“A lot of Nigerian musicians are depressed but pretending online” – Singer Iyanya

Popular Nigerian singer, Onoyom Mbuk, professionally known as Iyanya, has stated that many of his colleagues are depressed but are pretending to be happy and fulfilled online.

The “Kukere” hitmaker stated this in a recent chat with popular media personality Chude Jideonwo.

You will recall that in December 2022, Iyanya opened up about his difficulties in a series of Twitter posts. He recounted how he struggled to land shows in December 2021 and even had to beg to perform at shows just to get visibility.

In recounting his struggles and return to the spotlight in the chat with Chude, the singer stated that his tweets inspired many people.

“It is the reality of the game, you know. When you are out for a while coming back is even harder. Most people don’t even come back. When you come back like that you have to let people know that sharing our stories inspires so many people.

“So many people reached out to me to say ‘thank you for that tweet you made. You’ve inspired me’.

“We [artists] don’t share this [vulnerable] part of our lives. That is why so many people are frustrated not knowing that another person is going through something worse than theirs.

“A lot [of musicians are depressed]. A whole lot. The people who you see out there making you feel like things is good, they are the ones going through worst things. So, they try to make you feel like they are right. People are going through a lot. So, you have to be vulnerable with your experiences.” He said.

Netizens mock BBNaija star Erica over choice of outfit to Queen Charlotte premiere (Photos/Video)

Reality TV star and entrepreneur, Erica Nlewedim, has been dragged on social media over her choice of outfit to Netflix’s Queen Charlotte movie premiere.

On Saturday, April 15, Netflix held an exclusive premiere for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story in Cape Town, South Africa.

The event was attended by several Nollywood stars, including Bimbo Ademoye, Lily Afe, Nancy Isime, Kunle Remi, Mercy Eke, Priscilla Ojo, Sharon Ooja, and Erica Nlewedim, who all made fashion statements with their elegant outfits in line with the “royalty” theme of the night.

See some of their photos below,

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Erica, arrived at the event in a pink-feathered dress, accessorized with white gloves, a scarf, and a matching clutch.

Sheggz then went to ask if Bella would leave him for a N100 million cash prize.

Responding, Bella chose her lover, Sheggz, over the N100 million, noting that she’s not about the money.

She gushed over Sheggz and told him that she loved the way he loved, so she wouldn’t ever trade what they shared for money.

“I’m not all about money. I really love you; I love how you love me. Money is not everything,” she said.

Just recently, Bella unfollowed her colleague and friend, Phyna, on Instagram over a controversial tweet about her and her lover Sheggz.

It all started after Phyna took to her Twitter page to address those sending her loved-up photos of Bella and her love interest, Sheggz, to mock her single status.

She issued a stern warning to the trolls while reiterating that she’s a “one-man squad” and doesn’t need a man “to do her.”

While the tweet was addressed to trolls, tweeps opined that it seemed like a shade to her friend, Bella.

Apparently, the tweet also didn’t sit well with Bella, who immediately unfollowed Phyna on Instagram. Read here.

“Marriage is dead. Women have now turned it into poverty alleviation scheme” – OAP Nedu (Video)

Popular Nigerian media personality, Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, better known as Nedu, has asserted that marriage has lost its original purpose and has become a means for some women to escape poverty.

Nedu made this assertion while reacting to the divorce saga between Moroccan footballer, Achraf Hakimi, and his Spanish wife, Hiba Abouk.

Recall that Hakimi’s wife is reported to have asked for half of the footballer’s property after she filed for divorce, but to her shock, the court told her that her husband had nothing, as all his fortune was in his mother’s name.

In a video he shared on his Instagram page, Nedu noted that marriage is dead and that women have now turned it into a poverty alleviation scheme.

According to him, Abouk married Hakimi because she envisaged that after some years in the relationship, she would seek a divorce and leave with half of his fortune.

To corroborate his assertion, he added that the richest woman in the world today got her wealth through a divorce.

His words,

“I no know if una don see that video or the message or the pictures of that PSG footballer wey them dey call Hakimi wey e be say him be 24-year-old and his wife dey ask for divorce. And the divorce wey she dey ask for, she dey talk say 50 percent of wettin the guy get make them give her.

