Media personality & OAP Tolu Oniru-Demuren aka Toolz, took a trip down memory lane and reflected on her 2017. She had a few things to say about 2017 on her Instagram page.

She wrote:

2017 has been the toughest year of my life so far. Without a doubt, it broke me. I spent way too much time in hospital, and I hate hospitals. I went through way more than I thought I could ever handle, and there were times when I was in so much physical and emotional pain that I wanted to give up.
This year has taught me that EVERYONE will go through some type of adversity…we will all face things that will potentially break us. You can and should pray against it, but ultimately we must also remember to pray for the strength to get through what life will inevitably throw at us.

God never promised us a perfect life, but in Isaiah 43: 2-3 it says “When you go through deep waters and great trouble I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty you will not drown…. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel..your Saviour”. 2017 broke me, but I’m grateful for the grace of God that put me back together again. I am eternally grateful for the special people He placed in my life that helped put me back together.
My circle got a little smaller, but like someone told me a few months ago, every now and then God gives you the opportunity to spring clean your friendship closet…and that’s a good thing.

2017 was my year of INTENSE TRAINING and GROWTH. I’m still healing, but I feel FEARLESS.
Through great adversity comes strength and opportunity. If you had a difficult 2017, take comfort in the fact that you are still here…alive and able to experience another day. You may have been knocked down, but you are still here so YOU WON.
I’m excited for what 2018 holds. By the grace of God I will be launching a project that I finally got the courage to finish.

2018 is about to be a VICTORIOUS Year…and I’m so READY for it.🙌🙌 #GRATEFUL #STRENGTH #THANKSGIVING#BRINGON2018💪#GodsGotMeALWAYS

Nollywood actress, Damilola Adegbite, whose 2-year-old marriage to Ghanaian actor, Chris Attoh packed up this year with the latter confirming their separation in an interview, took to Instagram to indirectly address the divorce saga as she reflected on the year.

Damilola who said her trust was betrayed this year, wrote;

“2017 was a tough year for me. One of the toughest of my life. My trust was betrayed in heart breaking ways and I had to go through some very painful overwhelming changes. But in all this, I am eternally grateful because who I am became crystal clear to me. Most importantly, I became more convinced that there is a higher power ( call it nature, karma, the universe.. I choose “GOD”). A GOD who listens when called on and who fights for the patient and selfless. He gave me some things I thought I really really wanted, to prove to me that there is nothing impossible for him to do, but he took them away again, this time by force, because sometimes, what we want is not necessarily good for us. It’s an uncomfortable process, like a child being weaned, but it signifies growth and advancement. I can’t deny that my scars are still healing, and I’m still a little dizzy from trying to adjust ?but ultimately, I am thankful for the opportunity to have been handed an almost brand new slate and for the courage to accept it.

Olayode Juliana who was famous for her role as Toyo Baby in Funke Akindele’s Jenifa series, recently granted an interview with The Nation where she spoke on her firm belief against sex before marriage. According to Juliana, sex before marriage leads to cheating when people eventually become married as they start comparing their partners sexual prowess with that of the people they had sex with before marriage.

Read excerpts of her interview below

Do you believe that sex before marriage makes relationships more complicated?

Yes I do. Sex before marriage makes relationship more complicated. Some ladies date more than five men before marriage and sleep with all of them because they see it as a norm or a way to prove their love against God’s standard. I personally believe that there is a lot to sex than the pleasure it gives. It makes you become one with the person. It ties you with the person, such that when you marry you compare your previous sexual life with your present and the memories of how you did it with the other person won’t leave you, expecting more from your husband or wife, forgetting that we are all not the same and our sexual lives can’t be the same as well.

That’s what leads to cheating in marriage. Some men or women can’t imagine been faithful to just one person because they’ve done it with several people in their past or before marriage so it’s difficult. Research has it and I learnt that if you had sex with a particular person if you meet the person years after and you’re alone or whatever, it is very possible that you will do it again.

You are really a strong advocate on ‘no sex before marriage?

Sex is good, don’t get me wrong, I mean God created it and everything He made is good and beautiful but sex before marriage is what makes it bad and wrong and sex with anyone else apart from your husband or wife in marriage is bad as well.

Former Big Brother Nigeria housemate Gifty Powers made her mom her woman crush Wednesday yesterday and shares an emotional story of how her mom singlehandedly raise her and her sibblings.

She wrote:

“If I’m permitted to celebrate one special person over and over again for the rest of my life, it will be none other person but my MOM.

I remember a week after my step dad passed away, my mom was given 2 options(hand over all properties or we give my 2 step siblings to them), all my mom could say was “9months is never 9days”..
few days later my mom handed all properties to them and as little as we all were,we had to start life all over again through the scorching sun; the road was rough but hey we made it through. 

This woman has laid her life for us in so many ways that till now i wonder “Why would she”, she’s been the kind of bestfriend that I’ve always wished for since as a little girl, she’s been the reason why i kept holding on strong for so many things happening life, she’s one person that has taught me that “In Life if you listen to the noise in the market,you won’t buy what you wanna buy”.
She lost my Father (my dad) when i was a year old, still lost my step dad when my step kid brother was 4years old, got abandoned by family members who saw they were not gaining(money) from us like they used too & above all these, she still held perfectly strong & said “no obstacles will hold me down, life goes on”. 
In as much as I’ve been dragging + pleading with her to MARRY AGAIN but no avail, all she keep saying is “i don’t need any man in my life,my kids are enough for me”.
I can swear that in my life, i have done some horrible stuffs that I’m not proud off of which i know a mother shouldn’t forgive her child, yet without any hesitation my mom will cover me up in public no matter what and scold me behind closed doors. 
Well, I don’t care if I write too much based on my Mom because it is my page and I’m proud of writing these down. My mom is my weak point,you do her wrong then you’ve gotten to me + at he end you will see the BEAST sidbelowme.

But one thing i will always say is One Love To All The Widows All Over The World, i know it’s not easy taking care of kids but trust me, if there is one thing one should be grateful for, it is LIFE.. not everyone is opportuned to Live in this Life.
