DJ Kaywise breaks silence following disturbing post (Video)

Hours after sharing a disturbing post, Nigerian disc jockey, Ayorinde Kehinde Okiki, popularly known as DJ Kaywise, has released a video in which he refutes claims made by his family members against his partner, Nelly.

Recall that a few days ago, his girlfriend, Nenny, took to social media to cry out about an attempt against her by his brother and some other staff that he fired.

According to her, they came to her house under the guise of delivering a package, but their plans were thwarted when Kaywise went to pick up the delivery instead. ICYMI DJ Kaywise’s lover, Benny B cries out over alleged kidnap and threat to life by her in-laws (video)

In a recent development, Kaywise uploaded a video in response to his alarming post in which he addressed the issues and lamented that, in spite of everything that was supposedly stated by his family members—including his mother, who was allegedly slapped—none of them had come forward to refute the claims.

He said;

“Ideally I was expecting them to say the truth as children of God and as a Christian family, but that never happened. If not for this recent Nenny’s case, I am pretty sure they would have kept quiet. During the course of this Nenny’s case, I was invited by the police as a witness to the issue. That was when the police heard the whole story and they were shocked and that was when they mandated my family to go out and say the truth. Hence that is why you are just seeing a video of my mother trying to clear the air after eight months.

In 2021, I had fired everyone in the CCTV footage Nenny put out, including my twin brother, for the horrible things that they did. I even reported the matter to my parents. Instead of them cautioning him and his association with those people, they supported all of them and asked me Kaywise to leave. I cut ties. So I see no reason why they will go to my babe’s house uninvited. If you knew how I was raised, you go dey wonder why I dey even dey show love sef? But that doesn’t mean that I am a fool. It just means that I am a better person.

If my family comes out and says I am lying, then I will have no choice than to drop the voice recording from that day and also other receipts that will shock you all.”

According to Kaywise, he isn’t going to make false statements, since he is a Christian and his family members cannot go behind his wife’s back to apologize after sullying her image.

“If they now need me after three years and are regretting their decision of cutting ties, is creating all these lies the best way to go about it? Accusing and blaming an innocent girl. Girl they have met and dined with, of bewitching and kidnaping a grown man like me. Like who does that?

Fastforward to 2023, you can see that my family are still associating with the same people I fired three years ago. As sensitive as this is, I am not one to encourage bad things, I will only speak the truth because I am a child of God.

You cannot want to settle with your own child at the detriment of another person’s reputation because that is someone else’s child we are talking about. I believe they could have done better,” he added.

BBNaija All Stars: “Organizers initially invited me to be a real housemate” – KimOprah

Big Brother Naija star Chinonso Opara, popularly known as KimOprah, has stated that she initially declined an invitation to join the Big Brother Naija All Stars housemates.

The TV presenter claimed the initial invitation conflicted with her job schedule and she was unable to accept it at the time. She later entered the show three weeks ago as a house guest.

Speaking after being evicted on Sunday, Kim Oprah explained why she agreed to appear on the show for a cameo in an interview with BellaNaija.

She claimed that even after she turned down the initial summons, the organizers still got in touch with her to ask if she would be open to returning to the BBNaija house as a fake housemate (house guest), and she agreed.

Kim Oprah said;

“I was initially summoned to go into the House for the main show but unfortunately my work schedule did not permit me.

Luckily enough, they [Big Brother organisers] asked if I could come back as a guest housemate and that was the period we were also preparing for the Headies Awards.

So we had actually halted production for my own show which is ‘Trending’ on Hip TV. So, I was given the time off to go into the House for a bit and come out.”

“I dreamt about my son two days before his death” – MohBad’s father reveals [Video]

Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, better known as Mohbad’s father, Mr Joseph Aloba has disclosed the dream he had about his son two days prior to his death as well as the alleged cause of death.

Recall that the singer sadly passed away on Tuesday, September 12, and was laid to rest barely 24 hours later in Ikorodu, Lagos State, according to Islamic rites.

In an interview with well-known content producer @og_baba1, Mr. Joseph Aloba said that he had a closer connection with the late musician than a father-son relationship.

He also discussed his last interaction with Mohbad, admitting that he had visited his son at his house and shared a meal there.

He said,

“Mohbad is my friend. I called him Oladimeji (meaning my second) because I’m the only son of my parents. We were close.

The last day we met which was last Saturday, I went there (Mohbad’s house) and we dined together. When I was leaving he also gave me some money like he always did.

I had a dream about him, two days before the incident. In the dream, I saw someone trying to shoot me. I thought I escaped the bullet not knowing something like this would happen to me.”

