You Don’t Have To Be Strong All The Time, Be Human – Toke Makinwa

Nigerian actress, Toke Makinwa has urged fans not to always try to be strong as they are humans and should admit they can get hurt and feel pain some times.

The controversial OAP, admonished fans in a series of tweets to allow themselves to be emotional sometimes as even in moments of hurt, the last thing they will do is to pray.

According to the once divorced socialite, it is very normal for one to feel disappointed, betrayed and feel a loss, however, that feelings does not make you weak because it proves that you are human.

In her words;

All that stay strong, trust God, don’t lose faith talk is not without days of real pain, days when praying is the last thing you feel like doing, days when your faith is totally gone, it is part of it, life is a journey. Feel your emotions in peace

Nobody knows how long the affliction of Job lasted for, we are told he never cursed or doubted God, he was strong, etc but I’m sure he had days of immense sadness, disappointment, bitterness and pain too. It’s all part of it, let yourself feel all that emotion, u are human

Part of your growth – you growing, is your ability to “feel” too, you don’t have to be strong all the time, it’s ok to feel that disappointment, loss, betrayal, let yourself go and feel the process. It doesn’t make you weak, you are HUMAN.

Big Brother Naija 2019 contestant, Timmy Sinclair otherwise known as Trikytee has opened up on how life can be hard on most celebrities (specially some BBN housemates) after getting out of the reality show.

According to him, the buzz surrounding him was the highest after the first week he got out of the highly acclaimed reality show. He admitted that he was blown away by the amount of social media following he had by the time he’d left the house and the attention from media houses was massive.

He however said that after some months, the buzz goes down and reality hits because deals were hard to come by. He added that this was made more obvious when he would notice his colleagues snagging one deal or another and he’ll keep waiting in faith.

On how he was able to avoid depression due to everything happening, he said ;

First, i told myself that my journey is different, i looked at the long-term plan and i noticed that this was only the first step and my story is different from everybody else’s story.

Secondly, i work extra hard to get stuff for myself since i wasn’t getting gifts from fans like other housemates usually do.

Also, i believe in God and it keeps me sane, i concluded that it was the will of God for me to be on the show and that alone, is enough blessing.

”HALLELUYAH!!!

THE GIRL IS 57 TODAY.
Only God Can Give a Man a Good Wife.

If I have not Found Jesus Christ, I would have missed YOU!.
Because WHEN I knew I had a Call of God on My Life, I knew I would never succeed in Life unless I got it Right in the Place of Marriage.

I knew I could Marry just any Sister and just have some Children, but not the Ordained Sister from Heaven who would give me the Children She Could sit down to train.

I knew I did my part in training our children, but the greater duties was taken by GLORIA.

She was never tired of sitting them down to teach them the Word of God.
She was never tired of giving them Cautions.
She was never tired of even controlling how they eat and what they eat.
GLORIA IS AN IDEAL WIFE.

If I had not accepted Jesus Christ, I would have missed HER.

Because I would never have heard the Voice that spoke to me that morning to leave where I was and travel to where I met her for the first time.

I thank God oooooo!

I thank God that all the Sisters I approached previously turned down my Proposals.

God bless them all for turning down my Proposals.
I was Blind.

I did not see that NONE of them was the Ordained One.
I did not know.

But Jesus Christ made them all to turn down my Proposals.
Until I Proposed to the Only Sister Who did not turn me back, but prayed over my Proposals and replied me after One Month.

Ah! She never saw any inadequacies in me but VISIONS and CALLING and MINISTRY.

No job, but ministry.

No house but Only One Room that contained all my belongings: standing hanger, cupboard, bookshelf, cooking pots and a standing Fan that had no leg and a small black and white Television.

She saw into the future!
She saw Greatness and Relevance in the future.
She Married me at 24!

TODAY, SHE IS 57 and still growing Stronger in Him!
Still Looking Radiant and Beautiful!

On Behalf of Dammy and Ella, Joshua and Tolu, Dara and Lawrence and our Grand Child, Gloria Zion, we all Say:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
MUMMY GLORIA!

From Yours and Only
“BRO. MIKE”!

“Why I Stopped Attending Catholic Churches In Nigeria” — Chimamanda Adichie

Chimamanda Adichie stopped

Renowned Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Adichie, has revealed why she stopped attending Catholic churches in Nigerian.

Chimamanda Adichie stopped

She revealed this in an exclusive interview with media personality, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Bounce Radio earlier in the year.

Speaking in the interview, the 43-year-old writer explained that she does not attend Catholic churches in Nigeria because activities became “way too much” about money, fundraising, and thanksgiving.

 Chimamanda Adichie stopped

She also revealed that she considers herself a Catholic, but is truly agnostic and questioning.

In her words,

“Nigerian Catholicism is way too much about money, fundraising, and thanksgiving. Some in the east even look at who’s wearing gold. I think the focus of religion should be things Nigerian Catholicism doesn’t focus on.

“I grew up Catholic. Catholicism was very important to me. It‘s almost like a culture, not just a religion. So even if you leave the Catholic Church, it’s in you. Today, I don’t like to talk about religion because I don’t know.

