“Fame is a spirit that causes costly mistakes” – Fireboy DML

Nigerian singer, Adedamola Adefolahan, popularly known as Fireboy DML, has characterized fame as a wily and manipulative spirit.

According to the “Peru” hitmaker, like money and sex, fame may deceive someone into thinking they are invincible, which leads them to make costly errors.

Fireboy DML shared this thought while speaking in an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo.

He said,

“Fame is a fucked up spirit. It’s like money, it’s like sex. Those three things can fxck you up mentally.

They can affect your thoughts. They can manipulate you into doings [that ordinarily you wouldn’t have done. They make you feel on top of the world, then you’ll start making costly mistakes.

And when you are famous and you make mistakes, everyone will see you. It’s not like when you are a normal person that you can quickly correct them. Omo, there are some mistakes that are very costly and I do not want to make costly mistakes.”

Nigerian Samaritan makes U-turn on Gifting a Laptop to someone because the person owns an iPhone 11

A basic Post on X (formerly known as Twitter) got people talking on the ethos surrounding the art of giving.

A Nigerian man on the platform with the handle @daveyhert, took to his page to tell the short story of how he decided not to gift a Laptop to someone simply because he became abreast with the knowledge that the person is a proud owner of an iphone 11.

His Post reads ;

“Sadly, I wanted to give a laptop to someone but went to their page and found they owned an iPhone 11. It may seem petty but I believe you’re doing just fine and you’ll eventually figure things out for yourself. Let it go to someone else who is in a more desperate position,” he on Saturday, September 9.

“P.S. it’s okay to disagree with my decision or think it unfair. It was my call to make, and I had to eliminate as many people as I could to pick one. Doesn’t mean the others don’t deserve it… I had a judgement call to make based on the available superficial info, and I made it.”

His post generated opposing comments on the micro-blogging platform with some section supporting his action while others berated him due to the fact that a person’s mobile device does not neccesarily tell the financial situation that person might be going through.

Taiwo Odukoya funeral

The remains of the late senior pastor of Fountain of Life Church, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, has been laid to rest in Lagos State.

A funeral service was conducted in his church today September 9, followed by a private burial ceremony attended by his family and closest associates.

Taiwo Odukoya funeral

Pastor Odukoya passed away in the United States on August 7 at the age of 67.

May his soul rest in peace. Amen.

See more photos from his funeral below…

A while back, new details surfaced regarding the events leading to the demise of Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, the founder of Fountain of Life Church in Lagos, who passed away in the United States on August 7.

According to The Nation, the esteemed clergyman had been grappling with health challenges primarily stemming from dealing with personal tragedies.

A source with close ties to the family was quoted as saying,

“He really didn’t get over the losses he suffered. He tried to be strong but there is a limit to what a man can take.”

Pastor Taiwo, as he was fondly called, tragically lost his beloved first wife, Pastor Bimbo, in the devastating Sosoliso plane crash back in 2005. She was just 45 years old.

The source mentioned that Pastor Taiwo and his wife, who he met during their time as undergraduates at the University of Ibadan, shared a deep connection and her untimely passing affected him greatly.

“Pastor was more devastated by what people said after Pastor Bimbo died than what actually happened. Many people said nasty things that saddened his heart. He was touched by the savagery of the comments. Well, he had no choice and decided to move on despite the heartbreak. It took a lot of talking for him to decide to remarry,” the source added.

The clergyman also suffered another heart-wrenching loss on November 9, 2021, when his second wife, Pastor Nomthi, a South African, passed away after battling cancer.

Dorathy said;

“I am more of a loyalist. I can be talking to multiple people but when I am with you, I am with you.I am always open, and I always want my partner to be open with me. Tell me everything. But, if you cheat on me, I will cheat back. You are mine, I am yours; nobody is going anywhere. We are in there together. But, don’t do things to me that you wouldn’t want me to do to you.”