Addressing what had caused his death and what he suspects, he said,

“According to what I heard from people, though I don’t believe was that an auxiliary nurse administered him an injection, and that could have led to anything.”

Big Brother Naija ‘All Stars’ housemate, Doyin Davids, has publicly apologized to her friend, Beauty Tukura.

Days after being evicted from the big brother house, Doyin took to her X (formerly known as Twitter) account to tender an apology to Beauty.

In a new development, Doyin admitted the gravity of her actions and shared a lengthy apology in public, stating that the friendship meant a lot to her.

She wrote,

“I have been doing some soul-searching since I left the house and I realize the gravity of my actions. I want you to know that I never intended to hurt you and I’m devastated that my words had such a negative impact on our friendship.

You mean a lot to me and I value our friendship a lot. It’s painful to think that my behavior has put that friendship at risk and I want you to understand that I take full responsibility for my actions and I’m committed to making amends.

I genuinely care about you and our friendship and I’m willing to invest the time and effort required to mend what has been broken.

Once again, I hope that you recognize that publicly I have offended you and publicly I am saying… I am genuinely sorry @beautyetukura and I do love you very much ❤️”

Man caught trying to use eggs to smuggle drugs to his friend in prison

A Ghanaian man has gotten into trouble after he attempted to give his jailed friend some “contraband” relief.

He was detained by members of the Ghana Prisons Service as he attempted to smuggle what was thought to be cannabis-infused hard narcotics into Nsawam Medium Security Prison in Ghana.

He devised a method of packing the drugs into eggs and resealing them to make them appear undamaged. The suspect afterwards attended Nsawam prison with the eggs in a crate, claiming he wanted to present them to his friend, who was a prisoner.

Unluckily for him, a suspicious prison guard chose to crack one egg out of curiosity and discovered marijuana within.

They later cracked up another of the eggs and found that the intoxicant was present in every one of them. After being busted, the suspect—whose name was withheld—was subsequently taken into custody.

Social media users in Ghana stormed the timeline with witty and amusing remarks in response to the news.

See some comments below.

@mynameis_kofi; the egg seller and poultry farmer should be blamed ..he is innocent

@gbedemah12; Dem for lef your man 🤣🤣 then go catch the fowls wey lay the eggs 😂😂😂

@MarcelSaint2; Good or bad? 😅 Because now he’d be that friend he loves so much.

@Madida_DmL; They do it always and I’m sure the reason why he was arrested is may be because it’s either he couldn’t pay a bribe or refused to pay a bribe.

@_nunoojunior; Now he wouldnt have to visit again, he’ll always see his friend now. Miracle nor dy taya Jesus.

In other news, veteran Nollywood actor Richard Mofe Damijo, better known as RMD, has said that maintaining faithfulness in marriage is challenging.

The actor made this comment in response to a question about marriage and staying faithful from well-known comedian Teju Babyface during a recent interview.

He said that it is tough to overcome the fact that married men are typically the focus of women with evil intentions.

He drew comparisons between those women and biblical villains like Jezebel and Delilah, who plotted the deaths of male characters.

He added that the only way to get over such women’s efforts is to shoot them down with power.

RMD continued by drawing a comparison between the situation and that of an army commander and emphasizing the need for men to remain resilient in the face of difficulty.

Odumodublvck opens up on dropping out of university after getting 0.01 GPA

Popular Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, better known as Odumodublvck, has revealed that he purposely dropped out of Bowen University in Iwo, Osun State.

The Declan Rice singer admitted that the university’s “strict rules and limited freedom” prevented him from graduating.

In a recent interview with Dadaboy, Odumodublvck claimed that despite his reluctance, his parents still wanted him to enroll at the private university.

The artist claims that he purposefully skipped tests, which resulted in a 0.01 grade point average (GPA).

Additionally, he disclosed that he quit school without his parents’ permission and chose to start over at the University of Lagos (UNILAG).

In his words,

“I did not want to go to Bowen but my dad was like ‘You have to go to Germany or you go to UNIABUJA’. He was telling my mum I cannot go to a private school. And I told my mum, ‘see this BOWEN, you are gonna waste your money’.

One day I came late for chapel, and they asked me, ‘why did I come late?’ I told them cause there was no water, there was no light to iron so he said ‘other people nko?’ I said ‘sir, did you come here without bathing?’ And they told us to kneel down. I said I am not gonna kneel down.

They said they were gonna call the VC. I said ‘call him’. The VC came and said ‘I am gonna call your mother’, I said ‘call her’. I was not giving a f**k ’cause then I was like a raging lion, I did not wanna be there. I left that school.

