‘World’s richest beggar’ is worth over $1 million

An Indian man who spends his days asking people for pocket change on the streets of Mumbai has been dubbed the ‘world’s richest beggar’ by Indian media who claims he is worth over $1 million. While many people in India toil long hours every single day for a few hundred rupees, Bharat Jain, the so-called ‘world’s richest beggar’, reportedly makes between 2,000 and 2,500 rupees every day by asking generous people for handouts.

Scammer poses as ‘God’, asks woman for deposits at ‘Bank of Heaven’

International, Lifestyle & Social

A Spanish man stands accused of taking advantage of an overly-religious old woman by posing as her Lord and Savior and asking her to deposit money at His ‘Church of Heaven’. Could you say ‘no’ to God? What if He called you directly to ask for a favor? Esperanza, an elderly woman from León, in northwestern Spain, could not refuse God when He called her on her telephone and told her to put her savings in His ‘Church of Heaven’, because it offered better interest than earthly ones. The woman never once suspected that she was being scammed, as she was convinced that she was a ‘chosen of the Virgin’ long before receiving the call, so getting a direct call from the Almighty didn’t really seem that strange. Over six years, Esperanza followed God’s instructions and deposited around ...

POLYGAMY IS NOT A PANACEA FOR LONG LIFE – A THELOGICAL RESPONSE TO THE RAGING DEBATE

Lifestyle & Social, Pentecost News

INTRODUCTION The raging debate on polygamy and multiple marriages has been ongoing on the various media platforms in Ghana over the last few weeks. As a trend watcher, I chose to listen to the various sides of the argument with no intention of commenting nor drawing myself into the discourse. However, I found it needful to contribute to the engaging conversation when I watched a short clip by one purported clergy man(who himself is involved in a polygamous relationship) on one of the media talk shows boldly defending the case for polygamy and multiple marriages arguing that if one wants to live long, then one of the panaceas is to marry many spouses. In this article, I would attempt to argue from various perspectives on why this notion is flawed and should not be applauded as espoused ...
