MAN ACCIDENTALLY KILLS HIS BABY WHILE BEATING HIS WIFE

Countless times women have been advised to speak up and seek help when in an abusive relationship. Domestic violence has negative ripple effect on the victims, the family and the society. In most cases, either the victim is maimed or murdered.

In Owerri, Mr. Chinedu, accidentally killed his three months old baby while beating his wife. The wife allegedly picked up the baby thinking that it will calm her husband down. While trying to dodge a punch from her husband, the baby got hit and died.

Mr. Chinedu has been arrested. He was interrogated and in tears blamed his anger on his wife for not washing his clothes, lies and not trust-worthy.

62 YEARS OLD PASTOR WAS ARRESTED FOR DEFILING A 7 YEAR OLD GIRL ON THE ALTAR

The rising trend of sexual assaults on the girl child is very worrisome. They are no longer safe because the very hands that should be protecting them are the ones destroying them. Another provoking one that occurred recently, 9^th of May precisely calls for a high cry…a pastor defiling a little girl. The church is supposed to be a safe haven for anyone especially little children. But in this case, the church was the very place the abominable act was committed. Not just in the church but on the altar…a place where one can have a personal encounter with God.

A FEEL A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY

‘’Paradise can be found on the back of horses, in books and between the breasts of women’’ says a proverb.

Your breast is your paradise, do not let it bring hell to you.

Check your breast daily.

You do not need to wait till October for Breast Cancer Awareness. Tell someone about it. You could save a woman’s life. Get checked either by self- examination or go for a mammogram.

 ‘’Breast cancer is being detected at an earlier, more treatable stage these days, largely because women are taking more preventive measures, like self-examinations and regular mammograms. And treatment is getting better too’’ Elizabeth Hurley.

6 Ps FOR EVERY GO-GETTER

Everyone wants to achieve that which they desire. Only a few see to it that they get what they want despite the hurdles. They are called the go-getters. Go-getters are people who get their goals at all cost. They are determined to succeed. They have set out clear goals and are proactive towards getting it. They believe in themselves and display certain attributes which puts them on top of their game. I have called these attributes the ‘6Ps of go-getters’.

PRINCIPLES: Principles give you a clear focus. It helps you chart your course (discover your path) and make decisions.You have heard that ‘’If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything’’. Go-getters know what they want and live by what they stand for.

PURPOSE: Purpose is the ‘why’. It is the reason you want something done. Purpose helps you know how best to channel and exert your energy on what you want to do. Every go-getter connects with their purpose which pushes them closer to their goals.

PASSION: Passion is that magnetic force that pulls you toward your vision. It creates a positive vibe (enthusiasm) which gives you energy to do that which you believe in. Go-getters know that you cannot have passion which for what you don’t believe in.

PERFORMANCE: To perform is to act. It is turning into reality that which you have dreamed about. Go-getters are proactive and they bring quality to their performance through constant learning.

PERSISTENCE: Persistence is unwilling to let go of what you desire. Failure is not an option for the go-getter. They are not afraid to fail, so they don’t quit.  Go-getters know they have to keep trying, irrespective of the number of times they have failed, till they get what they want. If one method doesn’t work, they try other ones instead of giving up. They are always ready to embrace challenges.

PERSUASION: Persuasion is the act of causing people to do or believe in something. That is, winning people to believe in you. This is a skill for the go-getter. It is only when people believe in you that they will support or partner with you.

AMAZING GRACE

What’s going through your mind? Wondering if I am a Christian? What do I know about grace right?  Lol. Interestingly, I am an ardent Christian and I don’t plan on porting. Okay, let me tell you a little about grace especially now Easter is here. I have seen so many definitions and acronyms of ‘grace’ but the one that got to me is the understanding of grace I got during my quiet time.

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU!

Easter signifies renewed life. I pray you and your family experience a renewed life, love and joy from this day on. May the spirit of God fill your homes and cause you to see the wonderful blessings of God this Easter and forever.

I wish you the happiest Easter ever.

God bless you!

USE WHAT YOU HAVE TO GET WHAT YOU WANT

                                                              

You have it! Yes you…you! What’s going through your mind? You’re wondering what she is going to write about this time right? Got you there! Use that thing you have. ‘’You have all it takes’’ says Bishop TD Jakes.

It was during one of our Review Sessions…the ‘shredding’ session where managers use their mouths (words) to tear off your clothes…most dreaded session. One of the managers told me ‘’you have to use what you have to get what you want’’. I have never liked that word because of how most ladies use it especially in movies. It translates most time to the bed. Years later, I had to do a lot of thinking and I found out that I can actually get what I want by using what I have. That is, in a totally different way from what I had perceived it to be. What do I really have? And what do I really want? See what I made out of it.

First Lady of Kebbi State adopts mad woman’s daughter

Dr. Mrs. Zainab Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, the first lady of Kebbi State, recently adopted the daughter of a mad woman roaming the streets. She has changed the girls name from Saddiqa Bako to Saddiqa Abubakar Atiku Bagudu while the mentally challenged woman has been taken to the hospital to get medical attention.

