Nigeria singer, Skiibii Set To Travel To Ukraine To See Things For Himself

Posted: 04 Mar 2022 06:00 AM PST

The war between Russia and Ukraine is slowly affecting the rest of the world, and there's nothing we can do about it because we don't want it to escalate into a third world war, and Skiibii curiously wants to go see things for himself.

Most of us have no idea how things are in Ukraine right now, and Skiibii got tired of hearing about it on the news, has decided to go there and see for himself, but some netizens think he's being insensitive by saying that.

Some believe he's saying it to catch cruise, which is totally wrong because what's going on in Ukraine is not a child's play for him to use in seeking attention on gram.

Whatever the reason for Skiibii's tweet, we believe he is saddened by the way people are being killed and property is being destroyed, but out of curiosity wants to go see for himself instead of reacting to rumours and stories fed to him by the media.

"I am turning 32 in April. I have been very stubborn about it (marriage) and my mother has come to accept that marriage may not be for me. Perhaps, I will just have a child.

She (mother) told me two days ago that I should just produce a child and I laughed. Pressure for marriage isn't for me because I am more concerned about connecting and living happily with the right person.

Until I am able to build my life around that person, I don't think I want to settle down. If I feel pressured to get married, I could have done that since I used to be crazy about marriage; but not anymore."

Pastor David Ibiyeomie – “No woman loves a poor man”

Posted: 03 Mar 2022 04:30 AM PST

Pastor David Ibiyeomie of Salvation Ministries says no woman loves a poor man, and that whenever a woman claims to love a man, it is because he has money.

He added that even in the family, whenever a wife declares her undying love for her husband, it is largely due to his ability to provide for the family.

Speaking during a sermon on Sunday according to reports, Pastor Ibiyeomie was quoted as saying: "There is no man who is mature who doesn't want to marry. It's poverty, if you have money, won't you marry? So, you know that God has wonderful plans for you but Satan said No! No job, no contract, no nothing, then you're still looking. Fight and say this is not the plan, I can't be this mature and not get married, we have Bachelors we have Manchelors and we have Pachelors.

"Bachelors is in his 20s, if you are between 25 and 40 and you're not married you're a Manchelor, you have become a man and you're not married. If you're above 40 you have become a Pachelor. There are some Pachelors who are not married not because they don't want to marry but because there is no money. No finance, there will be no romance, have you seen any woman who says I love a man without money, not one, I have not seen a woman who loves a man who is broke.

"No woman loves a poor man, they say don't mind that yeye man, when you see a woman saying yeye man, I like the man but the way the man loves me, it's a lie, the love is with money. If the wife says that I love my husband then there is money and check the women whose husband is not providing, you will hear: us*less man, a man that cannot pay school fees, yeye man. When they say yeye man just know that you're yeye truly. Tell the devil clear from my way, I am not a yeye man, I must be a good man."
