Tonto Dikeh’s Ex, Kpokpogri Reacts to Regina Daniels Marital Crisis

Tonto Dikeh’s ex, Prince Kpokpogri has lashed out at Nigerians rejoicing over Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko’s marital crisis.
In a post on Instagram, he condemned Nigerians over the incident.
He noted that Nigerians seem to take pleasure in negative news.
Taking to his Instagram story, he wrote:
“It is quite unfortunate that many Nigerians seem to take pleasure in negative news, especially, when it concerns the personal lives of others.
 
When Tonto and u had our differences, many people rejoiced and threw unnecessary tantrums. Today, we remain good friends and have moved past those issues.
 
Now, the same attitude is being shown towards Senator Ned Nwoko and his wife, Regina. Rather, than showing empathy or wishing them well, some people appear to find joy in their challenges.
 
One wonders if such individuals are free from their own family problems or simply driven by envy and idle talk.
 
Every marriage faces its own trials and misunderstandings.
 
I strongly believe they will resolve their differences because senator Ned is a good man who always prioritizes his family above all else.
 
Let us learn to support and uplift others instead of celebrating their difficult moments.”

Real Madrid edge nine-man Getafe to reclaim La Liga lead

Real Madrid battled to a narrow but crucial 1-0 win over Getafe in a tense Madrid derby at the Coliseum, returning to the top of the La Liga table after a hard-fought encounter.

Xabi Alonso made a bold selection call by benching Vinicius Junior and Arda Guler, opting instead to start Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo Goes alongside Kylian Mbappe.

The Frenchman missed an early chance when his effort was denied by Getafe goalkeeper David Soria.

The hosts, however, nearly broke the deadlock through Alex Sancris, whose fierce volley narrowly missed Thibaut Courtois’ post. Despite efforts, both teams went into halftime without a goal.

Vinicius sparks chaos as Getafe go down to Nlnine

Madrid increased their pressure after the break, and the introductions of Guler and Vinicius Junior changed the game.

Moments after coming on, Vinicius was involved in a clash that saw Getafe’s Allan Nyom receive a red card for an off-the-ball incident.

Minutes later, Guler set up Mbappe, who finally broke the deadlock with a fine finish past Soria.

Getafe’s frustration grew when Alex received a second yellow card for a reckless tackle on Vinicius, reducing the hosts to nine men.

Courtois preserves Madrid’s lead

Despite their numerical disadvantage, Getafe came close to snatching an equalizer deep into stoppage time, but Courtois produced a vital save to deny Abu Kamara.

The win sends Real Madrid back to the top of La Liga, two points ahead of Barcelona.
