In a recent interview, Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels spoke about the famous initiation into the Aniocha women’s cult after she got married.

The actress while chatting with Vanguard revealed that she wasn’t actually initiated into a cult, rather it was rites held to welcome her into womanhood.

“First of all, I will not call it an initiation, it is more like being welcome to womanhood and for you to be part of that group. It’s an elite group, you must be married and be a woman of substance. I will say I’m even privileged to be part of that group,” she said.

“MY BRITISH FRIENDS WARNED ME NOT TO MARRY PRINCE HARRY” – MEGHAN MARKLE

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle has described the past year as a member of the royal family as ‘hard’ and said her British friends warned her not to marry Harry.

The US-born former actress said she had tried to cope with the pressures of her new life, since marrying the Duke of Sussex in May 2018, by putting on a ‘stiff upper lip’ but she was not prepared for the intensity of tabloid interest.

She told ITV documentary Harry & Meghan: An African Journey: “It’s hard. I don’t think anybody could understand that, but in all fairness, I had no idea, which probably sounds difficult to understand … but when I first met my now-husband my friends were really happy because I was so happy, but my British friends said to me, ‘I’m sure he’s great but you shouldn’t do it because the British tabloids will destroy your life”.

Meghan, 38, said that, as an American, she ‘very naively’ thought this did not make any sense, adding: “I’m not in tabloids. I didn’t get it, so it’s been complicated”.

“In the world, we live in, corruption and organised crime have been the order of the day. Hardly days pass by without us hearing breaking news on corruption. What to do to fight corruption? As a child, I will resist the temptation of peer pressure. I will learn how to say no to wrongdoings. I will quickly exclude myself from groups planning or committing in my society and I will report to the authorities.

“We should have good government. Government that will not engage in corrupt practices. Government that will provide us with enabling environment. As children, we want to grow up in a place where there is peace, where there is power,  and where the rule of law is respected. The future of children and the youths is in the hands of our policymakers. So, I want to plead with you to join hands together to make our world a better, safe and inclusive place.”

LOOKS LIKE NICKI MINAJ IS NOW MARRIED TO KENNETH PETTY!

Rapper, Nicki Minaj and boyfriend Kenneth Petty appear to have officially tied the knot—and just in the nick of time! After obtaining a marriage license at a Beverly Hills Courthouse in late July, the couple had just 90 days to say “I do.”

But on Monday night, Minaj announced the exciting news on Instagram with a video that showcased matching “Mr. and Mrs.” mugs and black and white baseball caps that had “Bride” and “Groom” written across the front. “Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty 10•21•19,” she captionedthe post with a bride and groom emoji.

Minaj has sparked marriage rumors left and right throughout their relationship, which they made Instagram official in December 2018. Indeed, she lovingly called the 41-year-old her husband in March, changed her Twitter name to Mrs. Petty in August and tweeted about feeling “unconditionally loved” in September.

And just days after those tweets, things got even more serious when Minaj announced her retirement from music, saying she was ready for the next phase of her life: motherhood.

“I’ve decided to retire and have my family,” she tweeted in September. “I know you guys are happy now.”

“To my fans, keep reppin me,” she continued. “Do it til da death of me, in the box—cuz ain’t nobody checkin me. Love you for LIFE.”

Rather than keep their relationship under wraps, Minaj frequently makes her love for Petty clear. She has referred to him as the Ken to her Barbie, and, back in December, she wrote in another Instagram post, “He want me to be his wife- his MISSIS like SIPPI NOW.”

BRIDE ASKS HER 4 GRANDMAS TO BE FLOWER GIRLS AT HER WEDDING

One bride broke with tradition in an absolutely charming way: Lyndsey Raby decided to eschew societal expectations of having young children as her flower girls and ask her four grandmas to take on the role instead.

The Tennessee-based bride asked her two grandmothers, her great-grandmother, and her new husband Tanner’s grandmother to be co-flower girls for her big day on September 22.

90-year-old Kathleen Brown, 70-year-old Joyce Raby, 76-year-old Wanda Grant, and 72-year-old Betty Brown all stepped up to the plate, wearing matching blue lace dresses with jackets.

They carried little white bags filled with white rose petals to scatter down the aisle at the wedding ceremony, which was held at Ocoee Crest in Benton, Tennessee.

Wedding photographer Natalie Caho captured a selection of touching images from the big day, which show all the flower girls are beaming with joy.

“When Lyndsey told me she was having her grandmothers as her flower girls, I was not expecting the level of sass that these girls brought!” Caho told Insider.

“Their energy all day was that of a little girl who is in the same position and they had so much fun all day being such a big part of Lyndsey’s day and sharing the spotlight with her.

“It truly just goes to show that age is just a number.”

“I’ve seen a lot of cute flower girls in my day … but these four gals take the cake,” Caho wrote on Instagram alongside an image of the flower girls with the bride.

Raby told HuffPost that she knew she wanted to involve her grandmother in her big day as soon as she got engaged.

“I felt so blessed to have them all here so I wanted them to be involved too,” she told the news site.

“I do believe they were more excited than my bridesmaids,” Raby said, adding that she encourages other engaged couples to give their grandparents roles in the wedding party.

“It means so much to them and it will mean so much more to you,” she said.

MEET KIKO DAVIS, THE FIRST & ONLY BLACK WOMAN TO OWN A BANK IN US

48-year old Kiko Davis is the majority stockholder of Detroit-based First Independence Bank, one of the top 10 largest Black-owned banks in the United States. This makes her the only Black woman in the country who owns a bank.

During an interview with Rolling Out, she said that what makes her unique as an African American female leader is her ability to genuinely connect with people and inspire a culture of synergy. “It’s a God given talent that comes naturally,” she said. “People tend to lend the very best of themselves when they feel leaders are passionate about them and their environment.”

Her inspiration

Kiko says that she is greatly inspired by Shirley Chisolm, the first Black congresswoman and the first major party Black candidate to run for president in 1972. She says her favorite quote by Chisolm is, “In the end, anti-Black, anti-female, and all forms of discrimination are equivalent to the same thing: anti-humanism.”

She is also inspired by her late husband, Donald Davis. After his untimely death, she created a foundation in his name to perpetuate his legacy building efforts and initiatives that he envisioned and developed.

How to win

Kiko says that taking risks is very important if you want to become successful. “Without risk,” she says, “there can be no reward… Your mistakes will bring invaluable knowledge that will ultimately become your strategy for winning.”

She also strongly believes in maintaining a positive attitude, and attributes her success to prayer, eating healthy, and exercising.
