Peter Okoye of the defunct Psquare group made a confession during a heart-to-heart conversation with his fans on Insta-live.
The singer revealed that when he met his wife 18 years ago, he was a gold digger and had nothing. Reflecting on the turnaround he got, Peter also urged men to stop thinking that every woman is a harlot.
He said;
I met my wife 18 years ago, I was a gold digger. When I met her, I f*cking had nothing. Men wise up, every woman is not a harlot or a slay mama, Pick one and make her look the way you want her to be. My wife was never perfect, don't get me wrong, what I did was make her look the way I want her to be and she made me look same way she wanted me to be. Have you seen me before, I was ugly before. Look at me now, every day I'm looking younger
Curvy actress, Princess Shyngle has taken to her YouTube to cry out about her current predicament.
She revealed that she’s pregnant, her fiance is in jail and she’s struggling alone without help from her friends or family.
The curvy actress said life has been hard for her ever since her Senegalese fiancé, Frederic Badji, was jailed for fraud in New York.
She called out those saying she’s sharing her story for clout. She said that if she wanted clout, all she’ll have to do is go naked or twerk and she’ll get people’s attention. She added that she decided to share her story to strengthen anyone going through the same ordeal.
Crying in the video, she said: “My man is in jail, I’m going through all these. I’ve been by myself for months, I’m struggling, I’m paying my bills, I’m going through it.
She added: “It took a lot of courage because I’m the only one in this. Nobody is in support of me, not my family, not my friends, nobody, nobody is in f***ing support of me.”

Nollywood veteran actress, Ngozi Ezeonu, about a month and few weeks ago was in an excited state as her daughter, Oge got married in Asaba, Delta State. See Photos here
Colleagues and friends took to wishing the actress’s daughter a happy married life and showered blessings on the union but not long after, unfortunately, there was wild controversy caused by the father of the bride.
According to the actress’s ex-husband, Edwin Ezeonu, she married off their daughter without his consent and as such, trampled on his right and honour as a man.
Edwin, who was exasperated by the fact that his daughter got married in Asaba, Delta state not Anambra which is her state of origin, he laid a curse on her new union.
He went to state that he is native of Nnobi while his estranged wife, Ngozi is from Ogbunike, both in Anambra State, yet his daughter’s traditional marriage was held in Delta State, an act seen as abomination in his community.
In his own words,
“I’m the real son of the soil in Igbo land and I am knowledgeable enough to some extent concerning Igbo marriage tradition in Anambra State. In the whole of Anambra State where I belong, a woman does not and has no legitimate right whatsoever to give out a fellow woman’s hand in marriage. It is a abomination and taboo. As such, Ngozi Denis Ikpelue has no legitimate right and authority to give out Ogechukwu Edwina Ezeonu’s hand in marriage. As long as I and the entire family of Ezeonu and his kindred are concerned, Ogechukwu Edwina Ezeonu is not married. That union is cursed. It is a taboo! What happened at Asaba Delta State on the 15th of February 2020 must be a movie shoot,”
Weeks after his ranting, his estranged spouse who had endured the derogatory remarks from users online over her ex-husband’s call out, shared a cryptic message on her Instagram page which reads,
”My Father My Maker, as I pray, anyone that will cause me pain may I not meet them. If they are already in my life, disconnect me from them in Jesus Name. Amen. “
Few hours ago, Nigerian singing sensation, Davido took to all his social media platforms to announce that mother of his child and fiance, Chioma has tested positive to the novel Covid-19 after running tests for the disease.
Perturbed by the message, heartfelt Nigerians and well-wishers stormed the singer’s page to say a word of prayer and hope that his baby mama gets speedy recovery.
Davido, in his message had stated that not only did Chioma do the test for the virus, but every other of his crew including himself and his son, Ifeanyi and all except Chioma tested negative to the virus.
In light of this, fans and followers have pondered about the circumstances surrounding the development and wondered if the singer is pulling a stunt but at what cost and for what gain is what has a handful people in doubts.
While some of his fans continue to put him and his fiance in prayers, others who have found the whole situation sketchy have continued to question Davido’s message and it’s in this vein that a video of the singer partying alongside his fiance at a party just five days ago, emerged.
In the video, Davido is seen in close contact with Chioma as they party alongside other people – obviously, should be the singer’s crew members – and this has caused a stir over the singer’s message few hours ago.
Davido revealed that though, Chioma tested positive to the virus, she however hasn’t shown any symptoms and the same goes for himself… in his own words,
We had no symptoms and still both feel perfectly fine but because of our recent travel history we decided to take ourselves and our all close associates we’ve come in recent contact with for the COVID-19 test on the 25th of March.
Now, in light of the emergence of the video that shows the singer in really close relations to Chioma, Nigerians are finding it hard to believe that his test could have come out negative or whether or not, Chioma is actually positive and if all these is just a mere stunt.
Also, a tweet of photos that shows the singer – few days before his announcement – partying in supposedly the same event has since been deleted on the platform which calls for serious speculations over the possible anomaly of the situation.
The tweet was screenshot before it was deleted and it shows the date which it was published – 23rd of March, 2020. See screenshot below,
Here are the photos that were uploaded with the tweet and they certainly commensurate the video that was published recently after Davido’s announcement.
Nollywood actor, Alkali Matt, popularly known as Dareng, has died while he was filming on set on the 24th of March 2020.
Dimbo Atiya who shared the news of his demise on Facebook said Matt passed at around 7 pm “suddenly while he was filming on a set for an epic movie in a village near Keffi.”
He is popular for his role as Dareng in the African Magic series “Halita.”
Dimbo Atiya took to their page to share a series of tribute to him.
However, controversial journalist, Kemi Olunloyo is claiming the actor died because he had contact with someone who tested positive for Coronavirus at the AMVCA 7.
She wrote: “#Breaking, Dareng died today on the set of his movie. He was EXPOSED to someone with #Covid19. People are dropping like flies in NYC and Italy. I have warned and warned. Pls go into #selfisolation, stop filming at this time. Someone on that set was infected. I tweeted all day. Matt Alkali was only 36yo. A very careful autopsy should be done. Virus is always active and bodies should be cremated #RIP, young man. NOLLYWOOD #dosomething

