“What really happened was that I had an 8:00am class which was Supposed to hold at that lecture theatre, on reaching the lecture theatre, I opened the door and stepped in and as soon as I realized that it wasn’t my class cause I didn’t see any familiar faces, I stepped out immediately. I was already on my way down the stairs when a student
Called me back and said the lecturer was calling me, I answered and entered the lecture room. The lecturer (Dr. F.K Ariyo) in his exact words asked, “why are you in my class and who are you impersonating?”, the students in the class laughed as he said this, me also thinking it
Was a joke and wondering how a 200L student would come to impersonate a 400L student laughed and replied “I’m not impersonating anyone sir I just stepped into your class and realized it was the wrong class and i stepped out immediately”, he said I was lying and insisted that I
Came to impersonate someone. He said he was going to arrest me and take me to the school CSO and sent a student to call the security for me. While the student was at that, he asked “why do you have this type of hair?” And I replied saying “this is my natural hair” and he said I was
Lying because men don’t come with this type of hair, I didn’t argue because it’s not the first time someone is saying it’s not my real hair. He asked for my ID card which I immediately gave him, at this time, the security was already there, he gave the security man my ID card and
Told him to take me away. I immediately tried to make a call to my brother who is also a student or my mum to inform them about what was happening and that they might not be able to reach me cause I’d be at the security’s post. He then said I shouldn’t call anyone and switch off
The phone and hand it over, I said I couldn’t hand over my phone because I didn’t know my offence and I just wanted to know what I did wrong. The security man began to drag me by my trousers, I told him to leave me alone but he kept dragging me, Dr. Ariyo then took it up from the
Security and tried to forcefully collect my phone. In the process, he strangled my neck to the wall, broke my phone screen, broke my right index finger, tore my trousers and after collecting the phone punched me in the back of my head, the security man then dragged me out by my
Trousers aggressively while I was screaming and asking, “what have I done?”, “why are you dragging me like a thief?”
This is what really went down yesterday. I’m not his student and I wasn’t impersonating anyone”

“His healing power and His saving grace” – Tems reacts to ‘before and now’ pictures of herself and her manager

Nigeria singer and songwriter Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems has reacted religiously to a throwback picture of herself and her manager, Muyiwa Awoniyi.

The Grammy award winner disclosed that she would not keep quiet about God’s grace and how he has changed their lives.

The 28 years old singer, who recently revealed that what prompted her to start making music was because she had no friend, quoted the tweet of her manager and wrote,

“Changed our lives forever. His healing power and His saving grace. They don’t know but be acting like they do. I can’t keep quiet about it!!”

While sharing the post on the microblogging platform X, her manager thanked God for delivering Tems. According to him, God delivered the singer from something he has chosen not to disclose.

“If they only knew what the Lord delivered you from. Thank you Lord Jesus for your tender love and mercy. Impossible is nothing with you”

Darius Jackson reacts after Keke Palmer filed a restraining order against him, seeks full custody of their son

American actress and singer Keke Palmer has filed a restraining order against her baby daddy Darius Jackson and requests full custody of their 8-month-old son.

According to Keke, she is filing a restraining order on the grounds of abuse, which includes physical violence and destruction of property.

Keke, who is 30, mentioned that she and Darius, who is 29, had broken up in early October after being together for two years due to the physical and emotional abuse he inflicted on her.

The Nickelodeon star claimed that she has security footage recorded by a CCTV camera in her house from November 5th, where Darius “trespassed into her home without her knowledge or consent” and “threatened” her before “lunging for her neck, striking her, throwing her over the couch, and stealing her phone.”

She went on to add that there have been many instances of physical violence with Darius which includes “destroying her personal property, including diaries and prescription eyeglasses, throwing her belongings into the street, throwing her car keys to prevent her from driving away, hitting [her] in front of our son, spewing profanities about her to their son, threatening to kill himself with a gun if she left him, harassment, and other physical and emotional abuse

According to her she wants him to complete a 52-week batterer intervention program.

Adding that “It is because of our son, Leo, that I was finally able to end my relationship with Darius once and for all and escape the abuse,” she wrote. “Leo is the most important thing in the entire world to me; he needs and deserves to be safe and grow up in an environment free from violence. Unfortunately, ending my relationship with Darius has not ended his abuse — if anything, he is even more unhinged, volatile and dangerous to both me and our son.”

After she filed, Darius shared a picture of himself and their child on the microblogging platform X with the caption, “I love you, son. See you soon.”

“I don’t want to be limited to just one woman. I believe in polygamy – Singer, Young John

Singer, Young John

Nigerian music producer and singer, John Udomboso, professionally known as Young John, has revealed that he believes in polygamy because he doesn’t like monogamous relationships.

Speaking with media personality Toke Makinwa on the ‘Toke Moments’ podcast, the singer stated that he doesn’t want to be limited to just one woman.

The 28-year-old singer also opined that many people don’t believe in monogamy but they don’t want to accept their reality.

Singer, Young John

His words:

“I don’t want to be limited to just one woman. I am just free”.

