Controversial OAP, Daddy Freeze aired his opinion surrounding embattled veteran singer, 9ice’ cheating scandal that went viral.
According to Freeze, it’s the nature of men to cheat, so his wife needs to work with him if 9ice is willing to be open with her.
Freeze’ reaction is coming after 9ice apologized to his wife for cheating on her.
Read as he said during an IG live video;
“First things first, 9ice is 100% wrong in my opinion, don’t cheat on a woman. When cheating happens, I will never share the blame between a man and a woman. The blame of cheating, lies a 100% in the hands of the man. However, when it comes to preventing cheating, there is a job of both the man and the woman, because men by default like to cheat. When you know that something is in someone’s blood, it is also your duty to have to understand this”.
Nigerian music executive, Soso Soberekon, has claimed that men are generally not stingy but only spend on what/who they love.
According to the business mogul, the only reason why a man wouldn’t spend on his lover is because he is either broke or doesn’t love her enough as he professes.
He added that no man is stingy when it comes to the women or things they love, hence if your man is wealthy and still doesn’t spoil you with luxurious things then he doesn’t love you.
His post reads:
NO MAN IS STINGY. IT’S EITHER HE IS BROKE OR HE DOESN’T LOVE YOU. MEN SPEND ON WHAT THEY LOVE.

The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, has stated the current recession faced by the country at the moment will only last for a short period of time.
Ahmed said this on Monday at the ongoing 26th Nigerian Economic Summit organised by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group and the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget, and National Planning.
She said the country would emerge from the recession in the fourth quarter of this year or by the first quarter of 2021.
Nigeria, Africa’s biggest economy, entered its second recession in five years in the third quarter of this year as the Gross Domestic Product fell for the second consecutive quarter.
The GDP dropped by 3.62 per cent in Q3 and 6.10 per cent in Q2, according to the National Bureau of Statistics.
The finance minister said the COVID-19-induced recession followed the pattern across the world where many countries had entered an economic recession.
“Let me remind us that before the impact of COVID-19, the Nigerian economy was experiencing sustained growth, which had been improving quarter by quarter until the second quarter of 2020, when the impact of the COVID-19 was felt,” she said.
Ahmed said other countries also in recession, including the United Kingdom and the United States, recorded much deeper contraction than that of Nigeria.
“Nigeria is not alone in this, but I will say that Nigeria has outperformed all of these economies in terms of the record of a negative growth.”
According to her, South Africa, which recorded a decline of -50 per cent compared to Nigeria’s -6.1 per cent in Q2, will also record a deeper negative growth in Q3.
Ahmed said, “While the economy has entered into recession in the third quarter, the trend of the growth suggests that this will be a short-lived recession, and indeed by the fourth or, at worst, the first quarter of 2021, the country will exit recession.
“Our expectation of a quick exit, which will be historically fast, is anchored on the several complementary fiscal, real sector and monetary interventions that have been proactively introduced by government to forestall a far worse decline of the economy and alleviate the negative consequences of the pandemic.”
A better time, the most anticipated album of the year after Wizkid’s “Made in Lagos”, has received its fair share of criticism and appraisal since its official release.
Music icon, David Adeleke professionally known as Davido dropped his 3rd-studio album on November 13, weeks after his 3 months break from social media and it has garnered millions of streams across platforms.
The album came almost a year after his 2nd studio album, “A good time” which was released on the 22nd of November 2019, about seven years after he released his debut album, Omo Baba Olowo, in 2012 and three years after his deput EP, Son of Mercy in 2016.
The popular superstar, Davido seems to have a stint for the number “17” as he replicated the number of tracks on his sophomore album on his new album, which came off as an overkill for me.
The 17-track album heavily featured notable artistes in the Nigerian and international music scene, like Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Lil Baby, Tiwa Savage, Nas and others. While some of the featured tracks were amazing, the others were absolutely unnecessary, Davido shouldn’t have to feature an artist simply because he has the access.
The track “birthday cake” featuring Hitboy and Nas was an epic fail for me and should have been omitted from the album. The featured artistes are legendary American rappers for Pete’s sake and it sucks that they couldn’t produce an above average project, in my opinion.
Kenyan singer, Sauti Sol is an incredible artiste and has worked with several Nigerian singers, however, the track ‘on my way’ didn’t mirror the kind of energy expected of him. Although, it isn’t a total miss, it is not a pass either.
At this point, you might begin to think I am too critical of the album and the artiste did a terrific job to pull it off within limited time.
So moving away from the negatives, Davido was astounding on this project as the tracks transcended different music taste.
‘FEM’, the opening song of the album was the first track to be released and had become a street anthem and protest song for the #EndSARS campaign before the release of the album. The line “I dey live my life, man dem turn am to shoot on sight” specifically stood out as it indirectly relates with the cause, even though it was unintentional.
The excellent international collaborations on the album were A holy ground with Nicki Minaj, and Shopping Spree ft Chris Brown & Young Thug.
DMW’s signee, Mayorkun, brought his A-game to the album and sprinkled extra spice on the songs he featured in. The track “The Best” is an absolute win and one of my personal favourites.
The South African beat in “I got a friend” made it turnt and you would subconsciously start moving your body to the rhythm because the sound is irresistible.
Bella Shmurda, the new kid in the block brought his unique vibe to the track “Fade”, thus making it the people’s favourite. The duo literally killed the song.
Nigerians are generally huge on danceable beats, hence some of the tracks on “A better time” have a high tendency to become HIT songs in the coming days.
A Nigerian lady has taken to microblogging platform, Twitter to lament over her unemployed status, 3 months after graduating.

