Wizkid’sbaby mama, Jada Pollockhas sparked conversation online after reacting to a post by an American rapperCoi Lerayon X (Twitter), where she described side relationships as destructive.
Quoting the post, she shared her thoughts on what she described as a troubling trend among women, expressing concern over the growing acceptance of being involved as a ‘side chick’.
She stated that such situations are often rooted in unresolved emotional trauma and self-deception.
According to her, remaining in that position may seem acceptable at first, but emotional attachment and deeper feelings eventually make it unsustainable.
She emphasized that no one can truly be comfortable in such arrangements over time.
In her words, “It’s disheartening to see so many women in our generation feeling that it’s acceptable to be in that state. There’s so much inner trauma that needs healing. No one can truly be okay with it over time—emotions and feelings run deep. It’s time to stop deceiving yourself!!!”
Her comments quickly gained traction on social media, drawing mixed reactions from users. While some agreed with her perspective and praised her honesty, others debated her views on relationships and personal choice.
Below are some of the comments;
“Right message from quite a wrong messenger. Don’t know if I’m right.”
“Wait… Side piece, as in intentional, or the man is just playing her and she doesn’t know?”
“For real, if you’re in that clique, just stop. There’s a man for every woman, so why not find yours and build your paradise instead of destroying others, or are you an agent of destruction of beautiful things, lol.”

A newly wed couple holds each other in the late afternoon...
A post circulating on X (Twitter) has ignited debates after a man shared his reaction to the marriage of his former employer’s widow just months after the businessman’s death.
According to the post, the deceased man, described as wealthy and influential, was buried approximately six months ago.
The writer expressed surprise that the widow has since remarried, noting that she has three children from her late husband: a son who has completed his university degree and two daughters still in higher education.
The post questions the motivation behind the remarriage, emphasizing the family’s financial stability and suggesting that the decision raises concerns, though no evidence of wrongdoing was provided.
The writer also claimed that the late businessman’s family declined to accept a refund of the bride price reportedly offered by the new husband, a gesture that has further fueled public debate online.
The post concluded with a broader reflection. Framing the situation as an example of life’s perceived unfairness and urging men to prioritize their health and well-being.
Below are some of the posts;
“The woman tried and stay unto 6 months so respect her, my landlord the woman his married now came on the day of the wife’s burial and never left as am talking to you they are married it was not up to 2 months and he’s living his life to the fullness.”
“Are you kidding me? Almost every man I know whose wife died remarried. Tf is wrong with y’all?”
“Men can remarry 6 month after, there’s nothing suspicious but if a woman remarried, suspicion arrives. Una weldone. If she goes on sexing a man without marrying them, una go still talk. The man is rich? So, a family’s wealth only belongs to the man? Please my brother, people should leave married couples alone.”
Fragrance entrepreneur Ori Leslau has always believed that scent is inseparable from identity. Long before founding Riggs London and Confetti London, he understood fragrance as a carrier of memory, emotion, and self-expression.
Growing up in London, Leslau’s earliest associations with scent were deeply personal, the eucalyptus fragrance in his grandmother’s living room, his grandfather’s aftershave, his parents’ signature perfumes. Even strangers left impressions through scent alone.
“Every fragrance told a story about the person wearing it,” he says.
That understanding became the foundation for Riggs London and Confetti London, two brands created to make fragrance expressive, accessible, and culturally relevant. While rooted in a modern British aesthetic, both brands were designed to resonate globally, premium in feel, but approachable in price and attitude.
Leslau’s connection to Nigeria began with his first visit to Lagos.
“From the moment I arrived, I felt the energy of the city,” he recalls. “It was vibrant, fast-moving, and full of confidence. It immediately felt like a place where these brands could belong.”
Nigeria would soon emerge as one of the brands’ strongest markets in West Africa. Entering the region, however, required more than exporting product. Leslau notes that success depended on understanding consumer behaviour, adapting marketing language, stabilising supply chains, and ensuring wide distribution, challenges navigated with the support of local partner Bivon Ventures.
Under the leadership of Madam Bibiana Okeke, Bivon Ventures secured exclusive distribution rights for the brands in Nigeria, and West Africa. Leslau credits the partnership with enabling rapid market penetration and local relevance.
“Nigeria’s consumers are deeply engaged with fragrance,” he says. “There is a willingness to experiment and a strong belief in scent as part of everyday self-care.”
That insight has shaped the brands’ product strategy. Fragrances are developed with specific market preferences in mind, combining popular notes with bold packaging and distinct British branding. Riggs London presents a confident, refined identity, while Confetti London leans youthful and expressive. Both, however, share a focus on quality and accessibility.
Scaling at speed has required disciplined decision-making. Leslau points to strategic pricing, clear brand positioning, nationwide availability, and market-led innovation as key factors behind the brands’ growth across Nigeria.
