“Yul and Judy are destined for each other…a real man stay where he’s loved” – Actress, Sarah Martins (Video)

Nollywood actress, Sarah Martins has addressed those still criticizing her friend, actress Judy Austin’s marriage to Yul Edochie.

In a video posted online, Sarah Martins firmly advised the couple’s detractors to embrace the fact that they are truly meant for each other and inseparable.

Emphasizing that Yul and Judy are deeply in love and complement each other, she confidently stated that a real man remains where he feels loved and accepted.

“IS ENOUGH!! It’s time y’all take a chill pill and face your family problems! Zukwanuike!! Stop judging people you do not know! Leave judgment for God almighty!

Most of you are bitter souls suffering behind closed doors ! Suffering from emotional abuse! Financial abuse! Family abuse! And most of u have never experienced true love in its truest form that’s why you re extremely bitter with the power couple that can NEVER be separated no matter how much you try!

Focus and channel this bitter energy into finding your own missing rib and leave people alone! This couple compliment each other! They re made for each other! They re destined for each other and the sooner you understand it the better for your mental health! I wasn’t there the day they met and definitely not there the day they fell in love with each other.

I saw a soul tied humans and completely fell in love with the way they compliment each other and I couldn’t help but root for their happiness. This life is too short to deny yourself of happiness! A real man stays where he feels loved and accepted!

I once had an uncle that died as a sad man. He suffered from emotional abuse. In the eyes of the world he was a happily married man but in his home he’s marriage packed up 13yrs ago but he had to sacrifice his happiness just to please gullible people and to please his children.

If he had gotten another wife or given love a chance before dying, his wife would have played the victim and the world would have criticized him for abandoning the wife of his youth. My uncle died a sad man despite being a very wealthy man.

Since then, I do not judge people especially when marriage is involved because you only get to know or see what people display for you to see. Please give these people some break! It’s enough. Na man wey wear shoe know where e dey pain am! A real man will never set ring light, position camera and start pointing out the faults or flaws of his wife.

If you can’t accept people’s decisions on their personal lives then do not judge them for the decisions they make for their own happiness. I am also a victim of emotional abuse but it won’t stop me from cheering true love on. LIVE & LET LIVE”. She wrote.

“You have done nothing for your woman if you haven’t impacted or invested in her goals” – Tega Dominic

Sharing a lengthy piece on her social media, she stated that a woman could realize that a man had done nothing for her and be absolutely right.

According to her, despite any material favors and generosity a guy may have given her, he should only feel fully satisfied if he has assisted her in making a great achievement.

She wrote;

“You can be with a woman for years and she will wake-up and say you have never done anything for her and she will be absolutely right.

Forget expensive trips and expensive shopping, if you haven’t influenced your woman’s life for all those years, or given her something to better her life, trust me you haven’t started anything.
Yes you can buy all that, travel 1st class, but you haven’t impacted or invested in her, again you haven’t started anything..
I know you’d say in this selfish and entitled generation, yes but in it still lies women with virtue who are ready to put in the work, but why would you even date an entitled fellow for years and not see it, then you don’t even know what you seek.
You’d see women spoiling their men, do you think it came from sand? He poured mightily in her financially or otherwise..
Again, focus on giving your woman a life if she doesn’t have one and is willing to have one, then live happily ever after

Same goes to the women, if you find someone with direction and not entitled, and you are in a position to fill in the gab and raise him, then do it, you’d be happy you did. Women also sponsor men although they are sm but as long as he med you happy At a time in your life or makes you happy, then go ahead and lift that man, and live happily ever after.
The owners of the msg will get it, stop working yourself up if you believe in the msg.. no be me do you.”

#AMVCA is not for shallow minds to understand. How I choose to express myself through Art &
Fashion is not for the pleasure of malnourished cesspool inhabitans. This my AMVCA outfit took over
“720” hrs to complete and yes it cost an Arm and a Leg. I’m really sick and tired of you guys insulting me every year but I have no intention to stop because I wasn’t born to be ordinary like your sorry a$$es.

