However, she was taken by surprise when she found out that her friend had taken his phone number without her knowledge and started dating him.

According to her, the duo are still together till date and even have a child together.

Her words,

“I have been betrayed before. I used to have a best friend, and we were very close. As a matter of fact, people used to refer to us as twins, because we even looked alike. At the time, I had a boyfriend, but she always discouraged me and told me that he was not good looking, because he had a bad leg and used to limp a little bit. She would always make jokes about his leg. At some point, I took her with me to visit him.

Somehow, they exchanged numbers and I did not find out. I was dating him and did not even realise that my best friend was also dating him. Till this day, they are still together. They actually have a son together, and I wish them well. But, at the same time, I felt betrayed. That really affected the way I trust people.”

“Men will always break your heart” – Tiwa Savage advises ladies on being independent (Video)

Award-winning Nigerian music star, Tiwa Savage, has advised women on the importance of maintaining their independence and having their own money.

The famous artiste recently underlined the value of a woman’s independence at a concert. Tiwa remarked that since she has her own resources, all she needs is a partner who can match her dynamism.

She claimed that men will still break women’s hearts in the end, so it is preferable to cry in luxury rather than sob bitterly.

Tiwa Savage made this comment while performing. She said;

“I am not encouraging runs, I am not saying you should go after a man for his money but I’m saying it’s sweet when you also spend your money. Because I have my own money as you can see.

So all I am saying is you need to match my energy because they will still break your heart anyway. So it’s better for you to cry with your Christian Dior-Dior-Dior, your Birkin bag, and your private jet to Dubai”.

84-year-old man allegedly hacks his 75-year-old wife to dǝath for denying him sxx in Edo state

84-year-old man allegedly

An Octogenarian man, Gabriel Ahuwa, has been arrested for allegedly hacking his 75-year-old wife to death with a machete for refusing to sleep with him.

The 84-year-old man was one of the 198 suspects paraded on Wednesday, August 16, by the spokesperson of the Edo state police command, SP Chidi Nwabuzor, for armed robbery, kidnapping, unlawful possession of firearms, murder, cultism, among other crimes.

The spokesperson revealed that the suspect had been having conflicts with his wife due to her refusal to have sex with him. He noted that the suspect shows no remorse and believes that killing his wife is the best solution to his problem.

84-year-old man allegedly

Speaking with newsmen, Gabriel claimed that his wife had refused to get intimate with him for a long time but had been sleeping with other men.

“My wife is not listening to me, anytime I ask her to come and sleep with me, she always declines. We have seven children together, five boys and two girls,”
he said.

He said he reported the issue to his children and one of their daughters came to talk to his wife, but she remained resolute in her decision not to sleep with him.

“I reported the matter to my family and her family too but she failed to listen to them and continued her old ways and I was hearing information that pastors were sleeping with her.

“Each time I demanded for sex, either she would tell me she was sick, or she had an ulcer yet I was hearing rumours that she was sleeping with other men and I don’t have money to carry prostitutes,”

He said his wife also poisoned the minds of his children and they stopped sending him money and picking his calls.

“So on Saturday last week in the afternoon in the house, I pick up a cutlass and macheted her all over her body. I did it in anger because she is not obeying me, and I want people to know of it,”

He, however, said he regrets murdering his wife.

One of his sons, who wished to remain anonymous, refuted the accusation of abandoning their father. He also revealed that they sent him money just five days before the incident.

“How I handled a producer that tried to exploit me for movie role” – Actress, Doris Ifeka

Nollywood actress, Doris Ifeka, has explained how she managed to avoid being taken advantage of by a director in the early stage of her acting career.

The screen diva claimed that a filmmaker, whose name she opted not to reveal, expressed interest in collaborating but insisted on being paid first before offering her the part.

Ifeka said she informed him straight out that she didn’t have any money at the moment, and despite his increased pressure, she stuck to her guns, emphasizing that she was okay if he didn’t choose her for the role.

The actress revealed hat the producer eventually changed his mind as a result of her persistence, and he subsequently phoned her to offer her the part without requesting payment.

She argued in an interview that intimacy between actors and directors is not forbidden, but it should be mutual, not forced.

In her words;

“As an actress, it is almost certain that one would experience sexual harassment, because some producers would want to sleep with one before giving one any jobs. So, yes, I have experienced it.

I don’t have a problem with a producer liking an actress. If the feeling is mutual, no problem. What I have an issue with is a producer saying he must sleep with an actress before working with her.

