If your girlfriend always posts her pictures on social media, withdraw your commitment to her – Nigerian man advises men

Nigerian man advices

A Nigerian man, identified simply as Olufemi, has advised men to breakup with their girlfriend if she posts her photos on social media frequently.

The man with handle @Luckyflows1 stated that a woman who always posts her pictures online is indirectly passing a message to her boyfriend that she’s available to other men.

According to him, women crave for attention and validation so if she’s constantly sharing her pictures on social media, she’s seeking for the attention of other men.

Nigerian man advises

He said it’s understandable if the woman is single because she’s putting herself out there for available men to woo her, but it’s wrong for a woman in a committed relationship to constantly post her pictures online.

Read his lengthy post below,

“If you’re dating a woman who is always uploading her pictures on social media, withdraw your commitment to her because she is indirectly telling you that she is available to other men. Any woman who is always posting pictures of herself on social media is craving the attention of other men. The game for women is to put themselves at a position where men will see them and approach them because women don’t approach. Men are the ones who do the approaching.

Some women will say “ I’m posting the pictures for myself to make myself feel good “ if that’s the case why not hide the pictures where only her sees them ? Or better still keep the pictures in her gallery and go view them whenever she’s doesn’t feel good about herself since the pictures are for her eye only… women enjoy attention generally even from the men they won’t date or give a chance!

They enjoy validation from every angle, now some will come and say “ I get attention however I dress “ just to justify you letting them post pictures online, if she’s single it’s a different ball game, at least she’s putting herself out there, and don’t let her guilt trip you or shame you that it’s because you’re insecure and a secure man wouldn’t mind, all those manipulation tactics is to play with your Ego into letting them do whatever they want, while they restrict you from doing whatever you want, if she’s secure as well she’ll let you sleep with other women since at the end of the day she’s your main chick ! 😂 see how it is when I flip the role ?

The thing is a secure man has boundaries and you either follow his rules or you get kicked back to the streets, it’s actually an insecure man that lets his woman do whatever she wants because he’s scared of loosing her and doesn’t think he can replace her so he lets her behave like she’s single even when she already has his commitment and Mr Bingo will play safe thinking he’s wise unknown to him that he’s been manipulated. Know this and know peace.”

 9-year-old boy narrates how his aunt allegedly locks him up all day without food or water (Video)

A woman has been accused of maltreating her 9-year-old ward.

The woman is said to routinely lock up her ward, identified as Chima, outside her home for hours without food.

A video posted online by human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, showed the boy sitting outside a gated compound at night, waiting for his aunt to return from work.

When Gwamnishu approached him, Chima revealed that he was usually left there regularly while his aunt went to work. He added that he often goes all day without food or water until she returns.

He, however, seemed afraid and reluctant to say anything that would implicate his aunt, so he kept saying, “She will still come back,” when asked questions about his aunt’s actions towards him.

Harrison alleged that the woman takes her own children with her and feeds them but leaves 9-year-old Chima, whom she brought from the village, outside without food and water.

“WHAT IS YOUR TIME NOW?
A woman has been locking 9-year-old Chima without food and water from morning till night. Tonight I visited Chima to see for myself and it’s shocking to see that a woman who has her children can maltreat another woman’s child. She will carry her children, give them food but lock and leave behind the child she took from the village. Tomorrow, we will see to the end of this child abuse. Good night 😔”, He captioned the video.

“The World Lost a Bright Light. I’ve only met him a couple of times,” Perry said. “He was always full of life, it seemed like, such a light.”

He added that owing to tWitch’s death, he feels compelled to share a message to those who are going through a hard time.

Reflecting on “dark” times he has experienced in his own life, Perry said, “I just want to take you back to a time in my life when I tried to commit suicide, a couple of times, because it was so dark I didn’t think it would get any better. I had endured so much pain, so much abuse, sexual abuse, it was all so hard to just move through that I thought the only way to make this better was to end my life.”

“Had any of those attempts happened, I would’ve missed the best part of my life,” said Perry.

