Reality TV star and influencer, Lucy Edet has revealed one of the prices she has to pay for being a popular figure.
She made this revelation during a question and answer session she had with her followers on Instagram on Monday, July 25.
A follower had asked how she copes with being in the public eye and having people scrutinize her every move because of her celebrity status.
“How are you doing Lucy? like how is life having people in your business all the time?”the follower asked.
In response, the 32-year-old former Big Brother Naija housemate said it has been crazy and it’s more frustrating because finding a man with genuine intentions is difficult.
“The price of fame! The most annoying of it being that dating someone is harder! You don’t know who is just coming to get famous or drag you down! Scary shit”, she wrote.
She also disclosed that she is single and not searching for a man for now.
The reality show star opened up on this in a recent interview with Saturday Punch, where she disclosed that her mother has given up on the idea of her ever getting married.
According to the 31-year-old influencer, she might just get pregnant and have a child instead of getting married to a man.
Popular Nollywood actress, Annie Idibia, has received backlash from netizens over her comment supporting life coach, Solomon Buchi’s, controversial write-up about his fiancée.
The social commentator had taken to his Facebook page to eulogize his woman in a lengthy post. However, his choice of words didn’t sit well with netizens.
According to him, though his fiancée, Arike, is not the most beautiful or intelligent woman he knows, he has chosen to do life with her because he’s not looking for perfection.
“You’re not the most beautiful woman; neither are you the most intelligent woman, but like I’ve chosen to never find perfection in anyone else. I put my gaze on you, and with that commitment, we would mold ourselves for ourselves. Our perfection is in our commitment.
Stating that you’re not the most beautiful/intelligent might sound like it’s not a compliment, yeah? But it’s a realistic base for real love. Acknowledging that my woman isn’t the best, but I’m not looking for the best. I was looking for you and I found you.” He wrote in part.
While many berated Solomon Buchi, actress and wife of legendary singer 2baba, Annie Idibia agreed with his post.
“I love lovee and I love the way you express it in your words. “There’s no best, there’s just someone you choose and you see the BEST IN THEM Deep!”, she wrote.
Annie’s comment elicited a barrage of reactions from users, the majority slamming her, bringing her to number one on the Twitter trend table.
Sensational gospel singer, Mercy Chinwohas shared a video that captures the funny moment she complained about not being allowed to wear beret for her introduction ceremony.
The Port Harcourt born singer who is set to walk down the aisle with her pastor fiancé, Blessed Uzochikwa, introduced her husband-to-be to her family recently and it was indeed a beautiful moment.
She shared a video of the moment a professional gele artist was tying her gele before the ceremony began and she was seen complaining about the stress involved in tying the head gear.
She stated that she was going through a lot of stress because of the way the gele artist was turning her head here and there to get the perfect look.
According to the 31-year-old ‘Obinasom’ crooner, she would have preferred to wear her signature beret for the ceremony because it’s easy to wear as opposed to tying gele.
Speaking in a light-hearted manner, Mercy Chinwo who evidently has a good sense of humour, told the people around to call her husband to come to her rescue, adding that his ‘sister’ is looking for him.
She however noted that she was only joking and was very happy.

The officer spoke in tongues to prove to the motorist that he was indeed spirit-filled and asked the man to “package something” for him.
When the motorist refused to buckle and insisted that his papers were complete, the officer said the man had disobeyed “the speaking of the lord” and asked that they go to the police station for more senior officers to intervene.

There’s an interesting on-going discussion about the rights or lack of of women who are married according to traditional customs in Nigeria.
I’m stunned that people are surprised that the woman or girl child has almost no rights based on most cultures in Nigeria. In fact, if you think otherwise, share any customs or traditions in your community that protects or uplifts women and girls
I mean, I was less than 8 when I decided to stop going with my family to the village for Christmas celebrations in December. This was as a result of the humiliation and pain my mum, especially, always suffered at the hands of her in-laws
They mocked her for having only girl children. Told her that as far as traditions were concerned, she had no children yet. They went as far as calling my sisters and I useless and tried to get my father to marry a second wife who would birth him a son= a heir

