In a trending clip, a lady took to social media to educate her fellow ladies on divorce and cheating. A woman should not divorce her husband because he is cheating.
The lady who goes by the handle as @tinukevibes shared her perspective on her Instagram page, she questioned why a woman will divorce her husband because he cheats on her. A man is entitled to cheat in his lifetime.
She mentioned a man can’t stay with only one woman for too long, he will also want to engage in sexual connection with other women. Men will cheat even though they try to be faithful to their wives.
She added if a woman divorces her husband because he cheats, after she divorces him it is not guaranteed that the other man she will marry won’t cheat on her; a woman might eventually involved in polyandry if she continues to divorce her husband because he is cheating. All men will cheat.
In her words;
“If he did not cheat wetin he gain, so your husband should be in this life without cheating, how many years did he wants to use in this life, he should not cheat at all. Is it possible for him to eat rice alone or beans alone everyday, will he not be tired?”
Women should quit monitoring their husbands and their movements to avoid implicating themselves and bringing trouble into their homes.

Renowned American rapper Jay-Z took the opportunity during his acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards to voice his disappointment with the academy’s failure to honor his wife, Beyoncé, with the Best Album award.
Jay-Z received the prestigious Dr. Dre Global Impact Award in recognition of his significant contributions to the music industry.
Accompanied by his 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, he graciously accepted the accolade on stage.
Meanwhile, Beyoncé sat among the audience, attentively listening to her husband’s speech.
Jay-Z used the platform to emphasize that there are more important aspects of life than winning Grammys, acknowledging their subjective nature.
He spoke on the fact that despite Beyoncé’s numerous Grammy wins, she has never been awarded Album of the Year.
In his speech, Jay-Z respectfully pointed out the obvious stating:
“I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won Album of the Year.
So even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work. Think about that. The most Grammys; never won Album of the Year. That doesn’t work.”
Jay-Z himself has been nominated for an impressive 88 Grammy Awards, securing 24 wins.
Notably, he has been nominated for Album of the Year six times.
Similarly, Beyoncé boasts an equally impressive record, with 88 competitive Grammy nominations and 32 wins.
Surprisingly, despite six nominations, she has never claimed the Album of the Year title.
Jay-Z’s remarks have sparked conversations online about the Grammy Awards’ selection process.

Popular TikTok influencer Khabane Lame, better known as Khaby Lame, has caused quite a stir on social media, especially among Africans, after revealing his favorite African artist.
In an interview with Okay Africa at the 66th Grammy Awards held on Sunday, January 4, the Senegalese-born Italian social media personality disclosed that the African artist he has had on repeat is none other than the late American rapper, 2Pac.
However, his statement has left netizens, particularly Africans, bewildered because 2Pac, born Tupac Shakur, is clearly not African but a black American artist, and they expected Khaby to know better because he is Senagelese.
Others asserted that Khaby, who is the most followed TikTok user with over 160 million followers on the platform, should continue keeping mute as he does in his comedy videos where he silently mocks overly complicated life hack videos, without uttering a word.

African Man With Handcuffed Hands Isolated On White Background
A Nigerian man who identifies as @somteeofficial has narrated via the microblogging platform X, how his neighbor called the police on him after suspecting that he was into fraud.
The police had showed up at his home in the early hours of today, to search his home, while placing him in handcuffs.
Narrating the ordeal, he wrote;
“Just got handcuffed by police What an amazing way to start my week. So police officers came to my place this morning & handcuffed me saying I was under arrest (for a crime they wouldn’t tell me about). After searching through all my rooms for whatever evidence they could find, then proceeding to search through my phones, laptops etc (at this point already figured what this was about). Asked me what I do for a living, told them I build apps & mobile games, you could clearly see over a dozen of them installed on my phones, and dozens more on app stores. Even just putting on my laptop right there on the screen was a mobile app I was developing. Threatened that if they take me to the station the forensics would find anything implicating on my devices, even the ones I’ve deleted. Told them unless they want to plant something on me, they wouldn’t see even as little as me charging someone an extra N100 for something not to talk of scamming. Long story short, after looking through all my chats they figured I was clean, they then told me I should just be careful.. Apparently a neighbor of mine gave a “tip” to the police that they suspected I was into fraud. Cause they always see me at home and I seem to be doing so well. Lol. Funny cause I don’t even relate with a single neighbor in the estate The only regret I have is not getting that officers contact, I really want to know who that neighbor is.”

After all efforts to reach out to her ‘boyfriend’ and Cici to query them for betraying her proved futile, she decided to call Cici out online.

