THE PROFOUND SIGNIFICANT OF EASTER: A CELEBRATION OF REDEMPTION AND RENEWAL!

Easter, a joyous and sacred celebration observed by millions worldwide, holds profound significance that extends beyond the festive traditions and merriment. At its core, Easter represents the pivotal events of Jesus Christ's death and resurrection, symbolizing the ultimate triumph of life over death and light over darkness.

The narrative of Easter is rooted in the Christian faith, where Jesus Christ, the Son of God, willingly surrendered to crucifixion, bearing the weight of humanity's sins. His death on the cross signified the ultimate sacrifice, providing redemption for all who would believe in Him. The resurrection of Jesus on the third day, as documented in the New Testament, stands as a testament to His divine power and the promise of eternal life.

The symbolism embedded in the Easter story speaks directly to the human condition. The death of Jesus represents the death to sin, an acknowledgment of the imperfections and transgressions that separate us from a holy God. Through faith in Christ, believers are called to a life of repentance and spiritual rebirth, symbolically dying to sin and embracing a path of righteousness.

The resurrection of Jesus embodies the promise of new life and the hope that believers can live a sinless life through the empowerment of Christ. It signifies the victory over sin and death, offering believers the assurance of forgiveness and the strength to pursue a life that honors God. This transformative journey is central to the Christian faith, encouraging believers to reflect on their spiritual walk and renew their commitment to living according to Christ's teachings.

As Christians celebrate Easter, they are reminded of the profound love and grace extended to humanity through Jesus Christ. The season invites introspection, gratitude, and a renewed focus on spiritual growth. It serves as a powerful reminder that, through faith, believers can experience the joy of salvation and the peace that comes from knowing they are forgiven and loved.

In essence, Easter is not just a celebration of past events but a living testament to the enduring hope and redemption found in Jesus Christ. It calls believers to embrace the fullness of life in Christ, to live out their faith with purpose, and to share the message of hope and redemption with a world in need.

Reallife Relationship and Marriage Counsel - RRMC

The contrast between dogs and cats offers a brilliant metaphor for human behavior—and a powerful life lesson.

Gratitude vs. Entitlement

When a dog is treated well, it responds with gratitude and loyalty. It sees the goodness it receives and concludes, “This person must be amazing.”
On the other hand, when a cat is treated the same way, it can develop a sense of entitlement. It assumes, “I must be amazing for this person to treat me like this.”

Humans behave the same way in different circumstances—

Some people, when helped or blessed, show humility and appreciation.

Others, when given the same help, develop pride and arrogance, thinking the world revolves around them.

Don’t let success, favor, or love from others make you proud and entitled like the cat. Instead, like the dog, recognize the hands that feed you, support you, and love you—and respond with gratitude, humility, and loyalty.

Gratitude elevates relationships; entitlement erodes them.
Choose to see the blessing, not just the benefits.

TWO IS BETTER THAN ONE!
In today’s world, relationships can sometimes feel like just another item on life’s to-do list. But when you strip away the noise, one simple truth remains: two is better than one. That’s especially true when it comes to marriage.
Marriage isn't just about the fairytale moments or the highlight reels on social media. It’s about showing up—day in, day out—for your partner. It’s about building something that lasts through the highs, the lows, and all the everyday stuff in between.
So, why is two better than one?
For starters, life hits different when you have someone by your side. A strong marriage offers emotional support, companionship, and a safe space to be yourself. When one person is down, the other steps in. When one wins, both celebrate. It’s not just about sharing a life, it’s about multiplying the joy and dividing the stress.
Marriage also brings out the best in people. Living with someone who knows you inside and out means constantly being inspired, challenged, and encouraged to grow. Your partner becomes your teammate, your cheerleader, and sometimes, your biggest mirror. The journey isn’t always easy, but that’s what makes it meaningful.
Married couples often enjoy better mental and physical health, increased financial stability, and longer life expectancy. But more than statistics, it’s the everyday connection, the late-night talks, inside jokes, shared goals, that makes marriage so powerful.
Of course, no relationship is perfect. Marriage takes work, patience, and a whole lot of communication. But when both partners are committed, the rewards are undeniable.
So whether you're married, dating, or dreaming about the future, remember this: love isn’t about finding someone to complete you, it’s about choosing someone to do life with. Because at the end of the day, two really is better than one.

LAGOS POLICE SPREADING FAKE NEWS IN FAILED BID TO COVER ITS ATROCIOUS FRAME-UP OF QUADRI ALABI.

Our attention has been drawn to a false and provocative statement issued by the Lagos State Police Command in which the Command unsuccessfully attempted to mislead the public on the fabricated case they initiated against Quadri Alabi.

