According to Daniel, his stepmother, Stellamaris was being brainwashed by outsiders who continually put her against Jasmine.
He stated that when the actor became unwell, it was Jasmine who cared for him while his wife was in Cyprus.
Stellamaris Okafor, wife of veteran Nollywood actor, John Okafor, popularly known as Mr. Ibu, has cried out for help over fidelity issues with her husband and a lady identified as Jasmine, claiming to be his daughter.
Recall that last year Jasmine had gone viral on TikTok parading Mr. Ibu as her father and making numerous videos with him.
The actress’s wife sought out to an Instagram blog, where she opened up about her marriage’s struggles and Jasmine’s scheme to sell her husband’s home valued over N65 million.
Stella claims that she has been suffering in her marriage because her husband has abandoned her and their children since last year to pursue al relationship with Jasmine.

Mr. Ibu’s wife further stated that their children are presently absent from school due to a lack of funds, as Jasmine, the actor’s bank account manager, has refused to sanction the payment of their school fees.

It is very evident that some persons have been deliberately and desperately trying to TAINT my reputation and “change the narrative” in order to suit their agenda. This is unacceptable to me.

Taking to his Twitter account, Solomon shared a lengthy narrative on why he was not embarrassed to shed tears while starting forever with the love of his life.
He wrote;
“Why will a man cry on his wedding day, it’s so embarrassing…”
–
No dear, it’s not embarrassing, it’s your brain that’s hanging. I cried on my wedding day because I’m human. Because in that moment, a lot flashed before me; all my struggles up until becoming a husband.
I know where I come from, I know what I’ve been through. I know the pain I’ve experienced. I know how many times I almost gave up. I missed my late mom’s presence. I wished she was there, because I always told her that I’d marry a woman like her.
It’s utterly disgusting and indicative of a cracked skull to think a man is weak for crying on his wedding day. It’s such a big responsibility that tears aren’t enough to ask God for help to lead as godly men ought to.
You that haven’t cried in 10 years, strong man. Why haven’t you won WWE world championship? What has your lack of tears in 40 years earned you? The love from most people has been overwhelming, however, some e-diots have decided to be killjoys.
Lastly, I’ve seen agenda oh from the coven. They said I forced my name on my wife. How dare she bear a man’s both names. Hello dear, I’ve always been an advocate of women CHOOSING if they wanna take their husbands name or not. It’s their choice. That’s my belief.
And when I asked my wife, she chose to change it. See, give up already from being a winch. You guys have tried from all angles, nothing shook me(us) and you’ll still trying. Don’t you get that we are built on a solid rock[Christ]? If you want to break us, break Christ.
Get tired of the bullying. Get a job. Go for therapy. I’m a lost cause. Lost to the kingdom; lost to God. So is my family. Rest. We only show you what we want you to know. You know nothing than photos we share lol. Sorry, my wife has asked me to drop my phone. Expect more fire”

