“You’ve been jazzed if you find yourself not cheating on your partner” – Lady informs men

A Nigerian lady has offered advice to devoted guys on why it could be hard for them to cheat on the women they are dating or married to.

In a widely shared video, she said that any man who is unable to cheat on his girlfriend is probably under the influence of juju, or spells.

According to the social media slay queen,  a normal man should cheat and have a history of doing so, and if they are aware that they are not doing so, they are in captivity.

“If you find yourself not cheating on your partner as a man, you find yourself not cheating on your wife, you find yourself not cheating on your girlfriend, knowsay you dey on juju. A normal man should cheat and have a cheating record,” she said.

Doyin, who felt it was her place to defend Ilebaye, blasted Venita for being aware of what Ike did and keeping silent.

Toyin Lawani, who did not agree with Doyin, took to her Instagram page to state that kids should be off limits when they fight.

According to her, she was not interested in who was wrong or right in the fight, children should not be involved at all.

Owerri makeup artist reportedly catches her fiancé nakǝd in bed with a man

A popular Owerri makeup artist has turned to social media for help after she reportedly caught her fiancé in bed with a man.

According to her friend, Iwuala Nnamdi Paulcy, who shared her story on Facebook, she was in pain when she broke the news to him.

She had walked in on the man naked in bed with another man, but he was more concerned about her audacity to barge into their house without knocking than the situation she caught him in.

He wrote;

“My female friend just called me, her voice filled with tears, heartache echoing through her words. She was shouting, screaming, the pain evident in every sentence . I tried to console her, to coax the words out of her trembling lips, but all she could repeat was, “I can’t, I can’t.”oooo. I pressed on, wanting to understand, but she remained resolute in her refusal to reveal more. Her friend, who was there with her, eventually took the phone, and it was from her that I learned the devastating truth,”

She walked in on her boyfriend, the man who had proposed to her and set a date for March, was entwined with another man, both of them naked.

Her friend recounted that the boyfriend, far from being caught , paid no attention to her intrusion with a nonchalance attitude.

He instead questioned her audacity to barge into “their” house without knocking. Yes, “their” house because while he may have financed it, she had invested in the properties in it and n the furnishings that transformed it into a home.

This woman, a gifted makeup artist in Owerri, finds herself grappling with betrayal on an unfathomable level. I know the man in question though. They have courted for about 5yrs if I’m not mistaken, she’s a prominent figure in the city, her talents known far and wide.

The city of Owerri will soon hear the narrative, as the noise of this heart-wrenching incident is already spreading like wildfire.

I’ve already heard that people have congregated in the compound, and shouting in disbelief and shock as people kept saying is that why men always visited him. The lady kept shouting in the background “ God this is a dream ooo “

Music journalist, Joey Akan, knocks singer Spyro for criticizing Shallipopi’s lyrics

Nigerian entertainment journalist Joey Akan, has reacted to Spyro’s comments on Shallipopi’s song, Elon Musk Boys.

Spyro had revealed in an interview with the Honest Bunch podcast that the lyrics to the song were a means to internalize fraud, as the devil worked best with suggestions.

Reacting to this statement, Joey Akan took to the microblogging platform and slammed Spyro for being a hypocrite who promoted Jesus yet dined at the altar of mammon.

According to him, Spyro’s biggest song was with a Wordly-adjacent artist, Tiwa Savage, as opposed to singing with another gospel artist like himself.

He added that the singer had no problem performing at wordly conventions or being signed to a wordly record label but would constantly berate his colleagues for their professional output.

He wrote;

“This boy, Spyro, received his biggest ever song by working with worldly-adjacent artists. He chose Tiwa Savage for a collaboration over his faith-based colleagues.

Chioma Jesus and Dunsin Onyekan lost out on the “Who’s Your Guy” remix.

He’s also signed to a worldly label and performs at worldly events, including an upcoming activation for Trophy, an alcoholic brand that caters to nightlife and wine drinkers.

But he never fails to ceaselessly attack his colleagues, their professional output, and their themes of escapism and realism. Add that to a collaboration with DJ Neptune and Iyanya, two ‘worldly’ music stalwarts.

He will also not grace his gospel podcasts but try to harness numbers from a “worldly” podcast.

Talking about how he hates the secular industry because he is “for Jesus.” While working in it, serving it, benefiting from it, and making a living out of it.

I call it hyprocrisy. Promoting Jesus, but dining on the lucrative altars of mammon.”

Spyro accuses colleague, Shallipopi of using lyrics that make people internalize fraud (video)

Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, better known as Spyro, has accused his colleague, Shallipopi of putting out lyrics that make people internalize fraud.

