Pastor sparks b@cklash after sharing how he stopped his wife from studying abroad

By
Sarah Uwaje
-

A pastor has come under heavy criticism online after sharing a story during a church service about how he prevented his wife from pursuing her dream of studying abroad.

In a now-viral clip, the pastor recounted that when he met his wife, she had always aspired to study medicine overseas, despite already holding a degree in microbiology.

According to him, she was so committed to the dream that many of her passwords included the title “doctor.”

He explained that after two years of marriage, his wife approached him again, asking for permission to undertake a two- or three-year master’s program abroad while he remained in Nigeria.

The pastor said he rejected the idea, questioning why a married woman would want to leave her husband for such a long period.

He went on to say that she eventually settled for an online program with the University of London, completing the course from Egbeda.

The pastor then used the story to argue that marriage is at best a distraction, claiming that certain dreams must be abandoned once a person becomes married.

“There are some dreams and desires that if you don’t achieve them before marriage, forget about it; you can’t achieve them again. In marriage, you lose your personal freedom and autonomy. You can’t wake up one morning and make a major decision on your one anymore because your decision directly affects the other person. You will have to sit down and decide together.” He said

The remarks drew swift condemnation across social media, with many users accusing the pastor of controlling behavior and using religion to justify the suppression of his wife’s ambitions. Others argued that his message sends a harmful signal about marriage, individual growth, and women’s rights.

“I would run for governor and still win” – Kiddwaya

Nigerian reality TV star Kiddwaya stirred controversy on X (Twitter) after making a bold political claim amid ongoing national tension.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate had earlier taken to the platform to express excitement about the forthcoming detty December, but his post was met with backlash from users who felt it was insensitive given the country’s current climate.

Critics urged him to read the room, pointing to the recent abduction of 20 female students in Kebbi State and the attack on a CAC church by bandits.

Rather than respond with an apology, Kiddwaya fired off a new tweet that escalated the conversation. “I’d run for governor and still win. Is this not Nigeria,” he wrote.

The comment quickly drew even more backlash, with many users accusing him of trivializing both the political process and the nation’s insecurity.

Others criticized the statement as tone-deaf and provocative, especially at a time when Nigerians are grappling with rising concerns over safety and governance.

Below are some of the comments;
“No, you won’t. You had two chances at Big Brother and was chased out like a lost puppy on both occasions. This is Nigeria, YES, but sit this one out, this discourse is beyond your comprehension.”
“Nigga, your mother ran for Governor, she didn’t even make it past the primaries (if I remember correctly). You’re not who you think you are oh, delusional fool.”
“Wow! You really need to take a step back and think deeply about the things you are saying. You have such an opportunity to show empathy and listen to what people are saying. It’s better to stay out it all than use your platform this way. I hope you do better.”
“Yes, you will because you fit the profile. You’re the kind of man whose very presence feels like rot. To look at you is to glimpse the worst possibilities of humanity congealed into one walking, festering disappointment nicknamed Kiddwaya. Like father, like a worse off son.”

Nigerian Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy has addressed his relationship with his fanbase, insisting that he does not pressure anyone to support him.

Speaking during a recent Instagram Live session, he questioned critics with a rhetorical, ‘I force anybody to be my fan?’ emphasizing that fandom, in his view, should be entirely voluntary.

His comments come shortly after a viral incident in which he escorted a concert attendee out of his show for sleeping during his performance.

Responding to public reactions, Burna Boy added that if he were ever to seek new supporters, he would prefer those who have money this period, jokingly noting that ‘pepper dey body,’ a local expression meaning that economic hardship is widespread.

According to Burna Boy, authenticity, not pressure, is what drives his bond with fans.

Below are some of the comments;

“The only thing business I have with these artists is to download their music on platforms and listen, no be me go attend their concerts or shows and be doing fan zone.”

“Lol, glad I don’t even see these artists as any god, like the way their fans worship them. The only business I have is to listen; I don’t even bother downloading their music, just go on music platforms and listen. All the best to him.“

“See what y’all are cheering for, Someone who doesn’t have human compassion or care.
But meanwhile, some of you still think Davido does too much and is always looking for attention. It is well.“

“Can you hear Mumu talk… You’re nothing without your fan… Even Eminem said what you did to that lady is wrong… You can fact-check me.“

According to her, her work has attracted academic interest, with several scholars writing master’s and PhD theses on her contributions as a queer artist.

