Michael Jackson tops Forbes list of highest-paid dead celebrities with $825 million

Late King of Pop, Michael Jackson passed away seven years ago but still earned a staggering $825 million in 2016, making him the biggest dead celebrity earner of the year. According to Forbes, the reason he made that much revenue was because of his estate's decision to sell his half-share of the Beatles catalogue to Sony for $750 million.

The Thriller star had purchased the rights to the Fab Four's music back in 1984 for $47.5 million and then sold 50 percent of it to Sony in 1995 for $115 million.

Lady narrates how God delivered her from 20years of addiction to masturbation

Lady on IG called Moji took to her page yesterday to narrate how God saved her from 20years of addiction to masturbation. Moji who's now regenerate shared photos of herself when she was 6 in England and now as an adult. She wrote:

I look so innocent in this picture, but if only you knew what my mind knew..

I grew up in England and I believe in this picture I was 6 years old. So young and full of life. But my mind at this time was already corrupt. At this young age I knew what sex was, had watched a couple of x-rated movies and I'd even started playing with myself (masturbating). Who knew I would deal with these addictions for over 20 years of my life. I for one didn't. But it continued, it progressed and it took Jesus to save and deliver me.

I don't know what you're dealing with. I don't know what you've been battling with for a very long time. I don't know the addictions and vices you feel you can't overcome. But I do want you to know something, Jesus saves. Jesus heals. Jesus delivers. He saved me from every vice and set me free. He broke every yoke of addiction I've had to deal with. He restored my soul. He gave me life.
And I do believe that if any man be in Christ Jesus he is a new creature, old things have passed away behold all things have become new.

So my dears I don't know what you're going through, I don't know how bad you feel or think or believe you are. But one thing is for sure, Jesus saves. And He's ready for you if you come to Him.

Cheers.
Your girl Moji.

Buhari’s Corruption Fight Will Be Meaningless If He Does Not Probe Obasanjo – Waku… Also Calls For Judges Probe @

Joseph Waku, a former senator representing Benue North-West Senatorial District, has praised the Federal Government for looking into the deep corruption existing in the judiciary. He praised them for the act and told them to extend it to the regime of a former president of the Federation, Olusegun Obasanjo.
Below is what Maku said in an interview yesterday with newsmen.
“We need to sanitise our judiciary; if the arm of government that we know is the last hope of the common man is enmeshed in corruption, then where lies the hope of the commoners?
This is why I strongly support the clampdown on the judiciary, provided it is not a witch-hunt, but one aspect I object to is the manner of arrest, I think the law provides the way of arresting suspected corrupt persons. You have to invite the suspect and if he fails to respond to your invitation then you adopt minimum force. Continue…
“But swooping on suspects as if they have already been pronounced criminals is tantamount to criminality on the part of the security operatives.
“Imagine, security operatives invading judge’s house with maximum force, what do you think would have happened if the security men attached to the judge reacted negatively?
“The consequence would have been grave. So, that is why I strongly object to the method of the arrest, let them be civil in their approach.
“I strongly support the fight against corruption especially in the judiciary, because the perception of people on this arm of government is that there is a lot of rot there. Let the noise not die like that, those accused should be taken to court for prosecution and if found guilty should be convicted and punished.”
Waku also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to extend his anti-corruption fight to former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s regime.
He said, “The corruption fight of Buhari will be meaningful if he can extend it to Obasanjo, corruption is not only when you take bribe or embezzle our commonwealth, election rigging is also corruption or using your office to conscript people to donate to your personal thing is corruption.”
When asked whether his hatred for Obasanjo was not responsible for his call for his prosecution, Waku said no.
“No! If you have personal contact with Obasanjo, you will know that he his humorous, I like him as a person, and besides, he is my elder, he was my commander in chief for 11 years. I cannot inherit anything from him, he cannot also inherit anything from me, Chief Obasanjo is a great man, there is no doubt about that.
“But the fact remains, let him be probed, it may even serve as a blessing to him, if his administration is probed and he is eventually found innocent, that will exonerate him from the eyes of the public and to some of us, Obasanjo remains the most … president Nigeria ever had until proven otherwise.”
