Rapper, Odumodublvck shares why he can never relocate to Lagos from Abuja

Popular Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, better known as Odumodublvck, has stressed that, despite being Nigeria’s entertainment capital, he found it difficult to imagine moving to Lagos.

Odumodublvck revealed this during an appearance on Quincy Jonze’s Echoo Room podcast.

His main motivation for making this decision is the city’s perceived lack of safety and the possible harmful influence on his mental health.

Instead, he expresses a preference for residing in Abuja, a city known for its relaxed and tranquil environment, where he enjoys a considerable level of recognition.

In his words;

“Let’s say a fish pond has 10 fishes in Lagos and there are a hundred fishermen; in Abuja, there are 10 fishes and there are five fishermen, if you are a fisherman, where would you go and cast your nets?

With the help of the internet, you can connect anybody. Now I’m in Lagos here na, I’m in Echoo Room na. I came from Abuja, I can go back tomorrow. It’s just funds.

I’ll come here but to stay here and dabble in that pond, is not safe. It’s not safe for my brand. It’s not safe for my mental space. It’s not safe for my bank accounts. Because, if Wizkid dey do show, before him call me, he go first call Joeboy, Blaqbonez, Fireboy, Oxlade, Buju, Omah Lay. I can keep going on and on, before they get to Odumodu.

But where we are in Abuja, if Skepta should come, if they don call three artists, dem no call me then dem never call any artist.”

Nigerian Instagram comedian, Lawal Michael Nasiru Bolaji, known by his stage name, Nasboi, has revealed that he cries when he is unable to come up with content ideas.

The popular skit-maker said this during a recent interview on TVC’s ESplash, noting that while being multi-talented, coming up with fresh ideas is difficult.

Nasboi, formerly known as ‘Low Budget OBO,’ said that he does not have a scriptwriter and that everything he releases is completely spontaneous. He also mentioned that he may have a creativity block and won’t have any content ideas for three weeks.

“I don’t have scriptwriters. All my skits are my brain work. Everything is me. “People make it look like, ‘you are so talented, it [inspiration] just come.’ It’s a lie o. Sometimes, I could stay like three weeks and I don’t get a single content. A lot of people are not so emotional, my emotion is on the high side.

So, when I don’t get content, I cry. I’m not lying to you. It gets that bad. I feel like, ah! Dem don collect my talent. Two weeks and nothing is funny to me. It happens,” he said.

“One can tattoo anybody’s name” – Blessing CEO clears air on dating IVD

Self-acclaimed relationship expert, Okoro Blessing, also known as Blessing CEO, stated that just because prominent car dealer, IK Ogbonna a.k.a IVD tattooed her name doesn’t mean they’re dating.

She made this statement in a recent interview with Punch Saturday Beats to dispel rumors about her relationship with the car salesman.

According to her, his tattooing of her name doesn’t mean then they’re lovers. She further mentioned that IVD had tattoos of his wife and children on his body.

She said;

“One can tattoo anybody’s name on one’s hand. I have Denrele’s name on my hand; does it mean I am dating him? I have more than five people’s names on my hand, and we are not related. IVD also has his (late) wife’s name, her face and names of all his children tattooed on his body. I did not know IVD as of the time the matter was trending. I defended him innocently. If I had something to do with him, I would not even say a word.”

She also addressed critical statements made about how she dresses;

“I dress very classy. Many are just looking for something to talk about. You can say my outfits are a bit controversial, but I wear clothes depending on where I am going. You do not expect me to wear a suit to the beach, or call me tacky when I wear a bikini.”

Blessing also discussed her current issues with the Nigerian Police. According to her late late bimbo’s sister who had accused her of contributing to her younger sister’s death was chasing clout.

“I was ambushed and taken to court. The woman who made a complaint against me accused me of contributing to the death of her younger sister, but that is not true. I never knew or met them before. I talked about the case like every other topic on social media. I don’t know why she picked on me. She was just looking for clout, but I did not give her that attention,” she said.

In the first year, my friend that got a nomination said, bro, ‘We submitted [our videos to AMVCA for nomination consideration].’ I’m like, okay, that makes sense. I can understand why I was omitted.