“Every voice matters” – BBNaija’s Tochi urges fans to stop relying on celebrities for change

By
Sarah Uwaje

Big Brother Naija reality TV star Tochi has encouraged Nigerians and social media users to take ownership of their voices rather than wait for celebrities to speak on important issues.

In a post shared on his Instagram story, Tochi noted that many people delay speaking out because they expect public figures to lead conversations.

According to him, this mindset limits true collective progress because real change is driven not by a select few but by the collective voices of everyday individuals.

Tochi urged his followers to recognize the power of their own platforms, no matter how small, and use their voices to push for the change they want to see.

“People keep waiting for celebrities to speak before they find their own voice. That’s the problem. We keep looking for a “leader” when the truth is simple: every voice matters.
Change doesn’t come from a few people talking; it comes from all of us speaking up collectively.
Stop waiting for someone with a platform. Start using the one you already have. Your voice counts too.” He wrote

Below are some of the comments;

“How many views do we get? It would only be on our page, unlike you and your colleagues, whom blogs would repost.”

“This is a wrong take, someone with more organic followers of up to 1 million get way more reach in their platform than someone with 1k followers.“

“Celebrities have some leverage the ordinary voice doesn’t have. In case you don’t know what being a celebrity is, celebrities are taken more seriously than the common man, stop playing on people’s intelligence, bro.“

Senator Ned Nwoko has denied claims that he is communicating with his estranged wife, Regina Daniels, or seeking her return to his household.

In a statement issued by his communication team and posted on X (Twitter), the lawmaker said his only concern is that she receives therapy and rehabilitation.

According to the statement, Regina has allegedly been battling drug-related challenges, with the senator insisting that her recent allegations against him are influenced by her condition.

The communication team released what they described as a verifiable WhatsApp message reportedly sent by Ned to Regina on 17 October, expressing frustration over her lifestyle and urging her to return to therapy.

In the message, the senator complained about late-night gatherings involving Regina and her friends and warned that he would no longer fund her lifestyle if she refused rehabilitation.

The communication team said Regina allegedly became destructive soon after receiving the message, claiming she damaged cars and other property.

The statement further alleged that Regina’s behaviour deteriorated in recent months, prompting the senator to encourage her to maintain basic routines and seek professional help.

It also referenced incidents involving friends, including reality star Phyna, whom the team said he tolerated only to manage Regina’s condition.

The communication team additionally accused Regina of engaging in days-long partying and confrontations at a hotel, which they claim marked a turning point in her behavioural decline.

They also alleged that she filmed and posted a video of the senator in a private setting, describing it as evidence of irrational conduct.

The team concluded by saying Ned’s priority is ensuring Regina receives proper care for the sake of their two children, urging those close to her to support her entry into a reputable rehabilitation programme.

Court ja!ls suspended UNICAL law dean Cyril Ndifon for five years over s#xual harassment

By

The Federal High Court in Abuja has sentenced the suspended Dean of the Faculty of Law, University of Calabar (UNICAL), Prof. Cyril Ndifon, to five years in prison after finding him guilty of sexually harassing a female student.

Delivering judgment on Monday, Justice James Omotosho held that the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) established counts one and two against Ndifon beyond a reasonable doubt.

The court imposed a two-year sentence for count one and a five-year sentence for count two, to run concurrently, with no option of fine.

The court, however, discharged and acquitted Ndifon’s former lawyer, Sunny Anyanwu, of allegations that he attempted to obstruct justice by threatening a key witness.

Justice Omotosho ruled that the prosecution failed to link Anyanwu to the offences listed in counts three and four of the amended charge.

The four-count amended charge, dated January 19, 2024, accused Ndifon of sexually harassing female students while serving as Dean of Law.

According to the ICPC, he demanded indecent photographs from a diploma student identified as TKJ and repeatedly solicited sexual acts in exchange for her admission into the law programme.

Ndifon testified in his own defence, while a forensic analyst from the Office of the National Security Adviser, CSP Babagana Mingali, also appeared before the court.

In his judgment, Justice Omotosho concluded that the evidence showed Ndifon abused his office and exploited a student seeking admission.

