Earlier today, news spread all over social media that entrepreneur and celebrity stylist, Toyin Lawani gifted BBNaija finalist, Nina a car at her birthday last night.
As the news started buzzing online, people said the gift was to spite her friend turned enemy, Bobrisky, who once took to IG to express his anger that Nina whom he went all out to campaign for during the #BBNaija competition was now associating with Toyin.
Bobrisky has in a post shared on his IG page, said he is not in anyway affected by the gift. He wrote,

‘There was nothing like that. I think the car is even brand new because there were nylons on the car seat’.
As the news spread round social media, people began to wonder why the celebrity stylist made such an admirable gesture – while some lauded her, others felt she had an ulterior motive to it.

Alex has come to the defense of Tobi after a fan called him out on social media for failing to celebrate fellow ex-housemate, Nina on her birthday yesterday.
Tobi who coincidentally did not attend Nina’s birthday bash was slammed by fan for being a hater and looking down on Nina due to his inaction on her special day yesterday.
The fact that Tobi didn’t wish her a happy birthday didn’t stop Nina from sending him birthday wishes on her page.
She shared a photo of him, asking God to bless and grant his heart desires.
Reacting to this, some fans of Nina were quick to call him out for looking down on Nina after he failed to celebrate her, telling him to grow up and quit acting like a child.
But Alex came to his rescue saying that Tobi wished Nina a happy birthday privately and that doesn’t make him a bad person. She also added that fans should free Tobi as well as Miracle for not supporting Nina.
A random fan has reportedly sent ex-Big Brother Naija housemate, Ifu Ennada the sum of one million naira to support her hair care business.
Ifu shared the good news on Instagram with the caption:
So a total stranger sent me 1 million naira to support my HairCare Line @beautifuennada.
What a way to start the new month! God is good! He said he wants to remain anonymous, but I had to share this testimony.
I remember how I was reluctant to annouce beautIFU Ennada…i was really scared, but look what God is doing! Please guys, if God has placed anything in your heart to do, do it! He’ll always have your back!
I’m grateful to all of you supporting me, everyone who has preordered, we’d have a grand launch when I come back from London!

The only way to be set free is to know the truth and accept it no matter how bitter it tastes
Many of us still try to justify MASTURBATION cos we are guilty of it, but the truth is that MASTURBATION is more evil than fornication, take it or leave it, it’s a mental sex.

