The public drama involving music icon Innocent ‘2Baba‘ Idibia and his wife, Natasha Osawaru, a member of the Edo State House of Assembly, has intensified as the singer’s family has reportedly taken the matter to law enforcement.
The controversy first escalated after a confrontation between the couple appeared during an Instagram Live session hosted by media personality Daddy Freeze.
The footage, along with emerging concerns about the couple’s relationship, prompted the Edo State House of Assembly to summon Osawaru before its Ethics and Privileges Committee.
In the midst of public speculation, 2Baba attempted to reassure fans, stating that he was safe and well.
According to reports, 2Baba’s family has petitioned the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, urging an investigation into Osawaru over a range of serious allegations.
In a letter dated November 12, the family accused the lawmaker of physical assault, bigamy, financial misconduct, and misappropriation of funds.
They alleged that her actions resulted in emotional distress, damage to 2Baba’s reputation, and financial losses.
The petition reportedly lists several concerns, including: Alleged physical assaults, unauthorized access to the singer’s phone and bank accounts, seizing his personal belongings and travel documents.
In their appeal, the petitioners asked police authorities to thoroughly investigate the allegations, expressing fears for 2Baba’s personal safety and emotional well-being.
This is not the first time the singer’s family has raised public concern. In February, they reportedly petitioned the State Security Service (SSS), claiming 2Baba had gone missing.
At the time, the family said neither his record label, close associates, nor staff members were able to reach him.
They further alleged that friends received calls from unknown individuals using the singer’s social media accounts to request money, fueling fears of possible abduction.
An X (Twitter) user has recounted a distressing incident he overheard at a local bank while waiting to resolve a cash-withdrawal issue.
According to the tweet, a married couple had left home earlier in the day after a misunderstanding.
The husband reportedly returned home first, while the wife was delayed on her way back, likely due to heavy traffic.
At about 7 p.m., armed robbers allegedly broke into their apartment.
The husband, attempting to protect himself, hid in the bathroom and repeatedly called his wife, urging her not to return home and to contact security operatives instead.
Despite several missed calls and multiple text messages, she did not respond.
The intruders eventually discovered the husband and, realizing he was expecting his wife, waited in the home until she finally arrived around 9 p.m. She was attacked upon arrival, sustaining severe trauma.
In the aftermath, the husband expressed his intention to file for divorce an action that has sparked disagreement within the family, as his in-laws reportedly consider him wicked for the decision.
The storyteller questioned the emotional disconnect that could lead a spouse to ignore several calls from their partner, especially after work hours, stating that many people are married to complete strangers.
A church member has publicly accused his pastor of refusing to pay him for a painting job, sparking debate online about fairness and accountability.
In a video shared on social media, the man recounted how he used his own money to purchase paint and complete a full house painting project at the pastor’s residence.
According to him, when he requested payment, the pastor reportedly told him that his reward was in heaven.
The church member expressed frustration at being denied compensation for work completed on the pastor’s home, questioning the logic of being promised spiritual reward while still handling real-world expenses himself.
He also pointed out an apparent contradiction, alleging that the pastor, who emphasizes heavenly rewards to his congregation, had recently purchased 30 hectares of land.
He said;
“Pastor says make me come paint his house, I use my money go paint the pastor’s house. After I finished painting his house, I came and met the pastor so he could pay me my money. The pastor said my reward is in heaven. I called pastor Emma, na heaven I paint or your own house? Upon say na my money I use buy paint. The pastor wey talk say our reward dey heaven stand for earth, but he buy 30 hectares of land.”
The video has since sparked widespread discussion online, with many questioning the ethics of church leaders asking for voluntary labor while living comfortably.

The paternity dispute surrounding Liam, the son of late singer Mohbad, has resurfaced after his mother, Wunmi, addressed claims that she has been avoiding a DNA test demanded by the singer’s father.
The matter comes in the wake of Mohbad’s father revealing that the DNA court case has been reopened and asserting that the singer will not be buried until the process is completed.
The bereaved grandfather has repeatedly questioned Liam’s paternity and approached the court to compel Wunmi to submit the child for testing, leading to public speculation that she has been stalling the proceedings.
