 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 ...

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...

Chris Brown's baby mama Nia Guzman last week filed court docs accusing Chris of causing their daughter Royalty to become asthmatic from second hand cigarette and weed smoke and for this, Nia asked a judge to restrict Chris's visitation rights and force him to go for drug test.

This is a sponsored post... I am Lorraine Nwufo, a graduate of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka with a degree in applied biochemistry which happens to be to me now nothing more than a degree. With not much forthcoming along that path, I decided to deviate into the networking career after realising my flare for IT and particularly Cisco Networking because of its diverse opportunities it offers in Nigeria at the moment and in the future to come. I got to know about Deft-Rains through Linda Ikeji blog and I'd say going through it at that moment, turned out to be a blessing as it helped to clear my indecision on where to apply for the CISCO programme. The advertisement from Deft-Rains was more than impressive; the ease to which I could apply and the efficiency in response is really worth applauding. I registered anticipating the best considering how perfectly they had advertised themselves on the social platform and I got nothing but the best! The lecture room, conducive environment, mo...

                           In what can only be described as a battle of shame, residents of Mwiki in Kasarani, Kenya were treated to a free drama yesterday afternoon after two women went for each others' necks over a man. Meanwhile, the residents didn't even bother to intervene. It is that Kenyans don't 'separate' fights or what? Lol. More photos

A primary school teacher identified as Evi Iwaha pictured above, has narrated how some robbers attacked her,took her ATM card and cleared her account in the early hours of Saturday January 30th. She narrated her story to  The Nation . "It happened a few minutes to 6.00am; I’d boarded a bus supposedly to Oshodi from Obanikoro. No sooner had the bus moved than they sprang into action. The first thing they did was grab my phone; ‘What do you do? Where are you coming from?’one of them asked. I was hopeful that they’d take pity on me, having told them I was just a primary school teacher. Why bother to ask if it meant nothing to them? After rummaging through my wallet, they found two ATM cards and some cash. The question that followed hit me with a bang. ‘What’s your pin number?’ Instinctively, I hesitated for a while, but a resounding slap on my face soon got me spilling it out. These guys were actually going to do the unimaginable. They were going to clear my account. To think that I ...

British scientists have been granted permission to genetically modify human embryos by the fertility regulator.  The Francis Crick Institute could begin thecontroversial experiments as early as March after the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority(HFEA) gave the green light this morning. The scientists want to deactivate genes in leftover embryos from IVF clinics to see if it hinders development. It will only be the second time in the world that such a procedure has been undertaken and the first time it has been directly approved by a regulator. A Chinese team carried out similar experiments last year to widespread outcry. Currently around 50 per cent of fertilised eggs do not develop properly and experts believe that faulty genetic code could be responsible. If scientists knew which genes were crucial for healthy cell division, then they could screen out embryos where their DNA was not working properly, potentially preventing miscarriages and aiding fertility. The initial p...
