“If GRACE is a person, it is Obinna Iyiegbu❤️ I’m still trying to figure out what happened last weekend…but all I can see is GRACE!!!
My brother, no be juju.no be crime. It’s just GRACE! The man is grace personified.

Comic Nollywood actor, Dike Osinachi better know as Apama, jokingly shared his doubt of being the true father of his daughter, Zim Audrey.
The actor, on Wednesday, shared a video of the moment he placed a plate of rice and a sum of N50,000 in front of his daughter and asked her to pick between the two choices.
The toddler who was asked to choose between the two items surprisingly stretched out her hand and made for the N50,000 cash placed before her.
In reaction, Apama is heard in the video asking her to think well about it before making her decision but the little girl insisted on taking the cash.
Sharing the video, he wrote; “I have seen the love of money in you. This is not my blood cos I don’t like money too much”.
The University of Benin has debunked reports that’s been making rounds on the internet that a recent graduate who wore a t-shirt that has the inscription, aggressive malpractice brought me this far has been asked to rewrite her exams from 200 level.
The lady identified as Peace Ufuoma went viral on social media earlier this month when she wore the controversial t-shirt after her final exam.
The varsity then set up a panel on July 13 to investigate Ufuoma for alleged malpractice. The committee was given a week to submit its report to the Microbiology Head of Department.
Reports then started making rounds on Wednesday, July 21, that the committee has concluded that Ufuoma rewrites all her exams from 200 level.
But in a new development, the spokesperson for the University of Benin, Benedicta Adeola Ehanire, has stated that there is no report yet from the panel set up to investigate Peace Ufuoma, who is under probe for alleged exam malpractice.
Ehanire told SaharaReporters,
“The current report online is fake. The University is following due process; panels have been set up to investigate her claims and the panels are yet to submit their report to the management who will consider the report.
“It is not something as straightforward as people are portraying it to be. The University is following due process.”
A total of three Nigerians lost their lives in the French southern city of Marseille this past Saturday when a fire broke out in a public housing building where they were squatting.
The victims, reported to be aged 20 to 30, jumped to their death from the windows of the 10-storey building, in an attempt to escape the burning flames.
AFP news agency reports that a two-year-old and an adult were also seriously hurt in the blaze inside the ten-floor building, Marseille public prosecutor, Dominique Laurens, said.
The child was very seriously burned, while nine other people reportedly sustained less serious injuries
Speaking during a press briefing, Laurens said the fire spread quickly through the technical shafts, but did not reach the apartments which are “free of smoke penetration,” suggesting the blaze was started deliberately.
“The existence of two fires, one on the sixth floor, the other in the stairwell” prompted investigators to launch a criminal investigation,” the public prosecutor added.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian community of Marseille accused drug dealers of causing the tragedy.
“The dealers terrify us. They have guns. They prevent us from sleeping,” Azeke Endurance, 30, told AFP.
In related news, the billionaire businessman replied those saying he is into money rituals.
According to the Businessman, what people see today are results of consistent hardwork.
In his interview with BBC Pidgin, he said ;
Miracle no dey give money because that pastor needs the money more. Native doctor no fit give money because his children are the ones who fetch water from the stream. How can he give you what he doesn’t have? Work hard. Work hard.
As for those asking him to “cut soap” for them, he told them to work hard and be consistent.
“Cut soap” is slang used to ask a successful person to give you a bit of what they are using that makes them successful. It originates from the claims that some young fraudsters visit ritualists who give them soap to bathe with for optimal success.”
“If you are in your 20s, work now. I am 46 years. I have done my first half. I don’t know why someone who is just 20 years will say he has not made it when he still has 50 years 60 years ahead.”
“There is no soap to cut for anybody, there is no soap anywhere, work, pray, be good, make your own soap.”
Reality stars, Khafi Kareem and Gedoni Ekpata are expecting their first child.
The couple, who met when they took part in the 2019 edition of Big Brother Naija, announced the good news today, July 21.
The happy couple shared pictures of the baby bump via their respective Instagram accounts.
Khafi wrote ;
According to some of you here, I have been pregnant for the past two years.😁 I’m glad to say your predictions have finally come true! I couldn’t be happier.😇#BabyKhadoni2021 👶🏽🥳
Gedoni on his part, wrote ;

According to Victor who is the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on New Media, anyone who supports the display of wealth at Oba, Anambra state during Obi Cubana’s mother’s burial has no right to complain about Nigeria.

He made this statement in a video that has gone viral on social media. According to him, he doesn’t believe sin exists to those who believe in the finished work of Jesus Christ because he has destroyed sin.
He added that those abstaining from sex before marriage are “holding themselves for nothing” because it has nothing to do with holiness, righteousness or purity.
Stressing that he believes in hyper-grace, Pastor Jesukale said, “sex, whether it is before marriage, after marriage or during marriage is no longer a sin.”

