Any lady who gets married and because of what Pastor or Pastor’s wife said, you decide to be claiming equal rights with your husband, you will just be setting yourself up for crises, unhappy marriage, divorce.
Pastors who’re saying a couple is equal are wrong; the husband is the head of the wife, Christ the head of the husband, they’re not equal.
This “equality” they are forcing into marriage today is responsible for most of the fights and killings, even Oyibo men can’t cope when their wife pushes herself as equal; they marry and divorce recklessly, some end up killing their wife and present it as suicide.
Enough said! The wise will listen. Those who think they can change nature, continue. We’re watching.
Actress Foluke Daramola has made future clarification about her stand on gender equality. Hear her:
“What got me upset was the fact that there are some things people talk about but they are not able to back it up with facts. When you say gender equality, the role of a man can never be de-emphasised to the role of a woman. That is why Hillary and Bill Clinton cannot be the president of the US at the same time. Bill Clinton had to teach her the grinds and she followed suit.
The Bible says that the man would love the woman and she would submit and respect the man. That position can never be overemphasised. I just wanted to drive some message home but later on, I felt it was not really worth it. When you have a bad mindset, there is no how another person can change it. My own position as a gender-based activist is not for the woman to be competing with the man but to complement him. In the scheme of things, the man would always be the head and the woman would be the neck. It does not mean that the woman cannot turn the head to whatever direction she feels like.
My own stand point is that of most reasonable women. Take for instance, Omotola Jalade has come a long way and she has been able to keep her home. It is just because she has a little bit of feminism in her. She has been able to balance her home and her career and that is why she has been successful. At the end of the day when people are talking, they should be able to think deeply and not just talk from the surface.”
Tiwa Savage has finally broken her long silence on Social Media amidst her ongoing marriage crisis with husband, Tee Billz.

Motherhood is arguably one of the toughest responsibilities in the world and while having a child is a great joy, every woman can agree that it isn’t fun watching the body go from a size 6 to a size 14.
We have seen celebs like Uche Jombo suffer from body-shamers as a result of additional weight she gained after having her son, Matthew.
Last week, actress Lilian Esoro, who is expecting her first child with MMMG boss Ubi Franklin, shut down a troll who called her ‘fat.’
Most women prefer to ‘hide’when they are pregnant as a result of the changes their bodies, however some others are bold and fiercely flaunt their baby bump.
In the spirit of appreciating all mother’s today, here are our top five female celebrities who rocked their baby bump stylishly.
1. Kafayat ‘Kaffy’ Shafau-Ameh
Top Choreographer, Kaffy gave a new definition to ‘rocking the baby bump’ during her two pregnancies, stepping out in body-hugging outfits and boldly showing off her pregnancy.
She made headlines when she danced energetically in a Michael Jackson tribute at the MTN ProjectFame Season 6 in 2013. She was 5-months pregnant!
Ennang Wushikka from Pankshin LGA, Jos, shared the pictures of her baby who was born without an anus.
According to reports, the woman had been delivered of the baby at home. It was however after the delivery that she noticed that her son’s stomach was getting swollen; and after taking him to the hospital, doctors revealed to her that the baby’s anus opening was not there.
Doctors at the state specialist hospital revealed that the case is not new. The medical condition is known as Imperforate anus.
The defect is one which is a congenital condition (present from birth). Those affected usually have no opening to their anus, as it could either be completely absent, or blocked. The anus is the opening to the rectum through which stool leaves the body.
The doctors warned if nothing is done swiftly, the baby might die. A surgery has to be conducted soon to carve out an anus for the little baby for him not to die, they said.
A lady shared her own tale of Domestic violence…She revealed hers while commenting on Facebook about the tale of Ronke.
She claims her husband comes home late at night, sometimes drunk…and he beats her everyday with cutlass, and tries to target her eye. She says her Parents told her not to come back to their house as she was the one who chose to marry him.
She also says she’s broke..as she cannot move out of her matrimonial home where her husband beats her everyday. Read Below:
Still battling with mine, comes home late in the night, beat me with cutlass especially targeting my eye, Parent warned me not to come back hom because I chose him…I’m Financially broke to move out and get an apartment…He tore my certificate, drops no money, still hoping on God to send an helper because I’m fed up, with 2 wonderful kids.