I recall being in such a situation but I won’t mention the name of the person involved. I was still coming up in the industry then. A particular producer wanted us to work together, and he told me to pay him in exchange for a role.

The money the person was demanding for was not much, but I told him I did not have the money at that time. I also told him that if he did not want to work with me until I paid him, I was fine with that. I insisted, and he eventually called me back to play the role, without paying.”

Almost everyone knows that Debbie Shokoya is pregnant and expecting and with all glory to God, I lost my child at 8 months.

That’s to tell you that I choose to speak on what I want to speak about. If I don’t want to speak about it, I wouldn’t talk about it.

Debbie Shokoya tearfully

Be careful what you will say cause words are sensitive. I am a mother, I carried my child for 8 months. I sacrificed a lot for my child, I know what I went through. How I traveled with the joy of coming back with my child, but God understands right?

It’s not easy, I carried my child for 8 months, bonded with my child but lost my child”.

BBNaija All Stars: “The root of our problem is man, Tobi that is already married” – Alex speaks on beef with CeeC

Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate, Alex Asogwa, better known as Alex Unusual, has confirmed the source of her issues with her co-star, CeeC.

It’s no secret that the duo have been at loggerheads since their appearance on the third edition of the show in 2018, and despite five years having passed since they graced our screen before appearing in the All Stars edition, they are still arch-rivals.

During a conversation with her fellow housemate NeoEnergy on Wednesday, August 17, Alex stated that she felt unsafe in the house because people she was friends with were also friends with CeeC.

According to her, this did not make her feel free with housemates because she feared that her friends would report everything they discussed to CeeC.

When Neo queried how their issue came to be, she confessed that it all stemmed from their time on the show in 2018 and their friendship with former housemate Tobi, who has since married.

“There’s no root; it’s just man. Tobi, somebody that is already married and has a child is the person that you’re fighting me for. How?”She said in part.

“My people don’t believe I’m on the same level as American artistes” – Burna Boy

Nigerian superstar singer, Burna Boy has lamented not receiving enough respect from Nigerians.

He claimed that because of the way he sounds, Nigerians don’t think he is on the same level as American music icons.

Burna made this claim in a Los Angeles Times interview, in reference to the fact that fellow citizens frequently consider emerging American rappers to be superior to him.

The musician claimed that his next album, “I Told Them…” is a casual response to those who have tried to undermine him throughout his career, both in the past and present.

The self-acclaimed “African Giant” stated that whereas American music formerly dominated the playlists of Nigerian media outlets, this has changed as a result of the rise of afrobeats.

Burna Boy said;

“To this day, there’s many Nigerians who can tell you an American rapper who just started their career, and they’ll say they’re bigger than Burna Boy. They don’t understand it. They’ll say, ‘There’s no way someone who talks like me, can even be on the same level as an American artist.”

“I have never said ‘I love you’ to a woman” – Chike

Popular Nigerian singer and songwriter, Chike has shared his viewpoint on declaring his love for a woman.

Chike spoke about how he has successfully avoided issues since breaking into the music industry five years ago in an interview with The Cable.

The gifted vocalist credited his ability to find a middle ground and handle problems pertaining to his career for his spotless track record.

Chike underlined that anything has the potential to become controversial, but that how problems are resolved ultimately depends on the people involved.

Chike clarified his claim that he doesn’t proclaim love to women during the conversation.

He stressed that he considers himself more of an action-oriented person when it comes to expressing love and that he feels that deeds speak louder than words.

The singer conveyed his conviction that a man’s fundamental duty is to provide, since deeds that show love carry more weight than merely words do.

In his words;

“I have never said “I love you “. I guess for me that’s just too vulnerable. I get that feeling that it I say it, my bolz would shrink and maybe disappear. Happy I get to sing it though 😌.

I think that was misconstrued, but there are other languages for love: there is provision, there is presence, and I strive to score as high as 100 percent.

A man’s primary responsibility to any significant other is to provide. Saying I love you without actual monetary presence or provision, I think it can be a prob-lem. Ah, you know they say when there is money, love is sweeter.”

“I sold some of my properties to produce Jagun Jagun” – Femi Adebayo (Video)

Popular Yoruba actor, Femi Adebayo has spoken up about the additional effort he put into making his most recent film, Jagun Jagun.

He revealed in an interview that he sold his properties to get the money for the film since he didn’t want to ask for loans from businesses or people.

He acknowledged that Jagun Jagun is a multi-billion-naira enterprise, but he declined to say how much money he specifically invested in supporting it.

