A Nigerian man has shared the funny conversation he had with his mother about popular crossdresser, Idris Okuneye better known as Bobrisky.
The young man had asked his mother what she would do if he brings the controversial crossdresser home as his wife. Without mincing words, the elderly woman said he wouldn’t dare introduce Bobrisky to her as his wife.
However, the man insisted on hearing how she would react in such a circumstance and she revealed that she would chase the both of them away from her house and disgrace them.
The man, who understands his mother’s personality, told her she doesn’t have the tendency to send the ‘woman’ of his choice away because she’s nice to people.
In response, his mother said her kind personality doesn’t matter in this case because she finds Bobrisky irritating and would not hesitate to send him away from her abode.
She added that Bobrisky is and will always be a man and she wouldn’t allow such a person marry her son, however, the young man insisted that the 30-year-old crossdresser is a transgender woman who has changed his manhood into that of a woman and it’s offensive to refer to him as a “He” because he’s a “She”.
Social media commentator, Solomon Buchi is currently receiving heavy backlash on Facebook for saying his fiancée, Arike, is not the most beautiful or intelligent woman.
Buchi who recently proposed to his girlfriend of one year, had on Sunday, July 24, took to his social media page to share a rather controversial writeup about his woman.
According to him, though his fiancée 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.
Read his full post as you scroll,
“You’re not the most beautiful woman; neither are you the most intelligent woman, but 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. There’s no best, there is just someone you choose and see the best in them. This to me is the real love. Not the one that consoles itself in the faux reality that their partner is the most good looking, most intelligent, most successful person in the world. That’s disingenuous and doesn’t give room for love to thrive. My love for you isn’t about you being the best, it’s about you being you. There’s just no other you.
I love you, ayanfe. I’m committed to you. I miss you so much!!! But my love for you is stronger than distance.”
See below,
However, the post didn’t sit well with a lot of people, especially women, and they stormed his comment section to drag him to filth for speaking lowly of his fiancée, while some called him a narcissist.

One of the abducted passengers of the ill-fated Kaduna train who spoke in a new video released by the terrorists has been identified as a lawyer named Hassan Usman.
It would be recalled that on March 28, 2022, terrorists said to be Boko Haram members attacked the Kaduna-bound train, killed some passengers and abducted others, while some lucky passengers were left unscathed.
In a new development, the terrorists have released a heart-wrenching video showing the abducted passengers being flogged with sticks while they wailed and begged for mercy.
In the video, one of the passengers who spoke on behalf of the other passengers, complained bitterly about the Federal Government’s failure to secure their release.
He also called for the help of foreign countries and international bodies to come to their rescue since the Nigerian Government have failed them.
His words,
“I am one of those involved in the train mishap. That train belonged to the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The Government has the responsibility to rescue us, but has failed,” Usman said.
“We called on our relations who were willing to rescue us but the Nigerian government due to being insensitive to our plight did not allow our relations to rescue us.
“This is why we are calling on the big nations of the world such as England, America, France and the remaining international community, the likes of Saudi Arabia, to intervene in this matter with a view to finding a solution
“Truly, these people ( terrorists), their intention was not for us to even spend one week in captivity. They wanted their demands to be met so that they release us. But Nigeria showed no concern over this matter, showing no care.
“We are therefore calling on these big nations of the world, France, Saudi Arabia,England and America, the international community, ECOWAS, AU, they should please help and intervene in this matter. They should come and help us so that a solution could be reached that will enable us reunite with our families,” he added.

“The driver, rather than stop, recklessly zoomed off, knocking down one of the operatives and pulling him along to a distance of about four poles, before he was forced to stop by other members of the team, who immediately went after him.
“In the bid to restrain the driver from further escape, one of the operatives fired a knee-level shot, which got him (driver) in the thigh.

A viral video of a wife tackling her sisters-in-law for not helping with house chores has elicited mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media.
In the trending clip, her husband’s sisters, three of them, were on their phones in the sitting room as she frantically scrambled to prepare dinner for the family after just getting back from the market.
At some point, she apparently couldn’t take them lazing around while she did all the work, so she confronted them and captured the moment on tape.
Confronting them, she noted that they never help with the house chores, as all they do is eat, relax, and be on their phones while they leave her to do all the work alone.
One of the ladies, who was visibly not having it, told the ranting wife that she’s in her husband’s house and it’s her duty to do the house chores without any help from them.
“See them, dem dey here they press phone, upon say I don go market come back, look at them, people that will get married tomorrow. When I talk they will say I’m a bad person. Big girls they cant cook, they will leave everything for me, they want to kill me with work in this house”. she said in part.
The video has stirred varying reactions from netizens. While some agreed with the wife, others took to the side of the in-laws. See some comments as you scroll.

During yesterday’s presentation, Groovy the first housemate to enter the BBNaija house became a quick topic of discussion after a gesture from the show host, Ebuka Obi-Uchendu seemingly suggested that he was wading off bad breath from Groovy.
A Twitter user with the handle @drpenking had shared the video with the caption;
Brush your teeth twice a day. Visit a dentist. No one deserves what Groovy did to Ebuka this night
See video below;
Reacting to the comments and trolling the video got, Groovy’s handler wrote;
If you think it was bad breath, it’s okay If you think it was just Ebuka gesture or laughter , it’s still ok It’s too early for us to do this tho. Love 💕 and 💡
Groovy plans to take it to the next level by being as fun and entertaining as possible. He has no plans to break any of Biggie’s rules. Let’s wait to see if he sticks to his word.

Popular comedienne, ANITA ASUOHA otherwise known as Warri Pikin has finally replied critics and admirers alike who have always questioned her for the way she she worships her husband like an oracle.
Anita’s marriage has been a wonderful union to witness over the years and she shared the secret on how they have been able to work and live together in harmony.
Taking to Instagram to share a number of adorable photos of herself with her husband, Warri Pikin wrote;
“Anita You too worship this your husband like Oracle! You too carry this your husband for head like La Kpa La Kpa! Why? The why dey d 7th Slide❤️💯💪👏 IKECHUKWU My 👑,”
In the video she shared, Warri Pikin’s husband stated, “The husband should not be a taskmaster; you don’t need to show muscle to be the head. Marriage is a teamwork; your wife is not your slave. You are meant to support your wife especially when it comes to attaining a heart goal.”
The Big Brother Naija season 7 has officially commenced and conversations have been buzzing on social media timelines.
One of the most controversial and popular reality star the TV show has produced, Natacha Akide, has asked the organizers of the show to seemingly pay her because of the blueprint and strategy she brought to the show during her time.
Tacha was disqualified during the “Pepper dem” season due to what some people described as “Volatile” character and other misdemeanours.
She eventually went on to become a successful celebrity after her participation in the show but she can’t help but notice that there’s always a ‘Tacha character’ in the seasons that have followed.
She made a video saying;
I need to know who is in charge of the Big Brother Naija marketing team because you can’t say you haven’t seen that since I left the house, every year back to back, there’s always a Tacha 2.0.. there’s always a Tacha that you are infusing. It’s kinda like you are forcing Tacha to pop out from one of the housemates.
There’s an email on my bio, put the call through, do something, let’s work this year.