The Lagos State Police Command has launched a manhunt for Mr. Lekan Shonde, who allegedly killed his banker-wife, Ronke, in Lagos on Thursday night.
Ronke Shonde, a mother of two, was found dead in their apartment located on Tiemo Close, Off Awori Street, in the Egbeda-Idimu area of Lagos State on Friday morning.
The husband was said to have fled with his wife’s mobile phones after the incident occurred.
The Police Public Relations Officer, Lagos Command, Dolapo Badmos, confirmed the incident on Saturday, adding that the matter had been transferred to the Department of Criminal Investigation, Yaba.
She said “marks of violence” were found on Ronke, suggesting that she was murdered in cold blood.
The police spokesperson further said the command had launched a manhunt for the husband of the deceased.
Badmos said, “Yes, I confirm the incident. It was reported on Friday at about 8am by the landlady. She said at about 7am, she heard the screaming of Mrs. Ronke Shonde’s children, who is one of her tenants, as they couldn’t find the key to open their door from inside.
“When the door was forced open from outside, the lifeless body of the victim was found on the floor.
“Police operatives visited the scene and the corpse was removed and deposited at the Isolo General Hospital mortuary for autopsy.”
The police spokesperson explained that the deceased’s husband was at large and could not be reached on his telephone lines, which had been switched off.
“Effort is on to get him. The command will certainly get to the root of the case. The case has been transferred to the homicide section of the SDCI for discreet investigation,” she added.
Some residents of the street on which the couple lived, who spoke to SUNDAY PUNCH when one of our correspondents visited the area on Saturday, lamented that the deceased had been enduring an abusive marriage.
It was gathered that Ronke was the second of three siblings to die within two years.
A neighbour, who has a shop on the street, said Ronke died on Thursday night but the neighbours did not know until Friday morning.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the neighbour said, “It is a very unfortunate incident. The man had serially abused and assaulted his wife until the Thursday attack led to her death.
“He would tie her, beat her and take her mobile phones away. She should have left him long ago.”
The neighbour said the couple lived comfortably, as the wife worked with Guaranty Trust Bank while her husband works at the Apapa depot of Mobil.
The neighbour also said,
“The husband is much older than the wife; the woman was in her 30s while man should be in his 50s.”
The neighbour further said, “Some people heard when she screamed on Thursday night but nobody knew what happened to her until her nanny raised the alarm on Friday morning.
“I was one of those who packed her remains. She had injuries on her head, neck and around her private parts. There were blood stains on the walls, which indicated that she must have struggled with him until he overpowered her.
“She was a light-skinned person but by the time we broke into their apartment, her body was already becoming dark and swollen. A doctor who conducted some tests on her said she must have been killed around 11pm on Thursday.”
According to the neighbour, Ronke’s mother had three children, while her younger brother died about a year ago. He lamented that her death might have been prevented if her brother’s wife, who had been living with them, was home on Thursday night.
When one of our correspondents sought to speak with the couple’s immediate neighbours on Saturday, their residence, which had two buildings one of which was said to be occupied by the landlady, was shut.
Another resident in the area, who also declined to be named in print, said the police had sealed up the couple’s flat, while other occupants of the building had shut the gate to visitors ever since.
“The flat was not just sealed. The police called a welder to weld the doors, which are made of iron to protect the crime scene,” the souce said.
The neighbour added that Ronke’s uncle came to take the children to their grandmother who is based in Kwara State.

Below is Nkiruka’s survivor story. She shared the post on Instagram.
“The domestic violent story that led to the death of Ronke Bewaija Shonde today broke my heart and took me back to memory lane. Yes that is my ex husband and I, I was just 19 years on that photo. you can see the innocence in my eyes.
We where perfect , very perfect , outside but we fought inside .
You see that smile on that picture was plastic .
I was beaten to the alter on my wedding day .
What happened because I was tired and refused to pack plate .
I swallowed it and matched to the alter .
With tears In my eyes the pastor asked will you take him as your husband for better for worse , till death do you part?? Tears rolled down my eyes but the crowed clapped , screaming tears of joy ??.
