Faith also slammed her husband for mocking and laughing at Davido as if he were better than him. Interestingly, Bred replied by defending himself, stating that, unlike Davido, he does not have a child outside of marriage.

“Divorce rate is rising because young couples can’t endure hardship” – Funmi Aragbaye

Veteran gospel musician, Funmi Aragbaye has opined that young couples are more likely to be divorced because they are unable to withstand challenges in marriage.

The singer said this in an interview with The Punch, pointing out that happiness in marriage doesn’t have everything to do with how wealthy one’s spouse is.

According to her, young people should always seek divine direction before getting married because not all families can be married into.

In her words;

“The major cause of divorce among young couples is the fact that they cannot endure hardship with anybody. And, they prefer getting married to rich people. However, happiness in marriage is not dependent on how rich one’s spouse is. Young people should always seek divine direction from God before they get married.

They should find out about the families of their would-be spouses, and not just focus on how rich they are. There are some families with peculiar ancestry curses that one should avoid. Young people should also learn to endure, be patient and rugged, and be understanding.”

She also gave advice to aspiring gospel musicians, urging them not to act improperly or post about private matters on social media. She said;

“Bringing issues involving members of the association on social media for reconciliation is not good for the reputation of GOMAN. I advise young gospel musicians to amicably resolve differences among themselves without bringing them on social media.

It is apparent that some gospel musicians cannot manage stardom, and some cannot even comport themselves on stage. They should work on those areas for the overall interest of the association. The elders of the association are looking at ways of ensuring the sustenance of harmony and decorum among members.”

In his words;

I’m really grateful for the love you all have showered me with. I truly am. It kept me going for real. I’ve been very emotional in my quiet time.”

Nigeria doing better than other African countries – CBN

Nigeria’s APEX Bank, CBN, has said that Nigeria is still doing better than most African nations despite the high inflation witnessed across the country.

Speaking at the 2023 Zenith Bank International Trade Seminar in Lagos on Tuesday, August 8, Acting Governor of the CBN, Folashodun Shonubi, highlighted the nation’s standing despite the economic challenges.

Represented by Kingsley Obiorah, the Deputy Governor of Economic Policy at the CBN, Shonubi disclosed that Nigeria’s inflation rate has reached 22.8%, while the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected a growth moderation of 3.2% for the year 2023. Shonubi addressed the audience by providing a comparative context, stating that neighboring countries such as Ghana, Ethiopia, and Egypt grapple with even higher inflation rates of 42.5%, 31%, and 36% respectively.

Shonubi acknowledged the impact of global factors on the economic landscape. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, both significant commodity exporters, has led to global food price escalation. Moreover, a shift from goods to services, coupled with disruptions in China’s supply chain due to the transition towards renewable energy, has exerted additional pressure on worldwide economies.

China’s investment surge in property services has led to oversupply issues in its real estate market, contributing to supply chain disruptions. Shonubi detailed how this trend, alongside Nigeria’s historical non-oil exports to GDP ratio, signals the imperative for accelerated growth. He underlined that smaller nations like the Netherlands and Ireland, despite their limited landmass, demonstrate remarkable success in non-oil exports, emphasizing the need for Nigeria to amplify its export endeavors.

In conclusion, Shonubi’s discourse at the seminar underscored Nigeria’s comparatively favorable position amidst regional economic challenges, while also urging the nation to bolster its export sector as a means to achieve sustained growth and prosperity.

Billionaire Tech Guru, Bryan Johnson takes 111 pills everyday, in a bid to live forever

Bryan Johnson, a 45-year-old billionaire tech entrepreneur hailing from California, has unveiled his intricate daily regimen aimed at maximizing his lifespan in his unwavering quest for immortality.

Bryan, who made his fortune from the sale of his company Braintree Venmo to PayPal for a staggering $800 million nearly a decade ago, engaged in a candid conversation with Steven Bartlett on the Diary of a CEO Podcast.

In his unwavering pursuit of elongating existence, Bryan firmly believes that adhering to a fixed sleep schedule, refraining from eating past 11am, and meticulously consuming 111 pills each day hold the elusive keys to perpetual youth. Notably, the mogul’s fervent aspiration for the 21st century is disarmingly simple yet profound: to elude the grasp of mortality. He spares no effort in his endeavor, even delving into unconventional practices such as infusing his system with plasma extracted from his 17-year-old offspring.

Expressing his defiance against what he terms the “culture of death,” Bryan passionately elaborated on his stance during the podcast. He boldly declared, “In this era, the paramount objective is to evade the clutches of death.

Two succinct words encapsulate this 21st-century battle cry: ‘survive’ and ‘endure’.”

