“Bcos the fear of Ooni is the beginning of wisdom. I sharply go marry my wife before the guy go see her for road.”

He explained that he tried to switch things up with his style of ruling the people of Ife, but it didn’t work.

“This institution is bigger than me, beyond me. People in this palace are more than 800, they are close to a thousand. There are some people who have been living in this palace for more than 60 years, while some have lived here for more than 80 years old. Some people are over 100 years old in this palace.

If I had my way, I tried to challenge it but it blew in my face but thank God I’m still alive. It’s an institution that is rich in heritage, culture, and tradition.”

In his words,

“If you feel for Davido, don’t feel for only Davido’s child, feel for every Nigerian child that died because they cannot eat or because their parents cannot pay their medical bills. Feel for every human being that loses their life. Stop making a choice of who you extend your humanity towards. Love everybody, feel bad for everybody so we can do something about it.
If na poor man pikin you disconnect yourself from it and feel like it’s none of your business but if it’s a rich child, everyone wants to act as if they care.”

Anthony Joshua reveals

British-Nigerian professional boxer, Anthony Joshua has said he will be taking a short-hiatus from boxing so that he can rest mentally.

This is coming after his back-to-back loss to Ukrainian boxer, Oleksandr Usyk, in August where he lost the bid to win back his world titles.

The former two-time world champion said,

“You saw after my last fight, it tore me apart,’

“I had so much riding on it, for me, the British fans, the undisputed fight, it just really tore me apart. So from a mental capacity, my close ones are telling me: “you should rest mentally”.

“Physically, I’m down to fight. I’m a warrior, I like this game, I like competing. But on a mental aspect, I think people have really seen it means a lot.”

We all want to ask for forgiveness and continue to glorify you, even in our pain. You sincerely need to show Yourself to the parents and protect them from bitterness. Give them a new purpose for living and a way to honour their child’s life. Give them the courage to trust you, to hope again, and to love again. Protect them from living in fear and paranoia. Judging by the things you have blessed us with, we know you are good, and you do good. Protect us from evil people as we give you this tragedy to redeem in Jesus name. Amen!”

Sex workers in Kenyan county now reusing condoms following shortage

Commercial sex workers in Busia town, Kenya, have shared that they wash and reuse the condoms to meet sexual needs of their customers.

One sex worker who spoke to a local television station, stated that the county has been experiencing a shortage of female and male condoms for a while and the few that are available are from the neighbouring country, Uganda.

She told NTV,

“We are pleading with the government to release condoms to Busia because our lives are at risk.”

Other residents also said they risk unplanned pregnancies if the government doesn’t intervene.

Janerose Ambuchi, the Director of Medical Services in Busia county, who said that her office is not aware of the recycling of contraceptives in the area, blamed the short supply of condoms to a decline in international donor funding.

She said,

“It has not come to my desk but if it’s happening it should not be allowed to continue because the integrity of the condom is going to be affected. The second and third use because of lack of condoms will expose this generation to danger.

“The county (Busia) is experiencing an acute shortage of condoms which is not a Busia problem alone. It’s a national problem. This is a donor-funded commodity based on a global fund. At the moment, donor funding has dwindled.”

“My greatest testimony yet” — Lady narrates how her two failed kidneys started working again without dialysis (video)

Lady narrates

A young Nigerian lady has shared the astounding testimony of how she was completely made whole after suffering kidney failure.

The lady, identified as Emediong Uko, in a video posted on her Instagram page, narrated how her two failed kidneys jerked back to life without any dialysis.

According to her, she took ill in October and thought it was malaria or typhoid but upon examination, doctors discovered that her two kidneys were dead. She was given the option to either undergo kidney transplant or lifelong dialysis.

Lady narrates

However, she kept worshipping God in spite of her pain and trusted him to heal her. After spending 23 days at the hospital, she was given a clean bill of health to the surprise of nurses and doctors at the hospital.

Emediong shared videos of her moments in the hospital and gave a detailed narration of how she was healed,

“MORE THAN CONQUERORS ⚔️:

I’m overall grateful for life! 🙏🏽🌤🤍 What I thought was malaria and typhoid spiraled into a myriad of illnesses with the highlight being Kidney Failure on both kidneys. In a matter of 28 days, every horrible illness from high fever, tinnitus & partial hearing loss, internal bleeding, a urinary tract infection, anaemia, fluid accumulation in the lungs and a drastic 20kg weight loss came upon me. When the doctors had pronounced both the kidney tissues dead, they couldn’t even tell me an estimate as to when I’d leave the hospital. They gave me options like transplants and lifelong dialysis to keep me alive for longer than I had.

I asked the Holy Spirit one morning- “are these kidneys really dead like they say?”
And he responded saying “they are only SLEEPING. Speak to them to wake up”.

My friend @victoriamusaa pointed me to Mark 5:41 where Jesus also saw a dead girl and said she was ‘sleeping’. From then the words “talitha koum” (which means “wake up” as Jesus said ) were my anthem. I actually spoke to this kidney like it had the intelligence to wake up- because it does. Not even up to the next day (Friday last week) the doctor tells me she checked again and the tissue wasn’t completely dead. For the next few days the nurses were scared + impressed that I was doing amazing without any need for dialysis. As of Wednesday, I got my clean bill of health that both kidneys had picked back up to normal functioning on their own. When we say “more than conquerors” it’s not just a phrase. It was never a metaphor. When you have the life of God in you, nothing qualifies you as ‘normal’. He makes everything brand new! 🕊

This testimony would not be complete without the gift of men that God gave me. These people in my life gave everything in them to see me through this journey. I love you all!!! 🫶🏼”
