My Pearl, From the very first moment, you made me feel seen — truly, deeply adored. And now that we’re married, it’s even more surreal. I find myself smiling at the littlest things: the way your eyes soften when you look at me, the sound of your laughter echoing through our shared space, the warmth of your arms wrapped around me at night. Being your partner feels like stepping into the most beautiful chapter of my life. You have awakened in me a version of love I never knew existed — the kind that dances in the quiet, thrives in the ordinary, and sings even on the rainy days. This is my humble attempt to say thank you — thank you for choosing me, for cherishing me, for making me feel like I matter every single day. I hope to be all of that and more for you. You are my heart’s favorite rhythm, my soul’s safest place. And with every breath I take, I promise to love you in ways both grand and subtle — to adore you endlessly, fiercely, and faithfully. Yours, in every heartbeat, Hubby

When the human body is deprived of food for long enough—typically 14 to 24 hours—it enters a process called autophagy, which means “self-eating.” In this state, the body begins to break down and recycle old, damaged, or diseased cells, including those associated with aging, inflammation, and potentially even diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's. This natural detox and repair system helps clear out cellular waste, faulty proteins, and dead mitochondria, effectively cleaning the body from the inside out. It’s a biological survival mechanism that not only conserves energy but also renews tissues and strengthens immunity. Discovered by Japanese scientist Yoshinori Ohsumi, this process earned the 2016 Nobel Prize and has since become a growing field in health and longevity science. Occasional or intermittent fasting may boost this process, helping the body reset and rejuvenate—but it’s not suitable for everyone and should be approached with medical guidance.

Evang. Mike Bamiloye drums support for Gaise Baba X Lawrence Oyor's NO TURNING BACK song amid criticism spreading like ωildfiяe. 👇👇👇 🎵 Never Going Back – A Soundtrack for This Generation So Never Going Back by Gaise Baba and Lawrence Oyor, hit the internet and it went viral, young people love it, but recently, I have been seeing videos of a pastor and some Christians criticizing the song and I can’t stop thinking about the message of the song and the reactions it has sparked amongst us christians . Here’s the thing: teenagers and young adults today are some of the most difficult people to reach with the gospel. Why? Because they’re constantly being influenced by friends, social media, entertainment, and everything in between. In a world that glamorizes drugs, promiscuity, money-worship, and “love” that fades faster than a Snapchat story, we finally get a song that boldly centers Jesus and personal transformation, that our youths are vibing too and some of us are criticizing it? What is wrong with us? Let’s take a step back. The lyrics say: "Ife Jesu lo wa mi ri, to gbami ku o"—“The love of Jesus sought me, found me, and died for me.” That’s the gospel, in Yoruba rhythm and sound! Yet all some people can talk about is Gaise’s hair color, his blinks, the headband on Lawrence’s head and the dance steps in the song. Really? Someone said, “I go narrow, dem think say I no know road o.” Isn’t that what the Bible teaches? Narrow is the path that leads to life. Didn’t Jesus say He came for the sick, the lost, the sinners? Will every gospel singer be Dunsin and Nathaniel? Instead of focusing on the outward appearance of the ministers, what if we focused our hearts on praying that: Out of 4 million streams, at least 400,000 youths would genuinely surrender to Jesus. Another 400,000 who are still searching would encounter the Holy Spirit and find salvation. The rest would be stirred to rededicate their lives and stay rooted in Christ. Wouldn’t that be worth celebrating? Here’s the truth: whether we like it or not, someone is influencing your children, your teenagers, and your youth group. If they’re not listening to something like Never Going Back, they’ll be listening to something else and let’s be honest, a lot of what’s out there isn’t helping them know Jesus. When we publicly condemn songs like this, directly or subtly, we shut the door to one of the few tools actually speaking the language of the street with the heart of the cross. I’m not a pastor, but I know this: Jesus came and died for sinners. None of us regardless of titles, appearances, or backgrounds is better than another, we’ve all simply found favor of God and are trying to live a life that pleases our Heavenly Father. So rather than criticize, let’s pray. Let’s encourage. Let’s support gospel expressions that speak to this generation in their own rhythm. Haba!! some of us are still “saving the ark” and we are not even aware of it. May God help us all. XoXo Whoopy Yun copied

Wife of a former President of Nigeria, Patience Jonathan, has earned a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Psychology, Guidance and Counselling from Ignatius Ajuru University of Education. This is as she used the occasion to inspire Nigerian women and youths to embrace lifelong learning. This was disclosed in a statement released by the former first lady’s media adviser, Chris Okeke, on Sunday. Jonathan speaking at the university’s 43rd Postgraduate Convocation Ceremony on Saturday, highlighted the transformative power of education, stressing that age should never be a barrier to academic She said,”I feel that no age is too late to achieve your academic dreams, whether you are young or old. “If I can do it, you can also do it “I believe that even in retirement, you are not too old to go back to school because education provides the opportunity for one to always refresh his or her brain and learn new things. “Let me use this opportunity to encourage Nigerian women and the youth to aspire to become the best of themselves through qualitative education.” She pledged to intensify her efforts in advocating for their upliftment and to continue promoting dialogue for the betterment of society. Reflecting on the journey, she credited divine grace and the support of her family for her success. “First of all, I am very grateful to the Almighty God who has made today a reality. “He saw me through the programme so I am very happy today. “I also thank my family sincerely, especially my lovely husband, His Excellency Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, for all his support and very useful suggestions. “I am also very grateful to my beautiful and lovely children for showing great understanding and love throughout the period I was engaged in this programme. “I appreciate all my friends for their encouragement. I feel very happy today.”

