A writer identified as Shadaya has taken to advise people to avoid having financial dealings with men who adore their women and treat them like queens.
Sharing a lengthy piece on his Twitter page, he opined that such men have been compromised and emasculated.
According to Shadaya, a man is supposed to be the head of his house & decisive, without seeking approval and any man who involves his female partner in any decision he takes is a âdefeated man”.
He tweeted;
“THE MANIPULATED MAN Avoid having any financial dealings with men who worship their women, because they will always prioritize the queen over the deal And it’s very easy to see that a man is compromised, that he has been emasculated, his balls have been removed, he has been castrated If a man has to always involve his woman or has to ask for permission from his wife, that is a sign of a defeated man.
A man is supposed to be the head of his house & decisive, without seeking approval These are men who have been poisoned by the feminist propaganda of “happy wife, happy life”, probably subscribing to the idea of a relationship without gender roles You know the guy who cooks, cleans, washes (they actually have a duty roster) & plays 2nd mommy to the kids.
Yes, that guy who has to check in his whereabouts to the madam & asks for permission or else he will be severely punished Yes, that guy who has a curfew, failure to be home on time, he either ends up sleeping outside or is demoted from the main bedroom to the lounge & sleeps on a couch Avoid having any financial dealings, infact any kind of dealing with such men, they are betrayals waiting to happen. All it takes is for the madam to get involved & they will leave you hanging Learn OR perish!!!â
This comes after Rita made several posts on the platform declaring her support for Yul’s first wife, May.
Most recently, Rita, who is married to Tony, Pete Edochieâs younger brother, assured May that her place is secure in their family.
She described May as a good woman and said that the prevailing crisis in her marriage would eventually end, and it was only a matter of time.
“Itâs your home nwam. No worries, no competition. Itâs just a question of time,” she wrote.
Following this, Yul Edochie appears to have unfollowed the veteran actress on the platform. A check of his Instagram page showed that he is no longer following Rita. See the screenshot below.
In other news, controversial Nigerian actress, Judy Austin-Edochie, has addressed those hurling insults and curses at her.
The actress who has faced online backlash since she was unveiled as colleague, Yul Edochieâs second wife, in April 2022 addressed her critics in a video that was shared on her husband, Yul Edochieâs verified Facebook page.
Recently, Judy and Yul triggered the wrath of netizens after Yul shared a video of Judy thanking God for saving her during childbirth. Some social media users criticized the video as insensitive, as it came a few weeks after Yulâs senior wife lost a child.
In the new video, Judy first thanked her fans for their unflinching support and love, before expressing gratitude to those who insult and attack her without knowing anything about her.
She explained that their curses and insults have, in fact, brought immense blessings from God into her life.
âTo the people who hate me, curse me, or attack me without knowing anything about me, I want to say a very big thank you. Without your curses, God wouldnât be blessing me as much as He is. Without your curses, I wouldnât have come this far in life, so soon, so fast.â She said in part.
Sharing the video on his verified Facebook page, Yul wrote, âIJELE ODOGWU! Judy Austin addresses those who are insulting her and cursing her.â
A Bayelsa-based Nigerian man, Oroufagha Emomotimi, has publicly apologized to his wife, Benedicta, six months after he accused her of infidelity and questioned the paternity of their son.
Emomotimi, a former Assistant Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekeremor Ward, took to Facebook in December 2022 to call out his wife, friends, and family members, accusing them of betraying him.
In his post, he also expressed his determination to find out whether he was the biological father of their son.
“They will sleep with your wife and still kill you. That’s the world we are in. Be careful. If there are people who still seek truth, join me in my bid to unravel the truth behind my son’s paternity. I have said it countless times. If the test turns out that I was wrong, I am ready to serve the jail term if they so desire. All I want is, let truth and justice prevail,” he wrote on Facebook at the time.
However, in a Facebook post on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, Emomotimi blamed the “devil, jealousy, and anger” for his actions.
He also admitted that the allegations he made against his wife are false and asked her to forgive him.
“To my dear wife, Mrs. Emomotimi Benedicta, I acknowledge that I hurt you deeply and I am here to apologize for my irresponsibility,” he wrote.
“I take the blame for my actions. Everything I have criticized you for was not only cunning and malicious, but was lies from the pit of hell. Everything I have said about you is false and untrue, as the evidence points.
“What happened was one of the attacks of the devil on our marriage. It was a fight for supremacy and submission. There is always no winner, I learned. I feared that I was already losing you, and I thought to myself that since I cannot have you, I must destroy you. That was love.
“The bad side of jealousy, I guessed. I couldn’t afford to lose you because of the enormous sacrifices I put into marrying you. In the process of that airstrike, battling the air, I insulted the sensibility of fathers, family, friends, and fans.
“In the spew of that anger (jealousy), I stepped on many toes. I am sorry. Please find a place in your heart to forgive me and give me your support. I love you now and always will. ~ Oroufagha Emomotimi.” He added.

