“Caroline accused me of ending her marriage twelve years ago” — Toyin Lawani spills (audio)

Toyin Lawani spills

Celebrity stylist, Toyin Lawani has disclosed that actress Caroline Hutchings once accused her of being the cause of her failed marriage to billionaire, Musa Danjuma.

Toyin made this disclosure while speaking on a recent podcast, where she addressed the reason behind her strained relationship with the actress.

Toyin Lawani spills

It can be recalled that the Real Housewives of Lagos stars fought dirty on Twitter over the weekend and spilled their dirty secrets.

During the online brawl which dragged on for hours, the pair accused each other of sleeping with married men, engaging in homosexuality and threesome.

The bad blood was possibly borne years ago while they were still married to their ex-husbands, Musa and Aremo, who were both friends.

Toyin Lawani spills

However, Carolyn’s marriage to Musa ended in 2018 on grounds of infidelity on both sides. Toyin, on the other hand, who got married to her first husband Aremo at age 19, has been tightlipped about what broke her marriage.

Speaking in the podcast, the fashion designer said Caroline accused her of being the cause of her broken marriage twelve years ago.

According to her, she was surprised when the actress named another person as the cause of her failed marriage on an episode of the real housewives of Lagos.

She added that Carolyn probably has a long list of people she’s blaming for her failed marriage.

Listen to Toyin speak below,

Annie Idibia unfollows husband, 2Baba on Instagram amid his reunion with Pero and her children in US (Screenshot)

It may seem as though there’s a brewing feud between legendary singer, 2Baba, and his wife, Annie Idibia.

The celebrity couple fueled speculation that there’s a feud between them after 2Baba’s wife, Annie, unfollowed him on the popular photo sharing platform, Instagram, and has since flooded her page with cryptic posts.

This comes after 2Baba, who recently got a tattoo of all his seven children’s names on his arm, reunited with his baby mama, Pero, and her children in the US.

During his visit, 2Baba attended his daughter, Ehi’s, school game to cheer her up and Pero took to her Insta-stories to hail him.

It appears this did not sit well with Annie Idibia. A quick check on Annie’s Instagram page showed she’s no longer following her husband’s Instagram. See screenshot below.

Meanwhile, this morning she also put up a post advising her fans and followers to always be on guard as some family members are low-key enemies.

God does not create babies, men and women do – Nigerian Pastor

A Nigerian Pastor, Oge C. Ogwe has stated via his Twitter handle that God does not create babies.

According to Pastor Oge, questions like “If God already knows that the world is evil, why does he still send children to be born?” might sound intelligent, the premise is deeply flawed because God does not create babies.

He averred that babies are formed in the mother’s womb as a result of fellowship between man and woman, and not because “there’s a baby-making factory in heaven”.

In his words;

If God already knows that the world is evil, why does he still send Children to be born? I know this sounds like such an intelligent question, but the premise is deeply flawed. Here’s why; GOD DOESN’T CREATE BABIES AGAIN!

I know you think there’s a baby making factory in heaven and the babies are being sorted (just like in Boss Baby, but babies are formed in the mother’s womb, as a result of fellowship between man and woman. They pray in tongues violently and 9 months later, boom, a baby!

Seriously now, Men and Women make babies! Men and Women choose to bring babies into this world. After God created Adam and said “Be fruitful and multiply”, the Job became man’s! God can have a plan for an unborn child (just like in Jeremiah’s case)

But only after the parents decide to have that Child! So your question is best phrased this way…. If parents know that there so much evil in the world, why do they choose to bring children in?! Don’t blame God for something that is entirely up to men and women.

 

45-year-old accountant commits suicide after a long battle with depression in Lagos

accountant commits

An accountant, identified as Folake Abiola, has taken her own life at her residence at Osapa London, in the Lekki area of Lagos State.

The 45-year-old who works with telecommunications company, Glo, reportedly died after drinking a bottle of insecticide on Friday, May 27.

Her lifeless body was found by some of her family members, friends and men of the Nigerian Police Force shortly after.

According to a colleague of the deceased who spoke with Punch anonymously, Folake had been battling with depression for years and claimed she had been saying she wanted to committed suicide for a while.

Addressing rumors that the deceased committed suicide due to loneliness from being unmarried, the colleague said it’s false because Folake had been in two romantic relationships.

“She had been suffering from depression for years and her death has nothing to do with loneliness or lack of a husband or sex. Within the last seven years, I know she was in a relationship twice.

She ended those relationships on her own because of depression. She said she did not want to bring someone else into her life when she could not take care of herself. She was going through extreme depression, but people that did not know what she was going through have been posting rubbish online.

She was a senior accountant at a telecoms firm and we are colleagues. She took her life herself and was buried that same Friday as she was the only Christian in her family.” the colleague said.

The colleague went on to describe Abiola as an angel, a lover of Christ, a conscientious account and a giver.

Reno Omokri reveals why suicide rate is low among Catholics

Reno Omokri reveals

Former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri has shared his thoughts on why suicide rate is low among members of Catholic Church.

