“God loves you more than He hates divorce. Don’t go and die there” – Chartered accountant, Oluwatosin Olaseinde advises women

A Nigerian accountant, Oluwatosin Olaseinde, has opined that a marriage that ends in divorce is better than one that is filled with domestic violence.

Sharing on the microblogging platform, Twitter, Oluwatosin stated that as a Christian it was important to understand that even though God frowned against divorce, he would not want people to die in abusive marriages either.

According to her, marriage was a huge deal in this part of the world and for a Nigerian woman to dump you, it simply means she has had enough.

She wrote;

“A lot of people ask me that as a Christian why am I vocal about divorce. I am vocal about it because God loves you more than he hates divorce. Don’t go and die there. Once they strangle you during an argument. There’s stats to show that the chances of him killing you is high.

Of course nobody is advocating for divorce over minor things. And before a Nigerian woman divorces you. Trust me she has tried. Marriage is a social capital here. People respect married women. It’s a thing of pride. Let’s not lie. Also the cultural impact.

So for someone to dump all that advantage. Haaa she has seen things. Also this is NOT the case 100% of the time but in a lot of cases yes it is. Pls if you’re looking for support system reach out. Don’t go and die there plsss”

“Stop using poor Mary’s name to gain attention, okay? Marriage is not a matter of life or death. If you are fortunate to still be the one and only wife to the man of your youth, that’s okay. But if Yul no longer wants the wife of his youth, please let the guy be. However, if there are evil influences over him, there is still a living God. Since both of them have chosen to be quiet, let Judy enjoy her time with Yul. Until then, let’s all hold our breath,” the user wrote.

“If she can’t submit to you, tell her another wife is coming” – Nigerian journalist advises men

Popular Nigerian journalist and publisher, Ogar Solomon has advised men on an unconventional way to get their wives to be submissive.

Solomon, in a Facebook post on Friday, May 26, told men whose wives do not submit to them to tell them that another wife is coming.

Solomon acknowledged that it is perfectly fine for men to love their partners wholeheartedly and to be open and vulnerable with them, as long as they are blessed with a good woman.

However, he cautioned against weakness in men, as it can lead their wives to adopt a feminist mindset. According to Solomon, a weak man is more likely to face challenges in maintaining his authority within the marriage.

His words, 

“Dear Men, there’s nothing wrong with loving your woman with reckless abandon. It’s okay to be vulnerable around her as long as you have a good woman with you,” he said in a Facebook post on Friday, May 26.
 
“But stop being weak. Once a man is weak, there’s a very high tendency that his wife will become a feminist. No matter how much a woman has, her husband is the prize.
 
“Be strong. A strong man is an intelligent, industrious, knowledgeable, and loveable man. More like knowing what he wants, standing by his words, and providing for the family. If she can’t submit to you, tell her another wife is coming.”

Veteran actor, Pete Edochie reacts to controversy trailing his handshake with Ooni of Ife

Veteran Nollywood star, Pete Edochie, has broken his silence following the controversy surrounding the way he greeted revered Yoruba monarch, the Ooni of Ife, at a recent event.

The thespian recently met with the Ooni of Ife at the birthday celebration of Nigerian philanthropist and wife of Nigerian oil mogul, Tein Jack-rich, Elizabeth Jack-rich.

Pete Edochie, who entered the venue in the company of his colleague, Kanayo O Kanayo, first walked to the Ooni’s table to exchange pleasantries with him.

The actor gave the traditional ruler the popular Igbo backhand handshake, which the Ooni accepted, with smiles etched on their faces.

However, this didn’t sit well with some Nigerians on social media, who averred that it was disrespectful for the 76-year-old actor to greet Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, the most powerful king in Yoruba land, with a handshake.

They pointed out that the appropriate way for Pete to have greeted the king was to bow rather than shake hands.

Coming to Pete Edochie’s defense, entrepreneur Sommy Keshi questioned why a titled Chief like Pete Edochie would bow to the Ooni.

He wrote, “High Chief for a reason, Igbo Kwenu.”

Reacting, Pete, who appears to agree with Sommy Keshi’s stance on the issue, reposted Keshi’s post defending him on his Instagram stories.

Jeff Bezos building $175M 28,000 square-foot mansion for his future wife, Lauren Sánchez (photos)

Famous billionaire and Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, has reportedly resumed construction on his $175 million home following his engagement to his girlfriend of five years, Lauren Sánchez.

According to a Daily Mail report on Thursday, May 25, workers are currently working on the roof of the expansive, three-story mega-mansion located in Beverly Hills, California.

Bezos, whose net worth is $138 billion, purchased the 10-acre estate previously owned by former Warner Bros. president Jack Warner in early 2020.

The 28,000-square-foot home features the main house, a guesthouse, a gym, a pergola, and a separate house for security.

