Rumors are circulating that Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, one half of Psquare, and his girlfriend Ivy Ifeoma are anticipating the arrival of their first child. Online reports suggest that the couple, who have been in a relationship for more than two years, is awaiting the birth of a baby. If true, this would mark the singer’s fourth child, as he already has three children with his ex-wife, Anita Okoye.

Following the news, social media users have been left divided as many believe the model and influencer is trying to trap the singer with her pregnancy.

One Barbie Luxury wrote, “She wan use belle hook the guy

One Miz Choco Berry wrote, “Chai. Las Las na babymama na im

One Rochie Touch Cakes wrote, “Congratulations now welcome reality. Give him one year another side chick is replacing you

One Tayoed wrote, “Just like that Sha! I hope she is making the right decision

One I Am Farmer wrote, “She’s just 23yrs, God abeg. Age is just a number

One Deep Core Comedian wrote, “I feel like they married secretly cus I don’t want to believe this girl would willingly choose the babymama situation with Rudeboy

One Mhiz Sweetie wrote, “Person wey be say nothing wey she dey do with the guy she suppose avoid pregnancy. Now she’s pregnant, it won’t still change who he is”.

For several months, rumors of her pregnancy have circulated online, which the model has repeatedly denied. She humorously noted how speculation about her pregnancy seemed to have been ongoing since the year 1960.

During the holiday season, Ivy dispelled rumors of an engagement to the singer after she shared a photo flaunting a ring online.

Following his separation from his wife, Anita Okoye, Paul Okoye entered a relationship with Ivy Ifeoma. When discussing their relationship, he clarified that he had been single for four years before meeting Ivy and expressed intentions of marrying her.

In January, Ivy addressed the challenges of being in a relationship with a high-profile celebrity, admitting that negative comments online sometimes hurt her, but she tries to remain resilient. She recounted how negative comments began flooding in once she and Paul went public with their relationship, particularly hurtful accusations of being a homewrecker.

Ivy firmly stated that she had no involvement in Paul and Anita’s marriage breakdown and attributed the negative comments to misinformation. She emphasized that she entered a relationship with a single man.

Paul came to her defense, highlighting how some internet users seem to enjoy sensationalizing divorces and placing blame, even where it’s unwarranted, for entertainment purposes.

 

“THE MONEY ISN’T DESERVED, AND SHE SHOULDN’T HAVE USED BLACKMAIL,” AHNEEKA REMARKS ON PHYNA’S CONTROVERSY WITH MULTICHOICE (VIDEO).

Former Big Brother Naija contestant Ahneeka has shared her thoughts on the ongoing online dispute between Level Up winner Phyna and the show’s organizers, Multichoice.

Phyna has been publicly addressing Multichoice for over two months now, claiming they owe her a substantial sum of money, including Bitcoins she alleges could be valued at over N100 million. Ahneeka weighed in on the matter during an interview, expressing her belief that nobody inherently deserves or should feel entitled to such money, regardless of their actions in the Big Brother house.

Ahneeka advised Phyna to seek internal guidance or engage in constructive dialogue rather than resorting to social media blackmail. She highlighted the common phenomenon of housemates feeling invincible due to their large social media followings post-show but emphasized the importance of maintaining a realistic understanding that post-Big Brother success requires continued effort and hustle.

Regarding Phyna’s claims of unpaid debts, Ahneeka suggested exploring peaceful avenues for resolution rather than escalating the situation online.

Nobody deserves that money, there is nothing you do in the house that makes you deserve the money”.

Ahneeka’s statement that Phyna didn’t deserve the money, was met with mixed reactions as many slammed her for it, noting how she was looking for Phyna’s trouble.

One Barokah House of Abaya wrote, “If Phyna reply make nobody talk ooo. Nobody should said she’s razzz ooo. Ehn Ehn

One Thick Fina wrote, “Wahala’, this one is looking for attention make Phyna no answer her

One Pink Larette wrote, “Nobody deserves the money, but you went on the show for the same money

One Queen Sarah Oliseh wrote, “Phyna don set camera

One Omaj Costello Designs wrote, “This is weak! It’s shame show and things were promised and people voted, if they can’t keep their part of the bargain then they should strap the show.

