My Last Relationship Was In University – Falz

Nigerian rapper and singer, Folarin Falana, AKA Falz has opened up that he last dated many years ago while in the university.
The 33-year-old single man stated this during a recent interview with Naija 102.7 FM, Lagos.

Explaining why he refused to date, he said that he’s “being careful” not to marry wrongly.
He admitted that his parents, especially his father, Femi Falana, are pressuring him to get married but he won’t allow himself to be pressured into getting married.
The ‘Marry Me’ crooner spoke during a recent interview with Naija 102.7 FM, Lagos.
Falz said: “I’m not yet married. I’m single to stupor. My dad expresses concern over my marital status daily. If I greet my dad good morning, he would say the morning will be good if you were married.
 
“Both my mum and dad are deeply concerned about my status, although my dad pressures me the most. My mum is a bit calm now. It seems like she has passed the baton to my dad. No one can pressure me into getting married, not even my dad [laughs].”
The rapper stated that the last time he was in a serious relationship was during his undergraduate days.
He explained that his status as a celebrity makes finding the right woman for marriage difficult.
He said: “Currently, I’m not dating anyone. I’m a straight man. I like women. But for a while now, I haven’t experienced a serious relationship. I was still in the university the last time I had a serious relationship.
 
“My lifestyle as a celebrity is difficult to find someone to commit to. Also, there are a lot of happenings in the industry that make having a booming career and a healthy relationship seem difficult. So because of that, I’m trying to be careful. There’s no issue. I’m just trying to be careful.”

Marriage Is Not Designed to Give Happiness – ID Cabasa

Veteran record producer, Olumide Ogunade aka ID Cabasa has revealed the true purpose of marriage.
Speaking in a recent interview with Echoo Room, he stated that the purpose of marriage is to give happiness or emotional satisfaction.
According to ID Cabasa, marriage is about fulfilling a divine purpose with God at the centre.
He emphasized that submission is a crucial element, often misunderstood as surrender.
He said: “The purpose of marriage, unfortunately, has been lost. I would say that the purpose was not to give you happiness or satisfy your feelings.
 
“Happiness and every other thing is supposed to come as a benefit to you standing with that purpose. If you follow that purpose where God is the head and he says that the man should be the head of the family which means that the man reports to God, then the woman submits to the man not surrender.
 
“In fact, there’s a condition to that submit, ‘As unto the Lord,’ which is to say as long as the man is still under God’s umbrella.
 
“So when the man leaves God’s umbrella, sincerely, the woman is void. You can’t hold her responsible for not submitting.
 
“Submission is where the problem is. Ladies nowadays look at submission as surrender. It’s not surrender.”
 
He also believes men have been reduced from their original purpose, especially in the Western world, where they are often prioritized last.
 
“The way I see them in America and in the Western world, let me tell you the order of things, there’s children, women, animals, then men. In fact, plants before men.
 
“What we [men] have been turned to now is to be silent, to keep looking. We are raising men who are dying in pain. So men are dying early,” he added.

You Have No Power to Query Me, Chief Imam Not Traditional Title Holder – Ayilara Slams Soun of Ogbomoso

The Chief Imam of Ogbomoso, Sheik Teliat Yinus Avilara has replied the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye.
According to the Imam, the office of the Chief Imam is not a traditional title.
Ayilara noted that the Chief Imam is not under the control of the Soun of Ogbomoso, hence, Soun has no power to query him.
Ayilara made these declarations in a letter addressed to the Soun as a response to a query issued to the Chief Imam by the traditional ruler.

 

 

Recall that the Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye, had earlier issued a query to the Chief Imam for going to Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj exercise without informing him. https://dailypost.ng/2024/06/27/hajj-soun-of-ogbomoso-issues-query-to-chief-imam/
But, the Chief Imam, in his reaction, noted that he responded to the letters issued by the traditional ruler out of deep respect he have for Yoruba culture and tradition.
Ayilara, in the letter signed by his secretary, Ogunleye Sulaimon Ajasa, insisted that as a Muslim and spiritual head of the Muslim community in Ogbomoso, he is not subjugating the rules regulating the practice of Islam to Yoruba tradition and culture.
In the letter made available to DAILY POST on Thursday, Ayilara said, “My case is that the office of Grand Chief Imam of Ogbomosoland is not a traditional title, and as such, it is not under the control of Soun of Ogbomosoland.
 
