The conversation that was shared, shows that the lady was not interested from the onset about any form of discussion that didn’t involve business or money and thus, when the guy persistently continued trying to win her over with sweet words, she flipped the switch and told him she was not his type.
She further recommended ‘Ibadan girls’ who according to her. are ‘Razz and less Classy’ which would make them a perfect fit for the man.

I’ve never done this but just look at this Hoeniranu, local Ibadan somebody! Your type are at YabaLeft ?. At least have sense before you toast a babe??♀️
Popular social commentator, Reno Oomokri, has again spoken on relationship matters, telling men the kind of woman they should marry.
Reno said that a woman with a car, human hair, iPhone, jewellery, expensive shoes and high taste in food without a rich family or income or any business that shows she can afford them is a not a woman fit for marriage. He said such a person cannot be the one except the devil wants to set a trap to end the man.
He said that kind of woman can be likened to a panther who consumes one’s value.
The social commentator asked his male followers to consider things carefully before they jump into marriage if they do not want to regret their decision and weep. He said: “Look before you leap, or you will rue and weep. Marriage to a panther is damage, not marriage”.
Popular Nigerian cross dresser, Bobrisky has blasted trolls who he says do not mind their businesses, only insult people.
Bobrisky advised trolls to drink water and mind their businesses instead of going on people’s pages and troll them, advising that they commit suicide if they are frustrated about life.
In his words;
“Don’t go to people’s page and insult them, people you don’t know. If life tire you, go and kill yourself nah. If you know life don tire you, you are frustrated ehn when your mate dey hustle, you are busy insulting people. Go and kill yourself, go and hug transformer!.
Lagos State Health Commissioner, Prof Akin Abayomi, stated that most people infected with coronavirus don’t feel sick, they can be exercising daily and feel generally well but are secreting and transmitting the virus everywhere they go.
The Lagos State Health Commissioner shared this information during a chat on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Saturday.
He said;
“ We ’ve moved from the imported stage to the community transmission stage and the virus is now jumping around and it is a highly contagious virus ; it spreads very easily.
“ The difference between flu and coronavirus is that if you catch the flu , you will know you have flu . You ’ll be terribly unwell , there will be no doubt that you are sick .
“ Most people don ’t actually know they have coronavirus . About sixty to seventy percent of people have a very mild illness it might just feel as if you had a rough day but you ’ re secreting the virus and therefore you ’re transmitting it.
“ And therefore a moderate proportion of people have symptoms and a smaller proportion will have a severe and critical illness. You could have coronavirus and be jogging. That’ s mild it could be. ”
He said the state is aware of the difference in the social segments of Lagosians and is working on policies suitable for different strata and parts of the society .
He said , “ Every segment of Lagos requires a slightly different strategy. It can ’t be the same cap fits all . Someone in Victoria Island doesn’ t have the same priority as someone in Makoko for example. What Mr Governor is trying to do is to size up all the respective situations . He gets his situation analysis every day . He debates with his cabinet.
“ Livelihood is the priority and COVID -19 is just a threat to livelihood . There are many other threats to livelihood . And so in life, you balance those threats . And that other threat may be hunger or other kinds of sicknesses .
“ Lockdown is a component of social distancing and there are many factors to social distancing . What we are trying to do is to reduce the opportunity for the virus to travel from one person to another .
“ If seventy percent of Lagosians are in the informal sector , they have no safety net, they live from day – to -day . What they earn is what they eat , it ’s not like a higher social – economic segment that has reserves.
“ It is important that you allow your imaginations to infiltrate this segment of society and make realistic decisions that don ’ t disconnect you from these people . You could have a double assault in both ways if you make the wrong kind of decisions . ”
Nollywood Actress, Regina Daniels, have been topic of discussion when it comes to ‘marrying for love or money’ ever since she got married to the love of her life, Billionaire Ned Nwoko. The only problem (according to critics) is that the man was too old for her and she apparently married him because of the money that was involved.
