Ilebaye reacts after facing criticism for seemingly soliciting funds from fans following her N120 million win

Big Brother Naija ‘All Stars’ winner, Ilebaye Odiniya, has reacted after she was dragged to filth for seemingly soliciting funds from fans despite winning the N120 million grand prize.

Recall that the 22-year-old Kogi-born housemate emerged as the winner of the reality TV show on Sunday, October 1, defeating 23 other housemates.

Ilebaye reacts

Following her victory, she took to Twitter to caution her fans against sending money to any unauthorized account number, except the one she provided.

She tweeted,

“We’ve received information about fans planning to send gifts or contributions. Please refrain from sending money to any account that isn’t officially posted on Ilebaye’s verified accounts. For gifts, please send an email. The only accessible account is the Baye Tribe account (9608176782 – Providus). We won’t be responsible for any misappropriation of funds. Thank you 🙏🏾”

This didn’t sit well with many viewers of the show, and they heavily criticized her for soliciting funds despite already having N120 million.

Read some comments below:

In response to the criticism, Ilebaye shared a follow-up post where she clarified that she wasn’t begging for money and only shared the account details to protect her fans from being scammed by imposters.

She tweeted,

“This tweet was solely to avoid people who WANT to gift falling into the hands of scammers.

We didn’t solicit for funds, we only highlighted the account we have access to.
Too many fake account numbers are circulating and we will not be held accountable for any misappropriation.”

“I’m open to marrying Soma” – Angel Smith

Reality tv star, Angel Smith has stated that if her colleague and love interest, Somadina Anyama, also known as Soma, makes a marriage proposal, she is willing to accept it.

In an interview with TVC, the former Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate made this claim and said that her relationship with Soma there was real and not just a ploy.

Angel asserted that she doesn’t give a damn about what other people think or say about their relationship since she values what they have together and wants it to last.

She said;

“What we [I and Soma] had in the house was very real. He might not be my person, honestly. We might not end up together. We might not get married. We may not end at that stage.

But if he does then yes, I’m open to that. So, for now, I would say he is my person at the moment. And he’s a sweetheart and I hope people know that he’s a sweetheart.

For me, I’m living in the moment. There’s no end goal for me. I enjoy this now. If it goes well, good. But if it doesn’t, we try again. Love shouldn’t end with one person. I really don’t care about people’s opinions. What I care about is my feelings.”

“I was approached to be an international drug peddler” – Okey Bakassi

Veteran Nigerian comedian, Okey Bakassi, has disclosed that he received offers to sell narcotics both in Nigeria and overseas.

Bakassi revealed this during an interview with Channels TV, when he described how con artists and drug dealers tried to sway him with alluring promises.

The Nollywood actor stated that one should anticipate being contacted with such proposals and deals as a performer in Nigeria.

Bakassi claims that despite the lucrative nature of the drug trade, he turned down the offer out of respect for the law.

He also mentioned how those involved would appear in a celebrity’s hotel room and begin discussing drug sales as if it were a regular business that “everyone does.”

He said,

“When I came to Lagos as a young man, I was tempted by different people in so many ways. And I’m talking about fraudsters and drug dealers.

I was approached. When you are in entertainment, you will be approached to peddle drugs. I have been approached overseas, I have been approached in Nigeria by drug dealers.

They will just show up in your hotel and talk business. They will tell you other people who are doing it and making money. But it is dangerous.

For me, I want to be able to sleep well without being afraid of the police or any law enforcement agencies. So I have tried from day one to keep things simple and be happy.”

Woman beaten to death by husband wakes on the way to mortuary

A lady who was brutally assaulted by her husband and was thought to be dead has reportedly awoken on the way to the mortuary.

The horrifying event came to light after the victim’s neighbour reported the horrifying domestic abuse case on the microblogging platform, X (previously Twitter).

In the first tweet, it was said that a wife had allegedly been fatally battered by her violent husband.

The horrific revelation sparked widespread outrage and demands for justice for the victim as it circulated on social media.

However, a little while after the original tweet, the same neighbour returned to Twitter and shared another astounding update.

She joyously reported that while being taken to the mortuary, the woman, who had previously been believed to be dead, showed signs of life.

