“I’m not a playboy” – Singer Fireboy DML clarifies (Video)

Nigerian singer, Adedamola Adefolahan, popularly known as Fireboy DML, has asserted that he’s not a playboy as he explains the idea behind his new album title, “playboy”.

“I want to put a disclaimer, it is not the kind of playboy everybody thinks. It is just a young man that decided to come out of his shell to play, to have fun, experience life, to step into his superstar element. I’ve been shying away from it the past three years as a blown established artist, I think its time for me to step out of shell to enjoy the fame I’ve worked for over the past few years”. He said.

“Don’t come and say I did not check it well” – Anita Joseph speaks on why couples should get intimate before marriage (Video)

Popular Nollywood actress, Anita Joseph, has advised couples to get intimate before they walk down the aisle.

The thespian who gave this advice in a video she shared online enjoined lovers to get intimate and be sure they are sexually compatible before marriage.

She claims that if a couple is able to have an intimate relationship before being married, complaints from couples about their partner’s sexual abilities—which typically come up after marriage—can be easily avoided.

Watch her speak below,

This comes after a heartbroken man narrated how he discovered his wife has a male private part on their wedding night.

According to the Ghanaian man, he and his wife dated for three years before they walked down the aisle, but he had no idea she’s an hermaphrodite because they never got intimate.

He remarked that their resolution to maintain their virginity until their wedding night and refrain from any type of sexual tension between them had been made from the beginning of their relationship.

He noted that their spiritual life also helped them to keep their chastity up to the night of their wedding.

However, on the night of their wedding, he claims he felt something strange and, to his amazement, saw both male and female organs, which she never once mentioned.

Yul Edochie’s brother, Linc, reacts after he was accused of mistreating the actor’s first wife, May

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie’s brother, Linc Edochie, has reacted after he was accused of unfollowing and not showing support for his brother’s first wife, May.

Yul Edochie, who has been married for 17 years to his first wife, May, unveiled colleague Judy Austin as his second wife in April. Although at the time, his brother, Uche, said their family was not in support of the union.

In an Instagram post, Uche claimed Yul’s marriage to actress Judy Austin was not supported by the Edochie family, who counseled him against going ahead with the marriage, but he refused.

However, Yul Edochie’s brother, Linc, came under fire from online-in-laws after he left a comment on the actor’s latest Instagram post where he hailed him for his doggedness and hard work.

Yul Edochie unfollows

Instagram users trooped to Linc’s comment and accused him of unfollowing May on Instagram, never celebrating her wins, and overall being unfair to her.

In response, Linc debunked the claim that he unfollowed his sister-in-law on Instagram and slammed his critics for basing their judgment on internet reports rather than real confirmation of the truth.

“Please verify before attacking me. I didn’t unfollow anybody. According to late Tupac Shakur, don’t judge me if you don’t know me…Abusing my family over what you know nothing about except reported speeches online makes me laugh in Swahili. I won’t trade words with you. Have a blessed day.” He wrote.

Too many Nigerians have been molested as kids for this to be a lie!

You treat kids like they’re not people, disrespect their autonomy, have no laws protecting them from abuse/labor, and in the same breath open your dirty mouths to tell women that don’t want kids that they’re wrong.

I’m doing what’s best for my kids by refusing to birth them!

I should birth kids so that you people can traumatize them, So that I can raise them in love & send them to school to be beaten by teachers, leave them with relatives for them to be raped,
I’m glad I’m a lesbian & don’t have to worry about them accidentally coming! God forbid!!!”

BBNaija star, Angel reveals what scares her the most about marriage

Angel reveals

Reality TV star and writer, Angel Smith has taken to Twitter to reveal what scares her the most about marriage.

In a series of tweets, the 22-year-old BBNaija star said she’s scared because she has to have sexual intercourse with her husband without protection despite knowing that a lot of married men cheat without using protection with their sidechicks.

Angel reveals

According to her, if it’s a relationship, one can easily use protection when having sex with their partner but it’s not so in marriage, which exposes one to HIV and other sexual transmitted diseases (STD).

She tweeted,

“I think the scariest part of marriage; FOR ME, is that you actually don’t really have a decision in terms of using protection, you expect your partner to be loyal but it’s many people outchea cheating on their partners without using protection😃

Like at least in a relationship outside of marriage I can choose to simply use protection throughout but like marriage sorta scraps that off the table and I am too much of a hypochondriac

I’ve seen too many bizzare stories of people infecting their husbands/wives with stds and I want no part AT ALL Lmfaooo

The story where the husband knew he had gotten hiv, gave it to his wife, she got really ill and he knew that was what the problem was, still didn’t tell her and then she found out when she was almost d*ing. It’s a no from meeee dawggg.”

“There are many male actors engaged in illicit sexual activity too” – Latasha Ngwube reacts to Alibaba questioning the source of income of Nollywood actresses

Media personality, Latasha Ngwube, has replied to ace comedian, Alibaba, who in a trending video questioned the source of income of some Nollywood actresses.

The comedian had taken to social media to question how female Nollywood stars are able to fund their extravagant lifestyles and asked them to stop deceiving naïve girls on social media.

In the trending clip, Alibaba questioned how actresses can afford houses worth N45 million in only a few months of joining the movie industry.

He shared a personal experience of an actress who he claimed accompanied a top shot to Dubai, stayed with him in a hotel and days later was on Instagram posting ”lounging in Dubai?”.

