Popular Nigerian singer, Temmie Ovwasa better known as YBNL Princess has slammed Nigerians who make a joke about “Yaba left”.
In series of Twitter rant Temmie stated that people who joke about Yaba left; a popular slang for psychiatric hospitals in Nigeria are making a mockery of people battling any form of mental illness.
In her words,
“Nigerians making jokes about Yaba left is really not the flex you think it is, have you been to the psych ward? Have u ever dealt with losing your mind? I have & it’s not a joke, you are just vile. The worst thing about psychosis is how people treat u, the disgust in their eyes.
“Y’all have a way of convincing yourselves that people deserve terrible fates, you’ll convince yourself that they’re disgusting because they were probably doing drugs but in truth, you are just a deeply unkind person.
“If you’ve dealt with psychosis or any form of mental illness that removes inhibition , You know “The look”.
I’m grateful for my Mother, the only person that has seen me at my most damaged and didn’t give me “The look”.
The rest of the world can go fuck themselves”.
A US-based Nigerian singer, Slizzy, has gifted his fiancée a brand new Mercedes Benz after she accepted to marry him despite his flaws.
The couple, who had their introduction ceremony a week ago, took to their respective Instagram pages to show off the brand new car.
In an earlier post, the lady revealed that she was skeptical about their relationship at the initial stage because she is a nurse, while he is a musician.
She wrote, “I remember how I used to question myself if this would ever work, like how can a nurse be with an artist? What are the odds? @slizzymusic you gave me every reason why what we have is worth it, you showed me parts of you that on one else ever sow. Now you are my world, my everything, my husband. This is just the beginning of great things in our life. I LOVE YOU HUBS”
Sharing photos of the new whip, Slizzy wrote,
“Got my baby a 2020 Mercerdes Benz GLC 300
For Accepting me wit all my Agbero Character Drive go anywhere for the Texas tell dem say U be ODUMA wife ”
Photos of a newborn baby holding his mum’s contraception coil which failed to prevent her from getting pregnant with him, have gone viral on social media.
The story behind the viral photo has been revealed and it isn’t a mystery as might be expected.
It was gathered that the 32-year-old mom, Paula dos Santos Escudero Alvarez, had been using birth control, called an intrauterine device (IUD), for three years.
However, she still fell pregnant which wasn’t supposed to happen because the device works for between five and ten years.
She carried the pregnancy to full term and gave birth to her son, named Bernardo, on July 4 2021, in the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro.
Bernard was born healthy at 32 weeks, weighing just over 3kg (7lbs). He was described as a miracle because his mum’s case is extremely rare.
Immediately after he was born, the doctors removed the coil and placed it in his hand.
Birth photographer, Michelle Oliveira, who took the photos said;
“The IUD was placed in his little hand to represent his arrival.
The baby was born, the IUD was removed straight away, and the doctor placed it in his little hand.”
Evelyn Joshua, widow of late Nigerian clergyman, TB Joshua has shared how she met and married the man of God.
According to her, the founder and lead pastor of the Synagogue, Church Of All Nations proposed to her few minutes after meeting her for the first time.
Evelyn made this revelation in an exclusive interview with The Sun. Read excerpts from the interview below,
My first visit to TB’s house
“It was around 1989. I visited a sister somewhere at Ikotun Egbe Lagos, where the headquarters of the Synagogue Church of All Nations is located at present. And, they were talking about a particular man, a prophet to be precise. It was a kind of a meeting. And, it’s like everybody in that gathering, or at least half of the people in the room, had actually visited him. So, they were saying a lot of good things about him. This one said he prayed for him and things became okay from there. Another said her life was a bend but straightened up when she met him. You know, things like that. I was thrilled. At the end of the whole thing, I called the sister outside and asked whether she could take me to the prophet. I didn’t ask to go there out of curiosity. I actually needed a guide at that point in time.
