Uyo based Danish humanitarian, Anja Ringgren Lovén rescued, rehabilitated and adopted Hope, a small boy who was tagged a ‘witch’ and  abandoned by his family in Akwa Ibom State. A year after the rescue, Anja shared a before and after post with Hope as he starts his school journey. OAP Freeze, who has no love for pastors, reacted to the post by calling out RCCG and pastors who ‘extort’ your hard earned money all in the name of tithe. In a lengthy post, Freeze wrote, “Redeemed was busy setting up churches on every street, yet they missed this boy…..

"Make the most of yourself....for that is all there is of you." --Ralph Waldo Emerson We've all made mistakes throughout our lives that haven't exactly put us in the best light--like bullying someone in school or telling what seemed like a little white lie.

1. Use relationships to teach you how to be whole within. Relationships aren’t about having another person complete you, but coming to the relationship whole and sharing your life interdependently. By letting go of the romantic ideal of merging and becoming “one,” you learn as Rainer Maria Rilke says, to love the distances in relationship as much as the togetherness. 2. See your partner for who he or she really is. The romantic tragedy occurs when you view the person you are in love with as a symbol of what they have come to represent, the idea of them. When you realize that more often than not you don’t really know your partner, you begin to discover who they are and how they change and evolve. 3. Be willing to learn from each other. The key is to see the other as a mirror and learn from the reflection how you can be a better person. When you feel upset, rather than blame your partner and point fingers, remain awake to what has yet to be healed in yourself. 4. Get comfortable being al...
