Sonia set

Sonia Morales the ex-wife of popular Nollywood actor, IK Ogbonna, is set to walk down the aisle again as she gets engaged to her lover.

It will be recalled that Sonia and IK were together for five years and married for three years starting in 2015. Regrettably, their marriage ended in separation in 2019.

In a new development, Sonia, who shares a son with IK, has found love again in the arms of another man, and they are set to marry soon.

Her new partner, whose name was not disclosed, recently proposed to her, and she joyfully accepted his proposal.

A video capturing the moment he led her into a beautifully decorated house, adorned with balloons and a “MARRY ME” sign, where he proposed to her, has been shared online.

Watch below,

In 2019, the announcement of their split has drawn lots of reactions from fans, colleagues and several Nollywood actresses including Tonto Dikeh, Yvonne Jegede, Omoni Oboli and others. Read here

A while back, IK Ogbonna finally broken his silence on his divorce from ex-wife, Sonia.

The thespian and his now-estranged wife got married in 2015 at a courthouse in Zagreb, Croatia, and have a son together.

Rumors of their split began circulating in 2018, and by August 2019, Sonia confirmed the union was over.

Speaking in a recent interview with Punch, IK Ogbonna noted that he has remained silent on the reason for the divorce from his ex-wife because he believes his private life is no one’s business.

“I have never said the cause of my separation, it has been all speculation and I would like the public to hold on to those speculations if they choose to do so.

“My private life doesn’t necessarily concern the world but, what I choose the world to know is what I make the public to know about me. Things don’t work out don’t mean I and the person would fall apart, or I come on social media and start saying these are the reasons why it did not work. It didn’t work but we are still friends.” He said.

During the weekend, a media outlet released a report asserting that the 48-year-old film icon, who tied the knot with her partner in November 2022, had given birth to twins.

Following the publication of this news, Rita Dominic took to Twitter to refute the report, stating that it is false.

“You know you are lying.
One minute I am in a photoshoot for a film, next minute I have delivered triplets. Just like that!”

Meanwhile, the media outlet has taken down the report.

She, however, gave a savage response, humorously claiming to have slept with 1.5 million people.

“1.5 million. Happy Sunday,” she wrote in response to the fan. Read here

“I doubted Wizkid, Burna Boy when they told me that they’d be superstars” – Ice Prince

Popular Nigerian singer, Panshak Zamani, otherwise known as Ice Prince, has said that Afrobeats singers Ayodeji Balogun aka Wizkid and Damini Ogulu aka Burna Boy long ago predicted their musical success.

The 36-year-old Hip Hop singer claimed that Wizkid made him a promise 10 years ago that he would achieve all of his current musical successes, but he [Ice Prince] was skeptical.

Ice Prince claimed to have witnessed the domestic and international success of musicians like Wizkid and Burna Boy.

The multi-award-winning rapper revealed this in the most recent episode of the Afrobeats Podcast, which is hosted by UK-based media personality Adesope Olajide, aka Shopsydoo.

He said;

“When I see what afrobeats is achieving right now, it’s just like a dream come true. And not everybody will do it at the same time. But with God and with consistency, we all can do it.

“I remember Wiz [kid] telling me he was going to do all these things like 10 years ago. And at that time, I could have been looking at him like, Nah, you’re crazy. But look, it actually played out to be what it is.

I have seen Burna Boy tell me, Yo, I’m gonna do this. I’m gonna do that. And at that time, it was prophesying, not even sure how it was going to happen.

So, to see it happening now, it was like wow, wow, wow! Dreams do actually come true. I’m super proud of these guys. I’m one of those people that can tell you I watched these guys grow up.”

Bride burst into tears on her wedding day as fashion designer fail to replicate her dress and her parents stop her from using makeup (Video)

A Nigerian bride has stirred reactions online as she cried uncontrollably after her fashion designer gave her a non-replica of what she desired the day before her wedding and her parents kicked against her makeup.

The stunning bride could be seen sobbing uncontrollably in a recently circulated video while being comforted by a friend and her photographer.

In a caption attached to the post shared online, it was revealed that the bride expressed her disappointment when she received something different from what she had ordered, and to compound matters, her parents barred her from applying makeup for reasons unknown.

This resulted in her crying on her wedding day and needing comfort from her friends and the photographer.

The caption read, “Barbara, our Obuasi Bride’s day started on a very sad note the night before her wedding. Firstly, her gown came in very late last night, and when she tried it on, she noticed that it wasn’t exactly what she wanted, so she cried throughout the night.

This morning, unfortunately, some of the vendors were behind time due to a downpour the previous night. When we got to the hotel for her prep this morning, the bride was still sad; her spirit was dampened because she had been crying the previous night, and arrangements were not going as planned.

What made matters worse was that, her family was constantly calling her not to put on make up. However, her photographer kept consoling and reassured her that everything will go as planned. That’s one thing I have notice about kingKwekuAnanse Photography, his charisma is unmatched. He puts in effort to make sure the day of every bride ends on a happy note.”

