Toolz Shows Off Her Baby Bump... Reveals She Welcomed A Son
Toolz has just shared her 2018 most important ceremony -- revealing she actually welcomed a son. Toolz shared this just as we are about to sign out of 2019 with baby bump photos. She wrote;
For this child I have prayed and You heard my cry.
For this baby I had faith and You gave new life'... This time last year, I posted my most vulnerable and honest post to date after my miscarriage.
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES!! This time last year, I would often cry myself to sleep thinking about the baby we lost, but now I can't sleep because I can't stop staring at the most precious gift God has given me this year....MY SON.❤❤❤
I look at my little prince and I am in complete awe! I still can't believe I'm a mummy.
I can't wait to teach him everything I know and learn so much from him too.
I can't wait to show him how much every inch of me loves him.
I also can't wait to "Patience Ozokwor" his future girlfriends 😁😁 The biggest lesson I learnt this year is to NEVER...EVER GIVE UP ON GOD.
Since last year, we prayed, fasted and prayed some more for God to bless us with a healthy baby in 2018. Towards the end of the first quarter, I started to think that our prayers wouldn't be answered in 2018. I stupidly got impatient and frustrated with God.
One day in April, Captain came home and found me in bed crying my eyes out because I thought we wouldn't have a child in 2018. Little did I know that as I was crying and getting upset and frustrated with God, I was actually already pregnant.
While I was being weak and doubting Him, He had already answered our prayers!
For our family, friends and every single one of you that remembered us in prayer....Thank you so very much. May God overwhelm you with incredible blessings this coming year.
For women dealing with the loss of a child like I did last year, know that the story doesn't end there. God has already completed your testimony, and I pray that you (just like me) will be celebrating sooner rather than later.
For anyone waiting on God to answer their prayers, please remember that God's delay isn't His denial.
Thank you Heavenly Father for always showing that you've got me!
Lots of love and Happy Amazing 2019 from Toolz, Captain and Chairman 👶🏾 #GodsGotMe #TreeOfUs #Testimony #We2019Ready

Mayweather Floors Japan's Tenshin Nasukawa In Just Two Minutes
In a mismatched contest, Mayweather floored Nasukawa, a kickboxer less than half his age, three times in the first round of the three-round contest before the Japanese fighter's trainer rushed in to stop the fight.
"Money" Mayweather has hinted on social media he was pocketing US$9 million for the fight, meaning he earned around US$4.5 million per minute for the spectacle.
The American boxer at first appeared not to be taking the fight seriously, grinning at his opponent and aiming only soft punches at him.
But he then demonstrated his power, launching a series of jabs and hooks to the head of the 20-year-old Japanese fighter, sending him to the canvas after just one minute with a left hook.
Sensing his opponent was struggling, Mayweather stepped in for the kill, unleashing a flurry of punches that left Nasukawa reeling again within just two minutes of the bout and facing his second standing count after a huge right hook to the head.
With the Japanese fighter clearly battling to stay on his feet, the trainer rushed in and stopped the fight with less than one minute of the first round remaining.
"It was all about entertainment. We had fun," Mayweather said in the ring after the event.
"I'm still retired. I don't look forward to coming back to boxing but I did this just to entertain the fans in Japan," added the 41-year-old.
US Embassy, Consulate In Nigeria Shutdown Indefinitely
This implies that persons who have applied for tourist, study, business visas, immigrant visas or any other travel document will have to cancel their plans.
The US embassy in Nigeria said in a Facebook post that the development was caused by the government shutdown in the US.
The statement read, “Due to the current US government shutdown, the American centres located in the embassy, Abuja and Consulate-General, Lagos are unfortunately closed. They will re-open once the US government shutdown is resolved. Sorry for any inconvenience to our valued patrons.”
The executive arm of government led by President Donald Trump and the legislative arm have been at loggerheads for nearly two months over Trump’s attempt to build a wall along the Mexican border.
Adekunle Gold Celebrates Dad As Ambode Appoint Him As Permanent Secretary For Education In Lagos
He wrote;
I CRIED TODAY
Growing up, I watched my dad worked so hard for too little. Teachers weren’t big earners. But my dad, with the help of my mum, provided everything all 4 of us needed - maybe not wanted, but definitely needed.
I remember when my dad went to Uniben for his first degree. My sisters and I were very young, and communication with him was pretty much impossible, because it was before the era of cellphones. We only saw him when he had school breaks.
He finished as the best in his class with a distinction in Fine Arts, Painting & Graphics Major. He was part of the team that co-wrote the module for teachers at one time. Everyday, after his primary assignment as a Fine Arts teacher in Keke High School, he would go to Teachers’ College to teach other teachers.
