A Brazilian man, Arthur O Urso, who married nine wives at once to celebrate free love has revealed he plans to marry two more women and wants babies with all of them.
The model made headlines sometime ago when he discussed his controversial marriage to nine women. According to him, he decided to marry nine women in a collective wedding to celebrate “free love” and “protest against monogamy”.
Now, after facing a divorce from one of the women, the Urso says he hopes to find two more ladies to marry.
One of the wives named Agatha said the idea of polyamory isn’t appealing to her anymore so she intends to leave.
Speaking on Agatha’s decision to leave, Urso said, “She wanted to have me all to herself. It didn’t make sense – we have to share.”
“I was very sad about the separation and even more surprised by her excuse. She said that she was missing a monogamous relationship. My other wives thought her attitude was wrong and that she accepted the marriage for adventure and not for real feelings,” he added.
“I know I’ve lost a wife, but I’m not going to replace her at the moment.” he said
Now, with 8 wives, the Brazilian model hopes to marry two more women to bring his total of wives to 10.
In his words,
“I have a dream – my wish has always been to have 10 wives. I only have one daughter. But I want to have a child with each one of my wives. The love I feel for each of them is the same. I think it would be unfair to only have children with one or two of them.”
A viral video that showed a woman starring at a man purported to be her husband during a sermon in church has stirred hilarious reactions from social media users.
The Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Paul Enenche, during a sermon in his church, addressed men who stopped buying gifts for their partners after they got married.
He berated men who do not even remember the last time they bought a scarf, shoe, or clothes for their wives, despite living together in the same house.
Surprisingly, as the clergyman was speaking, a woman fixed her gaze at a gentleman seated beside her, who was listening intently.
She kept staring at him, shaking her head and smiling, an action that suggests that the man is guilty of what is being said.
Sharing the video online, an Instagram user noted that that’s one of the disadvantages of sitting close to one’s wife during a sermon.
@fav__baby123 wrote, “Oga no wan look him wife coz his guilty”.
@julucyjulucia, “SOOOO ME ESPECIALLY WHEN OUR REVEREND FATHER IS TALKING ABOUT FATHERS….AND THEY TALK ABOUT THEM GIVING YOUR DAUGHTERS MONEY AND TAKING PROPER GOOD CARE OF THEM I WILL JUST BE LOOKING AT MY DAD LIKE mahd ”.
Nigerian supermodel, Faith Morey has highlighted some qualities she looks out for in a man and what would make him her “ideal man”.
Speaking in a recent interview with TheGuardian, the Rivers-born actress and fashion designer who is currently based in the US, said her ideal man must be good in bed, rich and should not feel threatened by her numerous achievements.
Her words,
“My ideal man must be able to love not just me but my little man. He must be smart, make me laugh, honest, actively support my career, emotionally mature, willing to put in work, be good in bed, rich, old enough, respect me and listen to me. He must celebrate my achievement and do not feel threatened. And he must be a manly man.”
In a video she shared on her Insta-stories, she noted that these lesbians cheat on their husbands in their matrimonial home with their lesbian partners, whom they introduce to their man most of the time as their best friend.
Speaking further, Faith Morey said the innocent men are do not have a problem with such friendship because they are women, not knowing there’s more to it.
“How many married men in Nigeria are married to Lesbians without them knowing, and these lesbians are cheating under their roof. These partners can be their best friend, their supposed omg we’ve been girlfriends for 10 years, 5 years and of course the husband is like, oh, I’m cool with it because she’s a girl, not knowing that’s her lover”. She said.
Nigerian disc jockey, Florence Otedola, popularly known as DJ Cuppy, has got people talking with her choice of outfit for her grandma’s 90th birthday.
Mrs. Dejo Otedola, the mother of billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola, and one-time first lady of Lagos State, had a grand party on Sunday, April 3rd to celebrate her turning 90.
Her granddaughter, who has been away for her masters programme at the University of Oxford, England, flew in to Nigeria to celebrate her grandma and even performed at the event.
Cuppy was dressed in an Ankara fabric and wore an indigenous hat fashioned from the same material. Her choice of outfit, however, left people talking, and many have taken to social media to share their thoughts on the outfit. See some comments below,
A Twitter user @jenfa4uall wrote, “Why is she dressed like NURTW chairman”.
@AimThaMachine_, “Why is Cuppy dressed like she’s the women’s leader in APC presidential rally?”.

