Popular Ghanaian actress, Juliet Ibrahim has taken to Instagram to reveal that she has everything she could ever need in her life.

Juliet Ibrahim brags

The brand influencer who shared a breath taking photo of herself on her verified Instagram page noted that when she counted her blessings she realized she has everything.

In her words,

“When I started counting my blessings, I realized I have everything I could ever need.”

See her post below,

However, Juliet recently took to her social media page to air her displeasure about being called a half-caste.

The actress told a story of how someone she had a conversation with insisted she isn’t “black enough” to be called a black woman because of her skin colour.

Juliet Ibrahim brags

The beautiful film star revealed people see her and her siblings as half-caste, a term she insists she finds offensive.

Her post reads,

“I had a random conversation the other day with someone and it was appalling when he mentioned passively to me that he doesn’t see me as a #Blackwoman ! He argued, you are not “black enough” your skin isn’t dark enough, your hair not kinky enough. And thus my siblings and I do not “count” as Black.

Now this is Exactly, what we are fighting to correct amongst ourselves and the world at large. I am a black woman! When I’m abroad amongst the whites, I am classified and recognized as a black woman, however, right amongst us Africans I’ll be referred to as a Half-Caste! This is the most derogatory term to describe a person of mixed race or mixed ethnicity.

We are referred to as mixed race or multi-racial! Mixed race people are no less black than their dark-skinned counterparts. So, let’s all say NO to RACISM, TRIBALISM, COLORISM and SEGREGATION. Let’s teach and train our children to grow up and accept people for who they are and not by the color of their skin.”

A Nigerian lady has slammed Nigerians for ignoring the important issues facing the country and supporting disqualified Big Brother Naija housemate, Erica.

According to her the Big Brother Naija reality TV show is a waste of time.

In a video which she shared on social media, she said,

“Please what is Erica? I have been hearing Erica Erica everywhere. Please is it a new pandemic? Or is it an airborne disease that just broke out? Or is it an animal? Wait ooo…Is it a new “ororo” that Dangote just produced and people are trying to advertise?

“Maybe I will also buy because it will be good to fry plantain. Why are we doing this to ourselves? I don’t understand. What should be in everybody’s mouth is the high electricity tariff and fuel subsidy. This is bad. Nigerian youths why are you killing yourselves?

“Big Brother Naija is a three months waste of time. Do you know what it means to waste three months in your life? Some people spent more than N20,000 on voting but they are suffering. Shey you dey mad ni? Now they have opened GoFundMe for Erica. Are you guys crazy?”

Amazing!! – See transformation of a 3-year-old girl after she was accused of witchcraft and set ablaze in Akwa Ibom

Popular Danish humantarian worker, Anja Ringgren Loven on Tuesday, celebrated three years since she and her team rescued a young girl who was about to be burnt to death after being accused of witchcraft in Eket, Akwa Ibom.

Anja shared a before and after photos of the young girl and said although the scars on her body will never go away, the young girl has undergone a tremendous personal development and recovery after struggling with low self esteem, sadness and physical pain.

Read her post below ;

“On the 8 of August 2018 I shared the story of Queen. At that time she had been with us for 1 year,” she wrote.

So today Queen has been with us for exactly 3 years. Queen’s story is very horrible. David Emmanuel Umem and our team rescued her just before she was burned to death. Queen was very terrified and weak when she came to Land of Hope after several treatments at the hospital. 70% of her body were burned and she was in so much pain

The scars on her body will never go away. It´s a constant reminder of the attack.
And it has not been easy for Queen to overcome her challenges and regain her strenghth. After her rescue she isolated herself in her room and struggled with social and communication problems.

Queen had trouble connecting with the other children at Land of Hope, making friends and understanding what was expected of her in social situations. All as a result of her being attacked and abused.

But as most of you already know, at Land of Hope we have the best team in the world, led by Nsidibe Orok our Director of Child Development. Once Queen came under the wings of Orok and all our teachers, medical staff and social carers, Queen embarked on a tremendous personal development.

