In his words;

“Yes I was homeless. I wasn’t making money, as at that time, I wasn’t making money, it was only Banky and Wiz. I mean I was making money but it was not plenty. And I was also a young chap still trying to figure out life.

So I’m like, I don’t have guidance, I’m just in these streets by myself, really. Even though, as much as I hate to blame whatever mistakes on that, but really I didn’t have no guidance, I didn’t have much money, the house I was staying, they rented it, so when the deal was off, I had to leave.

You know, so I didn’t know what to do, I hit the streets and I’m not much of a going to be begging anybody for anything. Just still believed okay I have to keep going, I had just this Ford Explorer, my studio is my baby so I had my clothes, my shoes in the boot. I mean I didn’t have much because everything I had in the house was theirs. I could just drive to anybody’s house that’s my friend, anytime we finish work, I’ll always make sure I leave late.

“So after I finish doing work, which was mostly with Timaya, I’ll just go to my car and pass out, the next morning, I’ll probably pull up in the house like ‘Yo I want to use your bathroom, I only have my toothpaste and my brush then I’ll just go brush my teeth real quick. I was good vibes so everybody wanted me around you know. But only myself and one of my friends knew what I was going through but a lot of people didn’t know.

“So one day, Timaya found out and he actually cried, he felt so bad because I was always with them, I was always chilling, and he didn’t know what was going on. So when he found out, he was like, there’s this penthouse that he doesn’t use for anything, he now told me to move in there.”

“Half-baked actors are taking over Nollywood” – Bob-Manuel Udokwu

Nigerian veteran actor, Bob-Manuel Udokwu has condemned the entry of many people with inadequate training into the film business.

He lamented the invasion of amateur actors and directors who are now playing the principal roles in Nollywood.

According to Udokwu, the sector ought to be at a higher level than it now is, and the prevalence of unethical behavior is the single factor keeping growth from accelerating.

He  shared this while chatting with writer Azuh Arinze during an Instagram Live session.

The movie star said;

“Nollywood ought to be greater than what it is at the moment. Unfortunately, the true potential of the industry is not being realised. A lot of unprofessional activities are going on.
Many half-baked practitioners have invaded the industry. The real professionals should step forward and take back Nollywood.”

When discussing the pinnacle of his career, Udokwu listed among other achievements having the honor of anchoring Gulder Ultimate Search.

He said;

“Being in ‘Checkmate’ (a TV series in the nineties) was a game changer for me. Also, being in ‘Living in Bondage’ (one of the first Nigerian home videos) paved the way for some other roles.

Anchoring Gulder Ultimate Search (a TV reality show) in 2007 was another game changer for me. It was also challenging, because I was not the first person that anchored it.

I started anchoring the show in season four in 2007. But, I eventually became the longest-running anchor person for the show. I hosted it for five consecutive years. Basically, not one particular role changed my career; each role added to the things I was doing.”

“I can’t be a square peg in a round hole” – Queen Naomi speaks on returning to Ife Palace with Ooni’s six new wives

Queen Naomi, the estranged wife of the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, has spoken about the possibility of reconciliation with the Yoruba monarch.

In a recent interview with Punch, the mother of one, who recently turned 30, made it clear that she has no intention of returning to the palace to join the six other queens.

Recall that the Ooni of Ife made headlines last year when he took six wives in quick succession.

Speaking about the possibility of reconciliation with the Ooni, she said,

“As I have been speaking to you for the past one hour, do I look like someone who can survive in the midst of six mature and strong women? No! I am a soft, strong, gentle woman, and I can’t be a square peg in a round hole.”

In December 2021, Queen Naomi announced that she had parted ways with her husband, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi. According to her, she had tried her best to endure and make their marriage work, adding that she had smiled through the struggle but was now done.

She also told her kinsmen not to associate her with the Ooni or Ife or call her the Queen of Ile-Ife any longer. However, the palace maintained that the royal couple was still married.

In a new development, the 29-year-old Olori took to her Instagram page on Thursday, August 29, to speak about how difficult it is for women to walk away from an abusive marriage.

Reacting to the post, her sister Simi said no woman deserves to experience even a tiny bit of what she went through and is still going through. She added that Queen Naomi has gone through enough, and it’s time ‘to wake the sleeping dog’.

I wish you were here to see all that is happening. I remember how I would always tell you I would make you proud, and it’s sad you aren’t here now. Thank you for all you taught me and did for me. Till we meet again, rest in power Sound Sultan.”

Anyanwu added that the deceased said he reported the case to his wife’s family who invited him to a meeting in their family compound in Nung Udoe Itak, Ikono LGA, but he did not return alive.

Anyanwu, who is the seventh prosecution witness in the case, also claimed that the deceased lawyer told him that his wife was having an affair with her former boss, a lawyer named Barrister C.I. Odoh.

Before his death, Ikoiwak allegedly told his friend that his wife worked as a housekeeper for a Catholic Priest, Rev. Father Maurice Mbeke, who impregnated her and they gave birth to a child who is now 19-year-old named after her maternal grandfather.

An audio evidence was played in court by the prosecution team, which was led by Barr. Joseph Umoren, the Director of Public Prosecutions for Akwa Ibom State.

He said:

“Entering prison, as a woman, Tems, they [prison warders] took her to the female section. I was just worried about her. I was not with her. I was just wondering what the hell is going on [with her?].

“You can’t force me to marry you; I love someone else now” – Nigerian lady tells man who sponsored her education (Video)

A Nigerian lady has ended her relationship with a man who sponsored her through university with the intention of marrying her.

In a video shared on social media, the lady, identified as Maryvin, made it clear that despite all the man had done for her, she was not interested in marrying him and he had no right to feel entitled to marriage just because he paid for her education.

Maryvin expressed her gratitude for the man’s generosity but emphasized that it would not influence her decision in his favor.

She went on to explain that she had been repeatedly ridiculed by his family, who saw her as nothing more than a financial burden.

She recalled how the man’s mother had plainly told him in her presence that he could not marry her when he introduced her as his fiancee.

Maryvin also revealed that the man’s mother had barred him from marrying her because they were not comfortable with the fact that she did not have parents.

“I know he paid and I appreciate, Im grateful for paying my school fees Darlington, but for me to marry you, I cannot marry you and no one should beg me to marry you because I went through hell because of your family”. She said in part.

In another post, she advised the man to move on, as she loves someone else now.