Twitter user, Asiwaju Lerry has finally met his long-time crush, Florence Otedola better known as DJ Cuppy, in person for the first time.
The duo met up at the 90th birthday party of DJ Cuppy’s grandmother over the weekend and Asiwaju seemingly can’t keep calm about it.
Asiwaju has been crushing on the entertainer for the longest time and grabs every opportunity to shoot his shot at her on social media – and all this gained the attention of the billionaire’s daughter.
It was reported that the pair had a virtual date on Valentine’s day because Cuppy was in London, while Asiwaju is based in Nigeria.
Well, Cuppy’s grandmother celebrated her 90th birthday recently and Asiwaju got an invite to party with the elites.
Taking to his Twitter page to share a video of him and Cuppy dancing at the event, he wrote, “Took that digital Love to real Life. #CupLerry ”
Watch below,
He was also pictured with Cuppy’s sister, Temi Otedola and her beau, singer Mr Eazi.
A video serving the rounds online has captured the moment a Nigerian lady paid her ex-boyfriend a visit in his home.
The lady in the now viral video revealed she was missing her former man, so she decided to pay him a visit, although their relationship had ended a while ago.
She noted that her former lover was happy to see her, and in his excitement he recounted what led to their breakup.
According to him, he was hot-tempered and would usually flare up over little things. This pushed the lady to call other guys, which made him furious when he found out and eventually led to their break-up.
The video generated mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media. While some praised the two for the cordial relationship that still exists between them, others opined that it was wrong to visit one’s ex. See some comments below.
@itz_quinomy, “You wakeup baff enter road to go see your Ex!!!! Nawa oooo ”.
@badboi_vegas, “Make them finish go knack again”.
@escaped_albino, “Awww there’s still small love in there”.
@obekii, “Wetin happen after the interview o..cuz egbon just Dey smile nii o..if you know you know”.
American rapper, Cardi B, has deactivated her Twitter and Instagram accounts following a Twitter spat with fans who berated her for skipping the 64th Grammy Awards ceremony.
Fans of the WAP star called her out after they noticed that she was absent at the event.
A fan tweeted, “My thing is, why hype us up if you know [you’re] not going from the jump? [Cardi B] needs to take her fans more seriously this is getting ridiculous, I’m sorry.”
Cardi B then replied, “When did I hype y’all up? Where and when did I ever hints? Like are you okay. I’m not going to award show if I don’t got a new song to perform Or my album ain’t out.”
Another fan wrote, “You literally could’ve said that, as fans that barely get fed WE WANT TO SEE YOU what do you expect, you could’ve said something period.”
Cardi fired back, “Unmmmmm wtf you want me to say I been posting on my IG stories where I been at … like clearly I’m in my house and I’m in NY the f***k.”
Another fan hit back at Cardi, “Your job is literally music and it’s just like you don’t care about it anymore you’ve been saying you have a album on the way since 2019 girl pleaseeeee.”
A Twitter user also stated that one of her two children with her husband Offset, 30, was autistic.
A furious Cardi slammed her fans and revealed she was deactivating her Twitter and Instagram accident for her peace and to protect herself.
“I’m deleting my Twitter but on God I hate this f**kin dumbass fan base. You got the slow dumbasses dragging my kids all cause y’all [thought] I was going to the Grammys and I didn’t, the f**k? When the f**k I hinted I was going? Just f**kin stupid. I can’t. I needs to protect myself.” She wrote.
Revered clergyman, Enoch Adeboye, has said that God has not told him yet whether an election will be held in Nigeria in 2023.
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, who stated this during a sermon in his church on Sunday, April 3, said God spoke to him about the 2019 elections more than a year to the election but the case has not been so with the 2023 election.
“I have never told you this is the fellow you should vote for. I have never said this is the party you should belong to and I will never say it. Because in the Redeemed Christian Church of God, every party is represented here. APC, PDP, APGA, Labour and other parties that you don’t even know their names.
Listen to me carefully and if you are going to quote me, quote me correctly. I am talking to those of you who are my children. Do you want to know the truth? And nothing but the truth? I am talking of myself now. As of now, as I am standing before you, I still don’t know whether or not there would be an election next year. Don’t say that Pastor Adeboye said there would be no election next year; that’s not what I said. Adeboye does not know yet, put the word ‘yet’.
How come you don’t know? Because my father has not talked to me about it yet. The last time we had an election, He (God) spoke to me about the election by June of the previous year and this is April. So, it is not late but He hasn’t told me yet.” He said.
A good Samaritan has taken major steps to positively change the lives of underaged laborer whom he recently encountered.
The man visited the construction site where they work nd gave money to two boys who work as bricklayers, instructing them them to enroll in school and stop the work.
In a video posted on social media, he handed the sum of N30,000 to one of the boys and instructed him to give it to his parents so that they can put him in school.
The good Samaritan further declared that he would make out time to follow up with a visit to their parents in order to ensure they discontinue the work and resume school.
Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh has continued to drag her former lover, Kpokpogri, and asked him to return her valuables in his possession.
The drama started after Tonto Dikeh shared a video of her ex-lover to describe her current mood. The video left fans speculating that they were back together, but Tonto Dikeh quickly dismissed the claims and referred to Kpokpogri as a “public dog”.
Kpokpogri, who wouldn’t let Tonto’s comment slide, also took to his Instagram page to hit back at her.
In a new Instagram post, the mother of one has cleared Kpokpogri that she’s not on the same level as him. According to her, having had an amorous relationship with him has not reduced her to his level.
She also urged him to return her diamonds and other things the police couldn’t retrieve from him.
“Any where I see you wearing the @hermes slippers I bought you, you are going home bare foot… This is Abuja, contact pass contact. Power pass power, I open leg for you no mean say we be levels!!! In order for you to maintain peace in 2022, return my diamonds and other stuff the Nigerian Police cldnt retrieve from you because I have no proof to claim.. You never see anything”. She wrote.