In a post she shared on her Instastory, Shade had stated that the act of shaming women because of the men they’ve slept with is already old and lame.
According to her, women shouldn’t be ashamed of their body count, instead they should hold their head high because sex is not a crime and they are not Chidinma Ojukwu who killed her “sugar daddy”, Usifo Ataga.
She wrote,
“You see that thing when you try to shame a woman by saying You wey fck so so and so
Yeah it’s old
Ladies there’s no shame in how many people you have slept with
Sex-shaming especially when done to women is older than Methuselah
Ladies, pls hold ur head high
Na fck you fck, you no do Chidinma”

Greek-Nigerian, Giannis Antetokounmpo (Adetokunbo), on Tuesday night, sealed Milwaukee Bucks first title since 1971 with heroic 50-point performance at the NBA Finals.
Giannis scored 50 points along with 14 rebounds and five blocks to lead the Milwaukee Bucks to the 2021 NBA championship after they defeated the Phoenix Suns 105-98 at home to take the Finals series 4-2.
The victory comes exactly three weeks after suffering a knee injury that appeared to put his role in the Finals in doubt.
With the victory, the Bucks clinched the NBA Finals 4-2 and became the only fifth team to win the best-of-seven championship series after losing the first two games.
Speaking after the game, he said ;
“Obviously, I represent my country, both countries, Nigeria and Greece,” Antetokounmpo said. “A lot of kids from there. But not just from Nigeria — all Africa and all Europe.
“I know I’m a role model. But this should make every person, every kid, anybody around the world believe in their dreams. No matter whatever you feel when you’re down, when you don’t think it’s going to happen for you or you might not make it in your career — might be basketball, might be anything — just believe in what you’re doing and keep working.
“Don’t let nobody tell you what you can be and what you cannot do … Just believe, man. I hope I give people around the world, from Africa, from Europe, hope that it can be done. It can be done.
“Eight years ago, eight and a half years ago, when I came to the league, I didn’t know where my next meal will come from. My mom was selling stuff in the street. Now I’m here sitting at the top of the top. I’m extremely blessed. I’m extremely blessed. If I never have a chance to sit on this table ever again, I’m fine with it. I’m fine with it. I hope this can give everybody around the world hope. I want them to believe in their dreams.”

The actress wrote;
A Letter to MY NOLLYWOOD!!
Dear Nollywood, How are you? Hope you’re doing great? A quick one!!
Please ,can we glorify the hardworking part of IGBO MEN, in our movies?? Instead of “RITUALS” alllllllll the time!! I mean, people are beginning to see it as a norm and if you really want to look into it yeah, IGBO MEN IN NIGERIA ARE THE MOST HARDWORKING MEN!!! Yes I said what I said!! With my FULL CHEST!! “Even the ladies”
Let me take you back to the comments about (the #Oba celebration of life ) The comment section was filled with a lot of Negativity!! Wow ! So an Igbo man can’t make clean money again?? I don’t understand it… I have stayed in the midst of them ( they talk about business , 80percent of all the times, always very calculative)… I mean, we (Nollywood) are MINISTERS TOO!! we preach through our movies and subconsciously get into the minds of people !!! So ,I beckon on our writers to please showcase more of “REAL , CLEAN, GROWTH STORIES “ not just for the IGBO MEN! But especially for them, because we kinda gave them this Look, through our movies!!
Ps: I’m not dating any Igbo man oh! Just saying the Bitter truth “THEY WORK VERY HARD, and that part of them DESERVES CLARITY “

On December 10, 2005, Kechi Okwuchi, a 16-year-old high school senior was aboard Sosoliso Airlines Flight 1145 that crashed, killing 107 people on board. She was one of only two survivors. All of her classmates died, leaving her the lone student survivor.
She survived and she hasn’t stopped telling the story of how her life changed forever.
She emerged a finalist at the twelfth season of America’s Got Talent in 2017 and her popularity has soared through the roof ever since.
However, she still has the scars from the crash, and she wears it proudly.
Kechi recently took to her social media page to share photos of how she was ‘one year after the crash’ and ‘what she looks like right now’.
Sharing the before and after photos, she wrote ;
(Wonder if I should tag this as sensitive content…?) I stumbled upon the picture on the left on my laptop a couple months ago, and i have been contemplating this post since then. I remember I stared at it for a long time that day. Time makes me forget just how extensive my burn injuries were, and how devastating the effects were to my body. I realize this may shock some of you too. The pic on the left was taken a good year after the plane crash and by then, intense scar tissue had formed, esp on my face. I took the pic on the right a few mins ago and made these before/afters, and I marvel at how far God has brought me. I am the result of the hard work of multiple surgeons He brought into my life, nurses, physiotherapists, and love and care from my family, my mom especially. This is what progress looks like, guys. 2 pictures, 14 years apart. I’m grateful that I lived long enough to see it. I decided to make this post so that you guys can marvel at God with me. I want someone who reads this to see that true progress, genuine growth, and lasting change cannot happen overnight. Most of the time during the journey, maybe like me, you won’t notice changes because day by day they’re too minuscule to make a difference. But if you give yourself a fighting chance, if you find the right kind of support on your journey, one day, definitely one day which right now may seem so far away, you will look back like I did this morning and hopefully…you will smile☺️ I heard this in a song and it stuck with me: The night will definitely come. But so will the morning🌤 I never post things like this arbitrarily. As always, please be encouraged.
Plane crash survivor and singer, Kechi, shares her Before/After photos as she marvels over how far God has brought her since the incident.

Started Bolt last week and I got home late on the first day, my wife was fully awake even after I called her around 10pm to go sleep and not wait for me…
