She made the big reveal in the final episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. Speaking to her mum, Kim confessed she had achieved everything she had set her mind to, yet she had no partner to share that with because she and her husband were mostly apart. She said she realized she and Kanye got along best when they were living apart – something she says she isn’t proud of – so she thought she could be fine with that and just find fulfillment in her kids. But she turned 40 and realized she didn’t want to have a husband who lives apart from her. She said: She then goes on to tell her mum what she wants from her partner. “I want someone that we have the same shows I common. I want someone that wants to workout with me,” she said.

T.B Joshua: “God will punish you”
Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has blasted Household of God Church’s pastor, Chris Okotie, following a post he shared few days after the death of Prophet T.B Joshua. The clergyman had often criticized the founder of Synagogue Church of All Nation, late T.B Joshua when he was alive and had once questioned his ”source of power”. Few days after the death of T.B Joshua, Okotie shared a post which many Nigerians interpreted as an attack on TB Joshua’s memory and goodwill. His post reads; ‘The wizard at Endor who assumed the title Emmanuel, has been consumed by divine indignation. And now his disciples bewail his ignominious exit.” Late T.B Joshua when he was alive, popularly used the term “Emmanuel” and his popular TV station is called “Emmanuel TV” which made Nigerians to speculate that the clergy was mocking the deceased. Reacting to the shade on social media, FFK who is a friend of late T.B Joshua slammed Okotie for mocking the late clergy. According to FFK, if anyone was a wizard, it must be Okotie. He added that God will ”punish” him for attacking Joshua. FFK in a lengthy post shared on his social media page wrote; “Africans do not celebrate great men. They rather take delight in celebrating mediocre men. Africans happily destroy great men and if possible look for their mistakes to nail them. So sad that they destroyed Prophet T.B. Joshua on a daily basis. Finally he has left them and what he was doing, they can’t do! Evil continent!”- Prophet (Dr.) Emmanuel Badu Kobi, Glorious Wave Church International, Accra, Ghana, 10th June, 2021. Prophet Emmanuel Kobi has spoken the truth and he has spoken for millions. I commend his courage. Sadly Pastor Kris Okotie of Household of God Church International has taken another course and confirmed Kobi’s concerns about the nature of the African. Whilst the rest of the world is busy mourning Prophet Temitope Balogun Joshua of the Synagogue of All Nations (SCOAN) and celebrating his outstanding ministry and legacy, he has chosen to slander him in the most grievous manner even whilst his body still remains in the mortuary! He has said the most uncharitable and unprintable things about the Prophet which I refuse to repeat here. I am always reluctant to join issues publicly with men and women of God but Okotie’s insults on my friend and brother, who is no longer here to defend himself, are so grave and damaging that they cannot go unanswered. My response to him is as follows. I have always had so much respect and affection for you right from the days that we were at the Nigerian Law School in 1985. Your life and ministry, including the beautiful songs you used to sing, fascinated and inspired me. However with your foul-mouthed and vicious assault and utterly inexplicable, irresponsible and unprovoked attack on the person of TB Joshua, all that has gone with the wind. Today I have nothing but contempt, scorn and disdain for you and, simply put, I loathe and despise you. To borrow our President’s words, I will now talk to you in the language that you can understand. You mock my brother in death yet you appear to have forgetten that death comes to us all. It is only a matter of time. Evidently you have no respect for yourself and no fear of the Living God whom you claim to serve. Even if you never liked TB Joshua or you had reason to suspect that his source of power was questionable, couldn’t you have just kept your mouth shut and let those of us that believed in him, loved him and respected him mourn him in peace? You seek to villify and shame the memory of a humble, gentle, decent and kind soul who was a million times the man and servant of God that you are or could ever be and who has just gone to meet his maker. You insult the memory of a man who was a great inspiration and source of strength to millions of God-fearing and decent people from all over the world and you have sought to dishonor and discredit his ministry, his memory, his family, his friends and his legacy. God will surely punish you for this. Worse of all is the fact that you are a coward who, as is characteristic of all cowards, waited until he died and was no longer around to defend himself before you opened your dirty little mouth to insult him. You call him the wizard of Endor but if anybody is a wizard it is you. If anyone is a magician it is you. If anyone is a dark force and wicked soul that indulges in necromancy and devil worship, it is you. If anyone is a follower of satan, it is you. If anyone is a fake Pastor and false Prophet, it is you. The more you attempt to dishonor a man like TBJ and bring sorrow to his wife, children, admirers, followers and Church members all over the world the more God will cause you to suffer failure and sorrow and to shed tears. There are millions of us that love this great son of the South West and indeed Nigeria even though we are not even members of his Church. We admire him and stand by him even in death. You are not fit to lick his shoes or to clean his posterior. I advise you to respect yourself and respect the office and calling which