Abroad-based Nigerian man calls out his girlfriend for alleged paternity fraud

Nigerian man calls

An abroad-based Nigerian man, identified as Opeyemi Olagunju, has called out his ex-lover, Akeju Oluwaseun, over alleged paternity fraud.

Opeyemi, who is currently schooling in Tbilisi, Georgia, said he shared a romantic moment with his ex-girlfriend in October 2020 but was forced to stop because she was on a menstrual cycle.

He said he was infuriated with her because she didn’t inform him that she was on her period, and angrily left the hotel and didn’t talk to her for months.

In June 2021, he found out that she was pregnant and simply congratulated her and moved on with his life.

Fast forward to September 2022, she contacted him and claimed that he is father of the child which he believed. He then started sending money for the child’s upkeep.

However, when the bills became overwhelming, he decided to conduct a DNA test which revealed that he is not the biological father of the child.

Nigerian man calls

Narrating the incident, Opeyemi wrote,

“In October 2020, I invited my girlfriend over to spend the weekend with me, she is an hairstylist based in Lagos. I booked her ticket to and fro, lodged her in a hotel and we made out.I can’t really say if she knew she was on her period but pretended like she didn’t know. I’m not soo sure but I was really pissed after seeing blood and I left her in the hotel and never went back. I sent her the return ticket and sent her taxi to return her to airport. We never spoke again until December that we had little chat.

We chatted and converse around December 2020, just to check on her and apologize for leaving her in the hotel, not knowing she was pregnant. I got to know she was pregnant via her status in JUNE 2 2021, I was soo shocked and surprised, I congratulated her and the chat ended.

The surprising part: I got a call from her in September 2022 that we need to talk. She started the conversation by telling me what we had then led to the baby. I’ve never been that shocked in my life, I was shaking non stop and all the questions I asked, she couldn’t provide answers to none.

* How could she have a baby for me without telling me?
* She had access to me via chat or call and she did not inform me.
* They did naming ceremony for the baby and used her surname.

I made a group call with her, her mom and all her siblings because I couldn’t handle it all alone. Her mother and herself apologized for not telling me and since then, I’ve been compelled to be sending money for food and care for the baby.

She’s been lamenting over how the baby would start school, I decided to go for DNA test to be sure if the baby in question is mine as the expenses has been climbing so high.

On the 8th March 2023, I got the result in my email that the baby IS NOT MINE.

This issue cost me my relationship cause I told my girlfriend (Now EX) and that was when issue started in relationship without even waiting for the DNA result to be out cause she believed I’d be the father.”

Italian investigators disclosed that Joy played a major role in trafficking women to Italy, Spain and the Netherlands, where they were forced into prostitution by violence and threats.

Nigerian woman extradited

The fugitive said to be a prominent figure in the Nigerian mafia, was tried in absentia in 2010 and was sentenced to 13 years in jail.

Man who couldn’t speak until age 11 becomes youngest-ever Black professor at Cambridge University

Man speak

A 37-year-old sociologist, Jason Arday, who couldn’t speak until the age of 11, has become the youngest-ever Black professor at Cambridge University.

Jason, who also couldn’t read or write until the age of 18, was reportedly written off by specialists when he was just 3 years old after being diagnosed with autism spectrum disease and a global developmental delay.

He was able to overcome his speech defect thanks to the help of his Ghanaian mother, Gifty, a mental health nurse, his close friends, Sandro Sandri and Chantelle Lewis and Enya’s song.

Man speak

Reflecting on his journey, the Cambridge Professor said;

“A lot of the cues I learned in terms of speaking and understanding came through music.

“There was a lot of music played in my house to explain the use of sounds. My mum’s obsessed with Gaelic and Celtic culture. So there would often be Enya playing in the house. She would say: ‘This is what a river sounds like’. Or: ‘If I were to speak to explain what a river sounds like, these are the words I might use.’

“Now, she’s probably thinking: ‘I’ve tried everything, and none of this is working.

“But what she would have no idea of is that all of those things, those thousands of hours she spent with me, sacrificing and forsaking her own career, were all worth it.

“It was all registering. And I guess that that moment of triumph comes at 11 and I pull my hearing aid out and the first word I actually said was: ‘Hello’. And I used it in the right context! My mum was like: ‘What did you say??’ And I said it again.”

Man speak

Until that breakthrough moment, Jason, one of four children, was communicating with only sign language and spent most of his childhood with speech and language therapist.

He said;

“When my mum received the diagnosis, she told me, it was almost like a hammer to her heart. At the time she was trying to figure out how to be in Britain as a Ghanaian.

“Global developmental delay is a processing delay. So my brain processes information very slowly. But then the autistic side is like a magic trick.

“It allows me to obsess on something. So my mum gave me things to fixate on. She got me to play snooker when I was 11.

“Just to get the stability from repetition. She didn’t care whether I was any good or not, even though I did end up on the junior tour! I wasn’t good enough to go any further.”

Speaking on his relationship with his college tutor and close pal, Sandri, he said;

“He took me on a course even though I didn’t have any qualifications. All he wanted me to do was work hard, make sacrifices and be punctual.

“I would imagine for my mum it was really difficult. But for me, it was beautiful.

