In a video shared via her Facebook page, Destiny disclosed that she paid Ruby Ojiakor N700,000 to star in her movie, but the actress has been unavailable and has also refused to refund the money.

According to Destiny, instead of Ruby seeking ways to make up for the disappointment, she began issuing threats about physically assaulting her.

In reaction, an enraged Destiny Etiko disclosed her current location in the video and challenged Ruby Orjiakor to confront her.

Destiny Etiko boldly threatened to mercilessly beat Ruby if she dared to show up, emphasizing that she doesn’t care about their age difference.

“Ruby Orjiakor, or whatever your name is… It’s evident that you’re seeking attention, Mrs. CLOUTINA. Should I be afraid of you? Who are you? I don’t engage in excessive talking. If you push me too far, I’ll give you a resounding slap that will make your face turn red. Ruby, you charged me without delivering on your promises. This is why I avoid dealing with colleagues like you. Ruby, you’re immature.” She wrote.

British singer and songwriter, Craig David has revealed that he has been celibate for a year after suffering different traumas from one-night stands.

The 42-year-old singer, who was previously known for his promiscuous ways, admitted that he has undergone a transformation and is currently not involved in any romantic relationships.

Craig, who bragged about ‘making love on Wednesday, and then on Thursday, and Friday and Saturday’ in his hit single ‘7 days’, revealed he has not been intimate with a woman for ‘maybe a year or so’.

During an interview with Louis Theroux on his podcast, Craig David expressed his belief that engaging in one-night stands can lead to ‘many different traumas’.

He added that he hopes his decision to abstain from sex will make him mentally prepared to meet his next girlfriend as he wants to start a relationship from a ‘good place’.

He said:

“Sometimes you gotta pull it back, man. I’m 42 years old now, things are different.

“If we can’t deep dive, if I can’t have a conversation and at the same time laugh like crazy with you, and see the beauty from within you, then we’re just gonna be doing the same game that I’ve been playing since day one.

‘I don’t want that anymore.”

In his younger years, Craig was involved in several short-term relationships but never pursued anything serious because he was scared of getting hurt like he did when he was only 16.

‘I had never felt anything like that before. My heart kind of closed down,’ he added.

A Nigerian man identified as Oluwafemi Damilola has been charged with stealing 45,000 naira from four runs girls and has appeared in court in Ondo state.

According to the victims who related the incident, Oluwafemi utilised their services and compensated them with phony credit alerts.

Reports state that Oluwafemi was later detained by the police and charged on two counts bordering on fraud.

According to police prosecutor Akano Moremi, the defendant committed the crime in the state’s Sabo district in October 2022.

The charge read, “That you, Oluwafemi Damilola, sometime in October 2022, at Sabo Road, Ondo, in the Ondo Magisterial District, did conduct yourself in a manner likely to cause the breach of peace by fraudulently having carnal knowledge of the victims.

That you, Oluwafemi Damilola, on the same date, time and place in the aforementioned magisterial district, did indecently assault the female victims by fraudulently and unlawfully having carnal knowledge of them with the pretence of sending them the sum of N45,000 which you failed to do so but willingly send them a fake alert with the aim of defrauding them sexually and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Sections 249 and 360 of the Criminal Code Cap 37 Volume 1 Law of Ondo State of Nigeria, 2006.”

However, the defendant’s attorney, S. A. Iluyemi, said that negotiations for a settlement had already started between the parties.

He asked that the defendant be let go and pledged that the defendant will pay the complainants back before the next adjournment date.

The money must be paid to the complainants by the next adjournment date, according to Chief Magistrate Charity Adeyanju’s decision, who allowed the motion.

Guinness World Record has revealed that their tweet announcing Nigerian chef Hilda Baci as the record holder for the longest cooking time by an individual is their most successful tweet to date.

They made this revelation via their official Twitter handle on Thursday, May 15, two days after they officially confirmed Hilda Baci’s record.

It will be recalled that the 26-year-old chef from Akwa Ibom state embarked on a non-stop cooking marathon in May 2023, cooking for a total of 100 hours.

This surpassed the previous record held by Indian chef Lata Tondon, who cooked for 87 hours and 45 minutes.

Nigerian singer, Cynthia Morgan has berated US-based Nigerian professor, Uju Anya, over her recent post on Twitter.

Uju, who is quite controversial because of her sexuality and opinions, had taken to the microblogging platform to share photos of herself tying a wrapper around her chest and smoking a cigarette on the balcony of her home.

She captioned the post, “Minister of Enjoyment”.

This didn’t sit well with Cynthia Morgan and she expressed her disagreement with Uju for equating smoking cigarettes with enjoyment.

“Smoking cigarettes is not part of enjoyment,” she replied.

See below,

A while back, Uju responded to Nigerian men who criticize her for being a lesbian and claim that homosexuality is not African.

She revealed on Twitter that many of the women who slide into her direct messages to confess to being closeted lesbians are married women who are forced to stay in their marriages due to the society they live in.

She further revealed that some of these women, who are living in major African cities like Lagos, Port Harcourt and Nairobi, sometimes request to be hooked up with a gay partner online.

She wrote.

“These men who attack me for being gay, saying it’s not part of African culture, lemme tell you 3 things:

1. Your wives lying in bed next to you in Africa enter my DMs EVERY DAY saying they’re gay and trapped in marriage with you, because family and society gave them no choice. Read her full post here

She asked why he was just returning home and why he had refused to answer her calls or return her over 10 missed calls.

Yul, on his part, denied giving Judy Austin a cogent reason for returning home very late.

Judy Austin further asked him whether he was having an extramarital affair, but he gave no clear answer.

“In two weeks, Tinubu is turning out to be one of the most progressive Presidents in our recent history” – Reno Omokri

Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri, has opined that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is turning out to be one of the most forward-thinking presidents Nigeria has witnessed in recent history.

