My baby. We're growing older together and it's exactly what I'd hoped it would be.

May you never lose your wonder, your big belly-laughs (and your industry laugh), your dreams, your joy, your love, your peace, your grace, your smiles, your hope. May the world be good to you. May God stay blessing you. May wisdom abide with you. May you stay beautiful, because you're too vain to be basic tbh.

I love you so much. Happy birthday my lover na friend. Issa full birthday weekend. Periodt!

Onyebuchi Okocha, popularly known as ‘Onyeze Jesus’, the Founder of Children of Light Anointing Ministries, Nkpor, Idemili North local government area of Anambra state has been arrested by operatives from Anambra Police Command, IgbereTV reports.

A source close to the investigation confirmed the news of his arrest to IgbereTV.

According to the source who does not wish to be named as he is not authorised to speak on the matter; “ Onyeze Jesus is in police custody. He was arrested on Wednesday, 27th January 2021, and will likely be arraigned for various offences on Thursday, 28th January, 2021”.

Recall that on Monday, 25th January 2021, Anambra state government through a statement issued by Mr C. Don Adinuba, the Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenement warned Onyeze Jesus against his practices which the government termed ‘criminal and indecent conduct in the name of religion’.

Also, in a related statement, Anambra state Ministry of Health had on Wednesday, 27th January, 2021 warned hospitals and mortuaries operating in the state against allowing ‘Onyeze Jesus’ access to their facilities to carry out his widely publicised claim, and planned ‘magic’ that he would raise 7 corpses from the dead on the 28th of January, 2021.

Many people have expressed dismay over some of the videos that ‘Onyeze Jesus’ regularly posts on social media including parading people naked in a river (indecent exposure), abuse of the Nigerian Naira currency, animal cruelty and his get-rich - quick promises to gullible members of the public.

Those who know the self styled Prophet say that he is from Amafor village in Nkpor, is about 32 years of age, was once a bus conductor, and never studied beyond Primary Six.

The Oluwo of Iwoland, HIM Oba Abdulrosheed Adewale Akanbi, has urged the federal government to consider outright ban of foreign jeans to promote local fabrics and boost Nigeria's economy, IgbereTV reports.

The monarch made the call in his palace today January 27. According to him, the ban on foreign jeans will help Nigerian youths focus on utilizing the unique fabrics in Nigeria to make jeans and other fashion pieces.

"I want to task the federal government to outrightly ban importation of foreign jeans into Nigeria, promote local jeans made of Ofi to aid job opportunities and advantages."

“It is about using our own fabrics to make clothes of western dresses which our kids like. You must think like the children and the youths if you want to influence them in any way."

“We cannot compel our youths and teenagers to start wearing agbada made of Aso Oke or Aso Ofi. But now I have branded our Aso Oke as Telu Jeans and Telu Jeans is normal jeans trousers, shorts and jacket made of Aso Oke."

"Our traditional clothes and accessories such as Ofi and beads are demonstration of rich culture and luxuries of wealth. So enticing and admiring but because a people affiliated wearing Ofi and using some cultural accessories as paganism, our children begin to run away from it."

"You only see a Yoruba child wearing Ofi and using beads at either wedding or naming ceremony. You can't see Alfa or Pastor wearing Ofi or using beads to Mosque or Church. Why?

"I will lead the struggle to clean our culture and promote cultural accessories. I will provide technical requirements to assist the government in actualization of the dream."

“Aso Oke will also be used to sew suits and all office, school and religious wears. This will increase the demand for this local fabric and create jobs for our people who are weavers. It will also promote our culture and we will spend less money on importation of foreign clothes.

“It is about using our own fabrics to make clothes of the western world which our kids like. You must think like the children and the youths if you want to influence them in any way".

"As traditional rulers, we have the role of clearly differentiating between the rich Yoruba culture and religion. The infiltration is scaring to our children. The culture has been lumped with traditional religion. It is disheartening. Our culture is clean. It has to be promoted and clearlyhe said distinguished to make it adorable and admirable to our generations."

Sequel to inauguration of the Judicial Commission of Inquiry by the administration of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu State, to investigate and ascertain the remote and immediate causes of the recent crisis that erupted in Oruku, Nkanu East Local Government Area, which led to the killing of the community's traditional ruler, late Igwe Emmanuel Chidiebere Mba, the Commission has called for Memoranda from the general public, individuals, organizations and concerned persons, IgbereTV reports.