The statement is not only laughable, it is ridiculous. It is embarrassing to see the police spread disinformation and fake news about an innocent Nigerian child.

Nigerians will note that in our previous statements, we disclosed that our client was abducted by two ‘Area Boys’ named Lege and Baba Waris while he was on his way home from work and dumped at the Amukoko Divisional Police Station.

These same Area Boys and their cohorts have been been harassing our client since 2023 in their effort to extort “their share” of the donations made to him after he stood in front of the convoy of Mr. Peter Obi.

In its statement, the police claimed that Quadri was arrested in connection with street fighting.

They also claimed that some properties were damaged, and that some persons were also robbed. According to the police, Quadri was identified by some people in the community and by the victims.

First, we wish to restate that Quadri is not 18 years old as mischievously parroted by the police. He is 17 as contained in his birth certificate and attested to by his mother.

He was born on the 29th day of September, 2007.

Second, Quadri was not involved in street fighting and did not rob anyone, he also did not damage anyone’s property.

Third, there was no time that our client was identified by any victim of the alleged crimes. The police should tell the public when and where the identification was done and the method used.

How was Quadri identified by the alleged victims when no identification parade was conducted as required by law, given that the alleged offences were said to have been committed at about 10pm?

Fourth, the police in their statement said that our client was arrested, but they failed to state who exactly arrested him and the place he was arrested. Their silence on these key points is quite revealing.

Sixth, the so-called casemates of Quadri are adults who are not known to him. The police failed to disclose the relationship or connection between Quadri and the four adults who were remanded along with him.

We should also state for the records that the police had detained Quadri for about a week in the police cell before unlawfully taking him before a Magistrate for remand.

It is the law that once the permissible constitutional limit for detaining a suspect has passed, a subsequent order of remand cannot cure the infringement.

It is preposterous that despite the Legal Advice issued by the Learned Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Lagos State exonerating Quadri, and his subsequent discharge by the Court, the Lagos State Police Command rather than exude remorse, has chosen the ignoble path of doubling down on its acts of perfidy, shamelessness, lawlessness, and utter contempt for justice and the truth.

We condemn this gross act of recklessness and irresponsibility by the police.

By taking this path, the Nigeria Police Force is reminding the country that it is very far from redemption.

We shall meet the Commissioner of Police, CP Olohundare Moshood Jimoh, the DPO of Amukoko CSP Olaniran Ismaila O., the IPO Inspector Odigbe Samuel, and others in the court in the coming days to seek redress and adequate compensation for Quadri.

We will also file a formal complaint with the Police Service Commission against the lawless DPO of Amukoko.

Nigeria is our country, we will not allow agents of impunity to get away with such abominable oppression of a Nigerian child.

If You Marry for Love—You Lose. Marriage Is Not Romance. It’s a Strategic Investment.

Let’s stop deceiving ourselves.

Love is not enough.

Romance won’t sustain you.

And marriage built on feelings will collapse under pressure.

Because marriage isn’t an emotional experiment.

It’s a power move.

1. Feelings Fade—Structure Stays

You’re happy today. Great.

But what happens when money gets tight?

What happens when you lose your job?

What happens when she wakes up and says, “I’m not in love anymore”?

If your marriage was built on butterflies, expect it to collapse once the wind changes.

Love is a spark. But marriage needs fuel.

Vision. Structure. Alignment. Sacrifice. Strategy.

2. If You’re 70 and You Marry 30—Your Household Is 50

Let’s talk logic.

You’re wise. She’s fresh.

But instead of raising your stock, she drops the average.

You’re thinking legacy—she’s thinking TikTok.

You’re building wealth—she’s building “influencer reels.”

(She’s not even ready to build it into a media business.)

You’ve seen war—she’s crying because you forgot to comment on her new selfie.

And now you’re stuck in a marriage that drags you backward.

Because you married vibes—not vision.

3. Marriage Is a Merger—Not a Movie

When two become one, it’s not about hugs and kisses.

It’s about merging empires. Consolidating influence.

Combining assets. Multiplying momentum.

Even the Bible said:

“One will chase a thousand, two will chase ten thousand.”

But what if the “two” is a liability?

What if she’s chasing dopamine instead of purpose?

What if she’s more obsessed with matching pajamas than matching values?

Now, you’re running with dead weight.

Fighting alone. Providing alone. Planning alone.

And she’s somewhere saying,
“I don’t like forcing things.”

4. Modern Girls Don’t Grind—They Ghost

Let’s be real.

Many modern women want:

• Love with no labor
• Comfort with no contribution
• Leadership with no loyalty

She wants a soft life—but won’t lift a finger.

