by Leave a Comment

Angela Nwosu, a self-acclaimed love therapist, took to Instagram to refer to her husband as her “God” who “made” her.

She explained that she uses the capital “G” when referring to him as her “God” despite corrections from people because he saved her and did her a huge favour by marrying her.

She added that without him, her life would have been “entirely useless”.

She wrote:

My husband made me. My husband transformed my life. My husband saved me. My husband gave my life a meaning. My husband did me a huge favor by marrying me.

The universe knew I would be nothing without Nnaemeka Soundmind Austin My life would’ve been entirely useless, by now. I am the girl that proudly married a God. I was told not to use capital G to describe my God of a husband, but then, nobody knows why I call him God, so nobody has the right to tell me to stop. We all have our Gods, in different forms, I have mine, you have yours.

I keep thanking the universe and all the positive forces of nature that be, for blessing me with a God on earth. The God that I can not live without. The God that I would gladly give my life for, with a huge smile on my face.

I love you so much, Sound m. May the universe continue to protect what we have and keep you safe for me. It will forever be well with you, odogwu m.

AMI parades models by the Seine for fashion week

by Leave a Comment

French fashion label AMI pushed the boat out for its latest fashion show in Paris on Saturday – hosting its catwalk display on the banks of the Seine river at dusk.

The brand, founded just under 10 years ago by designer Alexandre Mattiussi, is one of a reduced number presenting collections with physical events this season, after some labels opted for digital displays and videos for Paris Fashion Week.

Models, including some regular Parisians, paraded AMI’s latest looks on the quay by the river, as guests looked on from a barge, surrounded by Paris’s romantic bridges where passersby stopped to watch.

Multiple screens inside the boat allowed the audience to have a closer look at the runway.

The collection was the first major womenswear one for the brand, which first erupted on the scene with men’s clothing.

Looks included long black dresses, beige suit ensembles, checkered shorts and pencil skirts, while several models wore ruffled pastel dresses with a Pierrot-style collar.

“We need to celebrate a little bit, when you have this kind of crisis, it’s very easy to fall into a kind of depression,” Mattiussi said in an interview before the show, adding he was keen to return to the catwalk in spite of the coronavirus pandemic.

“I feel like there is a challenge and responsibility to look up and look at the light and maybe to participate in this kind of ‘beginning again”.”

Masked guests, who were offered alcohol gel upon arrival – with 140 in attendance compared to the 600 or AMI might usually invite – included “Game of Thrones” actress Maisie Williams, who also watched Christian Dior’s show earlier in the week.

French actress Emmanuelle Beart also attended.

“The final rites, which will take me into seclusion for 21 days is the rituals marking the completion of my ascension and the most overtly religious of all the rituals around the Oluyin succession.

“During the period, representatives from each of the four quarters will visit me while in seclusion to tell the history, dos and donts of their quarters and the town from different angles.

“The period will guide me in the conduct at the palace and as well set the records straight in tackling issues that may arise while on the stool,”the Oluyin said.

Oba Ajakaiye called on those who ran the race with him to sheathe their swords and join hands to move the community forward in the path of peace, progress and prosperity.

“We will harness the energy and ingenuity of all our people – men, women, boys and girls; leverage on technology and intelligence gathering.

“And, of course, work with the state and our local government to keep Iyin safe, secure and peaceful, because that is the prerequisite for growth and development.

“We will also use the instrumentality of the traditional institution to resolve conflicts amicably.

“We shall revive and raise the profile of our traditional festivals in order to make Iyin-Ekiti a preferred tourists destination. Apart from our festivals, we also have some tourist attractions.

“We will not leave anyone behind in this quest to make Iyin great,” the Ekiti monarch said.

by Leave a Comment

The Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, Ojaja II, on Sunday moved into Ile Mole, Iremo Quarters, Ile-Ife, for a seven-day seclusion as the ancient Olojo Festival kicks off in the city.

The monarch appeared in his usual white traditional attire laced with colourful ancient beads on his way out of the Ile Oodua Palace of Ife.

He told the newsmen that he will use the spiritual moment of seclusion as a point of contact with God Almighty towards the total eradication of the coronavirus as well as for peace and stability in the country.

Oba Ogunwusi explained that Olojo is a festival that connotes a strong indication of God’s creation and the day of the first dawn on earth.

“I am going into seclusion, I am going into fasting and prayer in the ways of our ancestors.

“As you know, we’re gradually winning the war against coronavirus and we must indeed be thankful because we are not superior to those countries being crippled by this pandemic.

“After the seven-day seclusion, there follows the climax of it, which is the procession of the sacred Aare crown with which we will pray for the entire nation and humanity.

“Every move of the Aare procession is highly significant, including the junctions of spiritual and historical significance where I would make supplications and prayers to our ancestors.

“The first junction indicates where the first dawn came and that is where we must stop, followed by where the pathfinder deity, which we call Ogun sighted the first dawn and that is Oke-Mogun.

“When I came down from the hill, there was turmoil among the deities because Aare is the first monarchical crown.

“At some point they all converged at Ita Oranfe, where they all agreed that kingship and organisation should commence and that is where the modern day democracy and other forms of government emanated from,” he said.

ROYAL NEWS reports that during the seclusion rites, the monarch would be incommunicado and not grant audience to anyone.

NDLEA clarifies stand on drug integrity test for intending couples

by Leave a Comment

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has shed light on “drug integrity test” for intending couples.
The Head of Public Affairs, NDLEA, Mr Jonah Achema in a statement on Saturday in Abuja said that what the agency proposed was totally different from what was reported.

Achema said that the clarification became neccessary following the report circulating on the media that the agency was to conduct drug test for ladies before marriage.
NAN gathered that a report had been circulating on social media by an online publication that the NDLEA would conduct drug integrity test for ladies before marriage.

According to Achema, the attention of the NDLEA has been drawn to the barrage of reactions to a report by an online publication.

“This in which was wrongly credited to the Chairman, NDLEA, Col. Muhammad Abdallah (Rtd) on proposed drug integrity test for intending couples by religious organisation.

“The report mischievous headline is that NDLEA is to test ladies for drugs before marriage. Whereas in the body of the report, there was no place NDLEA chairman was quoted as saying so.
“For the avoidance of doubt, what the chairman said was that as an extension of drug integrity test policy in public service, NDLEA is also considering partnering with the religious leaders.
“This consideration is to make drug test prerequisite for marriage in churches and mosques as in the case of HIV/AIDs and Genotype tests, ” he said.
“It therefore smack of cheap chauvinism of one to manipulate statement meant for intending couples to mean ladies as if ladies is a generic term for the marriage institution or intending couple.

Achema said that the propriety of targeting the family of effective drug control was not debatable adding that most drug problems complicate the family institution, leading to broken homes and poor parenting.
He said that it was the dutiful thinking of NDLEA to involve religious organisations to persuasively engage intending couples to ascertain their drug use status.

This he said was considered so as to seek help where neccessary before marriage in order to promote public health within the context of agency’s drug preventive strategy.

“Making it a women affair is trivialising the issue and trying to engender discrimination which is far from the intention of the gender friendly NDLEA.
