Why I Don’t Drink or Smoke — Sunshine Rosman

Nollywood actress Sunshine Rosman has candidly shared her no-alcohol and no-smoking stance, explaining why she chooses to remain substance-free. According to Rosman, she doesn’t need cigarettes, liquor, or illicit substances because she already feels a “natural highness” within herself that fuels her energy and zest. Speaking on the Open Up podcast, Rosman recounted how people are often surprised by her vibrant presence and high energy at social gatherings despite her abstinence from drinking or smoking. She said: “People often ask me what I drink after seeing my videos. I don’t drink. I don’t smoke either. But guess what? If we are at a party, I would be more turnt than anybody in that room.” She shared a memorable example: during a film shoot in Enugu, the production team organized a cast-and-crew party. While others assumed she must have had something to drink, she revealed she hadn’t: “Somebody asked me what I drank, I said, ‘Nothing.’ I don’t drink anything. I don’t need anything to influence me. I have all the happiness and highness that I want inside myself. God has given it to me freely. I don’t need to take anything to influence me.” Rosman also reflected on a period when she aimed to sustain herself purely through acting and gigs — yet she felt a recurring emptiness, as though something was missing or incomplete. That introspection led her to the conviction that she didn’t require substances to feel whole or energized. Her stance is a reminder that personal well-being can come from internal resources—purpose, creativity, joy—rather than external stimulants. In an industry where the pressure to conform to nightlife or substance-enhanced social scenes can be strong, Rosman’s decision stands out as intentional and self-affirming. How this aligns with broader lifestyle and wellness insights Why Sunshine Rosman’s message matters Rosman’s transparent sharing of her lifestyle choice resonates for several reasons:

Miss Universe 2025 Director Dismissed After Humiliating Mexico’s Representative: Bosch Incident Explained

A major turning point has struck the world of international beauty pageants: the recently appointed executive director of the Miss Universe 2025 competition, Nawat Itsaragrisil, has been officially dismissed from his role following a highly publicised incident involving the Mexican contestant Fátima Bosch. In a dramatic pre-pageant gathering held in Thailand, Itsaragrisil publicly chastised Bosch — accusing her of failing to post promotional content on social media — and went so far as to label her “dumb”. The confrontation was livestreamed and provoked an immediate backlash among delegates. Bosch described his remarks as “disrespectful and undermining”, and a number of fellow contestants walked out in solidarity with her. The leadership of the pageant responded swiftly. Miss Universe Organization President Raúl Rocha announced via social media that Itsaragrisil’s participation in the competition would be restricted or eliminated entirely, and stated that he would not allow the values of respect and dignity for women to be compromised. Itsaragrisil later issued multiple apologies — including a tearful address at a press conference — claiming he did not intend to harm anyone and citing personal pressure as a contributing factor. This controversy casts light on the intense pressures, high-stakes expectations and potential power-imbalances behind major pageant-stage events. It also serves as a reminder that even global institutions must uphold standards of dignity and fairness for all participants. For readers interested in how the Miss Universe organisation is navigating this crisis and the implications for future editions of the competition, see our related coverage of the overall pageant’s dynamics and controversies. Why this matters What happens next The Miss Universe 2025 pageant is set to take place as scheduled in Thailand on 21 November 2025. The organisation will be under close watch as it manages this fallout and seeks to reassure stakeholders, participants and global audiences of its commitment to integrity, respectful leadership and equal treatment. Organisers have indicated that legal and organisational reviews are underway, and future operational protocols may be adjusted in response to this episode.

Kim Kardashian Fails California Bar Exam Again but Vows to Keep Trying

Kim Kardashian, the world-renowned American media mogul, reality TV star, and the former wife of rapper Kanye West, has once again failed to pass the California Bar Exam. The reality star revealed the news in a heartfelt post shared on her Instagram Story on Saturday after the official exam results were made public. Despite the setback, Kim expressed unwavering determination to achieve her dream of becoming a licensed attorney. She encouraged her followers with a strong message of perseverance, writing, “No giving up, just more studying and determination.” This isn’t the first time Kim Kardashian has spoken openly about her journey toward becoming a lawyer. Over the past few years, she has shared her experiences studying law under the California apprenticeship program, often referred to as the “baby bar” path — an alternative legal route that allows aspiring lawyers to study under the supervision of practicing attorneys instead of attending traditional law school. Kim’s motivation for pursuing a legal career stems from her growing passion for criminal justice reform. She has previously worked with legal experts to help advocate for the release of wrongfully convicted prisoners and individuals serving lengthy sentences for non-violent crimes. Although the recent exam results were disappointing, Kim remains focused on her long-term goal. Her story continues to inspire millions around the world, particularly those who face challenges while pursuing their dreams. In one of her earlier interviews, Kim Kardashian explained that her journey is not about fame but about making a lasting impact through justice reform. Her continued effort demonstrates that failure can be a stepping stone toward greater success — as long as one remains consistent and resilient. Fans and supporters on social media have flooded her comment sections with encouraging words, commending her for her honesty and determination. While many celebrities might shy away from publicizing such personal setbacks, Kim has chosen transparency — turning her experience into motivation for others facing similar struggles. For Kim Kardashian, the California Bar Exam is more than just a legal milestone; it’s a symbol of her dedication to positive change and personal growth. Whether she passes on her next attempt or not, her persistence stands as a testament to the power of perseverance and education.