“You see say marriage don die? In fact, if people believe anything for marriage before, the thing wey dey go on now with marriage for inside the whole world, people no want enter marriage again. Na most women, some of una, na e dey make some people no want enter marriage because una don turn the thing to poverty alleviation scheme.”

Watch video below,

Her revelation, has elicited a barrage of reactions from social media users. See some comments as you scroll.

An Instagram user wrote, “Her extreme desire to make people “believe” she’s desirable or got the greatest sex appeal is a trauma response for feeling un-cherished & reprehensible in her prior years…she’s making scenarios in her head to create an illusion of “most wanted” 😂😂😂…I highly recommend therapy 😅”.

The problem with pathological liars is when you lie so much, a day will come when you really need people to come to your aid but they’ll think you’re still lying. Keep catching cruise until you really need help and say the truth but nobody listens.” Another user added.

“I made my first N1m at 17 and handed everything to my mother” – Rema

Nigerian afrobeat singer, Divine Ikubor, popularly known as Rema, disclosed that when he was 17 years old, he earned his first million naira and gave the entire amount to his mum.

The singer shared this while speaking in a recent interview with Z100 New York.

According to him, his mother needed the money more and it was not cool for him to be 17 and driving around in a car when his mother did not have a car of her own.

He said;

“The person who I knew needed it more was my mum. So, I handed everything I made to her. I know it was cool to drive around the city as a 17-year-old in a cool whip. But I can’t drive a cool whip when my mum didn’t have a car or my mum has to borrow my keys. You know, I had to put her on first,” he said.

“Passing all of that to her, whatever investment she makes… I made my first million [naira] at 17 but I made more than a million. But it’s cool to be in that stage to be able to provide for your family.”

The Calm Down crooner went on to say that his ability to support his family and create possibilities for others is his greatest accomplishment.

“Someone created an opportunity for me to bless the world this much. So, I can’t imagine how much the people I helped are going to bless the world. You know, I go hard not just for myself. I go hard for them. As doors open for me, I wanna open doors for them,” he added.

“I love Israel Adesanya, I’ll go on a date with him” – Ifu Ennada

Big Brother Naija star and skincare guru, Ifu Ennada has declared her love for middleweight champion Israel Adesanya of the UFC.

She stated she wouldn’t mind going on a date with him if the Nigerian-New Zealander mixed martial artist was game for it.

Ifu shared this while speaking in an interview with The Punch and discussing her favorite sports and sportsmen she admires.

In her words;

“I used to be a big fan of wrestling until I discovered that their matches were scripted, I also like boxing but I don’t really follow it. What I follow now is the MMA and there are some Nigerians there like Israel Adesanya and Kamaru Usman.

My favourite would be Israel, and aside the fact that he is extremely handsome and hot, the fact that he is also petty, I love it. What he did to Pereira’s son by mocking him the way he mocked him after he won, I love it, some people were saying ‘why’, and I’m like ‘why not?’ I like the fact that he looked for the guy and gave it back to him.

I know he is an adult but that is something someone like me would do, so, I love him for that. He is very confident, I just love Izzy, he walks into a room and you can feel his energy, and that is the type of person I am as well.

If he wants to go on a date with me, why not?

I was so happy, especially because he had lost to that guy three times before. I was delighted really and I left a comment on social media on a blog I follow, where I said, ‘a win for one is a win for all’ and someone even came at me, trying to bring politics into it because Izzy is Yoruba, and the person said something like ‘Igbos only choose to be Nigerian when it is convenient.’ And I just realised that this was coming from a tribalistic person.

I have always seen myself as a Nigerian, regardless of my tribe. I don’t see Yoruba, I don’t see Igbo and it is sad that someone will bring tribalism into sports. I almost placed a bet on the game actually. I had a feeling that Israel would win it, I think I forgot to tell a friend to place a bet on Izzy.”