The family of Nigerian rapper CDQ has given their tenants a 30% off their 2020 rent over the inconvenience caused by the ravaging coronavirus disease.
Taking to his Instagram page, the rapper mentioned that move was necessary to ease the burdens on the tenants who are likely to be affected economically by the disease.
He wrote:
So I was on the phone with my lil brother last-night for almost 2hrs discussing the issue of this deadly Corona Virus… I’ve never spoken to him for this long before 臘 Last night I realized how much I’m meant to have loved him… mostly I’m always concerned about my mum and my little sister, and I’ll be like after-all he’s a guy he’ll be fine.
So last night we concluded on taking some burdens off the people that are attached to the little properties we have control over in this temporal hard time.
I believe if there’s no productive activities happening with the ongoing shut-down issues everywhere right now, there has to be a way we can be rational and fair to ourselves to make life easy for our fellow humans… cos against all odds…we are all we’ve got I’m actually posting this not as a show off but to commence a movement that will probably influence everyone with good heart out there to make life easy in this hard time for anyone under or attached to us somehow… Thank You

To this end, he is set to produce movies which will hit the market from the end of the year and the first quarter of 2020.
Asked if he is quitting journalism for movie making, the very jovial and mentor to many journalists said, “As a graduate of Mass Communication, I’m rather going back to a part of what I studied, which is the use of mass media to communicate to a large audience with the intent to cause positive changes.
With the movies, I seek to entertain, educate, re-orientate, and influence positive attitudes by positively projecting our culture and values.
In one word, I will seek to tell our stories our own way not the way foreigners want us to see ourselves”.
Otunba Femi Davies in the past was the brain behind notable Yoruba movies like “Owo Ale”, Ago Meje -7 ‘O Clock’, “Temi Ni Nkem”, “Pink Ladies”, “Alabarin”, “Mase Magbe” “2010 Odun Ayo Mi” shot in Suncity, South Africa amongst other movies.