As a founder, Leslau sees confidence and conviction as central to his leadership philosophy, and reflected in the brands themselves.
“Confidence to express who you are, and conviction in who you’ve chosen to become,” he says.
Looking ahead, Leslau’s focus in West Africa is on deepening access and relevance. Expansion plans include broader distribution, new product launches, and further integration into local consumer culture, with Nigerian customers increasingly shaping the brands’ direction.
Beyond commercial growth, community impact has become a defining pillar of the brands’ presence in Nigeria. Riggs London and Confetti London have committed to reinvesting a portion of their profits into education-focused initiatives.
In 2026, the brands will launch the ‘I CAN, YOU CAN’ campaign nationwide, committing funds from every product sold in Nigeria toward supporting different Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR),especially in education.
“Education changes trajectories,” Leslau says. “When one child succeeds, it affects entire families and communities.”
As Riggs London and Confetti London continue to expand across West Africa, Leslau’s approach remains consistent: build brands that feel personal, culturally aware, and anchored in purpose, where fragrance is not just worn, but experienced.
Media personality Oyemykke has issued a warning to Nigerians living in the United States who are planning to travel home for the annual Detty December festivities.
In a recent message shared online, Oyemykke claimed he received information suggesting that Nigerians returning from the U.S. without an American passport could face challenges re-entering the country after the holidays.
Although he noted that he could not fully verify the claim, he said the potential risk was serious enough to warrant public attention.
According to him, individuals whose travel documents are not U.S. passports may want to reconsider their travel plans to avoid complications that could prevent them from returning to America to resume work, studies, or reunite with their families.
Oyemykke further downplayed the excitement surrounding Detty December, describing it as largely characterised by heavy traffic, noise, and overcrowded events.
He argued that the experience is not worth risking one’s immigration status or long-term future abroad, urging Nigerians abroad to carefully weigh their decisions and prioritise stability and security over seasonal celebrations.
Below are some of the comments;
“What is he even saying? Did you enter America illegally? Don’t you have your papers?“
“I don’t understand o. With the insecurity and kidnapping, I just dey wonder why some people dey go back to Nigeria.“
“Stop all this, stop making people scared…you are not American and stop making people fear…For updated travel information..log on to USCIS.gov.“
“If you don dey Nigeria already, just go buy a house because you’re back home, baby.”
An American man, identified as Chris, has spoken out after a new U.S. presidential travel ban reportedly left his Nigerian wife unable to join him in the United States.
In a video shared online, Chris explained that he has been married to his wife, Adenike, for over a year and a half, and that they have been waiting since May 2024 for her immigrant visa interview.
However, following the recent presidential proclamation, he says her chances of entering the United States have now become extremely unlikely.
According to him, the new policy halts the issuance of immigrant visas to spouses from affected countries, including Nigeria.
He noted that while previous travel bans largely targeted non-immigrant visas such as student, business, and tourist visas, family-based immigrant visas were previously exempt.
Chris revealed that his wife has never visited the United States, never met most of his relatives, and has never seen the country she is expected to call home.
Adding that many Americans underestimate how difficult and emotionally draining the legal immigration process can be.
The couple, who have known each other for five years, have never been able to live together in the U.S., and Chris fears the latest development has made reunification almost impossible.
He explained that he has continued to share videos about their experience to draw attention to what he describes as the plight of hundreds of thousands of families stuck in prolonged immigration processes.
A Nigerian lawyer has sparked reactions online after sharing a humorous post about a client who initiated divorce proceedings but still wants to spend the Christmas holidays with her husband.
In a tweet shared on X (formerly Twitter), the lawyer revealed that after collecting a consultation fee to initiate the divorce process, the client surprisingly inquired if it would be appropriate to spend Christmas with her husband.
“After paying consultation fee to initiate divorce proceedings, you’re asking me whether it’s okay to spend these Christmas holidays with your husband. Should I tie your legs???”he wrote.
The post, which was laced with sarcasm, quickly gained attention on social media, with many users finding it amusing, while others debated whether emotional attachment often lingers even after a decision to end a marriage.
Below are some of the comments;
“This is just like the couple that filled for divorce and showed up in court wearing matching outfits, same fabric, same style, perfectly coordinated.”
“Marital issues erh. You play small you go be third person. This one after they spend the Christmas together, dem go discuss you.”
“I once came across a thread of divorce lawyers and their experience with couples and from what I gathered , most of them are not even ready to go through with it deep down.”
“She might reconsider her decision after spending her holidays with her husband.”
The Lagos State Police Command has arrested and detained popular content creator Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known asPeller, following a viral video showing him engaging in reckless driving that resulted in a serious road crash.
According to a statement released by the Command, the incident occurred on Sunday, December 14, 2025, and was reportedly live-streamed on social media.
The police described Peller’s actions as dangerous, noting that he endangered his own life as well as the lives of other road users.