“Contrary to the popular belief that musicians and entertainers are promiscuous, though there’s a lot of women around the scene, everybody is engaging in these things. They’re simply not as visible about it. Musicians, however, have their lives on display, so everyone sees what they do.

“My polygamous nature isn’t because of the industry I’m in. Ever since I was a young boy, I used to question everything. I’d ask why it has to be one man and one woman. Since then, I’ve always wanted to explore different routes. I don’t want to say fantasies.”

A while back, Young John stirred reactions after he publicly shot his shot at sensational singer, Tiwa Savage. Read here

The ‘Bambi’ crooner shared his thoughts in a video posted on social media while speaking on how he has reached a point of reconsidering his concept of “masculinity.”

He acknowledged that he had taken away some women’s prime years for starting a family and manipulated them into believing that they would never find someone better than him, using comments like “No one will ever love you like I do.”

Jidenna recounts

As he soberly reflected on this, the 38-year-old singer admitted to leading these women on while they contributed to his growth.

“Look at me now. And look at them,” he said.

Speaking on how he dragged them along, he said, “If you were a creative, I folded you into my art work. If you were in my art work, I gave you a job. I gave you a job, I mastered your life. I gave you a house, food, everything you need. I protected and provided for you. I did what men are supposed to do.”

In conclusion, Jidenna said he is ashamed of the things he did to women.

“My hubby was not my spec because he was not handsome in my eyes” — Nigerian lady says

Nigerian lady says

A Nigerian lady has revealed that her husband wasn’t her ideal type when they first met and he expressed his intention to marry her.

In a post shared via her Twitter handle, Princess Janet recalled how she confided in her sister that she wasn’t attracted to her husband, then boyfriend, because she didn’t find him handsome.

According to her, her sister asked for his picture, and when she sent it, her sister rebuked her for calling the man unattractive and questioned whether “village people” had blinded her eyes.

In hindsight, Princess said she might not have considered her husband handsome because he is light-skinned, while her spec at the time was a “tall, dark man with pink lips.”

Nigerian lady says

Based on her experience, she encouraged people to surrender their preferences to Jesus and embrace God’s plan when they meet their partner.

Read her full post below,

“My hubby was not my spec🤭.

I remember discussing with my sister after my hubby made his intention known that he wants to marry me.

I told my sister he wasn’t handsome, I said he was just there sha🤪.

My sister said, send his picture let me see, I sent it and she was like are you sure village people haff not use chew gum to cover your eyes like this🤣🤣🤣.
“How can you say this handsome man is not fine” she said.

Looking back, I don’t know if it is because Dark, tall and pink lip is my spec or village people actually tried to cover my eye with chew gum, for me not to see say na fine bobo.

The truth is we all have a spec.

Physical spec.
Spiritual spec.
Financial spec.
Educational spec.
Tribal spec.
Family background spec.
Denominational spec.

Add more spec that you can think of.

But irrespective of the spec you have in mind, it is important to always submit all spec at the feet of Christ and accept God’s will.

By the way, na me fine pass between both of us. If you say otherwise I will block you😜.”

“Davido and Wizkid abandoned you because of your bad character” – Portable slams Samklef

Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Olalomi Oyegbile, widely known as Portable, has called out music producer, Samklef for using his reputation to gain clout.

He became even more irate as he continued, accusing Samklef of having a poor character and being rejected by both Davido and WizKid.

He claimed to have watched Samklef online and was aware of his bad belle status as he urged his followers to warn the music producer to steer clear of his path.

He continued by probing the producer-turned-artiste about his failing music career and the reasons for his decision to give it up, emphasising that the same negative character was the root of his failure.

According to Portable, Samklef doesn’t have a job other than pursuing social influence and he was attempting to exploit him and his boys to create a trend.

“Nigerian artistes are losing the creative sauce” – Pheelz

Nigerian producer and singer, Phillip Kayode Moses, professionally known as Pheelz, has opined that Nigerian artistes are becoming repetitive in their style of music.

According to him, musicians are losing their true love for what they do and seem to be losing their creative soul.

While appearing on a segment of ‘The Dadaboy Show’, which was presented by media personality Ehiz, Pheelz discussed his insights.

Pheelz claims that contemporary Nigerian musicians are less engaged in the creative process and more focused on the lucrative music industry.

He bemoaned the lack of distinction between artists, business owners, and manufacturers.

He, however, warned that marketing strategies are fleeting, as he emphasized that only good music will stand the test of time.

Pheelz said;

“We [Nigerian artistse] are losing that love for music. It’s starting to become manufacturing. It’s starting to feel like we’re manufacturing soaps like we are making iPhones.

It’s starting to feel repetitive like we’re losing our creative sauce and our creative essence. It’s becoming work. Now, it’s harder to promote than to even make the music. Now, it’s becoming about promotion and marketing, not even about the art of it.

I don’t know about anybody else but for me, it’s about the music. I think that’s the most important thing. That’s the one thing that will stand the test of time. Marketing strategies will come and go. We shouldn’t be really focused on that. The way we market music now was not the same way we used to market music.

When people say stuff like, ‘It doesn’t even matter if the music sounds good, if you no get money to push am e no go blow.’ That kind of thing hurts me. I’m like, then what are we doing? If we don’t really exalt good music anymore and we just follow clout and hype what are we doing? Are we really making music then?”