In a statement shared through her lawyers on Instagram, Wunmi countered these claims, insisting that it has been Mohbad’s father who has caused the delay.
She explained that the case resumed in court yesterday, where her father-in-law requested that the DNA test be conducted exclusively in two hospitals of his choice.
However, the court rejected this request, ruling that the test must be carried out in neutral and independent hospitals where neither party has personal interests.
Wunmi emphasized that this requirement has contributed to the delay, but stressed that she remains ready to comply with the court’s directive once neutral facilities are appointed.

A young man has sparked reactions on social media after claiming that Senator Ned Nwoko allegedly offered him and others N5 million each to harm his estranged wife, actress Regina Daniels.
Ned Nwoko has been the focus of public attention in recent months due to a highly publicised marital crisis with Daniels, with rumours of separation dominating headlines.
While the couple appears to have moved on separately, the recent allegation has reignited interest in their turbulent relationship.
In a viral video circulating online, the young man, who partially concealed his face, alleged that the Senator instructed them to carry out the attack, even providing Daniels’ location and schedule.
He claimed they refused the assignment, citing the high risk involved.
In the video, he said “Ned Nwoko told us to go and kill Regina Daniels, gave us her location and the time she was going to move, but we refused to do it, because… I cannot do it.”
He also claimed that appearing in the video placed his life in danger, adding that the Senator had paid them N5 million each and warned Daniels to be cautious during the current ember months.
The video has generated mixed reactions across social media, with many Nigerians expressing shock, concern, and disbelief over the claims.
Authorities have not confirmed the allegations, and no official statements have been released regarding any investigation.
A social media post has stirred conversation online after a man opened up about the overwhelming emotional and financial strain of caring for his 95-year-old mother, whose health has been steadily declining.
According to the account, the man revealed that his mother’s medical needs have become a constant and exhausting cycle of one health crisis after another.
Despite being financially comfortable, he admitted that the burden of her care has tested even his level of wealth.
Beyond the financial pressure, he explained that the situation has begun to affect every aspect of his life, including his marriage, work relationships, and overall peace of mind.
When asked how old his mother was, he responded, 95. The age surprised even the person he was lamenting to, who noted how close she is to reaching 100.
The post has sparked discussions about the emotional complexity of watching a parent age, and the sense of guilt many feel when they reach the point of emotional burnout.
Many users sympathized with the man’s honesty, saying that caring for an elderly parent can be both an act of love and a heavy responsibility, while others noted that if a parent had lived up to a certain age of 85 or 90, they should not pour all their efforts into their well-being because they have reached the age where they are old enough to pass on.
An X (Twitter) user has sparked a conversation online after sharing the unusual story of a man who returned home exactly one year after disappearing during his own surprise birthday celebration.
According to the tweet, the man had come home from work last year to find his living room filled with friends, decorations, and a cake, an elaborate surprise party planned by his wife.
Although the gesture was meant to be thoughtful, the husband was known to dislike crowds and birthday celebrations, a fact his wife was aware of.
However, he smiled politely, waved at everyone, and then quietly excused himself, and that was the last time anyone saw him.
His phone numbers stopped going through, and his sudden disappearance left his family and neighbours in confusion and worry.
The X user went on to reveal that the neighbourhood woke up in shock this morning when the man walked back into his home as calmly as he had left exactly one year to the day after he vanished.
As of the time of this report, no details have been shared yet about where he has been or why he left for so long.
Below are some of the comments;
“There are certain Levels of being an introvert and his might just be the highest.”
“That’s strange. Was he in touch with the wife through out his absence? Looks like a ghost story.”
“Do you not think this man might be dead and reappeared, married and is avoiding to be seen? Am I the only one who is thinking about that?”
“Highest level of introvert with a lil touch of mental issue. What!? Absconded for a whole one year.”
Joseph Aloba, father of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has once again addressed the delay surrounding his son’s burial, insisting that a DNA test remains the most important step before the family can proceed.
In a video shared online, he said the scheduled court hearing on the DNA matter is crucial and has been the reason the late artiste has not yet been laid to rest.
According to him, resolving the issue will enable the family to move forward with other necessary arrangements.
