Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan of Kogi Central has announced her return to the Senate after a Federal High Court in Abuja nullified her suspension. The court ruled that her six-month suspension was excessive and unconstitutional, ordering her immediate recall.

In a trending social media video, she expressed gratitude to her supporters and celebrated her victory, stating, “We shall resume in the Senate on Tuesday by the grace of God.” The court also fined her N5 million for contempt over a Facebook post, which was deemed a breach of a court injunction.

The suspension, which followed a heated Senate session where she accused the Senate President of sexual harassment, sparked widespread outrage. The court's decision affirms her rights and challenges the Senate’s disciplinary action, emphasizing the importance of due process and free speech for legislators.

My child wasn’t a “bad” student — they were simply overwhelmed. They struggled to express their feelings, which sometimes led to acting out. While working on a parenting eBook, I explored emotional intelligence tools and started applying them at home. These included naming emotions, calming techniques before homework, and reflective listening. Within weeks, the school called to ask what had changed. I realized that children often don’t need harsher discipline; they need emotional understanding. I’ve shared this experience and more in my recent book. If anyone is interested in a free excerpt or the full eBook, I’d be happy to share the link. Let me know if this resonates with you. — Titilayo Abdulaziz-Bada

Have you ever wondered why some women, after a breakup or divorce, choose to deny the child's father access to their children?

Is this decision driven by genuine concern for the child's safety, or is it a form of punishment for past hurts? Every child deserves love, support, and guidance from both parents. But can a mother alone provide the emotional and psychological balance that a father offers?

Many fathers want to be present and responsible, but sometimes they are shut out. Should a child be used as a tool in adult conflicts? Emotional, physical, or financial pain can influence these decisions. However, should that pain prevent a child from receiving the love and support they need?

Let's discuss how shared responsibilities and co-parenting can lighten the load and benefit the child's well-being. Can mothers look beyond their pain and prioritize their child's needs? How can they foster a healthy environment for the child's growth?

Join the conversation on how to promote better co-parenting and put the child's best interests first.

They told me to speak, but only their words escaped my lips. I share my story exactly as they framed it.

Yes, I was assaulted. Yet they blamed my dress, my night out, the wine I drank, even my laughter. I wasn’t taught to shrink myself small enough to satisfy them.

They questioned my upbringing and my silence. They offered loopholes instead of justice and urged me to forgive and forget—always protecting him, never me.

Now I turn to you. Weren’t you about to say it was my fault? Go on. Tell me—surely I am not the victim.

Experiencing Harmattan in Nigeria can be tough on our skin. Dry air, dusty winds, cracked lips, and flaky skin are common during this season. Every December, my skin would become rough and ashy, and my heels would crack. My kids would tease me, calling my legs chalky. It reached a point where I decided I had to do something.

I consulted a friend who runs a small organic skincare business in Abuja. She emphasized that Harmattan skin needs moisture and proper hydration, not just creams. I revamped my skincare routine with simple, natural remedies. I applied raw shea butter morning and night, used fresh aloe vera gel on my face, and made a lip balm with Vaseline and coconut oil. Drinking at least 2 liters of water daily and avoiding hot showers also helped. Adding a humidifier in the kids’ room reduced air dryness.

Now, my skin stays moisturized, my heels are smooth, and I even sell homemade shea butter jars in my community. With the right care, Harmattan doesn’t have to damage your skin. To every Nigerian woman battling dry skin this season, stay natural, stay moisturized, and keep drinking water. Your skin will thank you.

Namibian President Netumbo Nandi-Ndaitwah revealed in her first State of the Nation Address that from 2026, the government will fully fund tuition and registration fees for all undergraduate students at public universities and vocational training centers. This bold move aims to improve access to higher education for Namibia’s 3 million citizens, especially the 2.1 million youth under 35 facing unemployment and poverty.

The policy builds on Namibia’s existing free primary and secondary education, responding to calls from movements like #FeesMustFall. It will cover two main universities—the University of Namibia and Namibia University of Science and Technology—as well as seven vocational centers, including Rundu Vocational Training Centre.

