Philips Launches Clipper designed to eliminate rashes and bumps…as winners emerge in Philips’ battle of barbers
Philips International, under its Personal
Healthcare Business Unit, has introduced to the Nigerian market, the first of
its kind clippers designed to ensure no after-shave bumps and rashes. The
company said the new clippers have specially developed blades to reduce the
risk of cuts when clipping your hair or beard, offering the confidence of a
precise cut and shave without the humiliating damaged skin.
The company also said the new Clippers are designed to give a close precision cut or shave, cutting the hair at skin level. It added that the new Philips clippers also offer the freedom to play with multiple hairstyles by simply adjusting the blade and clicking-on different length combs.
“Philips conducted extensive research across a cross-section of men in Nigeria and sub-Saharan Africa before it developed and carried out extensive field tests on the Clipper taking into account the core concerns that came out in the research – mainly the need to get that clean shaving feeling but to avoid the scratches, cuts and bumps that sometimes develop on the skin,” states Chioma Iwuchukwu-Nweke, General Manager, Philips Personal Health-West Africa.
“These are the first clippers Philips is introducing in the African market, underscoring our commitment to delivering innovation based on the need of the consumers. Our new clippers cut your hair, not your skin. This not only ensures that you have a painless short and sharp look, but also improves your overall skin health,” said Ms. Iwuchukwu-Nweke.
The two clippers in the range, the Philips Clipper Pro (ideal for professional barber styling) and Philips Clipper Home (for personal use) offer blades designed to avoid cuts and bumps for optimal skin comfort, close precision and durability.
The Pro clipper is designed for a powerful expert trim, cut or shave. Its chrome matt finish is complemented by a smart textured handle for a comfortable grip and a 2.8m cord to give a greater reach and to easily move around while clipping. It comes with seven click-on Combs as well as a styling comb and scissors.
The Home clipper has lacquering, textured high gloss plastic finish and a 2.4m cord; and comes with four click-on Combs including the 3mm, 6mm, 9mm or 12mm combs.
The new robust design promises to become a hair-loom for generations to come. Its strong steel blades are manufactured to withstand chips and cracks lasting up to four times longer than the leading brand, while its state-of-the-art copper motor coil will outrun its predecessor four times over.
To put the new product into test, a pan-Nigeria competition among barbers tagged ‘Philips’ battle of barbers’ was staged as part of the product launch.
The competition, which is set to become an annual showpiece, aims at promoting innovation, artistry, precision and professional dignity among barbers in the country. It also underscores Philips Nigeria’s effort to enliven the global Philips’ brand vision of impacting the lives of 3 billion people by year 2025 through innovation that matters to their health, living and wellbeing.
Five finalists had earlier emerged from regional finals which took place in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt. While three of the finalists emerged from the Lagos region, Abuja and Port-Harcourt regions produced one winner respectively.
At the grand finale which took place on Thursday last week at Protea Hotel, GRA Ikeja, Lagos, the five finalists slugged it out for the star prize of N250,000 and a supply of full barbing kits, among other mouth watering gifts.
At the end of the day, Taofeek Badmus from Lagos came tops while Bashiru Sikiru and a lady barber, Princess Abimbola Adeosun, came second and third respectively.

Why society of today see beauty Queens as prostitutes -- Omowunmi Okunlola, MBGE Tourism Queen 2016, Lagos State.
Most Beautiful Girl In Eko Tourism, Lagos State Miss
Omowunnmi Okunlola said recently that Nigerian society of today and people of
nowadays see beauty queens as prostitutes and sleeping around, all in a
bid to get to the top of their career. The current MBGE Tourism Queen in Lagos
State disclosed this to news men and other online media platforms that many
responsible parents and contestants see Beauty pageant as a career for
prostitution and human trafficking because of this reason.
Many parents or contestants frowned at pageantry. She further said that it was
due to lack of enlightenment and exposure which
are the main reason people
frown at Beauty Pageant, that every industries or sectors has its strengths,
weaknesses, opportunities and threats in life, just like we human beings name
it health, engineering, education, politics, aviation, hospitality
sectors all have their SWOT, good or bad, sleeping around or decency etc She
further said Beauty pageantry is an entertainment of life just like movie,
music, art, dance, etc Miss Okunlola said that the first national christian beauty
pageant was in the Holy Bible and it was won by Queen Esther in the book of
Esther. Beauty Pageantry is an entertainment in life that showcases your
talent, gifts, language, origin, root, dance, music, culture, and geographical
origins in all cultures or races of the world. For example, international
beauty pageants in europe, america or Uk are different from beauty pageants in
asia, africa and the rest of the world. The beauty pageants in the
aforementioned promote bikini or obscenity and their way of life and this
degrade the girl child while many beauty pageants in asia, africa and
other continents promote their cultural heritage and Tourism of the continents.
