“I want to marry someone like my current boyfriend but not my current boyfriend” – South African lady shares

The statement a South African lady made about her relationship on the microblogging platform X has sparked an outrage online.

The lady tweeted that she wants to settle down with someone like her current boyfriend but not her present boyfriend.

The statement which was quite confusing for the majority resulted in them throwing jabs at her while asking her to expatiate on what she meant.

The lady answered by tweeting that she wished God can transfer everything he has to another man, adding that she can’t settle with her current partner even though she likes him.

Her tweet read;

“I want to marry someone like my current boyfriend but not my current boyfriend. Everything that man is just transferred to another man. I hope that makes sense to you, God!! Kuthiwa I must settle I have one life. I’d rather be single than settle. To settle ya’ll question, he isn’t South African, I’d just love to settle down with a South African for an easier or convenient life. If it makes sense. He is not ugly, broke or married like some have tried to guess lol Ya’ll don’t know my relationship nor the dynamics. You find offense in me stating my preference, when the person I am dating doesn’t, the problem is you. Otherwise we make each other happy, go puke your guts out in borrowed anger and leave me.

Even though she asked internet users to stay out of her relationship and not judge her with what she wrote, they took to her comment section to tag her as confused and not knowing what she wants.

“I haven’t been able to see my kids” – OAP, Do2dtun (WATCH)

Popular Nigerian on-air personality, Oladotun Ojuolape Kayode professionally known as Do2dtun has stated during an interview session with “Gold Room With Iyabo Ojo” that he hasn’t seen his kids after his marriage crashed.

Speaking in the interview, the OAP emphasized that a stage will come when a child gets  to choose which parent they want to be with. He shared that children will never want a relationship with a penniless father; a father might be broke and still be chosen by his child.

The father of two girls mentioned that though he hasn’t seen his kids after the unpleasant divorce but has chosen to be mentally right and be the hardworking dad he has always been.

He also mentioned that he is fighting silently for his kids and they will grow up to eventually know the truth.

The OAP urged men to change the narrative on how they speak about their family and they should see him as an example.

He said

“I still haven’t seen my kids till date and i just chose to be mentally right, I’ve chosen to be hardworking dad I have always been because I started to loose weight on the things I should be doing because i was trying to fight which is the right thing to do. I have to fight for my kids…there is still more to come”

I can’t share my man – Actress Grace-Charis Bassey rejects polygamy

Nollywood actress, Grace-Charis Bassey formerly known as Belinda Effah, has stated that she would never be able to share her man with another woman.

The Nollywood actress disclosed that she was raised in a polygamous household and that she is not interested in having a second or third wife.

She stated that while she has no issue with individuals being in polygamous partnerships, she does not support their values and personal convictions.

Bassey said; “My private life is not anybody’s business, but when it is time (for marriage), you will hear. I am a very private person, and I don’t put my life out there. People have been pressured into marriage, and they ended up regretting it; so I owe nobody any explanation regarding my life.

I am from a polygamous home, and it is not something I want to relive. Based on my experience, it is not something I look forward to. I don’t want to share the attention of my man with any other woman. I don’t criticise people who are married to polygamists; it is just that we all have our beliefs.”

The actress said that because she was picky about the productions she participated in, she had not been in as many films as she had previously.

She said; “I have been calm for a while, trying to be selective. I don’t want to be everywhere. However, I have an announcement to make soon about how I intend to be working. I sincerely apologise to my fans.

I have been getting a lot of messages from people who have not been seeing me frequently on their screens. I usually tell them that I am still an actor, but I am choosy about the roles I take.”

“Why Zubby Michael is not as big as me” – Actor, Timini Egbuson

Popular Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has declared that he is bigger than his colleague, Zubby Michael, in many ways.

The two actors had gotten into a furious argument over who the greatest actor in Africa is in the first episode of the original reality series “Ebuka Turns Up Africa” on Prime Video.

Timini brought up the matter again during an interview with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on Cool FM in Lagos.

According to him, in terms of the caliber of his films, his box office performance, and his standing with industry insiders, he is better than Michael and every other actor in the business.

He claims that the widely shared comment he made was not about Zubby, but he chose to interpret it as such.

