Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has challenged any girl who might want to claim she has slept with him since he got married to his wife, to publicly speak up or forever remain silent.
The author gave this challenge on the micro-blogging platform, when a Twitter user alleged that he engages in extra marital affairs.
Reno had taken to social media to advise husbands and fathers to ensure they care for their family, just as they care for their side chics.
He tweeted,
“Dear Husbands who are also Fathers, You see that unconditional love you give to your side chick? Go home and give it to your children. If that your side chick had received unconditional love from her father, she wont be with you making her future useless!”
However, a Twitter user while reacting to his tweet, said she hopes his side chic doesn’t see his tweet.
Reno Omokri who was apparently confident of his loyalty in marriage, in response challenged any lady with claims he has slept with her after he got married, to come forward.
In his words,
“If there is any girl on Earth that I have slept with, since marrying my beauty queen of a wife, please speak publicly or forever be silent. Meanwhile, may it never be well with side chicks who break homes, unless they repent. In Christ’s Name!”.

He added,
“We are all working at understanding this huge event as it only happened so recently, even though my dad has been unwell for some time.
“A sad day for all who knew and loved my dad and a sad loss for all people around the world who enjoyed the wonderful gift he had as an actor.”
A Single Nigerian Man is ready to mingle and he took to social media page to specifically state the qualities he’s looking for in his significant other.
According to Ejike Analike, a staff of National Primary Health Care Development Agency, he needs a well-mannered and focused lady looking to be in a serious relationship.
He further said he’d want her to have a touch of ”Nicki Minaj” and one would wondered what exactly he meant by that.
“Need a serious relationship. She must be cool, well mannered, can cook, focused, above average and most importantly she must be prayerful with a little touch of Nicki Minaj. From Anambra State” he wrote.
Nollywood Actress, Ruth Eze has revealed that she would not mind being a second wife, in so far her hubby is a rich man.
According to the thespian, she is currently under pressure to get married but can’t afford to marry a poor man.
Ruth told InsideNollywood ;
“My mother is on my neck to get married but I can’t afford to marry a poor man, truth be told. So, I have been calming my mum down. I told her if I don’t look well and rush into marriage, I might rush out before she knows it.
“For now, I’m here waiting for true love and without money, love can’t be true and sweet. I also don’t mind being a second wife as long as he agrees we have a white wedding.”
Nollywood actress, Toyin Afolayan, otherwise known as Lola Idije, has revealed the secret to her youthful look at age 61.
The thespian made the revelation in a recent interview with Saturday Beats. According to her, her good looks is hinged on her conservative lifestyle and the grace of God.
In her words:
“People want to know the secret of my good looks but it is just God at work. The way a woman ‘uses’ herself really matters too. Life is like a camera; it is how one poses that one would appear in a photograph.
“I don’t use myself anyhow. My continued relevance has been by the grace of God. It is absolutely not a function of my strength or any supernatural power. I don’t have anything.
“In reality, our enemies do not want us to excel but I have triumphed. If one doesn’t serve God and mammon together, the world would marvel at one’s success and wonder if one is the most gifted person because things would work out for one.
“It is risky to be dependent on human beings because they would disappoint one.”

The philanthropist, who had earlier dropped hint about his intention to engage his lover, has taken to Instagram to share the good news with his fans.
Williams shared photos and a loved-up video with the love of his life and penned an heartfelt message for her.
He wrote,
There comes a time in a man’s life when he needs to settle and there is no better time than now.
For years, my major prayer point has been for God to give me a Life and Destiny partner that can understand my complex nature, as well as my calling to serve God and Humanity and vice versa.
I have discovered that marriage is not only about procreation and pleasure. Just as significantly, it is about two people coming together to achieve the assignment given to them by God, the Creator of the institution of marriage.
God didnt just answer my prayers…he gave me more than I asked for in you. So that being said I want to say thank you.
Thank you for being my friend
Thank you for never quitting on me even in my worst days and behaviors.
Thank you for your humility and fear of God.
Thank you standing by me and staying up all night praying with me for days when it seemed like the whole world was against me.
Thank you for trusting and believing in me enough to mentor and teach you.
Thank you for not being scared to correct me when you think I’m about to take a wrong step and vice versa.
Thank you for allowing me to be me, accepting my personality and helping me work on my weaknesses and vice versa.
Thank you for being an amazing cook knowing that I can’t cook to save my life.?
Thank you for agreeing to be the mother of my kids
And last but not the least;
Thank you for agreeing to spend the rest of your life with me.
My Prayer is that as we step into the next phase of our life, God who is the founder of this institution called marriage will lead and teach in all things.
I Love you to the moon No sorry the moon is too far maybe to the furthest part of the earth wit Uber?.
Ok bye we have a wedding to plan.