She’s jobless, but has high taste.

She’s broke, but her demands come in six figures.

She says you’re stressing her mental health—because you asked about her career goals.

Try to build with her, and she’ll say,
“This isn’t flowing naturally. I need space.”

5.Her Submission Is a “Maybe”

Her obligations are “Optional”

Today’s woman wants:

• To reply when she feels like
• To submit if the vibe is right
• To bear children only when convenient
• To pause the relationship if she’s “not in the mood”

Any hint of hardship, she’s gone.

Any serious talk, she’s “emotionally unavailable.”

Any call for accountability, she’s “being controlled.”

And if you dare lead with firmness?

She’ll tell Twitter you’re a narcissist.

6. Dysfunction Is the New Normal

Many modern girls were raised in chaos.

Divorced parents. Absent fathers.

Traumatized mothers.

And instead of healing, they brought that chaos into dating.

So when you show up with purpose and structure?

She calls it “too much.”

She wants a soft man who’s strong.

A rich man who’s humble.

A loyal man who doesn’t ask questions.

She wants everything—but gives almost nothing.

So Here’s the Brutal Truth:

Marriage is a system.

If you don’t build it with strategy, it will collapse in drama.

Stop marrying for butterflies.

Start marrying for alignment.

For values. For vision.

Pick a partner who multiplies your purpose—not one who multiplies your pain.

Because at the end of the day…

It’s not who makes your heart skip.

It’s who helps you finish the race.

Marry wisely.

Remember—when it finally comes to a divorce, obligations are enforceable by law, but no one can compel her to keep loving you and riding your joystick that’s insisting she’s the best rider it has ever seen.

Truly relationship is not for the faint hearted

The Angel in the Form of an Old Woman Sent to Save Me from Marrying a Witch
Episode 1
Written By Jerry Smith.

My name is Timothy, and I've been dating a girl named Prisca for about three years now. We met at church, and from the very start, there was something captivating about her.

There was a quiet strength to her, an air of independence that drew me in. She told me she had no family or relatives, that she had been surviving on her own in the city for years. At first, I was curious, but over time, I admired her for her resilience and determination.

Our relationship blossomed quickly. We were inseparable, spending hours talking, laughing, and dreaming about the future. Eventually, I proposed to her, and she said yes. Our wedding was only a month away. I could barely contain my excitement; I was ready to start this new chapter of my life with the woman I loved.

One Saturday afternoon, we decided to go shopping together to pick up a few things for the house. As we wandered through the store, selecting everything from plates to curtains, I couldn't help but smile at how effortlessly we worked together. Everything felt so perfect. She was everything I had ever wanted in a partner: beautiful, strong, and kind-hearted.

We were nearly finished when we made our way back to the car, our hands full of shopping bags. The sun was getting hotter, and I could feel the warmth of the moment. But as we got closer to our car, something caught my eye—a figure standing next to it.

An old woman.

She looked frail and worn out, her clothes tattered as if she had been standing there for a long time. Her face was wrinkled, with deep lines carved into her skin, and her eyes were tired but filled with something I couldn't quite place.

Prisca’s face expression changed instantly. She stopped in her tracks, her body stiffening. Her expression hardened, and her eyes narrowed in a way I had never seen before.

“What do you want?!” she screamed, her voice sharp and full of anger.

I blinked, taken aback by the sudden shift in her mood. I looked at the old woman, who didn’t seem to be bothered by the outburst. Instead, she calmly turned towards me.

“Please, young man, may I have a bottle of water?” the woman asked softly, her voice raspy yet gentle.

I hesitated, glancing at Prisca. Her face was twisted with disgust, her lips curled into a sneer.

“Don’t trust her, Timothy,” she said, her voice low but firm. “She’s trouble.”

I looked back at the woman, who seemed harmless enough. Something in her eyes made me pause, and without thinking too much, I reached into the car and grabbed a bottle of water from the backseat.

“Here,” I said, handing it to her. “It’s just water.”

The old woman took the bottle gently, her hands shaking slightly as she held it. She didn’t immediately drink it, instead, she placed her hand on the bottle, closing her eyes as if deep in thought. A moment passed before she slowly handed it back to me.

“Use it to wash your face,” she said softly, her voice almost a whisper.

I froze, looking at the water in my hand.

Prisca stepped forward, her voice now sharp and commanding with a little touch of fear. “No! Don’t listen to her, Timothy. She’s a con artist, I know it!”

But the old woman’s gaze was intense, almost pleading. “Please, just wash your face. Trust me,” she insisted...

I was still looking looking at the old woman confused when I glanced at prisca and noti...