Popular Nigerian singer, Gabriel Amanyi, professionally known as Terry G, has finally addressed the comparisons people have made between him and controversial singer, Portable.
Over time, music lovers have compared the self-styled ‘king of the streets’ to fast-rising street hip-hop artist, Portable, noting that their personas are quite similar.
However, speaking in an interview with Punch, the Free Madness crooner said there’s no basis for anyone to compare him to Portable.
When asked how he feels about being likened to Portable, Terry G said that though they are both into the “crazy genre” of music, they are both different personalities.
“I love Portable so much. Despite the fact that I did the ‘crazy genre’ of music, it does not mean that somebody else cannot be inspired and still unique. He is quite unique. There is nothing he has that can be compared to mine, musically and intellectually. I feel nobody should shut him out. He cannot be stopped.
If he stops talking, what else will happen? That is his style. It (controversies) did not just start from me. It started with different guys that represented the streets, and it will still continue. It is normal.” He said.
Speaking on why he has been on a music hiatus, Terry G said,
”I am still the king of the streets, even if I have not released any content in a while. It is deliberate. I had a court case which was going on underground. I could not release any content because of that. I had to use that time to focus on my family and business. I had the urge to release songs but I could not because of the contract I had. Presently, I am working on releasing more content.”

President Muhammadu Buhari has bemoaned the prolonged strike action by the Academic Staff Union of Universities, saying enough is enough.
The president stated this on Monday in Daura, Katsina State, when he received some governors of the All Progressives Congress, legislators, and other political leaders at his residence.
“I hope that ASUU will sympathise with the people on the prolonged strike. Truly, enough is enough for keeping students at home. Don’t hurt the next generation for goodness sake.
“Students from Nigerian universities will be faced with the challenge of competing with others in a highly connected and technology-driven work space, and keeping them at home only deprives them of time, skill and opportunities to be relevant on the global stage.
“Colonial type education was geared towards producing workers in government. Those jobs are no longer there. Our young people should get education to prepare them for self-employment. Now education is for the sake of education. Through technology we are much more efficient. We should encourage our children to get education, not only to look for government jobs.” He said.
A woman who terminated her pregnancy some months ago has recently discovered that she’s still very much pregnant and expected to welcome a baby in a few weeks.
The woman, identified as @BubblesNgwenya, took to Twitter to reveal that in January 2022 she went to a hospital to get an abortion when she found out she was pregnant and was given abortion pills to terminate the pregnancy.
After the ‘abortion’, she said she was getting her monthly cycle regularly and didn’t see any need to return to the hospital to confirm if the abortion was successful, until recently when she started feeling something kicking in her belly, which she assumed was gas.
When she went to see a doctor on July 23, 2022, she was told that she’s presently 8 months pregnant and her estimated due date is August 7.
Her revelation has sparked different reactions on social media with netizens wanting to know more about the ‘miracle’ baby who survived the termination attempt.
One Twitter user asked if it’s possible she was carrying twins and only one was aborted in January, but the lady said it’s just one baby.
The lady simply identified as Ugochi, who shared the heartbreaking incident on Twitter, said she was in love with the young man who tried all he could to get her attention. However, rather than letting him know how she felt, she opened up to her best friend, who, unknown to her, was also interested in the same man.
According to her, her best friend advised her to ignore the man because he’s too proud.
She said it was to her utmost shock when she returned from vacation to see that the said man and the best friend who had advised her against dating him were now an item.
Popular media personality, Latasha Ngwube, has reacted to a video of dancer Korra Obidi vowing never to put her relationship online again.
The mother of two, whose four-year marriage to American doctor Justin Dean recently hit rock bottom, vowed never to flaunt her relationship online again while recounting the role of netizens in her marriage crash.
In a viral video, Korra admits that flaunting her relationship online contributed to their messy split.
According to her, while she and Dean were still together, some jealous social media users would slide into his DM to complain about her, and this eventually led to their split, five days after the birth of their second child. Read here.
“Me, if I have another bae, I will never put him online, you people will destroy it like you destroyed my first marriage. I remember those times someone will go and email him; look at what your wife is doing everyday, how will he not run away how will he not tell me pack out of my house five days postpartum”, she said.
However, reacting, Latasha opined that Korra’s making the video is enough proof that she hasn’t learnt her lesson.
She urged her to move in silence, enjoy her own company, and stop feeding netizens with details about her life.
“Sweety even the fact that you’re making this video says you haven’t learned your lesson. Move in silence, enjoy your own company and stop feeding the onliners. Nourish yourself and work towards a beautiful life. You’re talented and strong, but social media is clearly your weak point. P.s. take responsibility for your actions. You overexposed yourself and your family but affliction need not arise a second time if you’re wise.” She wrote.
A lady has lamented bitterly after kidnappers who abducted her cousin refused to release him despite collecting ransom from their family.
@KhabeerYusrah took to Twitter to reveal that her cousin was kidnapped four days ago and his abductors called their family to demand for a ransom to secure his release.
She said they agreed to the kidnapper’s terms and went to the provided location to hand over the ransom but the kidnappers zoomed off after collecting the money and didn’t release her cousin.
According to her, it’s been hours since the kidnappers collected the ransom yet they have not called to disclose where her cousin is.
Read her full post below,
“My cousin got kidnapped 4days ago, the kidnappers kept calling for ransom negotiation, earlier today they called demanding for the final amount they want or we will never get to see him again, my family complied and an agreement was made that my relatives should drop the money at a given location and pick up my cousin at the next given location. We all jubilated, hamdaala all over that Mu’azu is coming home today.
They got to the location and handed the money to them waiting for them to hand over muaz but these wicked people zoomed off with the money without returning Mu’az💔12hours later no phone call or message from them.Inalilahi waina illaihi rajiun. We don’t know if he’s alive or not.
Nigeria is doomed, our government have failed us over and over again. Just for me to wake up to that terrifying video of the Abj-kd train victims Ya Allah ka kawo mana karshen fitinar nan. La ilaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu mina zalimin”