“If I call you and you don’t pick my call, I also would not pick when you call me. I am actually that bad, because I have so much insecurity. I like being open. If you are not talking to me, who are you talking to? If I am going to date you or commit to you, you have to give me the same energy. It has to be full energy; you cannot give me half baked.”

“TAKE NOTE OF THIS👇🏿👇🏿🚁

Traveling abroad or living abroad is not an achievement but it depends on what you are doing with your life there. It is not where you are but what you are doing there.

Let me warn you that you can be busy doing nothing apart from being a part-time star on TikTok, Instagram, or other social media platforms. I have known people who have not had a stable address or a job for the last 15 years.

Time and age catch up on one quickly. The reason why I visit Nigeria regularly is because I have found that those back home are resilient, inventive, determined, and are achieving a lot despite the harsh economic conditions.

A better economy will lead to a better life for the people. Once you live here in the UK for a long time, you become a storyteller rather than an achiever. It is like a trap of destiny.

If you live abroad, don’t get carried away. Work hard, be focused, and stick to your goals and you will achieve a lot.

Do not forget that some people you left behind in your home country are doing unbelievable exploits. A regular visit to your home country will help you to take advantage of the opportunities there and here. I hope this helps someone.

BBNaija All Stars: Moment Pere angrily punched the wall during an altercation with Doyin (video)

Pere angrily punched

Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate, Pere Egbi, has caused quite a stir after he angrily punched the wall during a heated argument with Doyin in the house.

Their animosity has been brewing since last night when the Parrot, who occasionally spills gossips between the housemates, disclosed a conversation about the love triangle between Pere, his close friend Cross, and their shared love interest, Kim Oprah.

In the discussion among Doyin, Mercy, and Ceec, they asserted that Kim Oprah chose to be with Cross over Pere because Cross gives her more personal space.

Pere angrily punched

They also opined that Pere might not be as bold and confident as he claims to be and described him as a ‘weakling’.

These statement deeply hurt Pere, and he broke down in tears last night, while Venita comforted him.

Subsequently, Doyin admitted to making some of the comments in the conversation but argued that Pere was present when she uttered them, questioning why he was now upset about the disclosure since he was there.

Pere angrily punched

Pere, however, maintained that he was not present during that conversation.

This afternoon, Pere was discussing the incident with Alex when Doyin, who had apparently been eavesdropping, confronted Pere over the version of the story he was sharing with Alex, accusing him of lying.

In her anger, Doyin hurled various insults at Pere, branding him a liar, a phony, and asserting that he has ‘no balls’. Pere, who was visibly angered by her comment, challenged her to repeat her derogatory comments.

Doyin stood her ground, and in a fit of rage, Pere resorted to punching the wall as an outlet for his anger.

Following this outburst, Biggie summoned him to the diary room to seemingly prevent him from doing something crazier.

I sincerely apologize to everyone most especially business owners who felt bad about the post I made. I wasn’t referring to businesses initially as my friend who made the post I was referring to wasn’t targeting businesses either and I totally didn’t mean to make anyone feel bad. I personally messaged people who commented last night as I felt different about it when I read their comments about losing their pages and so I messaged them personally to apologize and took down the post last night. Regardless, it doesn’t justify it. Once again I’m sorry. 🥺💕

Taking to his Instagram page, Uche asserted that those who don’t celebrate their divorce are ungrateful to God for bringing them out of a toxic situation.

He pointed out that there are many people trapped in unhappy marriages and unable to find a way out, so if one is fortunate enough to leave a bad marriage, they should celebrate it.

Speaking further, he clarified the notion that divorce is a sign of failure, and stated that it is a celebration of bravery and freedom.

“People who don’t celebrate their #Divorce Anniversaries are being ungrateful to God because so many people are still in Bad and unhappy #Marriages that they are unable to walk out of, so if you are lucky enough to walk out of a #Marriage that does not bring out the #BEST in you, please CELEBRATE, it takes a special GRACE from God to achieve that Freedom”

“They said he is a devil worshipper” – Lady claims Rema’s Ethiopia concert was cancelled over his ‘burning church’ necklace (video)

Lady claims

Rumour has it that the highly anticipated concert of sensational Nigerian singer, Divine Ikubor, better known as Rema, in Ethiopia has been called off over religious concerns.