He further urged those going through a difficult time to talk to someone and seek help.

“I know it may seem like there’s no hope, but please reach out to someone … call, ask for help if you are dealing with anything that is emotionally taking you to a place where you think you want to end your life.”

OAP Do2dtun’s wife files for divorce over alleged domestic abuse and forced abort!on

Omotayo, the wife of popular on-air personality, Kayode Ojuolape Oladotun, otherwise known as Do2dtun, has filed for divorce from him.

Omotayo requested the dissolution of her marriage with Do2dtun sometime in November 2021, citing allegations of forced abortion, domestic violence, and emotional abuse by him, all of which have had adverse effects on her health and general well-being.

According to the petition filed before Justice A. I. Akobi of Court 23 of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Suit Number: GWD/PET/25/2021, the on-air personality forced his wife to abort her third pregnancy as a married woman.

The court, however, granted the couple, who married in 2013 and the union produced two children, joint custody of the children, which Omotayo did not oppose pending the final determination of the suit in court.

Dailypost reports that Do2dtun, on December 14, 2022, allegedly stormed Omotayo’s Abuja residence with some policemen and forcefully broke into her premises and assaulted her gateman and staff after she refused to disclose her actual whereabouts and hurled insults at her person.

This led to Omotayo’s petitioning the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Criminal Investigation Department, Abuja over an unlawful entry, malicious damage, criminal trespass and unlawful use of Policemen by Do2dtun.

The petition dated December 14, 2022, and stamped to show receipt by the office of the DIG, said the invasion left Omotayo in a “state of emotional distress and fear of imminent danger in the hands of the Defendant (Do2dtun), who remains volatile and unpredictable”.

“In view of the facts stated in this petition, we humbly request that you use your good office to conduct a dispassionate investigation into our client’s petition and cause an appropriate action in line with the law to be taken against the Defendant in order to guarantee the safety of our client and for the interest of justice.

“In addition to the above, we request that the identity of the Nigeria Police Officers who engaged in the unlawful act at the bidding of the Defendant be made known to the public and necessary action be taken against them so as to preserve the integrity of the Nigeria Police that has been painstakingly built over the years,” the petition read in part.

The previous posts about being engaged is FALSE! Kindly disregard, the post was made by the unscrupulous element from Liberia whose aim is to taint my image 😔. In the guise of being My fiancé.

“That video was made under Duress. The scammer gained access to the IG account as well as my phone, contacts,Email, Bank account and has my car, international passport and other valuables. I’m being blackmailed, to pay $450,000 🤦🏼‍♀️ Claiming he loaned me the money… Please beware of such dubious individuals who present themselves as genuine with good intent but underneath are “The Devil” whose aim is solely to ruin, dupe and inflict harm on anyone they come in contact with.

Man confronts dispatch rider who allegedly ate part of the food he ordered online in Lagos (Video)

A mild drama ensued recently between a man who ordered food online and a dispatch rider in the Lekki area of Lagos State.

The man had ordered food online and had it delivered to his location, but when the dispatcher arrived with it, he noticed someone had eaten out of his food.

The customer, who claimed to have received a notification from the food company that the food had reached its destination about an hour before the rider called, accused him of diverting somewhere to eat the food before deciding to deliver what was left in the plate.

The delivery man acknowledged opening the food when confronted, but he insisted he didn’t eat anything from it.

He denied eating any portion of the food and insisted that all he did was open the plate to check the content.

However, towards the end of the video, he admitted to having tasted the food and said he would refund the customer.

“Why I agreed to be Ooni of Ife’s third wife” – Queen Tobi Phillips reveals

Olori Tobi Phillips, the third wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, has revealed why she agreed to be one of the monarch’s queens.

Speaking in a recent interview with TVC, Olori Tobi, a former beauty queen, shared the series of events that preceded her marriage to the monarch, including how they met.

She said someone had called her to ask if she was interested in getting married to the Ooni of Ife.

