Officers of the Ogun State Police Command detained 43-year-old Abiodun Oladapo on March 24 for reportedly having an affair with his 19-year-old daughter.

“I don’t try to be unnecessarily nice or friendly with people” – Actress, Kiekie

Nigerian comedienne and actress, Bukunmi Adeaga-Ilori, popularly known as Kiekie, has stated that she does not make an effort to be friends with everyone because it is impossible to win everyone’s approval no matter what one does.

She shared this while speaking on Taymesan’s Tea With Tay show, where she confessed that she is not a people person by nature, a fact that many people struggle to accept.

Kiekie also emphasized the need to work diligently to succeed in her job because she does not believe in receiving favors.

The mother of one said;

“I don’t believe that things should be handed to me. I believe in owning it. I believe that I am enough. I don’ try to be unnecessarily nice or friendly with people. That is one reality many people are not really open to. No one likes everybody or everything. There are some foods that one does not like. So, why should everybody like one?
I said to myself if I was not given a platform, I would create one myself. As of that time, I had started posting fashion content, and I had 20,000 followers on Instagram.”

According to Kiekie, she was also very naughty as a young child, but aside from that, her father and mother knew she would grow up to be a child of wonders.

She said;

“I am the last child. Being the last child comes with a lot of mischief. I was very mischievous as a child. And, that made me to get away with many things. I attended a girls only school, and I stayed in the hostel. Since I was very young, my parents had known that I was going to be a child of wonders. At no point did they try to stop me.”

“Davido has always been a terror and genius” – Lawyer, Prince recounts childhood experience

Popular Nigerian singer Davido’s lawyer, Bobo F. Ajudua popularly known as Prince, has recounted how they met in school and their happy times together.

He claimed that although Davido was two grades below him at the British International School where they both went, his music regularly disturbed him.

Prince claimed that Davido was and still is a musical prodigy and that he was a terror in school, but he wished for him to put his studies before music or any other pursuits.

The attorney, who disclosed this in an interview with The Punch, also recalled how Davido approached him several years after graduation when he had already achieved fame, and requested that he serve as his business manager and attorney.

In his words;

“David and I go back many years. We attended BIS together. He was one of my school sons back in the day. He was a terror then, and he is a terror now. There was a two or three year gap between us. At that time, most seniors did not relate with their juniors, but I had my favourites. Though we did not have much in common, we bonded in a weird way. Whenever school was on break, we used to keep in touch through MSN messenger.
Once in a while, I would login to the messenger service and receive messages from one annoying junior student (David Adeleke ) saying, “Hey big bro, I have started singing, and there is this cool song I want you to listen to.” As cool as I was back then, I did not need to be speaking to any junior, but something in me was just never rude to him. I was always warm and receptive; and I would tell him to send the song.
I recall that some of the melodies back then were not bad. As far as I’m concerned, David has always been a genius; but, I thought he was better off facing his books. Another time, he sent me a message, saying he had started taking vocal lessons. Till date, I have a lot of old and unreleased songs from him from back in the day when we were teenagers. When I left BIS and moved to Cambridge, we kept in touch and have been good friends. He always respected me as a senior that he could trust, and I always had a fondness for him.
Some years down the line, he had started doing music and was making waves. On my part, I went to the university to study. After I graduated and moved back to Nigeria, he popped out again from the woodwork, and said he wanted me to be his lawyer.
At that time, nobody was trying to be an entertainment lawyer. Lawyers were trying to go to court, get the big briefs, work for big companies, and defend successful people. When I moved back to Nigeria, we met and continued our relationship. The next thing I knew was that I became his personal lawyer and that of his family. After a while, he got me to come onboard fully as part of his management team. A lot of people do not know that Davido is co-managed by me and Asa Asika. This is, in fact, the first time I will be saying this publicly. The structure is a seamless one. Asa is his entertainment manager, while I am his legal and business manager. We spread the work between ourselves.
To sum up our relationship, I am David’s friend, brother, lawyer and manager. Our lives are intertwined in many ways. Inasmuch as I am older than him, sometimes, he gives some quality advice that I obviously won’t be sharing with you. I can assure you that my relationship with him is one I will not trade for anything. He has actually turned out to be one of my best friends ever.”

“How Basketmouth ‘betrayed’ me in 2006” – Comedian, AY opens up on beef with colleague Basketmouth (video)

Popular Nigerian comedian and actor, AY, has spoken candidly about the genesis of his feud with colleague, Basketmouth.

Recall that AY, during an Instagram question and answer session in 2022, said Basketmouth has an “uncontrollable superiority complex.”

Not stopping there, he noted that he (AY) had to avoid Basketmouth’s “incessant childishness” for his own sanity.

