“It takes some level of stupidity to remain married” – Nigerian doctor who has been married for 38 years says

Nigerian doctor

A Nigerian doctor, identified simply as Dr Akpoki, has taken to social media to share the crucial ingredient for maintaining a successful marriage.

Addressing both married folks and those planning to get married, the doctor said it would take some level of stupidity for their marriages to work because it entails a lot of forbearance and tolerance.

Dr. Akpoki, who has been married for 38 years, added that it will be difficult for highly logical and intelligent people to sustain a long-lasting marriage.

Nigerian doctor

He cited this as a contributing factor to the end of the marriage of American business man, Bill Gates and his ex-wife, Melinda.

His words,

“If you cannot tolerate the following things, don’t get married. Number one, if you cannot control your temper, do not get married. If you cannot tolerate stupidity, do not get married. If you cannot say sorry even when you are right, do not get married.

I have been married for 38 years. Falling love is ‘common sense leaving your brain’. It takes stupidity and tolerance to remain married. Those who are too smart like Bill Gates and Melinda don’t remain married. Most Nobel prize winners and very intelligent people do not maintain one relationship. It takes some level of stupidity to remain married. I have been stupid for 38 years.”

Tolanibaj says

Evicted Big Brother Naija ‘All Stars’ housemate, Tolanibaj has made a comeback to social media following her cringe-worthy display on the reality TV show.

Peter Okoye to sue two banks for allowing fraudsters impersonate him

Popular Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye of PSquare music group, has threatened banks in Nigeria with legal action for allowing impersonation.

The singer took to social media to voice concern about others exploiting his identity to con innocent victims.

Peter Okoye claimed that Access and Polaris banks failed to do due diligence when the impostor opened accounts under the name “Peter Okoye PSquare” with them.

Online scammers have taken advantage of his lottery scheme, which he has been conducting, to prey on fans who think they are doing business with the musician.

Peter threatened to file a lawsuit against the two aforementioned banks after becoming tired of the continual criticism from those who allege he conned them by requesting money.

He said that he would sue for damages and intended to call out other institutions, asking why banks would allow anyone to create an account in his name without verification.

Peter added that he suspected that the banks were working with some of the fraudsters due to the way they manage impersonation.

Mr P tweeted,

“Enough is enough. It’s either an inside job or otherwise. I have a name to protect here and save some of these innocent victims. So get ready for me and my legal team.

How can @polarisbankltd and @myaccessbank allow someone to open an account in the name of “PETER OKOYE PSQUARE” without valid means of identification, no BVN, no biometrics, no verified address or even utility bill to correspond with the address of the account owner.

Now they are using my name to scam innocent people. I’m suing this bank for damages @officialefcc take note.”

Nigerian woman weds her Romanian man five months after meeting him online

A 37-year-old Nigerian woman, Amaka Roberts, has taken to social media to express her happiness after she got married to her Romanian spouse five months after they met online.

Amaka said in a series of posts on her Instagram page that she had given up on finding true love after waiting for so long and experiencing so many heartbreaks from guys she had previously met.

She claimed to have found her spouse via a dating app in March 2023, and that during the second week of their long-distance relationship, he had requested their “marriage list.”

Sharing their love story, Amaka wrote;

“For those asking about how we met…
Our Love story.

March 5, 2023, I met my Romanian but UK based Husband on a dating app.

I had almost given up and was about deleting the app when he liked my profile, we matched and I said ” hello” and that was how it all started.

2 weeks later, he met with my parents virtually…asked for traditional marriage rites lists.

My Dad hesitated at first cos he was still in doubt if he was real or not cos I’ve had lots terrible experiences with men who came to meet my parents for my hand in marriage but later turned out to be either married or Playboys….so my dad was very sceptical about this… but being a pastor he asked for sometime to pray about it which he did….& his mind was at peace.

He sent the list…and My husband ( then my online boyfriend) sent the Money for everything in the list including my bride price, this was done after his parents met with my parents for a virtual introduction.

Fast forward to August 4th 2023, he came down to Nigeria from UK for the very first time… I was very shy to hug him properly cos my parents went with me to the airport to pick him up.