The Command stated that the suspect’s conduct constitutes an alleged attempt to commit suicide and a clear violation of public safety laws. He has since been taken into custody for further investigation.
The case is currently being investigated by the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID). The outcome of the investigation will be made public, and the suspect will be charged in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the law.
Reacting to the incident, the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, CP Olohundare Jimoh, issued a strong warning to social media influencers, content creators, and the general public against using online platforms to promote reckless, dangerous, or unlawful acts.
He emphasized that such behaviour would not be tolerated and assured residents that the Command would apply the full weight of the law to offenders.
The police further urged all road users to strictly adhere to traffic regulations, reiterating their commitment to maintaining public peace and safety across the state
Popular content creator, Pellerreportedly went as far as kneeling down to beg Jarvis to forgive him following their recent fallout, according to revelations by his close friend, Joblaq.
Speaking on the incident, Joblaq disclosed that Peller had already resolved to offer a sincere apology even before making his way to the police station. He revealed that the content creator was deeply remorseful and determined to make peace.
“Before he even went to the station, he told me he must apologize. He went to her place, knelt down, and was begging her seriously, saying he was sorry.” He said
According to Joblaq, Peller’s apology came shortly after he survived a recent car crash, an experience that reportedly made him reflect on his actions and relationships.
The revelation has since sparked widespread reactions online, with many commending Peller for swallowing his pride and taking responsibility, while others continue to debate the events that led to the public apology.
Below are some of the comments;
“Life really humbles you fast. Surviving a crash and still having the courage to kneel and apologize shows growth.”
“Sorry but kneeling down doesn’t erase what happened.”
“This is why near-death experiences change people. I hope Jarvis forgives him for her own peace.”
“Public apology or not, some things shouldn’t be turned into content. They both need privacy.”
Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has finally addressed long-standing rumours suggesting a close relationship between her andAnnie Idibia, firmly dismissing the claims as untrue.
Speaking during an interview onNaijaFM 102.7, Yvonne clarified that her only interaction with Annie Idibia was during the shoot of 2Face Idibia’s iconic African Queen music video.
“Apart from the video for African Queen, I don’t think anybody has seen us together before. We don’t have common friends,” she said.
The actress stressed that there has never been any form of friendship between them, describing the narrative circulating online as baseless.
“I don’t have a friendship relationship with Annie. I don’t know where they are getting that narrative from. Back then, I only walked into a studio, did my thing for the African Queen video, and left,” she explained.
Yvonne Jegede also addressed claims that she and Annie Idibia unfollowed each other on social media, stating that such assumptions are inaccurate.
According to her, they were never following each other on social media, so the narrative that they unfollowed each other is false.
Her comments have put to rest speculations of any bond beyond their brief professional encounter during the music video shoot.
Below are some of the comments;
“Yvonne and Uche Ogbodo are always on the wrong path of truth.”
“She knew you had a silent hatred for her, the reason she kept her distance.“
“Seems like you’ve always had beef with her… waiting for the opportunity to let it out.“
“But why exactly do we need this explanation??? I’m sure no one was asking… girl bye.”
Beauty entrepreneur and influencer,Laura Ikeji Kanu, has sparked conversations online after calling out what she described as excessive greed among service providers in Nigeria, particularly during the festive ‘Detty December’ season.
In a video shared online, Laura expressed frustration over the sharp increase in prices for everyday services, using hair braiding as a key example.
According to her, a hairstyle she previously paid ₦70,000 for before leaving Nigeria is now being quoted at ₦200,000, with suggestions that clients should be charged as much as ₦250,000 simply because it is December.
Describing the situation as unreasonable, Laura warned that such unchecked price hikes could ultimately ruin the festive season.
She noted that while December is typically a period of high sales for businesses, exploiting customers under the guise of seasonal demand is unfair and damaging.
Laura also addressed the common assumption that Nigerians living abroad are wealthy and can afford inflated prices.
She emphasized that many diaspora Nigerians are regular people who work hard, save up, and return home during the holidays to enjoy themselves, not to be exploited.
According to her, the trend of inflating prices for services rendered to returnees has been ongoing and is increasingly getting out of hand.
She argued that even the former ₦70,000 charge for hair braiding was already high, questioning the justification for nearly tripling the price within a short period.
Beyond the beauty industry, Laura extended her criticism to the housing sector, blaming the rise of short-term rentals such as Airbnb for contributing to increased rent across the country.
She alleged that landlords, seeing the high daily rates charged for short-let apartments, have transferred that mindset to annual rent pricing, further burdening residents.
Reiterating her stance, Laura maintained that greed remains a major issue affecting various sectors in the country.
She urged business owners and service providers to exercise restraint, fairness, and consideration, warning that continuous exploitation could discourage visitors and harm the very economy they seek to benefit from during the festive season.
