“Some pastors’ wives have low self esteem. They can’t stand the presence of a well endowed beautiful single lady in church” – Wife of Akwa Ibom pastor says

Emem Isong, wife of popular Akwa Ibom-based pastor, Ab Isong, has averred that some pastor’s wives are insecure about beautiful, well-endowed single ladies in their church.

According to Mrs. Isong, who made this assertion in a Facebook post on Thursday, June 23, such women have low self-esteem and are typically intimidated by the presence of a well-endowed, attractive single lady in their congregation.

“Some pastors’ wives have low self esteem. They can’t stand the presence of a well endowed beautiful single lady in church. They always pour their frustrations on them.” She wrote on Facebook.

See her post below,

A while ago, the Nigerian clergyman advised singles to stop waiting for ready-made spouses but rather get married and build the life of their dreams with their partner.

The Akwa Ibom-based preacher gave this advice in a Facebook post while sharing before and after photos of himself and his wife.

He shared a photo showing him and his wife in 2010 when they got married and another showing how far they have come.

“Some people are still struggling to find who to marry because they lack the ability to build and the patience to wait. When a man wants to build a house, he’ll first get the land and then proceeds to have the building in his head interpreted via drawing and gradually work begins and then months or years later, an amazing masterpiece is erected to the admiration of everyone.

“Don’t forget that place was once an empty space. Stop looking for a ready-made spouse! Majorly there’s nothing like the husband or wife of my dream. Stop! let’s rewind this tape. You said the husband or wife of your dream abi?

This is what it means, take a decision, marry and then turn your spouse to the model you saw in your dream. The grass is greener on the other side na person water am. The picture on the left is us as raw materials taken in 2010 and the picture on the right is our recently captured picture of the future we saw in 2010, do you understand?” He wrote in part.

Lawyer attends Supreme court proceedings in traditional worshipper’s regalia after apex court approved use of hijab in schools and public places (Photos)

A Nigerian human rights lawyer caused a stir at the Supreme Court in Abuja today, June 23, when he attended proceedings in the apex court in his traditional worshipper’s regalia.

According to the lawyer, who was also barefoot, a Supreme Court ruling indicated that Nigerians were allowed to dress in their religious garb.

Speaking with reporters, he explained that he made the decision to wear that attire in response to the Supreme Court’s decision from June 17 that permitted Nigerians to display their modes of worship, which includes the wearing of hijab in public settings.

In his words,

“By the Supreme Court judgement, we have been given license to dress in our religious attires. It would be a flagrant violation of my fundamental right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion for anyone to stop me.”

Her words,

Wife narrates how a lady sent a DM to her husband, telling him he doesn’t deserve her because she is fat (video)

A content creator, Alicia McCarvell, has responded to criticisms of her relationship online after trolls claimed she doesn’t deserve her husband because she is fat.

Alicia McCarvell and her husband became an internet sensation after an adorable love-up video of them was shared online. In no time, the video went viral and has garnered over 22 million views since it was shared online.

The transition video showed the couple standing in front of a mirror in their towels before getting dressed to attend a wedding together.

Although many of the comments that followed the video were positive, it didn’t stop trolls from making snide comments about the couple. McCarvell said she got comments from people telling her that she doesn’t suit her husband’s “beauty standard” because of the difference in their sizes.

She went on to narrate how a woman recently messaged her husband, Scott, and told him he should be with somebody who looks like her instead of his wife.

Addressing her critics in a video she shared online, she said,

“My video went viral, and I know we all know why. It’s because by beauty standards we don’t make sense. The world looks at us and immediately values Scott more than me. They say things like ‘oh, she must not have been fat when they met or oh, she’s got to be rich. Or they try to decrease his side of the equation by saying he must be gay, or he fetishes fat women.”

She noted that her body’s conformity to conventional beauty standards is “not on the top of his list” when it comes to her husband’ values.

In her word,
“He values my humour, my commitment and my love and my caring heart. None of these things that he values change if my body changes.”

Iroko TV boss, Jason Njoku reacts after a Twitter user said making money stops nonsense from Nigerian parents

Jason Njoku reacts

iRoko TV boss, Jason Njoku has reacted to a Twitter user who said becoming independent takes control from Nigerian parents.

According to @ChigozieObi_, the best way to take charge of your life and stop your parents from imposing their will on you is to make your own money.

Read her tweet below,

In reaction, Jason disagreed with her point of view and asserted that the amount of money one makes should not determine how you relate with your parents.

According to him, though he makes more money in a month than his mom makes in a year, he still listens to her opinion whether he is in agreement with it or not.

Read his full tweet below,

“So. Let’s start again. 💸shouldn’t be the decider in child vs parent relations. If your parents calls. Try prioritize if. At 42 If my mum needs me or voices an opinion I don’t like. I listen. At the minimum she deserves that basic respect. I’m a parent. I hope my kids learn.

A Civil War which is trying to be fermented isn’t it. Our culture was never like that. It’s was all about community. I hate the way we are moving to nuclear focused. It’s not like the oyinbo are even happy with that model. I make a point wherever I am in the world to call my mum.

Daily. It’s only when you get to my age (42) & every month or so a friend’s parent is dying that you realize how important that connection is. Rich or poor. If your parents tried for you. Drop your ego and try for them. If you don’t I guarantee your kids will treat you the same.