I embarked on the journey of marriage .
At the age of 19 years I endured like a lion .
This fine young man here is an animal .
He beat me up and even beat up my younger once . The day he beat me to coma , he was beating my lifeless body before he was stopped and I was rushed to the hospital .
Do you know what my mother in law told me as I gained consciousness , she said (nkiru, lucky will beat you again o, get ready cause the father beat me too )
I went back in to coma .
He begged and I went back home .
This continued until I decided to face reality .
But the truth is , do you know why we women endure domestic violence ???
1) financial security . Yes I was scared to leave because I did not know how to begin financially .
2) society .. Yes after bragging to my friends , and society see you as a lucky perfect girl you will want to keep it that way .
3) loneliness … Yes you are scared if u will find someone better . I was saying who will marry me again , with my boobs like this , stretch marks , milk was still coming out of my boobs as of then , my big tommy etc , I was insecure , so I stayed.
Until one day , I woke and took a strong decision to walk away .
And when I left I left with nothing .
I left empty handed and embarked of this journey .
I kept repeating my name , Nkiruka , Nkiruka , Nkiruka (my future is bigger ) until I reached my destination .
Now I can hit my chest and tell myself I took the right step, even tho I never knew where I was going”
Below is how an eye witness who shared the photos on social media narrated the romantic story.
“We all thought it was a movie or photoshoot (due to the presence of the photographer) when this man went down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend! At that moment, the whole traffic stopped. That was when we knew it’s real life.
“Even the policewoman directing traffic had no choice but to watch in amazement. It happened at Agnes junction close to St. Dominic Catholic church/Our Lady’s secondary school in Yaba, Lagos.”
According to reports, the guy had spoken to the traffic warden about his intention before he went ahead so the warden helped him steer away traffic for the minutes it’d take him to pull his “stunt”.
We have read so much about the social construct called the Yoruba Demon, the ethnic stereotype of men from southwestern states that has made numerous trending discussion on social media.
But beyond the tribal bants, the typical Yoruba boy is seen as the one with the ‘extra sauce’.
The stylish, sweet-talking, heartbreaking young man that sweeps you off your feet, and when you think there’s no heaven better than being in his arms, he disappears.

Following the lingering marital crisis involving popular singer, Tiwa Savage and her husband, Tunji Balogun, a.k.a TeeBillz, lover boy “old school” singer-turned- pastor, Felix Aigbe Libarty has called out the couple to save themselves and the Nigerian music industry from further embarrassment by resolving their differences amicably.
Specifically, the “Ifeoma and 419” crooner, begged Tiwa Savage to return to her husband quietly despite the emotional pains she’s going through at the moment. He said:
TeeBillz is under serious attack from the pit of hell, and as such, Tiwa should not allow the devil to use her husband to destroy her future.
Speaking further, he said:
“It’s one thing to be famous and it’s another to know how to manage fame. I want her (Tiwa Savage) to go back to her husband immediately because there is no divorce spiritually except when the man is no more. I want her to know that if God wants to announce any woman that is matured, He will always match her with a man. In this case, that is what God has done for her.”
“I want Tiwa Savage to begin to understand that whatever is happening to her now is an attack from the pit of hell. Her husband is in deep trouble. I am sure that his pastor has not been able to tell him that he’s under attack.
The devil may not attack you directly, it will attack your partner. Spiritually, as I am seeing it, her husband (TeeBillz) is under attack. Every behaviour her husband is exhibiting now is manipulated.
The Bible says, you have to be there for your husband, and your husband will be there for you. Whatever that is going on now, remains the fact that your husband is being manipulated by spiritual forces that doesn’t want you to grow. And by the time you walk out of your marriage, you are giving the devil the opportunity to destroy your life completely” he counselled.

A cross-border driver has landed in trouble after he molested his own niece. The man has been sentenced to 12 years in jail for fondling and sucking his teenage niece’s breasts before thrusting his fingers into her private parts while his wife watched.
Vusumuzi Mthethwa, 34, of Pumula South, Zimbabwe was convicted of aggravated indecent assault by Bulawayo regional magistrate Chrispen Mberewere on Thursday.
