“You can’t bully me” – Actress, Toyin Abraham and colleague Kemi Afolabi get into heated argument over presidential candidate on IG live (Video)

February 21, 2023

Popular Nollywood actresses, Toyin Abraham and Kemi Afolabi recently got into a heated argument during an Instagram live session.

It all started when Toyin, who has been repeatedly trolled since declaring All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu as her preferred candidate during the live session, made it clear that she was not paid to support him.

According to Toyin, as a Nigerian, it’s her right to support and vote for whoever she chooses, and she shouldn’t be bullied for her choice.

She went on to say that the curses heaped on her daily would have no effect on her because she supports Tinubu voluntarily and not because she has been bribed.

Kemi Afolabi, on the other hand, tried to let her colleague, Toyin, realise why Nigerians might be angry with her choice.

She made reference to the October 20, 2020, EndSARS incident and the deplorable state of government hospitals in Lagos State.

Toyin Abraham then retorted that Kemi Afolabi was only trying to please the audience by saying what she felt they wanted to hear.

“Choose your candidate you can’t bully me, Kemi you are saying all these things because you feel that’s what people want to hear. Is that the only problem on ground ? why are you not talking about hunger?”. Toyin said in part.

Controversial Nigerian influencer, Mandy Kiss has reacted to the wave of surprise that greeted the news of her pregnancy.

Recall that the self-styled president of oloshos made headlines recently after she claimed that she is pregnant.

She shared photos of herself cradling her baby bump on Instagram and locked the comment section, thus leaving the post open to interpretation.

The post elicited different reactions online, with some netizens claiming that the baby bump isn’t real and that the photo was doctored.

Reacting to the shock, Mandy wondered why people are surprised that she is expecting her first child.

According to her, the fact that she is a prostitude doesn’t mean her womb is damaged and that she can’t bear children.

“Why y’all surprised??? Na olosho I talk say I be I no talk say I no get womb. Make una rest!!!” she captioned the post

Watch the video below:

A while back, Mandy Kiss bewailed the numerous ‘hook-up’ opportunities she rejected last year.

Mandy said she wants to drop the good girl act this year because it didn’t favour her in 2022.

She said she rejected a lot of offers to hang out with wealthy men who were willing to spend heavily on her in 2022 because she wanted to avoid controversy, but it didn’t lead her anywhere.

According to her, 2023 will be different because she’s ready to do whatever it takes to live a soft life filled with enjoyment. Watch her speak here

Forget all the dragging, if Churchill gives her a second chance, she will enter as a second wife.

The thespian, who has a child with businessman Olakunle Churchill and recently called him out, accusing him of being a deadbeat father, gave this advice in an Instagram post amid their ongoing social media feud.

She told women to be extra vigilant and look out for signs when choosing a partner to have a child with.

According to her, they shouldn’t love her but rather learn from her so that they don’t make the same mistakes that she did.

She said her her mission is not to hate a man, but to figure out how to survive a broken man.

“Dear women choose the father of your child carefully. Don’t love me. Learn from me. If I can save one woman today, I live a fulfilled life forever. The mission is not to HATE A MAN, ITS HOW TO SURVIVE A BROKEN MAN. There are always signs, it’s there. Just look well…#SURVIVINGCHURCHILL #SURVIVINGAYAHOOBOY”, She wrote.

In his birthday message to King, he added that he misses him greatly and longs to see him soon.

Churchill’s post elicited mixed reactions from netizens, the majority of whom berated him and accused him of only acknowledging King as his son on his birthdays.

Tonto Dikeh’s best friend, Doris Ogala, also blasted Churchill for his birthday message to King. She tagged him an attention seeker and told him to let his son be and focus on his family with Rosy.

Well, Tonto Dilkeh, who previously reacted by just liking Doris’ post, has now taken to her Instagram page to properly address Churchill.

In a lengthy write-up, she accused Churchill of being a deadbeat who has never bothered checking up on his son for seven years.

She said he has never contributed to his education or attempted to visit their son, but he keeps telling people that she denies him access to King.

Tonto further stated that she regrets having Churchill as the father of her child, describing him as the worst thing that ever happened to her.

In reaction to his post, Rachel said it also applies to men because she can’t marry a man who has slept with other women.

She said women love virgin men too and men should also keep themselves until marriage.

She also recalled how one of her suitors felt offended because she asked about his virginity status.

