he could stop me from going to the place where he was in Mombasa 

“One day i decided to go quietly, when i went quietly to Mombasa, I traveled overnight with my small baby when i reached to Mombasa I went to the home where he was I found the house was locked when I called him he didn’t answer my calls so i decided to call our pastor in Mombasa when i called he told me I am a pastor and I don’t want to lie to you your husband got married to another woman and when he was leaving he told me when you come i should not disclose this to you 

“So the pastor and another friends of him they came praying for me … the bus fare in the evening I went back and surely i was very tired with the little baby and very much stressed because of this”

Olive revealed that after everything fell apart, her husband never reached out—not a single phone call, no apology, no explanation. He simply ghosted her, forcing her to come to terms with the painful reality on her own.

She added: “But when I came back to Nairobi, I just kept quiet I didn’t ask him because of the love I have for him I didn’t imagine whether he can do this to me but all known, it was true that he was in a relationship and when it was 2010, I came to realize that even now he has given birth to a baby with this wife now this is when the threats started a lot … This is where life started being on my side because now i could not even make calls to him whenever I have emergency maybe the children are sick or maybe when i need him I could not even access him 

“It went there up to 2012 … when I saw how things are being like is when i told him now off course we have enough income would you mind if we build another home he accepted and told me go ahead and look for a land so we can build a home and the home now is which we got where we are today 

“The first time I told him I got this baby he told me that the baby is not his”

“When he went back to work, he called me when he was in town and told me i want to see you today up asked him why don’t you tell me what you want to tell me in the evening he told me no i want you to come to town because I have a lot of pain in me i didn’t go but in the evening he came back home and he didn’t come with that wife, he came with a divorce letter this is now 2016 he came with a divorce letter a court order for divorce and he told me i want us to divorce i asked him why are you divorcing me, what have I done wrong to you that you are divorcing me he told me I want us to divorce so what i did i told him no problem then I called my family members and told them that my husband has come with a divorce letter and I explained to them what has been happening to me one of my uncle told me now you see things are happening like this when i see a man coming to you with court papers to tell you that you want to divorce you just sign and send those papers because the decision he has made has make to you cant change it 

“So in my head i didn’t understand why I am getting divorced i didn’t sign the papers overnight he kept on telling me sign the papers but I didn’t sign them”

“So the following day I was to go and make uniforms because now we had a security firm whereby i was the manager I was the one who was going for night patrols managing everything and we had good tenders … so the business was so good so that morning I was to go and make some uniform for new guards where I was to take them for some initials and when i went to town, before I got out of the house he told me when you finish picking up the uniforms i want you to come to town.

“Then i went to town he told me let us meet near the Kenya power house when I went, I met him when he was standing there waiting for me then he became somehow harsh to me he told me I want you to sign this papers so when i remember the ones from my family I just decided to sign the papers and i signed the papers and was supposed to appear in court within 14days and then I told him I don’t know anything about the court matters and everything … he told me the days are near I would tell you what to do 

“So I waited and was counting my 14days which i was told he never told me anything Me I would never go to court anymore so even that one I didn’t follow”

She shared that she fell a sick one day and her husband came to the hospital to come and visit her so she was thinking he came out of love but only for him to tell her that his other wife found out he was still seeing her.

A 29-year-old man described by police as having misogynistic views and posing a risk to women has been banned from entering or loitering around female public toilets, changing rooms and other women-only spaces in the United Kingdom. Get latest updates here on Our Whatsapp channel here

The man, identified as Victor Valentine from the St Paul’s area of Cheltenham, was handed a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) at Cheltenham Magistrates’ Court on August 24, despite never being convicted of a sexual offence.

The court heard that Valentine is a self-proclaimed misogynist and a member of an online incel group. Police also said he has a history of unprovoked violence against women in public and has repeatedly breached the conditions of several civil orders imposed on him.

A Sexual Harm Prevention Order is a preventative measure used to protect members of the public by placing restrictions on individuals considered to pose a risk of sexual harm.

The order against Valentine will remain in place until August 25, 2031.

Under the conditions, Valentine is prohibited from using a computer or any other internet-enabled device unless he complies with a number of requirements imposed by police.

He must notify the police VISOR team within three days of obtaining a device and register it with them. Any device he uses must be capable of retaining and displaying his internet-use history, while the history must be preserved without data being deleted.

Location services must also remain switched on, with location data not deleted. Valentine must make the device available for police inspection whenever requested.

He is also prohibited from possessing more than one internet-enabled device at any given time.

The order further prevents him from having a registered guest or alias account on a specified incel website or any other online platform, forum, chatroom or application that promotes or facilitates incel-related ideology or content.

Valentine has also been banned from entering, using or loitering near female public toilets, changing rooms or other female-only spaces for any reason.

Police said violating the conditions of the order could lead to his arrest and a maximum prison sentence of five years.

Detective Sergeant Paul Howell of Gloucestershire Constabulary’s Public Protection Unit said: “Valentine is well-known for his misogynistic hostility and violence towards women, and we are pleased to have secured this SHPO against him.

“Even though Valentine has not been convicted of any s3xual offences, this is a preventative measure to keep women and girls in the county safe from harm. This order will reduce Valentine’s ability to further explore his ideology and gives police the opportunity to monitor his behaviour in the community to help reduce his risk of further offending.

“Tackling violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a priority for Gloucestershire Constabulary and we will do all we can to prevent crimes, bring offenders to justice, and protect women and girls.”

The restrictions will remain in force for five years, during which police will be able to monitor Valentine’s compliance with the order.