Reno expressed his views on Twitter on Thursday morning, June 15, in reaction to the president’s recent actions since assuming office two weeks ago.

Recall that Tinubu removed fuel subsidy, unified the currency rate, signed a student loan bill and a data protection bill, among other things recently.

Reacting to these moves, Reno who actively campaigned for PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar during the presidential election, tweeted,

“President Bola Tinubu entered office as one of the least popular, supposedly elected leaders in Nigeria’s history. In two weeks, he is turning out to be one of the most progressive Presidents in our recent history, simply by his actions after his swearing in. Nigerians are not hard to please. Apart from those using politics to hide their secessionist agenda, most Nigerians seem to be happy with his performance thus far. And his popularity is high right now.

Except you are not being honest with yourself. If he continues this way, even the secessionist agenda will be defeated by good governance in a way that it could not be militarily vanquished by General Buhari. For those who understand Yoruba, President Tinubu is fulfilling the meaning of his moniker, Asiwaju. The PDP and Waziri Atiku Abubakar would have been better. Whatever the Supreme Court rules, we will accept. But at the end of the day, whether PDP or APC, all we want is good governance for Nigeria.”

Man celebrates as he finally graduates after spending 10 years in university

A young Nigerian man has taken to social media to celebrate his graduation from the university after 10 years.

Taking to the popular microblogging platform, Twitter, the man, identified as Akorede J. Ayanbisi, revealed that he has just completed his studies at the University of Lagos, where he pursued a degree in Finance.

Sharing photos of himself, the elated man wrote:

“After spending 10 years in the university education system, I have finally graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Lagos (UNILAG). I can now be addressed as both a Product Designer and a Financial Analyst. This means a lot to me, Alhamdulillah.”

See photos below,

Meanwhile, Ayanbisi had previously taken to the platform in May to share the touching story of his journey to UNILAG.

“I’ve always wanted to pursue my university education at the University of Lagos (UNILAG). In 2011, I completed high school and attempted the JAMB exams in 2011, 2012, and 2013, hoping to be admitted to study Accounting at UNILAG. Unfortunately, I wasn’t granted admission during those years.

In 2014, due to my frustrations with the admission process, I decided to enroll at the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) to study Accounting. In 2017, during my final year and first semester at NOUN, I was inspired by my twin friends who were also my course-mates. One of them gained admission to UNILAG in 2015, and the other in 2016.

Motivated by their success, I took the JAMB again in 2017, determined not to give up on my dream of studying at UNILAG. Thankfully, I was offered admission to study Finance at UNILAG. Currently, I am in my final year and will be completing my program this June 2023, by the special grace of God.

The day I received my admission letter was one of the best days of my life because I accomplished it on my own, with the help of God. Nobody was aware of the entire process until I received the admission, and that’s when I shared the news with everyone.

This experience has made me a firm believer in resilience, consistency, commitment, and being a goal-getter. There is nothing that cannot be achieved if you set your mind to it.”

The self-styled “African Giant” said,

“For this life ehn, if you no make am, no evidence say you try your best o. You go dey explain tire. Naim make we dey para”

“How I dumped university education for music after writing UTME 5 times” – Singer Crayon (Video)

June 15, 2023

Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Charles Chukwu, professionally known as Crayon, has revealed how he abandoned his pursuit of a university education to focus on music.

In a recent interview with Hip TV the Mavin signee disclosed that he gave up on obtaining a university degree after taking the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) five times.

During his fifth attempt, the singer encountered a music friend named Baby Fresh who inspired him to make a “significant sacrifice” for his career.

“On the fifth try, I had already met Baby Fresh, who used to work at Mavin. Juggling school and music simultaneously is quite stressful in Nigeria. Music alone is demanding,” he said.

“So I sat down with my parents and told them, ‘Mom and Dad, I want to pursue music.’ I explained that it felt like my heart was leading me in that direction. My dad suggested that I give the fifth try a chance, and if it didn’t work out, I could pursue music.”

Crayon added that during the Post-UTME exams at the University of Lagos, he made the decision to leave the hall halfway through because he didn’t want to prioritize passing the exam over his passion for music.

It was during this period that he met music executive Don Jazzy, who subsequently signed him to the Mavin record label.

In other news, Nollywood actress Akinyanju Omobolarinde, better known as Ashabi, has spoken candidly about her decision to date controversial singer Portable.

Ashabi, who recently made headlines after welcoming a child with Portable, revealed in an interview with @facetvafrica that she was initially worried about the backlash that her relationship with the married singer would trigger. However, she ultimately chose her own happiness.

The mother of one also admitted that she never considered being in a relationship with a fellow celebrity, but as fate would have it, it happened.

She described her relationship with Portable as a new beginning for her and emphasized that he is a very supportive partner.

“When a person has not experienced a thing, they cannot explain how it is. I also want to say that issues cannot affect people the same way, we are all human and the way we accept things is different. If I see someone and I like him, other people might see him and not like him because what might be appealing to me about him might be a turn off for the other person.

“I am happy because it was not in my plans and I never considered marrying an actor talkless of a musician but God did not make it the end of my journey because some people’s careers will end when they face situations they did not expect. Although I can’t see the future, I sense that it is not the end, it’s actually a new beginning and a way forward for me. I’m happy because he (Portable) is supportive and he is ready to be more supportive.

“I faced a lot but I thank God. Right from time, since I started dating Portable, I was scared that people would taunt and abuse me but I had to sit down and think about if people could console me when I am not happy, when something is my happiness and it’s not that I’m looking for the approval of others, then I have to go for it.

“I’m happy because my man makes me happy because if he is not there for me, today won’t be possible so I’m happy.” She said.