“He parked in a no-parking zone” – Opera singer Abiodun Koya reveals why she declined further dates with Ned Nwoko

By

Opera singer Abiodun Koya has shared the unexpected reason she decided not to pursue a relationship with the Senator. Ned Nwoko, after a single date many years ago.

Speaking on a podcast session, she clarified that she and the lawmaker were never close, explaining that the outing happened about a year and a half before he met Regina Daniels.

The singer stressed that the encounter occurred long before Nwoko’s marriage to the Nollywood actress.

According to Abiodun, her decision was shaped by one seemingly small but significant moment that occurred when Ned arrived to pick her up for dinner at a luxury hotel in Abuja.

As she stepped outside, she noticed that he had parked his high-end vehicle directly in a space clearly marked No Parking.

Koya said the gesture immediately struck her as a red flag, explaining that while many people might overlook such an action, she is someone who pays close attention to little details, especially when they reflect a person’s values.

She added that the senator’s disregard for a simple rule made her question what such behaviour might signal for a future relationship or family.

“I was thinking, if I got together with you, what are you going to teach our sons? If he can’t respect rules and laws, I don’t want to be with him,” she said.

The incident, she noted, was decisive enough for her to decline any further interaction.

Koya concluded that some principles, no matter how minor they may appear, carry significant weight in determining compatibility.

The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) has officially confirmed that Nollywood actor Olanrewaju James, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, has been added to the Lagos State Sex Offenders Register following the completion of his prison sentence for the sexual assault of a minor.

Shortly after his release, an unverified video circulated online showing him seated in a vehicle, appearing relieved and stating that he needed rest.

The state government’s confirmation came amid false reports claiming that the Court of Appeal had overturned his conviction.

Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Lawal Pedro, SAN, dismissed the rumours as false and irresponsible, stressing that Baba Ijesha’s conviction remains valid.

He also cautioned actor Yomi Fabiyi and others spreading the misinformation to stop misleading the public.

In an official statement shared on X (Twitter), the DSVA reaffirmed the Attorney-General’s position and confirmed that the actor’s name has now been listed in the Lagos State Sex Offenders Register in accordance with Section 37 of the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency Law (2021).

The woman who was asked to leave Burna Boy’s concert in Colorado has spoken out after a viral video showed the Grammy-winning artist pausing his performance to call out her and her boyfriend for sleeping in the crowd.

The woman, commenting under a TikTok post of the incident, said the moment was embarrassing and humiliating for both her and her boyfriend.

According to her, the situation was misunderstood, and Burna Boy made no attempt to find out what was actually going on.

She explained that she has been mentally, physically, and emotionally drained following the recent passing of her daughter’s father, and she attended the show hoping to lift her spirits.

However, she said Burna Boy took a long time to come on stage, and exhaustion caught up with her.

“I am the girl that was kicked out of the show last night. Burna Boy could’ve handled that situation better than that. He had no idea what was going on with me, and he didn’t even care to ask if I was ok. He took forever to come out, and I was tired. We paid to be there, and if I wanted to close my eyes and sleep, I can do that. It is my money that I wasted, not his.” She wrote

The woman also addressed negative comments directed at her online, urging people to show empathy instead of judgment.

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has released a series of intense posts on her Instagram Story, accusing her estranged husband, Ned Nwoko, of trying to destroy her reputation.

In an emotional outburst, Regina claimed that she has been fighting for her freedom since being trapped in the relationship from age 17.

She alleged that Ned is attempting to ruin her because he knows that in my part of the world, a good reputation equals money.

The actress made several serious accusations, including claims that Nwoko introduced her to the drug ecstasy (Molly) during their marriage.

According to her, it was encouraged to help her satisfy him sexually, further alleging that this dynamic contributed to what she described as distressing and unwanted situations during intimacy.

Regina also claimed that Nwoko frequently used Viagra, which she says resulted in repeated blood pressure complications that required hospital visits.

Adding that Ned attempted to use a fake drug report to discredit her in what she suggests may be a looming custody battle over their children.

She claimed that members of his inner circle had been calling her a drug addict, and she believes the accusations are meant to sabotage her image.

Throughout the posts, Regina described feeling pressured, monitored, and overwhelmed, saying the situation has left her feeling mentally suffocated.

She also warned that if the alleged attacks on her character continue, she may reveal more information about him, referencing unverified allegations involving murder case, land grabbing, and fraud.

