It’s truly exciting how people can go from childhood friends to lovers, completely oblivious to the beautiful gift life has put in place for the future. In that same light, Odun had no idea that her childhood church member would later become her soulmate. Keep reading to see how. She and Doyin were just kids when it all started. They were casually growing up together within their church community, without knowing that many years later, they would share something much more beautiful. Even after Doyin made a comment on Odun’s birthday that caused a huge rift between them, life still…
At the beginning of every year, everyone brings out the pen and paper to write new goals and resolutions. “This year, I want to do this.” “This year, I want to stop doing this.” “This year, I want to make more money.” Many people like writing them down because writing gives structure, and structure defines the purpose. We are sure 2026 is no different. Many of you have written down those goals, dreams, achievements and things you want to accomplish by December. Just because we’re Nigerians too, and we know you, we know what 2026 resolutions are. So here they…

Lions coach Ivan van Rooyen has praised his side’s leaders for their composure and game management in a thrilling 23-22 win over the Sharks in Durban. The Pride’s victory was secured by replacement scrumhalf’s Haashim Pead’s late burst down the blindside, but for Van Rooyen, the defining chapter came earlier when they were forced to survive 20 minutes with 14 men. Flanker Ruan Venter’s yellow card was upgraded to a 20-minute red early in the second half, threatening to undo the Lions’ strong early work. Instead, Van Rooyen saw a shift that has been building quietly within his squad. “I…
BellaNaija turns 20 this year, and it feels like a good moment to pause, look back, and say thank you. Two decades ago, the platform began with a simple but powerful belief: that African narratives deserved space, attention, and care. What started as a hobby has grown into a destination that many of us return to daily—for news, for culture, and for conversations that feel close to home. Over the years, BellaNaija has documented weddings and wins, music and movies, style moments and social shifts. It has captured joy, change, and ambition, often reflecting the topics Africans were already discussing,…

Parallel existence is a truly fascinating concept. You might be sharing the same spaces with someone, coexisting quietly in each other’s world, completely unaware that fate is weaving a beautiful future for you both. For Jennifer and Nifemi, this situation came alive in their beautiful love story; two people who shared parallel lives, attending the same school without having a single conversation. Years later, their worlds collided, and they met at a mutual friend’s event. They started working together and building a friendship that eventually deepened into a relationship bound by sweet love and devotion. Now the lovebirds have gone the…
Stormers director of rugby John Dobson says the intent behind Project 2029 is about creating a sustainable system capable of winning now and well beyond the decade’s end. Speaking ahead of Saturday’s Vodacom URC north-south derby against the Bulls at Cape Town Stadium, Dobson moved to provide clarity about the project, saying the recent narrative suggesting the Stormers were “only planning to win in 2029” had missed the point. “That’s anything but the truth,” he said. “We want to win on Saturday. We want to win right now. Project 2029 is not about waiting – it’s about building properly so…