She claims that the patient has now been admitted to the hospital and is in a critical state.

She wrote;

“I’m in extreme pain. My neighbor just beat his wife to death. He hit her head with a big stick and she died 😭😭😭

You guysssss!!!! Please help me dance! News reaching me is that she got up last minute. On the way to the mortuary!!!! Help me thank God and everything you believe in! Jesus! I’m still crying. He turned my sadness to joy! God is wonderful 😭😭😭”

Venita apologizes to Tiv tribe over controversial comment

BBNaija star Venita Akpofure has apologised to the Tiv nation for defaming them with her distasteful comment.

Recall that Venita had claimed that Tiv men give their wives to visitors for ‘entertainment purposes,’ implying that they allow their wives to sleep with their guests for entertainment.

This statement did not sit well with many TIV people, and they trooped to social media to criticise her and called for legal action against her.

In response, Hon. Dickson threatened to take legal action against Venita for her statement and BBNaija organisers for not disqualifying or reprimanding her for defaming their tribe.”

In an interview with media personality Hero Daniels after her eviction from BBNaija All Stars, the mother of two addressed the issue and expressed her regret for the careless comments, especially as her daughters are Tiv.

Venita said;

“The statement I made about Tiv people got twisted a bit. My daughters are actually Tiv. There’s no way I will be trying to make any kind of malicious or slanderous comment towards their people.

Actually, in my season we did a whole play around the Tor Tiv coronation which I participated in and was super excited about.

So, you know, sometimes you will say something maybe it is a little bit carelessly. And I think it got really misconstrued. And for those that are offended by it, I’m regretful about that.”

“My sǝxual advances was an artistic pursuit” — Singer Brymo defends his sxx-for-collaboration request from Simi (video)

Singer Brymo defends

Nigerian singer, Ọlawale Ọlọfọrọ, popularly known as Brymo, has shed more light into his decision to reject a collaboration request from his female colleague, Simi.

Recall that Brymo caused a major controversy in July 2023 when he revealed that he turned down Simi’s request because she refused to sleep with him.

Singer Brymo defends

During a recent interview on TVC, the ‘Olanrewaju’ crooner explained that he had suggested intimacy with her to enhance the song’s intensity. However, when she declined, he rejected the collaboration request.

He further defended his sexual proposition to Simi, who was not married at the time, stating that it was for an artistic purpose.

Singer Brymo defends

His words;

“One day I was somewhere and I met Adekunle Gold, I was just like, ‘Oh! Gold.’ The first time I was ever meeting him. And he requested a collaboration… When he came to me, I just said flatly, ‘Oga, I’m not doing any collaboration right now.’

“Two weeks after, Simi came. I didn’t know they [Simi and Adekunle Gold were together]. I’m sure you all know about Falz. He took the fall that I was supposed to take. I was the target… But I’m a smart guy.

“When I saw her [Simi], I said no features except I am laying with the woman I am working with so it can really be intense. Did she not sleep with Adekunle Gold? Is that not why the music is extra good? But she said no, and I was like okay, bye-bye and then she left.

“She wasn’t the only one I proposed it to. But guess what? I’ve made music with seven women. I didn’t sleep with anyone of them.

“After that incident, I’ve recorded songs with four women. We didn’t even have that [sexual] conversation at all. We just made music. So, it wasn’t about me asking for sex for collaboration. No, no, it wasn’t about that. For me, it was an artistic pursuit.”

BBNaija star, Phyna reacts to claims of abandoning her family after winning the N100m grand prize

Big Brother Naija season 7 winner, Josephine Otabor, better known as Phyna, has reacted to a report claiming that she abandoned her family after winning the reality show.

Recall that the Edo-born reality TV star emerged as the winner of the show in 2022 and walked away with the N100 million grand prize.

However, her father recently revealed in an interview with Vanguard that she forgot about her family after winning the prize money.

Phyna reacts

According to him, the last time he saw her was when she was announced winner of the show, which was contrary to his initial belief that their family’s suffering would come to an end.

