There’s a well-known Nigerian woman—she’s the founder of a media platform we all know and love—who’s stepping into the world of filmmaking for the first time.

The movie she’s working on? A feel-good love story with the kind of warm, fuzzy vibes that remind you of Christmas in Lagos. We don’t know all the details yet (it’s still pretty hush-hush), but there’s definitely an “if you know, you know”energy around it.

It also seems like she might be keeping her name low-key on the project for now. Maybe it’s nerves. Maybe she’s waiting for the right time. Either way, sis—if this word is for you—we just want to say: God’s got you.

We’re rooting for your success, and if you’re facing any doubt or confusion about any part of the process, may the Holy Spirit flood you with clarity, peace, and divine inspiration. You’re not just telling a story—you’re walking in purpose.

Go forth and create.

Slim down. Snatch up. Smooth out. Tone this. Tuck that.

It’s waist trainers in the morning, surgery consultations at night, and reels of people saying, “Do this to drop 10kg fast.” And honestly? It’s a lot.

Let’s be real — fat has become something to fight, not understand. And while yes, health matters, and yes, movement is good, this obsession with shrinking ourselves is becoming less about wellness and more about conforming.

This isn’t about judging anyone who’s had surgery, gone on a weight loss journey, or tried to “glow up” their body. But we do have to pause and ask: what happened to body positivity? The movement that once championed self-love in every shape and size is slowly being replaced by a silent competition of who can disappear the fastest.

Is it for health? Or is it because we’ve been told our bodies aren’t good enough unless they look like someone else’s?

Is it about confidence? Or is it about control?

The truth is, it’s okay to want to feel better in your body. It’s okay to want to change. But you don’t have to hate yourself first to get there. You don’t have to become smaller to be taken seriously. You don’t have to chase a trend to be considered beautiful.

And no, being bigger doesn’t automatically mean being unhealthy. The scale can’t tell your story. Your dress size doesn’t measure your discipline. And some of the most radiant women you’ll ever meet are the ones who walk with softness, security, and self-respect, not abs.

So breathe. You don’t have to rush into anything. You don’t have to compete with filtered bodies or surgery edits. You’re allowed to be present in the body you have right now and still be beautiful. Still be loved. Still be enough.

Let your “glow up” be rooted in truth, not trends.
Move because you love your body, not because you hate it.
Choose health because it’s good for your soul — not just your selfies.
And whatever you do, don’t let anyone make you feel like your body needs fixing before your life can begin.

Because at the core of real body positivity is this:

You’re not behind. You’re not “too big.”
You’re already worthy.

In a recent conversation, she shared what felt like a lifetime of storms. At 19, she was bleeding for 127 days straight. Doctors called it PCOS. She called it the girl with the issue of blood. “I bled for 127 days,” she said. “They wanted to put me on birth control, but I was like, I’m 19 — for what?”

That wasn’t even the worst of it.

She’d always battled her weight and self-esteem, but something shifted. She got tired. “I told myself, Boomie, it’s time to change.” That shift wasn’t just physical — it was spiritual. What looked like a weight loss journey from the outside was really a healing from the inside.

“I found God, and I found me,” she said. “What people were seeing was a body transformation. But it was deeper. God was healing wounds I didn’t even know I had.”

Then came the unthinkable.

Her brother was murdered. Shot. A senseless act by someone who didn’t even know him. Just days before, she’d felt a tug to take her kids to see him. “We spent the whole day together. The next day, he took them out. The next day, he was gone.”

The grief didn’t stop there. Her father passed away 10 days later, from the shock. And just the week before that, her pastor, someone she called a father, died too. “Three men in three weeks. It was like the ground under me disappeared.”

One of the most haunting moments she shared was waking up at 3 a.m. to the sound of her mom screaming: “God, help me. God, no. Help me.” She became the rock for her mother while still trying to hold herself together.

And through it all, she clung to God.

