Nigerian superstar singer, Olamide, has revealed the most humiliating incident that left him feeling both furious and embarrassed.
In a recent interview, Olamide disclosed that before the success of his song “Eniduro,” he had to endure humiliation at the hands of a senior colleague who sent him to get food.
According to The Nation, Baddo said it happened when he was working with his supervisor and director, ID Cabasa, many years ago.
In his words;
“I was in the studio when this senior artist came in to record a song, and he said he was hungry. Who else will he send to buy food if not me, who was the youngest in the studio? The money he gave me was not enough for his meal, so I decided to add my own money. I even used my money to pay for transportation. When I got back to the studio with the food, guess what this guy said to me?
Cabasa, tell this your boy to give me my change. If he wants money, he should tell me, and I will give it to him. He should not use a trick to steal my money. I almost got angry, but one look from ID Cabasa calmed me down. Today, the guy is one of my biggest fans, and he is planning to do a song with me.”

A mother who tragically lost her daughter to drowning has revealed an unsettling yet heartwarming detail in a photo from her wedding ceremony.
Tahlia Murphy and her husband, Cecil, lost their 17-month-old daughter Taidyn Murphy, fondly called Totty, in September 2022 after she drowned in a jacuzzi at their home in Gracemere, in Queensland’s Rockhampton region.
Three months after losing her daughter, the grieving woman, who has three other children – Paityn, 12, Laikyn, 6, and Haivyn, 4 – got married to Cecil.
She revealed to Daily Mail Australia that the entire wedding ceremony was centered around Totty but she particularly holds one picture from the ceremony dear.
“Our whole day was for her, we had a big beautiful A3 picture of her, she had her own seat allocated and a bouquet done for her, our eldest daughter walked down the aisle with her ashes and some of her ashes were also put in my and my husband’s ring,” she told Daily Mail Australia.
Tahlia said she was so heartbroken that her daughter was not alive to witness the wedding until her friend spotted a small figure in one of their wedding photos.
In the picture of Tahlia and Cecil sharing a kiss on their wedding day, a shadowy figure can be seen hiding behind a tree in the background.
“One of my friends found it and they sent it to me with the figure circled and they said your baby girl was at your wedding day after all.
“I was laying in bed at the time and my friend had screenshot the picture and I was like ‘oh my god she was literally there’.
“I ran straight to my husband and we both had goosebumps and cried and said, ‘look it’s our Totty, looking on from behind a tree in a white dress.”
Tahlia, who was previously skeptical about the supernatural, said the picture confirms that her daughter was there at the wedding.
She further disclosed that the urn containing her daughter’s ashes is yellow and shaped like a butterfly, and everyday since she was cremated, they have been seeing yellow butterflies around the house.
“Without fail every day we have seen at least one and sometimes 10, 20 or even 50,” Tahlia said.
A businesswoman has recounted how her husband watched her put her life in danger to give birth in a dilapidated hospital when he could afford to pay for better health care.
The aggrieved woman, identified as @madamolu on Twitter, disclosed that she was forced to give birth in a rundown hospital due to ‘lack of funds’ unknown to her that her husband had money.
She said she was barely able to push the baby out but had to keep trying natural delivery because she thought they couldn’t afford a cesarian section (CS).
However, she received a rude shock when her husband, now ex, bought a landed property one week after she gave birth to their child.
“I remember when I was giving birth struggling for my life and unable to push the baby out in a dilapidated health center cos I couldn’t afford a good Hospital & my supposedly father of the child was watching me fight for my life while he has a lot of money in his acct & bag then
And poor me was praying while on hospital bed for more strength, cos I was almost gone and I thought we couldn’t afford CS , alas baby came out with lots of tears and placenta rupture, the next week the Oga got a Landed property🫱🏾🫲🏼 Selfishness at its peak 🤮”

A Nigerian man has bemoaned the habit of Nigerians being more interested in tragic events than happy ones.
The man, identified on Twitter as Oláyinka Owólewa, recalled how very few people reached out to congratulate him or visit when his child was born two years ago.
