John Legend is Bringing 'Get Lifted' Back to Life (and Glasgow) – Here's Why You NEED to Be There.
Okay, friends, gather 'round, because I have some NEWS that has me absolutely buzzing – and if you're a music lover, you're going to want to hear this! Guess who's bringing his iconic sound back to the stage, celebrating an album that shaped an entire era? None other than the one and only John Legend, and guess what? He's kicking off his "Get Lifted 20th Anniversary World Tour" right here in GLASGOW.
Seriously, when I heard the OVO Hydro is getting the first taste of this tour on May 27th, my jaw dropped. Get Lifted is more than just an album; it's a masterpiece that gave us "Ordinary People," "Used to Love U," and so many other tracks that just hit different. It's the album that introduced us to the EGOT-winning Legend we know and adore today, grabbing three Grammys along the way, including Best New Artist. Twenty years, can you believe it? Time flies when you're making history.
By now, I’m sure most of you are aware of the recently concluded Miss Universe competition. I followed the show closely, and in my opinion, Miss Nigeria, Chidimma Adetshina, truly deserved that crown. She was the clear standout, but of course, the judges made their choice, and she ended up as the first runner-up.
Chidinma answered all her questions with poise and intelligence, and she’s an absolutely stunning woman. I’m not just saying this because she’s Nigerian—I genuinely believe she was the best on that stage.
For those who may not know, Chidinma is a dedicated law student who has faced considerable backlash from some in South Africa due to her mixed heritage. Despite this, Nigeria has embraced her wholeheartedly, and she’s made us incredibly proud.
Congratulations to all the participants. I wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
The internet is buzzing with excitement over the highly anticipated wedding of David 'Davido' Adeleke and his beloved, Chioma.
Today is the wedding day of Nigeria's most popular artist, Davido Adeleke, and his wife, Chioma Rowland. Nigeria is happy for the couple and wishes them a beautiful married life. I couldn't help but share their outfits. Their traditional marriage took place in Lagos, Nigeria, and they looked amazing. Their designers did an incredible job.

Tiwa Savage, a superstar in the Nigerian music industry, had an outstanding performance on May 7 at the royal wedding celebration held at Windsor Castle in honour of King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
She completely wowed the audience with her performance of "Keys to the Kingdom," a song that she and Mr. Eazi had previously recorded and appeared on Beyoncé's album "The Lion King."
Tiwa Savage gave a performance while wearing a Lanre Da Silva-made green dress. She was backed on stage by an orchestra of violinists, drummers, and backup vocalists who sang in the Yoruba language.
Tiwa Savage was not the only internationally renowned musician who performed at the concert; other notable artists that took the stage were Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, Take That, Freya Ridings, Alexis Ffrench, Andrea Bocelli, and Sir Bryn Terfel.

Dua Lipa's Met Gala 2023 features nearly $10 million in diamonds. Dua Lipa has arrived at the Met Gala, and her outfit did not disappoint. Because she was a co-chair, Dua arrived on the red carpet relatively early, wearing a gorgeous cream archival Chanel gown from FW '92 and a massive diamond necklace from Tiffany & Co. worth over $10 million.

Halle Bailey is going to make a big impression at the 2023 Met Gala. The Little Mermaid actress appeared on the carpeted stairs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art wearing stunning white Gucci attire that included a shimmering semi-sheer lace halter-neck gown and a dramatic ruffled cape.
This year, the Met Steps hosted an equal number of charming, dynamic duos. Here is a list of our favourite power couples from the Met Gala 2023, including Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, Idris Alba and Sabrina, Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian (who announced Serena's second pregnancy at this event), Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson, Brittney and Cherelle Griner, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, and more.
Rita Ora, the actress from Fifty Shades of Grey, appeared at the 2023 Met Gala in a witchy and seductive gown that makes us feel terribly October despite the fact that it's May. Ora's Prabal Gurung gown for the evening is sheer and layered.
Madelyn Cline of 'Outer Banks' shines in a sleek Stella McCartney gown at the 2023 Met Gala. Cline, 25, posed in the glossy black gown with silver accents while attending the event at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, May 1.

At the Met Gala, model Anok Yai looks stunning in a Prabal Gurung gown. Anok Yai is turning heads with her stunning ensemble! On Monday evening (May 1), the 25-year-old model walked the red carpet at the 2023 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
The Nigerian singer opted for a stunning dress—Robert Wun's latest distinctive design—for her Met Gala performance, which featured a black corset-like top, a flowing regal white finish at the bottom, and elbow-length gloves.
What was the theme of the Met Gala 2023? The dress code for the Met Gala in 2023 was "in honour of Karl." Andrew Bolton, the Costume Institute's Wendy Yu Chief Curator, examines the work of Karl Lagerfeld (1933–2019) in this exhibition. To honour the late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld, many celebrities donned variations of the two hues for one of the year's most important fashion events.
At the 2023 Met Gala, Yara Shahidi looks ethereal in Jean Paul Gaultier. Yara Shahidi walked the red carpet at the 2023 Met Gala in a stunning bronzed two-piece ensemble, half of which was vintage Jean Paul Gaultier and the other half couture.
She is best known for her role on "Black-ish" as adolescent Zoey Johnson, for which she won an NAACP Image Award, and she is poised to play Tinker Bell in the upcoming Peter Pan spinoff "Peter Pan & Wendy." Her Met Gala ensemble not only exudes fairy-goddess vitality, but it also pays homage to Lagerfeld's 1993 Chanel collection, in keeping with the evening's subject, "Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty'.
Although Jenna Ortega is best known for her role as Wednesday Addams, it appears that the character's distinctive sense of style has also found its way into her real-life wardrobe. Thom Browne created Ortega's high-end Victoriana aesthetic while incorporating some of his personal favourite design cliches. Specifically, the dramatic silhouette of the skirt, which erupted into ruffles that swept behind her along the cream-colored carpet, the waist-cinching lace-up corset that fit the actor like a glove, and the preppy particulars of the knee-high sheer black socks, black and white patent heeled brogues, among others.
Teyana Taylor added some sparkle to her fresh attire for tonight's 2023 Met Gala in New York. Countless A-list celebrities visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art, including the multifaceted superstar. Taylor wore a Thom Browne suit with silver sequins as a tribute to the late Karl Lagerfeld.

“Foundation Of Wisdom” Friday, June 13, 2025
Key Verse
“Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end” (Proverbs 19:20).
Text —Proverbs 19:18-21
Message
According to Isaac Asimov, “The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.” As Bible students, we all know that the fear of the LORD is the foundation of true wisdom because all who obey His commandments will grow in wisdom.
Unfortunately, wisdom seems to be on the wane these days because the present society tends to value that which is trendy, spectacular, and instantaneous and neglect wisdom, which is classic, unpretentious, and unhurried. Moreover, young people are entranced by their youthful audacity rather than the prudence of maturity. Yet, the human society desperately needs wisdom in our spiritual, secular, social, business, career, and academic pursuits. In fact, we all need wisdom each day: in our work, in our families, in our learning, and in our effort to be servants of Jesus Christ. As a young person, you need to know, not only how to do things, but also which of those things are right and will be fruitful. In Psalm 111:10, we are told that true wisdom emanates from the fear of the LORD.
Quote
We all need wisdom each day
Challenge
They who are enticed by the world are not wise.
Prayer for today
O Lord, I do need wisdom, Your wisdom.
