Pastor Chris Okafor’s Daughter To Press Charges Against Him For Alleged Ass@ult – Actress Doris Ogala Claims

Amara, the second daughter of the founder of Grace Nation Bible Ministry, Pastor Chris Okafor, is reportedly preparing to file charges against him over an alleged ass@ult.

This is coming amid his controversial feud with actress Doris Ogala.

Recall that Doris had called him out last December for not fulfilling his marriage promise to her after eight years of their intimate relationship.

The actress further accused the clergyman of sleeping with married church members, among other allegations.

In response, Okafor arrested the actress.

Sharing her experience in police detention after her release, Doris rejected the alleged $10,000 settlement fee from the pastor after her private moment with him at the police station.

However, in an updated post on her Instagram page on Friday, Doris disclosed that Amara is now ready to press charges against Okafor for physically ass@ulting her.

Sharing several videos of how Amara was allegedly ass@ulted, Doris claimed that Amara was stabbed multiple times after confronting Okafor for bringing home married church members.

Doris, who claimed to have a close relationship with Amara, accused Okafor of stripping her naked while beating her.

She wrote, along with the ass@ult video:

“This is Amara, Chris Okafor’s second daughter. How can a father do this to his own daughter? Haba, this is too much.

“Amarachi witnessed a lot of atrocities going on at their house, bringing different church members. This particular one has to do with the mother of his current wife. Not knowing there was a camera planted. God.

“I will tell the full gist later. He beat up Amara, got her naked, stabbed her everywhere. This is an attempted murder gush, just because she caught you sleeping with a married church member. THANK GOD AMARA IS READY TO PRESS CHARGES NOW,” she revealed.

Davido Withdraws From Custody Case, Loses Legal Fight For Daughter

Afrobeats star Davido (David Adeleke) has announced that he is withdrawing from the ongoing custody battle over his daughter, Imade. The singer also expressed strong dissatisfaction with how the court proceedings unfolded.

In a post shared on X late Friday, the artiste clarified that he never sought sole custody of his daughter, contrary to widespread speculation.

According to him, his request was strictly for joint custody.

“I never asked for full custody … I asked for joint custody. Nobody won, nobody lost but Imade … so I don’t know why some pple r celebrating. There’s nothing to celebrate,” he wrote.

Davido further disclosed that he opted to withdraw from the case after what he described as an unacceptable turn during courtroom exchanges. He alleged that references were made to his late son, which he described as deeply distressing.

“I’ve decided to drop the case because … until she brought out her last card! MY DECEASED SON! THAT’S A NO NO! Lowest blow!” he stated.

He added that his actions were driven by love and responsibility toward his daughter, stressing that his efforts would not go unnoticed in the future.

“My daughter will grow up knowing I fought for her … let’s move on. One love!” he wrote.

The singer also took to his Instagram story to criticise the opposing legal team, alleging unprofessional conduct during the proceedings.

“I disgraced you in the courtroom … I was teaching you your work … and then went on to mention my son. Like I said in the courtroom, I pray you never go through what me and my wife have gone through ever,”Davido wrote.

These reactions followed earlier posts by Lagos-based legal practitioner, Maruf Muhammed, who had drawn public attention to what he described as tense moments at the Lagos State High Court, Yaba.

“Davido in High Court, Yaba now! Come and see drama in court. The lawyer made 001 lose his patience during cross-examination o! Be you never so high, the law is above you,”Muhammed posted.

When queried by another user about the matter before the court, it was clarified that the session related to the custody of Davido’s daughter, Imade.

Imade was recently spotted spending quality time with her father following her triumph at a talent competition, a moment that delighted fans and reinforced the shared commitment of both parents to her well-being.

The long-standing custody clash between Davido and his daughter’s mother remains under the spotlight, as fans and well-wishers suggested peaceful co-parenting.

Nigerian Celebrity Stylist, Veekee James Under Fire For Making Her Baby Registry Public

Veekee James, the popular Nigerian celebrity stylist, has faced widespread criticism over a baby registry she shared online.

A baby registry is a curated wish list created by expectant parents that outlines all the items they need, want, or plan to purchase for their new baby.

It also serves as a guide for friends and family members to ensure the parents receive useful gifts, reduce the risk of duplicates, and help with the financial burden of preparing for a new child.

