Lady weeps

According to her, it’s not the end of their relationship that pains her the most, but rather the hurtful insults towards her family.

She captioned the post,

“I’m broken 😭 I don’t know where to start but my advice to every young lady there don’t open up to a guy because of love😭

I’m not crying because I and this guy broke up, actually I’m happy he showed his attitude but am emotionally traumatized, mentally stressed because this guy insulted my mum, also brought us down like I and my family was nothing 😭😭 do you know how it feels to come out from a separated home 😭

My mum is my everything. She stood by us, didn’t remarry, she takes loan to take care of us. Yes, its true we don’t have money and we are nobody according to him but something in me knows i will make my mum, the only jewelry I have, reap the fruit of her labor, I have no idea how I can do it but……its well 😭 I haven’t cried for any man before but this pieces me 😭😭😭😭”

Singer, Davido unfollows Isreal DMW after he apologised to Muslims on his behalf (Screenshot)

Nigerian superstar singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has unfollowed his logistics manager, Isreal DMW, on Instagram.

This comes after Isreal apologized to the Muslim community on Davido’s behalf over a controversial video he had posted.

A few days ago, Davido took to his Twitter page to share a snippet of a music video to promote his new signee, Logos Olori.

The ‘Jaye Lo’ music video sparked massive outrage among Nigerian Muslims due to its content featuring men dressed in Jalamiya, an Islamic outfit, praying and dancing in front of a mosque. Many saw the video as a mockery of their religion and criticized Davido for it.

In response to the criticism, Davido eventually bowed to pressure and deleted the video without offering an apology.

To pacify the offended Muslims, Davido’s aide, Isreal DMW, took to his Instagram story to issue an apology on his boss’s behalf.

Isreal DMW explained that the ‘Jaye Lo’ clip was purely for entertainment purposes but was wrongly presented. He further declared his love for all Muslims.

“Let me specially apologize to my Muslim brothers and sisters for the video my oga posted. It was an entertainment effort that was wrongly presented. Please don’t be upset. Love you all,” he wrote.

Following this, a check on Davido’s Instagram page revealed that he has unfollowed Isreal. However, the reason for the unfollowing remains unclear.

A Nigerian boy who initially claimed that Nigerian superstar singer, Davido, helped him has now retracted his statement.

The boy had gone viral a few days ago after he took to social media to celebrate, claiming he received a message from the 30 BG boss.

“I’d rather diə lonely than marry a 30-year-old woman” – Rapper, Speed Darlington (Video)

Nigerian rapper, Darlington Okoye, better known as Speed Darlington, has said that he would never marry a lady who is 30 years old or above.

The “Bangdadadang!” crooner made this statement in a video that is currently circulating on the internet.

He firmly asserted that he would prefer to be alone for the rest of his life rather than marry a woman in that age group.

He also mentioned that, in his experience, older women tend not to assist their partners in paying bills, despite their financial wealth.

Truck crushes Ogun monarch to death inside commercial tricycle

Truck crushes

The Olu of Onibuku in Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State, Oba Abraham Olusegun Bankole, was crushed to death by a truck.

The tragic accident occurred along the Ota-Idiroko expressway in Ogun State on Tuesday, July 25, 2023

The traditional ruler was aboard a tricycle (Keke Napep) when a liquor-laden truck, with registration number EPE 252 XF, ran over the tricycle near Living Faith Church.

Unfortunately, the monarch lost his life on the spot while trying to alight from the tricycle.

Truck crushes

Both the spokesperson of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ogun, Florence Okpe, and the spokesperson for the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps, Babatunde Akinbiyi, have confirmed the tragedy.

“Yes, it is true. There was an accident in the area today and it recorded a casualty. I was informed of the incident today,” Akinbiyi stated.

“Corps Commander and Chief Executive Officer of Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency commiserates with the Kabiyesi’s family and entire inhabitants of the community,” he added.

Truck crushes

A first-class Oba in Ogun West confirmed the incident to newsmen and expressed deep sadness over the fact that the monarch chose to commute in a tricycle instead of using a personal car.

There are speculations that Oba Bankole might have resorted to using a tricycle due to the hike in the pump price of petrol.

