I regret helping Segun wire – Zlatan Ibile

At the moment, the friendly relationship between emerging singer, Omoniyi Temidayo, aka Zlatan Ibile, and Internet sensation, Segun Wire, has hit the rocks.

When Zlatan fell in love with Segun’s music talent, he promised to help him. But Zlatan later alleged that the little boy’s family members were using him to extort money from people and he challenged them. Zlatan was then molested and attacked by hoodlums who were allegedly related to Segun’s family.

While speaking with Sunday Scoop, Zlatan said he withdrew his decision to help Segun when his image was getting tarnished. He said, “I don’t have much to say about the issue again because I have done what I needed to do. I have withdrawn my support. I just wanted to help him, but my image was tarnished. I withdrew because I just felt it is high time I lived my own life. I am still a young boy; I have younger ones and parents too that need help. I have yet to get to where I want to be; so, I just want to focus on myself for now.”

The graduate of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic added, “If you help someone and you got beaten for it, why won’t you regret it? Before withdrawing my support for Segun, I thought about it thoroughly and I am not happy I took such a decision. Once you mean well and people don’t appreciate it, it becomes hard for you to help others. But I don’t think I will stop helping people generally. I will only be more careful when helping others because I have learnt my lessons.”

Ibile also cleared the air on his relationship with Davido. According to him, he is not signed to Davido’s record company at the moment unlike what most people think. The 23-year-old rapper said, “I met Davido when I dropped my latest song, My Body, featuring Olamide. One day, I saw Davido dancing to my song on stage. It went viral and I had more than one million views on Instagram. That had never happened to me before. I sent Davido a message, thanking him for the support and we got talking from there.

“Though I am not signed to Davido’s record company, he has shown me great love. We have done a song together, titled Osale, which will be released soon. I am signed to Coded Music.”

Woman’s only son commits suicide after he failed Jamb

A Facebook user, Klariza Ruby Ochei has narrated how the only child of a Nigerian woman committed suicide over his jamb results.

Apparently, the young boy has written jamb thrice, and this year would be his fourth try.. But then his results was not impressive enough, and then he took his life.

According to the narrator, the mother had earlier threatened the son not to return home, he he failed his exam this year, as she has spent huge amount of money on him. “The boy took jamb this year and unfortunately, his result was unpleasing. His parents were not at home. He told his friends(his neighbor) that he didn’t do well. He told them what his mother told him. This boy went into the house locked himself, wrote a letter to his mom that his mom has never gone through his note even when he attended tutorial. She is so busy with work and he took rat poison and died’.

Gather around guys!

My mom told me a true like story yesterday that pierce my bone.

Her friend’s son wrote UTME the first time, he did well but wasn’t given admission. He wrote the next year and he wasn’t given admission as well. He didn’t give up, he wrote last Year and performed woefully, and his parents were angry with him. And his mom told him if he write again this year and doesn’t do well, he shouldn’t come back home. Because she has wasted a lot of money on him alone.

The boy took UTME this year and unfortunately, his result was unpleasing. His parents were not at home. He told his friends(his neighbor) that he didn’t do well. He told them what his mother told him.
This boy went into the house locked himself, wrote a letter to his mom that his mom has never gone through his note even when he attended tutorial. She is so busy with work and he took rat poison and died. And this boy is the only child of his mother.

Please I beg of you parents never put fear in a child when it comes to academics. Even if he performed woefully he can learn a vocational trade and be successful. There are a lot of children who don’t do well in classroom but in the room of vocational skills they are unbeatable.

Besides there is always a room for change, You want your child to go far than you’ve gone then you shouldn’t do it a Scarry way. Believe me I am a teenager too and I tell you parents IT’S NOT EASY!! If it’s easy why didn’t you get to that stage you want your child to be now during your own time?? The funniest part is some parents don’t have Time for their children. To go through their children books is like a big task. Then how would you know if his failure has been telling on him long before now??

Please let’s always encourage our children.. let’s give them the support we can let’s show them love n care as parents. No child is dull. It’s either faults are from the parents or teachers. Parents spend quality time with your children I beg you.

#BBNaija TBoss Dad marries New wife in Edo State (photos)

tboss dad marries new wife

Second Runner-up of the Big Brother Naija 2017 Reality TV show, TBoss has a Romanian Mother, and a Nigerian Dad from Benin, Edo State.

TBoss and Her Dad.