In his words;
“Today is the DNA court case. I am telling the whole world that this is the most important thing and what has been delaying Mohbad’s burial. After the DNA has been done, we can now move on to other things.”
The demand for a DNA test has been one of the most debated aspects of the ongoing conversations surrounding Mohbad’s death.
While some family members and members of the public have continued to push for clarity, others have urged that the singer be buried without further delay.
Mohbad passed away on September 12, 2023, sparking widespread mourning and calls for an investigation into the circumstances of his death.
His body was later exhumed by authorities as part of the probe, and since then, the family has not reached a final agreement on burial plans.

Afrobeats star Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, and his wife,Natasha Osawaru was caught in a heated off-camera exchange during an Instagram Live session hosted by a media personalityDaddy Freeze.
The broadcast featured two of the singer’s former management associates, Kaka Igbokwe and Lori Tosan, who alleged that Natasha exercised excessive control over the artist’s professional affairs.
The pair further claimed that the newly married lawmaker often displayed violent outbursts, referencing past incidents involving the couple, including an alleged domestic disturbance in the United Kingdom.
Midway through the session, as the allegations continued, 2Baba abruptly joined the livestream, sternly warning his former managers to stop discussing his private life.
Moments later, raised voices believed to be the singer and his wife were heard in the background, prompting Daddy Freeze to end the broadcast abruptly.
The incident has intensified public scrutiny of the couple’s relationship, which became a subject of widespread attention earlier in the year after 2Baba announced his separation from actress Annie Idibia in January. He proposed to Osawaru in February, and the pair married in July.
The recent controversy revived earlier claims that the singer was briefly taken into police custody in the UK following an alleged altercation with Natasha during his tour in October.
Although 2Baba denied the report at the time, maintaining that he only missed a performance due to a medical emergency, the allegations have resurfaced in the wake of the viral live session.
REVOO is a brand from Transsion Holdings—the parent company of TECNO, Infinix, itel, Oraimo etc. Established in 2023 and has expanded to over 10 countries, and now has more than 250 stores worldwide. It officially launched in Nigeria in 2025 with the opening of three stores in Lagos. REVOO Nigeria aims to revolutionise urban transportation with its range of electric motorcycles.
REVOO’s entry into the Nigerian market marks a strategic move by Transsion Holdings to diversify its portfolio and capitalise on the growing demand for sustainable and cost-effective transportation solutions. Electric motorcycles offer a compelling alternative to traditional petrol-powered bikes, promising lower running costs, reduced emissions, and quieter operation.
The brand is launching with a range of models designed to cater to different needs and preferences. The REVOO lineup includes the A11, A12, C32, and E52 models, each offering varying performance characteristics and price points.
A11: Rule Urban Roads
The A11 is designed as an accessible and practical entry-level scooter. Its 1000W motor and 60V21Ah battery provide a reliable 70km range and a top speed of 45km/h, making it perfectly suited for short daily commutes. Its charging capability is 5-7 hours. Key features highlight its lightweight construction and beginner-friendly nature, ensuring ease of handling for new riders in urban environments.
A12: As Strong, As Style
Building on the entry-level formula, the A12 offers a slight but meaningful upgrade for urban riding. It uses a higher voltage 72V21Ah battery paired with a 1000W motor, which extends its range to 80km and increases the top speed to 50km/h. And the charging time is 5-7 hours. It is characterized by its slightly extended mileage, smooth riding experience, and low energy consumption, making it an efficient choice for navigating city streets.
C32: Power Your Journey
The C32 is a robust motorcycle built for more demanding use. It features a significantly more powerful 1800W motor and a larger 72V35Ah battery, enabling a 90km range and a 60km/h top speed. The charging time is 5-7 hours to support the long range. Its core features include stronger performance, making it particularly suitable for delivery riders and capable of handling the challenges of typical Nigerian roads with greater ease.
E52: Glide With Power
Positioned as the premium performance model, the E52 is engineered for power and long-distance travel. It is equipped with a massive 3000W motor and a high-capacity 96V35Ah battery, achieving an impressive 120km range and a top speed of 80km/h. Its defining features are its long-distance capability just with 5-7 hours charging time, premium performance, and powerful acceleration, catering to riders who require the highest level of motorcycle functionality.