“My husband apologises to me when he’s wrong” – Mercy Aigbe

Popular Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe has revealed the qualities that make her fall in love more with her husband.

Speaking in an interview with Punch News, she stated that her husband was not a typical Nigerian man who had a big ego and was always respectful and understanding.

According to her, they were both stubborn but they always respected each other’s opinions and didn’t argue unnecessarily.

She added that the fact that he always apologized to her whenever he was wrong made her fall in love with him more.

She said,

“We disagree. I am very stubborn, and he is also stubborn. However, we respect each other’s opinions, and we don’t argue unnecessarily.

Rather, we argue sensibly, and then we don’t look down on each other. Whenever anyone of us makes a point, we both think about it, and figure out the best way to do things.

Our relationship is built on mutual understanding and respect, and that has been helping us.

He is actually a very understanding person, and he is not the bossy type. He is a good listener, and that makes him a good leader. Whenever I talk, he listens. He tries to reason with me, and we meet in the middle.

I like his smile and dark skin. Beyond all that, I like his person. He is a very wise person, who communicates a lot. I believe that communication is key in a relationship because it helps understanding.

I don’t like people that don’t talk. If you don’t talk, I wouldn’t know how you are feeling or what you want me to do.

I also like the fact that he is very understanding. Whenever he feels that he is wrong, he apologizes.

He is not the typical Nigerian man, who has a big ego. He is not egoistic, though he is strict. I like the fact that he is strict, because I like people that have morals and values.

Also, he is a great dad, who loves children. He loves to make the people around him comfortable. He is selfless as well. To cap it up, he is a fine man.

I cook for my husband. I do my wifely duties. Whenever I am at home, I always want everyone, including my husband and kids, to feel and appreciate my presence. Whenever I am at home, everybody is happy.

And when I am not around, they miss me so much. I always make sure my family enjoys good food, and other beautiful moments with them.”

She admitted that after hearing Rema’s song “Runaway,” she became a fan and has remained one ever since.

Selena Gomez declared her readiness to collaborate with Rema, stating her admiration for his character and her wish to protect him.

She made this admission while speaking on the most recent episode of the VA 100 New York Podcast.

“I actually fell in love with the song ‘Runaway’ before I fell in love with ‘Calm down.’ I literally was a fan of his. But it [remixing ‘Calm Down’] was all like kind of his idea.

When I met him, I honestly was so impressed by his demeanor, how humble and how grateful he is for every moment. And, I just couldn’t pick someone else who deserves all this success in the world. He is so kind. I don’t know, I just wanna like take care of him, [laughs]” she stated.

A while back, Selena Gomez took to social media to express how much she admires Nigerian, artist Rema.

“This man has changed my life forever. Rema, thank you for choosing me to be a part of one of the biggest songs in the world. Love you forever. @heisrema”

Nigerian photographer shares revenge he took on bride’s sister for embarrassing him after he asked for food

A Nigerian photographer identified as Tobi Oyelami Joel has taken to social media to narrate how he got back at the bride’s sister for embarrassing him after he asked for food.

He disclosed this after a Kogi-based photographer narrated how a caterer refused to give him food, saying that the food was for dignitaries.

The Kogi-based photographer wrote, “I approached Caterers for food dis morning and she told me her food is for dignitaries, lets learn to eat food in our house to avoid EMBARRASSMENTS from Caterers”

Reacting to this shocking encounter, Tobi revealed how he had also experienced the same at an event and shared how he got his revenge against the offender.

According to Tobi, he made sure not to include her in all the wedding pictures he took for the day and feigned ignorance of her presence when she queried him about it later.

He wrote;

“I also had an experience, though not from a caterer but the bride’s kid sister. I’ve been with them since Friday evening for a bridal shower and you can’t even buy a sachet of water in the estate, I asked for food and she embarrassed me cuz she was in charge. But I gave her my own judgement by making sure she doesn’t appear in any picture, even in family pictures, I’ll put her at the edge so I can easily crop her out. She later got my number from the bride asking why she wasn’t in all pictures and I told her I didn’t know she part of the wedding,” he wrote.

“BSc degree, husband, and children bagged” – Lady shares love story with man who paid her fees, proudly flaunts 2 kids (Video)

A Nigerian lady identified as Pat has taken to social media to describe her inspiring experience of love and thankfulness.

The woman could be seen in the viral video standing next to her spouse during their university sign-out day, beaming with joy and appreciation for the amazing adventure they had taken together.

“I bought him Egg roll and coke in 2018 in the school cafeteria & he paid my four years school fees and we have 2 sons throughout the program,” she wrote.

Pat bought an egg roll and a cola for her soon-to-be partner at the university cafeteria in 2018 and showed a modest act of kindness.

She had no idea that this kind deed would pave the way for a love that would change her life.

In a twist of fate, the young man—whose identity has been withheld—returned the favor by generously covering her tuition for the following four years.