Popular content creator Jarvishas addressed the public following the end of her relationship with fellow influencerPeller, urging social media users to stop mocking and shading him amid the ongoing backlash.
Recall that Peller had tried to take his own life during an Instagram live stream because she ended their relationship again.
Speaking during an emotional livestream, Jarvis expressed concern over the way Peller has been treated online, noting that the constant ridicule has only worsened the situation.
She emphasized that she has never described him as a bad person, repeatedly stressing that he is a good and kind individual.
According to Jarvis, the major challenge in their relationship was Peller’s difficulty managing his emotions, a situation she believes requires support rather than public condemnation.
She explained that while she is able to control her emotions, Peller struggles with his, and the focus now should be on helping him heal and improve.
Jarvis clarified that the end of their relationship is not rooted in hatred or malice but in the need for growth and emotional stability.
She stated that the relationship is ‘over for now’, adding that stepping away is not about cutting off communication completely, but about creating room to work on personal healing.
She appealed to the public to stop using their pain as a source of entertainment or clout, stressing that mockery, insults, and harmful narratives only deepen emotional wounds.
In her plea, Jarvis urged people to show empathy, gratitude, and conscience, asking them to thank God for life and for the fact that nothing tragic occurred.
She revealed that she still cares deeply for Peller and wants him to find the courage to heal, grow, and possibly return stronger.
Watch the video below,
Please, you guys should stop m0cking Peller. All he needs is encouragement to get better. Stop using our pa!n to m0ck us. Peller is a very sweet boy and needs your support to come back online. I love him but we need to be okay, I’m not okay” — Jarvis finally speaks out. pic.twitter.com/65Og0zXZMJ
Social media influencer, Amarachi Amusi, popularly known asAshmusy, has taken legal action against a realtor following what she described as false and defamatory claims regarding her home ownership.
In an official statement released by her company, Diamond Crest Homes, the firm addressed a publication allegedly made by Superblac Homeson Instagram on December 13, 2025, which claimed that a property publicly associated with Ashmusy was never owned by her.
The company described the publication as sensational, misleading, and entirely without factual basis.
According to Diamond Crest Homes, the claims were deliberately crafted to mislead the public, discredit a lawful real estate development, and undermine the credibility of both the company and its Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer.
The firm emphasized that the properties in question were designed, developed, and constructed over a two-year period, reflecting its commitment to quality and professional standards.
In response to the latest incident, the company confirmed that the matter has been formally handed over to its legal representatives, who have been instructed to take all necessary legal steps to protect both Ashmusy and Diamond Crest Homes from reputational harm.
It added that Ashmusy will no longer engage in public exchanges on the issue, as it is now being handled strictly through legal channels.

She described the allegations as reckless and misleading, stressing that she will take all lawful measures to defend her name, work, and reputation.
A video circulating online has sparked widespread reactions after a new mother was seen attending a choir rehearsal just one day after giving birth.
In the clip, the visibly exhausted new mum is shown participating in practice while fellow choristers praise her commitment and dedication.
Some members could be heard commending her strength, with others drawing inspiration from a biblical reference to Hebrew women who were described as strong and vigorous.
While the video inspired admiration from some viewers who applauded her resilience and devotion, it also triggered concern from critics who questioned the health implications of such an early return to physical activity after childbirth.
Medical professionals and commentators online pointed out that the immediate postpartum period is critical for rest, healing, and mother-child bonding.
Concerns were raised about potential risks such as excessive bleeding, infection, and delayed recovery, especially so soon after delivery.
Many argued that while faith and dedication are important, they should not come at the expense of a new mother’s health and wellbeing.
See comments below,
“Many of you will die… inside church…and God will still deny you entrance.”
“Does she have a husband or even a mother? Cos why would her immediate family allow this?”
“Such determination! I hope she also takes time to rest and care for herself and her baby. In my view, she might still need some proper rest, but her dedication is inspiring.”
“This is not a flex by the way. You’re just stressing yourself for stupid validation from people who will easily replace you in the choir is you kpai.”

Self-acclaimed relationship therapist, Blessing CEO, has taken to social media to express her joy and relief following the discharge and acquittal of her partner, Ikechukwu Darry Ogobnna, popularly known asIVD, in the long-running court case surrounding the death of his wife, Bimbo.
Sharing the news via her Instagram page, Blessing revealed that the court reached its decision on December 15, 2025, describing the moment as the end of four years marked by emotional strain, public pressure, and what she termed false narratives. According to her, the ruling signifies that justice has finally prevailed.
In an emotional post, she wrote, “Discharged and acquitted, 15th December 2025, It ended in praise. Four years of tears and false narratives. Nigeria’s justice system still works. I am proud of my country. Ikechukwu Darry Ogobnna (IVD), you can now have your life back. Congratulations.”
Beyond celebrating the court’s decision, Blessing CEO also used the opportunity to address relationship issues, advising individuals not to remain in marriages or partnerships that have become unhealthy or unsafe.
