    There’s nothing attractive about a man every woman wants – Tolanibaj

    Reality TV star, Tolani Shobajo, popularly known as Tolanibaj, has said that there’s nothing attractive about a man who every woman wants.

    The former Big Brother Naija season five housemate made this known on her Instagram story on Friday.

    She wrote, “You ever get ya hands on a nigga everybody think the goat and he really a lamb. There’s nothing attractive nor exciting about a man that every female wants…Lowkey men who like to stay home” (sic)

     

    TheNewsGuru recalls that her statement comes days after the BBNaija Lockdown ex-housemate also made her birthday gift expectations known to the public.

    Taking to her Instagram story, she wrote, “My birthday is on Wednesday. I want a black Velar and a new house in Jesus name.”

    Former Big Brother Naija housemates have been known to receive houses, cars, and other luxury gifts from their fans.

    Two weeks ago, Tolanibaj’s fellow Lockdown ex-housemate, Tochi, was given a car days after he was mocked for not having one from his fans.

  • [Devotional] In His Presence: Do your best and leave the rest to God – Oke Chinye

    By Oke Chinye

    Read: MARK 4:26–29

    Meditation verse:
    “and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how” (Mark 4:27).

    Your control over life’s occurrences, whether good or bad is very limited. Jesus gave a parable about a man who scatters seed on the ground and goes to sleep, expecting a harvest. This man has no knowledge of how the seed grew into a plant and bore its fruits. In a similar vein, Ecclesiastes 11:5–6 states, “As you do not know what the way of the wind is, or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, so you do not know the works of God who makes everything”. God’s understanding, control and ownership are unsearchable, while yours are grossly limited.

    So then, what should your attitude to life be? Be sure to put in your best in everything you do and, having done that go to sleep like the sower in Jesus’ parable, leaving the results to God. Increase comes from God and whatever He is involved in will grow. In every endeavour in life, there is a seed time and a harvest time. It is only a matter of time.

    Here’s God’s command to you: “In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, either this or that, or whether both alike will be good” (Ecclesiastes 11:6). Are you going to obey this command today?

  • The enigma of man and connections, By Abdu Rafiu

    The enigma of man and connections, By Abdu Rafiu

    The way faces lit up in joy in several quarters in the South-West you would think that the coronation of Olu of Warri was exclusively and purely an affair of this part. They had keenly followed the development that culminated in the emergence of Prince Tsola Emiko as the 21st monarch. There was rejoicing and dancing. All hail the new King, Ogiame Atuwatse 111. One can imagine what would have happened in some clubhouses in Lagos and Ibadan, but for the caution and restrictions of Mr. COVID-19 and its ruthless cousin, the Delta variant.

    The way faces lit up in joy in several quarters in the South-West you would think that the coronation of Olu of Warri was exclusively and purely an affair of this part.

One can imagine what would have happened in some clubhouses in Lagos and Ibadan, but for the caution and restrictions of Mr. COVID-19 and its ruthless cousin, the Delta variant.

    Understandably, Anthropologists not content with the Biblical account have for ages been pacing through the forests of the world from the Middle East to Europe, from Africa to China, looking for clues. As usual, scientists are wading through fossil records for a new lead: “How man began.” Until a man has a clearer picture of an issue that gives him conviction, he is not likely to give up on his inquiries and digging for an answer. Findings, laudable as the efforts are, have always ended stirring up controversies on where man first appeared—in Africa or China. At the end of the day, we are not led beyond the limestone bed and cave where light is being flashed for clues in relics behind by inhabitants now of blessed memory. The fossils have made scientists suggest that the “first primate look anything like modern humans and the first to use fire and create sophisticated stone tools,” dates back more than two million years.

    All the efforts have not provided man the answer to the origin of man. Instead what the discoveries have supplied are proofs of the age-long journey of a man through this earth. And the question remains: “When, where, and how did the human race arise? At a certain stage of his development man lived in caves. That was long before he developed skills to prepare dwellings resting on structures. But a trace of how he began cannot be found in caves—trace that he lived there, yes. No expectant woman will accept that the baby she is carrying may have its origin from her dwelling place. Regardless of the nature of the dwelling, a woman will become expectant when she is due. But where does the baby she is carrying from? What is the origin of man? Until we answer this question with conviction we may not be able to arouse reverence within them for the perfection of the mechanism that made the appearance of man possible on the face of the earth. They will also not be able to weigh the consequences of their actions. The mystery has led to a lack of accountability and a let-go feeling. Today, we see people killing their fellow human beings with glee and triumphal rejoicing totally ignorant of the calamitous burden they heap on themselves awaiting excruciating atonement in the Beyond when they are led through grinding mills. Yet, ignorance is no excuse in earthly laws, how much more the Laws of Creation which are perfect and automatic in self-enforcing.

