Edo State Awaits Supreme Court Verdict: A Test of Democracy and Judicial Integrity

By News Corner Nigeria

As the people of Edo State hold their breath in anticipation, the Supreme Court is set to deliver its final judgment today on the governorship election tussle between Barr. Asue Ighodalo of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Senator Monday Okpevbolo of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This legal battle has spanned months, beginning from the Election Petition Tribunal and moving through the Appeal Court. At every stage, the core of the matter remained the same — did the election reflect the true will of the Edo people?

To many within the state and beyond, the answer is clear. The general sentiment among the electorate is that the PDP won the election with a convincing margin. However, what followed the voting exercise has raised eyebrows and stirred intense debate. Allegations of post-election manipulation have left many disillusioned and skeptical about the electoral process.

From Benin City to the grassroots across the 18 local government areas, a mood of quiet reflection has settled. Residents are not just waiting for a court decision; they are waiting to see if justice still has meaning in Nigeria’s democracy. The verdict tomorrow is not just about two political gladiators — it is about the sanctity of the ballot and the credibility of the nation's democratic institutions.

This Supreme Court judgment will set a crucial precedent. It will determine whether elections in Nigeria are merely ceremonial or if they genuinely empower the people to choose their leaders. A ruling that affirms transparency and respects the will of the people will restore confidence in the system. Conversely, a decision perceived as unjust could deepen public apathy and erode trust in both the judiciary and the electoral process.

As Edo watches and waits, one thing is clear: tomorrow’s ruling will echo far beyond the court chambers. It will either strengthen or shake the foundations of Nigeria’s elections process.

The nation is watching. History is about to be made.

10 THINGS EVERY WOMAN MUST LEARN BEFORE BECOMING A WIFE”


Dear sister,
Marriage is not for girls — it's for women who are ready in mind, spirit, and attitude. You don’t just wish your way into a happy marriage; you prepare for it. If you want to be a blessing in your husband’s life, not a burden, then take these to heart:

1. Learn How to Speak to a Man

A man is not your younger brother, houseboy, or classmate. Learn respectful communication. If you talk down on a man, mock his efforts, or constantly challenge his leadership — don’t expect peace.

Do this: Practice respect now in your words, tone, and timing. If you can’t honor him, don’t marry him.

2. Define Your Life Vision

You were not born just to cook, clean, and bear children. You have a calling! Without a personal sense of purpose, you’ll lose your identity in marriage.

Ask yourself: What are my goals? What’s my assignment on earth? Marriage should complement your purpose, not replace it.

3. Don’t Be Financially Idle

If you’re waiting for a man to carry all your financial responsibilities while you do nothing, you’re not preparing to be a wife — you’re preparing to be a burden.

Start now: Learn a trade, pursue a career, run a business. Be an asset, not a liability.

4. Become a Woman of Prayer

Marriage is not a luxury cruise — it’s a battlefield of destinies. A prayerless woman is a powerless woman.

Strengthen your altar: Build a lifestyle of prayer now. Intercede for your future home, children, and husband even before they arrive.

5. Take Care of Your Health and Appearance

Looking unkempt in your 20s is not cute — it’s careless. Beauty isn’t everything, but looking fresh, neat, and healthy shows that you value yourself.

Practical tip: Eat clean, exercise, rest well, dress well, smell good. A wife should be spiritually deep and physically attractive.

6. Learn the Art of Cooking

Your husband doesn’t expect restaurant-level meals, but cooking well is a basic life skill that helps keep the home joyful and united.

Start experimenting: Learn new recipes, local dishes, and healthy meals. Be creative in the kitchen — it’s a love language.

7. Understand Your Body and $exuality

No, don’t experiment with sin. But ignorance is not purity — it’s a setup for frustration.

Get educated: Read about your anatomy, menstrual cycle, $exual expectations in marriage. Books like Every Woman can guide you. Knowledge will help you confidently meet your husband's needs and enjoy the experience too.

8. Build Emotional Maturity

Can you handle conflict without shouting? Do you know how to manage jealousy, anger, and pressure? Marriage exposes every hidden character flaw.

Work on this: Learn emotional intelligence, forgiveness, and patience. A wise woman builds her home with grace.

9. Break Dependency on External Validation

If you need constant attention, praise, or social media likes to feel good, marriage won’t fix that. Your husband is not your happiness factory.

Start within: Find your confidence in God, grow your self-worth, and enter marriage as a whole person.

10. Understand That Marriage Is Service, Not Just Status

Marriage is not a crown to flaunt — it's a commitment to serve. If you’re focused only on the wedding day and not the lifelong journey, you’re not ready.

Shift your mindset: Learn humility, submission, teamwork, and responsibility. Prepare to give, not just receive.

Final Words:

Marriage is a garden — what you sow into it is what you’ll harvest. Prepare intentionally, spiritually, emotionally, and mentally. Don’t just wish for a happy home — build yourself to be a pillar in one.

May you enter marriage as a prepared woman, not just a pretty bride.