He also alleged that his daughter asked him to quit his job as a hearse driver and sell his vehicles. Unfortunately, after he sold his old cars, she didn’t provide any assistance, leaving him currently jobless. ICYMI, read here

In reaction to the report, Phyna took to the microblogging platform X to reveal that she is heartbroken by the news and would go live on her Instagram page to address it.

She tweeted,

“In the history of dragging ….. this is the first time I cried and it touched me 💔
Let’s meet later on instagram live.”

In a follow-up post, she lashed out at Vanguard for incessantly calling and sending her text messages, seemingly in an attempt to get her side of the story.

She also threatened to sue the news outlet for publishing the report, alleging that her father was in distress.

The 26-year-old tweeted,

“I think it’s time for me to sue this useless Vanguard. They’ve been tormenting me with texts and calls.”

“I mistakenly picked one of the numbers 4 days back. Immediately I said hello, the useless man just said he is Ben Njoku from Vanguard, and the next thing this man started doing was asking me questions.”

“I just told him, ‘How can you come to me and start questioning me?’ Immediately, I then ended the call. He texted me immediately, saying that he is so sorry.”

“Now, you went back to your cupboard to say your father is crying, and your mother gave him a bastard son? Vanguard will crumble.”

“This is the number of the bastard that has been disturbing me from Vanguard. This particular cooking will choke you. You will hear from my lawyer.”

In other news, a Nigerian man, identified as Neo on the microblogging platform X, has opined that no sexually active woman can completely abstain from sex.

He shared this viewpoint in response to a viral tweet that asked netizens to share their unpopular opinions about sex that might invite criticism.

According to him, any non-virgin woman who refuses to sleep with a man does so because she either doesn’t like the man, wants to exploit his low self-esteem, engages in self-pleasure, or is involved with other men.

Read his full tweet below,

“There is not a single woman on earth who has tasted sex that can ever fully abstain, so when you meet a girl who is not a virgin and she tells you “no sex before marriage”, it’s not because she has found christ or she has learnt any lesson from all her previous whoring around, it is simply one of four things:

1)She does not rate or like you enough to do with you what she has been doing with other men so she is giving you silly conditions to push you away. Continue reading here

“She doesn’t pick our calls anymore” – Phyna’s father cries out, says she disappeared after winning N100m

Phyna’s father cries

Mr. Felix Otabor, the father of Josephine Otabor, better known as Phyna, the winner of Big Brother Naija season 7, has alleged that she abandoned her family after winning the N100m grand prize.

In a recent interview with Vanguard, Mr. Felix said the last time he saw his daughter was when she was announced as the winner of the reality TV show in 2022.

He believed that when she hit the jackpot, his family’s suffering would come to an end, but to his dismay, nothing changed.

Phyna’s father cries

According to him, Phyna disappeared and abandoned her family as soon as she received the prize money. He claimed that he only sees her when she posts pictures on social media.

He also alleged that his daughter asked him to stop working as a hearse driver and sell his vehicles. Unfortunately, after he sold his old cars, she didn’t provide any assistance, leaving him currently jobless.

His words,

“I haven’t seen Phyna, my daughter since she won BBNaija ‘Level Up’ edition last year. She hasn’t returned home since then. I don’t know why? I am a professional hearse driver, and when she won the reality TV show, she asked me to do away with all my old cars, promising to change my life. But since then, I haven’t seen her. And I don’t have a car again. Once in a while, the Vice-Chairman of our association will allow me to drive his own car.

“I sold all my four cars because at the time , my daughter won the show. I thought that God had finally answered our prayers. I called her on the telephone, and she said God has blessed us. She asked me to do away with all my old cars, or she would give them out to Aboki, any day she returned. So, instead of allowing her to dash out my cars to scavengers, I decided to sell them as scraps and used the proceeds to renovate my house. And that was the beginning of my suffering. I stopped doing my business because I had no car again. And my neighbours thought I was either stingy or pretending as if my daughter just won a N100 million grand prize. I was the Vice-Chairman of our association, but when I couldn’t show up at our station for some time, they replaced me with another person.

“From that moment, things started getting tough for me. I am even looking for somebody who will give me a car on hire purchase. I need help; it has come to that point. I don’t want to die in silence.”

“I only see her on Facebook or Instagram whenever she shares new photos on these platforms.”

