Popular Nollywood actress, Anita Joseph, has replied to an Instagram user who made a disrespectful remark about her husband, MC Fish.

It all started after the happily married actress took to her Instagram page to share a loved-up video of herself and her husband.

Reacting to the clip, the Instagram user claimed that Anita’s husband is loyal solely because she’s the one funding him.

“When the woman is the one funding the man, why wouldn’t he be loyal?” the troll wrote.

In response, Anita Joseph hit back at the troll and emphasized how hardworking her husband is despite her own financial status.

Sharing a screenshot of the troll’s comment on her page, she wrote:

“This imp stopped by on my timeline. If only you knew how hard my husband works, he has gigs every day and we even reject jobs. Don’t be deceived, it’s not an easy task to fund a man for 6 years and 3 weeks. And there are still people you’ll find who won’t be loyal or even have sense. If you say I’m the one feeding my husband, no problem, I agree. But why are you so bothered? Go and fund your own if it’s so easy, aramashiogri!!! Shalom.”

Checkout what a submarine implosion looks like following the death of all 5 individuals on Titanic-bound submersible (video)

June 23, 2023

A video of what a submarine implosion looks like has been shared online after the tragic death of all five persons onboard a Titanic-bound submersible.

The OceanGate submersible, which set off on Sunday, June 18, for the Titanic wreckage situated approximately 39,000 feet below sea level, reportedly suffered a catastrophic implosion, killing everyone onboard instantly.

Following the tragedy, a simulated video of a submarine implosion has surfaced on the internet. It’s just like a bomb that can completely obliterate a vessel within milliseconds.

An implosion occurs if any part of the submersible’s carbon fiber and titanium shell suffers a minor crack or flaw, as shown in the video below..

The submersible lost contact with its mother ship about an hour and 45 minutes after it submerged on Sunday.

It’s believed that the men died on Sunday – before military planes using sonar buoys detected what they thought was a SOS ‘banging’ sounds in the water.

The casualties are OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, French Navy veteran Paul-Henri (PH) Nargeolet, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, and his son Suleman, who was just 19.

“The implosion would have generated a significant, broadband sound that the sonar buoys would have picked up,” Rear Admiral of the US Coast Guard, John Mauger said at a press conference.

Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, better known as Phyna, has called out the organizers of the reality TV show, MultiChoice.

This comes after the episode of the Reunion show that aired on Thursday, June 22, where Phyna was captured lashing out at fellow star, Chichi, and revealing damning details about her.

The show host, Ebuka, had asked Phyna about her friendship with Chichi after the house. In response, Phyna went on a spree, talking about how Chichi is actually older than she claimed, a mother of two, and several other things.

“I know Chichi is older than almost everybody [BBN Season 7 housemates]. She is about 33 years old. Excuse me! The way you have silicone on your n*yash and your breasts, you have it on your brain. So, shut up. Chichi stripper. Chichi silicone brain. Chichi, mother of two; abandoned them, one died. Chichi left her husband in Benin…” Phyna said.

After the episode aired, Phyna went on a lengthy rant on social media, calling out MultiChoice and accusing them of selling a certain narrative about her.

She claimed the clip was “cut and joined,” as the mean things she said about Chichi were a response to the derogatory names Chichi first called her, which weren’t aired.

She further hinted that she was yet to receive all the prize money she won on the show.

19-year-old university student who d!ed in Titanic submarine ‘implosion’ was terrified about the trip and only went to please his dad for Father’s Day, aunt reveals

June 23, 2023

The university student who tragically lost his life in the Titanic submarine’s catastrophic implosion had expressed deep fear and apprehension about the trip.

According to his bereaved aunt, Suleman Dawood, who was only 19, decided to join the crew to please his father on Father’s day, despite his overwhelming fear.

It was earlier reported that Suleman and his father, Shahzada Dawood, a Pakistani businessman, were among the five victims killed when the OceanGate submersible experienced a devastating implosion during their journey to witness the Titanic ship’s wreckage, located about 39,000 feet below sea level.

According to Azmeh Dawood, the elder sister of Mr. Dawood, who serves as the vice chairman of Engro Corporation, her nephew wasn’t ‘really up for the trip’ but felt compelled to please his father, who was very passionate about the historic 1912 shipwreck.

Speaking with NBC News from her home in Amsterdam, Azmeh said,

“I am thinking of Suleman, who is 19, in there, just perhaps gasping for breath … It’s been crippling, to be honest.

“I feel like I’ve been caught in a really bad film, with a countdown, but you didn’t know what you’re counting down to. I personally found it kind of difficult to breathe thinking of them. It’s been unlike any experience I’ve ever had”.

She also admitted that she would not have gotten on the Titan submersible if she was given a million dollars.

Suleman was a student at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow before his tragic passing.

Professor Sir Jim McDonald, Principal and Vice-Chancellor, posted,

“I write to you with a heavy heart to share the news that one of our students, Suleman Dawood, is a passenger on board the submersible that is missing in the North Atlantic.

We are deeply concerned about Suleman, his father and the others involved in this incident. I know you will join me in sending our thoughts and prayers to their families and loved ones.”

