Dear whoever is reading this I hope you have a reason to smile.

*Your Real Life Partner Is Not Your Spouse!*

Not your mom.
Not your dad.
Not your spouse.
Not your dear friend
Not even your children.

*It’s Your Body!*

The one thing that stays with you from birth till death is the one you often ignore —
Your Body.

When your body is tired, it whispers.
When you don’t listen, it screams.
And when it finally gives up,
no one else can carry that consequence but you.

What you eat.
How you sleep.
The way you handle stress.
The exercise you avoid.
The sugar you won’t stop eating.

They are all love letters or hate mails to your body.
And your body is always reading them.

You can replace a job.
You can marry someone else.
You can disown whosoever.
You can borrow money.
But you can’t trade bodies.

So start showing up for your realest partner...

—Eat with intention.
—Move daily.
—Sleep like it’s sacred.
—Think thoughts that nourish, not that which poison.
—Say no to stress that’s killing you slowly.

Your body is not a container.
It’s a companion.
Treat it like it matters — because it does.

Indeed, *Your body is where you live... Take very good care of it!*

Gen Musa Waarns: Stop Using Social Media to Promote IPOB—It’s Threatening Nigeria

The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has issued a strong warning to residents of the South East against supporting or promoting the activities of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed wing, the Eastern Security Network (ESN), especially through social media platforms.

Speaking during a community engagement visit in Omor, Anambra East LGA, Anambra State, General Musa—represented by Group Captain Ibrahim Bukar, Deputy Director of Defence Media Operations—highlighted the dangers of spreading unverified and misleading information online. He noted that such actions not only endanger the region but also threaten Nigeria’s unity and national peace.

As part of a people-focused outreach within the Operation Udoka Area of Responsibility, the Defence Chief met with the Obi Eze Ana-Uku, Eze Igulube of Omor, emphasizing the military’s commitment to restoring lasting peace and security in the South East.

General Musa made it clear that IPOB’s activities are harmful to both the region and the country at large, and should be firmly rejected. He condemned the growing trend of spreading false narratives pushed by outlawed groups, urging citizens to be vigilant and responsible.

“People need to have trust in their military,” he said. “The military belongs to the people. We rely on you to give us credible information—when you see something, say something. Together, we can overcome insecurity and bring peace back to our communities.”

He assured the people that the military remains neutral in all conflicts and is solely focused on protecting law-abiding citizens.

“Our mission is not to take sides,” he added. “We are only after criminal elements. Our job is to ensure peace and safeguard the lives and properties of innocent Nigerians.”

General Musa also reaffirmed the Armed Forces’ dedication to fulfilling their constitutional duty to protect the nation, adding that peace and security are vital foundations for national development and economic growth.

In his response, the traditional ruler of Omor, Eze Igulube, praised the military’s consistent efforts in maintaining peace in the area. He expressed gratitude for the improved security situation, saying the presence of the Armed Forces has brought relief to the community.

“Our people are farmers, peace-loving and hospitable,” the monarch said. “We deeply appreciate the courage and dedication of your personnel. We are ready to provide accurate intelligence to help your operations and keep our land safe.”

He pledged the full support of the community in the ongoing efforts to restore peace and security across the South East.

MANY ARE NOT READY TO STUDY THE WORD BUT CAN WAKE UP VERY EARLY TO CHAT OR WATCH CNN

EVERY GIFT OF GOD NOT SERVICED WILL DIE A NATURAL DEATH

- Bishop David Oyedepo

Bishop Oyedepo has charged all believers to beware of distractions that prevent them from their spiritual disciplines. While admonishing the congregation during the second service of the Special Easter Celebration Service at Faith Tabernacle Canaanland, he said "Some will take the Bible and in two minutes, they have slept. Church Gist. When they are watching TV, they can stay awake for two hours without blinking. Two solid hours with junk, no lesson. He is awake. But let us pray, he is dozing off in one minute. "let us chat", he is excited even early in the morning. They are traps of the devil."