Recall in 2017, when the Kemen-TBoss saga was trending, her father, Engr. Vincent made a comment after Comedian AY joked about the issue. He took to social media to write in 2017:

I felt horrified that AY the comedian would make a joke from others’ pains and heartbreaks. Within 5minutes of meeting her brother at the Airport upon her arrival in Nigeria, TBoss directed her brother to start all legal proceedings against Kemen. When the issue was brought to my attention, l I knew TBoss was deeply hurt by Kemen’s action.

I will stand by my daughter any day and will go to any length to protect and uphold her dignity. As for Helen Paul, she NEVER liked TBoss. God will judge her accordingly. Hater.

AY, it’s most unfortunate that you have heaped burning coal of fire on your daughter’s head. With time you will cry more than I cried for the humiliation meted out to my daughter in the Big Brother Naija 2017 House by Kemen. AY, I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU. Your wife and all your daughters shall be raped before your very own eyes. This is a solemn promise. Just wait.

Was Kemen the only male in Biggie’s House? TBoss abhorred his sexual overtures and she told him so on several occasions.
Kemen’s action should be condemned by all and sundry.

Congratulations to Mr. Idowu on his new wife.

Guy takes selfie with singer Ebony Reigns’ corpse

An unidentified guy has gone viral on social media, and the reason is beyond weird!! He posed with Singer Ebony Reign’s corpse.

A photo circulating online shows the young man standing beside Ebony Reigns corpse for a selfie.

The photo seems to be taken yesterday during preparation for Ebony to be laid in state when it arrived from the mortuary.

Taking a close and well look at the photo, you can see clearly that the guy intentionally posed and asked a friend of his to take a photo of him with Ebony’s corpse.

See photos below;

The burial ceremony of 21-year-old Ghanaian Dancehall singer, Pricilla Opoku-Kwarteng popularly known as Ebony Reigns held today, after a well-attended tribute concert took place last night at the International Trade Fair Center in her honour.

Here are some photos from the burial ceremony:

Sex is fun, makes you worry less – Actress Yetunde Bakare

Nollywood actress Yetunde Bakare has surely established a niche for herself in the highly saturated movies industry.

The versatile actress, who is able to interpret diverse roles, has opend up about sex and according to her, it is fun and makes an individual worry less.

With unforgettable and great exploits in films like Ajobi, Alani Baba Labake, Omo Olodo, Awa Okunrin, Awolu goes to School, Amisu to name a few, Yetunde Bakare has quietly entrenched herself as one to watch in the Yoruba movie industry.

Yetunde Bakare in recent chat with Potpourri, bares her mind on sex, love and dating, albeit sexual harassment in the industry.

“Sex is a normal thing that happens between a lady and a guy, it is just a way of expressing your emotional self.

When you have sex you have a lot of fun, exercise and stuff, and you will be relieved of some things.

It is a very good moment because you worry less and you just want to have that fun when you’re doing it.

You want to reach the climax,” she stated simply.

And sharing her experience concerning randy directors, Yetunde recounted one she would not forget in a hurry.

“I can’t tell you names but a lot of challenges and issues like that. There was one that was so serious that we had to fight.

It got to a stage that he started sending me messages on my Facebook, abusing me and all and he is a star for that matter; he is a very popular actor,” she said.

With a knack for playing roles many of her colleagues wouldn’t dare touch, the actress says she would do sensual roles short of making love on set.

I’ve not done anything like sex but I’ve kissed, I’ve done bed scenes.

“I’ve kissed for real even having my boobs fondled is no big deal because we know we are working and your mind is more on what you’re doing rather than thinking about something else, so, it’s just part of the job,” she said.

Ugandans hire white man to play Jesus for them, social media reacts!

A white man was allegedly hired to play the role of Jesus Christ for Palm Sunday Celebration at Munyonyo Martyrs Shrine in Kampala, Uganda.

..and this has of course caused a heated debate on Social Media.

Palm Sunday is the start of the Holy Week and the day Christians celebrate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, one week before he was crucified.

But a community Catholic church in the country’s capital decided to use a ‘real’ White man to play the role of Jesus Christ whom they probably felt is White also – thereby causing unrest among Ugandan netizens.

Some online users were quick to criticize the pictures after they were shared online.

Some said Africans who are not proud of themselves – like to feel inferior to the Whites while others argued that it is just a play and nothing else matters.

