See his post below:
I’m gonna do my best to help everybody that needs help around me in my own little way. So help me God
Recall that thne singer was the talk of the town after he received bashing for signing for YBNL and Doro Music star, Lyta to his Marlians Record Label.
Naira Marley made the announcement on his Instagram page recently with a photo of himself and Lyta signing the contract papers on the bed
“Welcome to MarlianMusic @official_lyta ???”, Naira Marley wrote.
Lyta also shared same photo on his Instagram page and wrote;
“I’m so excited to be joining my new family Marlian music, thank you my President @nairamarley for giving me this amazing opportunity?⚡️”

The average human is unaware that he/she lives a sheltered life; we are so deeply immersed in our relative struggles and challenges, that we are blinded and somewhat shielded from the harsh reality that things could have been so much worse than they are.
A short walk, down the corridors of hospitals, the pews of churches, or the gates of spiritual houses, would indeed shock you.
Prophet Jeremiah Fufeyin is one of a unique set of pioneers who, daily, are exposed to millions of people with appalling and gruesome cases of deteriorating health, spiritual attacks, and other darts from the enemy. It was on one of such days that he came in contact with sister Faith Victor and left an indelible mark in her life.
Faith Victor, a beautiful young lady from Edo State, was hardly recognizable a couple of months ago. A young woman with budding dreams and a huge zest for life, was suddenly afflicted with an abominable skin disease that spurted out in huge boils with pungent discharge, on every imaginable area of her body. In the blink of an eye, Faith Victor was rendered a repugnant, invalid who relied on people to carry out necessary daily tasks. She could not eat, sleep or move without experiencing excruciating pain on every level.
If doctors, healers and spiritualists had the answer, sister Faith would have since been healed; none could even give a name for her ailment. In clear terms, she had been declared dead before she encountered a true prophet of God; a Man of God who has a supernatural mandate to restore the essence of life, where it is lost.
A declaration by a sent man, was all it took to change sister Faith Victor’s entire future and restore her skin and health, completely.
One would never be able to associate the beautiful and graceful woman with the distorted invalid carried about on a stretcher, but she will confidently tell you her story, and how God can turn any disaster into a testimony.
May God continue to direct and enable His son, Prophet Jeremiah Omoto Fufeyin, as he demonstrates the immeasurable power of God, here on Earth.

Abubakar also stated that Jibril’s father, Aliyu Umar, was found culpable of cruelty to his son and has been duly charged to court.
His statement reads;
”The Kebbi State Police Command wishes to inform members of the general public that on the 09/08/2020 at about 1440hrs, information revealed that, one Jibrin Aliyu, male, aged,12 years of Badariya area, Birnin Kebbi was tied with a rope alongside with animals and chickens for a period of two years after demise of his biological mother without treatment and feeding in their residence.

In the course of investigation, it was discovered that the victim, Jibrin Aliyu is a patient of Down Syndrome and his father, Aliyu Umaru has admitted to have tied him with a rope because he had taken him to various native doctors for medication up to the extent of selling some of his properties but all in vein.
Instead of his father to continue with his medication, he decided to subject him to such inhumane and degrading treatment in order to prevent him from roaming about in the town, stoning peoples’ vehicles as well as injuring himself which could lead to his death.
In the light of the above Aliyu Umaru was found culpable of being cruel to his son and has been charged to court accordingly.”

A man whose gigantic belly appeals to the fat fetish community has disclosed that he eats around 10,000 calories a day, to maintain his “ball gut” and keep his followers entertained.
The 44-year-old Bryan, who goes by the nickname Gainer Bull, began gaining weight more than 20 years ago and started “bulking up” his stomach.
He explained that his weight gain turned sexual as a teenager as he began to realize being bigger added to his arousal. Now weighing 500 pounds, Bryan, from Palm Beach, Florida, makes money as an OnlyFans influencer. Subscribers pay $20 a month for his content.
Speaking to Metro, he said his “loading sessions“, which he shares with his followers, involve him eating four times the standard amount of calories for an adult male and come at great expense.
On a typical day, he will eat 10,000 calories or more but says weight gain does not come easily to him. He often has followers encouraging him to eat more to see how much weight he can add on.
He said,
“It’s been years of escalating my intake and binging to increase my capacity but these days just the regular eating keeps me going though sometimes an encourager or two like to really push me to go much farther.”
Bryan used to be a slim man.
However, he intentionally began putting on weight as he said he realized his body getting bigger got him excited.
Apart from OnlyFans, Bryan also has a significant following on Instragram, where he shares regular updates on the progress of his ever-growing stomach.