“I wasn’t at any crossroads, but I desperately needed a guide. I had seen pastors. I worshipped in a church and I had read about prophets in the Bible, though I had not come across any. But at that particular time, I needed a guide, sort of and he fitted the bill snugly. Then I used to worship with the Assemblies of God Church. But back to my story, the sister and I scheduled a date. We got to his place but he was not around. Not to the Synagogue, but his house down in Ikotun Egbe, at Agodo. Unfortunately, we did not meet him at home. But looking back now, I thank God that we didn’t meet him that day because that would have been the end of the story. It would have been because of what he told me the very first day that I set eyes on him. If the sister were there, I would have believed that maybe she had gone behind me to tell him all about me. And, that would have ruined it”.
Second visit and TB’s strange, shocking proposal
“Some months later, I eventually met him when I visited him. That was in 1990. I could remember that day was a public holiday. I remember also that I nearly lost my way because I had never been to the place before except that day I went with the sister. But this time around I went alone. But before I was able to locate the place, it was a bit difficult. When I got into the waiting room, I met two men waiting to see him. Before this time, the idea that I had about the Prophet was that of an old man with white, long beards, and things like that. So, on that day, I was reading a novel that I came with, I don’t remember the title now, when I suddenly saw someone come into the sitting room, pick one or two things and went back. But the shadow of whatever I saw was not that of an old man.
“I didn’t greet him. I didn’t even look at his face. But when he left, I overheard one of the two men telling the other one, ‘that’s him; that’s him.’ I looked up but he was gone. They went into the consulting room before I did. Finally, it came to my turn, and I went in there. We sat opposite each other. And, he was gazing at me. He did that for about a minute and some seconds. I gazed at him, too. Transfixed as I was, I noticed that there was a piece of paper before him. Still looking at me, he wrote on it a Yoruba word “Ejide” (translated, it means twin has come). Lest I forget, I’m a twin.
“For about a minute or so, we sat looking at each other until he wrote my name on that piece of paper. And, then we started talking. He told me a lot of things about myself, the ones I know and the ones I didn’t know. I was shocked. He told me about my family, about my past, my present, and my future. After your secondary school education at that time, you could get a job in a factory or whatever, hoping to be staffed one day. So, after my secondary school education, life was like, today you are in business, tomorrow, you are in a printing press, and so on. I think the last place I worked before I met him was at Nigerian Distilleries in Ota, Ogun State. I was born into a family of seven. We are the fifth in the family, my twin brother and I. But he is late. I was born to the late Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Akabude in the quiet town of Okala Okpuno in Oshimili North Local Government of Delta State.
“I started my primary education at St. Emecheta Primary School, Ezi Town, also in Delta State. Years later, I came to Lagos. That was in 1977 and completed my primary education at Orile Primary School, Oshodi, and, my secondary school at Grammar School, Oshodi. He told me all that. Altogether, we spent about 45 minutes. At the end of the whole thing, he spoke to me in Yoruba and said: “Joo ma binu o. Ma ro pe bi mo se nba gbogbo eniyan ti o ba wa s’odo mi soro ni eleyi o. Mi o ni ale, mi o dee fee ni ale. Sugbon, se oo fe mi? (Please, don’t be annoyed. Don’t think that this is how I talk to everyone that comes to me. I don’t have a concubine, and I don’t want to have a concubine. But can you marry me?).
“It was strange, but that gives us an insight into what the Scripture says that the Spirit testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children, as written in Romans 8:16. When I woke up that morning, I never knew. But something in me said: ‘Go to the Prophet.’ And, when he proposed to me, it was strange. I don’t think I have said yes up till now (laughter) but then, my heart agreed with it instantly. I think that was it. That was how I met him”.
His qualities that won my heart
“Some months later, I asked him why he thought it was right seeing a lady for the first time and going on to propose to her. He said he has seen me four days before that very day. Honestly, I wouldn’t know whether it was through dream or revelation. But at that time a lot of things were going on in my mind concerning him. In the first place, I was expecting to see an elderly man. But I was shocked to see a dashing handsome young man. Like I told you, he wrote my name on the piece of paper before him. That was the first thing that really shocked me. And, the fact that he proposed to me the first time that we met without waiting to know some things about me.