Popular Nollywood actress, Bimbo Ademoye has shared two incidents she thinks of whenever she has to cry during a movie role.
Speaking during an episode of “Lilian’s Couch“, with Lily Afegbai, he thespian explained that she finds it easy to cry when she thinks about some experiences she has gone through.
Bimbo narrated how terrible she felt after feeding her nephew a hot meal that burnt him and how her dad who is emotionally strong once cried while he was sick.
According to her, those were the major things that make her emotional and easily cause her to tear up.
She said;
“When I’m trying to cry, one thing I don’t like to do as an actor when I’m crying is: there’s this expo where you just open your eyes and then it starts to like bring out water.
It has even been scientifically proven that the tears that you cry from inside and the ones that you just open your eyes is different. Your eyes roll differently, and the redness of your eyes is different. So anytime I try to channel tears like that, I think about so many things that have brought me hurt, that I’ve not been able to handle. And it could be anything silly.
One day I was feeding my nephew – y’all know how much I love my baby, that’s my everything. I was feeding him so I, am about to cry again, so I was feeding my nephew and that boy is my best friend, he’s like my everything. So I was feeding him, he was still a baby, and I didn’t know that the food in the feeding bottle was hot. So as I gave it to him, he screamed, and he started to cry. I felt like I had betrayed him. Cuz I was supposed to protect him. He was crying like a baby you know, just tiny itsy bitsy pain, and I just saw my sister laughing. I was like what is funny? She was like you look stupid. I was literally begging him like “papa, I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to.
So those are the kinds of situations that I think about when I want to cry, because that day I felt broken. Like my god, my baby, I didn’t mean to hurt you, I’ll protect you with my life, I was talking to him like “Papa I’m so sorry, I didn’t know the food was hurt, I’m sorry, forgive me”. You know things like that.
Like one time when my dad was sick and I was sick. I was very young, I think I was in JSS 2 at the time. So he was lying down and then I heard him crying. My sister was in boarding house so it was just both of us at home.
So I heard him crying and my dad is the strongest human being I have ever met in my life. If my father tells you he has a headache, he’s dying. God forbid, but that’s, like, he doesn’t talk. So for him to cry, I was so scared. I had to tell him “don’t leave me. You cannot leave me”.
Then he started to cry too like I’m not leaving you, I’m not going anywhere, we’re here together. So situations like that, when I think about it, it just breaks me and then I channel that to become that character.”

Big Brother Naija star and disc jockey, Tolani Baj has addressed men who complain when a woman asks them for money.
In a video she shared online, the reality TV star opined that looking beautiful is expensive, so a woman needs money from her man to maintain her beauty.

Pere has never been violent all his life and the image being portrayed was a picture with his friend, a colleague who’s happily married. These types of false information do not affect Pere alone but the innocent friend who’s just showing support to him.”

A man is suing a woman in Singapore for £1.9 million over “emotional trauma” after she refused to be his girlfriend after four years of friendship.
The man, identified as K Kawshigan, a director at drone company D1 Racing, filed two lawsuits against Nora Tan Shu Mei after she rejected him, alleging her actions damaged his “stellar reputation” and caused him to lose at least five business partnerships.
However, Ms. Tan filed a counter-suit in which she is seeking money that she says she spent on securing her home from Mr. Kawshigan and on counselling sessions.
According to her, she had to install a digital door viewer, an alarm sensor, and a smart video doorbell to protect herself from the unwanted suitor, and she is seeking about £900 in total to cover the costs of the equipment and future counselling.
A magistrate’s court judgement published on January 28 shows that Mr. Kawshigan filed two lawsuits against Ms. Tan after their friendship broke down when she told him that she only saw him as a friend, Channel News Asia reports.
He initially sued Ms. Tan for 22,000 Singapore dollars, claiming she “breached an agreement” to improve their relationship, but this was thrown out by the magistrates’ court, which called it an abuse of process.
The court said it would not be an accessory to Mr. Kawshigan’s “calculated attempt to compel engagement” from Ms. Tan, CNA reported.
Now, Mr. Kawshigan is suing Ms. Tan for 3 million Singapore dollars (£1.9 million) in the Singapore High Court for a variety of damages he claims she caused him, including the trauma he says he suffered when she told him she only saw him as a friend.
A Singapore High Court listing says the case is scheduled for February 9.
Kawshigan and Ms. Tan met in 2016 and became friends. It’s gathered that they were both members of the Rotary Club of Bugis Junction.
According to Ms. Tan, their friendship began to fall apart when they “became misaligned about how they saw their relationship.”
Ms. Tan said she told Mr. Kawshigan that she saw him only as a friend but that he considered her his “closest friend.” Ms. Tan later said she wished to reduce their social interactions.
Meanwhile, Kawshigan accused Ms. Tan of defamatory conduct against him in June 2019 and December 2020.
He claimed she made false allegations, and other parties present overheard their conversations. He claims Ms. Tan told him she was feeling harassed by his actions, which included standing in her way on a doorstep.
Mr. Kawshigan also claims she defamed him by stating loudly, “He is unnecessarily serving court documents to me personally, and he has not tried other ways available to him.”
He said she was speaking close to a microphone in July 2022 and was therefore heard by other nearby people.
He claims Ms. Tan’s actions caused damage to his “stellar reputation” and resulted in “trauma” and “depression” over the past two years.
He also claims he lost five business partnerships as a result of the ongoing disagreements and that he now struggles to win new clients.

