Actor Uche Maduagwu calls

Popular Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu, has admonished Nigerians to normalize the celebration of divorce.

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.

The controversial actor wrote,

“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”

A while back, Uche Maduagwu asserted that 95 percent of Nigerian male celebrities are bisexual.

The thespian, who came out as gay a while ago, made this assertion in a recent post on his Instagram page.

He warned those who judge and mock his sexuality to desist from doing so, emphasizing that he is not the only bisexual male celebrity in Nigeria.

“Don’t judge me, you are not God. I dey follow woman and man, 95% of Nigerian male celebs dey do am, both married and single. I repeat 95% of Naija male celebs dey follow both woman and man. Truth is bitter but that is the beautiful reality.

“A male celeb was following others to laugh at me yesterday at an event in Ikoyi but e dey follow women and men too. So why all the double standards?” He wrote.

A 45-year-old Malawian man, Rex Kondwani has hanged himself after his wife donated the K12,000 they had earned through gardening work to a church.

Local reports state that the incident happened on September 6 in Muwalo Village, Thyolo District, Malawi.

George Kaleso, senior superintendent of the Masambanjati Police, confirmed the suicide in a statement.

According to Kaleso, the pair was hired to perform piecework in gardening and received K12,000, which the wife kept.

“Yesterday, when Mr. Kondwani asked for his share, the wife told him she had donated the money to their local church,” he said.

He claimed that the woman’s admission sparked a contentious quarrel between the couple. Sadly, the man was later discovered hanging from the roof of the church where the money was donated.

In other news, the Lagos State Police Command have arrested one Dr. Kadiri Akeem, a lecturer at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), for allegedly raping a 20-year-old female undergraduate student.

According to the victim who reported him to an NGO called the Inclusive Social Welfare and Empowerment Foundation, the incident occurred on August 16, 2023.

The NGO subsequently reported the case to the Gender Unit of the state Police Command, prompting action from the Commissioner of Police, CP Idowu Owohunwa. A warrant of arrest for Dr. Kadiri was then issued by the state High Court through the OC Gender.

The Vice Chancellor of the university was given a seven-day ultimatum to produce Dr. Babalola for questioning. When questioned, the lecturer reportedly confessed to the crime.

Upon learning of this confession, the Vice Chancellor promptly notified the police through the school’s Chief Security Officer, leading to Dr. Babalola’s arrest.

“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.”

Nigerian man mourns

A Nigerian man, Anenye Anthony Chinedu, has taken to social media to mourn the tragic passing of his sister-in-law, Sochima Silver Anenye.

In a post shared on Facebook, Anenye penned an heartfelt tribute to the deceased who passed away following a severe medical crisis while seven-months pregnant.

The deceased, who was only 26-year-old, bravely gave birth to her baby but the joy was short-lived, as the newborn did not survive.

Nigerian man mourns

Sadly, Silver’s health also took a turn for the worse and she eventually succumbed to her illness.

Silver and her husband, Anenye Chukwuka Joseph, got married in January 2023, just nine months before her sad demise.

She was laid to rest on Thursday, September 7 2023, leaving behind cherished memories and a loving family.

Read his full tribute below,

“Amid life’s most challenging moments, the love and support of a family can be a beacon of hope and strength. As we gather here today to bid farewell to my beloved sister-in-law (Sochima Silver Anenye), let us remember the remarkable journey she undertook, one filled with love, courage, and the unwavering support of her devoted husband and caring family,” Anthony wrote.

Nigerian man mourns

“In the face of adversity, her husband stood as a pillar of strength, demonstrating the true essence of a loving partner. He left no stone unturned, tirelessly doing everything within his power to ensure her well-being. His love and care served as a constant source of comfort during those difficult times

“The family members, too, rallied around her, offering their heartfelt prayers and fasting, hoping for her recovery and relief from the pain she endured. Their collective faith and love illuminated the darkest hours of her life, serving as a testament to the power of unity in the face of adversity

“At seven months pregnant, she faced a critical medical situation, and it was decided that surgery was the only option. It was a brave decision, and she emerged from it with a new life in her arms, albeit one that would be brief. The joy of childbirth, though short-lived, was a testament to her enduring spirit

Nigerian man mourns

“Tragically, the baby’s life was brief, and my sister-in-law’s health continued to decline. Despite all efforts, she ultimately embarked on her final journey, leaving behind a legacy of strength, love, and resilience

“Today, as we lay her to rest, let us remember her not for the pain she endured but for the love she shared, the strength she displayed, and the enduring bond of family that supported her through it all. May her memory be a source of inspiration, reminding us to cherish every moment and to stand by our loved ones in their times of need

“As we say our farewells, let us also celebrate the remarkable life she lived, the love she gave, and the indomitable spirit that will forever remain in our hearts. Though she may no longer be with us in person, her legacy lives on, and her memory will continue to inspire us all

“May the soul of Sochima Silver Anenye and may the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. We Love you but God loves you more.”

