Mustapha Gembu, a popular social media commentator and activist, has advised men to not kill themselves over women.
The activist gave this advice while reacting to photos of the late Taraba Governor, Danbaba Suntai’s widow, Hauwa, with her much younger husband, Haliru Saad Malami.
It would be recalled that the late governor, who was involved in a plane crash in October 2012, passed away in June 2017.
Mr. Suntai was taken to different hospitals around the world due to the brain injury he sustained from the impact of the plane crash, but he sadly succumbed to the injury on June 28, 2017, in Houston, Texas, United States.
Prior to his death, the late governor was said to be in a vegetable state and couldn’t perform any function.
Two years after his death in 2019, his wife got married to Malami, who is the Chief Executive Officer of ITBAN Global Resources LTd and a cousin of Turai Yar’Adua, wife of the late Nigerian President, Umaru Yar’adua.
Hauwa is currently in her 50s while her husband is said to be in his early 30s.
Reacting to the photos, via his Facebook page, Gembu wrote,
“THIS LIFE NO BALANCE! My brothers don’t fight or kill yourself over woman but fight to get rich in other to live large in life.
“As the family of the late governor Danbaba Suntai of Taraba state continue to mourn his dead, the wife, Hajiya Hauwa’s life continues to move on sweetly, smoothly and sumptuously with her young and rich husband, Mr. Malami, younger brother to Hajiya Turai, late President Yar’adua’s wife.”
Popular Nollywood actor, Kenneth Okonkwo has declared support for the presidential candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, and dubbed himself ‘Obi-centric’.
Okonkwo made this known in a recent interview on Arise TV, where he said Peter Obi is the only candidate that exudes the drive and youthful energy to transform the country.
This comes days after the actor dumped the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, for choosing a Muslim-Muslim ticket in persons of Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shettima Mustapha.
Speaking in the interview, the thespian said anyone who says Northern Muslims won’t vote for a Christian candidate is lying.
According to him, when he had a conversation with a Muslim friend from Kano state before the interview, his friend told him to be ‘Obi-Centric’ to the core.
Speaking on claims by PDP and APC that the Peter Obi movement is merely a social media trend and doesn’t hold water, Okonkwo said they are just scared because Peter Obi is being marketed well to Nigerians.
He further stated that APC were the pioneers of sensationalizing a candidate on social media during the 2015 general elections before President Muhammadu was voted into power.
Sensational Nigerian singer, Tiwatope Savage, better known by her stage name Tiwa Savage, has received an honorary doctorate degree from her alma mater, Kent University.
The 42-year-old graduate of Business Administration from the University of Kent, London, was conferred the degree for her outstanding achievement in the music industry worldwide.
The “somebody’s son” crooner completed a degree in Business Administration at the university and later won a scholarship to study Professional Music at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.
In photos and videos from the event that was held in Canterbury on Friday, July 15, the singer is seen dressed in her doctoral gown while being flanked by her son, Jamil, and other family members.
Sharing a brief biography of the international music act, the school wrote in part,
“Tiwa Savage is an award-winning singer-songwriter and Afrobeats star. She is best known for her hit singles such as ‘Mr Lova Lova’ ft Duncan Mighty, ‘Diet’ and ‘Tiwa’s Vibe’ all reaching the No. 1 spot across charts all over Africa and securing her position as one of Afrobeats’ leading artists. In 2019, she signed an exclusive recording contract with Universal Records and released her first global single titled ’49-99’ under Motown Records.
In November 2018, Tiwa was crowned Best African Act by the MTV European Music Awards and made history as the first female to win the accolade. In the same year, Tiwa became the first African female to sell out London’s IndigO2 and was handpicked by Coldplay’s Chris Martin to perform alongside Beyonce, Ed Sheeran and Jay Z live at the Global Citizen Festival in Johannesburg…”
Barely 24 hours after the Presidential Candidate of the New Nigeria People’s Party, Rabiu Kwankwaso, picked his running mate, Bishop Isaac Idahosa, social media investigators have dug up videos of the clergyman performing deliverance in his church.
The videos have gotten people talking online as they pointed out his bizarre method of conducting deliverance on his congregants.
In the trending video, Bishop Idahosa is seen hitting his head on the chest of a congregant who then fell under the anointing and started shaking violently.
For another congregant, he acted like he was dribbling him and the effect seemingly caused the man to fall under the anointing.
In another video, the clergy was standing on the pulpit while some church officials stood behind him and touched his body. However, they started falling down one by one before they all fell down.
The videos has sparked mixed reactions on social media as netizens likened Bishop Idahosa’s church service to a comedy show.

