SHOULD YOU DO A COURT WEDDING? (PART 1) Dear Anonymous Brother, There are three recognized types of marriages in Nigeria: 1. Statutory Marriage (or marriage Under the Act) • Conducted under the Marriage Act in a government-approved registry (not court) or church licensed for statutory weddings. (Some churches have government licenses to conduct this however, most churches don’t have license for this). 2. Customary Marriage • Conducted according to the traditions and customs of the ethnic groups involved. • Typically includes the payment of bride price and traditional rites. 3. Islamic Marriage • Performed according to Islamic (Sharia) law. • Requires a bride price (Sadaq) and a Nikah (marriage contract). I want to believe that the reason you’re having reservations about statutory wedding or marriage under the act (not court wedding as people call it) is because of the consequences and rigors of divorce. Most men are scared of statutory wedding because, in the case of divorce, properties are bound to be split, child custody laws may not favour them, and the consequence of polygamy (because the law prohibits that). If this is the case, I can boldly tell you that you’re entering marriage with the wrong mentality. You’re most likely going to end in divorce when conflict arises because you created room for it before entering the marriage. (Don’t forget that conflict must arise whether you like it or not). Note: Statutory weddings are not legally called court weddings. They are conducted in a marriage registry, a place of worship or any place of your choice by an authorized marriage registrar or licensed minister of a church. However, divorce can only take place in a high court or court with a higher jurisdiction. To be continued……… #relationshipcoach #marriagecounselor #lovebankers

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s Prophecies and Nigeria’s Current Realities Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), has long been a controversial figure in Nigerian politics. Love him or hate him, his words and warnings over the years have had a profound impact, particularly among his followers. Many of his past statements, once dismissed as conspiracy theories or alarmist rhetoric, appear eerily accurate in light of Nigeria’s current situation. 1. Insecurity and the Rise of Banditry One of Kanu’s most striking warnings was his prediction of Nigeria’s descent into widespread insecurity. He repeatedly cautioned that terrorism, banditry, and herdsmen attacks would escalate if unchecked. Fast forward to today, and Nigeria is grappling with a security crisis of unprecedented proportions. From Boko Haram in the Northeast to armed bandits in the Northwest and killer herdsmen in the South, the nation is in turmoil. Even Abuja, the federal capital, is not spared from kidnappings and violent attacks. 2. Economic Collapse and Hardship Kanu had often spoken about an impending economic crisis in Nigeria, warning that bad governance, corruption, and poor leadership would lead to severe economic hardship. Today, Nigeria’s inflation rate is at an all-time high, the naira has depreciated significantly, fuel prices have skyrocketed, and unemployment continues to rise. Millions of Nigerians struggle daily with the cost of living, a situation that validates his warnings about the consequences of poor governance. 3. Political Instability and the Struggle for Power Another prophecy that seems to be manifesting is Nigeria’s deepening political instability. Kanu predicted that Nigeria’s political structure would become more chaotic as ethnic and regional divisions intensify. Today, the country is more polarized than ever, with calls for secession from different groups, electoral controversies, and a lack of trust in the government. The 2023 elections, marred by allegations of fraud and manipulation, only deepened the nation’s divide. 4. The Alleged Identity Controversy of Buhari Perhaps one of Kanu’s most controversial claims was his insistence that Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, had been replaced by an imposter, whom he identified as ‘Jubril from Sudan.’ While this claim was widely dismissed by government officials and critics, it fueled speculation and debates about Buhari’s health and public appearances. Whether or not one believes in this theory, the secrecy surrounding Buhari’s medical travels and long absences from the country made the claim resonate with many Nigerians. 5. The Marginalization of the South-East Kanu has consistently spoken about the marginalization of the Igbo people in Nigeria. Today, many Igbos feel politically sidelined, especially after the 2023 elections, where Peter Obi, the candidate with strong Igbo backing, was controversially defeated. The continued military operations in the South-East, the detention of Kanu himself, and the economic neglect of the region further confirm the long-standing grievances he has championed. Conclusion While opinions on Nnamdi Kanu remain divided, it is undeniable that many of his warnings about Nigeria’s future have come true. From insecurity to economic hardship and political instability, the country is experiencing the very crises he predicted. Whether one sees him as a prophet, a revolutionary, or a rebel, history is proving that his words were not mere rhetoric but reflections of a deeper reality within Nigeria. The question now is: Will Nigeria heed the warnings and address these issues, or will the country continue its downward spiral?

IMPORTANT SECURITY WARNING TO ALL IGBO-SPEAKING PEOPLE LIVING IN THE NORTH (Especially Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Sokoto, and other core Northern states) Information reaching us now indicates a dangerous and disturbing plot by some elements within the Hausa-Fulani community, who are reportedly planning violent attacks against Igbo and other Southern residents in the North, specifically in retaliation for the recent unfortunate incident that occurred in Edo State. The intelligence gathered suggests that some of these groups have vowed to "make southerners in the North pay" for what happened in the South, regardless of whether those targeted had anything to do with the event. They are already spreading hate messages, fueling anger, and waiting to carry out coordinated attacks — possibly starting after they break their fast tonight. We advise all Igbo-speaking people and other southerners living in these areas to: Do not sleep with your eyes closed tonight. Stay alert. Avoid isolated places and reduce unnecessary movements, especially at night. Relocate temporarily to areas with a higher concentration of southerners where you can watch each other’s back and defend yourselves if the need arises. If possible, consider returning to the South until tempers calm down and the situation is verified to be safe. Do not engage in unnecessary arguments or social media banter with hostile groups at this time — stay under the radar. Parents, recall your children from schools if those schools are located in volatile areas. Monitor local security reports and announcements closely. We cannot overemphasize this: A word is enough for the wise. The same people who are threatening violence are reportedly moving arms towards southern territories and also preparing for possible attacks in Benin Kingdom and across Igbo territories. This is not a time to be careless or stubborn. Safety first. Please share this message widely to every Igbo person and southerner you know in the North. It could save lives.