“This is ridiculous” – Singer Peter Okoye reacts to video of Imo Governor saying he would secure jobs for 4000 youths in Europe and Canada

Peter Okoye reacts

Popular Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye, also known as Mr. P, has reacted to a video of Imo state governor, Hope Uzodinma, announcing that he would assist 4,000 indigenes of Imo state in relocating abroad.

During a campaign event ahead of the November 11 governorship election in Imo state, Hope stated that he would help them secure job opportunities in Europe and Canada by December 2023.

Peter Okoye reacts

He added that the state government would sponsor their flight tickets to the countries, eliciting cheers and applause from the crowd.

In his words,

“I have gone further to negotiate with the European Union government and Canadian government. They are sending us special areas of skill which our youths will also learn and by December this year, 4000 Imo youths will be employed in Europe.’ Once the employment letter drops, the governor will pay for your air ticket.”

This promise didn’t sit well with Peter Okoye of the PSquare music group, and he took to his Instagram Stories to describe it as “ridiculous.”

He added that he finds it absurd that a governor is promising to take his people abroad for better jobs instead of creating job opportunities in his state.

The 41-year-old singer wrote,

“4000 Imo youths will be employed in Europe! And they are jubilating! Eiya!
It is well! APC

A Governor who is supposed to create an enabling environment and job opportunities for the state he’s governing is promising to take the citizens outside the country for jobs!

This is so ridiculous.
Dis politicians no rate us at all! Even Hope is Hopeless! Shame”

“You’re putting your faves up against their colleagues that can change their lives” – Kiddwaya tells BBNaija fans

Kiddwaya tells

Big Brother Naija star, Kiddwaya, has taken to social media to address fans who drag their favourite housemates into unnecessary conflicts.

In a post shared on his Instagram page, the billionaire’s son emphasized that he is good on his own but is concerned for other BBNaija stars.

He noted that some fans have pushed their faves into needless rivalries with people they have no issues with. This, in turn, has made the reality TV show toxic, making it challenging for businesses to associate with them.

 Kiddwaya tells

Kiddwaya also pointed out that certain fans have pitted their favorites against their fellow colleagues that could potentially change their lives.

His post reads;

“ATTENTION ‼️

Why can’t you support your people in peace. You’re giving them false hope and making them bigger than they’re actually are. Life will humble them very quickly. Instead of you to be hyping them up and supporting their businesses you’re putting them up against their colleagues that can change their lives or at least add to it. All in the name of big brother.

Do you know how many of them feel the need to do things behind their fans back because they are worried of the back lash. The majority cannot even live in peace without the fear of being dragged. Why do you think a lot of them don’t last long in the industry. Mental health is real! Making money is hard, its not by engagements but relationships. For me its all cruise because I no say I get. But for the ones who are coming up they need every help that’s out there not for you to be creating enemies that are not there. Now by default they must adopt those enemies you the fans have created for them.

A lot of people and businesses don’t want to mix with bbn because of the toxic fans and toxic blogs surrounding the show and the only people you are truly damaging are the people you claim to support. Sha. The next big brother is around the corner so i guess you can pick a new fav to fuck up. To my colleagues. Use your head wisely and don’t follow the narrative they create for you.”

“The next time you mention my children’s name or wish them dɘad, Ogun ma pa e” – Actress, Iyabo Ojo fires back at Kemi Olunloyo

Iyabo Ojo fires

Popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has slammed investigative journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, for her response to the video of her and her colleague, Tonto Dikeh, shopping for a casket for the late singer, Mohbad.

It will be recalled that the video went viral on Thursday, September 28, sparking mixed reactions on social media, with some berating the celebrities for sharing the video online while others defended them. ICYMI, you can watch the video here.

 Iyabo Ojo fires

In reaction to the incident, Kemi Olunloyo took to Facebook to criticize Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh for making the video public and questioned whether Iyabo would allow it if it were her child who had died.

She wrote,

“Nigerians are blasting Tonto and lyabo all over the internet. I’m sure if Festus or Priscilla died she would not like anyone to videotape the casket shopping and post it online. Tonto is already a super clout chaser. I came up with the idea that Sanwo should give him a befitting burial at Ebony vaults. You stole the idea and messed it up by videoing it for content.
Even Mohbad is singing “Wetin be dis one like
The young man don suffer.”

