The beautiful actress had also shared some videos and photos from the private dinner held in her honour in Dubai on her social media page. One picture which stood out was that of her billionaire husband and herself looking glamorous.

After two years of living together with a man as wife, popular Yoruba actress, Bose Oladimeji, says she’s had just about enough and walking out fast. Her reason is none other than domestic abuse, which she says has become not only brutally violent but life-threatening as well.
“Yes I’m ready to go, in fact, I’m not with him right now. I just have to run for my life, my life is very precious to me. I can’t just allow someone to kill me like that and I want to address some ladies out there that they should not love a guy because of what he gives them. They should be sure the love is genuine and not be fooled by money and comfort. I’m leaving right now, I need to run away for my life. I need to save myself. My life will be in danger if I continue to stay with him, so I’m leaving right now,” she said in a chat with Potpourri.
Highlighting the gory details of the abuse, Bose Oladimeji said the beatings start whenever he comes home drunk
“Whenever he’s drunk he’s out of his senses and starts misbehaving, beating me. He acts very crazy. Any weapon he sees around he uses it on me but when he is sober he starts to regret whatever he has done. What I’m saying is that in the process of beating me what if I collapse and die or get injured, what will people say?” she said with agony in her eyes.
When asked if she didn’t see it coming, Bose Oladimeji said he pretended and hid his true nature at the beginning of their relationship, explaining how they met and how all the abuse began.
“We meet in the club through a friend and he was well presented and loving, humble and respectful and he spent a lot of money that night but after everything, to be honest, we went home separately. The following day we hooked up and that was how it all started. He was taking good care of me and that was one of the reasons I fell in love with him. But what I found odd about him is the forceful way he has sex with. No foreplay, nothing, just to jump on me and forces his way through. No affection, no cuddling, no romance just brutal sex. I was raped like this most nights, and usually followed by beating and insults,” she added
Though not legally married, they lived together for two years with issues between them. But Bose Oladimeji would not want to drag the children into it.

With 40 years difference in age, Nollywood actress, Regina Daniels, has been repeatedly vilified by all and sundry over her marriage to billionaire businessman and lawyer, Prince Ned Nwoko.
And people’s shock over the marriage turned to bewilderment when the then-teenager, now 20 years was initiated into the billionaire’s traditional cult for women, the Aniocha’s women’s group which is presumed to keep a woman away from ever marrying another man or engaging in any extramarital or face some dire consequences.
Regina Daniels and Hubby, Ned Nwoko
Here’s is the excerpt from Vannguardngr of her response to questions sent to her in Dubai through her media manager, Ifetayo Adeniyi by Potpourri, shedding light on the initiation and other intimate things about her husband and life.
Your (Regina Daniel) initiation into Aniocha women’s cult, what does it entail?
First of all, I will not call it an initiation, it is more like being welcome to womanhood and for you to be part of that group. It’s an elite group, you must be married and be a woman of substance. I will say I’m even privileged to be part of that group.
As a billionaire’s wife do you still play with your age mates?
Well, I have never actually liked hanging out with my age mates. I go for people that are far older than me so I could learn something from them or people who are bellow so I could teach them something and being married to my husband hasn’t stopped me from relating with those people.
What do you love most about your husband (Ned Nwoko)?
His honesty. He’s the most honest person I have ever met. In short, I love his honesty.
What’s the next level for you (Regina Daniel) as an actress?
Business, producing, directing and of course, Hollywood.
What are the things marriage has robbed you of?
I can’t think of anything because when I was single, my life was always about acting, schooling and I didn’t have time for a party but now that I’m married I could go out for parties. I can even say I’m more privileged to have more opportunities now to do things than when I was single.
Can you (Regina Daniels) leave acting at the behest of your husband?
The question is, will he ask me to leave acting? First of all, I never thought about that but the man I married will never ask me to leave what I love.
A Nigerian lady identified on Facebook as Chizoba Favour Chinedu, shared on her Facebook page an ordeal she passed through in the hands of her mother-in-law.
According to the lady, today is meant to be her wedding anniversary but unfortunately her husband is late. The lady also made it known that her mother-in-law was never in support of the marriage from the onset.
Read her full post below;
Today is our wedding anniversary my love but I woke up without you by my side to celebrate it, it feels like hell living without you, if I had known that your mother meant what she said I would walked away while you were still alive, when she told my mother as she was leaving from our wedding that she will deal with me, that after she told you not to marry me, you still went ahead to.
I thought it was just a mere word, even when she asked you to divorce me fews hours after our wedding you refused, I wish I read through her heart to see how mean she was and you still visited her during Christmas time to beg her to forgive me and let’s live like family and she said over her dead body will she live to accept me as a daughter inlaw,
I wish I understood those words, I wish I never underestimated her, I would have simply left and by now maybe we would have been celebrating it over the phone now but I called you and your right rang right beside me, the pain is too much, the thought of your death is making me lose my mind, the beautiful family is planned together has now fallen, the landlord has given us quite notice, your beloved son is out of school and in the midst of it all I am so confused because I don’t even know where to start from here, where are you my love
I want hung you once again, I want to hold your hands, I want you to look into my eyes and tell me that everything is going to be ok, your family and friends that supposed to help, your mother told them that I killed you, maybe she’s right, she thought that am the one that will die but you took the bullet for me, you died the death that was meant for for me because of your heart of gold, you loved your family without reservation but they were opposite to you, even at your last hour you said that if any happen to you that your mother will not survive it because you were her only son but Honey she did and she also said that as She buried you that I will bury our son too.
I know can hear me, I know that you can see me, defend us this day my love. I have not been able to write about you since you left because I thought you travelled and will soon be back but as day passes by I find out you are really gone for good.
I love you and will forever do because you will always live in my heart. With pain in my heart and tears in my eyes I say happy anniversary to us my king, my friend, my teacher, my boyfriend, my brother, my mentor, my father and my husband, you were everything to me. I miss you, our children miss you, the Saint Vincent the Paul miss you.
You were indeed a great man, friend of all and helper to the hopeless. I pray that you send us a helper like you to help us too. Happy anniversary to us. Please friends wish us happy anniversary to ease this pain in my heart!

Big Brother Naija Second Runner up, today, visited the scene of Wednesday’s fire disaster in Onitsha, Anambra state.
Frodd who hails from Anambra state noted that it breaks his heart after seeing the state of things at Ochanja market.
Frodd who was sober said; “Charity begins at home. Indeed it’s a sad period for my people but I indulge you to be strong in this times. God almighty will see us through this period. I indulge Nigerians to reach out to families and friends who were affected. I will be also partnering with foundations to see how we can help our brothers and sisters.”
This is coming after Governor Willie Obiano visited the scene on Thursday morning, promising to compensate the victims before Christmas.
The governor who was at the scene with members of his executive expressed sadness over the incident, assuring that government would not leave them alone in this moment of grief.
Also, in a swift reaction towards the inability of the State Fire Service to respond adequately to the Upper Iweka and Ochanja Market inferno, the Governor has summoned the state fire service chief, Mr Martin Agbili.
The governor also visited the station of the fire service to inspect some of their equipment, saying that his administration would work harder to equip the organization.
The fire chief, Agbili Martin while reacting to enquiries from the governor explained that, “our Firemen were refused access to the Fire scene.
“The efforts made by our sister State, Delta and other individuals like GUO Motors and their Firemen, were not successful as a result of the angry traders, who denied them access to the scene,” he said.
Here are first photos from the ongoing Headies 2019 awards holding at the Eko Convention Center, Victoria Island, Lagos.
