Mixed reactions as mother lays curses on her daughter for marrying without informing her (video)Β 

A heartbroken mother has heaped heavy curses on her daughter for getting married without her consent.

It appears the daughter tied the knot with her lover without informing her mother, and this hurt the mother gravely.

In a viral video that has elicited mixed reactions from netizens, the woman is seen hurling curses at her daughter in Igbo.

Although it’s still unclear why the daughter got married without her mother’s knowledge, the clip has sparked varying reactions from social media users.

While some argued that the daughter was wrong to marry without her mother’s consent and blessing, others berated the mother’s reaction to the situation.

Reacting an Instagram user @gungirl001 wrote, “This curses just proves why she needs to stay away from you πŸ’” Omo!”

@wendy_adamma, “Nothing will happen to her in Jesus name. I guess it’s obvious why she didn’t inform you.”

@v_toria122, “Mother laying a curse on her own daughter shows why she got married without telling u. Any curse from father or mother or because of what they’ve done in the past will not have effect on us ijn”.

@fantasma______, “If her reasons are selfish your curse might work but if her reasons are genuine. Mama leave all this ur curse e no fit work. You can’t expect to be useless to a person all in the name of being a parent and expect them to treat you well when you didn’t treat them well. But if you have treated her well and she did this. You don’t even need to curse her. Automatically she is already cursed. Hold your peace!”

@kimorahherbalshop, “Nothing will happen to that child. What’s the love of a mother? To love and cherish your child irrespective of whatever they do. To guide and protect and support. May I never be this kind of mother.”

High court restrains CBN from extending deadline on use of old naira notes

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has been barred from extending the deadline for the use of obsolete naira notes by a Federal Capital Territory (FCT) high court.

On January 29, the APEX bank extended the deadline for withdrawing obsolete naira notes from circulation until February 10.

Justice Eleojo Enenche, in a judgment delivered on Monday, February 6, in a matter titled FCT/HC/CV/2234/2023, instructed the CBN not to extend the deadline until the outcome of the litigation.

The action named the CBN, President Muhammadu Buhari, and many banks as defendants.

β€œAn order of interim injunction is hereby made restraining the defendants whether by themselves, staff, agents, officers, interfacing banks or whosoever not to suspend, stop, extend, vary or interfere with the extant termination date of use of the old N200, N500, and N1000 bank note being 10th day of February, 2023, pending the hearing and determination of motion on notice,” the court held.

The judge also made an order of interim injunction “directing and mandating the defendants whether by themselves, staff, agents, officers, interfacing banks or whosoever described to comply with, implement and give effect to the currency redesign and restructuring of the old N200, N500, and N1000 bank note on or before the last day of 10th of February, 2023, pending the hearing and determination of motion on notice”.

The court further directed the bank heads, chief executive officers, managing directors and/or alter egos β€œto forthwith show cause as to why they shall not be arrested and prosecuted for the economic and financial sabotage of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by their illegal act of hoarding, withholding, nor paying or disbursing the new N200, N500 and N1000 bank note, being the legal tender of the federal republic of Nigeria to their respective customers, despite supplies of each such currency note by the 2nd and 3rd defendants, thereby leading to the present scarcity of currency notes in circulation”.

The order will be in effect for seven days until the request for notice is considered on February 14.

Banky W reveals how his wife, Adesua Etomi, reacted to his political ambition (video)

Banky W reveals

Nigerian music executive cum politician, Banky W, has revealed how his wife, actress Adesua Etomi, reacted to his decision to venture into politics.

The 41-year-old singer, who will run for the House of Representatives seat for Eti-Osa constituency under the People Democratic Party (PDP) in the upcoming election, shared this on his Instagram page while paying a touching tribute to his wife.

He said when he informed his wife about his ambition, she hated it because of how dirty and dangerous politics is in Nigeria.

 Banky W reveals

In response to her reservation, Banky W stated that if all the good people leave politics to the wicked, it will remain a dirty game.

According to him, Adesua eventually agreed with his decision after much deliberation and prayer, and she has been a huge pillar of support since he began his political career.

He posted a video from their visit to women leaders in Eti-Osa, Lagos, and wrote,

“Susu always hated politics… So when I began talking about the burden I had to run fos office, I’m sure you can imagine how she felt. She said “Banky I know you, and I know your heart… and if you’re given an opportunity, I’m sure you would do a great job and make a difference… BUT politics in Nigeria is dirty and dangerous. And I don’t want anything to soil you or harm you.”

My response was that our politics will always remain dirty and dangerous if the good people always avoid it. If the people who truly care about the state of our country don’t begin to participate in politics then we will never turn things around. We have to move past pointing fingers and complaining…to doing something about it.

So Susu and I did a lot of talking and praying together, and thank God she finally agreed. So I began this journey…one that I would never have been able to withstand, if she didn’t stand with me.

The life of a genuine public servant is tough. And it’s tough on your spouse too. There’s so much required of you… your time, talent and treasure… your sacrifice, tough skin and strength… your faith and finances. This much is certainly true – truly running for office, with the right intentions, is physically, emotionally, financially and spiritually the most draining thing you could ever do.

