Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu known for his infamous comments on Instagram this time is claiming majority of actors in Nollywood sleep with sugar mummies to live big.
Uche asserted that there’s no money in the movie industry and the only way for the actors to keep up is to sleep around for money.
He wrote on his Page ;
“#Nollywood actors sleep with sugar mummy to live big. #Truth is, there is no money in this movie industry, everyone is just packaging. I get up to twenty nude pictures from wealthy sugar mummies on a daily basis, asking to date me and for sex, but as the biggest actor in Naija that has ever gotten the attention of @chrissyteigen in #Hollywood, I have made up my mind never to sleep with a married woman for money. I don’t want to mention names but more than 85% of popular male actors in our movie industry sleep with rich sugar mummies in Lagos and Abuja to maintain their affluent lifestyles. There is a particular actor in this industry that has even slept with his girlfriend’s mum – all because of money”
The British Royal Family have released an official statement as regards the “stepping back” of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan.
The statement comes a few days after Queen Elizabeth and other members of the royal family held a meeting with Prince Harry on Monday, at the Sandringham estate in eastern England, to agree on next steps after he and Meghan decided to “step back” as senior royals.
According to the statement, Prince Harry and Meghan will no longer use their royal titles, will forgo public funds and repay the £2.4m spent on their house in Windsor. They will be allowed to earn money in the private sector, and whatever work they pursue will continue to “uphold the values of Her Majesty.”
The agreement takes effect later in the spring of 2020.

Nigerian Singer, Peruzzi, who is currently in a messy contract defaulting battle with the boss of a label he was formerly signed to, has finally narrated his own side of the story.
The ‘Majesty‘ Singer went a step further by sharing a photo showing that King Patrick was present (body and soul) when he (Peruzzi) was signing with Davido’s DMW label.
Peruzzi further revealed some sketchy details about what ‘occurred‘ between him and King Patrick.
Read some of his tweets below ;
They won’t tell you they were present & aware of the “audio signing”
He knows all I wanna do is write and sing and chop this life. I am a music machine, I understand life from a different point. I write a story doesn’t mean it’s mine to tell. I don’t even give a fuck who tells it! I already set my soul free by writing the story. It’s not that deep
Someone told you I left him for David When he was the one that bought my flight ticket to Dubai. And you think he’s okay. Okay
What was the ticket for? Honeymoon?
Countless times I told you “Guy your relationship with David can help your baby record label, you got plans to sign other people after me so just have a strong relationship with these guys. They’re not fighting you”. You never listened.
You spent 48 Million on the guy you signed before me. That was a failure. You no drag am. Why?
Offered to send you your money, you said you wanted to collect the money before you sign the agreement. Who does that? So that you’d turn Richard Branson and start telling stories?
Spent two years making you understand that I don’t need your money. Come closer, nobody is fighting you. I’m just tryna grow & don’t wanna leave you behind Cos “no time”!
You agree today and it’s all good. Tomorrow you go crazy again.
“I know I am bi-polar” you always said!

A Young Ghanaian Man on facebook known as ‘Classic Pounds’ has taken to his page to share photos of the new whip he’d just purchased for his old man.
While the gesture is one that is commendable, it is the background story his humble beginnings that got people on his page touched.
According to Mr. Classic, he was between the age of 7-8 when he was hit with a big stone on his left eye and he urgently required surgery or it’d have gone bad. Left with no option, the father sold his only ‘motorcycle’ which was their main source of income in order to offset the bills the surgery would require.
14 years after his father sacrificed the motorcycle for his son’s eye, the son has now rewarded the father with a brand new whip (tears inna mi eyes).
Sharing photos of the whip, the young man wrote ;
I know I’m a hot boy but I will never loose my cool ?, I’m greatful that God answered my secret prayers bcos I wanted my parents to be a life and see how successful thier first son will be.
It all started 2006 in my village UMugbalu oboro I was about 7-8 years old I was playing with my fellow kids with stone , then a friend hit me with a big stone on my left eye ?. My Mom was carrying me around on her back to different eye ? clinic the doctor said that I have only 24 hours for them to do something fast bcos once it’s 12pm next day my eyes will be blind .

An ex-classmate of BBNaija star, Khloe, who was probably among those she shaded earlier today has taken to his social media page to also throw his own subliminal message.