Veekee James, in a video on her Instagram page on Tuesday, announced that some friends have been requesting her baby registry and that it is also important to share it with her fans and followers.

However, Veekee’s action sparked backlash online, with some netizens claiming that sharing the registry with the public is unnecessary.

@iamtheyounggod commented, “What people fail to realize is that even the richest of Nigerians is still a Nigerian. There is a poverty in the spirit that never goes away regardless of how much they make. Stay woke.”

@_chiceeeyyy wrote, “I like veekeee James but this is greed You have rich family and friends that can easily pull this off and you want to still collect from your fans ? Is it because they are gullible ? Imagine pouring a cup of water into an ocean.”

@OnerareUnfiltered wrote, “Veekee James has turned her entire life into a sponsored ad.”

@Uzothemaverick1 wrote, “What is it with Nigerians and Oju kokoro? Even the well to do ones amongst us are still greedy, tufiakwa!.”

@sonofomenuko said, “No be to collect gift from Nigerians be the problem, na wetin dem go talk later be the issue. It’s super weird posting your baby registry on a public platform and inviting the public to go shop for you. Weird even for a poor person, much weirder for someone like her. Tueh!”

@adaarrh wrote, “Baby registry is okay to do but keep it to your friends and family as this will prevent getting the same thing twice and what you don’t want . Why are you including fans to get something for you? She has enough money nau”

@Prynnxx said, “This is very normal in the West. Instead of buying random shii the couples prolly wouldn’t use. Registry is good for weddings too.”

Anthony Joshua’s Boxing Future Is Uncertain After Fatal Crash In Nigeria – Eddie Hearn Says

According to his promoter Eddie Hearn, Anthony Joshua may consider retiring from boxing following a fatal car crash in Nigeria that claimed the lives of two of his close friends.

Hearn said there are no guarantees the former heavyweight champion will return to the ring as he continues to recover physically and emotionally from the December accident in Ogun State.

Recall that Joshua had travelled to Nigeria to visit family after stopping Jake Paul with a single punch in his previous bout. However, tragedy struck on 29 December 2025 when the vehicle he was travelling in collided with a stationary truck along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

Sina Ghami, Joshua’s strength and conditioning coach, and Latif ‘Latz’ Ayodele, one of his trainers, died in the crash. Joshua survived and was taken to hospital for treatment before later returning to the United Kingdom. He subsequently attended the burial ceremonies of both men.

Speaking to First Round TV, Hearn admitted Joshua’s future in the sport remains unclear.

“I don’t think there is any guarantees he fights again, but at the same time, I expect him to because it’s something that he loves. It’s something he can carry those guys with him, though as well, and it’s something he wants to do,” Hearn said.

He added that the impact of the crash went beyond emotional trauma.

“From a boxing sense, physically, it wasn’t easy what he went through either. People probably don’t realise the extent of what he’s been through. He’s been training, but he’s not ready yet, and he won’t be for a while to return to boxing training,” the boxing promoter noted.

Hearn disclosed that Joshua had been preparing for a March fight, with a potential bout against fellow Briton Tyson Fury under consideration. Those plans have now been shelved.

“We were gearing up for him to fight in March and then fight Tyson Fury. Obviously, that’s not going to happen now. I don’t know if it will ever happen. In the next few months, he will turn up the dial on training and see where he is at on that,” Hearn said.

Fury is scheduled to return to action in April against Arslanbek Makhmudov after more than a year out of the ring.

Everything I Have Today Is My Sweat – Nollywood Actress, Kemity Denies Trading S*x For Movie Roles

Oluwakemisola Apesin, the Nollywood actress, who is widely known as Kemity, has addressed claims that she advanced in the film industry through s*xual favors.

In a post on her Instagram page, she insisted that her success is the result of hard work.

Kemity reflected on her journey in Nollywood, sharing old photos and recalling her early career.

She said she never exchanged her body for movie roles or opportunities and has always earned her way independently.

Before entering the film industry, she owned two wine shops and worked as a receptionist at Masters Hotel in Ayobo, supporting herself while pursuing her passion for acting.

Kemity explained that her career path involved learning multiple skills, including acting and makeup artistry, which she used to support productions and sustain herself financially.

She stressed that every achievement in her career has been through her effort and dedication, guided by her upbringing and strong family values.

The actress, who is also a mother of two daughters, urged young actresses not to be misled by shortcuts or false promises in the industry.

