Posted: 17 Jan 2022 08:00 AM PST

A man has shared sad story of how his wife faked her death and made him spend ten years in prison.

According to him, he was sentenced to ten years in prison after his wife allegedly slumped during a fight they had in their living room.

Sadly, after spending 10 years in jail, he came out to hear that his wife was alive and living with another man in the same city, Lagos.

Read his story below:

"In 2009, I was arrested and detained for killing my wife after she slumped and died when I pushed her to the floor during a subtle clash we had in our living room after I some immoral chats she had with her university boyfriend back then in school.

I escaped death by hanging as I was sentenced to 10 years in prison by a court in Abuja. Every second in the cell, I cried woefully and regretted my actions.

Few weeks ago, I was set free after serving my time in jail and I went to lodge with some of my friends in Ikoyi who told me about the rumour that was spreading that my dead wife is alive and living with another man in this same Lagos.

I couldn't believe it until I and my friends did some investigations then we traced her to Ipaja Lagos where I saw my allegedly dead wife happy and smiling with another man in a moving car entering a compound."

Recall that the billionaire businessman had shared his sad ordeal with the NDLEA on Saturday, noting that he spent four days and three nights in the anti-drug agency's custody following an allegation linking him to narcotics.

On Saturday, while speaking on the recent encounter, Cubana stated that he felt so low to be linked with the illegal narcotics business.

He added: "I was in detention for four days and three nights. I didn't feel bad because I knew the agency would do a thorough job and if I am cleared, I'd be let go.

"There was no witch-hunting, nobody was after me. But to link me to drugs? I've never felt so low. To me, it's repulsive.

"This is something that my children could be victims of."

Femi Branch – Bobrisky Made Such Statement About A Yoruba Oba, Would People Have Talked?

Posted: 17 Jan 2022 01:00 AM PST

Nollywood actor, Femi Branch, has taken to social media to react to last weekend's spat which controversial crossdresser, Bobrisky had with Edo state indigenes.

Recall that Bobrisky was in the state to attend an event and he took to Snapchat to express how happy he was to be there. In his excitement, he asked the Oba of Benin to come and marry him. This statement got Edo state indigenes angry and they came out in their numbers to condemn him for making such remarks about their revered monarch and also threatened to deal with him if he is seen at the event he came for.

With the several threats received, Bobrisky was visibly absent from the event he was to attend. He also tendered a public apology for his comment.

In an Instagram live session, Femi Branch said the indigenes of Edo state came out to condemn Bobrisky's comment because they revere their king. Wondering if the same reaction could occur if Bobrisky asked a Yoruba monarch to marry him, the actor said:

"A lot of people meet me and say, 'I don't really watch Nigerian movies but I watch your own movies'. With due apologies, that is one of the dumbest things people say. Is my own movie a Togolese one? That is one of the reasons I respect Benin culture.

Look at what happened recently. Bobrisky made a joke. But, there are some institutions you don't joke with.

Bobrisky could say he is a Yoruba guy (or babe); however 'she' wants to be addressed. He must have been seeing how some Yoruba Obas have been behaving in recent times. That must have made him feel he could make such a comment about the revered Oba of Benin. It was when he made that statement he realized the Oba of Benin isn't just any king.

Some people thought the reactions were a bit too much but Benin people don't joke with their culture. And that is because the Oba of Benin does not 'carry himself' anyhow.

Our culture and tradition are dying by the minute and people don't even seem to be concerned. There was an uproar by the indigenes of Benin because they don't joke with their king and their king also doesn't joke with their tradition. Do you think if Bobrisky had made such a statement about a Yoruba oba, people would have talked? Let us tell ourselves the truth. Is it normal to see our kings on Instagram frolicking with 'commoners'?"

Seyi Edun– Why I’m Glad I Married Adeniyi Johnson

Posted: 17 Jan 2022 12:30 AM PST

Proud wife and actress, Oluwaseyi Edun, is gushing about her marriage to fellow actor, Adeniyi Johnson, declaring that she has no regrets marrying him.

Speaking about her union to Adeniyi Johnson who she regards as her boyfriend, Seyi said  "To every home, there is an understanding. The issue of handling one's career and home is not a general affair. Every family must have a picture of how they want their home to be. I am glad that I married my best friend (Adeniyi Johnson), and we understand each other to a very commendable extent. There are several celebrity couples who are doing greatly despite their busy work schedules. The likes of Olu Jacobs and Joke Silva are worthy role models to learn from. The idea of time, self and resource management continue to sharpen our marital life and we are balancing things appropriately."

Reacting to insinuations of actresses being promiscuous and giving more priority to their careers at the expense of their marriages, Edun said, "That is a very low impression about hard-working and talented actresses. We work hard and contribute to the growth of Nollywood in every purposeful aspect. Although there is no profession without its black sheeps, stereotyping Nollywood actresses is totally unfair on the integrity of the women involved. People should actually show us more love."

Concerning cyber bullies who troll celebrities online, she said, "I have no regrets calling a troll out. I think people should be reminded that celebrities are humans too. We have emotions, and people should not just come on the Internet and make demoralising comments about other human beings just because those people are celebrities. It is time we began to put such people in their place."

In her recent interview, the screen goddess explained the importance of mental health while speaking concerning her experiences.

Narrating her ordeal, Toyin said, "It was not easy. My manager had to get a counselor from America to talk to me. I knew I needed therapy, but sometimes you like to yourself even when you know that you need something.

I lived in denial, but I knew I was depressed. I would often sit down and be sad for no reason. I would get scared even when people were around me. I would get scared when people called me for something good.

I was not happy, and I lost weight even though I was well fed. I was very skinny. I would cry to my manager on the phone as I was always sad. I was depressed. The event happened within the past three years."

Posted: 16 Jan 2022 10:30 PM PST

Nollywood actress, Queeneth Agbor has revealed measures to be taken before she agrees to kiss roles in movies. While speaking with Saturday Beats, the Award Winning actress noted that"The actor involved will determine if I will agree to a kissing scene in a movie. Having a good breath is very important to me and smelling nicely is also important."

Asked if she had ever had a bad kissing experience while shooting a movie, she said, "An actor with bad breath actually wanted to make the kissing scene real even after we agreed to mime and it went really wrong because I couldn't bear it. Trust me, mint couldn't even help the situation. The director had to scrap the scene because I refused to put myself through such trauma.

Agbor also stated that she finds it 'annoying' when celebrities fight on social media. She said, "I find it very stupid and annoying. Because when the going was good, I wasn't invited. When the enjoyment goes wrong, they would want to scatter our eyes and ears with unnecessary information. Celebrities should not bring drama we won't benefit from to social media this year."
