“I miss you, mentor… I cannot count my blessings without you. Today, thoughts of how you fed me, clothed me, and accepted me when nobody did, came rushing back.

I remember a night we were to go to an event and as usual, I came so unkempt and fashion-less but while others laughed at me, you went up to your room and brought your cloth down for me to wear.

I wish you were here to see all that is happening. I remember how I would always tell you I would make you proud, and it’s sad you aren’t here now. Thank you for all you taught me and did for me. Till we meet again, rest in power Sound Sultan.”

Lawyer allegedly kills husband after he discovered their 19-year-old domestic worker is her biological son

Lawyer allegedly kills

A 36-year-old lawyer, identified as Abasiesebanga Ikoiwak, has been arrested in connection with the death of her 41-year-old husband, Barrister Godwin Ikoiwak, in Akwa Ibom State.

She was recently arraigned in the Federal High Court in Uyo along with five other defendants for her husband’s untimely death.

Lawyer allegedly kills

The prosecution witness who testified before the court claimed that the late Barrister was unaware that the boy who had been living in his home for years was actually his wife’s son because she had claimed that the boy was her younger brother.

The deceased’s friend, Barrister Sunny Anyanwu, who also testified in court, said Ikoiwak passed away shortly after telling him over the phone that he was having issues with his wife over infidelity.

Lawyer allegedly kills

Anyanwu added that the deceased said he reported the case to his wife’s family who invited him to a meeting in their family compound in Nung Udoe Itak, Ikono LGA, but he did not return alive.

Anyanwu, who is the seventh prosecution witness in the case, also claimed that the deceased lawyer told him that his wife was having an affair with her former boss, a lawyer named Barrister C.I. Odoh.

Lawyer allegedly kills

Before his death, Ikoiwak allegedly told his friend that his wife worked as a housekeeper for a Catholic Priest, Rev. Father Maurice Mbeke, who impregnated her and they gave birth to a child who is now 19-year-old named after her maternal grandfather.

An audio evidence was played in court by the prosecution team, which was led by Barr. Joseph Umoren, the Director of Public Prosecutions for Akwa Ibom State.

Meanwhile, the case is still ongoing.

How Tems led praise and worship in Ugandan prison – Manager reveals

Muyiwa Awoniyi, the manager of Grammy award winner, Temilade Openiyi, known professionally as Tems, has revealed that she led praise and worship in her prison cell in Uganda.

Manager reveals

The duo, who were in the East-African country for a concert, were charged in court on charges of negligently doing acts likely to spread an infectious disease. The charges were later dropped and they were released from prison.

Speaking about the arrest over three years later, Muyiwa recalled being extremely concerned for Tem’s safety because he was not with her in prison. However, he later learned that she led the entire prison in praise and worship.

He said:

“Entering prison, as a woman, Tems, they [prison warders] took her to the female section. I was just worried about her. I was not with her. I was just wondering what the hell is going on [with her?].

“I will come to find out that Tems conducted praise and worship in a whole prison cell. Everybody was singing with her. She took over the whole prison.”

“You can’t force me to marry you; I love someone else now” – Nigerian lady tells man who sponsored her education (Video)

A Nigerian lady has ended her relationship with a man who sponsored her through university with the intention of marrying her.

In a video shared on social media, the lady, identified as Maryvin, made it clear that despite all the man had done for her, she was not interested in marrying him and he had no right to feel entitled to marriage just because he paid for her education.

Maryvin expressed her gratitude for the man’s generosity but emphasized that it would not influence her decision in his favor.

She went on to explain that she had been repeatedly ridiculed by his family, who saw her as nothing more than a financial burden.

She recalled how the man’s mother had plainly told him in her presence that he could not marry her when he introduced her as his fiancee.

Maryvin also revealed that the man’s mother had barred him from marrying her because they were not comfortable with the fact that she did not have parents.

“I know he paid and I appreciate, Im grateful for paying my school fees Darlington, but for me to marry you, I cannot marry you and no one should beg me to marry you because I went through hell because of your family”. She said in part.

In another post, she advised the man to move on, as she loves someone else now.

The clergyman took to Facebook to dish out this advice to single men, stating that an unemployed man should focus on getting a sustainable job instead of marriage.

He wrote;

“As a man if you don’t have something that is giving you daily or monthly income, At this point what you are looking for is not wife but work. Leave spiritual aside, understand what is priority in life, because a man who can’t provide for his own house is worst than infidel.”

Pastor divorces wife after herbalist d!ed on her during sex in Ekiti

A Pastor in Ekiti State, Joshua Ajagunigbala’s marriage to Rita Ajagunigbala, has been dissolved in Ekiti State due to claims that his wife had an affair with a herbalist.

