“Any man they used food to snatch is irresponsible and not fit to be with any woman” – Nigerian businessman fires back at Mummy Zee

Nigerian businessman fires

A Nigerian businessman, Basil Okpara, has asserted that any man who can be snatched from his partner with food is irresponsible and not fit to be with a woman.

He made this statement in response to a tweet by viral X user Mummy Zee, who gained popularity after revealing that she wakes up as early as 4:30 am to cook for her husband.

In her recent post, she asked netizens if they can all agree with her that a man can be ‘snatched’ with food, following a dispute between a lady named Akwa Igbo and her friend, Cynthia.

 Nigerian businessman fires

Akwa Igbo called out Cynthia on Monday morning, February 5, for allegedly snatching her man, Obinna, and getting pregnant by him.

However, when Cynthia responded to the accusation, she claimed that Akwa Igbo doesn’t know how to cook a proper meal, and that she was the one cooking for herself, Akwa Igbo, and Obinna when she spent time in their house. ICYMI, read the full story here

Reacting to the saga, Mummy Zee, who initially revealed that she started waking up early to cook for her husband because his female colleague brought two spoons to the office so she could share her meal with him, stated that she hopes people can now see that a man can be snatched with food.

“So na now una gree say they fit use food collect person man abi?” she tweeted.

Basil Okpara, however, had a different opinion and didn’t hesitate to disagree with her stance. He stated that any man who can be lured away with food lacks self-control and never loved his partner.

He tweeted,

“Any man they used food to collect is an irresponsible man and not fit to be with any woman. We can’t excuse some men’s lack of self control and disrespect to their relationships or marriages. Any man that leaves his woman because another woman gave him food is just a useless dog, and never loved his woman.”

The head Mortician of the Mortuary section of the Cebec hospital in Bonaberie Douala, Louis Maries Mbella, revealed that he was alerted by a security guard that someone had left the morgue and sat outside at night.

His words,

“It was around 3 AM (Monday) when the security guard, knocked at my door to inform me that someone had taken a chair to sit outside. I approached the young man and asked him, Why did you take this chair outside, and when they asked you refused to react,’ he said nothing. I asked again and received no response.

I now put on my phone’s touch light and pointed at him, that is when I discovered that it was the young man who died last Sunday. I went inside to check if truly he was the one, and I discovered that he was not where we embalmed him. All those inside were naked but he was outside, eyes closed, but he was smiling.”

Videos of the boy sitting outside an uncompleted building not too far from the mortuary are currently circulating on social media and have stirred a huge controversy.

It was gathered that the clothes and socks worn by the deceased were burnt, and his body was returned to the mortuary after traditional rituals were performed in the presence of his family.

Speaking on the mysterious event, the Chief Mortician explained that this is the first time this has happened to corpses under his care. He said sometimes dead bodies may move from their normal positions, arms up, etc., but this is the first time a corpse has left the mortuary to sit outside.

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.

Jay-Z Criticizes Grammy Awards For Snubbing Beyoncé In Best Album Category (VIDEO)

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.

“He sounds better with his mouth closed” – Reactions as TikTok star, Khaby Lame, reveals his favourite African artiste is 2Pac (video)

Khaby Lame reveals

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.

Davido’s Hype Man Special Spesh Throws Shade At Tyla’s Grammy Win As Davido Misses Out On Awards

The hype man for Nigerian music superstar Davido, Special Spesh, has expressed his frustration and disappointment following Davido’s loss to Tyla in a category they were both nominated for at the 2024 Grammy Awards.

Taking to Instagram to voice his dissatisfaction, he expressed his sentiments regarding Davido’s failure to secure any wins in the three categories he was nominated for.

In his post, he made a bold statement, claiming that they would not allow anyone to diminish the essence of Afrobeats, Afro Fusion, or any other African music genre.

He emphasized that the influence and success of African music were becoming undeniable, and he wrote on the tendency of external forces to try to gain control once something becomes popular.

He wrote: “We won’t give you the power to dumb Afrobeats down or Afro Fusion or anything African.

“That’s “(white) America’s problem!! When things start to take over and get massive, they always want a part, then try to have a say, then try to control!!!”

Special Spesh used the hashtag:

Gbedu about squ*rting don win” in reference to the explicit lyrics in Tyla’s Grammy-winning song “Water.”

Tyla’s victory in the Best African Music Performance category meant that her track surpassed notable contenders such as Davido’s “Unavailable,” Burna Boy’s “City Boys,” Ayra Starr’s “Rush,” and Asake’s “Amapiano.”

The 2024 Grammy results have sparked debates online, among fans, netizens and industry insiders alike, fueling discussions about African music on the global stage.
