This is unbelievable 800 career goals in Argentina win by Lionel Messi.

Messi netted his 800th career goal in what was Argentina's first match since winning the 2022 World Cup as they beat Panama 2-0 in an international friendly.

The 35-year-old became only the second player to reach the impressive milestone after his rival, Cristiano Ronaldo. Messi now has a staggering 99 international goals to his name with 672 for Barcelona and 29 for Paris Saint-Germain.

 In World Cup winners' homecoming, Messi got on the scoresheet, much to the delight of the fans at the Monumental de Nunez Stadium in Buenos Aires.

Thiago Almada scored the opening goal to prompt the initial celebrations before Messi found the top-right corner with a free-kick in the 89th minute.

"I always dreamed of this moment, celebrating with you," an emotional Messi said after the match as he paraded around the pitch with his family and the World Cup trophy.

Messi is already Argentina's most-capped player with 172, and in terms of his record goal tally, legendary striker Gabriel Batistuta is a very distant second with 56 in 78 appearances.

Sweden Lady versus Nigerian Guy.

 

Nigerian guy living in Sweden smartly

married a Swedish lady, so as to be

legally certified with resident permit, but

the lady was not aware of this. 

He lied to the lady that he is from Kenya because of the bad reputation of Nigerians in that part of Sweden. 

After their wedding, the lady returned home one day and informed the guy that she met her

friend, a Swedish lady also married to a

Kenyan and will like them to have a dinner together. 

The Naija guy was disturbed and kept thinking how he will get out of this dark spot. 

He postponed and postponed the proposed dinner until he got tired of postponing. 

Finally the D- DAY came, they all sat down in a

restaurant. 

Our Naija guy was quiet and was sweating profusely in spite of the cold atmosphere of Sweden (-8C). 

The ladies asked their husbands to

communicate in their local dialect since

they are both from same country(Kenya).

The Naija guy being a man of great savvy decided he will just speak Igbo, if the other guy didn't understand, he will claim that he is from another tribe and region in Kenya. 

Then he started, "Nwanne a wum nwafo owerri, owerre nchi ise, I wu kwanu onye olee, daa?

The other Kenyan looked up and replied

"Ah Nwanne, ekele diri chineke, onyena

asuru ndigbo uzo ha. E chekwe m na

enwela m nsogbu taa. Abu m nwafo

AHIAZU Mbaise . Nwanne birikwe o!

They shook hands and embraced each

other to the admiration of the ladies.

Igbo's no dey carry last. Igbo kwenu!

False Accusation Attracts Victory - Rev. Alex Muo

 

By Chidex Onyemah

The resident priest at the Christ Holy Church International Umuonaje-Asaba, Rev. Alexander Muo, has reiterated that false accusation attracts victory and that there is always a lesson to be learned in every trying time.

He said this while giving his sermon at the church cathedral on Sunday, March 19, 2023, on the occasion of the international youth thanksgiving across all branches of Christ Holy Church International.

The Clergyman warned believers not to allow human judgements and criticisms to lead them to anxiety and depression, especially when they are sure that they are not guilty of those accusations.

"You should not allow the things people say behind your back, demoralize you, or cause you to overthink. What you have to do, is to work on yourself and ensure you are growing both in your relationship with God and your career" he said.

Rev. Muo also added that failures and disappointments are part of life. He challenged Christians to have faith that they are born to change the stories of their generation.

His words: "do not let your family background or whatever you are currently passing through make you feel that God doesn't love you... Sometimes, problems come to us for us to learn and grow... You must avoid worry, especially in times of hunger, persecution, and disappointments."

Quoting from Matthew 6:25, he concluded by encouraging believers to keep trusting God for all needs and not worry themselves over material things.

Founder's Day 2023: Asaba Cleric Decries Sinful Living

 

 _By Chidex Onyemah_ 

The resident priest at the Christ Holy Church International Asaba 2, Rev. Pastor Alexander Muo, has urged Christians across the globe to ensure to live a blameless life, especially in these trying times when countries are faced with several challenges. This according to him is the only way to see God and receive his blessings.

He said this while giving his sermon at the Founder's Day service held at the Christ Holy Church International Umuonaje-Asaba branch on Sunday, March 11, 2023.

Speaking on the 2023 Founder's Day theme; "Without Holiness, You Cannot See God", the Cleric observed that the main route to seeing God and living a holy life is believing and accepting the finished works of Christ on the cross.

"When you are determined to see God, every material/money around you loses value, you must be willing to submit totally to the directions of God. Mama Odozi-Obodo gave all she had to please God, even though she was mocked and rejected, but her later life became better and rewarding." He said

Rev. Muo affirmed that Jesus' death on the cross was the foundation of a holy life for Christians because the death and resurrection of Christ were geared towards giving Christians the power to please God, which wouldn't have been possible without Christ.

In his words: " the purpose Jesus died is not just to forgive sins but to also give us power not to sin again. By the death of Jesus, believers are given victory over sin and death, which therefore means a holy life.

While describing the acts of the founders of the church, the priest encouraged members of the church to live exemplary life just as the leaders lived.

Concluding his sermon, Rev Muo noted that the foundation of Christ Holy Church International is vested in holiness. This according to him is the reason for the continuous growth of the church since 1947. All members must therefore focus on the cross for deeper revelation and fellowship with God.

The service also featured choral renditions, thanksgiving and testimony sessions, and high praise sessions.

In other news, the resident priest at the Christ Holy Church International, Abakpa Nike district, Rev. Emmanuel N. Okoye, while giving his founder's day sermon emphasized the need to have a good name, which is more precious than Gold.

He explained how the founders of the church had made a good name for themselves and how the name has taken their different families and the church at large to a high height. He, therefore urged the church to live a good life to make a good name for themselves, their families, and the church at large.