But 2023, this one that just passed, Nasboi was fire in 2022. I deserved a nomination. This is a humble brag. 2022, I was on fire. I made amazing contents; funny and inspirational. Then, I submitted a video [to AMVCA for nomination consideration]. A video way better than a lot of the videos that were nominated.

You know, when I saw the nominations. I expected a nomination. I want to win but I don’t win, I’m fine. But I just needed to get a nomination because I deserved it.”

“Stop advising women to stick with cheating partners” – Juliet Ibrahim

Popular Ghanaian actress, Juliet Ibrahim, stated that counseling women to stay in relationships with unfaithful spouses is harmful.

She mentioned this during a conversation with Saturday Beats about urging women to stay in unpleasant relationships for financial reasons.

According to the thespian, who recently came out about her domestic abuse, relationships should be built on mutual love and respect, and one should not stay with dishonest partners for financial gain.

She said:

“I firmly believe that advising someone, especially a woman, to stay in a relationship their partner’s infidelity solely for financial benefits is not a healthy or empowering approach. Each person deserves to be in a relationship based on mutual love, trust and respect. Infidelity should not be tolerated or justified based on financial considerations.

Instead, I encourage individuals to prioritise their emotional wellbeing, and make choices that align with their values and self-respect. Every individual deserves to be in a relationship that honours their worth and happiness.”

“A couple arriving from the US and heading to Ota, Ogun State had a brawl on the road with a soldier.
According to reports, even from witnesses, the said soldier was driving recklessly and this couple had to caution him to be careful, lest he causes an accident…

The next thing was that he pursued them, overtook, jumped out of his car in a gestapo manner, asked the woman to open the car that he needs to “discipline” both of them. I have never seen this kind of horror before, happening especially to people who were just arriving Nigeria…

after their years of sojourn abroad. This is sickening.
The @HQNigerianArmy must be compelled to look into this nonsense. Why would a soldier put lives in danger for hours, damage people’s car and threaten to kill, just because he was cautioned? What kind of society is this?

The couple remained calm in the car as seen in these videos, refused to open and the soilder, as if he’s under the influence of drugs, held on to their mirror, broke it, broke the window, smashed the body of the car.”

He made this known during a recent interview with MTV Base Africa.

“He [Kizz Daniel] reached out to me. He was not signed then. He told me that he had a certain amount of money, I think N50k, that he wanted to work with me.

“But my charges don pass N50k by that time wey I come dey work for Sunny Ade. That time I be big boy. I was like, ‘No o, I’m not doing.’

Charging Made Effortless – Infinix NOTE 30 Pro & NOTE 30 VIP Delivers 15W and 50W Wireless Fast Charging for an Enhanced Experience

Infinix NOTE 30 Pro & NOTE 30 VIP Delivers

Wireless charging has become a popular feature in high-end flagship smartphones. It offers convenient and cable-free charging, which is highly favored by users, especially among the younger generation. Moreover, wireless charging technology enhances safety by eliminating the risks associated with damaged or aging charging cables. It’s an advanced technology that combines practicality and safety. Infinix takes it a step further by equipping the NOTE 30 VIP and the Note 30 Pro with powerful 50W and 15W wireless fast charging respectively, providing flagship-level wireless charging at an affordable price.

Infinix NOTE 30 Pro & NOTE 30 VIP Delivers

The Infinix NOTE 30’s wireless fast charging brings several unique benefits to typical users. One of them is in-car wireless charging, aligning with the growing trend of wireless charging modules in modern vehicles. By placing the Infinix NOTE 30 Pro or Note 30 VIP in the car’s wireless charging slot, users can charge their phones while navigating or alleviate battery anxiety during the journey, ensuring they have a fully charged device when they reach their destination.

The second scenario involves the work desk, which often becomes cluttered with tangled charging cables, creating a messy appearance. The 15W wireless charging pad of the Infinix NOTE 30 Pro and Note 30 VIP eliminates cable tangling, providing a cleaner and tidier desk environment. This is ideal for those who appreciate a minimalist workspace. When you arrive at the office in the morning and realize your Infinix NOTE 30 Pro or Note 30 VIP is running low on battery, simply place it on the wireless charger and continue recharging while you work.