Regina ended the posts by urging Ned Nwoko to move on by marrying a new wife.

Regina Daniels’ brother, Sweezzy, has made a series of explosive allegations against her husband, Ned Nwoko, in a lengthy Instagram post.

The claims, which span alleged forgery, document manipulation, drug accusations, and domestic issues, have sparked widespread reaction online.

In the viral Instagram post, Sweezzy accused Nwoko of falsifying multiple documents, including what he described as a fake doctor’s report, a fake marriage certificate, and a fake voter’s card.

He further alleged that the voter’s card the senator had posted online to clarify Regina’s age, was printed in Ned Nwoko’s sitting room at Ugboko.

Adding that only Regina’s voter card carries his family name, Daniels, while every other document carries ‘Ojeogwu’.

Sweezzy also claimed that Regina never went with Nwoko to any marriage registry and warned him against posting what he called a fabricated marriage certificate online.

The actor’s brother went on to restate that Regina was born on October 10, 2001, insisting that older documents would prevail as evidence in any legal context.

In another set of allegations, Sweezzy accused Nwoko of abusing Regina and using his long-reported health issues as a tactic to apologise.

“Your kidney failure has been your technique for always saying sorry to Regina after abusing her in your home” He said. Adding that Regina had supposedly told him that Nwoko blackmailed her with [his] illness.

He also denied claims that he or his siblings had ever been involved in cocaine use or supply, describing such accusations as ridiculously outrageous.

Paystack, the Stripe-owned Nigerian payments company, has suspended its co-founder and chief technology officer, Ezra Olubi, following allegations of sexual misconduct involving a subordinate.

The allegation surfaced on social media on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, prompting swift public scrutiny.

The company confirmed the suspension to TechCabal, stating it has opened a formal investigation.

“Paystack is aware of the allegations involving our Co-founder, Ezra Olubi. We take matters of this nature extremely seriously. Effective immediately, Ezra has been suspended from all duties and responsibilities pending the outcome of a formal investigation.” The company said in a statement.

Paystack added that, out of respect for the individuals involved and to protect the integrity of the process, they will not comment further until the investigation is complete.

The allegation has also renewed attention on several decade-old tweets posted by Olubi between 2009 and 2013, many of which contain sexually explicit content, references to colleagues, and comments involving minors and sexualized anime characters.

In one resurfaced tweet from May 23, 2011, he wrote, “Monday will be more fun with an ‘a’ in it. Touch a coworker today. Inappropriately.”

The tweets, written years before he co-founded Paystack, re-emerged on Thursday and spread rapidly across X, intensifying scrutiny as the company proceeds with its investigation.

Olubi has not publicly addressed the tweets or the misconduct allegation; rather, he deactivated his X account on Thursday, November 13, 2025.

The resurfaced posts come at a time when Africa’s tech ecosystem has been increasingly forced to confront allegations of workplace misconduct among sector leaders.

Paystack is widely regarded as one of the most influential technology companies in Africa.

Launched in 2015, it became one of Y Combinator’s early African investments and was acquired by Stripe in 2020 for $200 million, one of the continent’s landmark exits.

Its alumni network has since seeded new ventures in logistics, fintech, and financial infrastructure across the region.

Cardi B has welcomed her fourth child and her first with boyfriend Stefon Diggs, the rapper confirmed on Instagram on November 13.

The Grammy winner announced the news with a video of herself lip-syncing to ‘Hello,’ a track from her album Am I The Drama?.

A new baby into my world, and one more reason to be the best version of me… I’ve learned, I’ve healed, and I’m loving the woman I’ve become!”

Shortly after, Cardi shared an Instagram Story showing pink and floral strollers, teasing followers before clarifying that the baby is a boy. “I just like girly things!” she joked, noting that Diggs had already revealed their son’s gender.

Cardi first disclosed her pregnancy in September during an interview with Gayle King on CBS Mornings, saying she felt happy, strong, and powerful while balancing motherhood, music, and work.

The rapper is already mom to three children with estranged husband Offset, daughter Kulture Kiari, 7; son Wave Set, 3; and daughter Blossom, now 15 months old.

Cardi filed for divorce in July 2024, with proceedings still underway.

Cardi and Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs took their relationship public in May 2025 during a Boston Knicks vs. New York Celtics game, though reports connected them as early as October 2024.

Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday, explaining that the project will run from Saturday, November 15, 2025, to Wednesday, July 15, 2026.

He appealed to motorists and residents to remain patient and cooperate with traffic officers, emphasizing that the state government is committed to providing durable and efficient road infrastructure.

“Motorists heading toward Lekki and Ajah will continue to have access throughout the construction. When the first lane is completed, work will shift to the second.

A Nigerian teacher’s candid story about a humbling encounter with a pupil at Chrisland School, VGC, Lagos, has gone viral on X (Twitter).

In the now-viral post, the teacher narrated how he took up a temporary teaching gig at the elite Lagos school during summer classes only to be confronted with several moments of culture shock.

According to him, one of the most unforgettable incidents occurred after a class session when a young pupil, estimated to be between 8 and 11 years old, innocently asked where he had parked his car.

The teacher said he was left speechless and deeply humbled, adding that he waited for the pupils to enter the swimming hall before leaving the school to avoid further embarrassment.

“A female pupil (maybe around 8–11 years old), who was on her way to the swimming hall, walked up to me with two of her classmates and asked, “Where did you park your car?” Faking a smile, I replied in a shaky voice, “I don’t have a car.” Looking surprised, she asked, “Why don’t you have a car?” At that point, honestly, I wished rapture would just happen and take me away. I laughed awkwardly and said, “Nothing, I just don’t have a car.” She laughed and said, “That’s weird, my cousin has a car and he’s just 17.” Then she walked away giggling with her friends. I stood there, humbled and still in shock. I brought out my phone, pretending to want to make a call (I would call a car dealer at that moment if I had the money) but I was really just waiting for them to enter the swimming hall before I left. Because if that girl saw me again or asked one more question, I might’ve burst into tears.” He wrote

He concluded the post with the saying, All fingers are not equal, admitting that although he laughed it off, the experience made him rethink his life choices and circumstances.

Mohbad’s family bars Wunmi from using the ‘Aloba’ surname pending the DNA result

The family of late Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa ‘Mohbad‘ Aloba has renewed its call for a transparent investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death, while instructing his widow, Wunmi, to stop using the Aloba surname until a court-ordered DNA test confirms her son’s paternity.

In a statement jointly signed by family head Omolayo Aloba and Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba, the family reaffirmed its commitment to pursuing a transparent, independent, and comprehensive investigation into the singer’s death.

The statement also announced Oladayo Ogungbe, Esq. as the family’s sole legal representative for all estate and DNA-related matters, while Dr. Wahab Shittu, SAN will continue to represent them before investigative authorities.

Additionally, three administrators Ajewole Aloba, Rasaq Famuyiwa, and Alonge Aloba were appointed to manage Mohbad’s assets.

One administrative position, the family noted, will be reserved for Wunmi if the DNA test confirms that her son, Liam, is Mohbad’s biological child.

The family directed Wunmi to cease using the surname Aloba in public or private records until lawful confirmation of paternity is obtained, adding that no statutory or customary marriage existed between Mohbad and Wunmi Adebanjo.

According to the statement, if the DNA result establishes that Liam is indeed Mohbad’s son, both Wunmi and the child will be formally recognized in the ongoing estate administration process.

Mohbad, who died on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27, has yet to be buried more than a year later as his family continues to demand justice and clarity over the circumstances of his untimely passing.

Human rights activist and publisher of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore has accused Senator Ned Nwoko of marrying popular Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, while she was still a teenager, contradicts the senator’s recent statement that she was 21 at the time of their marriage.

In a post shared on his verified X (Twitter) handle, Sowore alleged that evidence now in the public domain shows that Nwoko entered into marriage with Regina when she was underage, and that the couple travelled abroad soon after she turned 18.

The activist further claimed that Ned Nwoko personally handled Regina’s travel documentation for the trip, citing accounts from those familiar with the matter.

Sowore also accused the Delta North senator of using his wealth and political influence to intimidate critics, including members of his estranged wife’s family, through the Nigeria Police Force.

“Ned Nwoko personally handled her travel documentation for that trip, according to accounts from those familiar with the matter. The same senator, long known for flaunting wealth and influence, has frequently used the now disgraced Nigeria Police Force to intimidate and detain members of his estranged wife’s family and others speaking against his well-documented impunity. This pattern of harassment must stop.“ He wrote

Businessman and politician Ned Nwoko has publicly denied allegations by his wife, Regina Daniels, that he married her when she was 17.

