Ghanaian media reports that the family members of the businessman accused his second wife of denying them access to him.

In the trending clip, family members of the businessman were seen exchanging words in his hospital room while Asoma Banda, who is currently bedridden and immobile, was fighting for his life on his sickbed.
The first wife was heard demanding for money while stating that she has been legally married to the ailing businessman for 48 years so she has right to his money.
One of the sons of the business magnate also showed the frail hands of his father and claimed that one of his sons has been signing his documents and cheques, claiming that their sick father is the one signing the cheques when he’s visibly incapable of doing that.
Asoma Banda is reportedly the first man to own a ship and an airplane in Ghana.

Queen Tobi Phillips, the third wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has stated that domestic violence is her deal-breaker in a relationship.
Speaking in a recent interview on TVC, the former World Miss University Africa (WMUA) maintained that she would not tolerate any form of abuse and would leave a marriage if her husband ever raised his hand at her.

Her words,
“My deal breaker is don’t ever lay your hands on me. If that happens it’s over. And he (Ooni of Ife) is not that kind of person. If you have a relationship where you can communicate and share your likes and dislikes and you respect each other. With that, you guys will not get to the point where you are clashing.

The new governor of Osun State, Ademola Adeleke, has revealed his predecessor, Gboyega Oyetola, took an N18 billion loan after the July governorship election in the state.
On Thursday, December 15, Adeleke told traditional rulers in Osogbo that the state is in debt to the tune of N407.32 billion.
According to him, there was no detailed record of how Oyetola spent the loan he received before or after the election.
Adeleke stated that his government inherited eight credit facilities, as well as a pension and debts, with payback terms ranging from 16 months to 28 years.
In his words;
“My good people of Osun state, the total loan stock as at today is N331.32 billion. If the N76 billion debt on salaries and pension are added, the state is indebted to the tune of N407.32 billion . The amount owed to contractors is yet to be determined.
The only fund in government coffers, as at Monday 29th November, was for November 2022 Salary. Otherwise, the state treasury was empty.
As your governor, I will ask questions on your behalf and will demand for answers. Governor Oyetola must explain how the N331 billion borrowed in the name of Osun state was expended, with no obvious infrastructural development to justify this huge debt.
Governor Oyetola must explain how the N18 billion bridge loan taken after he lost the election on July 16, 2022, was expended.
Governor Oyetola must also explain why Osun state is owing salaries & pension to the tune of N76 Billion after collecting a N50 billion salary bail out Loan from the federal government
The creditors, especially the Commercial Banks must explain why various loans were given to an administration beyond its 4 year tenure. 28 years is equivalent to the tenure of at least four Governors.
A child that is born today would have earned a PhD at 28 years of age. This is nothing but mortgaging the future of Osun state with nothing to show for it. This is definitely not acceptable.”

Popular Nigerian singer, Oyinkansola Sarah Aderibigbe professionally known as Ayra Starr, has confessed that she had always desired to be a teenage popstar, which explains why she dresses the way she does.
The 20-year-old Nigerian popstar explained in a recent interview with Guap Magazine that one of the reasons she dresses the way she does is to encourage young people to feel empowered when they see her.
In response to a question about whether she considers herself an Afrobeats Gen-Z ambassador, Ayra Starr said that she does, citing how she does so through her music.
In her words;
“I don’t know where it comes from but I feel like I have this responsibility to kind of show my generation what we can be and what we can do and I think I’m doing that through my music.
I’ve always wanted to be a teenage popstar because I never saw that growing up and all the teenage pop stars I saw were white – there were no black teenage pop stars. I remember being like ‘I want to be a teenage popstar, I want my younger sister and her friends to be able to watch my videos and say I want to be that’ That’s why I still do things like wear pink, because I want girls to be able to feel powerful when they see me.
I feel like I have a responsibility to do that for my generation and the generation that’s coming. I want to inspire people.”