INTROSPECTION

Connecting life to a classroom is essential for learning and growth through every season. Learning involves behaviour change; without change, you haven’t learned the lesson. You can use introspection to examine how the mind works, and through serious conscious participation, you can explore your biases, self-justifications, and reasoning in various situations. Consider how you respond when alone versus in social settings and what values guide your decisions. Which ideas originate from culture? Which comes from a conscious awareness of God in the present moment instead of drifting through life. Capturing every thought in obedience to Christ requires a strategic approach to thinking, which includes establishing boundaries.
How do you think about the things you dislike? What do you try to avoid? Where does your mind wander when you're idle? Noticing these different patterns involves harnessing the power of introspection by examining yourself and looking inward. What is your weakness, and what is your strength? Often, they lie at opposite ends of the spectrum; one counters the other, revealing the range of behaviour created by thought. How do thought and feeling relate? What brings you joy, and what makes you feel less than good? While emotions shouldn't dictate our lives, we should be guided by intention. However, the way we are wired is connected to our emotions.
Observing emotional states, what mental state makes you unresourceful, or when you are the most resourceful, what triggers different responses? This can only be discovered through introspection. Many people are not conscious of themselves. What concepts are you using in your thinking? What questions is the mind asking? What questions are not being asked? Why did you choose to do that over another thing? Why does that person elicit a specific response from you? It is something the mind has perceived. Different people carry different energy, and being able to discern what it is in them creates an attitude of heart.

Connecting how the energy of two people creates a certain ambience, studying this and how it changes. Like water has two components, oxygen and hydrogen, it is similar to the chemical effects of different people. Certain attitudes of the heart may create defensiveness or encourage openness. Why is that? Do you observe what effects that has? What subjects change from person to person? What is the range of ideas? Who sparks inspiration or a willingness to rise? The company you keep is vital; hanging out with people who have no regard for time affects your life. You must create a life such that when you go to bed at night, you can honestly say the day was good. What kind of day would that look like? Is it disciplined without any time wasted? People want to put you in their prison, where all your time is taken up by their values. When we are not living in line with our own values, it creates disorder and does not bring joy. You need to observe this. Because people value different things than you do, this is where clashes can arise
We can observe this in various aspects of life, from work ethic and money to relationships. We all have different perceptions of reality; if one views it solely through a materialistic lens, one won't recognise the spiritual dimension. Since our world is physical, some may believe that this is all there is, while others shape their understanding of reality based on diverse concepts of God — from believing there is no God to viewing God as Jesus Christ, Buddha, the self, or various deities. This belief system influences how people design their lives and shapes their distinct values. A purely materialistic outlook limits individuals to what they can see with the physical eye, leading them to perceive anyone with opposing values as peculiar. Observe how they respond to life; it tends to be centered around carnal desires, lacking any consideration for how the spirit influences our existence. Yet, this is the mindset that keeps them deceived.
On the other hand, you might encounter those who are deeply spiritual; they perceive the material world as secondary, believing that everything relies on a spiritual dimension and that all occurrences are tied to a spiritual connection. This represents one end of the spectrum, while I believe that spiritual and material aspects must be balanced. God created the material world from the spiritual, as everything visible originated from the invisible—trees, sky, planets, and people all had a beginning with God’s creation. Our purpose in life is to live from the spirit and transform it into substance. This is how we can lead a full and happy life, which is how we are all designed to function.

Not from physical things; first, we are designed to live by faith. That’s when you see with your spiritual eyes things that are not yet tangible and work to produce them. Living this way is a superimposing lifestyle. Living from a materialistic paradigm, or a spiritual one, if it is not converted, is dead. We want to make these observations using introspection to see how much is being converted. Love can be converted into a tangible product in everything you do when you function from the spirit and convert it to benefit others. That is living the highest life and making Jesus tangible, for it is from Him we move and have our being, and for His purpose, we were created. By using the power of introspection to study all your motivations—your whys and ways of thinking—you can progress through the classroom of life’s levels.

COLD UNTIL AUGUST - TAKE NOTE:

Starting tomorrow at 5:00 AM: for 27 hours we will experience the APHELION PHENOMENON.

The Earth will be very far from the Sun .

We cannot see the phenomenon, but we CAN feel its impact. It will last until the month of August.

We will have colder weather than ever before, which can lead to flu, coughing, difficulty breathing, etc.

We must boost our immunity by using plenty of vitamins and supplements to strengthen our health.

The distance from the Earth to the Sun is normally 5 light-minutes or 90 million km.

During the Aphelion phenomenon, we are 152 million km away from the Sun — that’s 66% further.

The air will become colder, and our bodies are not used to this temperature — it is a significant difference.

We must maintain our health as best we can. Whether it is cloudy or sunny, the cold will increase just the same!!!

Please share this information with all your family and friends, as many people as possible, so they too can take precautions.

LET'S TAKE CARE OF OURSELVES!!

I function with supernatural strength and ability always. Nothing and no one can hurt or harm me, for my sufficiency is of God. My body was fashioned for the Lord’s presence; it is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, sickness and disease have no place in me.