Then August 5th, we had our Court Wedding….and August 12, we did both the Traditional & Church wedding….His parents couldn’t attend physically cos of his Dad’s health but they followed it all through Virtually as it was transmitted Live for them to watch.

It was a very emotional day… God was involved from the beginning to the end, the atmosphere was charged with God’s presence as my Dad led me inside the church down the aisle.

It was the happiest day of my life getting married to the man whom God used to take away all the name calling, mockery & tears I was experiencing as a 37 years old unmarried single lady!
God never comes late, He only has His time table & He follows it duely!

To Him alone be the Glory”

Burna Boy has not by himself done anything that can be remotely described as great. He and his peers are recipients of the labours of heroes past. They need to be humble and respectful of their diligent and truly pioneering predecessors. Great artistes like SunnyAde, Fela Anikulapo, Majek Fashek , I, k.

9ice said,

“Fela Anikulapo-Kuti gave us the platform which is Afrobeat for us to climb on top. We were trying to do Afropop. We were trying to do afrobeats. We were trying to do different names. But Baba [Fela] already has something that the world recognized.

“Afrobeat taught me a lot. King Sunny Ade, Ebenezer Obey, and Fela Anikulapo-Kuti are our grandfathers. And I’m glad to be in existence to emulate or to follow what they’ve done.”

Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate, Mercy Eke, has shared her thoughts on the clash between CeeC and another housemate, Pere.

The disagreement arose due to her absence at a general meeting for their wager task.

A few minutes after their clash, Mercy Eke expressed her opinion and claimed that CeeC was just trying to create issues and unnecessary toxicity.

She said,

“They say they don’t want to do chores so it can cause issues. They pick on it and shout, then create toxicity. Toxicity will not win this season, it’s scratching them to be angry, to be mad and fight the whole universe. It’s not going to work this All Stars.”

Designer of Nigeria’s flag, Pa Taiwo Akinkunmi dies at 87

The designer of the Nigerian flag Pa Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi has passed away at the age of 87.

According to his family, Pa Akinkunmi passed away in the early hours of Tuesday, August 29, after a brief illness.

One of his children took to Facebook to announce his tragic demise.

“Life is indeed transient; I can say boldly that you live a life with a landmark. Continue to rest, my father! Pa Michael Taiwo Akinkunmi (O.F.R.): Great Man has gone.”

The late Pa Akinwunmi, who was born on May 10, 1936, had his primary education at Baptist Day Secondary School in Ibadan and his secondary education at Ibadan Grammar School in Ibadan. He began his career as a civil servant in the Secretariat of Ibadan and then went abroad to Norway Technical College to study agricultural engineering.

While living overseas in 1958, Akinkunmi came across an article in a national newspaper asking for ideas for the Nigerian flag in light of the country’s impending independence from British rule. His entry was selected as the top one out of the about 2,000 others.

A red sun with flowing rays was placed on the white band of the flag’s initial design, which was bordered by two green bands. The oversight committee finally abandoned the sun to create the current design.

The ingenuity and subtlety of Akinkunmi’s design were factors in its selection (the white band symbolizes peace, while the green bands reflect the country’s immense natural resources and forests). On Independence Day (October 1, 1960), the American flag was raised in place of the British Union Jack.

When Akinkunmi’s design was chosen, the government gave him 100 pounds. Additionally, President Goodluck Jonathan bestowed upon him the MON (Member of the Order of the Niger) Award.

May his soul rest in peace. Amen.

“Nigeria is a vacation spot, not where people should live” – Nigerian-born US soldiers reply those criticizing them for not joining the Nigerian army (video)

Nigerian-born US soldiers reply

Two Nigerian men currently serving in the US Army have responded to those criticizing them for not joining the Nigerian army and instead choosing to serve another country.

Speaking in a video making rounds online, the soldiers urged those castigating them to go ahead and join the Nigerian army and leave them out of it.

They also mentioned the current exchange rate and said they can’t serve in the Nigerian army and be paid “peanuts”. According to them, they weren’t born to suffer, and joining the Nigerian army equals suffering.

Nigerian-born US soldiers reply

One of the soldiers further described Nigeria as a vacation spot and not where people should live, and advised people to leave the country.

The clip has sparked a myriad of comments on social media, with many sharing differing opinions on the soldiers’ statements.