An Argentine model, Laru Sanson, from Tucumán, Argentina, on Tuesday 14th of January 2020, published on Twitter how a photoshoot with her dog went wrong.
Apparently, she tried taking photos staying so close to her dog, when the dog turned and bit her on the face. She shared the sequence of photos on Twitter captioning it, “Photo shoot with Kenai goes wrong.”
In an interview with Todo Notícias on Thursday (16), Sanson said; “I was at my friend’s house, there were a lot of people, and I had a very beautiful dog. I like the dogs. I wanted to take a picture and I got sick. I already knew him, but I don’t go to the house very much,” she said.
Sanson states that she thinks she bullied the animal: “I hugged him, put his face very close to the dog, he was bullied; he is a dog that has never bitten anyone, he is 10 years old, is a little old. It was his reaction, he felt invaded “.
The young woman says she was bothered by the comments that it would be necessary to sacrifice the dog. “I don’t hold a grudge, I’m not bothered.”
A photo making the rounds on micro-blogging platform, twitter, captured the moment a man was trying to gain control of a moving vehicle in mid-traffic.
According to reports by the twitter user who shared the photo, the man was caught in that unnatural position because his car was bashed and he was trying to confront the man who did the dastardly act.

Comedian I go save recently made news headlines after he legally got married to Iyabo, the mother of his three children, after over nine years of being together.
While congratulatory messages poured in for the ace comedian, others wondered why it took him almost a decade to seal his ‘forever’ with Iyabo.
The comedian has now given the reason why he took his time.
In a chat with SATURDAY BEATS, the comedian said ;
“I am not really into ladies and marriage is not something one should jump into because one wants to impress people. Marriage is a divine institution, so, when the spirit leads one that it is the right time; if one has money, one should follow the spirit and if one doesn’t have money, one would tell the spirit to relax.
“When the spirit told me it was the right time, I agreed. Besides, my wife has three beautiful daughters for me. So, I think it’s high time to honour my woman and do the needful.

Davido and Chioma are now following each other on Instagram again, after the duo unfollowed themselves and caused a social media meltdown earlier today.
The couple quickly followed themselves after it was speculated that a split between the duo may be forthcoming.
This move came after CEO of Golden Boy Entertainment, King Patrick accused Peruzzi of pimping Chioma to Davido, after the latter had slept with her on multiple occasions. (See here)
Though it was also widely speculated that Chioma may have unfollowed Davido after she got wind of reports that he may be expecting another child with a 4th baby mama.
A quick check by YabaLeftOnline shows the couple have now follow each other, after a few viral reports, this morning.
Folks on Social media are currently arguing, claiming the drama that happened within this short period, may be a PR stunt spearheaded by the DMW boss.
“Davido and Chioma unfollowing each other is just a PR stunt to distract us from the Peruzzi issue”, A twitter user tweeted.
“Don’t be surprised when you see Patrick, Davido and Peruzzi cruising in months time. Don’t be surprised when Davido & Chioma follows each other back and she features in his next music video. This is all Marketing strategy and that thing works for him all the time.”, Asiwaju Lerry tweeted.