In other news, Popular Nollywood actress, Beverly Naya has disclosed how she was bullied as a child for not fitting the beauty standards.
According to her, she was not beautiful as a child because of some skin conditions and also crooked teeth which caused her peers to mock her.
“In my formative years, I was always getting bullied for one thing or the other.
No no matter what school I was in, I always felt like there was always going to be something that I was going to get attacked for.
So, when I was younger, I was an ugly duckling. I wasn’t cute. I don’t care what my mom says.
I was not a cute kid. I had crooked teeth and eczema. I just didn’t look good as far as I was concerned. And as far as people around me were concerned.
I used to get called ‘snakeskin, buck teeth, light bulb head, football legs’. Just different kinds of stuff and then I just blossomed. My skin cleared, I got braces, and I just kind of blossomed.
And I started to kind of feel beautiful for the first time in my life around 16. I think I probably was owning it a bit too much for some people in my school. I got bullied for that and it really broke me.
I was like ‘look, I can’t win’. When I was younger, I was getting bullied for being ugly and unattractive.
And now I finally feel like I’m beautiful and I’m trying to own it, that’s now the problem. I’m now getting bullied for that. So, I got ganged up on and ended up with a black eye, and a chipped tooth, on the same day.”
Students of the University of Benin (UNIBEN) have clashed with soldiers of the Nigerian Army over what many alleged to be oppression by military officers.
The soldiers clashed with the students after trying to withdraw money from the school ATM and allegedly ordered students to lie down.
This did not sit well with several students, culminating in an exchange of words and the institution’s Chief Security Officer (CSO) involvement.
The soldiers were alleged to have attacked and slapped the CSO, who had tried to make peace between the soldiers and the students.
According to a source at the scene;
“The soldiers came into the school to withdraw the new naira notes. And they told all students to lie down. Some Uniben students did not agree and started dragging with them. The fight escalated, and was taken to the school security office.
The soldiers slapped the CSO and injured two students who were taken to UBTH. The school security still allowed them to leave. SUG and other comrades got angry and blocked the expressway.
The soldiers did the same thing yesterday. They told students to lie down while they withdrew money.”
State Police Command PRO, Chidi Nwabuzor, stated that he was outside Benin and unaware of the clash.
Confirming the clash, Iwegbu Jennifer, the State Command 2I/C PRO, said the soldiers from S and T barracks had broken students’ phones and injured some of them, including the Uniben CSO. Angered by the act, the police spokesperson said students retaliated, and the whole clash escalated.
According to her, the situation was only calmed after the soldiers’ RSM got involved, promising to look into the matter.
The PRO of the institution Mrs. Benedicta Ehanire said: “The VC (Vice Chancellor) has spoken to them (students) and the Army authorities.”

1 dont know why people think struggling is cute, it’s not, u struggled and made money, why do u want ur kids to struggle? Is it struggle competition?
U are in ur late 70’s, ur child has mental problems and a child and she clearly needs ur help, u cut her off anyways that’s why this kids are killing their parents for inheritance.
If u have money,ur kids should not lack anything I mean nothing even if they want it in excess, give them, when u aren’t here, they will figure it out. I know tons of wealthy men and women and their children don’t have a $
Why do u have the damn money? For who? But they give their sugar babies money but won’t give their own children.”