If you guys can accept unique Nigerians like
Speed Darlington and Portable, why can’t you accept me?
Aren’t you people tired of insulting me everyday?
I woke up to insults everywhere; my comment section, my DMs, blogs…
Why can’t you guys just accept that I love to be uniquely different?

Some of you have gone ahead to say I’m Tiannah’s Lab Rat, no I’m not. What I ask for is exactly what I get.
Some of you even I insinuate she styles me free of charge, no she doesn’t. Yes she gives me a discount, but what I pay still runs into millions.
These Looks are not cheap or free.

For the sake of your mental well-being I’m appealing to Ya’ll to accept me as I am, because I’m going to be here for a long time and I have no intention to change.
I was born to be different. People who knew me growing up will tell you free of charge, that you could easily spot me in the crowd because I 1 always stood out.

Some of you are asking
“How she go take siddon?”
Has it occurred to you that I’m
I not out of shape and I unhealthy like most of you calling me names? I am fit and healthy, I could stand all
day.
Aside that, my outfit is a Transformer, so I could easily change into the 2nd part of it and sit if sitting was my problem in life.
Why una dey drink paracetamol for my headache?

Honestly I just feel like some Nigerians just hate me cos you guys stay trolling me. I never do right in your eyes – not that I care cos una no dey feed me.
It’s sad because I’m actually a very intelligent and passionate young
I person. From my ( businesses to my other endeavours, you could easily tell that I am a breath of fresh air, but LasLas una wan choke for my matter. Make una I continue shaa. I promise to keep leaving you breathless for as long as I can.”

UK set to ban Nigerian students, others from relocating with families

The United Kingdom has made plans to implement new regulations that will likely make it impossible for Nigerian students and other foreign nationals studying there to bring their families with them.

This crackdown is anticipated to be launched this week, according to an exclusive story by The Sun UK.

These new rules will make it illegal for master’s students and many other postgraduate students to bring their families to the UK.

According to the UK media outlet, PhD students, who normally study degrees lasting between three and five years and are highly talented, are exempt from the prohibition.

These changes are a result of the recent spike in net migration to the UK, which reached an astounding 1 million. Tory MPs have urged Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to act and handle the rising numbers.

UK officials are expected to announce the adoption of harsher immigration restrictions on Tuesday or Wednesday in an effort to address the growing inflow.

The Sun reports that “Rishi Sunak is expected to come out fighting on immigration – pointing out they are figures he inherited as they date back to the year ending December 2022 – two months after he became PM.

“There has been an explosion in the number of people coming to Britain piggybacking on their relative’s student visa.

“Students brought 135,788 family members to Britain last year – nine times more than in 2019.

“Last year, 59,053 Nigerian students brought over 60,923 relatives.”

“I took bank loan to make song with Davido” – Spyro

Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Oludipe Oluwasanmi David, better known as Spyro has disclosed that he obtained a bank loan to finance his song with Mayorkun and Davido.

The rising artiste featured Omo Baba Olowo and Mayorkun on a single titled ‘Funke’ in 2018, but the commercial success of the song was short-lived.

Spyro said in a recent interview with Cool FM that he struggled for three years to pay back the debt.

The “Who’s Your Guy” crooner said that the collaboration propelled him into the public eye, but fell off after the song lost the initial momentum.

Spyro said;

“When I dropped ‘Funke’ and the song popped. I had David [Davido], I had Mayorkun on the song. And after dropping ‘Funke’ and my career still went down, I’m like, ‘Oh! Am I ever gonna rise again?’

I popped but I just came down because there was no structure. There was nothing. I took a loan from the bank to finance that particular record while I was still signed to Upfront & Personal. When that period passed, I now had to start paying for the loan. That was really difficult because I paid for like three years.”

“No man is wired to cheat, don’t believe that lie from hell” – Clergyman Kingsley Okonkwo

Popular clergyman, Kingsley Okonkwo has asserted that the idea of men being inherently wired to cheat is nothing more than a lie from hell.

