In a post shared on her Instagram page to start the week, Edochie cautioned men against prioritizing temporary flings with side chicks over the love and loyalty of their wives.

 The Achimota Circuit Court has sentenced a 22-year-old hairdresser, Nicky Isabella, popularly known as Bella, to five years in prison for human trafficking. Isabella was found guilty of luring two young Nigerian women into Ghana under the false promise of employment, only to force them into prostitution upon arrival.

Pastor Ibiyeomie Sparks Controversy with Comments on Poverty and Christianity Founder of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has ignited widespread debate following a recent sermon in which he claimed that Jesus Christ disliked poverty and intentionally distanced himself from the poor during his time on earth. Addressing his congregation, Pastor Ibiyeomie asserted that Jesus' mission extended beyond spiritual salvation to include financial prosperity for believers. He argued that poverty is fundamentally at odds with the true message of Christ. “Jesus never visited any poor person in their home; check your Bible,” Ibiyeomie declared. “That means he hates poverty. He visited Lazarus, who wasn’t poor—they were feeding him. He visited a sinner, Zacchaeus, who was rich. Show me one poor man Jesus entered his house.” He further claimed that remaining in poverty is contrary to Christian doctrine. “Jesus hates people who are poor. He died so you wouldn't be poor. It’s f...
