Despite being days away from giving birth, Nollywood star Ruby Ojiakor kept her tradition of reaching out to others. She shared a video of her visit to Asaba Specialist Hospital, where she cheered on newly delivered mothers with essential supplies and heartfelt prayers.

Ruby handed out diapers and wipes to the women. She prayed boldly that the labour room would spare their lives and urged everyone to trust in God’s protection. She described the outreach as the "work of Christ".

Just two weeks after her wedding, Ruby visited her orphanage home, City of David, to thank God for a successful ceremony. She called God her engine and powerhouse and said nothing brings her more joy than serving others.

Earlier this year, the Asaba actress won a humanitarian award and reiterated that giving is living. She has also faced criticism for a viral clip of her tossing money to street children, with fans advising a more respectful approach. Ruby later recalled a moment when well-meaning fans showered her with cash on a film set.

Pastor Foluke Adeboye, wife of RCCG General Overseer E.A. Adeboye, says she once invested heavily in gold jewelry. After her family became born again, she learned that expensive ornaments were frowned upon. 

Determined to show true commitment, she gathered all her gold pieces — even those bought for her toddler daughter — and cast them into a lagoon. A friend suggested she let her mother sell them instead, but Foluke refused. “Whatever is not good for me is not good for my mother,” she explained.

She briefly switched to copper accessories but insisted she has no regrets. “What would I say I miss? Not much, I have already sold myself,” she added.

In her own words: “Leaders of Nigeria, our children are in the bush. I have told my son if you can no longer continue, come back home. Nigerian leaders, it will never be well with you people. Please do something about our children in the bush. Oh God of vengeance, avenge our soldiers!”

“Ramadan Kareem to the Muslim Ummah in Anambra State and all faithful celebrating this important feast,” she said. She urged the faithful to use the occasion to share genuine love and happiness within their communities.

Daily Spiritual Digest (18-03-2026)

Kindness costs nothing but can change lives. Every person you meet fights unseen battles. God calls us to show grace, not judgment.

“Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” — Ephesians 4:32 (NKJV)

Life is full of hidden struggles. A simple act of kindness can heal a wounded heart. When we repay mercy with mercy, we reflect God’s love. Let your words bring healing and your actions bring peace.

Reflect:
• Have my words ever hurt someone who was already hurting?
• Do I show mercy as God has shown me?
• Am I a burden bearer?

Prayer:
Lord, fill me with compassion. Help me speak life and bring hope. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

I’ve been thinking about improving my mental well-being but I’m not sure where to start. There are so many options that choosing the right expert feels overwhelming.

Has anyone here consulted a mental health professional? How did you find the right one? Which factors did you consider before deciding?

Also, I’m torn between in-person sessions and online therapy. Do virtual consultations really work? I’d appreciate any personal experiences or recommendations.

Thanks in advance for your help!

This time, Tonto donated ten laptops to boost digital learning for all students. Her foundation has supported similar projects in other under-resourced schools across Nigeria.

Irregular periods are common and usually harmless. A regular cycle runs every 21 to 35 days and lasts 2 to 7 days. If your cycle has always fallen on a certain pattern, that’s your normal.

When your flow skips months, shows up twice in one cycle, or changes in heaviness, it often flags stress, hormonal shifts, thyroid issues, PCOS, or rapid weight changes. Watch for bleeding that soaks a pad or tampon every hour, cycles shorter than 21 days or longer than 35 days, or no period for three months without pregnancy.

Most irregularities resolve with better sleep, balanced meals, stress management, and cycle tracking. But if disruptions persist for months, book a check-up. Share details on your stress, diet, exercise, and any health changes to help your doctor find the cause.

A Nigerian lady’s trip home from church ended in heartbreak after a stranger offered to pay her danfo fare. She viewed it as a kind gesture—until she got home and discovered her money was gone. “I entered danfo, he paid for two, and I only realised my cash was missing when I got home. I don’t know if I should curse him or not,” she confessed.

The man had sat quietly beside her, behaved like any gentleman, and paid both their fares before alighting. Nothing about his conduct hinted at wrongdoing, which made the theft all the more shocking.

Online reactions poured in from commuters who’ve faced similar ordeals. One Lagos banker even revealed she’d lost her phone twice on commercial buses. Readers are now urging travellers to keep valuables close and only carry small change when boarding.

Stakeholders warn the escalating Middle East conflict is disrupting shipping routes to Nigeria and raising import costs.

These closures of the Strait of Hormuz and security threats in the Red Sea and Suez Canal have led to higher insurance premiums, longer transit routes and increased bunker expenses. SAN Chair Boma Alabi and ANLCA’s Dr Kayode Farinto cite surcharges of $3,000–$4,000 per container. Maritime consultant Daniel Odibe adds carriers may prioritize European routes, bypassing West Africa.

Importers are already adjusting their supply strategies as they grapple with rising operating costs and the risk of higher inflation.

Nollywood veteran Ireti Doyle explains why she kept quiet after her divorce from Patrick Doyle. She says the details of their split were nobody’s business except close family and friends who attended their wedding.

In an interview with Morayo Afolabi Brown, Ireti stressed that social media thrives on clickbait. She refused to perform for an audience that doesn’t care and chose to focus on healing rather than online drama.

The actress also shared why she still uses the surname Doyle. Years of building her brand under that name made it hers. She urged anyone going through a painful breakup to reflect inwardly instead of ranting online.
