Tyler Perry attains

Tyler’s net worth just jumped and made him the newest official member of the 3-comma club, according to a new Forbes report detailing his rise from being “poor as hell” to rich and powerful.

According to the publication, Perry has taken in $1.4 billion in pre-tax income since 2005, and is currently worth $1 billion in total.

Tyler achieved this feat as a result of his shrewd business prowess, and the fact that he owns 100% of everything he creates. This includes a bevy of TV series, dozens of films, and multiple successful stage productions.

His largest source of wealth, however, comes from his library of film and TV media rights, valued at $320 million.

Recall that when Perry had his first play, it only sold 12 tickets, and he had to sleep in his car because he didn’t make enough for his rent.

Kanye West claims ‘God’ inspired him to interrupt Taylor Swift at 2009 MTV Video Music Awards

Popular HipHop rapper and entertainer, Kanye West has given a quite interesting claim that it was ‘God’ who told him to interrupt Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2009.

It was a quite controversial moment at the time when the billionaire rapper, 43, ran on stage at the music awards ceremony to interrupt Taylor while she was accepting the award for Best Female Video for her song, ‘You Belong With Me‘ because he believed Beyoncé deserved to win the honour instead. Taylor Swift was only 19 at the time.

Kanye, while stealing Taylor’s moment, said at the time: ‘Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you, I’ma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!

Speaking to Nick Cannon, 39, for an episode of his ‘Cannon’s Class‘ podcast, West stated that his actions which sparked a lengthy feud between himself and Taylor, 30, were the result of a ‘higher power giving [him] the information’.

He said,

‘Right now, God is giving me the information … If God ain’t want me to run on stage and say Beyoncé had the best video, he wouldn’t have sat me in the front row. I would’ve been sitting in the back. It wouldn’t have made it so ridiculous of an idea because I had never heard of this person before, and Single Ladies is, like, one of the greatest videos of all time. And I was only drinking Hennessy because I didn’t want to go to the awards show because it was a set-up.’

The rapper who plans to run for President of the United States in this year’s election, also disclosed that he started reading the bible after his hospitalization in 2016 for psychiatric observation and treatment of temporary psychosis.

West added,

‘God brought me to my knees multiple times. The first time that I was put into the hospital in 2016, I actually started reading the bible. That was part of what God hit me with. You know, God has a calling on all of us and he uses us in different ways.

Mathematician, who narrowly missed bagging fist class, reveals how she overcame the disappointment.

A lady who narrowly missed out on graduating with a first class has taken to her social media page to share how she overcame the sadness with the hope that it inspires someone out there.

The lady said she’d gone through every single phase: Denial, Anger and then final Acceptance. She was sad that she couldn’t achieve her goal and at a point she had to quit her job.

However, she later realized she had so much to be grateful because it dawned on her that she was ”graduating with a whole degree in Mathematics as the outgoing president of her department.”

Sharing photos of herself in her academic gown, she wrote ;

I finally mustered strength to do this after so long.
I’m sharing my graduation story. I hope it strengthens and inspires someone out there.

I went through every single phase: Denial, Anger and then final Acceptance.
I didn’t realize until then how so much of my self worth was tied to my grades. I remember asking God, why didn’t you just leave me on a 4.2 or 4.3? Why did you bring me so close to leave me here?

I had to quit my job cause I was losing it and I remember how dark those moments were.
Then something changed, I listened to a podcast by @sam_adeyemi titled “Gratitude, the ultimate attitude”. He talked about how we often tie so much of our identity to the things we don’t have.

He said despite the amount of goodness that was in the Garden of Eden, somehow Eve tied her identity to that one tree they were not allowed to eat and it became so much of a problem that she lost focus of all the other amazing fruits that they had.

The very one fruit that she couldn’t eat became a problem and her focus.
And right there and then, I realized I had so much to be grateful for, I had so much to celebrate. I was graduating with a whole degree in Mathematics as the outgoing president of my department.

I looked inward and I started to list every single thing I had that was worth celebrating and after doing this, I genuinely could not understand how despite all these things I had, somehow the one very thing I didn’t have became a problem that cost me my job and my sound mind.

And I just want to speak to the mind of those very few people who didn’t get what they wanted, maybe you didn’t graduate with the grade you desire or you’re not even graduating at all this year and you’re starting to doubt and question your worth, please look inward.

First thing first, you are not defined by your grades or the year you graduate. Choose to celebrate the littlest thing about yourself and remove your focus from the things you don’t have which most times you don’t even have a control over.

