Veteran Nigerian rapper, MI Abaga, and his wife, Eniola Mafe, have opened up about their struggles with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders, characterized by attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. It often begins in childhood and can persist into adulthood.
During a recent interview on Aproko Doctor podcast, the couple explained that one way they cope with ADHD is by building the habit of communicating and understanding.
Eniola revealed that she had been diagnosed with ADHD since she was 19, and that it had affected her during her school years.
“It’s not something you can just cut out. It’s actually who you are. It’s how you think, accept the world, rejection, and everything.
“It was about realizing that all the things that didn’t seem to make sense about me… it affected me in school. My inability to gather thoughts.” She said.
MI Abaga also shared his experience, saying,“For me, my childhood was just that I loved music. It was tough for me to read in class, probably because I wasn’t paying attention. If I was really interested in something like art, I would excel really well, while my schoolwork was suffering for it.”
He went on to say that he didn’t connect the dots until he was in college and realized that ADHD was a part of his journey in life.
“By the time I went to college, I figured out that the ADHD thing was me and I still couldn’t connect the two dots together. I think the first time that I really got a sense of how much it can control a person was in our relationship, when Eni would explain.
“And I googled it and it was almost like a weight off my shoulder. I can look back at some of those things differently now that it was always going to be part of my journey in life.
“To me, it’s both the thing that has given me so much, because it is where I go to like create, and at the same time, it’s the part of me that I want to understand the most,” he said.
Popular Nigerian singer, Stanley Omah Didia, known professionally as Omah Lay, has revealed that he contemplated taking his own life during his battle with depression.
The ‘Soso’ singer made this revelation during a recent interview with H Steph, while speaking on his mental health struggles and how he incorporates his battle with depression into his music.
Omah Lay said he was in a really bad place at the time and considered committing suicide to end his suffering once and far all.
He, however, stated that it was imperative for him to go through that dark stage so he can help other depressed people overcome depression.
The 25-year-old singer said,
“I was at the verge of…I was suicidal, mahn. Trust me, I was really fcked up. But I think I have to be there to actually help the people who are there right now to get out of that place.
I mean it will take a real person like me to go there and then make music out of it and talk about it so openly how I’m a mess, how I think and how I’m fcked up and everything.
“I’m not sure you will find afrobeats artists who do that right now. Everybody is out there saying afrobeats are not so deep, ‘afrobeats are just vibes and sh*t’. Nah. That’s why everybody is just doing hype. The real music is dying.”
A young Nigerian lady has caused a huge stir on social media after she revealed the alarming number of men she has slept with.
The 18-year-old girl, identified simply as Bright, revealed in an interview with a content creator that she has had 15 sexual partners so far.
A video making rounds online shows the lady and her two friends being interviewed by the poolside where they went to have fun.
The other ladies, aged 19 and 17, who admitted that they are also not virgins, said they have eight and seven body counts respectively.
When asked what they would like if their requests were to be granted, Bright expressed her desire for a Samsung Galaxy S7, while the other two ladies stated that they would like an iPhone and a car.
The video has since gone viral online and sparked a barrage of criticisms on social media, with many berating the secondary school graduates for their shocking sexual experiences.
@iam_temmy wrote, “Somebody’s future wife has 15 body counts at age 18. When she is 27, only God knows what it’d be.”
@northerner0 wrote, “Their body count is beyond 5 men each at the age of 19,17 and 18. But when a Hausa/Fulani girl is getting married at that same range of age is child abuse, hypocrites! If the body count is up to that numbers? Only God knows numbers of abortions….”
However, some netizens opined that the ladies might not have understood the meaning of “body count” and just gave random numbers.
@fowobioflagos wrote, “Don’t get it twisted these girls might not know the meaning of “body count” so think about it before you yarn rubbish from your mouth.”

Big Brother Naija season 7 winner, Phyna has claimed that a large percentage of deaths in general hospitals in Nigeria are caused by the nonchalant attitudes of the workers.
The actress and content creator took to Twitter to raise this alarm after her harrowing experience with the nurses at a Government-owned hospital recently.
According to the Edo-born star, 80% of the deaths in general hospitals around the country could have been avoided if the health workers performed their duties properly.
Phyna tweeted on Tuesday, May 9,
“I doubt it’s all general hospitals, but I hereby say some nurses in general hospitals needs to be flogged and sacked. 80% of death in general hospitals are caused by the workers. On top this very thing I fit swear for anybody wey come for me.

