Nigerian Actress, Kiekie Reveals How Prayer Ignited Her Career Turnaround (Video)

Oluwabukunmi Adeaga-Ilori, the Nigerian actress, media personality and fashion entrepreneur, who is better known as Kiekie, has shared a deeply personal testimony about how prayer and solitude reshaped the course of her career.

Speaking on the Off The Top podcast, Kiekie recounted a particularly challenging period in 2018, when, at age 28, her fashion efforts seemed stalled despite the support of her parents.

“I locked myself up for days,” she said. “No food, no bathing, no change of clothes. I was practically on the floor crying. I told God, ‘I need you to turn my life around.’”

During her retreat, she disconnected completely from friends, even telling them she had traveled to avoid being found. She spent hours in uninterrupted prayer, clad only in a pink boubou, relying on her bed and the floor as her only companions.

Kiekie said her breakthrough came unexpectedly on the third or fourth day when she received a phone call from a woman who wanted her to sew clothes.

“I hadn’t even had a bath. I just brushed and ran to Ikeja. That was the beginning,” she recalled.

She described the years that followed as “fantastic,” noting that the single moment sparked a transformation that continues to shape her business and life.

“From 2018 till now, it has been fantastic—fantastic,” she said, reflecting on the journey with gratitude.

Burna Boy Abruptly Cancels Two US Tour Dates Amid Backlash Over Fan Ejection Controversy

Burna Boy has unexpectedly cancelled a major stop on his No Sign of Weakness U.S. tour, originally slated for November 28, 2025, at The Armory in Minneapolis.

The last-minute cancellation was confirmed on the Ticketmaster website on Thursday, just one day before the concert.

Similarly, another concert scheduled for Chicago on December 1, 2025, has also been cancelled.

While tour organisers have not provided a specific reason for the cancellation, the decision comes in the wake of public criticism directed at the Grammy-winning artiste.

The backlash stems from a recent viral incident at his concerts in Colorado, where he ejected a couple in the front row for sleeping during his performance.

The lovers were seen leaving the auditorium to a mix of boos and cheers from the crowd.

The incident sparked widespread discussion, which intensified after an Instagram live session where Burna Boy stated he only wants supporters who buy his tickets.

The criticism intensified when it was later revealed that the woman in question was reportedly grieving a recent personal loss.

In the early hours of Friday, Burna Boy confirmed the cancellation via his Instagram Story. He shared a direct link from the ticketing website, which clearly showed that the two shows were cancelled while the rest of the tour dates remained unaffected.

You Are Not Talented, You Have No Husband Or Successful Business – Lizzy Anjorin Fires Back At Dayo Amusa (Video)

Lizzy Anjorin, the popular Nollywood actress, has issued a stern warning in response to her colleague, Dayo Amusa, who slammed her earlier.

626Blaze had earlier reported that the whole drama started when Amusa, along with Iyabo Ojo, taunted Lizzy over her feud with Ojo at her son’s birthday party.

In response, Lizzy Anjorin had lashed out at them, raining abuses and curses on them. She had also rained abuses on Dayo’s one-year-old son.

Responding to her rants, Amusa made a fierce voice note, warning her to never mention her son in any of her posts or social media dramas. She mentioned that though she had known Anjorin for about 20 years, they weren’t friends.

Now, Lizzy has reacted to Dayo Amusa’s call-out. Responding to her on Instagram, Lizzy noted that she doesn’t come for people unless they attack her. She said if anyone breaks the rule, they will regret it for the rest of their life.

Anjorin said she was raised by a good mum who taught her how to mind her business. She claimed she had never insulted Dayo, even though she had thrown many shades at her.

The controversial actress said that unless Dayo correct the wrong she did to her, the battle line has been drawn. She noted that Amusa isn’t at her level, doesn’t have talent, and is not the husband of any successful businessperson.

“I hope you know my rules and regulations. Rule 1: I will never come for you first, att@ck or disrespect you. If you break that rule, you will regr£t it for the rest of your life due to what I will say to reply you. It will be verbal for verbal. I was raised by a good mum who taught me how to mind my business. I have never insulted you, even though you threw so many shades at me. There is no way I will reply you that you will not go to court.

