Denrele Edun writes interesting letter

He shared new photos on his social media handle to mark the special day. Happy Birthday to him!

DEAR DENRELE,

I can’t believe you’re 38!
THIRTY EIGHT.
F***ing eight years older than a 30-year old.
TWENTY years older than your 18-year-old self. You’re freaking out!
But, you know what?
You’re also 38-years young.
I mean, the moment you hit 30, you stopped counting right? Wake up and smell the frigging Coffee!

Denrele, you no dey hear word!
About time you learnt that just because you haven’t been loved in the way you deserve, doesn’t mean you don’t deserve it.
That just because some people found it hard to love you doesn’t mean you’re not easy to love.
Love yourself so much that you don’t feel the wanting from loneliness.
Love yourself so much it doesn’t matter who broke your heart in the past or who breaks your heart next. Love yourself so much you become complete. Love yourself so much you stop accepting anything less than what you need. Love yourself so much you stop accepting any less even from yourself.

Look in the mirror. The person you see standing in front of you is the love of your life. Feed him just as much as you’ve fed the mouths who bit chunks out of you. Find the places from which they did, kiss them and let them heal.

Walk away from situations that make you unhappy. Anything or anyone that steals your lighter energy has no business being in your life.

Stop putting yourself down and selling yourself short. Speak to yourself in a kinder voice. You have the whole world inside of you.

Be grateful for your accomplishments and work for those you still yearn for. You got this. This year, tune out the voice that says you can’t.
Take care of yourself. No one else will do it for you. No one else can do it better.
Think about the curly haired, suffering little troublesome kid you once were. What would he say to you today?
What were the things he always wanted to have?
Would you treat him like you treat yourself now?
Do what makes you happy. It’s as simple as that.

DENRELE,
Your life has purpose. Your story is important. Your dreams count. Your voice matters. Love yourself. Value yourself. Be yourself. The world needs you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGELESS KID!

SSS begins crackdown on individuals posting inciting materials on the Internet

On Wednesday, the State Security Service announced a nationwide crackdown on individuals allegedly caught posting inciting materials on the Internet.

The SSS said it had recently observed that some social media users were distorting Nigeria’s history to promote ethnic violence and tip the nation into crisis, a development it said must be urgently reversed through state interference.

SSS spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, said in a statement said that some “unpatriotic” Nigerians have been using social media platforms to make “unguarded public statements and/or use the social media platforms to instil fear in the minds of citizens”.

“These are reflected in the misleading statements and articles being circulated among unsuspecting members of the public. Such inciting materials oftentimes are designed to make or convey false accusations by one group against the other. They also resort to skewing historical narratives to suit their objective of masterminding ethnic violence in the nation. So far, some of the culprits have been arrested,” Afunanya said.

The SSS said it was “determined to ensure that the tribal chauvinists and mischief makers do not continue to exploit socio-political differences and Internet platforms to threaten the peace and stability of the country.” The service said regional and community elders should not only desist from making “unguarded statements” but also help shut down all ethnically-charged rhetoric by persons in their respective domains.

The SSS vowed to “sustain the apprehension and prosecution of defaulters,” because it would not relent in its quest to prevent crimes and keep Nigeria as an indivisible country.

‘You don’t even have to be married to make heaven’ – Daddy Freeze writes

OAP, Daddy Freeze has said an individual doesn’t have to be married for them to stay blessed and happy.

Daddy Freeze said this while reacting to the news of a man who killed his wife over infidelity accusations.

His post reads ;

You don’t have to be married to be blessed, you don’t have to be married to be happy, you don’t have to be married to be rich or successful in business, you don’t even have to be married to make heaven.

I learnt all these when my first marriage failed and after the first 2 weeks of me being alone, I realized how much happier I truly was.

With my partner, I find it so effortless, she immediately understood my purpose and set out to help me become the best me. I could NEVER EVER have carried the #FreeNation mantle without her support and understanding in Every ramification.

The greatest lesson I learnt from my failed first marriage is; although as humans we make mistakes, we don’t have to be forced to live with all of them. When you make the mistake of choosing the wrong partner, and find yourself in a bad marriage, leave!

“Stop lying to Nigerians, they are not stupid” – Etinosa blasts MC Galaxy over IG live nude video saga

Instagram comedian and Actress, Etinosa has taken to her social media to lambaste MC Galaxy after the latter granted an interview where he revealed that the March 15th Instagram nude video saga with actress and popular Instagram comedian, Etinosa was staged.

Etinosa blasts MC Galaxy

Recall, Etinosa made news after she appeared completely naked on MC Galaxy’s lG live video. She received a lot of backlash from Nigerians and at a point, came out to apologise and state that she regrets her action.

She has now reacted to MC Galaxy’s recent claim that it was staged. Etinosa called MC Galaxy a ‘drowning’ man and a ‘Loser’.

Her words ;

Stop lying to Nigerians. They are not stupid. This is the last I will say on this hurtful issue. It hurts me a lot and you can tell by the harsh stupid way I cursed an innocent child because his father won’t stop throwing it at my face. However, after that happened I tried talking to a real therapist and it really works- I have made significant progress.i am working really hard to be a better person. I no longer feel rage or pain when fans troll me about it.