Social media commentator,Daniel Regha is of the opinion that popular female Nigerian singers, Tems and Ayra Starr, are still up-and-coming artistes.
Daniel, who is notorious for his controversial takes on celebrity issues, shared this opinion in a recent podcast session hosted by reality TV star, Doyin.
According to him, a musician can either be considered as an ‘upcoming artist’ or a ‘GOAT – Greatest Of All Time”, and both singers have not yet reached the status of being the GOAT.
He said even though Tems has received international recognition and awards, she has not released songs that would have the same relevance even after a decade, like those of Tiwa Savage, Omawumi, and Waje.
On Ayra Star’s music career, Daniel stated that she recycles the same sound and is mostly known for wearing miniskirts and revealing clothes. He added that her latest song ‘Sability’ is the most useless song he has ever heard.
Speaking further, Daniel advised Tems and Ayra Starr to create music with diverse themes that can appeal to a wider range of audience and events, rather than sticking to the same kind of songs.

A young Nigerian couple have died in a ghastly motor accident that occurred in Sokoto State.
The victims were identified as a Nigerian police officer, Anas Bello Bungundu and his wife, Hassana Musa Yusuf.
It was gathered that the accident occurred on Friday, May 5, 2023. His wife died on the spot while Anas was rushed to UDUTH, Sokoto, where he passed away on Tuesday, May 9.
A colleague, ASP Isah Lukman Imam, who confirmed the sad news in a Facebook post on Wednesday, May 10, said the couple who got married last year were on their way to a friend’s wedding when the accident occurred.
âInnalillahi wa inna ilaihir rajiun. It is with deep sadness that we mourn the loss of my brother and friend Anas Bello, fondly known as D.C, and his beloved wife Hassana Musa Yusuf. They were taken from us suddenly and tragically in a car accident while on their way to celebrate the wedding of a friend.
“Anas was a dedicated police officer attached to the Illela Division of the Sokoto State Command, and he was deeply committed to his work. He was also a caring friend and a devoted husband to Hassana, who he married just last year in February. Anas was deeply in love with Hassana, and his devotion to her was evident in everything he did. They were a beautiful couple, and their love for each other was an inspiration to us all. Though their time together was tragically cut short, we take comfort in knowing that they were together in love and in faith until the very end.
“Anas was my course mate in college of agric and animal science Bakura where we obtained our diploma in animal health and production in 2012. We remained close friends over the years, and I always valued his honesty and his willingness to tell me what I needed to hear, even if it was not what I wanted to hear. Despite the distance between us, we stayed connected through our shared experiences and our mutual respect for each other. He was always friendly and approachable, and he had a great sense of humor that brought joy to those around him. Although I was unable to attend his wedding, I know from our conversations that he was deeply in love with Hassana and was looking forward to starting a new chapter in his life with her.
“Anas and Hassana will be greatly missed by their family, friends, and colleagues. We take comfort in knowing that they lived their lives with love, kindness, and dedication to their work and to each other. May their souls rest in peace, and may their memories continue to inspire us all
Allah ya gafarta maku yasa Aljanna ce makomarku damu gaba daya. Amin ya rabbi If you come across this please say a prayer for them. Thank you. ASP Isah Lukman Imam.” He wrote.
Self-acclaimed life coach and writer, Solomon Buchihas taken to Twitter to tackle women who dislike wearing bras in public.
He questioned whether they genuinely feel uncomfortable wearing bras or if they intentionally show off their boobs to attract attention and ‘sell their market’.
Solomon posed this question in reaction to the ongoing discussion on Twitter about women who say they hate wearing bras because they are uncomfortable.
Read his full tweet below,
âSome women say that they donât wear bras because itâs uncomfortable, but some of these women wear tight waist trainers that leave them gasping for air. They wear dresses with uncomfortable corset,â he wrote.
So, is not wearing bras really about it being uncomfortable or you wanting to be indecent by leaving your boobs bare, with your nipple print visible, because youâre selling your market? The intellectual dishonest is quite clear.
I do not dismiss that some women genuinely find bras uncomfortable, however, any woman who believes in decency will find an alternative. Boob tapes or explore other bra types. Just cover your boobs and your nipples, it is a private part.
Again, a woman who really want to be immodest will always find reasons to be. And a woman who wants to be modest will also find reasons to uphold decency.
All of a sudden our generation is the generation that is encountering all the discomfort the older generation didnât encounter? How did much older women survive in their time? They wore bras. If not, Iâm sure they never flaunted nipples.
The main thing here is lack of shame in this generation. Itâs tacky and really tasteless to move around braless, with your boobs almost out and visible nipples.
One day, children will wake up and say they canât wear clothes again, because itâs uncomfortable, and theyâd rather go to school naked. When you challenge them, theyâll scream mental health. Itâs a mad generation, and Iâm genuinely concerned that Christians are conforming.”