Popular Nigerian Billionaire, Ned Nwoko, was recently paid a visit by Big Brother Naija (lockdown) winner, Laycon.

Veteran Nollywood Actress, Georgina Onuoha has continued her criticism of Lagos State Lawmaker, Desmond Elliot, over his comment about the negativities of social media.
The actress turned nurse noted in her Instagram post, that it will be morally wrong not to call her former colleague out because of the “Na we we” or he is one of us mentality.
Read her lengthy post below ;
I’ve gotten a lot of calls and text messages regarding Desmond Elliots posts I made and rightfully so.
It will be morally wrong and reprehensible not to call him out because of the“ Na we we” or he is one of us mentality.
The change we seek must begin with us.
Desmond owes all of his entertainment colleagues an apology for personally calling them out as instigators of his purported “ looting and violence simply because they raised their voices to condemn police brutality and injustices happening in our society.
Desmond was practically advocating for the censorship and control of social media which is the only means for Nigerian youths to err their grievances regarding a nation that has failed them. Desmond was calling for governorment regulations that will subjugate the people’s will from expressing themselves in a democracy.
That is dangerous and he should be held accountable for his gross mischaracterization of the Nigerian youths and Nigerians as a whole.
Lastly, just like Desmond I condemn the looting of innocent people’s livelihood. It is not who we are and that doesn’t represent the peaceful protest the globe watched until his god father’s disrupted this peaceful protest by sending in their thugs and arsonists.
I also want to ask dishonorable Desmond @desmondelliot , since representing Surulere what have you done for your constituents?
Build a latrine? A wood bridge and laughable makeshift hand washing stands???
It is a disgrace..
How much was commissioned for those projects???
If you live in Surulere, please outline what Desmond has done that is visible to see and has impacted your life positively??
It is within your rights to start asking him and others that represents you to show you what they’ve done for you.
It is time for accountability. This is how change will begin.
Accountability and representations.
@desmondelliot what have you done to impact the lives of the constituents you are crying for on national television??
Please outline them all.

“We had a very short notice and we brought what we were able to lay our hands on.”
Agboluwaje also stated that the Managing Director of LCC, Abayomi Omomuwa would not be able to testify due to the short notice, said this was because the company was yet to hire an external counsel to represent the MD.

The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, on Friday, urged men of the force to protect themselves against attacks.
He said the police officers have the right to defend themselves in case of physical danger.
Adamu gave the charge during an assessment tour of the FCT Police Command.
The IGP who alleged that the #EndSARS protesters were out to demoralise the personnel, also encouraged the operatives who had abandoned the streets over the past few days following the killing of some policemen in the violence that rocked the country.
He disclosed that the government and the Nigeria Police Force would soon roll out packages for the families of the deceased officers.
“The unity of this country lies in the support that is given to police officers because if you are demoralised, the tendency is for criminals to take over the public space and the country is relying on us to make sure that the public space is not taken over by the criminals. So no amount of provocation, no amount of insult would make us shy away from our responsibilities.
“Inasmuch as we are aware that the government is behind us; so, we would encourage you to keep performing your duties. We would encourage you to be professional, to be civic, but if anybody touches you, if anybody comes to assault you, you can also protect yourself.
“When we talk of human rights, the police are human; so, the rights of police officers would also be protected. So, we are sending the message that legally, we have the right to protect ourselves,” the IGP said.

