A Nigerian twitter user has explained why Nigerian singer, Oxlade isn’t being dragged on the Nigerian social space after his sex videos leaked.
On Tuesday, February 8, a video of the ‘Ojuju crooner’ vigorously making love with an unidentified lady surfaced online.
However, when one would have thought the singer would be heavily criticized, Nigerians are hailing his skills.
Recall that a couple of male students of the University of Lagos were captured on camera chanting the name of the singer as though he is a hero of some sort.
With so much energy and passion, a bunch of male hostelites, some of them shirtless, were seen jumping, cheering and chanting the singer’s name obviously after having a look at the singer’s leaked bedmatic session.
Reacting to people’s reaction to the scandal, model, Morey Faith, stated that the hypocrisy and double standards of Nigerians are alarming.
According to her, Tiwa Savage was dragged to filth over a similar scandal months ago, while the same people who dragged the female singer are now applauding Oxlade.
Well, a Twitter user identified as @drpenking averred that Tiwa was dragged because people expected more from her as mother.
He stressed the fact that Oxlade is a 24-year-old wild boy while Tiwa is a 42-year-old mother.
“Nigerians are comparing people’s reactions to Tiwa Savage’s s@x tape and reactions to Oxlade ‘s. The fact is, Oxlade is still a 24 year old, wild BOY who smokes weed. Tiwa savage is a 42 year old MOTHER . People expected her to do better because of that singular status if not for anything for the mental health of her son in the next few years.
S@x tape on it’s own is no crime. People have different sexual fantasies and as long as it doesn’t break any laws, you are home and dry. However you have to always factor in the persons you have in your life. And how your actions will affect their mental health . STOP CONVERTING EVERYTHING TO GENDER WAR. ARE Y’ALL NOT TIRED?” He wrote.

Sharing the video, the 37-year-old wrote,
“Pls let’s leave this behavior in the past. Why will you on your camera, go live, press record and start crying 😭 😂😂😂😂😂
Not trying to be mean but it is a cry for attention. Do you not have real friends? If you are crying why do you record it? 🙄”

A Nigerian woman has shared the tragic circumstances of how she lost her baby to the cold hands of death three hours after he was delivered.
Taking to her Instagram page in a lengthy post, Udy narrated how she and her husband anticipated the arrival of their bundle of joy, whom they called “the restoration baby.”
According to her, they called him “restoration baby” because his miraculous conception restored their marriage, which had been “dead” for four years and looked beyond repair.
Sadly, only 3 hours after he was born, he gave up the ghost.
Read the full story as shared by Udy below,
WE CALLED HIM OUR RESTORATION BABY
Exactly 365 days ago, the kicks became recurrent, and the water broke just within the EDD window. Hubby had to toss his laptop aside, and we headed to the hospital ASAP. On arrival, we did some funny videos as we faffed around, while waiting for our COVID test results. Few minutes later, we were admitted and the courteous medical staff doctors did the needful till it was time to push. I held unto my mantle, as Hubby kept whispering soothing words, and before long he came forth, as his cry brought tears of joy. Hubby’s excitement knew no bounds, as we both reflected on how our marriage was dead for 4 years, and looked beyond repair.
Just after God restored our marriage, the miraculous conception happened, so we called him our Restoration baby. While waiting for him to be cleaned up, hubby ran in apprehensively and his stutters meant that the baby wasn’t breathing properly.
How? What happened? I jolted out, and headed to the NICU.
Bemused, we watched him fight for life, as the oxygen cylinder became his air source, and the team of doctors ran frantically to prevent our greatest fear. Just about 3 hours later, he drew his last breath, and it felt like our world had come crumbling. I saw my husband fall to the floor, broken, and in tears that flowed ceaselessly.
I trusted God so much that seeing my baby slip through the veil was nowhere in the picture. Next morning, I took my baby’s body to Church, convinced that it was just a dream I needed to wake up from. I returned back to the hospital in VI, and that was when it dawned on me that Samuel was no more!
“What will I tell his brother and sister, when I get home?”….as the thoughts became endless.

