“Nigeria does not have the best women in the world” – Singer Ruger (video)

Singer Ruger

Nigerian singer Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, has expressed his opinion that Nigeria does not have the best women in the world.

The ‘Bounce’ crooner made this statement during a recent interview with Beat FM. According to him, there are good girls in Nigeria, but they are not the best.

When asked about the country with the best women, he declined to respond, seemingly to avoid potential criticism from Nigerians.

Singer Ruger

He further noted that any man who has traveled outside Nigeria would agree with his statement that Nigerian women are not the best.

“100% we don’t have the best women in the world. That is a fact. We don’t. It’s straightforward. No man that has been around will just say that. We don’t have the best women. We have good women but we don’t have the best,” he said

Speaking further, Ruger mentioned that he would never bring any girl on stage when he is performing in Nigeria, unlike in other countries.

He explained that this decision is primarily because Nigerians were quick to criticize him for bringing ladies on stage in other countries.

The 24-year-old singer added,

“My people are toxic. I know them. And most of the girls in Nigeria are in a relationship. I don’t want someone to come for me. Nigerian girls are liars. They will be in a relationship and will be lying.”

“When he was drinking, smoking and associating with evil men, he did not know the harvest would come so soon” – Pastor Tunde Bakare speaks on Mohbad’s death

Pastor Tunde Bakare speaks

Nigerian clergyman Pastor Tunde Bakare has reacted to the sudden death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, better known as Mohbad, who passed away at 27 on Tuesday, September 12.

During a sermon in Leicester, United Kingdom, on Sunday, September 24, 2023, the clergy stated that the late singer may have died as a consequence of his actions while alive.

 Pastor Tunde Bakare speaks

He asserted that when the late singer was drinking, smoking, and associating with evil people while he was alive, he didn’t realize that the ‘harvest’ would come so soon.

Speaking on the topic ‘Harvest’, the former presidential aspirant said,

“My wife and I listened to a tape last night on Mohbad. How many of you know MohBad? The Nigerian artiste who died at 27? Mohbad.

When he was drinking and smoking and associating with evil men, he did not know that the harvest would come so soon and that he would soon be cut down at the prime of youth.

I am not blaming him, I am just telling you. Is Mohbad a good name? Moh Bad.

There was a young man older than I am. He was a driver and his nickname was Èsù (devil). Everywhere he went, people hailed him as Èsù and he would acknowledge them.

The day he crashed the car and he killed people and they threw him behind jail when he was brought out, he said ‘Méè Sèsù Méè Sèsù (I am not the devil).”

The bereaved lady wrote,

“Also, I want to talk about people being 100% inappropriate and saying the worst things to people grieving. A woman called to pay condolences and just blurted out “it’s such a shame you never gave your dad a grandchild.

“Another person tapped me while I was crying at the cemetery to say “this isn’t what’s important now, focus on finding a husband and having a child” my father’s body hadn’t even entered the ground. I didn’t know either of these people before.

“By the time I realized what was said, I just gathered myself and walked away because really, I didn’t have the strength. It wasn’t my problem. My daddy was gone and he was never going to speak to me again.”

Juliana Olayode shares

Popular Nollywood actress Juliana Olayode, also known as ‘Toyo Baby,’ has recounted her battle with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

She also disclosed that she had Psoriasis, which is a chronic condition that causes symptoms such as scaly, dry, or itchy skin.

However, she stated that when she had had enough of the health complications, she decided to stop medications and take control of her health by combining her faith, prayer, and lifestyle changes. Fortunately, both ailments stopped.

Sharing a snippet of the video, she wrote,

“I bled for four months non stop.

I’m sharing this because I know there are a lot of women battling with hormonal imbalance /PCOS.

You probably feel tired, weird, and ashamed. You probably have spent so much money on medication and you haven’t seen any changes.

I was dealing with hormonal imbalance/ PCOS and Psoriasis at the same time.

I woke up one day and I said “Enough is enough” I was tired of swallowing drugs and putting all sort of ointment on my skin. I prayed and exercised my faith and everything changed.

When I got my healing I also have to change my lifestyle/ the things I eat. Majority of the health issues we have is because of the things that we consume. And to stay healthy you must eat right”

BBNaija All Stars: Moment Angel picked Soma over her boyfriend after her eviction (video)

Angel picked

Former Big Brother Naija ‘All Stars’ housemate, Angel Smith, has sparked discussions on social media after she chose her romantic interest in the house, Soma, over her real boyfriend.

The 23-year-old star was evicted alongside Soma and Venita during the Sunday live eviction show on September 24.

It’s worth noting that she developed a special bond with Soma, who was a housemate in the “See Gobe” season in 2017 before reappearing in the “All Stars” edition.

What makes this more intriguing is that they both had partners outside the house before deciding to pursue a romantic relationship inside the house.

So, after her eviction, the show’s host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, questioned her about her choice between the two men in her life. This followed his earlier question to Soma, who had chosen Angel without any hesitation.

In response, Angel excitedly chose Soma, thus ditching the relationship she had outside the house.

“You got a little emotional when Soma was evicted. I remember, I just asked him [Soma] who he would pick. Are you picking him as well over your other situation [relationship]?” Ebuka asked.

