“A woman who wants to cook and clean for you has more to offer you than the one who chases her career” – Nigerian man says

Nigerian man says

A Nigerian man has taken to the microblogging platform, X, to share a controversial take about career women and housewives.

According to the X user @OsasuYwie, a woman who is happy to stay at home to cook and clean for her husband is better than one who chases her career.

In his defense, he argued that women who prioritize their careers often end up being more ‘masculine’ than women who are more domesticated.

Nigerian man says

He further advised men to go for homely women who gives them peace, supports, nurtures and genuinely loves them.

He wrote on Saturday, November 11,

“A woman who wants to cook & clean for you has more to offer you than the one who chases her career. The stress women receive from chasing a career is turning her more masculine. A woman that is happy at home cleaning and cooking, making art, and taking care of a family is in high demand these days.

If she brings you peace, Supports you, nurtures you, and loves you. You should keep her. The one chasing her career will always keep her “options” open due to the influx of male interactive traffic. Understand to Prosper.”

“I was still a mechanic when Sydney Talker messaged me” – Khaid opens up on early struggles

Nigerian singer and rapper, Sulaimon Shekoni Solomon, professionally known as Khaid, has recounted his struggles growing up with a tailor father and mother who was a teacher.

He mentioned that he was raised in a household of ten, consisting of his parents, eight siblings, and himself. He also disclosed that he was still working as a hustler mechanic when he had his big break with Sydney Talker.

He added that he didn’t finish his education after graduating from high school because he was terrified of writing the JAMB and didn’t want to attend university.

Khaid did point out that he had worked as a mechanic, painter, and barber while hustling after high school.

Khaid said; “I grew up in a family of eight kids. My dad was a tailor and my mum was a teacher as well as a hairstylist. I grew up in the Ojo area of Lagos State. My primary and secondary education was at Ola Greater Tomorrow School, Ojo. I started singing when I was in secondary school after which I dabbled in different street hustles. I was once a mechanic, painter and a barber.

I was influenced to do music from a very young age because my parents were music lovers. My dad loved fuji music and my mum listened to Michael Jackson. From constantly listening to Michael Jackson, I got exposed to more foreign music. That was where my love for trap music grew and I started making trap songs.”

I was still a mechanic then when Sydney Talker sent me a message on Instagram. When I saw that he followed me and ‘liked’ some of my posts, I thought it was a fake account.

So, I did not bother to check it out. When I eventually checked it, I wanted to send him a message to thank him for following me. But I realised he already texted me. We kept talking until one day, I just told him I was in Lagos Island and asked if I could come see him. I went to his house and I came up with about six songs. After a freestyle session, I later got signed and we did the paperwork.”

Speaking on his plans to complete his education, Khaid said; “I still have plans to go to university. Immediately after I left secondary school, I did not want to go to university because I was scared of writing the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination. Also, I was a mechanic at the time up until I got signed to a record label.”

“Women are not meant to compete with men” – Tolanibaj distances self from feminism

Big Brother Naija star and disc jockey, Tolani Shobajo better known as Tolanibaj, has stirred reactions online after she revealed her stance on feminism.

Tolani revealed that she disagreed with feminism’s principles because she believed that women should not compete with men.

She shared this in an interview with nightlife king, Yhemo Lee on a recent edition of the podcast Bahd and Boujee, co-hosted by Moet Abebe.

According to Tolanibaj, who believes that the genders are not equal, the woman’s role is to enhance the man, not to compete with him.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate stated that because of the aforementioned reasons, she is unable to identify as a feminist.

“I feel like women are not supposed to compete with men, they are just supposed to complement them. That’s why I can’t say I am a feminist because I don’t see how if a man is doing gra gra, as a woman I should be doing gra gra too”

“Ambitious women work twice as hard to prove ourselves” – Uche Jombo

Popular Nollywood actress Uche Jombohas stated that ambitious women put in almost twice as much work to achieve and reach the top of a sector dominated by men.

In an interview with Saturday Beats, she discussed the difficulties faced by women who want to succeed as trailblazers and stay relevant in their field.

The filmmaker claims that whereas many of her male colleagues who began their careers earlier than her have moved on to other pursuits, she is still putting in long hours into filmmaking.