The relationship between Pat and her partner got stronger as they overcame obstacles and achieved victories in their academic path together.

Due to the strong bond they had built while attending college, their love story endured, leading to the birth of their two kids.

Reacting to the video, @MERCY commented; “You are the luckiest babe, BSC bagged, husband bagged, and children bagged congratulations.”

@EGHOSA N said; “Na to just Dey share egg roll and coke for school cold or hot coke?”

@Falaive Toyosi Adera reacted; “Bottle coke or plastic please be specific.”

“She works for yahoo boys, used child support funds to slay” – Portable exposes Babymama who called him out

Nigerian singer, Portable, has fired back at allegations made by his babymama, Keji, who accused him of neglecting his fatherly duties for an extended time of four months.

According to Keji, who made the accusations in a live broadcast that went viral, the singer allegedly abandoned her and their infant without providing a single cent for the child’s upkeep.

The street-famous musician stated that his babymama started surreptitiously counseling his wife, Bewaji, against him after he sent her packing.

Portable stressed that she was using the money he had been giving his son to support her luxurious and opulent lifestyle, in contrast to her claims that he was a negligent father.

“J. Cole said I was a reincarnated 2Pac sent to Africa” – Burna Boy

Nigerian singer, Damini Ogulu, better known as Burna Boy, has revealed that American rapper J. Cole referred to him as a 2Pac reincarnated and sent to Africa.

The American rapper J. Cole allegedly informed Burna Boy during a studio session that he is on par with the late hip-hop legend 2Pac.

Speaking on a recent episode of the Elliott Wilson-hosted Rap Radar Podcast, Burna Boy said;

“I don’t really know the dynamics behind how everything happened, but somehow I end up in the studio with J. Cole and a bunch of basketball players tall as hell. Before [recording] any music, we’re all just talking about real stuff, about life and everything.

For me, I don’t really like to have conversations with people that don’t live with me. You know, I don’t have long conversations like that. So, I found myself just going off.

And before we start [recording], he (J. Cole] just goes, ‘Bro, this n*gga is Tupac. And then I looked around to see who he was talking about. It’s me he’s talking about. He’s like, this n*gga is like Tupac reincarnated in Africa.”

“Ilebaye has been playing a victim game, we’ve been f0oled” – Doyin

Big Brother Naija “All Stars” housemate, Doyin has stated that her former friend Ilebaye has been playing the victim game all along.

Doyin made this comment following the clash between Ilebaye and Whitemoney over the sound system and piano provided for the house for their wager.

Ilebaye argued with Whitemoney after turning on the music system and turning it up after Whitemoney turned it off.

According to Whitemoney, Ilebaye only wanted to disturb by increasing the volume of the system at an ungodly hour, hence asking her to lower the sound.

Ilebaye, on the other hand, said that no one cared about her “noise making” and that she intensified the sound in order to create a song.

Following the altercation and Ilebaye’s tears, Doyin was spotted talking with Cross in the HOH bathroom, where she revealed that Ilebaye had played the house and had been playing the victim game to win over Nigerians’ favor and win the money.

She said;

“Ilebaye has been playing a game. Watch her videos from Level Up season, she’s not the same person. When i realized her game, I felt so stupid. But it’s too late, the viewers would have given the money to her. Whitemoney was the first person to tell it to me but i called it bluff. We’ve all been fooled”

Big Brother Naija ‘All Stars’ housemate, Ilebaye, caused a commotion in the house when she got into an argument with fellow housemate, Whitemoney, about his refusal to let her use the musical instruments.

Ilebaye, who was playing the piano and allegedly trying to create a song for their wager, picked an offense when Whitemoney asked her to reduce the sound because it was late after a night of partying and some housemates were already in bed.

This didn’t sit well with Ilebaye who asserted that she was not allowed to use the musical instruments for their group wager task simply because Whitemoney is older than her.

“I’m still a church boy despite doing secular music” – Pheelz

Nigerian producer and singer, Phillip Kayode Moses, professionally known as Pheelz, has stated that despite his interest in secular music, he still considers himself to be a church boy.

The Finesse crooner, who was brought up in the Lagos church headed by his father, a pastor, and learned to sing and play the piano as well as other instruments, said he always knew he would transition from producer to musician.

The legendary producer stated in a recent interview with MTV Base Africa that he was surprised when his hit song Finesse became popular on Tik Tok.

Speaking about his journey as a creative, the 29-year-old said,

“That journey is long, bro. I feel like sometime in my life, I would probably make movie out of all these stories because it’s inspirational to me and I think it can be inspirational to a lot of other people.

Grinding from Coded Tunez down to running YBNL; making music with Olamide, Fireboy, Adekunle Gold, Lil Kesh, and other artists outside the label… First of all, I wouldn’t change anything for anything because the journey has been beautiful both the ups and the downs.

But I still see myself as that same kid from my church. That same 10-year-old playing the keys and my dad is doing the sermons. I still see myself as that kid in the choir because it’s still the same passion that drives me and has been driving me all these years.”
