A woman who was among those kidnapped from Ariko village during their Easter church service has given birth to a child in the bandits' camp. Remember, women, little children, and some men have now been in captivity for 58 days. However, this woman gave birth a week ago. A woman who emerged from the camp after trekking for 3 days in the bush said the birth was difficult because the pregnant woman, like others in the camp, was malnourished.

According to her, the pregnant woman was ill when labour began, but with the help of other women experienced in traditional birth, they managed to help her give birth. She said the women pooled bits and pieces of their clothes that hadn't been washed since they arrived and wrapped the child.

When the bandits refused to give them anything sharp to cut the umbilical cord, after about an hour, a woman, out of desperation, used her teeth to cut it. Later, they pleaded for water to clean the child and the mother, but the bandits refused, saying they wouldn't waste water on a child who wouldn't survive. They wanted to go to a nearby stream to wash the child, but the bandit said no.

They also pleaded with the bandits to release the women so she could go home with the baby, but the bandits refused. The next problem was that the mother's breasts had no milk, as nothing came out because she was so malnourished. A while later, the child began to suck the little that started to come. Hours later, they were still pleading for water to wash the child and the mother when it began to rain.

The woman said they resorted to wetting a cloth in the rain and using it to wipe the child. She said the child was still alive five days later when she came out, though part of the umbilical cord attached to the navel had not yet fallen off.

She described acute hunger and pus-filled rashes covering most of their skin, especially the children's. She described little children and the women with heads full of lice. She spoke of how young children in the camp are persuaded to drink large amounts of river water just to fill their bellies and reduce hunger. She spoke of how the bandits will lead women into the bush to forage for leaves, which they boil and eat. She spoke of a time when they went 5 days without anything to eat except boiled leaves and water.

She spoke of how the men are always chained with bicycle chains. She said that sometimes the bandits lead some men into the bush to pluck mangoes, which are then shared out as meals. She spoke of taking a bath only every 7 or 10 days. She said the bandits would escort women and men, in batches, to bathe in the river and then watch them, especially the women, while they bathe naked.

She said other sensitive things that can’t be mentioned, but please include them in your prayers.

@JordanBelonwu I will love my husband (who I have not met) to do something similar for my 30th birthday. This is so stunning

[Phrog ☆ Jesus Fangirl @PhrogPollen]

I believed in God my entire childhood because I never found enough evidence to disprove what my parents taught me. (I was actually into apologetics as a kid so this sentence does make sense lol)
Then at 10, I was hit by a car and should have died. I was healed miraculously in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. That affirmed for the rest of my life God was real.
I tried my best to live like it, I tried to prove to God I loved Him, but the older I got, the more I felt like the gap between me and Him widened.
Then at age 17, I was praying alone and reading my Bible when in the quiet of the room I heard, "Sierra, I love you."
(Sierra is my real name)
Suddenly everything clicked. God loved me. His love was not something I could or was expected to earn. It's not something that grew with my obedience or shrunk with my disobedience. It was a constant, a truth more real than my existence. God loves me. Me.
That's when I went from believing God was real to knowing who He was.

This is why I always advise people to be careful with most nonstick & granite pot sets, they tend to peel over time & leech into your food.

If you’re planning to invest in quality cookware this year,

My top 3 picks:
• Ceramic
• Cast Iron
• Stainless Steel

They are safer long-term.

In 2019, my best friend got a job that was paying $700 per month.

Within a few months, he had gotten a decent house, furnished it and set up his workspace.

I tried to "get inspired" and double my hustle, yet after 6 months, I was struggling to make $100 per month, and I had to admit to myself that I was envious.

I went to God in prayer, and asked him how to handle this. And the answer was very simple.

Pray for him.

So I spent the next 3 months intensely interceeding for him.

It thought me a very important lesson.

You cannot hate or even dislike anyone that you genuinely pray for.

Like you can't.

Real intercession allows you feel what God feels concerning them, and you cannot help but love them.

I'm not saying deleting their number was the right or wrong thing to do.

But what happens when it happens with someone else?

Someone you can't delete their number, block, or avoid?

The answer is to express love towards them, specifically by praying for them.

Those feelings of envy and jealousy will die a natural death

During my NYSC in Ibadan, I stayed in a male-dominated compound. Most evenings, the guys would gather to play draft, scrabble, or ludo. While at it, some would buy smoke, weed, igbo, (whatever name you prefer) and pass it around.

At first, it felt harmless. Just guys catching cruise.
But slowly, it grew arms and legs.

Boys from other compounds started joining. What used to be occasional turned into a routine. Some mornings, as early as 7:30am, people were already crushing weed, blasting loud music.

Neighbors began to complain. Eventually, the landlord got involved and issued a serious warning. Even that didn’t stop them.

Soon, the compound got a name.
People started tagging us “bad children”, “ awon ọmọ tí tiwon ti bàjẹ́” even those of us who never smoked. Guilt by association.

I eventually left the compound.

Later, I heard that two of them smoked and ran mad at some point. They were eventually healed, but after that, nobody heard from them again.

That experience taught me something very simple:
Smokers are bad influence, especially if you don’t have strong convictions or you’re easily swayed. What starts as cruise can quietly destroy reputations, health, and futures.

And beyond influence, the health consequences alone are enough reason for me.
Nothing about smoking has ever looked attractive enough to make me try it.

The craziest thing is that, apart from the fact that they don’t care about us, they also think we are fooIs.

So if you order food or shoes from a Vendor on X, and three weeks later they haven't delivered it to you. You complain and complain but they don't make any progress.

When they finally reach out to you, and they tell you "Its not my fault but the fault of the delivery company" won't you go crazy? Isn't it your Job to check that the delivery company delivers your product? Instead of trying to resolve my issues quickly as a customer that I am, Oraimo is spending more time telling me it's not their fault. So you just give the delivery company products and turn the other way? Did I order from the delivery company's app? Abi @glovo don dey sell fan? @oraimomate you guys have caused me emotional, mental and physical discomfort and I can't even begin to explain how I feel. I don't want your DMs, your calls, or your messages. I've sent my account number to your agent, please refund me immediately. Telling me I have to wait for the incapable delivery service you put your whole business on to return the fan before you refund me will not just work. What I will do next will go very low. I don't have the strength to talk, even in real life i don't talk as much as you guys have made me to talk the past 3 weeks. Just refund me and avoid me in future please. @oraimomate

Every Life Count‼️‼️‼️
As a concerned Alumnus it is Imperative I write at this point

The level of kidnapping in Ile-Ife is alarming , looking like there a syndicate of it already… I have read about 2 people missing and now forgotten in weeks and they are not seen yet!, isn’t it insane that people can wake up for the comfort of their homes to catch up with activities and never get to return m

It can only be profound I give an action plan, please if you don’t have a business outside at night around 8/9pm or too early please stay in your respective residence and this is a charge to the school management to beef up their security as it is their responsibility to protect the lives of students it admits.

And this is a call that we equally have to be our brother’s keeper, communicate where you are going and where will you be to your friends and send a live location at every point. Even as an adult I still do that cos of the unsafe nature of our country

I am charging security operatives to keep Ife safe and it was never like this, it is worsening everyday… Investigate and find missing persons

The Union security arm should be have more man power to work extensively both in town and on campus … At this point if you can’t be protected, protect yourself.

Let every life be important, people life matters‼️
Don’t forget them, Don’t fail them

There’s a protocol that has worked for me and my students.

And also helped @PrincewiIIChuka land foreign client.

But 99% of people will not like it or have the balls to implement it.

To the 1% however here’s exactly how to land foreign clients as a Nigerian based here:
