Nollywood actress Mary Njoku has told pastors to take responsibility for their words and actions instead of invoking “Touch not my anointed” when they face criticism.

Njoku made the statement in a post shared on her social media page, saying the biblical phrase should apply when someone is falsely accusing, lying against or deliberately trying to harm a pastor.

“Touch not my anointed applies when someone is falsely accusing you, lying against you, or deliberately trying to harm you,” she wrote.

She said pastors should not blame people who accurately recount what they have said or done publicly when such accounts attract criticism.

“When someone gives an accurate account of what you said or did publicly, and it is causing you harm, Brethren, the problem isn’t the storyteller. The problem is what you said or did,” Njoku said.

She urged pastors to own their words and actions, apologise when necessary and explain themselves where there is additional context.

“Take responsibility for it. Own your words. Own your actions. Reflect on them, apologise if necessary, explain yourself if there is context, and move on,” she added.

Njoku also reminded pastors that nobody is above mistakes.

“Nobody is perfect. We are all human,” she said.

American model and television personality, Amber Rose, has revealed that she no longer identifies as a feminist, saying her perspective has changed since becoming a mother to sons.

Rose made the disclosure while reflecting on how her views have evolved with age and motherhood.

According to her, she still believes in empowering women and supporting “girl power,” but she now has a broader understanding of gender issues.

“As I’ve gotten older and now have sons, I’m no longer a feminist. I still believe in girl power, but I see both sides now,” Rose said.

Her comments have sparked reactions online, with some social media users debating her decision to distance herself from feminism, while others said her views may have changed as a result of her experiences as a mother and raising sons.

Rose has previously been vocal about women’s empowerment, body positivity and gender-related issues.

“Mumu guy, if you want to let your girlfriend or your wife know how beautiful they are, you can appreciate their beauty with a house or a car,” Peller said.

He also claimed that Jarvis recently paid for her surgery herself, saying the bill was about $20,000.

“My wife have her money and she still fine join. I appreciate her with a car,” he added.

Peller further criticised Carter for allegedly discouraging his partners from working while relying on the money he makes from Twitch.

He said his decision to spend money on Jarvis was not about comparing her with anyone but about showing how much he loves his wife.

“That one na less wetin I go use appreciate her next. We don’t know, it might be a [car], I Love my woman not by comparing her with your girlfriend or ex wey no get talent to make there own big money,” Peller said.

A Nigerian lady has publicly accused the management of popular singer Reekado Banks of failing to fulfil a compensation promise allegedly made to her after she joined the artiste on stage during a performance.

In a video circulating online, the lady recounted her experience, stating that she enjoyed dancing with Reekado Banks on stage and was preparing to leave when a member of the singer’s management team approached her.

According to her, the manager informed her that she would receive compensation for participating in the performance, despite the fact that she had neither requested nor expected any payment.

She said the manager exchanged contact details with her, after which she sent a message introducing herself. However, she claimed that she did not receive any further response.

The lady further alleged that a few days later, another individual who identified himself as a member of Reekado Banks’ team contacted her to inquire whether she had received the promised compensation.

Seeking clarification, she said she reached out to the initial manager to confirm the identity of the person who contacted her. According to her, the manager requested a screenshot of their conversation, which she promptly sent.

However, she claimed that ‘the manager subsequently left her message unanswered, she added that despite following up again days later, she received no response’.

Expressing her disappointment, the lady said she would not have expected any payment if it had not been offered to her in the first place.

“It’s not even about the money. If they had not offered compensation, I wouldn’t have expected anything. But once a promise is made, it should be honoured and properly communicated.”

As of the time of filing this report, Reekado Banks and his management team have not publicly responded to the allegation.

Raneen Awad has already started making transformative moves in her life at a time when many young people are still trying to figure out who they will be in the future. At the age of 16, she began her career in the beauty industry as a face model in various beauty salons. This early experience led her on a career journey that would eventually see her move from content creation and social media to entrepreneurship and the establishment of her own skincare and beauty brand, RENO. Now, Raneen has 264,000 followers on Instagram and has become a social media influencer, content creator, entrepreneur, and founder/owner of RENO. However, her enterprise was not just a flash in the pan. It grew out of years of experimentation, learning, hard work, and an eagerness to venture into new territory. 

Building Experience From a Young AgeBefore RENO came along, Raneen’s entrepreneurial journey had already begun. She began her work at the age of 16 and slowly started building her social media following and gaining recognition via Instagram. She didn’t just create content; she gradually built a strong presence and following on social media. She also started working in the piercing industry, gained experience, and eventually became an instructor, teaching girls in specialized courses. 
As she kept developing her career on her own, she gained a new kind of experience at each stage. At the age of 17, she went even further and created her first product, named RENO Lips, a lip-plumping gloss, instead of being just a social media personality. The response was greater than she had expected. RENO Lips quickly gained attention and generated very high sales. More important for the future of the business, though, was the customer demand for more products. That demand created an opportunity to expand. 

