Destiny Enenche, the daughter of popular clergyman Paul Enenche, has taken to social media to address her critics.
In a lengthy Facebook post centered around beauty, Destiny told those she describes as ‘holier than thou, assistant Jesus, and convenient Christian’ to first remove the log in their eye before criticizing her.
She further asserted that her beauty isn’t measured by society’s standards but by God’s standards.
“Dear Miss Holier than thou, Assistant Jesus and Convenient Christian; is that a log in your eye while you criticize the speck in mine? You quote scripture on one post then make derogatory comments on the next, forgetting what the bible you quoted the previous day says.
“Everyone knows the scripture “I am fearfully and wonderfully made” but sometimes we forget what that full verse says. “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Marvellous are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well.” Psalm 139:14 KJV. Another translation says “I thank you, God, for making me so mysteriously complex! Everything you do is marvelously breathtaking. It simply amazes me to think about it! How thoroughly you know me, Lord!” Psalms 139:14 TPT.
“Beauty as they say is in the eye of the beholder. It is not compulsory to find every person or their picture beautiful but then to go as far as insults is basically you saying, “God this work you made is not marvellous”… Ahhh nawa ooo. Don’t you fear God?
“If you’re jealous, just use your chest and say so and then ask God to help you because an attempt to belittle someone or make them feel low will never take you up, it would only show a negative side of you and any supposed outer beauty you might have, automatically decreases.
“You might not like my long face, my fivehead, my blade jawline, my dark skin, etc and that is okay. Nobody is forcing you to like it. Taste is subjective after all. My beauty isn’t measured by society’s standards of beauty but by God’s standard. I am seated in Heavenly places so to try to place myself on society’s standard would be an insult. Vultures cannot fly at the same height as Eagles fly. I may be in this world but I am not of this world. I know who I am in Christ and I hope you do too.
“The same way I can’t police what you write online is the same way you can’t police what I post. As my father said during a message “If the message is too hot for you, you can actually carry your bag and go.” She wrote.

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion on social media over whether Indomie noodles are safe for consumption. While this news is coming from Malaysia and Taiwan, we cannot ignore Nigeria because of the global village concept.
A recent statement issued by Malaysian and Taiwanese health officials claiming to have detected ethylene oxide, a compound in Indomie’s “Special Chicken” flavor noodles produced by Indofoods, has jolted the global noodles giant into a series of investigations to ascertain the health officials’ claim.
The Malaysian Ministry of Health (MOH) immediately issued a directive to hold, test, and release the Indomie Special Chicken Flavour instant noodles products from Malaysia at all entry points, and urged the manufacturer to voluntarily recall the affected products from Malaysian and Taiwanese markets.
Despite the fact that this incident occurred in faraway Asian countries, it has raised a number of concerns among Indomie Instant Noodles consumers worldwide, particularly in Nigeria, which is one of the world’s largest consumers of noodles.
NAFDAC employs stringent food safety measures in regulating noodle production in Nigeria.
In response to reports of detections in Malaysia and Taiwan, NAFDAC Director-General Professor Mojisola Adeyeye stated, “Instant noodles is on the importation prohibition list of the Federal Government. This variant or flavour is not registered by the agency, nor is it produced locally here, and has been banned from importation to Nigeria many years ago.”
“However, NAFDAC is working to ensure that the product does not come into Nigeria. The NAFDAC Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (FSAN) department has begun a post-marketing surveillance (PMS) investigation, and the Food Lab Services Directorate has also been notified.”
“NAFDAC’s Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Directorate will commence a random sample of Indomie noodles including the seasoning from the production facilities here in Nigeria and the markets to ascertain that the variants of noodles produced and marketed in Nigeria are safe for consumption.” She added.
When the manufacturer of Indomie Instant Noodles in Nigeria, Dufil Prima Foods Plc, was contacted about their position on the ongoing investigation in Malaysia and Taiwan, the Group Public Relations Manager, Tope Ashiwaju, stated that Nigerians have nothing to fear because no such detection has been found in Indomie Instant Noodles produced in Nigeria. He emphasized that Indomie Instant Noodles is manufactured locally in Nigeria using the strictest production techniques, which are regularly audited by government regulatory bodies.
He emphasized that the company has consistently met the standard procedures established by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), the Standards Organization of Nigeria (SON), and the International Standard Organization (ISO), as well as other international standards, and that it is highly rated as a healthy nutritious meal for the entire family. He emphasized that Dufil is committed to always providing the highest quality Indomie noodles to its customers.
The outcome of the random sample testing by NAFDAC which will commence today will go a long way in assuring Nigerians that their favourite Indomie Instant Noodle is truly safe for consumption.
Popular Nigerian singer, Zlatan, has revealed that he used the car he won in a music competition at 19 as a taxi.
He made this revelation in a recent interview with media personality Samuel Eni.
When asked why he used the car for commercial purposes instead of personal use, the “Zanku” star said he did that because he couldn’t foot his bills or maintain the car.

“I qualified among the two to go represent my school in the grand finale [of a music competition]. So, like tactically out of 140 candidates. With just two tracks, I just started rapping.
“I know nothing about music. I just started writing and downloading beats online. And out of 140 people, I don’t know how God did it, I won a brand new car when I was 19 years old.
My first semester in school. From there, I just sat down and said to myself, if I can win a brand new car, seems God is telling me something. I took it seriously from there.
“After that, it took me another four years after I won the car. I ended up using the car as [a] taxi because I could not maintain the car or maintain the lifestyle. Before, Olamide saw me one day and hit me up on Instagram. He called me up and made a song for me, for free,[and also] came for the video shoot for free. To me, that was like my breakthrough song in 2017.

American rapper, Lil Nas X, made a bold fashion statement at the 2023 Met Gala which held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City on Monday night, May 1.
The rapper, who is no stranger to making huge statements with his outfits, arrived on the red carpet wearing only a G-string and body jewels covering his modesty.
His body was completely covered in metallic paint, silver crystals, and pearls, and his face was adorned with sparkly stones and beaded whiskers around his lips.

The outfit, designed by Pat McGrath and Dior Men, turned heads at the event and has triggered a lot of reactions on social media.
Lil Nas, an openly gay rapper, has often courted controversy with his behaviour and this latest stunt that has him wearing a baby bump and claiming to go through the same pain pregnant women go through might be where he has to draw the line.

This is blatantly misogynistic, insulting to women, and disgusting.
Pregnancy and childbirth are not a joke.
Every year, millions of women die in childbirth or from pregnancy complications.
The lives and struggles of women are not an amusement to weave narratives for giggles.

“Burna’s outfit to the 2023 Met Gala was d!sappointing; His hairstyle was OK but the outfit is a no & he wore the same design as Barry Keoghan. Creativity matters. Tems should’ve incorporated an African print in her outfit too. A style icon doesn’t dress to compete or fit a norm.”
