Nigerian stand-up comedian and actor, Ayo Makun, popularly known as AY, has called on his colleagues and fans to conduct their affairs responsibly, stressing the importance of self-awareness and maturity.

In a heartfelt message shared on his Instagram page, AY highlighted the need to protect one's interests without allowing personal insecurities to drive negative actions or words toward others.

“It’s always good to protect what is ours. But sometimes, we are caught up in our insecurities without seeing or minding what we say or do to others,” AY wrote.

He went on to emphasize that reacting out of frustration often exposes a person’s vulnerability rather than strength.

“Every time we lash out our frustrations at others who are clueless about our true situations, it shows how weak we are. Handle your business responsibly,” he added.

AY’s message has resonated with many, sparking online conversations about emotional intelligence, self-control, and the need for responsible behavior in both personal and professional spaces.

Award-winning Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has released her first novel in a decade, Dream Count, following Americanah, which was published in 2013. The new novel is a powerful exploration of female friendships, betrayal, and resilience.

The novel follows three affluent Nigerian women—Chiamaka, a writer; Zikora, a lawyer; and Omelogor, a financial executive—as they navigate life, love, and their diasporic identities in the United States. Their stories intertwine with that of Kadiatou, a sorrowful housekeeper inspired by Nafissatou Diallo, the Guinean hotel maid who accused Dominique Strauss-Kahn of sexual assault in 2011.

Set against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, Dream Count uses the global crisis as a metaphor for the emotional cracks in the characters’ lives. It tackles themes of male betrayal, the bonds between women, and the rage that comes with injustice.

Adichie’s signature style—marked by emotional depth and sharp prose—shines through, with memorable lines like Chiamaka’s reflection on past relationships: “More than marriage, I was looking for what I then did not know as the resplendence of being truly known.”

Dream Count joins Adichie’s impressive body of work, which includes Purple Hibiscus (2003), Half of a Yellow Sun (2006), The Thing Around Your Neck (2009), Americanah (2013), We Should All Be Feminists (2014), Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions (2017), and Notes on Grief (2021).

While the novel’s portrayal of Omelogor’s transition from banking to academia has drawn mixed reactions, its central message remains clear: the power of women standing together in the face of adversity.

In her “Author’s Note,” Adichie states her aim was to “write a wrong in the balance of stories,” offering a blend of realism and tenderness.

Dream Count is published by Fourth Estate and Knopf, spanning 416 pages, and is available for £20 in the UK and $32 in the US.

The Founder of Streams of Joy International, Pastor Jerry Eze, has shared how he and his team miraculously survived a plane crash while returning from the NSPPD Prayer Conference in Lagos.

Speaking during Sunday’s church service, Pastor Jerry, also known for convening the New Season Prophetic Prayers and Declaration (NSPPD), recounted the harrowing experience that unfolded during their flight back to Abuja.

According to him, he felt a deep sense of unease as soon as he boarded the plane. His spirit, he said, was restless, prompting him to ask the air hostess if he could speak with the pilot — a request rooted in a sudden spiritual prompting.

“Before we even took off, I asked to see the pilot because my spirit was not accepting him,” Pastor Jerry recalled. Despite the unsettling feeling, exhaustion from the conference led him to simply pray and proceed with the journey.

However, the flight took a terrifying turn upon landing. The plane crash-landed, and the impact was intense.

“Everything went haywire,” he said. “We heard a loud ‘Gboahhh!’ They said it was a hard landing, a crash landing — whatever it was. But when we came out of the plane, all the tires had burst.”

Miraculously, Pastor Jerry confirmed that every passenger on board emerged unscathed.

“Everyone of us came out — nothing missing, nothing broken!” he declared, praising God for their survival.

Adesua Etomi has opened up about a life-threatening health struggle, revealing her battle with hyperemesis and an emergency C-section in 2024 — a year she described as one that “tried to take the wind out of my sail.”

In an emotional Instagram post, Etomi recounted how hyperemesis, a severe form of morning sickness, caused her to vomit multiple times a day, turning her pregnancy into a fight for survival. Despite the physical and emotional toll, she credited her recovery to God’s faithfulness and expressed deep gratitude for making it through.

The actress also shared that her husband, musician Banky W, faced his own health crisis during this period, undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. She praised him for his strength, writing, “Banky, I love you to life.”

Reflecting on the emergency C-section she endured, Etomi described the experience as a moment when “the devil tried it with my life AGAIN.” She acknowledged the medical teams in Lagos and Washington, DC, whose efforts played a vital role in saving her life.

As she celebrated her birthday, Etomi extended heartfelt thanks to her supporters, saying, “I know I missed a lot, but you extended grace and wrapped me in so much love.”

Ending her post with a message of resilience, Etomi declared: “Now, I am coming for everything that’s mine. Nothing and nobody can stop me.”
