DEAR ma,

Today’s my 26th birthday. I really appreciate you for all your teachings on s3xual purity and how to remain chaste till marriage. Thank you for giving virgins like me the courage to not defile the bed till marriage. God has been helping me in so many ways.

Especially in my spiritual life and academics. Even though I am schooling in a federal university full of all sorts, I have been able to stand my ground that chastity is indeed to key to holiness and to good tidings. I really hope to see you in person some day ma. Thank you so much for yielding to Christ works. May God continue to give you all the resources you need to fulfil your purpose in life. Amen in Jesus name. I love you so much ma.

Dear Aunty Temilolu,

I just need your counsel ma. So many times I regret a lot of things I did in the past! I’ve cried over it times without number. I had s3x with two guys and ended up having an abortion. I started following your page and reading your articles. I have started attending Baptism class and hope to get baptized soon. But I am always crying and wish I can return to my past and change it.…I feel wasted. I’ve come to realize s3x doesn’t keep a man. There’s nothing better than a chaste life! I’m so worried and wonder if I’d ever get married? Also, will I have a child? I’m always feeling guilty, ashamed and condemned because I feel God has not forgiven me. Your piece of advice will go a long way ma. Thanks so much ma for your impact in this generation.

Please keep me anonymous.

My darling, precious, glorious, dignified, world-famous and heavenly celebrated Nigerian sisters.

Even God knows a lot of you are not prepared for the onslaught of a highly depraved world as this! Too many people have had their spiritual foundation soiled from childhood thereby giving the devil enormous power to confuse them and succeed in derailing their destiny.

Or what do you expect of an 18-year-old who has already slept with 15 men whose life has been bombarded with strange spirits from different men/destinies and in fact their multiple s3x partners! How I wish the church we believe in would slam the dire consequences of defiling the temple of God on your faces at every service! THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER! How could anyone even feel comfortable opening her thighs with no qualms and allowing anyone come in and go as they like. MAY GOD DELIVER THE WORLD BECAUSE IT’S GOING TO GET WORSE! I thank God for the anonymous lady who is quick to retrace her steps and pray God

redefines and rebrand her life. With her penitence, I believe God has long forgiven her and can only give her the best days of her life if she walks with him in spirit and in truth. And I’m believing you reading would have a change of heart as well and stop messing around with your destiny!

If Rahab the prostitute in the bible was later mentioned in the genealogy of our Lord Jesus Christ, there’s nothing God can’t do for anyone who decides to pitch his/her tent with Him. You can’t honour God’s temple and not have the world at your feet! Not only will you amass enormous power to conquer the devil and its whims, you will command the best things in life to yourself!

As it is written in Haggai 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.

As you have chosen to stop defiling your body and honour God with your body as written in 1 Corinthians 6: 20, may all the good in the world be your portion! May your glory appear this year and may you end up with the best man ever in Jesus mighty name!

 

Chastity does not belong to the past. It saves you a lot of trouble, preserves your beautiful destiny and stands you out from the crowd. You are better off not engaging in pre-marital and extra-marital s3x. Stay chaste!

May you continue to be an uncommon counselor and joy giver in Jesus name. People like you should live forever; I cherish the beauty of God in you! I wish you more strength in Jesus name!

Dear Evangelist Temilolu,

When a pure heart speaks you will surely know. I have not only read your articles but followed you on facebook and watched and observed you keenly for sometime now. I must say you are unique, special, wise, knowledgeable, caring, loving, beautiful, decent and adorable- every lady ought to be like you. Your heart is pure and simple-no pride or ego or any form of arrogance despite all you carry- instead you are humble and passionate. I will recommend your articles to my sisters and all the ladies i know so that they can see how one can be very accomplished, beautiful, fashionable and yet virtuous and filled with the spirit and the power of God! I am pleased to know you.

Mr. Chibuike Igwe

My darling, precious, glorious, dignified, world-famous and heavenly celebrated Nigerian sisters,

A few weeks ago, I took 3 little girls to dinner at Radisson Blu Hotel and then a lady who looked familiar ran to me and grabbed my legs as she knelt down in greeting, dragging me to her aunty and telling her to thank me! I was seeing this 35-year-old virgin physically for the very first time after talking over the phone and praying with her once-in-a-while over the years! Fast forward…

My phone kept ringing the following morning at about 6:30am and i wondered who was calling me persistently so early. It was this lady and she spoke with me ecstatically for 22 minutes! I still can’t get over her joy and excitement! The last time we spoke 2 years ago, she was crying because she was posted to some place where a good accommodation was impossible and also crying as usual about loneliness, a good man not coming her way and everyone asking for s3x. She didn’t have a car either, just managing life! I remember seeing her on facebook early this  year or so being celebrated for becoming a Fellow of ICAN and I marveled! During our conversation, this lady told me she bought a piece of land last year and built 4 beautiful flats her neighbors can’t believe belong to her! I was dumbfounded as i asked her how it happened, she said God led her to bid for a consulting job and her story changed! What more? She’s almost done with her Ph.d.