Truck crushes

However, the spokesperson for the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ogun, Florence Okpe, stated that she was yet to be fully briefed by the FRSC in Ota Unit regarding the details of the incident.

The remains of the monarch have been deposited at the General Hospital, Ota, while the truck involved in the accident was moved from the road by police officers.

Frustrated lady narrates ordeal with husband who took over boutique shop he opened for her

A married lady has taken to social media to seek public opinion as she shares her heartbreaking story of how her husband robbed her of ownership of the store he built for her as it began to develop immensely.

She stated that after they married, her husband opened a store for her and informed her that she was doing it as a family business.

According to the lady who understood the clothing line company, she subsequently told him more about the business and he continued to invest in it.

She said that when the business began to thrive, he began to give him ownership and, in the end, entirely cut her off when the firm began to generate more revenue.

She wrote;

“So my hubby opened a boutique for me when we got married, after work he comes there and stays with me, I later taught him the business and told him to add male wears for me and he did, he invested 100percent in the business, I didn’t bring any money. But he said he was opening it for me as a family business

In the long run when he saw how I have built customer base and the money I was making, he started investing more in the business, expanded the business and somehow started giving me ownership attitude and started acting like I was competing with him to be the boss in the business.

Long story short , he even stopped me from taking a dime, even if it’s to buy a bag of water, I must tell his sales girls to record, any time I ask for money, he will say I want to run him down financially, So I decided to look for a job

I got a job that pays 150k but I miss my business so bad, he has now cut me off the business completely, he has girls that do everything, from the WhatsApp marketing I do , to the stock taking, to accounting, he has put structures in place , now I feel like a stranger when I come to pick the kids from the shop(school bus drops them off at the shop)

Now he just travelled and I just got to the shop , expecting as usual to be the one to do accounting in his place while I instruct the girls but he just called me that he told the girls to tie all the daily money and keep somewhere, when he’s back after 3 weeks , he will do accounting.

Am in tears now , because what in the name of trust issues is this , this has never happened, I always do accounting when he travels and tells him when the girls didn’t account for some money. Now I feel like he just called me a criminal in front of the girls

And he expect me to just sit down and be looking at them work and close the shop with them at night

Am really hurt, should I stop going to the shop for this 3 weeks he will be away?

I see this my husband like someone who can surprise me at anytime.

I miss my business, should I save up and start same business somewhere else ? What happens to me 150k job?

I also need words of encouragement from women married to husbands who don’t respect them”

“It would be very unwise for Davido to take the counsel of an atheist like Professor Wole Soyinka telling him he owes no apology to Muslims” – Reno Omokri

Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has remarked that it is unwise for Davido to listen to an atheist like Professor Wole Soyinka who advised him not to apologize to Muslims who are offended by one of his signees’ music videos.

Davido was recently called out for sharing a music video by his new signee, Logos Olori, which received harsh criticism from Muslims who found its content offensive and disrespectful.

Reno Omokri

The controversial video depicted men dressed in white ‘jalabiya’ praying and dancing in front of a mosque.

Muslim believers were deeply upset by the video, considering it disrespectful to their religion, Islam.

In response to the outrage, Davido eventually took down the video from his Twitter account but did not apologize to the Muslim community.

However, in a statement on Tuesday, Soyinka threw his weight behind the 30BG boss.

Rising to defend Davido, Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka in a statement released, accused former Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El Rufai of making derogatory comments against Christians in the past but was never asked to apologize.

He also noted that it wasn’t Davido’s music that lynched Deborah Yakubu, a second-year Christian college student who was killed by a mob of Muslim students in Sokoto last year over alleged blasphemy. He averred that he sees no basis for Davido to apologize to Muslims.

Reacting to Soyinka’s comment, Reno via his Instagram page wrote;

“It would be very unwise for Davido to take the counsel of an atheist like Professor Wole Soyinka, who is telling him he owes no apology to Muslims, over the video for the song jaye lo. This is a man who does not believe in God. How can he then know how people who believe in God feel?

Islam belongs to Muslims, who assert that they received it from God. It is not for an atheist or a Christian or any practitioner of another religion other than Islam to tell them how to feel when their faith is used in ways they disapprove of.