The third scenario occurs in hotels, airports, cafes, or restaurants where fixed wireless charging devices are commonly available. These charging modules support various wireless charging protocols and offer fast charging capabilities. If you happen to forget your charger at home or have it inconveniently stored in the bottom of your suitcase, you can easily place your Infinix NOTE 30 Pro and Note 30 VIP on the public wireless charging device to temporarily replenish the power. This ensures your phone stays connected and avoids any emergencies caused by a dead battery.

The fourth scenario takes place at the bedside table. It’s a common frustration for young people to fumble in the dark, searching for the charging cable before going to sleep while engrossed on TikTok. As a result, many users habitually place their phones on the bedside table, only to wake up to a dead battery in the morning. With the NOTE 30 Series, simply put a wireless charger on the bedside table. When you place your phone on it before bed, you’ll wake up to a fully charged phone ready for the day.

Wireless charging functions are typically found in high-priced Apple phones and select Android flagship models. This is because wireless charging requires advanced chips and higher charging power, resulting in relatively higher manufacturing costs.

While the iPhone 14 series supports up to 15W wireless fast charging, its expensive price tag may deter many users. In contrast, the affordable Infinix Note 30 VIP and NOTE 30 Pro not only supports 50W and 15W wireless fast charging respectively.  But they also include reverse wireless charging, a feature not available in the iPhone 14. This means the NOTE 30 Pro and Note 30 VIP can act as a wireless charger in emergencies, expanding the phone’s usability in various scenarios.

Infinix prioritizes user experience and has invested more to incorporate wireless fast charging technology into the NOTE 30 Series. This allows more users to enjoy the convenience and efficiency of high-power wireless fast charging at an affordable price, reinforcing the NOTE 30 Series dominance in a fiercely competitive market.

The Infinix NOTE 30 Pro and NOTE 30 VIP can be purchased at any authorized Infinix retail outlet nationwide. You get the opportunity to win instant gift items and enter the #CelebrateInfinixAt10 Mega draw to win the Note 30 smartphone and a range of modern home appliances if you purchase the Infinix NOTE 30, NOTE 30 Pro, NOTE 30 5G, or NOTE 30 VIP in the month of July.

“I believe he is real” – Elderly white woman who sent $80k to her online boyfriend refuses to believe she was scammed

Elderly white woman who sent

An elderly American woman, Terri, has revealed that she sent almost $80,000 to her online boyfriend before realizing that their relationship might not be as genuine as it appeared.

During her appearance as a guest on the “Dr. Phil” show, Terri revealed that she met her lover “Ricardo” on Facebook Messenger two years ago.

Just a month into their communication, Ricardo asked Terri to invest $10,000 in Bitcoin, assuring her a quick return of $1 million within six months.

Convinced by his promise, Terri wired him the money and continued sending money to him, relying solely on photos and phone calls as evidence of his existence. Sadly, she never received any return on her investment.

Elderly white woman who sent

While Ricardo claimed to be a U.S. citizen from Los Angeles, he said he couldn’t meet Terri in person because of his supposed relocation to Canada for work.

Whenever Terri tried to make arrangements to meet in person, Ricardo would always come up with an excuse to evade the meeting.

Terri’s sister, Tammy, who followed her to the show, stated that she strongly believed that she was being scammed but she refused to believe her.

“People are still telling me that Ricardo isn’t real, that he’s scamming me and that he’s not in Canada. “I don’t believe them … I believe Ricardo’s real,” Terri lamented.

Dr. Phil agreed with Tammy’s doubts and unveiled the truth about “Ricardo” by fact-checking the story he fed Terri.

Apparently, the man in the photos he sent to Terri’s real name is “James,” and it turns out that this is not the first time his photos have been used in romance scams.

James revealed that his pictures were taken from his social media accounts and exploited for romance scams.

“I’ve been dealing with this for over 10 years,” James said in a video sent to the “Dr. Phil” show. “I hope this video can show that I am the person in the photos, but I am not the person that Terri has been talking to and sending money to.”

Following the exposure, Terri revealed that she was heartbroken to discover that her lover was not real and vowed to block the scammer and get a new number.
