He added on Instagram: “Apply this method, thank me later. Actually I believed in only option A before until I realized how wicked some human beings can be, they’ll never stop till you give them a taste of their own medicine.”

Why the hell do people shout in church believing God would hear them more. If anything, it shows how selfish we are cos the volume increases mostly cos the individual vuvuzela wants “God” to answer him/her first. That! My brethren, isn’t Christian. That’s competition.

Following the photo that she shared on social media, she got a few comments suggesting that her child looks like a monkey.
The comments got to Tboss and she took to a live session on Instagram to lay heavy curses on the insensitive trolls.
Reacting to whole brouhaha, Daddy Freeze has urged her to stop listening to negative comments.
His post reads ;
Dear @officialtboss_ …
You really need to stop listening to the trolls, your baby is gorgeous. – I used to be bothered by what people said about me online, that was 5 or 6 years ago. Today with a task as Herculean as mine, combined with knowing how stupid most of the dingbats online are, I expect the retorts and the backlash. – But many of those who come online to say shit about me, live in little holes filled with sorrow and hate. They try to transfer their suffering to me; I never accept this and neither should you! – Some come into my dm to beg for money, favors and recognition, I see them all but accord them no acknowledgment. – Stay strong sister in a hateful world! ~FRZ
Publisher, Betty Irabor has now reached out to TBoss with some soothing words. Betty told the reality star to enjoy motherhood, reminding her that a child is precious whether your status is single or married.
Read her post below ;
I saw a trending video of a very broken @officialtboss_ last night . She was very pained that a troll called her baby names ( btw your baby is beautiful) But that wasnt the only reason @officialtboss_ broke down.
She reflected on a very traumatic pregnancy ( only those who have had a very troublesome pregnancy will get this). She lamented that people were naming different men as the father of her baby and that it hurts very much..( understandably so).
Then she talked about being a Single mum and the challenges of trying to live her life despite the struggles… True, I dont know Tboss but I can relate with yesterday’s emotions.. it was painful to watch.
Yes I know what it feels like to have one of those moments when life truly sucks. I feel her. I get that it is one of those moments when a new mother gets really overwhelmed and a little EMPATHY can make a difference…
It doesn’t help when she and her baby get trolled by someone battling with her own unresolved issues. Please, let’s be kind…and if we cant, lets be silent because one day we may have to live in regret knowing we caused someone so much pain that they harmed themselves.
Dear Tboss, your child is a precious gift and many dont yet have that gift… A child is precious whether your status reads Single or Married… Nobody holds the key to your HAPPINESS and nobody holy pass.
Please enjoy and cherish this special moment you have been blessed to experience because indeed, Motherhood is priceless

Following this trend, the brand prompted Nigerians to share a kiss with their partners on social media, publicly affirming their love for them. This public show of affection sufficed to put a smile on many faces.

Hauwa Yunus, a three-time divorcée from Jigawa State who lives in Masaka, Nasarawa State has been arrested after being linked to the kidnap of several prominent Nigerians.
The suspect who earned the reputation of a notorious kidnapper has reportedly confessed to her role in the abduction of some of her boyfriends who she lured into relationships with her beauty.
A police source who confirmed the arrest of the 24-year-old Fulani woman, told Tribune;
“The long arm of the law caught up with her recently in Abuja where she confessed to the police that she was in fact behind the kidnapping of her first boyfriend, who she confessed was rich and very caring. She stated further that when she realised that the man had several other girlfriends she decided to make money from him by kidnapping him.”
Recalling how her first boyfriend was kidnapped on their way out from the hotel where they spent some time together, Hauwa said;
“Unknown to him [her boyfriend], I have planned with other members (of my gang) how he would be kidnapped. After several negotiations, he paid two million naira and I collected two hundred thousand as my share.
“Even though he did not know I planned his kidnap, when he was released he still wanted us to continue with our relationship. ”
She also confessed to organizing the kidnap of her second boyfriend who was abducted after stopping by the roadside to buy some things.
Hauwa said;
“He paid the sum of one million naira as ransom and I collected fifty thousand naira as my share.”
Her third boyfriend who was not rich like the others, paid after N500,000 for his release and it was gathered that she spent more time with him than others.
Hauwa also disclosed that she planned the kidnap of her best friend Zainab, after she overheard her talking about getting a credit alert of N600,000.
She said;
“I thought that the best thing to do was to kidnap her and collect the money from her. Eventually, I kidnapped her.”
Zainab did not survive the torture she was subjected to after being kidnapped as she died from the injuries she sustained. After her friend’s death, Hauwa reportedly ransacked Zainab’s room, took her ATM card and withdrew all the money in her account. She also took her friend’s car which she repainted and sold including other personal belongings.

These are the kind of people we have been existing together with. This man will be dangerous around children. Be you friends or relatives, you all need to watch him closely.
Any man who can publicly, foolishly and proudly boast of enjoying sex with kids as young as 12, 13,14,15 years old is a potential pedophile and a rapist who should be arrested. I just feel for the kids around him.
I saw this caption on Oluchi Enaworu’s wall and decided to check him out and to my greatest shocksup this guy has humans on his list who are there posing as his friend I can never keep such an individual as my friend, not even as a neighbor. God forbid!!!!

This is one of the conversation we need to be having as Nigerians, why don't every just keep their religion to themselves…. Government outrightly need to ban public preaching, prayers before government functions (be it in a particular religion dominated region or not)…(1
Mental problem masquerading as religion. Until we stop masquerading certain practices as religious practices, people will find it difficult seeking help.

Nollywood actor, Lateef Adedimeji has revealed how he learned acting. According to him, a cat taught him how to act.
Speaking in an interview, Lateef also mentioned on or two things he does when he is not on set.
”I’m always acting because the creator of heaven and earth is always acting, too. When I’m not on a movie set, I read a lot to upgrade myself. At some point in my life, I studied a cat and even got one for myself because I think animals are the best teachers. For instance, a cat’s concentration is serious. Whenever a cat wants to get a rat, it channels its entire being into getting it. As an actor, that’s a good thing to copy. One can infuse that into any role one is asked to act. At a point, I studied lions too, but I couldn’t buy that. Basically, I do a lot of ‘stupid’ things to get better in my career.” he stated.
He continued saying;
”My mum had always known that I wanted to be an actor but my dad didn’t. My father didn’t even know that I was a dancer because I was doing it in the background. By the time he knew, it was already late. But eventually, my dad realised that I found more joy in acting than doing any other work. He left me to pursue my acting career and I’m sure he is proud of me today.
Interestingly, I tried working in an office but after two weeks, I resigned; it was just not working. My parents came for my performance recently and I was shocked when I saw them shedding tears of joy, thanking God that they allowed me to pursue my dreams.”
On why he finds it easy to cry in his movies, he said:
”I got that skill from my mother; she is a very emotional person. If she laughs too hard, tears would drop from her eyes. Meanwhile, I cannot stand the tears. Even if it’s just a joke, it would affect me. I now cry without even thinking about anything deep. I know that there are some factors around me that could always make me cry.”
On why his soon-to-be bride is not a celebrity, he said “That’s the reason I had to get somebody that could handle my job. The film industry’s trouble is enough but when the outside world is hot, one needs to find solace back home…. Both of us cannot be out (of the house) at the same time and leave our kids with our parents; it doesn’t make sense. If I’m not around, my wife can raise the kids herself the way I want.”
