Relationship expert, Derrick Jackson has announced his divorce from his wife after he publicly apologized for cheating on her a year ago.

He took to his official Instagram page to announce that after months of counselling and prayer, he and his wife, Da’Naia Jackson have decided to separate and file for divorce.


He wrote;

“Over the past several months, my family and I have gone through many changes. Some of you have speculated while others of you have reached out to offer support as we privately established this new normal for ourselves and our beautiful children.

Earlier this year after much prayer, counseling, and deep consideration, we decided to go our separate ways and filed for divorce. Making the decision to file was one of the hardest decisions of my life, but I’ve found peace knowing that our mission of raising healthy children, starting with healthy and whole parents is still being accomplished.

From falling in love as just teenagers, to becoming spouses and now co-parents, I’m grateful for the years we’ve spent together and wouldn’t trade them for anything. I was blessed to have such an amazing person in my life and will forever be thankful for all she’s meant to our family.

We ask that if you pray, to please pray for us as we navigate this grieving process. If not, please respect our privacy.”

Netizens have responded in a variety of ways, with some expressing skepticism about its authenticity and others being completely perplexed.

Reacting to the video, Instagram user @the_mad_vagrant wrote,
“There’s a rope pulling the tail, a thin string, you can tell by how it moves, if you ever played as a kid you’d know, plus there’s a cloth conveniently covering the parts where the human and animal sides meet ? how come the legs aren’t moving and the tail is just wagging sporadically? Animals don’t just randomly wag their tail, dogs do it when they’re happy or excited, goats and other ungulates do it to drive flies. If you believe this, then a kid could sell rainwater to you on a stormy day.”

The video clip has sparked different reactions online as many berated the expectant mother for putting her baby in harm’s way because she couldn’t wait to deliver before undergoing the procedure.

@choicespiritdidoo wrote, “Imagine this one now needs surgery and the stitches refuses to hold.”

An IG user @tee_ess_ who was enraged by the video commented,

“This is video is giving me serious chest pain. I am so irritated and annoyed. please, when choosing a life partner endeavour to choose a “kind, selfless and knowledgeable woman. Someone knowledgeable and well-learned wouldn’t do something like this. Only a selfish person, who doesn’t care about her child’s health but her looks will do something this ridiculous.

There are some ingredients that pregnant women should avoid I’m sure she doesn’t even know anything about what they are rubbing on her body, a woman just wants to lighten up and glow đŸ€Ą .
Ffs! It is normal for hormones to fluctuate during pregnancy.

Skin changes during pregnancies are normal. A lot of women may experience darkened faces/skin during pregnancy due to naturally INCREASED melanin production. These darkened areas usually lighten within a few months of delivery.

You don’t need a “lightning bath or Cream or anti-acne drug for these “temporary” changes.
We know that you don’t love yourself enough, if you do, you won’t be going for a lightning bath but please for the sake of the innocent soul, stay away from these things.”

Meanwhile, another IG user @miss_aruchi who had another take on the issue wrote, “All of you complaining that why do it when she’s pregnant, what if her husband doesn’t find her attractive anymore and she’s getting too dark that she can’t handle it???”

“Davido will be performing at the World Cup closing ceremony (reportedly), glad he’s feeling better but I d€n’t think that’s a smart decision since he already postponed his A.W.A.Y festival by one year; He should stand by his decision & decl!ne any offer till next yr. No offense.” He wrote.

Osita Iheme’s brother and policeman killed by gunmen enforcing sit-at-home order in Imo state.

Nollywood superstar Osita Iheme, popularly known as Pawpaw, lost his elder brother, Prince Iheme, in a shootout on Friday, December 9.

He was killed alongside a policeman by gunmen enforcing a sit-at-home order in some parts of Owerri, Mbaitoli, and other areas in Imo State.

According to Punch, the shooters who also macheted the state’s Commissioner for Solid Minerals, Martin Eke, rode in Tundra work cars and fired randomly, causing bystanders to flee for cover.

