Stephen Nyoike Njuki aka QSTICK contacts family
Posted by jambonewspot on July 24, 2010

Qstick contacted his family on Friday night after one week of being reported missing
By Antony Karanja
Stephen Nyoike Njuki aka QSTICK who has been reported missing has established contact with his family; his mother told jambonewspot.com
According to details provided by Mrs Adrine Njuki, QSTICK called her between 9pm and 10pm on Friday night exactly one week after he disappeared from home. He reportedly told his mother that he was calling her from New York.
Details provided by QSTICK’s mother are as follows:
Mrs Njuki received a call Friday night from a number (area code 646) which she did not recognize. She picked up the call and it was QSTICK at the end of the other line. Her son said he was fine and asked her whether she was okay. Qstick did not speak for long and he hung up in some sort of a hurry.
Mrs Njuki called the number Qstick had called from and another man’s voice on the other end of the line answered saying ”He called from my phone…He called from my phone…I dont know him…I dont know him” and then hung up.
Minutes later, Qstick called again from what sounded like a phone booth and upon questioning from his mum, he told her that he was “in a homeless shelter in New York.” The family has not been able to verify where exactly in New York he is.
His mum at the moment does not have any further information other than what Qstick told her but is yet to fully understand what is happening and who exactly the other person who answered the phone was. The police have been given the cellphone number used in the first instance and are conducting further investigations.
Qstick’s mum would like to thank all of you for your prayers and support during this trying moment for the family and she says she is atleast relieved to know that her son is alive and well.

Stephen Nyoike Njuki, a Dallas artiste popularly known as “QSTICK BALAA” or simply as “QSTICK” has been reported as missing.
According to his mother Mrs Adrine Njuki who spoke to jambonewspot.com, “QSTICK” who is 22 years old was last seen at their home in Richardson, Texas on Friday 07-16-2010 around 3pm.
He told a relative who was at their home that he was leaving and would be back shortly. He has not been seen since. He was supposed to team up with a friend on Saturday for a concert but he could not be traced. QSTICK had also asked his mother to remind him of an appointment he had on Monday but he could not be located.

Editor’s Note: All comments on this post will from now onwards be moderated. Some posters have been misusing the freedom to make comments without moderation and are being insensitive and offensive. Some are going as far as posting offensive comments and posing under other peoples’ names for example comment number 17 from a poster in Bloomington, Illinois. (The comment has since been deleted by the moderator) Some people do not seem to come to grips with the seriousness of the issue. I do not disallow dissenting comments but on this occassion for the sake of the family and friends going through this trying moment, I will have to moderate them and disallow insensitive and offensive comments like the one posted on NO 17. Please let us concentrate on the safe return of our friend QSTICK and leave the judgements and speculations aside until this issue comes to an end. Helpful comments are welcome whether dissenting or otherwise and for the sake of the family who are going through so much, offensive and disrespectful comments will not be allowed. Once approved, your comment will appear.

MMO Conference – Celebrating 7 Years of God’s Faithfulness – July 23rd – 25th/Upendo Baptist Church
Posted by jambonewspot on July 18, 2010
Mercy Ministries Outreach is celebrating its 7th year ANNIVERSARY with a 7th year CONFERENCE. The number seven (7) is all over the scriptures from the Seven days of Creation to the Seven Seals of Revelation.
MMO has witnessed the FULNESS of God’s revelation, His Oath, His Promises, His covenant… Yet this is all but the beginning! The number seven is used frequently in Scripture to mark the work of God.
The Priests were told to sprinkle the blood of the sacrifice seven times, Joshua was ordered to march around Jericho seven times, and Naaman was told to wash in the Jordan seven times to be cleansed of leprosy. In all these, the number seven (7) was used to MARK THE WORK OF GOD. To give rest, to satisfy, to come through, to fulfill…. It is not by coincidence that the seven (7) years of MMO Anniversary celebration will also happen in the seven month of the year 2010. You better receive the revelation and schedule to attend this conference.
It has been marvelous in our sight to watch so many Prophecies come to pass since the last conference. It is no secret what the Lord has done, and for His Glory, MMO will have a session of testimonies. The man of God, Elder Purcell, from The Potters House was such a blessing last year. He spoke to many through the Word of Knowledge and Prophesy and we have witnessed the Lord’s doing.
We are humbled to announce that Elder Purcell will be our main speaker this year among many other anointed men and women of God. Come expecting a MIRACLE! Your breakthrough has arrived and it is NOW!
To host this meeting requires a lot of funds. Kindly support MMO through prayers and giving. The ministry needs your help to meet all the expenses. Below find the Ministry’s banking information. Give as the Lord leads you and be part of organizing this conference.
You will be glad that you gave (and became a partaker) to the work of God. MMO needs your help at least before Friday of this coming week so that it can have enough funds to pay for all the expenses. Thank you so much to those that have given to this Ministry and have continued to do so. Your gift is tax deductible.