Interestingly, Cici has now responded to the accusation in a series of posts shared on Twitter. She admitted that she and Obinna got intimate when her friend was not at home, and she fell pregnant, leading to their ‘love story.’
She also chided her friend for claiming that she fed her during her stay in their home, stating that she was the one cooking and feeding her and her boyfriend. She also dared her friend to do her worst.
Read her response below,
“My junior sister saw your tweets on someone’s Facebook page and called to inform that am been dragged on social media.
You didn’t have to put it here without finding out the whole truth.
I have been feeling bad about the whole issue and trying to look for a better way to address this and appease you. But since you’ve taken it up to embarrass me on social media, I don’t owe you any explanation.
You are lying through your teeth about the issue. Have you told everyone that you weren’t performing the duties of a girlfriend? You don’t even know how to cook a proper meal. Talking about feeding me and all when I was the person doing all the cooking for you and Obinna.
We accidentally had sex one of the days you went to work and it eventually turned to a love story I can’t wipe off because of friendship. I got pregnant too. You can’t blame me for getting pregnant please. I avoided your calls when I returned to Lagos because of guilt.
Now you’ve posted it for the world to see I don’t care anymore. Do your worst.”

A young Nigerian lady identified as Queen Alubarika has shared her surprising experience working as a maid in the Arab country, Libya.
She joined the trending ‘of course’ challenge on social media to narrate her personal experience working with Libyans as a housekeeper.
In the video making rounds online, she said she is not allowed to use her phone in the presence of her madam and can only comfortably use her phone in the toilet or when her madam is absent.
She added that even after she has completed her daily tasks, she has to sit beside her madam in case she needs anything.
According to her, Libyans also ask her a ton of ‘silly’ questions about Nigeria and if basic things like rice, houses, and flowers are available in Nigeria.
She said she sometimes gets asked if she prefers Nigeria to Libya, and if she says she prefers the former, she would be queried.
She added,
“Of course, I am a maid in an Arab country, I can only press phone when my madam is absent,” she said.
“Of course, I am a maid in an Arab country and most of my friends must be thinking I am now rich. Because how the f**k do you come into my DM and start telling me to borrow me N50k, N100k.”
Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Mary Remmy Njoku took to social media to shun married women disregarding single ladies on social media. She emphasizes that nobody wants to be alone but many are yet to find someone who gives them peace.
The actress via a written post on Instagram mentioned that marriage is not an achievement and finding the right partner is, people should be allowed to make good decisions when finding the right partner.
She stated that some couples claim to be happy because of societal expectations. Society tends to pressure single people into marriage, hence, they end up in abusive marriages.
The filmmaker referenced an anonymous woman, who is being abused domestically by her husband but still comes to social media to troll single ladies. She exclaimed that the people should focus on the economy and let the singles breathe.
She captioned the post;
“You wed a man who intimidates you during pregnancy with potential side chick, yet you audaciously mock single girls. Aunty, you have a resident problem.
You marry a man, who provides for everyone except you and your children. Aunty off mic! You are a single parent.
You marry ‘community man’ instead of ‘your man’ Sister! You are the Ring Bearer!!
We are all going through a lot or coming from a lot. But when we see a single girl about 35, we abandon our prayer point and focus on her! Team ” I am happily married ”
Focus on your Focus o!!!!
Nobody truly wants to be alone dem never find who go give dem Peace.
Big Brother Naija star, Groovy has finally addressed claims that he exploited relationships to advance in the show.
Recall that throughout his time in the BBNaija house, Groovy was involved in two relationships: the first with Beauty, who was eliminated in the second week, and the second with Phyna, the winner of the season.
Groovy claims that, in contrast to the story that some of his colleagues and fans have spread about him, he was genuinely kind, devoted, and true to himself when he was living in the house.
In an interview with Saturday Beats, he revealed this while stressing that it was incorrect for some of his ex-girlfriends’ fans to say that he tricked the women just because things didn’t work out.
Groovy said;
“I feel there has been a certain perception of me in the public as a result of the relationships I was in while in the house. All those talks about me not being genuine is something I want to clear up, because I actually stayed true to myself. I was caring and loyal. I did not try to deceive anybody. I believed I could win the show, without necessarily having to do any of that.
What is the essence of winning the show if I lost my mantle or damaged anybody in the process? I feel like some things work out and some things don’t work out. Saying that I am not a genuine person because everything did not work out is a wrong narrative about me. I am not what they said I am.”
The musician talked about his interactions with the other housemates during their reunion, describing it as a way for the others to blow off any unfinished business.
He said; “I feel like the reunion was a continuation of what we did in the house, and I actually saw it as an opportunity for people to bury the hatchet, and air out their grievances for one last time, and find mutual understanding.
“There were fun sides to it, and there were also fights. I felt everybody had different experiences. I went there and I said my truth, which is all I always say, because I am a genuine person. I say things as they are, and don’t try to cut corners.”