Nollywood actor, Ken Erics, has broken his silence after an engagement video of himself and Mr. Ibu’s daughter, Jasmine, went viral on social media a few days ago.
Jasmine, who divorced her husband of nine months in November 2022, had set the internet buzzing over the weekend after she posted a clip of the romantic moment Ken Erics proposed to her.
Not stopping there, she also took to her Instagram stories to gush over the actor, pledging to spend forever with him, which made many believe that they were indeed engaged.
However, finally breaking his silence, Ken Erics, via a post on his Instagram page moments ago, revealed that the engagement video was from an upcoming movie.
Sharing the video on his own Instagram page, Ken Erics, in his caption, revealed that it was a scene from an upcoming movie titled “Test Of Love.”
“Being Ken On set “Test Of Love” @ruby_ojiakor @ladyjasminec….Coming Soon ,” he captioned the video.
His revelation has stirred a barrage of reactions from social media users who opined that it was unnecessary to create awareness for the movie in that manner.
“Thank you, Jesus oh… not engagement actually… bco our Ken is for Rachel Okonkwo,” a fan wrote.
“Ken has cleared the air, smart guy ,” another fan added.
Nigerian billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola has opened up on his relationship with businessman, Tony Elumelu, and how he betrayed him on two occasions.
The oil mogul shared details of how Tony Elumelu stabbed him in the back in a statement released recently amid his recent scramble for the ownership of Transcorp with the Heirs Holding Chairman.
Femi spoke extensively about his Transcorp shares deal and why he offered to buy the company for N250 million, which was turned down.
Read his full statement below…
“In 2005, while Tony was the Managing Director of Standard Trust Bank he approached me to get funds to acquire UBA. I enthusiastically gave him $20million, which was N2 billion at that time to buy the necessary shares in UBA for the acquisition. After a short period of time the share price moved up and I decided it is was a good moment to sell and get out of the bank. However, Tony appealed to me to hold on to the shares as he was convinced that there were future prospects – so I kept the shares.
I became Chairman of Transcorp Hotel in 2007 with a shareholding of 5% and unknowingly Tony gradually started buying shares quietly.
By the following year in 2008 I went bankrupt in Nigeria. Tony proceeded to take my shares in UBA to service the interest on my loans and he also took over my shares in Africa Finance Corporation, where I was the largest shareholder.
Shortly after, Albert Okumagba informed me that an American firm wanted to acquire my shares in Transcorp, which I then agreed to sell. However, this supposed American firm turned out to be Tony Elumelu. The revelation of this prompted me to resign as Chairman of the hotel.
Years later in 2012 Tony said he wanted to see me so we met in my office where I had previously had a meeting with foreign investors who had not yet departed the premises. Curious to know, he asked what sort of meeting I had had and I disclosed that I wanted to go into the power business, specifically Ughelli Power Plant. Tony quietly went ahead to bid for Ughelli and he outbidded me by offering to buy the plant for $300m.
And as a some would say: the rest is history.
Fast forward to the present..
I offered to buy Transcorp Plc for N250 billion, but unfortunately, my offer was rejected. My goal was to maximize the company’s potential as a Nigerian conglomerate with a market cap of at least N2 trillion instead of the current N40 billion, but it seems some shareholders have a different vision.
As a businessman, I believe in healthy competition and market dynamics. Two captains cannot man a ship, and I respect the majority shareholder’s decision to buy me out. This is the nature of the game.
But let me be clear: my offer was made with the best intentions for Transcorp Plc and its shareholders. I saw an opportunity to unlock the company’s full potential and create value for everyone involved.
It’s important for investors to understand that free entry and free exit are crucial to healthy markets. The scramble for shares after my acquisition is a testament to the value that Transcorp Plc can offer, and I hope the company continues to thrive under new leadership.
My message to Transcorp Plc and its shareholders is this: I remain committed to the growth and success of Nigerian businesses, and I will always be looking for ways to create value for all stakeholders. Stakeholders are unfortunately always shortchanged by getting stipends while the owners and managers of the business live a jet set lifestyle, which is detrimental to the stakeholders. Thank you for the opportunity to engage in this exciting chapter of Transcorp’s history.

Nollywood actress, Rita Edochie, has assured her junior colleague and nephew, actor Yul Edochie’s wife, May, that her place is secured in their family.
This comes amid the ongoing brouhaha in the Edochie family after Yul’s second wife, Judy Austin, shared a Thanksgiving video just a few weeks after the death of her husband’s first son with May.
In the video, Judy bragged about God’s love for her, how he always fights her battles, and thanked him for helping her during childbirth.
This did not sit well with many, who accused her of being insensitive for sharing the video at a time when May is still mourning the death of her son.
Amid the social media frenzy, Rita took to her Instagram page to assure May that she is the main wife of her husband, and that she is not competing with anyone.

