“I want Burnaboy to win the Grammy so that we can rest and breathe” — Media Personality, Shade Ladipo

Media entrepreneur, Shade Ladipo has stated that she want’s the Nigerian self styled African giant, Burna Boy to win in the 2021 Grammy awards.

The media personality in a rather sarcastic comment stated that she want’s Burna Boy to win the Grammy awards,so that “Nigerians can can rest and breathe”.

In the nomination list for the 63rd annual Grammy Awards which was released November 24th, Burna got a nomination with his new album, ‘Twice As Tall.’

In reaction to Burna Boy’s second Grammy nomination, Ladipo stated that Burna’s Twice as Tall album was good and deserves the award, adding that if he wins he can at least look forward to achieving other things.

In her words,

“I want Burna Boy to win the Grammys so we can rest .. Oya Oga you’re the best. Frustrate us we are your Nigerians. TBH Twice as Tall is a great album. It’s devoid of tricks. It’s exactly what it’s supposed to be almost a coming of age who Burna is..

“Pls recording Academy let Burna Boy win so we can breathe in Nigeria and he can have something else to look forward to”.

Recall that in December last year, Ladipo who is very critical of singer, Burna Boy labelled him the most unprofessional artiste in the world following his first Grammy nomination.

Shade did not give an insightful reason as to why she crowned Burna Boy with that title but she also went on to add that the singer’s reign would end soon.

Nigeria ranked 3rd most terrorized country in the world

A new report released by the Global Terrorism Index (GTI) has ranked Nigeria, for the sixth consecutive year, as the third most terrorized country in the world.

The report which was released on Wednesday, November 25, ranked Afghanistan as the number one most terrorized country in the world, followed by Iraq. Syria, Somalia, and Yemen are ranked fourth, fifth, and sixth respectively.

The report however stated that terror-related incidents in Nigeria fell by 27% in the same period. This was attributed to a significant reduction in violence attributed to killer herdsmen.

“Despite an overall decline in terrorism, Boko Haram, Nigeria’s deadliest terrorist group, recorded an increase in terrorist activity mainly targeted at civilians. Terror-related deaths and incidents attributed to Boko Haram in Nigeria increased by 25 and 30% respectively from the prior year.

“In 2019, Boko Haram carried out 11 suicide bombings causing 68 fatalities. Suicide bombings accounted for 6% of all terror-related incidents by Boko Haram in 2019, marking an 89% decline from their peak in 2017,” the report read.

Other countries among the 10 most impacted by terrorism are Pakistan (seventh), India (eighth), the Democratic Republic of the Congo (ninth), and the Philippines (10th).

According to the report, Nigeria witnessed her worst terrorist attack in 2019 in Borno State, where at least 70 people were killed and 10 others wounded when assailants attacked at a funeral.

“In 2019, Boko Haram carried out 11 suicide bombings causing 68 fatalities. Suicide bombings accounted for 6% of all terror-related incidents by Boko Haram in 2019, marking an 89% decline from their peak in 2017.

Boko Haram was responsible for Nigeria’s deadliest terrorist attack in 2019 when assailants attacked a funeral in Badu, Borno
State.

At least 70 people were killed and 10 others were wounded in the attack and ensuing clash. The two main factions of Boko Haram, the Islamic State West African Province (ISWAP) and the followers of Abubakar Shekau, are both engaged in an insurgency campaign against the Nigerian government.

Violence by the two main factions of Boko Haram have taken a large toll on the civilian population, particularly in northeast

Nigeria, where continued attacks have internally displaced more than two million people and caused a further 240,000 Nigerian refugees to flee to neighbouring countries.”

Man recounts how he prophesied about marrying his wife when he was just 3-years-old

man recounts

A Twitter user with handle @thepoeticson has recounted how he prophesied about marrying his wife when he was just 3-years old.

Man recounts

The man, who identifies as a ‘Prophet’, said his wives’ mum had paid his family a visit when she was pregnant with his wife.

According to him, he was just 3 years old at the time and he reached out, touched her baby bump and prophesied that the baby would be a girl and she would be his wife.

Man recounts

The couple are happily married now and the man shared their childhood photo together, and another photo taken on their wedding day.

Read his writeup below,

@Heeldarh’s parents and mine had been friends since before either of us were born and they are till now. So when her mum was pregnant for her, she came to my house one day ( I was three years old at that time).

I was told that I reached out, touched her belly and told her that she was going to give birth to a girl and that the girl will be my wife. Why I say I was told is because I can’t say that I vividly remember that day even though I now have flashes of it. I only grew up hearing the stories and on her first birthday, we were made to take this picture.

Growing up, we never attended the same schools from primary school till university but we saw each other in church from time to time. She struck me as a very pretty girl and because she was tall she was my spec but I never had the liver to talk to her. I remember one time when she was standing beside her mum’s car after church (she remembers that day because she said she wanted to talk to me too). I wanted to approach her but my confidence made me take a detour.

Anyway, fast forward to 2016. She reached out to me on Facebook on her way back to school. She said hi, and we began to talk. In order to break the ice, I brought up the conversation about the prophecy and I asked her if she knew I prophesied her birth.

She said her mum had told her and we hit it off from there. From friends, to lovers, to engaged. When we went to pay her dowry, my mum told the story in front of many witnesses who concurred with Hilda’s mum being the chief witness. That was a life changing moment for me.

It shaped my faith and my reality about God and Jesus Christ. With childlike faith I accepted the prophecy and made it my own just like how I believed the Jesus I was told about as a kid with this same faith. It was then that it dawned on me that I had never seen Jesus before I believed in him. I had only heard from witnesses about who He is, what He did, and the things He promised. The relationship I have with Hilda is a representation of the relationship God desires to have with all humanity.

It’s the Tribal Marks for me!🤎

——————————-
Back in elementary school in Canada, I remember being made fun of about my tribal marks and being asked if I got scratched by lions in Africa 🤣🤣. The teasing got so bad that I tried surgically to remove my tribal marks…..(Ouch 🤕).

I felt it made me so ugly and weird from everyone else around me because I didn’t understand why I had it in the first place! Now that I’m all grown and wise, I’ve come to realize how beautiful & unique it sure makes me look. True beauty does not come from physical attributes…true beauty comes from what is within.
Here’s to the tribal mark gang ✊🏾🥂