The unprecedented beef amongst some new-school Nigerian Singers is gaining traction and reaching new levels.
The drama started on Thursday evening, started when 22-year-old Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger caused a stir on social media with a tweet where he declared that he is better than all his peers and more specifically, Buju formerly known as BNXN.
Ruger had said;
I love buju he’s good but he’s not better than me. Everything I’ve done since the beginning was only RUGER. All my hits are JUST RUGER. I’m always proud going on stage around the world with my own hits and everyone is singing along. You see the difference?
BNXN has now mustered a response via snapchat and he seemingly mocked Ruger for still being under a label where he doesn’t get 100% profit for his music and he also bragged that his project is still charting above Ruger’s on Apple Music.
BNXN response reads;
“Sorry I’m Late” still above two of your projects on the Apple Music Charts, you had to drop a deluxe for one and you think you got shit on me?
Jonzing world indeed, you are owing your boss money and you’re talking to a boss?
Bad since 97 is coming, I got something for you.

I just wish you niggas stop showing me fake love when you see me because I actually be liking you snakes.
There seems to be some sort of heat among new-generation Nigerian artistes as jabs have been thrown from one artiste to the other in a rather controversial manner.
It all started when 22-year-old Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger caused a stir on social media with a tweet where he declared that he is better than all his peers and more specifically, Buju now known as BNXN.
Ruger had engaged his fans in a Question & Answer session where a Twitter user asked if his boss, D’Prince is aware that BNXN is better than him (Ruger).
Ruger didn’t let the comment slide, as in response, he shared a screenshot of a conversation he had with D’Prince where he acknowledged that “Ruger is nobody’s mate.”
However, a fan with the handle @BNXN001 took to the comment section to write;
Lol bnxn is better than you and there’s nothing you can do about it you this low budget Samuel L Jackson
Ruger’s response to this user, is what has now caused a stir on social media. He tweeted,
I love buju he’s good but he’s not better than me. Everything I’ve done since the beginning was only RUGER. All my hits are JUST RUGER. I’m always proud going on stage around the world with my own hits and everyone is singing along. You see the difference?
In light of the controversy, Stanley Omah Didia better known as Omah Lay seems to have come to BNXN’s side as in a new tweet, he outed Ruger and in the same tweet, threw a jab at fellow singer, Victony where he referred to both artistes as kids.
His tweet reads,
Ruger get mind dey talk about bnxn like that for this app smh!! mofos do anything for clout out here, same way Victony lol my tweet the other time, y’all are really kids
Popular actor, Yomi Fabiyi has taken to his Instagram page to share a cryptic post seemingly directed at one of his colleagues.
However, it’s unclear who the actor is referring to as he has been enmeshed in different controversial issues in recent times.
It would be recalled that he was caught in the crossfire between convicted actor, Baba Ijesha and comedienne, Princess, after he defended the former.
He was also involved in a domestic crisis with his baby mama, Amarachi Grace, after she accused of him of physically assaulting her while pregnant and demanding sex for movie roles.
Just yesterday, he was accused of falling out with his colleague, Mo Bimpe, because she turned down his demand to sleep with her in exchange for a role.
Mo Bimpe has however debunked the claim and said he didn’t ask her out until they finished the movie they were both working on.
She said when she turned him down, he gave her an option to either date him or become his enemy and she made her choice.
Well, amid all the drama, Yomi took to his Instagram page on Thursday, July 15, to say someone is trying to destroy the ladder they used in climbing to the top and he’s ready to play the person’s ‘game’.
He wrote,
“Hello you say what? I am coming, I am in the library.
It is safe to say some people will want to DESTROY the ladder they use in climbing to the top by all means possible and a handful will still indulge such.
Nothing is as efficacious as Natural Justice. I hate half truth.
Massive reactions have trailed a photo of Portable stripped to his boxers in front of the statue of Obafemi Awolowo in Osogbo, as he campaigned for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The controversial singer, who was at the APC mega rally for the re-election of Osun State Governor, Adegboyega Oyetola, held in Osogbo, danced vigorously and, at some point, stripped to his boxers and bent as if to sit on Obafemi Awolowo’s statue.
The photo has sparked outrage from Nigerians since it found its way to the internet. Many social media users averred that Portable’s conduct in front of Awolowo’s statue was disrespectful to the legacy of the statesman.
Meanwhile, recall that Portable earlier revealed that he was paid to support the ruling party. In light of this, some tweeps joked that the singer had to be extra to give APC value for their money.
Reacting, a Twitter user wrote, “I’m not even Yoruba & I’m deeply offended by that crass display of disrespect and disregard for such a highly regarded Yoruba leader. Just look at this rubbish.”