    Many wonder: Was it here on earth that man was created? The Darwinists doubt the creation of man. To them he is a product of evolution…he evolved from apes. Ancient people in some cultures long came to recognition of a home for man beyond the earthly, and they say of their departed that they have gone home. In some cultures, the departed is admonished about his path after the earthly, what he should eat, and what he should avoid. He is told of helpers he would meet. What this suggests is that if there is a home beyond the earthly to which a man returns after his sojourn here, he must have come from there. In such cultures, searching for evidence of the origin of man in fossils and caves will be laughable. Indeed, it will be hilarity. Although the findings of scientists will nearly always provoke debates and controversies, what is even more likely to ignite arguments and even engender contempt is the theory that no essential difference separates human beings from other animals. A school of thought believes that the former makes tools, use fire, reasons, and laughs.

    What is often glossed over in the search for the origin of man is incarnation. The knowledge of pro-creation is widespread and birth is a self-evident truth. When incarnation is considered, the direction of the search for the origin of man will necessarily change. Incarnation is when a man takes possession of his mother’s womb and the baby and mother become separate entities. The stage when pregnancy has gone halfway in its development and entry into the womb is marked by the first movement of the baby. When this has happened, there is blissful joy in the mother-to-be and she glows peculiarly. Before the entry, the soul hovers around the expectant mother, and many an attentive mother can already sense the presence of a baby around her while the bridge which it will use for entry is being prepared by a species of Nature Beings and the body it will use throughout its journey in the earthly life is provided by the mother from what she eats which itself is derived from plants which themselves are fashioned from radiations of the soil, which is why it is said of the physical body of man, “Dust thou art and to dust thou shall return.” If we accept the point about incarnation, we must accept the concept of disincarnation. If we accept the concept of disincarnation we must accept the concept of reincarnation. Then the next question should be where is the incarnating soul from? What is the soul itself? Soul, as I have previously explained in these pages, is a man without his physical body, the earthly cloak. It is the spirit with finer coverings which coverings he discards in their appropriate points of origin beginning with the dropping of his body on earth which we call death as he makes progress towards home—the Spiritual Realm—until he finally appears there, glowing, illuminating in indescribable beauty and size with only spiritual coverings, if he fulfills the purpose of his sojourn on earth—the maturity of the spirit. According to the new knowledge—a revelation of Truth—mediated today on earth to mankind, the spiritual reality exists and is tangible and firm, indeed firmer than the ground on which we stand which in any case is material and is bound to disintegrate someday—and tangible as the chair on which we sit. What this means is that spirit, which the real man is, is what we encounter as we deal with our fellowmen. He only wraps himself with substances of the planes of existence he traverses to appear and sojourn temporarily on earth. Each body he carries he sees through it, using the substance of which the body is made. Thus he sees with the physical eye, and in the ethereal with the ethereal eye, and in the Spiritual with the spiritual eye. On earth, his ethereal eyes may temporarily open such that he can sense faintly some affinity and connections, with some other people. A clear case of when the ethereal eyes opened was when the Three Wise Men beheld the Heavenly Hosts Who accompanied the Lord Christ on His Mission to the earth. It is only from a revelation or knowledge brought from outside the earth by beings that have lived on earth before or higher beings from Higher Realms or by Lord that man can have knowledge of his origin and who, indeed, he is. This is the enlightenment man has been afforded for ages, but to which he has paid scant attention. Instead, he digs for his origin with shovels in caves

