A while back, the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, revealed that she is 43% Nigerian.
The former American actress made this known in the latest episode of her podcast, Archetypes, where she opened up about her genetic heritage and expressed a desire to know more about her roots.

Speaking with Senegalese-American actress and comedian Issa Rae, Nigerian-American comedian and writer Ziwe Fumudoh, and professor Emily Bernards, Meghnan said she took a genealogy test which revealed that she is 43% Nigerian.

“I just had my genealogy done a couple years ago. I’m 43% Nigerian, “she said.

Reacting to the revelation, Ziwe replied, “No way!”

A shocked Ziwe further asked, “Are you serious? This is huge. Igbo, Yoruba, do we know? “

“I’m going to start to dig deeper into all of this because anyone that I’ve told, especially Nigerian women, is just like, what?” Markel responded.

VP Yemi Osinbajo celebrates President Buhari as he turns 80 today.

Vice-President of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbajo has taken to social media to celebrate President Muhammadu Buhari on his birthday.

The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria turned 80 today, December 17.

VP Osibajo took to his official Instagram page to pen a note from himself and his wife to wish the President peace and good health.

He wrote;

“Happy 80th Birthday, Mr. President @muhammadubuhari
Your extraordinary life of unblemished service to the nation in the army, as a Governor, Minister, Military Head of State and as a two-term Civilian President demonstrates that it is possible to serve the nation and our people honestly, forthrightly and selflessly.

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.”

Asoma Banda clash

A video showing the moment family members of Ghanaian business magnate, Asoma Banda, were fighting over his wealth as he battled for his life at the hospital is currently making rounds online.

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

Out of anger, his first wife and her children stormed the 37 Military hospital where he is receiving medical care to forcefully discharge him from the facility, but they were not allowed.

Asoma Banda clash

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.”

“Oyetola took 18 billion Naira loan after losing election, Osun is owing N407billion” – Gov. Adeleke reveals.

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.”
