| Blac Chyna's custody battle with ex Rob Kardashian turns nasty | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 20 Aug 2017 04:12 AM PDT  According to TMZ, the exes met up at the Los Angeles offices of Rob's power lawyer Laura Wasser where, after attempting to solidify a custody agreement over their nine-month-old daughter Dream, the attention turned to Rob's Range Rover. Due to the talk turning unsuccesful, an 'agitated' Chyna attempted to drive off in the vehicle - which she bought for Rob during their ill-fated romance - before being stopped by one of her five lawyers and a valet.

But my fans should keep their fingers crossed because I will be coming out with something to blow their minds soon. Right now, I just need to sort some things out personally and get some things off my head." On quitting music, Eva said: "I would be lying if I say I don't think of quitting music; I actually do that often. Sometimes, I just wake up feeling it's all not worth it but I also push myself forward and continue to evolve. I will credit my stay in the industry to God because He is the one that gives me the strength to carry on. At times when it seems things are not working right, I just smile and move on because I know God is in control. I am also spurred on by the fact that there is still so much I want to achieve and I'm not a quitter. I am surrounded by great people who always encourage and motivate me to be the best version of myself. The most important thing is that I am happy doing what I truly love and I don't take that for granted because not everybody gets that chance."On the end of her engagement to OAP, Ceaser, she said curtly, "I would rather not talk about that please. Thank you."  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |
| Posted: 20 Aug 2017 03:42 AM PDT  She became a hot topic when her WASSCE result was released and she made A in all her papers. Chinecherem Cynthia Ali, a former student of Shalom Academy, Enugu, has revealed how she passed all her papers. Please introduce yourself. I hail from Umuagama community in Enugu State. I am the third of eight children. I am 18 years old. I attended Shalom Academy in Nsukka, Enugu State. My parents are not so rich but they gave me adequate care. My dad is a teacher. He also has a poultry farm. My mother works as a medical lab scientist in a district hospital. You became the first pupil in your school to earn A grade in all the subjects you sat for in WASSCE. What motivated you to achieve the feat? While I was in school, my priority was to make a wonderful result. I had clarity of purpose in what I wanted to achieve. My elder brother was the chief motivator. He made six As in his WASSCE last year. He told me I could do better than he did. He planted that goal to surpass his feat in me. Whenever I had a problem with my studies, he was always around to help me out. He practically taught me the techniques to excel in the subjects. He prepared my mind about the syllabus in SS3, who the teachers were and what would enable me to get the best from each of them. He told me I needed to put in extra efforts in whatever I was doing. On my first day in school, when I got to SS1, my chemistry teacher called me and told me certain things about my goal. He told me no one had ever made nine As in the school. He said he heard an inner voice that I could break the record. I was just laughing when he told me. I had a note which I titled, "My future WASSCE results." I wrote down my results on the note, filling As across all the subjects I was to sit for. I prayed to God to help me achieve the goal. My friends who saw the note said I was going crazy. But I told God to help me. Another teacher that helped me a great deal was my biology teacher. She prepared a study timetable for me to follow. She told me to study at least two hours at a stretch. The two teachers (chemistry and biology) told me my goal was achievable. Have you always had an excellent result like this? By God grace, I have always excelled in my studies. My results were always among the best. What did you say when you saw your outstanding result? I was overwhelmed with joy. It was a record-breaking result because no one had ever made that result in my school. On that day, I was sleeping. My brother came to wake me up and broke the news. When I saw it, I thought I was dreaming. How many hours did you study daily? In our school, we were mandated to observe our preparatory classes for day students. From 2.30pm to 4pm, I would go home to cook and do other things I needed to do till around 7pm. From 7pm till 10pm, I was always reading my books daily. Sometimes, I could set aside five or six hours to read. How did you cope with the distractions from boys in school? I never had a boyfriend. One thing I learnt along the line was that once one is serious with one's studies, it will be difficult for boys to approach one for a relationship. When I was in SS1, one day I entered the class. There was this male classmate of mine who was always disturbing me. I was reading my book. We had just finished the computer practical. Others were discussing while I was reading my book. Then the boy said, "What's the problem with you? Is it that you cannot rest, at least talk to people." He said I didn't need to be reading every time. I was able to overcome the pressures of male pupils because I didn't entertain any unserious talks. They knew me for that so they avoided me. Also, I was a day student, so I spent most of my time in class. We had preparatory classes by 4pm so I was always at home when I was not in school. This made it impossible for any boy to approach me. Maybe if I was in the boarding school, it would have