Angel replied, “Of course, I’m going to see my baby right now.”

Ebuka asked, “Which of them?”

In response, Angel said, “Soma!”

“Mohbad’s mother never abandoned him, she left the father when he was 12” – Mohbad’s aunty (Video)

A woman who identifies as the sister of late singer, Mohbad’s mother has opened up about the relationship between Mohbad and his mother before he died.

She revealed that after their separation, the couple divided up the three kids among themselves, and she only kept the last child she could take care of.

Nevertheless, she never left them behind. According to Mohbad’s aunt, the kids were always in touch with her.

She continued by claiming that Mohbad always told his mother about his issues with Naira Marley, the head of Marlian Music.

Her words in translation:

“This is Mohbad’s mom’s junior sister. People said the mom left him; she did not; she was with them. When she left them, Mohbad was 12 and the senior was 15 years old.
The father did not allow her to take him but they agreed to take care of them together.
Even during the Naira Marleys issue, she was there for him, and they did what they could. When the wife also gave birth, she was there to take care of the wife and there was a cordial relationship between them.
People should stop saying his mum is reaping from where she did not sow.”

“I was a chubby kid who endured bullying” – Kizz Daniel reveals

Popular Nigerian singer, Oluwatobiloba Daniel Anidugbe, professionally known as Kizz Daniel, has opened up about the traumatic experience he had as a growing child and the effect it had on his social life.

He admitted that when he was younger, he was overweight, and as a result, his peers teased and harassed him to the point that he began staying inside.

The “Buga” crooner claimed that because of his horrific childhood experience, he still has trouble interacting with others.

Kizz shared this during a recent conversation on the Afrobeats Podcast, which is hosted by British-Nigerian media personality Adesope Olajide.

The musician added that he uses alcohol as a coping mechanism occasionally to help him deal with social anxiety.

He said;

“I have built a world of my own in my head since I was little. Because growing up, I was a fat kid. I was chubby. So, I don’t go out because the kids in the area make fun of me. They called me orobo (someone who is fat). And they bullied me. So I always stay indoors.

During that time that I always stayed indoors, I’d already built this fantasy world in my head. In the world that I have built in my head, I’m very comfortable in that space.

So, I reintroduced myself to the world after I lost weight; I lost all forms of social skills. I don’t know how to communicate. I don’t know how to socialise with people.”

I didn’t reveal that I’m Mohbad’s mother because he was worried I might get kidnapped or killed — Mohbad’s mother opens up (video)

Mohbad's mother opens

The mother of the late Nigerian singer, Mohbad, has revealed that she didn’t disclose her identity as his mother because her son was afraid that she might be harmed.

She opened up about their relationship during a recent interview with TVC, amidst the controversy surrounding claims that she allegedly left the singer and his sister for 15 years, yet is the one receiving sympathy messages and visits from dignitaries, while the father who raised him is facing criticism.

She explained that she lived with her son for ten days before his tragic passing and shared how he took good care of her and always wanted to have her around.

Mohbad's mother opens

Below is a translation from her interview, which was conducted in Yoruba:

“I don’t tell people I’m Mohbad’s mother, because he was scared I might get kidnapped or killed

“I’ve spent just five months in the new house he rented for me, he even visited me 3 times. He took me out of where I was living before to Ikorodu, he said he wanted to be visiting me from time to time.

“He just rented a huge space comprising of 3 shops for me. I’m yet to open it. He gave me money that I used to buy 2 big freezers and a big generator. The day he died, he promised to send N5 million so I can buy goods to stock up.

“His wife said she’ll come and meet me, that I should get someone that will support me because we cannot buy the goods at once, that it will take us 3 days to buy all the goods.

“But now I’m scared, I can’t go back to Ikorodu, I called someone to help me rent the shop out and give me the money. My son did not enjoy himself, he lived in fear. He did not enjoy himself.

“Whenever I visit him here, he sits right there and I’ll sit with him, then take him upstairs to sleep but he’ll be shaking his head. I even thought all those problems and attacks had stopped, but when they beat him again recently after he dropped his EP, I said these people haven’t left you, and he usually went to the police station to report, because I witnessed it twice.

“I spent 10 days with him, I did not know he was going to die. I left on Saturday and he died on Monday. And the reason I left on Saturday was because he had a show, he begged, begged, and begged me not to leave. So I told him that won’t he allow me to go to church on Sunday, that I’ve missed church for two weeks and I needed to go and pray because I’m losing myself. It was the church that I mentioned that made him let me go.

“Because him and his wife were pranking me, I told him that I was going, but because he didn’t want me to go, he delayed giving me my feeding money because he knows I’ll leave if he gives me the money. Normally, he gives me feeding allowance every month.”

Instead of ‘wasting’ millions on weight loss surgery, you should have joined Marlian Music – Content creator, Tomama tells RealWarriPikin; she reacts

Tomama tells

Content creator and actress, Tomama, also known as Datwarrigirl, has given a sarcastic advice to her colleague, Anita Asuoha, better known as Real Warri Pikin, amid the ongoing controversy in the Nigerian music industry.

