At least five people were killed this morning when a suicide bomber blew himself up inside a mosque in Maiduguri, a militia member assisting the military against Boko Haram jihadists said. The leader of the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) in Ajiri Yala, some 15 kilometres (10 miles) north of Maiduguri, said the attack happened at about 4:30 am. “A male suicide bomber disguised as a worshipper entered the mosque while people were gathering for the morning prayers,” he told AFP by telephone. “He detonated his explosives. He killed five people and injured several others.” Boko Haram typically never claims responsibility but has used suicide bombing as a frequent tactic in its eight-year insurgency to establish a hard line Islamic state. Their end is closer than they think.

Cohen said: “I always wanted to come to Israel, ever since I was a small child, I wanted a deeper connection, to understand what ‘Israel’ is, and not just through stories.” Despite the fact that moving to Israel was dream come true for the woman, it was still hard to adjust to the life in another country.

Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you are doing when you indulge in these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you. Don’t ever criticize yourself. When you focus on being a blessing, God makes sure that you are always blessed in abundance. I believe if you keep your faith, if you keep your trust, if you keep the right attitude, if you are grateful, you will see God open up new doors. You are going to go through tough times – that is life. But I say, nothing happens to you, it happens for you. See the positive in negative events. It is easy to get negative because you get beat down. You go through a few disappointments and it is easy to stay in that negative frame of mind. Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is a whole cliche, but your attitude is going to determine how you are going to li...

He shared a photo of his mum helping her dad get ready for and event and wrote... “The reason I laugh when I see people commenting “relationship goals” under celeb pictures or watching YouTube videos for relationship advice is because most of us have real life examples of true relationship goals in our homes but we refuse to pay attention. I was the same way too. For 39 years my parents have been doing relationship goals but until a few years ago I never paid them any attention. Maybe it’s because my dad doesn’t have an IG page so he can’t put MamaFoxy as WCW or she doesn’t give him Facebook shoutout on his birthday. But over the past year, watching my mum care for my dad during his health challenges...

Rihanna is doing a diamond job of hiding her belly amid pregnancy rumours. The stunning superstar kept her stomach firmly under wraps with a blush jacket as she left a recording studio on Saturday evening. It looked as thought the Umbrella singer, 29, was wearing quite a revealing outfit to record in as her jacket slipped off her shoulders to reveal a cut panel nude bralet dress with a gorgeous thigh high split showing off plenty of leg. Speculation over Rihanna's pregnancy started earlier on this year - but there is no hint as to whether congrats are in order. In the last few months Rihanna, who is reportedly dating Toyota billionaire Hassan Jameel , has done nothing to dispel rumours she is expecting.

I thank God for the saving grace. I would have been dead and forgotten by now if not for God, the Almighty Though,  I lost some friends. Anytime I think about it, I shudder. I want to testify to the goodness of the Lord, though of many years back.  It was a fire disaster in Awori that year. I still remember it vividly as if it happened yesterday. I was at home sleeping , not being aware of the incident. I was woken up by these friends in order to join them siphon petrol from the vandalized pipeline. Though, the expedition was tempting. I was tired but I wanted to go with them. For strength, I therefore went for the water anointed in our church in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.  I took some of the water. But instead of being strengthened, it knocked me down terribly. I could not join them.  So, they left me behind as my condition at that time looked cumbersome to them. I was not to be a liability to them, they reasoned. And that was  my saving grace ! The L...

  At a time when there are fears that the Yoruba language may become endangered soon because the new generation of its people are not being taught the language, a Dutch-Nigerian, Dorien Jacob, aka Oyinbo Jesu, has chosen to sing entirely in Yoruba language. Speaking to Sunday Scoop, she said, “When God gives you talents, it flows. I’m married to a Yoruba man who loves his culture and music so much. I also love music and that’s one of the bases of attraction between us. My husband is an amazing teacher and he was the one who stirred my interest in singing in Yoruba language. Singing in Yoruba enables one to pass a lot of messages that some other languages may not be able to accommodate. My husband writes the songs, we arrange them together, and I perform them.” Somehow, Oyinbo Jesu cannot speak Yoruba for now. “Even though I cannot speak Yoruba language, I understand it amply. I love the Yoruba culture because it is so colourful and warm. Thus ...

Blac Chyna has claimed that Rob Kardashian secretly had $100,000 (£75,000) worth of weight loss surgery before lying about losing the weight through diet and exercise. Chyna, 29, who shares daughter Dream with her ex Rob, 30, made the claims in publicly available court documents whilst defending herself from the claims he had made of her. During their very public break-up over the summer, Rob revealed that Chyna had secret post-baby surgery and shared pictures of the star in her hospital gown. Hitting back, Chyna - real name Angela Renée White - said in court documents: 'In fact, Rob Kardashian himself underwent weight loss surgery that cost $100,000, whereas Chyna's surgery was for a lesser amount. Chyan underwent minor cosmetic procedures including a breast and butt reduction as well as a small amount of liposuction around her belly button. 'Ms White is a well known social media influencer and trendsetter who professionally endorses ...

Flavour Singer Flavour is one of the the many musicians in Nigeria with multiple baby mamas! With two beauty queens struggling for his heart and caring for his daughters, Flavour can be categorized as one lucky man. With the look of things however, it seems the singer has finally made a choice between his two gorgeous baby mamas. Our assumption is not based on hearsays or rumours but from Flavour’s birthday attitude for his first daughter Muna, the daughter of his first baby mama Sandra Okagbue. Flavour with Sandra and daughter This attitude is quite different from his attitude a few months ago when Anna Banner’s daughter, Sophia clocked two. Not only did Flavour have a photoshoot with Muna, he had with Sandra and they wore matching outfits looking like a perfect family. Sandra; Flavour’s choice? This could also be so because of Anna’s decision to move on with her life despite her love for her baby daddy. Still we can’t help but wonder if Flavour pla...