News broke in the middle of the night that Tiannah Styling CEO, Toyin Lawani, gifted her client, Nina with a car gift as a birthday present.
Apparently, Toyin has now assumed the status of being her godmother to Nina in the industry.
The celebrity stylist gifted Nina a new Toyota Camry for her birthday and the internet has been buzzing since the news broke.
While she was still basking in the euphoria of the unusual birthday gift, she was asked details of the car and the details of the contract signed, and the big brother finalist replied with all enthusiasm.
‘There was nothing like that. I think the car is even brand new because there were nylons on the car seat’.
When asked if there was a prior agreement or contract before she was given the car, she said ‘I don’t know what is going on, the woman just loves me so much, I don’t know what I have done to deserve this love, but I am really grateful to her’.
South Africa’s Minister of Health, Aaron Motsoaledi, has said ‘doggy’ style during sex is the major cause of cancer and stroke.
He said after three years of arduous research, he found out that the high pumping of blood during sex, when one is standing or kneeling overloads the veins in the legs which ultimately causes stroke.
He told The Insider, “On cancer – one of the main causes of cancer is stress, fatigue and tiredness.
“The most energy consuming and stressful sexual position for men is doggy; hence the connection is more than clear.
“Look, I am only giving you guys a snippet, but we will be posting the results of the full research on the Ministry website.”
He added that he is in talks with Home Affairs Minister, Malusi Gigaba to craft a legislation that will seek to outlaw this style.
According to him, occasional doggy style like only on Christmas day and Valentine is harmless but be sure that each night is suicidal.
“This is the reason why South African married men die and leave their wives a lot these days,” the 58-year-old man added.
An eight-year-old girl fell while playing and hit her head on the concrete at their home in Lagos Island.
This caused blood to accumulate in her head, but for days her father has refused to take her to the hospital for the most pathetic reason.
According to the father, he couldn’t join others who wanted to take his daughter Rebecca to the hospital days after the injury because it is a woman’s duty to take the child to the hospital, not a man’s.
Activist, Olorunfunmi Adebajo shared the news online with the child’s medical report after she was eventually taken to the hospital by concerned citizens.
Read the shocking story as narrated by Olorunfunmi below:
Why women? Rebecca one of our students had a very nasty fall. She tripped and hit her head on concrete while playing with her older sibling. We got to know 12 days later after she had bled into her scalp and the head was soft like hot puffpuff. The blood that accumulated in the head would fill a big cup.
While we panicked and sought for solutions, the father stated emphatically that he wouldn’t go to the hospital with us since it’s a woman’s responsibility to take of a child. And that he can only release his phone so we can contact his wife. He wasnt being irresponsible. That is the mindset of a lot of the men in that community.
The wife in question had major scars and stitches on her face (reportedly given by her husband). But It wasn’t even time to address the domestic violence.
Rebecca is fine now…
Thanks to Ayobami who raised money and went to the hospital with the mother and child everytime they needed to go. Thanks to Ajibulu Sam Hardeykunlay for the RedCross intervention.
I have several stories to justify women being more vulnerable in poverty situations especially due to archaic cultural norms.
Their traditions might not change today but we hope to change their world view one woman, one man, one girl and one boy at a time.
A Nigerian Twitter user, Ola O’Neil has shared how he got infected with HIV through a lady he meant on Facebook.
According to Ola, he met a good looking lady on Facebook and so he hit her up and in no time, they got down.
What happened after will change him for the rest of his life.
He shared,
Please I’d like to advise all the young men out there that it’s not all the girls that look thick, healthy and fine that they should put joystick inside. I’ve learnt the hard way and I’m still trying to forgive myself for my stupidity.
There’s this girl fine thick light skinned girl with big ass that I met on Facebook and arranged a date with, we didn’t waste too much time and in less than a week, a di*k appointment has been scheduled. We got to the hotel and paid for the room then something very unusual happened.
While we were making out and l was trying to finger f*ck her, I felt some bumps with my finger on her vag*na, I got irritated and turned off and it made my d*ck flaccid.
I then thought about the money I had paid at the hotel and said I couldn’t let it waste so I kept trying
I finally succeeded after watching porn then I used a condom but she kept asking me to go in raw which I declined. I did just one round and I stood up to clean up quickly. Unknowingly to me that I had a shave bump and the pussy juice has had contact with it.
To cut the long story short guys, I’m HIV+.
I almost lost my mind but I’m still trying to forgive myself for my mistake and I’m advising all the
Young men out there to please stay safe and be careful.
While filming Wednesday’s final episode of HBO’s “Being Serena,” the top notch sportswoman broke down as breastfeeding her eight months daughter was taking a toll on the tennis champ.
Serena Williams struggled physically after returning to full-time tennis training despite exercising before her return, Williams weighed 205 pounds.
Her body was storing fat to produce milk for her baby.
Discussing getting into shape, Williams’s coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, told her,
“There is no miracle. You stop breastfeeding, you do the right thing every day.”
“Breastfeeding is an incredibly personal thing,” said Williams, an advocate for breastfeeding. “The connection that it gives me to Olympia — it’s been one of the most magical things I’ve ever experienced.”
While Williams loves the bond breastfeeding allowed her to share with Olympia, she said she also missed certain things:
“The truth is I miss my body, being able to do other kinds of amazing things. I miss playing tennis. Mostly, I miss winning.”
Williams wants her daughter to know her as a great champion, not just as a mother.
She said:
“Winning’s always been the way I define myself, and I want it to stay that way.
Long enough for you to be able to watch me, cheer me on, and be proud of me.”