She said it was to her utmost shock when she returned from vacation to see that the said man and the best friend who had advised her against dating him were now an item.
Narrating the heartbreaking incident on the micro-blogging platform, she wrote,
“This cute guy was all over me and doing all he could to get my attention but my bestie told me to ignore him because he’s too proud and rude. Even though I told her how much I liked him, she made sure I didn’t date him, only for me to come back from vacation and they’re dating 💔”.
A rather interesting yet bizarre love story a lady shared on social media has stirred lots of reactions with many wondering whether or not her story is true.
The supposedly heartbroken lady took to her social media page to share a video where she revealed that her boyfriend dumped her to get married to her mother.
According to the lady, she at first had to wait three years for her boyfriend to return back to Nigeria from overseas so he could propose marriage to her and they start their long-lasting union.
But a twist came when the said boyfriend retuned to the country and found love in the lady’s mother instead. She shared that her mother agreed to his marriage proposal and they got married behind her back.
She shared how they both left Nigeria afterwards and 8 months later, her mum was already 3 months pregnant. The boyfriend then returned two years later and asked the lady whether she is interested in becoming his second wife.
Part of her message reads,
“I waited for my boyfriend for 3yrs to return to Nigeria and propose to me. He finally came back and took interest in my mum instead. My mum said yes to him and they got married without my consent… 2yrs later he returned back to Nigeria and asked if I could be his 2nd wife…”
The suspected terrorist, Ado Aleru, who was recently turbaned as Sarkin Fulani in Zamfara state, has maintained that he did not ask to be given the title.
The suspected bandit kingpin was turbaned as the Sarkin Fulani on July 16 by Aliyu Marafa, Emir of Yandoto, in Tsafe LGA of the state, after the police placed Aleru on its wanted list over his alleged involvement in banditry.
Public uproar over Aleru’s coronation led the state government to suspend Marafa, who had conferred the title on Aleru, who is wanted in neighboring Katsina State for mass killings.
The Governor of Zamafara state, Matawalle, also banned traditional rulers in the state from awarding chieftaincy titles without getting government approval.
However, speaking on the reactions that trailed his coronation, Aleru, in an interview published by DW Hausa on Sunday, July 24, said he did not ask for the title, adding that it was the emir that approached him.
“This title, let me tell you the truth, I didn’t ask for it; they reached out to me regarding it. They called and informed me of what they wanted to give me. Then, I said ‘no, this shouldn’t happen’. But since I have parents, later we sat down and discussed about it, and since the new king has said what he wants to do in his kingdom, I accepted the title.” He said.
The Katsina government had placed a bounty of N5 million on information leading to the arrest of Mr. Aleru, who is accused of killing 52 people in Kadisau, a community in Faskari Local Government in 2019.
Aleru, on his part, denied taking part in the Kadisau village attack linked to him.
In his words,
“The talks about Kadisau, please, I beg you in the name of God to ask the Emir of Kadisau or look for his number and ask him the cause of the attack.”