The Sheraton Hotel in Addis Ababa released an official statement about the cancellation of Rema’s Ethiopian New Year’s Eve Concert, originally slated for September 9.

The decision to cancel the show arose amid controversy surrounding allegations of “devil-worshipping” associated with the artwork featured on his custom necklace.

 Lady claims

It’s no secret that Rema wears a necklace that features the image of a burning church and inverted crosses. He also uses the same image as a backdrop for his album cover and performances.

This was perceived as disrespectful and offensive by many Ethiopians, sparking considerable public outcry and condemnation.

The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, deeply rooted in cultural heritage and firm religious beliefs, also expressed strong disapproval of these symbols.

Due to the mounting pressure, the Sheraton Hotel in Addis Ababa were forced to cancel the event.

Lady claims Rema's Ethiopia

An Ethopian woman, who confirmed this development in a recent interview with Nigerian media personality, Daddy Freeze, said it was cancelled due to accusations of devil worship.

She said: “They made a statement, like a press release in Ethiopia about Rema. Yes, you can imagine, it’s a very big deal.

When Daddy Freeze asked about the content of the press release, the lady said, “They’re basically saying he’s a devil worshipper because of what he has on his neck. And to be honest, I never thought of it myself. And there’s more to it; to be honest.

Daddy Freeze said: “So, because of a necklace, I love religion; religion is such an amazing thing. So, because of Rema’s necklace, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church ‘cancelled’ his show.”

According to a birth certificate obtained by The Blast, the couple has named their newborn son Riot Rose Mayers.

Singer Rihanna and ASAP Rocky name

Their first son, born in May 2022, was named RZA Athelston Mayers as a tribute to Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA.

The choice of their new baby’s name may be a reference to A$AP Rocky’s recent track ‘Riot’, released in July and featuring Pharrell Williams.

After the birth of their son was reported last month, sources informed Entertainment Tonight that the new parents intended to “spend the early days of parenthood out of the public eye and won’t make any immediate plans to debut the new baby.”

Chichi tears up as she speaks on childhood trauma, depression, fight with Phyna (Video)

Big Brother Naija star, Chinenyenwa Desire Okoebor, popularly known as Chichi, has divulged heartbreaking details about her upbringing, her motivation for becoming a stripper, and her strained friendship with Phyna, who was formerly her closest friend.

Chichi broke down in tears as she described her difficult upbringing, which was filled with events that no little girl should have to go through, during an interview with the well-known media personality Chude Jideonwo.

She alluded to experiencing both physical and sexual assault, highlighting the extreme difficulties she endured as a child.

Chichi talked about her career as a stripper and how a succession of profoundly personal experiences that had formed her life had affected her decision to enter that business. She acknowledged that many Nigerians might find it difficult to understand or relate to her unusual story.

The reality TV personality also explained that after the BBNaija reunion event, she experienced sadness and misery. She was so upset that she deleted her social media accounts because she thought the reunion was staged to damage her reputation.

Chichi revealed that her friend had made multiple false accusations against her, which is what motivated her to file a lawsuit against Phyna.

She said,

“I have gone through things a girl child shouldn’t go through. Just think of anything in your head, I have gone through that. I have seen it all, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and all.

There is nothing that I have gotten that anyone gave me for free. The only thing I got for free is Big Brother Naija. I don’t know how it happened but I just thank God, because nobody ever saw something good in me even when I was a child.

A lot of things happened, that’s why I went into stripping, but a lot of people wouldn’t understand, because Nigerians aren’t ready to relate to my story.

After the reunion, I was depressed. I deactivated my Instagram, and even now I am on and off because it’s not easy for me.

After the reunion I was in a miserable state because I felt I went there to be destroyed, to be rendered useless – my brand and everything”.