During the discourse, Bryan also shed light on his transformative journey. He recounted how his early adherence to Mormonism, coupled with a battle against depression and contemplation of suicide, ultimately catalyzed his current success. Despite his accomplishments, Bryan’s introspection leads him to ponder whether prior negligence towards self-care may have inflicted unseen harm.

Optimistic and resolute, Bryan steadfastly affirms the conceivable realization of “eternal life.” His decision-making process is distinctively guided by algorithms, stripping his mind of the privilege of decision-making authority.

The significance of sleep in Bryan’s blueprint for longevity cannot be overstated. He expounds on the pivotal role it plays in his regimen, a sentiment supported by six consecutive months of impeccable sleep quality, culminating in a perfect 100% score.

In conclusion, Bryan Johnson’s audacious pursuit of Living forever, marked by calculated routines and innovative measures, paints a portrait of a modern-day trailblazer against the boundaries of human mortality.

Family source reveals how late Pastor Taiwo Odukoya was affected by death of his two wives and twin sister

Pastor Taiwo Odukoya affected

New details have surfaced regarding the events leading to the demise of Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, the founder of Fountain of Life Church in Lagos, who passed away in the United States on August 7.

According to The Nation, the esteemed clergyman had been grappling with health challenges primarily stemming from dealing with personal tragedies.

Pastor Taiwo Odukoya affected

A source with close ties to the family was quoted as saying,

“He really didn’t get over the losses he suffered. He tried to be strong but there is a limit to what a man can take.”

Pastor Taiwo, as he was fondly called, tragically lost his beloved first wife, Pastor Bimbo, in the devastating Sosoliso plane crash back in 2005. She was just 45 years old.

Pastor Taiwo Odukoya affected

The source mentioned that Pastor Taiwo and his wife, who he met during their time as undergraduates at the University of Ibadan, shared a deep connection and her untimely passing affected him greatly.

“Pastor was more devastated by what people said after Pastor Bimbo died than what actually happened. Many people said nasty things that saddened his heart. He was touched by the savagery of the comments. Well, he had no choice and decided to move on despite the heartbreak. It took a lot of talking for him to decide to remarry,” the source added.

The clergyman also suffered another heart-wrenching loss on November 9, 2021, when his second wife, Pastor Nomthi, a South African, passed away after battling cancer.

Pastor Taiwo Odukoya affected

Unfortunately, Pastor Odukoya also lost his twin sister two months after the death of his second wife.

“If Pastor Bimbo’s death was shattering, Pastor Nomthi’s demise was a technical knock-out. It knocked Pastor down and out. He was inconsolable. He was very bothered about what people would say. It left him totally lifeless. There was nothing we could tell him. It took something deep out of him and some of us became afraid for him.” the source said.

Nigerian Twitter commentator, Daniel Regha, has heavily condemned Nigerian comedian, Josh2funny, for his performance on the America’s Got Talent show.

Josh2funny, whose real name is Josh Alfred, has been trending across various social media platforms following his audition on the international show in pursuit of a $1,000,000 prize on Tuesday, August 8.

The comedian, known for his fake audition videos where he ‘speed-reads’ and plays other amusing roles, presented a similar routine on the America’s Got Talent stage.

Daniel Regha heavily criticizes

However, his performance failed to resonate with the judges – Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Sofa Vergara, and Howie Mande – as well as the audience, leading to unanimous rejections.

Undeterred by the rejections, Josh returned on stage two more times wearing different costumes to change his appearance and audition again.

On his last attempt, he managed to win the hearts of the audience and ultimately secured four ‘YES’es from Simon Cowell, who spoke on behalf of the other judges.

Daniel Regha heavily criticizes

The video has generated a significant buzz online, with many applauding Josh for gracing the international stage, while others shared their thoughts on his performance.

One of the critics of Josh’s performance is controversial Twitter personality, Daniel Regha, who lambasted him for wasting the judges’ and audience’s time.

Daniel Regha also rebuked Josh for misusing the opportunity to deliver a genuine, exceptional performance on the show, stating that many would fight for a chance to audition on America’s Got Talent.

He tweeted,

“Nigerians will applaud anything as long as a Nigerian is getting the hype, & it’s beyond shamefu!. Josh misused the America’s Got Talent platform by wasting everyone’s time, which isn’t funny. Thousands audition each year but only a few get selected, so why waste the opportunity?”

“I turned taxi driver in U.S. due to inability to get Hollywood gigs” – Nollywood actor Joseph Benjamin

Popular Nigerian actor, Joseph Benjamin has revealed that after moving to America, he started working as a taxi driver.

He recalled how he was stranded when he traveled from Nigeria to the United States in an effort to break into Hollywood after being offered movie jobs.