“You are a coward. A fool at 40” – Ceec drags Pere, claims he borrowed Tesla car to impress her on set (video)

Ceec drags

Big Brother Naija “All Stars” housemate, Ceec had a serious altercation with her fellow housemate, Pere Egbi, following her absence at a general meeting for their wager task.

Ike had gone to inform Ceec that the housemates were not happy with her decision to snub the meeting, and shared some of the things the housemates said about her.

This enraged Ceec and she questioned why they singled her out when Angel, Alex and Mercy, were also absent from the meeting.

Ceec drags

She specifically attacked Pere, whom Ike had claimed complained about her refusal to show up at the meeting. This degenerated into a serious clash, with Ceec hurling insults at Pere and calling him names.

At some point, Pere stated that he is not Tobi Bakre, CeeC’s romantic interest in the ‘Double Wahala’ edition of the show whom she fought fiercely with during their season in 2018.

This evidently got her angrier and she lashed out at Pere, claiming he has been in her DMs since 2018, begging for her attention.

Ceec drags

She further spilled other outside gist, claiming he borrowed a Tesla to impress her on a movie set, and still couldn’t win her heart.

The lawyer insinuated that Pere attacks her at the slightest opportunity because she rejected his advances.

Soldiers seize power on live TV after president Ali Bongo’s third term re-election in Gabon (video)

Soldiers seize

A group of top military officers in Gabon appeared on television in the early hours of Wednesday, August 30, to seize power following President Ali Bongo’s re-election.

During a live broadcast on Gabon 24, the officers said they were speaking on behalf of all security and defence forces in their country.

They said they have annulled the election results, closed all borders until further notice and dissolved all state institutions.

Soldiers seize

“In the name of the Gabonese people … we have decided to defend the peace by putting an end to the current regime,” the officers said.

There was tension in Gabon after the election last Saturday, which saw president Bongo emerge winner, thus extending his family’s 56-year grip on power.

The opposition party, who  had been pushing for change in the poor country despite being rich in oil and cocoa, claim there was multiple electoral malpractices during the election.

A lack of international observers, suspension of some foreign broadcast, and the government’s decision to turn off the internet and impose a night-time curfew after the voting also raised concern about the transparency of the election, prompting the military coup.

This coup makes Gabon the latest country to be taken over by the military after Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger Republic.

Newborn baby dumped in pit toilet by mother rescued after three days in Anambra

A newborn baby boy dumped in a pit toilet by his mother has been found alive in Otuocha, Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State, three days later.

According to the Anambra Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Affairs, the kid was abandoned in the bathroom after his delivery on August 27, 2023, by his 20-year-old mother, Nwaedoka Chidimma, of Izzi, Ebonyi State.

Chidimma’s acquaintance and farmer, Esther Omesi, claimed the suspect requested a few days at her home due to agricultural work.

Omesi said the suspect began acting strangely on Sunday after the victim told her she was experiencing a stomach ache and went to the pit to relieve herself.

She stated that Chidimma wasted some time, then emerged from the bathroom covered in blood. She claimed that she dialed a nurse, who examined Chidimma and discovered that the infant was missing.

She advised Chidinma to return home to tell her parents that she believed Chidinma had given birth to a stillborn child.

Mrs. Omesi stated that on Tuesday morning, August 29, they heard a baby scream and immediately used a ladder to rescue the infant before alerting the appropriate authorities.

The child was sent to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Teaching Hospital Amaku Awka for treatment after the incidence came to the attention of the Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare, Hon Ify Obinabo and arrested the culprit.

The controversial transvetite also described them as “classless” and said they deserve the treatment meted on them by the police.

 Bisi Alimi slams

He further stated that the couple should have migrated to a country where homosexuality is legal to get married and live freely.

Bobrisky’s comment apparently infuriated Bisi Alimi, who is married to a gay Caucasian man, and he slammed the crossdresser.

He called him derogatory names and said he has no right to give an opinion on gay-related issues.

Bisi wrote,

“I don’t intend to say anything about the situation in Warri, but I have one thing to say and it is one simple thing, Bobrisky is a fool and an idiot.

I blame the people that make this sorry case of human important. She belongs in the gutter and not one to have opinion about issues.”