“Interestingly, like him then, I didn’t have friends. As I told you, it was a sister that I visited who took me there in the first place. So, there is no how anybody could have gone to tell him about me. And, when I was going there the second time, she wasn’t there. I went alone. I have told you how I got to know about him. I told you, too, that I didn’t go there out of curiosity. I needed some guidance which I believe I could get from the prophet. That’s why I went.
“You know, life is all about challenges. As a young lady, I knew that God was there. I have a Creator and I know He can guide me into the right path. So, I wouldn’t say business or marriage or whatever drove me to him. I just needed someone to guide me on the right path. I saw an honest and humble man.
I saw a God-fearing man, too. I saw a kind-hearted man, a man of one purpose; a man with a sole aim: to please God at all times, with every other thing being secondary. I think those qualities are what cemented our relationship. I am not sure we courted for long.
The wedding took place the same year, 1990. A few years later, my husband sent me to Ghana and I was able to take some management courses there”.
A Nigerian clergyman, Prophet Ejimadu aka Prophet Seer1, has reacted to the absence of top Nigerian pastors at the funeral of TB Joshua.
It can be recalled that TB Joshua passed away on June 7 and was laid to rest on Friday, July 9th. However, major church General Overseers in Nigeria were noticeably absent at the funeral which held at SCOAN in Lagos.
Reacting to this, Prophet Ejimadu took to Facebook to condemn the pastors for snubbing the burial. According to him, there is no love in Christianity anymore because “the devil is now in charge”.
He wrote
“Prophet TB Joshua was buried today and none of the Major Nigerian General Overseers attended his burial.
But wait for Sunday, they will climb their well decorated altars, wearing the best expensive and designers suits to preach about love.
Let me once again tell you the truth, there’s no love in Christianity, Church is now the official house of hatred and competition.
Don’t allow anyone to stress you with going to church, love has left the church completely. Devil is now incharge.
A woman, identified as Mrs Blessing Odion Amayanevbo, reportedly stabbed her relative in the head for mocking her son.
It was gathered that Mrs Blessing stormed the shop of her relative, Mrs Joy Osagie Amayanevbo, early in the morning after her son reported that the latter mocked him for not gaining admission into the university.
She reportedly carried bottles along and stabbed Mrs Joy on the forehead, leaving her with a deep cut which bled profusely.
According to Mrs Joy’s daughter, Mrs Blessing would have succeeded in killing her mother if not for the timely intervention of policemen who arrested her and rushed the wounded to the hospital.
Mrs Blessing was taken to the police station at Estate gate, Airport Road, but was later released on bail.
However, it is alleged that she was still threatening to do more harm to Mrs Joy.
Last night, a candle light session was held to honor the memory of late DMW crew member, Habeeb Uthman popularly known as Obama.
During the event, Zlatan Ibile paid glowing tribute as he revealed that Obama DMW, who died suddenly on June 29 in a Lagos hospital he drove himself to, looks “hard online” but is a “very sweet person”.
He revealed that when he was still an up-and-coming artist, Obama used to send him money to buy clothes so he can look good for his shows.
Late Nigerian Televangelist, Prophet T.B Joshua, has been laid to rest in his church premises on Friday, July 9.
The ceremony was an elaborate one befitting of the popular cleric. He was laid to rest in a Mausoleum that could easily pass off as a tourist attraction.
The church shared the photos and wrote ;
This is the mausoleum on The SCOAN premises housing Prophet T.B. Joshua’s tomb. Indeed, Prophet T.B. Joshua leaves a legacy of service and sacrifice to God’s Kingdom that is living for generations yet unborn. #TBJoshuaLegacy
The Widow of a deceased politician in Yobe state, Maryam Adamu, has shared heartbreaking details of how her husband was gruesomely murdered by Boko Haram terrorists right in front of her.
In an interview with The Nation, Adamu said her husband was into politics and he was like a delegate in the local government.
She also said the day her husband was gruesomely murdered was the darkest day in her life.
In her words ;
“My husband was a politician. He was like a delegate in the local government. During campaigns, politicians like the chairman or councillors bring food and palliatives for my husband to share with the people here. They bring the items to our house.
I sometimes share the food items and sometimes wrappers with women; it could be sugar, rice or millet and any other supportive package.
