1 day ago | pulse.ng | Anna Ajayi

Our parents did their best with what they knew, but we know better. Can we all agree that parenting in Nigeria comes with an unspoken rulebook, passed down through generations? Because there's no way you can tell us that they didn't all attend the same prestigious School of African Parenting, complete with standardised threats and guilt trips.
5 unexpected sexual beliefs in the Bible that might surprise you

Sermons aren’t just saving souls anymore, they’re raking in serious cash. Once upon a time, to hear your pastor preach, you had to dress up, grab your Bible, and find your way to church, rain or shine. Fast forward to now, and all you need is data and a decent phone.

For many, religion is a sacred, peaceful space. It's where people go for hope, for healing, for answers. But history has shown us that devotion can sometimes take a darker, more brutal turn. In the name of pleasing gods, purifying the soul, or showing complete submission, some believers have taken their devotion to extreme lengths, practising rituals that would make even the most faithful among us wince. These practices blur the line between spiritual dedication and outright torture.

Politics was never meant to be a get-rich-quick scheme, yet somehow, it’s become just that. Nigerian politics is controversial. Public servants enter office as humble “servants of the people,” but by the time they leave, many have mysteriously amassed the kind of wealth that raises eyebrows and questions. This is a recurring plotline. One we're all familiar with. These supposed leaders treat governance like a personal ATM, withdrawing fortunes at the people’s expense.

Prostate issues affect millions of men worldwide. The prostate is a small gland nestled below the bladder in men, and it plays a crucial role in reproductive health, yet it’s often overlooked until problems arise.

Find hope in God’s word when you need healing. Sickness, pain, and brokenness are part of life, but they don’t have the final say. Whether you’re battling physical illness, emotional wounds, or spiritual weariness, the Bible is filled with God’s promises of healing, restoration, and strength.

1 week ago | pulse.ng | Anna Ajayi

For years, cryptocurrency was a controversial topic in Nigeria. The government’s initial ban in 2021 left many crypto enthusiasts frustrated, but in 2025, the tides turned.