 Iyabo Ojo fires

This evidently didn’t sit well with Iyabo Ojo, and she fired back at Kemi Olunloyo, stating that she would face the wrath of ‘Ogun’ the next time she mentions her children’s names or wishes them dead.

Iyabo posted a screenshot of Kemi’s post with the caption,

“Bobrisky is tox!c. He doesn’t have half the talent I have” – Crossdresser James Brown tells those comparing them (video)

Crossdresser James Brown tells

Nigerian crossdresser, James Brown, has once again taken a swipe at his senior colleague in crossdressing, Idris Okuneye, better known as Bobrisky.

In a recent interview with Cool FM, James Brown stated that he is very different from Bobrisky and that they shouldn’t be compared.

 Crossdresser James Brown tells

He described the self-proclaimed ‘mummy of Lagos’ as short, chubby, fair-skinned, and toxic, while he, on the other hand, sees himself as fun, engaging, and loving.

James, who recently made his debut as an actor, added that the 32-year-old influencer doesn’t possess half of the talent that he does.

 Crossdresser James Brown tells

When asked about why he chose to become a crossdresser, he explained that he didn’t just decide to become one; he was born with it.

Watch the interview below,

A while back, James Brown reacted after his senior colleague, Bobrisky, showed off his newly acquired body.

Recall that the self-styled male barbie finally unveiled the result of his recent surgical procedure on Wednesday, August 24. He shared a series of photos and videos to properly display his curvaceous body.

He was seen sporting a two-piece Calvin Klein underwear that showcased his transformed body.

In reaction to his big reveal, his colleague in the crossdressing world, James Brown, went online to send a message to him.

The self-proclaimed ‘Princess of Africa’ extended his condolences to Bobrisky for his loss and expressed joy at seeing him active online again. He further complimented Bobrisky’s surgically enhanced body, describing it as perfect.

However, he advised Bobrisky to calm down and not go overboard in his attempt to make waves on the internet.

“Burna Boy is sleazy, he is cheap, he is a thief, very unoriginal” – Brymo

Nigerian singer, Brymo has stirred reactions online with his opinion about his colleague Burnaboy and his controversial statement about afrobeat.

Recall that Burna Boy stated in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe that most Afrobeat musicians lack life experiences, which renders their music empty.

Speaking in a recent interview with TVC News, Brymo criticized Burnaboy for attempting to create another subgenre of Afrobeat based off the hard work of Fela Kuti.

According to him, Afrobeat was not just a genre but a style of music, and it was disrespectful to try to modify it and label others as number one in a field that didn’t belong to them

He said,

“I saw a video where he said he was the Jesus of Afrobeat and he put Davido and Wizkid on some other mountain like that.

I think he is sleazy, he is cheap, he is a thief, very unoriginal, very fake. Every song is a sample or a stolen slogan. Who does that?

Afrobeat is a music style, not a genre. Fela started the genre and it is disrespectful that a new generation of musicians came and just added ‘S’ to create another center of number one.

I think its a very big problem that we have, even in black American music. First it was hip-hop, then it became rap, then it became trap. We just show up and try to remake what our older brother did; there should be continuity.”

“I gave Mohbad 2 million to perform at my mother’s burial, he never turned up” — Sam Larry releases statement

Nigerian socialite, Sam Larry, has released an official statemment detailing his involvement with late singer, Mohbad.

Recall that Sam Larry was arrested upon entry into the country last night following multiple accusations that he assaulted Mohbad.

According to a statement posted online by Sam Larry, he had paid Mohbad to perform at his mother’s funeral, but Mohbad backed out of the event without issuing a refund.

He alleged that the viral video with Zlatan, in which he threatened Mohbad, was an attempt to secure a refund of his payment and that he had no involvement in Mohbad’s death as he was not in the country.

