Popular dancer and cross-dresser James Brown has taken to social media via his Instagram page to share that he has a purpose for his life.

Gone were the days when these people faces so much criticism as many of them now have fans who look up to them and enjoy their content on social media.

One of such people is the popular young cross-dresser known as James Brown. The young man became an internet sensation after a video where he was arrested by policemen alongside others and paraded for being suspected to be gay, made the rounds on social media.


James Brown who is also known as 'they didn't caught me' on social media took to his Instagram page to address those who still call him names and hurl insults at him.

According to the young dancer, these people insult him because they do not understand him. James also said that he was called by the Lord. He continued that God called him to be a leader by giving youths and teenagers' motivation to be courageous.

He wrote:

"Most people call me all sort names because they don't understand me, they don't feel me, they don't see what The LORD see in me because you all think am doing what I feel like doing but no, I was called by THE LORD

This is my calling to be a leader, giving the youth/ teenager to be who they what to be to be courageous, selfless, confident, outspoken, and fearless. I AM THE CHOSEN ONE."

COVID-19: Nigerians React As Naira Marley Holds Concert In Abuja Despite Flight Ban

Posted: 15 Jun 2020 07:00 AM PDT

A cross section of Nigerians has attacked the government and Naira Marley over the recent concert he organized in Abuja.

Marley held a concert on Saturday night in Abuja after he flew into the Federal Capital Territory in a private jet despite ban on interstate movement and flights.

The federal government had announced that only flights repatriating Nigerians and with essential goods are allowed in the airports till further notice.

The concert by Marley has raised eyebrows on Twitter as Nigerians question authorities for allowing such crowd despite increasing cases of coronavirus in Nigeria.

Here are some comments gathered from Twitter:

@OlisaOsega "I know Naira Marley stays in Lagos and not Abuja. How did he fly to Abuja when there's still a travel ban in Nigeria?

@EzraelAni "They restricted inter state travel yet Naira Marley still found a way to teleport himself and his team from Lagos to Abuja."

@OgaChuka "The Naira Marley concert was a drive in concert.It was moving smoothly and éverybody was behaving normal until Naira Marley came on stage then the Marlians in them jumped out.Playnetwork should have known better that Marlians won't behave normal for long."

@Mistakobz "Naira Marley did not force anybody to attend the concert. what is the work of FCT Authorities?. The organizer should be held responsible for this action!

@Niyih "Disappointed is putting it lightly. The Naira Marley concert lastnight is everything a drawback in the fight against Covid19."

@TheDamorela "Nigeria's data of pandemic positive case is nearing 20,000 but authorities in the Abuja allowed a concert to take place under it's nose?With Naira Marley performing and plenty party lovers? This country na cruise."

@_OberSegzy "How did this even happen and he is still roaming the streets of Nigeria free.This is a spit on the government, Someone breaks the law, apprehend him."

@_Shola "Naira Marley is a pandemic on his own. Should be arrested."

@OmoIyaWaec "Naira Marley had a concert with people packed to the brim in the middle of a global pandemic. We are truly lawless."

@EfeOkedi "This guy apologised for attending a party in Lagos and was pardoned by the court, and now this. Where was the task force guy that seemed to know all the verses in the Bible and Qur'an? Very irresponsible musician and attendees."

Pastor Adeboye – "What God will do to all Rapists around Nigeria

Posted: 15 Jun 2020 06:30 AM PDT

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, says he and his prayer warriors will not rest in prayers until the perpetrators of r*pe are accorded stiffer penalty. He said God will fish them all out.

Adeboye said during a live programme on DOVE TV, monitored in Ibadan on Sunday, that the issue of rape had become rampant in the society.

He described r*pe as bad and unbiblical that it could leave a permanent scare on the victim for the rest of her life.

According to him, there is no pain that can be compared to the pain on the parents whose daughter had been raped.

"Myself and prayer warriors will not rest in prayers until the perpetrators of this evil are brought to justice, not only in Nigeria but all over the world.

"Everyone who has ever committed rape, particularly in Nigeria and the world, the all-knowing God will fish them.

"As much as I hate death sentence, I think every form of punishment that will be given to a rapist cannot be considered too severe.

"Anyone, who ever thinks of raping someone again, the almighty God will stop them even before they do so and if they insist God will take them away.