She emphasized that talent, discipline, consistency, and hard work are enough to succeed.

“I have never exchanged s*x for opportunity. Before I even met my boss, I already had two wine shops where I was selling wine.

“I have always worked for my money. I am a mother. I have two daughters I am raising and training with dignity and strong values. I cannot build their future on something dirty. Everything I am today is my sweat. Everything I have achieved is hard work and God’s grace.”

Why I Banned The Importation Of Rice – Ex-President, Obasanjo

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has attributed Nigeria’s reliance on rice imports to the 1979 civilian administration’s decision to lift a ban he had previously put in place.

Obasanjo was the military Head of State who handed over power to Alhaji Shehu Shagari, democratically elected President of the Second Republic.

Speaking on Thursday in Abuja at the International Memorial Lecture and Leadership Conference marking the 50th anniversary of the assassination of former Head of State, General Murtala Muhammed, Obasanjo said his government had been on the verge of achieving self-sufficiency in rice production for Nigeria before handing over to civilians.

“By the time we left in July 1979, we wanted to be self-sufficient in rice production. We asked that a report be prepared on what was in the fields. The report showed that we would be self-sufficient that year,” he said.

Based on the findings, Obasanjo explained, his administration banned the importation of rice before leaving office in October 1979.

“When the civilian administration came in, one of the first things they did was to lift the ban on rice importation so they could allocate import licences to their supporters and political associates,” he added.

Obasanjo cited what he described as a notorious case of abuse involving a politically connected importer who inflated the cost of a rice contract in order to extract kickbacks.

“Let me give you an example. One of the barons who obtained a rice import licence from America ordered rice and then asked the suppliers to add $5 million to the cost. They did. They added the $5 million and supplied the rice. He then went back to New York and demanded $2.5 million out of the $5 million. They refused and gave him only $1 million. He reported the matter to the Nigerian embassy and to the Nigerian representative at the UN, who contacted the suppliers. The suppliers said they did not understand what the issue was.

“Eventually, the suppliers explained that the man had asked them to add $5 million to the cost and that, without doing so, they would have lost the contract. They took the risk and secured the deal. He wanted $2.5 million but had taken no risk, so they gave him $1 million.

“The ambassador said he felt like digging a hole and sinking into it. That was your country,” he said.

The former head of state added: “Since the lifting of the rice import ban in 1979, we have not recovered from it. That is why we are still importing rice today. These are the kinds of things that go wrong, and then we ask whether Africa has come of age. I wonder.”

Anthony Joshua Honours Friends Who Were K!lled In Ogun Accident With New Tattoos

British-Nigerian heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua has honoured two of his close friends, Sina Ghami and Latif “Latz” Ayodele, by tattooing their names on his body. The tribute comes months after the pair lost their lives in a car accident on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway in Ogun State.

The development was revealed by a London-based tattoo studio, Fulham Tattoo, which shared photos of the artwork on Instagram on Thursday.

According to the studio, the former two-time heavyweight champion visited their shop unannounced for the session, marking his first time at the facility.

“Huge thank you to two-time heavyweight champion of the world Anthony Joshua for unexpectedly and unannounced walking through the door a few weeks ago for his first visit with us at Fulham Tattoo London … what a walk in,” the post read.

The tribute tattoos were dedicated to Ghami and Ayodele, who were both members of Joshua’s training team.

Recall that Ghami and Ayodele lost their lives in December after the vehicle they were travelling in collided with a truck on a road near Lagos.

Joshua, who was also in the vehicle at the time of the accident, survived but sustained injuries. He was subsequently hospitalised before being discharged and returning to the United Kingdom.

The late Ghami served as Joshua’s strength and conditioning coach, while Ayodele was one of his trainers.

Despite the emotional toll, Joshua later attended the funerals of both men, joining family members, friends and members of the boxing community in mourning their de@ths.

Recall that the Lexus Jeep conveying the boxer and his associates rammed into a stationary truck on December 29, 2025, along the busy expressway.

The tragic incident sparked widespread reactions across Nigeria and the international boxing scene, with fans and colleagues paying glowing tributes to the deceased members of Joshua’s team.

Many described Ghami and Ayodele as dedicated professionals who played key roles in Joshua’s career, while sympathising with the boxer over the painful loss.
