To be showered with flamboyant gifts and surrounded by the high and mighty, did I imagine. To be celebrated in front pages of newspapers, magazines, blogs, surely crossed my mind. But the reality is, it’s not now. It’s GONNA HAPPEN sooner and in the FULLNESS OF TIME…  I will get there not by hook or by crook but by work, by impact and by influence… I shall not be desperate; I shall not be intimidated; I shall not be ...

A certain Facebook user, Akande Thomas, has shared the experience of an MMM participant who claims God rejected his tithe from MMM earnings and clearly told him Christians involved in the scheme have had their names removed from the book of life. Read the narration below: The Reality of MMM. (From a participant)  When I was initially introduced to MMM, I went to God in prayer to seek for HIS approval. HE clearly told me that I cannot engage in it because those Christians involved in the scheme have had their names removed from the book of life. I was seriously troubled and at the same time afraid as I prayed passionately. As soon as I finished praying, I thought within myself ‘could this voice restraining me be of God?’. Just as I was meditating, another voice came saying; ‘It can not be of God but rather from the devil trying to tie you down in perpetual poverty for the rest of your life.’ So I quickly neglected the former voice for the latter.  I decided to try the ...

  The wedding ceremony of Zahra, the daughter of President Muhammadu Buhari, has reportedly been postponed. The ceremony, which was scheduled for this weekend, was moved as a result of President Buhari’s insistence on a low-key wedding for the 21-year-old bride to be, Daily Trust reported.

A former street beggar, Mr. Abdulsalam Idowu, heaved a sigh of fulfilment of a life ambition as he was called to the bar to start practising as a lawyer in Nigeria on Wednesday. Idowu, who defied all odds, to bag his law degree from the University of Lagos in 2015, had proceeded to the Nigerian Law School, where he emerged successful in the August/September 2016 final bar examinations conducted at the end of the one-year programme. The new wig, who engaged in street begging to fund his primary and secondary education,  was among the 4,225 graduates of the Nigerian Law School called to the bar in Abuja on Tuesday and Wednesday. Having lost his mother at about age three, crippled by a disease that befell him thereafter and left with a father and relatives who had no interest in his future, Idowu started begging at age eight in Erin Ile, Kwara State, to see himself through his primary and secondary school education. Against all odds, the 37-year-old had earlier in 2011 obtaine...

Topic: His Ears Are Not Dull [Thursday 1, December 2016] Memorise: Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands. – Job 14:15 Read: Isaiah 59:1-3 (KJV) 1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. Bible in One Year: Exodus 10:21-12:42, Psalms 113 MESSAGE: Alienation or banishment is a form of punishment in which a guilty person is expelled from a region and forbidden to return. Alienation is commonly used by God in the Bible to cut off sinners from His presence. A good example is the banishment of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden as a result of their disobedience to God. I pray that y...

So I finally got my copy of Toke Makinwa's much anticipated 'Tell it all' story on Monday morning and yes, I was able to finish reading through the 112 pages in about two hours. Forget the excerpts we have been bringing to you since she launched the book on Sunday, the 21 chapter memoir has deeper revelations and I will summarize it in these 14 simple points below:   1. Why the Book was published... Toke Makinwa for the first time (and probably last time) gave all the details on her marriage scandal that happened last year. Unlike entertainer Tiwa Savage who addressed her own marital scandal by granting an exclusive interview with Journalist Azuka and selling it to Pulse TV, Toke Makinwa decided to address hers in a book. According to Toke, she was inspired to write the book after a friend gave her an instruction from the Holy spirit.  One morning, a friend reached out to me. She said that the Holy Spirit had instructed her to tell me to write about my expe...

One of the ears of a 25-year-old man identified as Tolani Ajisefini has been chopped off in a fight that ensued after he spoke against the smoking of Indian hemp in Mushin area of Lagos State. Ajisefini, a site manager, had lived with his parents on Olateju Street, Mushin, where the incident happened, before relocating to the Isolo area of the state. The victim is said to have been a regular visitor to Mushin where he has friends. Last Saturday, he visited his former house and saw some youths smoking hemp and cautioned them, insisting that they leave the place. A resident, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told the Punch that the smokers ignored Ajisefini.

One of Tolani’s (Ajisefini) friends also backed him and fought the gang members but Tolani, asked him to leave the matter to him alone. ...

Queen Nwokoye has had more than a steady run in the movie industry since she joined in 2004.  She might not have been as prominent as expected in the beginning, however, Queen has continued to reign over the Nigerian home video and has remained relevant ahead of her peers by sustaining her relevance with hard work and a talent that can’t be overlooked. Speaking with BroadwayAfrica TV on why she never gave up even when odds were against her, Nwokoye said, “What brought me and what has kept me is my passion for the job. Money is good, the attention is good but I stayed because of the passion I have for it. It is a bit frustrating when you are doing something and it is like you are not being appreciated for it or recognized for it but the passion surpassed it, so I stayed. The rest is history.”

Awww! Who knew Femi Fani-Kayode was this romantic? Well, it seems he wants to prove to Toke that there are still some good and romantic Nigerian men out there. Read the poem he wrote his wife Precious below... "From the hills of Ohafia and the valleys of Abriba comes you that makes me smile. From the forests of Umahia and the lush green fields of Nanka comes you that brings me joy. From the eastern shores of our nation where stars shine brightly and from whence comes men whose spirits cannot be broken comes you that gives me hope. From the lineage of those who dare to believe and from the stock of those who soar like eagles comes you that creates new beginnings. God brought you my way and has given me a new lease of life. What a gift you are- not just to me but also to humanity. Your star shall shine from generation to generation. Your strength and confidence shall speak for you all the days of your life. Your talents shall open every door that you seek to enter. Your beaut...
