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.

“I totally feel robbed and I regret voting for Laycon” – Uriel Oputa breaks silence

Evicted BBNaija All Stars housemate, Uriel has opened up about how she feels about the jury twist introduced into the game.

Recall that Uriel Oputa was evicted from the show over the weekend when Seyi was once again saved by the jury, Teddy A., Laycon, and Diane.

Following her eviction from the house on Sunday, Uriel spoke to Lajos FM during her media rounds and admitted that she felt robbed because she wasn’t the housemate who received the lowest number of votes but still had to leave the show.

She said that the jury’s decision caused her to be eliminated even though she contributed to the show’s content and deserved to remain.

She continued by saying that she regretted voting for and supporting Laycon since he did not show her the same courtesy when he had the chance.

She said;

“I’m a very vocal person; I feel robbed; I feel that it wasn’t my time, and I was done dirty. I love everything that Big Brother stands for, but that particular section of having a jury is what caused me to feel that it was not right, that it was not fair. I gave content and life to the show, and I felt like it was very unfair.

And I’ll be honest with you; I’m going to this with no shame. I really regret voting for Laycon, and I feel like it was very bad on his part because I heavily campaigned for him, and I felt very bad when I pointed out certain things, but it is what it is. You have to make lemonade from lemons, but I totally feel wronged, and I feel like I shouldn’t be out there; I should be in there.

“I knew something was up” – Bobrisky’s mother surfaces as she speaks about husband

Following her husband’s passing, a video of the Mother of Nigerian crossdresser, Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky’s, has been shared online.

The grieving widow discussed her husband’s passing and the peculiar circumstances surrounding it in the video.

She spoke of him as a devoted spouse and related how he woke her up the morning of his passing and fervently prayed for her and the whole family.

She was taken aback by his conduct and sensed something wasn’t right. Sadly, he was already dead when she asked her older son to check on him.

She also thanked all her children for taking care of her husband while he was alive, from the first child to the last, Idris Bobrisky.

In her words:

“He was a good man and a loving husband. Last week, we both went for the burial of his brother’s wife. He woke me up on the morning of 14th and said tomorrow is your birthday.

“He started praying heavily for me and mentioned all his family and started praying. I was concerned and I knew something was up. I called our first born to check on him and when he checked, he had died.”

“My goal is to not have baby mamas” – Chike

Popular Nigerian singer and songwriter, Chike, has revealed that his goal is to not have a baby mama.

Speaking in an interview with The Cable Lifestyle, when asked about the practice of celebrities having babies outside marriage, he stated that even though he avoided it, he would accept it if it happened.

The “Nakupenda” hitmaker claims that aside from not wanting to have a baby mama, he has no problem with musicians having several relationships with men.

Chike said;

“I do not have anything against it; it was not an intentional thing for most people. So yes, you never know. You know when a man and a woman enter a room and turn off the light, you know what will happen. I would say it happens; I mean, if you are having sxx, there is a chance that there will be a product of that sexual relationship, right?

A couple of years ago, it used to be considered taboo, but it does not look like one now. I really do not have any opinion on that. The goal is for that not to happen, but if it happens, we will take it as it is.”

Speaking on how he avoided scandals, the singer said;

“I do not know, but what I always tell people is that anything can be scandalous… it just depends on the people involved and how hotheaded they are. So, maybe I have just been lucky to find a middle ground where nobody blows things out of proportion.”

Speaking on his love life, he stated; “My relationship is private, and I do not think it should be public information.”

Pregnant woman with heart condition reportedly d!es after refusing CS because her husband “had an agreement with God that she will deliver normally”

Pregnant woman with heart condition

A Ghanaian doctor has narrated how a pregnant woman who had a heart condition died after refusing an elective Cesarean Section (C/S) over her husband’s “agreement with God”.

Dr. Wilberforce took to Twitter to relay the heartbreaking incident recently. He said the woman was advised to undergo CS because her heart can’t endure the stress of labour and vagina delivery.

Pregnant woman with heart condition

In response to the medical advice, she said she needed to discuss the issue with her husband first and left the hospital.

When she returned weeks later, it was already too late as the baby had died in her womb and she subsequently suffered a cardiac arrest, which led to her death.

Following her death, her husband was confronted and he stated that he refused the Caesarian session because he had an agreement with God that his wife will deliver normally.

Read the doctor’s full tweet below,

“Client was offered an ELECTIVE (pre-planned] C/S because she has a heart condition. Her frail heart would simply NOT withstand the distress of labor and vaginal delivery! Her reply: ” I need to tell hubby about all this first”, and she left,’ the doctor narrated.

“Never showed up UNTIL Several WEEKS after. This time, in labour; but the baby’s heart had stopped beating. Baby was dead [IUFD], for days, even. When confronted, husband was like: “I had an AGREEMENT with God that my wife will deliver normally

“Long story short, the lady is in the MORTUARY. Her heart gave up – a cardiac arrest

“So a little advice to anyone who might find themselves in this situation, Decisions pertaining your body must be made by only you and you alone. Always put yourself first before the baby. You can always try again if you lose the baby, but if you lose your life, you’re done.”

“The N2m that was given to senators isn’t a big deal. It is even too small” – Stephanie Coker’s politician husband, Olumide Aderinokun

Olumide Aderinokun, a Nigerian businessman and politician, has stated that the N2m ‘enjoyment allowance’ paid to senators is not a big deal.

Aderinokun, who is married to media personality and actress Stephanie Coker, took to Twitter to state this on Tuesday, August 15, adding that the amount is too small for a senator.

He tweeted,

“The 2m that was given to senators isn’t a big deal. It is even too small for a senator. What can a family man do with 2m Naira($2k). Why are we making it a big deal. But they shouldn’t have made it public. Making it public is a bit insensitive to plight of Nigerians.”

This comes after the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, told members of the upper legislative chamber of the National Assembly that a token had been sent to them to enjoy their holiday.

The announcement was caught on camera and sparked outrage among Nigerians, with many describing it as insensitive at a time when the masses are experiencing economic hardship.

“You have been brainwashed. The bible is just a claim, not fact” – Man tackles Christian woman in trending video

Man tackles

A Nigerian man has been captured in a video trending on social media confronting a Christian woman on her way to church last Sunday.

In the viral clip, the man was heard telling the woman that she has been brainwashed by her religious leaders because the bible “is just a claim and not fact”.

He also argued that ‘God’ was invented by man to control others, and proceeded to disprove events in the bible, stating that they are false.

When the woman asked how he came into the world, the man stated that he was not “created” as claimed in the bible, but was born by his parents who also had parents.

However, when the woman couldn’t stand the conversation anymore, she left and continued on her journey to church but the man still continued bashing Christians.

He stated that poverty is the primary reason why Nigerians are Christians, as they have succeeded in selling the idea that there is a better place than Earth.

According to him, black people should visit European countries, Dubai, Malaysia, and Indonesia, to see how developed they are and they would ditch their religious mentality.

He went on to say that Japan is one of the places where people live the longest, yet they are not Christians.

He added that some pastors deceive Christians into believing God will give them a job and make them rich, whereas the only thing that can make one rich is a profitable idea, product or service.

Speaking further, he said the Government has failed the people in Nigeria so “they push their responsibility to the church”. He, then, urged people to be logical and see through the religious façade.