My GP was 0.01 cause I was missing exams on purpose. I dropped out of school by myself and stayed at my aunt’s side. I bought a diploma form from UNILAG because I could not go back to ABJ.”

#BBNaija All Stars: “How dare you?” – Ilebaye rants as CeeC rubs off her lipstick on Doyin’s picture after kissing it 4 times (Video)

Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate, Ilebaye Precious Odiniya, better known as Ilebaye, has gotten into a heated argument with fellow housemate, CeeC after the latter wiped off her kiss from the portrait of recently evicted housemate, Doyin.

Ceec claimed that she wiped of the lip stain because Ilebaye had kissed the picture multiple times without leaving room for other housemates who were real friends of Doyin.

Recall that Doyin complained that Ilebaye never had her back in the house and constantly made friends with housemates like Venita, who made Doyin’s stay in the house intolerable because she defended her friend Ilebaye against her. As a result, Doyin and Ilebaye, who were once really close friends at the beginning of the show, had a huge falling out.

CeeC wiped them off and made room for true friends since she believed that Ilebaye had not been a good friend and that her kisses were only a superficial façade.

She said that Doyin had told her to only allow one kiss per person on her photo.

Ilebaye took offense to this and erupted when she saw the picture that had been cleaned. She questioned who had the audacity to do so.

In her words,

“I kissed Doyin’s picture and the person had the liver, the audacity to come and clean the lipstick, how dare you?”

To which Ceec replied, “You k!ssed in 4 places instead of 1. She has friends in the house who will also k!ss, real friends actually. Where were you when she was in the house?”

“It’s made our marriage stronger” – Woman reveals why she breastfeeds her husband

Woman reveals

An American couple has caused a buzz on the internet after revealing that their marriage has grown stronger since the wife started breastfeeding her husband.

Rachel Bailey, 30, began breastfeeding her husband Alexander, 30, in 2016, when she started over-lactating while nursing their kids.

They admitted that it felt strange at first, but now claims that it is absolutely fine and that it’s not a ‘kink’.

Woman reveals

The mother of three wrote,

“When my eldest child, Troy, now seven, was breastfeeding, I went away on a cruise with Alexander.

“However, I forgot my breast pump and was badly engorged for two days. I was in so much pain and I was scared about getting an infection, so we decided that my husband was going to try drinking the milk to relieve me.

“We were nervous about the idea of him breastfeeding from me as we thought it seemed weird, but as soon as we did it, we realised it was perfectly fine.

Woman reveals

“Alexander said that the milk was really different to how he expected it to taste, compared to the normal milk he was used to drinking.”

“We realised there was nothing wrong with me breastfeeding him, and it would actually be good for him as it is so nutritious.

“He didn’t get a cold for two years after he started drinking my milk and so many people said his skin was so much better too.

“He ended up loving the taste of my breast milk and even prefers it to cow’s milk now.

“It’s not a kink for us. It started as Alexander just helping me out when I was in pain, but it turned into more of an emotional bonding thing.

“I love breastfeeding him as it allows us to spend quality time together. It’s definitely brought us closer as a couple.”

Following the birth of their two younger kids – six-year-old Aria and two-year-old Matthew, the Florida-born woman said she found out that she was overlactating again and her husband decided to step in and help.

She, however, noted that she makes sure the children are filled first before breastfeeding her husband. She added that he only gets fed at night now, as opposed to thrice daily, because she is producing less milk.

“It’s funny because if I eat something spicy, it also gives Alexander gas too,” she said.

“Shortly after giving birth, when I was producing the most milk, Alexander was drinking my milk three to four times a day.

“Obviously the babies are always fed first before it’s his turn. He would spend about five to ten minutes on each boob.

“It’s a bit of a taboo subject, but we wanted to share it because we don’t think it’s bad and we aren’t ashamed. It was an instant relief when Alexander latched on, and it stopped me from being in pain.

“On top of that, it has also created a more special bond between us which we never would have had if we didn’t start this.

“Nothing bad has come from it at all, so why should it be something that is hidden?”

Panic spreads among residents as flooding inundates Lagos neighborhood (video)

The denizens of Gate House, nestled within the enclave of Gold Crescent, LSDPC Bungalow Scheme, Oke Afa, Isolo, Lagos, find themselves ensconced in a palpable sense of apprehension.

This unsettling atmosphere has arisen in the wake of a flooding of their estate on Tuesday, September 12, an event precipitated by the consistent rain in the month of September.

See video below ;

This occurrence marks not the inaugural instance this year wherein certain neighborhoods in Lagos have borne the brunt of flooding.

