Husband reacts after his wife pranked him by “changing it” for his mother during a call (Video)

Netizens have had a good laugh over the video of a lady pranking her husband in a quite interesting manner.

The daring lady recorded herself pretending to be on a call with her mother-in-law as she saw her husband approach their car and when he entered, she started making the pretentious conversation heated.

Seeing that she kept addressing the person at the receiving end of the call with “Ma”, her husband asked who it was she was talking to and later realized it was his mother, given how the conversation was going.

Later on, the tone of her voice changed and became hostile as she started telling her “mother-in-law” that she doesn’t like the way she’s being spoken to and she wants her to hush things down.

At this point, her husband got confused and surprised that she was talking to his mother in that manner. He kept asking what the problem was but when his wife became more aggressive saying “mommy, I will change it for you oh”, he quickly snatched the phone from her ears.

Looking at the phone, he suddenly realized she wasn’t on a call after all and they both burst out laughing as the lady put him out of his misery.

“The child eventually gave a true account of what happened,”

“Evidence on the scene supports that the shooting was unintentional and the offense will be addressed through the Family Court system. The family has been cooperative throughout the process and the child will remain with them.”

Pyrates confraternity reacts to viral video of its members mocking Bola Tinubu’s health (watch)

Pyrates confraternity reacts

The National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) has reacted to the trending video of its members mocking the presidential flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Over the weekend, a video surfaced online showing members of the Confraternity holding a procession in which they were gyrating to a song that says;

“Hand dey shake, leg dey shake, Baba wey no well, e de shout emi lo kan (Hands are shaking, legs are shaking. A sick old man is shouting ā€˜it’s my turn’).

Watch below,

The video was said to be an attack on Tinubu and the confraternity was accused of making fun of the presidential candidate because the slang ’emi lo kan’ became popular after he said it during a speech in June, where he said he wants to succeed President Buhari because it’s his turn.

Professor Wole Soyinka, who is one of the founding members of the confraternity, also condemned the video and said the lyrics is ‘distasteful and frankly appalling’.

Pyrates confraternity reacts

Well, the NAS Capoon, Abiola Owoaje, has now released a statement titled “Setting the Records Straight” to address the controversial video.

He said the video was filmed during the procession held to round up its 46th Annual General Meeting, and that it was not political but has now been used by some people for political gains.

He noted that the confraternity is apolitical and are not supporting any political candidate in the forthcoming 2023 general election and beyond.

The statement reads in part,

ā€œWe must stress that we are apolitical. As an organisation, we have never had a preferred candidate in any political elections including the upcoming 2023 general elections. We have members who belong to different political parties and are absolutely free to support any candidate of their choice.

It is most unfortunate that political capital is being made of this with interpretations that are totally at variance with the philosophy of the Pyrates Confraternity. Unequivocally, we condemn this in very strong terms.

We understand that political merchants desperately seeking media mileage are all over the place misinforming and twisting events to suit their political agenda. However, we wish to re -emphasise that the National Association of Seadogs (Pyrates Confraternity) are not supporting or backing any candidate for the office of the President or any other office in the 2023 general elections and beyond.

As an organisation in tune with disadvantaged and voiceless people, we are committed to the enthronement of a just society in which no one is discriminated against based on tribe, religion, gender or disability. We are against conventions that are moribund. We have always stood for Humanistic ideals, comradeship and chivalry. Nothing that has happened can and will change that posture.

We are determined to continue to use our social programmes, intellectual platforms and our compelling songs to advocate for good governance and accountability!ā€

“It’s the hardest thing I could ever imagine” – Serena Williams announces retirement from tennis

American professional tennis player, Serena Williams, has announced that she is retiring from tennis.

The 40-year-old announced her retirement in the latest issue of Vogue, published on Tuesday, August 9.

The legendary tennis player who welcomed her first child, Olympia, in 2017, said her decision was influenced by the desire to expand her family and spend more time with her husband, Alexis,

Her retirement is, however, not immediate, as she revealed in her Vogue piece that she is still hopeful she can play at the US Open in New York later this month.

“I have never liked the word retirement. Maybe the best word to describe what I’m up to is evolution. I’m here to tell you that I’m evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me.ā€

ā€œI never wanted to have to choose between tennis and a family. I don’t think it’s fair,ā€ Williams wrote. ā€œIf I were a guy, I wouldn’t be writing this because I’d be out there playing and winning while my wife was doing the physical labor of expanding our family.ā€

Unfortunately I wasn’t ready to win Wimbledon this year. And I don’t know if I will be ready to win New York. But I’m going to try. And the lead-up tournaments will be fun. But I’m not looking for some ceremonial, final on-court moment. I’m terrible at goodbyes, the world’s worst. But please know that I am more grateful for you than I can ever express in words. You have carried me to so many wins and so many trophies. I’m going to miss that version of me, that girl who played tennis. And I’m going to miss you.” She said.