All beauty pageants in the world promote tourism and it all depends on its aims
and objectives to the girl child. Any beauty pageants in Nigeria that have
international franchise or representation in Europe, america or Uk are
connected to bikini segment of pageant which is not part of our African
culture.
According to current MBGE Tourism Queen everything in life should be based on merit, and honesty. With merit and honesty, one can still attain higher heights in life. In every aspect of life or industry, there is good side and bad side. The Most Beautiful Girl In Eko Tourism Queen, omowunmi Okunlola says her case will be different as she promises to assist selected youth who are living in poverty by using her good office.

start to unveil my projects. We already have people that have promise to assist
us. We also urge others to key into our dream,” said Okunlola. Born in Oyo

THE SUPREME PROPHET, DR. CHRIS OKAFOR, LIGHT UP THE STAGE FOR ANOTHER ‘ONE NIGHT WITH THE KING’
THE SUPREME PROPHET, DR. CHRIS OKAFOR, LIGHT UP
THE STAGE FOR ANOTHER ‘ONE NIGHT WITH THE KING’
---D-day is (Friday September 30th 2016 at TBS.)
The atmosphere is already turbo charged, the
frenzy is infections, while the bug is fast-catching on everyone about the fast
approaching defining moment in Christendom, Tagged ‘One Night With The King’
the heavenly and spiritually-endowed programme is the well-articulated
salvation, healing, divine lifting and breakthrough encounter with the King of
All Kings, at the instance of the indefatigable supreme prophet of All Times,
Dr. Chris Okafor. This year’s edition, the second to be precise, and an annual one for that matter, has been
specifically packaged and designed to supersede the maiden edition, which from
all intents and purposes, was a glorifying and edifying success in all its
ramification.
In essence, Christian faithful and non-faithful
alike are in for an unequalled and unprecedented outpouring of grace, mercies,
miracles, signs, wonders, deliverances, healings, uplifting and supernatural
promotions in all their spheres of endeavour. The supreme Prophet, Dr. Chris
Okafor, is known for many mouth-gaping and astounding signs, wonders and
accurate prophesy, this year’s edition of ‘One Night With The King’ will yet
again prove his symbolic manifestation of his endowment as a unique vessel of
God, through which the Almighty God has been using to set the captive free.
Symbolically, ‘One Night With The King’ is a well-thought-out and divinely
inspired yearly programme where at the instance of Dr. Chris Okafor, under the
auction of God, will set the medium for attendees from all over the world, irrespective
of their faith and religion to meet God one-on-one as the King of all Kings;
which by inference means that when you meet the ultimate King in such an
auspicious and hallowed atmosphere, one can make request(s) with Him, and such
will be granted, with your faith and belief intact. Testimonies and miracles of
last year’s edition abound and are still trickling in, as to the efficacy and
authenticity of this carnival-like event, that always shaken the entire
Christendom across the world to its very foundation; all thanks to the divine
leading and grace of the supreme Prophet, Dr. Chris Okafor, the General
Overseer of the Liberation City Ministries Worldwide, whose many prophecies and
foretelling, more often than not, have come to pass, and this is without any
iota of exaggeration or praise singing. Dr. Chris Okafor, has over the years
been dead on target and accurately justified by his predictions and
prophecies-notably that of the passing on of the last Ooni of Ife, HRM, Oba
Okunade Sijuwade, the tragic helicopter crash on the 3rd Mainland Bridge in Lagos and many more too
numerous to mention, not forgetting the quantum of healings and deliverances he
has braved all odds of the Satan to unleash. The Oracle of God, as he is also
fondly called, is again, as ever before, set to roll out the drums to further
elicit to the world that ‘One Night With The King’ is another unique opportunity for the children
of God to have a divine encounter with their creator and share a glorious
moment with the King of Kings, culminating in their supernatural beholding of
the King Himself and by extension getting more blessed and having all their
fears, tribulations, problems and hurdles overcome by the Lord of Hosts and
universal saviors of mankind.
