Maria Nwakanma, the sister-in-law to Duncan Mighty, has debunked allegations that the popular singer’s wife is plotting to kill him and take over his property.
Recall that the singer recently took to social media to share a secret-spilling post in which he accused his wife and her family of allegedly conniving to kill him.
Speaking in a telephone conversation with Saturday Beats, Maria dared Duncan Mighty to provide evidence to back his claims.
She said,
âThis is a family matter because my younger sister is married to him. There are children involved, so there are things I cannot talk about. About his claims on social media, my mother, sister, and I only have a love for him.
Whatever he is saying about my family, he is on his own. We donât want to get involved in all this. When he is done, he would clear himself.
âI do not live with them and I cannot leave my fatherâs house to go and inherit another manâs property. I donât understand why he said those things. He said he is the only child but I know he is not. His mother has other children.
âHe also has children outside wedlock, so where is my stake in his property. He has been deleting comments by people who know him. He should stop removing those comments. Would a reasonable person air their family issues in public?
âEverybody, including his wife, Vivian, are okay. She has children to take care of. He took the boy because that is the only son he has.
âWe donât want to join issues with him. Let him post his evidence, so the truth would prevail. The truth cannot be hidden. You cannot cover a lie forever.â

According to him, though father was great, he had his faults, one of which was his refusal to send him to school, an experiment he believes was very risky.
In his words,
âYes Fela was great. But Fela did have faults. But one of the faults is that Fela wanted to use me as an experiment. His excuse was that I would be successful without going to school.
âAnd his mother, my mother, everybody, just freaked out. No! When I became successful he was like, âDidnât I tell you? Me that went through that experiment I know it was very risky.â
Femi revealed although he was not privileged to be formally educated, he ensured his son, Made studied music abroad.

Now, I have seen that man that I want to have baby for. Even if I canât, Iâll use a surrogate. I am ready for marriage and would be getting married soon.
I had always wanted someone that would be crazy about me even after knowing that I am controversial. I had dated someone that the mum stormed my house to warn me that her son would never marry me. I felt bad.
My fiancĂŠ is so crazy about me. I dared him to tattoo my name on his body and he did more than five places. He also added a poem tattoo on his body for me. His parents are late, same as mine, so we are cool.â

Meanwhile, the full list of nominees for the 2020 Headies Award was released on the evening of Friday, December 4, 2020.
The Chief of Army Staff, (COAS) Lt. General Tukur Burutai, has said that nobody was killed during the End SARS protest at Lekki toll gate, contrary to several eye witness accounts and media reports.
Buratai maintained that there was no corpse recovered from the night of Tuesday October 20 at the Lekki toll gate in Lagos.
The Army chief who spoke at the decoration of 39 newly promoted Major Generals on Friday in Abuja, stressed that those claiming protesters were killed were seeing double.
He said: âI am glad that we held the Spiritual Warfare Seminar on Wednesday and most of the decorated Generals today are graduates of the Spiritual Warfare Seminar.
âI must say that the Spiritual Warfare Seminar we had last time, helped us during the last #EndSARS protest to the extent that there was no single corpse, but some persons were seeing double at Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos State.â
Military officers were reported to have opened fire on peaceful protesters at the toll gate, leading to multiple injuries and over a dozen deaths.
Nigerian DJ, Obianuju Catherine Udeh, also known as DJ Switch, had alleged that soldiers shot and killed some of the people protesting at Lekki toll gate.
The Army, after initially denying the presence of soldiers at the toll gate, later admitted that military men were at the venue of the protest but did not kill anybody.
Nollywood actress, Monalisa Chinda has come for people bringing their private issues to social media to address.
The actress described the move as âfoolishnessâ and made an appeal to her followers not to âlike, forward or send mean and wicked messagesâ they see online.
Taking to her Instagram story, she wrote:
âWhy on earth do people address private issues (be it business, relationships etc) on Social???.â
âWhat sort of foolishness is this? Please do not like forward or send mean and wicked messages you see online.â
Popular Nigerian Actress and singer, Angela Okorie, has said she does not intend to get married again.
Recall that some months ago, there had been rumours that she was engaged to a young lover. But it turned out that the pictures that went viral then were from a music video for her new song, âBaby Chu Chuâ.
In an Instagram Live session with her fans, the mother of one stated that she was scared of entering into matrimony with another man.
She said, âIâm so scared about marriage right now because I have once tasted it and I know what it feels like. I do not want to get myself into any marriage, then get divorced again. Nobody plans to get married and divorce their spouse but issues happenâ lies and things one is not ready for. Nobody would want to leave a peaceful marriage but once it is not peaceful, one wouldnât want to stay there. I wouldnât advise anyone to be in an abusive marriage or a marriage that is not helping oneâs mental status.â
Contrary to what some may have thought, the actress of Ebonyi State origins maintained that her first marriage was not abusive.
She said, âThe man I got married to was not a bad man. He was a very nice guy with a good heart. But, he had his own problems that he needed to fix. It is not only about being nice; there are many things that come with marriage. One just has to marry oneâs best friend; somebody one could tell everything.
I donât know how to hide things and I would not want to get married to a man I wouldnât be able to talk to; or a man that would criticise my dressing. He should understand that I am a celebrity and that the person he is married to is outspoken.
The best decision is for anybody to get married to a spouse who loves one, oneâs kid, oneâs job, and is always praying for one to get to the next level. Some people could be very possessive. They could tell you their family is a royal one and because of that, they limit the types of role you could play in movies. You cannot marry a career woman and keep her in the house.
If you want to get married to someone, you should love what they do and invest in it. If you invest in your spouse and show them a lot of love, I donât think any woman would cheat on such a man, except the stupid ones. I never cheated on my man though I meet different men and they ask me out every time.â

