At the time when famous social media influencer, Aunty Adunni, moved from Nigeria to the United States, she probably didn’t expect she would ever add ‘relationship expert’ to her resume. But now, thanks to Facebook. Lady Adunni, with her ‘Real Talk With Aunty Adunni Live’, has stepped into the role of a celebrity speaker on social media, having no prior experience other than the opportunity she had had as an independent career woman, counseling families and fixing shaky relationships. It was a strange terrain when she started, she confessed during this interview, but one that she had no choice than taking seriously and in which she soon became a star. 
A widow and mother of three beautiful children, Aunty Adunni who remarried barely three months ago, shared her journey through life; the thorns and roses, and more. Excerpts…
 


I Love Encouraging People To Be A Better Version of Themselves
-US based celebrity blogger, Aunty Adunni
 
Tell us your experience airing the first show on social media.
I had anxiety doing my first live show on social media and I remember I had to write my points down before going on air.
At what point did you move abroad and what were the circumstances that encouraged you to relocate?
I moved abroad at a point in my life when I wasn’t fully prepared and ready for it. But today I have no regrets. The circumstances are private.
There are show hosts who run gossips or random social topics. What is the focus of your own show?
⁠The focus of my show is largely and mainly about the entity of the family; the mother, father and, most importantly, the children, who are our future.
You are focused mostly on relationships; do you do that based on personal experience or it is just a thing you had decided to do from the inception?
I never set out to be in the public, but my personal experience and experience of many other people that I have had to counsel at a point in life, motivated me to do it. It’s a kind of therapy for me. I love encouraging people and love to see people happy.
Tell us about yourself; nationality, state, family, educational background and how your show name, Aunty Adunni, came about.
I am a wife and a mother. I was born, raised and schooled in Nigeria. I came from a polygamous family. I am from Oyo State but I was born and raised in Lagos State. Adunni happens to be my oriki, I added Aunty to it so the younger ones will see me as a big aunty they can confide in if need be. I have counseled quite a number of them who see me as big sister.
Watching you and your husband coming on the show is fantastic and real; tell us about your relationship.
I met my husband who I will simply address as Sir K, on Facebook, I didn’t take him serious when he approached me, but he made it clear that he wanted marriage from the onset. I tried to run but his charms were too strong to resist (laughs). To the glory of God, we got married in October 2023. I was a widow and he was a divorcee then.
You are a professional in other field, tell us about it; and what inspired you to start blogging?
I am actually a business owner, and like I said earlier, I love encouraging people and that motivated me to be a speaker on social media. if you watch most of my videos, they are all about people striving to being a better version of themselves.
You seem to have made great success of what you do, share with us some of your achievements so far.
My greatest achievements is being able to take care of my three children as widow, giving them quality education and also bringing them into USA as legal residents. My focus has been to see them have better life than me and this I see as the greatest and most fulfilling task of my life.
What is the greatest lesson life has taught you?
Hmmmm! life has taught me that life will not be what we want it to be most times.
What is your fashion routine like?
I don’t really have a fashion routine, weather in USA dictates what I wear. But I stick to African wears a lot during summer.
How do you give back to society in terms of philanthropy?
I do give cash regularly on my page. The last one I did, some people got as much as N40,000 each. I also help widows. I along with two others, have had to contribute over a million Naira to print note books to give to students in Nigeria as well.
If you could go anywhere else for vacation outside your current base with your family, where would that be?
That would be Bahamas.
What is your honest advice for young women about life and relationship?
I will advice them to be mindful of how they live and enjoy life because life has a way of coming back to either hunt you or face you. My question is, if your life is played back for you, will you be proud of yourself? Also, I  will tell them to make sure they add value to their lives by doing legitimate things to earn money. About relationship; I would say, don’t be in relationship because you need money.

Liberian Leaders, Citizens Bear Witness as Apostle Suleman Hosts Two-Day Power-Packed Crusade

 

It was testimonies galore on Tuesday, March 31, the first day of the famous servant of God and founder of the Omega Fire Ministries (OFM) worldwide, Apostle Johnson Suleman’s power-packed two-day crusade. The event documented impactful moments with the Gospel and miracles, emphasizing the power of faith and the tangible confirmation of God’s Word through signs and wonders. It was equally an atmosphere of miraculous healing, restoration of lives, and the strengthening of faith.

 

At the crusade, which was held at the SKD Sports Stadium in Paynesville City, and themed, “Liberia Outpouring Crusade” witnessed testimonies of impact and miracles with participants experiencing instant healing of various kinds of challenges.

 

Apostle Suleman’s first port of call was Paynesville, the office of Liberian government’s president, Mr. Joseph Nyuma Boakai, who received him in an audience with his junior ministers. Apostle Suleman, who also met with the vice-president, Mr. Jeremiah Kpan Koung, was welcomed by the Liberian leader’s office as part of the president’s ongoing engagements with religious leaders aimed at fostering spiritual support for national development.

 

The president expressed profound appreciation to Apostle Suleman for the visit and continued prayers and intercessions by men and women of God on behalf of Liberia, emphasizing his firm belief that sustained spiritual guidance and prayer remain vital to the transformation and progress of the nation.

 

During the visit, Apostle Suleman offered prayers for President Boakai, his cabinet and the Liberian nation, invoking divine alignment, wisdom, and insight in Liberia’s path toward growth and stability. He prayed that the Almighty God would position Liberia for relevance and fulfillment of its national destiny.

