Nigerian singer, Paul Okoye’s girlfriend, Ifeoma has taken to social media to address jealous people.
Taking to her Instagram story, the model called out people who are always filled with rage whenever they see other people doing well.
According to Ifeoma, jealous people should understand that nobody was trying to spite them with their success as they did not know the struggle people faced to get to their current status.
In her words;
“When you see someone doing well, rather than let your emotions become jealousy, rage and eventually, lead to depression, see it as a form of inspiration, or a reason to keep going/ do better…
Nobody is trying to “pepper” you, you’re the one seeing it that way
And you don’t know exactly what the person had to go through to get there
It’s normal to feel bad about yourself when you feel “stuck”, and it seems someone else is doing so much better, but after sulking and hating yourself, what exactly would it solve?
That person is not your enemy”

Reality TV star, Chinonso Ibinabo Opara better known as Kim Oprah, has responded to a follower who insinuated that she used a ‘grounded’ jet to take pictures on her birthday.
This comes weeks after the former beauty queen, who turned 27 on December 15, 2022, chartered a customized private jet to celebrate her birthday.
She had posted a video with the customized jet which was decorated with balloons and her name boldly written on the aircraft.
In the video, Kim could be seen catwalking on the walkway before entering the private jet which had its interior decorated with customized balloons as well.
Eventhough it’s been a month since she posted the video, a follower took to the comment section to imply that she only rented the jet to take pictures and didn’t fly in it.
“How much did you pay to take pictures in that grounded jet?” the follower asked.
Reacting to the question, Kim gave a rather civil response to the follower, explaining how she was able to brand the jet and do as she pleased in it.
She further disclosed that she flew in the private jet with some friends and her make-up crew.
“They usually don’t let anyone brand Jets, but I always get what I want … as you can hear them popping the balloons, as it’s a risk to fly with.
Anyways! I don’t know about paying to take pictures but if you pay for a flight you can do whatever you want,” Kim responded in a TikTok video.
Popular gospel minister,Dunsin Oyekan has in a video making rounds online tackled Christians who listen to secular music and boldly share it on social media.
Speaking in his church recently, the ‘Fragrance to Fire’ singer said people who listen to both gospel and secular singers like Asake are in a confused state because they can’t hear from God.
He added that he is always surprised when same set of people claim they are unapologetically children of God despite listening to worldly music.
He said;
“At the end of the year, when people were tagging some of us for their Spotify, Apple review for the year, and the people they listen to, you will see one secular musician. And then you will see Nathaniel Bassey. I’d say what is he doing there?
Your confidence baffles me, how will you hear God, you are living in a confused state. Someone is telling you as it is with the world, another is telling you how it is with God, which one do you want to pick. Nathaniel Bassey does it for me but you just played brother Asake. And you are bold to share it online. Sometimes I look at their profile some of them will write unapologetically a child of God.”
Popular Instagram skit maker, Nons Miraj, has shared her chat with Nigerian media personality, Nedu, to dispel rumours of an affair with politician Dino Melaye.
The alleged “sugar daddy saga” involving Nons Miraj, her colleague Ashmusy, and politician Dino Melaye started when On Air Personality, Nedu, recounted how he caught two famous influencers having threesome with his wealthy friend in Abuja during a podcast.
According to him, he walked in on the popular Internet celebrities having sex with the rich man at the Transcorp Hilton hotel in Abuja, though he concealed their identities.
Amid the buzz, Nedu’s revelation stirred, and controversial Instagram blogger Gistlover posted a photo collage of Dino, Ashmusy, and Nons Miraj while hinting at exposing their escapades.
It appears the anonymous blogger’s post made many social media users speculate that Ashmusy and her friend, Nons Miraj, are allegedly the ladies Nedu referred to in his podcast.
So to clear their names, she (Nons Miraj) sent a private message to Nedu on Instagram, asking him to reveal the identities of the ladies.
In the chat, she noted that she wants to get married in 2023 and doesn’t want anything to deter her plans.
However, reacting to her plea to reveal the identities of the celebrities involved in the group intercourse, Nedu told Nons Miraj to ignore the rumours.
He noted that he deliberately ignored their names for obvious reasons.

“What makes a happy home is a man’s attitude and character towards his wife and kids not how he performs in bed. Redirect your priorities!! Don’t stress “Missionaries”, he wrote.

