Big Brother Naija 2017 housemate, Gifty Powers, has berated those who stalk her page but never engages when she shares photos of her beautiful kids.

According to the mother-of-two, the aforementioned behavior is tantamount to that of a Demon.

In her words ;

• If I post any of my two beautiful and blessed kids picture and you don’t tap on the love symbol, KNOW THAT YOU ARE A DISGUISED WITCH.

• If you monitor my page, and you feel disgusted or irritated by any of my beautiful kid’s picture, KNOW THAT YOU ARE A DEMON.

• Lastly, If you have a grudge against me and you try putting it on my kids, know that you will rot in HELLFIRE.
I know people with fake accounts will display their stupidity here .

IF YOU DON’T LIKE MY CAPTION, YOU ARE POSSESSED
REPENT!!!!
FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND!!

Actress, ChaCha Eke Faani has finally put to bed a bouncing baby girl.

The actress put to in the evening of Saturday, 24th of April.

Confirming the news on her page, she wrote; “Beloved, Our Baby Is Here ”

While her Husband wrote; “I AM THE ONE THE LORD HAS TREMENDOUSLY BLESSED. The Almighty continues to increase us on every side. Thank you God for coloring our world with the arrival of our 4th Baby. Welcome home DIAMOND KANDILICHUKWU FAANI. 24th April 2021. I love you my little Queen. Your coming has blessed my soul and favoured our family greatly.”

It would be recalled that the actress had a break down some weeks ago when she shared a video of herself crying and begging to quit her marriage.

This was later followed by an apology to the public while revealing that she suffers from bipolar dysfunction.

The thespian has obviously moved on from the momentary emotional outburst as she looks flawless in the new photos.

Chacha, who appears to be very close to her delivery date, shared the photos and described it as her “Bloom season”. Her husband and her kids also featured in some of the beautiful portraits.

Popular crossdresser, James Brown has revealed the arduous path he trailed before he became a popular figure in the Nigerian entertainment industry.

The self-acclaimed “Princess of Africow” shared this in a video he shared on his Instagram page, while addressing people who think he became famous out of the blues.

According to him, he went to Ikoyi Prison, packed and ate human faeces for a whole month. He described it an unpleasant experience for him and went on to warn those who claim they were instrumental to his rise to fame.

He said:

“People don’t know this about me. They believe that I just woke up one day and went viral, My dear do you know I went to Ikoyi Prison to become popular”

Nigerians have reacted to a video of Prophet Odumeje threatening to deal with those who mock and accuse him of staging miracles.

In the video shared by popular Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie, the man of God could be heard sounding a note of warning to those accusing him of doing fake miracles.

In his words,

“To those of you saying what you don’t know about me and my family, the lion, I will settle you.”

“No one can stop me when i start a fight”

Nigerians took to the comment section to react to the threats, and they cited “fear of Kidney disease” as the reason they would no longer say anything negative about the clergyman.

Promzy wrote ;

If not for my kidney who are you and odumeje that I can’t drag

Tiana wrote ;

Hmmmmm, o lagbara ooo….if men were God, everyone go don die finish……it is well with us

Judith wrote ; I dnt want to comment any cos i dnt joke with my kidneys

Kriston wrote ; I don’t condemn anybody, people should learn from Ada Jesus ordeal…don’t say what your not sure of, mind your tongue. It can kill. Saying it and later asking for forgiveness, prevention is always better than cure. Let’s all be careful.

Nollywood actress, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has shared her thoughts about marriage, and she said any lady who is not financially stable should not consider marriage because she is automatically preparing herself to be imprisoned in the union.

Speaking in a recent interview with BBC Yoruba, the actress said ;

“One must apply wisdom or common sense in everything one does. People cannot say that because I married at 18, therefore they can also do it. The question is, ‘are you ready for marriage’? When I was 18, I was ready. I had been working since I was 15-year-old and I had become a millionaire at the age of 18. That is a fact that a lot of people don’t know.

I had my own money. I was not dependent on any man. Moreover, my father died early, so I was already responsible for my younger siblings. I was like their mother at that time, so I was very mature and financially prepared.

One should not marry a man when one is not financially stable. If one does that, one would be going into slavery or better still, prison. If any of my children, after considering all these factors, say they are ready for marriage, we (parents) would meet the person and if we like them, we would give them our blessings.”

Nollywood actress Abiodun Adebimpe Akintunde has reacted to the ongoing scandal with her colleague, Baba Ijesha, and she’s called for fairness before Judgement.

Recall that Nollywood actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka popularly known as Baba Ijesha was caught on CCTV camera assaulting a fourteen-year-old girl and it has been alleged that he has raped her for the past 7-years.

While others are condemning the actor for the act, the actress has asked that Nigerians should take it easy condemning him until proven guilty.

She wrote ;

“I am NOT supporting Baba Ijesha and I can never support a case of rape. I am a woman and I have a daughter and sisters, I will never pray we get molested.
What I am saying is, CANCEL CULTURE shouldn’t be the first approach to allegations.
HEAR FROM BOTH PARTIES and most importantly, social media isn’t a court of law.
THE EAGERNESS TO SPREAD NEGATIVE NEWS ABOUT CELEBRITIES is a CANCER in Nigeria”.

A Nigerian man whose sister-in-law, Dorathy Yohanna, is among the three Greenfield University students killed by bandits, took to his Twitter page to pen an emotional letter to Presidential aide, Tolu Ogunlesi.

The man, Yamai, with the Twitter handle, @ydcoal, said his mother-in-law has been unable to eat or even take a shower since Dorathy was abducted on Tuesday April 20.

Read below ;

”Hi @toluogunlesi, my sister-in-law was among the 3 dead students found today from Greenfield University. We are all trying to unpack our feelings. People’s children have become sports for bandits & kidnappers.

I know you get a lot of stick on here And I know you get; people are angry. I’m very angry right now because there’s just so much I don’t understand anymore. What’s the purpose of life as a Nigerian? What’s the sole responsibility of a government for/to the people?

I’m marginalised as a Christian in my state. I go elsewhere and I’m being stereotyped. Today, my sister is dead. I can not, for the life of me, imagine what she went thru in the hands of these evil men before her untimely death. Can you? How do I comfort my wife?

How can a mother bury her child? What’s the purpose of thoughts & prayers? Do we deserve to live and die like this in our own country? Do you understand why some of us choose to be “slaves” elsewhere than “kings” at home?

No jokes here… The pain is unbearable. Everyone deserves the benefit of doubt, but do you think this government still deserves any? I need answers. They still have 20 more kids with some to be killed tomorrow if they don’t get what they’d asked for.

Where do we go from here Tolu? Do we worry about tomorrow? Do we believe in a fair, just and righteous God? My mother-in-law hasn’t eaten or showered in 3 days since her daughter, whom she saw on Monday, got kidnapped & this death was the answer to her prayers.

You’re not the president, I know, but please talk to your boss. The evil we do or our negligence surely does come around one way or the other. That’s the circle of life. Do something!! Bless you!!”

Hi @toluogunlesi, my sister-in-law was among the 3 dead students found today from Greenfield University. We are all trying to unpack our feelings. People’s children have become sports for bandits & kidnappers. I know you get a lot of stick on here…
