 didn’t even realize it until my loved ones started commenting! I share all of this to say that taking care of our health is not just our  “I cancel that in Jesus’ name!” “I shall not die, but live to declare the works of the Lord!” And my personal favorite, “That’s not my portion!” All very typical responses from Christians when warned that the lifestyle that they are living may not be conducive to their health or well-being — well, from us African Christians anyway. Now before I get anybody’s back up, I do not say all of this to make fun of anyone’s beliefs or culture. I myself am not only of Nigerian descent, but have been saved since I was 11 years old. That means that I am just as likely to exclaim “Tufiakwa!” at a perceived curse. It also means that I believe in a God who wants nothing more than to see us prosper and be in good health and who has healed us “by His stripes.” I know what the Bible says, and it’s pretty clear that God doesn’t want us ...

Image
Rapper N6 was on the panel of a recent episode of Linda Ikeji TV's Hot Topics with Latasha where they debated on singer, Falz's comment about entertainers who glorify people with illegal money in their songs. While stating his stand on the topic, N6 noted that entertainers cannot be seperated from illegal money and that most of the highest money that they've made come from people that have made money from illegal means. According to the rapper, as much as late Libyan leader, Ghadaffi was dubbed a dictator, when Beyonce was invited to sing at one of his functions and paid $1m, she did not turn it down. N6 says it is the job of the EFCC and government to go point out fraudsters and not musicians.  "Falz is right. What he said is right and it makes a lot of sense. For me, you cannot remove entertainment from illegal money. Half the time we get paid those really exorbitant money, half the time we call that price and we don't get that argument of how to get i...