Is this not the same Professor Wole Soyinka who, just two weeks ago, on July 7, 2023, condemned the Emir of Ilorin for stopping an Osun priestess, Yeye Ajesikemi Omolara, from holding an Isese festival in Ilorin and demanded redress for Osun worshippers? So, why is he now against redress for Muslims?

Nigerians need to remember that this is the same Wole Soyinka who, on May 8, 2023, boasted that Peter Obi apologised to him in person over the attacks on his person by Obidients. Yet, he is here counselling Davido not to apologise to Muslims over a video they consider sacrilegious.

Christians have also previously taken offence with movies and music that, in our view, are sacrilegious about the person of our Lord and Saviour. These include the movies The First Temptation of Christ and The Last Temptation of Christ. We collectively boycotted these movies and demanded an apology and their recall. We were also upset when Mallam Nasir El-Rufai made a crude joke about our Lord and Saviour. How will we feel if a Muslim celebrity comes out to say we do not deserve any apology for those movies and jokes?

In Mark 12:31, our Lord told us to love our neighbour as ourselves. Muslims are our neighbours. They joined us in condemning El-Rufai when he made his crude Jesus joke. They united with us in asking him to apologise. Under pressure from both Christians and Muslims, El-Rufai apologised.

Deleting the offending video is a first step for which I commend Davido. Apologising will put the matter to an end and assuage the hurt feelings of Muslims.

An elder should be known for putting out fires, not for adding fuel to flames.”

“It’s my customers right to decide whether to tag our brand or not. Cause you paid for it! Which I don’t take for granted if you tag me to your post A 4.
But you claiming you sold the dress when you don’t even have the cloth on you page is funny asl,cause you saw the dress trending then you want to use it to shine??

Woman slips and plunges 100ft to her death moments after getting engaged to her man

Woman slips

A newly engaged woman, identified as Yesim Demir, 39, fell to her death from a cliff just moments after her boyfriend, Nizamettin Gursu, proposed to her on July 6.

The couple was at a romantic cliffside spot in Turkey, enjoying the sunset after Gursu’s proposal. He then went back to the car to get food and drinks to celebrate their engagement, when he heard a deafening scream.

Gursu rushed back to the spot and to his horror, found that his fiancée had fallen approximately 104 feet off the cliff’s edge. He immediately called for help, but despite 45 minutes of resuscitation efforts, the medics declared Yesim Demir dead.

Friends of the deceased told local media that the cliff, situated in Polente Cape, Canakkale, was a popular spot where many people came to admire the breathtaking view, but sadly, there is no safety measures in place.

‘This is a place where everyone comes and watches the sunset,’ they said. ‘However, the roads are very bad and there is no precaution on the edge of the cliff. A fence should be drawn here, precautions should be taken.’

Gursu told local media:

‘We chose it to have a romantic memory after the proposal. We drank some alcohol.

‘Everything happened at once. She lost her balance and fell down.’

Following the incident, the authorities immediately closed off the area and launched an investigation, with access to the cliff restricted until July 15, when controlled entry was permitted once more.

She boldly stated that she would be the first housemate in the history of the reality TV show to refuse eviction.

Uriel sends

Her statement came in response to Biggie’s question about which housemate she believes will be evicted first on Sunday.

“Who do you think is leaving on Sunday?” Biggie asked.

In her response, the ever-dramatic reality TV star said,

“I pray it is not me because you will be needing 25 ninjas to carry me out. I will not go. I will be the first housemate in Big Brother Naija history to reject eviction. Not my portion.”

During the show premiere last Sunday, Uriel revealed one of her reasons for being on the All Stars season of the Big Brother Naija show.

Uriel, while speaking to the show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, revealed that she will be looking out for a potential husband in the house.

The 34-year-old fitness enthusiast, however, also stated that she has her eyes set on the goodies the show has to offer. She further asserted that she will bring both drama and positive vibes to the show.

Actress, Georgina Onuoha slams Eniola Badmus for ‘intimidating’ Tiktoker who defamed her

Nollywood actress, Georgina Onuoha, has accused her colleague Eniola Badmus of kidnapping and intimidating a young Nigerian lady who defamed her.

Recall that the lady, a TikToker identified as Ego, made a viral video where she alleged that Eniola Badmus is a professional pimp who connects young ladies to politicians.

