A car owner in the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja was bold enough to put up a customized plate number which reads ‘Witch’.
This has prompted some social media users to insinuate the owner of the jeep could be the president of the witches in Nigeria.
Read the account of the news poster:
“So I was out walking with my friend yesterday’s evening when my eyes caught hold of what it could not help but call my entire attention to. A really cool customized licence plate with a pretty weird caption spotted near area 1 shopping centre.
As a curious mind I refused to pass and mind my business so, as my yeebo brothers would say: Just Negodu!”
Everyone knows that women are from Venus and men are from Mars, and just like guys say that women are akin to unsolvable Chinese puzzles who they will never understand, we say the same thing about guys.
Indeed, no matter how much you think you know your man, there will always be that unreadable glance, or that vague thing he says over dinner that makes you think, “Just what on earth is he thinking? Is he angry with me? Sad? Is he going to break up with me? OMG!”
We might drive guys crazy with our ambiguous ways, but guys drive us equally as crazy. But the great thing is that there are 10 things every girl has a right to know about guys – and we’re about to explain them to you!
1. Guys Get Nervous Too
When you go on a first date with a man, you’re naturally nervous. You’re terrified in case you smudge your makeup on your way to meet him, scared in case the wind knocks your hair out of whack, and anxious in case you accidentally spill your Processo ALL OVER HIM.
Guys are nervous too, though. Sure, they’re supposed to be all manly, and sure they take the lead and choose where to go, and they even pick up the bill with an assuredness that seems to be out of this world. But underneath it all, they’re just as terrified as you are and every time they take a sip of their beer they fret that they’re about to spill it all over you.
2. Guys Love Compliments
Yes, everyone does, even guys. A good compliment said in the right time can be a real game changer. Guys actually crave compliments, and it’s not because they are attention seeking or needy, it’s because they just hardly ever get any. Of course, guys prefer different types of compliments than we, ladies, do, and things like: ‘Oh, you look pretty gorgeous today!’ will only make a guy feel awkward; but you can’t go amiss when you compliment his skills, talents, manly behavior or strength.
3. Guys Don’t Actually Want A Threesome
Yes, many guys will tell you that their ultimate fantasy is a threesome, with some of the more creepier ones saying they want a fivesome. They want you and some random woman you pick up on a night out, all together in one bed. Shoulders, elbows, and 6 knees; they want it all!
The truth, though, is that it really is just a fantasy. Guys love their women and they don’t want anything to mess up their relationship, and especially not a threesome. See, whilst it may seem enjoyable for him to be cavorting with another women, he’s actually more worried that youseem to be enjoying it. Poor guy!

Patience Ozokwor, nicknamed ‘Mama Gee’ is now an Evangelist!
In a recent chat with Startells at a crusade organised by St. Marks Anglican Church in Eziobodo Village of Imo State, she shared her Salvation Experience.
She also stated that ladies putting on makeup, trousers and jewelry in the sight of God,and continuous usage may take those who do to hell.
Here is what she had to say:
According to her, she normally organises a personal retreat for herself in the first few days of the new year. When it was time to have her 2016 retreat, she heard the voice of the Holy Spirit telling her to fast for 21 days, she complained that she have so many projects to handle, Endorsements and movies to shoot within that period, and the Lord extended it to a 30 days fast due to her complaints.
During this fasting period, The Lord revealed to her, how she will be a voice for him all over the world, how people’s attention will be channeled from her image on Nollywood to The Gospel. Patience Ozokwo said one of the things God warned her on, was her dressing and appearance.
She said that ladies putting on makeup, wearing jewelry and putting on trousers is wrong. She said that she has been preaching to colleagues in Nollywood, but God told her to cut off her dreadlocks, stop wearing jewelry and trousers, that she could have gone to Hell, if she died December 31, 2015 despite the preaching she’s been doing, just because of her appearance.
