Beverly Naya has reacted to the headline used in a recent interview she granted, stating that ‘it’s unfortunate that when a woman grants an interview in this part of the world, the headline is almost always about about her marital status or opinions on marriage.’

Quite unfortunate that when a woman grants an interview in this part of the world, the headline is almost always about about her marital status or opinions on marriage. You’ll spend 30 mins talking about your life, career and aspirations only to have ‘marriage’ be the focus. Wow.
Actress, business woman and mum of two, Mercy Aigbe has recounted her bitter experience in the hands of her former husband, Lanre Gentry.
The actress made this known while recently addressing her fans in her newly opened Youtube channel.
The actress who in 2018, got separated from Gentry on grounds of domestic violence, disclosed thus:
“The first time the slap came, it felt like I was dreaming. I wasn’t expecting it and I was shocked beyond words. I didn’t know it was going to happen but it happened. The begging would then come after that. Once a man raises his hand to hit you, he is going to do it over and again. However, because it was my second attempt (at marriage), I was ready to make it work, even with all the violence. I was there hoping and praying. I just wanted a happy home.
“The incident that broke the camel’s back was the one where I almost died. The beating was horrible. People often say actresses don’t want to remain married. Who told them that? (You think) being a celebrity doesn’t make me human? Does (being a celebrity) mean I don’t want to have a happy home? They say actresses are promiscuous but promiscuity is not (the exclusive preserve of) any profession. When mine (break-up) happened, it wasn’t easy because I am a celebrity. I read a lot of things online. Some people even said I made it up. But, nobody can dictate to me how to live my life.”
Encouraging women to speak up when they are assaulted by their husbands. Mercy who recently released a movie titled, ‘Victims’, which has domestic violence as its theme, further said, “I have been through domestic violence and I came out strong. I would love to see the end of domestic violence in society. It wasn’t easy for me because society always shames one. Everybody believes if one is experiencing domestic violence, one has to be patient as a woman and take it all to remain in one’s husband’s house. A lot of people have lost their lives as a result of domestic violence. And religion is not helping. An assaulted woman could go to her pastor and the cleric would say, ‘Oh madam, you need to keep praying’. Is it until she loses her life?”

Nigerian Singer and internet sensation, Speed Darlington has lamented over the high cost of living in Lagos, Nigeria.
The singer who left the country 18 years ago for greener pastures in the US returned to support his foe turned friend, Zlatan.
After delivering a superb performance at the “Bolanle” crooner’s show, he decided to extend his stay in Nigeria to reconnect with his roots.
However, the singer had difficulties adjusting to living the Nigerian way as he was always caught up in nasty scandals and this made him leave the country.
He took to his Instagram page to finally share his reason for leaving the country. According to him, he won’t be moving to Lagos if he ever decides to relocate back to Nigeria.
He wrote:
“Honestly I don’t know what I’m doing in Lagos maybe I should live in Benin City or Calabar where life is much cheaper and I can get to the capital within 10 hours of driving. With 2 million naira in Calabar i can have a very nice place with a maid.
Six weeks in Lagos I only got two jobs that’s not a lot. I don’t have plans of getting married right now but i want a child, outside Lagos, is my best bet.”
Sensational singer, Zlatan has professed his unconditional love for award winning singer and ‘Risky’ crooner, Davido.
Apparently, the Zanku singer just joined the plethora of well-wishers that have congratulated Davido after his singles and “A Good Time” went platinum.
The “Bolanle” singer congratulated Davido with a rather strange message that has caused a stir on social media since it was posted.
He wrote, “Davido you know I love you pass Chioma! More wins God’s favorite.”
While others have commended him for constantly supporting the singer, others slammed him for using such words to congratulate the singer.
Ace actor, Yemi Solade who recently celebrated his 60th birthday, opens up in a chat with City People about his experience in the industry.
The popular actor who does not take ‘nonsense’ from anybody revealed why some of his fellow actors don’t like him.
How did you get used to the existing tradition in the Yoruba movie industry?
I have had to adjust a bit. I met a whole lot of traditional ways they do their thing when I joined.
There is this particular practice in the Yoruba movie industry, it is called: I do for you, you do for me. It works for some people but not for me because I didn’t run a clique. They will invite stars to location, and end up giving them money just for fuel, and end up running round society men and women for the bigger survival. So, I chose to remain the consummate actor that I am. To Just be different, to do my craft and collect good fees and live a normal life.
How were you able to break into the Yoruba movie industry considering the long list of stars there already?
Yes. The likes of Taiwo Hassan. He was the Denzel Washington of the industry. Let’s give it to him. He’s got everything. He is tall, handsome and all that, and you know that I am not tall, but I have a mouth. I saw what these guys were trying to do, coming from their own backgrounds. The Alarijo thing. Though, we experienced it in Wole Soyinka’s theatre. Their Alarijo Theatre was from Ogunde Theatre, and that was what produced stars like Adebayo Salami, Jide Kosoko and others and they refer to them as “Oga Mi”. But I won’t use that term. If you ask me who trained me, I will just tell you, Wole Soyinka. He was a lecturer in the University of Ife, a Civil Servant that was paid. He did not employ or write any Jamb for me. He only influenced my studying Theatre and becoming a drama student in his department. But in the Yoruba arm, you must have an Oga. They have master and apprenticeship scheme. Somebody must train you and you cannot erode that, it has come to stay. Here I was, coming from Wole Soyinka’s line, where things like that were not applicable. I could give him all the respect that he taught me, but not to the extent of being subservient to him. That was the structure I met, and I was doing my thing differently and I had issues, because they saw me like someone that was arrogant and doing something they were not used to. They concluded I was just one guy that just came to have a feel of the industry.
I can remember when Mama Rainbow met me on the set of “Oju Inu”. She said “Doctor, if I invite you will you work for me? I played the role of Medical Doctor in the movie back then and everything was well structured. I began to point out certain things that I felt were missing such as calling someone Mrs. Tayo in a Corporate environment. Once you use the prefix, the surname has to follow. So they began to frown at my ideas, that Baba Ogunde already said it that some English people will come and hijack this theatre work. But despite everything I was focused because I already made up my mind to come and make impact. And don’t forget this is what I was trained to do. It is my job. It’s my life and I was not doing it for money. I was so excited that the Marketers who saw the flicks were interested in my job.
So I began to be their bride at that point. Many major roles were coming to me and I was enjoying myself. I had clashes with a few of them who were not ready to embrace my style and I was telling them I wasn’t shifting grounds. I had reasons to drop some bombshell in the media. Till tomorrow I will keep saying it that, lack of education, professional training, formal training is the problem of that sector, but I give it to them, they are a bunch of raw talents, that no one can take from them. If you see their crafts, you will fall in love with their skills, but the technical know-how and power of articulation we don’t have.
Also, the fear of Voodoo but I didn’t see all of that, I was cautioned to be extremely careful, but here I am today. I have contributed in my own little way and I’m still doing that now. And I think, we have more understanding now because those critics thought I was out to destroy the structure.
But I was only trying to let them know that I was not coming from their background and orientations but we can marry the two together. I even told them to their faces that either they like it or not, we must marry the two together and what was coming out from this small body was beautiful to lots of people. I represented a class of actors in the industry and with that, we began to increase, I mean Actors who have gone to school, not necessarily studying Theatre Arts, but those who have degrees in different fields. They could express themselves before the press and everybody speaks English fluently I began to see them and started feeling at ease with myself. And I was like, this is what I really want to see. So apart from exhibiting their skills, they can relate with people of other professions with confidence.