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.
“Itâs not something you can just cut out. Itâs 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 wasnât 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.
âBy the time I went to college, I figured out that the ADHD thing was me and I still couldnât 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.
âAnd 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, itâs both the thing that has given me so much, because it is where I go to like create, and at the same time, itâs 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,
âI was at the verge ofâŚI 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 Iâm a mess, how I think and how Iâm fcked up and everything.
âIâm not sure you will find afrobeats artists who do that right now. Everybody is out there saying afrobeats are not so deep, âafrobeats are just vibes and sh*tâ. Nah. Thatâs why everybody is just doing hype. The real music is dying.â
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.

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, “Somebodyâs future wife has 15 body counts at age 18. When she is 27, only God knows what itâd 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 abortionsâŚ.”
However, some netizens opined that the ladies might not have understood the meaning of “body count” and just gave random numbers.

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.

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.

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 bishopâs 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,
âI was listening to Pastor Chrisâ 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.
âHe 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.
âWhen 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.
âOn 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.â
She continued that Bishop did not allow her go out of the house after the first alleged sexual encounter with him.
âHe 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.
âI 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.
âI 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.
âIn 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.â 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.
âOn 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, âFulfilling my Ministry.â
âThe 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.
âSo, 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.
âI 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.
âHe 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.
âHe 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.
âHis 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.â 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.
âHe 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.â
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.

In a very sad report, a beautiful Nigerian bride has passed on shortly after her wedding ceremony in Lokoja, Koji state capital.
The bride, whose name was not disclosed, reportedly complained of stomachache during the wedding which was held on Saturday, April 29, and was given coke to quench her hunger as she had not eaten all day.
The pain, however, worsened after the ceremony and she was rushed to a hospital where she received a diclofenac injection. She did not get any better and was taken in for further examination, where they discovered that she had internal bleeding.
She was rushed into the theatre for an urgent surgery but she, sadly, did not survive the procedure.
One @Aremexx who relayed the tragic incident on Twitter wrote,
“This lady wedding took place in Lokoja on 29th April. She was said to be complaining of stomach pains right from the reception, and was given coke to drink when she said she hadn’t eaten all day, the pain persisted when she got back to her parents home while receiving prayers/blessings of her parents before conveying her to her husband’s house as tradition required. 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.
What a sad day for the parents and groom. May God help us đ”

Itâs 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.
She wrote:
âAfter all I have witnessed in this country, No Nigerian should ever cry about racism cos yâall ⌠Nah. Yâall are the real MVPs. Keep it upâ
