“I don’t know how to handle the pressure that comes with fame” – Ilebaye confesses

Big Brother Naija ‘All Stars’ winner, Ilebaye Odiniya, has disclosed that she is having trouble adjusting to her newfound status as a celebrity.

She said that she decided to psychologically be ready for stardom before going back to the BBNaija house, but she said she didn’t know how to deal with the pressure that came with it.

The 22-year-old reality TV star said in an open interview with The Punch that her rise to stardom has given her and her family numerous opportunities.

Ilebaye said;

“I don’t really know how to handle the pressure that comes with fame. Before I went into the BBN house, I told myself that l had to be mentally ready for everything that would come.

I just have to keep things on the low and be able to adapt to whatever comes my way. Besides, I see anything that comes my way as what is expected. It is left for me to overlook things, including clashes and backbiting, and just focus on my future.”

Fame has done some things for me. It has given me a family; I have a lot of fans. There are many people who love me for who I am. It has brought me good luck and so many opportunities. It has basically made me the star I am today.”

Speaking on the perception people have about her pretending to be from a humble background, the self-proclaimed Gen Z baddie said;

“Regarding the notion held by some people that I am from a rich home but was behaving as if I was from a modest background in the show, I will say that I was not being humble. I was just being myself in the house; that’s all.”

 

“My lover and I don’t believe in marriage” – Iyabo Ojo reveals

Popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has stated that despite not being married, she and her lover, Paul Okoye, popularly known as Paul O, are happy in their relationship.

The Nollywood actress claimed that she and the music executive don’t want to be married because they do not believe in the institution.

Iyabo emphasised that marriage is overrated on a recent episode of her TV show, Iyabo Ojo TV, alongside veteran musician Charly Boy.

She said:

“I am enjoying my relationship. I am enjoying it. Luckily for me, he [Paulo Okoye] also doesn’t believe in marriage. We feel like it is overrated.”

Charly Boy concurred:

“I agree with you that marriage is overrated. My son called me the other day and said, ‘Dad, why can’t people have a contract and say we will just do five years in marriage and if we are lucky and happy, we renew the contract?’

It sounds funny but you know, there are different coping mechanisms because these days, marriage is not what it used to be when our parents got married. Marriage is a little bit muddled up now. And people are a little bit more individualistic than they used to be before. Nobody wants to serve anybody. Everybody wants to get their own. So, that’s where the problem starts.”

Former Paralympic Champion Oscar Pistorius Granted Parole, Set To Leave Prison 10 Years After K!lling Girlfriend

Former Paralympic champion Oscar Pistorius has been granted parole and will be released from prison nearly a decade after being incarcerated for the murder of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp.

He successfully won his case during a parole board hearing, leading to his imminent release.

The South African athlete, who is a double amputee, shot and killed Steenkamp on Valentine’s Day in 2013.

In 2016, he was sentenced to 13 years in prison for her murder, claiming that he mistook her for an intruder and that the shooting was a tragic mistake.

The Department of Corrections in South Africa announced today that Pistorius will be released on January 5, following which he will undergo therapy for anger management.

However, he will remain under supervision and will be restricted from leaving the area of Waterkloof, where he will be residing with his family for a period of five years.

Singabakho Nxumalo, spokesperson for the Department of Corrections, emphasized that parole does not signify the end of Pistorius’ sentence, but rather a continuation of it outside the prison facility.

The conditions attached to his release include specific guidelines regarding his presence at home and work, as well as a prohibition on alcohol and drug consumption.

In response to the decision, Rob Matthews, spokesperson for June Steenkamp, Reeva’s mother, stated that the parole board believed Pistorius met the criteria for release.

 Chef Dammy invited

At the time, she received the full backing of her pastor and her fellow church members. However, things went south between them for reasons best known to them.

A few weeks back, she called him out on social media and accused him of alleged threats to life, but she didn’t reveal details of the conflict.

Well, in a new development, the clergyman has filed a petition against her, demanding that she retract the threat to life allegation.

This prompted the police to invite her for questioning, which she honored. She was thereafter granted administrative bail after providing a surety.

“You are more attractive to a man when you don’t ‘need’ him” – Actress Shaffy Bello says as she encourages women to ‘bring something to the table’

Actress Shaffy Bello says

Popular Nollywood actress, Shaffy Bello, has emphasized the need for women to contribute something substantial to their relationship or marriage.

She stated this in a recent chat with media personality Stephanie Coker on her podcast. This comes on the heels of the trending discourse about what women ‘bring to the table’ in a relationship.

According to Shaffy, it’s important for women to have something to offer a man in a dating relationship or marriage, just as men do.

Actress Shaffy Bello says

The 60-year-old thespian added that men find a woman more attractive when she doesn’t need him to do everything for her.

In her words;

“I would tell the ladies never tell a man ‘what do you mean? what do I bring to the table?’. I am not one of those. I think we both should ask ourselves what are we both bringing to the table. If he is bringing something to the table, What are you bringing to the table? I don’t want a liability if I am a man. I don’t want to marry a liability. As a matter of fact, you are even more attractive when you don’t need him. When you don’t need me, you are more attractive. You are just needy, that is not attractive”