Turning One Product Into a Growing Brand

Following the success of RENO Lips, Raneen was inspired to scale up her business and introduce a wider variety of skincare products. It began with one product and slowly grew into RENO. During the next six years, she developed the concept into a recognized skincare brand.RENO Skin Whitening Cream is one of the brand’s strongest products and has become one of the company’s leading products, and the brand has been actively expanding its presence in the skincare market. RENO products are produced by high-quality skincare manufacturing facilities in Korea. Now, the company sells thousands of products annually and has expanded its presence in other countries. Starting a business from scratch was a challenge for Raneen, particularly when it came to gaining people’s trust. “Customer trust and product quality are the foundation of a successful brand,” Raneen says.
This was especially significant to her as she was starting the business on her own and was very young to begin. Raneen said RENO products’ quality and effectiveness contributed to building a high level of customer trust and sales in the first year. 

Entrepreneurship Beyond Social Media InfluenceRaneen’s story also exemplifies how an audience can be an integral part of a much larger entrepreneurial path. Her social media platform earned her recognition, but it was not her end goal. Rather, she combined her experience in beauty, her social media presence, and what she had learned throughout her early career into something she could build for herself. This is at the heart of the RENO story. It’s not just an extension of a social media profile. 
Raneen says that it was developed from years of experience, determination, experimentation, and learning. Her approach to growing the business also shows how she has learned over the years. Marketing is not a bad way to raise awareness, but Raneen feels that a greater emphasis should be placed on the quality of the products and the trust of the customers. It is a philosophy adopted by RENO as the company expands its business. 

Taking RENO Into New MarketsRaneen is now working to take the brand further into international markets after six years of development. RENO already has business relations and activities in Israel, the UAE, and Turkey. Further, Raneen has established a company in Dubai, UAE, an important step in the brand’s international expansion, with plans to market RENO products in the UAE and Turkey. 
The move is another in a series of progressive steps in her career. Her first work was in the beauty industry at age 16. She then gained a following via social media. She developed a career in the piercing industry and became an instructor. She became an entrepreneur at 17 and launched a product whose success surprised even her. Over time, customer demand encouraged her to create more. Over the past six years, RENO’s goals have continued to evolve. 

“My biggest ambition is to make RENO products recognized and available worldwide,” Raneen says.

International expansion is now one of her primary goals as she works toward introducing the brand to additional markets and reaching customers in more countries.

A Business Built Step by Step

Raneen Awad’s entrepreneurial journey may be best summarized by its trajectory. The business she has today did not happen all at once. Rather, each step of her early career fed into the next. Her early experience in the beauty industry was followed by growing recognition on social media. Her increasing visibility led to new career opportunities. One product evolved into a range, and a locally based company is now pursuing overseas opportunities. Raneen has worked tirelessly to expand her personal brand and RENO throughout it all. 
Her experience has also influenced her thoughts on what is important in business. She doesn’t see visibility alone as the basis for growth; she continues to put customer trust and product quality first. As an entrepreneur who started working at age 16, she is now looking to scale her work in a bigger arena. As RENO expands its international reach, Raneen’s story is one of gradual evolution from early experience to influence, influence to entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurship to a brand with global aspirations.

A hype man, Fisayo Olagunju, popularly known as MC Fish, has reignited his social media dispute with his estranged wife, actress Anita Joseph, with a series of allegations against her.

MC Fish, who shared the posts on his Instagram Stories, claimed he had screenshots and recorded conversations concerning Anita’s alleged dealings with an unnamed ‘man of God’.

“Remember I have screenshots and tapped recordings of all your dealings with that certain man of God,” he wrote.

The entertainer also dismissed claims that he depended financially on Anita during their marriage, insisting that he was responsible for funding much of the lifestyle they enjoyed.

According to him, he went as far as taking loans to sustain their lifestyle.

MC Fish further made a controversial claim about Anita’s use of waist trainers, alleging that the practice contributed to the loss of their child.

“Remember I told you it was because of all those waist trainers you are wearing that you lost my child,” he alleged.

He also claimed that Anita had been experiencing financial difficulties since the end of their marriage, describing the relationship as a “nightmare”.

The latest outburst comes months after both parties publicly discussed the collapse of their marriage.

MC Fish had previously claimed that infidelity from both sides contributed to the breakdown of the union. Anita had earlier cited infidelity, domestic violence and substance abuse on the part of her ex-husband when announcing their separation.

As of the time of filing this report, Anita Joseph had not publicly responded to the latest allegations.

Music executive, Ubi Franklin, has said reality show, BBNaija, no longer commands public conversation the way it did in the past, despite remaining a successful brand.

Franklin made the remark in a post shared on his X account.

“Big Brother Naija reminds me of a massive artist who is still successful, still performing and still has fans, but no longer commands the conversation like before,” he said.

According to him, the reality show remains a major brand but has lost some of its previous cultural relevance.

“That’s where Big Brother is today. It’s still a big brand, but the cultural relevance isn’t what it used to be,” Franklin said.

He called for a rethink of the show’s strategy, saying success alone may not be enough to maintain relevance.

“Sometimes being successful isn’t enough—you have to go back to the drawing board, re-strategize, reposition and find a way to become relevant again,” he added.
