“From Pain to Ink: Tiwa Savage Explains Why She’ll Never Date a Broke Man Again”  “Tiwa Savage Confesses: Was Her Tattoo a Cry for Help or a Shade at Broke Exes?” Nigerian music queen, Tiwa Savage , has left fans buzzing after revealing the shocking reason behind her infamous tattoo. According to the star, the ink wasn’t just a fashion statement; it was born out of raw heartbreak, pain, and regret. In a bombshell interview, Tiwa admitted that the emotional scars from a failed relationship pushed her to permanently mark her body. But here’s the twist: she flew in a tattoo artist all the way from Los Angeles, shutting herself in her Lagos mansion to keep the experience private. “It wasn’t about the tattoo itself,it was about the scream,” Tiwa confessed, describing the bloody session that left her artist in shock. “There was blood everywhere. He kept asking me, ‘What are you doing to yourself?’ But I needed that pain to match the heartbreak I was feeling.” But Tiwa didn’t stop there. ...

 "Pastor Says 'Mrs or Nothing!' — Deeper Life Overseer Sparks Drama Over Surname Sermon" It looks like the Deeper Life Global Easter Retreat came with more than just spiritual upliftment — it also dropped a hot take that's been roasting on social media ever since. Pastor Edward Kofi Twumsiah, the national overseer  of Deeper Life, boldly declared that it's unbiblical for a woman not to take her husband's surname.  Yes, you read that right — according to him, if you're not rocking his last name, heaven might just be side-eyeing your marriage certificate. He backed it up with scripture, but let’s just say the internet wasn’t exactly in the "Amen" section. While some folks clutched their Bibles in agreement, others grabbed their popcorn and started quoting Beyoncé: “What’s your last name? — None of your business!” The debate got so heated, you'd think it was a live Nollywood courtroom scene. Critics are calling it “surname supremacy,” wh...

 After Months of Silence, Alexx Ekubo’s Surprise Appearance Stirs the Internet "Where Has Alexx Ekubo Been? Fans React to First Sighting After Long Hiatus" After months of silence, Nollywood’s beloved Alexx Ekubo has finally resurfaced—setting social media abuzz with curiosity and concern. The light-skinned actor, who hasn’t posted on Instagram since December 30, 2024, recently made his first public appearance in a video that’s now making the rounds online. Naturally, fans were quick to notice a few things. Shared by @AsakyGRN on X (formerly Twitter), the short clip shows Alexx warmly interacting with a group of children. But what really caught people’s attention was how visibly slimmer and quieter he appeared. The caption simply read, “Alex Ekubo spotted for the first time since disappearing from social media,” yet it was enough to ignite a wave of speculation. What’s going on with Alexx? Is he doing okay? These are just a few of the questions fans have been asking since the...

BREAKING NEWS: Meta Threatens to Shut Down Facebook and Instagram in Nigeria A storm is brewing between tech giant Meta and the Nigerian government—and it’s Nigerians who may end up paying the price. Meta has issued a warning that it may shut down Facebook and Instagram in Nigeria by the end of June, citing what it calls “unrealistic regulatory demands” and a staggering $290 million fine imposed by the authorities. If unresolved, millions of Nigerians could lose access to two of the most influential social platforms in the world. This development is a heavy blow to countless small business owners, content creators, and marketers who rely on these platforms not just for income, but for survival. The digital economy in Nigeria, driven largely by social media, has been a lifeline amid rising unemployment and economic uncertainty. To pull the plug now is to silence thousands of hustles and dreams. It’s important to note: Meta needs Nigeria—but Nigeria also needs Meta. With over 30 million ...

  How I Learned to Stop Faking It and Start Storytelling for Real" You would think that in a society where everybody is either “grinding,” “hustling,” or “securing the bag,” no one would have time to worry about something as trivial as storytelling. But oh, how wrong I was. It happened on a humid Thursday in the heart of Lagos, where the streets pulse like a living being and your dreams can get crushed under the wheels of a keke if you’re not careful. I was standing at a crowded bus stop, phone in hand, trying to shoot a quick video for my serious content creator brand. The script? Perfect. The lighting? Questionable. The audience? Nonexistent. I hit record—and just as I launched into my "5 Tips to Explode Your Business on Instagram," a teenager skateboarding past flung a banana peel squarely at my chest. (I wish I was making this up.) There I stood: stunned, sticky, and the unwilling star of a scene straight out of a slapstick comedy. But the real drama wasn’t th...

 A 4-year-old girl in Abia  allegedly defiled by a pastor (video) A mother named Mrs. Ugo Enyinnaya has expressed concern about the alleged assault of her 4-year-old daughter, Miss Chidera, by a man known as Pastor Uche Arua, in Amaogudu Abiriba, Ohafia Local Government Area, Abia State. This is a tragic case of child defilement. Mrs. Enyinnaya described how the accused, a teacher at St. Andrews Presbyterian Church, allegedly enticed her daughter to his home and sexually assaulted her on October 24, 2024, during an appearance on the podcast program "Talk Make I Talk" with Fakzy on Thursday, March 6, 2024. She claims that the suspect took the child under false pretenses of showing her his home after claiming to be a relative of Ebem Ohafia. "Chidera later told me what he did to her—how he silenced her and gave her snacks," explained Mrs. Enyinnaya. She reported the incident to the police right away after it happened. The culprit, however, first avoided being tak...
