“And you’re gonna see these cheeks until my ass literally falls off, and I might just wear a bikini in the casket. “I don’t know. That just might be for you, for that one commenter … This is for you bitch …It’s just gonna be like, me in a thong, like, ass-up in the casket,” she added.

She went on to boldly state her stance on her body, clothing choices, and age. She noted that society tends to treat women differently as they age, making them feel invisible.

Gabrielle Union encouraged women to claim their space, embrace their beauty, and love themselves.

“We need to boldly take up space and boldly claim and acknowledge our own beauty in all that we do instead of waiting. Claim you, whether it’s you fall in love with a younger dude… you love you more than anybody else loves you,” she said.

Confusion in court as victim burst into tears, begs on behalf of convicted offender

A Badagry Chief Magistrates’ Court A mild drama unfolded in Badagry court on Wednesday when the complainant, James Bassey, broke down in tears to beg for leniency for Puis Savoir, a dry cleaner who had been given a one-month term for stealing a pressing iron and N20,000.

Following Savior’s admission of guilt and the presentation of the evidence, Chief Magistrate Patrick Adekomaiya found him guilty.

Ikem Uko, the prosecution, stated to the court that the offense was committed on July 6 at around 7:00 p.m. at Yeponnawa Str. Church-Gate, Lagos, by the defendant.

Uko claims that the accused took a pressing iron and N20,000 from the complainant, Mr. Bassey. He said that the offense was against Section 287 of the Lagos Criminal Law from 2015.

The Chief Magistrate ruled that the court would be lenient because this was a first-time offender. As a result, Savior was given a one-month jail term, with seven days spent behind bars and the remaining three weeks spent performing community service at the Morogbo Police Station.

Mr. Bassey sobbed profusely and begged that the offender be pardoned immediately after the sentence was pronounced.

“My Lord, I don’t have a wife or children; it is this convict that always takes care of me. He used to help me do all my domestic work and massage me, but the habit of stealing my things is too much, that is why I reported him when he stole my money and pressing iron. If you sentence him to prison now, nobody will be assisting me, and this could lead to my death,” he said.

Nigerian pastor reacts after his son’s babymama called him out for allegedly being a deadbeat father

Nigerian pastor reacts

A Nigerian pastor, Femi Aribisala, has reacted after his son’s babymama, identified simply as Imoteda, called him out for allegedly being a deadbeat father.

Imoteda had taken to Twitter to express her displeasure in her babydaddy, Femi (Jnr), for allegedly failing to play his fatherly role.

She said this in response to a viral tweet warning single women not to use their babydaddy’s surname on their children’s documents because they will require his approval for everything.

Nigerian pastor reacts

She posted screenshots of her chat with her baby-daddy, in which she begged him to be present in their daughter’s life but he failed to respond.

Just recently on May 8, 2023, she asked for a picture of his passport so their daughter’s visa could be renewed, but he also ignored it.

She wrote,

“PLEASE O! So that you will not be begging one useless deadbeat. Cause money they will not drop, visit the child, they will not visit, respond to WhatsApp they will not respond. But Nigerian immigration will be telling you that you have to bring a useless man’s passport.”

“Anyways, if you know Femi Aribisala please beg him to try and be a father small. And to stop lying that I moved his daughter without his knowledge and I don’t keep him updated. Here I am begging somebody’s father to pretend to be a father. I don beg tire,” she added.

See her tweets and screenshots of her chat with her baby daddy below,

However, Femi (Jnr) failed to react to the allegations and did not say anything for several hours after she called him out. His father, on the other hand, went online to respond to Imoteda in a statement released on Tuesday, July 11.

Read his full statement below,

“I am Dr. Femi Aribisala, the “old man” of Femi Aribisala, and the grandfather of Rayne. I have asked Femi not to respond to all these comments that Tomi Aladekomo, alias “@Imoteda”, has been posting here on Twitter. I, myself, will only respond once.

I have no time to join issues with Tomi Aladekomo (@lmoteda). Those who want to believe Tomi’s (@lmoteda’s) stories are welcome. They should know, however, that Tomi’s posts on social media are not the whole truth.