Governor of Plateau state, Simon Lalong, says public and private properties valued at N75 billion were lost to looters in the aftermath of the #EndSARS protest.
Gov. Simon Lalong
Lalong disclosed this on Friday at the government House, Jos, during an interactive session with the youths.
He said the 75 billion naira was arrived at by experts after a preliminary evaluation of the level of destruction and looting done to properties in the state.
“The level of destruction and carnage is unbelievable and unacceptable. We are still trying to carry out a comprehensive evaluation of the total cost of the damage. However, the preliminary report by a team of experts I constituted has estimated the losses to be put at about 75 billion naira for now.
“Since coming into power, my administration has remained committed to pursuing the economic development of the state through youth empowerment and job creation.
“You would agree with me that the enormity of the challenges we face cannot be resolved overnight or with a wave of the hand. It is a process that all of us must collectively work together to achieve,” the governor said.
Sokoto state Governor, Aminu Tambuwal has said for Nigeria to overcome its challenges, the country’s present crop of leaders must address poverty and unemployment amongst the youths.
Tambuwal made the statement at the National inauguration of a project tagged ‘Project 20 million’, on Thursday in Abuja.
The governor, who was represented by his Special Assistant on Small and Medium Scale Enterprises, Akibu Dalhatu, said that for Nigeria to enjoy peace, these challenges must be addressed.
“In our country today, we are faced with banditry, rape cases, corruption, mismanagement of funds, nepotism, insurgency, and so many issues that threaten the unity of this country.
“Posterity will not fail to judge us all for our actions and inactions if we do not speak; it is we the people that will change Nigeria.
“The recent #EndSARS protests that rocked across the country and even beyond is a wake-up call to our leaders.
“The fact that they have pushed us so much to the wall shows that Nigerians are ready to start pushing back.
“We must adopt the participatory approach to budget making; before the budget office of the Presidency, the Ministry of Finance and Budget Planning finalise any budget, they must organise town hall meetings.
”This will gather the inputs of the people and determine priority areas.
“If the people participate in the budget-making process, they will also follow how the appropriated money is being spent and by this they will demand transparency and accountability from government officials.
“The people’s engagement in these processes strengthens and deepens democracy, and this ensures that the process of the rule of law is followed.”
A former leader of the Nigerian Senate, Victor Ndoma-Egba has pleaded with suspected hoodlums who looted his house in Calabar, to return is late father’s judges robe.
Egba revealed that the looting of his house was premeditated, and he notified security agencies of the planned attack on the house he started building in 1991 and moved into in 2009, but “nothing was done to stop it”.
Giving a full account of the incident, he said,
“At about 2 am (local time, as I was abroad) on Saturday 24th. October 2020 I received a text informing me that there were plans by arranged hoodlums to attack my residence in Calabar, that of Senator Gershom Bassey and a hotel owned by Senator John Owan Enor.
“I promptly forwarded the texts to Senators Bassey and Owan Enoh. I also called the security agencies in Calabar to apprise them of the information. Calabar from my information was already tense from the previous day’s break-in into warehouses storing COVID 19 palliatives and the subsequent breaching of shops and other businesses. The impending attack on Senators Bassey, Owan Enoh and I was already public knowledge as later that morning I got many calls to that effect.
“Thereafter I kept calling the security agencies by the hour when in spite of their assurances that they will secure my house there was no evidence of any security personnel in my vicinity. I understand, the times were indeed confounding for everybody.
“At about 2 pm the intruders broke into my house and looted it to the ground leaving only the bare floor. All the toilets, baths, pumps and indeed every imaginable fitting were removed as were items of furniture, clothing, a huge collection of mainly rare, out of print books, documents and historic photographs. They also removed all the windows, railings, family pictures and burglary proofs. Even my private chapel was not spared.
“They set the cars ablaze and parts of the building after more than four hours of interrupted operations in my house. It was methodical. Among the intruders were obviously electricians, plumbers, carpenters, motor mechanics, panel beaters and other tradesmen. Mercifully, no life was lost. I started building the house in 1991 and moved in in January, 2009.
“While not prejudging, and without prejudice to the work of the security agencies, I have forgiven the intruders, and pray fervently for them to find meaning, inner peace, and fulfilment in their lives. I only plead that they return my late father’s judges robes which they certainly would not be needed for anything and is surely incriminating.
“The destruction of my house was clearly premeditated, wanton and unjustifiable but I understand the anger in the land especially amongst our youths. However, if looting and burning my home will better their lives and bring positive change to our land, then it is a sacrifice my family and I gladly make.” He added.
