Earlier this year, the successful, yet controversial, media personality, Linda Ikeji, announced her new motherhood status with an excited Instagram post. And although this news sparked a ton of controversy – with many online trolls claiming she’s a hypocrite because of her stance on celibacy – many were excited for her.

However, another wave of controversy was sparked when she revealed her son’s name: Jayce Jeremy. Many were quick to point the billionaire socialite, Sholaye Jeremi, as the father. Initially, she didn’t…
Reading 1 1 Cor 11:17-26, 33 Brothers and sisters: In giving this instruction, I do not praise the fact that your meetings are doing more harm than good. First of all, I hear that when you meet as a Church there are divisions among you, and to a degree I believe it; there have to be factions among you in order that also those who are approved among you may become known. When you meet in one place, then, it is not to eat the Lord’s supper, for in eating, each one goes ahead with his own supper, and one goes…
Holy Humour Helpful Prayer Billy had been misbehaving and was sent to his room. After a while, he emerged and informed his mother that he had thought it over and then said a prayer. “Fine”, said the pleased mother. “If you ask God to help you not misbehave, He will help you.” “Oh, I didn’t ask Him to help me not misbehave,” said Johnny. “I asked Him to help you put up with me.” Sunday Quote If God is good, half the Bible is libel.―Michael R.

I remember a certain glass verse stuffed with colourful hibiscus ravishing and riveting “don’t touch this vase, I starved to buy it” mama would always warn. But I was just ‘five’ curious, adventurous, dexterous. One day, Mama returned from daily hustles, met the glass vase in fragments. An unintentional booboo. Spurred by ingenious curiosity. It broke mama’s heart. Mama yelled. Grinding her teeth and snarling under gruesome breaths. “May your children ever disobey you!” She raved, saying more vile things I can’t remember now. At night, mama washed my feet and body, clothed, and fed me. The broken vase didn’t…
…Continued from last week. At that moment I could feel my heart racing and couldn’t help but stare at him intently. Everything in me wanted to kiss him but I did not want to seem ‘slot-like’ so I suppressed my emotions. The sound of the intercom ringing jolted us back to reality as he stepped away to answer it. As I was regaining my composure, I noticed him better. He wore a navy blue suit and a white turtleneck t-shirt. I couldn’t hold in my compliment. “You look really sharp today doctor Obi,” I said, “are you going somewhere?” “Thanks”…

…Continued from last week. There was a long, chilling, silence. “Why, Dapo, why? So, all our plans were mere dreams?” “I’m sorry Florence”, was all Dapo could say, scratching his head. Flo, believe me, I still love you. I don’t know how… I don’t know why… believe me when I say I’m sorry, I really am”. Florence raised her head. Her eyes caught the time. It was exactly three hours after she got there. “I’m going home,” she said, getting up. “I’ll drop you, let me get the key”. It was a silent drive home. “Turn off the engine and…