In a video she shared on Instagram, Tomama said Anita, who recently underwent a weight loss surgery to transform her appearance, shouldn’t have spent her money on the procedure.

 Tomama tells

She said, in her opinion, Anita wasted her hard-earned money to shed some weight, when she could have simply joined the controversial record label, Marlian Music, owned by singer Naira Marley.

This comes amidst the scandal involving Naira Marley, following the death of his former record label signee, Mohbad.

 Tomama tells

Netizens have been juxtaposing the appearance of artistes before and after joining the Marlian Music label, speculating that some had lost weight.

In light of this, Tomama jokingly suggested to Real Warri Pikin that she should have considered joining the label instead of spending millions on surgery.

Watch her speak below,

The video captured the attention of Real Warri Pikin, and she laughed over it and expressed her agreement with Tomama’s statement.

She added that she might have also adopted a ‘foreign’ accent, as seen in the label’s signees.

Real Warri Pikin wrote,

“Ode ni e😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The lady, identified as @kuntakitten on the microblogging platform X, said she was having lunch at the restaurant when she saw the woman, whom she claims is a maid, sitting on the floor while they enjoyed a meal as a family.

Woman calls

She shared photos of the family sharing a table and the maid sitting on the floor with her hand on her cheeks, and wrote,

“You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him…We had lunch at Zen Garden, Nairobi, and we spotted this family that had their maid sit on the floor while they dined! In this day and age,” she wrote.

Woman calls

In a follow-up post, the woman revealed that she had to take down the post because the family allegedly harassed her when she tried to speak with the maid.

“I asked to talk to the maid but they refused…just a lot of bitter arguments and a fight with another patron. I deleted the tweet but I hope you all have screenshots. Shame on them,” she added.

“As a people, we can overdo things” – Uche Jombo knocks those tear-gassed after Mohbad’s candlelight procession

Popular Nollywood actresses and old-time friends, Uche Jombo has criticized the Nigerians who, after experiencing Mohbad’s candlelight procession on September 21, stayed at the Lekki Toll Gate.

The candlelight vigil was organized to commemorate the late singer’s life and work.

According to reports, the Nigerian police used tear gas to disperse the crowd after originally asking that people leave peacefully.

Uche Jombo expressed her concerns about those who stayed at the toll gate after the event was over on her Twitter account.

The candlelight parade in Mohbad’s memory came to an end at 8:00 p.m, with organizers pleading with attendees to go home.

She wrote;

“So candlelight vigil for mohbad finished at 8pm and some people went to toll gate … why? I saw that tear gas video and thought it was at the vigil….. it was after sometimes as a people we can over do things.”

In other news, Nollywood actress, Mary Remmy Njoku, has responded to those calling for a DNA test on the five-year-old son of the late singer, Mohbad, to confirm his paternity.

Recall that following the singer’s death on Tuesday, September 12, his long-term partner, Wunmi, revealed that they were married with a child before his passing.

This revelation surprised many because the singer had led a private life and kept his personal affairs off the internet until his death.

Amid the controversy surrounding the cause of his death, some netizens, led by controversial social media commentator Very Dark Man, have demanded a DNA test be conducted after the singer’s corpse is exhumed to establish the paternity of his son.

According to Very Dark Man, his wife is also a suspect until proven innocent, and thus, a DNA test should be carried out to demonstrate that she had no motive to harm the singer.

In response to this, Mary Njoku took to her Instagram page to criticize those advocating for a DNA test, describing their request as ‘evil.’

She asserted that the late singer’s wife is still mourning the death of her husband, who was her provider and protector, and should be allowed to grieve in peace.

Bella Shmurda requested that the authorities apprehend the alleged perpetrators of Mohbad’s untimely death and divulge their identities.

“Justice for Mohbad’s dad!” – Man blows hot over the singer’s ‘absentee’ mom living in his house and receiving dignitaries while his father who raised him is vilified (video)

Man blows

A Nigerian man has expressed outrage over the fact that Mohbad’s mother is the one living in his house and receiving dignitaries, even though it was the father who raised him.

It’s no news that the singer’s mother has been the one visited by sympathizers, including political dignitaries like the Lagos state deputy governor, Femi Hamzat, Senator Elisha Abbo, actress Tonto Dikeh, and others, since he suddenly passed away on Tuesday, September 12.

Man blows

On the flip side, his father has faced heavy criticism on social media for his comments about his properties and complaining about receiving only N1 million out of the N2 million Davido donated to their family. Many condemned him for seemingly focusing on his son’s assets barely two days after his passing.

In response to the mixed opinions about the singer’s parents, a young man, while chatting with his friends, shared his pain that Mohbad’s mother is currently living in his Lekki home, enjoying AC, after abandoning him and his sister for 15 years. Meanwhile, his father, who struggled to raise him, is facing criticism on social media.

He went on to say that he understands that Mohbad’s father made some controversial statements after his death but excused it, stating that not everyone is skilled in communication. He also criticized the Ikorodu youths who interviewed the late singer’s dad during his vulnerable moment and shared the videos online.

He further urged Nigerians to treat the late singer’s parents with equal respect, instead of showing favoritism to his mother.
