“Why you should never confess to your man when you cheat on him” – Actor, Seun Jimoh

Nollywood actor, Seun Jimoh has urged women to never confess their infidelity to their partners.

Seun Jimoh, who gave this counsel in a post on his Instagram page, said women need not open up to their husbands if they cheat.

He said that, unlike women, men find it difficult to forgive a cheating spouse.

He warned that if they went on to confess and the man claimed to have forgiven the woman, he’d always hold it against her and punish her in the future.

His words,

“Dear female, I know this may be a hard pill for men to swallow, if you ever chest on your man by mistake, don’t ever confess! Keep it between you and God”. Ken don’t forgive cheating and if they do, they will hold it over and punish you with it for the rest of your life”.

Reacting, Uloma stated that it’s a man’s sole responsibility to support the family, while a woman’s responsibility is to care for the house.

She averred that when a woman helps a man with his bills because he’s broke, she is taking away his masculinity.

“He’s a man and his duty is to provide while yours is to make the home. When you provide, you’re stripping him of his manhood and turning him into a woman. So let him figure it out on his own. It’s best you become homeless than you pay the rent. That’s how the patriarchy works.” She wrote.

Man reveals

A Twitter user has revealed one of the reasons men disappear from a woman’s life after sleeping with her.

“A lot of women smell terribly down there but men keep massaging their ego during sex. 80% of the time men ghosted you after sex, it’s not because they got what they wanted but it’s because you stink.

“vagina shouldn’t smell like rose flower,it’s meat” that’s what y’all tell yourselves to feel better instead of cleaning it up.”

But then If you really care about her, you will be honest about it and help her to get help. Some of them do not even know they smell. Start being honest.”

“She did not die in our facility” – Lagos Hospital where late-20-year-old lady underwent plastic surgery breaks silence

Cynosure Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Clinics, a Lagos-based medical facility, has finally broken its silence following the death of one of its clients.

News of the death of a 20-year-old lady, identified as Destiny Jojo, who had visited the facility for a Brazilian Butt Lift procedure, made the rounds on Wednesday, March 15.

Friends who took to social media to mourn her tragic demise reported that she died after being unable to breathe properly, shortly after the surgery.

Social media users accused the hospital of negligence and called on the government and the appropriate authorities to shut down the hospital permanently to prevent further deaths.

However, reacting in a statement shared on its Instagram page on Thursday morning, cleared some misinformation and wrong assumptions making the rounds about the clients death.

It stated that a CT Pulmonary Angiogram was conducted on the deceased when she arrived at the intensive care unit ICU “and the result showed there was no pulmonary embolism.”

The hospital further debunked claim that the lady died in their facility, disclosing that she passed away at the ICU specialist hospital she was referred to.

The statement read,

“Good day everyone. On the March 14, 2023, we made a press release regarding the current issue making rounds on social media. We, once again, deeply commiserate with the family of the deceased. It has become necessary to clear the air on some misinformation and wrong assumptions. We are aware that it is reasonable to speculate that fat embolism was the most likely cause of her sudden onset of breathlessness.

However, we wish to state the following:
“A CT Pulmonary Angiogram (CPA) was conducted the same day the client arrived at the ICU and the result showed there was NO PULMONARY EMBOLISM. BY the way, a CPA is the gold standard for diagnosing PULMONARY EMBOLISM (whether for fat, blood clot or air embolism).
“Till date, we have no records of pulmonary embolism of any kind, to the glory of God, despite the number of surgeries done so far. The deceased was the third client to ever be referred to an ICU with the previous two, being successfully managed at the same reputable ICU Hospital which is within 10 mins drive from our facility.

“Samples have been sent for COVID-19 testing on account of her recent travel history, as well as some features seen on the CTPA. We enjoin the general public to show more respect to the family of the deceased and refrain from sharing the extremely sensitive videos which have been released by her ‘friends’ for reasons best known to them.”

Nigerian lady dies after Brazilian butt lift surgery in Lagos (Video)

A young Nigerian lady, identified as Destiny, who reportedly underwent cosmetic surgery in Lagos, has died after the procedure went wrong.

According to a friend of the deceased, Destiny went to an aesthetic hospital in Lagos for the Brazilian Butt Lift procedure.

It was gathered that after the surgery, she was supposed to be discharged on the fourth day but developed some complications with her breathing.

She was then rushed to a specialist hospital, where she passed away.

An alleged eyewitness who shared the story online wrote,

“It was four days after the lady’s surgery, in fact she was supposed to go home that day. But in the morning around like past 5, the lady started complaining of breathing issues. That the nurses and the drs immediately came around & started attending to her, giving her oxygen and plenty things then it started looking like she was getting better but they didn’t want to risk it (I think bcos of past history).

They called one other place outside (I suspect an ICU) that was around them & those people came and carried her away. My sx sis insists that the lady left the hospital alive & that even though, she was not breathing so well, that she was alive & talking very well. Asking where her phone was & all.”
