“I know people usually share their first 1m but to be honest I can’t remember when I made my first 1 million naira, it was always either a couple of jobs here and there, if I put it together it’ll be a little over 1m or less but 5 years ago, while feeling like this hustle would not pay, I got 10 million naira in one day.
“The exchange rate has made that soooo little today but back then, baby girl just arrived. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and it still feels like yesterday. I laugh when people see the now and judge my success, I remember how many free jobs I did, how many times I worked for exposure, how difficult hearing “No” was, those days were my days of humble beginnings and I hope that as you watch this video, you never give up.
“My tithe was the first thing I paid from it, it was also the very first time I was giving God that much money at once. I invested heavily in the brand you see today. You can watch full Vlog on my YouTube channel, link is in my bio”

The Minister of Defence, Maj. Gen. Bashir Magashi (rtd.), has said that Nigeria is safer today than it was many years ago under the previous administration.
According to him, the Nigerian Army is one of the best in Africa and can defeat any enemy when given the right arsenals and assistance.
Magashi stated this while speaking on Channels TV’s Politics Today programme, on Thursday, December 110.
He said, “In Africa, Nigerian Army should be adjudged one of the best, we have conducted so many operations outside Nigeria. We went to ECOMOG (Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group), we did the very best we can. We went to Sierra Leone, we did the very best we can and some other places. We are a force that is reckon with in Africa but because of the nature of the prolongation of this war, people are getting tired.
“They (Boko Haram terrorists) are not concentrated in one particular place, it is an operation that they hit and run, we don’t even know their bases. Now, we know that the best way to fight these people is to get enough intelligence and go out there to fight them and this is what we are doing. Every day, we are getting information and the Nigerian Army and Air Force are running them down.”
The minister also said that Boko Haram have been dislodged from Borno State but they occasionally launch fatal attacks to attract the attention of the international community and embarrass the government of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said, “They don’t hold any ground in Borno State. The only thing with this kind of insurgent operation is that they want to surprise you, embarrass you and do whatever they think will attract international news or commotion. That is what they have been doing and that is why we are trying very hard to adopt tactics and other forms of operations in order to stop these people embarrassing this nation.”
“At the moment, most people think because of these sporadic attacks here and there, we lost control or we are not doing our best. Most people know the problem of this country; the Armed Forces are overstretched, we are not supported by some of these countries we call our friends, they are not ready to give us what we need. But certainly, Nigeria is better of than what it was years ago”.
Young Nigerian men getting married to older white women has become a common thing lately. Many people have implied that they are marrying the older ladies just so they could acquire papers to stay abroad.
However, former assistant on New Media to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, Reno Omokri thinks otherwise. According to Reno Omokri, young Nigerian men marrying older white ladies goes beyond paper acquisition.
He wrote;
“Nigerian women complain that too many young Nigerian men are marrying older White women. It is not always paper job. Have you seen the marriage list some Nigerian women give men? It is enough to make a man impotent! Some Nigerian love is becoming too expensive. It is easier to get finance for romance in Nigeria than to get finance for business.
Our society needs an ethical revolution. If this prevailing trend of no romance without finance continues, more and more Nigerian men will prefer to marry foreign wives!”

Pastor Timi Adigun of MINE teenage ministry, a church focused on the sexual purity of teenagers, has been called out for allegedly sexually harassing teenage girls.
The Pastor was called out by a teens counsellor identified as Akan Imoh on Facebook. According to him, the culprit has been having carnal knowledge of ladies in his church, despite being the chief convener of “sexual purity/virginity day” in Nigeria.
Akan said when rumours of the clergyman’s sexual escapades started spreading, top leaders of the church launched an investigation into the matter and discovered that the allegations were true.
He expressed his grievance that the pastor has refused to address the allegations since it became public knowledge few months ago and has gone ahead to establish another church named “Haven of love”.
Reacting to the allegations, Mine Teenage Ministry has taken to Twitter to dissociate itself from the alleged shameful act of the pastor.
In a series of tweets, they wrote,
Based on the issue of sexual harrasment against Timi Adigun, the Coordinator of MINE Teenage Ministry, we hereby dissociate the message of the ministry from his actions
As a ministry, we stepped in to ask him to do the right thing, but our efforts were rebuffed.
Ever since the issue came up, he took over the social media accounts of the ministry, this is the only account we have access to.
We hereby announce to the general public that the message of sexual purity still stands irrespective of the action of the man that held a key position.
Following that with the talebearer sermon discouraging members from spreading tales about men of God in advance before his sexual acts with girls in the church were found out.
His defence when quizzed was that the girls also enjoyed the acts, and no one loves the girls as much as he does, going even as far as saying God will vindicate him.
When asked to take a break, he remarked that he’s been doing it for years and no one knew, so why would he stop preaching now when people still get saved despite his acts!
Together with his wife, Timilehin Adigun has instead taken to Instagram to do giveaways and creating a positive image of himself, not even a month from when the story broke out of his many excesses.

Reality TV star, Tacha has advised Nigerians to mount pressure on politicians and leaders at all levels of government to deliver on good governance.
She made the call via a video shared on her official Twitter page on December 9, 2020.
According to her, many Nigerians blame the president for all the challenge being experienced in the country, while forgetting that delivering on their mandate is the job of all leaders from the level of local government chairman to the president.
She said that Nigerians need to get informed on who their representatives in government are, from the grassroot level to up to the executive.
Tacha also made reference to the End SARS protest which took place in October, noting how it got the attention of key people in government because the youths mounted pressure on them.
The reality TV star further urged people to mount pressure on senators and house of reps members as they are all civil servants who are serving the people.