He narrated that the Herbalist died on top of the respondent while having sexual intercourse in a hotel at Ikere-Ekiti on 2nd January 2023, which led to a commotion and made thugs to destroy his house and his church at Ikere.

Separation Of Family With Broken House On Reflective Background

He lamented that her action led to his suspension by his Church authority and because of this, he is no longer interested in the union and pleaded with the Court to dissolve the union and give him custody of his children.

Mrs. Ajagunigbala, in response, admitted having sexual relationship with the late herbalist. She stated that her relationship with the Herbalist was because of lack of care from the petitioner. She said that she had been the one responsible for the feeding of the children and their school fees. She claimed that she had incurred so much debt, which the late Ejiogbe helped her to offset.

Pastor Ajagunigbala, the petitioner, was directed by the Court to assume complete responsibility for the well-being and schooling of the two youngest children resulting from the union, as they are still minors.

The President of the Court, Mr. Joseph Oyedele, while declaring judgment on the matter, held that there was no legal customary marriage between the two of them, adding that they are free to go their separate ways.

“Having gone through all the oral evidence presented before this Court, it was discovered that there was no legal customary marriage between parties herein and there is no marriage available between parties to dissolve.

The Court hereby order that the parties are now free to go on their own without disturbing the peace of each other.

On the issue of the custody of the children, the Court can only order on the last two children of the marriage because they are yet to reach the age of majority. The first two children are free to decide under whose care they can live between the two parties because they are no longer minors.”

However, the Court order that the last two children of the association (Olarewaju and Victoria Ajagunigbala) are to be with the petitioner and the petitioner is to be responsible for their welfare and education,”

“All men cheat, but the answer is not to cheat back” – Rapper, Blueface advises women (Video)

American rapper Johnathan Jamall Porter, professionally known as Blueface, has asserted that all men cheat.

The rapper made this assertion on Wednesday, April during an interview on Rap TV, where he spoke about his career, relationships, and discussed infidelity in relationships.

According to him, every man has at one point or another cheated on his significant other.

“Let me break it down for you, every man you’ve ever been with has cheated on you. Whether they are going to tell you, whether you find out after, before, whenever. They have stepped out of the relationship.

Even the guy you are with now. He’s cheating on you. I guarantee it. It’s just a manly thing. Men are hunters. We go hunt. We’re not going to tell you everything we’ve knocked down, everything we’ve hunted. Be realistic.” He said.

He added that a man can cheat and still be loyal to his woman as long as he is providing.

His words,

“I don’t think cheating and loyalty are in the same bracket. It’s a moment of vulnerability. I think loyalty is more of, ‘I’m always going to make sure you’re straight, mentally, financially. I could be with a woman right now. If I make sure you’re straight, I consider that loyalty.”

After his interview went viral, he took to Twitter to advise women on how to make their cheating partners change. He noted that although all men cheat, it’s a woman’s responsibility to make her partner realize that it’s not worth it.

“The answer is not to cheat back, ladies. The answer is to be as solid as possible to THE man that’s WORTH compromising for which will win him over emotionally. You can get a man to stop cheating by making him FEEL/realize it’s not worth it, but once upon a time he has cheated 100%.” He wrote in part.

“Restore my verification badge, I’m nobody without it” – Reality star, Tacha tearfully begs Twitter CEO, Elon Musk (Audio)

Reality TV star and entrepreneur Natacha Akide, better known as Tacha, has taken to social media to bitterly lament the removal of her verification badge by Twitter.

As previously announced by Twitter CEO Elon Musk, the social media platform on Thursday began the removal of verified blue ticks from the accounts of most public figures, including celebrities, journalists, professional athletes, and politicians.

Verification badges on social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook are given to accounts deemed to be of public interest or with a significant following. The blue badge is a symbol of authenticity and credibility, helping distinguish real accounts from fake or impersonating ones.

The social media company recently announced that its verification badge, ‘Twitter Blue,’ is now subscription-based. Accounts that wish to retain the badge are required to pay $8 monthly.

Numerous checkmarks disappeared from the Twitter accounts of users who didn’t pay the subscription fee for the traditional blue badge.

The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wizkid, Davido, Burnaboy, Olamide, and Tiwa Savage, each with millions of followers, lost their badges for not subscribing to Twitter Blue.

Former Big Brother Naija housemate Tacha, who was also affected by the development, took to her page to lament, noting that she is nothing without the blue tick.

In an audio recording shared on the microblogging platform, she pleaded with Twitter CEO Elon Musk to restore her verification badge.