The all-embracing and ground breaking event will
as usual come up on the 30th of September 2016, Friday at the expansive Tafawa Balewa Square in
Onikan, Lagos. Of course, the Supreme Prophet, Dr. Chris Okafor will be in his
element to take all through with his special anointing and prophectic
ministrations, while soul-lifting, inspirational and motivational gospel song
ministrations will be spiritually rendered by the likes of Joe Praise, Eben,
Monique, Gozie Okeke, Amaka Joel Samuel Otu, just to mention a few.
Admission is free, and all you need to come with is your faith and
total submission to the King Himself, and the way you came, fully healed and
spiritually equipped to confront any evil machination in your life.
Towards this divine encounter with the King, the
Oracle of God has been pulling all stunts, via intensive fasting and prayers,
to ensure yet another awesome sight in His presence, with a committal to
further take evangelism and souls-saving to over 35 countries this year alone,
casting our demons and several deadly diseases like the Zika virus and the
likes. Many have since been jostling to partake in this all-important life saving crusade that has
gripped the entire Christendom like a whirlwind, and to be left out of it, is
like losing a golden opportunity to have a dinner with the King Himself. Come
and you will truly be blessed.
To ensure easy to and fro passage to the venue, free
transportation has been provided for all at strategic places all over the
vicinity, and the song in town now is all about ‘One Night With The King’ and
inimitable license to Eternal life of prosperity, miracles, good health,
promotions and above all, a well-secured place in the high heavens of Paradise.
It will surely be a night to remember for everyone. The Supreme
Prophet and Oracle of God, Dr. Chris Okafor has assured that the all-conquering
crusade will mark a turning point in the lifes of those who will be privileged
to partake in the programme, by the special Grace of Almighty God. Shallom.
Maximum security is Guaranteed Throughout The Night.

OGUN PDP IN DISARRAY; BIGWIGS SENATOR
BURUJI, HON.LADI ADEBUTU IN SHOW OF SHAME. HON.LADI ADEBUTU SLAPS SENATOR
KASAMU BURUJI OPENLY AT PDP CONVENTION IN P/H
Factional
supporters in the crises rocking the Ogun State chapter of the People’s
Democratic Party (PDP) have alleged that things took a frightening dimension
this last Tuesday as two warring leaders for the State’s party structure,
Senator Buruji Kashamu, and Hon. Oladipupo Adebutu, went physical fight in Port Harcourt, Rivers
State, venue of the court-aborted PDP Convention.
We gathered
that it took the intervention of some other party members present, and mostly
supporters of the party’s Caretaker committee chairman, Sen. Ahmed Markafi, who
razed to the scene, to douse tensions.
Both Kashamu
and Adebutu have been at loggerheads over the control the structure of the PDP
in Ogun State.
Ladi
Adebutu, it was gathered, had aligned with the Makarfi-led exco while Buruji
Kasamu is on the side of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff.
Although,
those who shared the story claimed that Senator Kashamu started the attack by
physically assaulting Adebutu at the car park of the Presidential Hotel, although
we could not confirm it. but we will bring update on this crisis in our next bulletins.
MASS MEDIA IS KILLING GOSPEL MUSIC, THEY GIVE PRORITY TO CIRCULAR MUSIC THAN GOSPEL -LANRE TERIBA
MASS MEDIA IS KILLING GOSPEL MUSIC,
THEY GIVE PRORITY TO CIRCULAR MUSIC THAN GOSPEL
-LANRE
TERIBA
Gospel musician,
Lanre Teriba aka atorise recently had a chat with selected media boss in Lagos recently society
herald was there too, enjoy the chat we had with him
What is new about Lanre bow?
What
is new about Lanre Teriba is that he's more than a gospel music artist, I am an
inspirational music artist
We've
not been seeing you like before in the spotlight, what have you been doing?
Well
we've been working, but there's no avenue to showcase what we've been working
on, we've been doing different things but the situation is that the economy and
the music industry generally in Nigeria is not really favoring us, we that are
singing Christian songs in Nigeria.
What did you mean by "there's no
avenue to showcase what we've been doing"?
Because
a lot of the TV and radio stations in Nigeria believe more in the circular
music more than the inspirational music and this is not encouraging it is also
not educating our children, it is not giving our children future and the fact
that nobody is saying anything about it, people are not paying attention to us,
I just want to use this medium to pass message out to our people out there, so
that they can see from my own point of view that they are not doing it right.
But
there is a government agency that controls the content of what goes on air,
what do you think this agency can do in the direction of what you’ve just said?
That
is the reason I must speak out on behalf of those who are not having the
opportunity to express their mind as I am, I don’t know what the regulatory
bodies are doing about it but I just want to plead that they should at least
give God some chance to rule. We are all from God and we are still going back
to him as every good things in this life belong to God, so I want the people to
do it right so that we can get it right.