Singer Rihanna and ASAP Rocky name

Famous singer, Rihanna and her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, have revealed the name of their second child, a month after his birth.

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

The certificate also reveals that the baby was born on August 1st at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles.

The 35-year-old singer-turned-beauty mogul and the rapper, 34, seem to have established a tradition of naming their children with names starting with the letter ‘R’.

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.

Recall that Rihanna announced her second pregnancy during her 2023 Super Bowl halftime show performance in February when she was seen rubbing her stomach on stage, sparking speculation that she was expecting.

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”.

#BBNaijaAllStars: “I went to have fun, not to win N120 million cash prize” – Tolanibaj (Video)

Reality TV star and disc jockey, Tolanibaj has disclosed that she didn’t enter the Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) All-Stars edition to compete for the N120 million grand prize, but rather to enjoy the experience.

The reality TV star made her mark as a contestant in the current season of BBNaija All-Stars, but on August 27, she and Frodd were eliminated from the competition after earning the least amount of votes.

Tolanibaj received criticism for her behavior throughout her time on the show, which was not without controversy.

Her relationship with fellow housemate Neo attracted a lot of attention. Neo consistently denied any romantic involvement with her, insisting they were just friends but she was pursuing a relationship with him.

Tolanibaj addressed the criticism in a recently released video on her YouTube channel, admitting that she is used to receiving judgment and criticism.

She made the lighthearted remark that she had already attained the title of “queen of drags” before joining the Big Brother house, suggesting that she could take criticism.

Tolanibaj made it clear that winning the monetary award was not her major objective for competing on the show.

She cited the fact that she had made it clear from the start that she didn’t feel under any pressure to succeed and that her main goal was to have fun.

“I did not go there to win the money. If you remember, on day one when they asked, I said, ‘no pressure… I am just here to have fun,” she said.

Tolanibaj gave an explanation for her decision to restrict interactions with the media after leaving the show, saying that she did not feel obligated to give interviews or allow access to her time.

She stated a wish to prioritize her own requirements and preferences while being picky and selfish with her time.

Nigerian filmmaker and iRokoTV boss, Jason Njoku, has taken a swipe at those defending the current administration.

Taking to the microblogging platform X, Jason stated that even after one hundred days of “renewed shege”, those people are still defending what he described as “Old Testament levels of suffering.”

He made this statement after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu celebrated his 100 days in office on Wednesday, September 6.

Quoting a tweet from 2022 that read, “There are people in Nigeria who look at everything that has been done over the last 8 years by APC & are satisfied with a job well done. The absolute destruction of the strongest black country on planet earth & some folks are happy with it. Fear those people. Fear them,” Jason remarked, “Even after 100 days of renewed challenges.

BBNaija level-up winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, better known as Phyna, has finally addressed her altercation with her co-star, Chichi, during their reunion show.

Recall that during the reunion, Phyna had alleged in a fit of rage that Chichi is a married mother of two who abandoned her children in Benin.

Not stopping there, Phyna took to social media after the show aired and claimed that Chichi paid N3.5 million for liposuction and allegedly poisoned her friend in Cyprus due to jealousy before returning to Nigeria.

This didn’t sit well with Chichi and she filed a lawsuit against Phyna, asking her to pay N100 million in damages and tender a public apology to her. ICYMI, read here

During a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Phyna clarified that her response to Chichi was not unprovoked.

Phyna opens

She explained that she reacted to the offensive comments Chichi had made about her, comments that were not aired by BBNaija organizers.

She claimed that Chichi body-shamed her, called her an “abortionist” and made other derogatory remarks about her. According to her, she could not allow Chichi bodyshame her when she has a natural body.

On the N100 million lawsuit, Phyna stated that she was unfazed by the threat and was ready to go to court.

Her words,

“The way I attacked her they should have known she said something, that part was mute. Because the previous day, you body shamed me, you called me shapeless and saggy boobs, that’s why I had to use the word for her that she would record in her heart and brain. Because you can’t be body-shaming me that have a natural body, I had to remind her that there are stuff.