been a different story. I am a quiet girl. Because I rarely had time to chat with others, they said I was a proud girl. But I taught a few of my classmates in my spare time. What subject was the most challenging for you and how did you overcome it? I think physics posed the greatest challenge. I always found it hard comprehending the subject. The situation changed when I got to SS3. Our physics teacher always gave us tests every week. If you failed the test, he would cane you. I was afraid of his cane. I then made up my mind to study hard. Along the line, I realised that physics was not even as difficult as I thought. Mathematics was easy for me. God was just helping me at every stage. I found out that I understood what I was taught quickly. We had five mathematics teachers. While in school, mathematics was divided into five areas. We had separate teachers for arithmetic, algebra, statistics, geometry and vector. Each of these subjects was taught separately. The way mathematics was split into five areas really helped me to have a thorough understanding of the subject. I usually excelled in my mathematics examinations even without studying. I love the subject so much. How did you feel meeting the Enugu State governor? I thank God for the privilege to meet the governor at my age. I am grateful to God for making it possible. Thousands of pupils in our state would like to meet the governor. For me, it is one of the most memorable moments of my life as I shook hands with the governor. The governor congratulated me and said the commissioner for education would reach out to me. Later, I was told that the governor had given me a scholarship to study in any university of my choice in Nigeria and a prize of N1m. I felt overwhelmed. I never believed that I would be a beneficiary of a scholarship. I appreciate the government for this noble gesture. What role did your parents play in your success? My dad is an English teacher. He always encouraged us. He taught us English after school hours. He made sure I didn't use a mobile phone. Once I got to secondary school, I neither used a phone nor had access to any gadget. It was a serious offence at home. It really helped me because if I had a mobile, I would have been distracted. I might have spent less time on my studies. My mum always encouraged me too. She told me that when she was my age, she excelled in her studies too. She emphasised that I could break the record. When I was in primary school, my father supported me with extra lessons at home. He also got part-time teachers for me. Do you think you are a genius? I don't think I am one. I think anyone who studied hard and relied on God can make a similar feat. What is the next step for you? I want to study medicine. I chose medicine because I believe it would enable me to save lives. It is also a noble profession. What did you score in the UTME? The UTME was out before I took WASSCE. I scored 266. I was discouraged when I saw the result because I felt I should have got above 300 marks. The good thing is that they also use the WASSCE result to select candidates. They grade prospective candidates, using 60 per cent for the UTME and 40 per cent for the WASSCE result. When I saw my UTME results, I was just praying to God to excel in WASSCE result a wonderful one. When our principal saw my UTME result, he didn't believe that it was my result because he expected more from me. UTME was very easy for me and I was disappointed when I saw the score. Which schools did you apply to? I applied to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka and Ebonyi State University. The universities have not started issuing admission letters. They have started uploading the results. The cut off mark for medicine is 290 or so in UNN last year. I checked my result and it was 319.6, so I am hopeful I would be admitted. Why don't you study abroad instead? I want to study in Nigeria first. I guess I am too young to study outside the country all alone. But I would like to do postgraduate studies abroad. Was cramming part of your studying methods? I am not good at cramming books. I develop many codes to remember what I read. What are the most remarkable lessons you have learnt from your success? I think the most important part of my success story is to do one's best and to trust in God. I always believe that it's only God that can enable me to fulfill my destiny.  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |
| My struggle with endometriosis – MBGN Queen, Unoaku Anyadike | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 20 Aug 2017 03:42 AM PDT  Miss Unoaku Anyadike won the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria (MBGN) pageant in 2015 and will be stepping down on September 15, 2017, In a chat with Entertainer, Anyadike opens up on her reign, struggle with Endometriosis and what she will miss most being MBGN Queen. Enjoy it. You have a velvety and glowing skin, what is the secret? Wow! Thanks. I guess I drink a lot of water. I also make sure I have adequate sleep and eat right. And besides, God blessed me with good skin. And for me eating right simply means eating when you are supposed to eat. I do lots of fruits, vegetables, water, less carbs and stuffs like that. When you look back at the last two years, what would you say are the high points of your Queenship? I have many fond memories. Going for the international pageants, Miss World and Miss Universe this year was a mind blowing experience, most especially, Miss Universe in The Philippines. I must confess they were both memorable experiences that will linger for a long time and I will never trade them for anything. I wouldn't have had these experiences but for