“It is the first-time the brand will be leading a walk of this magnitude and we are in awe at the level of turn out and participation by not only the Youth corps members, also the youth corps officials and government office representatives. The aim is to enter neighbourhoods and aggressively comb communities to educate the public on the dangers associated with open defecation and unhealthy toilet hygiene practice” he said.

“Currently, there are over 2,000 Toilet Rescue volunteers from the NYSC, and we will be embarking on our first batch of projects in Lagos across Local Governments nominated by the corps members” he stated.

Corp members – Toilet Rescue Volunteers and other stakeholders made stops at interval to lecture residents, share pamphlets while attending to questions from curious onlookers on the importance and methods to sustaining personal, family and environmental hygiene in the toilets using the brand.

Emem Isong, wife of popular Akwa Ibom-based pastor, Ab Isong, has averred that some pastor’s wives are insecure about beautiful, well-endowed single ladies in their church.

According to Mrs. Isong, who made this assertion in a Facebook post on Thursday, June 23, such women have low self-esteem and are typically intimidated by the presence of a well-endowed, attractive single lady in their congregation.

“Some pastors’ wives have low self esteem. They can’t stand the presence of a well endowed beautiful single lady in church. They always pour their frustrations on them.” She wrote on Facebook.

A while ago, the Nigerian clergyman advised singles to stop waiting for ready-made spouses but rather get married and build the life of their dreams with their partner.

The Akwa Ibom-based preacher gave this advice in a Facebook post while sharing before and after photos of himself and his wife.

He shared a photo showing him and his wife in 2010 when they got married and another showing how far they have come.

“Some people are still struggling to find who to marry because they lack the ability to build and the patience to wait. When a man wants to build a house, he’ll first get the land and then proceeds to have the building in his head interpreted via drawing and gradually work begins and then months or years later, an amazing masterpiece is erected to the admiration of everyone.

“Don’t forget that place was once an empty space. Stop looking for a ready-made spouse! Majorly there’s nothing like the husband or wife of my dream. Stop! let’s rewind this tape. You said the husband or wife of your dream abi?

This is what it means, take a decision, marry and then turn your spouse to the model you saw in your dream. The grass is greener on the other side na person water am. The picture on the left is us as raw materials taken in 2010 and the picture on the right is our recently captured picture of the future we saw in 2010, do you understand?” He wrote in part.

Daniel Etim-Effiong's wife, Toyosi reveals

Media personality, Toyosi Etim-Effiong has revealed that she gets jealous whenever she watches her husband, actor Daniel Etim-Effiong, kiss another woman in a movie.

Toyosi made this revelation in a recent chat with actress, Stephanie Coker, on her podcast – Me, Her & Everything Else.

The mother of two recounted a time when she watched her husband kiss an actress in a movie and she felt jealous because she could sense chemistry between them.

According to her, she called her husband immediately to ask if he felt anything sensual while kissing the actress but he waved it off as nothing.

Toyosi however noted that it’s bearable because the line of communication between them is always open and she can talk to her husband about any odd feeling she has.

When asked about how she copes with the women crushing on her husband, Toyosi said she empathizes with them because she knows how it feels to crush on someone that’s unattainable.

She however chipped in a quick prayer to cover their marriage with the blood of Jesus.

Speaking further, she said she has gotten used to the attention her husband gets whenever they go out together and she has come to understand that it’s part of the showbiz world.

Popular Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu better known as Burna Boy, has averred that a lot of people don’t like seeing him happy.

The self-acclaimed African Giant stated this in a video shared on social media following the club-shooting saga.

It would be recalled that the singer was accused of ordering his men to shoot a married woman, Briella’s husband at Cubana club in Lagos on Wednesday, June 8, because she allegedly turned down his advances.

The incident sparked outrage on social media and netizens lambasted the singer for being unruly and being unable to handle rejection.

However, he has not come out to confirm or deny the allegation till date.

In a seeming reaction to the controversy, Burna Boy who was filmed dining in a restaurant, said people don’t like it whenever they see him happy and boisterous.

He however stated that God who is the author and finisher of his faith is bigger than all his haters.

A while ago, Nigerian disc jockey, DJ Obi, has spoken on the events that took place between superstar singer Burna Boy and a married lady at a club in Lagos.

He has opined that the married lady was lying and pointed out loopholes in her account.

Speaking further, he noted that Burna Boy’s security team are highly trained and would have shot only if there was a threat to the singer’s life.

“The biggest lie of 2022 is when I heard that Burna Boy tried to talk to another man’s woman. That was where that whole story lost me. There is no woman born of a woman that has that privilege. And not even once but three times?! Fat lie”, he wrote in part.

A scary incident occurred at the World championships in Budapest on Wednesday, June 22, when American artistic swimmer, Anita Alvarez, collapsed inside the pool.

Alvarez was on the verge of drowning after fainting inside the pool and had to be rescued by her coach, Andrea Fuentes – a four-time Olympic medalist in synchronized swimming.

Without taking a thought, Fuentes dived into the pool after seeing Alvarez sink to the bottom of the pool at the end of her performance.

She carried Alvarez to the top and performed CPR on her before she was given medical attention by paramedics and taken away on a stretcher.

According to reports, this is the second time Alvarez is losing consciousness inside a pool as Fuentes also rescued her during an Olympic qualification event last year.

Speaking on the incident that could have gone worse that it did, Fuentes on Wednesday, June 22, said,

“Anita is much better, she is already at her best. It was a good scare, to be honest.

“I jumped into the water again because I saw that no one, no lifeguard, was jumping in. I got a little scared because she wasn’t breathing, but now she’s fine. She has to rest.”

Meanwhile, the U.S. Artistic Swimming Instagram page has released a statement confirming that the 25-year-old athlete is better now.

A video from the protest is currently making rounds online and in it, one of the students could be heard saying they don’t have a science laboratory or seats in their classrooms.

Her words,

“Science class we don’t even have a lab. Science class we have never taken practical .

See Biology, Physics, Chemistry, no lab. No seat. You will be standing. How would you even listen to the lectures that they are teaching. You will not even understand even one thing.”

In a new development reported on Thursday, June 23, six students of the school have been summarily expelled because of the protest.

Meanwhile, the state government has not said a word about the incident.

A content creator, Alicia McCarvell, has responded to criticisms of her relationship online after trolls claimed she doesn’t deserve her husband because she is fat.

Alicia McCarvell and her husband became an internet sensation after an adorable love-up video of them was shared online. In no time, the video went viral and has garnered over 22 million views since it was shared online.

The transition video showed the couple standing in front of a mirror in their towels before getting dressed to attend a wedding together.

Although many of the comments that followed the video were positive, it didn’t stop trolls from making snide comments about the couple. McCarvell said she got comments from people telling her that she doesn’t suit her husband’s “beauty standard” because of the difference in their sizes.

She went on to narrate how a woman recently messaged her husband, Scott, and told him he should be with somebody who looks like her instead of his wife.

Addressing her critics in a video she shared online, she said,

“My video went viral, and I know we all know why. It’s because by beauty standards we don’t make sense. The world looks at us and immediately values Scott more than me. They say things like ‘oh, she must not have been fat when they met or oh, she’s got to be rich. Or they try to decrease his side of the equation by saying he must be gay, or he fetishes fat women.”

She noted that her body’s conformity to conventional beauty standards is “not on the top of his list” when it comes to her husband’ values.

In her word,
“He values my humour, my commitment and my love and my caring heart. None of these things that he values change if my body changes.”