You
mentioned earlier that people especially children can be morally influenced by
what they are hearing in terms of music, so how can your own brand of music
influence the change in moral decadence that is gradually taking over the
country?
I said
earlier that I’m an inspirational artiste, my songs are message laden, but the
issue is when we are not getting the chance like the circular songs to reach
out to the people, it is therefore difficult for those listening to get the
inspirational messages in our songs. Like I mentioned earlier, most of the
station don’t want to have much to do with gospel or inspirational songs.
Most
songs the youths follows these days are digital mix, while most of your songs
are analogue, has it ever crossed your mind to also digitalised your songs
maybe it will be appealing to the youths?
Of
course, one or two of my albums are digital mixed, I record the albums in
digital studios, with digital beats just to follow the trend, but I still have
to make it meaningful and inspirational but fact is still that it was still
treated like the rest since I won’t damn morals in it.
Don’t
you think the government have a role to play in re-orienting the people about
the whole situation?
Yes, I
think the government should work on the regulatory body, urging the
broadcasting organisation to give more time also for the inspirational songs
especially the local Nigerian music, because what I see is that we are
promoting foreign music more that the local music and this is creating a
serious cultural erosion crisis for the youths, whereas stations in these
foreign countries are not airing our songs in their countries. Take for example
South Africa, they play more of their indigenous music on their stations than
they do foreign music and this is helping their music industry to grow, while
here in Nigeria we give credence to foreign music ahead of our own.
You
said Nigerian stations are playing more foreign songs than local, don’t you
think this may have to do with the fact that they are playing safe due to
activities of COSON in the country of late and to which extent have you gone to
introduce your song to them?
I have
been to so many station, because each time I release an album, I do a tour to
all these stations where, usually drop my music for them which signifies that I
am giving them the go ahead to play it, but I realised that most of these
stations prefers songs from hip-hop artiste even when it does not make any
sense to the inspirational music genre which they tagged local, and in fact
they were right because hip-hop is a foreign brand of music while our brand of
music is full percussionist kind of music.
Though
there is need to move with the trend but that does not mean they should do that
to the detriment of our indigenous genre of music.
Do you
think this is also the reason such music as yours are scarcely mentioned in
musical awards in Nigeria?
That
is what I’m talking about, there’s nothing stopping the organisers of musical
awards in showcasing inspirational artistes, they can also have a particular
section for gospel and inspirational music, you see everything that has to do
with God is inspiration, He’s the giver of life, hope and joy and nobody has
deemed it fit to create a section that will appreciate those that are singing
to pass God’s message of hope to the people.
It is
a common occurrence whereby supposed gospel artistes decided to go circular in
the course of doing gospel maybe due to the things obtainable in the industry
It is
not that they’ve deviated, it is just that we are trying to follow the trend
due to what we’ve been talking about that we are facing, you know I have been
informed before by an owner of one of these medium that they want to be playing
my songs but that I should try to feature one or two hip-hop artistes, so you
understand what we are going through, knowing that I’m a brand myself, so
imagine that is being said to an artiste that is just coming up what do you
thing he will do? So that is the crisis that we are facing.
And I
have also featured Oritse Femi, mind you that does not make me a circular
musician, in fact I did that because I want to reach out to the youths, you
know Jesus will move with the wretched just to win their soul, I can also do
that to make sure my messages reach where it is expected to reach.
One
thing is common among the youths and that is the fact that many of them care
less about the message in any song provided they can dance to it, what can you
say to this?
That
is exactly what I have been trying to correct, I want to give them beat they
can dance to while they will be listening to the inspirational message, I want
a situation where they will be getting both the beat and the message.
What
are your expectation from the government and corporate organisations?
We
want the government to create an enabling environment for us to operate, if we
are getting avenues to showcase our self and we are not restricted on the
broadcast mediums we will shoot goo videos that will compete favourably with
those in the international market.
I also
want to employ the corporate organisations also not to overlook inspirational
artistes with endorsements, if they are supporting us the same way they are
supporting the circular music we will surely do more. You can imagine some
organisation supporting an artiste whose song you don’t want your children to
listen to because you want their fame to rub off on your product, their message
you know will dim the morals of your children yet you are supporting them? So
I’ll want them to also support whose music will help create an enabling society
for us all.
Any
new project?