This is a tangent btw. There was an original thread inspired me. It’s not directly related. Appears it’s causing too much confusion. 🙏🏾💪🏾. In summary. Love your parents as much as they love you. Opinions and control are in the eyes of the beholder. 🙏🏾”

“Please help me, I want to see the corpse” – Singer Portable cries out as police allegedly demand N5 Million over motorcyclist’s death (video)

Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has cried out over the huge sum of money the police are allegedly demanding following the death of a commercial motorcyclist who was crushed to death by his signee.

It was earlier reported that Portable’s aide allegedly killed a commercial motorcyclist in an accident that occurred in Ogun state on Tuesday, June 21.

The Ogun State Police Command confirmed the tragic incident in a statement on Wednesday.

The spokesperson of the state police command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the incident, said it was an accident.

“The accident occurred at Ilogbo area in Ogun state where one of Portable’s aides hit a motorcyclist and the man did not survive as he died on his way to the hospital. We are not sure if the driver in question was drunk or not.”

However, Portable in his account dispelled the claim that the motorcyclist died on his way to the hospital. According to him, the victim made it to the hospital and received treatment.

Portable, who noted that the driver of the car was his signee, said he was at the hospital to see the victim, who confirmed that he was fine and had just back pain.

Portable said it was to his utmost shock when the police told him of the man’s passing barely 30 minutes after he left the hospital.

The Zazu Zeh star, who suspects foul play, said the police are demanding 5 million naira from him and did not allow him to see the man’s corpse.

He added that although there are claims that the victim passed away, he hasn’t been shown any corpse, and demanded to see the corpse.

Police release photos of boyfriend who connived with his friends to assault his girlfriend for allegedly cheating on him in Kwara

The Kwara state police command has released photos of Jimoh Abdulfatai, the young man who conspired with his friends to assault his girlfriend over claims that she was cheating on him.

Fatai had invited his girlfriend, Aduke, to his house where he had gathered a couple of his friends to deal with her for allegedly cheating on him.

When she arrived at his apartment, she met some of his friends, all males, in his living room. He later began to interrogate her, accusing her of engaging in hookups.

The boyfriend, Fathai

Fatai had his friends hold Aduke’s hands and legs while he flogged her. At one point, he pulled her pants before he had a change of heart and wore her pants back. 

The video from the scene of the incident was shared online and sparked outrage from Nigerians on social media, with many calling for the prosecution of Fatai and his friends.

However, in a statement released today, June 23, SP Okasanmi Ajayi revealed that the suspects have been remanded after being arraigned in court.

The statement reads;

“The Kwara State Police Command wishes to inform the general public of her swift action in response to a viral video that trended in many social media platforms, blogs and on virtually every lip yesterday, showing a young lady by name Ayomide Afolayan, other details withheld, was seen being horrendously, heartlessly and indecently assaulted by her supposed boyfriend named Jimoh Abdulfatai of Shao in Moro Local government area of Kwara State.

Her hands and legs were tightly held by four other friends of the first suspect named, Olamide Babatunde, Afeez Ayomide, Agboola Abdulsamad and Yakubu Mustapha for severe effect.

The Police in Shao got wind of this highly despicable incident which prompted a swoop on the scene; the suspects were rounded up, victim liberated and was taken to hospital for treatment.

The Commissioner of Police, Cp Tuesday Assayomo psc (+), directed immediate transfer of the matter to the Command’s CID for discreet and timely investigation. The suspects confessed to the crime, and the reason adduced for their senseless action was a mere suspicion of infidelity on the part of the lady which the lady vehemently denied. In spite of the denial, the boyfriend forcefully retrieved the lady’s telephone handset and handed over the phone to one of his friends to start videoing the actions and eventual posting on social media.

Investigation done with, suspects were charged to court and were remanded in custody pending hearing and actual trial of the matter. This will serve a deterrent to other people having such criminal and appalling tendency in their minds.

The Commissioner of Police Kwara State, wishes to use this opportunity to advise parents on the need to be parents in the real sense of it; parents should monitor their children, know the kind of friends they keep so as to avert this type of ugly incident.”

“A man can serve you breakfast because you are loving him too much” – Nigerian lady says

A Nigerian lady has taken to microblogging platform, Twitter, to assert that a man can dump his girlfriend for loving him too much.

@Ugochifine shared this unpopular opinion on Wednesday, June 22, as she recounted how her ex-boyfriend broke up with her because she was doing “too much” in their relationship.

She went on to advise ladies not to go the extra mile for their boyfriends or play the role of a wife instead of the girlfriend that they are.

However, she didn’t disclose the things she did for her ex-boyfriend that was considered as “doing too much”.

She wrote,

“After my ex boyfriend served me breakfast, I was surprised because I thought I was doing all the things I was supposed to be doing as a great girlfriend but after sometime, I started seeing all the things I was doing wrong when I was with him. Ladies, sometimes, men dump you not because you are not loving him enough but because you are loving him too much! I realized I was playing the role of a wife instead of a girlfriend and that’s what got me dumped! If you are a girlfriend, you have no business playing the role of a wife. I was doing too much 🤦🏽‍♀️💔”
