I Was So Young And Innocent Then – Rosy Meurer Reacts After Netizens Dug Up Old Video Of Her Calling Tonto Dikeh Her ‘Family’

Rosy Meurer, the Nollywood actress, has responded to the resurfaced video showing her referring to Tonto Dikeh as her family.

Recall that Tonto Dikeh was married to Olakunle Churchill who is now Rosy’s husband.

Earlier, 626Blaze reported that Rosy had posted a video on her Instagram page, claiming she didn’t know Tonto at all and that she had never met the actress while Tonto was married to Churchill.

Rosy said she never had any feelings for Churchill at the time and that Churchill was like a brother to her and was helping her and her family before they got married.

Following this, social media users dug up an old video of Rosy calling Tonto’s family and saying she had hung out with the actress.

Now reacting to this, Rosy, in her Instagram story, claimed she was young and innocent and being dragged into something that didn’t concern her, hence the video. Now that she is older and wiser, she is speaking her real truth.

Rosy made it clear that no one can intimidate her and reemphasised that she knew about the reunion and reconciliation before it hit the internet, and that she has been 100 per cent in support.

“You want me to hang on to the nonsense old video I made years ago, where I explained all sorts of things due to the fact that I was so young and innocent.

The whole media thing was new to me, how I got dragged in wetin no concern me then, something I saw and was as lost as everyone else.

My husband, who was like a brother to me then, had to apologise to my family because he knew I knew absolutely nothing about what was said.

I was dragged into violence by force. With all the pressure, the PR team will make you say so many things, then, if you don’t feel it’s right.

Right now, whatever I say is THE REAL TRUTH.

I am older, I am wiser, and no one can intimidate me.

No PR team can force me to say what they believe will be better than my truth.

No one can control what I will say.

It is my life, and I know better than anyone else.

I’m not here to sweet-talk anyone or make anyone like me.

If you like, bring out videos of 1000 years ago where I said this or that, it doesn’t change my reality.

I knew my husband before he got married.

Why I no follow at that time.

So I waited for him to marry before he entered my eyes.

If you don’t know a story, shhhh”.

Court Adjourns Nigerian Rapper, Odumodublvck Alleged Assault Trial, Sets New Trial Date

The FCT High Court sitting in Life Camp, Abuja, has postponed the trial of Nigerian rapper Tochukwu Ojogwu, widely known as “Odumodublvck,” in an assault and battery case until April 8, 2026.

The claimant’s counsel, Uchenna Ojembe, and the defendant’s counsel, Taiwo Akinsulie, were in court for the trial of Odumodublvck but due to the ongoing renovation in the courtroom, the case was adjourned.

However, the counsels agreed on a date which is convenient for both parties to enable them commence the case.

The News agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the claimant, a Nigerian musician, Ogbogiri Okey Levi, popularly known as “Kraziecent” had instituted a suit against Odumodublvck for violently assaulting and battering him in a public event sometime in December 2024.

Kraziecent in a civil suit alleged that while he was peacefully taking pictures and videos of himself at the event, Odumodublvck violently assaulted him for no reason.

He said that the defendant’s actions inflicted emotional distress on him and his iPhone 15 Pro Max was intentionally damaged in the process.

The claimant went further to seek an order of the court directing the defendant to pay the medical expenses incurred during his treatment.

Kraziecent also sought an order directing Odumodublvck to pay him N2 billion for damages.

He also sought an order directing the defendant to issue a public apology to him, through all the defendant’s social media platforms, including two national newspapers, among other claims in the suit.

Rita Edochie has now responded, reminding Judy that she married Yul Edochie, a man who was already married after she got pregnant for him amid their extramarital affair.

Rita told Judy that she is not in a position to advice women when she is guilty of all that she is condemning.

There Will Be No Extension For 2026 UTME Registration – JAMB Declares

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has confirmed that there will be no extension to the registration deadline for the 2026 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME). Candidates have been urged to complete their registration by February 26 to avoid missing the examination.

In a notice issued on Tuesday, the examination body announced that the sale of e-PINs, a mandatory requirement for registration, will close at midnight on Thursday, February 26, 2026.