See more reactions below,

I'm not even Yoruba & I'm deeply offended by that crass display of disrespect and disregard for such a highly regarded Yoruba leader.
Ordinarily that picture of Portable with his butt in the face of Awolowo's statue and someone carrying the APC flag behind him should be enough to make Oyetola lose the Osun elections on Saturday.
The way APC has ridiculed the Awolowo name, brand, legacy, and style of leadership is not enough they had to move a step with the desecration of his statue. Portable say make Awo see madness. Voting for Apc is tantamount to madness, tuition hike, hunger #osogbo#imole#Nigeriapic.twitter.com/KqnukZda9E
Malawi-based Nigerian Catholic Priest, Fr. Kelvin Ugwu has responded to a follower who criticized him for having lunch with a woman in a hotel.
The missionary priest who had earlier announced that he has been transferred to Gambia from Malawi, went to have a goodbye lunch with a woman at a restaurant located in a hotel.
He shared a picture from the outing on his Facebook page on Thursday, Julu 15, and disclosed that the woman, Peggy Chinwemwe, invited him out on the lunch.
However, a follower who had suspicion about the outing queried the priest for going to a hotel with a woman.
Dicta Ogodo commented: “Going to hotel with a woman for goodbye lunch. What should we learn from this one”
Reacting, Fr. Ugwu shared a screenshot of the comment and advised the follower to ask God to purify his mind.
“Dicta Ogodo, Okay, remove hotel, put “restaurant”. Okay, remove “restaurant,” put “public place”. Okay, remove “public place,” put “God purify my dirty mind”, and you will see that you would have learnt something. And if you still did not learn anything, remove “God purify my dirty mind” and put “Ewu Gambia” he wrote.
An American missionary, Eric Tuininga, has been sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment after he was found guilty of defiling a 14-year-old Ugandan girl who was under his care at the Orthodox Presbyterian church based in Mbale District.
In 2019, 45-year-old Tuininga was reported by a fellow US citizen working at the same church who contacted the US Embassy in Kampala that he was having carnal knowledge with Ugandan girls as young as 14 years old who were under the care of their church.
The US Department of State, Bureau of Diplomatic Security federal agents in Kampala opened an investigation into the allegations and subsequently identified the abused minor, who was then aged 14, in May 2019 when Tuininga had intercourse with her.
“Eric Tuininga used his trusted position as a pastor to sexually assault a young Ugandan girl in his care, this was a challenging case, but law enforcement worked diligently to ensure that Tuininga did not escape justice for his crime overseas,” US Attorney Peter D. Lear said.
He has now been sentenced to 10 years in a US federal prison after he was convicted of sexually molesting a minor.
He was ordered to pay $20,000 (about Shs75m) in restitution by US District Judge Marc T. Treadwell and spend a lifetime on supervised release as a registered sex offender after getting out of prison.
Meanwhile, in February, Mr. Tuininga pleaded guilty and was taken to jail pending sentencing. He faced up to 30 years in jail, according to reports at the time. Several US media outlets reported that the recommended sentence for Tuininga was seven to nine years.
The judge gave him a 10-year sentence after hearing testimony from the victim’s caretaker and some of Tuininga’s family members.
“I want to recognize the true bravery displayed by the Ugandan girl for speaking out when she was assaulted by a trusted person of power from another country, courageously seeking justice across continents,” US Attorney Peter D. Leary is quoted in a statement.
A white woman has been arrested by the Ghana Police Service for attacking an official at the Kotoka International Airport in Ghana.
The lady whose identity was not released, reportedly packed her vehicle in the pedestrian crossing and was told to move her car by the car park attendant but she refused.
When she didn’t budge, the attendant clamped her vehicle which got her angry and she removed the clamp and started pursuing the attendant around the car park before throwing it at him, injuring him in the process.
A video showing the moment the white woman was chasing the attendant on the road and attacked him with the clamp has gone viral on social media.
Confirming the incident, the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) in a statement said the young woman has been arrested and is currently in their custody.
This reportedly marks one of the largest groups to flood into the U.S. in recent months.
In the video shared on Twitter by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin, hundreds of illegal border crossers were being guided into the water by smugglers at the river in Eagle Pass, Texas, on Wednesday, July 14.
Grace Amarachi, the baby mama of controversial Nollywood actor, Yomi Fabiyi, has reacted after the comedienne, Princess heaped generational curses on her baby daddy.
Recall that during an Instagram live session on Thursday, Princess rained curses on actor Yomi Fabiyi and his child following the sentencing of Baba Ijesha, who sexually molested her foster daughter.
