“African women are so PETTY to each other. Small misunderstanding, 5yrs of Malice “I heard you said I am yellow” Are you Green? “I texted vou but you ignored ” There is a chance I missed it. “you think you are better than me” Sister! how do you know what I am thinking? You dey inside my head? ‘She said, you said, I heard what you said’ has distroyed Sisterhoods.

Friendship is based on what they can get from you.! Most calling you sister na for mouth… Wait until they manifest hatred they always had in their hearts. It’s so sad. Men will come together to create something meaningful in life, women come together to destroy, compare, compete and condemn each other. 😢 Men will see partnerships in each other in businesses, women see enmity & entitlement with each other. May God help my gender. Amen.”
A retired Nigerian pastor, Wale Adenuga, has taken to social media to mourn the devastating demise of the medical doctor, Vwaere Diaso, who passed away recently.
Vwaere, who was set to conclude her housemanship in two weeks, died in an elevator accident at the General Hospital, Odan in Lagos state on Tuesday, August 1.
Speaking on her death, Adenuga expressed sadness over the tragedy, and recounted how his pastor friend once told him that many people who die in Nigeria were not killed by God or the devil, including Vwaere.
According to him, she died because of the hospital’s negligence and silence on the part of the people to enforce change.
He stressed that long life sometimes isn’t a function of prayers, but how how well a society runs, citing the Japenese who live longer than Christians despite not believing in Jesus.
Read his full post below,
“A senior friend of mine who’s a very popular pastor in Nigeria once told me this: many people who die in Nigeria were not killed by God nor the devil. It’s true. And that’s what we have in the case of Dr. Diaso who died in that elevator crash.
An avoidable death because the maintenance didn’t do what they were supposed to do. But not only that; it happened because we all looked on and didn’t speak up and follow through. If we followed through, there would have been an insistence on deactivating that lift.
Let’s imbibe a culture of speaking up and following through when we see wrong things happening. We need to move from just sharing testimonies of how God saved us while others perished.
I used to teach my congregants when I was a pastor that long life sometimes isn’t a function of prayers. It’s sometimes a function of how well a society runs. It’s why the Japanese who doesn’t believe in Jesus lives up to 90 and those of us rolling on altars die at 54.
Speak up when the wrong dimension is used for reinforcement rods in a building construction. Because verily verily, Jesus won’t stop the building from coming down. When you see evil, speak up. And please don’t use that worn out phrase; AND GOD WILL HELP US, because sometimes He won’t.
And lastly, to the statement that this might be a result of an arrow fired; I would say our silence and negligence produced the arrow that was shot.”

Veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie, has confirmed the marriage crash of his fellow actress, Chioma Chukwuka-Akpotha.
Although there had been speculations that Chioma’s marriage to her husband Franklyn, whom she married in 2016, has ended, these rumors were never substantiated.
Chioma herself has neither confirmed nor denied the marriage breakup rumors. She also did a good job at keeping her husband and children from the public, so the divorce rumours remained mere speculations.
However, her senior colleague in the industry, Pete Edochie, appears to have confirmed the rumours now.
In a recent interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Pete Edochie said he was shocked to receive news about Chioma’s divorce and those of other actresses in the industry.
He also expressed concern over the rising number of divorce cases within the Nollywood movie industry, particularly among actresses. He further emphasized that marriage is meant to be for better or worse.
In his words,
“If you come to our Industry today, most of our ladies who got married 2- 3 years ago have all left their husbands, I was shocked that Chioma Chukwa had left her husband, Ireti Doyle, Tonto Dikeh. You take a vow when you are going to get married for better or worst, not for better or out. You will always think it’s greener on the other side, that is the mistake we all make”.
Famous Canadian singer, Celine Dion’s sister, Claudette Dion, has revealed that the singer is struggling because she has a condition called stiff person syndrome.

Speaking to Le Journal de Montreal (via SheMazing), Claudette spoke about how Celine’s life has been since she had to cancel her world tour. Claudette admitted that her sister needs to take a break to rest.
However, she mentioned that the singer, who is popularly known for her hit song ‘My heart will go on’, is working really hard to find a cure for the condition, which some doctors call ‘statue syndrome.’
‘She’s listening to the top researchers in the field of this rare disease as much as possible,’ Claudette said.
Claudette acknowledged how devoted her sister is to her performances, stating that, “She always gives her all, striving to excel and be at the top of her game however there comes a time when your heart and body are sending you a message.”
Her sister noted, “[Performing is] innate to her, she’s disciplined in every area of her life.”
“We can’t find any medicine that works, but having hope is important,” Claudette emphasized.
A source close to the singer recently told US Weekly, “It came as a shock, but she’s lost none of her fighting spirit and is comforted that at least she knows exactly what she’s dealing with now.”
They added, “There’s comfort that she can alleviate some of the symptoms by getting treatments that are specific for this condition.”