KBrule shades organizers of #BBNaija after Khloe was spotted in South Africa

Disqualified Big Brother Naija 2018 housemate, KBrule, has reacted to the viral video were Khloe was spotted in a South African Airport ahead of tonight’s live show.

Recall last week, the host of the show, Ebuka revealed that out of the 11 evicted housemates, 2 will return tonight, and it’s all based on votes from the viewers.

Last night, a viral video of Khloe went viral.. and now, KBrule has taken a swipe at the organizers of the show.

He wrote; “Voting? In a country that voted our current HOS, I didn’t expect much. If you voted thank you.Now I can focus on real life issues and get back to work. Oh well fuck em dawg, we gon see how hard they ride”

At least we know that KBrule won’t be going back into the house tonight.. ?

#BBNaija: How viewers voted for their favourite housemates to be brought back to the house.

The statistics of how housemates voted for their favorite housemates to be brought back into the house has been displayed.

Earlier tonight, formerly evicted housemates, Anto and Khloe were brought back into the Big Brother House and in few moments, they’d be reuniting with their fellow housemates.

Anto came first in the voting polls with a total of 20.67%, while Khloe followed with 18.46% – this lead has had them return to the Big Brother house and viewers can’t wait to see what they’ve to bring.

The rest of the evicted housemate’s statisctics of how they were voted for is seen below:

#BBNaija: “I need to set Cee-C straight” — Khloe after her return to the house

khloe return

Following her majestic return to the Big Brother House moments ago, Queen Koko, Khloe has shared what she plans to do next in the house.

Obviously remorseful about her disqualification from the house weeks ago, Khloe says she’s learnt her lesson and won’t let her emotions get the best of her this time.

… BUT.

She’s bringing back what she’s known for – DRAMA! – the beauty has said that the drama queen is back and now we know there’s someone who’s going to give Aunty Cee-C a run for her money.

Matter of fact, Khloe stated specifically that she’s going to set the controversial housemate, Cee-C straight when she returns to the house – we certainly can’t wait for this to happen.

Khloe later on declared that she’s open to anything after she was asked what her relationship status will be with Teddy A – She was asked what it’ll be like with Teddy A who’s quite fond of her and she said she’s “Open for anything”

If there’s one thing we’re certain of… it’s that Khloe defines drama and we sure as hell can’t wait for her to bring it back to the house!

#BBNaija: Khloe is the second housemate to be back into the house!

Viewers have highly anticipated over the past week the next set of housemates who’d be returning to the Big Brother house and now, the wait is finally over!

Khloe has been announced as the second housemate who’d be returning to the Big Brother house – this comes after it was reported earlier that she was spotted at an Airport and was allegedly heading to South Africa.

It’s apparent now that she indeed was spotted at the airport and was on her way to SA to return to the Big Brother house.

Khloe is(was) one of the most controversial contestant of the Big Brother show until she and her strategic pair, K-Brule were disqualified during the first Live eviction show few weeks back.

Well, we know for sure that we miss Queen Koko and we’re glad to have her back!

ANTO was the First Housemate to be returned to the house!

#BBNaija: Anto is the First housemate to be back into the house!

This episode is certainly one of the twistiest Live episodes of the Big Brother Naija show and the reason is no surprise to anyone.

The FIRST housemate to be brought into the Big Brother house is ANTO!!!

Shockingly, it was just a week ago that she was evicted from the Big Brother house cause she had the least votes and now, paradoxically she’s back…

Anto was the last housemate to leave the Big Brother House last week after she had the least votes from viewers and now, she’s first housemate to return to the Big Brother house after she’s been voted in by this same viewers…

Speaking with Ebuka when she returned on stage, the beauty couldn’t hide her excitement as she declared she’d be upping her game this time around as she’s been given the second chance to..

According to Ebuka, the next housemates who’ve returned to the house will sneaked into the house by 03:00am when the rest of the housemates are asleep…

“If you do not have $10m to offer me, please shut and don’t criticize my music” – Paul Okoye

One half of the defunct P-square group, Paul Okoye just might have hinted that the feud between himself and brother, Peter is far from over.

In an interview with Dotun of Cool FM, Paul stated that despite people being on him to release an album he will not be doing that soon.

“I thought of releasing an album this year, I changed my mind because if I do, most people would think it is from the 2017 group. I do not want to do that; instead I would rather continue the Rudeboy movement. Why would I release an album and when people listen to it, they begin to have different thoughts?