“What she did is bad but not illegal” – Former Emir of Kano’s son, Ashraf Sanusi reacts to news of lady arrested for defrauding German man of $220,000 after promising to marry him

Ashraf Sanusi reacts

Former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido’s son, Ashraf Sanusi, has reacted to the news of a 21-year-old model arrested for allegedly scamming a 50-year-old German national of $220,000 after pledging to marry him.

The suspect, identified as Atuonah Chioma, allegedly deceived the German man on Instagram by pretending to love him and promising to get married to him.

During their love rendezvous, she invited him to Nigeria for visits on several occasions and convinced him to relocate permanently to Nigeria to live together as husband and wife.

Ashraf Sanusi reacts

She also persuaded him to sell his house in Stuttgart, and send the money, together with his pension and life savings to her domiciliary account for the purpose of buying a house in Nigeria where they will both live as husband and wife, which he did.

However, when she reneged on her promise to marry her, the German National reported her to the police and she was subsequently apprehended.

Ashraf Sanusi reacts

During questioning, she admitted to collecting the money and using some of it to buy a 2-Bedroom Terrace apartment at Zara Estate, Ikota Villa, Lekki Phase II, while some of the funds were sent to support her mother’s business and to cover her father’s medical bill. Read here.

Reacting to the report, Ashraf said what the suspect did was wrong but not illegal because the German man willingly gave her the money.

He wrote on his Instastory,

“Technically she didn’t do anything illegal right? since he sent her money willingly not as payment for a good or service. She’s not meant to be arrested. What she did is bad, but not illegal. That’s why they can’t catch that tinder guy. All the women gave him money willingly

There’s not always a law for immorality.
Again what she did is very wrong, but they’re not legally allowed to arrest her because she promised to marry someone and didn’t do it. And they’re not allowed to reverse the money as it was given willingly even though the person was expecting something else.”

Interestingly, Wesley, who celebrated his birthday on Thursday, April 19, shared a similar photo of himself dressed in all-white to mark his new age.

This didn’t go down well with Uti who has expressed his disappointment in Wesley for ‘stealing’ his idea without giving credit to him and his photographer. Read here.

“If you don’t have a job, don’t marry because a man who can’t provide for his own house is worse than an infidel” – Nigerian pastor says

Nigerian pastor says

A Nigerian pastor, identified as Iniobong Obot, has advised men without a stable source of income or a job not to get married.

The clergyman took to Facebook to dish out this advice to single men, stating that an unemployed man should focus on getting a sustainable job instead of marriage.

 Nigerian pastor says

According to him, financial stability is very crucial in marriages because a man who can’t provide for his family is worse than an infidel.

He wrote on Thursday, April 20.

“As a man if you don’t have something that is giving you daily or monthly income, At this point what you are looking for is not wife but work. Leave spiritual aside, understand what is priority in life, because a man who can’t provide for his own house is worst than infidel.”

Socialite Shugatiti sues pastor who alleged that she is a “mami wata sent to destroy men”

Popular Ghanaian socialite, Shugatiti, has filed a lawsuit against popular clergyman, Frank Gogo and two others over alleged defamation.

The clergyman had, during an interview, alleged that Shugatiti, who owns a restaurant, uses extraterrestrial powers to lure customers into purchasing her cuisine and that she is possessed by a marine spirit. He also claimed that anyone who visited her restaurant would be possessed.

“She is possessed by a marine spirit, and all those who visit her restaurant will end up being possessed. She is a queen in the realms of the spirit. Anyone who has eaten in her restaurant and is a woman has been possessed,” he said.

Shugatiti has, however, denied these claims and filed a lawsuit, requesting that the court declare the statements made by Gogo and his associates defamatory and seeking general damages for defamation of character.

She stated that she is prepared to face Gogo in court if he can provide evidence to support his allegations.

In the court document, it was stated that Gogo alleged that the “plaintiff is a demon-possessed person of questionable character and means and hence it is dangerous for ordinary right-thinking members of society to be associated, acquainted or have any contact whatsoever with the dentist.”

Sharing the court document on her Instagram page, she wrote, “Members of Frank Gogo (Ekatso) church, inform your pastor to meet me in court to prove that I’m a demon of the sea with evidence of entering the sea.”

“Polygamy is my biggest mistake ever. Don’t do it” – Journalist with two wives warns

Journalist with two wives

A journalist, identified as Maynard Manyowa, has taken to Twitter to reveal that his biggest mistake in life is marrying two wives.

The man, who described himself as a ‘former polygamist’, made this revelation while reacting to a Twitter user who declared that polygamy is the future of marriage.

He explained that he is not in support of polygamy because of his personal experience with his two wives, and urged men to desist from polygamy otherwise they won’t have a peaceful life.