I’m
currently working on my new album, it has been about two years now that I last
released an album and I also just get an endorsement from Techno Mobile, but
presently I’m working on a new album, I want to be releasing album every two
years now unlike every year that I was doing.
Is the
Techno Mobile your first endorsement?
Yes it
is my first major endorsement, before now I have got a couple of minor
endorsements from clothing lines and many more like that but the Techno Mobile
is my first major endorsement.
What
will be the impact of the endorsement?
It
will encourage me to work harder, it will also help my music spread all over
the world as people will be able to download my music using their Techno
devises.
What
should come to people’s mind about Atorise?
God
should come to people’s mind, because God is Atorise, my name is Lanre Teriba,
and only God is the source of inspiration.
Rumour
has it sometimes back that you’ve been expelled from the Gospel Musician
Association of Nigeria (GOMAN), what really happened and from where did the
story emanate?
The
truth is, that did not happen and it will never happen, like I said earlier I
am an inspirational artiste, I am a full time member of GOMAN and I’m also
eyeing the position of the Vice President in the association forthcoming
elections.
But
why the rumour? You know there is a saying that there is no smoke without fire
I
believe people will only peddle rumour about you because you are relevant and
it is a due you must pay to be a star, so I don’t have problems with that. In
the order hands it may be because of my relationship with some circular
artistes who features me in their concerts, and what they don’t know is that I
will not allow any opportunity to reach out through my message to the people
pass me by, so I have featured in concert with Juju, Fuji and Hip-Hop artistes
so that may be the reason they thought I’m no longer in GOMAN.

Your daddy just celebrated his 72th
birthday how will you best describe him as a father and a political leader?
Yes my daddy
is a wonderful Father, my role model and confidant, one in a million, I so much
like him because he is very good to all his children, he train all of us in the
Christian rightful ways and always make us remember that in whatever we do in
life we must put God first, so he is everything to me, as a political leader,

missing word as contributed to the democratically governance we are enjoying
today, on this note, I congratulate him as he turn 72th, and I pray that the
Almighty God will continue to sustain him with good health for us in Jesus
name. Amen
So what are the things you have learn
from him as a father?
Like I said
I learn a lot, today am the sloe administrator of Yaba LCDA, one of the
principle I practice or preach at my office is one of the things I learn from him
which is punctuality, some school of taught said punctuality is the soul of
business, so I imbibed on this, also he taught me that whatever I do, I must do
it well and the mist important is the spirit of tolerance, you know ad a leader
you must be tolerant, for a leader to be successful you must be tolerant, so I
use this principles to guide myself, and that is how I have been able to cope
with all the management team at my local government.
You are the sole administrator of
Yaba LCDA, tell me your experience so far at the council since your assumption?
Yes the
experience has been wonderful, the good people of Yaba local government had
made the job so easy for me with their cooperation, you know if you are new in
an area and the people there accept you in total, things will work in your favor,
the good people of Yaba has made the job good for me, also the people of Yaba
understand the fact that governance should not be left in the hand of the
chairman alone so they are always there to make their contributions too.
Are you saying no challenged so far?
No I never
say no challenged, but it is minimal, we all know that there are lot of
expectation from the people, the issue of who come first is another challenge,
also in the area of challenging residence to pay their tax, we meet to go extra
mile sometime enforced before people come to term with this visions, we in all
we thank God for the journey so far.
Sir you are coming from the private
sector to the public decor though you have a robust experience in politics, his
have you been able to marry this two together and getting this result you have
today in your council,?
Yes to me I
don’t see so many difference between the two, well I can even say the private
sector has more commitment, take for example
when we resume office staff of the local govt comes to work at their convenient
time, we have to talk call them to other. You know anything that involves the
government people will say, it’s not my father’s property, which is not like
that in the private sector, while I was in the private sector or my staffs must
be at work as Early as 7:30am if they want to retain their job, which is not so
when we came in, but today at Yaba LCDA, I have been able to correct that
ideology, also people believe things are done more faster in the private sector,
today have been able to adjust services rendered in my local government to be
more faster than before.
Sir can you tell us some of your laudable
project plan on going to make your council area the best and or the betterment
of the people?
Yes when we
came in. We did a thorough cross examination of all the immediate need of the
good people of Yaba LCDA and we made out some finding s, we realized that we
need more health care facilities, we need to expand our health care deliveries,
and we have started in Earnest to fix back what the people needed. Also on
education development we procured jamb form for indigent student and also add
some block of classroom where needed, the youth empower too is paramount in our
agenda, rehabilitation too is very key in our plan, so we have a lot in our
agenda, so the good people of Yaba will get the best in term of dividend of
democracy from my leadership term in the council. on sport development we are
at the best of it too.