One Away2silence wrote, “When Phyna responds now, social media people will start throwing insults at her. You people will trigger someone then gaslight them later”.

One Bqeez UK wrote, “Blackmail them? Tooor

One Omelogo wrote, “Just busy speaking gibberish! Mtchewwwwww

Kemi Filani reported back in April that Phyna had publicly accused the Big Brother Naija franchise of owing her, as she had not yet received all her prizes and money. She emphasized her intention to focus on her own affairs to avoid being labeled as ungrateful.

Continuing her efforts to address the issue, Phyna involved the Practitioners of Content Creating, Skitmaking, and Influencers Guild (PCCSIGN), who sent a memorandum to the organizers urging them to honor their commitments to Phyna. The memo outlined the promises made by the show’s organizers that remained unfulfilled.

Phyna also confronted her fellow contestant, Khosi, who won BBTitans, after Khosi shared evidence of receiving her prize money. Phyna perceived this as an attempt to discredit her and criticized Khosi for deviating from the ethos of “Women supporting women.”

During an Instagram live session, the Edo-born star disclosed that she experienced depression following the reunion, attributing it to the difficulties she faced afterward. She alleged that she was not given the money and prizes she was owed, particularly her Bitcoin winnings, which she claimed amounted to over N90 million.

Former Big Brother Nigeria contestant Phyna recently took to the X platform to drop hints about her upcoming birthday. She mentioned that in 10 days, she would be celebrating her 27th birthday and reflected on how each year has been significant for her journey. Phyna expressed gratitude for the precious moments and acknowledged that both the good and bad experiences have played a role in shaping her into who she is today. She emphasized that every year has contributed to her growth and learning, stating that she has gleaned valuable lessons throughout her life.

However, it’s worth noting that just last April, Phyna criticized the Big Brother franchise for allegedly defaming her character. She questioned the franchise’s decision not to air certain clips from the reunion show, particularly the first day’s footage, and accused them of unfairly portraying her by focusing on her reactions in subsequent episodes. Phyna raised concerns about the handling of discussions about financial losses during the reunion and hinted at feeling provoked on the first day, which she claimed was not shown to viewers.

Addressing recent rumors of his arrest, Davido took to his Instagram story a few months ago to refute the claims, asserting that they were entirely false. He clarified that he has never been arrested in Nigeria or anywhere else globally. Davido expressed disappointment in the dissemination of such unfounded rumors, deeming it irresponsible, even if it was circulated on April Fool’s Day.

Recently, Mohbad’s mother lodged a complaint against her former husband, Mr. Joseph Aloba, alleging threats to her life. Known for openly discussing her strained relationship with her ex-spouse, she reportedly submitted a petition to the Assistant Inspector General of Police, claiming that Mr. Aloba has been threatening her because she refused to collaborate with him in spreading falsehoods about Omowunmi, Mohbad’s wife, related to the late singer’s passing.

She conveyed through her lawyer that Mr. Aloba has been making threats and granting interviews to the media and bloggers, causing her to fear for her safety. She mentioned encountering unknown individuals monitoring her former residence, prompting her to relocate to evade potential harm. She also cited instances of online bullying due to her ex-husband’s actions on social media.

In a separate incident, in April 2024, Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo praised Mohbad’s mother on her 50th birthday, urging women to pray for a mother figure like her. She highlighted how Mohbad’s wife, Omowunmi, found support from Mohbad’s mother during various challenges in the public eye.

Moreover, in 2023, Mohbad’s mother explained why she seldom discloses her relationship with Mohbad, expressing fear of being targeted for kidnapping due to his prominence in the entertainment industry.

At the beginning of the video, Neo Akpofure mentioned that love involves making continuous sacrifices. He also emphasized that love means prioritizing your partner and showing them that they are valued.

Neo further explained that love sometimes requires stepping back to let your partner shine. The overall tone of the video was melancholic, which is somewhat unusual for Neo’s typical online demeanor, but his delivery was still impressive.

