Dear God, you rule over all the nations. When it seems like nations are turning away from you, we know that you will show your holiness. Your holiness will not be hidden. We can trust your promises that every nation will worship you and every knee will bow when your glory is revealed. I bow down to you, O Lord. May my life glorify your name and draw others to you. Use me to turn those in my community back to you, God. In Jesus'

8 important medical tests you should take before marriage Marriage is a beautiful and lifelong commitment, but before saying “I do,” it is important for couples to undergo important medical tests to ensure a healthy future together. These tests help in preventing potential health risks, ensuring compatibility, and preparing for a healthy family. Ignoring these screenings could lead to unforeseen medical and genetic challenges. Here are the important medical tests every couple must take. 1. Blood Group and Rhesus Factor Test Understanding blood compatibility is essential, especially for pregnancy. If a woman with Rh-negative blood type marries an Rh-positive man, their baby may develop Rhesus incompatibility, which can lead to severe health issues. 2. Genotype Compatibility Test This test is crucial to prevent sickle cell disease. If both partners have the AS, SS, or SC genotype, there is a high chance of giving birth to a child with sickle cell anemia, a painful and lifelong condition. Couples should ensure genotype compatibility before marriage. 3. HIV/AIDS Test,HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a serious disease that affects the immune system. Getting tested before marriage ensures that both partners are aware of their status and can take the necessary precautions to protect their health and that of their future children. 4. Hepatitis B and C Screening Hepatitis B and C are viral infections that affect the liver and can be transmitted through unprotected sex, blood transfusion, or from mother to child. Early detection can help in managing the disease and preventing transmission. 5. Fertility Test Many couples face fertility challenges after marriage without prior knowledge of their reproductive health. Testing for sperm count, ovulation status, and hormone levels can help in identifying any potential fertility issues early and finding possible solutions. 6. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) Screening STIs such as syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and herpes can cause complications if left untreated. They may lead to infertility, pregnancy complications, or transmission to the baby. Screening ensures early detection and treatment. 7. Genetic and Hereditary Diseases Screening Genetic disorders like cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, and Tay-Sachs disease can be passed from parents to children. A genetic screening test helps determine if either partner carries genes for inherited conditions. This makes them plan accordingly. 8. Diabetes and Hypertension Test Diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension) can affect fertility, pregnancy, and overall health. Checking for these conditions allows couples to manage their health before starting a family. These important medical tests before marriage are essential for a healthy and happy future. Couples should visit a qualified healthcare provider for these tests and seek professional advice based on the results. #health #marriage

It’s Not Only Record That Should Be Banned, Musician Himself Should Be Proscribed-Soyinka Slams NBC Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has criticized the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) over its recent decision to ban a song by Nigerian musician Eedris Abdulkareem that criticized President Bola Tinubu administration. According to a report by Punch, Soyinka expressed strong disapproval, saying that banning just the song wasn’t enough. According to him, “It’s not only the record that should be banned, the musician himself should be proscribed.” Soyinka’s comments appear to be laced with sarcasm, highlighting what he sees as excessive censorship and the growing intolerance for dissent in the country. He has previously criticized the NBC's broadcasting regulations, calling them an attack on freedom of expression and a threat to Nigeria’s creative industry. The NBC’s decision to take down Abdulkareem’s song has sparked debate nationwide. While some support the move as necessary to maintain decorum in public media, others argue it is a direct attack on free speech and creativity. Soyinka’s reaction adds to the growing criticism of how Nigerian authorities are handling political dissent, especially through music and the arts.