He admitted that his biggest nightmare is defeating Jagun Jagun in his upcoming endeavor.

When he completed King of Thieves, he was confident that he would surpass it with his subsequent endeavor, but this optimism has since faded.

In his words;

“Jagun Jagun is a multi-billion naira project and I can’t say the exact amount I spent on it on shooting.

I used the proceeds of Agbeshinkole to produce Jagun Jagun. I was working on not getting funded by finance houses and individuals. At a point, I was out of finance and because I had faith that the project would work, I sold my properties.

My worst nightmare is that I have to be at Jagun Jagun with my next production.”

Femi also spoke on how he built the warrior school from scratch. He said;

“We built from scratch the warrior school. We were forced with the challenge of purchasing that land, we wanted to own the land. And at a point, we had an agreement and paid for it, but the children of the owner of the land changed their minds about the land sale.

We have built the school halfway when the children who came from Lagos told us to stop. They were ready to destroy all that we built and that held us up for almost a week, going to the Police station and Obas appealing to them and we were told to only shoot there and not buy it.”

Speaking about his inspiration, he said;

“What inspired the story of Jagun Jagun is the youth and environment of Nigeria. I wanted to pass across a social message to the youths and wanted to do it culturally.”

Ryan Taylor allegedly returns to ex after calling off engagement with DJ Cuppy

Ryan Taylor, the estranged fiancé of renowned disc jockey and billionaire heiress, DJ Cuppy, has set tongues wagging after sharing a picture implying that DJ Cuppy, whom he proposed to last year, is no longer in his life.

The 27-year-old posted several pictures of himself in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with an unknown woman amid rumors that he and Cuppy were no longer together.

This comes after the British Boxer unfollowed Cuppy and shared a cryptic message about letting go of everything that would impede his spiritual progress, leading to rumors that he had broken up his relationship with Cuppy.

Online detectives were able to find evidence that Ryan was with his ex-girlfriend, Fiona Michelle, in a now-deleted Instagram picture where he was seen in a car with a woman whose face was hidden.

The YouTube star hinted at being a better player as he stated that he does it better. He also expressed gratitude to God for his blessings.

“You do it good. But I do it better. Thank God for everything,” he wrote.

“Life happens” – Di’ja opens up on rumoured exit from Don Jazzy’s Mavin Records

Nigerian singer and former Mavin Records signee, Hadiza Blell, popularly known as Di’ja, has addressed rumors that she left Mavin Records due to some unknown disagreements.

Di’Ja joined Mavins Records in February 2014, debuting with her single “Yaro.” Throughout her time with the label, she collaborated with fellow Mavins artists on popular tracks such as “Dorobucci,” “Adaobi,” “Looku Looku,” and “Arise.”

The 39-year-old singer made it clear that she didn’t leave Mavin Records and used the opportunity to show her support for fellow singer, Tems.

Di’ja who celebrated her birthday a few days ago, took to the microblogging platform, Twitter, to showcase the thoughtful gifts she received, including a cake from Mavin Records.

She wrote;

“Thank you to my family, friends, and family at Mavin for my cakes. I must gain weight this year.”

This caused a Twitter user to speculate that Di’ja might have outperformed Tems in terms of success and ask why she left Don Jazzy.

He wrote;

“Why did you leave Don Jazzy? You would have been bigger than Tems now.”

Reacting to this, Di’Ja stated that she did not leave and was grateful for love and happenings.

She wrote;

“I never left. Kindly know this. Life happens, and we are grateful for all the love and happenings. God bless Tems, and I need her to get bigger.”

Although many would like to see a partnership with Mavin Records, Di’Ja’s declaration puts an end to suspicions and emphasizes her continuous association with them.

Illegal adoption: Anambra Govt seals an orphanage home as founder and employees flee

The Commissioner for Women and Social Welfare in Anambra State, Hon. Ify Obinabo, has taken decisive action by sealing off the Arrow of God Community Children’s Home in Onitsha due to allegations of engaging in illegal adoption and child sales.

The closure occurred on August 16, 2023, following the circulation of an investigative report by journalist Fisayo Soyombo on social media and local television outlets. This report implicated the state’s Ministry of Women and Social Welfare in an illegal adoption case, involving a baby girl from one of the registered homes in the state.

In response, Hon. Obinabo invited the home’s founder, Rev. D. C Ogo, to her office in Awka, but the invitation was not honored. Consequently, the Women Affairs commissioner collaborated with security operatives to take action against the orphanage, located at 33 Nkwelle, sealing it off.