“I struggle with the fact that I want to talk about myself alone but people want me to talk about both of us. As time goes on, it will fade off unless people start reminding me of that. Trust me, I have granted so many interviews and once somebody asks a direct question about the past, I tell them that I cannot answer that. I just don’t want to live in the past anymore, however, I’m sorry but the music would still be what it was like in the past.

Right now, I want to push out my brand and my music which comes out about once every two months. If I release an album, some people would have heartbreak; so there is no need for that. Everything has changed for me even my circle. I am sorry but my brother Jude is still with me. I cannot change my music except you have $10m to offer me. But if you cannot do so, then shut up and listen to the music.”

On collaborating with other artistes;

“Everybody is good, I do not have a clique and fortunately, I am cool with every artiste, I do not have issues with anybody. Even in the past, it was me that they called if they wanted us to do songs together. I would rather not work with anybody for now because in the past, we hardly did collaborations. I am not proving anything; all I want to do is have a good idea, do a good song, dish it out to people and they would enjoy it,” said Paul Okoye.

Paul had afore time stated in an interview with The Nation, that he never left the “P-Square” group when his twin brother, Peter, opted out and that he moved on with his solo career after waiting for two months to see if their difference could be resolved.

In his own words:

“There was a bit of a breakdown when it happened and everyone was in shock because usually when things happen like that, I wait for almost nine months. But this time, I had to move on with my life and under two months, it became normal for me. It’s the same old thing. There’s nothing new. The only part I know is different is performing alone because at the early stage I wasn’t used to it but now, I am used to it”.

It’s over for model, Amber Rose and rapper 21 Savage after months of dating.

The founder of SlutWalk confirmed that she and the rapper have split while appearing on “Big Boy’s Neighborhood” radio show Friday.

“To be in a relationship, in general, is very difficult and to be famous and in a relationship is even more difficult because you have teams and people,” Rose explained.

“Then you wind up and arguing about things that you wouldn’t usually argue about as a normal person, but I love him.”

“I really love him. I miss him,” she continued. “I think about him every day.”

Although she and 21 Savage are done, Rose doesn’t consider herself technically single because she’s not “ready to mingle.”

He was evicted after spending just two weeks in the Big Brother house.

Not long after his eviction, he became the pioneer ambassador for Pay Porte, an online food store.

In a recent rant he posted on His Instagram earlier today, he’s called out David..

Speedy says Davido’s followers should stop “worshiping”..

Stop listening to Pastors like, Oyedepo, Adeboye, Fatoyinbo – Daddy Freeze

OAP, Daddy Freeze has said advised his followers not to listen to “powerful” men of God, if they really want to become as rich as Bills Gate and Aliko Dangote, the 2nd richest man in the world, and Africa’s richest man respectively.

Sharing a collaged photo of Bill Gates, Aliko Dangote and popular Nigerian clerics, Bishop David Oyedepo and Pastor Enoch Adeboye he adviced his followers not to listen to clerics if they want to be billionaires.

According to Daddy Freeze these clerics can’t lead you to heaven because they don’t know the way there.

Read Below:

A CONCOCTION OF CONTRADICTIONS

If you want to end up like Dangote or Bill Gates, stop listening to the men pictured above.

The sad thing about this, is that they can’t even lead you to heaven because they don’t know the way there…

If the scriptures are anything to go by, teachers of religious law are hell bound, TITHING IS THE LAW!

Another fallacy is the prosperity teaching that says: “You can be like Dangote, Dangote doesn’t have two heads”.

Let me break your hearts today, in the area of entrepreneurship;

DANGOTE AND BILL GATES HAVE 2,000 HEADS! They have a rare and unique talent that isn’t available to just any and everyone. Remember in all of Egypt ONLY Joseph could interpret pharaohs dream.

Anyone who tells you that you can do business like Dangote is a LIAR, it’s like telling you that you can sing like Michael Jackson, understand Physics like Einstein or play football like Messi or Ronaldo.

I CAN NEVER BE LIKE DNGOTE, because I don’t have his unique entrepreneurial gift.

My unique gift is deep understanding of, and the ability to teach the SCRIPTURES, which I have shown with much dexterity, what is your gift? You want to play football like Messi? Welldonsir, find your gift today and harness it.

◄ Matthew 23 ►

[13] “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either. [15] “What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you cross land and sea to make one convert, and then you turn that person into twice the child of hellf you yourselves are!

“I sold ‘Okpa’ with my mother for 10 years” – Gospel singer, Frank Edwards

Frank Edwards, renowned gospel singer has shared his life story of how he survived as a child.

