Stella Damasus and husband no longer following each other on IG as rumours swell over marriage collapse

Posted: 08 Sep 2020 08:00 AM PDT

There are reports that Nollywood movie star, Stella Damasus, and her husband Daniel Ademinokan have gone their separate ways.

Damasus still has some of Ademinokan's photos on her Instagram page even though they have unfollowed each other.

According to the reports, the movie star and her husband weren't able to resolve their differences, hence his decision to move out of their matrimonial home.

The couple already unfollowed each other on Instagram, a trend common among celebrity couples especially when they are going through a breakup or marital crisis.

However, the actress is yet to delete his photos from her Instagram page.

Their marriage/partnership


Damasus and Ademinokan started dating back in 2011. They, however, kept their relationship and marriage private until 2014.

The couple co-own a production outfit, Two Studios, which is the brain behind her 2015 movie 'Between' that also doubles as their first movie in the United States of America.

Damasus' previous marriages


Ademinokan is not Damasus' first husband as she has been married three times. She got married to Jaiye Aboderin in 1999. Sadly, he passed away in 2004.

In 2007, Damasus remarried, this time, to Emeka Nzeribe. Now, this was one of the shortest celebrity marriages ever as it only lasted for 7 months. The reason behind the end of Damasus' union to Nzeribe is not known till date.

The Doris Simeon connection

Ademinokan was once married to Nollywood actress, Doris Simeon. It is reported that they both met on set from where they started a relationship. Their marriage didn't last long as they were involved in one of the messiest celebrity divorce scandals.

In 2013, Ademinokan revealed that Simeon was a pathological liar, serial adulteress, and was only playing on people's psyche to get their sympathy.



When the news of Damasus and Ademinokan began to trend a few years ago, it didn't go down well with Simeon. In an interview with Thisday back in 2016, Damasus debunked the rumours that she was a husband snatcher.

Posted: 08 Sep 2020 01:21 PM PDT

Founder and senior pastor of Salvation Ministries, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, has gone hard on controversial OAP, Daddy Freeze, for always "insulting his father", Bishop David Oyedepo.

Daddy Freeze has always taken to his social media handles to tackle and counter most of the things said or written by Bishop Oyedepo.

Preaching in his church recently, Ibeyiome verbally attacked Freeze, placing a curse on the day the OAP was born and calling him a "bast*rd" for insulting Oyedepo who he said is his father.

According to Ibiyeomie, Freeze is not a Nigerian but a Somalian who was born inside a ship.

"Insult me I wouldn't talk but insulting Oyedepo…..that Bast*rd! Tell him, any day I hear him talk about Oyedepo….do they know his father? Does Daddy Freeze have a father? That half caste who is a Somalian. The day I hear him talk about Oyedepo again, I will deal with him.


Oyedepo may not talk but I can't be alive and you insult my father.

Who gave birth to him? If he has a father, let him show us his father's picture. Somebody that they gave birth to in the ship. Does he look like a Nigerian? That's a Somalian.

Oyedepo may not talk but I can't be alive while you insult my father. I curse the day he was born. I can't be alive and you insult my father. I will tear you into pieces, you Bast*rd!

People who have fathers don't insult fathers. He is insulting him because he has no father. You can never insult a father if you have a father. He has no father.

Tell him o. Tell him. This is the last time he talks about Oyedepo again. He is a bast*rd. Does he have a father? Who is his father? Let him show his father if he has a father?"

Ibiyeomie further stated that he will get Daddy freeze arrested soon.

Posted: 08 Sep 2020 03:42 PM PDT

Controversial former Presidential aide, Reno Omokri is one of the people who had something to say about the GoFundMe page raised for disqualified BBNaija Lockdown housemate Erica Nlewedim.

The lawyer took to his Twitter page to air his thoughts about the money that is being raised for the housemate as he compared it to the attitude of Nigerian youth to the situation of Nigeria.

According to Omokri, it took just five hours for some youths to raise N5m for Erica but they couldn't raise the same money to in five months to unseat President Muhammadu Buhari in the 2019 elections.

Noting that Nigerian youths deserve the current president, the lawyer stated that they were not able to resist the increase of fuel and electricity costs.

According to him, youths are always looking for people to act on their behalf when it comes to important issues but act for themselves when it comes to irrelevancies.

Read His Statement Below;

"In 5 hours, Nigerians raised $15,000 for #BBNaija's Erica. In 5 days, the same Nigerians have not been able to raise any resistance to General Buhari's increase of fuel and electricity costs. If you talk, some Nigerians will say come and lead the protest. Who led them to raise a record breaking $15,000 in 5 hours? We can act spontaneously for irrelevancies, but we are looking for others to act for us on relevant things! Nigeria deserves General Buhari!"