The comedian who divorced his ex-wife Uzoamaka in 2018 after accusing her of paternity fraud claimed it was the worst time of his life, but he continued to make funny videos to amuse those who were unaware of his depression.
He disclosed it when speaking with VJ Adams on the MTV Base Africa program, MTV Base Sparks.
Nedu claimed that in 2017 and 2018, as a result of the difficulties he was facing, he began to experience anxiety attacks when his marriage began to have problems.
However, the controversial TV and radio host said that before he officially ended his marriage to his estranged wife, he was “healed” by another woman.
He said;
“Getting over my first marriage, it was the most difficult period in my life. The funny thing is, it was 2017/2018, I was going through hell, but nobody knew.
You know how it is when you are taking a walk, and your heart is skipping for no just reason. I was under anxiety attacks. But guess what? I was doing comedy skits and posting daily. But I was going through hell.
Yes, I have healed fully from that situation, 150 per cent. The person that healed me does not even know she was the one that healed me. I healed even before I left the marriage because if you are not healed, you can’t move on. So, I got to a point where I was healed a bit, and then I moved on and then totally got healed much later.”

However, speaking during an interview with MTV UK she revealed that when she accepted the gig, she did not know she did realize initially how big a deal it was to perform at King’s Charles coronation
According to her, she was not aware that would be the only one representing the Commonwealth at the event until much later.
She said,
“When I got the call about performing at the King’s coronation, I didn’t tell a lot of people at first. But eventually, I told my mum and as always I was like, Mum, please don’t tell anyone. Then literally 20 minutes later, my brother is calling me, he was like, ‘Oh my gush!’ And I’m like, mum, wow! So, I’m not telling my mum anything again.
Initially, I didn’t realize how big a deal it [performing at the King’s coronation] was. And I also didn’t know who else was going to be performing either. So, I didn’t know I was going to be the only one representing the Commonwealth. So, when I started getting that information, I was like, ‘Wow! No pressure.’ It was great though.
Like I said, to represent the Commonwealth, and just looking back at the performance. It was iconic. It was such a great experience for me.”

American singer, Lizzo, has lost a significant number of followers on her social media page amid allegations of sexual harassment and body-shaming.
The 35-year-old Entertainer is being sued by three of her former backing dancers for alleged sexual harassment, discrimination and creating a hostile work environment.
Lizzo has lost 123,489 followers on Instagram since the news broke and now has 13.4million followers.
On X (formrly known as Twitter) Lizzo has lost over 14,000 followers since the lawsuit was filed in California on Tuesday 1st August.
On Friday, Lizzo dismissed the sexual harassment lawsuit filed against her as ‘unbelievable’ and ‘outrageous’ as she broke her silence on the claims.
She insisted the claims are untrue and alleged her accusers had previously been warned about their own ‘inappropriate and unprofessional’ conduct.
She also finally addressed THOSE banana sex act allegations which claimed the singer invited cast members to eat bananas from nude performers’ vaginas while in Amsterdam.
Lizzo wrote in a statement: ‘These last few days have been gut-wrenchingly difficult and overwhelmingly disappointing.
‘My work ethic, morals, and respectfulness have been questioned. My character has been criticized. Usually, I choose not to respond to false allegations but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed.
‘These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.
‘As an artist, I have always been very passionate about what I do. I take my music and my performances seriously because at the end of the day I only want to put out the best art that represents me and my fans.
‘With passion comes hard work and high standards. Sometimes I have to make hard decisions but it’s never my intention to make anyone feel uncomfortable or like they aren’t valued as an important part of the team.
‘l am not here to be looked at as a victim, but I also know that I am not the villain that people and the media have portrayed me to be these last few days.
‘I am very open with my sexuality and expressing myself but I cannot accept or allow people to use that openness to make me out to be something I am not.
‘There is nothing I take more seriously than the respect we deserve as women in the world. I know what it feels like to be body shamed on a daily basis and would absolutely never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight.
‘I’m hurt but I will not let the good work I’ve done in the world be overshadowed by this. I want to thank everyone who has reached out in support to lift me up during this difficult time.’
Plaintiffs Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams, and Noelle Rodriguez have accused Lizzo of creating a ‘sexually charged and uncomfortable’ work environment in their lawsuit.
They said in their filing: ‘Things quickly got out of hand. Lizzo began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching dildos launched from the performers’ vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ vaginas.’
The dancers added Lizzo allegedly ‘pressured’ and ‘goaded’ Arianna into touching one of the nude performers’ breasts.
She refused multiple times, while the popstar allegedly chanted louder and louder to encourage her to do the act, the lawsuit claimed. She eventually did touch the performer.