Each REVOO motorcycle features durable design, extended battery capacity for daily commuting, significantly reduced operating costs (as low as ₦70 per day), and a comprehensive 1 year or 6,000 km warranty. Every showroom also functions as a service center, ensuring that riders have reliable technical support and spare parts availability from day one.
REVOO’s entry into Nigeria is expected to boost employment across sales, marketing, after-sales service, and technical support, strengthening local capacity within the growing green-technology sector. The company has positioned itself to support Nigeria’s transition toward sustainable transportation solutions by combining global engineering expertise with locally driven implementation.
With its backing from Transsion Holdings and a range of models to choose from, REVOO is well-positioned to capture a significant share of the growing electric motorcycle market in Nigeria. The brand’s focus on affordability, performance, and a physical retail presence suggests a long-term commitment to the Nigerian market.

Speaking on the Honest Bunch podcast, the actress revealed that she had the lady who secretly took the picture without her consent arrested.
The viral gym photo, which made the rounds on social media, sparked mixed reactions from internet users.
Nkechi, visibly emotional during the interview, said the image was taken without her permission, despite her long-standing confidence in her natural body as a mother of a six-year-old.
She criticised women who undergo cosmetic surgery yet mock those who maintain their natural bodies, describing the behaviour as hypocritical and hurtful.
According to her, she went out of her way to track down the lady responsible for taking the photo and ensured she was apprehended.
Nkechi also accused the management of the gym of initially refusing to release information that could have helped identify the culprit, a move she found disappointing.
“This is my body, this is how I’ve always been. I have a 6-year-old son. You get BBL, you dey snap me wey get natural body, are you stupid? I found her and got her arrested… na because I no come online?” She said

Nigerian comedian Emmanuel Ejekwu, popularly known as Sabinus, has opened up about the initial resistance he faced from his father over his decision to pursue a career in comedy.
Speaking in an interview with VJ Adams, Sabinus revealed that his father always wanted him to become a lawyer.
However, after he was unable to secure admission to study law, he settled for Linguistics and Communication Studies at the University of Port Harcourt.
It was during his time on campus that he discovered his flair for comedy and began experimenting with skit-making.
According to him, his father was disappointed when he found out he had ventured into comedy, expressing regret over sponsoring his education and dismissing the craft as a stupid business.
Recounting the tense moment, Sabinus said;
“At first, my dad never wanted me to be what I am today. He wanted me to be a lawyer. I tried my best, but I couldn’t secure a law admission, so I had to settle for Linguistics and Communication Studies at UniPort. It was on the campus that I saw skit making, and I decided to try it out. Money wasn’t coming.
After I graduated, my dad never knew I was a comedian because I was hiding it. It was one more year after school that he started seeing me on comedy show posters. My sisters confirmed it to him, and he was very furious. He fumed, Which comedy? Stupid business. Look at the boy I sent to become a lawyer.”
Sabinus added that his father eventually softened his stance and became supportive especially after he began making money from his craft and even shared part of his earnings with him.
Grammy-winning Nigerian singerTems has opened up about her remarkable rise to global stardom, admitting that her current level of success has far exceeded anything she once imagined while working a regular corporate 9–5 job.
The revelation came during an interactive session with fans on X (Twitter), where the Burning crooner responded to questions about her career and future aspirations.
When one fan asked, “What are you currently looking forward to? Also, would you say you’ve achieved all of your dreams prior to stardom?”
Tems replied with humility and gratitude, saying, “I’m looking forward to whatever the Lord has in store, and honestly, I’ve achieved beyond my dreams from when I had a 9–5.”
Her response quickly went viral, resonating deeply with fans who have followed her journey from a young independent artist in Lagos to a global music force.
Tems quit her job as a digital marketer in 2018 to chase her passion for music full-time. Though the decision came with uncertainty, it ultimately became the turning point of her career.
Her breakout moment arrived in 2020 through her feature on Wizkid’s global hit Essence. The song, later remixed with Justin Bieber, soared to No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and introduced her to international audiences.