You called me an abortionist, I reminded you that you have two kids that you abandoned.

Two days later, she is suing me in court for N100 million for libel and defamation of character. I called my lawyer that if we didn’t reply to the lawsuit, what would happen? My lawyer said if we didn’t reply within 7 days, she could charge me in court. The next day I bought a suit to prepare for court.”

He also encouraged his fans and followers to dismiss such claims, and only rely on information shared on his official social media platforms.

He captioned the video,

“Good day, my lovely people.

I need to address this disturbing issue that has come to my attention. There are some unscrupulous individuals who have been using my pictures and videos maliciously, falsely reporting me as deceased in order to gain traffic to their pages.

First and foremost, I want to assure you that I am very much alive and well. These false reports are nothing but baseless rumors spread by individuals with ill intentions. I will be taking legal action against these persons, as their actions not only infringe upon my rights but also cause unnecessary distress to my loved ones and fans.

I understand the power of social media and the impact it can have on spreading information. However, it is disheartening to see how it can be misused by a few to spread false news for personal gain. I urge you all to be vigilant and only trust information that comes directly from me or my official channels.

Love you all loads 💓💓💓”

US-based Nigerian singer and dancer, Korra Obidi, has cried out over a painful experience of being mistreated by police officers in Lagos.

The mother of two shared her displeasure with the treatment she suffered from police officers while on a Lagos road.

She expressed her dissatisfaction with the cops’ treatment of her and their friend during a regular inspection of their car in an Instagram post.

Korra brought up an instance where a police officer disregarded their request to lock the car doors so that they could conduct a thorough examination of their paperwork.

She also recalled another interaction in which an officer knelt on the driver’s seat and conducted a thorough inside check of the vehicle.

The cops searched Korra’s bag and personal items during a quick meal, which Korra thought was harsh.

Korra responded by urging the police to focus on catching dishonest politicians rather than harassing young people.

She argued that by refocusing their efforts, the nation’s high fuel prices might be reduced.

In her words;

“Attempting Taco Tuesday in Lagos. Several police stops with random men manhandling me and searching my bag and personal belongings @frankhasaplan.

Lagos Police, let the youth breath for God’s sake. If you dedicate this much energy to catching politicians who are looting, fuel will not be #560 Naira today. SMH.”

“Nigerians love Hilda Baci because of her body shape not as a chef” – Blessing CEO

By

Controversial relationship expert, Okoro Blessing, also known as Blessing CEO has opined that record breaking chef, Hilda Baci is loved and celebrated by Nigerians mostly because of her curvy body, not her food.

Blessing CEO made this statement on the most recent episode of the Terms & Conditions podcast, while discussing how many people had improved their bodies through Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBL).

The self-described relationship expert claims that a woman’s body attracts men before her brains. To back up her argument, she cited the well-known chef Hilda Baci.

According to Blessing CEO, who also noted that the cook is a beautiful woman with high aspirations, Hilda defies the stereotype that “attractive women don’t like to work.”

Blessing continued by saying that Nigerians were only drawn to her body after that.

She said,

“I’m going to use the lady who trended for cooking Hilda Baci what made us even love her is her body, not the food per se.

Let’s be honest when she started going viral and we started seeing how pretty she is, and how hard-working there’s a perception that fine girls don’t work… then when they saw how beautiful she was and was willing to put in such energy that was why Nigerians came out with full force so when you have the body and you have them brain it helps you achieve things.”

The relationship coach also observed that after she got a BBL, people have been talking to her more than they did before. She went on to advise women that in order to hold people’s attention, they should be both physically fit and intelligent.

She said,

“If you have a BBL just like me people would talk to you, ever since I got a BBL I’ve had so many people who didn’t want to talk to me then want to talk to me now and ask me out. That’s why I say have nyash and have brains, now when they come to you, the butt attracts them, and then when they now see that you have more to offer, that’s the beauty and the brain.”

“My little story with English Language Exam. In 2007, I took the WAEC exam at Dawakin Kudu Science College. Despite having good grades in all the other subjects, I failed the English language in my WAEC result. When I registered for another SSCE, my intention was to get an A, not even a B.

Despite all the courage I had for that exam, I wrote it to the best of my ability at Government Secondary School in Kano, and I passed all the subjects except for the English language.

For the first time, I decided to register for the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), an English Language proficiency test developed and run by the British Council in partnership with Cambridge Assessment English.

I studied for it within a week and achieved a better result. I secured two overseas scholarships with that IELTS. result. Alhamdulillah”