“I don’t have issues with him. But people having unnecessary issues with you is the price you sometimes pay for being progressive. He has been battling with his uncontrollable SUPERIORITY COMPLEX for the longest. So avoiding his incessant childishness only became necessary for my own sanity.” AY replied a fan who asked if he had issues with Basketmouth.

Well, shedding light on the controversial statement in a recent chat with media personality Chude Jideonwo, AY revealed his issue with Basketmouth started in 2006.

He narrated how he had gone to stand in for Basketmouth at an event that he was supposed to pay him N30,000 for, but Basketmouth lied to him that the event host wasn’t pleased with his job to avoid paying the money.

Read his full narration below.

“In 2006, (Basketmouth) usually will get gigs Iike weddings- multiple gigs on a Saturday, maybe 2/3 weddings. So what he used to do at that point in time was to attend one, then at a point, leave the venue and catch up in the other venue and then you will need someone else to stand in for you. That was the opportunity 1 got from him of which I am very appreciative of till date.

“Now, Something funny happened. One of the gigs per say, I got his endorsement to go stand in. Usually what we get at that time is N30,000 and 30,000 at that time was everything to me. 30,000 would buy me my pack of indomie, recharge cards, fuel for my 1 better pass my neighbor generator and then opportunity to pay just one or two people to join me to do one or two skits that I can just quickly put out.

“I got this job and the people weren’t too happy to see me around the venue because they were expecting a Basketmouth to come. Long story short, the guy was later happy after the performance. There was an exchange of contacts. Then I left. Two weeks running, I haven’t seen 30k. Because I didn’t see the 30k, and I was starving in lponri, I decided to ask for 30K and he said this person hasn’t remitted, this person hasn’t paid, you they’ re not happy because of this and all of that.

“And then me l was like, ahahn… but this person na, shebi you tell me say you were impressed and happy? Give my oga hin money na, make my oga take settle me and all of that. Me,I dont care if you give Basket 100k for the job but my 30k is my 30k.

“It was very funny to now hear from them knowing that this full payment has been made long before the event.

“I said ‘0-kay, is that the situation?’. So I forwarded this one’s message to this one and vice versa. So they now started fighting each other and all of that. 1 didn’t do that because I wanted to get at Basketmouth per say. I did that because I was hungry, I was hustling and needed food on the table at the time.”

“My biggest fear is that his family members may not accept me because of my height but I think love conquers all” – Lady writes

The National Youth Service member, Ruth Innocent who gained recognition online after posting pictures of herself and her tall partner, has voiced worry that she wouldn’t be welcomed by his family.

The University of Calabar alumna shared her opinions in a conversation as she recalled how they first met at the NYSC orientation center in Bayelsa State but that she was later transferred to Delta State.

According to Ruth, they were not friends initially but after he put her on his shoulder to enable her to get a clearer view during an event in camp, they got close.

In her words;

“We started getting attention and favor in camp. People started calling us a couple. When we went to the market, people gave us discounts. We got special attention. I started liking him to the point that each time I was outside my hostel and didn’t see him, I would call to ask him where he was. We became close and I started giving him the green light. When we left the camp, we kept in touch and decided to take the relationship seriously. Since we couldn’t see, I kept in touch through calls.
I have spoken with his sister on the phone. I also spoke with his friends. My biggest fear is that his family members may not accept me because of my height but I think love conquers all. But I don’t think I have any worry about his height; I have always wanted a man that is taller than I am so that our children won’t be too short.”
It would make sense if his family should consider someone who shares a future with him (Philip), someone who completes him. They may think I am not tall but some ladies are not tall but have the characteristics of a lady he wants. Some may think a lady is not compatible with a guy because she is not tall; so, they focus on one (percent), which is the height, and neglect the 99 (percent), which may be other things like humility and fear of God. People should not focus on height; height should not be a problem. They should focus on other things.”

“I want to be appreciated for my talent not my body” – Actress, Mo Bewa

Nollywood actress, Omobewaji Oyediji, popularly known as Mo Bewa, has stated that she offers more than just a hot body.

She claimed that she is talented and disregards people who prefer to pay attention to her sex allure over her ability to perform on screen.

In a recent interview with The Punch, Bewaji said that she shouldn’t be held accountable for God’s decision to endow her with a beautiful physique.

She said;

“Sorry to those who choose to focus on my sex appeal at the expense of my talent. I am a fantastic actress. But, being sexy is not the only good thing about me. I have so much to offer with the talents God has blessed me with. I don’t even pay attention to those who choose my sex appeal over my talent. It is not my fault that God decided to make me look this good.”
My experience in the movie industry has been alright. I did not exactly have a soft landing. Things were tough in the beginning; but with consistency, diligence and God, things are much better now.”
it is tough for actresses to find love. Popular culture and society in general make some people feel that being an actress in Nigeria is not a noble job. It is unfortunate that most men are buying into that too.
However, I believe that when one find one’s man, he will understand. I cannot be with a man who would judge me because of my work.”