Hon. Obinabo clarified that the ministry was unaware of any adoption carried out through Arrow of God Orphanage, emphasizing that the adoption process must involve her signature, the Head of Child Division, and the Permanent Secretary of the ministry.

She noted that all applications for court orders related to adoption or child care go through the designated Children, Sexual, and Gender-Based Violence Magistrate Court in Awka, as opposed to the Nnewi court order presented in the investigative report. The priority, she emphasized, is safeguarding the best interests of the child.

Warning other children’s home operators involved in illegal adoption, the Commissioner stressed that the state government intends to crack down on operators who deviate from standardized operational practices and processes. She cautioned prospective adoptive parents to be cautious, as individuals posing as ministry consultants are misleading unsuspecting individuals seeking to facilitate adoption.

Hon. Obinabo urged the public to report any suspicious activities within orphanages to the ministry. She assured that efforts will be made to bring Rev. DC Ogo to justice in due course.

As a result of the intervention, 20 children, including a newborn, were rescued from the orphanage. The children, aged 1 to 17 years, comprise 10 boys, 9 girls, and the newborn. They are now under the care of the state government, and steps are being taken to locate and reunite them with their respective families. The founder and her staff remain at large.

Woman refuses to release her grandchild to mother who abandoned him seven years ago and now seeking custody (video)

Woman refuses

An elderly woman has refused to release her grandchild to the mother who abandoned him seven years ago and has now returned to seek custody.

The incident took place in a community in Abeokuta, Ogun state. It was gathered that the boy is the child of the woman’s deceased son.

Speaking in a video making rounds online, the woman revealed that seven years ago, her son’s wife told her she wanted to buy something and it was the last time she saw her, leaving her baby behind.

 Woman refuses

After seven years of singlehandedly raising the boy, his biological mother has just returned and wants to take him away.

The grandmother stated that she would not release the boy because he is the only family she has left, as she has lost her son and husband to the cold hands of death.

She also revealed that her grandson’s mother has remarried and has only come to claim her child because she was unable to conceive for her new husband.

 Woman refuses

Giving her own account, the biological mother stated that she disappeared because she needed to hustle and didn’t want to die of hunger in her mother-in-law’s house.

She claimed she saw an opportunity to travel abroad in search of a better life, and took it. However, she is now married and wants to take custody of her son.

She also asked the grandmother to reveal the exact amount she has spent on the child’s care and education so that she could settle her and take her child, but the grandmother refused.

Woman apprehended after stealing her friend’s one-month-old baby

A 28-year-old woman, Adaeze Lawrence, has been  detained by the Abia State Police Command for snatching her friend’s one-month-and-two-day-old newborn boy.

According to reports, Onyinyechi Owujie, the mother of the child, trusted Lawrence and grew to like her before committing the crime.

The suspect, a hair stylist, was friends with Owujie’s older sister at school and used that connection to contact Owujie. She allegedly asked that they celebrate the baby’s birth and then fled with the child while they were doing so.

The crime was reported to the police, who then detained her in her hiding place, according to a statement from the state police’s public relations officer, ASP Chioma Chinaka.

According to the spokesperson, credible intelligence led to the suspect’s arrest on Monday, August 14, 2023.

The suspect first denied kidnapping the infant, insisting that he was hers, but after a medical examination confirmed that she was not the boy’s real mother, she confessed to the crime.

The statement read;

“On August 14, 2023, around 4pm, the Abia State Police Special Weapons and Tactics Team, Aba, received credible information and effectively apprehended one Adaeze Lawrence of Amaogbonna Road, off Osisikakwu Street in Aba.

She was found in possession of a baby boy who is one month and two days old. During interrogation, the accused confessed to abducting the child from Onyinyechi Owujie’s residence situated at 5, Cricke Road, off Nigeria Brewery, Aba.

Investigation revealed that the suspect and the baby’s mother’s elder sister were schoolmates. The suspect took advantage of this relationship to gain the baby’s mother’s trust.

The suspect, under the pretence of visiting her friend, requested to celebrate the new baby’s birth. On their celebration outing, she absconded with the baby.

Upon the suspect’s arrest, Adaeze Lawrence denied the crime, but medical examinations from the police clinic disproved her claims, leading to her confession. The child’s biological mother identified the baby, confirming the abduction on August 6, 2023.”

Chinaka recommended that the public be watchful of their children and be aware of their locations, especially while in a public place, and said that an investigation into the issue was still underway.