I’m super grateful for my family and the amazing friends God put in my life. I can’t even start to call names. Thank you allRed heart
That being said your girl is officially a mathematician.

pastor wanted to see me. I knew that day, there were two things that would happen ? either I died or I died.
Everything in me got drained.

Anyway, I went to see the pastor. He was in a conference room with other pastors and he said to me, ‘If you lie, you will die, because you are standing in front of God, Holy Spirit and me.’

He asked me, ‘Are you pregnant?’ and I said, ‘Yes’. He was so disappointed. He told me he wanted to see me in church every Wednesday and Sunday but I would no longer sing in the choir.” She said

How my COVID-19 status saved me after being arrested by Oyo State SARS — Photographer Ralph.

A young Nigerian Man has taken to his twitter page to share a terrible experience he went through after he was kidnapped by men of the Special Anti-Robbery squad in Oyo State.

According to the young man identified as Ralph, his covid-19 status saved him from further police harrrasement.

Read his tweets below ;

I left Oyo town around mid-day to Ibadan earlier today, we were barely 15mins to the journey when our bus was stopped by men of the Nigerian Police. Those who ply that road very well would know that there’s a particular

“check point” where police men normally extort drivers. I was seated at the 2nd to the last row of the 18-seater bus with two ladies and two guys at the last row.

When they stopped the bus, they ordered us to come down, I and one of the guys at the back row. We were the only ones that looked “fresh” in the bus according to one of the officers. When we came down, they started searching our pockets, I had a lot of pockets because I was wearing a Denim jacket, black shirt, black trousers (not ripped) and a pair of shoe. I was also holding a sling bag which contained, my camera, wallet, charger, my 2nd phone, a shirt and my work ID.

After the search, they told the other guy to enter the bus, apologized to the driver and passengers and told them to go (without me). My heart started racing because it was in the middle of nowhere and my voice literally started shaking.

They started asking me different questions after I had shown then my work ID and camera for photography but one of them said that I was lying and that because my voice was shaking, I was definitely hiding something.

He seized my phone and my ID and told a policewoman to take me to the car with a driver already waiting. It was not an official car, it was a “Micra” (popularly used in Ibadan as taxi) but this was a blue one.

I refused to enter the car and the woman threatened to hit me, that I was going to jail. Jail ke, who did I kill? I insisted I wasn’t going anywhere with them because I did not do anything wrong, neither did they find anything on me.

The other male officers saw I was resisting and said “Put am handcuff”. One of them came and pushed me into the car. While I was there, they had already stopped another car and picked another victim. I was scared because I have read stories of victims of SARS on twitter.

They asked the new victim to sit on my legs in the car while two of the officers sat on both sides then the journey started. While on the road, one of the officers collected my sling bag and took my other phone, which was a “Nokia torchlight” phone.

He opened my inbox and started reading my messages. He came across a message from NCDC that stated that I tested positive to COVID-19 about two months ago. He looked at me in disbelief and kept quiet.

I noticed his expression when he saw the message. I took the clue and said “I get Corona o”. The lady officer screamed and shifted away from me. I told them that I came out of isolation few weeks ago and I was still recovering.

The other officers started laughing because it seemed funny to them. They didn’t believe until the officer who held my phone confirmed that he saw the text. They stopped laughing and everywhere was quiet.

They drove us to a town called “Moniya” in the outskirts of Ibadan where there station was. When we reached, they asked the other guy to write a statement and they asked me to sit down. They gave me my phone to unlock, that was when I tweeted, they didn’t notice because

they thought I was entering my password. Unfortunately, the tweet didn’t deliver because my data was off. They started checking my phones and my ID. The lady officer was literally avoiding me now.

When they could not find anything incriminating, they asked if I could speak Yoruba, I said “No” which was not true. One of the SARS guy we met at the station even asked which country I traveled to that made me contract COVID-19.

That question surprised me because it only meant that he does not believe that there’s COVID in Nigeria.

About 15minutes later they agreed **in Yoruba** to let me go but I had to drop “10K for fuel”. I told them I had just 500 on my pocket and nothing else. They gave me back my belongings and asked me to go.

I told them I didn’t know the way to Ibadan and they described a place where I could get a cab to Ojoo. I was close to Ojoo when I noticed they didn’t give me back my work ID, I told the cab driver to stop immediately, I took a bike back to the station and collected my ID.

It was an quite an experience for me. But thank God it was not worse than that.