“I didn’t ask why,” she said. “I just knew He didn’t do this to me. I knew His thoughts toward me were good, even when none of this looked good.” Her response wasn’t rage. It was worship. “I went on a prayer walk. All I could do was speak in tongues for an hour. Then I came back and put on worship music. I had no words, only surrender.”

Her healing didn’t happen overnight. Her strength came in layers. Her faith wasn’t performative, it was lived. And what stood out most? She didn’t pretend it was easy. She didn’t glamorize the pain. But she let God sit with her in it.

“God didn’t need me to have it all together,” she said. “He just needed my yes.”

It’s amazing technology can offer so much, yet it also gives me pause.

Because here’s the thing: the Holy Spirit is supposed to be our guide, our teacher, our comforter. Jesus promised that the Spirit would teach us all things (John 14:26). That means, no matter where we are in life or faith, the Spirit is there to speak to us personally, not just give generic answers, but touch our hearts in a way no AI can.

But how often do we stop and really ask the Holy Spirit to lead us? To open our eyes and soften our hearts? Instead, it’s tempting (I’m guilty too) to grab the easiest, quickest answer — to outsource our spiritual growth to technology. Because it’s convenient. Because it feels like a safe shortcut.

What worries me is when that convenience becomes a replacement. When pastors skip prayer and preparation, relying on AI to draft sermons. When believers stop listening to their own quiet, spiritual nudges and instead search for the “right” explanation from a bot. When we forget that faith isn’t just about knowledge, it’s about relationship.

AI can be a tool. It can help us research, get ideas, and learn facts. It’s not the enemy. But it’s not the Holy Spirit.

No chatbot can pray for you, weep with you, or gently convict your heart in a way that changes you from the inside out.

The Spirit speaks in whispers, in stillness, in moments when we slow down and open ourselves to God’s presence. That’s something no algorithm can replicate.

So maybe this is a little reminder for me and you:

Use technology. Use AI. But don’t let it replace the quiet, sacred space where the Spirit moves.
Don’t ask a bot for the comfort that only God can give.
Don’t lean on quick answers and forget the lifelong journey of seeking His voice.

Because the Holy Spirit isn’t just a source of information. He’s a living, breathing presence — a Teacher, Counselor, and Friend who wants to meet you, uniquely, right where you are.

And that? That’s something truly irreplaceable.

There’s something so fresh and fiery about what Gaise Baba and Lawrence Oyor did with this one. It’s the same “I have decided to follow Jesus” that we all know from children’s church, but this version? It’s giving revival meets street vibe. It’s catchy, it’s vibey, it’s danceable — but more than anything, it feels intentional.

Gaise’s part had me smiling. The way he wove Yoruba into the rhythm while still sounding like he’s on a mission? So good. I loved the line: “On God, mind is made up” — because same. Sometimes following Jesus isn’t about how spiritual you look. It’s about choosing Him again and again, even when everything else is louder. Even when it doesn’t “make sense.”

Then Lawrence comes in like fire. If Gaise gave us groove, Lawrence gave us guts. When he said “We will burn the world, we will spend the billions, we will heal the sick…”, I actually paused the song and said “okayyy.” Because in a time where everybody’s soft-launching their backsliding, hearing someone say “we’re going all in for Jesus” without shame? I felt that. Deeply.

What I love most about the song, though, is how communal it feels. Like you could be singing it in your room, or a youth conference, or just walking to work with your earphones in — and you’d still feel like you’re part of something bigger. It’s not a lonely kind of faith. It’s bold. It’s loud. It’s unbothered.

I don’t know who else needed a reminder this week, but this was mine: it’s already too late to turn back. Too many prayers prayed. Too much grace tasted. Too much love encountered. Turning back? For what?

So yeah, I’ve decided to follow Jesus. No turning back. Not today. Not ever.

So I assumed saying yes would become automatic, expected. Even if you’re tired. Even if you’re not in the mood. Even if your head and heart aren’t in the same place. Because that’s what a good wife does, right?

But the more I think about it, the more I realize that idea doesn’t leave room for your humanity. Or your emotions. Or your safety. And it definitely doesn’t sound like love.