One may recollect that back in June, the residents of Shasha, situated in the Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State, were compelled to voice their grievances concerning the inundation that beset their community. They cast aspersions on the former state Commissioner of Works, Rauf Aregbesola, attributing the deluge to his directives for the dam release from Ajisebiara-Makka to Shasha.

It is worth noting that this issue has persisted for a protracted duration, with numerous complaints registered at Alausa. Regrettably, the community’s pleas for assistance have thus far gone unanswered.

“Being faithful in marriage is hard” – Richard Mofe Damijo (video)

Veteran Nollywood actor Richard Mofe Damijo, better known as RMD, has said that maintaining faithfulness in marriage is challenging.

The actor made this comment in response to a question about marriage and staying faithful from well-known comedian Teju Babyface during a recent interview.

He said that it is tough to overcome the fact that married men are typically the focus of women with evil intentions.

He drew comparisons between those women and biblical villains like Jezebel and Delilah, who plotted the deaths of male characters.

He added that the only way to get over such women’s efforts is to shoot them down with power.

RMD continued by drawing a comparison between the situation and that of an army commander and emphasizing the need for men to remain resilient in the face of difficulty.

In addition, he advised men to pitch in for their spouses during such challenges and to guard against Jezebel-like women.

He said,

“It is very hard, let’s face it. Every one of us that is married, we are the target, I mean look at women, how can we escape it.

Women are like Jezebel, they are like Delilah. They prepare The only way you can perpetuate the real intentions of the enemy is to constantly aim at the image of God or the symbol of authority at any time, you shoot it down”

“Why I rejected a Range Rover Evoque gift from a man” – Content creator, Kiekie reveals

Kiekie reveals

Nigerian content creator, Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori, better known as Kiekie, has revealed why she turned down a Range Rover Evoque gift from her ex-boyfriend years back.

In a recent interview with media personality Toke Makinwa on her show “Toke Moments”, Kiekie recounted how her ex-boyfriend told her to reveal whatever she wanted for Valentine’s day and she replied that she wanted a Range Rover Evoque.

Interestingly, the man showed up at her shop a few days later with the multi-million naira vehicle to give her. Much to the man’s surprise, Kiekie said she rejected the expensive car.

 Kiekie reveals

She went on to cite two reasons why she didn’t accept the Range Rover.

Firstly, collecting the car would mean that she would have to marry the man due to the kind of family she is from.

Secondly, she knew she didn’t want to marry him because he didn’t believe in her business dreams and aspirations.

Her words,

“There was this guy I was seeing. It was Valentine some years ago and he was like what would you like? I said I wanted a Range Rover Evoque and like 3 or 4 days later, this guy brought the Range Rover to my shop in Opebi in Ikeja.

When I saw the car, it was two things. If I take that car, it means that I’m marrying that man because of the type of family that I am from. Because my father will be wondering.. the thing that made me to collect car from a man, you are marrying the man.

Now this is the same man that once said to me.. if we are married, you cannot be here more than 2pm. What are you doing? What are you sewing? How much is the cloth you are sewing? That was what he told me. So you are not thinking beyond what I was doing. You are just seeing me doing what is taking my time, not that I’m investing my time into that thing. So we are not in the same space.”

“When I helped her plan for her wedding (she did not have a wedding planner) and 2 weeks before the wedding, I told her I don’t know what I am going to wear to her wedding. Her response was, “Is it possible to not come? I’ve decided to invite close people.

No. She told me I was not invited, so I respected her wishes. I sent the present because I already had bought it and it was engraved her name x his.”

“Wizkid and I created the afrobeats sound of today” – Samklef

Popular Nigerian singer, Samuel Oguachuba, professionally known as Samklef, has claimed to have co-invented Afrobeats with Grammy-winning musician Wizkid for the Nigerian music business.

This was revealed on Monday by Samklef via his X (Formerly known as Twitter) account, who said that Nigerian contemporary music lacked a genre and name until he and Wizkid gave the genre the term “Afrobeats” in 2010.

The “Molowo Noni” crooner claimed that although Nigerian music pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti is credited with inventing Afrobeats, Wizkid’s rise to fame as a producer in the past ten years, which he helped to bring about, heralded a new era for the country’s modern music industry. 

According to Samklef, they both deserve credit for the magic and the name Afrobeats.

Sharing a throwback video of himself and Wizkid on his X page on Monday, Samklef wrote:

“Meet the Nigerian two kids that created the afrobeats sound of today. As of 2009, Nigerian music had no title! Until these two created magic! 2010! Even the award categories in Nigeria were Best Hip Hop, Best R and B, Best Alternative Music and Best Reggae! There was nothing like Best Afrobeats! It was Wizkidayo who named it afrobeats! Know this and know peace! Fela created Afrobeat!”