She said she met the king and they started dating, and since he had all the things she wanted in a spouse, she agreed to marry him and be his third wife.

“Series of events happened and I think that year I was just praying God I wanted to get married and somebody just called me one day and said “Do you want to get married?” and I was like what’s happening”” And then he went further asking “Would you like to get married to Ooni of Ife?”.

“He introduced me to the King but I didn’t take this seriously as I was still wandering what’s going on. We started dating but along the line, there were so many interference and we didn’t get married. That was quite devastating.

I always promised myself that I will marry someone that I love. There are values that I love in a man and the Ooni has that’s why I later agreed to marry him. If you find that person that fits specific criteria that are not negotiable for you, then you go with it. Ordinarily, I never imagined that I would find myself in a polygamous setting, but I always had some non-negotiable,” she said.

In other news, 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.

She reiterated, however, that the Ooni is not someone who would abuse a woman since he is calm, mature, and understands the importance of communication in marriage.

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. Because when something is happening, you can easily call your husband and say, ‘i don’t like this’ and vice versa.”

Why I almost k!lled myself – Actor, Kunle Remi opens up

Kunle Remi opens

Popular Nollywood actor, Kunle Remi, has taken to his social media page to reveal that he almost committed suicide back in 2017.

The actor shared his past struggles while reacting to news of the death of American dancer and DJ, Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss, who committed suicide on Wednesday, December 14.

Kunle, in a video shared on his Instagram page, said he came very close to ending it all in 2017 due to depression.

Kunle Remi opens

According to the 34-year-old actor, he was overwhelmed with thoughts about his life, career, and relationship, and felt like he was useless and valueless.

He said it took the grace of God for him not to take his own life, and encouraged other people who are depressed to speak up, instead of bottling up their emotions.

In his words:

“Yesterday the news broke of DJ Twitch’s passing by suicide and it was a very sad news but I can absolutely relate to that.

“It’s never really fine as we say even though we always act like it’s fine. We go through a lot as men.

“I remember in 2017 I had a series of tweet that I went on to delete. It was very suicidal. Someone called me a year later and said I should go delete those tweets, I was going through a lot.

Kunle Remi opens

“I was overwhelmed, I was thinking too much of my career, am I doing enough? am I enough? am I with the right person? so many thoughts in my mind.

“At a point I could not take it, I felt so useless, not enough, incompetent, even though it was the contrary of what I felt, I was beating myself too much, then I started to tweet randomly and I was very close to jumping off the bridge or just taking my life. It took the grace of God for me to scale through that.

“I usually bottle up, I don’t share stuff but I learnt to become better doing that. And I just want to share a word with every man out there.

“Look it’s not easy and it’s not going to be easy, but talk to someone. Always have someone in your corner that you can talk too and open up with.

“Life is beautiful but it doesn’t guarantee that it will be smooth all the time but we need to always find a balance and choose happiness over being sad. I’ve been there, I’ve gone through it.

“Right now I still caution myself, I take life one day at a time, once I get overwhelmed I shut down. Depression, mental health are very important. We can do better. Just thought to share.”

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.

Speaking on her husband’s death, Allison said, ‘

“Stephen lit up every room he stepped into. He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans. To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt. I am certain there won’t be a day that goes by that we won’t honor his memory.”

“If he lays his hands on me, the marriage is over” – Ooni of Ife’s third wife, Queen Tobi Phillips says

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.

She reiterated, however, that the Ooni is not someone who would abuse a woman since he is calm, mature, and understands the importance of communication in marriage.

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. Because when something is happening, you can easily call your husband and say, ‘i don’t like this’ and vice versa.”

This is coming after Queen Tobi took to social media to appreciate her husband for turning her dream into a reality.

She said she had always wanted sensational musician, Timi Dakolo, to perform his hit love song ‘Iyawo Mi’ at her wedding and her husband made it happen.

Reeling over the intentionality of her husband, Olori Tobi on Thursday, December 1, shared a loved-up video with her husband and clips from their wedding ceremony held recently.