Rhapsody of Realities November 1st 2025, THE GRACE ADVANTAGE

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2)._ No matter how intelligent you are or how hard you work, there’s a dimension to real success and achievement that transcends natural abilities and efforts. It’s called grace. Grace arranges and orchestrates life’s circumstances in your favour. Grace coordinates how things unfold for you, who comes in and out of your world, when they arrive, and for what purpose. It determines how things connect and align; the people, resources, opportunities etc. When you understand this, you become truly humble, realizing that the race isn’t to the swift, nor is the battle to the strong. Wealth is not to one who’s brilliant, neither is favour to the learned, but time and chance happen to them all (Ecclesiastes 9:11 NIV). The apostles understood this. That’s why Paul, John, and Peter often talked about grace. Read their respective epistles; they often began by saying, “Grace be to you…” (2 Corinthians 1:2). 2 John 1:3, “Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father….” Also, “…Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied” (1 Peter 1:2). They knew what grace could accomplish. Be conscious of the grace of God. Learn to function by grace and multiply the grace of God in your life. How does grace multiply? Peter tells us that it’s through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord (2 Peter 1:2). You can multiply and increase the dimensions and workings of God’s grace in your life by meditating on the Word and putting it to work in your life. Hallelujah! PRAYERDear Father, thank you for the abundance of grace that’s available to me in Christ Jesus. I walk in increased grace, favour and peace, as I grow in the knowledge of your Word. Your grace is actively working in my life, producing supernatural results and aligning all things in my favour. I walk in excellence, fruitfulness and divine success, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. ‭‭Romans 5:17 KJVFor if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) ‭‭2 Corinthians 9:8 KJVAnd God [is] able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all [things], may abound to every good work: DAILY SCRIPTURE READING1-Year Bible Reading PlanHebrews 1 & Jeremiah 34-35 2-Year Bible Reading PlanJohn 9:1-7 & 1 Chronicles 1 DAILY AFFIRMATIONS: My life is filled with the goodness and mercy of God.

I declare that my physical body is vitalized by the power of God’s Spirit, and it is shielded and protected from all evil. I am blessed and lifted above everything that ordinary men suffer. My life is the expression and manifestation of the glory and righteousness of Christ. Therefore, I am superhuman! I have the life of Christ at work in my spirit, soul, and body. No darkness, misery, infirmity, or pain is associated with me because Christ is my life. My sufficiency is of God! The ability of God is working in and through me; that’s the reason I am invincible, ever prosperous, fruitful and productive. Christ dwells in me, and I in Him. I’m inseparably one with Him, a member of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. I’m the vessel through which He manifests His glory and reveals His multifaceted wisdom without limits. My sufficiency is of Him and through Him, I can do all things. I walk in the consciousness of this divine reality today and always. I am the effulgence of God’s glory. The glory of God infuses my being, keeping me strong and well every day. The joy of the Lord is my strength. I have all the things that pertain to life and godliness. All I know and experience is divine health, righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. I am the expression of God’s fullness, grace, and glory. I manifest His kingdom and power. I have put on the nature of righteousness. I have the incorruptible life of God in my spirit. This life energizes every cell of my blood, every bone of my body, and every fiber of my being, such that I radiate life and health always. I have the life of Christ. That life makes me indestructible and impervious to sickness. Everywhere I go, I influence my world with the healing power of God. Because of me, God’s Spirit is manifested in the world. The Lord God is mighty in me. He has blessed me with everlasting life; a life of grace, truth, and agelessness. My life is a life of ever-increasing glory and peace in Jesus’ Mighty Name. Amen. Speak in tongues.

