“I can’t blame anyone for reducing their age. I know watin my ear don hear for this 33 years I de so.
“She’s above 30 and single”
“at 30 plus she doesn’t have this or that” there’s a way you will dress,you will hear “at your age”
People in thier 30’s can relate. The society espect vou to have made it in life at 30 or be married with kids and if you are not, you have failed. That’s why a lot of ladies rush into marriage, the fear of age shaming, “she never born at 30”
I’m speaking from experience,some shows won’t even select u cause of your age, the age shaming is crazy in this part of the world. My people if you must reduce your age to achieve a goal,
Reduce am,expecially when it has to do with your talent,career or a job,some record labels won’t give you a deal cause you old. Remember these trolls won’t pay your bills. They won’t feed your family.
Talent is not enough in this industry o.
If a celebrity doing well at a certain age will put you under pressure, then you need to work on your mental strength,be your own role model and believe you can make it at any age,no one is trying to pressure you. Keep pushing, live your life.”

Nigerian singer, Ọlawale Ọlọfọrọ, better known as Brymo, has for the umpteenth time apologized over his ‘bigoted’ rants against the Igbo tribe, which stirred an uproar on the internet.
Recall that the singer, who supports APC’s presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, declared that he would rather have an ailing president than an Igbo president that could lead the country into anarchy.
This statement did not sit well with the Igbos, especially Peter Obi supporters, who raised a petition to cancel him and stop him from winning the AFRIMA award.
Brymo who had refused to address the issue finally apologized when someone raised the issue on his Instagram live on Friday, 13 January.
According to the ‘Ara’ singer, the whole issue started with him hearing that Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie accepted a chieftaincy title in her hometown when she had refused some national honors.

Brymo explained his careless choice of words as him insinuating disinterest in the topic and apologized to all offended parties.
Well, the singer has in a new tweet shared online, pleaded for the forgiveness of those offended by his “bigoted spewings”, stating that he meant no harm.
The singer tweeted;
“Forgive my assertions that came across as bigoted spewings against the Igbo tribe, I did not mean to do harm, I am sorry!!”

Keep your opinions to yourself,
I don’t care how anyone feels about how I have decided to live my life.
Just focus on you and leave I and those I have decided to love out.
Beacuse we are very pretentious about showing real love, when we see real love we call it clout.”

It does no good. Stay away from drugs!!

I know that it feels like nobody understands your pain, you get depressed, tired, you feel alone but please, drugs and suicide is never an option.
Have a good night
Love, Alex.”

Popular singer and music executive, Michael Collins Ajereh popularly known as Don Jazzy, has averred that he only knows four faithful men in this world.
The Mavin Boss stated this in a recent interview with media personality, Nedu. and his crew on the “Honest Brunch” podcast, while speaking on fidelity in marriages.
Don Jazzy said most of his male friends who cheat on their wives always shun the possibility of their wives cheating on them because they can’t take what they dish.
He further stated that he only knows four men who are faithful to their wives in the whole world, and all other men cheats.
The 40-year-old singer however noted that there are levels to cheating because some men cheat and still show maximum respect to their wives and treat them well.
He noted that although that part of him may change when he meets his soulmate, for now he can’t be with only one woman.
“I wouldn’t be able to process the fact that if I like this person every other person should go to hell. As at now, in my life, when that butterfly hits me like it hits you people when you fall in love, maybe I will then say every other person is f*cked and this is who I like”. He said.
Nigerian comedian and actor, Ayodeji Richard Makun popularly known as AY Comedian, has said some traits like homosexuality can never be found in his family.
He stated this while responding to his sister-in-law, Grace Makun’s statement addressing rumours about her husband, celebrity stylist Yomi Casual’s sexuality.
Recall that Grace took to her Instagram page to tell people to stop making such disrespectful assumptions about her husband.
She said even though the Western fashion world is engulfed with such traits, it is not enough to tag her husband with what he is not.
She further averred that it’s not a crime for a man to look good, represent his brand, and pay quality attention to himself. Read here
In reaction to the post, AY told his sister-in-law to ignore the naysayers because they are only looking for entertainment.
He further dismissed the gay allegation as false, and said such traits can never be traced to his bloodline.
AY wrote in the comment section,
“It’s all about entertainment for this evil people.
There are traits you will never ever trace to the Makuns. You already know who you marry, go to bed.
As for the bloggers, I still have their tablets. Them go use back up account when I strike as usual. Awon werey”
