Well, a Muslim Twitter user took to the platform on Sunday, June 27, to express his seeming displeasure with the actress for wearing a leg chain.

“Can someone help me explain @Rahma_sadau”, the Twitter user captioned a picture of the actress.

In response, Rahama who has been repeatedly criticized over her mode of dressing, said the chain is an expensive original gold.

She wrote, “Hello Anonymous, that’s an expensive REAL GOLD hope that answers your question.”

However, the Twitter user wasn’t satisfied with her response and took to the platform to share his thoughts on why women wear leg chains.

“Wearing a chain on leg means, the person is married and also available for other men to take out with the encouragement and approval of the husband.
But @Rahma_sadau said that’s an expensive REAL GOLD, you didn’t explain, you only tell me what that is!

“No love in the city again. Go and hustle” — Singer, Portable warns fans against running after his car for money

Portable warns

Popular Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola better known as Portable, has warned his fans against running after his car whenever they see him drive-by.

The singer, who drives a white Range Rover and is known for spraying money at passersby, took to his Instagram page to read his riot act on Sunday, June 28.

He advised his fans to go and hustle to make their own money because as from Sunday, he would stop spraying money or giving out money to people.

Portable warns

According to him, he would rather give out money to the less privileged, widows and children in his village, than give to his fans whom he referred to as “thieves” and “wicked souls”.

The Zazuh star also cited the motorcyclist who recently passed away after being hit by his aide at the Ilogbo area of Ogun state.

He captioned the video,

“It’s now getting of hand people running after my car always when passing by

No more spraying of money cause it’s turning to something else . If I want show love I’ll rather go to the village and help those grandmas and kids that really need support

How 7-year-old boy broke into house in Ibadan, cooked rice, ate all the meat in pot, drank milk then stole two phones and N4,000

A seven-year-old primary one pupil has been nabbed after he broke into a house in Ibadan, the Oyo state capital, and carted away two phones and N4,000.

Nigerian Tribune reports that the minor also cooked rice, ate all the meat in the pot and drank the milk he found in the house, located in the Olomi, Ibadan.

He’s said to have opened the padlock with a key to gain entry into the room of one of the wives, Mrs. Adijat Fatai.

He allegedly broke into the woman’s wardrobe, rifled through her clothing, and took two mobile phones, N4,000, and other items.

The child proceeded inside the younger wife’s room as well, but he was unable to discover anything worth stealing. He was reported to have entered the kitchen, cooked rice in a kettle with a camp gas and ate all the meat he found in the pot.

After the first meal, he reportedly drank the milk he also found, and began to cook rice again.

He was said to have kept the phones with a woman in the neighborhood and ran out of the elderly woman’s house, telling her that he would be back despite her query on how the phones came about.

By the time he returned to his place of operation, the rice he had put on fire had gotten burnt, but this did not stop him from eating the remnants.

He was said to be on this when he heard footsteps and quickly ran to the backyard.

The boy was caught last Thursday, June 23, and during interrogation, he confessed to having given his grandmother the N2,000 he stole.

He also admitted to opening the front door with a cutlass, cooking rice twice, drinking milk, and returning to the house after giving his grandmother the N2000.

“Unfortunately for me, one of those living in the house met me there but I told a lie that it was a boy who came there to steal, I have broken into four houses in the last two days before I was caught today (Thursday).” He said.

However, Mrs Adijat Fatai, whose room was burgled by the suspect, said he stole N4,000 from there and not N2000 as he claimed.

Musibau, one of the sons of Mr Hassan Fatai, whose house was burgled, said,

“The boy ran to the backyard when he heard footsteps. We met all doors ajar and saw him at the backyard. When asked about who went into the house, he said it was a boy. He said he knew the boy and took us somewhere but we found nobody. He told us again that he knew where the boy kept the flask in which he put the rice he cooked. He took us there and brought out the flask.

“He promised to bring the boy to us if he sees him. We became suspicious that he must know something about the house-breaking and stealing. We told him that we suspected him and would report him to the police. That was how he started confessing that he was the one who broke in.”

The vigilante commandant of Oluyole Local Government, Olusegun Idowu, told Tribune that he and his men had been in search of the boy’s father, Ahmed Rasheed, said to a commercial motorcycle operator.

Rasheed reportedly promised to remove his son from the neighborhood after learning of his crime and acknowledged that the law would be allowed to take its course if he refused to do so or if his son returned to the neighborhood to commit another theft.

Meanwhile, the victims said they decided against reporting the case to the police because of the boy’s age.

People said I was a gold digger and married her for money – BBA star, Elikem speaks on failed marriage to ‘rich’ Pokello

Elikem speaks

Big Brother Africa star, Elikem Kumordzie has opened up on his failed marriage to his co-reality show star, Pokello Nare.

Elikem and Pokello met and found love in each other during the 2014 Big Brother Africa show, and got married a year later in 2015.

They however divorced in 2017 over irreconcilable differences a few months after welcoming their first son, Tristan.

Elikem speaks

The Ghanaian actor and fashion designer speaking in a recent interview with Zion Felix shared his experience from being married to the Zimbabwean Businesswoman.

He said he was labelled a “gold digger” for getting married to her because she comes from a wealthy family.

He told ZionFelix;

“Sometimes people would say Elikem is a gold digger and he is only there for the money, and sometimes it hit me a little bit. That is why I wanted to come to Ghana on my ground, so we work from the bottom up. I wasn’t so much insecure, it was more of wanting to do my own thing.”

He said they had a misunderstanding over which country they would settle down in after the marriage – which compounded their marital issues.

Elikem speaks

According to Elikem, he relocated to Zimbabwe to be with her but it did not work out for him so he had to go back to Ghana.

His words,

“There was a misunderstanding on where we were going to live. I tried to move to Zimbabwe for a bit. I dismantled my machine into pieces and traveled with it in suitcases. I had to start my business over there, I had a few customers. I was there for 2 to 3 months, and it wasn’t going so well.”

I tried coming back to Ghana, but for some reason, Zimbabwe was more comfortable for Pokello. Everybody knows she was good from the start, and I was the one who was rather working to make ends meet more. She and her family were quite wealthy, and I was the guy who was coming out of nowhere.

“I have failed in my life, but I’ve never failed in leadership” – Actress Tonto Dikeh

Nollywood actress cum politician, Tonto Dikeh, has asserted that she is confident in her ability to succeed as Deputy Governor of Rivers State, as she has never failed in leadership.

It was earlier reported that Tonte Ibraye, the gubernatorial candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Rivers State, announced actress Tonto Dikeh as his running mate for the 2023 governorship election in the state.

In an interview with Channels Television, Tonto Dikeh discussed her candidacy under the African Democratic Congress (ADC), noting that while it has generated controversy, her choice to enter politics was well-considered and something she has been working for at least three years.

“I am prepared for anything, truthfully. I have had three years to work on this, its not something that I just came out or emerged with. We’ve had a lot of time to work on this and for this. Criticism, I am ready, non-criticism I am ready. So, it doesn’t matter where the questions are coming from.

“I have failed in my life and I’m not denying that. Everyone has seen that.

“But am I going to fail with leadership? Have I failed in leadership? Start from motherhood, have I ever failed in motherhood, talk about my foundation. I think it was one of the foundations that stood up for this country, in the time of the pandemic, with no assistance whatsoever. I did even more than the government.” She said.