Following his engagement to Sanchez, Bezos plans to expand the property with a new pool house, a powder room, and retaining walls.

Bezos proposed to his Emmy Award-winning journalist girlfriend aboard his $500 million superyacht, Koru, while in the South of France for the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

The news comes shortly after the couple were seen kissing and cuddling on board the superyacht over the weekend.

Sanchez, 53, was also spotted wearing an engagement ring with a huge diamond on her finger, confirming her acceptance of Bezos’ proposal.

The couple made their relationship public in January 2019 after Bezos ended his 25-year marriage to MacKenzie Scott, with whom he shares four children.

During that period, Sanchez, the former co-host of Good Day LA, was also going through a divorce from her husband of 13 years, Patrick Whitesell.

Sánchez shares two children with Whitesell and has a son from a previous relationship with former NFL star Tony Gonzalez.

“He forced me to give him ‘osiba’, which is against my tradition” – Singer, Cynthia Morgan shares encounter with veteran actor, Pete Edochie

Nigerian singer, Cynthia Morgan has shared an encounter she had with veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie in 2016.

After a video of Pete exchanging pleasantries with revered Yoruba monarch, the Ooni of Ife, surfaced online and garnered reactions, Morgan took to her Instagram page to narrate an incident where she claimed Pete forced her to do something against her tradition.

The video showed Pete Edochie shaking hands with the Ooni of Ife instead of prostrating or bowing down, as is customary in Yoruba culture.

This action by Pete Edochie received criticism on social media, with many considering it disrespectful to the king.

In response, Cynthia Morgan commended Pete for respecting the Igbo tradition during the exchange but accused him of disregarding the traditions and beliefs of other tribes.

She recounted her own experience in 2016 in Okrika, Port Harcourt, where Pete, as a titled man, allegedly forced her to give him an “osiba,” which is against her Benin tradition.

“Osiba” simply means to bend slightly in front of an elder for a pat on the back. It is a sign of respect in Benin.

She said that as a Benin lady, it is considered taboo for her to give a titled Igbo man like Pete Edochie an osiba, but she claimed that he made her do it against her will, thereby disrespecting the Benin tradition.

Cynthia Morgan noted that she hopes that Pete Edochie would learn to respect other people’s traditions as he had respected his own.

“I like the fact that Pete Edochie’s tradition is being respected today, and I hope he learns to respect other peoples’ traditions too moving forward. For example, that Benin women cannot give a common or titled Igbo man an ‘osiba’ for no just reason. Unlike when he forced me to give him an ‘osiba’ in 2016 in Okrika precisely. Cheers,” she wrote.

“Nigerians have strange food combination and rich culture” – Thabang shares experience

South African ex-contestant of the Big Brother Titans reality show, Thabang Mazibuko has expressed surprise at the unusual food combinations Nigerians eat.

Thabang who has been in Nigeria after the show ended for several weeks with other South African housemates like Tsatsi and Blue Aiva shared his experience in an interview with Hip TV.

He went on to say that he was surprised by the cultural similarities and distinctions between South Africans and Nigerians, emphasizing the rich history of Nigerian culture.

In his words;

“I learned about how rich in culture Nigeria is. I thought South Africa is a place that is rich in culture and great history but Nigeria has so many different cultures, and so many different traditions; they have a really rich history and that is something that I learned that I don’t know.

I learned about the different foods, food ethics, and the way they eat food. I found out that in Nigeria they eat popcorn with sugar and peanuts. That’s weird but okay, cool”, he said with a laugh.

The biggest takeaway is that there are a lot of similarities between us and the things that we eat. But custard I think it is the same thing but we eat it as a dessert but they [Nigerians] eat it as breakfast. That was also pretty shocking.”

“Don’t be in a hurry to leave your parents’ house” – VJ Adams advises teenagers

Popular media personality, VJ Adams has offered advice to teenagers, urging them not to rush into moving out of their parents’ homes.

According to him, the growing trend of teenagers renting their own apartments is not prudent.

VJ Adams emphasized that teenagers who have the privilege of residing in desirable areas such as Ikeja, Gbagada, Ogbudu, or central locations like Yaba and Surulere should seriously consider staying with their parents until their mid- to late-20s.

He said this would enable them to save a significant amount of money to buy a house or rent an apartment in a few years.

“Why are you in such a hurry to leave your parents’ house if you are 17 or 18?” VJ Adams was questioned.

“Think about it. In the next ten years, when you’re 27, if you save N3 million every year as if you were paying rent, that would add up to N30 million. By the time you’re ready to move out, you could purchase a house or even rent one that you can furnish to your liking.” He added.

VJ Adams also shared that he personally moved out of his parents’ house at an early age because of the nature of his job.