Recall that a while back, Spyro revealed his stance on secular music in the industry and stated that he would not be partaking in what he described as ‘dirty lyrics’ in his songs and vowed to influence the music industry for God.

Speaking in an interview on the Honest Bunch podcast, the “Who’s Your Guy” crooner revealed that while people think the devil will come with horns in this generation, he is already coming through suggestions.

According to him, the song by Shallipopi was a subtle suggestion that could lure people into fraud if they kept listening and singing it.

In his words;

“You become what you see and say, so if you’re saying ‘para dey body’ before you know it, that’s where fraud starts from. E get the way you go take hear something way be say you go wake up na that thing go come out from your head because you’ve internalized it, you’ve digested it, it has gone into your system. and once you take it in, it just put one song for your mind. A lot of times, this generation, we think the devil go come with horns meanwhile na just suggestions.”

Iyabo Ojo’s daughter, Priscilla clarifies her relationship with Enioluwa

Priscilla Ojo, the daughter of popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has denied the allegations that she was dating her male closest friend, Enioluwa Adeoluwa.

Despite frequent misconceptions that suggest a love relationship between them, Priscilla made it plain that Enioluwa is her best friend during a conversation with Punch.

Even though she agreed that such presumptions were regularly made, she said they didn’t affect her.

According to her, she has learned to ignore and channel her energy into positive things like money, as being constantly talked about meant one was important.

She said;

“When people see a male and female together, they just assume that they are dating. I am a very hardworking person, and I connect with a lot of important people, including celebrities and media personalities. It is normal for people to make assumptions, so I don’t really let it get to me. Enioluwa is actually my best friend.

I have learnt to ignore and not focus my energy on things like that. Rather, I channel my energy into positive things, such as making money. Sometimes, negative comments can work in a positive way. When people talk about one, it means one is important,” she added.

Kindness is not enough reason to marry a man – Lady says as she dishes advice to singles

A divorced Nigerian woman has opined that a man being kind is not enough reason to marry him.

She stated this opinion while replying to a lady on the microblogging platform, X, who asked married people to share advice with those looking at getting married.

According to the lady identified as Rene, kindness was not enough of a reason to marry a man if he did not possess other core qualities.

She wrote;

“I’m divorced so it’s up to you if you listen or not.
1. Whatever you accept while dating will get worse once you get married.
2. If he’s mean to his family, you’re in for a ride
3. KINDNESS IS NOT ENOUGH. I know the bar is low but if a man being kind is enough to sway you then you’re in trouble. Does he have the core qualities you value in a man, i don’t mean a perfect man but a man who ticks most of the CORE qualities.
4. If you’re desperate to get married you’ll do anything and take anything to stay married.
5. Compromise is key, don’t expect a perfect man, work with a man who’s willing to listen and grow with you.
There’s more but I’ll stop here.”

When asked to expatiate on why kindness is not enough for a woman to marry a man, she wrote;

“The reason why kindness isn’t enough is this…
1. A kind person might not share the same values and principles as you
2. A kind person may not love life the way you do.
3. A kind person may not fuck you the way you wanna be fucked
4. A kind person may be racist, a bigot , homophobic etc
Do you get it now?”

“From the first day I met Osita, there was this chemistry” – Chinedu Ikedieze recalls first time he met Osita Iheme (Video)

Nollywood actor, Chinedu Ikedezie has reminisced about the first time he met Osita Iheme (Aki), his best friend, and how they connected right away.

The actor, who is now 41, spoke about the incident in an interview with popular media personality, Chude Jideonwo.

Chinedu Ikedieze recalled their first encounter, saying it took place in Aba, where he used to live with his uncle.

The tailor there at the time would inform him that the clothing he had brought had been finished every time he went to the market.

He was frequently perplexed by this since he was confident that he never packed clothing. The confusion persisted, and some of his classmates at the time informed him that they had seen someone who resembled him identically.

He said that’s how their conversation continued until he eventually got to see Osita for himself.

Chinedu claims that when he first met Osita, they bonded right away. It was a type of immediate chemistry, according to him.

He emphasized their on-set performances and how they covered for one another when they forgot to say their script lines.

The diminutive actor said that it was always so simple for them to be so spontaneous that it would just take a person reading the genuine script to recognize that what they had done or said wasn’t in the movie script whenever they were on set and one person forgot a script line.

He said,

“It is an advocacy engagement with him. It is what we do as part of the responsibilities of the agency to promote advocacy messages that would discourage people from substance abuse. It is about the message.