Yes, marriage is about giving. About serving. About showing up for each other. But that doesn’t erase the need for consent. Marriage doesn’t cancel boundaries — it invites a more sacred version of them. The kind where you choose each other again and again, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too.

Consent in marriage isn’t just about “yes” or “no.” It’s about how and why you’re saying it. It’s not about withholding, but it’s also not about ignoring what you’re feeling. It’s okay to say: “I’m not in the right headspace right now, but can we talk about it?” or “I’m just tired right now.” That’s not rejection. That’s honesty. And healthy intimacy is built on that.

And husbands? This is for you, too. Consent isn’t just a “women’s thing.” It’s not just about asking, it’s about caring. Really caring. About what your wife needs, how she feels, and if she feels emotionally safe enough to show up.

No one’s saying turn your marriage into a permission slip. This isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about staying tender, keeping intimacy mutual, and never letting expectations replace real connection.

Because the goal isn’t just sex, it’s oneness and that only thrives in places where both people feel seen, heard, and honored.

So yeah — consent still matters. Even in marriage. Especially in marriage.

    At 29, Opeyemi Bright became Barking & Dagenham’s youngest ever Civic Mayor. Elected to the council at just 22, she quickly distinguished herself by championing financial transparency (drawing on her Chartered Accountant background) and community-driven initiatives. Born in East London to Nigerian parents—her mother once served as Hackney’s mayor—Opeyemi paused a thriving career in investment banking and tech to dedicate a year to this historic term. In her first address, she made clear that she sees this role not as a trophy but as a promise: to listen more than she speaks, to turn strategy into street-level impact, and to uplift every neighbourhood that shaped her.

Not far away in north London, Jason Jackson took office as Islington’s mayor—the first Nigerian-born person ever to hold the title since the borough’s founding in 1900. Jason’s journey began in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, and continued through studies in Business Law, Media, and later Big Data at London universities. Elected to Islington Council in 2022, he brought with him a passion for social enterprise and ethical innovation. His inaugural speech was equal parts gratitude and challenge to build bridges across diverse communities, to harness technology for good, and to remind everyone that leadership means service.

Why does this matter? Because representation isn’t a footnote, it shapes how young Nigerians in the diaspora see their futures. Opeyemi and Jason show us that influence and integrity can go hand in hand, that faith and ambition aren’t competing forces, and that “you belong at the table” isn’t just a slogan, it’s reality.

Whether you’re in Barking or beyond, their rise to mayor reminds us: barriers break when we dare to lead. Here’s to the next generation of trailblazers—may they feel emboldened by these two historic firsts.

I wanted it. Not just because everyone else seemed to have it, but because I truly wanted that kind of connection with God. But the more I wanted it, the more I felt like something was wrong with me because it wasn’t “happening.”

I started asking questions in my head that I was too scared to ask out loud: Am I doing something wrong? Do I not have the Holy Spirit? Is my Christianity incomplete? Why does this feel like a spiritual popularity contest?

Somewhere along the line, speaking in tongues became a badge. Like proof you’d “arrived” spiritually. And if you didn’t speak in tongues? People wouldn’t say it, but you could feel it — like your faith was less powerful, your relationship with God less deep.

And then there’s the whole teaching people how to do it — “repeat after me,” “don’t think about it.” Honestly? That made it worse. It started to feel like a performance. And I didn’t want to fake an encounter just to belong.

It took me a while to realize this: tongues are not a test of spirituality.
You don’t earn them. You’re not more Christian because you speak in tongues, and you’re not less Christian because you don’t.

The Bible does talk about speaking in tongues as one of the manifestations of the Spirit. It’s not about proving anything. It’s not a badge of honor or a sign that you’ve “arrived.” It’s not a skill you master in Bible boot camp.

Speaking in tongues can be a beautiful part of your walk with God, but it’s not the ultimate mark of closeness with Him. A real relationship with Jesus is.