“I think of myself as agnostic and questioning. Catholicism holds you tight. There are many other protestant denominations that are not so. It’s all-inclusive. ‘You cannot eat before mass. You have to go to confession.’

“There are so many rules. It teaches you guilt in a way that I don’t think so many protestant denominations do. I’m Catholic, nominally. I still feel protective of some things about the Catholic Church. But I don’t attend it in Nigeria.”

photographer narrates

An Ibadan-based photographer, identified as Victor, has taken to Twitter to narrate how he was assaulted by policemen in an unlicensed bus.

Photographer narrates

According to him, he was driving from the University of Ibadan to an area called Vine Branch in the state when he noticed that he was being tailed by a white bus.

Photographer narrates

In his defense, he said he thought the occupants of the bus were armed robbers so he sped off. Unfortunately, when he was close to his destination, he had to slow down, which made them catch up with him.

He said he was physically assaulted and harrassed by the men, who later identified themselves as police officials.

Photographer narrates

He added that he was whisked off in their bus, and later released after they had thoroughly searched him and found nothing.

Read his post below:

“I was heading from University of Ibadan to Vine branch area to give a Camera lens to a friend. I was along Agodi road when I realized there was a white bus with no police tag following me bumper to bumper.

My normal security senses prompted me to speed off and give a distance ensuring the bus did not see a chance to overtake and double cross. They could be robbers

Right along the vine branch road I decided to slow down and the next thing is the bus double crossed , with about 6 men jumping out of the vehicle . I just realized they may have been the police after I saw about 2 of the 6 men in uniforms .

They rushed at my vehicle and hit it with intentions to break in. I unlocked the vehicle, got down and the next thing is one rushed at me and slapped me on both sides of my face

I was so confused. What did I do?. One exclaimed “Why are you running?”

I am running because an unknown white vehicle is chasing me ! Damn it ! Do you think I will not stop if police was written on the bus?!
These guys threw me in the bus and two supposed officers without uniform got into my vehicle.

They took my phones and started asking questions. I was asked to unlock my phones.

They turned around and headed towards Jericho . I practically told them the whole story of my life even down to where my parents worked . I told them I just finished from UI, I told them I am a photographer and they believed nothing.

One asked how many accounts I got ,another asked for my Gmail. They even asked how I came about the money to purchase my vehicle. What the hell?!!!! After searching through the trip and they found nothing . They parked both vehicles in front of DStv office Jericho.

The so called “Head of Operation” looked at me and said “Say the truth now or we will go and run your phone through forensics!” . I told them there’s nothing else to say after I have said nothing but the truth. They handed my license and ID cards to me and asked me to go”

“It was a gang up against my wife” – Comedian Buchi reacts to viral video of wife being arrested

Popular Nigerian comic actor, Onyebuchi Ojieh better known as Buchi has reacted to a viral video of his wife, Rukky being arrested by the police.

The comedian’s wife, Rukky was arrested by men of the Nigeria Police Force, after she allegedly harassed the estate security personnel and vandalized items which she was charged N700,000 for by the estate, but she and her husband reportedly refused to pay for.

It was gathered that Rukky was arrested following the altercation on the charges of assault and vandalism.

However, the comedian has now reacted to the allegations levied against his wife, describing the incident as a gang up against his wife. He noted that although she was taken to the police station, he was able to get her out before the next morning.

Narrating what led to the altercation, Buchi stated that the issue began after his younger brother fought the estate security who harassed his niece.

He alleged that after he informed the estate management that he will be suing them after being fined, his power supply was cut off.

Buchi said after his wife went to the estate chairman’s house and demanded that the power supply be restored, residents of the association ganged up against his wife, and destroyed her vehicle.

In an exclusive interview with PUNCH, he was quoted saying,

“I would not want to go into it but I will just want to say that all the allegations are lies. We had an altercation with the estate because one of the security men beat up my niece. My younger brother fought the guy and they fined us. I disagreed because we needed to go into the reason for the altercation; the security people harassed a tenant. They should not fine me because my younger brother defended my niece as I was not around when it happened. They fined us and I said that is not right.

“I initiated legal action and I informed the estate that I will take the matter to court. They said that since I was taking the estate to court, they will not provide power. I am not around and I had already told my wife not to make any trouble with them. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic courts are not sitting so we cannot institute any action. I have a ten-year-old daughter and the heat was getting unbearable for her so my wife went to demand that they should give restore the power, that was part of the video online, this led her to go to the estate association president’s house.

“I think what really caused the problem was that she went to the estate association president’s house and she said that she and her children were not going to leave until they restored the power. That was what caused everything. In the process of trying to eject her, they got into an altercation. My younger brother had to step in. The president cried foul to the members of the association and it turned to a mob and they started manhandling my wife. They went ahead to destroy her car. I have video evidence. I am asking, what did her car do to them? Currently, I am not around but I have been making calls. They took her to the police station but I was able to get her out last night. My wife never embarrassed me in public. She did not sleep at the police station. It was a gang up against my wife.”