Nigerians have reacted to Davido and Chioma unfollowing each other on Instagram shortly after Golden Boy CEO, King Patrick alleged that Chioma was Peruzzi’s side chick.
Davido and Chioma.
The recent development has led to speculation of an unconfirmed claim of ‘trouble in paradise” even though the couple welcomed a son together few months ago.
46-year-old Jeanine Delsky who began dating 23-year-old Sulaiman Babayero Isa shortly after they exchanged photos on Instagram, has arrived Panshekara which is a suburb in Kano to marry her online boyfriend one year after.
Daily Nigerian reported that the single mother met her prospective in-laws immediately she arrived Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport in Kano on Saturday January 11. She described Isa as loving and sincere, and also revealed their plan of settling in the United States after their marriage.
She told Kano Focus;
“He messaged me on Instagram saying Hi. I didn’t respond because I have had experiences with Nigerian scammers.
“But there was a guy messaging me and Sulaiman knew he was a scammer so he said “get a job and quit scamming innocent people.” So I thought he sounded like a nice guy.”
On his own part, Isa who just finished secondary school expressed willingness to relocate with his girlfriend to the United States. He also revealed he is not bothered about the age difference.
The barber was also optimistic that his girlfriend might convert to Islam after their marriage in March.
“It’s even the Sunna of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, Peace be Upon Him, to marry a woman who is far older than you”.
Fatima Suleman, Isa’s mother stated that she has no issue with her son marrying an older woman. She also wished them a happy married life in America.
It should be recalled a popular blogger, Gistlover had taken to Instagram to reveal that Davido has a 4th baby mama who was paid handsomely to lay low.
Gitlover wrote as caption of the below post:
“Hmmmn we are expecting a new baby from baby mama number 4,the lady has been warned not to go public with her pregnancy,the lady wants marriage but Omo Baba Olowo is not ready to settle down anytime soon so he keeps promising her,even the third baby mama keeps forcing him that they should do their wedding soon,,,, even if it’s just to pay bride price or do court wedding for now but he keeps postponing.
“There was recently an argument with him and new baby mama because baby mama read Baby mama number 3 being addressed as his wife in blogs so Unku had to rectify this by making it clear in any of his posts that has baby mama number 3 name that she is his fiancée,so now every post that he makes that has to do with baby mama number 3,he will address her as fiancée instead of ‘my wife’ like he use to do,Nothing last forever o,See the love then,everyone was tapping,now see God,Ewwww,internet go break the day I will unveil the lady’s identity,but until then,I come in peace. Decoders over to you o,I didn’t mention any name o let’s be guided o,Ambulance no go jam us run o.”
Then, another US based, Instagram influencer, Rilimillz also revealed that, the 4th babymama is one babe in Atlanta that Davido has been cheating on Chioma with.
Now according to some theories on social media.. Chioma may have gotten a hint of the baby mama drama, and unfollowed Davido… While Davido in reaction to the drama with Peruzzi’s former boss, King Patrick unfollowed his fiance.
As as the time of filing this report, Neither Davido or Chioma have reacted to this.