Ego further alleged that the actress had attempted to set up one of her friends with a politician at some point.

Subsequently, Eniola revealed in a social media update on Monday that she had effected the arrest of Ego over the defamatory video.

Following this disclosure, Georgina Onuoha took to her Instagram page to criticize the arrest, noting that it amounted to an abuse of power and intimidation on Eniola’s part.

She urged Eniola to use the law diligently and not oppressively because of her fame and proximity to power.

According to her, defamation is not a criminal offense that warrants an arrest.

“In any functioning society, if someone defames you, it is within your rights to seek damages done to your reputation. What she did was wrong and defamatory. Eniola @eniola_badmus your next line of action will be to sue her for defamation and seek restitution.

Arresting her means you are equally breaking the law. Slander or defamation is not a criminal offense that warrants arrest and parading this young woman like a criminal. Yes she defamed you, sue her for damages. This is abuse of power and intimidation on your part. Use the law diligently and not oppressively because of your proximity to power and fame.

Shame on the police officers indulging in this nonsense. @eniola_badmus. You are within your rights to sue her for defamation and damages done to your person and name. Arresting means you are equally abusing the law. Right of speech is her right as well as yours. If she threatened your person and wished you bodily harm, then you are within your legal rights to get her arrested for your safety.

This power play or show is laughable and beneath you. Let it go now and take her to court. Stop parading her like a criminal. @benjaminhundeyin your men should not be engaging in such ineptitude. If she is sued and refuses to show up to court, then the judge could order her arrest for contempt of court and law. This is abuse of power and the police should not be used as a weapon of intimidation.

We are in a democracy and the rule of law must prevail over personal grievances. This is tantamount to kidnapping by @eniola_badmus and members of the police force. He who seeks equity must come with clean hands.
Meaning that a party seeking equitable relief must be willing to fulfil their own obligations and act equitably themselves.” She wrote.

“Before you tackle Christians watching Big Brother Naija, be sure you’re not…” – Joshua Bamiloye shares

Joshua Bamiloye

Music producer, Joshua Bamiloye, has revealed why he feels Christians who watch Big Brother Naija should not be criticized.

Mike, the son of clergyman and Mount Zion Film founder Mike Bamiloye, expressed his views on Twitter on Tuesday, July 25.

He advised Christians who are quick to judge viewers of the show to examine their own lives and ensure they are not addicted to anything that takes the place of God in their hearts, including football or other distractions.

Joshua Bamiloye

He emphasized that Christians should instead focus on supporting and encouraging one another in their faith and putting God first. By doing so, they would have a better understanding of how to handle such contents.

The father of one tweeted;

“Before you tackle Christians watching BB, be sure you’re not a football addict. Before you tackle ladies that know everything about their favorite character, be sure you’re not the same with all the football players. Before you criticize them replacing devotion time with the show, be sure you haven’t skipped a fellowship over a hot match, Or you haven’t been checking live scores during the service.

“The fact remains that whatever competes with God in your heart is on the same boat, of course we know the show contains immoral scenes and isn’t exactly productive (life of over 80% of entertainment content today). So let’s encourage building our walk with God and placing him as top priority and it’ll reflect in how much wisdom we apply in handling these contents.”

“Chatting with a woman regularly and not sending her money or paying her bills makes you a boring man” – BBNaija star, Tuoyo

Big Brother Naija star, Tuoyo Ideh, has criticized men who regularly chat with women but never provide financial support.

In a recent Instagram post, the reality TV star pointed out that men who constantly chat with women without offering to pay their bills or send them money come across as dull and unromantic.

He wrote, “Chatting with a woman regularly and not sending her money or paying her bills makes you a boring and unromantic man. Unfortunately, I don’t think anybody can change that perception.”

In other news, Big Brother Naija lockdown winner, Olamilekan Agbeleshe, popularly known as Laycon, has reacted to rumors that he would be joining the all-stars edition of the show in the coming week.

Recall that the highly anticipated all-stars edition commenced on Sunday, July 23, featuring housemates from previous seasons competing for the N120 million grand prize.

Former housemates like Mercy Eke, Kiddwaya, Uriel Oputa, Angel Smith, Venita Akpofure, Whitemoney, Pere, among others, were unveiled as contenders for the grand prize.

