Thereās this my uncleās wife everyone loves because every Christmas sheās in the kitchen making delicacies.
Then thereās another they donāt love that much because she refused to be a āmaidā according to herš
Last night in the group chat we were all discussing about our experience every Xmas.
masquerades, stream, football, events. amongst other activities.
It was fun till the ālovedā woman sent a 10 minutes VN explaining how she hasnāt experienced any of these because she was making sure there was food for everyone when we return.
Moving forward, cooks will be hired every Xmas or someone else will take over the kitchen.
The not so loved wife dropped a laughing sticker and there was fire on the mountain š
Last night I had a heavy heart and couldnāt bring myself to utter a word of prayer. I just sat still on the bare floor meditating on Scriptures for an entire hour. As I stood up to go to bed, The Spirit laid it in my heart to search for āReckless Love - Apostle Grace Lubegaā on YouTube (The original song is by Cory Asbury, but I always prefer Apostle Lubegaās worship sessions).
As I searched, the first video that popped up was this video by Apostle Joshua Selman instead. Iām not so much of an emotional person, but I bawled my eyes out last night as I listened to this brief ministration. It was speaking directly to me. All the while, God placed this burden in my heart, for this single moment.
It reminded me of what Apostle Iren was saying about prayers at Reboot Camp last week Friday, that even when you donāt feel like it, thatās when you need it the most, stay there. Just stay. Even when you donāt have the words, just stay.
It is in this unconditional pursuit of God that intimacy is birthed. To the Holy Spirit, its a proof of commitment, yieldedness and readiness.
I never knew until today what David meant in Psalm 23 when he said, āYea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.ā Nowhere does it say he stopped to wonder why he was in the valley. It simply says he walked through. Let me tell you this: now is not the time to figure out why youāre going through the valley. Just trust God and keep walking. No matter what circumstances you face, keep believing God is working on your behalf. Thereās something waiting at the end of the valley.
@Olori_Seun1@PastorEAAdeboye God keeps his word , when last did you keep your word to him to trust and believe in him? God is rewarder of those who deligently seek him !! When last did you seek him? When last did you have a conversation with him? When last did you hear from him?? Please š donāt loose hope

āNO BROMATE!ā
Have you ever wondered why we usually see this boldly printed on most bread nylons?
Well, today⦠Iām going to tell you why.
You see, bromate... scientifically known as potassium bromate (KBrOā) is a chemical compound once used in bread-making. Bakers loved using it because it made their dough rise better, the bread softer, and the loaves looked fluffier and more appealing.
But there was a problem. A deadly one.
If bromate isnāt completely broken down during baking, which often happens when bread isnāt baked hot or long enough... it usually remains inside the loaf. And whenever humans consume it, it accumulates. Studies began to show that bromate was carcinogenic. Meaning that it could cause cancer and it could also cause serious damage to the human kidneys.
For years, Nigerians ate bread laced with this silent poison. It was everywhere. Bakeries used it freely because it was cheap and effective until one woman decided that enough was enough.
Her name was Professor Dora Nkem Akunyili, the Director-General of NAFDAC from 2001 to 2008.
When she took office, Nigeriaās food and drug system was like a jungle. Fake drugs, unregulated imports, and dangerous additives flooded the market. Dora wasnāt the kind of woman who looked away. She sent her team into bakeries across the country to collect bread samples quietly.
When the results came back, what they found out was very terrifying: most bread in the market contained dangerous levels of bromate.
That was all she needed to see.
In 2002, NAFDAC under Dora Akunyili officially banned potassium bromate in all bread production across Nigeria. She didnāt stop there, she also went on air, she held press conferences and she called out those bakeries by name. She told Nigerians, āThe same bread that makes up part of your childrenās breakfast could slowly destroy their health.ā
She faced lots of backlash. Bakers fought back. But she stood firm.
Under her leadership, NAFDAC raided bakeries, shut down violators, and educated the public. And slowly, the change began. Bakeries shifted to safer alternatives like ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and the phrase āNO BROMATEā became a proud declaration of safety.
Today, most Nigerians donāt even realize how many lives that single policy saved. Dora Akunyili wasnāt just a regulator, she was a protector. A woman whose integrity and courage forced an entire industry to value life over profit.
So, the next time you unwrap a loaf of bread and see āNO BROMATEā written boldly on the nylon, please pause for a second and remember the woman who made all that possible.
She saved a generation.

āI believe the video of him standing in the grave and screaming for help is what changed the narrative.
Papa, God will not wait until you die for help to arrive.
You will live to see a better Nigeria, Amen."
My daughter and I went in Best Buy the other day to pick up an electronic. We met a sales guy who was very kind in helping. Upon our leaving, I hear the Lord say āask him.ā I immediately understood what He meant. So, kindly I asked this young sales guy, ādo you love the Lord?ā He responded, āyes, I love the Lord.ā I then proceeded to ask him had he ever said the prayer of salvation (because many Christians in the US I meet havenāt nor have they been taught about it). The young sales man said āno.ā He then shared a few things with us and that he was from Ghana. So, I told my daughter to pull up Romans 10:9-10 in the Bible app on her phone. The young sales man looked pleasantly, patiently waiting. Then, I told him to read both verses. Afterwards, I explained the importance of why he needed to say the prayer of salvation based on what he just read. Then, the glorious moment came when the opportunity was there for him to officially give his heart to the Lord. So, I said āput your hand over your heart and say these words after me, and mean them with all your heart. He joyfully agreed. And, we all rejoiced, so much so that he wanted to hug me afterwards. It was an amazing moment. I prayed for him and thanked God for the opportunity to win another soul.