The development has since generated mixed reactions online. While some congratulated IVD and praised the court’s ruling, others revisited the controversies and public debates that surrounded the case in the years following Bimbo’s death.
Recall that in August, IVD was arrested at the airport while attempting to travel to Qatar, following claims that he was restricted from leaving the country due to the ongoing domestic violence case involving his late wife.
With the court now clearing him of the charges, Blessing CEO has maintained that the ordeal is finally over, adding that her partner can now move forward and reclaim his life after years of legal battles and public scrutiny.
Nollywood actress Regina Danielshas broken her silence amid an ongoing dispute involving her children, stating that no mother can truly be at peace while separated from her kids.
In an emotional post shared online, the actress suggested that although many people believe she is happy, she has been quietly dealing with the pain of being apart from her children.
She explained that her decision to step away from the situation publicly was intentional, as she refused to allow the pain to define or imprison her, adding that it took time for her to finally walk away.
Regina also raised concerns over what she described as the repeated public exposure of her children by their father, senator Ned Nwoko.
According to her, the public display of the children at this sensitive time appears deliberate and has inevitably attracted media attention.
She questioned whether such actions were motivated by a desire for public engagement rather than parental responsibility, noting that a public figure with legislative experience would be aware of the consequences of such exposure.
The actress revealed that she chose to remain silent initially to avoid escalating matters online but felt compelled to speak out following continued actions she described as immature.
In her words, she suggested that the former lawmaker’s conduct had shifted from statesmanship to attention-seeking.
Regina further alleged that she last spoke to her children in mid-November, claiming that Ned Nwoko dismissed all her nannies and pressured them into making false statements accusing her of violence and alcohol abuse, allegedly in the presence of the children.
She also stated that he has since filed for full custody, despite already having physical custody of the children.
Expressing confusion and pain, Regina questioned whether she truly posed such a threat as to warrant what she described as an aggressive challenge to her motherhood.
She emphasized that despite her young age, she deeply enjoys being a mother and misses caring for her children.
Ending her statement on a defiant note, the actress made it clear that she has no intention of backing down, declaring that she will fight for her children and remain confident that she will see them again soon.
Tension reportedly flared at Elizade University, Ondo State, after a visitor who came to celebrate his brother’s birthday was allegedly assaulted by a security officer while leaving the campus.
According to eyewitness accounts, the visitor had gone to the university to celebrate his brother’s birthday alongside some of his friends. He reportedly arrived with a cake and other gifts, but was informed by university authorities that cakes were not permitted on campus.
Sources said the visitor complied with the directive and decided to leave the premises peacefully with his friends. However, the situation allegedly escalated as they were exiting the school.
Eyewitnesses claimed that a security official began shouting at the visitor, questioning his presence despite being informed that he was a guest.
The visitor reportedly asked why he was being shouted at, insisting that he had come solely to celebrate his brother’s birthday.
According to one of the visitor’s friends, the confrontation intensified when the security officer allegedly demanded handcuffs.
The alleged assault reportedly occurred in public view, leading to claims of humiliation and distress for the visitor.
“We were already on our way out of the school when the man started shouting at him. The guy asked why he was being shouted at and said he was a visitor. The man got angry and started asking for handcuffs. He kept saying he only came for his brother’s birthday. That was when the man slapped him on the face, not once, but twice.”An eyewitness recounted
As of the time of filing this report, Elizade University management has not released an official statement addressing the incident or the allegations against the security officer.
The development has raised concerns among students and members of the public over the conduct of security personnel and the treatment of visitors on university campuses.

Popular YouTuberTayo Ainahas opened up about the realities of relocating abroad, describing the japa experience as far more difficult than many people anticipate.
Speaking about his move to Portugal, the content creator explained that leaving behind familiarity and starting over in a new country has been emotionally and socially challenging.
According to him, the situation was even tougher because Portugal is not a common destination for Nigerians.
Tayo revealed that the Nigerian population in Portugal is relatively small, estimating that there are about 5,000 Nigerians spread across the country. This limited presence, he noted, has made it difficult to build a support system.
He added that returning to Nigeria occasionally helps him reconnect with his roots, saying being around people who look like him and speak the same language makes a significant difference.
Despite the challenges, Tayo acknowledged some positives of living in Portugal, including improved infrastructure and a calmer lifestyle.
“It’s very hard, this japa thing… because for you to leave behind everything you know and go into a new country… mine is even worse. I went to a country that most Nigerians don’t go to. They don’t speak the same language, so there are not a lot of Nigerians in Portugal. Not having a community and just trying to start to grow a new community, especially when you’re older, it’s more harder because everybody is busy. Not having internet is no more a problem, ease of travel is much better, it’s just a more calmer society,” he said
However, he also pointed out that Portugal offers fewer opportunities compared to other Western European countries, particularly for newcomers trying to integrate into the system.
