Experts say Tiwa Savage's wedding gown was a No, No!

While everyone else was admiring Tiwa Savage's cinderella-like wedding gown yesterday, some experts were busy analyzing the gown.

Here's how the Style Experts report it:

She must have spent a fortune, wasted days and hours for fitting and amendments, but the expert jury we put together to access the wedding dress has given velvety voiced Savage a hard knock!

For the untrained eye the dress looks sensational, and that includes this reporter who described it as amazingly beautiful, but the Vera Wang dress according to our team did not do justice to her size or her shape!

We are told that the ball, strapless gown could have been perfect if Tiwa Savage was  a fuller figure woman but for her shape it was off the mark. In fact, one of the experts said jocularly that except she had become pregnant over night; it was not appropriate. “The gown looked over-sized at first glance and that is not a good sign at all”.

“Tiwa is svelte, with an hour-glass shape to die for, did you notice that with the dress? If you didn’t then that dress did not pass the first test of fitting. Maybe the gown minus the frills would have worked better” one of our experts noted.

But Tiwa got excellent marks for her make-up which was described as flawless. Her make make-up handled by Joyce Jacobs, took care to work around her cheek bones and was perfect. Same high marks went for her hair done by Debola Falana. And her veil too was given thumps up.

We gathered that the celebration was in three parts. The first part was the wedding proper where the couple were formally joined as one flesh and one blood. This was held in an open plan area that was decorated slightly and guests were seated church-style facing the couple.

Thereafter, the reception was held at the Armani Hotel.  The after wedding party was also held at the hotel and it rolled till the wee hours of this morning.

"I call him Ibrahim" Wizkid's mum grants her very first interview with the media

Aww, how sweet!
So Dailypost caught up with Wizkid's mum at a wedding ceremony  held at Church of The Pentecost Hall, Festac Town, Lagos on Saturday, and she excitedly talked about her superstar son!

Mother of sensational artiste, Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun, aka Wizkid, Mrs Jane Dolapo,  attributed her son’s success to God. The proud mum said she praises God on a daily basis for her son’s remarkable career.

“I’m so glad that he is my son, and that I’m his mother. I give God all the glory. God has kept him for us and He will continue to.”

Advising aspiring musicians, she urged them to “put God first, work hard and be good to others.”
Asked whether she calls her son Wizkid, the superstar’s funky mother laughed, then responded, “Well, right from when he was small, I call him ‘IB-boy’. You know his real name is Ibrahim, so we formed ‘IB’ from it.” she said

Vatican Declares Popes John Paul II And John XXIII Saints

Pope Francis has declared two of his predecessors, John Paul II and John XXIII, saints of the Roman Catholic church.

During the official proclamation at about 10.15am today, Pope Francis paid tribute to "two men of courage" who he said had "co-operated with the Holy Spirit in renewing and updating the church". He said:

"We declare and define Blessed John XXIII and John Paul II to be saints and we enrol them among the saints, decreeing that they are to be venerated as such by the whole church. They were priests, bishops and popes of the 20th century. They lived through the tragic events of that century, but they were not overwhelmed by them.

John XXIII, he said, was a pastor to the church, "a servant leader" who had called the Second Vatican Council. John Paul II, meanwhile, was "the pope of the family". Pope Francis said he hoped the two new saints would intercede with God "so that … [the church] may be open to the Holy Spirit in pastoral service to the family".

Carrying flags, backpacks and rolled foam mattresses, over 500,000 pilgrims from all over the world had flocked into Vatican City overnight to attend the unprecedented double-canonisation mass in St Peter's Square.

Only God Could Have Done This! "A mad man showed me my wealth"

What a big God! What a mighty God our God is. A fool will say there is no God. He looks around and all over the place and does not or can not see what God is doing. What l am today was made possible by the Lord God who made the heavens and the earth. I never imagined l could make it in life the way things turned out to be. 

I desired to make it in life through 'the works of my hands' and the grace of God. But the latter became the major aspect,  while the work of my hands was just an addendum (would l be correct to use this word).