“Our wife???” – Bolanle Ninalowo sparks reactions after sharing a picture of his female colleague

Nigerian actor, Bolanle Ninalowo has caused a stir online after he shared a picture of his colleague, popular Nigerian actress, Damilola Adegbite.

The picture which he shared on his official page on Instagram with the caption 🌹 Tag her.. has gotten people talking.

Some suggested that the actor has moved on from his failed marriage and is currently interested in a relationship with the actress he posted.

It will be recalled that the actor recently announced that he has parted ways with his wife, citing the reason behind the separation as ‘irreconcilable differences’.

A few weeks earlier, he shared an image containing a text explaining that he does not need to share his own side of the story, acknowledging that life happened and he has healed.

His fans were, however, quick to notice that the actress whose picture he shared is a divorcee. In their opinion, both thespians’ marriages did not work out.

Damilola Adegbite, who was formerly married to Ghanaian actor Chris Attoh, got divorced in September 2017, citing the reason as love wasn’t enough.

Meanwhile, fans of the actor have advised him not to rush into a relationship, and that he should keep his relationship off social media.

While others believe that one day the actor would reunite with his family, because he has once separated from his wife.

“You will become a billionaire if you pay your tithe” – Evangelist (Video)

A Nigerian pastor has stirred controversy on social media after his sermon, which connected wealth accumulation to paying tithes.

During a church service, he promised that anybody who sows seeds and pays their tithe will undoubtedly become a billionaire.

He chastised Christians who fail to pay their tithes, comparing it to stealing. According to the clergyman, failing to pay tithes is tantamount to robbing God and hence qualifies as theft.

In his words,

“If you’re not paying your tithe, you’re a thief and you have robbed God. You sow seed and you pay your tithe.

That power of tithe will come, the power of the seed will join together and you become a billionaire. People would be coming to borrow money from your hand. People would be crying but it’s not for you.”

This message strirred reactions from netizens who did not believe him. Read some comments below.

Ajuba wrote; “By all means, avoid these preachers. For your own good, and for the sake of your soul. God is not in church, he’s in you! Spirituality is not a gift that can be impacted. It’s within you. Don’t let them scare you with hell, your pastor’s are the ones eating the tithes/offerings.”

5-Year-Old Girl Allegedly R@ped By 35-Year-Old Man In Abia State, Blames The Devil (VIDEO)

In a shocking incident that unfolded in Igbere, Abia State, a 35-year-old man known as “Yellow” was apprehended by an enraged mob for allegedly raping a 5-year-old girl inside a room.

The suspect, who was brutally beaten by the angry villagers, confessed to the crime, revealing that he lured the innocent child with groundnuts.

Begging for forgiveness, “Yellow” claimed that he was influenced by the “Devil” to commit this heinous act, attributing his heightened desires to the chilling weather brought about by the rain.

According to his account, he was sitting with friends, enjoying groundnuts, when he entered the building to retrieve something.

It was there that he encountered the young girl and offered her some groundnut seeds, leading her to follow him inside, where the assault took place.

The assaulted child was quickly rushed to the hospital by her family for immediate medical attention.

Meanwhile, the 35-year-old rapist was handed over to local security personnel who will subsequently transfer him to the police for a comprehensive investigation.

This incident comes merely four months after another appalling case in Umuahia, where a 37-year-old man named Chiemela Ekeke was sentenced to life imprisonment for the rape of a 4-year-old girl.

As of now, the Abia State Police Command has not officially acknowledged the incident. Efforts to reach the Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Maureen Chinaka, for a statement have been unsuccessful.

The community eagerly awaits justice for the young victim.

“Why I still live with my mother at age 34” – Boxer, Anthony Joshua

Boxer, Anthony Joshua

Professional British-Nigerian boxer, Anthony Joshua, has revealed why he still lives with his mother, Yeta Odusanya, at the age of 34.

This comes after he moved back into his mother’s two-bedroom ex-council house in 2017 after earning a whooping £15 million from defeating Wladimir Klitschko, beating Robert Helenius in August, and currently preparing for his next fight in 2024.

Boxer, Anthony Joshua

Speaking in an interview with BBC’s Louis Theroux, the 34-year-old said he still lives with his mother because she is very important to him and the Nigerian culture encourages communal living. He added that his future wife would struggle to convince him to move out.

The two-time world champion said,

“I still live with my mum. In our culture, we grew up in our own family home, we support our parents. Why am I going to move out and leave my mum by herself, for some girl? Family is the most important thing. When a girl gets with me, she ain’t just marrying me, she’s marrying my family.”

Boxer, Anthony Joshua

Anthony, who is not romantically linked with any woman at the moment, added that he likes to keep his personal life private because he can’t live up to the expectations people have of him.

He continued:

“Are we going to dissect everything I say and use it as a narrative to create a story?

That’s why I keep myself to myself. ‘You put all this pressure on yourself to come and be this big star and be perfect.

‘I’m telling you, they’ll pull you down. The higher you are, the bigger the drop.”