“I spent a lot of my time observing people, the way they walked, the way they talked, the cues they had, how they engaged with people.

“I read something about Nelson Mandela. He said that he remembered three to five things about every person he met. That’s something I try and do even now.”

Jason proceeded to earn GCSE’s in PE and textiles; a BTEC; a first-class degree in PE and education studies; and two masters degree.

He also bagged a PhD at Liverpool John Moores University, all of which were funded by his part-time job at Sainsbury’s and Boots.

Despite all odds, Jason became a professor of sociology and education following his work at the universities of Durham and Glasgow.

If ‘Ashawo’ can tackle 10 men daily then you have no excuse not to satisfy your husband – Nigerian man tells married women

Nigerian man tells

A Nigerian man, identified as Aderoju Dave Adewuyi, has averred that wives are to blame for their husbands sleeping with their housemaids.

He made this submission in response to a Facebook user who stated that men who have extramarital affairs with their housegirls are dishonoring their wives.

“Stop sleeping with your housegirl. Each day you climb that girl, you reduce your wife’s worth, value and respect,” the Facebook user wrote.

In response, Adewuyi asserted that women should be held accountable for their husband’s promiscuity because majority of them always complain about not being in the mood for coitus.

He said if sex workers can sleep with multiple men in a day and satisfy all of them, then wives have no excuse to not sexually satisfy their husband in bed.

“LISTEN EVERYONE. AM VERY SORRY FOR THIS COMMENT BUT THAT IS THE TRUTH. IF A HOUSEWIFE VALUE HERSELF SHE WILL BE VALUED. BUT VERY MANY OF THEM DIDN’T VALUE THEM SELF AT ALL. FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF, AM NOT IN THE MOOD? IN MARRIAGE? IF ASHAWO CAN TACKLE TEN MEN TO SATISFACTION IN A DAY. YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE. SO GET OUT OF THAT MARRIAGE FOR THE HOUSE HELP THAT IS READY TO TAKE OVER FROM YOU. LET NO LADY COME AFTER ME. BCOZ. I GO SHOCK YOU OOO.”

Popular Nollywood actor, Alex Ekubo, has taken to social media to celebrate his colleague and politician, Funke Akindele, on International Women’s Day.

He lauded her for being an amazing mother, actor, movie producer, businesswoman, and now a politician, and also wearing all the different hats well.

Alex Ekubo writes

The 36-year-old actor, who averred that he votes for individuals not the political party they are affiliated with, endorsed Funke Akindele in the campaign for governor and promised to cast his vote for her.

Meanwhile, the governorship and state assembly election which was scheduled for this Saturday, March 11, has been moved to March 18.

He shared a photo of the actress and captioned it,

“Happy International Women’s Day to the incoming Deputy Governor of Lagos State.

You are my hero of Women’s Day because you are consistent, resilient & dogged, you fall 13 times & get up 14 times. You constantly remind me that failure in certain areas of your life doesn’t define you as a person.
You exude confidence, competence, strength, and compassion all while maintaining beauty.
You have succeeded in your career for over 2 decades, which means you clearly understand how to maneuver terrain.
You never let anyone or any situation define you, you are an actor, producer, all-round entertainer, mother, entrepreneur, & politician.
You will succeed in this quest because, it will be a motivation to the average Nigerian/African girl to dream bigger, for her to know that her background should not keep her back to the ground. For her to know that a woman cannot be boxed or defined.
Your ability to regroup, reorganize, restructure & re-strategize should be studied.
I believe in you, i believe in the sincerity of purpose of your political ambitions.
Let me just remind you, Ore your dreams are 100% valid, don’t let anybody downplay your dream or tell you different, or try to make you feel inferior or less than a befitting candidate.
It hasn’t been done before is not an excuse otherwise the world will remain stagnant.
Let it be known that I stand with you with my full chest, as a full Lagos boy, bred & brought up in Surulere.

I wish you utmost success.

Deputy Governor Funke Akindele, that sounds about right.

Over here we vote individual & not party. Because at the end of the day, it’s the individual that will do the work not the political party.

This Saturday I vote #JandorFunke for a better Lagos.”

“I know I’ve offended you…This suffering is too much” – Segun Wire’s mum tenders public apology to singer, Zlatan (Video)

The mother of Segun Wire, the little boy who became an Internet sensation years ago after a video where he said he wanted to become a “Yahoo Boy” when he grows up went viral, has tendered a public apology to singer Zlatan.

You will recall that after the video went viral, singer Zlatan expressed interest in him and promised to help him. True to his word, Zlatan took him in, became his manager, and featured him in one of his music videos.

Their relationship, however, was short-lived when Segun Wire’s family accused the singer of ripping him off.

A video of the singer Zlatan being attacked by hoodlums who were alleged to be related to Segun’s family also surfaced online at the time.

Following the incident, Zlatan withdrew his decision to help Segun and, in a series of interviews, said that he regretted helping the little boy.

In a recent development, Segun’s mother, in a trending video, has now apologized to Zlatan.

She admitted having wronged him and pleaded with him to forgive them. She said they are currently going through a difficult time and begged Zlatan to come to their aid.

“I know I’ve offended you, this suffering is too much, forgive me, forgive Segun. I beg you in God’s name. This suffering is too much”. She said in Yoruba.