According to Maynard, he loves his first wife and only married his second wife to save her from the shame of being single. However, over time, he almost lost his first wife that he loved deeply because he wanted to keep his second wife.

He tweeted,

“As a former polygamist – I say this is bad advice. You will never know peace.

I was a lousy polygamist because I only ever loved one woman. And the other was not really my Mrs but someone I didn’t want to suffer ignominy of not being married.

Biggest mistake ever. Don’t do it

Let me just add. When polygamy is great, it’s amazing.

In fact polygamy is all good until it is all bad!

I enjoyed 10 years of it. Sweet!

Only issue is, in trying to keep the woman I didn’t want – I then nearly lost the one I wanted.

So perhaps polygamy isn’t bad – I am.”

Comedian, Seyi Law reacts to photo of man clamoring for tribalism in Yoruba-owned companies

Comedian Seyi Law reacts

Popular Nigerian comedian, Seyi Law, has reacted to a photo of a man clamoring for tribalism in the recruitment process in Yoruba-owned companies.

A movement led by the ‘Young Yoruba for Freedom (YYF)’ group called upon all businesses in the west and those owned by Yorubas in other regions to only hire their kinfolks.

They said it is the only way to ‘preserve themselves’, demanding that Yoruba people should hold 90% of the jobs in the businesses.

A man, who appears to belong to the group, was pictured holding a placard that reads ‘Yoruba Jobs for Yoruba People. It’s called self-preservation’.

See below,

Reacting to the trending photo, Seyi Law took to his Twitter handle to vehemently condemn the movement, and warned the perpetrators to stop promoting it.

Seyi Law, who is a staunch supporter of President-elect Bola Ahmed Tinubu, also declared that he didn’t support the All Progressive Congress (APC) to see such movements.

He tweeted on Thursday, April 20,

“This is absolute madness. I didn’t support ASIWAJU to see all these things.

Are you saying even companies owned by non- yoruba should do the same or just those owned by Yorubas? Either way, this is wrong, so let’s stop promoting rubbish in the name of anger.

The train girl was an opportunity for us to preach peace and show we are different. I am not belittling your anger, but we must learn to compromise for the collective peace we crave. You can respect your tribe without denigrating another. Abeg na, let’s sheath our swords.

These attitudes give bad names to good ideas. We must do what is right to say we deserve more. Please, I believe we can do better. Things are tending in the direction I don’t appreciate. This doesn’t in any way dim my support for the good, I believe ASIWAJU will bring. Thanks.”

“My wife is always demanding money but does not allow me touch her” – Man arrested for domestic violence tells police

A Nigerian man, Michael Agosu, who was recently arrested in the Ogijo area of Ogun State for assaulting his wife, has revealed that he beats her because she denies him his conjugal rights.

The father of four was arrested on Thursday, April 20, for beating his wife, Kafiat, to a stupor at their residence in the Escoba area of Ogjijo, Ogun State.

During interrogation at the police station in Ogijo, Agosu admitted assaulting his wife.

Giving reasons for his action, Agosu said,

“My wife is always demanding money. She does not allow me to touch her. At night, she puts on trousers to prevent us from having sex. Anytime she allows me to have her, immediately she wears a trouser after one round.”

Recounting her ordeal in the hands of her husband in the past 14 years, the distraught wife said,

“This is how he has been beating me for years. Even when I was pregnant with our first child, he beat me up. Today’s incident happened around 11 a.m. I was washing clothes when my husband came back, and he said he would beat me to death. Before I knew what was happening, he used wood and iron to hit me in my eye. Even when I was bleeding, he kept hitting me.”

Speaking further, she revealed that Agosu had not paid her dowry despite being together for 14 years and having four children together.

“We have been together for over 14 years and have four children. Only my grandmother was aware of the marriage. My parents were not. It was after I gave birth to my first child I went to see my father; that was before he passed on. My husband is from Cotonou. He works as a carpenter and works in the Mushin area of Lagos,” she said.

“If he doesn’t beat you, you’re a side chic” – Lady tells her fellow females (Video)

A young lady has stirred reactions on social media after suggesting that domestic abuse is a sign of being in a committed relationship.

In a trending video that caused a stir on the internet, the lady told women that being physically assaulted by their partner is proof of his strong devotion and connection to them.

She claims that slaps and beatings are only indications that the man has deep feelings for his partner, and if he doesn’t react violently, it’s a sign that he’s not really committed to her.

She went on to suggest that if a man does not beat or slap his woman when provoked, then the woman should consider herself a side chick, and her actions have no impact on him.

“If your boyfriend doesn’t beat or slap you when you provoke him, my dear sister, you’re the side chick. Nothing you do hurts him. I come in peace; please don’t drag me,” she wrote.