When it did happen for me, it wasn’t loud. It wasn’t even dramatic. I wasn’t in a revival or surrounded by fire. I was in my room. Quiet. Sincere. It just… happened. Slowly. Naturally. And not because someone pressured me, but because I was open, and God met me there.

So if you’re reading this and feeling like you’re missing something, hear me:
You’re not broken. You’re not behind.
You’re not less of a Christian. You’re not spiritually deaf.
The Holy Spirit isn’t ignoring you, and He absolutely lives in you, whether or not your mouth moves in syllables you don’t understand.

Speaking in tongues is beautiful. But it’s not the point. Jesus is. And a real relationship with Him? That’s already the most powerful thing you can carry.

But the truth is: forgiveness isn’t really for them. It’s for you. To stop rehearsing what happened. To stop tying your joy to someone else’s apology. You don’t have to act like it didn’t matter. But if you keep waiting for it to feel fair, you might hold on forever. “Forgive, as the Lord forgave you.” (Colossians 3:13) That’s the assignment. And it’s hard. But necessary.

Forgiveness is also about yourself, and sometimes that’s even harder. Maybe it was a mistake you made, a season you mishandled, a version of you that you’ve outgrown but can’t seem to forget. You know God forgives you, but you haven’t quite caught up. You keep revisiting the guilt like it’s a punishment you deserve. But grace doesn’t work like that. If God no longer holds it against you, why are you still dragging it?

So, how do you start to forgive?

You stop trying to win the moment and start protecting your peace. You write a letter and don’t send it. You talk it out with someone safe. You give yourself time, but don’t make bitterness your brand. You stop rehearsing “what you should’ve said.” You pray for the person, even if it’s just one line. “God, help me let this go.” That’s a beginning.

And for yourself? You talk to the version of you that didn’t know better and tell her, “We’re growing now. It’s okay.” You stop calling yourself a mistake. You remember that “there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1)

Forgiveness won’t always feel like closure. It won’t always feel mutual. Sometimes the other person is still in denial. Sometimes you’ll never get the conversation. But peace is a better reward than pride.

You’re not weak for choosing grace. You’re not fake for deciding not to retaliate. And you’re not broken just because you’re still learning how to heal. Forgiveness is hard, but it’s also freedom. And it’s yours to walk in.

Throw on a matching set.
It could be co-ords, a lounge set, or that linen two-piece you’ve had on repeat. Matching sets are a cheat code. You’ll look stylish and intentional without spending 30 minutes mixing and matching. Add your fave slides or sneakers, and boom, outfit.

Add one piece that makes you feel expensive
It could be a sleek pair of sunglasses or a structured bag. You don’t need to go designer. It just needs to give your outfit a main character. Trust, one good piece can make your whole outfit look like a soft life declaration.

Sneakers are the new heels.
We love comfort, but we also love the girls who know how to make a statement in chunky white sneakers or retro trainers. They work with dresses, skirts, or oversized shirts. Throw them on, and suddenly your outfit has a vibe.

Accessories are your secret weapon.
Minimal doesn’t mean missing. Layer two gold chains, wear those tiny hoops, stack your rings, a clean wristwatch, just something to make the outfit pop. A little glint goes a long way.

Hair and lip gloss? Mood setters.
A slick bun, newly revamped wig, bold braids whatever your go-to is, own it. Then swipe on your lip liner and fave gloss, and boom. Clean girl energy activated.

Remember, scent is part of the look.
Don’t underestimate the power of walking past someone and hearing “You smell good.” It completes the vibe. Like, yes, I look chill, but I’m still giving.

Your confidence is the final layer.
You can wear the most curated outfit and still feel “off” if you don’t feel like yourself. Slay isn’t just in what you wear, it’s in how you wear it. Stand tall, smile more, and remember who you are. That’s the real style hack.

So no, you don’t need a stylist. You just need a few go-to pieces, a little confidence, and a mirror that hypes you up. Everyday slay is a mindset. And if anyone asks — yes, you woke up like this.
