Pastor Robert Burale tells women ‘If your man is cheating on you, look at your four closest friends’

Posted: 23 Feb 2020 03:30 AM PST

Kenyan City pastor and motivational speaker, Robert Burale, has spoken out against infidelity in relationships.

During his recent appearance on 'Mancave Discussion' on Switch TV, the pastor noted that women are their own worst enemies, and added that if their spouses are unfaithful they should suspect their closest friends.

"I blame both men and women because the man is cheating with another woman. Women have become their own worst enemies. Chances are very high that if your man is cheating on you look at your four closest friends.

"I'll tell you that without fear of contradiction or batting an eyelid. The person who is the most dangerous is the one you trust. It is the one you run to and say these are the issues I'm going through. She is the one who befriends you to cover up what she is doing with your husband. Not always but in most cases yes,"

He also addressed emotional cheating after a woman complained that her husband doesn't open up to her.

"Emotional cheating is one of the most powerful things. Let me tell every woman today, when your man finds comfort in another woman even if they haven't slept together, that's so powerful. Negatively so."

"For someone to say he loves and respects me that's why he keeps it away from me, the fact that a man cheats on you shows he does not love and respect you. It comes a time when you have to put your foot down.

"In this day and age there are diseases and the worst thing is you walking with your husband or wife and the people who are sleeping with you are there saying you look good together. Protect your home because the moment you introduce two or three people that becomes a coalition government," Burale added.

Emir Sanusi: Fathers who send out their children as almajiris should be arrested

Posted: 23 Feb 2020 03:00 AM PST

Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi has called for the arrest of fathers who send out their children as almajiris.

Speaking at a conference organized by the Future Assured Initiative, a non-governmental organisation of First Lady Aisha Buhari, in collaboration with the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs (NSCIA) on Thursday February 20, the Kano monarch said there is no law that backs a man to marry, have children and abandon them without living up to his responsibility to them.

Emir Sanusi told men who are too poor to take care of their family, to go out themselves and beg instead of sending their children.

He said;

"Every day, wives are complaining about their husbands who claim their rights but abandon their responsibilities of marriage, women being divorced with their husbands not taking care of the children and those children ending up on the streets, drugs, political thuggery, violent extremism," he said.

"No law that talks about consent in marriage, the rights of wives and husbands, domestic violence , rights of women divorced , the responsibilities of husbands under divorce situations, if a child is found on the streets, is the father that is responsible and can the state hold him accountable?

"Do you just marry and have children without any responsibilities? The reason Allah send His Prophets is that there should be justice in this world. Justice in our relationship with our maker and in our relationship with our fellow human beings.

"Justice means that everyone is given his rights. If a man takes the privilege of being the head of the family, he takes the responsibilities of being the provider of the family. You cannot take that privilege and a band the responsibilities.

"Is it a fact that a father has the right to force his daughter into a loveless marriage? that you have the rights to batter you wife? You have the right to have children and push them to the streets to beg? That when you divorce your wife, you ask her and her children to pack and go back to her father's house and that is the end?

"I can spend 100 years saying that it is wrong and un-Islamic for a man to beat his wife, but it is the Governor and the state house of assembly that should pass the law, it is the courts and the police that will make sure that the woman gets justice. The Scholars and Emirs cannot do that.

"So, the problem is these groups of human beings are those who will stand to answer to Allah if there is no justice.

"The traditional and religious leaders have an obligation to ask for justice, but those with the political powers have an obligation to put in place the processes that will make sure that these justices are complied with."

'I wasn’t happy with the way I looked' Law student reveals with his weight loss photos

Posted: 23 Feb 2020 01:30 AM PST

A law student took to Instagram to share his weight loss photos as he recounted his journey towards achieving the body size he wanted.

According to @felix_okoro1, he wasn't happy with the way he looked so he began his weight loss journey in 2019 by walking for at least 1 hour a day, before his friend told him of a final year project on weight loss and he decided to give it a try.

He said he began his weight loss journey in 2019 with 150 kg and 8 months later, he weighs 90kg.

The law student wrote;


"I've always though weight loss was going to be a horrible and stressful experience.

I wanted to be healthy, strong, most especially happy for who I was.
Don't get me wrong, someone can be on the plus side and be happy for who they are. But for me it was hard for me to be 'fat and happy'. When you're unhappy with yourself and how you look, you would try to change yourself, in order to accept yourself. People would tell me "I like that you are happy with the way you look" and I'll reply with a smile "Yes I am" but deep down I knew I wasn't.

I started walking for at least 1 hour a day before my friend told me of a final year project on weight loss and I decided to give it a try. We used dance cardio by #keairalashae for the workout and I continued with the workouts even after the project ended.
I started my journey in 2019 with 150 kg and 8 months later, I weigh 90kg

I think it's time to hit the gym"

Comedian Alibaba who has recently taken up the habit of advising his followers, has stated that any man who is always available is jobless.

Taking to his Instagram page, in a post most likely addressed to his female followers, Alibaba urged them to choose wisely when selecting a partner, and not let online trends confuse them.

According to him, because a man sees his woman less often that another who is chanced daily, doesn't mean he is not in love with her.

See what he wrote below;

"Choose who you want to be with. Don't let all these people come online to confuse you.

"Any man who is available 24/7… is not the kind of man you want.

"And if your lady is busy, appreciate her efforts to make it up. Don't burn out the few moments you have, quarrelling over the times she wasn't available.

"Our jobs and time required differ. An actor may have all the time in the world for you. But a 9-5 worker can only be available at weekends.

"Some Naval officers can be away for months. Dont compare them with that photographer that covers weddings and sees you all week.

"Because he sees you every day doesnt mean he loves you more than the one who works hard and sees you once in a week…
"Be guided"
