Prophet Bushiri Caught Faking Miracle (WATCH)
This is too funny! Fake miracles aren't anything new. Now, I am a devout Christian. I mean, I was born and raised in a Nigerian Christian family so of course going to church and watching binding and castings happen has been in life for as long as I can remember. But even then at a younger age, I remember the talks about fake miracles.

13 Most Romantic Text Messages Sent By Nigerians.
"Roses are red, Ube is blue..." What are the Nigerian kids sending to themselves these days? This is a question that I was thinking about the other day in church when my sister came to tell me about the messages she had seen one of the choristers sending to his babe. Apparently, she found his story funny because he had gotten his message from a "Love Texts" app, and that made me very curious.

7 Richest Actresses in Nigeria (Photos).
That Nollywood money. For so many, becoming a Nollywood star is a dream. They look up to their favorite actors and actresses and say to themselves "I can do that" but when they get to those sets, they see that 1.) The act of acting itself especially in front of a camera and on a professional set is difficult, and 2.) Acting by itself especially for an up and coming actor or actress doesn't pay as much as they think.

13 Nollywood Fine Boys and How They Look Now.
Call them what you want: heartthrobs, Nollywood 'fine boys', male love interests...in the 90s and early 200s, these men dominated the Nollywood scene as the "fine boys" that carried most Nigerian romantic movies. Their characters were always caught in some kind of web of love that was either abominable, not supported by one's family, or turned sour.

14 Nollywood Actors You May Not Know Are Dead
May their souls rest in perfect peace. Movies and shows are very interesting. We spend our times watching these movies with our favorite actors and actresses playing these very interesting characters and then the movie or TV show ends, and that's all. If the actor isn't on social media to follow, that is all you know about that actor or actress, that he/she was in that movie or show you acted. And even if the actor or actress is on social media, unless they post or a news story comes out about them, you don't know what's going on with them.

I Became a 'Sun Girl'. What Followed Haunts Me Till Today.
Page 3 of The Sun Newspaper. I always enjoyed looking at that page. It was the page allotted to Sun’s Weekly “Sun Girl”. When I got very broke around 2014 and I had no money, I found myself doing a lot of things that I swore I wouldn’t do. It's very easy to say what you will and won’t do for money when you live in abundance. Once that abundance is gone, my sister, you will very quickly learn that maybe there’s a whole lot of things you are actually willing to do. I started out doing noble hustles: I cleaned, I scrubbed, I cooked, I baked, I did it all. Until one day, one of my colleagues, a fellow server at the restaurant I served at started gisting me about how she makes money on the side.
