 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 ...

She was soaked in blood and mud and when we looked at her, we realised that she had been raped and sodomised. I don’t know who did this to my daughter. Al...

                              Nikki Samonas  has expressed her disgust for financially-challenged men as a result of her life experience which has seen her take care of herself all her life. She says because she is from a poor background and has had to hustle to cater for herself, dating poor men is not an option for her. According to the actress, she is tired of working her ass out to take care of herself, hence wants any man who comes into her life to help relieve her of such burden. “I have suffered in life, I mean I had to work to cater for my family and pay my school fees and so, I think it is time someone else takes that up. Someone should also take care of me so for me if you don’t have, money or are not financially independent, I cannot date you. It’s as simple as that,” she said in an interview with Delay on the Delay Show on Viasat 1. “I have no problem with the poor neither am I saying I want some...

Read the story by Ochuwa Jessica Abubakar below... Basirat’s ogi was cold but she didn’t care. English test today! She liked English especially because she could hear her teacher say the words “immense potential” about her, even though she couldn’t quite understand what those words meant. Growing up in Agege where her family and neighbours only spoke Yoruba, she was happy that she could actually learn to understand the words in those discarded newspaper pages used as boli wrappers.  That morning, Basirat had a quick shower, grabbed the nylon bag that held her books and rushed out of the room she shared with her grandmother. She almost ran into Kafaya, her neighbour and classmate in her hurry to get out. “Ahan! Kilo de? Why are you rushing like this?" Kafaya asked with a mouth full of toothpaste. "I don't want to be late for our test oh. Kafaya, you have not even had your bath yet!" Basirat screeched. Kafaya frowned as she spat out toothpaste. "Ah! It's just ...