In a statement shared via his official X (Twitter) account, he described the claim as entirely untrue and misleading, insisting that Regina was 21 at the time of their marriage.

According to Nwoko, he has kept a copy of the voter’s card since their first meeting and added that a BBC interview granted by Regina’s mother after the marriage also confirmed her age.

“For clarity, during my first meeting with Regina, I asked her age, and she told me she was 21 years old. I further asked if she had any documents to support this, and she presented her INEC voter’s card, which clearly shows that she was born on October 10th, 1998. I informed her that I would keep this document in my possession, and I have done so since that day. I have also seen a BBC interview with her mom granted after our marriage regarding her age. According to all verifiable records, our marriage took place six years ago, which means Regina is 27 years old today.” He wrote

The politician also urged the public to treat Regina’s recent claims with caution, citing her current mental condition and ongoing struggle with drug addiction.

Laila Nwoko denies receiving money from co-wife, alleges drug and alc()hol ab#se

Tensions appear to be escalating in the Nwoko household as Laila Nwoko, one of the wives of billionaire politician Ned Nwoko, has publicly refuted claims made by her co-wife, Regina Daniels, that she ever gave her money.

In a strongly worded Instagram post, Laila stated that she is well provided for by her husband and challenged Regina to make their financial dealings public.

Laila went further to accuse the Nollywood actress of being a negative influence within the family, alleging that Regina struggles with drug and alcohol addiction, habits she claimed her husband strongly disapproves of.

According to Laila, Regina once introduced her to drugs six years ago, nearly destroying her marriage before her husband intervened.

“You also know that my husband completely hates alcohol, drugs, and smoking. He has always been clear that he would never accept any wife who drinks, smokes, or uses drugs. The only reason you are fighting my husband is because he wants you to stop your drug and alcohol addiction. It has always been a serious matter for him, as he neither smokes nor drinks himself.

You know too well that I almost lost my marriage when you introduced me to drugs 6 years ago and it was my husband’s quick insistence on intervention that rescued me from that dark path. You have been a bad influence since you married into this beautiful family giving drugs to nannies and our workers including your younger sister Destiny. You infected everyone with your virus and this is why I will not trust my daughters around you unsupervised especially when I found out that you were sleeping with every single girl around you.” She wrote

She also accused the actress of influencing domestic staff and family members with similar behavior.

A mother-and-daughter duo have stirred reactions online after publicly calling out Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo, urging her to confess everything she allegedly knows about the death of late singer Mohbad.

In a viral video shared on their TikTok page, ‘@mummyanddaughter’, the pair claimed they were acting on divine instruction, saying that God directed them to deliver a warning to the actress.

According to them, Iyabo’s failure to speak the truth could attract serious consequences.

Quoting several Bible passages, the duo said;

“The Lord showed us that something very terrible is coming on you very soon. Because we love you, and if we don’t tell you, we’ll be blamed, that is why we are here today. God showed us to tell her to share the truth and confess everything she knows about Mohbad’s death.”

They insisted that their message was not meant to attack the actress but to encourage her to make peace with God by revealing the truth about Mohbad’s mysterious death.

The pair also referenced an earlier prophecy they reportedly made in 2024 concerning actress Regina Daniels, which they claim later came to pass.

The video has since sparked widespread debate across social media with the majority dismissing their claims as attention-seeking and false.

As of the time of filing this report, Iyabo Ojo has not publicly responded to the allegations.

A late-night altercation reportedly broke out on a Nollywood movie set involving actors Taye Arimoro and Peggy Ovire, with both sides sharing conflicting accounts of what transpired.

In a viral live video shared by Taye Arimoro, the actor alleged that the misunderstanding began after he attempted to leave the movie location past his agreed contract time.

According to him, his call time for the next day was 10 a.m., and his contract for that night was meant to end by 11 p.m.

Taye Arimoro further claimed that as tensions escalated, he was assaulted by members of the production team, sustaining injuries to his gum and lips.

He also alleged that his car tires were deflated during the confrontation, preventing him from leaving the location.

However, Peggy Ovire disputed the claims, accusing Arimoro of physically assaulting her driver during the incident.