3 years ago Queen had a very low self-esteem and increased sadness. She was often irritable and acted out. She had no motivation and was not very social. Today it is the total opposite ! Queen loves to go to school and she is very social. She will come to me many times a day and just talk talk talk

Queen is now a very strong young woman and on the football field it is not easy to dribble past her. She has so much determination to be the best and she smiles all the time. She has totally regained her strenght and on this new picture of Queen her self-esteem just oozes out of her

Not only do we have the best team in the world, we also have the best supporters in the world Without YOU we will not be able to rescue children and to save lives. For ONLY 14 Euro a year you can become a member of Land of Hope and support Queen and the rest of our 75 children at Land of Hope and give them all a better future”

“We went to Timesquare, I ordered appetizer because I was so broke and I was so hungry! And I remember she was just looking at me asking what are you ordering and I was like I’m not really hungry… and then she just kept asking me are you sure… and I just started crying and when asked what is the matter I was like Elohor i don’t have money…

“She started ordering stuff and even ordered stuff for me to take home. .. and I just remembered going home to my box (in the shelter) and I just started crying and I was like I can’t believe this girl just made my day…”

Breaking down in tears, she talked about how Elohor was the first person she contacted when they posted her picture on Timessquare. She added a word of encouragement and urged people to never give up.

“So the first time when they posted my picture on Timesquare, she was the first person I called to say Elohor do you remember the first time… that was twenty years later… If I gave up five years ago I wouldn’t be saying this story. Don’t let time rob you of your joy…”

In his fit of anger, he called Freeze a Bast*rd and threatened to deal with him if he comes at Oyedepo again. He also ”cursed” the day Freeze was born with the congregation cheering him on.

Daddy Freeze has since responded to Pastor David Ibiyeomie. He accused the pastor of racial discrimination and threat to life. He then ordered the clergyman to publicly apologize to Somalians, journalists, half-castes, etc as he insulted them indirectly in the video.

Reacting on Instagram, Charly Boy threw a series of questions at the clergyman and declared that he will make him an “assignment” if he makes Daddy Freeze a topic.

Charly Boy wrote,

“Look at these Con Men Of God.

So pastor Ibiyeome is saying that The Chief Racketeer, Pastor, Cardinal, Pope, Bishop Oyedepo can’t make mistakes because he’s all knowing?
Even in the house of worship he is calling our anointed Daddy Freeez a Bastard?

Pastor Ibiyeome,

#BBNaija: “Erica being disqualified was a silent group plan organized by Laycon” – Facebook analyst says

A Nigerian lady on Facebook, Nkii Queen has taken to the platform to suggest that Big Brother Naija housemate, Erica’s disqualification came as a result of an evil plan organized by current members of the house.

According to her, the plan was orchestrated by rapper, Laycon and some other housemates were involved, including Nengi. Nkii says that these housemates made a secret plan to intoxicate Erica, knowing fully well that alcohol is her weakness and so used that to their advantage.

Nkii wrote on her page,

Having so much hatred on a woman to the extent of organizing meeting collectively planning how to destroy her through her weakness (alcohol) is the greatest witchcraft. people watch bb for just watching sake, but me, bb is a serious institution. i read every bit of people’s actions in that house. Erica been disqualified was a silent group plan. the remaining housemates in the bb house are all involved in making sure that Erica is been disqualified. There’s something Erica has that so many of them are having sleepless night for not having it. Nengi is the first suspect. But no wahala such is life. just that Erica is not sensitive enough to know her worth in that house and how her fellow housemates were not happy for her gentle smiling face. And let her serious do away with alcohol, that’s what they use in executing their evil plan against her. Though Laycon is the chief priest of the evil. I salute your courage on accepting responsibility of your actions and its consequence. Erica is already made name, she will be fine. i,m not her fanoo, but she’s a true love that doesn’t know what is pretence. ? you Erica.

“We are not dating, we cannot be doing stuff that people in a relationship do” – Nengi tells Ozo

Relentless BBNaija housemate, Ozo, is still trying to put pressure on his love interest Nengi, to accept being in an intimate relationship with him.

This morning during their daily workout, Nengi had to set boundaries again, telling him that they are just friends and should keep it at that.

In her words,

“It’s simple, we are not in a relationship, we cannot be doing stuff that people in a relationship do because we are not in a relationship

“I have told you this thing repeatedly, we are friends, let’s keep it at friend. Stop trying to steal kisses.” she added.

Watch the video below,

Recall that, Ozo was captured on camera recently, professing his love to Nengi as he tells her that while they’re in a reality TV show, he’s also living his own reality and his reality is the fact that he’s in love with her and there’s nothing he can do to change.

While laying on the bed, Ozo approached Nengi to yet again, tell her of his feelings for her… this time, using the strong four letter word. He then tells her he never will say it to her again until they leave the Big Brother house as he believes the only way anything can work between them is if they’re both being truthful and honest with themselves.

Nengi has overtime refused Ozo’s advances as she continues to say that they’re nothing but friends only cause she actually has someone outside the Big Brother house but should in case that relationship doesn’t work, then can she only consider Ozo.