Read the statement below,

“PIs, Read this**
‘2 year’s ago, I gave Ileri N2m to perform at my mother’s annual remembrance concert at Ikorodu, he boy never turned up, so I called him to ask why?, He then said he was not feeling well and when I asked for a refund, he said he lost his phone and money recently when the NDLEA raided his place in the process and since he was leaving Marlian Records, he is now broke, with no commitment to repay.
then left, all for me to later hear that this same boy was having a musical video shoot the next door, practically next street to my house, so I went there o ask for my money again, we had an argument that asted 5mins, even one of his friends insisted he was going pay the money, up till today one kobo they have not paid me, this was early last year. I have since then moved on,
I traveled to Kenya to find new African act that can perform at my mother’s concert this year. I have been away since August 20!, till now I don’t know anything other than what was written in the blogs and press. I don’t even know where he lives, I only know his former label boss and their house. I don’t know any nurse or doctor or hospital, I don’t know anything about his movement, I don’t have that time, I have lost a lot more money than that before, you win some you loose some.
That is my story case close. I came here willingly and happily. I know nothing about how the musician died ”’ -Sam Larry”

Hilarious moment comedian Bovi spoiled his wife’s attempt to surprise him with a visit from London (video)

comedian Bovi spoiled

Nigerian comedian, Bovi Ugboma, has shared a video of the funny moment he thwarted his wife Kris’s attempt to surprise him with a visit from London.

Bovi revealed that his wife wanted to show up unannounced and surprise him ahead of his forthcoming show in Lagos on Saturday, September 30.

However, he had already figured out her surprise plan and decided to ‘surprise’ her instead. On the fateful day, he arranged pillows on their bed and covered them with a duvet to make it look like him.

comedian Bovi spoiled

He then hid himself in a blind spot in the room and waited for her to enter the bedroom. Amusingly, Kris tiptoed into the room and placed her phone on the TV console to capture the surprise.

When she opened the duvet, she was surprised to find pillows instead of her husband, and in that moment, Bovi came out of hiding to startle her, sparking laughter from both of them.

Sharing the video, the 44-year-old comedian disclosed that his wife has been trying to surprise him for 14 years but has never been successful.

He wrote,

“@krisasimonye wanted to surprise me to be by my side for my show on Saturday. She’s been trying to always surprise me for 14 years now. No luck. The giveaway signs had too many loopholes.”

During his stay in Nigeria, his wife obtained a Diploma, secured a good job, and upskilled herself while taking care of their kids.

After spending six years in Nigeria, he chose to return to Canada following the election of the incumbent president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Unfortunately, he struggled to find a good job due to a lack of marketable skills and opted for a menial job.

According to the journalist, the man’s wife and children began to disrespect and talk down to him, presumably due to his financial status.

In light of this, the journalist advised men against relocating with their wives abroad, as they may start acting like demigods.

He also challenged him to host a show at the Eko Hotel in Lagos, as he did, to see if it would sell out.

“No woman who has ever tasted sxx can ever fully abstain” – Nigerian man

Nigerian man

A Nigerian man, identified as Neo on the microblogging platform X, has opined that no sexually active woman can completely abstain from sex.

He shared this viewpoint in response to a viral tweet that asked netizens to share their unpopular opinions about sex that might invite criticism.

According to him, any non-virgin woman who refuses to sleep with a man does so because she either doesn’t like the man, wants to exploit his low self-esteem, engages in self-pleasure, or is involved with other men.

Read his full tweet below,

“There is not a single woman on earth who has tasted sex that can ever fully abstain, so when you meet a girl who is not a virgin and she tells you “no sex before marriage”, it’s not because she has found christ or she has learnt any lesson from all her previous whoring around, it is simply one of four things:

1)She does not rate or like you enough to do with you what she has been doing with other men so she is giving you silly conditions to push you away.

2)She clearly sees you are a weak fool who is suffering from acute low self-esteem, very low self-confidence and non-existent self-worth. She knows you severely lack options and will settle for whatever silly standards she sets just so she can at least do you the favour of marrying your pitiful self and allowing you access to crumbs of her vagina.

3)She is seriously masturbating, be it with just her fingers or sex toys.

4)As she is making you wait till marriage, she is still getting fvcked by her exes, male bestie, male friends, colleagues, sneaky links and one night stands.