She asked the Holy Spirit to prove to her, give strong reasons, why that was a sin, and Spirit of God replied that she should browse about it, that Testimonies of personal revelations God gave to people are all over the internet, and all of them are saying virtually the same thing, that she should find those informations to help her life.
She made mention of her Social Class, how the creme de la creame of the society, will attend her funeral and how such event won’t be a reflection of the position of her soul.
She said that people in Church is making God cry, due to their dressing, their loose life and conduct.
After that encounter, she gave herself to spirit filled pastors for follow-up.
When asked about her Nollywood life, Patience Ozokwor narrated that the Holy Spirit has not specifically directed her to quit or to not.
She said that she has not shot any movie since that encounter in January, that she used to get an average of 1.5 Million Naira weekly, but that God has miraculously been providing her daily bread.
She warned that it will be harder for colleagues in the movie industry, with permanent tattoos and eyebrows when they eventually encounter Christ.
She also said that she should stop being referred to as Mama G, as that name was for when she was in the world.
Dino Melaye, the controversial Senator representing Kogi West Senatorial district was on Sunday pictured rolling on the floor during a thanksgiving service in a church.
He said he rolled on the floor during the deliverance session and to thank the God that delivered him.
A mother of three has opened up on how suspected Boko Haram members abducted her in Maiduguri, Borno state capital, while on her way to the hospital.
The woman said she managed to escape after the vehicle in which she was being conveyed developed fault.
“On our arrival in Kano, the vehicle (in which she was conveyed) developed a problem I gained my consciousness and found that my body was strapped with explosive belt,” she said.
“It is in the course of repairing the car that I learnt the kidnappers have stripped me of my cloth and explosive devices were strapped on me.”
She said she eventually ran away before security men rescued her around 11pm and was taken to Hotoro police station in Kano.
She said the kidnappers told her that she was to go to the famous Kantin Kwari Market in Kano for “God’s mission”.
Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of the state and Abbati Dikko, commissioner of police in Kano, urged the residents to be security conscious and report suspicious movements to the police.
The man penned down his thoughts in an angry yet funny manner as he addressed older men who use their wealth and affluence to snatch young girls from their young boyfriends for their own selfish aims.

Yesterday, May 22nd..A Danfo Driver had a fight with a police officer in Igando, Lagos State where he died instantly after he fell into the gutter and died.
According to eyewitnesses reports, the policeman had stopped the bus and asked for bribe and when the bus driver refused to give him any money, he dragged him from the bus and began beating him.
As they were fighting, the bus driver fell into a gutter, hit his head on the edge of the gutter and died instantly.
Shuhu Garba, The Senor Special Assistant to President Buhari on Media and Publicity has explained why the President cancelled his trip to Lagos.
According to Garba, President Buhari is faced with scheduling difficulties.
“The truth is that the Vice-President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, will now represent the President in Lagos. The President is faced with scheduling difficulties and that is the reason for the postponement of the visit.
He needs more time for Lagos and for Edo which had earlier been stepped down. As a result of this, the visit has been scaled down and he is being represented by the VP, who is going to Lagos to commission a few projects, leaving the rest for Mr. President.
The President will undertake these visits after the Ramadan”he said.
Garba said President Buhari will visit Lagos after Ramadan which is likely to begin on June 6th and end in early July.
President Buhari was scheduled to be in Lagos today to begin a two day state visit whiCh will see him commission some projects and also pay a visit to the Oba of Lagos.
His visit would have been the first visit of a sitting President to Lagos in the last 15 years.
Not much is known about Kanu Nwankwo’s wife, Amara, because the mother of three has successfully kept her life away from the media.
The architecture graduate has rarely granted interviews and for the first time, she is dishing on how marriage has been for her, keeping up with her husband’s fame, leading a life outside social media, and her career plans.
Amara Kanu will be celebrating her 12 wedding anniversary to the football star, and it is interesting to see her open up to the public.