Sister of lady who died at Asake’s London concert criticizes him for using her image without their family’s consent

Sister of lady

Racheal Ikumelo, the sister of Nigerian woman Rebecca Ikumelo, who tragically lost her life during a stampede at a concert hosted by singer Asake at Brixton O2 Academy on Thursday, December 15, 2022, has called him out for using her image without her family’s consent.

The “Lonely at the top” crooner held a concert at O2 Arena, London, on Sunday, August 20, 2023, and paid tribute to the two women who passed away during the stampede last year.

Sister of lady

When Rachel saw a video of the tribute played at the concert, she was deeply infuriated and took to Twitter to criticize the singer for using her sister’s image without reaching out to their family beforehand.

She tweeted,

“What a sorry excuse of a “tribute” from @asakemusik. My sister lost her life at your show and you haven’t spoken to a single member of my family since. But you can hold another concert in London less than 9 months later and play her videos as a “tribute”?
RIP Rebecca Ikumelo ❤️

In response to her outburst, a staunch fan of the singer said Asake released a statement in which he sent a condolence to the family shortly after the tragic incident.

However, Rachel emphasized that the 28-year-old singer should have at least contacted a member of their family in person, before releasing the tribute.

BBNaija All Stars: “Why I am happy my son was evicted” – Kiddwaya’s mom

Reality TV star, Kiddwaya’s mum, Susan Waya has revealed the cause of her joy despite her son being evicted from the show.

Recall that Kiddwaya was the third housemate eliminated from Season 8 of the show as a result of a unanimous jury’s decision.

In response to her son’s eviction, Mrs. Waya said it made her feel good to know he was safe from Seyi, who she said had threatened him after a fight.

Susan Waya had promised to sue Seyi just a few hours back for threatening her son on live television after they had a fight. Taking to her Instagram page, she wrote;

“Seyi or Sheyi whatever your name is, once you come out, I’m gonna sue your bloody ass for threatening Kidd Waya. Thuggery, stealing & gangster is not in Kidd’s upbringing…”

Expressing her happiness now that her son was no longer in the same space with Seyi and free from his threats, she wrote;

“After yesterday’s threats, I couldn’t be happier with my son’s sanity intact! Thank you all for the overwhelming support. Kidd your crew is waiting for you! Lots of love 💞💞

“My ex-wife married me for my money” – Julius Agwu

Nigerian comedian, Julius Agwu, has revealed that the reason his marriage to his ex-wife, Ibiere Maclayton, did not succeed was because he neglected to seek God’s guidance.

In an interview with The Punch, the “Rattle Snake” star made this statement while discussing his marital problems and battle with a brain tumor.

According to Julius Agwu, his wife was drawn to him because of his wealth when they were married, and when he began to experience health problems, she made the decision to leave.

He said;

“I believe that any marriage without God would not last. When I married my wife, I did not even consult God. Some of us got married when there was so much money, and at that time, practically every girl wanted to be with us. But, after marriage, if anything happens to one, they would say, “I don’t want this man again”. I suggest that people should consult God first before getting married.”

The 50-year-old actor also discussed his recovery from his failed marriage and claimed that although it had taught him a valuable lesson, he might one day think about marrying again.

Agwu said;

“Life is very good and enjoyable now. When that (separation) happened, I was fighting with a lot; thinking about my sickness and my family. I thank God, because I know everything happens for a reason. When there is life, there is hope. But, a time will come when I might reconsider marriage.”

Speaking on what he’s been doing recently, the actor said;

“The truth is that, one’s health comes first. I have been low-key, because I had a brain tumour surgery in 2015 in the United States of America. I thank God that I am alive. Many people who had that type of surgery did not survive it. I believe God loves me because of my good heart towards everyone.”

Big Brother All Stars: “Big ups to Vee” – Tacha praises her for putting emotions aside as a jury

Reality TV star, Natacha Akide, better known as Tacha, has praised Vee for putting emotions aside while serving as a jury member on BBNaija All-Stars.

Her former friend, Tolanibaj who was in the bottom two, has been more than a friend to her ex, NeoEnergy, on the show.

She and the other jury members, Saskay and Elozonam, decided to retain Tolani on the show since the audience will find Neo and their relationship amusing.

Vee did not allow emotions to stop her from making the viewers choice and voted out Kiddwaya instead.

Taking to her social media page, Tacha hailed her for making an impartial decision despite her reservations.

According to her, that was the right way to act as a judge, unlike others who came before her and voted based on sentiments and help they had received from the contestants.

She wrote;

“Big ups to VEE SHA!! This is what a jury is suppose to do! keep emotions asides and get the job done.. Not he helped me to plug my phone when nepa brought light at night so I have to save him BS”
