Daddy Freeze – “It’s partnership, yet the man pays bills alone” OAP reacts to Actress Mary Njoku’s post on marriage

Posted: 20 Apr 2021 10:30 PM PDT

On-air personality, Daddy Freeze has reacted to the posit of actress, Mary Njoku as regards partnership and team play in marriage.

In an earlier report, Mary Njoku had asserted that men should realize that they are not doing their wives a favour when they pay bills at home because marriage is meant to be driven by the partnership spirit.

In response to this, Daddy Freeze has expressed how difficult it is for him to understand such a statement, as he questioned why one person will pay the bills in an acclaimed partnership venture.

Reacting to the post, he wrote:

"I'm struggling to understand this.
Two people are working, but only one is paying the bills and it's supposed to be a partnership? 

The banality of this in my opinion, suggests a concoction of contradictions, conveying a message which on the one hand recommends partnership, but then on the other, advocates for African men, whilst at the same time seemingly ignoring the benefits of a patriarchal society.

Traditional African men don't 'partner' with their wives, they pay bills and consequently own women, who in return serve them, while tolerating polygamy and concubinage.

Modernization propounds a social scheme denouncing some of the 'benefits' of a patricentric system, in favor of a balance in gender roles and privileges.

I find it inequitable to select only the aspects of both constructs that benefit only a particular gender, increasing the responsibilities of the other while depriving them of their dividends.

'Sharing' instead of 'paying' the bills, would have been more appropriate in my opinion.

Poloo was sentenced to three months in prison on Friday for posting nude pictures online.

Cardi B said she has seen a lot of such photos on social media and sees nothing wrong with Poloo's action.

"I have seen a lot of Americans do photoshoots like that," she tweeted.

DJ Cuppy exposes celebrities and their lies about having glamorous lives

Posted: 20 Apr 2021 05:00 AM PDT

Disc jockey and singer, Florence Otedola, better known as DJ Cuppy, has said that some celebrities tell lies about how glamorous and smooth their lives are.

The 28-year-old daughter of billionaire businessman, Femi Otedola, also maintained that she lives her life unapologetically.

In a series of video clips on her Instagram page, she said, "A lot of celebrities tell lies about how glamorous and smooth things always seem to be (for them). A lot of things happened in my personal life and career recently, and the truth is that the same people who praise me would be the same ones that would attempt to put one down. I could literally win a Grammy Award and some people would still think I am not good enough. That is why I do things that make me feel good and happy.

"I am also making impact and helping people. The reason I do what I do is because I genuinely love it, with or without the limelight. If I want to sing about ice cream, release an album, grow fat or thin, or get married, I would do just that because it is up to me. Whatever I want to do, I do it unapologetically. Life is not about the best; it is about how one feels. A lot of people are very miserable behind closed doors. When I check (social media pages) of some people that make bad comments, (I realise that) they are going through some issues. People put their problems on other people and I think celebrities and influencers are easy targets. They forget they (celebs) are humans as well. So, don't live your life for other people's acceptance. They may not even accept you at the end of the day."

Rapper Sodiq Abubakar Yusuf, better known as CDQ, has released an official statement after he was arrested by NDLEA officials for allegedly being possession of Cannabis.