“That is what am passing true my brother. I ask one man that came to marry me, if his a virgin he got angry. I told him nna I can’t marry a second class amu. Keep your virginity. We ladies love virgin men. Please am looking for one ooo,” she commented.

I can’t come to terms with the fact that I’ll never hear you say you love me, I’ll never hear your laugh. We had plans. There is no pain bigger than the pain of losing you. I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with you, I realise you’re the one who spent the rest of your life with me.

O God, come to my assistance; O Lord hurry to help me. Please take the consuming anguish I feel right now; Take it from me and hold me in your arms. Heal my broken heart and bind my wounds. Amen Psalm 147:3″, She wrote.

“We didn’t click at first” – Nigerian lady shares love story as she weds boyfriend of 10 years

By

-

February 21, 2023

A Nigerian woman has taken to the microblogging platform, Twitter, to share her beautiful love story.

The woman who recently tied the knot with her lover after dating for 10 years revealed how they met, became friends, and got married on a relationship group on Twitter.

According to her, she met her husband in 2012 in her 200-level university class, but they didn’t get along at first because she thought he was proud.

She said they were classmates, and with time, they became friends, and she realised she was wrong about him.

They got so close that they started going to the mosque together, as they were the only Muslims in their class.

She noted that they started off as platonic friends; however, they both later realised that they had feelings for each other, so they started a relationship and are now husband and wife.

Read their full story below,

“HOW WE MET. I met my husband in school in 2012, we were classmates. I was a Direct Entry student so I joined them in 200 lvl second semester as I deferred the first semester because of an accident I had at that time. We didn’t click at first, in fact my first impression of him was that he was very proud, as someone asked him to explain something to me and he said he couldn’t because he was angry, omo I cried that day ehn.

“With time, I got familiar with everyone in the class; it was a small class of about 28 people, with everyone living close to each other and were very close majorly because of how much time spent together doing studio work. I later found out he was a very cool and kind person. It was Ramadan that made us closer because we were the only Muslims in the class.

“So occasionally I would give him the remaining food that I cooked for Iftar and he used to come call me on his way to the mosque. At some point we just became really close buddies and because of our closeness people started shipping us together. It was really annoying because at that time it was totally a platonic friendship and it somehow made me withdraw from him.

“I guess it was the withdrawal that made both of us realize how much we really liked each other because we started to miss each other’s company. You know the saying that absence makes the heart go fonder. This prompted us to have a full blown discussion about our friendship, people’s perceptions and how he realized that he actually missed our friendship and wanted me in his life full time as his woman.

“Omo at that point I had already realized how much I liked him too but I did shakara that I’ll think about it and get back to him. It was on my birthday when he pulled an epic surprise that mesmerized me that I accepted his proposal to be his woman. I am big on acts of service and that birthday was already looking very sad because it was on a weekend and all my friends had to go for a field work in a course which I wasn’t taking because of my deferment.

“So I was basically home alone that Saturday drowning in the sadness of spending my birthday alone for most of the day, when I heard a knock on the door about 10am. The shock and joy on my face when I saw him with some goodies for me was out of this world. Not about the goodies but about the fact that he was present.

“I immediately asked why he hadn’t gone for his fieldwork because I know it’s something that could take more about 4 to 5 hours and he said he had left home as early as 5am to start his own share of the work in order to be with me because he didn’t want me to be all alone. The gesture really burst my brain as I felt really special and that was the moment I realized that that was my man and it was time to stop doing shakara.

“We started dating that very day. To be honest, those times I never really had ‘husband’ at the back of my mind. I was just really happy being with someone I love and enjoying the moments together. I guess I didn’t want to put my hopes too high because of past experiences but I used to pray to God to keep us if he was for me or separate us on time if he wasn’t.

“A lot of my other friends who didn’t really know him couldn’t wrap their head around the fact that I was dating someone that was my mate; my course mate for that matter and they just advised me not to really bank on the relationship lasting. I guess their talks got to me because I somehow expected that maybe the relationship would be over after school, but as God would have it, it kept waxing stronger and he just kept giving me more reasons to be falling and refalling in love with him again and again.

“Even after he went for service he’ll still take time to come check up on me during my extra semester. But I must confess that being in a long distance relationship was a whole lot for both of us at first as it was different from what we started with. I just thank God that we were able to overcome that with effective communication because as time went on we realized that it would be the new order of our relationship.

