  • 12 COMMANDMENTS OF A HEALTHY MARRIAGE


    Marriage is a journey, not a sprint. These timeless principles, if practiced sincerely, can make your love life rich, fulfilling, and long-lasting.

    1. Never Stop Communicating
    A relationship d!es the moment communication breaks down. Talk often. Talk openly. Talk honestly. Whether it’s laughter, serious talks, or simply checking in during the day—keep the conversation flowing. Silence builds walls.

    Action Tip: Have daily "heart-to-heart" moments, even if it’s just 10 minutes before bed.

    2. Pray Together
    Couples that kneel together, stand stronger together. Prayer invites God into your relationship as a counselor, protector, and teacher. Submitting to God helps you submit in love to one another.

    Action Tip: Create a shared prayer list and pray over it together weekly.

    3. Don't W€aponize $ex
    $ex is not a reward or a punishment—it's a covenant bond. Using it to manipulate your partner causes deep emotional wounds. Keep $ex sacred, frequent, and full of mutual affection.

    Action Tip: Talk about your $exual needs openly without judgment.

    4. No Secrets, No Lies
    Hiding things destr0ys trust. Lies may feel small today, but they erode intimacy tomorrow. Transparency builds safety.

    Action Tip: Commit to “full disclosure” zones—times when you speak openly with no fear of judgment.

    5. Grow Together, Not Apart
    Compatibility is not just about shared interests—it's about growing side-by-side spiritually, emotionally, financially, and professionally. Don’t let one partner evolve while the other stagnates.

    Action Tip: Take a course, budget together, join a group, or set shared goals every quarter.

    6. Make Decisions Together
    Marriage is not a solo career. Major decisions must be mutual. When one person leads without the other, resentment builds.

    Action Tip: Have a “couples board meeting” monthly to discuss finances, plans, and life decisions.

    7. Keep Emotional Intimacy Reserved for Each Other

    Let no one be closer to you emotionally than your partner. Don’t let a friend, colleague, or even family member take your spouse’s emotional seat.

    Action Tip: Share your deepest thoughts, fears, and joys with your spouse before anyone else.

    8. Don’t Stop Being the Lover You Were at the Start
    Keep the charm, compliments, and sweet gestures alive. Familiarity should not breed laziness. Keep watering the plant of love.

    Action Tip: Bring back “dating days”—even if it’s just a walk, movie night, or surprise text.

    9. Don’t Sleep Angry
    Bittern€ss multiplies overnight. Don’t give anger a place to sleep in your bed. Resolve issues before you rest.

    Action Tip: Use this phrase often: “I value us more than this fight. Let’s talk.”

    10. Do Not Cheat, Flirt, or Entertain Infidelity
    Even the strongest love will collapse under the weight of betrayal.

    Faithfulness is not just physical—it’s emotional, digital, and mental.

    Action Tip: Avoid private, flirty conversations with the opposite $ex, and set clear boundaries.

    11. Support Each Other’s Dreams and Purpose

    Your partner is not just a spouse—they are a person with dreams, goals, and a divine calling. When one pursues purpose and the other doesn’t care, frustration sets in. Be their cheerleader, not their critic.

    Action Tip: Ask, “How can I help you get closer to your dream this year?” and follow through.

    12. Forgive Quickly and Completely
    Every relationship will experience hurt. The difference between a lasting marriage and a broken one is how quickly and sincerely you forgive. Holding grudges pois0ns your connection.

    Action Tip: Practice saying, “I was wrong. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.” And be quick to extend grace when your spouse says the same.

    Which of these do you think couples struggle with the most?
    Share your thoughts

    FINAL THOUGHT:
    A thriving relationship takes intention, prayer, humility, and consistency. Love isn’t built in a day, but it can be broken in a moment. Guard it, nurture it, and grow in it together.

    Which of these commandments speaks to you most today?


    You will not fail in marriage in Jesus name

  • SUCCESS NOW BELONGS TO THE MOST FOCUSED, NOT THE MOST TALENTED.

    In this generation, it’s no longer about survival of the fittest.

    It’s now survival of the most focused.

    It’s now about who knows what they want, and refuses to be distracted.