Popular Nigerian singer, Simi, was engaged in a funny Twitter exchange with a follower who said she’s supposed to be singing in heaven.
The fan was probably overwhelmed by the beautiful voice Simi has been blessed with and he posted a compliment that seemed out of context.
The fan wrote ;
Simi is one of the singers that are suppose to be in Heaven singing.
Hallelujah to God, cause this world don’t deserve that voice.
”Singing in heaven” might have a darker meaning because Simi would have to leave this earth get to heaven and the tweet got the attention of the mother-of-one and she replied ;
Please oh I’m not complaining oh. I’m ok here oh
Please oh I'm not complaining oh. I'm ok here oh https://t.co/pNUk7zLdL9

I said am building a television station to make Portharcourt intertainment industry come alive, she hugged me and said you are just too humble.
11months later they went to the first juju house and spent 1m which was used to build a hidden shrine, the existence of this hidden shrine is to hide everything they’re doing should incase anyone tries to find out spiritually the person will see another face and not theirs.
The most important thing is neutralize DUNCANS POWERS, Which requires Frank and bright to have sex with vivian, the mom will be responsible for buring the charm and Maria is responsible for feeding the shrine then in exactly 4yrs time DUNCAN will get sick and die. But GOD failed them as that attempt resulted to the pregnancy of MITCHELL.
Now the 4yrs has come to pass DUNCAN MIGHTY is still not a SAMSON all failed and the main reason am exposing this Evil is because Mitchell’s life is in danger as they are planning to kill Mitchell for the truth not to prevail,, #asamandontkeepyoursefempty

Recall that Kanye released his first Christian-themed album, Jesus is King in 2019.
In 2020, Kanye West has been named Billboardâs Top Gospel Artist of 2020 and is also the Top Male Christian artiste.
According to Billboard, Kanye beat out other top gospel artiste, Kirk Franklin at No. 2, Tasha Cobbs Leonard at No. 3, Sunday Service Choir at No. 4, Travis Greene at No. 5, Marvin Sapp at No. 6, Kierra Sheard at No. 7, Koryn Hawthorne at No. 8, Maverick City Music at No. 9, and Jonathan McReynolds at No. 10.
As for Top Male Gospel Artist, Kanye beat out Kirk Franklin who sits at No. 2, Travis Green at No. 3, Marvin Sapp at No. 4, and Jonathan McReynolds at No. 5.
The report reads,
“Westâs 2019 album, his first spiritual-themed set, Jesus Is King, opened atop Top Gospel Albums, Top Christian Albums, and the all-genre Billboard 200.
“In its opening week on the Nov. 9, 2019, dated lists, the set earned 264,000 equivalent album units, the biggest week ever for a faith-based album. Since its arrival, Jesus Is King has spent more than a year at No. 1 and is the No. 1 album on the Top Gospel Albums year-end tally.
“The No. 2 Christian Album of 2020 also comes from Westâs world. Jesus Is Born, credited to the Sunday Service Choir (with production by West), finishes in the runner-up position.
“After just a day-and-a-half of tracking, Jesus Is Born entered Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart (dated Jan. 4, 2020) at No. 2 starting with 6,000 equivalent album units earned (3,000 in album sales) in the week ending Dec. 26, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.
“Jesus Is Born peaked at No. 2 on Top Gospel Albums, not making it to the summit only because Westâs own Jesus Is King LP was dominating at No. 1. Sunday Service Choir is also the leading gospel group of 2020.
“Meanwhile, the lead track on Jesus Is King, âFollow God,â is the No. 1 song of the year on Hot Gospel Songs, which is powered by streaming, airplay and sales. âFollow Godâ has spent more than 40 weeks at No. 1. Concurrently, it is the No. 1 song on the year-end Gospel Streaming Songs list and No. 2 on Gospel Digital Song Sales.

It reigned for eight weeks on the former and two frames on the latter. Itâs also the No. 1 song of 2020 on Gospel Digital Song Sales.”