Harry Redknapp Predicts Scoreline for Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea

Former West Ham United and AFC Bournemouth manager, Harry Redknapp, has publicly offered his prediction for the Premier League showdown between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea. The encounter is set to take place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday evening, prompting attention across the football world. In his analysis, Redknapp expects both sides to share the points, forecasting a 2-2 draw in what he anticipates will be an entertaining London derby. He pointed out that Chelsea currently look the stronger of the two sides while acknowledging that Tottenham have the capability to turn up when motivated. His view reflects both the Blues’ uptick in form and Spurs’ inconsistency. Key Factors Highlighted by Redknapp Context of the Rivalry The match adds fuel to a longstanding rivalry between the two London clubs. Historically, Chelsea hold the upper hand in head-to-head results against Tottenham. This season by season variation means that despite the statistical edge, Tottenham cannot be readily dismissed—especially at home. Implications If Redknapp’s prediction holds true, both teams would leave with a point—but perhaps feel somewhat dissatisfied. For Chelsea, a draw may represent a missed opportunity given their stronger form; for Tottenham, earning a draw against a top opponent would be seen as a positive outcome.For viewers and bettors alike, the prediction suggests a match with multiple goals and shared honours—not a tight, low-scoring affair.

The Premier League: “‘System still the same’ Danny Murphy explains why Manchester United are winning matches”

Former Premier League midfielder Danny Murphy has drawn attention to the underlying causes of Manchester United’s recent run of positive results in England’s top flight. According to Murphy, the Old Trafford side appear to have rediscovered a measure of consistency, and he believes the key factor behind their uptick lies not in a wholesale change of personnel, but rather in the stability of their tactical framework and system. Under the direction of manager Rúben Amorim, Manchester United have recorded three wins from three games—a record which suggests that the Portuguese coach may have turned the tide for the club, at least for now. Amorim has brought renewed impetus to a squad that had been searching for identity, and Murphy argues that the underlying system being used is a major reason for the improved outcomes. Murphy’s analysis emphasises that when a club uses a consistent template week after week, players become more familiar with their roles and patterns of play, and this leads to clearer execution. In his view, United’s recent victories have come because the players are internalising the system, showing sharper coordination and fewer tactical hiccups. That said, he cautions that simply winning matches now does not guarantee long‐term success unless the structure remains intact and the club continues to refine its approach. He further points out that while new signings and fresh faces always carry intrigue, the real difference for Manchester United has been that the team is no longer reinventing itself every week: the system has “still the same” shape, but with improved coherence and sharper application on the pitch. In other words, the familiarity of formation, defined roles and a coherent plan have allowed the players to deliver results. However, Murphy also intimates that this positive spell may hinge on the continued stability of the system. Any sudden shifts, dramatic tactical overhauls or disruptions in the setup could undermine the progress made. The message is clear: success is built not only on talent, but on the architecture that supports it. For Manchester United, the fact that the system remains essentially the same—but better executed is the explanation Murphy gives for the recent string of wins.

Arsenal Premier League title race 2025: Tim Sherwood says Gunners have two hands on trophy

The former Tim Sherwood once manager of Aston Villa has delivered a bold verdict in the ongoing Premier League title race: he believes that Arsenal F.C. have virtually secured the championship, saying they now carry the trophy firmly in “two hands”. Sherwood made the remarks during commentary ahead of the Gunners’ upcoming trip to Burnley F.C. on Saturday. In his assessment, Sherwood highlighted that Arsenal’s current consistency, squad depth and tactical cohesion has placed them in such a dominant position that the title is practically theirs. He emphasised that, while other contenders might still mount challenges, the level at which Arsenal are performing suggests the prize is almost out of reach for anyone else. He added that the remaining fixtures weigh in their favour and that the momentum is firmly with them. Sherwood’s confidence underscores how the Gunners have built on earlier seasons of promise and near-misses. Under manager Mikel Arteta, the club have trimmed down their weaknesses, improved their mental resilience, and adopted a level of consistency that few teams manage over the course of a full season. With key players hitting form at the right time and the squad showing flexibility and depth when injuries or suspensions occur, Arsenal appear to possess the all-round attributes needed for a title push. Notably, Sherwood’s remark that Arsenal have “two hands” on the trophy is a strong metaphor — implying not just that they are favourites, but that they control their own destiny. In other words: rather than waiting on others to slip, they themselves hold the reins. For many neutrals and rival supporters, it is a moment of recognition: this season’s title race may already be tilting decisively in Arsenal’s favour. Of course, the road is not completely clear. Burnley and other mid‐table teams still pose obstacles, and the rigours of the final stretch of a title campaign test the mental and physical strength of any squad. Yet, with Sherwood’s endorsement — from a man who has both played and managed in the top tier of English football — the Gunners’ claim to the trophy is being loudly backed. In short: as the Premier League enters its final phase, the narrative appears to favour Arsenal more than ever. The question now is whether any rivals can muster the response needed — or whether Sherwood’s prediction will be vindicated with a title parade red and white.

