"After 3 yrs of trying and then finally being told we couldn't conceive your mum came home crying. I held her close and let her cry then when she was done I tilted up her face, looked her straight in the eyes and told her "That's not what God told me! We will have our own children!".

On this day, 10th July, 4 years ago I woke up to the cry of a child my heart swelled with love and pride… and I understood for the first time the hearts of both my heavenly and earthly fathers towards me! Happy 4th Birthday Demide… I'm super proud to call you son. Luv, DeyemiTheDaddy ♥️♥️♥️ p.s. @damilolaokanlawon see how I fulfilled my promise of giving you beautiful sons 😁"

Ned Nwoko – “I Married Regina Daniels And My Other Wives As Virgins”

Posted: 12 Jul 2020 10:00 PM PDT

Billionaire Politician, Ned Nwoko has disclosed that he married all his wives including popular actress Regina Daniels as virgins.

In a recent interview, the politician said Regina is a very decent girl and he got more attracted to her when he found out she was a virgin.

You got married to a popular actress, Regina Daniels. Why her?

Why not Regina? When I met her, I didn't even know who she was because I don't watch movies, whether British, Nigerian or American.

Also, I am not a social media person . Up until that time, I didn't have Facebook or Instagram accounts. So, I didn't know about Regina until she came to my house with her family on a tour.

My house in the village (Aniocha North Local Government Area, Delta State) is a tourist attraction of sorts.

I liked her when I saw her, especially when I found out that she was from that place. I had always wanted to have somebody (a wife) from my side . We were introduced to each other and one thing led to another.

That was when I found out she is a very decent girl. I have always said that I wouldn't marry anybody who isn't a virgin and that is very important to me.

When I found out that she was a virgin, it reinforced my decision to marry her. I married all my wives as virgins.


There were reports that her father opposed your marriage to her. Is that true?

When I met her, I didn't meet her father and she never spoke about him. I was made to understand that she and her mother had been estranged from him since she (Regina) was six years old.

However, I have always tried to make her understand that at some point, she should try to reach out to her father. I will also try to do that and I'm hopeful that we would succeed in no time.

Some people are scared of marrying actresses because they feel they are in the public eye. What convinced you to take that decision?

At her age and with her popularity, she was very decent and she is still the same. She is a homely person that loves being with her family life and she is not the party type.

Jada Pinkett Smith admits she had a relationship with August Alsina

Posted: 12 Jul 2020 09:00 AM PDT

Jada Pinkett Smith says she indeed had a relationship with music star, August Alsina.

The actress says the relationship with Alsina happened during the period her marriage to Will Smith was in crisis.

Pinkett sat down with her husband, Will Smith for the latest episode of her show 'Red Table Talk' where she talked about the relationship with Alsina.

"I guess about four and a half years ago I started a friendship with August. We became really really good friends and it all started with him needing some help and me wanting to help his health and mental state," she said.


Pinkett's husband tips in saying the first time the family had an encounter with Alsina was when he was sick and how the family helped him pull through.

Pinkett goes on to reveal the time their marriage was going through tough times and how she got entangled with Alsina in a romantic relationship.


"From there you and I were going through difficult times. I think from there as time went on I got into a different entanglement with August," she said.

"One thing I want to clear up is about you giving permission and the only person who could give permission at that time is myself."

"But what August was probably trying to communicate because I can see how he would perceive it, because we were separated amicably and I think he wanted to make it clear that he is not home wrecker which he is not."

Pinkett's statement is coming less than two weeks after Alsina revealed that he had a romantic relationship with her.

Alsina says he met Jada in 2015 after he was introduced to her by her son, Jaden, and the two became close when he vacationed with the family in Hawaii in 2016.

He went on to reveal that he fell in love with her immediately they met.

Banky W: Nigeria must raise the age of marriage to 18

Posted: 12 Jul 2020 04:30 AM PDT

Some Nigerians try to hide behind religion as the reason why they should be allowed to marry children. But if Saudi Arabia – the kingdom, the headquarters i.e Mecca, can raise the age of marriage to 18 (because it's the right thing to do) then Nigeria has no excuse.

Hushpuppi’s Lawyer: FBI kidnapped my client from Dubai

Posted: 12 Jul 2020 04:00 AM PDT

Hushpuppi's lawyer, Gal Pissetzky, has accused the FBI of kidnapping his client in Dubai and taken him to the U.S.

In a chat with BBC, the lawyer said United Arab Emirates has no extradition treaty with the United States.

According to him, Hushpuppi, who posts on Instagram about his extravagant lifestyle, was not a criminal and had made his money legitimately.

"He is a social media influencer with millions of followers, with millions of people that respect and loved him, and he loved them, and that's what he did. In today's society, that's a business," he said.

Pissetzky told BBC that: "In my opinion, the FBI and the government here acted illegally when they kidnapped him from Dubai without any legal process to do so.

There was no extradition, there were no legal steps taken, there were no court documents filed, it was simply a call to the FBI. He is not a citizen of the United States, the US had absolutely no authority to take him.

If Dubai wanted to expel him, they should have expelled him back to Nigeria. I've never heard of anything like that. That is the real story here."

Police PRO Mba – No One Should Weep For Hushpuppi, There Are Many Hushpuppis Still Around

Posted: 12 Jul 2020 12:30 AM PDT

The Public Relations Officer, Nigeria Police Force, DCP Frank Mba, says there are many "baby and bigger" criminals around who operate like alleged international internet fraudster, Ramon Abbas, aka Hushpuppi.

He said no one should weep for Hushpuppi while advising parents to query any suspicious show of wealth by their wards.

He also warned traditional rulers to desist from the act of giving titles to young men and women with questionable sources of income.

37-year-old Abbas was arrested last month in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, by the Dubai Police and later handed over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States.

The Force spokesperson, who spoke Thursday on a radio programme, 'Real Talk With Kike', said Hushpuppi is just one of the many cyber crooks and cyber rogues out there.

Speaking about the arrest of Abbas in June, Mba said, "The feat by the Dubai Police was not achieved by them alone but an international collaboration that ran across multiple security agencies with Interpol playing a very big role, FBI playing a big role and of course, the Dubai Police taking the lead because they as the national police, policing the country where Hushpuppi was based and where most of his activities emanated from."

Asked by the host, Kikelomo Atanda-Owo, whether the NPF has the capacity to arrest criminals of Hushpuppi's category, he said "time will tell" but pointed out that a lot of progress was being made by the Interpol unit located at the Force Headquarters in Abuja manned by Police operatives.

Hushpuppi, said to have duped about 1,926,400 victims, is facing charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering, among others in the US.

His lawyer, Gal Pissetzky of Pissetzky & Berliner, said he is planning a "vigorous defence" to free him when the US court handling the matter resume hearing on Monday.

Mba added, "Hushpuppi will enjoy the privileges of being tried in a free world and in a liberal democracy. I also have no doubt about his capacity to pay for the best of lawyers. He's a billionaire crook. He should have the capacity to pay.