MBGN. MBGN gave me the platform to travel far and wide and make my country proud. And also, being able to help people is one experience I have enjoyed greatly. I am talking about the less privileged among us, and of course, my pet project, which was endometriosis. Creating awareness for the condition was quite fulfilling for me. Why did you make endometriosis your pet project? At some point, I thought I actually had endometriosis and it was tough for me. I had some experiences and it became a cause very dear to my heart, so I decided to create awareness about it, because a lot of people do not know about it. How has the MBGN platform impacted you in the last two years? It has opened a lot of doors for me. I have met and rubbed shoulders with a lot of important people and world leaders, and not just in Nigeria but also across the world. I would always cherish those moments. I learnt that life is about meeting people, traveling, networking and building bridges so that we could have good and lasting relationships with people. What were your happiest moments? I have had a lot of them but I can't point to one and say 'yes, this is my happiest'. I have had a beautiful two-year reign as MBGN. I got two years instead of a year, so I guess God loves me. I was privileged. What were your saddest moments? That would take me a long time to work out. Maybe now that I am about to handover to another queen, as my reign finally comes to an end, I might feel sad because I will be missing the platform. However, I have not really had any saddest moment as such. Silverbird (Group) has been good to me, taking care of me in every way they can, and they are still doing that, and I am sure that is not going to end even after I hand over. For now, it is a grill of mixed emotions and I can't wait to crown the new queen. Are you sure you won't break down in tears on September 15 when you crown the new queen? (Laughter) No I won't. It is going to be emotional because I have been queen for two years. Two years seemed like forever. MBGN happens to be on September 15 and my birthday is on September 16, so I'll hand over on the eve of my birthday. It's a great way to start a new year. What beautiful memories are you taking with you? The relationships I have built over time with the Silverbird Group, the girls I met at Miss World and Miss Universe, and every other person I met internationally. I am still in touch with a lot of the girls I met including Miss India and Miss USA among others. So, life is all about making lasting relationships with different people and that is one thing I won't trade for anything. Beyond MBGN, what is the next level for you? Wow! That has already started, and it is work, work and more work. That includes facing my career, building and training myself and trying to become a better person and focusing on things I hope to achieve with my life as an individual. MBGN was just something I said 'let me try and see how it goes' and it was mind blowing. It was not like I had been planning to be a queen forever. MBGN just came along and I gave it a shot and I was lucky enough to win. So now that it is winding up, life will still continue. I had to finish school, do NYSC, which I have completed, and now I work with the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS); and I am looking to have my own school and do my own show among a lot of other things. What happens to your pet project on Endometriosis? It would still go on. Endometriosis has no cure, so it is all about creating awareness. Endometriosis has an awareness month; so we will still create awareness, hold walks in Abuja and in every state of the federation. I partner Nordica Fertility Centre and whenever they have events, they call me as endometriosis ambassador. It is not really tasking, so I will continue to do it alongside some other projects I have. You are pretty. Tell us about the man in your life. I would rather not talk about that in the newspapers. My love life is personal and not for public consumption. You have worn the crown for two years and now you are stepping aside. What advice do you have for the next queen? I will advise every young girl who wants to go for MBGN, and whoever wins MBGN to just be herself. Be yourself; don't try to be me or any other person. Don't try to be any other person that went before you. Yes, these people can be your role models, but please be yourself and enjoy the moment. Be cool and don't get carried away by what happens in our society nowadays. Just maintain your values. What has changed about you? I have learnt to be a bit more patient and a bit more understanding. Before being queen, you were relating with people but you can't compare it to you being queen of a big country like Nigeria, and everybody is looking up to you, to see the next move you make or your next mistake or that good thing you do. So, that is the difference. I have learnt to be more understanding and careful of things I say and do, because people like to misinterpret things. What you mean may not necessarily be what will be interpreted, so you have to be careful of what you say and things you do. You are relating with people and everybody is not going to be how you want them to be, so you need to be smart, you need to know how to work with people, because if you can work with people and you can build relationships and be more understanding and patient, you will go far. What are your dreams? My dream is to become a renowned psychologist. I am still going to do my Master's degree, have my own school and crèche, not just in Lagos but also all over Nigeria by God's grace. I also want to be a serial entrepreneur. You won't talk about your relationship but could you give us a description of your ideal man? My ideal man, first of all, has to be God fearing. Everybody could say that is a cliché but it is really important. I have to be attracted to him though, its part of it. And you have to be a hard and smart worker. I don't like lazy men; you have to be on your feet. You have to be loving and caring as well. I don't care about height. He could be short or tall and I don't care about age, but he must be attractive. However, what matters for me is what is inside. That means you can date an ugly man? Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. What is ugly to you may be handsome to me. I don't think there is anything like dating an ugly man. He might be ugly to you but he is handsome to me. It is basically beauty from the inside; that is the most important thing. If your inside is as beautiful and amazing, what is on the outside is of no consequence, so it is your inside that matters. How do you feel when you read negative reports about you? I have learnt to develop a thick skin. I am thankful for my family who has been my backbone and my fiends too who have been very supportive. So, you see negative things and you just laugh it off, because if people are not talking about you, then you are nobody; you are not relevant. You see negative reports and you just laugh and move on with your life.  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |
| Olori Wuraola's Friends Reveal Real Reason Her Marriage To Ooni Of Ife Crashed | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 20 Aug 2017 03:42 AM PDT  According to Kemiashefonlovehaven Olori Wuraola has been sent out of her matrimonial home and has since gone to retrieve her belongings from the palace which is now being controlled by the Ooni's sisters—Folashade, Adesola and Adebimpe. The same sisters who got the Ooni a new wife, Bolanle. "If the king proposed to her 24 hours after they met and told her that Ifa (the oracle) had revealed to him that she was his wife, why did he send her away? Did Ifa lie over 17 months after the proposal? What is Ifa saying now? That she is no longer his wife?" her friends asked. Now, her friends have alleged that Oba Ogunwusi, who needed a sizeable financial war chest in his battle to become the Ooni of Ife, was actually targeting Olori Wuraola's wealth and wide contacts. Sources disclosed that at that time and even afterwards, he constantly threatened her with charms, claiming he had eaten a live human heart, and had therefore acquired powers both to do and undo. They also alleged that he has a tempestuous character and many times barely stopped short of beating her whenever arguments ensued between them. Her friends disclosed that one matter that always caused rifts in the marriage was her constant advice that the monarch should clean up his act concerning his business dealings. "She fell for his charms and thought he was extremely wealthy but when she moved in, she realized it was all a sham!" they (friends) revealed. Olori Wuraola had reportedly raised the alarm that too many of his business dealings had a lot of question marks hanging over them, and that it was high time he began to live above board so as not to drag the dignified office of the Ooni into disrepute. We gathered from a reliable source close to the couple that this often infuriated the Kabiyesi. But what about the allegations of infidelity against the queen? "Nobody should believe that because it's a general belief that anyone sleeping with the wife of a king would die. How many men linked with her romantically have died? We know where this is coming from and those who have accused the Olori have been sleeping about with men who are not their husbands. These allegations are attempts to rubbish her and tarnish her image. A source close to the palace stated that childbearing was another issue that caused friction in the marriage. The Ooni kicked out his first wife, Adebisi Adebukola Bombata because they had no child. The couple was married for eight years (2008-2016) and his family believed that he needed to find someone who will bear him children which was how Wuraola came into the picture.  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |
| Men Just Want To Have Kids Without Taking Care Of Them - Actress Kemi Taofeeq | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 20 Aug 2017 03:12 AM PDT  In a recent interview with Vanguardngr, she said: "The simple reason is that men don't want to shoulder any responsibility, they prefer to father a child and leave the mother to shoulder the responsibility alone. Knowing they have a child is enough for them without caring for the child. . They just don't want to pay their bills. If I wanted to, I would have been a babymama a long time ago. I want to be a mother and a wife. I can never be in such a situation because at this point in my life I don't go around with unserious men. If I get pregnant I marry, straightaway. Anyway, I don't date boys, I deal with men, real men."  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |
| People Misunderstand Me A Lot - Burnaboy | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 20 Aug 2017 03:12 AM PDT  Burna who is known to speak his mind about any situation, caring less whose ass is gored, has made it known he does not like to sugarcoat things, he prefers to tell the truth and deal with the consrquences. Speaking with Sunday Scoop, he said: "I am someone who calls a spade a spade. I say it as I see it, and I don't like to sugarcoat things. I believe in being real and I don't have time for industry politics. There is a lot of fakeness in the industry; people say one thing, yet they mean another. For me, I wouldn't say anything behind your back. I would say whatever I want to say right to your face, and that's the end. I believe in expressing myself immediately and after that, it's over; I move on. But in this industry, if you speak the truth, you begin to look like the odd one out and that's not cool. That's why I don't have lots of friends in the industry because I like to keep to myself."  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |

| 5 Things Your Wife Wishes You Knew (but wont tell you) Posted: 20 Aug 2017 03:09 AM PDT  But even if you do all of that, here are five things your wife wishes you knew... 1. It's actual work. Sure, she might not get out of her pajamas until noon, but she is still working. Work is part of being created in the image of God (Gen. 1:27). Work existed long before compensation, so whether she is paid or not, she is still working. The hours look different than for those who hold more traditional jobs, but that doesn't diminish what she is doing. Work is God's means of loving the world through the labors of our hands. She is doing that good work by cleaning the floors, making the home a safe and welcoming place, and hosting weary friends. She is loving the world in the grocery shopping, the meal planning, and even the training of children. 2. It's hard for her to measure her success. Back when she was punching a time clock (or getting a regular paycheck) she had a better gauge on her work. She may have had performance reviews or even worked on a collaborative team. These things made measuring her success easier. Of course, we know that worldly success is not God's standard (Eph. 6:7; Col. 3:23). But we are also human, so we want to know that we are at least on the right track. The work of the home is mundane, ordinary, and often doesn't bear fruit until years later. The meal to a sick neighbor, the caring for children, the daily keeping up with all that makes a family run smoothly is good work, but it's work that is behind the scenes and often unnoticed. She may be discouraged. She may want to know that you see her work as valuable. Tell her. 3. It's not just women's work. When the Industrial Revolution happened, work was divided sharply along gender lines. Fast forward many years and we have also brought this gendered understanding of work into the home. While she may be the one primarily in the home, and therefore the one who does the bulk of the at-home work, all of us will give an account of how our homes are used for the good of the world and God's glory (Heb. 13:1–3). In Scripture, hospitality is a male and female command (1 Tim. 3:2; 1 Pet. 4:9). Raising children is for both parents (Eph. 6:4). You may enjoy the work of the home, or you may not, but the fact that you live there means you should be a contributor to that work. 4. It's lonely. God did not intend for us to work in isolation. No man (or woman) is an island. We were made for community and collaboration in our work. We need people to share the load with us, to bounce ideas off of, and to encourage us in our work. In our current cultural model, this does not happen very easily in the work of the home. In fact, it takes a lot of intentionality to create community and collaboration in at-home work. It's lonely most days, doing work that is ordinary and mundane. If you spend your days working in an environment that has more community than the one she has, she will be served by your empathy toward her. 5. Sometimes she needs a break. The home is a place of rest and refuge for many. However, all your wife sees are the things that need to get done. We follow in the pattern of our God who rested on the seventh day (Gen. 2:2). We rest, though, not because the work is complete, but because we are finite. We are limited beings who cannot keep up the pace set for us in our work. But it's hard when the work is where you live. It's hard when the work includes the people you love the most. Some days she may swing between feeling like she may explode and feeling guilty that she needs a little time away. Anticipating her need for rest will serve her, and will also give weight to your acknowledgment that the work of the home is not her burden to bear alone. You are both in this together, using your home for the good of God's world. [written by Courtney Reissig, a wife and mother]  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
| Saraki Welcomes Buhari, Says “President Will Resume With Greater Vigour" Posted: 20 Aug 2017 02:39 AM PDT  Saraki, in a statement signed by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, thanked God for the safe return and recovery of the President, and reaffirmed the commitment of the National Assembly to continue working alongside the President in achieving objectives aimed at improving the standard of living of Nigerians and overall development of the country. "I thank Almighty Allah for bringing President Muhammadu Buhari back whole, hale and hearty. I am thoroughly delighted that President Buhari has returned home after his medical vacation", the Senate President said, "I was privileged to have met him twice in London during the period of the vacation. After our first meeting, I told Nigerians there was no cause for alarm. After our recent lengthy meeting on Thursday this week, I informed Nigerians that Mr. President's return home was imminent. "In all, we must thank Almighty God for sparing all our lives and granting Mr. President a most remarkable recovery. His return marks a new lease of life for this administration. I am confident that Mr. President will resume with even more vigour to pursue an economic agenda that will improve the welfare of all Nigerians.