My husband will collect them and write down the names of the people that will benefit. We used to do this together. He was a man with a very good heart. He has the interest of the people at heart. He was loving and caring not just to his family but everyone else in the community.” he said
”They will either fish out the men or the young males, kill them or ask them to stay aside and were later taken away.
My husband was killed alongside other ten men, in an attack which was carried out by the Boko Haram people. They killed both young and old, from ages 13 and above. They were all shot dead. They selected and took others away.
My husband was killed right in front of me. I covered him with my wrapper and hijab. They were looking for him when they gathered the people. You know that Boko Haram did not like politicians and my husband was a politician. A very popular one at that time. As they were killing people, one of the Boko Haram came to me and asked where my husband was. I told him, I don’t know. He asked me to stand up, before I could stand, he opened my wrapper and hijab, removed my husband and slaughtered him in my presence. It is such an experience I find very difficult to recall. I still recall that a stray bullet hit a pregnant woman who was sitting just beside me on that fateful day. She was bleeding seriously. I doubt if she survived because there was no medical care.
Media personality, Daddy Freeze, has berated General Overseers of Nigerian Churches for not attending the funeral of the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations SCOAN, Late Prophet T.B. Joshua.
TB Joshua was buried on Friday, July 9 and despite the fact that he was a popular Televangelist, the only notable clergyman who attended his funeral was the chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria CAN, Lagos state chapter, Rt. Rev. S.T.V Adegbite.
In a video shared online, Freeze said that no matter what may have transpired between them when T.B Joshua was alive, they should have had a forgiving heart and attended his funeral.
In his words ;
”Prophet T.B Joshua has been laid to rest. May his soul rest in peace. I worry with the turnout of Christians to this man’s funeral. I worry. If we truly are Christians, every church should have sent a delegation.
I must say I am disappointed whether you like to admit it or not. I am disappointed.
He wondered how someone can die and Christians cannot extend their condolence or commiserate with their families. He pointed out that when some persons died, the same TB Joshua in his lifetime did farewell for them and also commiserated with their families.
”I am disappointed, disappointed in you all. You have not shown a legacy of love. None of you..I tried to monitor. None of you could wear your clothes and fly your private jets and attend the funeral?
If you ask me and you expect me to be honest, I am entirely disappointed in all the big daddies that we have. You people are our daddies. If you behave like this, how are we the children going to behave? If we are fighting, it should be during when someone dies. You people have turned gods of Men. He offended you, so?
You don’t know what you have done…especially our daddies. ”
The governor of Ondo state, Rotimi Akeredolu in his tribute to late clergyman, TB Joshua has testified of some of his benevolent deeds before his passing.
Akeredolu who was present at the funeral ceremony of the SCOAN founder which held in Lagos today, July 9th revealed that late pastor helped in restoring electricity to some parts of Ondo State.
According to him, the Ondo State born cleric paid the electricity bills and bought transformers for four local governments in the state.
In his words,
“When the Northern senatorial district of our state was in darkness, he came to our aide. He paid the electricity bills of four local governments and bought transformers for them because the government could not afford it”.
The governor also disclosed that the late prophet gave him and his wife some money after he emerged victorious in the governorship elections.
“When I won election to be governor of Ondo State, T.B Joshua drove to Ondo State to wish me well and when he was leaving, he put money in my pocket and said, ‘as a governor, you’ll need money to entertain people.
“He also gave me money to give to my wife. I must testify openly to what T.B Joshua did for me.” He said.
Tekno took quite the tumble, landing on his back after he suffered an accident on Friday, July 9.
The singer who is currently based in the United States shared a up of his accident on his Instagram page with a warning to folks.
Tekno revealed that this was his first time taking on the skate board and from video evidence available, the skate board took him out.
Tje amateur skater who took on his first experience in an outdoor skating rink was enjoying a slow and leisure ride when he hit a wall and was unable to to regain his balance, hence landing flat on his back.
“First time skating! Don’t try this at home,” he captioned the video of himself.
The remains of Late Prophet T.B Joshua, have now been laid to rest in his church premises in Lagos state yesterday, July 9th 2021.