SO DO YOU THINK THE SAME GOD WHO’S REWARDED HER FOR HER OBEDIENCE WON’T GIVE HER THE BEST MAN EVER AND MULTIPLE BIRTHS??? Imagine if she didn’t preserve herself with so much determination and develop her potentials! Maybe she would have ended up one man’s slave and some once-in-a-lifetime opportunities would have passed her by! THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER!!!

You better go and beg God for His spirit to overshadow your life before the world turns you to nonsense! What good has come out of all your s3xual engagements?

1. BY ALL MEANS preserve your virginity till marriage and be sold out to God- He will direct your steps and make you a wonderful wonder! REFUSE TO OPEN UP YOUR LIFE/VIRTUES TO ANYONE BUT YOUR SPOUSE! Surrender to God and let Him overhaul and refill you if you’ve been engaging in s3x.
2. God is SUPER-COMMITTED TO THOSE WHO ARE COMMITTED TO HIM! No matter how old you are, do you think He’ll ignore you or let you face shame after refusing to defile His temple amidst so much pressure and mockery??? CAPITAL NO!!! Isaiah 49:23

MAY YOUR TESTIMONY SOUND UNBELIEVABLE EVEN TO YOUR PASTOR IN JESUS NAME!

Becky Emmanuel Bassey is CEO of BEME Collections. A designer, single mother of three who got married at 19, shes tell Yetunde Oladeinde of her beauty regimen.

THINGS gradually fell apart but instead of dwelling on her challenges, Becky picked up the pieces, recovered self and ran with her creative dreams as a designer.

“Being a model would be more of relieving my dreams. I did a couple of things here as an amateur and also paid great attention to my looks. The name black Diamond came from discovering myself. One day I just looked into the mirror and told myself I can do everything.  I am strong no matter what happens, I would always shine. I thought of being a diamond no matter the obstacles that came my way. I know my skin colour is dark and I am very of this and that was how I added black to it.

But there was a snag. “I was not looking good because of the odds and challenges that I was faced it. So, I had to start working on myself.  I went to the gym regularly, tried to treat my skin and worked on the scars that I had on my body from violence.  It was tough but gradually everything began to fall in place”.

Her creative skills worked for her style choices as well as creating a beauty routine that worked for her. “As a child, I love fashion and sketching designs.

Along the line Becky discovered the stimulating power of wearing the right clothes for the right occasion.

Gradually, she started to see how empowered, confident, and assured her outfits made her feel and how that impacted the way she was perceived.

Sophisticated, elegant, and undeniably feminine in spite of her low cropped hair style she has been able to create a bridge between her passion for fashion, motivating others and her personal life.

Ask about the things that make her tick and happily she takes you into her world.

‘I tried keeping that African woman look. Natural, dark blue and beautiful”.

Dark and lovely, aptly describes her glowing skin and she tells you about the things she does to maintain the glow. “I use coconut oil on my skin with vitamin E. It has a fabulous effect and it is something that works for me all the time”.

Apart from knowing what to wear at the right time, maintaining a magnetic skin tone, she also puts in a lot of effort to maintain her curves in the right places. “I go to the gym twice every week. Then I also did something special to have this curves in a natural way”, she enthuses.

You want to know about this amazing beauty secret, then come along and hear this: “Whenever I am bathing three times in a week I use oil in water to bath. I actually learnt this from my mom. This is done mostly by people from my tribe (the Akwaibomites).”

She continued: “I pour little coconut oil or baby oil in hot water in a bucket which I usually use has my bath. After bathing with shower I will sit on a kitchen chair, now use that hot oily water and massage my hip and ass. That is how I have been able to get these natural curves, looking like the real African woman.”

She added: “I go to the gym twice every week. I made up my mind  to be happy no matter what and drinking  lots of water and fruits are my thing. Whenever I notice my stomach is getting big I use turmeric, ginger and garlic in hot water and within a few days I’m back to shape”.

