Religion must never be used by anyone to oppress or gain unfair advantage'- Buhari


He said this at the 8th edition of the Annual Lagos Thanksgiving Service that held yesterday. Buhari said religion must never be used to divide the nation or be used by anyone to oppress or gain unfair advantage.
"I am honoured to participate in this year's edition of the Lagos Thanksgiving Service. I am glad to know that this year's service has brought together Nigerians of all faiths just to thank and praise the Almighty God for his mercies. This is how it should be. Religion must never be used to divide or oppress others or gain unfair advantage. All my life, I have always held the belief that all Nigerians must be fee to worship God according to their beliefs. The duty of government is not religion, the duty of government is to ensure peace, security of all Nigerians, regardless of tribe, race or religion. And this is a commitment all of us must make in this service" He said

Actress Biola Adebayo reveals how her 2-year romance with London lover ended


Actress Biola Adebayo says she and her ex called off their 2-year engagement due to some personal reasons which had to do with blood related issues.
"Well I had someone who I was engaged to in 2012. We were  not legally married. We were supposed to marry last year but all of a sudden, something happened and the wedding couldn't happen. He is such a great guy that every woman would pray to have. Things just didn't work out because you as a guy, you want to get married to a lady and you just found out that the 2 of you share the same genotype in this modern day? I am not saying that is the exact thing that happened to us but something similar and because of that we let go. We did engagement and people knew about it so how do you expect me to tell them now that the relationship crashed? I don't want such stories and that was why I kept it to myself. Whatever that is not yours, you just have to let go" she told City People in an interview this week