Rhapsody of Realities October 31st 2025, LIFTING YOUR HANDS TO THE LORD

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice (Psalm 141:2). When people are asked to lift their hands in worship during a church service, some respond mechanically or not at all, often because they haven’t been trained in spiritual things. If they truly understood the spiritual significance of lifting their hands to the Lord, it wouldn’t be a struggle. Years ago, in some meetings, I made an important observation: many of those who were healed had been unable to lift their hands due to pain. This caught my attention, and I asked the Spirit of God why so many people had this problem. He said, “I told them to worship with hands lifted; I instructed that all men pray everywhere lifting up holy hands, but they wouldn’t.” Years later, they found themselves unable to lift their hands without effort or pain. The lesson there was this: had they been worshipping with their hands lifted regularly, as God had instructed, such limitations wouldn’t have developed. But thank God for His grace that brought them healing. Never think that lifting your hands is unnecessary or even embarrassing while you’re praying or worshipping the Lord. It’s an act of faith, spiritual responsiveness, and yieldedness to the Spirit. Even if lifting your hands was a painful effort before you became a Christian, keep practicing lifting them to the Lord in worship. By so doing, you’re acting on the Word. Before long, those same hands will rise higher and higher, effortlessly and without pain. Hebrews 12:12-13 says, “…lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.” Many of God’s children suffer physically, not because something is inherently wrong but because they neglect to do what the Word says, and Satan capitalizes on that. So, learn to act on the Word. Let your spirit train your body in worship. Keep lifting your hands in praise and you’ll experience such glory in your life that you never imagined. PRAYERDear Father, I thank you for the privilege and blessing of worshipping you with my hands lifted in reverence and in love. There’s none like you. You’re great and mighty, the King of all and God of all flesh who alone has immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To you be honour and everlasting power forever. Amen. FURTHER STUDY‭‭Psalm 134:1-2 KJVBehold, bless ye the LORD, all [ye] servants of the LORD, which by night stand in the house of the LORD. 2 Lift up your hands [in] the sanctuary, and bless the LORD. ‭‭Lamentations 3:41 KJVLet us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto God in the heavens. ‭‭1 Timothy 2:8 NIVTherefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing.

Okoye relieved to play football again after betting ban

Udinese Calcio goalkeeper Maduka Okoye has opened up on his return to football after serving a two-month suspension. Our report via LMSINT MEDIA covers his reflections. Okoye was handed a two-month suspension in July for his alleged involvement in a betting scandal. He described the period away from the pitch as difficult, admitting that the enforced time off allowed him to reflect on his career, the importance of professionalism, and the privilege of playing at the highest level.Upon his return, he expressed relief simply to be playing again, emphasising that the ban has made him more appreciative of every minute he spends between the posts. The case began in March 2024 when unusual betting patterns were flagged in relation to a yellow card he received during his club’s match against S.S. Lazio. Although Okoye was cleared of match-fixing allegations, he was found to have breached betting rules and was suspended as a result. TheCable+1 Udinese released a statement stressing that while the club was satisfied that Okoye was not involved in match-fixing, the sanction for betting rule breaches remained. Now back in action, Okoye says his focus is entirely on regaining full match sharpness, proving his value for club and country, and ensuring that this chapter becomes a lesson rather than a defining moment. For the team, his return also signals restored confidence: his presence between the sticks provides reassurance and continuity for the defensive unit, which had missed his experience. Key take-aways

2027: Nigerians Are Fed Up With Recycled Politicians — Time for a Female President, Says Ada Kate Uchegbu

A presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Ada Kate Uchegbu, has voiced her dissatisfaction with the dominance of what she described as “recycled politicians” in Nigeria’s political landscape. In a passionate statement made available to LMSINT MEDIA on Thursday, Uchegbu emphasized that Nigerians are tired of the same old faces in power who have failed to bring meaningful change to the nation. According to the former journalist turned politician, it is time for Nigeria to experience a new phase of leadership — one that reflects inclusivity, transformation, and genuine national progress. Uchegbu stated that the country urgently needs a female president who will not only bring fresh ideas but also lead with empathy, innovation, and accountability. She noted that women in Nigeria have played vital roles across various sectors, yet their political representation remains limited due to systemic barriers and societal biases. Uchegbu urged both the PDP and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to embrace a shift from the recycling of leaders who have overstayed their relevance. “Nigerians are tired of recycled leaders who have done little to move this nation forward. It’s time to allow women to take the lead. The 2027 general election presents the perfect opportunity to change that narrative,” Uchegbu stated. Uchegbu’s declaration comes amid growing calls for gender equality and renewed leadership across Africa. With several nations on the continent already having women serve as presidents or prime ministers, many political observers believe Nigeria is overdue for such a milestone. She further appealed to Nigerians, especially the youth and women, to actively participate in the democratic process and support visionary candidates capable of restoring the nation’s pride. Uchegbu’s ambition signifies a fresh wave of hope for those yearning for leadership that truly represents the people’s aspirations, integrity, and national renewal.