Billionaires who paid $250,000 each to view the ruins of Titanic ship reported dead after their submersible imploded (photos)

June 23, 2023

Tragic news has emerged about the billionaires who paid a substantial sum of $250,000 each to view the wreckage of the Titanic ship with a submersible.

It’s been reported that the Titanic-bound submersible that went missing on Sunday with five people on board suffered a catastrophic implosion, killing everyone onboard.

US Coast Guard Rear Admiral, John Mauger, confirmed the tragic news on Thursday, June 22. He revealed that the tail cone and various debris, which matched the characteristics of the missing Titan submersible, were found about 1,600 feet away from the bow of the Titanic.

“There is an incredibly unforgiving environment down there on the sea floor and the debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel,” Mauger told reporters.

He added that the families of the deceased were immediately notified, adding that “he can only imagine what this has been like for them and he hopes that this discovery provides some solace during this difficult time.”

Reports of the missing ship emerged online recently, sparking a huge controversy on the internet.

The Titan submersible began its descent on Sunday, June 18, to explore the ruins of the Titanic, about 13,000 feet below sea level in the North Atlantic Ocean, with an estimated 96 hours of life support.

The expedition was marketed as “a chance to step outside of everyday life and discover something truly extraordinary” and each participant paid a staggering sum of $250,000 to be part of this adventure.

Sadly, the cramped vessel lost contact with his mother ship about 1 hour and 45 minutes into its dive and did not surface again.

Among those on board the Titan submersible were Rush, the CEO and founder of OceanGate; Harding, a British businessman; Shahzada Dawood, a Pakistani billionaire, and his son Suleman Dawood; as well as Nargeolet, a French diver, as reported by their relatives and social media posts. However, officials have not yet disclosed the names of the individuals who were aboard the vessel.

May their souls rest in peace!

According to Chichi, throughout their time together, Deji would assure her of his love but presented a different narrative to the public.

In a recent update, Deji took to the microblogging platform, Twitter to issue an official statement and apologize for his actions and harsh words.

He wrote;

“In light of the recent episode of the reunion that was just aired, I realize some of my shortcomings and I will start by tendering my heartfelt apology to you, Chichi. I acknowledge that I failed to clearly express my lack of interest in pursuing a serious relationship with you during the show and I take full responsibility for it. After the show, we made an effort to work things out, but unfortunately, we discovered that there was no chemistry between us to sustain a romantic relationship, amongst other reasons.
In the midst of the misunderstandings, I genuinely cared for vou and showed that in the best possible way I could. I know some things might have come off hurtful along the way but that was never my intention.
Although some statements were said about me that are untrue. However, I understand that we cannot control how people react in certain situations.
In a nutshell, I am sorry; my intention was never to lead you on or to disrespect you in anyway.”

I guess I have to break this down.. I’ve personally, PERSONALLY, seen people crash out over women. Over the perceived possession of them. This involves men, lesbian couples, etc.

This is where I LEARNED to not do anything to disturb that bc something crazy happened. I’m not friends w him anymore bc he’s doing life. I can’t talk to him. I’m human enough to miss my friend. Last time I talked to him, he told me he loved me and he’s sorry. That was it. No other thing was said. Her family never blamed me. Nobody tried to slide on me etc.

I feel bad for her. She didn’t deserve what came. I never saw that side of him, none of us in our friend group did. Y’all have babies by people and swear u didn’t know what they were like but I’m supposed to know he’s capable of what he did?!”

“You’re part of us” – Traditionalists call out gospel singer, Tope Alabi for using ‘their slang’ during ministration (Video)

June 22, 2023

Nigerian gospel singer, Tope Alabi, has come under heavy criticism for a song she performed during a recent ministration.

The renowned music minister, known for her powerful indigenous soul-stirring lyrics, recently performed in a yet-to-be-identified church.

In a video of the performance that surfaced online, the congregation can be seen dancing and singing praises to God as Tope Alabi and her backup singers performed.

However, a word she used in one of the songs has sparked a debate and backlash on social media.

Tope Alabi used the word ‘Aboru Aboye,’ which is a greeting language among traditional worshippers.

Reacting to the video, social media users criticized her for using such words in a church, while others questioned her spirituality.

One Instagram user, @Ccmoney, wrote,

“Why are people defending what they can’t? The greeting is limited to only the idol worshippers, most especially the Ogboni confraternity. Aboru Aboye; then the recipient would answer Aboye Bosise. If you’re still doubting this as a Yoruba person, please try to greet your parents by saying Aboru Aboye then come back to give me feedback.”

Another user, Olaxie, wrote, “She’s not supposed to use that word, but if you think she is right, then why are we not saying ‘ase’ in church instead of ‘Amen’?”

Meanwhile, some traditionalists have also reacted to the video. A popular traditionalist identified as obaelaifa on TikTok claimed that the singer was a part of their community and expressed joy that she used the slang, which, according to him, meant she was finally identifying with them.

Another group of traditionalists shared a video of themselves dancing to the song as they worshipped in their shrine.