The above paragraph is the reason Regina Daniels family became one of the most talked about on social media and this has extended to her younger sister, Destiny Daniels.
In a recent development, Destiny was dragged into an online exchange who felt morally justified to give some marital advice to the sister of Regina Daniels ( because come on, we are talking about the sister of Regina Daniels).
When the troll tried to advise her against following the footsteps of her older sister, Destiny who couldn’t care less if the troll was older than her, gave him a piece of her mind.
The follower wrote: “No marry old man like your sister bcos of money you hear?”
Destiny replied:
“you that you are young,your own is to be posting engagement ring because all the girls you proposed to didn’t accept your foolishness simply because you’re broke…….pls make money let young girls marry young guys. Mtchwww,abeg next time don’t come to my page and start spitting trash because I wouldn’t care if you’re older or not”

Founder of Omega Fire Ministry, Apostle Johnson Suleman, has called on the federal government to allow pastors heal COVID-19 patients through prayers.
This is despite the fact that the World Health Organisation (WHO) had warned people against unscientific claims suggesting cure for the respiratory disease caused by coronavirus.
According to Church Times, the clergyman said there was need for the government to grant permission to those with gift of divine healing to visit isolation centres and heal people with the killer virus.
Suleman claimed that such measure is needed if the country hopes to make meaningful progress in the fight against the novel disease.
“Please (referring to the government) permit us to go and pray for COVID-19 patients. Allow us to go there (isolation centres), that is why there are men of God,” he said.
“If you are really anointed to pray for the sick, this is the time because what is holding the world is sickness. So, we’re begging the government to permit us into isolation centres, that is the only way we can reduce this nonsense because it will improve everyday.
“There are people with the gift of healing, God has gifted them to pray for the sick. It is not fake, gimmick or arranged. It is there in them. Permit us so that we can prove there are prophets in Nigeria.”
He added that such permission from the government would also reduce the backlash many pastors have been getting on social media about their perceived inability to do anything about the pandemic.
“Permit us so that the ridicule and all that can reduce. We’re not telling you we can heal all of them but by the time we are through with them, you’ll see significant difference. If they are 20 before, at least 18 will be cleared because that is what God can do,” he said.
Suleman further stretches the list of religious leaders who believe the killer virus could be handled through divine intervention.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu at a press briefing on Saturday April 25, disclosed that mortuaries in the state are now full and need urgent de-congestion.
The Lagos State Governor said mortuaries in the state are not full due to Coronavirus cases, but because residents of the state have been unable to gather to hold burial ceremonies for their loved ones due to the lockdown order in the state.
Sanwo-Olu also outlined new measures to ensure the decongestion of mortuaries in the state.
He said;
“Because of this inability to hold funerals, occasioned by the restriction on movement, the mortuaries in Lagos State are now full and in urgent need of decongestion. Let me make it clear at this point that these are not Covid-19 deaths.
“I am now constrained to make this appeal to all Lagosians who have the corpses of loved ones in the mortuaries, to please go ahead and schedule these funerals.
“The mortuaries in Lagos are not full because of Covid-19 deaths –the total number of Covid-19 deaths in Lagos as at today is 20; the only reason the mortuaries are full at this time is because funerals are not being held, and have not been held for most of the last two months.
“Lagosians can hold or attend funeral ceremonies in the state as long as they comply with the requirements of the state, which are as follows:
• The total number of persons at the funeral, including officiating religious leaders, must not exceed 20.
• Physical distancing must be maintained at the funeral ceremony.
• All attendees/mourners must use masks and ensure they wash their hands after the
ceremony.
• There must be no receptions or parties to accompany the funerals.
“If we are unable to see a decongestion of the mortuaries across the state in the next two weeks, the Lagos State Government will be compelled to carry out mass burials to achieve this. We do not want to be forced to do this, which is why we are asking for your cooperation in this regard.”