In a statement by the Secretary of the Commission, Dr. Godwin Anigbo, “the Memoranda shall be in ten (10) copies typed in A4 paper, and addressed to: The Chairman, Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the killing of HRH Igwe Emmanuel Chidiebere Mba, Court 8, Judiciary Headquarters, opposite WAEC Office, Enugu".

Dr. Anigbo disclosed that “the deadline for submission of Memoranda shall be two weeks from 16th January, 2021, but not later than Monday, 1st February, 2021”.

It would be recalled that Gov. Ugwuanyi while inaugurating the Judicial Commission of Inquiry, headed by Justice Harold Eya, canvassed peace and charged members of the panel to expeditiously and most sincerely discharge the onerous task, which outcome, he said, will inform further government actions on the Oruku crisis.

The governor reiterated his administration’s commitment to the security and welfare of the people, which is the primary purpose of government as enshrined in the constitution of Nigeria.

He further urged the people of Oruku Community to stay the course of peace, which his administration has striven to entrench and nurture in the state."

Happy birthday to my beautiful wife Regina, the quintessential Daughter of Zion and the mother of our beautiful daughter Oluwaremilekun.

I am so proud of you. You are blessed with virtue, wisdom, compassion, understanding, knowledge, faith, courage, maturity, strength, loyalty, insight, foresight, honor and so much more.

All these years you have endured through thick and thin and you have remained as constant as the northern star. And in the process you have taught me so much.

Where would I be today without you and your constant love and support? What would or could I do without you?

Few understand our love and frankly they do not need to because we both know that NOTHING can ever come between us.

From the first day we met in 1993 you encouraged me and you have been kind to me. In those days you refused to turn your back on me even when others had given up and you gave me a new lease of life.

From the day we got married four years later in 1997 you have shown me nothing but love, respect and understanding.

You have encouraged me and kept me going even in the most challenging and difficult times. You never waivered and you have always been the center of my universe and the pillar of my life.

Through the years we have weathered many storms, we have experienced many ups and downs and we have laughed and cried together: we have seen it all.

And despite the numerous challenges we have endured and God has never failed us. He has ALWAYS been faithful to us and He has ALWAYS honored His word in our lives.

I love and appreciate you and I always will. You are the constant factor in my life: my strength, my soul, my love and my heartbeat.

You are diligent, loyal, trustworthy, compassionate, faithful, insightful and strong and over the years you have become not just my wife but also my confidante, my collaborator, my sister, my mother, my advisor, my counsellor, my mentor and my best friend.

My love for you is unconditional. It is pure and untainted. It is unadulterated and beyond human comprehension. It is effervescent, evergreen and everlasting. Until the end of time, both in this world and in the next, I will always love you.

I will always be grateful to you for giving this 'poet warrior' hope and making him believe in himself over and over again despite his many foibles, complexities, weaknesses and flaws.

Without you I could not have made it over the last 28 years and without you there would be no FFK today!

You gave up everything for me and fought every battle with and alongside me. Shoulder to shoulder we faced the rigours of life and by the power of our God we were always triumphant.

So it has always been and so it shall always be. We shall always win because our Lord is with us and He is faithful.

God bless you Daughter of Zion and may He grant you many more years of peace, joy, good health, victories and prosperity.

May He reward you for your faith in Him, your love for Him and your love for me. May He guard you jealously and cause you to flourish and excel.

May He exalt your horn and enlarge your coast. May He be the lifter of your head and may He be your shield and your glory.

May He pave your pathways with butter and may He cause your enemies to bow before you.

May He lift you up to where you belong and may He grant you everlasting favour. May He cause your star to shine brightly and may He preserve you and make your dreams and aspirations come true.

You are everything to me: you always have been and you always will be. Together we walk into destiny and may the heavens speak and fight for us. Have a great day my love. Many more years to come. Te amo mami.

"Is it okay? Take it up a little. Have you marked your end? Take it to the other one. Lock your own. Bring both of them closer. Are there bubbles in it?"

"It’s my 50th birthday! Yaaay! And in a bid to appreciate my own beauty and while at it, feel utterly special without a care... I opted for lingerie
When was the last time you wore a lingerie? For yourself! It’s been a while for me and I used to love how lingerie made me feel; confident and empowered. Lately I’ve been in a funk, but all that means nothing as I reemerge a new, special me. And I feel so much better.
Hey ladies, lingerie doesn’t have to serve any intentional sexual purpose, so why don't you wear it for yourself too and appreciate your own beauty. If you haven’t already got a special piece, try to get one! It rocks!"