See the excerpts from the interview:
On motherhood
Motherhood is the best thing that has ever happened to me. In terms of motherhood, women empowerment and business sense, Beyonce inspires me. My children will always be my priority and I give God the most gratitude for blessing me with children. If I invest my time in them, they will give me more value at the end of the day.
On getting married as a teenager, at 18
Marriage is a growth process and I learn on a daily basis. I got married as a teenager. I was young. I think I jumped into the deep end and I simply went with it. It takes a lot of determination to keep things going because irrespective of your age, marriage throws a lot of curves at you. The main thing is being able to bounce back after being hit with a surprise or what you do not expect.
On her thoughts about marriage:
I wasn’t scared; I felt it like it was the best thing that could have happened to me. I was in love, so there was no time for a negative feeling like fear to come up. I think the love I had and still have for my husband was all I needed to feel comfortable and good.
On being thrust to the spotlight due to marriage to a star:
When I was getting married, I was not ready to be thrust into the limelight. I didn’t even know what I was getting into. I wasn’t a football fan and I knew nothing about the Premiership. I didn’t know I was getting married into that level of limelight as I was young, vibrant and in love. I am now a football fan.
On dealing with risks associated with her husband’s job when he was active:
When I began to understand what it meant to lose a game, I had to learn to cheer him up. I also had to learn really fast that every game had a consequence, a price and a goal at the end of the day.
On managing media exposure:
If you notice, this interview is one of the very few I have granted in recent times. I try to keep my sanity, so that I can protect my family. I had to make a personal decision to stay private for a very long time in order to build what I have built for myself and my children. I understood this from a very young age.
On early marriage and if she would let her daughter go through with it
Having gone through it myself, I wouldn’t say I would like her to do the same. I would like her to experience life slightly a bit more than I did. But it all depends on the circumstances and the persons involved. I had support from my mum, dad and siblings. In hindsight, I can say that they actually did a good job. In June, we would celebrate the 12th anniversary of our wedding.
On how she deals with criticism
I ignored critics and paid no attention to what people said. I overlooked Facebook and I only signed on to the platform in July 2011. That was shortly after I earned a degree in Architecture.
The founder of Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God, Sunday Adelaja is enmeshed in a sordid adultery scandal after being accused of sleeping with at least 20 women in his church.
The pastor of the The Ukraine-based church, which touts itself as one of Europe’s largest churches, is now being pressurised to step down after the scandal.
But he has denied the allegations. He said the allegations were the machination of people planning to kick him out of his church.
“That is not true at all; I have read what people are saying about me. The funny thing is that nobody asked me for any information; no interview was granted to anyone,” he told the Punch newspaper in an email.
A statement posted on the website of the Russian Union of Christians Evangelical Faith alleged that Adelaja, confessed to adultery with his female parishioners at a meeting of pastors and the board of elders of the church but added that he had repented.
The statement written by one Apostle Toff Ulissis, stated that Adelaja had been advised to “seek psychiatric help in Kiev and the United States.”
Ulissis said, “Pastor Sunday mentioned that he had a relationship with 20 or 30 women; probably, the number was more than he could remember. Also, I talked with many women (married and unmarried), as well as with their husbands, and they shared with me their pain and described how the pastor manipulates people who work for him. All the stories were equally horrific, disgusting and depressing. People are very sorry about the current situation with the pastor and wanted him to have psychiatric help.
“I made it clear that my aim is not to destroy either the Embassy of God, because many people have found help in the church or Pastor Sunday as a person. I wanted to make sure that everything has been done to these women and the couples have received care, reconciliation and redeeming restoration.”
Also, a bishop in Adelaja’s church, Anatoly Belonozhko, resigned in protest after the embattled pastor refused to seek help, it was alleged.
“We, as church elders, began to create new projects and exercises to heal and restore the church, a new structure, and of course, help our pastor. But Pastor Sunday in writing categorically rejected our help, humiliating us and saying that we have no power to tell him what to do and how to do it and that he knows how and what to do.