Mthethwa will serve an effective nine years in prison after three years were suspended for five years on condition that he does not within that period commit a similar crime.
In passing the sentence, Mberewere said Mthethwa’s conduct was deplorable and appalling. “You indecently assaulted your niece instead of protecting her.
“Your conduct is deplorable and shameful. The courts have a duty to protect a girl child from people like you by sending them to jail for a lengthy period,” ruled Mberewere.
Revealing what happened, Police prosecutor, Paida Zengeni said on October 17 last year, the complainant who was preparing to write her 2015 ‘O’ Level examinations at Amhlophe High School, went to stay with Mthethwa at his house.
But on October 28 shortly after 4PM, Mthethwa invited his niece to his bedroom where he started caressing her before sucking her breasts in the presence of his wife.
Not done with her, he ordered the wife out of the room before forcefully removing the girl’s panties.
“Mthethwa removed the complainant’s panties and inserted his finger into her private parts several times,” said Zengeni.
The court heard that after committing the crime, Mthethwa threatened to assault his niece if she reported the matter to anyone.
However, his luck ran out after the niece shared her experience with a classmate who in turn informed their headmaster about her friend’s ordeal.
It was the headmaster who reported the matter to the police leading to Mthethwa’s arrest.
The victim was taken to hospital for examination and a medical report which was compiled proved that she was indecently assaulted.

50-year-old Elkanah Oghenovo Mowarin was the best graduate of Mass Communication Department, University of Lagos in the 2014/2015 academic session, having finished with 4.75 CGPA.
In this interview, he tells TUNDE AJAJA how it feels graduating at such age
At 50, why did it take you this long to have a degree?
I have had some degrees before now and as a matter of fact, I have been operating in the media industry for more than 20 years, but I know it is important for us to do what we have to do, regardless of age or the level we find ourselves.
I don’t want the emphasis to be on what I have achieved before going to UNILAG, rather I want to inspire and motivate people to do whatever they have to do, at whatever age or level, playing down on what they have before.
So, why did you go back to school?
I opted for undergraduate study because I wanted to have a comprehensive academic knowledge of an industry that I have been operating in for over 20 years. I wanted to have a substantial grasp of the academic dimension of media marketing.
I wanted to take it from the introductory level, like Introduction to Mass Communication, and then grow along that line. I wanted to have a holistic academic knowledge of Mass Communication from the first degree point of view and that was what I did. I needed the necessary academic certification to support my practice.
When you decided to go back to school, were there people who tried to discourage you?
Well, there were those who felt I did not need it. But as an adult, it was a personal decision. I prayed about it and I got a personal conviction to go ahead. And so I set my mind on my goal of obtaining a degree in Mass Communications.
How were you able to combine family and business with academics?
I am a multi-tasking person. I studied in UNILAG for four years as a full time student and I went to school every day and I was in class every time I should.
I live in Lekki with my family, but I had to secure an apartment close to the school due to my commitment to my study. I relied on the services of lecturers, senior students, and others considered to have superior knowledge.
To answer your question directly, it was about setting my mind on a goal which was to get certified on what I have been practising for years. With that in mind, I was able to blend everything together. It was indeed challenging, but God gave me the grace.
You would have had younger people as your course mates, how did you cope?
This is quite hilarious. I recall getting to class and seeing myself amidst students of 16, 17 years old. However, they (my colleagues) were very respectful. I was not arrogant. I was free with everyone. Though it was a challenging time, the fact that we had a good learning environment coupled with the cooperation of my younger colleagues made it enjoyable.
Were there times your younger course mates made you regret your decision of going back to school?
There was never a time. Though there were moments of disagreements, they were not so bad to make me regret going back to school. We were like a family.
There was never a time I thought of jettisoning the idea. I went to school to build capacity. I was very determined. Even if there were distractions and commitments, I refused to be discouraged. I was environmentally blind to things that might want to distract my attention.
Did you relate with them as a father or as colleagues?
I related with them first as colleagues, but those of them who came closer to me as though I were a father or uncle to them, I related with them in like manner. They called me daddy, uncle, and other names to show that they love and respect me.
Do you think you would have done better in your academics if you were younger and single?