From there, Tems’ rise became unstoppable. In 2023, she made history as the first female Afrobeats artist to win a Grammy, earning the award for her contribution to Future’s Wait for U.
She followed this with another milestone at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, where she won the inaugural Best African Music Performance category for her solo track Born in the Wild.
A young Nigerian man has stirred reactions online after sharing how a moment on his second date completely changed the way he sees the woman he has been talking to.
Narrating the experience, he explained that he took the lady to ShopRite, and they decided to stop by Cold Stone for ice cream.
Confidently, he ordered two medium cups only to be told the price was ₦14,000 per cup. Trying not to look embarrassed, he kept quiet so he wouldn’t appear like a fool.
To his surprise, the lady immediately intervened, saying the price was way too high and suggested they get something cheaper instead.
According to him, she didn’t act embarrassed, entitled, or dramatic, just genuinely considerate.
She then took him to a frozen yoghurt spot nearby where they bought cones for ₦2,500 each, and she was perfectly content with the change of plan.
The man, who admitted he had been delaying the relationship because he didn’t want to rush and regret later, said that the lady’s humility and practicality during that small moment shook him.
He confessed that the gesture made him see her differently and even consider that she might be ‘the one,’ though he wondered if he was overthinking it.
His story has since gone viral, with many Nigerians praising the lady’s behaviour and saying such small acts often reveal a person’s true character.
Social media has been buzzing after a shocking incident involving a woman who allegedly pretended to be dead in a bid to escape paying her ajo (thrift contribution) debt.
According to a post shared on Instagram, the woman, identified as Imisi, had reportedly been avoiding repayment for some time.
When pressure from members of her thrift group intensified, she allegedly teamed up with her sister to stage a dramatic fake death.
The duo reportedly recorded a video showing Imisi wrapped in a white cloth, with cotton stuffed in her nostrils, lying motionless to create the impression that she had passed away.
The clip was then sent to the thrift group to convince members of her supposed death.
In addition to the video, her sister allegedly posted a message in the group chat claiming they had lost her, suggesting Imisi died due to threats over her unpaid debt.
The message read, “Imisi is dead oooo. We’re going to our hometown today, and we will carry the corpse to bury her today. A lot is inside her phone ooo A lot of threatening messages she’s receiving cause of the money den carry japa. Sis Bimpe, I lost Imisi. Imisi left without considering our own family.

Recognizing this unsettled energy and transforms it into momentum, TECNO now provides powerful cutting-edge AI product ecosystem and technology that doesn’t just keep up with their ambitions but propels them forward.
The heart of the new brand films tells how TECNO AI integrates naturally into the daily lives of these young changemakers through the brand’s ecosystem of products. The narrative unfolds through four key emotional territories such as Power Your Joy, Power Your Rise, Power Your Future, and Power Your Creativity. Each represents pivotal moments where intention transforms into action through TECNO AI features.
From a Moroccan family enjoying a superior match experience with TECNO AI glasses and TECNO Slim, to a group of high-net-worth African leaders powering the younger generation of entrepreneurs; from a teenager studying more efficiently with TECNO AI support, and a group of young content creators leveling up their craft through TECNO AI-powered devices – every scene brings the theme to life through authentic yet epic moments. Together, they illustrate how Africans are harnessing technology with determination and passion to explore and build a brighter future.
“TECNO’s Power Your Moment manifesto speaks directly to the emotional core of this generation: their refusal to wait, their drive to prove themselves, and their belief that their time is now. TECNO AI and TECNO AI ecosystem doesn’t just enable, it powers the unstoppable momentum of Africa’s youth rising.” said, Jack Guo, General Manager of TECNO.
From screen to street, TECNO is translating this message into tangible experiences across the continent. TECNO understands that inspiration is most powerful when paired with real interaction, which is why the brand is bringing its technology directly to young Africans. In AFCON host cities, TECNO will open Pop-Up Stores and Fan Zones where fans can explore the full ecosystem, smartphones, wearables, laptops, and AI-powered imaging, while celebrating the tournament.
