Mide Martins Isn’t a Wicked Woman – Afeez Owo Hails Wife

Actor and producer Afeez Owo has opened up about his unique relationship with his wife and colleague, Mide.

According to him, Mide is a wonderful partner who is neither strict nor “wicked” at home or in public.
Afeez stated this while speaking in a recent interview on Oyinmomo TV.
Afeez opened up about their 22-year marriage, revealing that the couple share unique and unconventional pet names.
He explained that their union thrives on balance rather than extremes of strictness or calmness, attributing their lasting relationship to God’s faithfulness and the equilibrium they have maintained over the years.
He said, “I call her Iya Alekuleja, and she calls me Baba Elere. Those aren’t the usual pet names like dear or honey, but it works for us because of the closeness we share.
Our marriage isn’t the kind where the husband has to be overly strict or the wife has to remain overly calm; we’ve built it on balance, and God has been faithful to us.
 
“22 years of marriage is no small thing. Ajoke, thank you for putting up with me. I swear to God, my wife is not a wicked woman, whether at home or in public”.
The couple has been married since 2003 and has two beautiful daughters together.

Runs Girls, Influencers to Pay Tax – FG

The Chairman of the Presidential Committee on Fiscal Policy and Tax Reforms, Taiwo Oyedele has revealed that runs girls will pay tax in the new tax reform laws.
According to him, this is because the new tax reform laws make no distinction between legitimate and illegitimate sources of income.
The reforms, signed into law in June, consolidate four major legislations: the Nigerian Tax Act (NTA), the Nigerian Tax Administration Act (NTAA), the Nigerian Revenue Service (Establishment) Act (NRSEA), and the Joint Revenue Board (Establishment) Act (JRBEA)
The NRSEA and JRBEA will take effect on 26 June 2025, while the NTA and NTAA will commence on 1 January 2026.
Speaking during a “Tax Compliance and Planning” session hosted by the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) and streamed live on YouTube on 26 September, Oyedele stressed that anyone earning income from providing services would be required to pay tax.
 
“If someone is rendering a service, such a person will pay tax. There’s this extreme example that you probably should not even say in a church, but just to bring it home, if somebody is doing runs with girls. They go and look for men to sleep with. You know, that’s a service. They will pay tax on it. One thing about the tax law is that it does not separate whether what you are doing is legitimate. It doesn’t even ask you. It just asks you whether you have an income. Did you get it from renting a service or providing a good, you pay tax? So if you give upkeep to anyone, they’re free. They won’t pay tax.”
 
He added that the reforms also extend to social media influencers and Nigerians working remotely for foreign companies, especially those paid in foreign currency.
Oyedele, however, emphasized that the new laws are designed to ease the tax burden on 90 per cent of Nigerian workers, reflecting the government’s broader efforts to generate revenue amid dwindling oil income and growing fiscal pressures.

The Narrative That Men Are Not important Is Dangerous – Seyi Shay Warns

Popular Nigerian singer, Seyi Shay, has kicked against those claiming that men are not important.
According to her, such a narrative is dangerous.
The music star claimed that a lot of women who have a father figure in their lives growing up are more stable with better values than the ones that don’t.
She noted that the narrative that “men are not important” is only a decoy to create more broken homes.
Speaking in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, she said, “Most women who have a father figure in thier lives are generally more stable. They had a lot more access to good education and good morals growing up than the ones that don’t.
 
“Also, there is a bar when they want to get married or when they chose male friends. All these narrative of men are not important is bullsh*t because that’s just an agenda for more divisions in our homes so that we can churn out more broken souls and more lost females and males.”
The 39-year-old singer said she is grateful she didn’t had a daughter in her 20s, stressing that she now has the experience and capacity to raise child better.
She explained that with her experience, she would be able to guide her daughter as not to make the same mistakes she made when it comes to men, friendship, and other endeavours.