He said, but when the child sadly died six months later, those who showed up to condole with him were more than those who had congratulated him when the child was born.
Taking to Twitter, Olayinka voiced his disappointment with this personality flaw, which he claims is typical of the majority of Nigerians.
He stated this while reacting to another tweet that said, “Banky W appears to have received more support since he lost the election than he did when he was running.”
“That is what Nigerians do to you. Some 2yrs ago, when me and my wife had a new baby, the people that called me or visited me when the baby died after 6 months were much more than those that congratulated me when the baby arrived.” He wrote.

Popular Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele’s ex-husband, JJC Skillz, has reacted to reports making the rounds that he remarried.
Reports recently made the rounds online that the 45-year-old rapper tied the knot with a Kogi-born lady, Falilat Raji, at a private ceremony in Kano.
He’s said to have found love again and given another shot at marriage only nine months after he announced his split from actress turned politician, Funke Akindele.
According to reports, photos and videos that captured the couple together were not in circulation because of JJC’s refusal to have any photos taken at the event.
However, a rare photo of JJC Skillz and his alleged new wife later emerged online. The photo was said to have been taken by JJC Skillz’s personal photographer.
Reacting to the report, in a new interview with popular media outlet The Cable, the music producer noted that he won’t publicly announce his decision to remarry.
“If I decide to marry or choose which way I want to go, it will be a personal choice and I will not make it public”, he said.

A man who has seven children with seven different women has revealed why he is not present in his children’s lives.
In a video making rounds online, the man explained that he told the women he impregnated that he didn’t want children and offered to pay for an abortion.
He stated that while some agreed to terminate their pregnancies, the seven women with whom he has children chose to keep their pregnancies.
According to him, since he stated clearly from the start that he did not want to be a father, he is not obligated to be financially, spiritually, and emotionally available for the children.
On his decision to have unprotected sex with these women despite not wanting kids, he averred that they were all irresponsible for not using protection but it doesn’t mean he has to be responsible for the kids.
Speaking further, he explained that he didn’t love any of his babymamas and did the bare minimum for them before they allowed him sleep with them, which unfortunately resulted in pregnancies. He then questioned how he is supposed to love the kids when he doesn’t love their mothers.
Following his experience, the man warned women to be careful with the type of men they sleep with before they end up like his babymamas.
A heavy downpour devastated over 105 structures in Oke-Ako, Ikole Local Government Area, Ekiti State, on Friday, March 3 rendering several people homeless.
The town’s energy facilities were also damaged by the rainfall, which began at around 3 o’clock and left residents completely without power.
According to Monisade Afuye, the state’s deputy governor, who visited the affected region on Saturday, March 4, the event was highly devastating.
The Deputy Governor’s Special Assistant for Media, Victor Ogunje, released a statement on Saturday in which he quoted the Governor as expressing relief that no one perished in the huge storm.
The statement read;
“On behalf of his Excellency, Governor Biodun Oyebanji, I sympathize with you on the destruction caused by rainstorm to many residential buildings and electricity poles in this town , which we believe must have affected the wellbeing of the victims. Information at our disposal and on- the- spot assessment revealed that roofs of scores of residential buildings and electricity facilities were destroyed during the stormy rainfall, thereby rendering many homeless and helpless. We sympathise with the victims at this trying times and plead for calmness, in the sense that natural disaster of this nature is one occurrence that is difficult to control. But with personal precautions and right efforts, its effects can be minimised.
That was why the Governor Oyebanji’s administration is ready to support interested individuals to go into tree planting and the programmes will soon be rolled out to safeguard our environment and minimise havocs being wreaked on our buildings by rainstorm. Tree planting is very essential. I observed that landlords here are not planting trees, I am not seeing them standing beside our houses. Let us inculcate the habit of tree planting to serve as wind breakers against storm.

A financial analyst, Duke Darls, opined that a lady in Nigeria without a spouse is a nobody in the community.