He was willing to do whatever it would take to make extra money to fend for us and build a house for us to live in. I almost forgot - he is a published writer. Brilliant Man!
My dad didn’t literally sit me down to teach me great values and diligence. Luckily, he didn’t have to, because I saw it in him everyday.
He has given so much of himself, and truly values the opportunity to be serving the government and every school he’s worked at as either teacher, VP or principal. He’s won about 30 awards for his selfless service to the state.My Dad. A Man!
A man that refuses to cut corners, believes in hard work and is known for his integrity. He always said to me; “Your name is precious, you must protect it!”
Hard as it might be to believe, I can honestly say I’ve never seen him disobey traffic rules or give bribe.
When other principals allowed people use their schools for special centres,
my dad said no. He said - “I have been in service for far too long to let quick money ruin my reputation.” His dream has always been to become a Permanent Secretary of Lagos state. It was his dream, it was also mine for him.
In this moment, this 56 year old brilliant man’s dream is now his reality. Today, I sat in the audience, and I listened as they read out loud, his achievements. I watched as he was sworn in as a Tutor General/Permanent Secretary for Education.
So I cried today, but they were happy tears.

Man Buys Entire Family DNA Tests For Christmas - And There Are Some Shocking Results
From homemade items that didn't quite go to plan, to last minute gifts purchased on the way over, we thought we'd seen it all.
But one man has raised the bar for unusual presents by purchasing DNA testing kits for his entire family - and the bemusing item almost ruined Christmas for everyone.
The unnamed son revealed all in a post online, which has had thousands of views.
Taking to Reddit, the man starts his story by revealing that earlier in the year AncestryDNA had a sale on their kit and for some reason he thought it would be a great gift, so he bought six of them - one for himself, his mum, his dad, brother and two sisters.
However when it came time to open presents on December 25, the kits didn't exactly garner the reaction he'd been hoping for.
He wrote: "As soon as everyone opened their gift, my mom started freaking out. She told us she didn't want us taking them because they had unsafe chemicals. We explained to her how there were actually no chemicals, but we could tell she was still flustered.
"Later she started trying to convince us that only one of us kids need to take it since we will all have the same results and to resell extra kits to save money."
The children were still keen to give the tests a go which caused an argument to break out between the parents.
According to the post, the pair went upstairs and argued for about an hour, leaving the four kids to wonder what exactly was going on.
At this point, the man truly thought he'd "f***** up" and ruined the family Christmas.
But then things took a surprising turn.
His parents eventually came back down and shared some shocking news with them all - one of them had a different dad.
He explained: "Turns out my sister's father passed away shortly after she was born. A good friend of my mom's was able to help her through the darkest time in her life, and they went on to fall in love and create the rest of our family.
"They never told us because of how hard it was for my mom."
The parents went on to share stories and photos for the first time and the son claims the experience brought them "even closer together as a family".
He added: "This is a Christmas we will never forget. And yes, we are all excited to get out test results. Merry Christmas everyone!"
More than 9,000 people have taken the time to comment on his post, with many sharing their own unusual family stories.
One person wrote: "I was adopted by my grandparents and didn't know until I was older. The person I grew up with as an older sister was actually my biological mother."
Another said: "My friend discovered through AncestryDNA that her grandpa wasn't actually her grandpa. Her actual grandpa was one of her grandparents' neighbours."
A third added: "I work at AncestryDNA. This actually happens all the time."
Psychic Reveals His Predictions For 2019, Including A Royal Baby Girl
Nicolas Aujula, 33, has predicted an action packed 2019 and also reckons Taylor Swift will get engaged and Philip Hammond will launch a leadership bid.
Nicolas says he has successfully predicted major events ranging from the Syrian conflict to the winner of The Apprentice.
He claims that since his childhood he has been able to sense spirits and see things before they happen, usually through visionary dreams.
Also working as a past life regression therapist, hypnotherapist and psychic astrologer, south Londoner Nicolas has made a number of predictions for the New Year.
He said: “A lot of people have been asking me if Theresa May will stay in power. I don’t follow politics very closely myself, but one name that keeps coming to me is Philip Hammond.
“I don’t know if he’ll come to power himself or just try to, but he’s definitely one to keep an eye on.”
Explaining that it is hard to pinpoint exact dates for his astonishing visions, Nicolas admits that sometimes it is only in hindsight that he can interpret what they meant.
He continued: “I’ll say these predictions are for 2019 and beyond, as some may not necessarily happen next year, but perhaps further in the future.