 

Apostle Johnson Suleman, an evangelist who knows no bounds of where preaching the gospel comes to a stop, visited Liberia prepared with the message, compelling power of the Gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit, and bringing people to a point of decision where they surrendered their lives to Christ.

 

Aside from being prophetic and timely, OFM sources disclosed that the servant of God’s visit underscores the importance of faith-based partnerships in supporting governance and national renewal efforts.

Middle Belt Forum Hails Tinubu’s Jos Visit, Calls for United Civil-Military Effort to Restore Lasting Peace

*Middle Belt Forum Hails Tinubu’s Jos Visit, Calls for United Civil-Military Effort to Restore Lasting Peace

 

The Middle Belt Peace Forum (MBPF) has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for his profound demonstration of empathy and responsive leadership following his decision to postpone an official engagement in Iperu in order to visit victims of the recent attacks in Jos.

In a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Pastor Bulus Garba, in Jos on Friday, the Forum said the President’s decision to personally identify with grieving communities sends a powerful message of solidarity and reinforces public confidence in the commitment of the Federal Government to the protection of lives and property.

“The Middle Belt Peace Forum warmly commends President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for prioritising compassion over ceremony. At a time of deep sorrow for the people of Plateau State, his decision to visit Jos stands as a mark of true leadership—one that listens, responds, and stands with the people in their moment of pain,” the statement read.

The Forum described the perpetrators of the recent attacks as “cowards who prey on innocent and defenceless citizens,” stressing that such acts of violence are not only inhumane but also a direct assault on the unity and peace of the nation.

“We condemn in the strongest terms the actions of these cowardly attackers whose only aim is to instil fear and destabilise peaceful communities. Their actions must be met with firm and decisive resistance from all arms of the state,” Pastor Garba said.

The MBPF further used the opportunity to salute the courage, gallantry, and sacrifices of the Armed Forces of Nigeria under the leadership of the Chief of Defence Staff, General Olufemi Oluyede, noting that their continued efforts remain central to restoring stability across troubled parts of the country.

According to the Forum, the Armed Forces have demonstrated resilience and professionalism in the face of complex security challenges, often operating under difficult conditions to safeguard communities and defend Nigeria’s territorial integrity.

“We salute the Armed Forces of Nigeria for their unwavering commitment and sacrifices. Their gallantry in confronting criminal elements and reclaiming territories is a testament to their dedication to national service. We recognise that the path to peace is demanding, and we honour those who stand daily in defence of our nation,” the statement added.

The Forum pledged its full support to ongoing military operations and called for strengthened collaboration between security agencies and local communities as a critical factor in achieving lasting peace.

It also urged citizens across the Middle Belt to cooperate with security forces by providing timely information and fostering unity within their communities.

The MBPF, however, expressed concern over the need for greater synergy among security agencies, particularly the role of the Nigeria Police in consolidating gains made by the military.

“We call on the Nigeria Police Force to rise fully to its constitutional responsibility by effectively supporting the Armed Forces in stabilising and securing areas that have been cleared of criminal elements. Holding and policing such territories is essential to preventing a resurgence of violence,” Pastor Garba stated.

The Forum emphasised that sustainable peace requires a coordinated approach in which the military clears and secures areas, while the police maintain law and order to enable displaced communities to return and rebuild their lives.

The MBPF concluded by reiterating its commitment to peacebuilding efforts across the Middle Belt and expressed optimism that with sustained leadership, coordinated security efforts, and active citizen participation, lasting peace can be achieved.

“Together, through unity, vigilance, and collective resolve, we can overcome these challenges and build a safer and more peaceful Middle Belt,” the statement added.

Governor Dauda Lawal Wins Face of Africa Governor of the Year Award in London

 

Governor Dauda Lawal has been honored with the Outstanding Governor of the Year award by Triangle Media International Magazine.

 

The award was presented during the magazine’s 10th annual lecture and award ceremony, held on Thursday at the Grand Hall of King’s College, London, United Kingdom.

 

According to a statement by the governor’s spokesperson, Sulaiman Bala Idris, the awards recognize public and private sector leaders whose leadership positively impacts governance and service delivery.

 

He added that the lecture, themed “Harnessing the Roles of Nigerians in Diaspora for National Development,” brought together stakeholders from both the public and private sectors.

 

The statement read in part: “Yesterday, in London, Governor Dauda Lawal received the 2026 Face of Africa Leadership Award for Outstanding Governor of the Year.

 

“The 2026 edition coincides with the 10th anniversary of Triangle International Magazine, which has over the years celebrated notable Africans across diverse fields.

 

“The award recognizes the Zamfara State Government under Governor Lawal’s leadership for achieving remarkable milestones in service delivery since his inauguration on 29 May 2023.

 

“The board of Triangle International noted that, despite inheriting an empty treasury, Governor Dauda Lawal has remained true to the Rescue Agenda’s campaign promise: to rescue and rebuild Zamfara.

 

“The award also reflects the state government’s innovative approach to indirectly curbing insecurity through educational advancement, demonstrated by the declaration of a state of emergency in the education sector.

 

“This includes the state government’s swift payment of the outstanding N3.4 billion for WAEC and NECO examinations, as well as the reconstruction and rehabilitation of schools across all 14 Local Government Areas of Zamfara State.

 

“The international magazine finds these initiatives to be strategic interventions toward long-term efforts to make Zamfara State better.”