Yaba is gradually becoming calm when
it comes to security treat, what are you doing to ensure the area continue to
be peaceful security wise?
If we
engaged the youths, security will be guarantee, just keep your finger cross we
have map out ideals to position our youth, so that they will be useful to
themselves and shun violence totally.
Sir today you are a sole
administrator tomorrow if the opportunity knocks and the people of Yaba said
they want you to continue as their chairman will you accept and how prepared
are you to be the council chairman,?
Like I
always says there is no much differences between sole administrator and
chairman, the difference is more has a legislative backing and the other no,
but the tasks is the same, if the door knock like you said I Will, and an ready
willing to serve with God behind me.
Sir can we say you will work add to
surpass your dads record politically?
Well the
pride of all parent is that, their children pass them in whatever they do and I
believe my dad is not left out, so what i see is that my father has really
achieve politically, but judging by the age he started, am more younger that
when he start and if we have to judge by this I might have gone far when i get
to his age, but I must confess he had really done well politically.
What should we expect to see new in
term of development, in Yaba LCDA when our crew will visit the area a in the
next 3 months?
Don’t stress
yourself for three month and assuring you in the next few weeks go to Yaba and ask the
people they will surely be glad to tell you yes the leadership of the council
is excellent in their governance
Are you working in line with the
development policies of the state government in your LCDA, and are you

government under the leadership of his Excellency Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode is not
leaving any stone on turn to ensures that the State get the best in term of
dividend of democracy to we are doing too at the council, we compliment all
state efforts, if you recollect the tree plantation program, we did same at the
council.

ZAMBIANS PRESIDENTIAL POLLS, PROPHET JOSHUA IGINLA COMMENDED AS ACCURATE SEER OVER PRESIDENT LUNGU VICTORY
ZAMBIANS PRESIDENTIAL POLLS, PROPHET
JOSHUA IGINLA COMMENDED AS ACCURATE SEER OVER PRESIDENT LUNGU VICTORY
Again popular Abuja
prophet, Bro. Joshua Iginla has won the heart of Zambians after his prediction
of the just concluded presidential election came to pass. Checks revealed that
the fiery prophet in January 2016 prophesied that the incumbent president Edgar
Lungu would retain his seat as president.
We gathered that it
generated a lot of controversies especially when popular prophets across the world
especially one from South Africa has chosen the opposition party as winner when
the election would hold. Reports revealed that during Iginla’s three days
crusade in Zambia On the 5th – 7th of May, 2016
He also declared openly
to them that he saw two lions battling each other in the election but the older
lion which is Lungu will emerge winner after a stiff competition.
In a Prophecy on
December 31, 2015, He said ‘the economy will improve but not as expected. The
election in Zambia will be will be like two lions fighting. The president
should pray in terms of the election because I see betrayals from his camp and
so called faithfuls. But in my vision, I see someone trying to pull him from
his seat, yet he remain in the seat’’
Sources from Zambia
confirmed to us that all he said about the election which took place on
Thursday, 11th of August, 2016 came to pass.
It was a tough time for
the Zambians as the battle for the seat of the President was one of a kind, one
that has never being experienced.
The battle was between
the Leader of Patrotic Front, who is also the sitting President, Edgar Lungu
and his opponent, representing United Party for National development, Hakainde
Hichilema.
The result of the
election was released on Monday, 15th of August, 2016, in
favour of President Edgar Lungu, confirming Joshua Iginla’s prophecy.
According to
reports, Zambia's incumbent President Edgar Lungu has been declared the
winner of a closely fought presidential election, but the result was
immediately challenged by his main opponent Hakainde Hichilema. Lungu, leader
of the Patriotic Front (PF), won 50.35 percent of Thursday's vote, against
47.67 percent for Hichilema, of the United Party for National Development
(UPND), the Electoral Commission of Zambia said on Monday. The opposition party
quickly, however, rejected the result, claiming the electoral commission had
colluded to rig the vote against its candidate, to confirm the prophecy.
Similarly, In 2014, when Zambia President at that time,
Michael Sata passed on after suffering from a strange illness, and an election
was to be carried out, the Fiery Prophet, Joshua Iginla predicted that Edgar
Lungu will be the President of the country whenever the election is carried
out, even though Sata’s vice President, Dr Scott was appointed as
acting President, Lungu was however appointed as the President after the
election was observed