Retail experiences will showcase how TECNO AI supports real moments, from capturing match-day highlights to seamlessly shifting tasks between devices. Technology-themed AFCON viewing parties will turn football nights into shared, innovation-led experiences with enhanced joy. Online, AFCON-exclusive AI features will offer fans new tools to create, connect, and express their passion in ways that feel personal, creative, and authentic.
TECNO’s commitment goes deeper than access—it’s about recognition and empowerment. As part of its AFCON 2025 campaign, TECNO is set to launch #PowerYourMoment – a Pan-African creator initiative celebrating creativity, culture, and personal aspiration across the continent. Running from November 28 to December 5, TECNO invites young creators to reinterpret four emotional themes -Moment of Glory, Joy, Rising, Creativity-through photos and videos featuring TECNO devices.
A TikTok LIVE challenge will take place from November 28 to December 11 , with a strong focus on Morocco, Algeria and Egypt, offering a dynamic stage for creators to express personal achievement, optimism, and creative identity. Joeboy’s dedicated brand TVC will serve as a unifying thread for participants.
Both initiatives will culminate in the selection of 60 top creators, who will be invited to Morocco during AFCON 2025 to attend the Opening Ceremony, explore TECNO’s Pop-Up Store, take part in an exhibition match with AFCON legends, and join TECNO GLORY NIGHT, an exclusive gala dinner alongside players, creators, and representatives of the brand.
With “Power Your Moment”, TECNO presents a campaign that bridges technology, culture, and individual aspiration at a pivotal moment for African football. As AFCON Morocco 2025 approaches, the brand aims to inspire people across the continent to seize every opportunity, share their stories, and embrace the potential of AI-enabled creativity.

Amid ongoing controversies surrounding the late singer Mohbad, his father has clarified claims regarding his relationship withCynthia Omowunmi Adebanjo.
In a recorded statement, Mohbad’s father firmly denied that any traditional wedding took place, saying he only attended an introduction ceremony.
He explained that the introduction was meant to formally meet Wunmi’s family after she claimed to be pregnant.
According to him, the late singer initially planned to formalize the marriage but later called it off after alleging that Cynthia was unfaithful.
The father also revealed that these events prompted him to request a DNA test to confirm the child’s parentage.
“When my son was alive and Cynthia claimed to be pregnant, I felt it was necessary to meet her family properly. When we got to the venue, I saw a lot of the lady’s family members sitting there. We completed the introduction, and I met my son’s father-in-law for the first time. But I’m shocked to hear claims that a traditional wedding happened without my knowledge or even the presence of the family head. Who collected the bride price? He said he caught her with another man, informed his friend Myson and his elder sibling and mother, and then decided to tell me. That was why he called off the marriage plans.” He said
His statement adds clarity to the ongoing saga surrounding Mohbad’s personal life, and family concerns following his untimely death.
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has issued a stern warning to its members against posting negative content on social media that could tarnish the image of the Scheme or Nigeria.
Corps members were urged instead to use social media to positively reflect both the NYSC and the country.
The caution came from Brigadier GeneralOlakunle Nafiu, Director General of NYSC, on Friday while addressing the 2025 Batch C Corps members at the NYSC Delta State Orientation Camp in Issele-Uku.
A statement shared via the NYSC official X (Twitter) handle noted that any negative social media posts by Corps members would attract sanctions.
In addition to the social media warning, Brigadier General Nafiu advised members to avoid unauthorized travel, strictly follow camp instructions, and respect the cultural values of their host communities.
“Follow simple instructions, be obedient, go for your biometrics and your Community Development Service. Learn and respect the cultural values of your host communities and do not misrepresent us at your place of primary assignment.” He said
The Delta State Coordinator, Mr. John Kwaghe, presented a camp situation report, revealing that 2,101 Corps members 944 male and 1,157 female had been deployed to the state.
He noted that camp activities were progressing smoothly, with full participation from both officials and Corps members, who demonstrated a high level of discipline.
This directive follows a similar warning given by Brigadier General Nafiu to the 2025 Batch C Corps Members in Rivers State, where he urged them to uphold the core values of the NYSC patriotism, integrity, efficiency, transparency, and commitment throughout their service year and beyond.
A young lady has sparked mixed reactions online after sharing a message her father sent to their family group chat, expressing his frustration over the heavy use of slang and Pidgin English among family members.
