Juliana Drops Another Shocking Revelation About Pastor Adigun

Posted: 27 Jan 2022 12:00 AM PST

Former actress on Jenifas Diary, Olayode Juliana popularly known as Toyosi, for her role in the comic drama TV series has continued to drag her former pastor and manager, Timilehin Adigun, accusing him of sexually abusing her sister and making her leave the set of Jenifa's Diary.

Few years ago, when Juliana left the set of Jenifa's diary, one of her co-actors said she spoke rudely to the crew members, and Funke Akindele scolded her.

Juliana reported the issue to Pastor Timilehin who sent Funke an email saying Juliana will no longer act on the set of Jenifa's diary and they are also ready to refund any money or gift Funke has given to them over the years. This was what caused the separation between Funke and Juliana.

This morning, Juliana shared new videos on her Instagram page with caption:

"You know your children Timilehin, don't ever call me you daughter again! And don't ever call yourself my father again!

I don't know why you mentioned Jenifa's diary, you want people to drag me for the mess you made.

You are just wicked honestly, what has Jenifa's Dairy got to do with passwords.

You sent an email and messed up the whole thing. Never said anything about it, people said all sort of things to me then, some are still talking till today.

You messed things up and I paid for it, who did I tell?

I almost went crazy when you started put the blame on me, as you have a habit of to blaming me for different thing, you just never take responsibility for the things you do.

I had to talk to the person who was present the day you sent the email as I thought I had amnesia.

I even had to chat with the director, because it felt like I was going crazy….

"Timilehin Adigun, I can not make sense of the videos you did. Just when I think I have seen it all, you reveal another side of you. I thought I knew you but I didn't. You have no heart!

Your videos brought back memories, sad memories, painful memories, I have not been able to stop thinking about them, I can't even sleep.

Did you listen to yourself at all? I don't think you did.

You manipulated and sexually abused my sister and you thought I would be calm, you expect me not to be furious, how are you processing the things you did and the things you said? How? I don't get you.

You talk about apology and forgiveness.Forgiving you is a process for me. I forgave you then, for may sanity, just when I am trying to move on, you do something else that triggers me and I get mad at you again and I beg God to help me forgive you again.

The hurt is really deep, the pain, the trauma, the disappointment, the sleepless nights, the tears that drenched my pillow, the shock, the entire experience is indescribable.

Like I said, there is so much to say. I don't have the words yet.

My book Rebirth is full of your praises Timilehin, I spoke about all the things you did for me.

Even though then you had done it with two or three people that I know, but they were in good terms with you and they had forgiven you and everything seem to be okay.

We all thought it was a thing of the past for you and it will never happen again. When you told me it will never happen again, I believed you, I thought it had stopped.

Hence the reason I chose to"

When you cheat & you are in a moral position you must step away from Ministry! You have to ! And also it's sooo important to hold yourself accountable & confess.

When something is in the dark let it come to the light so that there is healing!

Yes he did a horrible thing & now he has made steps to restore & heal. You can't be cheating & still ministering. Even if you have repented . Leave the ministry & go & ask yourself why were you cheating. Find the foundation of your relationship with God before your lead others."

Jezzyken- Music saved my life

Posted: 26 Jan 2022 04:00 AM PST

Ezeja Ogechukwu Kenneth also known as Jezzyken shared his story in an exclusive interview as the rising star began his narration going way back to his secondary school days.

"I was timid and always on my own which made me not have many friends, I'm always indoor. My only hobby was listening to music and writing computer programs. My brother and I would spend hours analyzing different sounds and genres of music." He said.

He recalled starting his musical journey as a music producer saying he wasn't able to save up for music studio equipment but his passion was so affirming that he had to use his tuition fees to buy his first set of musical instruments.


He would stay up all night practicing in his room with his supportive brother who won't complain whenever the sound of instruments wakes him up at night and would even sometimes join Jezzyken and they would both vibe to the beats.

Jezzyken had it all going great as a beatmaker but being so shy and an introvert made it difficult for him to meet with artistes to sell his beat which became a very big challenge after spending much money on equipment.

"I had to start vibing to my instrumentals and beats and before I knew it my classmates would gather at my window singing along," Jezzyken said. He gradually became popular in his neighborhood and school and began earning stipends from neighbors, friends, and other music lovers before putting together a formidable team to create his record label Mys3lyf and as since till date been striving as an independent artiste making waves and doing exploits releasing his first single "Ecstasy" in 2019 and his first Ep "SUBZERO" in 2020 with other hits songs in consequent years.

Actor Bob-Manuel Udokwu Reveals Sentiment About African Deities And Idols

Posted: 25 Jan 2022 11:30 PM PST

People feel differently about African idols and deities, and this has been a conversation for a long time from people who fail to reach common ground on the topic. Veteran Nollywood actor, Bob-Manuel Udokwu, however, has weighed in on the subject, sharing his sentiment on African deities.

In his argument, he stressed the importance of not throwing away tradition because we have the 'white man religion' while also stating that there is some part of the African tradition that needs to be abolished.

He further stated that African deities are powerful and that is why the whites are returning the stolen deities back to Africa after so many years of taking them from Africans.

Bob-Manuel Udokwu said this during an interview with BBC Igbo while stressing how modern religion has affected the African culture.

"As white people came to our land, they took away our artifacts, deities, insignia, and other valuables. If you look up the news, you find that they're returning them because these statues are tormenting them.

"The white people brought modern Christianity but included the part where we're being made to pray in the name of some of their saints and adherents who have died. These are dead people we never got to know.

"If you pray in the name of white saints, make sure you include those of your home country.

"If your father is dead, know that he has joined the saints and ancestors that would do intercessory prayers for you wherever God is.

"It doesn't amount to worshiping deities. And even worshiping African deities is nothing bad.

"There are some customs that are not acceptable. Let's stop those. And some have indeed ceased to exist. Let's not dispose of both the baby and the bathwater.

The veteran actor also stressed how important it was following the African way of doing things, hinting at the need for some of those things to remain the way it was.

"Before the whites came, we had herbalists who treat various ailments. All of them were categorized as native doctors and spiritualists. The whites came and made us believe that native doctors are a bad omen.

"Today, where are those traditionalists who cure insanity, iba, diarrhea before white people came? Open your eyes.

"I'm educated. I agree that sick people should use the hospital but let's give what's to Caesar to him and what's to God to him. Breaking kola is no different from the Holy Communion we take in church.

"The white people who told us these things are demonic are taking back their words because our deities they stole are tormenting them."

Popular singer, Emeka Akumefule, known professionally as Blaqbonez, has taken to his social media page to reflecton his modest beginnings.

Blaqbonez also recounted to his fans, how he spent the first N200,000 he earned. Reflecting on how far he had come, he stated that he had taken the longest road to becoming successful in the music industry.

The rapper further stated that when he earned his first 200k he intended to use the money to purchase for himself, some studio equipments, but his mum insisted that he give the money to their pastor as his 'first fruit'.

The artist added that since he couldn't afford to pay others for their skills, he was forced to become self-sufficient, producing, mixing, and mastering his own music.

Blaqbonez further described a time when he collapsed on the side of the road and sobbed after a sound engineer informed him that his system had failed and he had lost all of his music.

Here's a screenshot of his post;
