Adding to his points, Don Baba J noted that he had no issue with people spreading rumour on his financial capability.

Ned Nwoko says that Northerners who marry four wives are helping the society and their population

Posted: 03 Apr 2021 08:00 AM PDT

Ned Nwoko, the billionaire husband of actress Regina Daniels, says marrying more than one wife helps save the society.

Nwoko in an interview with BBC Igbo, said the average northerner has at least two wives and this helps the society by preventing women from venturing into prostitution.

In his words

"The average Northerner marrying two, three, four women, they are helping the society because it is the economic downturn that has affected so many women who you see doing prostitution and all that. But the fallacy of it all is that Christianity does not allow that in the South and yet, the average Southern man has 10 girlfriends."

Speaking further, Nwoko said the polygamist nature of northerners has helped to increase their population and made them the majority in the country.

"I love my culture as I know it, not as they are trying to dilute it. Igbo culture is wonderful and should be promoted the way it has always been.

But even looking at that, look at your population in Nigeria and what I will call economy of marriage, as an Igbo man with one wife, four children, a Northerner has four wives with five children each, in the next 10 years, 20 years, imagine the population of the Northerners."

Archbishop Of Canterbury Breaks Silence On Harry And Meghan’s Secret Wedding Claims

Posted: 03 Apr 2021 04:00 AM PDT

The Archbishop of Canterbury has addressed for the first time the remark made by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that he conducted a private wedding for them at a secret ceremony before their Windsor Castle wedding.

Breaking his silence on what the couple told Oprah Winfrey in an interview, Justin Welby said he signed Harry and Meghan's wedding certificate on the day millions watched them marry.

The legal wedding was on Saturday, May 19, 2018 at St George's Chapel, he said.
 
In her interview, Meghan told Oprah Winfrey that she and Harry were married "just the two of us in our backyard with the Archbishop of Canterbury."

Harry chipped in, adding, "Just the three of us."

But the 65-year-old told an Italian newspaper yesterday, March 30: "The legal wedding was on the Saturday."

He was asked "what happened with Meghan and Harry? Did you really marry them three days before the official wedding?"

He said: "The legal wedding was on the Saturday. I signed the wedding certificate, which is a legal document, and I would have committed a serious criminal offence if I signed it knowing it was false.

"So you can make what you like about it. But the legal wedding was on the Saturday. But I won't say what happened at any other meetings."

The Archbishop of Canterbury declined to provide further details on his discussions with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle prior to their nuptials.

"If any of you ever talk to a priest, you expect them to keep that talk confidential. It doesn't matter who I'm talking to." he said

"I had a number of private and pastoral meetings with the duke and duchess before the wedding… But I won't say what happened at any other meetings." He added

Archbishop of Canterbury breaks silence on Harry and Meghan

Harry and Meghan, who have now been completely relieved of their royal duties, backtracked on their private ceremony claim in a statement last week.

It had drawn heavy suspicion, partly because a legal marriage in the UK requires two witnesses.

A spokesman for the couple told US website the Daily Beast: "The couple exchanged personal vows a few days before their official/legal wedding on May 19."

Williams Uchemba – ‘What Banky W Did To Me During My Wedding’

Posted: 03 Apr 2021 03:30 AM PDT

Following his lavish wedding that took place sometime ago, Nollywood actor Williams Uchemba has opened up on some of the roles played by Nigerian singer Banky W during his wedding.

Celebrating the singer as he turns a year older today, Williams Uchemba revealed during his wedding preparation; he was skeptical about asking the singer to be part of his groomsmen because of his busy schedule.

He later decided to reach out to Banky W, and he accepted the request with great honour and supported him financially.

The actor wrote:

"During the planning of my wedding, I had some people in mind I wanted to be part of my groomsmen and @bankywellington was one of them. Inasmuch as I wanted him there, I was a bit doubtful that he might not make it because of how busy he is, but I decided to still reach out.

"I called to ask and he said " Williams, It will be a great honour to be part of your groomsmen". It didn't end there, he also said " Abeg send me your account details make I send something to support you" that was when I knew I was dealing with a real OG".

He continued, "on my wedding day, all the groomsmen were supposed to be at the residence at 8:30 am and @bankywellington was the first person to get there and was apologizing to everyone for being 4mins late.

"He got dressed in no time and helped my brother in-law get ready too whom he'd just met. @bankywellington was 💯 involved in the wedding till the very end".

"I took my time to say all this just to say that @bankywellington is a fine Christian that doesn't only practice what he preaches but is worthy to be emulated. If you are a young person that follows me and you are looking for a role model in the entertainment industry and life in general, someone that doesn't only have results from his work but also has character and integrity, then follow @bankywellington".

"Happy Birthday brother may you live long and prosper in all you do, May God you power with more wisdom and capacity to take care of your queen and prince. And have this in mind, your very best is yet to come. Peace and Love."

Kemi Olunloyo – “Chioma’s Bride Price Has Been Refunded” Journalist Says As Regards Custody Of Davido’s Son

Posted: 03 Apr 2021 03:00 AM PDT

Following, Davido's alleged break up with fiancee, Chioma, US-trained journalist, Kemi Olunloyo has made some claims about  Chioma Rowland's bride price

According to Kemi, Chioma's bride has been refunded, leaving Davido with no right of claiming his son, Ifeanyi, according to Igbo traditions.

This is coming after photos of the DMW Records boss kissing his newly found love, Mya Yafai, leaked online.

A recent post by Kemi Olunloyo alleged that Davido has been handed back the bride price he paid on his fiancee, which automatically makes his son, Ifeanyi Jr, the last born of Chioma's family according to the Igbo tradition of a child born out of wedlock.

Taking to Instagram Kemi Olunloyo wrote;

"Chioma's bride price has been refunded. You can now stop fasting and praying for David."

If Kemi Olunloyo's claim is true, it is the end of the road for Davido and Chioma's relationship for good; except the duo figures out a way to reach a compromise and probably crown it with a marriage.

She said she is aware it is hard for people nursing suicidal thoughts to open up about whatever they are going through while clarifying that talking about it is a starting point to finding a solution to their challenges.

Advising the society at large, Halima Abubakar's post stipulates the need to accept suicide as real illness instead of dismissing it as sadness or just a phase.

David told the publication that he's disappointed she "continues to make fabricated accusations about our relationship and has now created a false narrative of an affair that never occurred."

"Jeannie and Jay were set for a trip to Vietnam this April. What Jeannie didn't know is that Jay was planning to propose," her camp told People, noting Jeezy surprised Mai with a quarantine date night in his home filled with Vietnamese food and decor."

Mai had to quit Dancing With the Stars last fall amid medical challenges that led her to undergo emergency surgery on her throat. She was hospitalized with a condition called epiglottitis.