World Chess record holder Tunde Onakoya has sparked conversation online after sharing a personal reflection on X (Twitter) about how a decision made by his secondary school teachers significantly altered the direction of his life.
Onakoya revealed that one of his greatest regrets was being discouraged from pursuing the Arts, despite his passion for debates and dreams of becoming a lawyer.
According to him, teachers at his school insisted that the Science class was reserved for the brightest students, while the Arts class was wrongly portrayed as a place for underperformers.
“One of my greatest regrets in life was letting the teachers in my secondary school convince us that Art class was for dullards and science class for the smartest students. I was excellent at debates, loved words, and really wanted to be lawyer but they wouldn’t let me. They made that choice for me before I understood what it meant. I’m pretty sure this was a moment that altered the trajectory of the lives of so many Nigerian kids.” His tweet read
Onakoya added that the system did not only affect him but likely changed the destiny of so many Nigerian kids who were pushed into academic paths they did not choose.
His post has since generated reactions online, with many Nigerians echoing similar experiences and criticising what the long-standing bias within the country’s educational system.
Nigerian content creator and social media influencer Ashmusy has come under scrutiny after being accused of making a false claim about owning a newly completed luxury property.
The controversy follows her announcement celebrating the completion of a four-unit duplex in Lekki, which she attributed to years of hard work and dedication.
The post drew significant attention, with many followers congratulating her on what appeared to be a major milestone.
However, a realtor operating under the Instagram handle ‘superblachomes’has publicly disputed the claim, alleging that the property was never purchased by the influencer.
According to the realtor, the duplex is still listed for sale and has not been transferred to any new owner.
“Ignore the lies. This property was never acquired by your fave and is still very much available for sale.” The realtor’s post read
The allegation has since sparked debate across social media, with users sharing mixed reactions.
While some criticised the influencer for allegedly misleading her followers, others asked for patience until she provides her side of the story.
As of the time of reporting, Ashmusy has not issued any statement addressing the claims.
Below are some of the comments;
“Why didn’t they talk that time she posted it….be like you guys are not on the same page anymore , probably an Ad before.“
“I keep asking myself, what exactly are these influencers trying to prove?“
“How did she have access into the building if the realtor didn’t enable her?“
“What if it’s her property and it’s in the market for sell? Should she carry it around on her head?“
A Nigerian traveller has sparked widespread discussion online after sharing a harrowing account of landing at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, only to step into what he described as complete darkness.
The video, which he posted online quickly went viral, capturing the moment of confusion and frustration as passengers disembarked and attempted to navigate parts of the airport with no visible power supply.
In the clip, the traveller expressed disbelief that such a major international gateway could be left without functional lighting or an adequate backup system.
According to his account, the blackout occurred shortly after his arrival, leaving both new arrivals and airport staff scrambling in the dark.
He questioned how an airport that serves as one of Africa’s busiest hubs could experience such a lapse in basic infrastructure.
The incident ignited reactions across social media, while some users made light of the situation with jokes, many others condemned the airport authorities, describing the experience as embarrassing and unsafe.
Frequent travellers also voiced concerns, saying the situation illustrates ongoing issues with infrastructure reliability at the airport.
Aviation observers have since weighed in, urging airport management to prioritise dependable power solutions, strengthen contingency measures, and improve communication during emergencies.
They warned that repeated lapses could undermine passenger confidence and damage the airport’s reputation internationally.

Nigerian music icon Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has tendered a public apology as the controversy surrounding his marriage to Natasha Osawaru continues to escalate.
The drama began after two of his former managers, Kaka Igbokwe and Lori Tosan, accused Natasha of trying to assume full control of the singer’s finances and career during a live session hosted by media personality Daddy Freeze.
During the broadcast, 2Baba unexpectedly joined the conversation, urging his ex-managers to stop discussing his private life.
Moments later, a heated exchange between him and Natasha was overheard off-camera before the live abruptly ended.
The situation intensified when members of 2Baba’s family filed a petition to the Inspector-General of Police, accusing Natasha of assault, bigamy, and financial misconduct.
They alleged she attacked the singer in both the UK and Abuja, and withheld his personal documents, including his passport.
However, 2Baba distanced himself from his family’s claims, saying their efforts to save him were causing more harm than good.
He insisted their accusations were unfairly damaging Natasha’s reputation and deeply interfering in his marriage.
According to him, Natasha has been receiving death threats as a result of the controversy.
Addressing the matter at a recent public event, the 50-year-old singer apologised for the chaos that has unfolded publicly, describing it as unnecessary entertainment.
“I must say that I don provide too much entertainment. Please do not be angry at me again. Please forgive me and my family.” He said
Pastor E.A. Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has revealed the reason he no longer works with female secretaries.