@martha_ose1 wrote, “I watched this movie yesterday… I almost fainted Na the guy jam the car”.

“Really?? Seriously?? Director, Editor???? Na God go Judge! ”.
A young man identified as Ibrahim Sikiru, has been arrested by operatives of the Ogun police command for allegedly killing his biological father, Mumuni Ibrahim.
The 27-year-old was arrested following a complaint lodged at the Onipanu divisional headquarters by one Abiodun Sunday, identified as a neighbour to the deceased.
The complainant reportedly told the police that the victim, who was a security guard, had returned home in the morning and met his son, sleeping.
According to reports, the deceased asked the son why he was still in bed at that hour of the day. The son was said to have become upset, as he grabbed a machete and attacked his father on different parts of the body.
The image maker of the command, Abimbola Oyeyemi, told journalists on Saturday in Abeokuta that following the report, the police moved to the scene where the suspect was arrested. He said the team equally rushed the victim to a general hospital for treatment but later passed on.
Oyeyemi said the police “strongly suspect” the son to be a cultist, saying he “had no reasonable explanation for his action when interrogated.”

Pastor Sunday Adelaja, the founder of the largest evangelical church in Europe, Embassy of the Blessed Kingdom of God for All Nations, has opined that Putin is fighting for Christian Values and against same sex marriage.
He said that in his bid to avoid being caught up in the war, he had to leave the country with only one shirt.
He also revealed that he lost property worth over $4 million to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Speaking via a Zoom meeting organised by Network of African Christian Journalists, the pastor told people to avoid misrepresenting Putin, saying the man is fighting for traditional values of the Christian faith.
In his words;
“I’m beginning to believe that this Vladimir Putin who everybody is saying is mad and demon-possessed is the same man that is fighting for traditional values of the Christian faith.
“He is saying Christianity and satanism are not equal.
“He is against homosexuals, saying same-sex marriage is wrong.
“What is happening in Ukraine right now is pathetic and very unfortunate.
“Lives are being lost.
“My house, which is worth about $4 million, was burnt.
“I left the country only in one shirt.”
“There is nothing I need from Nigeria Christians but what I want them to realise is that this invasion may escalate and lead to the Third World War whereby Russia will be ready to use nuclear weapons.
“Let us all pray against this.
“It could lead to war that may dictate how the world will be ruled.
“War is destructive, damaging, traumatising.
“I believe that this war is the judgment of God upon Ukraine, the attacker and the attacked, the victim and the aggressor are being judged.
“There is no way one can deny the fact that this is God’s judgment.
Wizkid lost out on the grandest stage in World music last night and as one would expect, it elicited reactions from many Nigerians.
On Micro-blogging website, Twitter, some “Wizkid Haters” were licking their lips as they rejoiced that he didn’t win in any of the category he was nominated in while others felt he was robbed or cheated of the Grammy Award.
However, a surprise take is that from Davido’s Lawyer, Prince. According to Prince, the award belonged to ‘Essence’ because it was a Worldwide Anthem.
His tweet reads;
I don’t know much, and don’t speak much on these things, but we ALL KNOW that award belonged to ‘Essence’. They gave the world an ANTHEM.
I don’t know much, and don’t speak much on these things, but we ALL KNOW that award belonged to ‘Essence’. They gave the world an ANTHEM.
Nigerian rapper, MI Abaga has proposed to the love of his life and they are set to start a new chapter of their lives together very soon.
The rapper took to his Instagram page recently to share clips of his fiancé whose name is Eniola, and narrated how they met. According to his post, they met in Dec of 2020, after they were introduced by Audu Maikori.
They started chatting and their relationship eventually hit things off when they met in person — the rapper bent the knee to propose to her and now, they are planning their wedding.

“Hello. Kindly post as anonymous.
This guy has been my only best friend for over 10years. We were accused of having a relationship but nope there was nothing like that between us. We were real friends.
Last year we met in Uk for a training as we always do, since we are in the same field.
Before the trip, I had issues with my husband that made us cold towards each other.
This time around my best friend and I were extremely close that we started talking about sxx and all that. Like joke we slept together! (A very short time)
Since then I have never been myself. The guy has feelings for me but I always took him as a brother. I feel so dirty, and I regretted sleeping with him.
I have decided to stop the friendship. I cut him off completely. The problem now is my conscience. I want to erase this part from my head. I get mad at myself anytime my mind goes on it. And it’s killing me