It is either one of these 4 options or all 4 of them. This rule applies to EVERY FEMALE ON EARTH and there are no exceptions. No female who has ever tasted sex can ever fully abstain so before you accept any silly “no sex till marriage” from any clown who is not even a virgin to begin with, call your parents and siblings first so they can remind you how much you are loved at home.”

Lady narrates how her ex-lover allegedly burned down her 4-bedroom apartment and bar after she called off their engagement

A Nigerian lady identified as Chichi has taken to social media to narrate how she tragically lost her house and bar to fire weeks after calling off her engagement.

According to her, she met her partner while building her home, as he was an engineer working there. They eventually got along and developed a romantic relationship, which led to their engagement.

However, she said that things went south when she refused to move into her lover’s one-room flat on rent because she already had a four-bedroom home. He insisted that she move into his flat instead of hers, so she broke off her engagement to him.

The woman explained that the situation got worse when the man promised to make her regret her choice. A few weeks later, her house and her bar were mysteriously burned down.

She wrote;

“This picture. this was in 2018. I was running my own bar/restaurant, had my own car, started building my own house (was roofing it at the time I took this picture).

Then I met Jeff; he was my engineer. A cute one Whenever I went to my site, he’d always look for a way to deviate from the real issues to start telling me how humble I was and how beautiful I looked. He’d always say we were going to make a beautiful couple lol.

Initially, I would always try to shove it off, but somehow I eventually gave in… I was very much single at the time, though. So I thought I should give him a chance.

Everything was going on well; the house was completed, I moved in. Fast forward to December 2019, he proposed, I accepted.

We had issues with whose house we’d live in after marriage mine or his lol. He was living in a 1-bedroom apartment as a tenant at the time, but I had my own house, “a 4-bed bungalow” where we wouldn’t have to bother about paying rent.

But he said he’d never move in with me, and of course, I would never leave my house to go start paying rent for Christ’s sake.

I called off the engagement since we weren’t agreeing with each other…he didn’t see it coming though. A week after I called off the engagement, he called me on the phone and said, I quote, ‘I will deal with you for disgracing me like this.’ I was like, how on earth is calling off an engagement a disgrace???

How? He said he had said what he said. I didn’t take his threat seriously, though. I went about my business.

On the 15th of June 2020, (a day I’d never forget) I had traveled out of town to celebrate my birthday, which was coming up on the 18th of June.

Very early morning of 15th June 2020, I got a call from a man who lived opposite my house, telling me that my house was burning.

I screamed, ‘how?????’ I cried and begged him to help me do something, call the fire service or something the fire service guys arrived after my house had completely burnt down.

At about 4 pm the same day, I picked up a call from an unknown number, it was Jeff, my ex’s voice, he said, ‘I told you I’d deal with you,’ and he hung up. I was shocked, confused, and speechless at the same time.

The following day, I hurriedly made my way back to my base, I went to the police and wrote a petition against my ex, I told them it was him who burnt my house.

He was brought in for questioning, but I had nothing to prove he was the anonymous caller.

But I was sure it was him but I couldn’t prove it. He was set free because I had no case against him.

A week later, my bar/restaurant also got burnt down lol it happened like magic. Nobody knew where the fire came from. Everything happened very fast. I went into depression. I almost committed suicide.

Until this day, I still believe strongly it was done by my ex. But of course, I have no proof lmao.”

I couldn’t deal with the whole thing, I sold my car, and moved to Lagos so I could stay very far away from that devil.

Ever since then, whenever someone tells me, ‘I’ll deal with you,’ I never take it lightly.”

Man calls off wedding after his fiancée’s sister cut his beards while asleep

A young man has called off his wedding and broken up their engagement after his fiancée’s sister shaved off his beard while he was asleep.

He and his fiancée had dated for six years before their breakup and were engaged for a year before her sister decided to give him a new appearance.

The man who admitted to growing the beards for eight years claimed that he and his fiancée got into a fight when he told her he wouldn’t be shaving them for the wedding.

He said that while he was sleeping, he awoke to see his 32-year-old sister-in-law shaving his beard.