After the premiere, a Twitter user took to the microblogging platform to claim that Laycon, Vee, and Tacha would join the show next week, thus sparking excitement for potential drama in the season.

“I hear say laycon, vee and Tacha Dey enter big brother house next week. This season drama go too much 🤣🔥. #BBNaijaAllStars”, he tweeted.

Reacting to the tweet, Laycon, who is currently in the UK after recently graduating from Portsmouth University, swiftly debunked the report.

“Na nonsense you hear sha,” he replied.

“Davido doesn’t owe Muslims apology over music video” – Wole Soyinka

Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has defended Nigerian singer Davido, over a video he released on his social media handles, that appeared to mock the Muslim faith.

Soyinka stated that Davido did not need to apologize to Muslims or anyone over the video.

Wole Soyinka

Recently, Davido was called out for sharing a music video by his new signee, Logos Olori, which received harsh criticism from Muslims who found its content offensive and disrespectful.

The controversial video depicted men dressed in white ‘jalabiya’ praying and dancing in front of a mosque.

Muslim believers were deeply upset by the video, considering it disrespectful to their religion, Islam.

Some vowed to stop downloading and streaming Davido’s music, while others threatened to take matters into their own hands if he didn’t remove the video and issue an apology.

In response to the outrage, Davido eventually took down the video from his Twitter account but did not apologize to the Muslim community.

However, in a statement on Tuesday, Soyinka threw his weight behind the 30BG boss.

According to Soyinka, Davido has no need to apologize for the video.

“The following should not be needed, but we appear to inhabit a nation space where memory deficiency has become an accreditation badge of competence in national affairs. I recall my intervention, several years ago, in an attempt to pillory former Governor of Kaduna State, El Rufai over some comment he had made that was considered derogatory to followers of Christianity.

“I forget the reference now but I do distinctly recall another of a bank manager who, at Easter tide, referred to the risen Christ as a metaphor for the risen dough in the bakeries of Oshodi. Something along those lines. Under obvious pressure, he apologized, and I rebuked him for the gesture.

“There was nothing to apologize about, and that applied equally to El Rufai’s comments at the time. It should come as no surprise that I equally absolutely disagree with Shehu Sani if indeed, as reported, he has demanded an apology from Davido on behalf of the Moslem community.

“No apology is required, None should be offered. Let us stop battening down our heads in the mush of contrived contrition – we know where contrition, apology and restitution remain clamorous in the cause of closure and above all – justice. Such apologies have not been forthcoming. In their place, we have the ascendancy of petulant censorship in the dance and music department. Just where will it end?” The statement read in part.

“I’ll make sure she goes down” – Eniola Badmus vows as she reveals TikToker Ego’s reaction after she asked her to delete defamatory video

Popular actress, Eniola Badmus, has refused TikTok user Ego Okoye’s plea for forgiveness and insists on charging her to court for defamation.

Recall that Ego had accused the thespian of being a pimp who connects ladies to politicians in a viral video a few days ago.

She even went further to suggest that the actress had attempted to set up one of her friends with a politician at some point.

In an update, Eniola revealed that the lady had been arrested for the defamatory claim against her and is currently in custody.

During an Instagram live with media personality Daddy Freeze, Eniola shed more light on the matter. She explained that she initially reached out to the said lady via Direct Message, asking her to delete the defamatory video. However, the lady responded by telling her to shut up, which led to her arrest.

“When I reached out to her in her DM, pleading with her to take down the video and not tarnish her reputation, she told me to shut up. And then I called my lawyer and submitted the petition.”

Eniola Badmus vowed to ensure the lady faces consequences for defaming her character.

“Daddy Freeze, the thing is, I know myself not to be the type that puts many things on social media, but for this girl’s case, I will make sure she goes down. On social media, I barely reply to people, no matter what they say about me. I won’t reply to you (on social media) if you are not Aliko Dangote, Femi Otedola, Jagaban (Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu), or his son; Seyi Tinubu. I can’t just reply to everyone.”

“I am the kind of person that does not get angry easily. People expect me to respond to what they say about me on social media, but the fact is that I don’t have so much time to reply to a whole lot of people. If I am not on stage, I will be busy with my numerous businesses,” she said.