Better? I don’t know. I had a 4.75 CGPA. Maybe I would have got 5.00 CGPA just like the overall best graduating student of my set. I really don’t think it is about age.
It is more of setting a goal for myself, attitude and self application to the course. There were younger ones who didn’t have first class and there may be older ones who couldn’t attain such. I believe it is God that gives to whomever He wills.
As the best in your department, did you plan to have a first class or it was by providence?
I was in school for academic knowledge and not with the purpose of bagging a first class. I think it came by providence, moreover, I don’t even consider myself as the most brilliant in my set. However, I was poised to have a good result and I was focused.
The first class feat is a combination of so many elements; like the enabling environment, wonderful lecturers, who were always ready to put us through anywhere we needed help and the seriousness I applied to it; but we give God all the glory. He is the ultimate. Beyond that, I gave it my all.
Since you had experience in what the course entails, would you say it was easy to have it?
Certainly not! Far from being easy. I used to get to school around 7:30am daily. I never missed a class and I never missed taking notes.
I was diligent in our numerous assignments and tests. It was a real struggle; but because I set my mind on it, it was not much of a problem.
However, I can say that it was indeed a very challenging time for me. Prior to my admission, the last time I drank coffee was in the secondary school, but as a student again, I had to rely on coffee to an extent so as to keep me awake and alive. So, I set aside many things to give my studentship 100 per cent attention. I made up my mind to study and make the best out of it.
One would want to assume that your exposure before going back to school must have contributed to your success How much impact did it have?
My exposure to media marketing was of tremendous advantage. I noticed that there was hardly anything I was taught in class that I had not been exposed to before as a media marketing entrepreneur.
So, my exposure assisted me a great lot in my studies. But beyond that, I studied as many times as it came to me. There were instances I read as early as 5am to 7am. Sometimes, I did all night reading.
By my nature, I read a lot. We had lots of assignments and tests, so I had to read. I also had resource persons who were always around to support me. I also had to visit the library to access certain books. I also did a few exercises to keep my body fit.
What interests you about journalism?
A journalist is an information carrier, opinion moulder and well respected in the society. Journalism positions you in any aspect of life: academics, entrepreneurship, governance, among others. It is a well-rounded profession.
Which area did you specialise in?
I majored in broadcasting, but the certificate reads B.Sc. Mass Communication, I had a rounded exposure to all sequences – broadcasting, print, public relations and advertising.
What informed your decision to major in the broadcast sequence?
I chose to major in the broadcast sequence because it best reflects what I have been practising for many years. I am into media marketing, with focus on television content production. So, I thought it necessary for me to be certified in the area I have been operating for years.
You must have had memorable moments. Can you share some with us?
One of the most memorable moments was when I got to the class one day only to discover that my lecturer was a colleague of mine where I had worked before. We were co-managers, and he is now a PhD holder. It was quite an interesting experience. When he saw me, he asked why I was in class and I told him I was his student.
Then he laughed and said he knew I came to acquire knowledge because I had attended several schools before. Another memorable moment was the day I entered class and students were greeting me thinking I was their lecturer, only to later discover that I was their colleague. There were instances when I went to make photocopies of materials and the people there would ask me the class I was lecturing. I told them I was a student and they were amazed. For me, everything was fun.
Do you still have plans of going back to school again?
Knowledge is inexhaustible. We will continue to learn. I love to study. So, I may still go back to school again. Never say never.
Can you tell us your happiest and the most embarrassing moments?
My happiest moments were after the release of semester results and I saw my results, having many As. I felt fulfilled during these times. On the other hand, my most embarrassing moments were the instances when people were not so friendly. This was from some of my course mates. These were people who would ordinarily be my children. Sometimes, they addressed me in an uncomplimentary manner, but I saw such as a price to pay for the environment I found myself. Another instance was, when in a bid to rejoice with my senior colleagues during their convocation party, I sprayed them money. I was later summoned by the management of my department. It was a very embarrassing moment for me. I never wanted to have any confrontation or bad time with my department. I was summoned and verbally cautioned. It was a depressing time for me, but God intervened as it was just a verbal caution.
What is your advice to students?
I will advise students to understand that their primary reason for being in school is to study. They should remain focused and shun cultism, alcoholism, prostitution and all other things that could make them disappoint their parents.
