Actress, Mercy Johnson shares her biggest fear about her kids

Popular Nollywood actress and entrepreneur, Mercy Johnson, has opened up about her biggest fear about her kids.

Mercy Johnson, on her part, opened up about her biggest fear concerning her children. According to her, her biggest fear is her kids going through what she went through as a child.

“Hmm. So I saw this quote online, let me start from there. The quote said “Overprotective moms are like girls who grew up without being protected” and that meant something.

So one of my biggest fears would be my kids going through what I went through. That emptiness and that no sense of direction. So like I always say, my life is like a scale of preference and they come first before every other thing.

“Cause as a child, I suffered so much and I remember crying with nobody to clean my eyes. I can define hunger because I know it. I can define abuse so it is a feeling I don’t want any child, not the one that came from me, to go through. So they always say “oh Mercy you’re so awesome awesome awesome”, my past is the reason why I am very protective of my kids basically.” She said.

A woman who has been married for 49 years has caused a stir after she revealed she has been saving up for her “exit” since she got married in case the marriage fails.

Skit maker, Nons Miraj gifts herself a brand new Range Rover for valentine (video)

Nons Miraj buys

Nigerian skit maker and influencer, Chinonso Ukah, popularly known as Nons Miraj or Ada Jesus, has gifted herself a brand new Range Rover for valentine.

The comedienne took to her Instagram page to excitedly show off the luxury automobile worth millions of naira on Friday morning, February 10.

Nons Miraj buys

The hyperactive content creator, who wore a beautiful red dress as a symbolism of Valentine, was filmed driving the Range Rover adorned with a red giant bow.

She captioned the video,

“Valentine came early 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
From me to me 🙈🙈”

Her fans, followers and colleagues have showered her with congratulatory messages.

Watch the video below;

A while back, Ada Jesus revealed the reason she ditched Nollywood for skit-making.

Speaking in an interview with Saturday Beats, Nons Miraj said she earns more money from skit-making and possesses more creative freedom than when she was acting in movies.

According to her, she used to be paid as low as N30,000 per movie and would spend days on set whereas with content creation, she has freedom to do as she pleases and dictate her price.

“Content creation has changed my life in a very big way. I remember when I used to act in Nollywood films, I would be paid as little as N30,000, and they would keep me on set for one week. Sometimes, one would get stressed. They won’t even give one preferential treatment. But, with skits, one does things on one’s accord.

One is not working under anybody. One dictates the amount one wants to be paid based on the services one is rendering to the people that are paying for adverts. The life is just soft and sweet. Content creation is beautiful, as long as one is doing the right thing.”

“Stop lying that acting gave you money to buy a house” – Actress, Angela Okorie tackles junior colleagues (Video)

Popular Nollywood actress, Angela Okorie, has tackled female junior colleagues who she claims are not entirely truthful about their source of income.

In a recent podcast, the thespian weighed in on the never-ending debate about female actors being more successful than their male counterparts and owning massive buildings across the country.

Angela, who noted that male movie stars are very hardworking, slammed actresses who flaunt their mansions at expensive estates and locations in less than one year of joining the industry and claim to have bought the houses with money from their acting careers.

She asked them to stop lying while maintaining that no money from the movie industry can give anyone money to buy mansions in expensive locations in that short period.

Angela told the junior actresses, who claim that money from acting made them wealthy, to desist from creating such false impression because it makes actresses who have been in the industry before them look irresponsible.

According to her, these young actresses have other means of getting money but keep lying about acting, making it look like their older colleagues are not doing something right.

Watch her speak below,

A while ago, actress Anita Joseph, has revealed why female Nollywood stars appear to be doing better than their male counterparts.

Actor, Kunle Remi had in a recent interview with OAP Nedu, wondered what his female counterparts are doing differently when asked why it appears that actresses are more successful than the men.

Kunle Remi noted that there are times when he drives to a movie location as a lead character and his female colleagues pull up in more expensive cars.

According to him, this is surprising because he knows how much he was paid for the movie and also has an idea of how much actresses are being paid for supporting roles.

“I’m no longer interested in the kingdom of heaven” – Frustrated man tells church to refund his tithe so he can survive on earth (video)

Man tells

A Nigerian man has asked his church to refund all the money he has paid as tithe over the years because he is no longer interested in the heavenly race.

In an online video, the man, a member of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, explained that for years, his pastor used Matthew chapter 6 VS 19 to convince him to invest in God’s kingdom.

The verse reads: “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

“But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

Man tells

The young man claimed he was brainwashed by his pastor and invested heavily in the church, but his eyes are now open.

He stated that the Nigerian government and banks have failed him in the midst of the country’s current hardship, and he wants his church tithe returned.

The man, who stated that he has been a member of the church since 2013, then produced his tithe booklet as proof of the tithe he has paid for years. He said he will forego his offering and other donations because there is no proof.

The frustrated man went on to say that he does not want to starve to death on Earth and that he must pay his workers as well, so the church should refund his tithes.

“Good afternoon. Please do not use me as a tool to slight, insult or badmouth my Uncle. I’m not sure how we are perceived so I should clarify we stay united as a family and we intend on keeping it that way. Thank you.”

A Bayelsa-based Nigerian man, Vijay Inowei Eldred Opuma, has taken to social media to celebrate after a woman he simply identified as Ebere’s marriage crashed.