you claim to have. I counsel you to set aside your hate-filled and envy-fuelled obsession with this great man and leave him alone. You are meant to be a man of God who prays for and helps to heal the wounds of those who have suffered the loss of loved ones. You are not meant to pour salt on those wounds and inflict even more pain by damning the memory and destroying the legacy of those they have lost. You are also meant to pray for the forgiveness of the sins of the departed and call on the Lord to grant them eternal peace. You are not meant to ask God to punish them and ask for them to burn in hell. What you have done and the words you have used against TBJ is a great embarrassment to the Church, to every Christian and Muslim cleric and leader in this county and to every true believer. It is a disgrace. It is an outrage. It is madness. It is evidence of a diseased mind, deep psychosis and chronic delusions of grandeur and I urge you to have your head examined. Even the greatest sinner, once repented, deserves God’s love, mercy and forgiveness in death. That is what the glorious Gospel teaches us and that is why our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, shed His blood on the cross. None of us is free of sin and we all fall short of the glory of God. You are not perfect and neither am I. We must all carry our crosses and burdens through this oftentimes difficult journey of life and more often than not we all face extraordinary challenges and make inexcusable mistakes. That is what makes us human and ultimately only God has the right to judge us. Only He sees our hearts. Only He knows our deepest secrets. TBJ, though a tried and tested man of God who shook the entire world with his remarkable ministry and who was undoubtedly one of God’s ‘end-time’ Generals, never claimed that he was a Saint or that he was infallible and neither can you, me or anyone else. We must all repent and make our peace with our God before our life’s journey ends and we must do so in the fear of our Lord and in all humility. TBJ has run his race and finished his course and I have no doubt that he has been welcomed into paradise by the hosts of Heaven and our God. I have no doubt that he would have received a massive commendation for the great work that he did for the Lord and the Church whilst on earth. I have no doubt that the Lord would have thanked him for the millions of souls that he brought into the Kingdom and led to Christ in his 40 years of ministry. I have no doubt that he now resides in glory with our Resurrected Lord in the peace, comfort, blessing and joy of Heaven. The question for people like you who seek to diminish, destroy and judge him even in death is whether you will ever get to Heaven as well or whether, when your work on earth is done, you will end up in hell where every son and daughter of perdition, every unrepentant servant of satan and every hater and wicked soul is destined to go. Permit me to end with an insightful contribution from Mr. Igho David which you would do well to read over and over again. He said, “Even the demonic Jezebeel described the great Jehu, who God had anointed to be King of Israel, as a murderer and all sorts of other names. Yet in reality she was rather the murderer, thief, liar, evil and possessed one and she was the one that was controlled by the demons that her father had dedicated her to and served. Jezebeel was damn eloquent when she spoke about Jehu just like Pastor Chris Okotie was when he spoke against Prophet TB Joshua even at his death. The spirit of Jezebeel doesn’t just mean a loose, lying, wicked, hate-filled, manipulative and murderous woman with heavy make-up on her face and long painted nails. The spirit of Jezebeel can possess and control even Pastors that are called by God”. I concur. Finally hear this. Before you mount your accursed pulpit, unleash your venomous tongue, cry your caustic cry and lift your poisonous pen to launch yet another vicious and unprovoked attack against an innocent and kind soul who did nothing but make all those around him happy and who has just passed away, I urge you to meditate on the following scriptures. The Bible says, “let he who is free of sin cast the first stone”. It says “touch not my annointed and do my Prophets no harm”. It says “who is he that lays a charge before God’s elect? It is Christ that justifies!” For a celebrated man of God like you to neglect these admonitions is a grave error which may result in unimaginable consequences for you and what remains of your tattered ministry. Christianity is about being humane, kind, charitable, gentle, long-suffering and humble. It is about having empathy for the weak, the suffering, the vulnerable and those that are in pain. It is about loving the unlovable and forgiving those that have hurt and offended you. It is about kindness, peace, long-suffering and the ability and desire to bring joy to all those around you. It is about celebrating and encouraging the success of others that are leaders and members of the Body of Christ and it is about protecting the mother Church from ridicule, shame, contempt and destruction from those who hate our Lord and who have contempt for our faith. These are virtues and qualities that Prophet T.B. Joshua espoused and exhibited throughout his life. Any so-called man or woman of God who fails to appreciate these virtues, who refuses to acknowledge and practice them and who goes out of his or her way to destroy the reputation, name and Ministry of his or her fellow clerics or, worse still, that of one of God’s ‘end-time’ Generals, is unworthy of being called a servant of God and is nothing but scum. Such a creature is an enemy within, an accuser of the brethren, an agent of Beelzebub, a lying snake, a self-absorbed nincompoop and a ravenous and savage beast. May God deliver you and may you find peace.

