Her post on Instagram reads ;

Do you ever just wonder why God created you with a special kind of beauty ? A special kind of beauty is a rare gift of beauty.

The kind of beauty that commands influence, attention. A self promoting beauty. The kind of beauty that has a voice. Not every woman is gifted with this kind of beauty.

Amongst all the beautiful women in the Bible, only 2 women had this kind of beauty…. Sarah and Bethsheba. Sarah was overwhelmingly beautiful. Her beauty made her famous amongst the Egyptians. Everyone who saw her fell in love with her. Her beauty was self promoting.


Any woman who is gifted with this kind of beauty should understand that you are given the beauty for a kingdom purpose. Stop using your beauty for the wrong reasons. Stop using your beauty for material gains. Stop misusing the gift of your beauty. •

Some of you have rejected God who gave you that beauty. You have rejected His ways. You don’t want to submit to God after all the opportunities your beauty has given you. You won’t even pray or worship God. You have become so busy for the things of God because you are always booked. •

I tell you, it is very dangerous to have the gift of beauty if you don’t know God and you don’t have humility because everyone will want a piece of you. Beauty has a prize and if you do not know God, that beauty will kill the purpose you are here on earth for. Your body is the temple of God that is why God took His time to decorate you with beauty. •

As a woman, you are very powerful and influential. Your beauty is your power. Use your power to influence men to the kingdom of God and you will be greatly rewarded. Don’t allow satan to use your beauty to sell his kingdom. Use your influence as a woman to glorify God. And I pray that God will help to realise the purpose of your beauty and use it wisely. ?

Anthony Okolie, the man arrested for using the previous phone line of President Muhammadu Buhari’s daughter, has asked the Department of State Services (DSS) to pay him N10 million in 24 hours.

He later sued DSS, MTN and Hanan Buhari and demanded N500 million compensation but the court awarded N10 million as damages.

In a letter addressed to Yusuf Bichi, DSS, director-general, Tope Akinyode, his counsel, Okolie said if the sum is not paid, he would take measures within the ambit of the law to recover the judgement debt.

“Take notice that unless we receive our cheque in settlement within 24 hours after the receipt of this letter, we shall have no choice but to take all steps available under the law to recover the said sum.

Malabu Oil Deal: Nigeria’s $1bn Case Against Shell, ENI Suffers Setback

A High Court in London on Friday ruled that the $1 billion cases against oil giants Shell and ENI over the Malabu Oil deal cannot proceed. 

According to ABN TV, The High Court Judge, Christopher Butcher, is reported to have held that the court does not have jurisdiction to hear the matter, which has a parallel proceeding in Italy, also brought by the Nigerian government over the Malabu oil deal.

This was what formed the basis on which Shell and ENI had moved to stop or stay proceedings in the $1 billion lawsuits in the UK, during virtual hearings of the case.

Both companies argued that the case in the UK court was a duplication of the ongoing criminal trial and a parallel civil claim brought by Nigeria in Italy over the same matter.

Nigeria had sued Shell and ENI for $1.1 billion in 2011 over the licencing of OML 245 which the nation claims the said companies made it miss as a result of bribes they paid to Malabu oil, owned by former Minister of Petroleum, Dan Etete.

Peters added that suspected smugglers dived into the water upon sighting the customs operatives from afar around the Ishashi area of the state.

He noted that the drugs were suspected to be coming in from Ghana and had crossed many borders by water before the seizure in Lagos.

The comptroller stressed that since there were no suspects accompanying the seized goods, they would be liable to destruction in collaboration with relevant government agencies and other security services.
