        Thank you for comprehending the times..humanity is living on borrowed time we need to go back to holiness or the rapture will catch us unawares. This are the days of Noah when Men ignorantly serve sin n the devil..we must not be found among them brother. More GRACE.

        My condolences. That's tragic! Did Tanzania learn from its past disasters to ensure safety in ferry transport? I don't think so. Magufuli is deeply concerned about fake nails and eyelashes of female MPs though. 🤔