God longs to bless His children with abundance, pouring out daily provisions that nourish and strengthen every part of our lives. Psalm 68:19 reminds us of this beautiful truth: “Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation!” It’s a powerful reminder that God’s love, grace, and care are not just occasional—they are constant, overflowing into our lives every single day. Each day, He meets us with new mercies, whether through answered prayers, unexpected opportunities, or simply the gift of waking up to experience His goodness once more. When we trust in His promises and remain anchored in faith, we open ourselves to the daily blessings He so lovingly offers. Embrace His grace and let His peace fill your heart, knowing that each new day is another chance to experience His boundless love.

When I see people choosing either rude boy or Mr P and blasting the other I just laugh at those kind of people. Like, Why will you chose rude boy and then in-sult Mr P?? 😏 Timaya, 2Baba, and Sarkodie have all praised Rudeboy's musical talent. They agree he's one of the best in Nigeria. Rudeboy's energy and mic skills are undeniable. These legends know a thing or two about great music. Despite the praise for #rudeboy , his brother Mr P is often overlooked. Mr P has his own strengths, particularly in dance. Some fans still can't seem to give Rudeboy the recognition he deserves. Rudeboy's talent speaks for itself. The contrast between Rudeboy and Mr P's skills is notable. While Rudeboy shines in music, Mr P excels in dance. Both brothers have their own unique talents. It's great to see them bringing their A-game. EMMACKThe-Blogger

WEEK OF SPIRITUAL FOCUS AND EMPOWERMENT UPDATES JUNE THEME: *PREPARING FOR THE KING'S RETURN* DATE: SUNDAY 1ST JUNE- TUESDAY 3RD JUNE 2025 DAY ONE *AWAKENING YOURSELF TO THE REALITY OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST.* SCRIPTURES FOR MEDITATION AND PRAYERS 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. THE GREATEST SERVICE YOU CAN DO TO YOURSELF IS TO GET YOURSELF READY FOR THE LORD'S RETURN. IT IS FROM THE ABUNDANCE OF YOUR PERSONAL READINESS FOR THE LORD THAT YOU CAN BE USED TO PREPARE OTHERS FOR THE LORD'S RETURN. PRAYERS 1. DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, THANK YOU FOR YOUR MERCIES AND GRACE IN SAVING MY SOUL FROM SIN AND FROM SATAN'S BONDAGE. ACCEPT MY SINCERE GRATITUDE AND APPRECIATION IN JESUS NAME. 2. DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, HELP ME TO AWAKEN TO THE REALITY OF THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST AND TO BE READY IN EVERY WAYS FOR THE FLIGHT, HELP ME TO ALSO AWAKEN OTHERS FOR THE DAY OF THE LORD'S RETURN IN JESUS NAME. 3. DEAR HEAVENLY FATHER, USE ME AS YOU PLEASE TO DRAW MANY SOULS TO YOU IN THIS REMAINING SHORT TIME BEFORE THE RAPTURE AND HELP ME TO NOT LOSE MYSELF IN THE PROCESS IN JESUS NAME. HAPPY NEW MONTH TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN JESUS NAME! JOIN US TODAY FOR CORPORATE PRAYERS IN CHURCH OR ONLINE BY 5PM. SHALOM, MARANATHA!

You see ehn, I told the girls at the bridal shower, “This wedding? I’m not just showing up. I’m securing a husband. One of the groomsmen must fall for me. And by fall, I don’t mean like me but I mean love me!” Laughter filled the room as I did a slow spin, tossed imaginary gele, and added, “My dance steps go speak in tongues.” Fast forward to Saturday, Wedding day. Asoebi slayed. My face was beat to perfection. My gele? It sat like it had PhD in confidence. Then came the dance parade. Each bridesmaid was paired with a groomsman. And the moment I saw my own pair, Bode; tall, brown-skinned, confident, and moving like Burna Boy’s cousin. I knew prophecy had come to pass. The DJ dropped the beat. The crowd screamed. And our names echoed like it was destiny: “CYNTHIA AND BODE!” As we stepped out, I whispered to my girls: “Watch me collect ring through vibes and dance.” But no one told me Bode was an actual dancer. Like, real dancer. Brother was twisting waist, doing legwork, moonwalk, and even Azonto revival. And me? I panicked. So I brought out my emergency move: ‘Gbese.’ One high leg. One quick turn. The world spun. And I fell. Flat. Like Jesus at the foot of the cross. Lashes flew left. Earrings right. One of my gele pins pierced my shoulder. And Bode? This so-called “man of my dreams”? He pointed. He. Laughed. He even bent and held his stomach as he laughed harder. From the crowd I heard: “Omo, she wan secure husband but na the floor secure her!” But then… Out of nowhere, Philip, the bearded, quiet groomsman with a calm smile stepped out from the lineup. He rushed to me, gently helped me up, and whispered, “Don’t worry. Even stars fall. But they still shine.” I looked into his eyes. My lashes were gone but my heart fluttered. He helped me dust my outfit. Held my hand. And walked me back with pride like I had just won the bride price olympics. Later that night, he brought me a bottle of malt and said: “You know… I loved the confidence. But next time, maybe don’t jump that high.” We both laughed. That fall didn’t give me Bode… It gave me Philip. And as I tell this story now, He’s the reason my phone rings every morning with: “Good morning star girl. Still shining?” Moral of the Story? ✨ Not all falls are failures. ✨ Sometimes, the wrong one needs to laugh… so the right one can lift you. ✨ And yes, TGIF with love stories >>> 😍 ©️ Sophy Bless