| 4 Lifestyle Trends That Make You Happier Posted: 20 Aug 2017 02:09 AM PDT  Do Something Kind Doing things for people or communities can be a great way to boost your mood. Being kind is actually one of the major things that bring people joy. Researchers found that kindness improves the way we perceive others, and when an individual does something spontaneously to help others it can positively change their whole attitude. Hygge This is a Scandanavian lifestyle trend that is basically about achieving coziness in everyday life. In essence, it is about taking pleasure from the presence of gentle, soothing things and choosing to ignore things that might be annoying or emotionally overwhelming. It is basically about 'cutting the clutter' from your life and finding solace in contentment and your general well-being. Hygge is indeed a soothing trend that helps you appreciate the little things and makes you happier. The Hygge trend typically involves: finding comfort in and enjoying everyday rituals; making use of warm lighting to leverage their warming and comforting effect; establishing relaxation zones in your home; embracing old and imperfect things while trying to find creative ways to make them useful; and uncluttering your home to make it more stress-free and mess-free. Spending Less Time on Devices It is important to spend less time building a life in the virtual world and more time doing so in real time. No matter how good you are at networking and meeting new people on social media, you still need to develop tangible relationships with these people if you want to make anything out of your networking efforts. In addition, letting pictures of what your friends and colleagues have or are doing depress you because you think you don't have or are not doing any better, is such a masochistic way to live, when you can be out there meeting new people, living your life and having your own experiences to share. It is not so much about trying to live up to the standard of your friends or colleagues, but about taking charge of your life and defining your own standards. Exercising Exercise is another great way to boost your mood and this manifests in how good you feel about yourself and your body after you have completed a good workout. This is mainly because the body releases endorphin during exercise, which in turn makes you feel happy. The best part of exercising is that you don't need a gym membership to do it, all you need is to just remain active throughout the day – jog a little, walk around or basically just find any excuse to get your joints moving, and find ways to incorporate some kind of activity into your daily routine, rather than just living a sedentary life.  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |

| What Does the Bible Say About Anger? Posted: 20 Aug 2017 01:14 AM PDT  TODAY'S ENCOURAGEMENT Hello Beloved! We're continuing our series called "Matters of the Heart" as we work our way through the Psalms to help us develop and maintain emotional wellness by learning how to honestly respond to our feelings and how to process our emotions in a healthy way. Today we are talking about anger. As women I think we feel we need to be these nurturing care takers that are always so soft and sweet and never get angry. And as Christians I think we have this false idea that to feel anger is sinful and not Christ like. So we don't really like to admit when we're angry because we think it's bad to be mad. So let's make this very clear. It is not sinful to feel angry. However, if we allow anger to stay in our hearts then not only will it completely destroy our joy and peace but it's an open door for the enemy to take advantage of us and lead us into sin. So how can we manage this emotion in a healthy way that respects our souls and honors God? We're answering this question and more in this week's video devotional "What Does the Bible Say About Anger?" Enjoy! PRAY Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for being my defender and protector. Please reveal any anger I may have in my heart and grant me the strength to handle it in a way that honors me and gives you glory. In Jesus Christ Name I pray. Amen.