The host, On-Air-Personality, Dotun asked, “Why do you think you’re a bigger actor than Zubby?”

He replied,

“If you watched the show, what you will first realise is that I wasn’t talking about Zubby. I speak my sh*t everytime and everywhere I go.

I considered myself the biggest actor, it wasn’t about Zubby. It’s about bigger than everybody else. So, Zubby took it personal which is obvious, because he is also an actor that thinks he is big.

But if we now decide to break it down statistically, in terms of the quality of movies that we shoot, the range of movies that we shoot, the number of movies that we’ve shot, the box office record, popularity among industry experts and consistency. If you put them together, there is no way that Zubby would score higher than me.”

“I tried to end my life three times” – Comedian Destalker

Nigerian comedian, Oghenekowhoyan Onaibe Desmond, popularly known as Destalker, has disclosed that he has made several attempts at suicide.

He revealed that he struggled with depression following his graduation from university and that his inability to find employment eventually led him to become an okada rider.

In a recent session of the Afrobeats Podcast, Destalker and UK-based presenter Adesope Olajide discussed his life story.

The stand-up comic claimed that his family’s problems and his failure to get a well-paying job or advance in his profession pushed him to despair.

He went on to say that although he had previously taken the decision to never work for anybody again, there were many obstacles in his way and he had difficulties.

Destalker also acknowledged that his colleague Ajebo helped him get his first significant break in the comedy business.

He said; “I graduated with a degree in Public Administration but couldn’t get a job. So I started doing okada [commercial motorcyclist]. But the truth is, I already had it on my mind that I don’t want to work for anybody. You must have a blueprint of what you want to become even though the country has its own blueprint waiting for you.

I was struggling. It wasn’t easy. There were a lot of distractions and it got to a point where I was suicidal. I attempted suicide three times. I think nobody has heard this part of me.

That was when I realised that even I can’t take my life. I now believed that when you’re suicidal, your miracle is close. The devil doesn’t just want you to attain it. The closer you are to your destiny, the difficult the challenges. That was my story.”

Destalker said; “After I won my first Best Comedian of the Year award, my colleagues started getting jealous of me. FunnyBone said, ‘What does he feel like? Let’s give him 6 months.’ He didn’t know I was sitting close to him when he said it loud.

He said, ‘Abeg! Six months he will go down.’ Listen, you cannot give time for what God has timed. FunnyBone continued, ‘Let’s give him time, highest one year. No be so Akpororo do? Where is Akpororo today?’ I said, ‘Okay, let’s see if it’s God’s time or man’s time.’ I won the same award for four consecutive years.”

The Fuji star claimed that after witnessing how Wizkid’s recording technique enhanced song replay value, other musicians adopted a similar strategy.

He said;

“Wizkid did something in the Nigerian music industry. And I picked up from there. Back then, a song used to last for five or four minutes. But go and check now, Wizkid is the one that changed the method of music that you don’t need to waste music.

He changed the method of recording in Nigeria. He will bring chorus and after that he will just give you like 16 bars and after that he will go back to the chorus. If you love the music, you play it again.”

“Olamide paved way for me, I used to take N200 for shows” – Portable

Portable reminisced about the times when he would play at gatherings for just N200.

He told Olamide how much he appreciated his sincere offer to sign and support him without any strings attached. Even though many doubted his ability, he commended the YBNL boss for providing him with opportunities.

In his words;

“If not for Olamide, I would’ve still been on the streets. I went to London and collaborated with the best rapper in the UK and it’s all thanks to Olamide. When nobody believed in me, you told me that I was gonna make it and I’ve made it bigger than I ever thought.

Olamide is a boss, he sponsored me without signing me and never asked for anything in return and that’s why I respect him so much. Some people use me to do bläck business but Olamide is the only guy in this industry who showed me love.

Olamide paved the way for me, he’s my boss and God used him to bless me. I’m from streets and I’ve been through a lot but I thank God for sending Olamide to me. I used to perform for N200 before Olamide helped me and he didn’t rip me like most people do in this industry.

Paving the way for someone doesn’t only mean inspiring them, but it involves making things easier for those who come after you and that’s exactly what Olamide has done for a lot of artistes.”