I laugh. Moving on process isn’t as easy as it sounds on tv. By 9pm on Africa Magic Urban you would see me again looking all perfect and talking perfect too but it’s not as easy as it looks on tv so no one should make it more complicated by adding lies. You can’t try to win Nigerians by lying to them. An effective damage control should avoid lies(MCG you would know this but you are an illiterate surrounded by illiterates)

I have said my truth. I was caught at an unguarded moment, someone I called my friend recorded me and sent it to blogs. I take full responsibility and am trying to move on. I advice all parties involved including the nude video viewers to move on. Thanks.

Man busted with school girl in Nairobi guesthouse (Photo)

A man and a school girl were busted inside a lodge in Kitengela, south of Nairobi, Kenya.

The 17-year-old girl, who is a Form Three student, was supposedly heading home for the mid-term break.

The man is said to have booked the lodging room in the morning and later returned with the girl who was still in her school uniform.

The lodge attendants promptly alerted the police who arrived at the scene and nabbed the couple.

Identified as Patrick Waweru, the man owned up to his actions saying that the school girl had consented to their plans.

“We had agreed and she (the school girl) said we could go to a lodge with me. When the police stormed in we were still talking and nothing had happened,” the man said.

Police officers had a hectic time controlling a huge crowd which had gathered outside the lodge to get a glimpse of the man and the school girl.

Residents condemned the incident calling on the police to take action on the suspect. The two were taken to the nearby Kitengela Police Station.

The long arms of the law has finally gripped a priest in the Methodist Church, identified as Rev. Peter Adegoke Adewuyi for faking his own kidnap with the intention of making his church members and other concerned individuals pay a ransom.

The Ekiti State Police Command who effected his arrest, also picked up one Sunday Oluwadare Adewole who was helping the priest in making calls to unsuspecting members of the public to demand ransom.

The culprit, who is 31-year-old was said to have perfected his evil plans by lodging in a hotel in Ado-Ekiti and hid from public view from where he and his accomplice were making calls to the members of the public to pay ransom for his release.

He claimed that his ‘captors’ demanded N3 million ‘ransom’ before he could regain his freedom. The development reportedly threw his church into confusion with members raising cash to pay the ransom for what turned out to be fake kidnap saga.

Ugandan woman arrested for forcefully feeding step daughter food mixed with her menstrual blood

Police in Mukono, Uganda have arrested a woman accused of forcefully feeding her teenage step daughter food mixed with her menstrual blood.

Annet Namata’s husband, Unusu Lungu in an interview with Observer, revealed that he learnt about the shocking incident from his neighbours who intervened to save the teenager’s life when they saw her vomiting on the veranda after the suspect had left to go and trap grasshoppers.

He says the curious residents asked the teenager what had happened but she couldn’t speak and instead pointed at a plate of food inside the sitting room. The irritated residents notified Lungu after giving the teenager hot water to wash her mouth, garlic and charcoal powder to swallow.

Annet Namata

Lungu says he couldn’t withhold his anger and attacked Namata at her workplace. She reportedly confessed and blamed the girl, saying that she removed the blood from a bucket and mixed it with her food. According to Lungu, the suspect fled into hiding when he left to report the matter to local authorities.

“She mixed the blood with the sauce made of eggplants. She forced the teenager to eat it threatening her that she would strangle her and vanish. So I asked her to eat the food herself and that is when she confessed and said that indeed the food contained menstrual blood. But she blamed the daughter as the one who went and removed the blood from her knickers and added it to the food so she could be blamed.” said Lungu.

The village council leaders thereafter sweet-talked Namata on phone and convinced her to return for mediation. Sarah Namawejje, the Women LC I representative says Namata pleaded guilty to the accusations and asked for forgiveness.

She claimed that she was ill advised by her friends to feed the minor with menstrual blood so as to turn her into a lunatic. Namata claimed that she felt infuriated because of the preferential care that her husband was giving to the teenager.

Namwejje says that the case weighed heavily on the Village Women Council, which prompted them to handover the suspect to police.

“She told me that her husband ‘loved his daughter so much to the point of even beating me in case I annoyed her. Every nice thing my husband was giving it to her.’ I asked if indeed it is true that she gave her step daughter menstrual blood? She admitted and said ‘yes’ and that she had contacted a friend who advised her to give the teenager blood so she could become mad. She asked for forgiveness from the husband and the council.” said Namwejje.

Rogers Sseguya, the Mukono district police commander, says they have handed over the matter to the child and family protection unit, which is also ensuring sufficient care for the teenager to recover psychologically from this trauma.

I decided to share some part of my story just to motivate some people here because I want people to know that they’re not alone

Truth is some of The people who appear strongest.. some of the people u look up to who you envy are fighting the toughest battles too

I can come out wearing the brightest smile but deep down be really sad.

But in all…. I’ve come to understand that living is an act of bravery.

So, Today….I Celebrate me for never giving up! For holding me up regardless.

Now I know better….I love my life and how it is turning out.

I am grateful for it.

If I could shine a spotlight on it for everyone who’s ever wanted to die, I would, because it’s beautiful and amazing and I would do anything in the world to protect it. And I want anyone who might be suicidal to know how much better life can be.

Yes Emotional pain is real, and no matter how much it feels like it can’t end, it can. It can get better. It does get better. Life gets better. And you get better with it.

ThankGod we don’t look like what we’ve been through! HAPPY BIRTHDAY STRONG WOMAN.