Baba Ijesha was sentenced to a 16-year jail term on Thursday after facing six counts of child defilement that included indecent treatment of a child, sexual assault, attempted sexual assault by penetration, and sexual assault by penetration.
However, reacting to the judge’s ruling, Fabiyi, who has taken sides with Baba Ijesha since the beginning of the case, stated that Baba Ijesha must be given the privilege to challenge the court ruling in all possible ways.
This comment apparently triggered Princess, and in an Instagram live session, tearfully rained curses on Fabiyi, his son, Akorede, whom he welcomed with his baby mama, Grace, in February, and his generations to come.
“Yomi Fabiyi, your son whom you called Akorede has not brought any fortune for you. The day you point your hand to your child, you’re pointing your hand to an unfortunate thing,” Princess said in Yoruba, amid tears holding the Holy Bible.
Reacting, Akorode’s mother, Grace, took to her Instagram page to share a picture of herself and her child, prayed for her child, rebuking every curse.
“Heavenly Father, may my child Akorede Imoleayo not fear, for you are with him. As I place my child in your mighty loving hands, give him peace. Akorede, you will excel in life. You are protected in God’s hand, no curse, no evil will befall you. Amen.” The mother of one wrote.
In another post, Grace seemingly mocked Princess for not having a child.
“If you had gone through labour pain, you would know cursing an innocent child/ren is a No.” She wrote.

Nigerian comedienne, Princess, has heaped curses on actor, Yomi Fabiyi, Iya Rainbow, and ex-Lagos police boss Hakeem Odumosu after Baba Ijesha was convicted and sentenced for sexually molesting her foster daughter.
The comedienne had, in April 2021, accused Baba Ijesha of assaulting her 14-year-old foster daughter since she was 7. After months of legal wrangling, he was found guilty before an Ikeja special offences court on Thursday, July 14.
The actor was charged with a 6-count charge, which bordered on allegations of indecent treatment of a child, sexual assault, attempted sexual assault by penetration, and sexual assault by penetration. However, at the judgment on Thursday, the presiding judge found him guilty of counts 2, 3, 4, and 5, while the prosecution could not prove counts one and six, which were sexual assault by penetration and attempted sexual assault by penetration.
Reacting to the judge’s ruling, actor Yomi Fabiyi, who has taken sides with Baba Ijesha since the beginning of the case, stated that Baba Ijesha must be given the privilege to challenge the court ruling in all possible ways.
In an apparent reaction to this, Princess, during an Instagram live session, rained generational curses on Yomi Fabiyi. Princess also cursed Nollywood stars like Iya Rainbow, Yinka Quadri, and Baba Latin over their negligence of unruly acts in the industry.
She also laid curses on the former Lagos state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, whom she accused of threatening her and also humiliating her foster daughter.

Popular Nigerian Singer and Father-of-one, Adekunle Gold has opened up on the struggles he had with his health when he was much younger due to him being born with Sickle Cell Anaemia.
In an open letter to his fans, the “orente” crooner revealed that there were days when health crisis came and he wished he died becaue the pain was too much for him to bear.
Read his letter below;
It feels liberating to finally be able to share this part of my life with you, to finally be able to speak my truth. When I talk about how I struggled to get to where I am today, I need you to know that my struggle was real.
I was born with sickle cell disease. It was life and death, it was physical, mental, financial, you name it and I went through it all. It was tough, painful and frustrating. I lived with a sickness no one around me understood, I lived with restrictions all my childhood.
I wasn’t able to join some of the most minor child play and liberating activities like going out in the rain. The times when I insisted and rebelled against my parents orders and went out in the rain, I would end up having a crisis.
The nights were painful and lonely, nights that no one could help me get through. It was just me, God and my mind. The pains and shivers were unbearable.
They always came in the night, when my family had no means to transport me to a hospital. We simply couldn’t afford the constant hospital bills so I had no choice but to endure the pain.
My mum wanted me to be well, she did her best. She took me to all the churches she could find, I’m grateful for her because she saw a future for me.
A future where no illness or sickness could hold me back from my purpose. From the life I was destined to live.
Sickle cell disease took away my freedom, my childhood. I lost friends, a lot of them. Some didn’t understand the restrictions and rules I had to live by, some just didn’t want to deal with my Illness or thought it was a nasty or contagious disease that they could catch. I was a burden for some. Living with sickle cell is far from living a normal life.