A fan in the comment section remarked that Beauty Tukura was fortunate to have Neo in her life, to which Neo replied that they were both fortunate to have each other.

Neo Akpofure and Beauty Tukura have been together for a while now, following his breakup with Vee. Unlike Vee, Beauty hasn’t had any public disputes with Neo’s sister, Venita Akpofure, although they haven’t publicly declared a friendship or been seen together.

The specifics of Vee and Neo’s breakup remain undisclosed, but it appears to have left them both with negative feelings. While Vee engaged in online conflicts with her ex and his sister, Beauty Tukura has faced her own controversies.

A few years ago, there were numerous allegations online accusing Beauty Tukura of being a bully during her secondary school days. Amidst the backlash, Beauty took a break from social media, with speculations suggesting she needed to escape the negative attention.

Despite seeming like she might have been “canceled” at that time, her career appears to be thriving now.

Neo Akpofure went all in for his woman Beauty Tukura in a recent video that he made.

In a recent interview, singer Seyi Vibez recounted his experience with scammers when he was a hopeful thirteen-year-old trying to break into the music industry. During his search, he came across a contact who claimed to be an assistant to Wizkid. This supposed assistant requested ten thousand Naira as a registration fee for Starboy Inc, and Seyi Vibez believed him.

With high hopes, Seyi Vibez sold his phone to raise the money and handed it over to the scammer. Despite being scammed at such a young age, Seyi Vibez did not let this setback deter him from pursuing his musical dreams, eventually achieving significant success in his career.

Seyi Vibez made a notable entry into the music industry with his distinctive sound, often described as Afro-Fuji, characterized by rhythmic beats and predominantly Yoruba lyrics. However, his journey hasn’t been without challenges. In 2023, he had a public feud with fellow artist Portable over who was the true “king of the trenches.”

This dispute saw both artists flaunting their wealth and distributing money in their old neighborhoods. Portable is known for his numerous conflicts, having had issues with his baby mamas, manager, and show promoters.

Additionally, Portable had an unprovoked conflict with Bobrisky, criticizing him for dressing like a woman. In response, Bobrisky released a diss track titled “Brotherhood.”

He stated that he had gone online to google how to get into Starboy Inc, which is owned by Wizkid.

“HOW A HEARTBREAK FROM A GIRL I WAS GOING TO PROPOSE TO MADE ME DISLIKE CANADA,” SINGER SPYRO RECOUNTS.

Fast-rising Nigerian singer Spyro recently shared on Instagram how a heartbreak from a woman he was planning to propose to caused him to dislike Canada. He explained that he was still healing from this painful experience, where he had envisioned a future with her, bought a ring, and then she abruptly ended things after a female friend pecked him as a thank you for a favor. This act of kindness towards his friend set off a chain of events that led to their breakup. Since then, Spyro developed a resentment towards Canada, but he now feels healed.

A few days ago, Spyro also revealed why he avoids being in the same room with Big Brother Naija Lockdown finalist Nengi Hampson. He emphasized that while he is not Jesus Christ, he is a servant of His, and thus avoids any situation involving Nengi to prevent others from using her to get to him. He recounted his initial encounter with her, which prompted him to distance himself.

Last year, Spyro surprised many by declaring himself God’s ambassador, stating that he was sent to the music industry to bring about positive change. He distanced himself from unholy songs and committed to promoting music that is righteous and pleasing to God.

Recently, Spyro cautioned men to be wary of beautiful women, claiming that the most troublesome ones are often the very attractive ones. He drew a parallel to the Devil, who was the most beautiful angel before being cast out of heaven, suggesting that the Devil operates through many of the pretty faces men encounter.

Canada
I want to be honest today.
The reason why I have pushed this tour this far is because I was still healing from a serious heartbreak from one of your girls there.
Quite painful as I saw a future with us, already bought a ring and all of a sudden she ended it and for what? Because a female friend pecked me father I bought her something she needed and I wanted to be open so I told her and that led to a series of events that ended the relationship.
Since then I resented the idea of Canada and everything that surrounds it but now I am healed thanks to series of messages from my pastor.
CANADA IT’S TIME”.