Sharing the ordeal on Reddit, he wrote,

“Myself (28m) fiancé (25f) who we’ll call Lexi are a happy couple of 6 years and engaged for 1 or so I thought. For context my fiancé’s sister (32f) we’ll call her Sally, has always been hostile towards me and would rarely speak to me and when she did it would be because her parents were around.

Sally is Lexi’s rock because she got her through a tough time during college and since then Lexi has told sally everything about everything. we’ve had problems with this in the past due to her telling Sally personal things about my childhood I’d only told a few people. wich led to us not speaking for 3 months during covid when she’d only leave our room for food and to go to the toilet, and recently we hadn’t had an argument in a year plus until 3 nights ago she mentioned that she’d like me to shave my beard. for context I have a very thick beard that I’ve been growing for 8 years and am very proud of so ofcourse I told Lexi I wouldn’t be shaving my beard to which she stormed off to the kitchen and slammed her wine glass into the sink smashing it and a plate in the process.

I immediately stood up and asked wtf she was doing, she then spun around and screamed that I’m a selfish a-hole because I won’t shave my beard and ran to our bedroom and slammed the door. I ended up sleeping on the couch and woke up at around 4am to sally with a razor trying to shave my beard so I pushed her off me. Lexi then ran to check on Sally whilst I was looking at the big patch Sally had taken out of my beard, then I went upstairs and packed a bag whilst Lexi shouted at me for hurting sally.

I told her to f-off and that the wedding was off and walked out the house and drove an hour to my parents house where I’ve been staying since the incident. earlier today I got a text from Sally saying I was selfish for not shaving my beard because when I go down on Lexi it feels weird I haven’t replied to her. my family think I should break off the relationship but her family said I should just shave it all and move on. So what should I do and am I wrong?”

In other news, a Nigerian soldier has expressed his displeasure with Nigerians mourning the late singer Mohbad but have never mourned his slain colleagues who died in the line of duty.

The soldier, who said he has been in the bush for days, criticized Nigerians for not appreciating the sacrifices made by the men of the Nigerian army to protect the country.

According to him, the entire nation has been mourning the deceased singer for weeks, and social media platforms are filled with his pictures and tributes, while soldiers who spend days in the bush and risk their lives to protect the citizens have never received that level of honor.

He added that instead of receiving praise, soldiers are often disregarded and disrespected by civilians.

Speaking further, he threatened to deal with anyone who fails to give him the respect he believes he deserves.

“I refused to support Adekunle because he was ‘shipping’ with someone I dislike” – Phyna

BBNaija level-up winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, better known as Phyna, has stated why she sided with Ilebaye against Adekunle in the latest Big Brother Naija ‘All Stars’ season.

Recall that Ilebaye and Adekunle, who are both finalists in the All Star edition, took part in the Level Up season that Phyna won the year before.

Phyna claimed she decided against running a campaign for him, as she did for Ilebaye, because they are not very close, and he was in a relationship with Venita, whom she dislikes.

Venita and Adekunle were dating before Venita was eliminated from the show on Sunday, and they both admitted to this fact during the show’s host, Ebuka.

The Edo-born actress said in a widely shared video that she was unable to conceal her sentiments and that she was unable to stand by him since he was shipping with Venita.

Phyna continued by saying that she was more devoted to the Level Up season, of which Ilebaye was a member, than to the participant.

“I was offered N3m to paint Mohbad’s wife as the prime suspect” – Uche Maduagwu

Popular Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu has claimed to have received a N3 million offer to accuse the bereaved wife of the late singer Mohbad, Omowunmi, of being responsible for his death.

He made this revelation in a video, where he described being approached to spread a rumor that the woman had a hand in her husband’s death. His task was to convince the woman to conduct a DNA test on Mohbad’s child.

Maduagwu claims that someone approached him and offered him N3 million in exchange for spreading the rumor that Mohbad’s wife was responsible for the singer’s passing and engaged in paternity fraud.

However, the actor stated that he promptly declined the tempting offer because he neither had a personal connection with the late singer nor had the authority to make such demands or accusations.

He also mentioned that the same individual who intended to give him 3 million naira might have enlisted other social media influencers to disseminate the false information that Mohbad’s wife was a prime suspect and required a DNA test.