Realme Book and Realme Pad are likely to launch on June 15
Realme India and Europe’s CEO, Madhav Sheth, released a teaser yesterday, June 9th, that it was likely that Realme’s first laptop will launch soon. Not long after that teaser, a report from Android Authority has exposed that, the company’s new and first laptop will be called Realme Book. Android Authority also left the public with some shots of the laptop. The published photos of the Realme Book from Android Authority are not official photos from Realme, rather they are leaked shots. Realme Book photo What do the leaked photos show? From the first glance of looking at a photo of this laptop, one gets the image of an Apple MacBook inspired design. The laptop is made of an aluminium build, it has a sleek chassis, it has a logo “Realme” written on its lid. The laptop will also support stereo output since it has two speaker grilles at its bottom. Although there is no way to know for sure what the options for connectivity are because they are not displayed in the image, but it is speculated that the Realme Book will have a USB-C port for charging. What about Realme Pad? Since it is speculated that Realme Pad will launch on the same day as Realme Book on June 15th, we should brief you about it a bit. Realme Pad, just like the name suggests is a Realme tablet. Realme’s CMO Francis Wang, ran a poll among Realme fans to decide to choose between Realme Pad or Realme Tab as the tablet’s name. And majority voted for Realme Pad. The tablet is expected to have the typical structure of a tablet. It will have a metal configuration, a square shaped body and cameras at its rear.

Apple’s orders for camera spare parts for iPhone 13 might surpass this year’s Android market
It is no news that Apple is set to release a new series of the iPhone before this year runs out. The iPhone 13 series is already much anticipated and the phone has been reported to come with some major camera upgrading. It is reported that Apple has been putting pressure on the camera component suppliers recently. This is in a bid for the company to meet up with Apple’s demand. Apple’s logo According to a report from DigiTimes, Apple has sent a demand call for its Taiwanese based supplier of VCM (Voice Call Motor), to speed up the process and produce up to 30% to 40% more of the initial amount of supplies. This sudden increment in the amount of component produced is due to a high demand already from interested buyers who are already in the line-up. If this rate of increment that Apple ordered its suppliers is true, then the number of camera parts that Apple will get for its iPhone 13 series, will likely surpass the entire market for Android devices in 2021. Also, this concentration that Apple is giving to the manufacturing of the camera parts, suggests that, Apple might be concentrating on camera quality and specification for its incoming iPhone 13. Rumours state that, the Apple’s iPhone 13 series will have better 3D sensors for capturing face ID. There will also be upgrades in the phone’s camera modules which will be better than last year’s iPhone 12 series. Orders are projected to rise sharply starting from July for the new phone series.