There’s no way I’d have been able to do this without Susu. So today please take a moment to help me say thank you to Mrs W. My friend and lover. My personal person and purpose partner.

Thank you Shuga. Thank you for everything. I love you, and I’m grateful to God for you.

– B.W.

PS: the video us a highlight reel of when we met with the women leaders of Eti-Osa. Truly a beautiful day.”

“I haven’t spoken to my father in 6 years” – Nigerian lady reveals years after losing mother to domestic violence (video)

A Nigerian woman has tearfully narrated how her mother died as a result of domestic violence at the hands of her father.

She shared her heartbreaking story during a service at Harvesters Church, Lagos, recently.

She said she watched her father physically assault her mother on multiple occasions, resulting in a brain tumor that eventually killed her.

According to her, the experience has made it difficult for her to forgive her father, and she hasn’t spoken to him in six years.

She further disclosed that she now despises men and the idea of marriage because she had a bad experience with her father.

Her words:

β€œAbout my father, I grew up in a broken home basically and I kinda grew up with the fact that getting married is trash because I grew up with a father that is actually a domestic violent person.

β€œThen, I lost my mum to it. She had a brain tumour from too much hitting. For close to 6 years now I have been in denial about the fact that it didn’t hurt me and I didn’t forgive him for close to four years.

β€œI noticed that while I was battling with forgiving him I was travelling at work my work wasn’t moving properly. Like I would work and I won’t be able to receive what I work for and I didn’t know that that was what was happening.

β€œSo one of these days I was watching a prayer and there was a prayer that said we had to let go. It has affected my dating life because I stay away from the gender honestly. I think I have a friend somewhere here. She could say it I’m always like I don’t want to talk about them.

β€œMy friends are talking about marriage as I’m like β€œna una wan marry oh. Me e no dey my top 10 list”. I do that, I still do it. I’m sure they’re watching me live right now and they’re saying thank God she’s talking about it finally.

β€œI was finally able to forgive him but I have not been able to communicate with him. I haven’t had the courage to pick up my phone and call him, like I’ve not spoken to him in 6 years. I try whenever I call him it rings once he picks up the phone I end the call.”

“Why I was banned from posting my children” – Dancer, Korra Obidi opens up (Video)

Popular Nigerian dancer, Korra Obidi, has finally revealed Β why she and her ex-husband, Justin Dean were banned from posting their children, June and Athena on social media.

Recall that a court in California, United States of America, recently barred the estranged couple from posting visuals of their children on social media.

In a court document dated January 19, 2022, the former couple, who are parents to June Dean and Athena Dean, were forbidden from posting videos, photos, or live-streams of their children or any content that has their children in it on social media until further notice.

“Neither party may post any videos, photos or live-stream the minor children on any social media platform nor allow the minor children to appear in any picture, video or live-stream posted to any social media platform without further Court Order. Neither party may take video, photos or live stream any interaction between the parties in this matter until further Court Order.” The court order read in part.”

However, Korra finally revealed the reason for the court injunction after a fan asked if Athena had started walking.

Replying to the fan, Korra said some people called child protective services several times from different parts of the world to complain against her whenever she posts her children.

She added that until her children reach the age of consent, no information about them will be shared online again.

In her words,

β€œIs Athena walking yet? You will never know, you will never know if she’s walking, you will never see her again because some of you were foolish enough to be calling from the UK calling child services 50 times.

β€œNow they have blocked you, you can’t see them anymore how does it feel to be a fool? You can’t see them anymore, they are gone. Out of the media eyes period.”

A viral video has captured the quite dramatic moment a lady turned down her boyfriend’s marriage proposal in church.

In the clip, the lady who just turned a new age was seen carrying a birthday cake while being flanked by some church members who had gathered to celebrate her, when her man decided to seize the moment to ask for her hand in marriage.

As she swooned over her birthday cake, her boyfriend suddenly went on one knee, holding up a ring, and popped the question in the presence of other church members.

However, while excited onlookers were chanting “say yes,” the lady who apparently was not having it forced her boyfriend to get up because he was embarrassing her.

Despite the onlookers’ cheer and her man’s repeated requests to accept his proposal, the lady kept saying she had warned him against a public proposal.

“I told you I don’t want this, what’s the meaning of this?, why are you embarrassing me,” she said as she hit him multiple times before throwing the birthday cake at him.

3 things I heard in church today
1.) If the Bible were to be written again with my narrative in it, what would I be known for? I will strive to ensure that my identity is God πŸ₯ΊπŸ™πŸΏ. May I never stop chasing after you Abba. No matter how far you take me 😒
2.) Vote for a leader with the compassion for the weak and vulnerable. Enough said!
3.)There is a grace for provision for God’s people in this season of scarcity. God’s servant prophecied it over us and God will honour His word as our Jehovah Jireh.

I feel like my life has been heavily impacted today πŸ’₯”