The Braless party

                                                   

Mr. Musiliu Akinsanya, a.k.a Mc Oluomo, the Head of NURTW (Nigerian Union of Road Transport Workers) Lagos Chapter, marked his birthday on March 14, 2016. This was celebrated at The Place Night Club, Ikeja. The birthday party was themed ‘Braless Party’ as female attendees were instructed to come without their bras on. Someone said it is because of the excessive heat in Naija.

Was his daughter there too?

Where is our sanity and decorum?

Let’s organize ‘no boxers’ party for the men and see how many will turn out. You will be shocked that none will show up so why do this to yourselves? Why allow yourselves to be used as public toilets?

Quite shameful!                                                         

Woman wanted to sell her children for N30, 000 each

During a crusade held in calabar, Dr Chris Okafor a.k.a Oracle, prophesied that there was a woman in the congregation who was offered N30, 000 each for her two children and was concluding plans to sell them to raise money to start a trade. While Dr. Okafor was still talking, the woman ran out to him and affirmed his prophecy. On seeing this, he knew that this was not a matter of binding and casting…he gave her N100, 000 and told her count if it is complete.

Na wa o! What is this world turning into? Mothers are now forsaking their children. So if not for the crusade, she would have sold them?

7 SAFETY TIPS FOR YOUR CARDS

…but he is a pastor ‘Rosemary lamented’. She has just called me from the UK for her account balance. I told her the balance but she argued and told me what it should be. I ran through her account statement and gave her the breakdown of transactions from the last time she was in Nigeria till that date. I noticed that there were numerous ATM debit transactions just the week before she called me and she was already in the UK. Is your ATM card with you? ‘I asked’. She said no and that it’s with her pastor who she instructed to withdraw money monthly for her mother’s upkeep. But the pastor saw it as God’s blessing and decided to use it for his daily upkeep. The rest of the story is to be told in another edition. You can never trust anyone when it comes to matters like this. This goes a long way to tell us that fraud is an ever-growing problem and it is to our best interest to take necessary precautions. To help reduce the risk of fraud and theft, here are few safety tips:

FEMALE VILLAINS OF NOLLYWOOD

A truly talented actor or actress can play any role especially one that is totally different from who they really are. It is often a celebration in the scope of creativity that permits them to explore and excel in their roles. Many of these characters wow us and make us almost forget that they have a life outside the screen.

Let’s give it them…it is not easy acting what you are not. Some of them are being confronted publicly by fans for certain roles they featured. Here are few female screen divas in Nollywood who can play the villain.

AGING WITH STYLE

People who know me too well know how much I dread to age…just like every other woman. The mere thoughts of looking like Madea in Madea’s Witness Protection drives me nut. I don’t want the wrinkles, my skin looking like boiled meat, saggy breasts (though, we can handle this with push-up bras) or lose my attractiveness. The media hasn’t helped any better…making us believe that the younger the better. Even the ‘tweenies’ have practically pushed us out of the ‘beauty market’. I want to be in my forties and still wear those ‘hot’ dresses. I want to be known as sexy grandma…one that wears the skimpy clothes*wink*. 

I have realised that the fear of aging can prevent me from embracing the changes and I have dealt with these fears. I will it share you how I did it:

JOCELYN AND KIM...WHO'S MORE CURVY?

                                
Who do you think is more curvy?

These two actress have the perfect 8-figure...flat abs, right curves and contours and firm bodies. The two mothers have managed to keep their shapes amidst the struggles of pregnancy fats and stresses. The amazing beauties, both 35 years of age, have excelled in their endeavours.

HAVE YOU ASKED YOURSELF WHY?

We use ‘why’ when we want to find out the reason something happened or is happening and to know how to apply wisdom in addressing the issues.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU!

Tis the season to be jolly!

Christmas comes with this unexplainable euphoria. Words fail me as I cannot find the right words to express the joy I feel within. With few hours to Christmas, let’s take out time to reminisce- the reason for the season.

All I want this Christmas is you! Your smiles, your health, your wealth and your prosperity are important to me. My prayer is that you will enjoy all the ’goodies’ of life.

May the spirit of Christmas fill your lives with love, joy, peace and may all your dreams come true as you experience a WHITE Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!                                                           

THE LAST RITUAL...

The festive season is at its peak as businesses are shutting down, last shopping is being done and beehives of activities all around as the year packs its bag. Let’s not close the box without strapping its content. It’s that solemn moment when you look around to ensure you are leaving nothing out before closing the box. Let’s perform the last ritual as we celebrate this season…the ritual of forgiveness. Yes! It is a ritual performed with the aim of finding peace of mind, enhancing our spiritual growth and living life to the fullest. It’s time to let go of all the hurts. Unforgiveness can only ruin our health and hold us back from all the good we might desire, achieve and experience. One of the qualities of the strong is the ability to forgive. It is a divine attribute. But we find it difficult to exercise due to the depth of the harm done or extent of the pain felt, most especially, when we are betrayed with a kiss(from loved one).