Huawei had just 4% of the smartphone market sales in 2021 first quarter
Due to the ban of the sales of Huawei products in the USA in 2020, Huawei has been struggling to make significant sales. Also, since the smartphone market has been recovering from the COVID plunge that it experienced last year, the growth smartphone market has greatly improved in 2021. But Huawei still has not made significant amount of sales despite the comeback in the world of smartphones. Previously, Huawei had been getting a 20% year on year growth but following reports released recently, Huawei only had a total of 4% of the total market sales so far in the first quarter of 2021.

Graphical report of smartphone market sales from Counterpoint Chinese phone companies like Xiaomi, saw a significant growth in sales in regions like Europe and India. While Apple saw a decline in sales in Europe.

Don’t Confirm Onochie For INEC Job, NBA Tells Senate
The Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has opposed the confirmation of the Personal Assistant to the President on Social Media, Mrs. Lauretta Onochie, as a commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by the Senate Committee on INEC. Chairman of NBA Section on Public Interest and Development Law (NBA-SPIDEL), Monday Ubani, raised the association’s objection to the confirmation of Mrs. Onochie in a letter to the Chairman of the Senate Committee on INEC, Kabiru Gaya. Ubani urged the Senate committee to reject her nomination and deny her confirmation as INEC Commissioner. He argued that Mrs. Onochie is unfit for the position she was nominated for, being as a card-carrying member of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) or any other party for that matter. “I also doubt that Section 154 (3) of the Constitution was complied with, which prescribes that the President nominates INEC Commissioner in consultation with the Council of State. “Paragraph B of Part 1 of the Third Schedule of the Constitution provides that the Council of State shall have power to advise the President in the exercise of his power with respect to (iv) the INEC, including the appointment of members of the commission. When was this Section and paragraph complied with, if I may ask? READ ALSO: CNN lied to the world about Nigeria – Presidential aide, Lauretta Onochie “Most importantly, Paragraph 14 of Part I of the Third Schedule of the Constitution (as amended) in Section 30 Number 1 of 2020, says a member of INEC should be ‘non-partisan’. Can Mrs. Lauretta Onochie be regarded by anyone in Nigeria, knowing her antecedent as the Special Assistant to the President, as ‘non-partisan’ under the Nigerian context? The right answer is No,” Ubani added.

Only the National Assembly can remove the President from office. So, the President should disabuse his mind from that.

Man who slapped French President Macron gets 4 months jail sentence
The 28-year-old man, Damien Tarel who slapped France’s president, Emmanuel Macron, in the face has been sentenced to four months in prison. A court in the south-east city of Valence convicted Tarel on Thursday June 10, on a charge of violence against a person invested with public authority. He was given four months in prison and an additional 14-month suspended sentence, and was banned from ever holding public office and from owning weapons for five years. Tarel described himself as a right-wing or extreme-right “patriot” and member of the gilets jaunes economic protest movement. After the incident, Tarel acknowledged hitting the president with a “rather violent” slap. “When I saw his friendly, lying look, I felt disgust, and I had a violent reaction,” he told the court. “It was an impulsive reaction … I was surprised myself by the violence.” He said he and his friends had considered bringing an egg or a cream pie to throw at the president, but had dropped the idea – and insisted that the slap wasn’t premeditated. “I think that Emmanuel Macron represents the decline of our country,” he said, without explaining what he meant. Macron wouldn’t comment Thursday on the trial, but insisted that “nothing justifies violence in a democratic society, never.” “It’s not such a big deal to get a slap when you go toward a crowd to say hello to some people who were waiting for a long time,” he said in an interview with broadcaster BFM-TV. “We must not make that stupid and violent act more important than it is.” At the same time, the president added, “we must not make it banal, because anyone with public authority is entitled to respect.” Another man arrested in the ruckus that followed the slap, identified by the prosecutor as Arthur C, will be judged at a later date, in 2022, for illegal possession of weapons. The prosecutor’s office said that as well as finding weapons, police who searched the home of Arthur C also found books on the art of war, a copy of Adolf Hitler’s manifesto Mein Kampf and two flags, one symbolising communists and another of the Russian Revolution.