Until you correct the wrong you did to me, the battle line has been drawn. You can’t be laughing in the comment section when someone was bringing me down. The day Jigan called you a barren woman, how would you feel if I laughed at the comment section? You are not talented, you don’t have a husband, and you have no successful business. I don’t even know you exist. We are not on the same level”.

Former Minister of Sports Solomon Dalung has recounted a chilling encounter with a bandit he shared on TikTok some time ago.

Speaking in an interview with News Central, Dalung stated that he asked the bandit why they were k!lling people, and he replied that vigilantes also k!lled them and took their cattle.

According to the former minister, the bandit claimed that this made them take up arms and decide to stay in the bush.

He said, ‘’I was on TikTok one day and a young bandit, trained in the bush. He said he is a bandit in the bush. Then I asked him; why do you k!ll people?’ and he said ‘’well, they were also k!lled and their cattles taken away by the vigilantes and so they took up arms and are in the bush.

“And I said ‘But you k!ll also k!ll fulanis like you and rustle their cows’ and he told me ‘’look, the only Fulanis they know are the ones in the bush. Anyone that is in the town is not a fulani’ If they see them, they will k!ll them.’’

Dalung said he asked how to stop this trend of attacking and maiming people. He said the bandit responded saying they are up for negotiations for them to drop their weapons.

‘’The confidence he was talking with was quite scary,”
Dalung said.

He called on the National Assembly to amend the constitution so Nigerians can bear arms to protect themselves.

This Should Be The Last Time You Mention My Baby’s Name In Your Video – Actress Dayo Amusa Blasts Lizzy Anjorin

Dayo Amusa, the popular Nollywood actress, has issued a stern warning to fellow actress Lizzy Anjorin after fresh online drama erupted in the wake of her son’s first birthday celebration.

The clash followed a grand party Dayo hosted for her baby boy, who turned one.

The event drew many familiar faces from the movie industry, including Iyabo Ojo and Mercy Aigbe.

Clips from the party trended widely, as viewers claimed the band’s lyrics sounded like subtle jabs aimed at Lizzy.

Lizzy later went on Instagram Live on Thursday, accusing Dayo and Iyabo of disrespect and insisting the performance was targeted at her.

In reaction, Dayo sent a heated voice note that is now making the rounds online, warning Lizzy to stop involving her child in any online drama.

She made it clear that they are not friends and reminded Lizzy of past issues that made her distance herself, even when Lizzy once tried to visit her after childbirth.

Dayo said she responded through Instagram messages because she did not have Lizzy’s phone number, the same way Lizzy once reached out to congratulate her after her son’s birth.

She said, “I don’t want to have issues with you. We both are parallel lines that can never meet. We are not friends. You called me out after I delivered my baby. You also said you wanted to visit me and the baby, but I declined honorably because of your fracas stuff.

“Let this be the last time in your entire life that you will ever mention my baby’s name in your video. I don’t joke with my child. If you try it again, my reaction will be outside social media and you will not like it.

“Stay on your lane and respect yourself. Don’t use my child for your video shenanigans, if not, people will feel pity for you by the time I am done with you.

“I don’t ever want to have anything to do with you.”

BBNaija Star, Boma Reveals He Spent Over ₦2 Million Before Entering The House (Video)

Boma Akpore has revealed what truly happened behind the scenes before entering the Big Brother Naija house and explained why he felt frustrated after the show.

Speaking in an interview “With Chude”, he explained that many people assumed he had it easy, but the amount he spent even before getting selected was already overwhelming.

According to him, while some people only paid for transport to auditions, he had to take a flight, pay for a hotel for a whole month, and buy brand-new clothes for a show he wasn’t even sure he would get into.

He said the hotel bill alone cost about ₦70,000 per day at the time, and by the time he entered the house, he had already spent over ₦2.1 million.

Boma added that after the show, the backlash made things worse because brands suddenly backed out of deals for things he said he didn’t even do.

He said some endorsements came close, but just before payment something would happen online and the deal would crash.

According to him, people would accuse him of things they never actually saw, and the same people complaining about how the country works were contributing to the problem.

Boma said the whole situation left him angry because he had spent his own money, taken big risks, and still ended up being judged over narratives he insists were never backed by evidence.