Kenyan woman killed in Hillsborough NJ crash
Posted by jambonewspot on July 14, 2010
A Manville woman died following a two-car crash on Route 206 and Mountain View Road in Hillsborough Sunday night, with the investigation closing the road for about four hours, Hillsborough Township Police said.
Veronica Kuria, 37, of South 20th Avenue in Manville, was pronounced dead at Somerset Medical Center following the 7:58 p.m. crash Sunday. Police are still investigating the crash, and could not say whether Ms. Kuria’s death resulted from it.
Alcohol is not believed to have been a factor, Hillsborough Township Police Chief Paul Kaminsky said. A second driver, James Ohe, 50, of Belle Mead, was transported to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital for a broken leg and other moderate injuries from the crash, he added.
According to police, Ms. Kuria was driving north on Route 206 when her Toyota Camry crossed into oncoming traffic and collided with a Chevy Trailblazer that Mr. Ohe was driving south. When police and rescue personnel arrived at the scene, Ms. Kuria was
found to be unconscious and trapped in the vehicle.
The Hillsborough Rescue Squad and the Somerset Medical Center Paramedics reported using the Jaws of Life to extract Ms. Kuria from the vehicle, and began CPR during the extrication, Chief Kaminsky said. Though the New Jersey State Police’s Northstar
medical helicopter had reported to the scene, Ms. Kuria was transported to Somerset Medical Center by ambulance. She was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The Hillsborough Township Police and Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Team conducted an investigation of the crash site, which closed Route 206 for about four hours. The Hillsborough Township Police, Fire Company No. 2, Rescue Squad, the New Jersey State Police Northstar medical helicopter, Somerset Medical Center Paramedics,
Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Team, and the New Jersey Department of Transportation responded to the scene.

Diversity Visa Lottery 2011 (DV-2011) Results Released
Posted by jambonewspot on July 12, 2010
The Kentucky Consular Center in Williamsburg, Kentucky has registered and notified the winners of the DV-2011 diversity lottery. The diversity lottery was conducted under the terms of section 203(c) of the Immigration and Nationality Act and makes available *50,000 permanent resident visas annually to persons from countries with low rates of immigration to the United States. Approximately 100,600 applicants have been registered and notified and may now make an application for an immigrant visa. Since it is likely that some of the first *50,000 persons registered will not pursue their cases to visa issuance, this larger figure should insure that all DV-2011 numbers will be used during fiscal year 2011 (October 1, 2010 until September 30, 2011).
Applicants registered for the DV-2011 program were selected at random from over 12.1 million qualified entries (16.5 million with derivatives) received during the 60-day application period that ran from noon on October 2, 2009, until noon, November 30, 2009. The visas have been apportioned among six geographic regions with a maximum of seven percent available to persons born in any single country. During the visa interview, principal applicants must provide proof of a high school education or its equivalent, or show two years of work experience in an occupation that requires at least two years of training or experience within the past five years. Those selected will need to act on their immigrant visa applications quickly. Applicants should follow the instructions in their notification letter and must fully complete the information requested.
Registrants living legally in the United States who wish to apply for adjustment of their status must contact U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for information on the requirements and procedures. Once the total *50,000 visa numbers have been used, the program for fiscal year 2011 will end. Selected applicants who do not receive visas by September 30, 2011 will derive no further benefit from their DV-2011 registration. Similarly, spouses and children accompanying or following to join DV-2011 principal applicants are only entitled to derivative diversity visa status until September 30, 2011.
Only participants in the DV-2011 program who were selected for further processing have been notified. Those who have not received notification were not selected. They may try for the upcoming DV-2012 lottery if they wish. The dates for the registration period for the DV-2012 lottery program will be widely publicized during August 2010.
* The Nicaraguan and Central American Relief Act (NACARA) passed by Congress in November 1997 stipulated that up to 5,000 of the 55,000 annually-allocated diversity visas be made available for use under the NACARA program. The reduction of the limit of available visas to 50,000 began with DV-2000.