| Attack On EFCC: Why They Want EFCC Investigator Dead Posted: 20 Aug 2017 12:14 AM PDT  Forty eight hours after a security breach was recorded at the Zone 7, Abuja, office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), indications have emerged that some high-profile suspects may have masterminded the dawn attack. It will be recalled that some gunmen had, about 5:00am on Wednesday, attacked the 30A, Harper Street, Zone 7, office of the anti-graft agency. The target of the assailants, according to the EFCC, was one of its top investigators, Mr. Ishaku Sharu, who is the Head of Foreign Exchange Malpractices Fraud Section. Interestingly, Wednesday's dawn attack came a few weeks after one of the commission's top investigators, Austin Okwor, escaped death by the whiskers, after a vicious attack in Port-Harcourt, the Rivers State capital, left him severely wounded. The attackers, who were repelled by security operatives guarding the building, according to a statement by the commission's spokesman, Mr. Wilson Uwujaren, had dropped a letter containing threat to kill Sharu. As the anti-graft agency begins investigation into the incident, Saturday Telegraph's investigation has revealed that some high-profile suspects, who are either facing trial, or being investigated on alleged corruption and money laundering cases, may be behind the Wednesday's attack. A competent security source, who spoke in confidence with Telegraph, said Sharu's "sin" is his refusal to compromise his job. The source further claimed, that the "overwhelming" evidence the top investigator may have gathered around politically-exposed persons (PEPs) undergoing investigation, may have unsettled the affected suspects, whose identity had yet to be ascertained due to ongoing probe. However, it was gathered that the anti-graft agency is narrowing down on some recent cases being investigated by Sharu. "In this kind of situation, you can't rule out anything. While we are taking a second look at all the high-profile cases that he had handled in the past; we are also paying special focus on recent ones," the source said. Apart from PEPs, Sharu also coordinates the investigation of senior retired military officers. The source said: "Obviously, Ishaku Sharu was their target, because of the sensitive unit he heads, which oversees investigation of some politically exposed individuals under investigation/trial, who have (allegedly) looted public treasury. "Don't also forget that he is in charge of investigation of some senior retired military officers, who have questions to answer on the (alleged) procurement fraud in the military. "We are also aware some senior military officers are not happy with the outcome of some investigations he carried out which indicted some retired senior military officers. You know that in military circles, there is esprit de corps. So, the feeling is that some serving senior officers are afraid that a fate similar to the one that befell their retired colleagues may await them. "They are aware that Sharu cannot be compromised and so the only option is for him to be intimidated. Although he has those working with him, it was deliberate that the death threat note was addressed to him." Asked if Sharu had received threat messages in the past, the source said: "That is not necessary now." Another source, who spoke in similar vein, said a directive had since been issued, for a watertight security around the Acting Chairman of EFCC, Mr Ibrahim Magu, as well as top investigators at the commission's headquarters in Abuja, and zonal offices. It was further gathered that the police high command, might deploy more men to boost existing security arrangements at EFCC. "I can assure you that security around Acting Chairman and top investigating officers, had been heightened. "I heard that the police high command has also given directive for additional armed personnel to be drafted within and around the commission's headquarters and other locations, to forestall any eventuality," he said. This was as Telegraph learnt that the threat to life letter packaged in a white envelope, was being subjected to "forensic examination" by experts. Meanwhile, a visit to the zone 7 office that was attacked, showed that armed Mobile policemen, as well as operatives from the anti-bomb unit of the force, were still present, as visitors entering the building were thoroughly searched. Part of the EFCC's statement on the dawn attack, had read: "A major security breach was recorded at the headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, in the early hours of Wednesday, August 16, 2017, as unknown gunmen attacked the office located at Wuse Zone 7, Abuja. "The group of heavily armed bandits invaded the office about 05.00 hours and began shooting into the premises, damaging vehicles parked on the premises in the process. However, the attack was repelled by guards on duty. "The hoodlums escaped in a getaway vehicle but not without leaving a message; a white envelope dropped by the fleeing attackers was found to contain a death threat addressed to Ishaku Sharu, a senior investigator with the Commission..."  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
| How I knew my husband was the one for me- Monalisa Chinda | Mr Olumide's Blog Posted: 19 Aug 2017 11:42 PM PDT  "A man must derive pleasure from serving his girlfriend (or) wife. This can only be achieved in a relationship based on true love and mutual respect. A woman becomes even more beautiful and adorable for the man that pampers her. African men (fail) to understand that acts of love and respect bring out the best in a woman." Sunday Scoop (Punch)reached out to her to find out what actually prompted her post. She said, "Beyond how a man looks or what he has, what is more important is how he treats a woman. Men are rarely advised on how to treat women in a relationship; most of what you see is advice to women. I just decided to give the men some tips that would do them a lot of good if they follow it." Speaking on what convinced her that her husband was the man for her, she said, "I found that I was at peace with him. He is God-fearing and has a good relationship with his family. I also always like to be in his company, and I knew it deep inside me that I had found the one. He loves my daughter like his own child and she feels very comfortable with him as well. Of course, there were a couple of other things I looked out for and the good thing was that he surpassed all my expectations." On the lessons she learnt from her past marriage, she said, "Don't let your emotions becloud your judgment; you have to use your head at all times. I believe I'm a humble person and I don't have any problem admitting it when I'm wrong. I have also learnt to be patient and not make hasty decisions. In all, marriage is a lifelong training ground so you learn every day. It is important to understand the person you're in a relationship with; know their likes and dislikes and that should guide your conduct, so that you wouldn't have issues."  culled from MPNB Mr Olumide's Blog |