Read her Birthday message below,
PART 1
I’m about to tell you something.
Caution?Don’t go searching as there is only one on earth. I went on a search, what I found was extraordinary and I can’t help but say.
I found a being who made the earth unknowingly shake on June 1st 1994. I found a treasure you won’t trade even if it was your last option. I found that necessary trouble that brings joy. I found gold that once lost is forever irreplaceable. I found a heart so big the whole world can fit in. I found a human that gives the sun a reason to shine. I went on a deeper search, I saw a man like no other.
I saw a grown up with the heart of a child. I saw a man that God focused on his creation and crowned him an art work of focus for all but in everything, this man never looses his focus thereby creating more things for people to focus on. I saw an unapologetically ambitious man. A real man,A hottie that shuts the world up with one stare, A man that has learnt not to relent.
I saw a blessing to all in disguise. I saw the king of all the best. I saw peace of mind. I saw TOBI BAKRE. Tobi bakre is a Talented, original brilliant irreplaceable boss,amazingly knowledgeable, recognizably extraordinary. Happy birthday hun. I took all these pictures myself and carelessly but the boy is just too fine.
Nothing good comes easy. This dawned on me when I remembered we had our first long discussion with our eyes covered. Knowing you has taught me a lot and I’ll forever be grateful. Ups and downs I have faced in life but you added to those people that made the recent ones easy.
Taking a step backwards before any decision is one thing you always tell me. You make me strong whenever I feel like giving up. Only 174 days since we met and it feels like I have known you all my life. I have been looking for a befitting birthday gift but to no avail which is explainable.
There is nothing on earth that can stand as a gift more special than you and I can’t buy you a you. You have taught me that the whole world might be against me but I should always stand for the truth. The knowing of Tobi is the beginning of wisdom.
You are a whole lot of work and currently one of the most annoying people I have which makes you part of my family. The world is not ready for you. In you I found a friend to cry with and laugh with,In you I found home,in you I found peace of mind. As you add one year today, May God bless you abundantly. May good things be your portion.
May negatively run away from you. Your future is brighter than the sun. Like I always say,Tobi, your happy smile is amazing.
Fine boy physically and at heart, thanks for dealing with all my bullshit and trouble. I can never ask for a better friend. I have the king of the best.
South African rapper, AKA following his breakup with South African media personality, Bonang Matheba… has accused the latter of being a cheat and also one who practice voodoo.
In a series of tweets on his page, the rapper disclosed that while he was unpacking some of her things, he discovered an item that proves that she practices voodoo.
He wrote on his Twitter,
I never thought I would end up feeling so bitter about love.
You think you know someone until you unpack all their shit & find rocks tied up in a plastic bag in your bedroom cupboard.
I’m not talking bath salts … I’m talking the type of rocks you pull our of a river. What they’re doing wrapped up in my bedroom? I don’t know.
I abandoned my entire family only to get cheated on. That’s Karma.
The rapper and his ex-girlfriend announced their break-up in late December 2017, after dating for about two years.
The two began dating shortly after AKA ended his relationship with former girlfriend and mother of his child, DJ Zhinle.
A South African woman has begged the police to locate and arrest her estranged husband, who she claims has allegedly been physically abusing her.
The lady, Audrey Matshukud, took to her Facebook page to share details of the abuse which she claimed to have suffered at the hands of her abusive husband.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! On the 15th of April 2018 my husband Matshukudu Matshukudu physically assaulted me and I moved out of the house with my son.
I have a protection order against him which was confirmed in 2016 and I told him if he ever touched me again I am leaving and never looking back. I left and went to stay in an unknown location he followed me one time in a taxi and as I got out the taxi his car stopped behind me he assaulted me again and grabbed my then 2 year old son from me.
I stayed for days not knowing where my son was. I managed to hide at a nearby place as he drove around the block looking for me. He was arrested on the 30th of April 2018 for violation of protection order and made bail on the 4th of May 2018.
And then on the 25th of May this past Friday he managed to get the location of where I was staying got to the house and physically assaulted me again I went to open a case again that Friday and than Monday as I went to work going to report why I can’t come to work I saw him driving twice past my workplace looking into the yard of my workplace.

I AM NOT GOING TO BE A STATISTIC WHILE MY PHOTO CIRCULATES AROUND SOCIAL MEDIA AFTER BEING BEATEN OR STABBED TO DEATH.
Please help the police find him so that me and my son can live a normal life.
A woman, Jucilene Marinho, born without the female genitals has become the first in the world to undergo reconstructive surgery to have one built out of fish skin.
Marinho, 23, from Ceará, Brazil, underwent a neovaginoplasty in April last year after being born with Mayer-Rokitansky-Küster-Hause (MRKH), which left her with no cervix, uterus or ovaries.
The procedure, performed at the Federal University of Ceara, Brazil, involved creating an opening where Ms Marinho’s vagina should have been before inserting a genital-shaped mould lined with the skin of the freshwater fish tilapia, reports Daily Mail.
The fish skin was then absorbed into her body and transformed into tissue that lines the vaginal tract.
After spending three weeks in the hospital, Ms Marinho was discharged and is thrilled with the results.
She said: “My family and friends took me out to ‘toast’ my new vagina!”
Ms Marinho, who spiralled into a deep depression when she thought she would never have an intimate relationship, has even been able to have sex for the first time with her boyfriend of over a year, Marcus Santos, 24.
She added:
“It was a wonderful moment because everything worked perfectly. There was no pain; just a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction.”
Despite being born with MRKH, Ms Marinho was not diagnosed until she was 15 years old. She had a normal puberty and even experienced menstrual cramps despite never having a period.
Speaking of her diagnosis, Ms Marinho said: “I cried a lot when I found out. I thought my world had ended.
“I’d always dreamed of having a baby of my own; now I had to accept that wouldn’t be possible.”
After having the operation, Ms Marinho experienced minor internal bleeding but was told she could have sex at the end of last year.
She said:
“At first, I was very scared to do it because I thought it would hurt and I was worried it might damage the opening.
‘I didn’t feel any discomfort and there was no bleeding.
‘Everything felt sensitive in what I’m told is the right and normal way. It was perfectly natural like the opening had always been there.
“It felt so good to have something the majority of women take for granted.”
Recall Buhari had, during his Democracy Day speech on Tuesday, revealed that he’ll be signing the bill into law “in few days”.
The Reduction of Age for Election Bill popularly known on social media as #NotTooYoungToRun, will see the reduction of the minimum age to run for President from 40 to 35 years, State and Federal representatives from 30 to 25 years and 30 years for Governors and Senators.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, President Buhari said:
“If you really want to change something in Nigeria, and if you can organise yourselves and work hard towards it – you can achieve it. The outcome of such efforts is this remarkable feat.
The Young Nigerians who pushed for the bill to be signed into law have now been identified, they have received enconiums as heroes by the younger generation…