He urged the “Timeless” star to sell the luxury vehicle or find a way to get rid of it and never use it. According to him, it was revealed to him that the devil is planning to use the car to bring Davido down.

“The Lord told me not to use the car he recently bought. Let him sell it and not use it because the devil has planned to use the car to pull him down. God has blessed him, but the devil has planned to pull him down.

Let him take note of Tuesday and Thursday of the week, I don’t know which week, but I saw something very bad. It wasn’t a good thing. He can escape it if he sells the car. He can give it away or sell it. Let him sell it back, the car he recently bought. Let him not use it,” he said.

This revelation comes a few weeks after Davido took delivery of the Maybach S-Class S680 V12 2023 car reportedly valued at $600,000 (N447,000,000).

A trending photo has captured a heartwarming public display of affection between former United States President, Barack Obama, and his wife, Michelle.

The photo, which was taken during the family’s recent visit to one of the most hallowed sites in ancient Greece, the Acropolis, showed Obama’s hand on his wife’s butt.

In the photo, his left hand was on Michelle’s right cheek as she climbed the stairs in front of him. Their daughters, Malia and Sasha, were also nearby.

Barack, Michelle, and their daughters are in Greece for an Obama Foundation event.

See photos below.

A while ago, former First Lady, Michelle Obama has revealed that she could not stand her husband, former US President Barack Obama, for ten years of their marriage when their daughters were young.

Michelle made this disclosure during a candid round-table interview with Revolt on Thursday, while she spoke about the challenges of raising two young daughters while advancing their careers and the strain it put on the marriage.

“We don’t talk about how much work is required and how hard it is even when you are madly in love with the person, even when everything works out right. People think I’m being catty by saying this: it’s like, there were 10 years where I couldn’t stand my husband. And guess when it happened? When those kids were little.” She said.

According to her, it was tough balancing raising the girls with their own hectic schedules.

“And for 10 years while we’re trying to build our careers and, you know, worrying about school and who’s doing what and what, I was like, ‘Ugh, this isn’t even. And guess what? Marriage isn’t 50/50, ever, ever.

“There are times I’m 70, he’s 30. There are times he’s 60, 40, but guess what: 10 years — we’ve been married 30. I would take 10 bad years over 30 — it’s just how you look at it. And people give up . . . ‘five years; I can’t take it.” She added.

Speaking further, she said,

“Malia and Sasha Obama were 10 and 7, respectively, when their father was elected president. Little kids, they’re terrorists. They have demands. They don’t talk. They’re poor communicators. They cry all the time. They’re irrational. They’re needy. And you love them. And so you can’t blame them, right? . . . So you turn that ire on each other.

Throughout the ups and downs, Michelle said she still admired her spouse. She stressed it’s important to know “your person.” Do you like him? I mean you could be mad at him but do you still look at him and go ‘I’m not happy with you, but I respect you,’ ” she said. “ ‘I don’t agree with you but you’re still a kind, smart person.”

“It’s a lie from abyss to make you fornicate unendingly” – Solomon Buchi tells people seeking sexual compatibility before marriage

Self-acclaimed life coach, Solomon Buchi has tackled those seeking sexual compatibility with their prospective partner before marriage.

Taking to Facebook, Solomon opined that sexual compatibility is a lie from the pit of hell to make people fornicate unendingly in their pursuit for someone who will outperform their last sexual encounter.

According to him, instead of looking for ‘sexual compatibility’, people should seek ‘sexual commitment’ because it ensures growth and fulfilment in marriage.

Read his full post below,

“Sexual compatibility is a lie from abyss to make young people fornicate unendingly in their pursuit for someone who’ll sexually outperform their last sexual partner. They end up sleeping with the whole town. What you need is sexual commitment, and it only exists in marriage. Commitment ensures fulfillment, hence, if you’re committed to someone, you’ll do anything within reason & sentiment to please them. Emotionally, this is the case; sexually, it’s same. Sexual commitment in marriage is God’s design. Sexual compatibility is the devil’s buzzword.

Think of this: as a Christian, premarital sex is a sin. You somehow fall into it, engage in it with multiple partners, and when it’s time to choose a life partner, you use what you learnt through SIN(fornication) for ascertaining who you’ll marry. This is not consistent. How do you seek godly marriage through sinful desires and acts? How do you measure a potential partner with the perversion you learnt from porn? Sex is important, but the sexualization of marriage and even our partners is the spirit of lust at work.

Sexual compatibility says “I’m going to test you & if you’re not good enough, I’ll leave you”, while sexual commitment says “I’m going to wait till marriage, and even if you’re not good enough at first, I’ll stay committed because we have forever to grow in pleasing ourselves.” ‘Sexual compatibility’ is impatient, and so is lust; therefore, sexual compatibility is lust. Sexual commitment understands sex as a duty as much as it is for pleasure. It gives room for growth and a safe space for vulnerable intimacy.

Stop looking for porn stars to build a godly marriage with. In fact, these defiant sexual desires are a result of disobedience to God. If we all stayed sexually pure; you won’t go into marriage wanting 50 styles in 10 minutes, or desiring 9 inches. These are works of the flesh.”
