Posted: 20 Jun 2020 11:00 PM PDT

Nollywood actress, Lilian Afegbai, has taken to social media to advice women on what to do that would earn them more respect from men.

Matters of love and relationship are always hot topics on social media as a number of people have been known to give relationship advice. Many relationships today are facing issues and people who are not in one seem to have a clearer view on what to do to make things better.

In Nigeria for instance, it is believed that many ladies depend on men to take care of themselves. It is also believed that several of these ladies do not reciprocate this show of affection.

The film star said that ladies should build empires with their men because it is more respectful for them to do so.


She also said that ladies should stop waiting on men to do everything for them and that they should ask their mothers if they are in doubt.

In her words: "Build an empire with him, then you get more respect…. Stop waiting for a man to do everything for you, Ask your mama."

The man of God also said he is disappointed at some church leaders who have advised government to seal churches and "persecute" defaulters.

Speaking further, he also frowned at how church leaders recommended that Holy Communion be suspended in churches.

"If you are afraid of a virus you have no gospel."

"We have to pray for these ministers who are afraid of this virus."

According to him, he had gone shopping for furniture when he bumped into the teenager at the shop. After some conversations with him, Uchemba says he made up his mind to assist the smart young man.


"A few days ago I went to a furniture store to make some furniture for my ongoing projects and when they took me to the workshop, I saw this young man Demola who was one of the carpenters but as an apprentice," he wrote.

"I asked him some questions and realized that he is a very smart young boy, so I invited him to my house to know more about him. He is 18 years of age, has finished secondary school (with good grades), and would love to study Economics in the University but can't further his education because he doesn't have a sponsor to put him through school."

Singer, Seyi Shay says it is tacky to show off wealth on social media

Posted: 20 Jun 2020 04:00 AM PDT

Nigerian music star, Seyi Shay says the idea of showing off one's wealth on social media is a very tacky move.

The music star says she's too classy to show off her wealth on social media.

In a video that surfaced online, the music star said even though she has been asked by several people why she doesn't show off her wealth, the reason is that she is too classy to want to reveal any details about her lifestyle.

"Some people say to me Seyi you are doing well you probably have loads of many but we can't see it and my answer is, don't be so shallow I'm not loud, proud type of person," she said.

"I live well, I live good. I'm a businesswoman but I'm not just loud about all these things because I think it's tacky and I'm classy."


It is not clear if Seyi Shay's latest video is meant to drag or shade other celebrities who have become famous for showing off their flamboyant lifestyle.

The last time the music star made the headlines was back in May when she was involved in a messy Instagram hacked account drama.

The music star had raised an alarm on Thursday, May 21, 2020, about not approving the release of the three semi-nude photos on her Instagram page.

According to her, the account was compromised.

The account was later deactivated and activated again.

BBNaija Pepper Dem Reunion Day 11: Burning ships that put friendships to test

Posted: 20 Jun 2020 03:00 AM PDT

Episode 11 of the ongoing Big Brother Naija Pepper Dem Reunion show was rightly titled 'confrontations and fights' for how much it successfully rustled feathers.

Catch the highlights of the latest episode of Big Brother Naija Pepper Dem Reunion Show.

For viewers, it was an opportunity to see if a possible burial of the hatchet could play out between former housemates Seyi and Tacha but things took a more dramatic turn. Catch the highlights.

The 'Seyi/Tacha' ship has long set sail
In hopes that there could be a resolution between Seyi and Tacha, show host, Ebuka played clips from one of their calms before the storm. Seyi stated that his problem with Tacha was quite deep-seated.

For him, Tacha's tendency to have things go her way and not show respect for their friendship caused their major rift. Tacha seemed to have another angle as she recalled the one time Seyi slum-shamed her during one of their notorious moments. For her, that was crossing the line. Their showdown ended with neither of the parties giving room for mending fences.

Isiloma and Avala
The former best friends had the spotlight to talk about what forced their ship to set sail and the exchange was confusing at best. On Avala's side of the ship, Isiloma was not as loyal as she first set out to be. Isiloma on the other hand felt she had apologized for the issue that remains 'none of anybody's business' and how Avala may be content hunting with the issue.

Avala also hinted in the course of their argument that the popular fight between Isiloma and Ella had something to do with the former taking her side. However, the pressing issue involved alcohol and men. The duo ended their exchange without any form of resolution.

Obinwanne Okeke ‘Invictus Obi’ pleads guilty to fraud in US

Posted: 20 Jun 2020 02:00 AM PDT

One of Nigeria's most celebrated young entrepreneur, Obinwanne Okeke has pleaded guilty of $11 million (N4.2 billion) computer-based fraud between 2015 and 2019.

Obinwanne Okeke also known as 'Invictus Obi' holds a Forbes Africa 30 Under 30 honoree made the plea on Thursday at the Norfolk Magistrate Court Room 2 of the United States District Court for Eastern District of Virginia.

He had earlier pleaded not guilty. Okeke, arrested in the United States August 2019, in a court ruling on Thursday pleaded guilty of the $11 million (N4.2 billion) computer-based fraud between 2015 and 2019.

According to TheGuardian, The judge, Robert Krask, on Thursday certified the guilty plea to clear the paths for Okeke's sentencing and could be sentenced to 20 years in an American jail, PremiumTimes reported.

The next hearing for the case has been fixed to October 22, 2020.

United States' Federal Bureau of Investigation said Okeke and at least six other persons were involved in the crimes.

"There is a probable cause to believe Okeke has conspired with several individuals to access computers without authorisation, and using such access to cause the fraudulent wire transfer of funds," FBI's special agent Marshall Ward said in an affidavit he deposed to before Justice Lawrence Leonard, in Norfolk, Virginia, on August 2.

The affidavit also sought a warrant to arrest Okeke who was in the United States at the time.

In his affidavit, Special Agent Ward said illicit financial transactions were traced to a Gmail account believed to be owned by Okeke. Those transactions, he said, and conspiratorial communications with, at least six other emails, were carried out between 2016 and 2019.

Okeke, the founder of Invictus Group, has a degree in International Studies and Forensic Criminology and Masters of International Relations and Counter-Terrorism Studies from Monash University in Australia, according to his official profile.

Okeke was named on the Forbes Africa's 30 Under 30 For 2016 and was featured on the magazine's June 2016 cover. A year later, CNBCA named Okeke as a finalist for Young Business Leader of the Year (West Africa).

He was featured regularly in Nigerian and international media. Okeke also earned high praises from Nigerian politicians.

His Invictus Group claims to have investments in oil and gas, construction, energy solutions, technology and agriculture.
