The Circuit Court of Baltimore County, Maryland, has ruled that Olufunke Ashekun must pay $300,000 in damages for defamation and false light against Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries USA and its founder, Dr. Daniel Olukoya. The jury awarded $250,000 in compensatory damages and $50,000 in punitive damages.

The court found that Ashekun’s social media campaign contained unfounded allegations that harmed the church’s reputation and professional integrity. It also criticized the defendant’s evidence as weak and inadmissible.

Reports say Ashekun fainted in court on the eve of the jury’s verdict, and her husband collapsed during the pronouncement. Both were treated by emergency crews before the trial resumed.

Former Miss California Carrie Prejean Boller accuses President Trump of betraying loyal supporters after her dismissal from the White House Religious Liberty Commission. She was removed following tense exchanges at a hearing on anti-Semitism, where she challenged U.S. support for Israel and raised questions about Gaza.

In an open letter, Prejean Boller recalls how Trump defended her in 2009 when she spoke out on traditional marriage during the Miss USA pageant. She argues he has since abandoned his America-first stance and sided with what she calls “heretics” and foreign interests.

The mother of two insists she only asked legitimate policy questions and says she still prays for Trump’s salvation. She warns that U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict conflicts with her Christian faith and America’s best interests.

Scripture: “My tears have been my food day and night, while people say to me all day long, ‘Where is your God?’” – Psalm 42:3

Lament is an honest cry of pain and frustration. It helps you process the difficulty of pursuing sexual purity without turning to sin for relief. Acknowledging how hard the battle feels prevents hidden burnout and secret compromises.

When you pour out your struggles—“I’m tired of resisting,” “I feel alone in this fight”—you’re not showing weak faith. You’re following the example of the Psalms. Honest lament keeps you connected to God. It stops unexpressed tension from exploding into inappropriate choices.

Always move from lament toward trust. Even if nothing changes, you can say, “Yet I will hope in God.” Make space for honest prayers in your walk. Don’t hold back your pain. God can handle your honesty.

Confession: I believe sex is a sacred gift from God. By His grace, I will honor its sanctity. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Many people focus on upper body strength but often overlook arm stretches. Regular stretching maintains flexibility in the muscles of the arms and shoulders.

Try simple exercises: overhead triceps stretch, cross-body shoulder stretch, and biceps stretch. They reduce tightness and improve your range of motion. These moves are ideal for computer users and anyone performing repetitive tasks.

Stretching often also supports better posture and eases shoulder stiffness. Hold each stretch for 20–30 seconds and include them in your warm-up or cool-down routine.

Consistent stretching combined with proper movement helps you maintain healthy mobility in your upper body over time.

Father, I come boldly before Your throne of grace to receive mercy and find help in my times of need (Hebrews 4:16). You promise to supply all sufficiency and enable me to abound in every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8). I cast down every thought of inadequacy and reject every fear that opposes Your truth (2 Corinthians 10:5).

I resist anxiety over losing positions or relationships. I trust that no one can thwart Your purpose for my life. You have sealed my destiny and guard all that belongs to me (Isaiah 14:27; Psalm 16:5). You formed me in the womb for Your service (Isaiah 49:5).

I walk neither in self-doubt nor in self-reliance, for apart from You I can do nothing (John 15:5). My eyes are fixed on You to do exceedingly abundantly above all I could ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Thank You for hearing me and delivering me from all my fears (Psalm 34:4). In Jesus’ name, amen.

An employee at Promo Tower in Abeokuta was accused by shop owner Mr. Kazeem of stealing phones worth millions of naira. She was arrested and detained at Lafenwa Police Station for several days.

Authorities say the owner later inflated both the value and quantity of missing phones and enlisted a magistrate friend to press charges. The woman became deeply depressed upon learning of the exaggerated claims and potential prison remand.

Late one night, a neighbour heard her vomiting behind a locked door. Peering through the window, the neighbour saw her clutching a small container of unknown liquid and a bible. The neighbour persuaded her to open up and rushed her to a private hospital. Her two children slept through the incident and remain unaware of what happened.

Tension is rising in the Lagos Igbo-speaking community over claims of leadership irregularities and the lack of a functioning Board of Trustees. Community members say the organisation has no full board despite its CAC registration.

Eze Chika Nwokedi explains that only three of the original 13 trustees remain alive. No formal process has filled the ten vacancies, which has stalled dispute resolution for years.

Dr Jonathan Nnaji is accused of claiming the chairmanship without a transparent election. Leaders now call for a democratic vote to appoint a new 13-member board with set tenure limits.

Allegations also include financial misconduct and intimidation of executive members. Stakeholders demand verifiable trustee details in court and full accountability to restore unity.

I always thought laminating my important papers was essential for safe travel. I laminated everything—even my NYSC certificate—until someone warned me to stop.

When I went to authenticate my NYSC certificate at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, officers treated my laminated copy like a red flag. I had to carefully peel off the lamination under stress just to get it accepted.

I’m sure many of us face similar hurdles but keep quiet about them. Have you ever had trouble because you laminated your documents? Share your story so we can all avoid this hidden risk.

BBNaija star Tacha took to X to question the usual life advice. She said she grew up being told to work hard, play fair and follow the rules to earn life’s rewards.

Tacha argued that the people who write the rules are often the ones who break them. She pointed out that those who preach fairness don’t always practice it. In her view, being a good person may not make you successful, but it does let you sleep peacefully at night.

In Nigeria, constant jabs at “small yansh” have become a routine form of male banter. Terms like “flat,” “uncooked,” and “builder’s work” echo in group chats, DMs, and public posts. These insults chip away at women’s confidence and plant seeds of insecurity.

Facing pressure to be “wife material,” many women feel surgery is the only path to acceptance. The result is a booming BBL industry in cities like Lagos and Abuja. Clinics thrive on the same judgments that shame and then celebrate the procedure, while women risk serious complications, high costs, and even death to meet shifting beauty standards.

True change needs accountability. When men stop weaponizing preferences as insults, we can begin to honor natural diversity. Until then, this “BBL pandemic” will persist. Ladies, your body is already valid—rock it unapologetically and break the cycle.

I went viral after sharing my unusual way to avoid intimacy with my husband. I used a sanitary pad and pretended to be on my period whenever he wanted sex.

He would come back from meeting his side chick, a mother of four from Anambra, but I just didn’t want any part of it. I felt hurt and started protecting myself.

I call myself a domestic violence survivor and have now left him after six years of marriage.