“For 22 years in the Church of the Embassy of God, of which 14 years in the rank of bishop, I have always been faithful and responsible before God and people for their service. Taking this opportunity, I want to refute the lie that I knew of pastor’s sin for a long time. I found out about the moral fall of Pastor Sunday in the middle of December 2015 through the pastors of the Apostolic Council. After I learned about it, I talked to Pastor Sunday, trying to help. Remaining in the church in the most difficult time for all of us to save and restore the church and souls of men. But as I understand it, the pastor does not need my help,” Belonozhko said.
But Adelaja stated told the Punch that the entire story was a re-hatched fabrication.
“It is actually an old story that was cooked up by some disgruntled members of my leadership team when they knew of my decision to hand over the church because of my plan to return to Africa.
“So, it’s a leadership tussle from those whose desires for church leadership were not granted. I’m happy with my wife. The church here in Ukraine is doing well. So I thank God that their stories though believed by some without confirmation is still false nevertheless.”
For some of them, they keep us confused when we see ads because we’re not sure exactly what they’ll be up to. But for some others, we can guess the path they’ll be playing and we’re mostly right in most cases.
Here are a few Nollywood stars who have been stereotyped regularly and the roles they’re stereotyped into:
1. Patience Ozokwor – Wicked Mother
Once you see Patience Ozokwor’s name in a movie, she’s the wicked mother whose children are forever getting in trouble with other people in the community or she’s the wicked stepmother who’s pressurizing her child not to marry from a family for whatever reasons she has.
She’s almost always ready to do anything to pursue her mission, including going diabolical.
2. Jim Iyke – IJGB brother
Jim Iyke is that brother of yours who just got back from America and won’t let Lagos get to him. He’s always clubbing like he’s still abroad, leaving his shirt open and blasting music when he’s driving.
He also has his way with girls because well, he’s normally loaded and doesn’t know how to spend the money wisely.

During the burial of this young man, another young man was crying out his heart. He wept uncontrollably that many people kept wondering what is wrong with him.
The mc dropped the microphone and went and took this weeping young man to a corner, calmed him down and he started to explain.
He was with the guy that died the day he met his death. He drove off first and on getting to a particular spot, he noticed that some armed robbers were getting ready to block the road and resume operation.
He managed to escape. He started calling his friend to tell him what he saw, that he should remain where he was. This friend would not pick his call. To him: “why is he calling?
He should know that I am driving right behind him”. He refused to pick the call as this guy kept calling and calling.
Finally, he drove into the now ready armed robbers and they pumped countless bullets on him.
He died on the spot and armed robbers stole his car. This man was crying because he knew his friend killed himself. Many of us are just like this.
Are you the one buying the credit for him or her? Pick your call when your phone rings and know why you are been called. If the phone rings twenty times in one minute, pick in all occasions. He was saving credit for his friend because I am driving straight to where he is, he met his death.
You are in an occasion and you are calling someone you are looking at because you want to pass a crucial information, he ignores the call and is walking up to you instead, even when you are making sign that he should pick the call.
It is possible that this caller didn’t want you to come near him because he wanted to code something. Pick your call and say hello. Some people will not pick calls from numbers they don’t know and I wonder:
HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU KNOW ON PLANET EARTH? DO YOU EVER THINK THAT THOSE PEOPLE YOU KNOW ARE ALL YOU NEED IN LIFE? Note something, there is no one individual that knows up to 1% of the world population.
Is it not insanity for you to restrict your life to just 1% of global population? What of the remaining 99%? Many people have missed life saving opportunities because they refused to pick a particular call.
PICK YOUR PHONE WHEN IT RINGS AS LONG AS YOU ARE AVAILABLE. ONE CALL CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOR THE BETTER AND REFUSAL TO PICK A PARTICULAR CALL CAN TAKE YOU TO UNTIMELY DEATH.