While tuition costs will be covered, students will still need to pay for accommodation, living expenses, and other personal costs. Funding will come from reallocating existing subsidies and the National Student Financial Assistance Fund (NSFAF), raising questions about the program’s long-term sustainability. Critics have expressed concerns about capacity, quality, and whether postgraduate students are included. Overall, this initiative marks a significant step toward making higher education more accessible in Namibia.

The Anambra State Commander of NAPTIP, Ibadin Judith-Chukwu, has revealed a disturbing rise in baby trafficking in rural communities. Young couples are allegedly pretending to cohabit to produce babies, which are then sold to traffickers.

This trend is fueled by poverty and low awareness, making vulnerable communities easy targets. Women are lured into fake relationships, impregnated, and then robbed of their newborns by men who disappear after selling the babies.

Judith-Chukwu emphasized the efforts of the state’s task force in raising awareness and engaging with traditional and religious leaders. She urged communities to stay alert and collaborate in fighting this organized crime, especially during upcoming sensitization campaigns.

The fight against baby trafficking remains a priority for law enforcement, and community vigilance is crucial to protect innocent children and families.

This is the true story of my health journey battling Nigeria’s medical system. From childhood, I was treated for ulcers with no real solution. In 2020, a doctor in the USA diagnosed me with a sliding hiatal hernia, and I chose natural management.

By 2023, my condition worsened, leading to severe symptoms like inability to eat, vomiting, and chest pain. Despite visiting major government hospitals in Nigeria, I faced negligence, misdiagnosis, and delays. It was only through private care and my own research that I survived a near-fatal emergency.

I lost 16kg in two weeks, and healing has taken over two years. I share this to highlight the flaws in our healthcare system and the importance of self-advocacy, research, and technology like ChatGPT in saving lives. My story is a reminder to prioritize your health and be vigilant in seeking proper care.

The 'BBL smell' is a real phenomenon reported by some patients after undergoing a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) cosmetic surgery. It results from healing fluids, bacterial growth, or fat necrosis, and can vary in severity. While mild odors are common during recovery, persistent or foul smells may indicate complications like infection or tissue death.

Proper hygiene, choosing qualified surgeons, and following aftercare instructions can significantly reduce the risk of experiencing this odor. Social media has heightened awareness, with some stories highlighting extreme cases, but these are not representative of all BBL procedures. Understanding the risks and ensuring professional care are key to a safe outcome.

It’s Not A Joke—the BBL Smell Is Real. And It's Horrible.

This message explores the contrast between living in the flesh and living in the Spirit. The flesh life is driven by vanity, temporary pleasures, and worldly desires, leading to sorrows, pains, and fears. In contrast, the spiritual life is rooted in eternal values, seeking spiritual food and divine rewards that bring lasting joy, peace, and boldness.

The journey to spiritual victory involves dying to the flesh through faith in Jesus Christ's death and resurrection. Paul reminds us in Romans 6:5 that being united with Christ in His death and resurrection signifies a new, eternal life. For me, walking this path took nearly 20 years after my initial salvation, but it ultimately leads to Christ living in us.

Living the victorious life means prioritizing spiritual growth over worldly pursuits. When we accept Jesus and His Word, we experience true salvation and victory. This week, I pray for God's help to die to fleshly desires and rise into the spiritual life. Let us focus on being heavenly-minded and live in the blessings of the Spirit.

Good morning and have a spiritually blessed week from The Gathering Ministry.

Today, we visited a school for children with special needs at 68 Creek Road, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, to conduct a menstrual hygiene education and sanitary pad-making workshop for the junior students.

This initiative emphasizes the importance of inclusive health education. Despite their unique challenges, it was inspiring to train and educate these children. We believe every girl deserves access to menstrual health resources and knowledge.

We also donated a sewing machine to the school to support their skill development. Our gratitude goes to West Africa Container Terminal (WACT), operated by APM Terminals, for funding this program, and to Dufy Global for their partnership.