Taking to his Twitter handle on Saturday, May 20, Kingsley pointed out that men’s sexual disposition differs from that of women due to various reasons, one of which is the higher sex drives men tend to have.

While acknowledging that men may be more prone to sexual temptations than women, he made it clear that this does not justify infidelity or causing harm to someone they truly love.

In his words,

“NO MAN is wired to cheat, don’t believe that lie from hell. However there seems to be proof that men are more prone to sexual temptation than women, OF COURSE women are tempted too. But clearly the sexual proclivity of men is VERY different from women here are some reasons

#1 Men have a higher sex drive than women, men have a higher dose of testosterone which is the sex hormone

#2 Men are capable of enjoying sex without any emotional connection, hence why prostitution is mainly men funded

#3 Men are visually stimulated , so just being a man in today’s world is an automatic temptation because your view is attacked daily

However all this is NEVER an excuse to cheat and hurt someone you claim you love, SELF CONTROL by God’s grace is how to go. Prov 25:28 MSG – A person without self-control is like a house with its doors and windows knocked out.”

Pastor Kingsley’s post comes after legendary Nigerian singer, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, stated that men are wired to cheat. ICYMI, Read here.

“I’m unsure if 2Baba is okay with my relationship with his wife, Annie” – Celebrity stylist, Swanky Jerry

Nigerian fashion designer Jeremiah Ogbodo, popularly known as Swanky Jerry, has expressed his disappointment with singer 2Baba for failing to address the misunderstanding between him and his wife, Annie Idibia.

Swanky who used to be best friends with Annie, but appears to be currently at odds with her, noted that the singer’s attitude makes him wonder whether he is comfortable with their friendship.

Swanky voiced his concerns on the second season of the Young, Famous & African reality show, during a chat with 2Face and other cast of the show.

“I kind of feel weird that he [2Baba] didn’t reach out to me during the whole stretch of me and Annie, like situation. And I just really wanted to know like what’s up?

“I feel like the quickest person that would have been able to resolve our misunderstanding would probably have been him [2Baba].

“I just felt like you were not there for me at that time. I just really wanted to get clarity, like, do you f*ck with this relationship at all?” He said.

2Baba, visibly angered by the question, responded sharply, “I feel some kind of way for you to ask me that. Both of you are adults, right? I wasn’t even aware of what was happening. I am still friends with you, and I am still her husband. I don’t care about the issues you two have. Resolve that conflict. Don’t drag me into any nonsense.”

The singer found Swanky’s question disrespectful, stating that Swanky could have approached him directly via telephone or other means to draw his attention to the ongoing dispute between him and his wife, Annie.

“How Tunde Kelani betrayed me” – Veteran Actor Baba Wande opens up (Video)

Veteran Nollywood actor, Alhaji Kareem Adepoju, popularly known as Baba Wande, has opened up about how he was betrayed by veteran filmmaker Tunde Kelani.

Baba Wande shared his grievances during a recent interview with BBC News Yoruba, where he discussed the reasons behind the delayed release of the sequel to their Yoruba movie “Ti Oluwa Nile.”

According to Baba Wande, he and Tunde Kelani had a verbal agreement stating that he would receive 30% of the profits from the first installment. However, he was given a mere 15,000 out of the 180,000 that was earned.

Expressing his shock and deep disappointment, Baba Wande said,

“I was taken aback and greatly demoralized when I received 15,000 through Kelani’s manager from the total sum of 180,000 we made from the initial sales.”

Baba Wande further revealed that Kelani, who was once his good friend, justified this by explaining that others needed to share in the profits.

However, Baba Wande found Kelani’s behavior discouraging, leading him to abandon plans for Part 2 of the movie, which would have concluded the story.

Speaking further, the legendary actor advised active actors and actresses to produce movies that will remain relevant for years instead of promoting nudity in the society.