I accused Reddington hospital of hiding bodies from people looking to identify corpses. An anonymous employee told me they were working with the army. @SaharaReporters did a bulk of the Investigation tracking bodies to Bonny Camp and when the panel got there, they moved them.
Where was @CNNAfrica when I started crying out for the bodies? @AmnestyNigeria said 12, @SaharaReporters said 20, @PremiumTimesng found several in the water @GazetteNGR @ARISEtv also posted investigations. Now Lagos State is RELEASING BODIESEyesFace with rolling eyes #LekkiMassacre #ijlekkimassacre

In new reports, a Marine Police officer attached to a company at Abonnema wharf in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Sunday, November 22, allegedly shot a 28-year-old man identified as Gospel Gbaraka dead.
According to the report, the deceased was until his death, a security guard attached to Bulk Strategic Reserve Limited, a company located at the Abonnema Wharf area of the state capital while the alleged killer police officer, one Inspector James, serves at the Marine Base Police Station in the city.
While the details about what led to the incident of Gospel’s death are still sketchy at the moment, eyewitnesses however claim that Inspector James shot Gbaraka dead with his AK 47 assault rifle.
Comrade Legborsi Yamaabana, President-General, Ogoni Youth Federation/President, Rivers State Ethnic Youth Leaders Coalition, who confirmed the incident in a statement shared photos of the deceased’s father weeping after seeing his body, while demanding for justice and thorough investigation into the killing.
The statement reads,
“The Ogoni Youth Federation (OYF) worldwide today Sunday 22nd November, 2020 received a distressing and shocking news of the extra-judicial murder of one of its youths and shining lights, Mr. Gospel Gbaraka at the hands of a gun-wielding member of the Nigerian Police Force, one Inspector James, serving at the Marine Base Police Station in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, now being detained at the Mile One Police Station,”
“Late Gospel Gbaraka, prior to being untimely cut short through the barrel of a gun was a 28 year old native of Gwara Community in Khana Local Government Area of Rivers State and a Security Staff with Bulk Strategic Reserve Limited, a company located at the Abonnema Wharf area of Port Harcourt,”
“Gospel Gbaraka was on duty at his security post this morning. The said Inspector James is also a police security personnel attached to the company. There were no altercations, riot or crisis situation at the company involving groups of persons requiring the use of live bullets to disperse crowds, neither was there any existing problem between the deceased and Inspector James.
“Eyewitness accounts state that Inspector James mistakenly or deliberately discharged his AK 47 assault rifle and thereby killed Mr. Gospel Gbaraka in cold blood.
“As a youth body, we are incredibly pained that the life of this young man has been taken, particularly now that Nigeria is at a crossroad and the world has been awoken to the demands of #EndSars protesters whose focal point is to end the recurring decimal of police brutality and extrajudicial killings. This is one of too many as other Ogoni sons/daughters have been killed by the Nigerian Police in like manner.
“The Ogoni Youths immediately demand for justice over the life of Gospel Gbaraka. We call on the Commissioner of Police, Rivers State Command to cause an investigation into this horrific incident and ensure that the erring officer is prosecuted and brought to book. The family of the deceased, at least deserves the consolation that their son’s life was not wasted unjustifiably for nothing.
“Conclusively, OYF invites media outfits to a PRESS CONFERENCE with the parents of Gospel Gbaraka on the above subject matter tomorrow 23rd November, 2020 by 9am at Ernest Ikoli Press Centre (NUJ Secretariat) Moscow Road, Port Harcourt.”