    What then is the place of the Bible account of the creation of man? The account is correct; it is the interpretation that has always been amiss. When it is said that man was formed out of clay and the Highest breathed into his nostrils, it is referring to animation and the forming of the body from matter. The animation is by the spirit. What is described is the entry of the living spirit into the material. In this context, it makes sense not to expect the Garden of Eden not to be on the face of the earth. As a matter of fact, it is in the Spiritual Realm, our home, the home of the human spirit from whence it came. To set foot on earth, he had to incarnate in a species of animals that are ape-like, which by that time had reached the peak of their development. After the great event, the species of the animals had been long extinct. Also, it should be pointed out that the occurrence was only once, for it was only to enable man to set foot on earth. Man took over his own propagation from there. But right from the beginning what man and animal share in common is the body. Their core differs. While man is spirit, the animal carries soul which emanates from a realm in Creation lower than that of man, the spiritual, the body which man acquired from anthropoid was fashioned over time into the beauty of today. Charles Darwin, the great scientist, was only able to trace the externals, and it is with these externals which the scientists of our times still pre-occupy themselves.

  • My market is expensive, I cannot date a broke man -Tacha declares

    My market is expensive, I cannot date a broke man -Tacha declares

    A former Big Brother Naija contestant and social media influencer, Natasha Akide, popularly known as Tacha has averred that she cannot date a broke man.

    Tacha made this known as a guest on TVC’s breakfast show, ‘Your View’.

    The reality TV star said a man would still love her without makeup because she is beautiful.

    “I am beautiful still without makeup and hair. He definitely would. The Tacha market is expensive, deliberate and very intentional”.

    Asked about the qualities she looks out for in a man, she said: “He has to be rich, hardworking and sweet.I am such a hard worker. For every time I am out there, I love when you encourage me.Go for your spec. I am so sorry, I can’t date a responsible but broke man. Everyone has his/her own spec so I will urge people to go for their spec. People have different expectations. As for me, my market is expensive. My man must be rich, hardworking, sweet and encouraging, God fearing.”

     

    Speaking further, she noted that young ladies shouldn’t look good just because they want to attract men.

    “I don’t look good to attractive men, if the guy comes fine. But I am not looking good to attract men”.

  • If you question the position of man in the family, you are demonic – Mrs Oyedepo

    If you question the position of man in the family, you are demonic – Mrs Oyedepo

    Pastor Faith Abiola Oyedepo, wife of Dr. David Oyedepo, founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide a.k.a. Winners’ Chapel has said any woman who questions the position of the man in the family is under demonic influence.

    Oyedepo stated this via her official Facebook page, saying God expects that just as the Church is subject to Christ in everything, even so, women should be in subjection to their husbands in everything.

    In a series of posts she shared via her Facebook page, the wife of the revered man of God stressed that the woman must learn to submit to the man of the home, saying once a woman lays hold on the key of reverence, she has succeeded in unlocking her husband’s heart.

    “Any woman or women’s organization that attempts to question the position of the man in the family should be regarded as being under a demonic influence.

    “God expects that just as the Church is subject to Christ in everything, even so, women should be in subjection to their husbands in everything.

    “Once a woman lays hold on the key of reverence, she has succeeded in unlocking her husband’s heart. You reverence your husband, when his word counts in your ears and heart, and his instructions matter to you,” she shared via her Facebook page.

    Speaking on the importance of a right attitude, Oyedepo stated: “The building or destruction of any family is dependent on the woman of the home. As a woman with purpose, walking with a minister in God’s vineyard, you should be a co-builder of his ministry; not pulling it down with your character. Attitude is a very strong force; it controls almost everything in a man’s life.

    “Someone made an analogy that if A represents 1 and Z represents 26, adding up the numbers which make up attitude (that is, a=1 + t=20 and so on), will add up to 100.

    “He came to the conclusion that your attitude represents 100% of you. That means, it sums up everything about you. It defines your life, what you stand for, what you would achieve and what becomes of you at the end.

    “If you sit back to analyse how much has been attracted to you, good or bad, you will realise that your attitude has been one major influence as to why.

    “This represents the way you think, act, and interpret situations and circumstances around you. As a wife, you must possess the right attitude towards your husband, your family, the ministry, the brethren and the church of Christ at large.

    “This position sets you as a role model to others, who would watch you to either imitate or criticise you. So, you must cultivate godly virtues that would enhance your ministry.

    “Attitudes like anger, hatred, malice, bitterness, strife, sulkiness, favouritism and covetousness should be laid aside, while you look on fully for the fruits of the Spirit.

    “You are to be a source of joy to many, a life spring, comfort to your husband and an attraction to your ministry. So, let your attitude speak louder than your words”.