She alleged that the driver was left bleeding from the ear and has since received medical attention.

Both parties have since shared video evidence supporting their respective claims, intensifying public debate about the incident.

The clash, which reportedly occurred during a shoot that extended past midnight, has drawn attention to concerns within Nollywood regarding working conditions, and extended production hours.

Below are some of the comments;

“WTF. how! What’s all this violence on set this days. If u can’t be civil why be in a public place. This is sad.”

“I absolutely condemn how Taye Arimoro was treated. It is totally unacceptable. Forcing him to shoot two more scenes at midnight? Even if you had accommodation for him, most likely NOT!!! His safety? An Actor in the capacity of EP/Producer as well? It is very unacceptable.”

“This is really bad, he should also tell us what really happened because the story is not clear.”

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Beauty Tukura has shared a deeply emotional account of her struggles following her disqualification from the reality TV show three years ago, describing the period as one of the darkest times in her life.

In a candid reflection, the ex-beauty queen revealed that the intense backlash she faced on social media, particularly on Twitter, left her feeling hopeless and misunderstood.

According to her, the criticism was so overwhelming that she felt as though viewers wanted to crucify her, leaving little room for empathy or forgiveness.

She recalled how she avoided contact with her parents despite their efforts to reach out, because the shame was unbearable, but her parents kept sending her messages of love and support.

Beauty went on to disclose that the cyberbullying and judgment pushed her to a dark mental space where she contemplated ending her life.

The constant negative comments from people who only knew her through the show deepened her feelings of despair and isolation.

However, the reality star expressed gratitude to her fans who stood by her through the ordeal. She said their messages of encouragement and kindness gave her the strength to keep going when she felt lost.

While she described her disqualification as the lowest point of her journey, Beauty said it also became the beginning of her emotional recovery and self-discovery.

“Don’t marry a man just because you’re pregnant, you’ll regret it” – Actress Judy Austin warns against early marriage (WATCH)

Nollywood actress Judy Austin has cautioned young women against rushing into marriage, especially due to pregnancy or societal pressure, warning that early marriage has left many people emotionally and mentally scarred.

During a recent TikTok live session, the actress urged her followers to make thoughtful, mature decisions before committing to marriage.

According to her, many young women enter relationships they are not mentally ready for, leading to regret and lifelong struggles.

Judy Austin stressed the importance of self-development and emotional maturity before settling down, noting that individuals must understand themselves and their partners before taking such a serious step.

The actress went on to lament how early marriages have damaged a lot of people, adding that many individuals are burdened with responsibilities they were not prepared for.

She said “The first question you should ask yourself is, Can I spend the rest of my life with this guy? The way this guy is behaving, will I be able to love him, be committed to him, grow with him, and yield with him? You can’t make that decision if you’re still a child.

You can’t make that decision if you’re not mentally ready for that kind of relationship Date people, learn people, understand that you can’t trust anybody except yourself and God. You need to show up for yourself before you expect anyone else to show up for you. So many people are damaged today because of early marriage. So many people have baggage because of it. So many are divorced or struggling to take care of children they weren’t ready for”

Judy Austin concluded by encouraging her fans to focus on growth, prayer, and preparation before marriage to avoid regrets in the future.

Award-winning Nigerian singer Tiwatope Omolara Savage, popularly known as Tiwa Savage, has addressed the viral reactions trailing her earlier comments about being open to becoming a second wife.

In a recent interview, the 45-year-old music star clarified that her statement was made out of frustration and emotional exhaustion, not a genuine desire to marry someone already in a relationship.

Reflecting on her past experiences, Tiwa said her earlier comment stemmed from heartbreak and disappointment in love.

“I was a first wife, where did that get me? I got married as the only wife, but here we are. I’m tired of being heartbroken; maybe I’m getting it wrong. Maybe I should try being a second wife. It’s not my choice, though. I don’t want to. I wish I could tell my truth, but I will be dragged. I don’t want to be, I’m looking for love. Let’s just leave it at that.” She said

The singer, however, made it clear that she does not truly want to be a second wife, emphasizing that what she really desires is genuine love and peace of mind.

Tiwa Savage was previously married to music executive Tunji Balogun, popularly known as TeeBillz.

The couple tied the knot in 2013 and share a son together. Their marriage ended in 2018 after public allegations of infidelity and emotional challenges from both sides.