Ogechukwu Agwu known with the sobriquet Better Soup is a customer service specialist, former Journalist, ex chef and a future program manager. In this encounter with Sam Anokam, she takes you into her beauty secrets and the things that make her tick.

I know that they say that beauty is from within but honestly a good night rest is my secret. It just does is for me, whenever you see me looking good and glowing just know that I rested well.

She informed that: “It is paramount to me to ensure that I get at least 7 hours of sleep every day. I ensure that I eat as healthy as I can; eating healthy for me is having as much pineapple as I can as it is my favourite fruit. I try to have fruits at least 4 times in a week”.

You want to know how often does she visit the Spa, and how it work for her. “I have never visited a spa, I self-pamper myself, lying on the bed and just relaxing does it for me. Maybe someday I will get to visit the spa”.

So, how does she pamper her skin? “The first thing in my routine will be sleep. I can’t emphasise enough the importance of adequate sleep. Truth is nothing works for my skin by extension my whole being in general when I don’t get enough sleep”.

The rest of her routine is therefore sectioned into the face and the body. “For my face, I do less make up because I have acne prone skin, which is hormonal related, so my facial products help to combat the occasional break outs I get. I suffer hyperpigmentation so it’s a constant battle. However, in recent times, I stopped obsessing for a clear skin, I know now that I may never achieve that, what I am after is a healthy skin”.

For her body, she answers this way: “I don’t really do much, God really blessed me from my neck down (laughs), all I do is use my exfoliating scrub and apply Vaseline or she butter whichever is handy at the time”.

Next, she goes on to talk about the things she avoids in her diet? “In all honesty I avoid foods I hate like fufu, semo, pounded yam, garlic and anything that contains garlic, pizza, hot dog, sharwama. Also, there are several things I don’t like, and I generally don’t include them in my diet”.

She continued: “I also avoid foods that causes the acid in my stomach to reflux or give me heart burn. I know you may be wondering what then do I eat?  Well, I eat the things I eat and I eat them very well”.

What won’t Ogechukwu do in the name of fashion? “I will never put on anything that makes me uncomfortable. Most importantly, I will never be caught wearing green”.

You also want to know her favourite products and make-up artiste and she responds this way: “I don’t have a favourite product; I just go for what works for me. For example, as outdated as it may seem, I still use Mary Kay Medium coverage Foundation till tomorrow. I have never found any foundation that matches my skin tone and my undertone as much as it does. So, yes whatever works for me goes”.

She added, “As for makeup artiste, that would be Ujunwa for me, she is the lady that does my make up whenever I have a function to attend. What attracted her to me was her brows technique, the first day she did my brows I knew I had found a makeup artiste that I love. It is not everyone that likes to thin out the brows and then draw them back, Ujunwa understood that, and every time gives me what I want”.

Does exercising during weekend count? Yes, it does for Ogechukwu. “Because that is when I have the time to exercise, and it is basically aerobics and dancing as I do my chores”.

Favourite hairdo? “That has to be knotless braids, may God bless whoever invented that hairstyle. Although now I am currently on low cut, I tend to switch up my look every now and then”.

When I turned 50, five years ago I made another declaration that when I turn 100 years I will look 50! I believe that in life according to the word of God we get what we say.”

That is what she does on the spiritual level and goes on to reveal the things she does to maintain her looks and good all the time.

Next, she goes on to talk about the other things she does and the benefits so far.

“Once in a month, I get my pedicure done.  It is usually a very beautiful time for me because I read my books while getting my pedicure done. It usually is a refreshing time for me”.

She also pays great attention to the food she eats which has helped to nourish her body and radiate from within. “I love good foods. I eat plenty of fish and chicken. I eat plenty of potatoes, carrots and beans. I eat little portions of foods regularly and tend to avoid beef”.

Victoria added that: “I will never tamper with my body in any form or shape. I have never bleached my skin and will never do. I love how God Almighty created me from head to toe and will never do plastic surgery for any reason throughout my life time. I love my natural beauty look and only use products that enhance my skin’s natural beauty. I avoid fashion trends but set my own trends per time”.

Happily, she takes you into her world and her favourite products. “I use Nivea body lotion, olive oil hair products, and moisturizers, cleansers and oriental by Zara perfume”.

The hair gives every woman that first impression and you want to know what she does to stand out here.  “I wear permed hair most of the time. I sometimes braid my hair and I am not usually adventurous when it comes to my hair”.
