Nigerian writer, Solomon Buchi has appealed to controversial singer, Speed Darlington, to stop sexualizing and objectifying women.
Solomon made this appeal while celebrating the singer who turned a new age on Sunday, March 13.
Taking to Facebook, the writer and social media commentator advised him to focus on his musical career or try becoming a comic actor instead of talking about women like they are sex toys.
He wrote,
“𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗼𝗻, as you get older today, please stop objectifying and sexualizing women. You are effortlessly funny and your music is wonderful, but you speak about women with vehement misogyny. You bragged about sleeping with a married woman and it is reprehensible. Today, being your birthday, I wish you great things, but most importantly, that you stop speaking about women like sex toys. It’ll be better to focus on your music or maybe try comedy because you’re a funny guy. Daalu rinne.”

Speaking in an interview with DailySun, the plus-sized model said if she eventually decides to get married, she would love to marry an older man.
She also disclosed that she doesn’t intend to bear children of her own and plans to go through the adoption route.
She said,
“Everyone knows that I have always liked older men. I use to be ashamed to say it but now, I can say it with my full chest. I love dating older men. And yes, men in their 60s and above. And if I ever consider marriage, I’ll end up with men in that age bracket.
I just want to be with someone and we enjoy life together. He doesn’t have to put a ring on it to prove his love. Marriage is overrated. I also don’t want to have kids; I want to adopt kids. A lot of kids are out there who don’t have homes. I want to give them homes and let them know how it feels to have mums and families.”

A Nigerian lady has taken to social media to share what became of a woman who blocked her after she mistakenly transferred N500k to her instead of N50k.
According to the lady, in 2017, she sent money to the woman who was pregnant at the time and was in dire need of financial assistance, out of kindness.
She said she accidentally sent N500k instead of N50k to her, but the pregnant woman blocked her and absconded with the balance of N450k instead of refunding it.
The lady, whose identity wasn’t disclosed, said a week ago – five years after the incident – the said woman contacted her to beg for forgiveness following claims that she placed a curse on her.
According to her, the woman said her two children are dead and she has also been battling a life-threatening illness since she disappeared with her money.

A Twitter user @GodsFirstChild1 wrote, “You get mind wear leg chain go interview wey others dey compete get.”
@QDorcas, “I wear a leg chain and I work for a consulting firm in Accounting and finance and they are strict with how your appear before clients. They could have just told her it’s not acceptable”.
@1stWorldwarlord, “Why do you wear the chain? What is the reason, because leg chains have meaning and there’re messages behind wearing it.”
@benzero2hot, “Was she wearing the leg chain when she came out of her mother’s womb? Did she die when she was young and not wearing it? Be there supporting what you don’t know. Leg chain is a symbol. I don’t know the symbol but I know it symbolizes something.”
@beebsonatata, “Why is it ok to wear a chain on your neck but it’s not ok to wear it on your leg?”
A Kenyan man identified as David Wanyonyi Simiyu, has been declared wanted by the police after allegedly stealing two video cameras and their accessories from a church.
Simiyu reportedly gave his life to Christ at Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) Zimmerman Parish on Sunday, March 6, and made away with the cameras while the congregation were praying on that same day.
A statement released by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), on Saturday March 12, disclosed that he sold the cameras to some dishonest dealers.
“Two video cameras and their accessories that were stolen from a city-based Church last Sunday as the service was ongoing, have been recovered by detectives,” the statement read.
“The two professional cameras worth close to Sh1Million disappeared from the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) Zimmerman Parish, as the faithful were deep in prayers.
“It is not until the service was over that the church orderlies noticed the cameras were missing, much to the consternation of the congregants and the clergy.
“The Church leadership notified our detectives and sleuths from the Crime Research and Intelligence Bureau, immediately took up the matter. It didn’t take long for the revered crime busters to unmask the author of the crime.” the statement reads.
Following intensive investigation and forensic analysis, the police traced it to the unscrupulous dealers Simiyu sold them to at Nairobi’s Imenti business hub and recovered it.
The dealers, Joshua Mulei, Douglas Karanja and Stephen Thuo, were arrested after it was discovered that they deal in stolen items. However, Simiyu is still on the run.
It was gathered that the church leadership has pardoned the suspect in accordance with the scriptures and have pledged to welcome him back ‘home’ like the prodigal son.
A late woman’s husband’s family has reportedly refused to bury her unless her family comes to apologize for her “behavior” before her death.
According to a Twitter user who shared the shocking story on Twitter, the woman had a brain tumor and the doctor had advised her against getting pregnant again. However, her husband insisted on another child despite knowing it could be dangerous for her health.
Because her husband desired another child, she gave in to his demands and conceived.
The pregnancy made her health worse, and since her husband wouldn’t take care of her, she moved back to her parents’ house.
While at her parent’s home, her husband reportedly sent her things back to her family, saying her wife disrespected him by leaving without permission.
He, however, didn’t send her medical reports, which were needed to continue her treatment.
The woman has now died, and the husband’s family has refused to bury her unless the late woman’s family comes to them to apologize for their daughter’s “actions” before her demise.