One of the most intense crisis I had was at the age of 20, I remember laying in my bed in the middle of the night asking for an end to it all. I begged God to take my life away because I couldn’t understand what I did to deserve the pain my body and mind was under. As usual with sickle crisis after some days, the pain subsided and God asked me; “That end you begged me for, do you still want it?” Of course I said no and that’s when everything changed for me. That’s when I realised that I had been given another opportunity to live my dreams and to show those that mocked me that sickle cell anemia was never going to end me, that it was never going to hold me back from my dreams and aspirations.
My body caves in once in a while, some symptoms come back but what this disease has taught me is resilience. Sickle cell anemia gave me hope, made me tough, gave me the discipline I needed to be who I am today, built my character. I mean I went through a whole 5 weeks of back to back performances and didn’t fall sick. Grace.
My mind and body were challenged and I’m stronger, more determined and ready to take on the world. I’m ready for Adekunle Gold Supremacy, I’m ready to live and enjoy the 5 Star life that I deserve, that my body toiled for.
I’m sharing my testimony with you because I hope that you can find strength in my truth. Some ailments hold us back but I’m thankful this hasn’t. I want to encourage you in whatever it is you’re going through, know that there is hope. You are strong and you must not give up. YOU CAN DO THIS!
Victory lies at the end for you just as it did for me.
If you know anyone going through any struggle, physical, health, mental. Be kind, show compassion. In fact be kind to everyone, you just never know what they’re dealing with privately. Be supportive, be gentle and love endlessly.
If you are a sickler, know that the disease does not define you. Don’t allow it to limit your dreams or cap your potential. Spread your wings and dream big! Hope to see you soaring the big skies.

The DEFENDANT(Baba Ijesha) NOT found guilty of The defilement(rape) with CAR KEY as charged(1&6) for lack of evidence, which he still denied ever committing BUT has been found guilty of few other charges bothering on sexual assault(as seen in the video 2,3,4,5). Any indecent act against children is unacceptable and I have never and will never support such. CHILDREN ARE MEANT TO BE PROTECTED. And I will insist that PARENTAL NEGLIGENCE is equally punishable under section 30(3) Child Rights Act. It is an imprisonment for ten years!
However, if the defendant insists that he is innocent of the other charges. It is within his rights if he chooses to appeal. And if he exhausts all options and the judgement stands, he should serve his term and I hope he will learn his lessons and turn a new leaf.
I am still committed to the frontiers of HUMAN RIGHTS and that all accused are innocent until proven guilty by the court of law. I thank the JUDGE for not punishing the defendant before today until verdict is reached.
Grateful to the state/prosecution thus far, for ensuring that the rights of these three major actors in this case were upheld: *The VICTIM, DEFENDANT and The PUBLIC.*
A Nigerian lady identified as Chinyere Berny-Amore has gone viral on social media after she shared a video showing her family’s emotional and adorable reactions as she paid them a suprise visit after being away for three years in the united Kingdom.
Chinyere’s family most definitely did not think they’d be seeing their beloved daughter on that day and the look on the Father’s face when he saw his daughter was pricless.
The father could not believe his eyes and he had to close the gate as he rushed inside to call her mother and siblings to help him confirm if the person he saw was real

In his words ;
“Will is apologetic, you know, he’s in a better space, of course, than what he was after.”
”People are human and as humans sometimes we make mistakes. So it’s not about talking about the past, it’s about acknowledging the present and doing your best to move forward.’ Kevin told Entertainment Tonight
Kevin is also friendly with Chris and hopes the pair can put their differences behind them.
He said: ‘I can get only hope that the two of them find a way to find some solace in that and move past it.
‘I just like good energy. I love to see people be the best.
‘I still love him, I still love Chris, and, you know, you can’t judge a person by one thing. Ultimately, life goes on and people grow, so give him the opportunity to do so.’
Fast-rising Nigerian Singer, Michael Adebayo Olayinka, popularly known as Ruger, almost ignited a controversy and beef after he subtly declared that he was better than all his peers and most specifically, Buju.
The drama started when Ruger engaged his fans in a Question & Answer sesison and one troublesome Twitter user asked if his boss, D’Prince is aware that BNXN ‘formerly known as BUJU’ is better than him (Ruger).
Ruger would not let that go down and he shared a screenshot of a conversation he had with D’Prince where he acknowledged that “Ruger is nobody’s mate.”
However, a fan with the handle @BNXN001 took to the comment section to write;
Lol bnxn is better than you and there’s nothing you can do about it you this low budget Samuel L Jackson
Replying to the tweet, Ruger wrote;
I love buju he’s good but he’s not better than me. Everything I’ve done since the beginning was only RUGER. All my hits are JUST RUGER. I’m always proud going on stage around the world with my own hits and everyone is singing along. You see the difference?