Davido and Chioma have a son together named David Ifeanyi Adeleke Jr.
Last weekend, the Ayansola twins, Tayelolu Joshua and Kehinde Caleb melted hearts with their wedding in Lagos.
They were joined in holy matrimony to another set of identical twins, Taiwo Eunice and Kehinde Bernice Elejofi at the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Tribe of Judah, Lagos.
Kehinde got married to Kehinde. Tayelolu also got married to Tayelolu.
What’s more? The groomsmen are a set of identical twins as well.” The epoch-making event was actually a celebration of twins. The groomsmen were Elijah and Enoch Olatunji. They are also a set of twins who can’t be told apart.
Tribune newspaper reports that the grooms, from Modakeke, Osun State, were so close they did everything together right from when they were very little. They attended the same primary and secondary schools, studied the same course – Physical Health Education – for their first degree at the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, where they both graduated in 2014 with First Class. The two of them also got Commonwealth scholarship for their Master’s degrees in the United Kingdom. They are currently pursuing the same career in gospel music.
But fate intervened in their affairs when it was time for their national youth service and, for the first time ever, they got separated. Kehinde (which is the Yoruba name given to the one controversially presumed to be the older of twin brothers or sisters) was posted to Katsina State, while Tayelolu (or Taiwo) was posted to Anambra State.
In an interview with Saturday Tribune, the brothers said the relationships with their women started a few days after their last birthday. Kehinde Bernice Elejofi had sent a Facebook message to Kehinde Caleb Ayansola to wish him a happy birthday, a development which got them talking. After some time, the brothers decided to visit the ladies in their school, University of Lagos, Akoka. As the saying goes, the rest is now history.
According to the Ayansola brothers, they had always wanted to marry twin sisters and they cannot be more excited with the grace to realise this dream.
“We have lots of common interests. We share virtually everything, including our finances. We do not want this closeness to come to an end as we have heard of cases where women become an issue. Therefore, we felt that getting married to twin sisters who also have the kind of relationship we have would further cement our relationship,” Kehinde said.
However, the search was not easy for the Ayansolas. They met several twin sisters and were in earlier relationships with two which hit the rocks. According to Taiwo, the last relationships they had were emotionally stressful as they struggled with them right from the start.
“We made our intention clear to the twin sisters from the beginning. We told them we wanted very serious relationships. But as much as we tried to make the relationships work, the ladies did not cooperate with us. In August 2018, we ended the relationships,” Kehinde said.
But this setback did not discourage these two brothers from keeping their hope of marrying another set of twins alive. Taiwo said they were convinced in their resolve as they prayed and fasted for 120 days over their search for their life partners. “After the prayers and fasting, we continued our search, although we were not desperate,” Taiwo said.
Kehinde Caleb initiated the Facebook chat with Kehinde Bernice and told his brother Taiwo about it. Tayelolu Joshua also decided to engage in a chat with Taiwo Eunice, after which they visited the ladies in school in Lagos – all the way from Ibadan. From the series of chats that followed the first meeting, it was evident that the twin brothers were not disappointed by what they saw. And when they eventually asked the big, four-word question, the future seemed bright enough for them. Although the proposal was done separately, the response from the ladies was the same – “Yes!”
While not closing their eyes to the challenges marriage comes with, the twin brothers are optimistic that they will overcome the hurdles. They said they intend to spend more time with their spouses. “My wife and I stand as an entity. Kehinde stands with his wife. Now I make decisions with my wife,” Taiwo said.
The brides, Taiwo Eunice and Kehinde Bernice Elejofi, told Saturday Tribune that unlike their men, they had no previous relationships. The two, students of Biology Education at the University of Lagos, revealed that they turned down several earlier suitors because they felt no connections with them. But when the Ayansola twins paid them a visit in school, they felt like kindred spirits and three days later, things began to happen for them seamlessly.
According to Kehinde Bernice, when the brothers opened their hearts to them, they informed their parents and their response was positive. “I was confident about the relationship. We informed our parents and we thank God they gave their blessing and now here we are,” she said with a broad smile.
However, when the relationship turned into marriage prospect, they were a bit cautious, being students, but they were convinced. According to Taye Eunice, when Kehinde told her the Ayansolas would be paying them a visit, she readily agreed to it, and when Tayelolu Joshua called days later to say that he liked her and would want them to be in a relationship, she was surprised. “I told him I would think about it,” she said.
The Elejofi twins believe that God has been involved in their marital affairs from the beginning. They are audaciously hoping to give birth to sets of twin boys.
Elijah Olatunji, one of the twin groomsmen, had met Tayelolu Ayansola in Anambra State where they both served as members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC). Incidentally, Tayelolu Ayansola handed over to Elijah as an executive of a religious group of corpers in that state. He recalled that when he knew about Tayelolu’s plan, marriage-wise, he aligned with it. “It may be unrealistic to some people, but me, no. What they were thinking about at that time was what God really wanted. As they grew, they actually came to understand the leading of the Spirit,” he said.
The brides’ parents were filled with joy. Pastor Elijofi, the father, said he and their mother knew, right from their birth, that this (their daughters’ marriage to twin brothers) might happen. “While they were growing up, we were told that the girls would be unique and different from others. All this we kept to ourselves and as they grew older, we began to see some of these things. Also, Pastor (Mrs) Elijofi, said their girls had done them proud as they got married. We trained them in the way of the Lord and I am happy they did not depart from it,” she said.
“They should live in their marriages according to biblical doctrines that they are one. There should be no secrets and they should be open to one another. And when challenges come, they should look unto God,” she advised.
Earlier this month, comedian, Otaghware Onodjayeke, aka, I Go Save, legally got married to Iyabo, the mother of his three children, after over nine years of being together.
Many wondered why it took him that long!
Well, in this chat with Saturday Beats, I Go Save said, “I am not really into ladies and marriage is not something one should jump into because one wants to impress people. Marriage is a divine institution, so, when the spirit leads one that it is the right time; if one has money, one should follow the spirit and if one doesn’t have money, one would tell the spirit to relax.
“When the spirit told me it was the right time, I agreed. Besides, my wife has three beautiful daughters for me. So, I think it’s high time to honour my woman and do the needful.
“It is never too late. The most important thing is cherishing the one that makes one happy. For me, we have been married– maybe on credit or I may have been occupying an illegal place– because we have been together for over nine years.”
On if there were pressures from his wife’s family before now, the comedian said, “Never. There was no pressure on me. She is from a very wonderful and understanding family. Young men shouldn’t be pressured into marriage. That is why most men are never ready and when asked, they say marriage is not easy. They (in-laws) made sure everything went smoothly and I say ‘thank you’ to them.”
The comedian also noted that his first daughter was ecstatic about the news. He stated, “It was obvious we would get married. It would have been very awkward if I popped the question. After three kids, would I start asking, ‘Will you marry me’?
“My first daughter is six, so she understands what is going on. She saw the picture and congratulated her mum. The last born just clocked one and the second is three years old.”