“Most men have more than seven wives but don’t have courage to show them to the public” – Pastor says as he defends Kenyan gospel singer’s decision to marry a second wife

Pastor says

Pastor JJ, who leads the Priesthood Fellowship Church, has defended Kenyan gospel singer Muigai Wa Njoroge’s decision to marry a second wife.

The singer recently held a special event called ‘Ruracio’ for formalize his marriage to his second wife, Queen Stacey, in Kiambu County on August 26, 2023.

Pastor says

It was gathered that the duo have been together for 15 years, before choosing to legalize their union.

During the event, Pastor JJ spoke and advised people not to be too quick to judge or criticize Muigai’s decision.

The pastor highlighted that decisions like these are based on personal preferences rather than inherent moral flaws.

Pastor says

“Before crucifying Muigai, most of these men you see here have more than seven wives but they do not have the courage to show them to the public,” he said.

While quoting the bible, he reminded men about how scriptures advised them to treat women with respect, especially after sleeping with them and the cultural responsibility of paying women’s dowry after getting intimate.

He, however, stated that there might be conflicts among family members when a man passes away so he advised them to put their affairs in order while alive to prevent future conflicts.

“The discussion should be about succession and inheritance. In most cases, when a man dies and the two wives are left fighting for wealth but I will urge Muigai to put things in order when you are still alive. Also, men stop surprising me with kids at your burial,” the pastor added.

“Nigerian men are generous and last hours in bed” – Kenyan socialite Shakilla

A Kenyan socialite identified as Shakilla has revealed her reason for favoring dating Nigerian men over their Kenyan counterparts.

The controversial socialite was asked about her acquaintance with a Nigerian named Black Boy during an interview with the media outlet “SPM Buzzke.”

Shakilla admitted that the Nigerian man is a gentleman, which is why she enjoys being around him. She went on to say that she finds Nigerian guys to be more attractive than Kenyan men and that they are passionate.

Shakilla continued, saying that Kenyan guys are unkind, look similar, and aren’t strong in bed. The socialite also criticized her guys for being overly frugal with their financial commitments to their wives. She stressed that Nigerian guys lasted in bed longer.

Watch the video below.

Shakila stated,

“I have 19 tattoos in total, 11 are of my ex, I got my first tattoo immediately when my ex-boyfriend died. The most inspiring tattoo I have is of my best friend’s face. I tattoo my ex-boyfriends when they die.”

In a more candid revelation, Shakila admitted to losing track of her sexual partners, asserting that attempting to tally them would be a daunting task for her sanity.

In her words ; “I don’t know my body count, if I start counting, I will honestly run mad, but I don’t remember honestly.”

“If you must do fraud, target bad politicians” – Father Oluoma to Yahoo boys

Catholic priest, Reverend Father Chinenye Oluoma has castigated young Nigerians who commit “Yahoo Yahoo” fraud on the internet.

According to Oluoma, who spoke during a sermon, if they continue down that route in the way they are approaching it, things will not turn out well.

The priest bemoaned how Yahoo guys con innocent people out of their hard-earned money in a video that was put on his official Facebook page on Tuesday morning, saying that it would have been better if they had targeted corrupt politicians instead.

He said;

“When you pursue wealth at the expense of fellow humans, you are trashing people to get a treasure that will be a trash in your life.

I don’t understand when people who steal and dupe others get angry when ministers condemn it. Yahoo means a set of people who will just lock themselves in a house, look for somebody who is vulnerable using their computers and dupe the person everything he laboured for.

Then the person becomes so broke after 30 to 40 years of labouring. You steal everything the person has and the person is dying of depression, High Blood Pressure and heart attack and you are comfortable.

That some musicians even sing to endorse that kind of lifestyle means to you that it is normal? If Yahoo means tricking people, defrauding them of their hard-earned money, leaving them penniless and they die of heart attack, how do you want to end well? Some people even consider it as a legitimate hustle.

How can stealing be a legitimate hustle? If you are that kind of person, you can’t end well. If you are into such a thing, please don’t marry because if you marry and you give birth, your children will suffer the consequences.

At least if you want to be a Yahoo, target politicians who are stealing money. But you won’t target such people, it is people who worked honestly. At least, target the bad politicians so that on the last day you and God may have conversations on it.”