Ace Nigeria comedian, Seyi Law has responded to viral media claims he brutally assaulted one of the security men attached to a hotel in Lagos.
Just at the just concluded album launch of fast rising Nigerian music artist, Kiss Daniel, which took place on Sunday, May 15, at the Eko Hotel and Suites, top Nigerian comedian, Seyi Law while on his way home, got into a nasty drama with one of the body guards.
Contrary to a report which states that Seyi Law and one of the hotel’s security men, Peter Ethan collided as the comedian could not help but slap the security officer.
Seyi Law reportedly slapped Peter who was trying to inform him of an alternative route he could take in order to ease traffic out of the hotel when the comedian got out of his car and slapped him several times.
Taking to his Instagram page, Seyi Law revealed that truly he slapped Peter but he did that because the security officer was rude to him, adding that, he has read other reports about what happened and no one on their right senses would just slap someone who was trying to help him out.
Comedian Seyi said:
“I am not writing to defend a mistake I made, but so people would know that I am also prone to faults. However, I will oblige you with my own side of the story.
The Kiss Daniel’s Album Launch show ended and I got in my car to drive out like everyone when I got to the security guy who directed me to the other gate which I did. I got to the gate and was asked to go and take the main gate, driving back, I stopped by the security guy and told him, “make una dey follow una selves talk na, you dey direct us go there, another person dey direct us back” and his response was, ” how many people don turn back”, looking away.
I replied him that even if I was the only person, I no reach to tell you and he said, abeg dey go jor. I was shocked, I said so I not fit follow you talk and he said, dey go. I looked and saw another security not far off and decided to get down from my car to talk with him, unfortunately, as I opened my car, this security guy pushed the door back at me, hitting my leg, I would not know his reason for this, but it got me angry and I slapped him thrice as I got down.
I know Eko Hotel has CCTV and if there was any around there, they can release the footage(s). I am not justifying my anger and reaction, but please pardon my behaviour. I duly apologise for the action I took.
Nigerian mothers and weddings are mutually exclusive.
All jokes but you understand what we mean. Nigerian mothers love weddings. Well, a lot of them. And there are some things we know they do at weddings. Here are a few tweets every Nigerian will understand perfectly!
1. This one about going to other weddings
“Who will buy aso-ebi when it’s her turn?”
When you ask a Nigerian mum why she went to the wedding of her friend's daughter,she'll say 'so that she can also come to my son's wedding'.
Wife of eccentric media personality, Charly Boy has made quite a shocking revelation as she said her husband of 38 years fathered seven children from ‘away matches’.
Reminiscing on their roller-coaster marital journey in an interview with Babalola Oshogbiye, Lady D said she had to battle the Area Fada‘s excesses in regards to the opposite s*x.
‘In the beginning it was the women, my gosh! Women everywhere. Charles is a charmer,’ she said.
She continued, ‘he had seven kids from his away matches and the women he married that didn’t work out, before we got married. But as the years rolled by I found ways of calming him down, and curing my high blood pressure. I later found out that the women were more for his hypes, like the Charly’s Virgins.
‘One thing I knew from the beginning was that my husband always wanted to be a family man, after all he grew up seeing both parents together for 60 something years before papa passed on. Much later the women thing totally fizzled out,’ she added.
‘In the beginning I wasn’t too sure how to deal with all his children from different women, but trust Charles he knows how to put his family together. That’s how I overnight became a mother of nine children plus my last three.’
Through the period, Lady D said she initially had issues with Charly Boy before eventually settling into the marriage more maturely.
‘Yes, in the beginning the first maybe 8 years, too many drama that I was dealing with. It wasn’t easy at all but I also matured along the way,’ she replied to the question about doubting her husband’s love for her.
‘I began to see things for what they really are not for what it looked like. Experience has thought me how to separate the boy Charly from my man Charles. Charly is an incorrigible button pusher and that will never stop, but my man Charles is also an incorrigible introvert and that’s who I married. A few times he has reported himself to me and he is not good at lying.