“How many movies have you done that gave you 45 Million naira to buy a house? The industry that you just joined? I may be tempted to mention names but I will not. We went to Dubai one time and I see this Actress, I saw the person she was with.. I greeted them, they greeted me and everything”, he said in part.

Reacting, Latasha berated Alibaba, noting that his post reeked of sexism and sounded like a direct attack on women.

In her words,

“With all due respect Uncle Ali, I don’t think you’re the person best suited to take on this topic. I think it’s beneath you and smacks of sexism. There are many male actors who are also doing the “wrong things” and engaged in illicit sexual activity with (older) women for pay and even other senior men. Your approach sounds like an attack on women when we should be focused on all genders and the pressures they put men and women under with their deceptive lifestyle. P.s. even those you identified that do business, it’s still not guaranteed that their ways are pure.”

Entertainers, professionals are the reason poor people sell their votes – Seun Kuti

Nigerian singer, Seun Kuti, has said that professionals and entertainers are the reason poor Nigerians sell their votes during elections.

The Afrobeat legend, while making this assertion, listed actors, professionals, and musicians as some of those who have sold their souls to politicians.

According to him, the decisions of the masses are influenced by entertainers and professionals who have sold their talents to politicians for their selfish gains.

Seun, who stated this during the Afrobeats Podcast with Adesope Olajode, noted that entertainers declare support for corrupt political leaders; it shapes the people’s mindset.

According to him, it is evil and hypocritical for government employees, attorneys, journalists, and bankers to show their support or work for corrupt public officials while simultaneously criticizing voters who solicit money to support a certain candidate or political party.

Watch him speak below,

Meanwhile controversial Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu, has alleged that he rejected millions of naira offered to him to endorse a candidate ahead of the 2023 general elections.

FG defends

The Federal Government of Nigeria has defended President Buhari’s decision to purchase vehicles worth N1.145 billion for the Republic of Niger.

Speaking on the controversial decision that has sparked outrage from Nigerians, the Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, while responding to questions from newsmen after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by the President at the State House, Abuja, said it’s to enhance Niger’s capacity to protect their country as relating to security.

FG defends

She added that this is not the first time Nigeria is offering assistance to its neighboring countries.

Her words,

“Let me just say that overtime, Nigeria has had to support its neighbours, especially the immediate neighbours to enhance their capacity to secure their countries as it relates to us. This is not the first time that Nigeria had assisted Niger Republic, Cameroon or Chad.

The President makes an assessment as to what is required based on the request of their Presidents. Such requests are approved and interventions are provided.

It is to enhance their capacity to protect their countries, as it relates to security and also to Nigeria.

Nigerians have the rights to ask questions, but also the President has the responsibility to make an assessment of what is in the best interest of the country and I cannot question the decision myself.

I have said this is not the first time and that Nigeria as a country has provided an intervention to our neighbours. It is in the best interest of Nigeria to do so.”

Uduak Frank Akpan, the first accused in the murder of jobseeker Iniubong Umoren, to death by hanging.

The trial judge, Justice Bassey Nkanang, in his judgement, sentenced Akpan to death by hanging and life imprisonment on the two charges of murder and rape preferred against him on Thursday, August 4.

The court, however, discharged and acquitted his father, Frank Akpan, and sister, Anwan Bassey, (2nd and 3rd accused), who were standing trial for accessory after the fact to murder.

Recall that Akpan lured the deceased, a 26-year-old graduate of the University of Uyo (UNIUYO) with a fake job interview on April 29, 2021, killed her and buried her remains in a shallow grave in his father’s compound.

Ms Umoren was confirmed dead on April 30 and was buried on Friday in her hometown of Nung Ita, Ikot Essien, in Akwa Ibom State’s Oruk Anam Local Government Area.

Meanwhile, Akpan, in an interview with newsmen, claimed he killed his victim in self-defense.

Frank, in his not-so-convincing side of the story, said Ini attacked him, he defended himself by hitting her, and the blow led to her death.

“They won rip me, thieves in government uniform” – Mompha writes as he shows off his luxury wristwatches retrieved from EFCC

Mompha writes

Nigerian socialite, Ismaila Mustapha, popularly known as Mompha, has continued to react after he was declared wanted by the EFCC.

On Wednesday, the anti-graft agency declared the billionaire businessman wanted for alleged money laundering and called on members of the public with useful information on his whereabouts to contact the nearest police station.

Mompha writes

The EFCC claimed that Mompha failed to appear in court for his money laundering trial.

Mompha however went online shortly afterwards to share his side of the story and accused the EFCC of being a corrupt-laden agency.

He explained that after his arrest and arraignment before a Lagos Court in 2021, the presiding judge ordered the EFCC to release his wristwatches and other valuables in their custody.

According to him, the anti-graft agency were displeased with the judgement and came up with another trumped up charges against him.

He also claimed they wanted to force him into a plea bargain so he can be convicted for a crime he didn’t commit.

Mompha has now taken to his Instastory to share a picture of the confiscated luxury wristwatches he was able to recover from the EFCC and another picture showing the price of one of the wristwatches.

He then alleged that the anti-graft agency operatives are after him because they want to rip him off the luxury wristwatches.

She added, “You will get paid at least 15,000 baht (around £340) a month, get free accommodation, and free meals. But you need to help me out. Two will be hired to help with document work in my office, and another one will be hired to take care of me, my husband, and my child.”

Patheema said there won’t be rivalry between herself and the women, and her husband would be free to choose who he wants to sleep with at anytime.

“I guarantee there will be no fight between you and me. I allow my husband to choose who he wants to sleep with or stay with. No schedule, he can pick by himself,” she said.
