Daddy freeze claims there is nothing like church wedding



Nigerian religious critic, Daddy Freeze claims that there is nothing in the Holy Bible like a “church wedding”.
The OAP shared this opinion in a post on his Instagram page as he answered questions from a fan regarding marriage.
In the post, Daddy Freeze shared a screenshot of the question asked by one of his followers.

The follower wanted to know if it would be wrong to do the family introduction and court wedding without the white wedding which is often referred to as the church wedding.
Daddy Freeze in his response said that there is nothing wrong with the court wedding and family introduction only and added that the most important thing is that he marries his wife before God.
The controversial radio show host then asserted that there is no such thing as a church wedding in scripture as the church was never instructed to conduct weddings.
He wrote:
“My response:

CBN to increase charges



Effective Wednesday, September 18, cash deposits and withdrawals from individual bank accounts are to attract additional charges, the Central Bank of Nigeria said on Tuesday.

In a circular to all deposit money bank (DMBs), the Director, Payments System Management Department at the CBN, Sam Okojere, said henceforth 3 percent processing fees would be paid for withdrawals and 2 percent for deposits of amounts above N500,000 for individual accounts.

Similarly, corporate accounts will attract 5 percent processing fees for withdrawals and a 3 percent processing fee for lodgments of amounts above N3 million.

The CBN said the charges would be in addition to already existing charges on withdrawals and will be aimed at encouraging its cashless policy.

Social networks to use for your blogs to get traffic.



Social Media websites can drive insanely great traffic to your blog if you have a good social media marketing strategy. But it can drive fair amount of traffic if you just submit blog posts regularly to your social media profiles.
Social media traffic is as important as organic traffic from search engines as we can’t rely on Google alone. They continue to push algorithmic updates like Panda, Penguin and who knows the next could be Giraffe.
It means that we must diversify the way we get traffic. I’m going to list the top social media and other websites that you shouldn’t ignore or must use as part of your social media marketing strategy.
I’m NOT going to list all the stupid social media or the so called web 2.0 sites out there as I’m going to focus only on sites that can drive traffic to our websites in one way or the other and not for building backlinks.
Though the traffic quality of social media can’t be matched with that of organic traffic, it is still important. It helps us to keep the bounce rate low which is assumed to be one of the many ranking signals used by Google.

Top 30 Social Networking (& Web 2.0) Sites To Drive Traffic To Your Blog

1. Facebook

Facebook
Facebook has not only transformed the way people the world over connect, communicate and share ideas, pictures, videos and news, it’s made it possible for businesses to get their products across to a mass audience in a sensational win-win manner.
With over a billion active users it’s the largest social networking website. Leverage your Facebook friends and share your blog posts regularly with your Facebook friends and fan base.

2. Twitter

Twitter
Twitter is the second most popular social network (microblogging platform to be more specific). If our content is viral in nature then it can bring instant massive traffic to our blog/website in no time.

3. LinkedIn

LinkedIn
LinkedIn is web’s favorite professional networking website with over 100 million active users. LinkedIn’s traffic quality is better than that of Facebook and Twitter as it is mostly used by professionals who are looking for job or business opportunities.
Also try,
  • LinkedIn Groups — to discover like-minded professionals and join discussions.

4. Pinterest

Pinterest
Pinterest is the biggest thing that happened to social media after Twitter. According to a TechCrunch article Pinterest drives more traffic than Google+, YouTube and LinkedIn combined.
If your blog posts have quality images then you shouldn’t ignore Pinterest. Just pin those images to Pinterest under the right category and it can send quality traffic to you as Pinterest users are known to spend more money than Facebook or Twitter.

5. Google+

Google+
Google+ is Google’s answer to Facebook. Though they call it a social network I wouldn’t call it a social networking website. But that said, it is important to share your blog posts on Google+ as social signals are now used to rank web pages.
And that’s not all! As you probably know Google now gives importance to authors (dubbed as AuthorRank). For that they use data from your Google+ profiles. It means that if you’re popular on Google+ then your blog posts are more likely to be on top.

6. Reddit

Reddit
Reddit succeeded where Digg failed. It’s not the Facebook or a Twitter that killed Digg, Reddit killed Digg. If you write content that’s viral in nature then Reddit can send you instant massive traffic. Just make sure that you use social media timing signals to share the right content at the right time.

7. StumbleUpon

StumbleUpon
StumbleUpon is more or less a social bookmarking platform. It used to send good traffic during my initial days of blogging. I’m not sure about how many active users are there on StumbleUpon but according to Wikipedia they have over 20 million users.
It won’t take more than 5 minutes to share your web page on StumbleUpon and hence it is worth the try. You definitely don’t want to miss even a single opportunity that can send traffic.

8. MySpace

MySpace
MySpace. I’m not sure why this site still exists but I decided to include the same in this list as it was once the most popular social networking site in the world. It even surpassed Google as the most visited website in the United States in 2006.

9. Hacker News

Hacker News
Hacker News is a community of programmers, entrepreneurs, and digital ninjas who share “anything that gratifies one’s intellectual curiosity”.
So you can share your content (or from across the web) and can comment on popular Hacker News threads to promote your blog.
Hacker News is a lot more like Inbound.org except that Inbound.org is all about marketing whereas Hacker News is all about technology.

10. Inbound.org

Inbound.org
Inbound.org is not a social networking website but it can send high quality traffic to your website if you got interesting blog posts that are original.
Inbound.org is a great community of bloggers, marketers and other professionals who love to read and share interesting content.

11. Scoop.it

Scoop.it
Scoop.it is one of the most popular content curation tools. It helps you discover new content based on your interest and you’ll also be able to create your own Scoop.it boards to add content from your own blog. The Scoop.it community will be able to follow your boards and you’ll be able to follow boards by others.

12. Delicious

Murder issue solved after 38 years




A Colorado murder mystery that baffled detectives for nearly four decades has been solved after one of the killer's relatives uploaded their DNA to a genetic genealogy database.

18-year-old Jeannie Moore was last seen hitching a ride to her job at a convenience store in
Lakewood on August 25, 1981, and her body was discovered five days later at a picnic ground in nearby Genesse Park.

An autopsy revealed that Moore had been r-ped and that she was killed by 'several blows to the head'.

Despite widespread media attention, and the fact that the murderer's semen was retrieved from a piece of Moore's clothing, the case went unsolved for almost 40 years.

However, a breakthrough came back in May, when the county's lead cold case detective, Elias Alberti, noted that California's infamous Golden State Killer had been identified after a relative uploaded their DNA to an ancestry website.

Given that investigators had a clean DNA sample from Moore's killer, Alberti decided to see whether there would be a possible match sitting in a database.

'It was a no-brainer,' the detective told The Denver Channel.