“My case against your majesty is still in court. And I strongly believe that when a matter is in court, the parties in the case must respect the authority of the court by abstaining from anything that may affect the case in court.
 
“Your majesty calling on me to revert the appointment of those Muslim brethren I installed as Grand Mufti of Ogbomosoland, Amirul Wa’izin of Ogbomosoland, Khadimul-Islam of Ogbomosoland and Kanzul ‘Ulama’ of Ogbomosoland, to immediately return to Nigeria and rectify the appointment of acting Grand Chief Imam of Ogbomosoland I made is directly related to the case in court and I think the court must be respected.
 
“I also need to state that I am responding to your Majesty’s letters out of deep respect I have for Yoruba culture and tradition.
“However, as a Muslim and spiritual head of the Muslim community in Ogbomosoland, I am not subjugating the rules regulating the practice of Islam to Yoruba tradition and culture. It is a collective right of all Muslims. Kabiesi, I have forwarded the letters to my lawyers for onward transmission to the court. God bless Ogbomosoland, God bless Oyo State and God bless Nigeria at large.”

Soun of Ogbomoso Queries Chief Imam for Going for Hajj Without Approval

The Soun of Ogbomoso, Oba Afolabi Ghandi Olaoye, has issued a query to the Chief Imam of Ogbomoso, Shiek Taliat Yunus Olusina Ayilara.
The monarch said the Imam failed to seek the traditional ruler’s permission before embarking on Hajj pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia.

Recall that the traditional ruler has been at loggerheads with the chief Iman for the past few months.

The Chief Imam was among the pilgrims from Nigeria who performed the 1445 Hajj exercise in Saudi Arabia.
Soun, in the query, claimed that the Chief Imam did not inform him before he embarked on the journey.
The traditional ruler in the letter dated 10th June 2024, said that what the Chief Imam did was in contrast with the undertaking he signed before he became the Chief Imam.
In the query, made available to newsmen yesterday, was signed by the palace Secretary, Toyin Ajamu, on behalf of the traditional ruler.
The letter reads: “I refer to the earlier query issued to you with regards to your unbecoming and reprehensible conducts as Chief Imam Agba of Ogbomosoland and the need to desist from such conducts.”
 
“You will recall that on your appointment as Chief Imam Agba of Ogbomosoland you signed an undertaking and agreement which you agreed will be binding on you.”
 
“In the said undertaking, you unequivocally undertook to inform the Soun of Ogbomoso before traveling outside Ogbomoso.”
 
“However, we have been informed that you are currently in Mecca on a Holy pilgrimage without notifying the Soun. This is a clear violation of your undertaking.”
 
“Secondly, you agreed not to appoint any surrogate during your tenure without the approval of His Royal Majesty, Soun of Ogbomoso.”
 
“Nevertheless, we have received information that you have appointed a surrogate namely Sheik Abdulrahman Alim Areo as the acting Chief Imam Agba of Ogbomosoland, who led the Jumat Prayer of Friday, 7th June, 2024 of the Central Mosques.”
 
“This action is a direct breach of your undertakings. As the Soun of Ogbomosoland, I hereby demand that you immediately return to Ogbomoso and rectify these violations and desist from any further actions that violate the the undertakings you signed on the approval of your appointment as Chief Imam Agba of Ogbomosoland.”

When contacted for his reaction through a telephone call, the Chief Imam confirmed the development to newsmen.
He noted that this was not the first time that the monarch will issue him a query.
He said: “Yes. That is what I am confirming for you. He has issued some queries to me in the past. I will send you the documents.”
 
“This time, he issued the query to me that I didn’t inform him before going to Saudi Arabia.”

Do2dtun has now addressed VeryDarkMan ‘sstatements, highlighting the issue of classism in Nigeria.
In his post, the media personality noted that Nigerians often prioritize irrelevant matters and use them to stratify themselves.
He emphasized that having access to certain events or privileges does not make someone better than others.
He wrote, “Nigerians often prioritize unimportant things and use them to stratify themselves. We elevate minor issues to important status. Having access to certain events or privileges does not make someone better than others. It’s important to build meaningful relationships and memories, rather than prioritizing superficial things.”