"I am calling on every Christian all over the world to please join me in this prayer," he said.

Adeboye also urged the faithful never to embrace the spirit of 'good enough' because it could be an enemy of greatness.

"Your journey to the top begins when you start sensing that what you call 'good' is not enough; the greatest enemy is when you think that you are already great while you are still incomplete.

"Your journey to the top begins when you become aware that God reserves the best till the last; the journey to the top begins from your knees and acknowledging Christ as your lord and saviour," he said.

He, therefore, urged those who had not surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ to do so in order to each the desired place of destiny God had designed for them.

Posted: 15 Jun 2020 06:00 AM PDT

Pastor Enoch Adeboye announced on Sunday that he and his wife will not attend church services as the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG re-opens in Nigeria.

He spoke today during the online Sunday service of the Church broadcast on Dove Television.

The 78 year-old General Overseer said he and his wife will not be part of such gatherings in Lagos in observance of the protocol of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control.

The NCDC advises people above 65 years to keep off large gatherings, such as religious services.

Adeboye also said his grandchildren will not be part of the services because they are under 15.

He said he will continue to conduct online services for some weeks.

He said Pastors under the Church are free to resume services with their congregation or continue with the virtual worship.

"We want to thank the Almighty God that some of us will begin to gather again as from next Sunday.

"I believe that some of you are already gathering in some parts of the world and we believe that you will now begin to enjoy power of corporate prayers once again.

"But as you gather together in all those places where you are free to gather, please remember those of us who cannot gather with you yet.

"People like me and my wife cannot gather with you in Lagos because we are over 65 years of age and my grandchildren cannot gather with you yet because they are under 15 years of age.

"So, remember us in prayers, so that very soon, we will be able to join you. And now that you are able to pray together corporately.

"I am sure that your prayers will be far, far more effective against this plague so that very soon, all will be well.

"For those of you who are still at home, I think I will be reaching out to you again for a couple of weeks more.

" And for those of you who can gather, your Pastors can go back to their assignments.

"If they still want to join those of us who are still on lockdown, they are welcome of course."

Anita Joseph faults married women who say their husbands raped them, Tonto Dikeh & Uche Ogbodo react

Posted: 15 Jun 2020 03:00 AM PDT

Nollywood actress, Anita Joseph, who recently tied the knot despite all odds with her love interest Michael Fisayo, known as MC Fish, has faulted married women who say they were raped by their husbands after telling the men they aren't in the mood for sex.

In a video she made with her hubby, the actress opined that a woman's body is the food of her husband and should be ready for him whenever he needs to "feed from it."

She says the only time she would frown at a husband is when he assaults his wife just to have sex with her.

The actress who got married to her hubby in February this year, believes it is wrong for women to tell their husbands they aren't in the mood for sex.


According to her, when a wife is not in the mood, she should just open her body and when her husband penetrates her, she will eventually get into the mood for sex.

You are not in the mood? Open it. When he enters, you will be in the mood" she told married women

Actresses Tonto Dikeh, Uche Ogbodo, and other Nigerians however disagree with Anita. They insist that there is a thing called Rape even in matrimony.

Chimamanda Adichie – "I once had a crush on Michael Essien"

Posted: 15 Jun 2020 02:30 AM PDT

Nigerian novelist, Chimamanda Adichie has revealed that she once had a crush on Ghanaian football star Michael Essien.

The revelation was made in the introduction she wrote for a picture book, Africa? The Future of Football, which is authored by a photographer Pall Stefansson.

Recalling how Nigeria was absent at a football tournament she watched in her introduction titled "Football Nationalism", Adichie said she became "Ghanaian" after the Ghanaian football team caught her attention.

She wrote;

"I watched the game with my best friend, Uju, often shouting and then hugging each other when Ghana finally beat the United States.

"You know some of our boys started playing this game without shoes', Uju said. 'Our boys' were, of course, the Ghanaians.

"A small consequence of that game was my developing a mild crush on the Ghanaian player, Michael Essien, as much for his looks as for his dexterity.

"But the larger and more important consequence was my realization that sports allowed us, black Africans, to address historical and political grievances in the most cathartic way."

She also shared her experience of watching the Nigerian Dream Team win gold at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, United States while living with her sister in Ilupeju, Lagos State.