“During my NYSC I was lucky to be able to redeploy to the state where he was but sadly it was a big city and my LGA was super far from his,so long distance relationship was still the order of the day although it wasn’t as bad as before because we could plan to see during the weekends and all.

Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has spilled more details on how her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill, compelled her to sponsor their wedding in 2015.

This comes amid their ongoing messy drama which started after Churchill went online to celebrate their son, King, on his birthday last Friday.

Recall that Tonto was offended by his birthday post and fired back at him for being a deadbeat father in real life, and acting like a good father online.

The drama has since taken different twist and turns with the former couple accusing each other of malicious offenses.

Well, the mother of one has shared a video in which she revealed that she paid for their wedding after Churchill deceived her into sorting the bills of their wedding.

Tonto, who married Churchill in 2015, said she was living in Lagos while Churchill was in Ghana during their wedding preparation, so whenever a bill arose, he would ask her to pay for it.

She explained that it was so bad that it was her friend’s husband that paid for the hotel room where they made love after their wedding.

The mother of one provided screenshots of their chat to back her claim, and said he only contributed N700,000 to the wedding while his uncle gave her N1,000,000.

Tonto however noted that before their divorce, Churchill reimbursed her with N10 million to cover all expenses.

The 37-year-old actress wrote,

“DEAR WOMEN, DONT STOP TELLING YOUR STORY.
someday your children will ask you why you never fought for yourself and their truth and them..
Above all, if you have an ex-spouse who is a good father, please respect him.
Forget and put aside your personal hurt and give him his flower, IF HE IS A GOOD DAD.
PRAY FOR HIM ALWAYS BECAUSE YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE..
A Good dad doesn’t have to be a good husband, remember that..”

F&CK SOCIETY DO YOU.
BE BRAVE
BE RESILIENT
NEVER SETTLE
.
I DON’T NEED VALIDATION, I WANT MY TRUTH HEARD AS MANY TIMES AS I FEEL LIKE.”

February 20, 2023

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has revealed that President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime has made tremendous progress.

According to Mr. Mohammed, Nigeria was currently better than it was before 2015 when the opposition party was in charge. He mentioned this on Monday while appearing on the Nigeria Television Authority’s (NTA) live show “Good Morning Nigeria.”

During the show, the minister stated that Mr. Buhari’s administration has met Nigerians’ expectations and remained faithful to its mission considering the time constraints and circumstances. Attempts to de-market the government and the country, he claimed, were the product of die-hard skeptics and a noisy minority.

Commenting on the administration’s accomplishments, Mohammed stated that in 2015, the whole North East area was inaccessible, and that twenty of Borno State’s twenty-seven Local Government Areas were occupied and controlled by Boko Haram rebels. According to the minister, Boko Haram now controls and occupies no portion of Nigeria’s territory.

Mr Mohammed recalled that Nigeria was the top importer of rice from Thailand in 2015, but that with the present administration’s agricultural policies and programs, the country is self-sufficient in the staple and food in general. He stated that the Anchor Borrowers Programme had empowered millions of farmers, and that the number of rice mills in the country had expanded from two in 2015 to 60 currently.

According to the minister, the administration’s social intervention programs fed 10 million students daily and provided Conditional Cash Transfers to two million households, among other things.

Mr Mohammed stated that the administration has built 17,000 kilometers of new roads and restored 8,000 kilometers across the country. He stated that Mr. Buhari’s administration will continue to develop a progressive and successful nation and would not be frightened or cowed by critics.

Nollywood actress, Mary Remmy-Njoku has advised Nigerians to stop bothering God with their prayers and instead vote on Saturday, February 25.

The mother of three stated this in a post shared on her Instagram page, while speaking on the upcoming general election.

According to her, Nigeria will continue to fail if people keep choosing spiritual solutions rather than physical solutions to the country’s problems.

Mary wrote,

“Dear Nigerians
We have physical problems.
Stop invoking spiritual solutions.
Nigeria has a high number of churches and mosques so we have plenty anointing.
But we don’t have food, infrastructure, security, health care, roads and physical justice.
Jesus fed the crowd with physical bread n fish. Not Spiritual
Even with all our prayers
God still never punish the bad politicians. Isn’t this a sign that we should stop disturbing him with our physical problems!
If you don’t want him, vote Against him on Saturday!!!

‘God will not let him win’
Are you joking? God is aware of the suffering and killings. He let them happen.