Rayne is not an abandoned child. Femi has paid virtually all of Rayne’s fees for 15 years. She went to expensive schools. Rayne lived with Tomi but stayed with Femi every other week. We all took Rayne out to lunch every other Sunday. On occasions, I personally took her shopping and bought her lots of different outfits. She stayed primarily with her mother but spent some weekends with her father.

Tomi’s father is also wealthy, so. I am quite suite surprised she is giving the impression here of a destitute ab@ndoned mother.

A while ago, Tomi suddenly decided she was moving permanently with Rayne to Canada to take advantage of her citizenship, house, and free schooling for Rayne. She gave the impression that, with her rich pedigree, she no longer needed our financial contribution for Rayne’s upkeep.

I don’t know what happened, but suddenly we are made to understand that Tomi has brought Rayne back to Nigeria.

Tomi did not tell us about this. It was just randomly discovered that Rayne is in Nigeria again and is enrolled in a different school without Femi’s knowledge.

In addition, it is worth stating that Tomi and Femi have only one child together. They are not married, and it was Tomi who broke off the relationship with Femi 15 years ago. He did not break it off with her.

Tomi, as you know, my door is always open for you. If you were genuinely interested in Rayne’s welfare, and you could not reach Femi, the ideal thing to do is to get in touch with me or my wife.
Both families have a cordial relationship, so it is sad to see that you chose to resort to all this unnecessary mudslinging on social media. For the sake of our granddaughter, I would suggest that you both find a better way to resolve this issue.

If necessary, we should arrange for more formal arbitration where there would be a mediator present. We and your parents are on the best of terms, so it is good to also involve them. We would also like to see our granddaughter, Rayne; we have not seen her for a while.”

“A while ago, I told my friends I’d pay them $5,000 if they introduce me to my husband,” she said.

“If you introduce me to my husband, and I marry him, I will give you $5,000,” she said in a Tiktok video.

Speaking to The Post, she said, “I’ve been single for about five years now, meeting people in person and on the apps. But since COVID, there’s been a weird shift in dating culture — guys don’t approach you in person, and most of the men on apps aren’t swiping to seriously date.

“So I feel like paying $5,000 for a husband who’s vouched for, meets my needs and is ready for a real relationship is totally worth it,” said Tilley-Coulson with a laugh.

She also explained that she will make the payment once the marriage is official.

“You get [the $5,000] as soon as the marriage certificate is signed,” said Tilley-Coulson in a subsequent TikTok video featuring her no-nonsense friend Lara Bahr.

“He has to be eligible,” added Bahr, a lawyer. “That means he cannot be already married,” she continued. “This can’t be his second wife.”

A young lady has taken to social media to tearfully explain why she decided to put off her marriage to a wealthy suitor three months before the big day.

She said that the emotional suffering was unbearable, leading her to lose focus on her business and almost shut it down.

“POV: I called off my weeding three months before. Imagine ending it with someone you thought would be your forever.

Today 8th of July I was supposed to officially be called a Mrs.

Friends blamed me for leaving and ending things with a wealthy ma instead of enduring. But I wasn’t interested in what he had to offer physically because the emotional pain got the better part.

I stopped focusing on my brand and almost had to shut it down. Its been 3 months, I’m fine now, (I guess)”

“Your file dey table bros” – Daddy Freeze reacts to Kingsley Okonkwo’s post condemning the rate at which couples meet and have coitus immediately

Media personality, Daddy Freeze, has reacted to the post by Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo criticizing the frequency with which prospective partners connect and begin having sex right away.

According to Kingsley Okonkwo, young people have fouled up the order of events in relationships by starting to have sex before getting to know one another or defining their relationships.

He argued that the appropriate partner should be found first, spoken to, known well enough, have a defined relationship, married, and then have lots of sex with.

He wrote;

“Meet a fine boy/girl , start talking, start talking alot , start having sex , then know each other better & check if you want to define the relationship

This generation is something else , they have the order all messed up , undefined relationship has been normalised

Guys a more reasonable order is -meet, talk, get to know each other , define relationship, marry and then alot of sex”

Reacting to the post, DaddyFreeze left a cryptic comment, stating that Pastor Kingsley’s file in on the table.