The global Forex broker OctaFX allied with ‘Duke of Spades’, and together they have decided to help disadvantaged children in Nigeria. Although they formed their incentive in 2021, they are determined to promote literacy in multiple regions in 2022.
Charity season is practically all year round.
Under this motto, the international Forex broker OctaFX reached out to the Nigerian organisation ‘Duke of Spades’, supplying schools with IT equipment, thereby providing disadvantaged children aged 10 to 14 with much needed new learning opportunities.
There is a specific reason why the fintech company supports the ‘Duke of Spades’ foundation. It’s a non-profit organisation focusing on less privileged children and youth born and living with HIV. Therefore, by partnering with ‘Duke of Spades’, OctaFX had a consistent goal: to empower these disadvantaged students who could not access basic materials for formal learning.
This corresponds with OctaFX’s long-term approach to supporting local communities—providing the necessary infrastructure for improvement. On this occasion, the company managed to donate 20 desktop computers and several scanners and printers. The beneficiary was Kuramo College in Lagos. The institution was founded in 1980 and has 300 students under its roof today.
In the case of Kuramo College, poor reading skills was the specific challenge to tackle. And ‘Duke of Spades’ suggested that this problem could be solved by strengthening the field of computer science.
Richard Nnadi is the man behind the ‘Duke of Spades’ foundation. A graduate of the University of Lagos, studying cell biology and genetics, he became a versatile businessman who eventually became the CEO of DV records.
On his latest humanitarian collaboration with OctaFX, Nnadi said, ‘the greatest gift a child can receive is premium quality education. And for that, I’m on a constant lookout for reliable and trustworthy business partners to make these charity projects in Nigeria blossom. OctaFX did deliver. More than I expected’.
The regional OctaFX representative further added, ‘it pleases us to engage in meaningful and genuine projects that really deliver the help that is being promised. Especially endeavours that improve the lives of the most vulnerable members of society. Children. Their education is key’.
The recently delivered IT equipment will help students become familiar with the Internet and the necessary software to develop their spelling, writing, and reading skills. It also will provide a much more effective infrastructure for assessing the progress of the students’ improvement.

The video footage that shows the moment a Rev. Fr. James Anelu, who is the Parish Priest of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Ewu-Owa Gberigbe in Ikorodu, Lagos, who banned Igbo songs in his parish, has been shared online.
Father Anelu got suspended by the Catholic Archbishop of Lagos for banning Igbo songs in his parish — his suspension took effect from Tuesday, February 8, 2022.
A video shows church members revolting shortly after Fr. Anelu announced the ban which led to a tantrum in the church. The priest however stood his ground and threatened members with the “wrath of God“.
Anelu told them that if he goes to Ekwulobia and starts speaking Yoruba, the people will stone him. He went on to narrate an incident where he went for burial Mass in the South East and was initially denied a chance to say Mass because he can not speak Igbo.
He also asked why Igbos will be singing Igbo songs in a church in Lagos and questioned if the plan is to drive other tribes away from the church.

A 40-year-old air passenger has been arrested for allegedly raping a woman in business class.
It was gathered that the British passenger reportedly forced the woman to have sex while others slept on the flight from Newark, New Jersey, to London.
His alleged victim complained to United Airlines cabin staff during the flight and they called ahead to report the allegations to police.
Met officers boarded the jet at Heathrow Terminal 2 at 6.30am on Monday, Jan 31.
The suspect was arrested on suspicion of rape and led off the plane.
He was then taken into custody at Heathrow police station, where his dabs, mugshot and a DNA saliva sample were taken.
Officers carried out a full forensic search of the luxury cabin. The man was later released under investigation pending further inquiries.
The Sun reports that his alleged victim who is also a 40-year-old British, was taken to a rape counselling suite and interviewed by specialist officers.
A Met Police spokesman confirmed the arrest and investigation. He disclosed that the pair were in separate rows in business class, but had earlier been chatting and drinking with each other in a lounge area.
A source told the publication;
“The woman said she was raped by the passenger during the flight while others were asleep. She was distraught and reported it to cabin staff who radioed ahead to police, who were waiting as the plane came in to land. The parties were apparently unknown to each other beforehand but had apparently been seen talking to each other and drinking before and during the flight.
She alleged that he then raped her and was said to have been very distressed. Police took it very seriously and forensic officers carried out a thorough examination of the area of the plane where it was said to have happened. Officers went on board the plane and detained the man before taking him away.”
