Dear Aunt, I am a 27-year-old woman, and I have struggled with stuttering since childhood. Growing up, people laughed at me in school, and even now, I notice people finishing my sentences or avoiding conversations with me because I take time to speak.

Whether you work in a corporate office, a creative space, or run your own business, looking polished can boost both confidence…
Readings: Acts 1:12-14; Psalm 27; 1 Peter 4:13-16; John 17:1-11 Grace and peace to you, dear brothers and sisters in the Lord. Today is the Seventh Sunday of Easter, Year A. In the Gospel of today, we have an account of the priestly prayer of Jesus Christ, a very powerful prayer and a preview of what He continues to do for us in heaven as our High Priest (Romans 8:34; 1 John 2:1). There are so many themes we could explore today. However, I am deeply moved by this statement of Jesus: “I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the…
Every year on May 16, the global community observes the International Day of the Boy Child. Established to focus attention on the distinct struggles boys face worldwide, this day serves as a critical mirror for Nigeria—a society where the boy child is too often a figure hidden in plain sight.

As prominent figures and stakeholders have noted, the status of the Nigerian boy child is no…

A wedding day is often described as one of the happiest moments in a couple’s life. Months, and sometimes years, are spent planning every detail, from the flowers to the guest list. Yet, once the celebrations are over and the photographs are tucked into albums, many couples look back and realise there are a few things they would have changed. Some wish they had worried less, while others regret not spending enough time with loved ones. Weddings are beautiful, but they can also be emotional, stressful, and surprisingly fast-paced. Learning from others’ experiences can help engaged couples focus on what…