My testimony had been shared with a special class of people some times ago. I always look for a forum like this to tell the people who are hopeless.  If you, reading this piece, has never seen or felt the move of God in your life, l want to tell you there is nothing, l say nothing God cannot do. 

I finished my education to an appreciable level. I applied for work unending. There was no one to give me a push in life. There was one thing l never failed to do, that is crying to God to help me in life. I would tell Him it was only Him that could help.

All around me, l would hear 'Think and get started' l thought and thought yet l could not bring myself up to do anything. But praise to the living God who rules in the affairs of His people. Where l could not help myself, God rose for me. 

I was in a place of worship one fateful day, when the guest speaker that day - a man of God, gave me hope.  

He pointed at me and said that 'by this time next week, you would change your position. You would be in the class of the millionaires'. 

Lol, I just said Amen in the faith but I wondered  how  possible that would be.

Anyway, I received the message as mere declaration.

This happened 7 years ago and l am sharing it with you today to tell you to depend on God totally whatever success you are making now.  We need HIM.

On the fifth day of the prophesy, God used a mad Man for me.

There was this mad man that normally passed by our street, I would buy a small loaf of bread for him or throw N50 at him, praying along side my giving that no power would turn me or my people to such state he was.  

This man was seriously mad. Everybody around our street knew him. Sometimes he would be stark naked walking around talking to only - God knows where. 

Mark my word, he was not like today's mad men with whom you will find expensive hand sets etc.  

So on this fateful day, the mad man spoke to me after I gave him some money, he said 'follow me, l want to show you something'. 

Of course, curiosity took the better part of me. I followed him at a distance; he got to the dunghill around our house- about eight or so houses to ours, and told me to go and carry one salt sack hidden under debris. 

I was initially reluctant, may be it was a setup. But he said 'Go, take it. l want to show you kindness as you have been to me. Some people were fleeing and dropped this. They may come back later in the night to take it. Money is there'. 

His speech was not normal. With fear l moved to the place, picked a plank to hit and feel the 'thing'. People were moving on the UN-tarred road by it. 

l pretended as if l was one of those who go about picking things on the refuse hills. And true, it was money, real money! 

The mad man had seen it while picking junks on that hill. But God put me on his mind to go and invite me to the place. I felt like taking it to the Police but l had a rethink. How would they know the owner? Would it not be descended upon and 'gulped'? 

I came home, separated the whole lot-a million naira and opened four accounts to lodge the money. It must not sleep with me. Until l know what become of the aftermath. I wanted to know or hear of a hue or cry about it. 

For two or so weeks after, nothing happened. l remembered the message 'this time next week....'. God raised me up from that. l went into the business and God has been helping me, giving me ideas to expand. 

I have never shown my face in giving the testimony in order not to get undue attention. I only told my Pastor and decided there and then with him not to mention my name whenever he wanted to use my case to tell people that God can do anything and can use anything to bring about His work to perfection. 

God is the Almighty! Only Him could have done it. Note, the guest pastor that prophesied to me was not in the same town as l was then. If God could pick me out of the crowd and change my story, my destiny is in His hand, SO IS YOURS.

My Late Husband Abandoned Me For Another Woman— Actress Rachael Oniga Laments

Veteran actress, Rachael Oniga, who is well known for her motherly role in movies and also well loved by many, had it rough in her marriage, which resulted in her separating from her heartthrob, who is now late. She recently revealed the reason behind her crashed marriage. Speaking with the Sun, the talented actress disclosed that her late husband left her for another woman.

She lamented that she was initially shocked by the development because she had trusted her man, but decided to move on without having any other man in her life since then.

“During our years of courtship and marriage, I never thought we could just break up like that or anything could ever come between us. Back then he told me everything. I could tell you where he was at every moment; I trusted him so much,” she said.

Speaking on why she has remained unmarried since the incident occurred, Rachael said, “I believe so much in myself, and when I got over the shock of the separation and all that, I made up my mind that I was going to make a statement without a man. I wanted to prove that a hardworking woman could make an impact and with God’s grace.”

Rachael advised women to “believe in yourself and with hard work, you will get there. God is always faithful. I killed my emotions and I said to myself ‘Rachael, your kids must go to the best schools.’ It was just work and my children.”
