“She hurt me. She hurt me so much. Not one, not twice. Sorry I can’t say. I tried to keep it cause I love her. I love Chinenye so much. I saw a girl coming from a ‘rich’ background and that I wanted to help. I meant well for her. I don’t want to give people story to talk about”. She said.

While Chinenye Eucharia has yet to respond to her mother’s accusation of being ungrateful and hurting her, Eucharia’s friend and content creator, Koffiseed, has spoken out about what happened between the two.

“Let me tell you when I started healing; when I stopped sleeping with my husband. I was celibate in my marriage for three years before getting a divorce. There are different kinds of red flags that we women in love are so blinded by, I was thinking in the beginning that I have found someone else that would make me happy. That’s the most selfish thinking that any human being can have for another human being.” she said.

The couple decided to bury their differences and celebrate their son as a family.

“About yesterday, for the love of King Sean.”

Michelle Obama says she ‘couldn’t stand’ husband Barack Obama for 10 years of marriage (Video)

Former First Lady, Michelle Obama has revealed that she could not stand her husband, former US President Barack Obama, for ten years of their marriage when their daughters were young.

Michelle made this disclosure during a candid round-table interview with Revolt on Thursday, while she spoke about the challenges of raising two young daughters while advancing their careers and the strain it put on the marriage.

“We don’t talk about how much work is required and how hard it is even when you are madly in love with the person, even when everything works out right. People think I’m being catty by saying this: it’s like, there were 10 years where I couldn’t stand my husband. And guess when it happened? When those kids were little.” She said.

According to her, it was tough balancing raising the girls with their own hectic schedules.

“And for 10 years while we’re trying to build our careers and, you know, worrying about school and who’s doing what and what, I was like, ‘Ugh, this isn’t even. And guess what? Marriage isn’t 50/50, ever, ever.

“There are times I’m 70, he’s 30. There are times he’s 60, 40, but guess what: 10 years — we’ve been married 30. I would take 10 bad years over 30 — it’s just how you look at it. And people give up . . . ‘five years; I can’t take it.” She added.

Speaking further, she said,

“Malia and Sasha Obama were 10 and 7, respectively, when their father was elected president. Little kids, they’re terrorists. They have demands. They don’t talk. They’re poor communicators. They cry all the time. They’re irrational. They’re needy. And you love them. And so you can’t blame them, right? . . . So you turn that ire on each other.

Throughout the ups and downs, Michelle said she still admired her spouse. She stressed it’s important to know “your person.” Do you like him? I mean you could be mad at him but do you still look at him and go ‘I’m not happy with you, but I respect you,’ ” she said. “ ‘I don’t agree with you but you’re still a kind, smart person.”

“How Lagos policeman killed my pregnant wife” – Slain lawyer, Bolanle Raheem’s husband narrates (Audio)

Gbenga Raheem, the husband of Lagos-based lawyer, Bolanle Raheem, who was shot to death by a police officer on Christmas Day, December 25, has recounted the unfortunate incident.

In a trending audio recording narrating the incident that led to the death of his pregnant wife, Gbenga said he, his wife, and other family members that had visited them for the holiday had gone to a nearby church for service on Christmas day.

After their service at church, they decided to go out to an eatery since it was Christmas.

He said on their way back home, they made a U-turn under the Ajah bridge when they met some police officers stopping and searching cars.

Gbenga Raheem said that he suddenly heard a loud crack on his wife’s side window, only to discover that she had been shot and blood was gushing from her chest.

“On December 25, my wife, nieces, nephews, and cousins, who had come for the holiday, all went to church. On our way back, my wife said since it was Christmas Day, we should take everyone out, so, we went to a supermarket at Abraham Adesanya, then to Domino’s Pizza.

“After that, we headed towards Ajah to do a U-turn to come back to Abraham Adesanya. When we took the U-turn, we saw policemen stopping some vehicles. As we approached them, they said we should stop, and in the process, we heard a loud sound on my wife’s side window. All of a sudden, I saw blood gushing out of her chest.

“I immediately ran out; my sister-in-law, who was also with us, ran out and held the policeman; he cocked his gun at her too. Talking to him was pointless, so I went to see if anything could be done; I saw my wife gasping for breath, and by that time, my sister-in-law had brought the policeman into the car and pushed him into the front seat.

“We drove to a hospital but they said they couldn’t handle it; we eventually took her to Grandville Hospital, where she was confirmed dead. The policemen took her body and put it in the truck; they wanted me to follow them but I said I needed to go and settle my children.” He said.

Taking to her official Instagram page to react to the news, Mercy shared her joy as she revealed that she had been working on the project for a while with some of the most amazing actors in the industry. She also noted that she could not wait for people to see it in the coming year.

She wrote;

“It’s been a long time coming, I can’t wait for you all to see this one, I did this with the most amazing, talented award winning Nollywood actors. #shantytown is a must-watch. 20th January”

In related news, Mercy Eke, has opined that relationships produced from the reality TV show are a big scam.

She stated this in an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, while revisiting her failed relationship with her co-star, Ike Onyema.

Recall that the couple, who met during the BBNaija 2019 edition, started dating on the show and continued till the show ended.

They even had a reality TV show called “Mercy & Eke” where they documented their love life and marriage plans. Sadly, their relationship hit the rocks in 2020.

Speaking in the recent interview, Mercy Eke said she stayed with Ike because of the money involved otherwise she would have dumped him.

According to Mercy, she genuinely liked Ike at first but at some point, their relationship became performative and was majorly for the camera.

She said if she knew that she was a strong housemate during the show, she wouldn’t have dated Ike because their relationship was not working.

Her words,

“BBNaija relationships are the biggest scam, it was even original for me initially, as a matter of fact, if I had known that I was a strong housemate and that people loved me for me, I wouldn’t have bothered getting involved with him.

I wouldn’t say it was a strategy, for me, we flowed with it but we had to put up a show even when not happy for people who aren’t even in relationships. If it is not working out, you move but in my case I couldn’t, I had to be there cos of money, otherwise, I won’t have my complete money.”