| Posted: 19 Aug 2017 11:21 PM PDT  Over the past 15 years, I have been working directly and indirectly with college students. Almost 10 years ago I noticed a trend that - at the time - was alarming. That alarm has now been going off non-stop since, and I'm finally seeing it come to fruition. What became obvious 10 years ago to me was that boys were growing up only to become older boys; never maturing to a place of living as Godly men. Because of this, we started a new ministry for boys finishing high school, and called it "Young Guns." The point of the program was to teach boys what it looked like to "live a life worthy of the calling [they] have received" (Ephesians 4:1). Fast forward 10 years, and what we have now are boys who have no clue what it means to be a man. Our college staff regularly ask me if they can just come by my house, and watch me interact with my family. To me, there is nothing magical happening at my house, but for them, they are thirsty for an example of living as a Godly men. And now I look down and have 2 boys of my own; a 5-year-old and 3-year-old. As I interact with them, all the conversations I've had with young college students over the years flood through my mind. What has God instructed me as their father to teach them and -- in light of the culture we live in -- what are some practical areas that I need to build into them as well? Here are a few I am focusing on, and how I am doing it: 1. Teach them about God. (Deuteronomy 6:4-9) I thought this wouldn't be that difficult until they started asking me those questions that only a small child can formulate: "Dad, if you just prayed for my hiccups to go away, why am I still hiccupping?" Good question. I want my boys to begin to learn about God by showing them who He is with easy, concrete examples. God is a warrior, a strong tower, a rock, a strong foundation, a dad, etc. Easy to understand concepts that help build a picture in their minds about who He is. I've written a blog post already about this, but the Jesus Storybook Bible is an incredible resource for young kids. Each night, I gather my boys -- and sometimes my daughters -- and I just read them a story out of this Bible. I think we are in the middle of reading it through for the 3rd time. It is engaging, easy to read, has good pictures, and really helps tell the story of Jesus through the entire Bible. My boys love that time each night. (They now fight for who can sit on my right side while I read, after I told them it was a seat of honor in biblical times.) 2. Teach them to work -- hard. (Genesis 2:15) God created work for men. This was not a result of sin. Before sin entered the world, God had already instructed Adam to tend the garden. When I leave for work, I want them to know, "I get to go to work today." As well, I get to teach them to work around the house. They "help" me mow the lawn, split firewood, and clear debris. Right now, they love it. I want to teach them early that work isn't a punishment, but a way to glorify God. 3. Teach them to obey. This is consistent throughout scripture. Obey God. In order for them to do that, they need to learn on a smaller level. Steph and I work hard to teach them to obey quickly, consistently and joyfully. We do many "let's try that again" moments. When they obey correctly, we slap many high-fives and hoot and holler. As part of this, we want them to know there are consequences to sin; one of those is separation. Many of us have stories of people around us who lost their jobs, their families or their integrity by sinful decisions in their lives. We want to teach them early how when they choose to disobey, there are consequences. It's no fun to sit on our stairway at home in "time out," but necessary. I want them to feel the separation as young boys. Hopefully, I'll be able to build on that later in life. 4. Teach them to lead. (Ephesians 5) This is not a power-grab type of leading. This is leading by taking responsibility; a leading that is motivated by serving. You know how little boys try to whine and moan because they are trying to explain why they made the poor choice they made. I want my boys to learn how to lead by taking responsibility. If it was their fault, they need to own up to it. John Eldredge uses the phrase "offering your strength." My boys need to learn what it looks like to offer their strength to others: to those that are being picked on, to women, to their friends. Our culture consistently offers us pictures of men who are greedy, prideful and starving for more power. I think teaching my boys what it looks like to lead begins by teaching them to take responsibility. 5. Teach them to love. (Ephesians 5) What does it look like to love God, love your wife, and love your kids? Boys today need to see "tender warriors." What does it look like for a dad to submit his heart to God, and to seek to follow him daily? I want my boys to see me reading my Bible in the morning with a good cup of coffee. They need to see me on the couch with my wife, as I tickle her or cuddle. They need to see me lovingly teach, encourage, train and disciple them. They need to know I'm their biggest fan. I am because they're my sons. [written by Kevin East]  culled from Olu famous Mr Olumide's Blog |