According to the board, registration at accredited Computer-Based Test centres for candidates who have already purchased their e-PINs will end two days later, on Saturday, February 28, 2026.

As of February 17, JAMB disclosed that more than 1.5 million candidates had successfully registered nationwide.

Despite the figure, the board expressed concern that many eligible applicants had yet to take advantage of the exercise, noting that registration centres across the country were operating at barely 30 per cent of their daily capacity.

JAMB stated that it has the capacity to register about 100,000 candidates daily, far above the current turnout at centres.

“The Board wishes to clearly state that there will be no extension of the registration deadline,” the statement emphasised.

The examination body explained that its timetable forms part of a nationally coordinated calendar agreed upon by all examination agencies in the country.

It added that the UTME registration window was carefully structured to ensure a seamless transition to other public examinations scheduled to follow.

“Consequently, there is no available window for any extension, even if the Board were inclined to consider one,” it said.

JAMB cautioned that candidates who delay registration until the final days may encounter avoidable challenges, stressing that appeals would not be entertained once the deadline expires.

The board described the early warning as a proactive step to ensure that no serious candidate is shut out of the process due to procrastination.

With only days left before the vending deadline, prospective candidates were urged to obtain their e-PINs and proceed to accredited centres to complete their registration.

“All prospective candidates are urged to act now,” the statement concluded.

The 2026 UTME is expected to attract millions of applicants seeking admission into tertiary institutions across Nigeria, making strict adherence to the registration timeline crucial for aspirants nationwide.

Pastors Now Behave Like Content Creators – Comedian Funnybone Slams Clergymen Who Like Calling Themselves Out Online

Comedian Funnybone, whose real name is Chibunna Stanley, has condemned new-generation clergymen for frequently calling out their peers on social media.

In a post shared on Instagram today, Funnybone said their actions is both shameful and exhausting to watch.

He wondered why clergymen cannot pick their phones and call to address any issue they may have with their colleagues.

He added that if they are not ashamed, they should know that other Christians are ashamed on their behalf.

He wrote; ‘’Dear new generation preachers,

This recent trend of dragging one another on social media is tasteless and deeply embarrassing to the Body of Christ. Everyone is wielding the Bible to justify personal excesses and unnecessary drama. It is both shameful and exhausting to watch.

If your founding fathers had been this dramatic, you probably wouldn’t have had a congregation to pastor today.

What happened to picking up the phone, calling that pastor privately, and resolving issues as spiritual men? Must everything become a public spectacle? Can this just stop?

If you are not embarrassed, please know that we are embarrassed on your behalf.

Pastors behaving like content creators online… sigh”

2026 Ramadan Fast Begins On Wednesday(Today) As Moon Is Sighted In Nigeria

The Sultan of Sokoto and President of the Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs in Nigeria, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar III, has announced the sighting of the moon, marking the beginning of the 2026 Ramadan fast in Nigeria on Wednesday, 18 February.

The confirmation was issued on Tuesday by the Shehu of Borno, Shehu Abubakar Ibn Garbai El-Kanemi, who represented the Sultan.

He disclosed that verified reports of moon sightings were received from various parts of the country and were carefully authenticated and accepted by the Sultanate Council, thereby confirming the commencement of the holy month.

“After due verification and authentication of the reports received from across the country, the Sultanate Council has accepted the sighting of the new moon. Consequently, Wednesday, 18th February 2026, marks the first day of Ramadan 1447AH,” the statement said.

The statement from the sultanate explained that the Shehu of Borno, in line with established tradition, acted on behalf of the Sultanate Council, in announcing the date for the commencement of the Ramadan fast due to the temporary absence of the Sultan.

The Sultan urged Muslims nationwide to dedicate the holy month to fervent prayers, spiritual reflection, and acts of charity, while seeking divine guidance and peace for Nigeria.

“Ramadan is a period of sacrifice, self-discipline and compassion. I call on all Muslims to use this sacred month to pray for the unity, stability and progress of our dear country, and for wisdom and guidance for our leaders at all levels,” he said.

Ramadan is a month-long fast observed daily from dawn to sunset by millions of Muslims across Nigeria and the world, during which there are increased religious activities including prayers, charity works and deep reflection.