It is said that when beggars die, there are no comets seen; the heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes. The late Prophet T. B. Joshua may not have been a prince, but he was royalty in every ramification, reaching out to the lowly and mighty, as he grew his ministry of love, healing and philanthropy. Gboyega Alaka captures the mood of his faithful and beneficiaries during the week-long burial celebration which climaxed yesterday.
It was a carnival probably never witnessed before in this part of the world, as the late founder of the Synagogue Church of All nations (SCOAN), Prophet T. B. Joshua, was laid to rest in the premises of the massive worship edifice, yesterday. Name it: Republic of Benin, Togo, Ghana, Cote d’ivoire, Malawi, South Africa, Southern Sudan, to the remotest parts of the world like Hawaii, Haiti, Dominican Republic, The Bahamas and as far flung as Australia, Indonesia, South Korea, Argentina, Russia and Jamaica, were all represented.
The carnival played out both within and outside the huge Synagogue Church auditorium. Citizens of various countries proudly waved their national flags and flaunted their cultural identities in their manner of dressing. For those who have been on pilgrimage to Mecca or perhaps Jerusalem, their-in lie the closest comparison.
Even neighbours and all groups of people who benefited from the philanthropist preacher took turns to demonstrate their appreciation, some carrying banners with his picture and message of appreciation and drumming and dancing. For them, it was celebration of a life well-spent
Governor Rotimi Akeredolu probably captured it most succinctly, when he described the scenario at his funeral yesterday just before he was interred, as the greatest congregation of world citizens in one place.
“I am not too sure we have had the world congregate in this number on account of any one man. Probably that of Nelson n Mandela, but the world is even more represented here than when Nelson Mandela was buried. Indeed he was and is being globally acknowledged today.”
He cited the example of the Argentinean priest, Bishop Williamson from The Bahamas who officiated before he mounted the stage, President of the Economic Centre for Peace in the world all the way from Isreal, Ayoub Karo and several others from all over the world and concluded that “though he was from Arigidi Akoko in Ondo State, Nigeria, the late Prophet T. B. Joshua was a global citizen.”
It is for this reason that the governor said he pleaded with the paramount ruler of Joshua’s hometown, who for minutes, appealed to him to help prevail on the family and church to bury the remains of the prophet in his home-town, to which he told His majesty that the matter was beyond him, even as a governor.
Extolling the virtues of the late Man of God, Akeredolu said, “He contributed greatly in emancipating the downtrodden, widows, orphans and special people. He touched their lives economically and spiritually.”
The governor however stirred a thunderous applause from the global audience, when he said the late Man of God not only showed love to the less-privileged but also to the privileged, proceeding to share his personal experience.
“Even those of us who are privileged also benefited from his love. I can testify personally to the good things I benefitted from him. When I won election to be governor of Ondo state, Prophet T. B. Joshua drove all the way to my hometown in Owoh to congratulate me.
“He said he had come to wish me well, prayed for me; and when he was leaving, he put something in my pocket. I won’t tell you how much he put in my pocket but it was a great thing he put in my pocket. He said, ‘As governor, you will need to entertain people, take.’ I’m privileged, so it is not only the privileged he extended his generosity to.
“Not only that, my wife was not around, but he said ‘she would also need to entertain people, give this to her.’
The governor finished off the story with a funny line: “I can tell you, I delivered it, you can ask her.”, drawing a roaring laughter and applause from the well entertained audience.
That account, he said, underlined another reason why he had to be present at his burial, aside from being governor of his home state. ‘I owe him,’ he said.
He went further to speak about his numerous scholarships to students, youth empowerment, settling electricity bills owed by four local governments, buying them transformers and ensuring that they are connected to the national grid.
He also talked about his support for the police and even Amotekun, the Southwest security outfit.
“As I speak with you, Arigidi Akoko where he is from and Ondo State people will not forget his goodies which he brings to them every year.