A woman who suffered devastating facial injuries after being attacked by a dog has opened up about the incident and revealed the difficult journey she has faced through multiple surgeries.  Get the latest updates on our WhatsApp channel.

The woman, identified as Samantha Redding, recalled how what was supposed to be a brief visit to a friend’s father’s house turned into a life-changing experience.

According to Samantha, she had gone to the house to pick up her friend, only to discover that she had already left to meet her at Samantha’s home.

She said she had spent only about 10 minutes inside the house and was preparing to leave when the dog suddenly attacked her.

Samantha recalled: “I went to my friend’s dad’s house to get her but she’d already left to meet me at my house.

“I was only in the house for about 10 minutes and I was getting ready to leave.

“I went to pick up my bag and the dog latched on to my face.

“The dog had never been nippy to me before.

“I actually can’t remember much from then except the dog growling and then the pain.

“Then I heard everyone shouting.

“I can’t remember how the dog got off.

“All I can remember is turning round after and seeing my face in the mirror and thinking my life was over.

“The dog was huge, taller than me when it stands on its back legs and probably weighs around the same as me, but it had never been nippy to me before.”

After the attack, Samantha managed to leave the house and contact her parents while she was being taken for medical treatment.

She said her parents initially thought she was joking when she called them because of the severity of what had happened.

Recalling the moments after the attack, she said: “In the car, I phoned my mum and dad who thought I was joking.

“I facetimed them and all they said was they’d meet me at A&E.

“I wasn’t feeling much pain but I think that was the shock.

“My mum burst into tears when she saw me

“That’s when I realised how bad it was

“My face looked like something from a horror movie.

“I looked like a zombie and honestly I couldn’t see it getting better.

“There are times I wish the dog had killed me so I wouldn’t have to go through all of the operations.

“I thought I would look like a monster for the rest of my life.”
Doctors warned she needed several operations

Samantha was later transferred to Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow, where specialists assessed the extent of her injuries.

Doctors took her into theatre to clean the wounds and determine how badly her face had been damaged.

She was informed that she would need between three and four major operations as surgeons worked to reconstruct her face.

For Samantha, the prospect of undergoing repeated surgeries while dealing with the physical and emotional effects of the attack was overwhelming.

She said: “This was terrifying.

“I was in constant pain, unable to eat except through a tube and my mental health was obviously taking a dip.

“I was told my next surgery would be a week later, as I needed lots of IV antibiotics before.

“They were going to have to take a graft from my arm to put on my face and a graft from my leg to cover the one on my arm.

“They were also taking veins from my arm to give me blood flow to the new patch on my face.

“I would need a tracheotomy as the operation would be almost 10 hours and I would be in the ICU after.”
Samantha said the consequences of those few minutes have continued to affect almost every part of her life.

She explained that she stayed away from her younger brothers for several weeks because she was afraid her injuries would frighten them.

She said: “My whole life has been affected by those ten minutes.

“I didn’t see my little brothers for five weeks as I didn’t want to scare them.

“All my family was amazing but I could tell they were terrified as well.

“Tesco has been amazing in supporting me through this.

“They gave me a career break, which gives me a full year off, so I know my job will be there when I’m ready to go back.

“I think the hardest part is getting through all the surgeries.

“I get used to how I look and get a little confidence back and then it changes again after every surgery.”
Although Samantha has undergone several procedures and continues to recover, she said the psychological effects of the attack remain difficult.

She still experiences memories of the moment the dog attacked her and said looking at her reflection can be painful.

She added:

“I get flashbacks of the dog’s face jumping up at me.

“I’ll always remember how hard life was in the hospital.

“When I look in the mirror, I hate it.

“As of now, all of the lacerations have been stitched and my skin graft is healing nicely.

“I still don’t have a lip.

“I just need to trust the process even though it can feel like it’s going nowhere. I can see the difference from January to now.

“I wish I could look normal again and just hope that the doctors and specialists can help me feel like myself again.”

A 33-year-old woman has tragically died after receiving anaesthetic during a home tattoo session in Bogotá, Colombia. Get the latest updates on our WhatsApp channel.

The woman, identified as Yenifer García Valencia, died on August 15 after undergoing a session to complete a large tattoo covering her lower back and part of her buttocks.

According to her sister, Claudia García, Yenifer had struggled to cope with the pain during previous tattoo sessions and decided to look for someone who could administer anaesthetic so she could complete the work.

Claudia said:

“The tattoo was very large and was on her lower back, and she couldn’t cope with the pain without anaesthetic.

“She’d already had several sessions, I think two or three. So she decided to find someone who could give her anaesthetic.”

Claudia said Yenifer was introduced to a man who was presented to her as an anaesthetist, and she hired him to administer the medication during the tattoo session.

She added:

“As far as I understand, he didn’t inject her just once. He gave her another injection each time she said she was still in pain.

“They only found about two types of medication, and he said he had only administered one of them, which apparently is used to make tusi – or is an anaesthetic used for animals.”

When paramedics arrived at the scene, they reportedly found a box of Ketamin-50, a bottle of Dormicum containing midazolam, a used syringe and sterile powder intended for injectable solution.

Yenifer’s husband, Jonathan Cantor, told local media that the man hired to administer the drugs was questioned during the emergency response about what he had given her.

The man reportedly mentioned ketamine and several other medications, although the exact substances and amounts administered to Yenifer have not been established.

The man was identified as Juan Jaider Sánchez Goes. He reportedly charged COP 600,000 for administering the injections.