A 23-year-old woman on Tuesday told an Ikeja Sexual Offences and Domestic Violence Court in Lagos, how a popular Lagos-based Bishop, Daniel Oluwafeyiropo, allegedly sexually abused her twice.
Bishop Daniel, the founder of I Reign Christian Ministry is standing trial on an amended three-count charge bordering on rape and sexual assault, to which he pleaded not guilty.
He was alleged to have committed the offence sometimes in June 2020 at Flat 4, Road 2, House 18 Ikota Villa Estate, Lekki, Lagos.
The 23-year-old woman (name withheld), who is an assistant pastor at his church, testified for the prosecution at the bishop’s trial on Tuesday, May 9th.
She told Justice Ramon Oshodi that she was abused twice by the Bishop in his residence.
The witness said she knew the bishop on May 28, 2018, when her friend invited her to a church programme where the bishop ministered at Akungba, Akoko, Ondo State.
She said she became member of the church in Akungba and rose to the position of assistant pastor.
She told the court that the Bishop, she regarded as her spiritual father abused her sexually at his residence on Flat 4, Road 2, House 18 at Ikota Villa Estate, Lekki, Lagos on June 21, 2020.
Recounting the incident, she said,
“I was listening to Pastor Chris’ message when bishop came to the three-seater sofa, I was sitting on. He told me to go naked for the third time, but due to the fear of what happened a day before, I went naked. The bishop locked the door, increased the volume of the television and he went naked too.
“He squeezed and pinned me to the chair and sexually abused me. He was bigger than me, so I was bleeding from my private part. I pleaded with him, but he did not listen.
“When I told him of the bleeding, he said he knew that I should shut up. He then directed me to go and wash up. He collected my phone and cleaned the blood before I came out of the bedroom. He threatened that if I tell anybody, I will run mad. So, I was in the guest room till the following day.
“On June 22, I sent a message to pastor Boluwatishe and told him through a WhatsApp code, which we usually chat, that I had been violated.”
She continued that Bishop did not allow her go out of the house after the first alleged sexual encounter with him.
“He sent the gateman instead anytime I needed anything. It was at this time that it was dawn on me that this man is a rapist. So, for my safety, I was acting stupid and acted like I did not tell anyone.
“I was in the room when he came to me again and said he wanted to have sex but I refused. He was very angry, so I told him I had bruises on my private part from the previous sexual violation.
“I was coming out from the room to the kitchen, on June 23, when he came out of his room too, wrapping a towel and said he wanted to have sex with me. He said I should count it as a privilege that he violated me because many people would love to have sex with him, but I told him I have someone I am dating that he is not attracted to me.
“In the living room on that same morning of June 23, he took off my dress and raped me again. He told me I would die if I told anyone. I bled the second time because of the forceful entry.” She added.
She further testified that the Bishop had earlier made a phone call to her on June 5, 2020, asking her and some other pastors to come to his house in Lagos.
“On June 19, when I got to the house, the Bishop came out from the room, saying that I have a query to answer. He said the punishment for me was to transcribe his message titled, ‘Fulfilling my Ministry.’
“The following day on June 20, only the Bishop and I were left in the house after others pastors had left. He told me to go on a three-hour prayer work around the estate, but I came back home 30 minutes prior to the elapse of the prayer hours due to a heavy downpour.
“So, he queried why I came back to the house earlier. I told him it was due to the heavy downpour. When I entered the guest room where I used to sleep, I met one Sister Jummy, who was also a church member. She was about taking her leave when I came inside the room.
“I was seated on the couch that same day, listening to pastor Chris message when the Bishop walked up to me from the dining section and made comments on the teaching I was listening to.
“He ordered me to go naked again, which I did for the fear of what had happened prior because the bishop accused me of not being submissive and loyal to him as my spiritual father.
“He said he wanted to know my loyalty and see if I have finally submitted to him. I told him I could do anything for him but sex. He tried kissing me and I stopped him, then he slapped me.
“His eyes turned literal red, he was shouting, and I was already in tears as the slap was a very hot one. He started telling me how he had thought me about honour and said that an angel came to him a night before and urged him to ask me to go naked.” She said.
She said the Bishop told her that an angel was going to test her to go naked and that she needed to prove the angel wrong by fully submitting to him.
“He said he liked his wife so much that he could never have sex with me. He was in tears and said that I could not submit to him. So, he ordered me to put on my clothes. I started begging him, but he said that I had disappointed him.”
She further told the court that after the Bishop allegedly had sex with her the second time, he came back begging her.
She also told the court that the Bishop sent her the sum of N5,000 while he was in Ghana to treat herself after the bruises she sustained turned to boils, and she could no longer urinate.
After listening to her testimony, Justice Oshodi adjourned the case to May 24, 2023, for cross-examination and continuation of the trial.

She was eventually rushed to a private hospital and the doctor on duty administered diclofenac injection. Situation got worse and she was referred to Federal medical center where they diagnosed that she had internal bleeding and needed urgent operation.
This beautiful young lady didn’t make it after the operation.