Daddy Freeze responds to Pastor David Ibiyeomie for calling him a bast*rd and cursing the day he was born (Video)

Nigerian media personality, Daddy Freeze has responded to Nigerian Pastor, David Ibiyeomie who cursed him for allegedly insulting his mentor, Bishop David Oyedepo.

Pastor Ibiyeomie, during one of his Sunday sermons, called Freeze a bastard among a number of other derogatory things. The clergyman insulted the media personality, who is known for tackling prosperity preachers — he also cursed the day Freeze was born and threatened him.

Reacting on his social media page, Daddy Freeze accused Ibiyeomie of racism, discrimination, and threat to life.

Freeze began in his response, “Even if you have a gun to my head, I’ll still speak the truth”

He then said he was “devastated” by Pastor Ibiyeomie’s video because of the “content” and he went on to reveal what about the content troubled him.

Freeze said he didn’t insult Bishop Oyedepo as Pastor Ibiyeomie claims, but simply drew the religious leader’s attention to a part of the bible.

Freeze said,

“Correcting the scripture is not an insult. Christ was criticized, Peter was criticized, Paul was criticized, even the Pharisees were criticized, so there’s no way you’re going to preach a message from the scriptures that you’ll not get criticisms.”

Condemning Ibiyeomie for likening him to the Somalians in a derogatory manner, Freeze said,

“I find it very devastating that just to get to me, Pastor Ibieomie will drag the whole Somalia nation. I’m very proud to associate myself with Somalians because they’re a beautiful people. It is hate speech to undermine them with derogatory words, like there’s anything wrong with the Somalians.”

Freeze also drew the attention of the public and the law enforcement agencies to the threat to his life.

He said,

“Pastor Ibiyeomie, I don’t know if you realize that a threat to life is a criminal offence…. If anything happens to me, I hope you know who to hold responsible.”

He also condemned Ibiyeomie for undermining the broadcasting profession just to undermine his source of income. Freeze said,

“You went on again to undermine the noble profession of broadcasting. I’m a proud broadcaster for the last 25 years. I’ve dedicated my life to this beautiful, noble profession…”

He said he takes his children to the radio station to watch him work with the hopes that one or two would take over the profession. He added that broadcasting isn’t something to be ashamed of.

“I think you should apologize to every journalist, every broadcaster, for undermining our work” Freeze told ibiyeomie.

Reacting to being called a “half-caste” by the pastor, Freeze said the word “half-caste” is “racist” and he asked that Ibiyeomie apologizes to victims of racism.

On being called a “bastard” by Ibiyeomie, Freeze said, “You say I’m not my father’s son. I put it to you to prove who my real father is.”

He further questioned Ibiyeomie if his utterances are in “synchrony” and “symphony” with the teachings of Christ.

Watch Freeze’s reaction in the video below,

On Monday September 7, “In a post titled “Specially and wonderfully made” Idowu shared how she learned to overcome stigmatization and found self-acceptance after years of battling with suicidal thoughts, bodyshaming and discrimination.

“I’m a kind of person that used to be ashamed of myself for being an Albino, and that’s because of how people always make gest of me by calling me “afin” (albino) and sometimes they’ll call me “afin o n jeyo” ( albino doesn’t take salt), and that always got me being body-shamed, to the extent that I would be weeping and crying, it got to a point where I thought of taking my life, cos I felt so discriminated and criticized,”.

“Unlike many Albinos who face a variety of health care, dermatological and opthalmologic issues like sunburn and risk of skin cancers, Ronke said her skin looks fresh and healthy. This she credited to her grandmother, who loved and took good care of her.

“But my grandma loved and tried all her possible best to take good care of me and my big sis, (of the same skin color) that people always wondered if I do take salt at all, cos of these theories that albinos don’t take salt, and I always take salt, cos I do eat the same food that others eat. Meanwhile, on the other side, some people would just call me anytime I walk on the street, and they would start appreciating and glorifying God through me, and would even be praying for the person who is taking care of me,” she wrote.

Ronke also shared an encounter with a lady that further boosted her self-confidence and self esteem.

“There was a day I went to a bank, and the cashier, after deposited my money, asked me about my name, and I told her, and she also asked if I always take salt, and I said yes, she then said “please can you do me a favor” I said yes, and she said “pls when you get home, tell the person you stay with, regardless of who the person is, tell him/her, that I said thank him/her for taking care of you, because you are so fresh and clean and beautiful” I was like, awwwnnn thank you. Since then I’ve been feeling myself and also proud of myself, because I’m specially made.
Want to use this medium to appreciate my late grandma for the cares and maintenance of my skin color and that of my big sis.”