NYSC disassociates from male corp member who allegedly defrauded policewoman

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) management has distanced itself from Ukanwa Ikechukwu, a Corps member who was detained on suspicion of scamming a female police officer, ACP Modupe Okpaleke.

He was charged with defrauding a police officer of N235,000 on Friday, April 14 before an Iyaganku Magistrate’s Court in Oyo state and was charged with fraud and theft.

According to a statement from the director of press and public relations, Eddy Megwa, the culprit, Ikechukwu left the NYSC when he finished his service in February 2023.

The statement read in part;

“The attention of the NYSC management in Oyo State has been drawn to the information circulating on social media about a corps member sent to jail in Ibadan, Oyo State, for criminal offence. Management wishes to make the following clarifications; the said Ukanwa Ikechuwuku is now an ex-corps member who passed out of National Service in February 2023.

Secondly, when he was serving, he collected a sum of N235,000 to purchase a physiotherapy machine for a woman at the police clinic where he was serving but failed to get the machine. Every attempt made by the woman to get a refund of her money from this ex-corps member proved abortive, therefore she decided to charge him to court for criminal offence.

I wish to emphasise that the NYSC uniform is not an immunity against any form of criminality because the laws of the federation applies to all and sundry.”

The defendant entered a not guilty plea to the accusations at his arraignment in court.

Inspector Olufemi Omilana, the prosecution, informed the court that the suspect allegedly received N235,000 from Modupe Okpaleke on December 4, 2022, with the purpose to deceive.

Omilana went on to say that ACP Okpaleke met Ukenwa while seeking treatment for a leg ailment at the Police Cottage Hospital in Eleyele, Ibadan. Ukenwa suggested that Okpaleke purchase a bicycle.

The police claim that Ikechukwu, who was doing his NYSC at the Police Cottage Hospital in Eleyele, Ibadan, took N235k from the female officer there to help her but instead fraudulently used the money for his personal purposes.

According to the prosecution, the crime violated sections 390 (9) and 419 of the Oyo State 2000 Criminal Code.

“How do you marry a teenager and expect him to be independent of his mother?” – Mary Remmy Njoku

Nigerian actress, Mary Remmy Njoku has reacted to unconfirmed reports that Achraf Hakimi’s wife will get nothing in the divorce because the footballer allegedly has all his assets in his mother’s name.

Taking to her Instagram page, she remarked that Hiba Abouk should have saved her own money or waited till he was older before getting married.

According to the ROK TV boss, Hakimi is still a boy, and there is no sane African mother who will let go completely of her teenage child, it is acceptable that his mother manages his finances.

She wrote;

“How do you marry a teenager and expect him to be independent of his parents? an african teenager there is no sane African mum who will let go completely of her teenage child. Pikin wey suppose dey do a level. Abi because na star? Most of the contracts were probably signed when he was underaged. So it wasn’t international.
Every successful teenage athlete, there is a Mum, Dad, Guardian who believed in them more than they believed in themselves.
A parent who put in EVERYTHING. Money, time, prayers, emotional and physiological support, tears, scolding.
Someone who sacrificed the most they had just to make sure their CHILD stood out.
A teenager BOY is his mother’s son. A MAN is his wife’s husband.
She for wait small make he mature . Or better still, made her own money.”

“Real men don’t give their mothers money to keep away from their partners” – Tech entrepreneur, Charles Awuzia

Nigerian tech entrepreneur, Charles Awuzia has reacted to the unconfirmed claims that Achraf Hakimi put all his assets in his mother’s name, making it impossible for his wife to get anything amid their divorce.

Charles Awuzia took to Facebook to share a lengthy piece detailing his opinion on the matter and reasons, why he did not agree with Reno Omokri’s, takes on the issue.

Recall that Reno Omokri applauded the footballer and his mother for making a smart decision. Read here.

He claimed that if Achraf Hakimi hid his assets with his mother to prevent his wife from getting anything, then the footballer was not his hero.

Awuzie added that if Reno were as wise in relationship matters as he projects, then his wisdom should have saved his first marriage.

