Drama as church members pay huge sum to pastor to fly them to Heaven
Head pastor of Christ High Commission Ministry, also known as Royal Christ Assembly in Nigerian is smiling all the way to the bank after convincing his church members to pay for the visa to Heaven.
Pastor Ade Abraham is reported to have first convinced the congregation to relocate to a camp he erected in another state, which they obliged.
Realising he could ‘mess with their heads’ after his initial plans succeeded, the pastor is said to have requested for N310,000 each (over GH¢5,600) in order to “prepare them for the end of the world”..
According to reports, the pastor indicated that after the payments, “the gates of heaven will open for all of them to fly to heaven”.
Abraham also assured the members that they would all ‘ascend to heaven together from the location in Ekiti’.
“My relative has also asked her daughter, who is studying abroad, to return to Nigeria, or else the pastor (Abraham) would make her commit an offence over there that would see her go to jail,” a source told FIJ newspaper.
The newspaper also obtained a WhatsApp conversation that backed up the source’s claim. It was the conversation that reflected what the pastor’s follower told her daughter.
Another member of the church who is currently in camp in Ekiti said that Abraham’s campers still go about their normal businesses on regular days.
The follower also said “saved members” left their “past lives” behind in Kaduna to join the pastor in Ekiti on April 6.
He confirmed that the plan was to be at the camp with the pastor “until the day of rapture”.
According to the member, Abraham still holds regular church services on Sundays and Wednesdays despite members calling him out for what they say is religious fraud.
“We are not coming back. I can’t explain in details. We are going to make rapture from here. We are going to a heavenly place,” the member told FIJ

A message in a bottle launched by visitors to Newfoundland’s Bell Island was found washed up on an Irish beach nearly 13 years later, after apparently crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
Kate Gay said she was walking a Dingle Peninsula beach this week when she spotted the wine bottle with a sheet of paper inside.
Gay showed the bottle to members of Creative Ireland NeartnaMacharaí during a meeting at her house that evening, and they broke the bottle open.
The note, written by a couple named Brad and Anita, was dated Sept. 12, 2012. The letter described the couple’s day trip to Bell Island.
There was a phone number on the letter, but there was no answer when group members tried to call.
The Maharees Heritage and Conservation group posted photos of the bottleto social media on Monday, and within an hour group members were messaging with Anita.
Group member Martha Farrell said Anita reported that she and Brad had married in 2016 and are still together to this day. -upi.com
A Spanish woman who has been collecting egg cups for over 50 years earned a Guinness World Record when her collection was tallied at 15,485 items.
María José Fuster recruited two witnesses to help her tally her collection at a community center in her hometown of Campo, Spain.
Fuster’s collection includes multiple patterns, colors, designs and even novelty cups bearing the images of characters including Superman, Betty Boop and Garfield.
Fuster maintains two blogs related to her hobby — one to catalog each piece, and one to list the names of the people who have donated egg cups to her collection.
Some of her most prized egg cups, about 1,143 of them, are currently on display at a local museum.
