“I’m tired of the lies. I was a good husband to my ex-wife” – Dancer Korra Obidi’s ex-husband, Justin Dean, finally shares his side of story (Video)

US-based Nigerian singer and dancer, Korra Obidi’s ex-husband, Justin Dean, has shared new details of their estranged relationship while clearing misconceptions about him.

During a recent live session, Justin Dean stated that he’s finally coming out to share his own side of the story because he’s tired of the lies.

According to Dean, Korra has made several false accusations against him in the past for her own financial gains. He claimed she sold different lies about him over the past two years to boost her earnings on Facebook.

Contrary to Korra’s allegations, Dean maintained that he was a devoted husband who dedicated his life to her happiness and the growth of her career.

Recounting how they met, Dean revealed that they met at a club in China, and their love blossomed within weeks.

He shared that during that time, Korra faced financial challenges, and her job hardly allowed her to pursue her passion for singing and dancing. It was then that he advised her to explore content creation to fully unleash her talents.

He later decided to relocate to Los Angeles solely because of Korra, as the city is renowned for its thriving entertainment industry.

He stressed that he provided unwavering moral support to Korra, particularly during times when she felt disheartened by the initial low engagement on her content creations.

He claimed he actively participated in her content creation journey, assisting with filming, editing, and brainstorming ideas to make her content more appealing to online audiences.

However, he claimed that despite his supportive efforts, she changed completely after she achieved success, which ultimately led to the crash of their marriage.

Sharing the video on his Facebook page, he wrote, “Time to defend myself and tell my side of story, I’m tired of the lies”.

“I have been in love with someone that didn’t love me back” – Actress, Yvonne Jegede laments

Popular Nollywood actress, Yvonne Jegede, has taken to social media to share her experiences with love.

In a post on her official Instagram page on Thursday, July 20, the thespian revealed that she has been in love with someone who didn’t love her back

She also admitted that she has been in a situation where someone loved her deeply, but she didn’t feel the same way for them.

Speaking further, she wondered which is worse between having her heart broken or breaking someone else’s heart.

Her words,

“I have been loved by someone that I didn’t love back and I have been in love with someone that didn’t love me back. And I don’t know which is worse: to be broken or to break another”.

In other news, Yvonne Jegede, has called out her ex-husband, Kunle Fawole, otherwise known as Abounce, for neglecting their son, Xavier, since his birth.

The actress, who married her now-ex-husband, Abounce, in February 2017 and welcomed a son with him in November 2018, accused him of being a deadbeat dad who has never made an effort to see his child or speak to him.

Speaking in a recent interview with actress, Mercy Johnson-Okojie, Yvonne said Kunle only came around to acknowledge their son when she threatened that she would remove his surname from Xavier’s name if he didn’t show up.

She said she had to insist that their son bear her and his father’s surnames, Jegede-Fawole, because she was the one who suffered so much and cleared her account to go to America to birth him.

“Since that they, he has never come to the house, he has never called. His son turned one, no call, no text message to say Happy birthday”, Yvonne said

Yvonne said recently Xavier started asking for his father, so she reached out to Kunle’s older brother to inform him that Xavier was asking for his father and that he should help get Kunle to please come around to see his son, but the response she got was not encouraging.

Yvonne Jegede, who revealed that she and her ex-husband, Kunle, were best friends before they tied the knot, said what led to the crash of their marriage was not really worth it.

However, if she had stayed in the marriage just because of the fear of what people would say, she would have been unhappy.

“Mummy why?” – 30-year-old man devastated after finding out his father is not his biological parent

A 30-year-old man has taken to social media to lament bitterly after uncovering his mother’s paternity fraud.

The young man, identified on Twitter with the handle @EnergyEqual, revealed that he just discovered the man he believed to be his father all this while is not his biological parent.

Although he didn’t reveal details of how he found out, he noted that the situation has left him depressed, and he is unsure how to cope with having her as his mother.

“This is depressing for me. God, please help me. Finding out daddy is not my father after 30 years, God! Mummy why? How do I continue this life having you as a mother?” he wrote on Twitter.

See his post below,

Meanwhile, a Nigerian Twitter user, simply identified as Bamidele, has asserted that it is a man’s responsibility to care for a child, even if he finds out that the child is not his biological offspring.

She expressed this opinion via her Twitter handle while advocating for husbands to overlook cases of paternity fraud committed by their wives.

Bamidele argued that if a man conducts a DNA test on his child and the results show that the baby belongs to someone else, as long as he is in a relationship with the woman, he should still take custody of the child.

According to her, women endure a lot during childbirth, and it is only right for men to treat them better regardless of the situation.

She wrote, “Men, if you conduct a DNA test on your baby and find out the child is not biologically yours, as long as you are still with the woman, it is your responsibility to take custody of the baby. It doesn’t change anything. Women go through a lot in childbirth, and women deserve better.”

However, at some point, she had to stop singing gospel music because the earnings were insufficient to cover studio sessions and promotions.

“I actually used to go to a lot of churches to perform. They will pay me like N5k, N10k. Do you know the highest amount of money I actually collected when I was doing gospel [music]? N70,000. And I felt like I had arrived. I still paid a 10 per cent tithe from the money.” She said.

In other news, Simi has revealed that she has never experienced heartbreak in a relationship.

The mother of one made this disclosure during a recent interview with reality star turned on-air personality, Tacha, on Cool FM in Lagos.

Student allegedly beaten by course mates for covering booklet in exam hall (Video)

A male student has allegedly been viciously attacked by his classmates after he refused to allow cheating during an exam.

The event was captured in a video, which has now gone viral on the internet.

According to eyewitness testimony and the viral video, the victim, whose identity has not been revealed, was taking his exam when his classmates sitting nearby attempted to copy from his answer booklet.

Refusing to sacrifice his integrity, the brave student covered his answer booklet, preventing anyone from stealing his hard work.

The scenario swiftly deteriorated when a number of his irate classmates grew confrontational and demanded that he allow them to duplicate his answers. They resorted to violence as he continued to resist, subjecting him to a brutal physical attack.

The victim can be seen in the disturbing video nursing significant head injuries, reportedly caused by the assailants smashing bottles on his head outside the exam hall.

The incident caused the boy to bleed excessively, with several of his classmates attempting to stop the bleeding while filming the terrible scene.

According to eyewitnesses, the assailants expressed their dissatisfaction throughout the assault, blaming the victim of failing to perform the “reasonable thing” required of him, which, in their opinion, was helping their academic dishonesty.

In his words;

“Before I got the attention, I strived till I graduated from the university. I strived for like [another] two years before people like accept me.

So there’s this performance. I wanted to perform Fela, so I was on pants and saxophone. I packed like six girls on stage. I asked them to be half-naked. You know, one thing about Nigerians is that once people are naked, they just forget about all the thing that is happening and just focus. But these people [at the concert] stubborn o.

“Why most reality TV show winners don’t thrive in the music industry” – Singer, Iyanya

Popular singer, Iyanya, has shared his thoughts on why most reality TV show winners don’t thrive after winning the competition.

According to Iyanya, the majority of reality TV show winners don’t harbor a genuine desire to achieve fame or recognition.