In the lengthy text, her father raised concerns about what he described as the street, uneducated language style frequently used in the group.
He noted that many members of the family are graduates, yet their communication does not reflect the level of education they possess.
Emphasizing the need for change, he added that adopting coherent and grammatically correct language would better reflect the maturity and status of everyone in the group.
“There is one negative thing I have observed in the language style on this platform. The language style is usually that of street uneducated elements. Yet I know that most, if not all in the house, are graduates. Unfortunately, the language style herein does not reflect this truism. The need for a change have become imperative, a decideratum. Let coherent grammatical language style prevail to reflect maturity and status of members of the house. I come in peace.” His text read.
His message has since generated buzz online, with many amused by his formal tone, while others agreed that Pidgin and slang, though fun, can sometimes overshadow clear communication.
Bukayo Saka, Arsenal’s winger, has reportedly proposed to his long-term girlfriend, Tolami Benson.
According to reports, the proposal took place at a luxury hotel in London, a move that has delighted both fans and followers of the couple.
Saka and Benson, who are both age mates, have been in a relationship for around five years. Despite their shared history, they have largely kept their romance out of the public eye.
Their first widely observed appearance together was during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Over the years, they gradually became more comfortable showing support publicly.
For instance, Tolami Benson was seen cheering Saka on during Euro 2024, and earlier this year, the couple shared a pitch-side kiss after England’s draw with Slovenia, a moment that attracted significant attention.
Now, the pair are reportedly planning to spend the rest of their lives together.
Saka is said to have gone all out for the proposal, reportedly presenting Tolami with an absolutely enormous engagement ring during a special and intimate evening.
Below are some of the comments;
“Aww this is beautiful! Congrats to Bukayo and Tolami — wishing them a lifetime of love and happiness.”
“They’ve kept their relationship private for years, so it’s lovely to see them finally sharing this moment.”
“Can’t wait to see the wedding photos, these two are such a stunning couple.”
“Tolami has been supporting him through everything… this proposal was well deserved.”
A set of rules shared by new parents for guests visiting their newborn has sparked conversation, after the detailed guidelines surfaced on social media.
The couple, who recently welcomed a baby boy, put together a warm but firm note to help protect their infant’s health and comfort while ensuring visits remain positive and respectful.
In the message, the parents expressed excitement about family and friends meeting their little one, but emphasized that certain boundaries were necessary.
Guests are asked to use hand sanitizer immediately upon entry, and to avoid touching or kissing the baby’s cheeks and mouth.
They also made it clear that their son’s full name, Irewamiri, should be used, not ‘Ire,’ which they gently corrected in the list.
Another rule that caught attention was their request for visitors to speak in a normal, clear voice around the baby.
They discouraged exaggerated baby talk or sounds like ‘jigigijigi yigiyigi,’ explaining that they want their child to get used to hearing regular speech patterns.
The parents further noted that they were not seeking unsolicited advice about raising their baby, stating they already had a strong support system.
They also asked guests to avoid shaking the baby’s hands or touching his ears, prioritizing the infant’s comfort and safety.
Despite the firmness of some rules, the note ended on a warm and appreciative tone, thanking guests for understanding and expressing joy at the chance for loved ones to bond with their newborn.
The list has generated mixed reactions online, while some users agreed with the new parents, others debated how much structure is appropriate for visiting a newborn.
A UK-based lady has packed her bags and moved back to Nigeria to start life afresh with a man she met on social media seven years ago.
In a video on TikTok, she captured her heartfelt journey from boarding her flight out of the United Kingdom to the emotional moment she reunited with her long-time Nigerian lover, who has now become her husband.
The clip shows her excitement and relief as she finally closes the distance after years of friendship and online connection.
Sharing her story, she wrote “Packed my bags back to Nigeria to start life afresh with the man I met on social media seven years ago. This is home, this is whom I yearn for, and I am glad that the journey to forever has begun. Seven years as friends and forever as partners!”
The lady further revealed in the comment section that she has no intention of returning to the UK.
She said she has fully embraced her new identity as a wife, having already celebrated a traditional marriage ceremony and proudly taking on the name Mrs. Salome Efe.