    You can be talented and still fail.
    You can be smart and still stuck.

    Why?
    Because without focus, you’ll keep starting and never finishing.

    Everyone is busy.
    Everyone is trying.
    But only the focused ones are building empires, creating impact, and making money consistently.

    Focus is now the real currency.

    So what’s stealing your focus?

    EXTERNAL DISTRACTIONS

    •Social media scrolling
    •Endless WhatsApp chats and group messages
    •Phone notifications every 5 minutes
    •Unnecessary calls
    •Excessive watching of movies
    •Trying to keep up with every trend
    •Consuming too much content without action
    •Jumping from course to course
    •Attending every training without implementing
    •Always being available to everyone

    INTERNAL DISTRACTIONS

    •Overthinking and second-guessing
    •Fear of missing out (FOMO) •Comparison syndrome
    •Perfectionism
    •Procrastination disguised as “planning”
    •Imposter syndrome
    •Emotional baggage
    •No clarity or defined goals
    •Trying to please everyone
    •Saying “yes” to everything

    LIFESTYLE DISTRACTIONS

    •Poor time management
    •No structure or routine
    •Toxic relationships
    •Multitasking everything, finishing nothing
    •Inconsistent sleep or rest

    If you want to win in this season,

    Mute the noise.
    Pick your lane.
    Protect your focus like your life depends on it because it does.

    The world is loud.

    You don’t need to do everything.

    You just need to do the right thing, and do it consistently.

  • HEALTH TIPS FOR TODAY
    1. Start your day with a glass of water.
    Your body goes quite a few hours without hydration as you sleep. Drinking a full glass of water in the morning can aid digestion, flush out toxins, enhance skin health and give you an energy boost.

    2. Begin with something positive.
    Wake up and do something that inspires you like journaling, walking in nature, or other hobbies. Whether it’s productive or relaxing, beginning your morning on the right foot can cultivate a positive mindset and set the tone for the entire day.

    3. Get plenty of sleep.
    Sleep is just as important as eating healthy and exercising. From improving your productivity and concentration to helping support your overall health, getting the recommended hours of sleep per night can have a major impact on your wellbeing.i

    4. Get some fresh air.
    Whether you get outside for some exercise or to read a book in the sunshine, you should take at least 30 minutes a day to get some vitamin D.

    5. Get moving throughout the day.
    Try the stairs instead of the elevator, take short walks around your office or ride a bike instead of driving. Vigorous exercise is essential but moving throughout the day will keep you energized, as well as benefit your mind and body.

    6. Track your steps.
    Tracking your steps will help you see how much you’ve actually moved throughout the day and may even encourage you to challenge yourself to reach a certain amount of steps every day.

    7. Give your eyes a rest.
    Eyes become easily strained when you’re constantly focused on your computer screen. Reduce the risk of tired eyes by looking away from your computer for at least 20 seconds in 20-minute intervals.

    8. Eat real food.
    Real food is whole, single-ingredient foods that are unprocessed and free of additives. Incorporating these foods into your day can help improve your health, manage your weight and give you energy.

    9. Snack smart.
    It’s easy to mindlessly snack throughout the day, so make sure your snack choices aren’t weighing you down. Mixed nuts, veggies, Greek yogurt or even a piece of dark chocolate are all great options that will keep you feeling satisfied.

    10. Take your vitamins.
    Multivitamins contain vitamins and minerals that are essential to your health. No matter how healthy you eat or what diet you follow, it can be difficult for your body to get all of the nutrients it needs from food. Research your options and find a multivitamin that fits your needs and supports your health.

    11. Get some alone time.
    Spending time alone can be extremely beneficial for your mental health. Get to know yourself, figure out what you want and start living your most purposeful life.

    12. Try something new.
    Join a book club, sign up for a class, start cooking. Try something new at least once a month. Making a point to keep learning throughout your life can keep your mind lively and engaged.

    13. Schedule your appointments.
    Visit your dentist twice a year, make sure you’re getting those annual checkups at the doctor and schedule the recommended screenings for your age group. Make your health a number one priority.

