AFCON: Drogba Celebrates With Osimhen After Nigeria’s 2-0 Win Over Cameroon

Didier Drogba, the world-renowned Chelsea legend, celebrated with Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen after Nigeria secured a 2-0 victory over Cameroon in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) round of 16 on Saturday night.

Osimhen gave an impressive display in Nigeria’s attack, as two goals from Ademola Lookman sealed the victory for Jose Peseiro’s side against Cameroon.

On Saturday, reports claimed that Osimhen had already decided to join Chelsea at the end of the season.

Later that night, Osimhen met up with one of Chelsea’s legendary strikers, Drogba at AFCON, where he was congratulated by the Ivorian after Nigeria defeated Cameroon.

The pair also spoke together on Ivorian network NCI where Osimhen said: “It is an honour to play on the land of Didier Drogba, my idol.”

Osimhen will now hope to lead Nigeria to victory when they tackle Angola in the AFCON quarter-final on February 2.

I Was Framed – Singer, Lil Frosh Begs Davido For Career Revival After Assault Case

Lil Frosh, a Nigerian singer who is a former signee of Davido Music Worldwide (DMW), has publicly appealed to his former boss for a second chance.

Recall that in 2020, Lil Frosh was accused of assault by his ex, Gift Camille.

Camille’s brother, Michael in a series of posts on social media, alleged that Lil Frosh assaulted Camille on several occasions.

He shared pictures of his sister’s badly bruised face.

The singer was later arraigned before a Yaba magistrate court and remanded in Ikoyi prison.

Reacting to the development, Davido terminated Lil Frosh’s contract with his record label, DMW.

Camille later withdrew her case against Lil Frosh in 2022, after settling out of court.

However, on Saturday in a post on his Instagram page, the singer claimed innocence and begged Davido for another chance to revive his career.

“God knows I didn’t beat Gemini, I was framed, I was blackmailed. I still can’t get my career after all I paid her because of the lies that were told against me.

“Nobody gave me listening ears. I tried to explain to my ex-boss @davido but he didn’t want to listen because of his zero tolerance for hitting women. Help me beg Davido to give me a chance again.”

Why I Didn’t Divorce My Husband – Actress, Jaiye Kuti

Actress and filmmaker Jaiye Kuti generated considerable attention recently when she revealed that numerous married women, herself included, have contemplated leaving their marriages.

 

She disclosed that she personally attempted to exit her marriage on three occasions.

However, in an interview with Saturday Beats, she stated that the only way to handle challenges in marriage was through understanding and forgiveness.

She said, “I actually wanted people to know that marriage is not a bed of roses. I want women to know that understanding has 150 per cent to do in the success of every marriage, because love is not enough. Yes, you need to love one another. But, there will be a time when you will look at each other, and wonder how you got married in the first place. That is the point where understanding comes in. Both spouses will have to understand that everybody is human, and are prone to mistakes. If the parties involved are not ready to forgive each other, they won’t be able to sustain the marriage.

“What if your husband cheats? Even men that don’t cheat could have other issues. I have been married for over 20 years. If I add the period of our courtship, that will be 25 years. My husband actually sponsored my education at the University of Lagos before we got married in 2000.”

The actress added that young ones should have it at the back of their minds that they would not get 100 per cent happiness, love or romance.

Reacting to women who claim that their marriages will not have challenges because of their religious beliefs, Kuti said, “There is nothing like Jesus will not let my marriage be like that. It (marriage) has been ordained to have those challenges, whether one likes it or not, and whether one is a Christian, Muslim or even atheists. Marriages usually have challenges, and one just has to take it that way.”
