25 SURE SIGNS YOU ARE READY FOR MARRIAGE


Marriage is not for boys and girls. It’s for adults—emotionally, spiritually, mentally, and financially. Many people walk into marriage unprepared and end up walking out confused. So before you say “I do,” here are 25 signs that you are truly ready for a lifelong commitment:

1. You are emotionally stable.
You're not ruled by anger, lust, jealousy, or insecurity. You know how to express emotions in healthy ways.

2. You’ve dropped d€structive habits.
You no longer struggle with addictions, irresponsibility, or patterns that could damage your future home.

3. You have a strong spiritual foundation.
You can hear God's voice, discern His will, and walk in obedience.

4. You are mature in age and mindset.
Ladies, you’re at least 23. Men, you’re at least 25. Not just biologically grown but mentally mature.

5. You are financially responsible.
You have a job, a business, or steady income that can sustain you and a family.

6. You live independently.
As a man, you don’t live off your parents. You pay your own bills and live in your own space.

7. You know how to care for others.
As a woman, you can manage yourself and others with joy—not with stress or complaints.

8. You love children.
You don’t just tolerate kids; you look forward to nurturing the next generation.

9. You’re domestically skilled.
Cooking, cleaning, and organizing are not strange to you—they’re part of your daily life.

10. You can thrive far from your family.
You're not emotionally dependent on mummy and daddy to function or make decisions.

11. You take full responsibility for your life.
You own your choices and can deal with the consequences maturely.

12. You are not controlled by your parents.
You honor them, but your life isn't dictated by their preferences.

13. You don’t yield to peer pressure.
You do what's right, even when it's unpopular.

14. You’re $exually disciplined.
You can say NO to premarital $ex—not because you’re forced, but because you value purity.

15. You honor authority.
Ladies, you're respectful and submissive—not just to a man, but to God and legitimate authority.

16. You respect women.
Men, you love your mother, honor your sisters, and treat every woman with dignity.

17. You understand money.
You know how to earn, save, invest, and manage finances without being reckless.

18. You are generous and kind.
You give with joy—not grudgingly. You're not stingy with your time, love, or money.

19. You are faithful.
You're not dating two or three people “just in case.” You're loyal and intentional.

20. You are purpose-driven.
You know what God has called you to do, and you’re taking steps daily to get there.

21. You desire to build others.
You're not just looking for someone to make you happy—you want to help your spouse fulfill destiny.

22. You have control over your $ex drive.
Your body doesn't control you—you control your body.

23. You have healed from past relationships.
You’re not bitter, wounded, or suspicious. You’ve forgiven, grown, and moved forward.

24. You’re willing to learn and grow.
You’re teachable, open to correction, and you seek wise counsel.

25. You understand that marriage is ministry.
You see marriage as a place to serve, grow, and honor God—not just to be loved or have sex.

Marriage is not an emergency. It’s a journey that requires maturity—physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, and psychological. Don’t rush into it because of pressure, age, or loneliness.

Wait until you’re ready. You’ll thank yourself later.

May God grant you the wisdom to prepare and the grace to build a godly home when the time comes.

“My Money is My Money, But His Money is Our Money?”

A Danger0us Mindset in Marriage


Ladies, let's talk.
That line might sound funny on social media, but in real life, it’s one of the quickest ways to break trust, fuel resentment, and hinder progress in your marriage.

As a marriage counselor, let me help you reset your mindset and set your marriage up for success.

1. Marriage is a Covenant, Not a Competition

Once you say "I do," you are no longer two individuals — you are one team.

That means resources, time, energy, and money should no longer be viewed as “mine vs. yours” but ours.

2. Your Money is Family Money

Whether the husband earns it or the wife does, it belongs to the home, not to one person.

Money should be pooled together to meet family needs, pursue shared goals, and build legacy.

Teamwork in finances equals peace in the home.

3. Stop Misusing 1 Timothy 5

Many wrongly use 1 Timothy 5:8 to say men must be sole providers. But context matters!

That chapter talks about supporting widows, not setting financial roles in marriage.

Verse 16 even says: “If any man or woman has widows... let them relieve them...”

Conclusion: Provision isn’t gender-specific — it’s about responsibility, not roles.

4. Scripture Over Culture

Culture may say “only the man must provide”, but the Bible never says the man must be the sole provider.

Proverbs 31 paints a picture of a resourceful, industrious woman involved in:

Agriculture

Trading and exporting

Fashion and textiles

Charity work

She was married and still actively contributed financially.