Samsung has begun the production of its smallest image sensors
Samsung Electronics, the popular South Korean smartphone company, has just recently announced that they have begun the production of small image sensors of 0.64 micrometer pixel. The image sensor is named Samsung ISOCELL JN1. These sensors are the first of their kind in the history of Samsung’s sensor production. Also, the sensor will have a camera quality of up to 50MP with other impressive technologies embedded in it. One of such technologies that the sensor will be using is the ISOCELL 2.0 which Samsung claims will be able to improve the light sensitivity rate to up to 16%. Other technologies will also be put into this sensor like Smart ISO and Double Super PDAF. All of these technologies will be packed into a small optical format. Samsung’s JN1 Sensor This soon to be released image sensor is expected to be a very unique one and to be very versatile too. Though the optical format of this JN1 is 1/2.6 inch, it is still compatible with other Samsung phone products with 1/2.8 inch optical formats. This means that this new sensor can be used in telephoto cameras, front facing cameras and so on. Also, when manufacturers want to make a smartphone of slimmer, slicker and more trimmed designs, this image sensor would be perfect. To take low light photographs, this sensor will use the four to one binding technology by Samsung. This technology is called the Tetrapixel and it will bind four adjacent 0.64 micrometer pixel together to form one big 1.28 micrometer pixel. This will ensure that the camera has higher light sensitivity and therefore brighter pictures. This image will also support up to 4K resolution video recording.

Infinix Next Smartphone May Supports 160W Ultra Flash Charging
Whether you like it or not, Infinixmobility is making its users happy with its range of quality devices. The smartphone company mainly focuses on developing markets like Nigeria, Egypt, and Indonesia. Over time, we’ve seen Infinix improved on all its devices with good specifications. The good news is that, according to reports from XDA developers, the company is working on releasing an Infinix-branded 160W Ultra flash charger, intended for use in a future mobile phone. What this means is that Infinix might be working on a phone that supports significantly faster charging than most other Android devices on the market right now. For example, the OnePlus 9 Pro tops out at 65W, and Xiaomi’s Mi 11 Pro and Mi 11 Ultra can reach 67W. The adapter on the photo sure looks huge, as is to be expected for a brick this powerful. It’s unclear when we’ll see a phone ready to take advantage of it but it can’t be long now. At the moment, information is sketchy about the 160W super-fast charger, perhaps it might even be for something power-consuming different from a smartphone. Just recently, Infinix launched the Infinix Note 10 Pro, a budget flagship with Helio G95, and runs on Android 11. The device supports 18W charging which is fast, but not fast enough as 160W. We await more information on this in the coming weeks.

JUSUN Suspends Two Month-Old Strike
The Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN) has decided to suspend its strike, which has been in effect for over two months, from Monday. This decision was made during the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting held between the body and the federal government in Abuja. The Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Ibrahim Muhammad, was in attendance as the National Judicial Council (NJC) met with JUSUN leaders on Tuesday, urging the striking court workers set aside their grievances with the government in the interest of the general public. Last Saturday, the body had asked its members to endure the hardship occasioned by their ongoing strike a little longer, assuring that negotiations would soon be concluded. JUSUN embarked on a nationwide strike on April 6 to demand full implementation of financial autonomy for the judicial arm of government. The negotiations aim to either reach an agreement on terms for implementation of the autonomy, and consequently end the strike. The shutdown of the judicial system in the country has stalled several important proceedings such as the trial of former Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Madueke, in order to avoid gross abuses of rights, the National Human Rights Committee (NHRC) of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) had directed its members to visit police stations and bail suspects detained for minor offences. In May 2020, President Muhammadu Buhari signed an Executive Order granting financial autonomy to the legislature and the judiciary across the 36 states.