Charly Boy, who has been married three times before Lady D, recently started counselling couples in marriage.
It was a night of fun turn sour for Peter Ethan, a security guard at the prestigious Eko Hotel and suites, when popular award winning rib cracker, Seyi Law, ferociously slapped him across the face three times, as he was trying to maneuver his way out of Eko hotel just after the conclusion of the much-talked about Kiss Daniel’s album concert in the early hours of Monday, May 16 2016.
As invited guests and participants trooped out of the venue with satisfaction of a night well spent, also driving out in his Porsche car, Seyi Law was accosted by Peter Ethan, trying to inform him of an alternative route he could take to ease vehicular movement and avoid traffic.
Suddenly, with the speed of light, Seyi Law angrily flew out of his car and dazed the security guard, Peter Ethan, with three hot resounding slaps that got him probably seeing stars and staggering for balance. Lost for words as to why Seyi Law bullied him in such a rascally manner, the security guard burst into uncontrollable tears.
On seeing their colleague in such an emotional state, Peter’s fellow security guards rushed to the spot to inquire what transpired.
Immediately they got the gist of what happened, they took sides with Peter, one of them even attempted to physically harass Seyi Law, but for the intervention of a few peacemakers and Seyi’s quick escape instincts, he would have been lynched by an angry mob that began to build.
While speaking to Potpourri at the scene on what actually transpired, an emotionally unstable Peter tearfully recounted his bitter ordeal “I was only trying to redirect him through an alternative route which my boss instructed us on, to avoid traffic jam as guests drive out.
“To my greatest surprise, Seyi Law just jumped out of his car and began to hurl abusive words at me. While trying to explain to him he just suddenly gave me three dirty slaps. This has never happened to me before, is it because I’m putting on a security uniform? I didn’t expect this kind of attitude from Seyi Law”.

Tinsel actress Joju Muse, fondly called April, took to her Facebook page today to reveal shocking photos of how she was battered by her younger brother, whom she has now cut ties with. So sad! Sharing the horrifying experience, April wrote;
“I regret this day the 22nd of May 2016. I was brutally assaulted by someone I least expect. I cry out against domestic violence,and I will always do. But how does one handle this?

People from different spheres of life come together to thank God for his blessings in the ways they know how best to.
However, for these people, the house of God wasn’t just a place of prayer but a place that kinda skyrocketed them to fame in the music industry where they are currently.
Here are a few Nigerian musicians who got their start in the pews of the choir before hitting the jackpot in the entertainment industry.
1. Chidinma
Before Chidinma Ekile won Project Fame West Africa, she was a chorister at the Foursquare Gospel Church
2. Waje
As a young and gifted singer, Waje sang in church and was so good that the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa of the Word of Faith Church, Benin decided to cater for her all through her secondary school days.
Singer 9ice, whose real name is Abolore Akande, thinks the idea of a monogamous marriage is unfair to women.
According to Daily Post, the singer opened up in a new interview with Ebony Life TV, where he talked about his plans to marry more than one wife and have as many children he wants. The ‘Gongo Aso’ crooner, added that women would end up useless if men were to take only one wife.
“We have more women currently. If one man marries just one wife, other women will be useless,” the singer said, adding, “I’m a product of a polygamous family that is why I am also productive; because there are more women than men, it would be unfair if a man marries one wife.”
Recall that 9ice insinuated through his song ‘Once Bitten, Twice Shy’, that his ex wife Toni Payne cheated on him, and this plagued their relationship and led to their breakup.
In January, years after the their separation, the singer made peace with Ms Payne through a statement issued on his Instagram, clearing the mother of his child of all rumours of cheating.
9ice has four children; with ex wife Toni Payne, he has a son and a set of twins with Victoria Godis. His present partner, Sunkanmi Ajala, has a daughter for him.