Grace Moses, mother of the 27-year-old man who claims to be the biological son of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos state, has spoken up.
It would be recalled that in December 2022, Emmanuel filed a lawsuit against the governor in a Delta State High Court, compelling him to acknowledge him as his son and grant him all the rights he duly deserve.
In his 19-paragraph statement, Emmanuel claimed the governor worked at a private company in Delta State from 1994 to 1995, and in the course of living and working in the state, had an amorous relationship with his mother which resulted in his birth. He then requested that a DNA test be done to prove his statement.
Emmanuel, who does “casual jobs” to provide for his wife and three kids, had told newsmen in December that he has not met his father since he was born.
“I am 100 per cent sure that I am the son of Governor Sanwo-Olu. I just want to see the man, Sir, as my father.”
After the first court hearing in December, Gov Sanwo-Olu’s legal counsel filed a mention to strike out the cause because the governor was not ready to wave his immunity. However, the case resumed for hearing on Monday, January 17.
The 47-year-old mother of Emmanuel, who spoke to newsmen after the court hearing, said she is certain that Sanwo-Olu is her son’s father.
“My message to Sanwo-Olu is, he should come and have his child. The baby is grown up. He is troubling me. If not for God, I would have been dead by now.
Because of the pregnancy I couldn’t go to school due to pressure from my mother who chased me out of the house because they had waited for Sanwo-Olu to no avail.
In my bid to abort the pregnancy, I drank “lime, but E no gree commot.
I started selling pig for people and got paid N150 which I used for the upkeep of myself and the baby. The baby is now grown and he’s threatening to kill me if I do not show him his father.”
The woman claimed that she met the Lagos State governor in 1995 when she was 19.
“Governor Sanwo-Olu was working with an oil company, Saipem, at Ubogo Community in Udu Local Government Area of Delta State at that time.
We began a relationship which resulted in pregnancy. The governor took me to a hospital in Agbarho Community, Ughelli North Local Government Area where he terminated the pregnancy.
After few days, Sanwo-Olu also had sex with me which resulted in another pregnancy. Since then, Sanwo-Olu abandoned me and travelled out of the state on the grounds that he was transferred to work in Maiduguri, Borno State. I was left to carry the pregnancy and delivered the baby all alone without the assistance of Sanwo-Olu and any member of his family. I told my son, Emanuel Sanwo-Olu that his father is not a cripple. Up till now, he has refused to grant me and his son, Emmanuel Sanwo-Olu audience.”
Nigerian activist and radio personality,Ahmed Isah, has sparked a debate online over his stance on men kneeling to propose to a woman.
Speaking in a video making rounds online, Ahmed Isah said it’s not African for a man to kneel before a woman in the name of proposing to her, and any man who does that is a “finished” man.
He added that kneeling to ask for a woman’s hand in marriage shows who will be in charge of the relationship and marriage.

God bless your good works sir”

A 99-year-old Kenyan man, Johana Maritim Butuk, has finally tied the nuptial knot with his girlfriend, Alice Jemeli, after 20 years of dating.
Butuk and his 40-year-old lover got married in a colourful wedding ceremony in Soy, Uasin Gishu County, on Saturday, January 14, 2023.
The couple exchanged their marriage vows at the nearby St. Mark’s Soybean Catholic Church, and locals who attended the ceremony described it as very colorful.
According to reports, Jemeli was only 20 years old when they first met in 2003, and Butuk was 69. Despite their age differences, their love blossomed, and they are now husband and wife.

The Standard reports that it was Butuk’s first marriage since he has never dated a woman in the 99 years he has lived. However, Jemeli has three children from a previous relationship and is happy Butuk has accepted them.
Speaking in a chat with Standard, Batuk said that when he met Jemeli, he discovered that she was everything he wanted in life.
“I did not marry my entire life because I have always wanted peace of mind. I was also busy with menial jobs, and when I decided to marry all my friends were already grandfathers. But when I met my wife, I discovered that I found what I wanted in life. Alice talks less and helps navigate challenges in life.
“She was young when we first met, and I loved her because of her humility. I was first introduced to her by a woman called Tabasei, and ;we connected well despite the age differences. I am happy because my wife is now mature and responsible.” He said.
The wife on her part, said,
“I loved him when we first met in 2003. I had quit an abusive relationship, but when I met Mzee (Butuk) through a woman, I loved him because he was humble and listened to me. He was old, and I decided to be his helper because I knew that I would become a married woman like other women”.
She added that Butuk was homeless and unkempt when they first met, and she prides in changing his life. Butuk lived with one of his brothers, only identified as arap Kenei, who died in 2010.
“I have been late in many things, but today I am happy because I am a married man. I was initiated in 1943, way after my age mates had been circumcised. I am confident that the happiness in my marriage will make me live longer,” the happy groom continued.
