Put those Dicks away, Cuffie family takes centre-stage with bizarre graduation photo

It has not been an easy week to vault into the spotlight, as Trinidad and Tobago remains transfixed by the twists, turns and flips of the local gymnastics saga. Yet maybe it should not be altogether surprising that Pastor Winston Cuffie is emerging as a strong contender to get a jump on the Dicks.

So Hannifer Dick’s tale about her race down Hell’s Highway in Fort McMurray on Friday April 15 was less plausible than Superman using AK47s to shoot terrorists?

That’s nothing. Pastor Cuffie invented time travel. And, just to be sure it was safe, he let his daughter, Victrina Cuffie, try it first.

How else can he explain Victrina’s graduating in 2016, yet somehow appearing in a University of London 2013 graduation photo?

The miraculous Miracles Ministries photo, which was also published as an advertisement in the Trinidad Express newspaper, was meant to be a public show of congratulations to Victrina by the doting Pastor Cuffie.

And, as Proverbs 18:12 states, “Before a downfall the heart is conceited, but humility comes before honour.”

Eh. Maybe Mr Live Wire pulled the wrong bible verse there.

On Facebook, ‘doubting Thomases’ reacted by criticising Pastor Cuffie for photo manipulation, which, frankly, is a sad indictment of how cynical Trinidad and Tobago has become.

So, a man of God cannot alter the space-time continuum and send his daughter back three years to photobomb some law students without eye-rolling?

Next, they would probably be saying that Tanty Kamla didn’t turn a spliff back into a green leaf-like substance.

Mr Live Wire sees the Cuffie parable as the most heartwarming family tale since two Dicks got together to jam an unsuspecting 20 year gymnast.

“And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be belittled,” said Matthew 23:12, “and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.”

Undoubtedly, Victrina is a model of humility and understated success. Not many students graduate from law school with a degree in photoshop.

 

Editor’s Note: The photograph that the Cuffie was family was too humble to share…

  2. In the last days son of men say it will have plenty of faults preacher, and lots of sin and today watch around and tell me , He is just doing what he was Order to do by forces

  3. Pastor Cuffie you need to explain this.

  4. The man has always been a businessman he not on Jesus its about show business, that’s common knowledge ,who has ears to hear let them hear and see

  5. This photo is actually on the Miracle Ministries Facebook page posted by the church…u tell me ?

  6. ????. Them lower than the white line in the road. ?

  7. Oh… And congrats to Victrina Cuffie on graduating from law school. Yayy! (Get “better” photos next time tho!)

  8. While we at it, what going on with that next fraudster; Kitty Lutchmansingh? They get back the results of the DNA test yet?

  9. Lasana Liburd…AMEN! Thank you for calling a spade a spade…and not…a piece of earth moving equipment.

  10. I sorry for the poor child. Sins of the father! Now she is being ridiculed.

  11. Oh gosh I love it…my talented Trinis Lasana Liburd use this one too

  12. Sooooooo shouldn’t that photo from the University have copyright rights?

  13. Didn’t he get his PhD from a fake university as well? What’s good for the goose…

  14. Reay, I wonder if God put a billboard in the middle of Jerusalem with his son, Jesus, walking on water. Lol.
    Is Cuffie a better father than Jehovah? I’m just ad-libbing here. 🙂

  15. This is what investigative journalism about .

  16. Maybe is time someone does some research concerning all these awards given to his children

  17. Very strange indeed . And which hospital is his daughter who is the doctor employed in .?

  18. On a serious note, we (including myself) laughing but this is very dishonest, if he can do this and see nothing wrong with it then what other dishonest things he did hiding behind God? What he’s doing to his daughters is not healthy. He holds his daughters so high, nothing should be wrong with this because all parents will do the same. However, how he does it is very strange and unhealthy. Seems like his daughters skip being teenagers to fulfill his will and dreams. He better hope they don’t break out with the slightest smell of freedom.

  19. Imaging this man got the chaconia gold from the UNC government…them good yes smfh

  20. Your brand of satire is priceless Burd even when it trained on my own…keep doing thing in your professional way…lol…and I’m not surprised when a ‘ man of God’ used his weekly inspirational spot to defend anything political wong for the 5 years between 2010 and 2015…at least Mr Sat Maharaj didnt hide his opinion behind religious beliefs…

  21. Lasana I don’t know why he felt it necessary to go through such lengths because I can confirm she attended the graduation. He sick yes … smh

  22. And he got money from the UNC government for Xmas. Wonder what he did with it…

  23. Question: Does Pastor Cuffie think the world is filled with idiots?
    Answer: He has a million dollar lifestyle funded by poor people on the back of sermons about the merits of living humbly and averting one’s gaze from material things…

  24. The next thing cuffie will photoshop is his daughters receiving Nobel Peace Prize

  25. Is to distribute prints of this article at his church this morning

  26. Cuffie is known for these type of fraudulent shenanigans. Her doctoral degree is also fake. Purchased from a degree mill.

  27. Cuffie used his congregation s money to purchase false papers for all his children.Check out the timeline that his daughter became a doctor.Yes Dr winnsie Ann cuffie,she became a doctor in less time that is required to study to become a doctor.I’m sure that is one doctor I don’t want to put her hands on me.Is time they investigate this fraud star of a pastor, because clearly he is storing his treasures right here on earth.God will deal with these Antichrist.
