A case for Bushiri and fire churches

I am temporarily off Facebook. Beware. Facebook consumes precious time better spent on real relationships. This week I almost reconsidered though. I am missing out on Major 1. Look here; the man is a phenomenon.

Someone close tearfully lamented that he would assassinate me with his flying powers. So, when the visa furore broke out, my beloved sisters called and decreed that I shall keep my big mouth shut. Cognizant of my mortal limitations, they didn’t want me to attract the fury of a flying prophet.