The 34-year-old who launched his record label named Next World Music in 2013 after his exit from Kennis Music made the revelation on his Instastories.

Nollywood actor, Williams Uchemba is currently receiving backlash on social media from custodians of custom and tradition, for not drinking the palm wine his bride gave him on their traditional wedding day.
Recall that the couple had their traditional wedding ceremony on Saturday, November 14th, at the bride’s hometown, Alor in Anambra state.
According to the Igbo tradition, the bride carries freshly tapped palm wine and on getting to her groom she kneels to give him the wine. In acceptance, the groom drinks up the content.
However judging from videos from the ceremony, some traditionalist have alleged that the actor did not drink the palm wine but instead poured the content away, and have criticized him for the act.
A Facebook page, @Onowu Igbo TV wrote, “UCHE WILLIAMS REFUSED TO DRINK THR PAMI HIS WIFE GAVE HIM…… THE GODS OF OUR LAND DID NOT RECOGNISE THAT UNION”.
Another Facebook user @ Abulo Flash wrote, “so why are they acting it on movie because you gat to be an example to people watching your movies”.
@Sharon Chiemelie wrote,
“my dear he was not supposed to pour that drink away like that i have seen it happen the man comes with his own pammy hidden behind him the girl brings her own the guy pours it away with style and not the way he did it take it or leave it that trad is just for formality simple yes i know he was being careful but that should have happened behind without the coverage my dear there’s no amount of money that can justify what he did period I rest my case”.
Meanwhile, some supported Williams’ decision by saying “days are bad” and “times are evil”, others said the actor’s refusal to drink the palm wine which traditionally was handed over to his wife by her father is a proof that Williams does not trust his in-laws enough to drink a palm wine they gave him.

“O my sweet mother even in your death you made me laugh so hard this morning. I just found out from her siblings that she was 69 years old and not 67, as she always claimed.
She didn’t want us to know she was older than my late dad who would have been 68! 😀😃😅😅🤣🤣 she could have claimed his age at least but no, she wanted us to believe she was much younger hence the 2 years gap. Gosh! No wonder she never wanted any birthday party🤣
Cant wrap my head around the fact that she is gone 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I love you too much mama, Continue to rest on……..”

“Copy copy Be original oh wait you think because we speak the same language I won’t mind? Or maybe everything is a plan, you probably know I talk a lot so copying me may trigger me to say something which boosts your slow career; who knows”
A quite aggrieved man has lamented on social media as he revealed that he took his girlfriend abroad only for her to link up with her ex boyfriend over there.
According to the aggrieved guy, he was the one who saw his girlfriend through the university and they’d had the agreement that they’ll get married after graduation.
Read his story below,
“I’ve been dating Ifeoma for quite some time now. Sponsored her through university and we both agreed to get married after graduation. Been to her family house twice. Ifeoma and I discussed about her visiting me in the US. So we started the visa process.
Lucky for her, the embassy granted her visa. After few weeks of her staying with me in the US, she just disappeared from my house without any form of argument or quarrel. The next thing I heard was that she was with her ex boyfriend in another state (California) and they are planning to get married.”
Talented Nollywood actor, Bolanle Ninalowo has revealed that he has immense love for his wife, Bunmi to the extent of being obsessed with her.
According to Ninalowo, he has been together with his heartthrob for over sixteen years, although he has messed up their relationship in the past, hence he sees being with her as a privilege and a second chance at love.
The actor who made this known in a recent interview with Saturday Beats said,
“I am blessed and don’t forget that it’s a privilege to have what I have. Our love story is not that of a rich man that met a beautiful girl. We have been together for 16 years and have come a long way. We have been through so much.
I had always imagined being successful in the entertainment industry and having a beautiful wife by my side.
“She is quite an introvert. We are practically two opposite people that complement one another well. Before I became a celebrity, I used to show off my wife. She looks like my mother and I had always prayed to marry a woman that looks like her. I admire my wife and I’m obsessed with her.
“I have messed up so much in the past and I figured I could rewrite my own story. I am fortunate to have got a second chance, so I am just living my dreams. I am not living to impress anybody.”
