Today being Throwback Thursday, we are time travelling to the family with a ton of drama. (And also not forgetting that Christmas is around the corner and family members will be cajoled into living under one roof. Urgh! the frustration.) The Nigerian sitcom showed what life was like in a big family: love presented in the form of drama and fights. This is due, in part, to the clashing of different personalities, which is – and has always been – a prerequisite for disagreements. Adding fuel to the already ferocious flames was the presence of three wives. A polygamous home is…

We love female go-getters and love it, even more, when we see them win and achieve their hearts desires and success in their respected field. In the Nigerian movie industry, more and more women are at the helm of movie production despite it being a male-dominated industry. One of such women is our Woman Crush Wednesday, Uche Jumbo. Having witnessed her brilliant acting skills on-screen for years, Uche has switched roles from acting to producing movies through her production company, Uche Jumbo Studios. Teaming up with another veteran actress, Ini Edo, the movie, Heaven on My Mind, is set to…
My dear daughter, To have a successful career, always take stock of your progress and keep your goal in sight. Have in mind who you are, where you are and where you are headed. If along the way you perceive that you’re heading for a dead end, make a detached appraisal of the situation and what needs to be done. From my experience, an in-depth appraisal precedes a much-needed mindset overhaul. This helps to get your mind updated to the changes and makes adaptation easy. But, my darling, to get to your predetermined destination, you need to stay focused on…
With a gross domestic growth (GDP) of 0.55% in the second quarter of 2017, Nigeria exited its first economic recession in over 20 years. To know how we managed to get out of the doldrums of economic comatose, the National Bureau of Statistics, (NBS), said in its report that the economy grew at 0.55% on a year-on-year. The escape growth figure showed that it was only 2.04% higher than the rate recorded in the corresponding quarter of 2016 (-1.49%) and higher by 1.46% points from rate recorded in the preceding quarter. While we are still in a positive territory, there…

To scale through, these 5 tips shouldn’t be overlooked.…
Reading 1 1 Cor 2:10b-16 Brothers and sisters: The Spirit scrutinizes everything, even the depths of God. Among men, who knows what pertains to the man except his spirit that is within? Similarly, no one knows what pertains to God except the Spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand the things freely given us by God. And we speak about them not with words taught by human wisdom, but with words taught by the Spirit, describing spiritual realities in spiritual terms. Now the natural…
My subject is nothing new. It’s been around since Adam and Eve. Like the snake and the apple. It’s the enabled kid who throws a ball through a window, while the enablers, his parents, praise him for his ‘rifle arm’. And then that kid has no regard for others’ property. It’s the kid who tells mommy and daddy all the dirt on fellow siblings And is rewarded for it with carte blanche for continuing to do so and then becomes the ‘office snitch.’ It’s the rich kid who grows up with a ‘silver spoon’ in his mouth, who…
The Corse De La Maria Chapel Catholic Station, Nkwerre, was built in 1998 in honour and in loving memory of the Late Chief Emmanuel Onyechere Osigwe Anyiam-Osigwe.

Dr Gregory Orchiagha and has remained an out-station where masses are held on Sundays and some days of the week specifically Tuesdays and Wednesdays presently. The church has over the last twenty years held their harvest, every year on January 1.…
Holy Humour Naked Truth A pastor visited his church members one afternoon. At one house, it was obvious that someone was home, but nobody came to the door even when the pastor knocked several times. Finally, he took out his card, wrote ‘Revelation 3:20’ on the back and stuck it on the front door. ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me.’ (Rev 3:20) After the next church service, the card turned up in the collection plate.…
View this post on Instagram When DANG @dangnetwork called me to do this , I was scared out of my mind , I did not know if I was ready to be that vulnerable YET . I however knew it was for a greater purpose beyond me, I was inspired to share my experience for other people going through the motions, the emotions and feelings they probably couldn’t describe or even understand… There is a lot that couldn’t fit into the short video but I want anyone suffering from Depression to know that there is HOPE and HELP.…