He wrote;

“My thoughts on #AchrafHakimi…

Achraf is trending for hiding his money under his mother’s name to frustrate his wife’s efforts to claim 50% of their estate.
Here are the facts:
1. Hiba Abouk, wife of Achraf Hakimi is a professional Spanish actress. She is not broke and definitely not a gold digger as many of you claim. She has her own money hence she never cared about Achraf sending all his money to his mother while she uses hers to run the home. In fact, in 2020, sportsmob called Hiba one of the RICHEST Spanish actresses.
2. Hiba is one of the most intelligent actresses in Spain. She speaks Spanish, Arabic, French, English and Italian fluently. How many international languages do you speak?
3. Hiba Abouk is older than her husband Achraf by 12 years… Yes, 12 good years. She contributed in the background to his rise. Achraf was only 19 when they met. Hiba is 36 years old now while Achraf is 24 years old. Achraf is a 24 year old mummy’s boy – no real man should ever take lessons from such a young mummy’s boy.
4. Achraf is not my hero. He is not the kind of man I would allow to marry my daughter. I see Reno has made him a hero, declaring him as wise as Solomon because he gave his money to his mother and not his wife.
Let me tell you something about Reno – his marriage with his first wife failed for a reason. He is currently married to an Ethiopian wife and believe me, he won’t try what he did to his Nigerian wife with this Ethiopian wife.
Nigerian women are the most abused wives in the world. Trust me. That’s why when our brothers take them overseas and their eyes open, they rebel. I’ll talk about this some other time but let me warn you about motivational speakers like Reno – before you buy their ideology, ask questions about their marriage. If their so called wisdom was truly wise, why did it not save their home?
Any man who gives his mother all his money to hide it from his wife is not man enough and definitely not smart. Did you follow Bill Gates divorce? That’s a smart divorce – they settled everything amicably and only went to court to sign the official paperwork.
5. There’s a rape case against Achraf right now. Rape is a serious crime. You don’t know what else his wife knows. We all recently condemned the #DalaiLama for asking a boy to suck his tongue. Why are you now making a hero out of a 24 year old mummy’s boy whose rape case is now before a court?
Conclusion:
Only a boy would give his money to his mother in order to hide it from his wife. And this also exposes the maturity of Reno. Stop taking relationship advice from boys. Achraf and the likes of Reno are men who give their mother money to hide from their wives.
For me, I raise men who are REAL MEN…. we don’t give our mothers money to keep away from our partners.

That’s how real men role.

Nigerian dentist tackles UK-based Nigerians who come online to complain about their lives in the UK

Nigerian Dentist, Dr. Oluwatomisin Oso has berated UK-based Nigerians who often come online to complain about the standard of living in the UK.

In a series of tweets shared on the microblogging platform, Twitter, Dr. Oso tackled those who automatically expect their lives to change overnight and discourage others from coming because they do not experience the rapid change they expected.

According to him, it was unfair to expect sympathy from people who did not have the basic amenities they are enjoying abroad because they could not be patient.

He wrote;

“The things you left in Nigeria, did you build them in a year? Why do you want your life to suddenly transform in one year of japa? If you see progress, be thankful and keep pushing cos you’ll soon break through. Some of the things UK people say makes me puke.

You get here and suddenly things that were considered luxury in Nigeria become your daily reality. You get things you couldn’t dream of buying in Nigeria, but you’re pissed you don’t have 20 thousand pounds in your account 12 months after traveling. What happened to patience?

You complain about working too much, but you forget to mention that you get paid for every extra minute you spend at work. You’ve suddenly forgotten how you spent 5 hours on the road going to work in Nigeria, or how you got called in to do overtime without extra pay.

In your 12 months here, police hasn’t stopped you once, you’ve never heard sound of generator or constant blaring of horns. You have constant power and superb internet, eat whatever you want without breaking the bank. Anytime you feel ungrateful, remember why you left Nigeria.

We know how bad things are back home, no one going through the wahala in Nigeria will take you serious when you complain. Don’t look for sympathy from people back home, your quality of life is considerably better, yes I said it. Form a community and lament amongst yourselves.

Stop looking for Pele and ehyah from someone that’s not had light in two weeks. Thank you.”