“He was not born with silver spoon, but from what I heard from his pears, he was a special child. … He was one who would tell a player ‘don’t go and play because you can break your leg;’ and if such kid proceeds to play, he would indeed come back with a broken leg. So he is special. “
Akeredolu was not alone in such testimonies. Several top dignitaries and celebrities, including former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani Kayode, civil liberties activist and former Edo State Attorney-General, Osagie Obayuwana, Aare Ona kakanfo of Yorubaland, Gani Adams, who is also from Joshua’s hometown, King Mswati Gomani from Malawi, representatives of former president of Ghana, John Mahama, Ovation Chairman, Dele Momodu, crossover Nollywood actor, Femi Branch, Ojo Arowosafe popularly known as Fadeyi Oloro, Jumoke George, Ronke ‘Oshodi Oke’ Ojo.
Aside himself, a large contingent of Ondo State government, including the deputy governor were also present.
Fani-Kayode at the All-day tribute on Tuesday, spoke about how the man of God reached out to him on phone while he was in incarceration, praying for him, offering him words of encouragement and prophesying that he would be released in three days. Indeed he was released three days after that phone conversation.
Obayuwana spoke about how he also supported the civil rights movement, stating that the group was actually there to pay their last respect to a man who reached out to the common man.
Speaking at the funeral, Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, represented by his Commissioner for Home Affairs, Anofi Elegushi said “his demise will certainly be remembered in the chronicles of the Synagogue Church of All Nations… We celebrate the life of this global evangelist who fought the good fight of faith, a visionary prophet and a General of God’s army.
He went further to say that “His love for God and humanity made the difference. He lived with the common man but became an uncommon minister. He was a man with humble beginnings who never forgot his roots. Even after he became a renowned preacher and global evangelist, he still identified with the poor, fed the widows and played the role of a father to the orphans.”
Wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Olori Naomi Silekunola representing His Majesty brought the audience ‘greetings from the throne of Oduduwa’.
She said, “It is my prayer, standing here to commiserate with the family that the lesson his life has taught us will also bring out the good seeds in every one of us.
“We will keep talking about him. It’s a privilege to have come from Ondo State, same as this great man. He’s a true son of the soil.
He was a true reflection of the life Christ led–Nollywood stars
Nollywood actor, Femi Branch, leading three other actors, Ojo Arowosafe (Fadeyi Oloro), Jumoke George and Ronke Oshodi Oke, said they had no choice but to be present to pay their last respect.
Said Branch: “The Bible said Jesus Christ who is the template of Christianity went about doing good and healing those who were sick. How many of those who are labelling and demonising him did any of such? Rather they were buying mansions, wearing designer outfits and building universities their church members could not attend.”
He went on to say that though he never benefited from him directly, he could not deny the generosity he had seen and heard the late prophet exhibit.
Ojo Arowosafe, who was almost in tears, spoke of a relationship that dates back over 30 years and how he once lived with Joshua, who was his boss, Jimoh Aliu’s friend in Ikare, Ondo State.
“Because we look alike, many would even see me, as his popularity grew, and call me T. B Joshua. Even when he moved to the first sight of his church, I used to visit him; even in this Synagogue, and he would always pray for my success.”
As for Jumoke George, who said she, along with some of her colleagues, saw Joshua the very night he passed on, “If I don’t come and pay my last respect, I would not forgive myself. What pained me was that I saw the prophet the very last day he exited this world. It was Sokoti who called me, ‘Jummy, they said the prophet we went to visit yesterday is dead.’
“My first thought was, ‘Is this a kind of expensive joke?’ However, when the reality dawned on me, I was shattered and completely broken. But for the understanding of the producers on the set I had gone to Lekki, I would have flopped.”
A Nigerian man, Ekene and his wife have welcomed a set of twins after nine years of waiting.
Facebook user, PJ Sunday, shared photos from the children’s dedication held on Sunday, July 4.

A yet-to-be identified group recently stormed the Ministry of Justice and Information in Abuja to call for the permanent ban of Facebook in Nigeria.
The group submitted a petition to the ministry and staged a protest, to demand for the ban of the popular social media platform.
The group’s spokesperson, who shared the video on FACEBOOK, accused the platform of censoring comments even though they are making millions from the country. He also alleged that his reach on the platform has been reduced.
According to him, Facebook is a threat to Nigeria’s democracy and should not be permitted to operate in the country.