    14. Make time for your friends and family.
    Spending time with your friends and family may not seem like a top wellness tip but it is vital. Humans are social beings and rely on other humans to maintain their mental, emotional and physical help. Setting time aside to spend with your loved ones can help relieve stress, increase self-esteem and lead you to make more positive choices.

    15. Take care of your skin.
    Building a daily skin care routine can help you maintain overall skin health or improve concerns like acne, scarring or dark spots. Find a cleanser, serum, moisturizer and sunscreen and give your skin the love it deserves.

    16. Limit blue light before bed.
    The blue light emitted by your tech devices may be the cause of those restless nights. Put your phone or laptop away at least an hour before bed to set yourself up for a good night of sleep.

    17. Manage your money.
    Money worries are oftentimes a big source of stress for some people. Saving for the future, home mortgages and paying off loans—it all adds up. Create a priority list for yourself and determine a realistic budget to provide yourself some relief.

    18. Practice gratitude.
    Oftentimes, we tend to focus on what we’re lacking in life instead of focusing on the things that we do have. Start measuring your worth by your successes rather than your deficits by keeping track of the things that go well in your life.

    Maintaining a healthy lifestyle doesn’t have to be a daunting task. These wellness tips are small steps you can take to make big changes in your life.

  • *A KIDNAPPING DEN*

    One day while John was driving his car on a dilapidated road to his village in Enugu, four men with guns came out from the bush and shouted at him to stop. John quickly obeyed them and held up his hands at gunpoint.

    They took him into a solitary place in the forest, where there were wild animals and lizards; where flies were buzzing, birds and butterflies fluttering in the air. The five men trekked in the forest for two hours. John's left sandal got cut from long walk.

    Then a tall black man appeared to meet them; he was the leader of the kidnappers. His men handed John over to him and went away. John stayed in their den for eight days and nights without water or food.

    The amount the kidnappers demanded for John's release was 50m naira. The negotiation was still going on when the mask their boss wore mistakenly fell out. John saw his face, recognized him and called his name! Both of them stared fixedly at each other. The man was juniour staff, who worked under John in a finance office before he retired from government service!

    "What're you doing here, sir?" the leader of the kidnappers asked John in surprise.

    "I'm from this place," John replied.

    "Oh no! You don't mean it! Your people are very wicked!" the man exclaimed.

    The leader of the gang was a Boko Haram member from Kogi State. He was hired for the business by John's younger cousin whom he trained in the university.

    "Do you know this name . . . ?" The kidnapper mentioned the name of John's cousin and showed him his phone number. Both of them had the same surname.

    The kidnapper dropped his AK47 on the ground, knelt down before John and promised that nobody would harm him. He took John's phone, searched through it and saw a video showing where some Boko Haram men were punishing their victims.

    "From where did you get this video?" He asked John.

    "I got it from my WhatsApp group," he replied.

    "Look at me in the video. I was with my colleagues in Katsina forest, carrying out an operation there. Please, sir, I'll take this your phone."

    John said, "Okay."

    "Your brother asked us to collect 50m naira from you. If you refuse to pay it, we should kill you. But, as long as I'm concerned, nothing will happen to you. I remember how good you were to me, Oga. Will you be able to get 5m naira?" He asked.

    John promised that he would try.

    The kidnapper then gave John his phone and asked him to call his people to gather the 5m naira immediately. That was on the ninth day John was with the kidnappers in the forest.

    Much later on, the 5m naira was brought to the kidnappers. They handed it over to their boss. The latter collected John's mobile phone, with the _SIM cards_ inside it, and said his farewells and left.

    John walked quickly away and entered the vehicle that was used to bring the money. He was carried home to meet his people who had gathered to welcome him.

    QUESTIONS:
    *°* Who was the person that planned and arranged for John's kidnap?
    *°* Who was the person that saved John's life?
    *°* Explain why John was not killed.