Sheggz tells

Big Brother Naija season 7 housemate, Segun Daniel Olusemo, better known as Sheggz, has told his love interest, Bella, that he’s having blue balls from not having sex since the show began two weeks ago.

Sheggz and Bella seems to have become an item in the house despite the latter’s earlier claim that he would work hard to win her heart.

Sheggz tells

Initially, Bella born Chidimma Esther Okagbue, was playing hard to get and set clear boundaries between them because it was too early for them to be intimate. She also prevented him from sleeping on her bed at night.

However, it seems the Lagos-born professional footballer is slowly winning his way into her heart as they spent last night together and were cuddled up in bed.

Sheggz tells

Well, this afternoon, Sheggz, a 26-year-old actor and Instagram personality, was quite moody and sat alone in the garden.

Worried about his countenance, the 24-year-old UNILAG graduate went to meet him to ask what was wrong and in response, he said he was having blue balls and his stomach hurts.

Sheggz tells

Bella, who feigned ignorance about what ‘blue balls’ meant, then asked him to explain himself but he told her to ask a fellow male housemate instead.

She then asked if there’s ‘plenty something inside’ lol.

#BBNaija: MURIC reacts to Khalid’s intimacy with fellow housemate, Daniella

The Director, Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, Professor Ishaq Akintola, has reacted to the conduct of Muslim BBNaija season 7 housemate, Khalid, on the reality show.

Videos capturing the intimate moments between the 22-year-old level-up housemate, whose real name is Ismail Ahalu, and his in-house lover, Daniella, have raised eyebrows online.

Social media users questioned his faith, especially after he told his love interest that their relationship could end if she doesn’t quit drinking, as it’s against his religion.

Akintola, in an interview with Vanguard, reacting to Khalid’s actions in the house, said he cannot make any Shari’a pronouncement on Khalid.

Akintola, who described the reality show as satanic, said MURIC has repeatedly called on the federal government to ban the show.

“I have no comment concerning Khalid. Whatever anybody is doing in BBNaija is haram, BBNaija itself; the whole of it. So, it’s not about the aspect of alcohol or whatever. I was part of a group that went to court to stop BBNaija, but the system continues to encourage BBNaija, some of our people in the media, and journalists continue to encourage them because there’s money there.

ā€œNigeria worships money and then we are destroying our youths, who are watching this show and there are some irresponsible parents, too, who are watching and encouraging their children to watch it. The youth, whether a young man or an old man who goes to participate in BBNaija should be condemned. I will not pick any individual for particular criticism.

“Why will I pronounce a Shariah judgment on them? If it is in Oyo, Lagos or Enugu, they are not Shari’a compliant states. I can not make a Shari’a pronouncement on them. We can not bring Shari’a into BBNaija. I can not make any Shari’a pronouncement in a non-Shari’a issue, in a non-Shari’a state.

“Whatever is built on nothing is nothing. Whatever is built of haram is haram. We condemn BBNaija and whatever it produces, whatever is the product that comes out of it remains condemnable whether they are Muslims or Christians, we condemn every action that takes place in BBNaija and the government should ban it, but the government is not listening to what we are saying”. The publication quoted him as saying.

BBNaija: “The day I wanted to lose my virginity, I told my mum and she told me to use a condom” – Doyin reveals (video)

Doyin reveals

Big Brother Naija season 7 housemate, Doyinsola David known as Doyin in the house, has opened up on the dynamics of her relationship with her mother.

The Ondo state-born medical radiographer, while chatting with her fellow housemates during a task this afternoon, revealed she informed her mom that she wanted to lose her virginity the day she planned to have sex with a man for the first time.

According to the 26-year-old, her mother only asked if she was ready to be deflowered and advised her to use protection to prevent unwanted pregnancy or a sexually transmitted disease.

Doyin reveals

Her revelation came as a shock to her fellow housemates who asked if her mother is a Nigerian, because most Nigerian mums are very strict and not open to talk about sex with their children.

In response to the questions from her awestruck co-stars, Doyin said her mother is a full-bred Nigerian who prefers that she talks to her about anything, including sex, than talk to an outsider.

Bella, who couldn’t believe her ears, said her own mother is expecting a cow from her future husband because she thinks he’s the one that will deflower her.