In the quite controversial post, Vijay noted that he’s usually filled with joy when he sees disrespectful women kicked out of their marriages.

He hinted that the said Ebere was not submissive to her husband, hence his delight that her marriage crashed.

“Glory be to the Most High. The street is getting full. I find this joy in my heart when I see disrespectful and submission lacking women get kicked out of their marriages into the street. We are now getting fewer ‘real men”. Ebiere, more are joining you in the street,” he said in a Facebook post on Thursday, February 9.

In other news, an abroad-based Nigerian man, Prince Liberty, has revealed that his wife is his account officer who handles all of his transactions.

Prince, from Enugu State, took to Facebook to make this revelation while reacting to a post of a man who said his wife knows his ATM pin, phone password and knows the amount that comes in and leaves his bank account.

In response, Prince stated that the man’s own is quite small in comparison to his, because he gave his wife his sim card and ATM cards before leaving Nigeria, so she can see all of his transactions.

Prince, who praised his wife, said even though she has unrestricted access to his bank account, she always seeks permission before withdrawing funds.

“There is no equality in marriage. The husband should always be the head” – Reno Omokri says

Reno Omokri says

Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri has averred that there is nothing like equality in marriage because the husband should always be the head.

He made this submission on Instagram while sharing the secret to making marriages work in this generation.

According to the social media commentator, 90% of marriages will be successful if women marry men they can willingly submit and obey.

Reno Omokri says

He added that men should also be prepared to provide for and care for their women before deciding to marry her.

Reno Omokri wrote,

“The happiest marriages happen when women choose, of their own free will, to marry men that they want to follow and obey.

The unhappiest marriages occur when women choose to marry men they do not want to follow and obey. There is no equality in marriage.

The husband should always be the head! When a man says to a woman, will you be my wife??, he is actually applying for a job. The job to be her boss, pay her bills, and to protect and honour her.

If you are not ready for the job, then do not apply for it! And if you do not want a boss, then do not accept his proposal. Forget wokeness. This simple rule will solve 90% of the problems in modern marriage.”

2Baba, netizens reacts as Ned Nwoko gushes over estranged wife, Laila and children

Nigerian billionaire and politician, Ned Nwoko, has stirred reactions after he took to social media to gush over his estrange wife, Laila Charani, and her kids.

This comes months after Laila, who announced her separation from him in November 2021, offered a public apology to him on her Instagram page.

In the apology post, she said her actions were not intentional and she allowed herself to listen to outsiders a tad bit too much.

“This is to my entire Ned Nwoko family. I have realised that I made mistakes that are not intentional. I listened too much to outsiders and I have decided to apologise to my husband and other members of the family. I want peace and progress in the family,” she wrote.

Ned, who didn’t publicly react to Laila’s apology, took to his Instagram page on Wednesday morning to gush over her and their kids together.

He flooded his Instagram page with adorable photos of his ex-wife and Kids, and wrote, “My beautiful babies”.

His post, however, elicited reactions from netizens who speculated that Ned and Laila have finally settled their differences and are back together.

“How is it fair that he can show love to his wife in front of me?” – Lady who claims to be dating best friend’s dad fumes

A 19-year-old lady who claims to be in a romantic relationship with her best friend’s dad has cried out online over the unfair treatment she’s experiencing at his hands.

The lady took to an online dating platform to vent her frustrations, claiming that the man behaves all lovey-dovey with his wife whenever she visits, which she finds upsetting.

She claimed she has a boyfriend her age who the sugar daddy knows about since he lives nearby, but he gets annoyed whenever he sees them together.

According to the disgruntled young lady, her sugar daddy publicly expresses his love for his wife in front of her but complains when he sees her with her young boyfriend.

“Hi Auntie Momoza.
I’m a 19 year old girl currently on gap year. Please keep me anonymous. I’m dating my best friend’s father, he is 46. My friend does not know about this. When I visit my friend he has this habit of deliberately being loveydovey with his wife in front of me. But later on he’ll be texting me asking for naughty pictures. I told him to consider my feelings when I’m at his house but he doesn’t.

When I want to break up with him he threatens to take the iPhone he bought for me. So I started dating a guy my age, he lives next-door from my sugar’s house. He gets angry everytime he sees me with the boy. How is it fair that he can show love to his wife in front of me but I can’t do the same when I’m with my boyfriend? Why is he being selfish and childish?”

“Rich Igbo people need to develop the East to stop all this unnecessary disrespect” – Rapper, Dandizzy

Rapper Dandizzy

Nigerian rapper, Daniel Tuotamuno Darius, better known as Dandizzy, has urged rich Igbo men and women to come together to develop the East.

He stated this on Twitter on Wednesday, February 9, in a seeming reaction to those criticizing Labour Party Presidential Candidate and former Anambra state Governor, Peter Obi, because of the state of the East.

The rapper said Igbos should develop their states in order to curb all the ‘unnecessary disrespect’ that they have been subjected to.

According to him, the wealthy should not only visit the East in December to throw parties and spray money, but should work together to develop the region.

He added that Easterners should also elect better governors who care about their interest and develop their states.

In a series of tweets, he wrote,

“Such a scary time to be an igbo man, rich igbo people need to just find a way to develop the East and stop spraying 200 naira notes in the East every December to stop all this unnecessary disrespect!!!

Igbo people need to elect people that care about the development of their own people they literally know how to make money why not develop your place???”