In a series of tweets on the microblogging platform, Twitter, Duke said Nigerian women should shut up and pray that men find them worthy to be considered wives otherwise they will suffer to avoid suffering.
According to him, women benefitted more from marriage but always talk down on men.
He wrote;
“Few years from now Nigeria will have one of the most largest numbers of unmarried women roaming the streets. This is not a joke or a swift attack to the ladies, it’s just based on statistics. Niqqas on this side of the world can’t really pinpoint the importance nowadays
“Nigerian Women benefit more from marriage & relationships yet whenever u hear them talk they always talking down on the men. Firstly you’re a nobody in the society if u ain’t married as a woman, so better shut up & pray for a man to deem u worthy to be wifed if not U go suffer o.
If not u go pay rent tire, don’t think bcos u have brothers they’ll take care of u oh, my dear they will only send u money & that’s it. You’ll starve of sex, men ur age won’t want you, young boys sef go use u learn how to knack then move on. Calm down now, suffer Dey front.”
Esosa Iyawe, a 40-year-old Benson Idahosa University alumnus voted to the House of Representatives to serve the Oredo Federal Constituency of Edo State has revealed that he had intended to leave the country before winning the election.
Iyawe shared in an interview with Punch that he switched to the Labour party after Obi left the PDP and joined it.
He explained that the high cost of living and the miserable condition of the country drove him to compete for the position and that he had even made arrangements to move before he made the decision to enter politics.
In his words;
“At one point, I even had plans of relocating to another country because the more one works, the less one gets as the naira loses value daily. The cost of living is high while inflation is also skyrocketing even though Nigeria is blessed with natural resources. A lot of countries don’t have one-10th of what we have but they are living well due to proper planning while we are still battling to make things work for several years and we remain underdeveloped. So, I decided to put my hat in the ring to ensure that if Obi became the president, I would assist in making and supporting bills that would enable him to function well as one of his disciples. I believe that we need laws based on common sense to make things work. As an engineer, I believe that I have the capacity to do things that will positively impact the people of Oredo. That was why I actually jumped into the race.”

In other news, Big Brother Naija star, Leo Babarinde DaSilva, has revealed why he decided to keep his engagement a secret.
Recall that some days before, the realtor raised speculations about his marital status when he made a tweet explaining how he got his folks to agree to a lowkey wedding.
Speaking in an interview, Leo also revealed he believes firmly in being married before one starts bringing kids into the world.
He said;
“I am engaged. I did not make it public because I will announce it when I am married. I did not see the need to announce what had not been formalized in God’s presence yet.”
When asked what he can’t do in a relationship, Leo said; “That would be having kids. I think it is just my preference. Some people prefer to do it that way too. I just prefer to do it when I get married.”
Leo added that he would not regret anything about bachelor living once he gets married.
Leo claimed that he could have married when he was much younger if his parents were still alive, but he put off all of that in order to get his life in order.
“I will not miss anything. As one gets older, one would understand how important it is for one to settle down. I would have settled down a lot earlier if my parents were not late. I just felt I needed to get things together, and I needed to make sure I was hundred per cent ready to delve into it,” he explained.
Olalere Michael, a 40-year-old mobile police sergeant has murdered his lover Bamidele Cecilia Oluwatosin in Ilorin before killing himself, leaving his wife and two children behind.
The event took place on Thursday, March 2, on the grounds of the Redemption Model Nursery and Primary School, Agba Dam, Ilorin, which is housed inside the Church of Redemption UMCA.
According to Daily Trust, the late Tosin, said to be a cleaner at the Banquet Hall opposite the Government House, was the mother of Desmond, a pupil of the school who will be celebrating his third birthday on May 12, 2023.
It was gathered that some parents refused to allow their children to attend school on Friday because of the incident which caused panic around the area.
According to residents and shop owners around the school who spoke to the publication, the deceased mobile police officer trailed his lover to the school premises and waited for her to come to pick up her child before opening fire on her at close range.