“The interpretation is just as important as the vision itself. Sometimes, words or images will come to me and I won’t be able to make sense of them until something has happened that makes me look back and realise what I was told.”
Nicolas' top psychic predictions for 2019
• The Royal Baby will be a girl
• Taylor Swift will announce her engagement
• Nicole Kidman will become pregnant
• Sunderland football club will move up a league
• Philip Hammond may launch a leadership bid
My 2018 Was Tough, I Cried Openly In Public Alot- Damilola Adegbite
''I thought to share my biggest testimony of 2018 with someone somewhere who has lost hope.
I was fighting a serious battle for over a year. A battle I knew I could never ever have won by power nor by might. So instead, I decided to pray HARD about it. Oh dear, I disturbed God on this matter. I would sing, dance, cry, praise,worship; day and night.
A whole year passed and nothing happened. But I refused to give up.
On the 17th of May (a day before my birthday), I went to a mid week service. I dragged myself to church that day. I was overwhelmed. I had no strength left in me. My head kept telling me to give up, but my heart and spirit said NO
There was an altar call in church that day for people who desperately needed God to show up for them. I joined about a hundred other people. I tried to control my emotions. A few tears escaped and I would quickly wipe them away but at some point, I let go. I showed my father, how much pain I was in. For those few minutes, I couldn’t care less which blogger, friend or foe was watching. Damilola Adegbite?! Crying like a baby in church? Me I was ready for the jist to be everywhere by the next day, but I was even more ready to risk it all for a breakthrough. Little did I know, that my day had come.
After the prayers, we got up. My face was a mess so I bent my head and was walking back to my seat. I had taken a few steps when someone touched my shoulder so gently. I turned around and it was my pastor’s wife. Prior to this, I had NEVER met her. She looked at me so kindly and pulled me into her arms, right there in front of the whole church. That was it, I burst into tears like a baby. Before I could even figure out what was happening, I was taken into the pastor’s office and asked to wait to see my pastor and his wife after service. Small me!! To cut the long story short, hmmm, words can never explain. God gave me a MASSIVE ARMY. Spiritual, financial, emotional, every arsenal that I could ever need to fight and win this battle.
Here’s to you my friend. Keep pushing! Don’t loose hope! Refuse to be intimidated! If your hopes and dreams didn’t manifest in 2018, DO NOT GIVE UP! Your time is almost here. Keep holding on ️''
Prince Philip Becomes First Person In The UK To Grow Rare Delicacy After 12 Years Of Trying
The Royal has finally achieved his ambition of growing the delicacy at Sandringham after more than a decade of perseverance.
The gastronomic treats have been harvested from Philip's organic 'truffiere' plantation on the Queen's estate in Norfolk where he is spending much of his time during his retirement.
The 97-year-old is believed to have been sharing the delicacies, which have a market price of around £600 a kilogramme, with other members of the Royal Family to savour at meal times.
But some of his prized crop is thought to have found its way to the visitor cafe at Sandringham which has been serving a seasonal £7.95 starter of Sandringham game and Norfolk truffle terrine with pickled vegetables.
Philip spent £5,000 on buying special truffle-impregnated trees in 2006 after being told that the alkaline soil at Sandringham was an ideal environment for them.
He had the 300 oak and hazel saplings planted on a one acre plot beside the Royal fruit farm on the estate, which also produces blackberries for Ribena.
It was revealed in 2009 that two Italian hounds, specially trained to sniff out truffles, had failed to find any in the root systems of the trees.
But Philip who started overseeing the estate after marrying the Queen, carried on regardless and his patience has finally been rewarded in recent years.
Adrian Cole, a director of Truffle UK, which supplied the saplings to Sandringham, said: "They have been highly successful."

Man (53) ‘Rapes’ Four-Year-Old Girl
The man, a Pumula South suburb resident allegedly r*ped the minor twice in his bedroom.
The man who cannot be named to protect the identity of the minor allegedly grabbed the girl while she was playing outside his house and took her inside before raping her.

Lion Kills Intern At US Wildlife Park
Alexandra Black, 22, was passionate about wildlife and had worked just 10 days as in intern at the facility in Burlington, North Carolina.
“The Conservators Center is devastated by the loss of a human life today,” it said in a statement.
“While a husbandry team led by a professionally trained animal keeper was carrying out a routine enclosure cleaning, one of the lions somehow left a locked space and entered the space the humans were in and quickly killed one person.
“It is unclear at this time how the lion left the locked enclosure. At no time did the lion ever enter a space that was not enclosed by the park’s perimeter fence,” the statement added, expressing its condolences to Black’s family and announcing it would close temporarily.
The lion was killed so Black could be retrieved, the center said.