He further said "You may not like my approach but I know what I am doing, I bought my last newspaper in 1993. They talk about me a lot, that's good. They are for people to read. I can't be reading what you are saying about me, I know me more than you know me. I have one TV in my house and office and it has never seen power. Church Gist. You can't mistakenly turn it on, it was never connected. Whether it is still working or not, nobody knows. Warranty has gone. Can I leave my house and go and be watching in the office? No! But you know how many of you do that. The business is dying and you are in front of CNN. They say "don't go away" and you are there. What are you looking for? To take time out and seek the way forward, you don't have. I said to you before, those who make news don't watch news. They are busy making news for watchers to keep watching. I see you enlisted among newsmakers. Every gift of God that is unserviced will die a natural death."

THE SON AND HIS WIFE FORCED AN OLD MAN OUT OF HIS OWN HOME—UNTIL A DOG LED HIM TO A NEW BEGINNING

Wilson sat shivering on a freezing bench in a park outside Manchester, the icy wind biting through his worn coat. Snowflakes drifted down as the night stretched on, an endless black void. He stared blankly ahead, grappling with the cruel irony that he—a man who had built his own home with his bare hands—had been thr0wn out onto the streets, discarded like rubb!sh.

Just hours earlier, he had been standing in the house that had always been his sanctuary. But his son, Anthony, met his gaze with cold indifference, treating him like a stranger.

“Dad, it’s cramped with Susie and me,” Anthony said bluntly. “You’re not getting any younger. A retirement home or a rented room would be better for you. You’ve got your pension…”

Standing silently by his side, Susie, Wilson’s daughter-in-law, nodded, as though this cr:u:el decision were the most natural thing in the world.

“But… this is my home,” Wilson said, his voice trembling—not from the cold, but from the deep sting of betrayal.

“You signed it over to me,” Anthony shrugged, his tone detached. “The documents are done, Dad.”

In that moment, Wilson realized he had nothing left.

Without arguing, he turned and walked away, leaving behind everything he had cherished—memories, security, and the son he had raised with love.

Now he sat alone, wrapped in his tattered coat, unable to understand how his life had come to this. He had trusted his son, given him everything, and yet, in the end, he had become nothing more than a burden. The b!ting cold crept into his b0nes, but the @che in his soul was far deeper.

Then, out of the darkness, he felt a touch.

A warm, furry paw gently rested on his frozen hand.

Before him stood a large, shaggy dog with kind, expressive eyes that seemed almost human. The dog stared at Wilson, nudging his palm softly with its nose as if saying, “You’re not alone.”

“Where did you come from, buddy?” Wilson whispered, tears rising in his throat as he fought to keep them back.

The dog wagged its tail and tugged at the edge of Wilson’s coat with its teeth.

“What are you doing?” Wilson asked, surprised. His voice carried less despair than before.

The dog tugged again, persistently urging Wilson to follow. And with nothing left to lose, the old man sighed and stood.

They walked together through snow-covered streets until they approached a small house. Its door swung open, and a woman wrapped in a warm shawl appeared in the doorway.

“Benny! Where have you been, you rascal?” she exclaimed before freezing, her gaze falling on the shivering old man. “Oh my... Are you all right?”

Wilson tried to say he’d manage, but only a hoarse groan escaped his lips.

“You’re freezing! Come inside, quickly!” The woman grabbed his hand and led him into the warmth of her home.

Wilson awoke the next morning in a cozy room, the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and cinnamon rolls filling the air. For the first time in what felt like forever, warmth spread through his body, chasing away the cold and fear.

“Good morning,” a gentle voice greeted him.

He turned to see the woman from the night before, standing in the doorway with a tray in her hands.

“My name’s Halsey,” she said, smiling warmly. “And yours?”

“Wilson,” he replied hesitantly.

“Well, Wilson,” she said with a brighter smile, “my Benny doesn’t usually bring strangers home. You’re lucky.”

Wilson managed a faint smile.

“I don’t know how to thank you...”

“Tell me,” Halsey said as she set the tray on the table, “how did you end up out in the cold like that?”

Wilson hesitated, but the genuine concern in Halsey’s eyes urged him to share everything. He recounted the story of his home, his son, and the heartbreaking betrayal that had left him out in the cold.

When he finished, silence filled the room.

“Stay with me,” Halsey said suddenly.

Wilson stared at her in sh0ck.

“What?”

“I live alone—just me and Benny. I could use some company, and you need a home.”

“I… don’t…”