He also advised people that whatever suffering they go through is training for the future.

He has taken to his Instagram page to share the inspirational story of how his survived as a child by selling ‘Okpa’

Okpa is a delicacy popularly known in the eastern part of Nigeria.

He had sold it for ten years with his mother.

In a bid to inspire and advice people about waiting for God’s time, the gospel singer also stated that all the difficulties people go through before they succeed is training for the future.

Edwards says he sold Okpa for ten years.

This experience at the time made him familiar with business strategy and dealing with customers.

Furthermore, he also added that his experience gave him training for the future.

According to him, his mom made the okpa daily and he had to sell it with her.

He shared how this caused his eyes to become permanently red due to the damaged caused when he fanned the flames of his mother’s cooking.

Read his post below:

“You see this here it’s called okpa.

“My mum was making it and we were both selling it , this was my breakfast and dinner everyday…

The process of making it was ridiculous.. my mom used fire wood and I was the one fanning the fire because kerosene was luxury..

So I had smoke entering my eyes 5 hours everyday for over 10 years except Sundays.

“My eyes were always Red until it became permanent then I started having eye problem cus I was always rubbing my eyes with dirty hands trying to clear the smoke..

Cus I didn’t understand why my vision was blurred ,, my mum had same issue too with her eyes,, regardless we still hit the road to sell.

“BUT GUESS WHAT THAT WAS WHEN I DEVELOPED A STRONG & NATURAL BUSINESS MINDSET,

I KNEW A LOT ABOUT MONEY EARLY ,

I KNEW HOW TO CONVINCE PEOPLE TO BUY, I KNEW THAT SMOKE IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO STOP ME,

I KNEW THE ONES THAT BUY ON CREDIT AND NEVER PAY SO I ONLY GO TO THEM WHEN THE MARKET IS SO BAD ..

BECAUSE ITS BETTER TO SELL ON CREDIT THAN TO HAVE IT SPOIL..

WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH TODAY IS TRAINING , THOUGH IT MAY LOOK LIKE SUFFERING BUT ITS TRAINING ,

DONT LOOK FOR EASY WAY OUT , GO THROUGH IT AND COME OUT TOUGHER!!!

“Though today I have permanent red eyes to the point when some ppl see me they ask;

“Do you smoke” I’m like God forbid! sometimes it hurts , most times I laugh because I’m like. .

“IF ONLY YOU KNOW “ but how ever I am a happy man and I have enough pages in my book of testimony to encourage my children.

GO THROUGH IT AND ADD PAGES TO YOUR TESTIMONY BOOK! BECAUSE YOUR BLESSING IS READY WAITING,

YOU ARE ONLY BEING TRAINED TO HANDLE IT.”

Meghan Markle approves of Prince Harry’s three ex-girlfriends to attend wedding

Out of the 2,640 members of public that Prince Harry and his fiancee, Meghan Markle, have invited for their much anticipated royal wedding, three of the guests are the prince’s ex-girlfriends and Meghan has reportedly approved of the invite.

It was reported last month that the prince had invited long-term ex-lover Chelsy Davy and his actress ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas to witness him saying ‘I do’ to Meghan.

It was also claimed that Ellie Goulding, who dated Harry just before he started taking an interest in Meghan and even had to deny she was pregnant with his baby on live TV, has also received an invite for the grand occasion.

Ellie was also invited to sing at William’s wedding to Kate in April 2011.

Ellie’s invite reportedly extends to her 26-year-old boyfriend Caspar Jopling, who studied at Eton College, where Harry and William were also educated.

A source said, “Ellie has stayed good pals with Harry and is obviously really excited. She has no plans to perform this time, but just wants to celebrate her friend’s marriage.”

“Harry has stayed good friends with Chelsy and Cressida, so they will be there,” one of Harry’s friends was also quoted to have said.

“He made sure there were no hard feelings when they split up. I don’t think Meghan will mind,” he added.

The 33-year-old prince has since decided to settle down with Ms Markle, 36, and it seems the two of them are not the jealous type.

But if you thought these invitations meant Ms Markle’s ex-husband Trevor Engleson would also get to witness the nuptials, you’d probably be mistaken.

They’re not exactly on good terms after Mr. Engleson, a TV producer, decided to create a new show about a divorced American woman who marries someone from the royal family.

Harry and Meghan are due to tie the knot in a lavish royal wedding on May 19.
