A 15-year old girl from Ohio claims to be carrying the child of Jesus
Christ, after being “divinely impregnated” during an encounter with an
angel. Latifah Smith-Nabengana says she was visited by an “Angel of God”
in July 2015, who told her that she had been chosen to bear the
Christ’s son. “He told me that he was a Nephilim, like those described
in the Bible,” explained the young girl. “He told me that he had a
message from Jesus, He said that I was going to be pregnant, and that I
would give birth to a son, Jesus’ son.”
Nephilims are indeed mythical creatures mentionned in the Genesis 6:4 : “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.” This type of creature have been almost unheard of over the last few thousand years, so the teenager’s claim has surprised everyone in her family when she announced it to them. Being very religious themselves, they rapidly accepted her claim and showed flawless support for the 15-year old.
The medical doctor who has been following her pregnancy, Dr. William Franklin Murphy, says he is aware of his patient’s version, but is unable to either confirm or invalidate her claims. “For all I know, her pregnancy seems normal,” claims the gynecologist. “Her claims of “Virgin pregnancy” are technically true, but that doesn’t mean there was a divine intervention. I can tell you that it’s a boy, but there no way for me to determine if it is Jesus’ son until he is born. If she asks for a DNA test at that time, then we can tell you who the father is.”
The teenager’s claim has stirred quite a controversy that has reached far beyond her religious community. While most people have shown their support to Ms. Smith-Nabengana, others have launched various accusations on the social media, ranging from fabricating the whole story to sleeping with a demonic creature known as an incubus.

ABUJA —THE Minister of
Health, Prof. Isaac Adewole, has said that the mosquitoes carrying Zika
virus are in Nigeria and urged Nigerians to protect themselves by using
mosquito nets.
zikaHe also called on Nigerians to remain calm, be vigilant and report
any suspected case of an acute febrile illness in pregnant women, in
particular, to any nearest health facility.
Adewole made this disclosure at a press briefing, yesterday, in Abuja,
where he explained that the mosquitoes were active and flying, adding
that they bite during the day and early morning.
He said: “Nigerian scientists working in Western Nigeria in 1954
discovered Zika virus in Nigeria. Further studies in the years 1975 to
1979 showed that 40 per cent of Nigeria adults and 25 per cent of
Nigerian children have antibodies to Zika virus, meaning they are
protected against this virus.
“Despite the fact that some Nigerians are immune to the Zika virus
infection as demonstrated by previous studies, it is important and
advisable that Nigerians should be careful and protect themselves from
mosquito bites.
“There is no vaccine for Zika virus, and no cure other than rest, plenty
of fluids and perhaps over-the-counter medication to reduce fevers,
aches and pains as previously mentioned. This, therefore, means that
prevention is most effective means of preventing transmission.
“I advise all Nigerians, particularly pregnant women, to avoid
travelling to countries infected by this virus in these periods. If
however, you are to visit any country where Zika virus is now being
actively transmitted, you are advised to protect yourselves from
mosquito bites.
“Pregnant women considering travel to affected areas may wish to consult
their health-care provider prior to travel and after return. They
should also practice personal and household steps to prevent mosquito,
including putting mosquito repellant on their clothes and skin, wear
long sleeves and pants, and sleep underneath mosquito nets at night,
where possible.”