Businesses were forced to close early as a result, and it was reported that highways were desolate as drivers fled and abandoned their cars.

Narrating how the gunmen who wore black killed a policeman at 7Up junction in Orji, an eyewitness told the publication;

“They just killed a policeman now. They opened fire on them and were shouting, ‘There is sit-at-home. We have asked you to go home. Stay indoors.”

Another eyewitness said;

“I just escaped death now. They stopped before us and shot in the air and asked us to go home. They didn’t shoot at us maybe because I was in the midst of some elderly women.”

The escaping gunmen targeted the convoy of Akarachi Amadi, the APC candidate for Mbaitoli/Ikeduru Federal Constituency, near Ubommiri in Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo State, while firing repeatedly towards Nkwo Orji market before running towards Okigwe Road.

The gunmen who allegedly macheted the state commissioner for solid minerals then shot and murdered Prince Iheme in an instant.

Another witness said;

“This attack is politically motivated. We just finished at one campaign rally ground and were heading to Ubommiri. Our convoy was attacked at Amawuihe before Ubommiri.
Prince Iheme was riding in the same vehicle with the commissioner for solid minerals. Prince Iheme who is Pawpaw’s elder brother was killed on the spot. The commissioner who was sworn in two weeks ago was cut badly. He has just been rushed to a hospital. They were driving in a Ford SUV. I pray he makes it.”

“We dated for 9 years” – 34-year-old lady pays her bride price, says husband can’t afford it

A 34-year-old woman has tied the knot with her lover of nine years after she paid her bride price on his behalf.

The young woman identified as Zuku revealed she’s a graduate with three qualifications, and her parents had vowed to collect a lot of money from her husband.

She claimed she knew her husband could not afford the bride price, so she decided to help him with it since she earns more than him.

Zuku said her spouse initially objected to the idea but eventually gave in and accepted the help.

The bride, while sharing their story on News24, said,

“We dated for almost nine years before tying the knot. I’m from a Xhosa background, and my parents have always made it clear that they’re going to request a hefty amount of lobola because I’m an engineer with three qualifications and one of them being from an internationally acclaimed university. So, I always knew lobola would be a thing and basically had no choice.

“My husband didn’t support the idea and declined my offer, but it just made so much sense. His family would be paying so much for the wedding ceremonies and gifting my family.

“I also earned more than him and was in a position to come up with the lobola money. At the time, he felt emasculated but in hindsight; it made more financial sense for both of us and the life we were about to build together.” She said.

As an African woman it should be ok to prioritize one’s self, peace, relationship with God & personal growth over all else without being trolled by the faceless & insecure #NormalizeThisTheMOST

I believe people should be checked into mental institutions for speaking so confidently on people they don’t know personally, just because you see them on tv or on social media doesn’t mean you know them. If you’re not speaking kind words.. don’t speak at all.

If you dislike a person so intensely because a faceless blogger told you so.. you need to check yourself into a mental institute ASAP!”

“We all moved back home because of you and gave hope to kids from the ghetto” – Teebillz hails D’banj

Nigerian music executive, Tunji Balogun, better known as Teebillz, has taken to social media to celebrate veteran Nigerian singer D’banj.

The policy was, however, met with mixed reactions as some people criticized it, while others spoke in favour of it.

Reacting to the criticisms, Reno asserted that the outrage is baseless because there’s no Nigerian that needs more than N100k cash weekly.

According to him, other than paying for transport fare and shopping for groceries, every other transaction can be done cashless.

He tweeted;

“There is no Nigerian that needs more than ?100k cash weekly. Other than paying bus conductor or buying groceries, everything can be done cashless. It is kidnappers, bandits and sexual bandits (urgent 2k girls) who are fighting this policy using political godfathers”

“You can’t tell him how to get over his loss” – Daniel Regha under fire over comment on Davido’s scheduled performance in Qatar

Social media commentator, Daniel Regha has been heavily criticized online over his comment on singer, Davido’s scheduled performance at the closing ceremony of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

It was earlier reported that Davido, who has stayed away from social media and events aside from his uncle, Ademola Adeleke’s inauguration ceremony, since the death of his son, Ifeanyi, had confirmed that he will be performing in Qatar.