He further appealed to the Federal Government to speak to them “in a language they understand”.

Her post on Facebook reads ;
We Side Chicks Association of Nigeria (SCAN), an umbrella organization of unmarried ladies (girlfriends, mistresses, concubines, baby-mamas etc) who are amorously and financially attached to married men wish to state that: Our attention has been drawn to the trending tragic news of a young lady alleged to have murdered her rich CEO Man friend. We hereby state categorically that the said young lady is not our member and totally condemn the criminal act which in fact runs contrary to the objectives, interests and principles of our great association.

It was bad enough I was studying so close to home then to have my actual dad with me Every time he was asked a Question he will first introduce me, it was as if the ground should open and swallow me. Then I became the girl whose dad was in her class. This man would leave work and come to class everyday. If I’m a minute late, I’m in trouble. He saw my results before Me, he pays my fees first before his. So many stories to tell, or how he fell sick and couldn’t walk for days, or how he stood by me when I thought I’d be suspended from school. God thank you for my daddy This man is proud of me! And I am proud of him!
But this man gave me privileges, my house was 5 mins away from school and he taught me to drive and gave me my own car! He said I want my daughter to have what I had! God the drama!!!!!!! E remain small he would have been slapping me
I must greet him every morning when I come to class. Mehnn!!!! I hear of people having their parents in their school with them but not the same class. And I did it for 5 years. I kept it in for 5 years!!!!! God I was so angry sometimes
But this final moment made it worth it. You won’t see this but thank you Daddy.
If you’re in my school you’d understand boys couldn’t even talk to me!!!!!! The man was a force to contend with! How did I even do it?
The special treatment I got because of him. His presence gave me grace. Daddy and daughter are barristers!!!DADDY!
And should I mention that it’s a private uni for the fees were over the roof. Paying over 1m twice and I never owed a dime!!!!! I never lacked a thing. He never made me feel the pressure. God I have no words to thank you.
Nigerian award-winning gospel artiste and music minister, Afy Douglas, has criticized those who wear nose rings, waist beads, multiple ear piercings and other adornments.
According to the Gospel Artiste, said such female adornment represent rebellion, witchcraft, unnatural sexual orientation.
His Facebook post reads ;
“On nose rings, waist beads, multiple ear piercings and other adornments… It is rather not complementary that Teachers of the Bible still respond to issues (big or small) with a traditional wave of hand. We have become lazy from preaching and teaching from other people’s messages rather than personal study and research,” he wrote.
I am personally turned off when I see such adornments because I grew up with the notion and assumptions of what they represent: Rebellion, Witchcraft, unnatural sexual orientation…
Will that stop me from taking an objective and spiritual look at it when it is raised? Will I wave it off because of a traditional, non scripture supported mindset even when surrounded by people who need me to make clarity because of God’s appointment on my life?
Why do we still shy away from conversations that have become the biggest issues in our counseling rooms and behind the scenes?
Why do we like mystery like this? Why do we try so hard to repair veils that tore when Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice?
If you are not equipped to speak, by all means refrain. Don’t jump into a public discourse with a hard stance you cannot defend, then resort to insults, curses and abuses when superior argument is made. It gives you off as illiterate and limited in intellectual expression. I know spiritual is superior to intelligent. Lol.
It is a poor representation of the Christ, His Apostles and His body.
You are afraid people will become too liberal and freewilled… Abi you are afraid people will begin to ask too many questions about everything. Hmmmm.
It is too late, the ship already sailed. It is time to wake up and ask the Holy Spirit to take us deeper so we can answer and become answers to the questions of the world.
It is the Truth that sets free NOT something similar to the truth. The call on us is beyond us. Brace up.
PS… This is not directed in support or against anyone but if it picks your heart… By all means, it is yours. I love you.
American rapper, Bia has cleared the air after Nigerians dragged her for claiming she doesn’t know Nigerian A list singers, Davido, Burna Boy and Wizkid.
Bia came under fire by a number of Nigerians on social media for claiming she doesn’t know who Nigerian superstars, Wizkid, Burna Boy and Davido are, during a live session on hip-hop queen, Nicki Minaj‘s Instagram page.