So you know, I am not just coming to tour o, I am coming to find beauty to my chaos, so my Jesus baddies, as you are coming out to the venues, endeavor to dress sexy but decent, I might just sight my missing rib from the crown and oh, I won’t be wearing shades on all performances in CANADA so I can see well … See ya all from June 14th”.

In an interview with WithChude, he revealed that before converting to Christianity, he used to make a living by selling alcohol and weed, even to night workers.

This groundbreaking achievement marks a significant step forward for gender equality and representation in the region’s political leadership.

Sworn in during the second extraordinary session of the parliament in Kano, Nigeria, Mrs. Ibrahima embraced her new role with a pledge to foster integration within the sub-region.

Expressing gratitude for the trust bestowed upon her by her colleagues, she vowed to leverage her extensive experience to advance the interests of the West African sub-region.

Acknowledging the support of Togo’s and Nigeria’s presidents, as well as the heads of state authorities, Mrs. Ibrahima emphasized the importance of cooperation and collaboration among ECOWAS member states. Her vision is centered on promoting harmony and progress in the region, with a strong focus on integration and development.

The historic appointment of Mrs. Ibrahima has received commendations from various quarters, including female members of the parliament who lauded the decision to elect a woman to lead the institution.

This decision marks a pivotal moment in the state’s history, especially considering the political and cultural significance of the Kano Emirate.

Governor Yusuf’s approval of Emir Sanusi’s reappointment comes as part of the implementation of the Kano Emirates Bill 2024, which has now been signed into law.

With the signing of the new bill into law, Governor Yusuf has made it clear that the 2019 law is now a thing of the past, signaling a return to the traditional governance system of the Kano Emirate. This move underscores the governor’s commitment to respecting and preserving the cultural and historical legacy of the region.

As part of the transition process, former emirs have been given 48 hours to vacate their palaces and hand over Emirate Council properties to the Commissioner of Local Government, who also serves as the State Deputy Governor. This step signifies a swift implementation of the new laws and a clear delineation of authority within the Emirate Council.

The signing ceremony of the Kano Emirates Bill 2024 was attended by key figures, including the Speaker of the State Assembly, Ismaila Falgore, Deputy Governor Aminu Abdussalam, Secretary to the State Government Abdullahi Baffa Bichi, and other dignitaries. Their presence underscores the importance and significance of this legislative milestone in the state’s governance.

The prostate, vital for reproduction and urination, is prone to various health issues as men age.

Around half of men over 60 and 90% by age 80 experience an enlarged prostate, with 1 in 8 men diagnosed with prostate cancer. Regardless of age, maintaining prostate health is crucial.

Though there’s no fail-safe method to prevent prostate problems, adopting certain habits can mitigate risks.

Here are practical ways to promote prostate health:

1. **Maintain a Nutritious Diet**: Consuming a diet rich in healthy plant foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and legumes can safeguard against prostate problems, notably prostate cancer. Steering clear of processed foods and sugary drinks is also essential.

2. **Regular Exercise**: Being physically active reduces the likelihood of an enlarged prostate. Incorporate regular exercise into your routine to support prostate and overall health while managing weight and averting cardiovascular diseases.

3. **Moderate Alcohol Consumption**: Excessive alcohol intake heightens the risk of prostate issues, including cancer and enlargement. Limit alcohol intake or consider abstaining entirely, opting for water instead to stay hydrated.

4. **Quit Smoking**: Smoking adversely affects every part of the body, including the prostate. While not directly linked to prostate cancer development, smoking can exacerbate its severity. Quitting smoking reduces this risk and enhances overall health.

5. **Screening**: Regular screenings for prostate cancer, starting at age 50 or earlier for high-risk individuals like those with a family history, are crucial. Although screenings don’t prevent cancer, they aid in early detection, when treatment is more effective.

Adopting these habits, along with regular screenings, can significantly contribute to prostate health, fostering overall well-being.
