Today is the 15th anniversary of my accident, the Sosoliso plane crash of 2005.
Every year on this day, I rededicate my life to the promise I made, to live for those who passed away that day, especially my school mates, the 60 Angels, and their loved ones they left behind so suddenly.
This year, many of us had plans that were derailed, hopes that were crushed… loved ones that were lost. This year, I am harshly reminded that life and death are 2 sides of the same coin, and that it is truly through God’s grace that we are on this side of the coin right now.
Today, I am extremely humbled by the simple gift of life and health.
As I continue to live for myself, for the angels and for their loved ones, I will also live with the intent to appreciate every new day as it comes, and to truly live in the present.

Recall the crossdresser and actress recently fought dirty online after Bobrisky took on Nkechi Blessing alongside Ka3na for berating a fan who got his name tattooed on his body.

The dispute between Bob and Nkechi became so serious after a social media user took to the comment section of Nkechi’s apology post and wrote “the fear of Bobrisky.” In response to the comment, Nkechi said that both the fan and Bobrisky are crazy.
Nkechi’s response led to the trading of words between the two but they have now buried the hatchet as they were spotted dancing together at a mutual friend’s daughter’s birthday party.
Friends and onlookers that surrounded them at the gathering sprayed them money and continued to cheer them on as they moved together on the dance floor
See the video below ;
A Twitter user has shared a video of a man who sat beside her in a public transport vehicle, caught masturbating.
The lady who filmed him while he was at it, revealed that the said man was using his elbows to touch her inappropriately.
“You know you can stop what you’re doing and do it when you get home, you hear?”, the lady could be heard in the video, as she called him out.
The man immediately removed his hand from his trousers after he realized he had been caught.
While their journey continued, the lady says she noticed the said man was looking into her phone and asked him to stop.
Angered by this, the man attacked her and almost beat her up.
In the video, the woman is heard calling him out for masturbating in the bus and he replied: “My body is my body. If I’m even doing anything, it’s none of your business.”
The verbal exchange soon escalated and the man hit her with his elbow and threatened to slap her, but a male passenger intervened.
So here’s what happened. I noticed his elbow was resting on my body, which made me uncomfortable cause the back seat wasn’t so crowded for 3 people for his body to be touching mine!
Then I noticed his Bag & his other hand movement & started recording incase he tried to deny.
After calling him out! He stopped. And I Ignored him for the rest of the trip till he started looking into my phone while i was texting, which made me really uncomfortable!
Then I told him He shouldn’t look at me or my phone and that was where the problem started.
Now that I’m calm, I guess I escalated the matter for myself when I couldn’t just stay calm. Still! It doesn’t give anyone the right to wank in public.
I sha told him to Carry his Penis and Jerk off in the middle of the road since he feels its his Body & He’s Right.
That was where Baba grabbed my wrist and was ready to beat the daylight out of me! Thank God for the people that saved me sha! I wished they would have spoken up though…
Maybe I wouldn’t have been beaten if One of those men stood up to him
But Ladies and Gentlemen! I’m fine! Thanks for all the Love and Sorries Red heartRed heart. I pray you never experience this! I just wanted to share my Experience…

Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Lamidi Olayiwola, two days ago, trended on Social media after the news of his marriage to a 13th wife, identified as Chioma was broke on the internet.
The King had had made the appearance at the installation ceremony of Chief Tomori Williams as the Aare Onikoyi of Yorubaland, a ceremony which took place at his Palace in Oyo State last weekend and was graced by prominent people in the society.
It was reported that it was the first time he had stepped out with his newest wife, Chioma.
However, after the news started making round, photos of a lady identified as Nwadike Chioma, quickly started trending as the new wife of Oba Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi III with claims that she had dumped her fiance to marry the 82-year-old traditional ruler.
Nwadike Chioma has now taken to her Social media to react to false reports. According to her, she is not the Alaafin’s new wife as her pictures have been falsely tied to that of the Alaafin’s.
Read her full statement below;
My name is Chioma Nwadike, yesterday, being the 12th day of march 2021, my attention was drawn to online media posts making rounds of my “marriage” allegedly to the Alaafin of Oyo as his 13th wife. Recall that about a day or two ago the news that the Alaafin had allegedly taken a 13th wife whose name happened to be Chioma was on social media, which news I read as well.
It is rather pathetic that yesterday the 12th day of March 2021, I discovered that my photos were attached to the marriage news of the Alaafin and has since been heavily publicized by blogs and news pages across various social media platforms. I trended wrongly on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, as I was taken out to be a person who left her husband to be the Alaafin’s 13th wife. These false posts are all over the Internet and have amassed an unquantifiable number of views by Nigerians, including my friends, family and business associates.
However, at the risk of not joining issues with these bloggers who have already achieved their nefarious aim of bringing my name to disrepute, I am putting out this statement, categorically debunking these rumors to be false, unfounded and malicious as this is clearly the work of mischief makers, who would stop at nothing to malign my image.
The person in the picture is my estranged husband from a failed marriage, the aftermath of which, I am still suffering till today. These past few months have been a turbulent ride for me, evident by this current false news and defamatory posts. I have also despite this instant news, received other numerous defamatory posts/comments on my Facebook account, people have sent private inbox messages to my friends, and even fake social media accounts have been created to troll and harass me, which made me deactivate my Facebook page, just so I can have a semblance of peace. Sadly, reasons for these acts, merely orchestrated to malign and dent my image remains inexplicable to me.
It is rather unfathomable as to why I am being singled out to be diminished in the eyes of Nigerians even whilst still going through the emotional and painful rigors of an extremely messy divorce proceeding, which is still pending in court and wherein my estranged husband and his Lawyers have applied every dilatory tactic to stall the conclusion of the case for reasons I wouldn’t want to state now.
Regrettably, these false and rather demeaning publications have now perturbed and created an unnecessarily traumatic environment amongst my family, friends and colleagues who found it very hard to harbor the believe that I purportedly jilted my estranged husband in order to marry the Alaafin of Oyo.
To all those who have worked tirelessly since yesterday to help debunk this unfounded news making waves in the social media space in whatever way they can, I am eternally grateful for believing in me and protecting my vulnerabilities as a Nigerian woman, who is prone to ridicule and shame to the highest bidders.
I am consulting with my Lawyers, who will, in due course, commence appropriate legal actions.