She said,

“Women are very serious-minded people. I remember when I started producing movies, there were a lot of my male colleagues who started producing at the same time.

Some of them started doing other things and are no longer interested in filmmaking as of today. But I am still here toughening things out. In essence, when women put their minds to something, they do it because normally, women would work twice as hard to prove themselves.”

She explained that it can be traced back to Nollywood’s early days when asked why women in the industry need to put in extra effort to show their worth.

The actress noted that because the profession was formerly a boys’ club, it took a while for men to respect and accept her because she was a woman.

She explained, “When Nollywood started, it was a boys club. As a woman coming to produce your film, it takes a while to be taken seriously. I think the film that made people take me seriously was ‘Damaged’. But I had done three films before ‘Damaged’ as an executive producer and producer. That film did well. It was an advocacy film.”

Internet users knock lady hours after she revealed why she could not marry her older lover with receipt of how he was sponsoring her expensive lifestyle 

A few days ago, a Nigerian lady identified as Abidoye Zainab shared the reasons why she could not marry her older lover.

The 22-year-old mentioned that she didn’t marry her 52-year-old lover because he was toxic and wanted to take her as a second wife.

Internet users however were quick to dig out romantic chats between her and her older lover which she once shared online.

See below,

A tweep with the handle @Mayorrealy who is quite familiar with Zainab also posted several tweets in regards to the issue, claiming that her 52 year old lover whom she refused to marry had been sponsoring her luxurious lifestyle.

The netizen who shared the story via the microblogging platform X wrote;

“Dear Zainab,

I hope this message finds you well. I recently came across these statements you made regarding your past interactions, and I feel compelled to address the inaccuracies that have been presented. The intention is not to engage in a public dispute but rather to provide a fair and accurate representation of the situation. Firstly, you failed to clarify how the man you are referring to sponsored all your luxurious lifestyles, traveling around while dipping hands in the man’s pocket and the Lexus car he gave.”

Adding more tweets, the user stated that everyone around them knew about her luxurious lifestyle and how the man was sponsoring it.

“My mother abandoned me as a baby; I had no tears to shed when I met her years later” – Charles Inojie

Nollywood actor and comedian Charles Inojie has opened up about the challenges he faced while growing up, especially the impact of his parents’ divorce during his early years.

In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the actor revealed that his mother left him when he was only eight months old, a leaving his grandmother to take care of him by nursing him.

He further revealed that his stepmother convinced his father not to support his university education until her own child was ready for college, even though he had gained admission at the age of 20.

When he reunited with his mother years later, their relationship remained emotionally distant due to the ongoing emotional stress.

“When I wanted to go to the University, I became back to the house to tell him I have gotten admission. The woman began to laugh, faced my Dad and told him ‘If this one has to go the University, he will wait for my own child to grow so they will go together’, that is a child I an older than with 18 to 20 years,” he narrated.

Speaking on a reunion with his dad, he said, “I met him and we sat for close to thirty minutes, nobody talked. I was crying, he was crying. I said ‘I have to start going but that I am now out of school. My first work, they said Papa must pray for his child’. I bought a drink and put N5000 in an envelop and asked that he prays for me and he said he wasn’t going to touch it and that his conscience will not let him having not contributed a dime,” he said in part.

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

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.

Cameroonian teacher who was rejected by women due to his height welcomes first child with wife

Cameroonian teacher who was rejected

A Cameroonian teacher, who faced rejection from several women due to his height, has welcomed a child with his wife, Kahboh Patience.

Recall that Kwoyela Derick, 39, made headlines a while ago when his unique love story captured the attention of both local and international media.

At that time, he revealed that his community is quite intolerant of people with his condition, and most people did not associate with him, let alone consider marrying him.

However, Patience accepted him wholeheartedly and stated her willingness to stand by him for better or worse, despite the negative comments from naysayers, including her friends who opposed their wedding.

The couple subsequently held their traditional and civil wedding in Bali Nyonga, while their church wedding took place in the North West Region on Saturday, April 8.

Fortunately, the lovebirds have now welcomed their first child together. They shared this joyful news with their friends and family on Facebook on Friday, November 10.

“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.

The singer of “Zazzo” took to social media to publicly criticise the artist and question him about why he decided to give up on his musical career.

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.

Watch him speak below,

In other news, 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.

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.

“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?”