5. Marriage is a Financial Partnership

You and your spouse should:

Set shared financial goals

Create a joint budget

Discuss big purchases

Sacrifice for one another when needed

Sometimes, the wife will delay her wants so her husband can meet a need, and vice versa.
This is not weakness — this is love and wisdom.

6. Ladies, Adjust Your Mindset

Stop seeing yourself as a financial observer.
You are not a guest in your marriage — you are a co-builder.

“I’m just helping him”
“We’re building this life together”

God did not create Eve to be idle — He created her to be a helper suitable. That includes emotional, spiritual, and financial help.

7. Be a Woman of Value, Not Just Expense

You can be wealthy. You can provide.
You can start a business, own property, fund dreams, sponsor others, and bless your home.

You are not just a helpmate — you are a force for financial progress.

🙏🏾 Final Word:

Marriage thrives where selfishness d!es.
Drop the “my money vs. his money” mindset.

Pick up the “our home, our wealth, our future” mindset.

God is for your marriage, and you will not fail in Jesus’ name.

*Jimmy Swaggart Dies at 90. But the World Only Remembered the Prostitute.*

That was the SABC News headline. A man who preached to millions. A man whose music touched nations. A man whose ministry shaped generations. But the world summarized his legacy in one line:

“Tele-evangelist caught with a prostitute.”

Is it fair? No.
Is it worldly? Yes.
But is it a warning to all of us? Absolutely.

The world is not forgiving. The world does not forget. We may have peace with God, but that doesn’t mean we’ll have peace with men. We may be cleared in the court of heaven, but public memory doesn’t cleanse easily.

This is not about Jimmy Swaggart. This is about you, about me, about all of us. Ministers. Leaders. Fathers. Carriers of weight in the Kingdom.

The lesson?
Don’t mess up. Don’t play with sin. Don’t take grace as license.
People have a strange illusion that mere time cancels sin. It doesn’t. Time may blur details, but scandal sticks, especially involving a man of God.

Here’s a call to arms for ministers of the gospel

1. Engage in real, ruthless accountability—not cosmetic check-ins, but real brotherhood.

2. Guard your moral life like a man guards a nuclear code. If you fall sexually, your voice may still
echo but your credibility will collapse.

3. Handle finances with fear and trembling. Don’t manipulate the gospel for profit.

4. Build real systems around your life. Not fans. Not dependents. Not enablers. Build integrity into your daily decisions.

The measure of our anointing is not our gifting it’s our ability to remain holy when no one is watching.

Satan is patient. He doesn’t care if you preach 10,000 sermons as long as he can get you to collapse in one moment of compromise. And when it happens, your entire legacy is redefined in seconds.

If the story of Jimmy Swaggart teaches us anything it’s this: Pray to the One who is able to keep you from falling. And then, walk like you know the whole world is watching. Because they are.

God forgives. Men remember. Don’t be reckless with grace. Don’t gamble with your legacy.

Let this be a call. A warning. A fire alarm in the spirit. God still uses broken men but the consequences of public failure don’t vanish with anointed tears.

Stay clean. Stay low. Stay accountable. Stay burning.

9JA BLOOOD
Israel Adesanya’s ex-girlfriend, Charlotte Powdrell, tried to drag him to court and demand half of his fortune after they broke up.

They were never married. No kids.
Just dated for one year.

But she still wanted 50% of his wealth.

Shockingly, the court ruled in her favor… until they discovered something wild:

Israel Adesanya’s net worth was listed as $0.00, and he’s never even owned a bank account.

Turns out, all of his $15M fortune is managed by his mother, Taiwo Adesanya who’s been in charge of his finances since day one.

Since Charlotte is worth $1 million, the court decided to split her money instead and she was ordered to pay Israel $500,000.

From trying to bag a payout to writing a check
Looks like Adesanya took notes from Achraf Hakimi and played the game better.

STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE

AT BRICS SUMMIT, PRESIDENT TINUBU CALLS FOR REEVALUATION OF GLOBAL GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE, FINANCE AND HEALTH CARE SYSTEMS



President Bola Tinubu has called for a reevaluation of the current global governance structure and the financial and healthcare systems, urging greater equity and inclusion for low-income and emerging economies, particularly in Africa.

At the 17th meeting of the Global South and the Emerging Economies bloc, BRICS, on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the President stated that environmental degradation, the climate crisis, and healthcare inequalities should receive more attention, as they contribute to slowing growth and development.