Taking to Twitter on Monday, May 30, Reno stated that Catholics rarely commit suicide because they can easily share their burdens with their Priests.

According to him, you can enter into any Catholic Parish to seek counsel and help from a Catholic priest and receive help without knowing the priest.

The social media commentator also opined that if all churches can imbibe this culture, the rate of depression and suicide among Christians will reduce.

He tweeted,

“One reason suicide is VERY RARE in the Catholic Church is that as a Catholic, you can walk into ANY Catholic parish and confide with any Catholic priest and get immediate help. If all Christian churches are like that, depression and suicide will reduce drastically!

Actor Noel Clarke says he contemplated suicide when more than 20 women accused him of sex offences last year

Noel Clarke, a British actor, has confessed that he considered suicide after more than 20 women accused him of sexual misconduct.

Clarke maintained at the time that he “vehemently” denied any sexual misbehavior or criminal activity, and that no criminal charges had been filed against him.

The actor added that he was deeply sorry if any of his actions affected people in a way he did not intend or realise.

Speaking to The Mail on Sunday, Clarke disclosed that he considered cutting his own throat with a knife, but a question from his 11-year-old son snapped him out of it.

In 2021, the Guardian published the allegations of misconduct from the women who all knew Clarke in a professional capacity.

“Twenty years of work was gone in 24 hours. I lost everything,’ he told the newspaper, adding that his career has been cancelled by the allegations. The company I built from the ground up, my TV shows, my movies, my book deals, the industry respect I had. In my heart and my head it has damaged me in a way I cannot articulate.” Clarke told The Mail.

Following the claims against Clarke, ITV canceled the final episode of the drama Viewpoint in which he starred, and Sky, which had shown Clarke’s series Bulletproof, announced that it would no again work with him.

His membership in Bafta was also revoked, as was his prize for outstanding British contribution to cinema, which he had received in 2021.

However, in March of this year, police announced that no criminal investigation would be undertaken into allegations of sexual misconduct leveled against him.

Scotland Yard said in a statement in March 2022 that expert officers had conducted a comprehensive investigation, but the information did not reach the threshold for a criminal probe.

“No man cheats when the wife is submissive” – Nigerian man says

A Nigerian man has averred that a man will not cheat on his wife if she’s submissive to him.

The man, identified as Waziri Mohammed, from Borno State, made this assertion in a Facebook post.

According to him, men will not cheat if their wives are submissive.

“No man cheats when the wife is submissive”, he wrote.

Meanwhile, media personality, Daddy Freeze has opined that submission in marriage goes both ways, and it’s not reserved for women alone.

He said this while reacting to Bishop Oyedepo’s post on social media where he opined that the only way to a fruitful marriage is total submission on the part of the wife.

The clergyman had earlier shared his opinion on marriage via a post on Instagram that read ;

“The only way to a fruitful marriage is total submission on the part of the wife. Until it is in place, every other thing she tries to do will be out of place. A woman who refuses to submit to her husband is disobeying God. As a woman, you might even be a minister of the gospel, and your husband is not, the Word of God still says to submit yourself to him.”

Which he backed up a biblical verse: “A submissive woman is precious in the sight of her husband – Ephesians 5:22.”

Daddy Freeze, however, countered this school of thought as he thinks it is subject to patriarchy and misogyny. In an open letter to the founder of Living Faith Ministries, He stated that submission goes both ways. It’s not reserved for women alone.

Comedian, Zics Aloma breaks silence on allegation of demanding coitus for roles in his Comedy skit

Zics Aloma reacts

Instagram skit maker, Zics Aloma, has reacted to an allegation of demanding for sex for roles from the actors he features in his comedy skits.

The ‘damning’ allegation was shared online last week by a controversial blogger who berated Zics for taking advantage of up and coming comedians.

Well, Punch reached out to the comedian over the weekend in a bid to get him to deny or confirm the allegation.

Reacting, the 30-year-old said he won’t clear the air about the rumour, and people should believe whatever they want to believe about him.

According to him, it’s normal for people to spread rumour about a successful person.

His words,

“I really don’t want to talk about these things. I have been told that if people don’t talk about one, it means one is really not doing well. I don’t blame any blog for writing whatever they want; I blame people who give them audience, because they are just looking for ways to drive traffic to their blogs. I am not clearing any air. People can believe whatever they want to believe.

“The best thing is for you to watch my skits. Anybody that looks like an up-and-coming comedian should be asked what they did for me to feature them. Everyone that becomes successful, most pass through a channel. I became successful because I put in hard work. I shot content for years without being recognised until it got to a point when I was recognised by people and my content started going viral.

“I work with anybody who I feel can deliver. I shoot most of my contents with celebrities. That does not negate the fact that I can work with someone who has just 20 followers. I don’t compromise my content for anything. Some people offer me money to feature in my skits but I tell them ‘no’ because I don’t like their acting.”

Ask any doctor and they will advice that obesity is not fashionable. Bro work out more so you can enjoy all your summer zobo money”, he wrote.