Aunty Laide Bakare today shared a picture of herself on Instagram, flaunting new nails she just fixed..She claimed the did the nails for $1000….That’s like N320,000 going by the Parallel Market exchange rate of – N320 to $1.

Adaeze Yobo got the read the sad story of the woman & mother of 2 who was beaten to death by her husband yesterday. Adaeze then took to her instagram page to share a power message to women in Abusive Marriages.
Read it below:
So sad!!! Marriage is not by force. Heck! Everybody must not marry. The society you’re worried about don’t even care about you. They are the same ones saying RIP on LIB. Pls think about it. Your life matters too. If you are in a similar situation pls pls pls walk out, whatever shame you are trying to hide will still be out there. Its not worth it. You haven’t fullfilled Gods plan&purpose in your life, I beg you not to be selfish. Your purpose in this life is bigger than you, bigger than your husband, bigger than marriage. Never apologise to anyone for leaving a (physically) abusive relationship. ”Ephesians 5:25 says men shld love their own wives as christ loved the church” ~ he gave up his life for us. Then Ephesians 5:28 says husbands shld love their wives as their own bodies”. The same Bible that is against divorce says in 1 corinthians 7:15 that if an unbeliever departs, (from marriage) let him depart” then goes further to say that “a believing man or woman is not bound in such circumstances, God has called us to live in peace” if your partner physically abuse you, he has departed from the marriage vows, pls walk away, he doesn’t fear God and if he doesn’t fear God, he is capable of doing the worse to you. I repeat “Your purpose is bigger”, we need you in the world, dont let the devil cut your life short. pray pray pray ??? RIP Ronke shonde? #notodomesticviolence ? ❤❤❤

However, Nigerians got the shock of their lives about two weeks ago when Tee Billz went on his Instagram page to rant and tell tales of his wife’s alleged infidelity among other things.
In retaliation, Tiwa Savage granted a no-hold-barred interview where she claimed that her husband was not only a cheat but was an irresponsible man who stole from her.
Although other entertainers have pleaded with both parties to let peace reign for the sake of their son, Jamil, Tiwa has made it known that the marriage is over.
A nine-year-old girl who was among the 65 young girls rescued by the troops from Sambisa forest has embarked on hunger strike, saying she wants to go back to Sambisa forest to meet her Boko Haram husband.

Nollywood actress, Ruth Eze became a popular face in the movie industry not too long ago and she hasn’t been doing badly so far.
However, when she was credited to have said in an interview that actress, Genevieve Nnaji, makes her “wet”, Ruth automatically was tagged a les-bian.
But the actress, who has denied saying such in the interview, claims she meant Genevieve is her role model who she admires greatly. Sadly, the les-bian saga has crashed her 4-year old relationship.
“I am not a les-bian and I can never be a les-bian. My mother is a devout Christian and she is an evangelist. I can never be a les-bian. I lost a four-year old relationship because of that interview.
I never said that; all I said in the interview was that I love Genny very much and I still love her till date.
I don’t care about what anybody says. I don’t judge anyone whether they are a les-bian or not. It is between you and God because the bible says we should not judge.”
Ruth said her ex didn’t believe her side of the story even when she tried to explain to him what happened.
“If you are my boyfriend and you cannot stand by me in times of little trouble, what would happen when a big thing comes? What if it was published later in my career that I was caught in bed with a man and the story turned out to be false eventually? It means he would leave me and my kids when I get married to him.
Ruth however admitted that the man she dated for four years wasn’t so comfortable with her outings.
“He didn’t really have so much issue with my job but whenever I went for a red carpet event and stayed late, he wouldn’t like it. Whenever he was in the country and I stayed out late, he wouldn’t like it. He is based in London. He had issues with anything that kept me out late at night…”
Ruth has not ruled out love as she said she is still looking for that man that would capture her heart and love her for who she is.
“God is going to give me that person that would bear everything with me. I am single. I just want a cool and responsible guy. Someone that is not loud and must be God fearing.
“When it is tough, it is getting better; that is how my mother trained me. It is my career and it is something I love. Anything in life that is going to be good and great comes with a lot of sacrifice,” she said.
