Drunk In Madness: Beyonce Worshippers Open Church In US, Call Beyonce A “Divine Deity”

A church of Beyism, that is the religion of the followers of Beyonce, has officially opened in Atlanta, Georgia.

The religion was created by a group of 12 friends in Atlanta, including Minister Diva Pauline John Andrews. They regularly gathered each Sunday to sing Beyonce’s songs, and decided to form Beyism while smoking marijuana one day.

“We are very disappointed in the failure of the public to recognize the existence of a divine Deity walking among them,” Andrews stated. “We ask that you consider what is more real: an invisible spirit on high, or a walking, talking, breathing Goddess who shows you her true form daily?”

Beyists argue that Beyonce was sent to Earth to spread love, peace and joy. They don’t believe that the pop star is the Creator, but argue that she sits among the “throne of Gods”.

The church has published its own version of the Bible, known as the Beyble, which will soon be available free to the public. The congregation also hopes to build a temple and further expand its reach outside the Atlanta area.

According to the church, Beyists exist throughout the United States, Canada and England.

Tiwa Savage’s yet-to-be released explicit video causes controversy

Tiwa Savage will this week premiere her latest video ‘Wanted‘ on the internet and TV but even before then, the visuals is already causing some sort of controversy online. The video was premiered at an MTN gig on Wednesday, April 30, 2014 in Lagos. Our reporter says the video has got to be Tiwa’s most sexually suggestive music video so far. ‘It’s racy. Tiwa went all out on it, it will definitely stir some controversy‘. Only a few people have watched it but one thing we can tell you is that it has already caused controversy; after reports of the upcoming racy video hit the blogs, fans have practically attacked the singer, stating that she’s taking it a bit too far, trying to jump on the Beyoncé, Rihanna model (singers who constantly show a bit too much skin in their visuals). Of course 99 per cent of the harsh comments have come from women. Tiwa however has a word for her critics, explaining that she has every right to show off skin. ‘And before all you i-too-sabi come on here saying I am a celebrity and I should expect public scrutiny, that’s all well and good if the public have the right information but they don’t most of the time. I’m off to the beach to show more of my bikini body, because I’m married I should turn into a nun abi? Maybe if you worked on your body your husband will not be drooling over me.

Gunmen Raid Abuja School

Unknown gunmen have attacked a primary school at Nyanya the scene of recent bombing attacks in Abuja.
Multiple sources within and around the Vine International Academy school toldSaharaReporters that the gunmen launched the attack few minutes before 8 am.
No pupil or member of staff was hurt, but the gunmen snatched the school bus.
“We do not know if they are members of Boko Haram or if they are robbers”, an official of the school said.

“The sad thing is that parents do not want to know if it’s Boko Haram or not. Many of them are coming to take away their children out of panic”.
Nyanya was the target of two bomb attacks that left hundreds dead and scores injured last month, and residents of the area are now living in fear of further attacks.

Arsenal allowed to appeal Kieran Gibbs Red Card

The Football Association has confirmed that Arsenal can appeal Kieran Gibbs’ sending off on the grounds of “mistaken identity”.
Gibbs was dismissed in the first half of the 6-0 defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge for handball, despite the fact it was team-mate Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain who dived to push an Eden Hazard shot past the post.
Referee Andre Marriner, with the apparent aid of his assistant official, made the call to show Gibbs the red card despite protests from Oxlade-Chamberlain and the Arsenal players.
The FA confirmed that there was provision for Arsenal to appeal.
“Clubs can appeal mistaken identity to The FA, although The FA can pro-actively review also,” an FA tweet read.
“Following a red card clubs can also review possibility of a wrongful dismissal claim to The FA, unless dismissal is for 2 yellow cards.”
There is a precedent for the decision to be changed after League 1 side Preston had the wrong man sent off against Port Vale in November.
Striker Joe Garner was suspended retrospectively for three games after midfielder Neil Kilkenny had mistakenly been sent off.
Gibbs’ mistaken red card would not have happened under UEFA’s extra-officials policy, according to a spokesman for president Michel Platini.
It is a situation that Pedro Pinto, the chief of press for Platini, said could have been avoided if there was an extra assistant on the by-line.
Pinto wrote on Twitter: “What confusion at Chelsea-Arsenal with the pen decision. That’s why over 30 European countries have endorsed UEFA-backed 5 officials system.
“With an additional assistant referee on the end line, referee would not have got that sending off wrong. Technology is not the answer…”
Pinto claimed that “more eyeballs” were the key to improving referee decision-making rather than technology alone.
The remier League has employed goal-line technology for the first time this season – which would not have aided Marriner’s decision at Chelsea because it determines whether a shot has crossed the line only.
Pinto added on Twitter: “More eyeballs are the answer. GLT helps with goal line decisions, but five officials system gives referee more angles of vision. It’s not one vs the other.”
