Popular Nollywood actress, Anita Joseph has reacted after a troll predicted the end of her 4 months marriage.
The troll had stated that she will one day insult her husband herself.
“No worry… before one year now na u go still use your mouth insult your husband. Na then you go realize set relationship no be the same with marriage”, the troll wrote.
Anita Joseph in her reaction to the troll’s ill-fated prediction, asserted it’s up to God with personal efforts to keep things working.
She said ;
“It’s up to God and man for marriages to end. It takes more personal effort, and that’s what makes marriage to last. My parents were married until death and I intend to leave that example for my kids, with God as my helper.
“However, if I am to counsel a heartbroken single lady right now, the most important thing she needs to know is that there is life before (meeting) a man and there will be life after the man. The one who left you will make room for another to come. That’s life.”

The PSquare Brothers!

In new reports currently circulating online, forever young Nollywood star, Regina Daniels and her billionaire husband, Ned Nwoko are expecting their first child together.
This was made known not long ago when her husband took to his Instagram to share the good news. The Billionaire shared photos of the pregnant star with an ample baby bump and gave it the caption,
“It is now official. I am excited to announce that my baby is having a baby ❤️ @regina.daniels”
It should be recalled that around mid-2019, Regina Daniels was reported to be pregnant with the billionaire’s child and there were even claims that she was four months gone at the time.
However, not long after, with the actress going MIA on social media, reports made wave that she’d lost her baby at the time — this was accompanied with strong speculations that she either aborted her baby or had a miscarriage.
A report at the time that insiders claimed gave her issues with her husband. Regina then returned back to the social media scene but photos she shared on there were really questionable as she looked rather slimmer than what she looked like before.
This raised eyebrows and even further fueled the aforementioned speculations of she losing her baby and had complications thereafter.
Well, the Nwoko’s are soon to be expecting a child and an elated Ned just couldn’t wait to share the news with the world. We most definitely hope for the best for the actress and wish her safe delivery when the time comes.

Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture has told Nigerians to expect 11,000 megawatts of electricity by 2023 following the agreement the Nigerian government reached with German firm Siemens.
He said the German firm will be growing the present 3,400 megawatts to 7,000MW by the end of next year. Lai Mohammed added that they will then grow the megawatts to 1,000 megawatts by the end of 2023 (phase 2) and 25,000 megawatts in the third phase.
The minister said;
“Following an agreement with German company Siemens in July 2019 to boost power supply in Nigeria, the stage is set for the perennial power problem to become a thing of the past.
“Under the three-phase agreement, Nigerians will enjoy 7,000 megawatts of reliable power supply by the end of 2021 (phase 1), 11,000 megawatts by the end of 2023 (phase 2) and 25,000 megawatts in the third phase.
“To put things in perspective, Nigeria’s current power generation capacity is more than 13,000 megawatts, but only an average of 3,400 megawatts reliably reach consumers. In essence, the current amount of power that reaches consumers will more than double by the end of next year.
“In addition, this will create thousands of jobs and will leapfrog the country into the next level of industrial and social development.”

A new video has emerged online and it shows three other Minneapolis Police Department officers kneeling on George Floyd during his arrest last Monday, which later led to his death.

Well, it would seem that Davido is not pleased with his PA’s action as Aloma has taken to his social media page to apologize to both Davido and Burna Boy, begging them in the name of God.
Davido, reacting to Aloma’s apology, cautioned him telling him to just enjoy his life, grow his business and channel positivity from now. He also stated that should push come to shove, then the matter will be dealt with then.