Speaking to his congregation, the respected cleric explained that the decision stemmed from the nature of his workload, which often keeps him in the office late into the night.
He noted that being alone with a female staff member during such hours could create unnecessary risks or misinterpretations.
According to him, the choice was a personal precaution, not an act of gender discrimination.
Pastor Adeboye emphasized that his previous female secretaries were exceptional in their service, describing them as wonderful and true children of God.
He acknowledged that they played significant roles during his earlier years in ministry, particularly during his time at Ebute Meta.
“From the moment I got to a stage where, at night, I still have to work, I ceased to have a female secretary. Some people think it is gender discrimination. I know myself. I know who I was before Jesus saved my soul. I know the possibility of dangers in being left alone at night with people of the opposite sex.” He said
He recalled how dedicated his last female secretary was, noting that she often worked into the early hours of the morning.
However, he stressed that such a setting, being alone at 2 or 3 a.m. could easily be misunderstood or lead to temptation, hence his decision to switch to male secretaries for late-night duties.
Pastor Adeboye maintained that his choice is purely about safeguarding himself and his ministry, urging people not to interpret it as a slight against women but as a personal boundary rooted in prudence and self-awareness.

A Reverend sister, Gina King, has publicly addressed criticism that trailed her birthday photoshoot after she appeared wearing medical scrubs in the pictures.
The photos, which she shared earlier, sparked debate among social media users who questioned her choice of attire.
Many commenters argued that the outfit was inappropriate for a consecrated Catholic sister, prompting widespread conversation online.
In a statement released on her Facebook page, Sister Gina clarified that the outfit was not a fashion statement but her standard professional uniform as a healthcare worker.
“The outfit I wore is called a medical scrub, and it is the standard uniform required for healthcare practitioners. As a consecrated person, my consecration does not stop me from carrying out my duties as a healthcare worker.” She wrote
She explained that scrubs must include trousers for practical and safety reasons within medical environments.
According to her, the clothing is essential for free movement, proper coverage, comfort, and safety when attending to patients.
Sister Gina further emphasized that religious sisters serve God in different fields, including education, administration, charity, and healthcare.
Her current calling, she said, involves serving through the medical profession, which requires her to dress appropriately.
She went on by urging critics and supporters alike to look beyond her attire, advising them to focus on the heart of service rather than the external attire.
TECNO, official CAF global partner, introduces four intelligent tools designed to transform how fans watch, interpret, and share the continent’s biggest football tournament.
As preparations intensify for the Africa Cup of Nations 2025, TECNO has introduced a suite of football-focused AI features designed to reshape the way millions of Africans experience the tournament. The launch, powered by the company’s proprietary Ella AI system, reflects a growing shift in how football is consumed in the digital age, not only in stadiums and living rooms, but through the lenses, feeds, and instant reactions that dominate smartphones across the continent.
For many fans, the smartphone has become a second screen, a debate platform, a slow-motion studio, and a memory archive. TECNO’s latest tools attempt to formalize that reality, turning everyday devices into active companions capable of interpreting the match as it unfolds.
At the center of the rollout is Ella Match Decoder, an AI engine that reads on-field movement, tactical patterns, and key plays in real time. The feature delivers instant, simplified analysis normally reserved for professional commentators, allowing casual viewers to understand momentum shifts, defensive structures, or build-up sequences with unusual clarity.
The suite also includes visual recognition capabilities through Ella Snap & Know, while Ella Match Highlight compiles personalized summaries of decisive actions, goals, recoveries, combinations, errors, or turning points. Fans gain autonomy over what they revisit and share, independent of official broadcast clips or social-media circulation.
Meanwhile, Ella Star Cam shifts focus from the pitch to the stands. Described by TECNO as a “superstar lens,” the tool is built to capture what defines the AFCON experience for many: the chants, synchronized dances, sharp pivots of excitement, and collective euphoria that animate African football culture. The feature anticipates movement and emotion, creating footage that feels closer to immersion than observation.
Together, the tools express TECNO’s broader , Aspire Intelligence philosophy, which interprets AI not as a distant technical layer but as an intuitive part of everyday behavior. In the context of football, the company says, that, focusing on the small details that shape how people watch, debate, and emotionally process the game from tactical curiosity to the instinct to document fleeting celebration.
As an Official Partner of the Confederation of African Football, TECNO plans to integrate the technology into its on-ground booths, fan-engagement zones, and digital communities throughout the tournament. The company describes the rollout as part of a larger effort to create a more participatory football ecosystem, one where fans help define the narrative rather than merely consume it.
With AFCON 2025 expected to dominate screens and social platforms across the continent, TECNO’s announcement underscores a broader shift: smartphones no longer simply record the atmosphere around the game; they interpret it, contextualize it, and shape how it is remembered.
Nigerian actress Zainab Balogun has sparked a debate on social media after publicly calling out IJGBs, the popular term for Nigerians returning home in December, for contributing to the sharp rise in prices during the festive season.
