Big Brother Naija couple, Teddy A and BamBam, have in a recent interview addressed the topic of checking each other’s phones.
During an interview with media personality, Adesola Momoh, the couple responding to the question about checking each other’s phones disclosed that they don’t do that because it would be disrespectful.
BamBam said she would rather not touch Teddy A’s phone than put herself in a situation that could cause a disagreement between them. According to her, she places more value on their conversations and what he tells her.
“Sometimes I just rather avoid situations that could escalate into something serious, and the communion that we have together is way more important,” Bam Bam said
Teddy A, on his part, said he doesn’t check her phone either and they have a mutual understanding on that. According to him, it would be a breach of trust and respect if he goes behind her back to check her phone.
He however stated that it is normal for some kind of ‘conversations’ to be on his wife’s phone.

A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to lament bitterly after her semi-permanent natural pink lips procedure went south.
According to the lady, she was tired of using different products to make her lips pink temporarily so she decided to hop on the ‘natural’ procedure which would last longer.
She said after the procedure, her lips got swollen and doubled in size and this has gotten her worried and scared.
However, she said she has been assured that it would reduce to its normal size eventually.
In her words;
“Guys I decided to go do natural pink lips because I was tired of buying different types of pink lips balm, pink lips scrub and all that.
So I decided to go do something that will last for me and this is what I got. I just pray it comes down soon. Because they said it’s going to come down. I guess that’s the process of me finding beauty.”
A Nigerian evangelist, identified as Gideon Akande, has opined that churches who run schools with expensive tuition are satanic and unbiblical.
He took to his Facebook page to make this assertion. According to him, those churches are creating terrible segregation among its members which is against what the bible teaches.
He further stated that pastors of those churches are not doing God’s work but running a business.
In a lengthy post, he wrote,
“ALL EXPENSIVE CHURCH SCHOOLS ARE SATANIC! All the churches who are building and running schools more expensive than Federal Government’s school in their countries are not doing the work of God, they are derailed, they are doing business, they are unbiblical and they are involving in evil and satanic separations.
So the school that belong to the church, can only admit member “A” who has money to pay for his children but the same church’s school cannot admit member “B” not because his children cannot pass the entrance exam but because he has no money. So only rich members can send their children to their church’s school? This is not Biblical, it is satanic. What is the main purpose of the church of God building academic schools? If the purpose is to create a godly and biblical environment for the students, then it means only the rich members will have their children in godly environment?
So it means that as same members of the church, we are going to the same heaven but our children cannot go to the same school the belong to our same church? What a terrible segregation!
Listen to what the Bible says: “For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in filthy clothes, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, “You sit here in a good place,” and say to the poor man, “You stand there,” or, “Sit here at my footstool: have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?” James 2:2-4.
If the church of God can build schools with church money and then only allows children of members who have more money to come in to learn and disallow the children of the members who do not have enough money, have you not shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? I mean, this is not Government school or private schools, this is church’s school built by church’s money!”

I’m a serious troll. Not to be mean but for jokes. I troll all my friends for fun. I even used to write a blog therantlot.blogspot.com where all I did was rant and troll my mum and siblings and friends and joke around.
Lately I hardly even comment on social issues (except for my single) because I’m experiencing a social disconnect but I’m working on myself lmao. I’m barely on twitter or indulge in social media as much. Maybe it’s old age (Olorun saanu). So pls relax
I was going into the plane with my mum and my baby was in a stroller. The air host at the door (a white man that didn’t know me or my father) was talking into phone. He could barely even see Deja. When we passed he said “hi awwn” in the strangest way. It was funny af to me…”
President Muhammadu Buhari has stated that Nigerians are competitive abroad because of the quality education they’ve acquired before leaving their fatherland.
Buhari stated this during a meeting with the Minister of State Foreign Affairs of the United Arab Emirates, Shaikh Shakboot Alnahyan, while he urged Nigerians in Diaspora to always abide by the rules of their host countries.
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina in a statement titled ‘Nigerians Competitive Both Home And Abroad, President Buhari Tells UAE Minister’, quoted him as saying,
“Nigerians are all over the place, very competitive. And the competitiveness starts from home, where they have acquired good education, gone into businesses, and then take all that abroad.
President Buhari encouraged Nigerians in Diaspora to subject themselves to the rules and standards of the country in which they live either as working class, or doing businesses. He welcomed the offer by UAE to partner with Nigeria in the areas of renewable energy, agriculture, infrastructure logistics, and provision of vaccines to further control the COVID-19 pandemic.
Minister Shakboot Alnahyan said his country “thinks very highly “of President Buhari’s leadership, noting that he was striving to “build a better future for generations to come. He said there were lots of Nigerians in his country, “who add much value,” assuring that the headwinds of the recent past in the relationship “are now behind us. We want to secure, deepen and strengthen the association for the future. We have a lot in common. We may be taking small steps, but they are leading somewhere.
On proposed investments in Nigeria, Alnahyan said it would be a win-win situation, “which would bring hope and opportunities for people in both countries. We want to come and add quality and value. He equally commended the Nigerian government for its robust tackling of violent extremism.”
