Nigerian televangelist preacher, Apostle Johnson Suleman, founder and senior pastor of shoppingmode Omega Fire Ministry, has in a video on his church’s official Facebook page a few minutes ago, disclosed the question he asked himself the day he was attacked by the assassins for 24 hours.

Recall that Apostle Suleman was attacked by assassins on Friday, 22nd of October around Auchi area of Edo state. An attack that led to bloodshed.

However, Apostle Suleman during Sunday Thanksgiving service today recount the incident and disclosed the question he asked himself for 24 hours the day of that horrible incident.

According to him, “Nigeria work by connection including hatred, there are people that hate you on behalf of others. When I was attacked, when I got home the first thing I said to myself was, who wants to kill me? I don’t do business with anybody, I don’t owe anybody. For like a whole day, that was what I was thinking. Who wants to kill me.”

“I was worried, I was thanking God for preservation, I expect if I offend you, you tell me before it gets to level of 9 assassins. I was worried, asking who want to kill me and my family for over 24 hours.”

He then said that he knows they can’t kill him which he said is the truth but he worried because he tried his best to be good to people.

See reasons why your nipples hurt

When they hurt, it might get too uncomfortable to even put on a bra. And while the soreness doesn’t necessarily mean something serious, sometimes it could be a medical condition that should not be ignored.

Here are some reasons as to why your nipples might be hurting:

1. Allergic reactions
Since they are very sensitive, nipples could react from chemicals from soaps, lotions, fabric, or laundry detergents. So if you notice that your nipples are hurting after changing your soaps, it could be simply an allergy.


2. Mastitis
This is a serious condition that needs treatment. It’s common during breastfeeding and leads to painful nipples and breast. You could also experience fatigue, chills and fever. When the milk stays in the breast for too long, it leads to an infection.

3. Menstruation
Your hormones can go haywire during menstruation leading to tender and sore nipples. The good news however, is that this kind of pain is short-lived and you don’t have to seek medication.

4. Yeast infection
Got you by surprise? Well, the same yeast infections that affect your private parts can also affect your nipples causing you pain. This mostly happens to women who wear bras with a non-breathable fabric. Breastfeeding mums are also at the risk of getting thrush from their babies. The infections, luckily, are easily treated with antibiotic.

5. Pregnancy
Congratulations to you! You might soon be a mom. Before you even experience morning sickness or a missed period, your nipples might be the first sign that you are pregnant. So if you are not using birth control or haven’t been exercising lately, you may consider having a pregnancy test as the first thing.

6. Vigorous exercise
Exercise is good for your overall health. However, if you need to get a well-fitting bra for the same. The wrong fabric or ill-fitting bra will definitely cause you nipple pain.

US Sports Journalist, Grant Wahl, Dies In Qatar

An American sports journalist, Grant Wahl, has died in Qatar, where he was covering the World Cup.

According to ESPN, Wahl died while covering the World Cup match between Argentina and the Netherlands.
Reports reveal that Wahl fell back in his seat in the press box at Lusail Iconic Stadium during extra time and reporters adjacent to him called for assistance. Emergency services workers responded very quickly, the reporters said,and the reporters later were told that Wahl had died.

Wahl had written on Monday on his website that he had visited a medical clinic while in Qatar.

Earlier during the World Cup, Wahl drew international attention after saying he was briefly stopped from attending the US match against Wales in November for wearing a rainbow-coloured T-shirt.

Wahl said he was detained for 25 minutes at Ahmed Bin Ali stadium in Al Rayyan, then was let go by a security commander.

'Ruger, BNXN can’t sing, buy awards’ — Portable slams

Portable says artistes like Ruger and BNXN must re-learn the art of music making from him.

The singer put out a monologue where he heavily criticised Ruger and BNXN while making a number of allegations.

Portable made claims about both singers while speaking of artistes who buy streaming numbers and awards.

He said practices of this sort unfairly dislodge other industry players whose talents should receive validation.

The controversial singer also criticised the thematic focus of both singers’ lyrics as excessively being about women.

“Tell Ruger and Buju to learn music from Dr. Zeh. They don’t know how to sing. Their lyrics are not audible. It’s not that we don’t understand English. It’s just that their wordings are not audible enough,” Portable said in Pidgin.

“It’s not just about singing about women and earning all the awards. Can’t you praise God? Can’t you talk reality things? Can’t you say wise wordings? Are you mad or something? Later they end up with all the awards.

“All the downloads Ruger gets, who downloads it? Is it not all lies? You guys kill other people’s careers.

“There are artistes who are far better than you guys. You use fake life to kill other people’s careers. Music is business and it’s competitive. But you guys use money to buy out awards.”

Ruger and BNXN are yet to react to Portable’s rant — as of the time of this report.

The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ crooner is not new to controversies. He has been involved in a series of dramas in 2022 alone.

In one such case, Portable was in the news for physically assaulting one of his signees after an argument.

The singer once claimed to have founded a cult that had terrorised residents in parts of Lagos state years back.

He also threatened to assassinate rival musicians nominated alongside him in The Headies 2022.

The police, as a result, ordered a probe into the cult claim while The Headies eventually disqualified him.