Sorry! No Comedy Video Today..But We’d Be Back Next Week..So, to cover up for this week, we’ve got this Trivia Lined Up! We call it the “YBL TriviaPedia“!
Weird Name? Well..That’s what we could come up with. LOL
A ‘pastor’, identified as Adeniyi Johnson was arrested on Wednesday evening at Ijomu area of Akure, the Ondo State capital for being in possession of fried meat suspected to be human parts.
The suspect who claimed to be a pastor of a Pentecostal church said he was posted to the branch of the church at Ipogun town in Ifedore Local Government Area of the state.
According to an eyewitness, the pastor went to the busy Ijomu street and brought out pieces of fried meat from his bag and put them in a tray and started begging people to join him and eat from the meat.
His bizzare action was said to have attracted spectators who suspected the meat to be human parts meant for ritual purposes.
“The people in the area quickly gathered to lynch him because they also found some other fetish items inside his bag but security agents rescued him and took him to the palace of the Akure monarch for interrogation,” an eyewitness said.
Some of the other fetish items allegedly found in his bag were a feather and dead birds.
Facing the interrogation of the chiefs at the palace, the suspect said he got involved in the ritual to save the life of his child, who had been ill for sometime, adding that his action was not aimed at harming the people who ate from the meat.
He said, “I am a pastor of the Living Faith Church, I am not a bad person. I did this because my child is sick. I did not force anybody to eat the meat.
“I have an instruction from God to prepare the meat for people, and nobody has eaten from it. If anybody refuses to eat of the meat, I have been instructed not to fight anybody about it.”
Shortly after, he was handed over to the policemen who whisked him away to the Area Command headquarters in Akure for further interrogation.
However, a pastor of the Winners Chapel, in the town, on condition of anonymity, said Johnson had been sacked as a pastor of the church when he started showing some signs of insanity, to enable his family to take care of him.
The Public Relations Officer of the Ondo Police Command, Mr. Femi Joseph, was not available for comment but a senior officer who did not want his name in the print said some pastors from the church had visited the police station to attest that Johnson had a mental problem.
He said the suspect would still be in the police custody till the time his family would present the medical record on his mental state.
Finally, Burna Boy’s mother Bose Ogulu who also doubles as his manager, has spoken up on Uju Stella’s claims that the singer put her in the family way. Mrs. Ogulu categorically dismissed the pregnant girl’s story.
Read her full comment, according to PUNCH:
“What you know is what we know basically and my take on it is that we would rather just focus on his music which primarily affects his life than that. In Africa, it is not a criminal offence for someone to be pregnant for somebody.
If somebody says that she is pregnant for somebody and the person refuses to accept it, you look for his family instead of tagging a blogger. We have nothing to say to her. We don’t know anything about any child. She can never come to me, she has already gone to the blogger; she can never come to me.
“It is not new; these girls come up from time to time with different claims. My position on this is ‘no comment’. Anybody can claim anything that they want to claim. We have absolutely nothing to say, Burna Boy is a musician and we want to focus on his music. Nobody has time for her.
We saw all the reports online but we just chose to look the other way. In this industry, girls are always coming up with pregnancy claims, we see it every day. We are not bothered and we have no comment.
We just recently premiered a new video during the week and it is enjoying massive airplay. We are focusing on the music and nothing else.”
Last month, comic rapper Falz, real name Folarin Falana, fuelled rumours that he may be dating alternative singer Simi after sharing a photo of the two of them on Instagram along with a kiss emoji.
The adorable picture had caused fans of the two artistes to react, saying they should get married already while others gushed at how they made such a great couple.
However, Simi may have just burst her fans’ bubble and killed any hope of herself and the Karashika crooner dating with her latest interview with HipTV.
When asked about her relationship during the interview, Simi made it clear that herself and Falz were nothing more than good friends even though she stated that she didn’t mind dating him.