Young lady confused as boyfriend asks her to forgo scholarship in Canada for him

Now, imagine having your dreams within reach, only to have someone you love ask you to give it all up. This is the heart-wrenching story of a girl faced with a tough decision: leave for a scholarship abroad or stay back in Nigeria for love?
What will she choose?
She got a fully-funded scholarship to pursue her Masters in Canada. She was so excited and discussed it with her boyfriend who suddenly went cold. She was worried and pushed to find out what was wrong.
In her words, he said, “I should either stay back in Nigeria, build our future together in Nigeria and stick together or they end the relationship and she can proceed to Canada.”
She was confused. Why make me choose, she asked him. He said… “our plans to be together will not be feasible if you relocate abroad.”
I was curious to know why she was considering it in the first place and I quickly asked her how old she was. She said 22 years!!! Here was my response to her I finally called her and we spoke at length & hopefully, she takes my advice and JAPA!!! My 2 cents: A man that loves you would not stop you from achieving your goals. He would support you and not kill that dream. A big RED FLAG!!! What are your thoughts about this? If you were to be in her shoes, will you stay back in Nigeria to save your relationship or will you break up and relocate abroad? In the same vein, if you were married and your husband requests the same of you, what will you do?”

“Many people have sent me money because of the video” – Stephen Muoka, man behind Eluu P song

Nigerian content creator, Stephen Muoka, aka Mr. Eluu P who became popular after his comical counting of Labour party votes during the presidential election has revealed that he has received a lot of money from Nigerians.

Speaking during an interview with The Punch he said that he’s been getting a lot of attention as a result of what he did and he also received donations from different people.

In his words;

“Many persons sent me money, and they said I should not mention it. In total, I got about N300,000. I have plans for the money. I am trying to sustain my fame. Also, I want to further my education. Before the ‘Eluu P’ video, I was working as a mechanic, fixing automobiles.
The video was recorded at Onu Orei Amechi Road, Topland, Enugu State. That was where my polling unit was. The Labour Party won that polling unit. I was not the one who recorded the video. One of my friends, Kachi, did. He put the video on TikTok. It was from there that a popular blogger, Tunde Ednut, picked it. From there, the video went viral. I did not even know that my friend was recording me. It was after the video went viral that I got to know about it.”

When asked if the Labour party candidate or members of his team reached out, he said;

“Not yet, but I desire to meet Peter Obi one day. I have a hundred per cent hope that one day, I would meet him.”
The video made me very popular and I feel so happy about that. I did not know that it would go viral, considering that I did not tell anyone to record me in the first place. So many persons have appreciated me so far. They said I put smiles on their faces again when they felt there was no hope. However, their spirits were lightened with the ‘Eluu P’ video.”

Nigerian lady shocks netizens with her 5.3 million Lebanese pounds lunch bill

A Nigerian travel enthusiast identified on Twitter as Mochievous has shocked netizens with the amount she spent on her lunch at a restaurant in Beirut, Lebanon.

She had ordered various meals which totaled 5,335,000 Lebanese pounds.

Sharing a photo of her receipt, she revealed that the amount equaled about 48 USD and the failing economy in Lebanon caused the price to look so outrageous.

She wrote;

“My lunch bill today was 5.3 million. Peep image for USD equivalent.
I talk about Lebanon a lot and anyone who has followed my travels knows that it is a fav. Lebanon is so beautiful but is going through a tough time economically. If you do visit, please endeavor to tip generously. The people are lovely & kind.
If you use Bolt to move around, please disregard the price the app gives you. It is not reflective of the current exchange rate. Ask the driver what they consider fair. No one would cheat you.
ps: A good rule of thumb is to pay at least $5 for short trips within Beirut.”

“Stop doing wifey duties for your boyfriend. I didn’t cook or clean for my man and he married me” – Christabel Egbenya advises ladies

Christabel Egbenya advises

Nollywood actress, Christabel Egbenya, has taken to social media to advise women to stop performing wifely duties for their boyfriends.

She gave this advise in a video shared on her Instagram page on Friday, March 24. According to her, men don’t value woman who cook, clean, and sleeps with them before marriage.

She also dissuaded women from spending multiple nights at their boyfriend’s house because their partner will have nothing to look forward to in marriage.

The mother of one, who married her husband in November 2021, stated that she did not do any menial labor at his house prior to marriage, but he still married her.

She also opposed the idea of financially assisting a man prior to marriage because it does not guarantee that he will marry the woman.