President Tinubu, invited to the summit by Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva, stated that Nigeria supports the BRICS position on the need to focus on collective, fair, and equitable global development.

Nigeria became the ninth partner country of BRICS in January 2025, joining Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Thailand, Uganda, and Uzbekistan. The 16th BRICS Summit in Kazan in October 2024 created the partner-country category.

President Tinubu said, "Nigeria, therefore, associates with what I have heard today and all that has happened in BRICS. The next issues are financial restructuring and reevaluation of the global structure."

He noted that environmental degradation, climate crisis, and global healthcare inequalities were shared concerns pertinent to Africa.

"Africa has contributed the least to global emissions but suffers the most," he added.

President Tinubu emphasised the need for a new path of justice, anchored in fairness, sustainable technology transfer, and accessible financing, so that emerging economies can fully benefit from various initiatives.

"The African continent is creating the path through the African Carbon Market Initiative and the Great Green Wall. We believe that COP-30 will strengthen our resolve to adopt a strategic approach to achieving a healthy global environment.

"Nigeria strongly believes in South-South cooperation. We can, therefore, not be passive participants in global decision-making on financial restructuring, debt forgiveness, climate change, environmental issues, and healthcare.

"We must be the architects of a future that addresses the specific needs and concerns of youths, who represent 70 per cent of our population in Nigeria. Therefore, Nigeria remains guided by our long-term vision, 2050, and nationally determined contribution.

"We are taking bold steps to accelerate renewable energy adoption, mainstream climate action, promote nature-based solutions, strengthen urban resilience, champion South-South cooperation, align with the global renewal framework and achieve universal health coverage for all," the President stated.

President Tinubu also said that addressing non-communicable diseases must remain a collective health concern.

"As we approach COP-30 and look to strengthen the global health system, we believe the BRICS must not only be a bloc for emerging economies but also a beacon for emerging solutions and resolutions rooted in solidarity, self-reliance, sustainability, and shared prosperity of a common future.

"Nigeria reaffirms its commitment to strategic collaboration that translates into sustainable and inclusive development for all," he noted.

Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Mr Wale Edun, the Minister of Finance, accompanied the President to the summit.

In exercising its pro tempore presidency of BRICS, the Brazilian government announced Nigeria's formal admission as a partner country on January 17, 2025.

As the world's sixth-most populous country and one of Africa's major economies, Nigeria shares convergent interests with other BRICS members.

Nigeria plays an active role in strengthening South-South cooperation and reforming global governance, which are top priorities during Brazil's current presidency.

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE

PRESIDENT TINUBU SIGNS  FOUR TAX BILLS INTO LAW TOMORROW

President Bola Tinubu will, on Thursday, sign into law four groundbreaking tax reform bills that will transform Nigeria’s fiscal and revenue framework.

The four bills, the Nigeria Tax Bill, the Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, the Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, and the Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Bill, were passed by the National Assembly after extensive consultations with various interest groups and stakeholders.

When the new tax laws become operational, they are expected to significantly transform tax administration in the country, leading to increased revenue generation, improved business environment, and a boost in domestic and foreign investments.

The historic presidential assent to the bills at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, will be witnessed by the Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Senate Majority Leader, House Majority Leader, chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance, and his House counterpart.

The Chairman of the Governors Forum, the Chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum, the Minister of Finance and Coordination Minister of the Economy, and the Attorney General of the Federation will also attend the ceremony.

One of the four bills is the Nigeria Tax Bill (Ease of Doing Business), which aims to consolidate Nigeria’s fragmented tax laws into a harmonised statute.

By reducing the multiplicity of taxes and eliminating duplication, the bill will enhance the ease of doing business, reduce taxpayer compliance burdens, and create a more predictable fiscal environment.

The second bill, the Nigeria Tax Administration Bill, will establish a uniform legal and operational framework for tax administration across federal, state, and local governments.

The Nigeria Revenue Service (Establishment) Bill, the third bill, repeals the current Federal Inland Revenue Service Act and creates a more autonomous and performance-driven national revenue agency— the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS). It defines the NRS’s expanded mandate, including non-tax revenue collection, and lays out transparency, accountability, and efficiency mechanisms.

The fourth bill is the Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Bill. It provides for a formal governance structure to facilitate cooperation between revenue authorities at all levels of government. It introduces essential oversight mechanisms, including establishing a Tax Appeal Tribunal and an Office of the Tax Ombudsman.