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie’s first wife, May’s comment on singer 2Baba’s apology post to his wife has stirred a barrage of reactions from social media users.

The legendary singer, 2Baba, on Monday evening, August 8, tendered a public apology to his wife of ten years, Annie Macaulay, for all the embarrassment he caused her.

While insisting that he’s looking for no sympathy but wants to make things right, he said he has not been a good father, husband, or baby daddy.

“I’m sorry for all the embarrassment I’ve caused my wife, my kids, my mother, and all our families and my management team.” He wrote in part.

2Baba’s post in no time garnered reactions from fans and followers. Yul Edochie’s first wife, May, was one of those who reacted to the post.

Taking to the comment section, May expressed her admiration for 2Baba and his wife, Annie.

“So sweet,” she wrote, with love emojis.

May’s comment was, however, received with mixed reactions. While some Instagram users slammed her, others urged her to take a cue from the Idibias and make peace with her husband.

An Instagram user @Iam_dennisgreat wrote”,

“@mayyuledochie my dear May please anytime oga Yul begs for forgiveness, please forgive and forget. Don’t allow this evil people on social media planning evil against ur marriage especially those single sisters who are ready to become 10th wife to yul to put wrong ideas inside ur head. Please .”

Moet Abebe reacts

Media personality, Moet Abebe has reacted to the disqualification of former Big Brother Naija housemate, Beauty Tukura, over her altercation with her love interest in the house, Groovy.

On Sunday, the 43rd Miss Nigeria was disqualified barely two weeks into the show because she had an altercation with Groovy for dancing with other female housemates without her permission at the Saturday night party.

Moet Abebe reacts

Beauty had earlier gotten a strike in the first week for forcefully removing Ilebaye’s wig during an argument, and received double strike for her fight with Groovy.

After receiving three strikes under two weeks, she was disqualified and sent packing from the Big Brother house.

Reacting to this, Moet took to her Instastory to advise women against chasing after men like their lives depend on it, and let men do the chasing.

Moet Abebe reacts

According to her, when a man does not end up reciprocating your feelings and you tackle him for it, he would turn around and call you crazy.

The TV presenter wrote in part,

“Not even here to pass judgement but this is the issue… MEN!!!! They will always make you to lack focus.. you end up losing everything, all cos you over invest your emotions etc in them.. Don’t do it!!! Because when you lose you shits & call them out, they turn around and say you are crazy… no dey too follow man oooo!!! They only stain your white and make you burn bridges you can never rebuild. Trust me!!! I know this!!!”

Man laughed to scorn after he broke down in tears because his boss’ dog was sold (video)

Man laughed

A viral video shows the emotional moment a young Nigerian man broke down in tears after his boss’ dog was sold to a customer.

In the video, the man who seemed to have developed a close bond with the dog, couldn’t fight back his tears after seeing the dog being taken away by its new owner, and he turned to a wall to let out his emotions.

Sadly, the new owner found it bizarre that the man was crying over a dog and filmed a video of him crying while laughing and mocking him in the background.

However, the young man’s employer tried to console him and patted him on the back in a bid to encourage him to stop crying.

Watch below,

The emotional video has gotten people talking online, with some saying they understand the man’s pain because it’s difficult to let go of a pet after spending a lot of time with it.

Toyin Lawani suffers

So went for the 3rd baby again, Atleast before I do the final surgery, from my last born’s pregnancy found out I had a cyst in my Brian cause d headaches were super& back pains tripled , I got doctors opinions in Nigeria they said we can’t treat you till you have this baby , best thing is take the baby out&we will get you the care u need.

At this time I was already attached I said no & went abroad, they managed d situation till I had d baby , Which was why they said I couldn’t heve it naturally like my other kids, Got back on my feet in no time, months after my legs & bones gave way, d pain was too much went back again abroad they said my bones were degenerating due to the pressure.

At this point my legs were swollen, I couldn’t walk, this was few days to my 40th birthday party in Nigeria, I had so much plans for my 40th but I said nothing & opted for prayer for my late mom.

Few months forward I found out I was pregnant again, this wasn’t planned at all & i and hubby said tell no one, cause we weren’t sure, even when my friends said, u’re pregnant, I will just laugh abt it 🤣
And say no it’s not there ,unfortunately I got so stressed &depressed, started bleeding as usual cause I bleed having all my kids, from day one till due date, so felt it was normal, but it took a huge turn & I lost it, in the process I’m hearing I need a spine surgery I’m like how old am I 😫

Anyways I have lost so many things in life, But I felt this to my bones ,
Cause it could have bn avoided but I thank God for his mercy upon my life,
