Grammy award-winning gospel singer Tasha Cobbs-Leonard, whose song, "Break Every Chain," which landed as Billboards' #1 song for a total of 12 weeks, is coming under fire for featuring Nicki Minaj on her new album.

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do. And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with—even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department. Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently.” Romans

The 36-year-old singer responded to the many fans who disapprove of the move, sharing a meme on her Instagram page.

The image shows people in church with shocked expressions on their face, with the caption, "When saints found out that Tasha Cobbs-Leonard & Nicki Minaj finally did a gospel track together."
She wrote, "Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don't see things the way you do. And don't jump all over them every time they do or say something you don't agree with -- even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department. Remember, they have their own story to deal with them. Treat them gently."
Cobbs-Leonard ended the post by citing Romans 14:1 MSG.
Minaj, whose real name is Onika Maraj, is known for her explicit rap lyrics. Several months back, she reportedly revealed to her more than 20 million social media followers, that she would love to work with Cobbs.
Many in the Christian community find it hard to understand Cobbs' decision to make a song with the racy rapper.

Kalu Bernard Tells Court Why He Killed His Colleague/Lover.

Kalu Bernard Tells Court Why He Killed His Colleague/Lover 

Wednesday, August 16, 2017 20:35
Convicted Air Craft Man (ACM) Bernard Kalu had told the General Court Marshal set up to try his case that he suspected that his estranged girlfriend, Air Craft Woman (ACW) Oladipupo Sholape aka Shomzy Shomzy, was having a love relationship with another man.

Kalu had in March this year shot and killed his estranged lover at her residence at the Nigerian Air Force Base in Makurdi, the Benue State capital.

Reading out the findings of the court shortly after Kalu was handed down a death sentence, Judge Advocate of the Court, Flight Lieutenant MA Umoh said when Kalu was taken into the witness box, he said he agreed that Sholape was his lover whom she had promised to propose marriage to in the presence of his mother.

He added that when his mother eventually came, he only introduced her as a lover but didn’t propose to her as promised because his mother had, the night before counseled him to face his study and prepare for his JAMB and NDA examinations rather than thinking about marriage at that age.

Kalu told the court that shortly after that period, he started noticing some kind of withdrawal from the relationship on the side of Sholape and during which he apologised and they got back together again.

He intimated that during her birthday last February, they had an issue over his failure to buy her a birthday present but that that too was quickly resolved.

However, he said on March 11, he went to Compound 9, Corporal and Below Quarters where Sholape had just gotten an accommodation and she introduced him to a young man, Samuel Echo as her boyfriend but that he was not comfortable with the young man because he suspected that he was having a love affair with Sholape.

He said that prompted him to quickly pick Sholape’s phone and scrolled through while they were alone and she was preparing food for him and that he was shocked to see some questionable chats as well as an unused condom by the side of the bed.

Kalu said as soon as Sholape appeared from the kitchen and saw him with the phone, she got angry and asked why he was going through her phone without her knowledge adding that when he asked her whether the young man who occupied the house was going to use the condom on her, she said, “now you know, so what else.”

He said that statement so angered him that he started having headache and he went back to his house to sleep but couldn’t sleep or do anything stressing that the next time, he saw himself putting on his camouflage uniform at his friend’s place and then he saw himself in the guardroom.

The convict said when he later came to himself, he asked why he was in the guardroom, he was shocked when somebody told him he had killed his girlfriend.

Asked during cross examination if he killed his girlfriend, Kalu said he did not kill her.

President of the court, Gp. Capt. Elisha Bindul found him guilty in six out of the eight-count charges proffered against him and sentenced him to death by hanging subject to the confirmation of the judgement by the conveying authority.

7 surefire ways social media can ruin your life

7 surefire ways social media can ruin your life
ON April 13, 2017

Social media has become a part of our daily life and many of us cannot do without it. What you don’t know is that your addiction to social media is affecting your lives negatively. Read on to know how social media can ruin your life.

Jumia travel, the leading online travel agency, urge you to perhaps cut down on the hours you spend on social twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

Overthinking emoticons
Some persons while interacting or chatting with someone, and they share an emoticon; they begin to give all sorts of meanings and interpretations to it. It is funny that Just because of an emoticon, they get themselves all worked up and worried. Why? It is just an emoticon.
Checking/updating every second
You have become so attached to

Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat that you are checking and updating them every second. The day you don’t access your accounts because you don’t have data, you become hysterical and irrational. It is not a matter of life and death.
Bragging about likes, followers and comments
The number of likes, followers and comments you have has become a thing to brag about and show off. The rule is that the more followers you have, the more traction and engagement you get. True, you do not have to boast about it. Some people go as far as buying likes, followers and even comments.
Posting without thinking
Many of us have converted social media to an abuse platform. A place where we criticize and troll people. As a result, more and more people are in trouble because of what they shared and said on social media. Presently, a popular US based Nigerian journalist Kemi Olunloyo is being charged to court because of the content she shared on social media. Always, think before you share.
Making up just because you want to share pix on Instagram
This is peculiar with girls. They do not have anywhere to go but they dress up, apply makeup and take beautiful pictures just to post on Instagram or Facebook. It is ridiculous.
Staying Up Late
We all do this. We spend hours flying from one social media platform to another. Meanwhile, we are very sleepy but we still continue browsing. Surprisingly, they sleep off while on twitter or WhatsApp. Hence, many of us don’t get enough sleep because of social media.
Seeking social media validation
Seeking social media validation can lead to depression. This is because you wait for others to give you approval for your life activities. If you don’t get the desired response, you become depressed. You should stop seeking social media validation and live your life.