Her words,

“This message if for all you who are yet to get married, yet you pack your bags to man’s house turning yourself into his wife. You will wash, iron, cook his foods. Wash his bathroom and give him access to all your sexual parts. Tomorrow when he dumps for another person, you will start crying and complaining. Why will he not dump you? When you have offered him all you have. Stop being a wifey when he has not paid your bride price. “

“Ask around, for me I don’t go to men’s house to cook when I was still single. Cook and wash for you? Have I finished cooking and washing for myself? If I manage to go a man’s house to spend a day, he would be thankful. Because, I don’t usually do that. Also stop giving them money, so you will not be disappointed when they eventually end up not marrying you.”

“I seek God’s face before releasing songs” – Singer, Spyro reveals

Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Oludipe Olawasanmi David, better known as Spyro, has revealed that he usually seeks the face of God before releasing a song.

Speaking in a recent interview with Punch’s Saturday Beats, the “Who is Your Guy” crooner noted that he usually goes into God’s presence for direction and blessings days before releasing a song.

He said he’s never put out a song without first enquiring from God.

“I usually go into God’s presence to seek His face, His blessings and directions, days before releasing any song. I don’t do anything without first enquiring from God.

I am of the opinion that there is a physical part to things, and also a spiritual part; so I make sure I take that spiritual part seriously. One needs someone working behind the scenes for one”, he said.

On the inspiration of his hit song, “Who is Your Guy,” he said,

“It was actually a love song when I first recorded in 2021 as freestyle. However, when I wanted to release it in 2022, I decided to revamp it and make it more relatable to as many people as possible. It’s not just about lovers; ‘one’s guy’ could be anyone, ranging from family and friends.”

She claimed that a foreign producer got in touch with her and told her that she has the kind of physique that would be ideal for a pornographic film, but she turned him down because accepting such parts goes against her moral beliefs.

Her words;

“I have been approached to shoot an X-rated film before. One random producer sent me a message on social media. Funnily enough, he was not even a Nigerian. He said I had a great body, and that I would be good in that aspect. He added that the pay would be mind-blowing. I blocked him immediately after reading the message. I don’t think I will ever do that.”

Gov. Sanwo-Olu rejects court order to pay N5m to cab driver tortured during EndSARS memorial

The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwoolu, has rejected a court order to compensate the Uber driver who was tortured during the EndSARS memorial.

A Federal High Court in Lagos had on March 14, 2023 ordered the Lagos State Government to pay the sum of N5 Million as compensation to Adedotun Clement, an Uber driver who was severely tortured by officials of the State Neighbourhood Safety Agency and the Nigeria Police Force during the first anniversary of #EndSARS protest in 2021.

Clement was carrying a passenger to Lagos Mainland when he encountered a gridlock at the Lekki Toll-Gate during a march to commemorate the first anniversary of EndSARS and was intercepted by the officials.

A video of the assault on the Uber driver went viral and caused a huge uproar from Nigerians on social media.

Human rights lawyer, Inibehe Effiong, filed a lawsuit against the Lagos State Government and the Nigeria Police Force to seek redress.

Delivering judgement in the fundamental rights case with Suit Number: FHC/CS/1862/2021, Justice Allagoa held that the treatment meted on the applicant amounted to a violation of his right to dignity and awarded the sum of N5 million as damages.

Following the judgment, Effiong wrote a letter to Governor Sanwo-Olu on March 16, 2023 demanding compliance with the judgment.

However, the governor refused to act on the demand. The Lagos State Government has now filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal in Lagos against the judgment.

In a Notice of Appeal filed on Tuesday, March 21, 2023, but served on Friday, March 24, signed by Dr. Babajide Martins, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) in the Lagos State Ministry of Justice, the government said there was no evidence that Clement was tortured.

“God wouldn’t want me doing it” – Blac Chyna reveals why she quit OnlyFans and reversed plastic surgery

American model and socialite, Angela Renée White, professionally known as Blac Chyna, has shared why she decided to stop OnlyFans and reverse all cosmetic surgeries.

The 34-year-old reality star, who is now going by Angela White, revealed in a recent interview with Daily Mail, why she ended her provocative online content, which she launched in April 2020 and earned her two million dollars in two years.

According to her, after her baptism in May 2022, she came to the realization that continuing to share very X-rated images and videos on the platform was not what God would want her to do.

“I’m not doing OnlyFans anymore. I’m kind of past that. It is one of those things where I did what I needed to do at that moment because of the circumstances I was in. Besides, with me being baptized, that’s just not what God will want me to do. It’s kind of degrading.” She said.

Reflecting on the moment that impacted her decision, Angela added,

“I think my baptism on my birthday played a big part. Everything has been kind of trickling down for me and lining up perfectly. Now I’m just going by faith. I’m not even really going by like the Blac Chyna way or the Angela way. Let me just let God lead me”.