DIRTY SCHOOL GIRL EPISODE 3. © ELVIS. When Maika and her crew learned that the prince had fallen in love with her, they assigned one of the girls to tell the prince that Jenifer used black magic to pass her exams. The allegations were justified by the fact that the charm was annihilated during the school party and she was never going to take first in class again. The prince was not convinced because his love for her was unbearable. So he told the girl that if Jenifer didn't come first, he was going to believe them and then try to forget about her. So Maika and her friends decided to work hard not only to prove their point but to get the attention of the Prince. Jenifer never knew they had disgraced her before the entire school just for a common rumor. She had no friend, and no one cared to alert her that the prince was in love with her and the other girls were trying to persuade him to hate her. The Prince wanted to ask her but thought she was going to renew the charm. She knew they hated her, when she found out that the bully girls had formed study groups, she knew they wanted to defy her position. The fury of what conspired at the campus social feast, made her determined to tripple her studies. She read and slept memorizing and got up early to read before doing her morning duties. She had understood the game and was wishing to receive a scholarship. The scholarships always came through the presidential degree. That was her hope and she was seriously working hard to maintain her position. Everyone knew she was going to fail because she had changed her old gown but it was still an oversized school uniform. Just because of her dirtiness, she drew the attention of everyone. Though it was hate, the only one the other girls admired got attracted to her. The very reason they were burning with rage. And so they had to prove her wrong through school results. She was ignorantly working hard and for the first time the entire crew of the bully girls was seriously bent on their books studying. Just because they wanted to impress the prince and steal him from Jennifer. She came from a poor background, that is why she never wanted to disappoint her single mum. She was the only hope she had. It was an academic war that was going on. One day when they were in class, a student stood right in front of the class and jabbered, "I will see how those who use 'Juju' to pass their exams and be first in this class will succeed this time." The class started Murmuring, while the prince wondered if black magic could make someone pass his exams. He had watched Jenifer and she was a very serious and devoted student. One thing about her was that she never gave the wrong answers even if the teacher asked a question to her by surprise. "We were taught that history is the study of past events. What is the use of history in our present events and future?" "As for me I don't know but if I had to respond to that I will say, from our past mistakes we can correct our future. Politicians use references from the past to lead the people," "If you are able to think out of the box then it means you are a clever girl. What is the secret of your success?" "From the very first day school started learning and studying. I believe everyday is an examination day. Where i come from i don't have to fail," she justified and the prince was curious, "Why can't you fail?" "It is because it is not easy for my mother to afford paying my school fees. If I fail, it means I don't know what she went through before paying my school fees." That was the first day the prince spoke to her and the impression he had was different from the rumors that circulate about Jenifer. To be continued… Follow 👉 Akuma Chibueze for next episode

*POPE FRANCIS RETIREMENT SPEECH THAT SHOCKS THE WORLD* The speech that was read yesterday Regardless of religion, see how Pope Francis has beautifully written about the family. FAMILY, PLACE OF FORGIVENESS ... ©️ There is no perfect family. ©️ We do not have perfect parents, - you are not perfect yourself. We do not marry a perfect person or we do not have perfect children. ©️ We have complaints from each other. We can not live together without offending one another. ©️ We are constantly disappointed. Yes for so many reasons at different times we are disappointed by one another. ©️ There is no healthy marriage or healthy family without the exercise of forgiveness. Forgiveness is the medicine of family joy and happiness. ©️ Forgiveness is vital to our emotional health and spiritual survival. No matter the offence or who is the offender. Without forgiveness, the family becomes an arena of conflict and a fortress of evil. ©️ Without forgiveness, the family becomes sick and unhealthy. ©️ Forgiveness is the asepsis of the soul, the purification of the spirit and the liberation of the heart. No sin is too big to be forgiven. He who does not forgive does not have peace in his soul and can not have communion with God. ©️ Unforgiving is Evil and a poison that intoxicates and kills the one who refuses to forgive. ©️ Keeping heartache of unforgiving in your heart is a self-destructive gesture. It's autophagy. ©️ Those who do not forgive are physically, emotionally and spiritually ill. And they will suffer in two ways. For this reason, the family must be a place of life and not a place of death; a place of forgiveness, a place of paradise and not a place of hell; A healing territory and not a disease; an internship of forgiveness and not guilt. Forgiveness brings joy where sorrow has brought sadness; of Healing where sorrow has caused disease. A family is a place of support and not of gossip and slander of one another. It must be a place of welcome not a place of rejection. Shame to those who plant evil about others. We are family and not enemies. When anyone is going through a challenge all they need is support. ¤ By Pope Francisco Please send to all the families and groups you know. This could help heal family's wounds and settle some battles.