Benjamin, who appeared on the most recent edition of Teju Babyface’s comedy podcast, King of Talks, said he was let down by someone and had to turn to the taxi industry to support himself.

The 46-year-old actor said that the guy who took him to America informed him that the investors had backed out, leaving him stranded because he had only purchased a one-way ticket.

He said;

“I got to America on a promise that I had some gigs waiting for me. So I thought I was going to have a soft landing there. I packed up everything from Nigeria, bought a one-way ticket, and came to America.

I was put in a well-furnished house and all of that. Then two days later, the person who I was supposed to book a deal with said to me, ‘Those our financiers have pulled out. They have an issue.’ So, I said, what do I do? He was like, ‘From next month on, you will have to start paying rent in this house.’ The amount of the one-month rent was equivalent to a one-year rent in Nigeria.

I’m like, ‘I’m not earning any money so what do I do?’ I don’t know what to do. So, shot into that life, I had to figure out what to do. I had nowhere to go. Nothing to turn to. My phone was buzzing, like, ‘When are you coming back to Nigeria? We have this gig for you.’ Teju, $1,500 was all I came to America with. How do I buy a ticket to go back to Nigeria?

My life pattern then was so disorganized in the sense that I didn’t have a proper saving culture. With all the money I was making in Nigeria, my life was a m*ss. I sold my cars and gave out like 90 per cent of all my belongings in Nigeria. I was like, I’m going to America to live a good life and all of that stuff. How do I buy a ticket to go back to Nigeria? Lord, what do I do? And God said to me that ‘Welcome to the life that I arranged for you. I needed to break you away from your comfort zone so that I can build you.’

I was like, ‘No, no, no …’ He was like, ‘Yes, welcome to it. So, here you are, no way to earn a living. How do you move forward?’ Then, sometimes I will be in my room crying. I’m like, ‘Lord where do I go from here?’ And for some reason every month I get to pay the rent. I got connected to my church. And then someone gave me a car. I’m like, what do I do with the car? And they said Uber. I was driving for Uber and Lyft to pay my bills.”

Josh2Funny wows audience as he auditions at America’s Got Talent (Video)

Popular Nigerian comedian, Josh2Funny, has carried his comedic performance to an international stage as he auditions at the America’s Got Talent.

The content creator flew over to the US to give an audition for a chance to win $1,000,000, which is the prize money awarded to the winner of AGT.

Josh2Funny gave a three-stage performance; however, he was regrettably rejected from the beginning by the judges, Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Sofa Vergara, and Howie Mande.

His first on-stage appearance was as a quick reader who could get through three books in under a minute. Josh read the books while only murmuring the words, which did not impress the four reviewers.

They sent him off stage after refusing to let him advance to the next round. He didn’t give up though; instead, he did something they never expected: he returned wearing different clothes and going by a different identity.

The ‘fastest rapper in the world’ known as J Hush was Josh2Funny’s second act, and all he did was mutter his lines like he was speed reading. He received a No from Simon, Heidi, and the other two and was sent away.

He came back the third time on the same day as a magician identified as Terrifying Jay. The comedian attempted to do magic using a deck of cards, but Howie gave him a no buzzer before he started.

He then pulled off a mind trick on the presenter, Terry Crews, which impressed Simon Cowell, who on behalf of the other judges handed him a ticket to the next round.

The judges argued that they were unimpressed, so he chose to channel quick rapping, which caused the audience to give him a standing ovation and cheer him loudly.

In other news, a Nigerian man, identified simply as Neo, has stated that a woman must cook for her husband no matter the time, even if it’s midnight.

Neo stated this in response to a Twitter user who asked if it’s appropriate for a man to demand pounded yam and egusi soup after returning home at 1am.

According to Neo, it’s acceptable because marriage is commitment and couples are entitled to make demands that will discomfort each other.

Citing an example, the man asserted that men readily come to their wives’ rescue when their car breaks down on the road regardless of the location and time, so women shouldn’t make excuses not to cook for their husbands.

He tweeted,

“She MUST cook it for him. If the same wife can have her car break down anywhere, she abandons the car there then calls her husband to come pick it up and fix it, and he does exactly that, the man is also entitled to make demands that will discomfort her. Marriage is COMMITMENT,” he wrote.

“You cannot attach conditions when I want my owns needs met. I don’t care if your car breaks down in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere, once you call me, I am rushing to your aid. I don’t care what you are feeling or doing, if I need food by 1am, you are cooking it.”

“So I sat down with my parents and told them, ‘Mom and Dad, I want to pursue music.’ I explained that it felt like my heart was leading me in that direction. My dad suggested that I give the fifth try a chance, and if it didn’t work out, I could pursue music.” He said.