He was supposed to perform at the opening ceremony a few weeks ago but couldn’t honor the invitation because of the tragic demise of his son.

He will now be performing alongside other globally recognized musicians at the closing ceremony on December 18, 2022.

Reacting to this development, Regha said that Davido should have declined the invite, especially since he postponed his music festival “AWAY” till next year.

“Davido will be performing at the World Cup closing ceremony (reportedly), glad he’s feeling better but I d€n’t think that’s a smart decision since he already postponed his A.W.A.Y festival by one year; He should stand by his decision & decl!ne any offer till next yr. No offense.” He wrote.

His comment was not well received by Nigerians on the platform, and they didn’t hesitate to drag him into filth. See some comments as you scroll.

Little girl attends graduation ceremony in long artificial lashes and fixed nails; netizens react (Video)

A viral video of a little girl rocking artificial eyelashes and nails has caused a stir online.

The little girl attended her school’s graduation party heavily glammed up with false lashes and colorful nails.

In the viral video, she’s seen sitting with her classmates, who were all wearing graduation garb.

Gospel singer Buchi reveals conversation with late Sammie Okposo

Veteran gospel singer, Buchi Atuonwu, has revealed one of the conversations he had with his colleague, Sammie Okposo, before the latter passed away.

Buchi, in his first social media post since the death of the singer, shared the conversation he had with him before his demise.

“I’m so glad and grateful to God that I was able to speak these words to him before he departed. God’s trusted warhorse! Weather-beaten, rugged warhorse.’ Those were my first words as we embraced. At that, he flashed a generous smile, his brilliant white teeth, contrasting sharply with his dark (more like black) face.

“God trusts you, Sammie. God trusts you so much. All these secular dealings and places wey you de enter, you have never hidden the name of Jesus. I’ve never heard that you got on any of those platforms and changed your songs. Na so so Jesus Jesus you de shout. You’re a terribly misunderstood person. I know say you waka rough. The last mess wey you mess never smell finish. But na you dem catch, no mean say na you do pass. No lie down where you fall. Get up and move on.” He wrote.

Speaking on why it took him a while to do a post on social media about the late singer, he said,

“Why haven’t you made a post for Sammie since he passed?’ ‘Sammie will not see the post’ has been my answer to this question… several times lately. That’s the exasperating thing about these post-humous posts. They’re not like birthday greetings. We’re not expecting that in a few days, the guy would post a thank-you message appreciating all who took out time to “felicitate with me on the occasion of my passing.”

2023: Nigeria needs a deliverer, not a leader – Bishop Oyedepo (video)

Bishop Oyedepo

As the 2023 general election is fast approaching, the founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide, Bishop David Oyedepo, has said Nigeria needs a deliverer, not a leader

He made this statement on Thursday, December 8, while preaching at the ongoing Shiloh program at the church’s headquarters in Ota, Ogun state.

Bewailing the economic and insecurity crisis in the nation, Bishop Oyedepo reminded Nigerians that in 2015, he warned them that the country was heading for crisis.

 Bishop Oyedepo

He added that Nigerian is in need of a candidate who would deliver them from their sufferings, not a mere leader.

“I think I’m prompted by the spirit we need to pray for this nation. I warned this nation in 2015 that we were heading for crisis and trauma, many were washing their mouth. They are off today.

God does not require consensus to raise a prophet. I saw a nation going down the drain, I cried. There are many prophets of politicians who speak what they want to hear.

I have been very silent. What we need now is not a leader, it is a deliverer,” he said.

Watch a video of him speaking below…

A while back, Bishop Oyedepo spoke against the Buhari-led administration.

He attacked the government during a service in his church recently while reacting to the incessant killings in different states in the country, specifically the terrorist attack on a Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo state.

According to the clergymen, Nigerians have never suffered like this in our history and this current administration is proof that when the ‘wicked’ rule, the people will mourn.