“The officer was dressed in a camouflage police uniform. He entered the school premises at about a few minutes before 8am in his Toyota Corolla car earlier than his female friend who had brought her son to the school later. Immediately she walked in, he brought out his AK-47 rifle and shot Oluwatosin on the chest three times at close range and she died on the spot. He thereafter shot himself on the throat which blew off some part of his head and the two of them were there in a pool of blood before the police came to evacuate their bodies about one hour later. It was really a gory scene”,
a resident, Mr Olaleye Arodeyo, told Daily Trust.
The police after the shocking incident, denied it was a case of police brutality but rather that of love gone sour between the former lovebirds.
It was further gathered that the late officer with force number F/NO 497093 was attached to one of the aides of the Kwara State Governor but recently left the position. It was while serving at the Government House that he met Oluwatosin.
Residents who spoke on the issue said they have been dating for a while but trouble started when the late Oluwatosin said she was no longer interested in the relationship.
“What we understand is that Oluwatosin had a fiancé abroad whom she had a son for, and who was preparing to come to Nigeria having left for Dublin about a year ago. Because of that, she wanted to end the affair which triggered their frosty relationship and their fatal end,” one of the residents, Mrs Hannah, said.
Unverified reports claimed Olalere had informed a few of his coworkers the day before the incident that he planned to murder someone and then commit suicide.
“But many of them didn’t believe him because he was doing very well as a police officer. He had two houses, one in Iloffa and Omu-Aran, Oke-Ero and Irepodun local government areas of the state. Here in Ilorin, he was staying in the Barrack and had a very beautiful wife and two daughters,” a police source told the publication.
Further information revealed that the late Olalere had made numerous unsuccessful attempts to persuade Oluwatosin to reconsider her decision to call it quits.
Local residents claimed he had recently visited the deceased woman’s family home, where he reportedly stole some electronics and other items he had allegedly purchased for her.
“This was at the height of his frustration over the situation. But Olalere was very much in love with her and I believe that was why he killed her and shot himself,” Mr Bello, another resident of the area, said.
A female provision seller in the area said;
“Most times, when the man (Olalere) is around, they used to come to my shop to buy things. I never knew he was a police officer because he doesn’t wear his uniform and seldom comes down from the car. But from their disposition, you could see that he truly loves her. This is very sad. Oluwatosin should be in her 30s and a very beautiful woman. It was after the incident we learnt that she had a fiancé abroad who was coming to Nigeria,” she added.
Their bodies have been placed at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital mortuary, according to Ajayi Okasanmi, the police command’s spokesperson (UITH).
“What we can establish now is that the two of them were lovers but at a point, they had a misunderstanding which led to the mobile police officer trailing her to the school, shot her and also killed himself in the process. It has nothing to do with police brutality. But the Commissioner of Police, Paul Odama, has ordered investigation of this unfortunate incident. No arrest has been made yet. But I can assure you that the report of the investigation will be made public as soon as it is ready,”
The young man, Umar Sani who married two wives on the same day in Niger State, has revealed he feels like he is in paradise.
Recall that Mr. Sani married Safina and Maryam on Friday, March 3, 2023, in Minna.
The delighted groom told Tsalle Dayya, an online publication located in Minna, that his new wives are understanding.
“I feel as if I have been given a space in paradise, I’m extremely grateful to Allah and my joy is immeasurable. I thank God I’m happily married to two brides. Both of them are understanding, and I’m grateful for that. A lot of people have thought there would be issues from either of them, but God in his wisdom has made things perfect,” he said.
Mr. Umar stated that his choice was influenced by his upbringing in a polygamous household.
“Since I was 10, I saw my father having four wives and I saw the way they lived peacefully. I made a promise to myself that I would marry more than one wife if I had my way, or marry three or four same day,”
He claimed that although his parents were shocked by the choice, they never forbade him from pursuing his goals.
“My parents were surprised because even my father didn’t marry two wives on the same day. But they didn’t oppose it. The most important thing for us right now is to have a peaceful home,” he added.
