“Men have no business getting married before 40 because they are not ready” – Uti Nwachukwu

Nollywood actor and media personality, Uti Nwachukwu has divulged why he believes men and women have no business getting married before the age of 40 and 30 respectively.

Uti who is still single shared his reasons during a new interview with Toke Makinwa on ‘Toke Moments’.

According to Uti, it was best to take time to live life and weigh your options until you are ready to fully commit to a relationship.

He said;

“That is why I am not married yet. I might be Kamala Harris’ age when I decide to get married, I don’t know. Until you are ready.
I don’t believe in monogamy when you’re young but there are exceptions to every rule. Do you understand? There are some people that monogamy would work for when they’re young but the average person, I’ve always said, I don’t think any man has any business marrying before 40.
To me oh, it doesn’t make me right. Between 35 – 40, I will say 35 – 40.
For women, apart from those that are afraid of their biological clock, but then again, how many children do women want these days? And please there is technology these days too. I don’t think any woman should be married before 30.
You have to experience life as a single. You have to weigh your options. For me, leave the spiritual contract of it, the same way I will say leave a government contract of it, because marriage is a contract between you, me, and God.
Leave contract, leave agreement. If you don’t want to commit to somebody, don’t make it official, whether in the presence of God, whether in the presence of the government, whether in the presence of your family. Once you agree, integrity is integrity. There is no excuse.”

Sonia Ekweremadu loses bid to be excused from her parent’s trial

Sonia Ekweremadu, the 25-year-old daughter of former Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, has lost her bid to be excused from her parent’s trials n in the UK.

Justice Johnson at the Old Bailey denied Sonia’s request to not stand trial with her father and mother on ‘conspiracy to harvest organs’ allegations.

Sonia was docked with her mother, Beatrice. Ike Ekweremadu, on the other hand, watched the events through video conference.

He sat motionless as the court concluded that Sonia was not unfit to face a “criminal trial spanning seven weeks,” as her defense attorney, Femi Oni, had claimed.

Sonia’s counsel and the Crown prosecutor utilized expert witness testimony and report to back up their claims in court.

After the application for a stay of proceedings was denied on the grounds that she is medically and psychologically unfit due to her ongoing thrice-weekly dialysis, both sides of the bench led their expert witnesses in testimony via video link, beginning with the Manchester-based professor that Oni had lined up.
The professor also relied on the report of a consultant psychiatrist.

Dr. Andrews served as Dr. Davies’ expert witness. Though he acknowledged having no direct consultation with Sonia, he indicated that if the court’s meeting times were altered to afternoons to suit her treatment days, she would be capable of standing trial. In his evidence, Andrew informed the court that “residual dialysis symptoms do not make it difficult to attend trial.

After hearing from the barristers and their expert witnesses, including their reports, and acknowledging that the treatment is taxing her and that she has had to withdraw from her Masters degree program as a result of her diagnosis, the judge stated that it is not confirmed that her recovery or clinical care would suffer if she were to stand trial.

Celebrity stylist, Toyin Lawani, has countered a man who asserted that the majority of men will never settle for a single mother.

The debate started after Nollywood actress Uche Ogbodo, who recently tied the knot with her younger lover, Bobby Maris, urged single mothers not to give up on love while using herself as an example.

She opined that God’s timing is best and the right person will find them in due time.

“Morning Motivation for my Single Ladies & Single Mothers gang who have given up hope ……. Gods Time is the Best , the right person is out there, he will find you when you ain’t even searching 😊😊…. Just be yourself, work hard on yourself and leave your heart Open 😊, Forgive who hurt you , Always Pray , and believe you will be ok.😎”, she wrote.

“I can cope with infidelity just not abuse” – Actress, Foluke Daramola-Salako

Popular Nollywood actress and filmmaker, Foluke Daramola-Salako has revealed that she would not end a romantic relationship with her partner over infidelity.

The actress stated this in response to the controversy surrounding her support for the All Progressives Congress despite her marriage to Labour Party Chieftain, Kayode Salako.

Foluke Daramola-Salako revealed in an interview with Saturday Beats that she could live with infidelity in relationships and marriages, but she cannot deal with any kind of abuse.

She said;

“The fact that my husband is a chieftain of the Labour Party does not change the fact that we are in a marriage and we respect each other’s opinion and feelings. If someone wants to lord their opinions over me, I would see it as a form of abuse. I can deal with infidelity in relationships and marriage, but I cannot deal with any form of abuse. If my husband had exhibited a domineering nature or I felt like I was in some sort of bondage, the relationship won’t work. But so far, he has been liberal, and it is working for us.
I studied International Law and Relations in school. I was also a director of socials with the student union at a time. I have always been politically inclined.
Acting was a means of survival for me, but politics is my first love.”

“There’s nothing embarrassing about a man crying, you are the one with the problem” – Solomon Buchi slams trolls that were disappointed he cried on his wedding day

Controversial media personality, Solomon Buchi, has replied trols who dragged him for crying on his wedding day.

Recall that Solomon married his heartthrob, Arike amidst tears in a beautiful ceremony two days ago.

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”

“I think about my nephew and my dad when I need to cry for movie roles” – Bimbo Ademoye (video)

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.”