In a candid video shared on Instagram, the actress said she needed all the IJGBs doing Dirty December in Ghana, Nigeria, wherever to step forward, because local vendors were dealing with them seriously this year.
According to her, the seasonal inflation currently affecting hair, beauty, and lifestyle services is something the returning crowd unintentionally created.
Zainab explained that many IJGBs frequently make content bragging about getting services for cheap back home, like $60 braids, despite warnings from locals to stop publicizing those comparisons.
She said such posts opened vendors’ eyes, inspiring some of them to take advantage by drastically inflating their prices this December.
She cited an example of a woman who allegedly paid ₦800,000 for braids and ended up with a ₦2.5 million bill because the extensions were human hair–infused.
According to the actress, these inflated prices are not the norm for residents; she argued that the price surge is strictly seasonal, and it is the IJGBs who will face it while locals avoid the exploitative costs.
Her comments have since triggered widespread reactions, with many Nigerians agreeing that returning visitors often worsen seasonal market behaviour, while others argue that service providers should be held accountable for their excessive pricing.
A young lady has stirred discussion on social media after asserting that men in Abuja can also be gold diggers, challenging the often-repeated narrative that only women seek financial benefits in relationships.
In a video shared on X (Twitter), the lady recounted her personal experiences since relocating to the nation’s capital.
She admitted that she used to dismiss claims about Abuja men exploiting women financially until she encountered it firsthand.
“It is happening. Before I came to Abuja, I didn’t believe it. When they told me Abuja men are this and that, I didn’t believe it. I’m not the type to judge till it came to me,” she said.
According to her, several men she met displayed a subtle but consistent interest in her financial capacity rather than a genuine connection.
She said they frequently asked probing questions such as where she lived, whether she lived alone, and how much she earned, conversations that eventually led to requests for money.
She noted that society often criticizes women for spending men’s money, yet her experiences show that some men also engage in the same behaviour, seeking relationships primarily for material gain.
Her story has triggered a debate online, with many sharing similar encounters and others defending Abuja men from generalization.
Wizkid’s first son, Boluwatife Balogun, widely known by his stage name Champz, has opened up about his growing passion for music and his determination to build his own identity outside his father’s global stardom.
In a recent interview with Glitch Africa, the 14-year-old spoke about how naturally music found its way into his life.
Surrounded by a musically inclined environment, he said his early exposure came from family and friends.
“My dad does music, I have friends who make music, and a cousin who plays piano. I have been making beats and writing songs since I was young,” he shared.
Despite being the son of one of Africa’s most successful artists, Champz insists he feels no pressure to replicate Wizkid’s achievements. His focus, he said, is simply on growing at his own pace.
“There’s no pressure. I’m young. I mean, I’m 14. I still have a long way to go. I’ve done a lot for my age already. No pressure,”he said confidently.
The young rapper has been steadily teasing original music and cultivating a fan base online, signaling early steps in what could become a promising career.
With increasing media appearances and public interest, Champz appears ready to take more deliberate strides into the spotlight on his own terms.
Nigerian music legend Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia has publicly condemned his family for allegedly interfering in his marriage toNatasha Osawuru, claiming that his wife is now receiving death threats as a result of their actions.
The singer’s statement comes in response to a petition filed by his family to the Inspector-General of Police, which accused Osawuru of assault, bigamy, and financial misconduct.
The petition reportedly alleged that Natasha physically assaulted 2Baba in the United Kingdom and Abuja and withheld his personal documents, including his passport.
In a now-viral video, 2Baba rejected his family’s narrative, arguing that their attempts to save him are instead destroying his life and unfairly tarnishing Natasha’s character.
“I’m a grown man, and I believe I have the right to be with whoever I want to be with, I am perfectly okay and I recently performed at a show in Abuja. Yes, Natasha and I had a quarrel, which is normal between couples, but this is getting out of hand. Natasha is getting death threats right now. My family, who claim they want to save me, have actually destroyed me and damaged someone’s daughter’s character,” the singer said.
2Baba described the petition and the surrounding rumours as fabricated lies and stories, dismissing them as nonsense, and expressed deep hurt and stress over the situation.
He appealed for an end to the harassment and urged his family and others to respect his privacy.
The controversy escalated after 2Baba’s former managers, Kaka Igbokwe and Lori Tosan, appeared on a live session hosted by media personality Daddy Freeze.
During the broadcast, they accused Natasha of seeking full control over the singer’s finances and career.
2Baba intervened in the live session, instructing the former managers to stop discussing his private life.
However, shortly afterward, heated arguments between him and Natasha were audible off-camera, before the live broadcast abruptly ended.
The singer promised to address further details in the coming days, emphasizing that while he understands concern for his well-being, the harassment of his wife and the intrusion into his private life are unacceptable.