It’s no secret that the recently concluded election in Nigeria was not free and fair, with multiple reports of electoral violence, thuggery, tribalism, and rigging in various states.
During the governorship and state assembly elections last Saturday, the majority of Igbos in Lagos state were denied the right to vote and were turned away by thugs who infiltrated various polling units.
Reacting to the rather heartbreaking event, Etinosa, in an Instastory post, related the issue of tribalism to racism experienced by blacks outside the country.
The mother of one stated that no Nigerian should ever complain about suffering racism abroad because they are no different from racist folks.

A 25-year-old electrician, Akonede Adekunle has been detained and accused of assaulting Miss Endurance Abah, his girlfriend because she cheated on him.
On Tuesday, May 9, 2023, he was charged and appeared before an Upper Area Court in New Karu, Nasarawa State.
Adekunle, a resident of One Man Village in Nasarawa, was accused of employing criminal force, assault, causing great bodily harm, and intimidation on four separate occasions.

A Nigerian man identified as Seriki has stirred reactions online after stating that a family guy does not have to make a ridiculous amount of money each month.
The counselor stated on his Twitter page that a guy may start a family earning just N100,000 (Hundred Thousand Naira) every month.
Seriki emphasized that as long as the guy does not overspend, the standard may be maintained.
He wrote;
“100k salary is enough to start a family if you don’t live above your means.
You plan based on what you earn. Una wan dey live life of dorime.
In Abuja all you’ll do is look for location that are affordable, you must not live in the High class areas.”
Reacting to his opinion, Bigbrovar wrote; “Outside of this twitter bubble. The stats states that a vast majority of Nigerian family don’t even make up to 100k a month. We are talking family income.
Heck majority would consider themselves rich to make 100k a month. Minimum wage is fucking 30k a month.

Media personality, Uncle Nasco has reacted to the level of criticism Judy Austin has been receiving over a video she shared online.
Sharing a video online, he bashed Nigerians for their double standards in supporting Regina Daniels despite her husband having other wives before her but refused to show understanding to Judy Austin who he claimed was in the same situation.
According to him, Judy Austin should be left alone to do what she wanted without criticism.
He also added that May Edochie should file for divorce if she was no longer interested in the marriage instead of setting up her husband up for drags with her silence and saintly behavior.
Reacting to the video, an Instagram user wrote;
“Anyone who sees Regina and Judy’s case as same is mental and has no business to live amongst we humans
A well known polygamous man who still went through the right corners to get married to Regina before impregnating her
With a well know nuclear family man who went outside his matrimonial home to impregnate another lady and married her without notifying the wife
His wife had to find out on social media like we all found out

Well, Angel has now taken to her Instagram stories to give her critics, especially fellow celebrities criticizing her, a piece of her mind. She told them to leave her alone and stop being “agbayas.”
“Sometimes I just have to laugh at y’all. You would think after I called them coco felons, it would have been given away as a joke, but the country is hard, I guess, bite your lips and talk your shit.
“You guys love to pick a token person to bully, and you self-righteous public figures will pile on because you want to appeal to the public and be a good person so bad. I have nothing but respect for people in the industry, but please don’t look for my mouth. Thank you,” she wrote in part.

A Nigerian lady, Praise Oghre, has recounted how she abruptly ended an all-expenses-paid trip in Maldives and returned to Nigeria after the man she traveled with made an obscene request.
Praise had reluctantly agreed to go on the trip with the man, who begged her to keep him company. However, upon getting to the vacation destination, she discovered that the guy had booked the same room for both of them to sleep in, which made her uncomfortable.
Praise eventually took the next flight to Nigeria, leaving the man there, as she had only expected to keep him company and not engage in anything sexual with him.
Narrating the incident on Twitter, she emphasized that she would not give up her virginity for a vacation and that her future husband deserves better.
In her words,
“Some men can be so unreasonable; this guy begged me to go on a vacation with him to the Maldives becauseos he doesn’t have anyone to go with, though all expensewereas on y. Gettingng thereI discovered thatat wwouldll be stayinin thein same hoteroom.”om

Popular Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie’s second wife, actress Judy Austin, has spoken out for the first time after she was brutally dragged for being ‘insensitive’.
Recall that the controversial actress was heavily criticized for bragging about God’s love and thanking him for the safe delivery of her child in a video shared on her husband’s Facebook page.

She was then lambasted for being insensitive and callous for expressing intense gratitude to God for ‘constantly fighting all her battles’, among other things she mentioned in the clip.
Barely 48 hours after the video sparked outrage online, Judy took to her Instagram page to share the same video and thanked God for her life.
Judy, who is evidently unperturbed by the backlash and seems to have developed a thick skin, maintained that she is one with God and that is all that matters to her.
She captioned the clip,
“In every situation… I’ll continue to give thanks and praise to your Holy Name Jesus!!!