    _I leave you to answer the questions._

He took John's phone, searched through it and saw a video showing where some Boko Haram men were punishing their victims. "From where did you get this video?" He asked John. "I got it from my WhatsApp group," he replied. "Look at me in the video. I was with my colleagues in Katsina forest, carrying out an operation there. Please, sir, I'll take this your phone." John said, "Okay." "Your brother asked us to collect 50m naira from you. If you refuse to pay it, we should kill you. But, as long as I'm concerned, nothing will happen to you. I remember how good you were to me, Oga. Will you be able to get 5m naira?" He asked. John promised that he would try. The kidnapper then gave John his phone and asked him to call his people to gather the 5m naira immediately. That was on the ninth day John was with the kidnappers in the forest. Much later on, the 5m naira was brought to the kidnappers. They handed it over to their boss. The latter collected John's mobile phone, with the _SIM cards_ inside it, and said his farewells and left. John walked quickly away and entered the vehicle that was used to bring the money. He was carried home to meet his people who had gathered to welcome him. QUESTIONS: *°* Who was the person that planned and arranged for John's kidnap? *°* Who was the person that saved John's life? *°* Explain why John was not killed. _I leave you to answer the questions._ *----------〰️〰️〰️----------* *~ 'LEXIS N. O.*

  • In 2017, a conspiracy theory that Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari had died in a London hospital and was replaced with a body double called ‘Jubril’ from Sudan surfaced in popular discourse. This occurred after Buhari had spent three months undergoing medical treatment in London for an undisclosed illness. The President’s location outside of Nigeria, in the country that was its former colonizer, gave shape to different versions of the conspiracy theory, with suggestions that British Nigerian political elites were behind the replacement of the President and were hiding his alleged death.
    Anxieties around the President were initially provoked by a tweet on 19 May 2017, in which Eric Joyce, a British politician, tweeted that the President was dead. President Buhari had last been seen in public two weeks earlier. Eric Joyce’s tweet triggered Nigerians who were looking to escape a repeat of the power vacuum that had been experienced in the country after the death of a previous sitting president, Umaru Yar’Adua, who died in similar and somewhat mysterious circumstances in 2010.
    Narratives that the president was a clone emerged in public discourse following President Buhari's public reappearance and return to Nigeria from the UK in August 2017. The first identified online appearance of the clone conspiracy theory was a YouTube video created by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), a secessionist group in southeastern Nigeria, in September 2017. The group had been seizing opportunities during election windows to insert itself into broader political debates by whipping up regional sentiments of marginalization and political apathy. It had used a range of mainstream and social media channels to call the attention of the international community to its agitations and the illegal detention/trial of its leader. The body double conspiracy theory was picked up in the Nigerian media and widely spread through different forms of popular communication in Nigeria, resulting in Buhari publicly acknowledging and confronting the conspiracy theory. On 2 December 2018, Buhari insisted during an event in Poland, ‘It’s [the] real me, I assure you.’ The IPOB leader responded, tweeting:
    If Buhari is not dead and replaced by Jubril from Sudan, why won't the Nigerian government sue Eric Joyce, a former British lawmaker, for peddling lies? They can’t because they know I am speaking the truth. @AsoRock @ericjoyce @NGRPresident @UKParliament @NGRSenate @WhiteHouse t.co/qqrKHPmtNy
    In this article, this conspiracy theory that President Buhari was a clone is addressed as an opportunity to question the superficial confidence with which conspiracy theories have been dismissed as aberrations and negative externalities of digital ecosystems and their supporters as threats to an ostensibly deliberative public sphere. While not pitched in defense of conspiracy theories, it seeks to examine them without the comfortable protection of post-enlightenment normativity and to remind us how injunctions to ‘speak civilly’ or ‘think rationally’ tend to reproduce tropes from a colonial past, dismissing or erasing other forms of knowledge/reasoning used to make sense of the world to speak to power.

    The arguments and analyses we advance here are closely related to those we presented in a previous article (Gagliardone et al.,
    Citation
    2021), where we empirically illustrated how this explorative, rather than normative, approach allows us to grasp how individuals do not simply fall for, embrace, or support a conspiracy theory but can ‘do’ specific and distinct things with/through them. In that article, we comparatively analyzed how conspiracy theories circulating at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic were seized by some Nigerian users and politicians as opportunities to criticize the ruling party, while in South Africa the same conspiracy theories became a vehicle to voice deep-rooted resentment towards the West and corporate interests.