Her bold and emotional decision has sparked mixed reactions online, with many viewers describing her story as a testament to modern-day romance one that shows how love, patience, and conviction can truly bring people home.
Controversial content creator Izzy Ogbeide has sparked reactions on social media after she mentioned in a video that children are neither blessings nor gifts from God.
The mother of three, known for her outspoken views, described children instead as an expensive subscription.
In the clip, Izzy argued that although society often refers to children as blessings, the reality is that they come with enormous responsibilities that many parents struggle to handle.
She maintained that children are created by their parents’ actions and not handed down by God, like many claim.
Izzy went on to highlight the financial and emotional demands of raising children, noting that parents often underestimate the level of sacrifice involved.
She listed expenses such as swimming lessons, football training, feeding, and daily needs as obligations that weigh heavily on families, especially those already battling financial hardship.
According to her, the struggles many parents face contradict the idea that children are divine gifts.
She claimed that if God truly sent children as blessings, parents would naturally be equipped with the resources needed to care for them without struggle.
“Children are not blessings, and they are not from God. Yes, I don’t care if you believe it or not. Children are from you, not God. They are not gifts. Children are an expensive subscription you can’t return or cancel. Children are what you make, they come from your hard work, not from God. What comes from God is something you don’t merit or work for. The Bible even says the blessing of the Lord adds no sorrow. Children bring responsibility, stress, and bills, so they are something you create. Do you know there are people who can’t even feed their children? They have to beg before their kids eat. If children were truly from God, He would first bless the parents, whether they work or not, before giving them children. You don’t get it? or do you want me to speak in tongues before you understand?” She said
A Nigerian mum has sparked amusement online after revealing that her young daughter failed her Christian Religious Studies (CRS) exam for confidently saying that Jesus was born in Nigeria.
The little girl, who reportedly performed excellently in all her other subjects, missed only one CRS question, the one asking where Jesus was born.
Instead of answering Bethlehem, she boldly relocated the biblical birthplace to Nigeria.
In the viral TikTok video shared by her mother, the woman is seen quizzing her daughter at home to understand what went wrong.
The child answered several biblical questions correctly, showing she had a solid grasp of the subject.
However, when her mother asked again where Jesus was born, the girl confidently replied, Jesus was born in Nigeria, repeating the same answer that got her marked down in the test.
Her mother burst into laughter, joking that her daughter had relocated Jesus from Bethlehem to Lagos, a remark that has entertained many online.
The video has drawn different remarks from Nigerians who found the child’s confidence both adorable and hilarious.
Below are some of the comments;
“The confidence is unmatched! This baby really said Jesus is a Nigerian citizen.”
“She answered everything else correctly but carried Jesus to Lagos”
“Maybe she meant Jesus was born in her heart. Teacher no suppose mark that one wrong na.”
A young Nigerian woman working in Egypt has expressed her frustration after her brother rejected the ₦50,000 she sent to support his wife’s medical treatment.
According to her, he insisted on a higher amount, stating that he expected between ₦500,000 and ₦1 million simply because she lives abroad.
The woman, who is the youngest of seven children, said her brother contacted her urgently to request financial assistance for his wife’s hospital bills, so she sent the amount she could afford.
However, her brother reportedly dismissed the support, assuming she had access to substantial funds due to her relocation outside Nigeria.
Sharing her ordeal, the woman explained that she works in Cairo as a house help, earning about ₦230,000 a month.
She revealed that she sleeps in her employer’s kitchen, where her belongings are also stored, and has been struggling to save after recently completing repayment of the debt owed to the person who sponsored her travel.
“I came from a family of seven, and I’m the last. My brother’s wife got sick, and he pleaded that he needed money to take her to the hospital. I sent this man ₦50,000. He said he was expecting between ₦500,000 and ₦1 million. Where do I wan see am? Dem think say as I dey abroad I dey see money. Na just Egypt I dey. I dey Cairo dey do househelp. I’m sleeping in the kitchen; my bags are in the kitchen. The money dey tree I dey pluck am? The worst part of it is that someone sponsored me here and I just finished paying,” she said.