” When our men were mobilised to the scene, we found Clement dead in a pool of his blood in the kitchen.
” Blood was also seen all over the kitchen and a thorough search of the house led to the discovery of the remains of Clement’s wife, Toyin, 50, in one of the locked-up rooms upstairs.
“Two corpses were recovered and deposited at the Isolo General Hospital’s mortuary. The assailant equally stabbed his sister, Mary, in the stomach and on the hands.

The Aqua animal was killed by teams of fishermen who have been trailing it’s movements for sometime.
Reports from the area indicated that the Council’s Chairman Bello Sarkin Gabas and Council Members have visited the scene this morning.
Samanaji town is situated on the banks of River Niger thus, having constant encounters with aqua creatures occur rampantly which may have negative effects on their population.
However, with no fishing regulatory mechanism in place, killing of endengered species may continue unabated across riverine Communities and other areas with significant wild life population.
It is however worth of note that the Kebbi State Governor Senator Abubakar Atiku Bagudu has been in the forefront of saving Wild Animals intruding into the State’s territories while on grazing adventure. Reports from Bagudo Local Government Area indicated that the Elephants quarantined in the area are still there under the watch of State and Local Government officials.”

Read his post below ;
You are NOT for everyone, and that’s not just okay, that’s AMAZING!
■
There’s a close friend of mine (we go way back) whose Expatriate husband can’t STAND the very sight of me. Considering the fact that we have mutual alliances, we run into each other occasionally. And she’s in the strategic Media industry so that’s even more than often.
First time he sighted me at a dinner party for one of my close buddies (and just so you know, my sensory organs are exceedingly sharp), I heard him whisper to his wife (my friend), “I HATE THE VERY SIGHT OF THAT GUY.
FUCKING HOMOSEXUAL.
I HOPE HE’S NOT YOUR FRIEND”. And I knowingly walked up to them with the biggest welcoming smile plastered all over my face, hugged my friend, shook his hand in a limp shake which he withdrew quickly like I had the Coronavirus and moved away.
I thought to myself, “White man? That’s a first!”
They usually find me intriguing and assume I’m some sort of RockStar!
The other day, we were at a Champagne oriented event and forgetting my resolve, I ran up to her.
Hugged her. Told her how I had missed her (very true) and and moment I tried to greet her husband, she laughed and said to all our other friends around us,
“MY HUSBAND DOESN’T LIKE DENRELE..”
I decided to break the ice again. Tried to say hi. This time he backed hurriedly away from me with an irritated demeanor and moved further down the patio muttering
“I’LL KILL SOMEONE…” and something else I didn’t quite catch!
Everyone noticed this but it still fell down to this look; MY WIDE CLEVER FOOL LAUGH! And wholeheartedly too!
Suddenly, a group of friends sighed me, screamed my name and whirled me away to meet their foreign friends who were enthusiastically THRILLED to meet me!
■
You are not for everyone, and that’s okay. The world is full of people who, no matter what you do, will point blank NOT like you.
Being disliked by some is simply a byproduct of being authentic to who you truly are.
But it is also filled with people who will LOVE YOU FIERCELY!
You are not for everyone, and that’s okay!
