Nollywood Actress, Charity Nnaji has said there’s nothing wrong in a woman flaunting her body.
According to the mother-of-three, any woman who doesn’t flaunt her endowments must be trying to conceal a flaw in her body.
The thespian said this during a chat with Vanguard, she said: “As an entertainer, it is not wrong to flaunt one’s gifts of nature. Yes, a woman should flaunt her endowments.
To me, I feel if you don’t showcase what you have that means there is something wrong with your body that you don’t want the public to see.
While most men believe in what they see women tend to believe what they hear. So, let’s show them what they want to see.”

Popular Nollywood Star, Chioma Grace Ifemeludike has taken to her social media page to reveal the reason she no longer pays tithes.
According to the thespian, Pastors don’t share refreshments on Sundays and it doesn’t sit well with her.
She however stated that she’d resume paying tithes when the pastors use the proceeds to provide food and healthcare to congregants.
In her words ;
I will start paying tithe again when pastors use tithe money to provide food and healthcare to congregants as instructed in Malachi 3;8-10… How can you use that verse to manipulate people to pay up, but then you refuse to play your part as instructed in same verse… The economy gets worse by the day, government has failed woefully and the church won’t even support their members. Every Sunday long sermon, no reaching out, no rice , no soft drinks, not even common pure water to cool down the spirit… MBA! I no pay again, I’d rather visit hospitals, motherless homes, children on the streets etc to share my tithe… our God does not promote hunger and poverty, Even Christ provided food when he was on earth.
until pastors start obeying malachi 3:10, my tithes will go to the poor on the street!!!

Ubi is a father of four children from four different mothers and it has sometimes caused controversy for him but he’s now sent a message to his critics.
His post below ;
I received in my 34 years on earth.
You can abuse me and call me all sort of names because I had them from four beautiful and brilliant women.
I might not have the best relationship with some of them, marriage crashed with one, this doesn’t make me a bad person.
Many have had abortions, had several boyfriends or girlfriends you don’t know about. You know about Mine because I am a public figure.
This might be my own battle, what battle are you fighting or struggling with in private?
Just always pray to God.
I would have since taken my life if I didn’t have these children.
When you talk to Ariella at 15 months she loves food and when you don’t give her she warns you, very beautiful to watch her do that.
Zaneta is a power ranger , she doesn’t like food, like her daddy,
Jayden is a Daddy’s boy, he doesn’t like leaving when he comes to visit, he calls me by my name “ubi” and when he needs something he calls me daddy.
Shiloh beautiful bow legs and cute eyes will get you addicted.
This and many more I enjoy from fatherhood.
I appreciate their mothers for the great work they are doing caring for them in my absence.
We might not always agree on everything.
Thank you for everything.
No amount to pressure will make me ever call any of You out on social media for people who have issues they don’t share to consume.
Hold tight and may God Bless and protect my children and their mothers.
Amen.
recieved in my 34 years on earth ♥️ You can abuse me and call me all sort of names because I had them from four beautiful and brilliant women. I might not have the best relationship with some of them, marriage crashed with one, this doesn’t make me a bad person.

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.
Speaking in a telephone conversation with Saturday Beats, Maria dared Duncan Mighty to provide evidence to back his claims.
She said,
“This 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 don’t want to get involved in all this. When he is done, he would clear himself.
“I do not live with them and I cannot leave my father’s house to go and inherit another man’s property. I don’t understand why he said those things. He said he is the only child but I know he is not. His mother has other children.
“He 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?
“Everybody, 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.
“We don’t 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.”

“Yes 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.
“And his mother, my mother, everybody, just freaked out. No! When I became successful he was like, ‘Didn’t I tell you? Me that went through that experiment I know it was very risky.”
Femi revealed although he was not privileged to be formally educated, he ensured his son, Made studied music abroad.

Cossy, who got engaged in August 2020 to her German lover, Abel Jürgen Wilhem, said in the interview,
“I have always wanted to have a child at an older age because my mum had us when she was young, we all grew and left her. So, I didn’t want that for myself.
Now, I have seen that man that I want to have baby for. Even if I can’t, I’ll 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 fiancé 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.”

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: “I 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.
“I 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.”
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.

“Why on earth do people address private issues (be it business, relationships etc) on Social???.”
“What sort of foolishness is this? Please do not like forward or send mean and wicked messages you see online.”
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, ‘Baby Chu Chu’.
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, “I’m 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 happen― lies and things one is not ready for. Nobody would want to leave a peaceful marriage but once it is not peaceful, one wouldn’t want to stay there. I wouldn’t advise anyone to be in an abusive marriage or a marriage that is not helping one’s mental status.”
Contrary to what some may have thought, the actress of Ebonyi State origins maintained that her first marriage was not abusive.
She said, “The 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 one’s best friend; somebody one could tell everything.
I don’t know how to hide things and I would not want to get married to a man I wouldn’t 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, one’s kid, one’s 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 don’t 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.”
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 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 ;
Togolese Footballer, Emmanuel Adebayor, has spilled some dirty secrets on why his relationship with one-time Big Brother Africa winner, Dilish Matthews ended.
The former Arsenal and Real Madrid forward accused his Namibian ex-girlfriend of being a cheat and liar who is sponsored by a ”rich uncle” and sleeps in one country but wakes up in another country.

Below are the posts he shared on his Instagram stories ;
Singer, Duncan Mighty has continued to make wide allegations against his wife, Vivien.
In a fresh post shared on his Instagram page on Friday night, December 4, Duncan accused Vivien of infidelity and also alleged that their daughter, Mitchell, isn’t his. He said a DNA test has shown that Mitchell isn’t his daughter.
This comes hours after he called Vivien and her family members out, accusing them of planning to inflict him with an ailment and taking over his properties. Read here.
His new post reads;
Mr FRANK is brights best friend whom is responsible for taking them to the highest and most powerful JuJu. FRANK and Bright are the fathers of Mitchell as DNA has proven me negative.
On the 24th of Nov 2015 five days after ICon was born i gifted vivian a car that night she accessed my phone and saw a N100m credit from the mallam i sold pounds to, she said to me what’s the money for? 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
If woman kill you even hellfire go reject you.
