What's the right age to give your child a phone? I know most of are American parents, but I'm an African parent. I give my daughter a phone last year on her 13th birthday, but an incident happened that is trending on social media that made me question myself if I did the right thing. I control her phone and she doesn't use it during school days since she's in boarding. A15 years old boy groomed a younger girl of 8years into having phone s..e..x. This happened through Snapchat. He told the little girl that if she didn't do what he said, he would go to their house as ghost and hurt her and her mom. The girl tried to tell him that God will punish her for doing such act, but this boy kept on convincing her that it was okay. She is young, but she knows God. Somehow, she agreed to do what he told her and she even sent him photos and he also send her his nudes. I feel sick just writing this. How often do you check your child's phone? Have you taught them about grooming, manipulation, inappropriate messages, strangers online, sexual exploitation, and what to do when someone makes them uncomfortable. And most importantly, we need to teach them that, “If anyone asks you for a sexual picture, threatens you, scares you, or tells you to keep a secret from your parents, come to me immediately. You will not be punished for telling me.” That's how her innocence has been exposed to world, with the incident spreading across media. What a nightmare for the parents! Though I restricted certain apps from daughter's phone, but I'm still terrified when such incidents happen.

I don't like the book cover of second book. I asked @Tony Gaskins if I could change it and he said I could. I don't get a chance to go to a photo studio for professional shoot and even if I did, I would have to veil and dress in Abaya. So, I got these two pics from my gallery and shared it on chatGPT for a cover concept and thank God, It did. It kinda includes a few information of what to find in the book which I like. The fouth image is the current book cover, but it looks dull which I don't like. Which one would you prefer I use?

I woke up excited that it’s Friday! I’ve been looking forward to the weekend since Tuesday. But then I thought…why do we get so excited for Friday? There’s nothing wrong with looking forward to the weekend, but I don’t want to spend five days waiting for two. I want to find something to appreciate and enjoy in every day, not just the weekends. So yes, I’m still happy it’s Friday, but I’m also reminding myself to find reasons to be grateful for Monday through Thursday too—and to enjoy the life I’m living today. Make today a great one! 💜

9/11/2001 started as a normal day. Even though it's been 25 years, I still remember as if it was yesterday. I remember where I was. I remember my thoughts. I remember what I did in the midst of the chaos. The enemy will come like a thief in the night ... But GOD ... 🎶 🎶 🎶 The enemy has been defeated And death couldn't hold You down We're gonna lift our voice in victory We're gonna make Your praises loud 🎶 🎶 🎶