During the live session, Nicki Minaj who was the host had given Bia the options of the International super acts and much to the surprise of many, including Nicki herself, Bia claimed that she knows neither of the three superstars.
This didn’t sit well with Nigerian netizens who took to different social media platforms to drag her to filth, with many claiming they don’t know her either.
Following the backlash, Bia has now taken to Twitter to declare her love for Nigeria and tender an apology as she explained that she’s familiar with Davido, Wizkid and Burna’s songs but doesn’t know what they look like.
In her words,
“I said I don’t know what they all look like doesn’t mean I don’t know their music I didn’t mean to offend anyone #LOVE”.
The Theater Arts and Motion Pictures Practitioners’ Association has suspended Yomi Fabiyi over his recently released movie, “Oko Iyabo”, which many claim trivialized the sexual assault case of his friend, Baba Ijesha.
The association announced Yomi Fabiyi’s suspension on Friday, July 9, in a statement titled, “TAMPAN suspends Yomi Fabiyi indefinitely for gross professional misconducts & unethical practices.”
Reacting to this, Yomi took to his Instagram page to write ;
I am ORIGINALLY ANTP MEMBER, worst case I will renew my membership there.
I have never obtain or sign any form with TAMPAN or joined any GUILD. I was made to pay for registration which I did but no form collected or formal procedure.
The letter is inappropriate, not valid for me as a Filmmaker. Any reaction if necessary will be on the basis of Human Rights Violation if I so wish to seek judicial redress. You don’t loose what you never had.

So, a few days back, TECNO launched its new sub-brand, the PHANTOM X. To give a quick background story, The PHANTOM X is TECNO’s premium device with a 3D borderless curved screen, silk glass and beautiful design and colours. Just like the premise on which the device comes, the brand took a bold and extraordinary step out of their known forte, debuting in the high-end market.
Of course, TECNO had to make a big and impressive statement to herald, not just the device, but their entrance into that tier of the market. And what better way to do that than with an exquisite launch event.
D’banj
For a bold and extraordinary device, the brand rightly invited celebrities who are and have had bold and extraordinary careers, to the launch. D’banj, 2Baba, Bovi, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde, Linda Ikeji, Mercy Johnson, Tobi Bakre, amongst others, were each sent an invite box that contained the device so that they all could experience it first hand before the launch.
Mercy Johnson
The launch held at the Hardrock Café in the cool of the evening on the 1st of July. The ambience and exclusivity of that location went up several notches as TECNO switched things up with elegant deco right from the entrance.
2Baba
Things got even more elegant as our favourite celebrities arrived one after the other. One thing was obvious, they all came to have fun. Each of them stepped into the event with relaxed, open smiles.

There was an impressive orchestra that performed live throughout the event, a beautiful ballet dance presentation, and not to mention the sumptuous cuisine that the celebrities and guests were entertained with.
TECNO really did go all out to set the tone for PHANTOM X right. And the celebrities present at the launch won’t but agree.

An American woman is currently overjoyed as she gets a visa to travel to Nigeria only after one week of application.
According to the lady who is a missionary travelling to Nigeria, getting the visa with ease can only be a miracle, as it took her friends close to one month or more.
In an interview with SaharaReporters she revealed her visa processing cost a total $850 (about N350,000) noting that it was indeed a miracle” the visa got through in one week and without paying the officials kickbacks.
She said,
“It took my friends three and a half weeks to get their Nigerian visas. It can take a while to get. I don’t believe it’s that hard though; this is my second time using this office. They are more pricey, but it’s not that difficult. It’s a simple process.
The first time it was hectic; if you are not providing right documentations, that puts longer delay. God’s done it. The officials didn’t demand money as kickbacks. They have a good relationship with a travel agency.”
My Nigerian visa story this time is; someone went to Washington. The agencies closed. She paid close to $350 but by the time she added travel and computer costs, it was close to $550. My visa came out to $850. That was the total amount spent. The travel agency has a good relationship with Nigeria. I got this Nigerian visa in less than a week. It is a miracle. It showed up at my door. Glory to God”. She added.
