Years ago, I think it was in 1956, I was living with my uncle who was poor but I was poorer. If he had anything, we shared and when there is nothing, there is nothing. There was this day we were very hungry and there was no way food could come at all. Suddenly, a young girl came and said, “My sister said I should give you this pounded yam, vegetable and chicken.” My uncle said “I don’t know your sister. Are you sure”? The girl insisted so we took the food and my uncle said he would look for a gift to give her some other time and she left.

As soon as she left, we descended on the pounded yam and as soon as we finished it, the girl came back and said the food was not for him. I decree to you today, the miracle you don’t deserve, the Lord will send it to you this week.

Amazingly, @davido is not scared of seeing other people rise, he is very interested and instrumental in the rising of others, he is not jealous or feels insecure about others growth, this is the truth symbol of Leadership.

Interestingly, Davido is more social, open and fans friendly and Davido puts God first above every other things, he respect for the Things Of God is second to none. In my opinion, Davido is the Real GOAT. God Bless David Adeleke and his team.

I see people compare Wizkid to Davido and I consider that very insulting to David Adeleke as in who does that..? No doubt they are both doing well, but comparing Almighty Davido to Wizkid is unacceptable. Davido is far better and bigger than Wizkid, lobatan. God Bless Davido”

“I heard a voice saying ‘This is my husband!’” – Williams Uchemba’s wife, Brunella Oscar shares their unique love story, reveals she sent him a DM first

Williams Uchemba’s wife, Brunella Oscar has shared their unique love story, as she revealed she was the first to send him a DM on Facebook.

According to Oscar, she was randomly scrolling through Facebook on November 22nd, 2016 when she stumbled on Williams video and started watching it, and afterwards sent him a message as she was convinced she has found her husband.

Oscar who shared their love story with Wedding Digest Naija, said,

“It was the evening of 22nd November 2016 when I was scrolling down on Facebook and randomly came across a video of a guy (Williams) preaching the gospel and advising the young people on the path to follow in life .

The video was about 15 mins long but 30 seconds into the video I heard a voice saying “This is my husband!” I had no idea who this guy was, never even heard of his name before but I felt the urge to message him on FB messenger just to encourage him to do more and never give up on his passion I immediately clicked on his name, noticed it was a “fan page” but didn’t think too much of it because I thought that maybe he was a motivational speaker of some sorts. So I messaged him but I was not expecting a reply.

At the time I had just started my MSc. Degree 2 months ago and I vividly remember going to uni the next day all happy and smiling, telling all my friends that I had met my husband the night before. My friends can bear me witness because they thought I was crazy when I narrated the circumstance surrounding my statement s (bearing in mind I hadn’t got a reply yet!)

That afternoon , 23rd November I surprisingly got a reply from him but all he said was: “Thanks! Where are you from?” 1 To me that was a very blunt answer but I replied by saying where I was from, and then asked him the same question.

“His reply; ” I am from that state your mother doesn’t want you to marry from” . As I didn’t know what he meant I told him so and eventually he told me where he was from.

He then asked me for my age which I told him to guess, and he guessed right. He then gave me his number and asked me to message him on WhatsApp since there was a lot of traffic on his Messenger. That same night he video called me and we spoke for hours, and every subsequent night after that too.

“We video called each other a lot, we got to know each other more and more which was fun and easy because we felt like we’ve known each other for 10 years or more. We clicked instantly and I didn’t want to scare him off by saying “oh by the way the Holy Spirit told me you’re my husband” -* . I just let the friendship grow naturally and patiently waited for God to reveal that to him Himself.

“He told me a bit more about his work and passion for the less privilege and invited me to attend the next Winter edition of the Youth Assembly conference at the UN Headquarters in New York. We felt that would be a good platform to meet in person and hopefully see if we liked each other as much as we did over the phone. So 2 months after we started talking, now January 2017 , I went to NY and met him for the very first time.

“It’s fair to say that we connected instantly and it was clear to us that we were each other’s missing piece in our lives. We only spent 1 week in NY but, it sure felt like we’ve known each other all our lives and, 4 years later….well the rest is history.”

The love birds, who had their traditional wedding yesterday, November 15th, have their white wedding ceremony slated for November, 21st, 2020.