Amaechi demands N2bn compensation from Fani-Kayode, Fayose’s aide

- The minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has given Fani-Kayode and a media aide to the governor of Ekiti state, Lere Olayinka, seven-day ultimatum to retract statement they made against him
- Counsel to the minister, Lateef Fagbemi, is demanding N500m from Fani-Kayode as compensation for the alleged malicious posts by the former minister on his twitter handle on April 14
- The lawyer in two separate letters, each relating separately to Facebook and Twitter posts by Olayinka, is demanding the sums of N750m as compensation for each of the posts
The minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has asked former minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode and a media aide to governor of Ekiti state, Lere Olayinka, to publicly apologise and pay him the sum of N2n for linking him to the seized Ikoyi N13 billion.

The minister, who made the demand in separate letters dated 14th April, 2017, through his lawyer, Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) also gave Fani-Kayode and Olayinka seven-day ultimatum to meet his conditions.

Amaechi is demanding N500m from Fani-Kayode as compensation for the alleged malicious posts by the former minister on his twitter handle on April 14.
The minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has denied owning the Ikoyi property where the sum of N13 billion was found.
He is also demanding two separate sums of N750m totaling N1.5bn from Olayinka as compensation for the alleged “malicious” posts by the Ekiti state governor’s spokesperson on his Facebook timeline and twitter handle on April 14, The Punch reports.
The counsel to the minister also warned that there would be stiff legal actions should Fani-Kayode and Olayinka fail to adhere to the demand over the alleged defamatory acts.

The lawyer in his letter to Fani-Kayode, said it was wrong for the former minister to assume that Amaechi owned the flat and the money found in it.
Fagbemi said Fani-Kayode should have verified his facts from the Land Registry, where there were proper records of property owners, in order ascertain the ownership of the property in question before making the allegation.

The lawyer accused Fani-Kayode of refusing to verify his facts in order to achieve a malicious aim.
According to Leadership, he quoted the offensive aspect of Fani-Kayode tweets as: “The $43 million is Rotimi Amaechi’s. He owns the flat it was found in (sic) too. NIA’s story is fake news! NIA does not keep cash in minister’s flats.”

He said Amaechi neither owns the house where the cash was found, adding that the claim by Fani-Kayode was unfounded.
The letter reads in part: “Our client neither owns the cash nor the house where the cash was found and your story and claim are unfounded. As a matter of fact, our client does not own any house in Lagos State not to talk of keeping cash in one and your story is preposterous.

“Your twitter rant of 14/04/2014 at 04.16 was viewed by your 316. 000 followers, re-tweeted 1,209 times and made a favourite by 434 followers as of the time of writing this letter today at 7.15pm and the list is increasing by the minute and same has satisfied all the conditions needed for a successful defamation case against you.

“We have our client’s mandate to state to you unequivocally that the said twitter publication constitutes libel, and is defamatory of him as same (the claim) is aimed at impugning our client’s character and credit in the eyes of right thinking Nigerians and foreigners.”

The lawyer gave Fani-Kayode a seven-day ultimatum to tender apology to the minister and that such apology be carried by five national dailies, threatening to sue the former minister the demands were not met within seven days.
Besides, the lawyer in two separate letters, each relating separately to Facebook and Twitter posts by Olayinka, demanded the sums of N750m as compensation for each of the posts.

It was learnt that Fagbemi quoted Olayinka as stating in the posts: “The Osborne Towers, a luxury residential complex in lkoyi, Lagos where EFCC said it found $43,449,947, £27,800 and N23,218,000 on Wednesday is owned by the Minister of Transportation. Rotimi Amaechi.”
He also accused Olayinka of falsely making adulterous imputation against his client, who he stated “contracted a valid statutory marriage within the Marriage Act, which prescribes a ‘one-man one-wife’ union".

The lawyer warned that the demand will increase with time if Olayinka fails to retract the statement and publication immediately.
Meanwhile, the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers state has given a 14 day ultimatum to Governor Nyesom Wike, Governor Ayodele Fayose and Femi Fani-Kayode, to
apologise to the minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi for linking the Ikoyi $43m to the minister.

The APC in a statement on Monday, April 17, by the state chairman, of the party, Chief Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, described the accusation as an attempt to tarnish the image of Amaechi because he collaborated with other patriotic Nigerians to oust the PDP regime from power, The Punch reports.

The party maintained that apart from his Abuja residence, the minister does not have any single plot of land in any part of the country.

the deputy national publicity secretary of the APC, Timi Frank, faults the party's leadership.
