I Can’t Date A Lady Who Tweets Frequently – Blaqbonez

Rapper Emeka Akumefule aka Blaqbonez has revealed the kind of woman he cannot date.
According to him, he can’t date a lady who frequently tweets on the microblogging site Twitter, now called X.
The rapper recently featured on the Zero Conditions Podcast where he disclosed that he consistently avoids scandals, which is why he filters the women around him.
He stressed that for this reason he does not like women who have many tweets and does not relate with them because he feels like they would air out his dirty laundry.
He said: “I don’t really like to talk to people and females that have too many tweets. I don’t speak to them because I feel like you are two seconds away from going to tell the world about my business. You are literally two seconds away from blasting me, not even on the grounds of, ‘You’re trying to ruin me.’ You just tweet everything that goes on in your life.”
He stressed that even though he uses the micro-blogging platform, he is not fond of airing every opinion he has online like most female users.
Blaqbonez added that he does this for the sake of his peace and maintaining the sanctity of his brand.
“Me I have lots of tweets but if you go and check I don’t even make a lot of tweets, I retweet things. I’m not always talking. I 100% filter the babes coming my way, I’m upstanding about my peace I really care about my brand and peace. I don’t want to be with anyone who will soil it,” the rapper added.

As A Nigerian Woman, 30 Is Old To Not Be Married – Nigerian Man

A Nigerian man, Eziokwu has warned ladies that that they should not be single at 30 because they will be seen as too old.
He made the claim on X platform.
According to him, a Nigerian woman at 30 is too old not to be married.
He stated this after a Nigerian lady recalled how she used to age shame a woman because she was still single at 30.
“So you agree that 30 is old to not be married as a Nigerian woman then. Denial doesn’t invalidate the truth. It may n’t be your fault that you aren’t but as a Nigerian woman, 30 is old to not be married and no matter how folks on here may want to sweettalk it, the reality hits,” he said on Tuesday.

You Don’t Have The Power To Ask Anyanwu To Resign – Wike Slams PDP BoT

FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has taken a swipe at the Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for calling for the resignation of the National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu.

Recall that Anyanwu emerged as the PDP governorship candidate for the November 11 election in Imo state.

After he was elected the PDP candidate in April, some members of the party called for the resignation of Anyanwu as the national secretary.

But in a statement on Friday, the national leadership of PDP said Anyanwu remains the party’s national secretary and governorship candidate in Imo.

However, in a letter dated October 12, addressed to the acting PDP National Chairman, Iliya Damagun, the BoT said it is against the provisions of the party’s constitution for Anyanwu to occupy two positions.

Reacting to the development in a letter to the BoT acting Chairman, Senator Adolphus Wabara, Wike said the party organ does not have the authority to declare who can occupy the office of the national secretary.

He said the BoT was unable to intervene in the crises that engulfed the party in the run-up to the 2023 General Elections when some chieftains of the party blatantly violated the Constitution of the Party.

Wike also expressed dismay that the former senate president referred to Emeka Ihedioha as “former governor of Imo state” in his letter to the PDP acting Chairman.

“Your Excellency, permit me to observe with respect that the Board of Trustees (BOT) lack the moral authority to intervene on the issue of who occupies or should occupy the Office of the National Secretary of the Party,” Wike wrote in his response to Wabara seen by TheCable.

“This is more so as the BOT was unable to use its good offices as the conscience of the Party to intervene in the crises that engulfed the Party in the run-up to the 2023 General Elections when Officers of the party blatantly violated the Constitution of the Party.

“Secondly, the Ag. Chairman of the BOT is reminded that the issue of who occupies the position of National Secretary of the Party is beyond the BOT’s sphere of authority and influence.

“Indeed, if and when a vacancy occurs, the responsibility of deciding who and how the vacancy will be filled is that of the entire Southern States to which the position was zoned and not only the South East geopolitical, as your letter under reference appears to be suggesting.”

Wike said it was wrong for the BoT to refer to Ihedioha as the former governor of Imo state because the Supreme Court had nullified his election.

He added: “By the Supreme Court’s pronouncement, Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, was never elected Governor of Imo State and ought not to have been so copied.

“To do otherwise will amount to dressing him in borrowed robes, which will not do him and the Party any good.”

BBNaija: Nigerians Didn’t Support Me Because I’ve Won Before – Mercy Eke Cries, Says It’s Wickedness

Big Brother Naija star, Mercy Eke has made a claim against Nigerians.
According to her, Nigerians refused to support her because she had won the reality show before.
Mercy said that apart from her fans, majority of the viewers did not support her in the just concluded All-Stars edition of the reality show because of sentiment.
She said most people refused to support her because she won the ‘Pepper Dem’ edition in 2019.
Speaking in a recent interview with Hero Daniels, Mercy broke down in tears, lamenting that her only “crime” was wanting “more”.
She said, “This last season of Big Brother, at a point, I started questioning myself like I feel like I’m too ambitious. Is it a good thing for a woman to want more? Because people almost made me feel like I’m too greedy. And most times when I talk to Biggie that’s what I ask him.
 
“In my head, I started questioning myself: Do I want too much? Should I have not looked for this? Okay fine, I’m not hungry but if I want this green, can I not want this pink? And is there a problem if I want white? It made me start questioning myself too much. Wetin I even get? I don’t even have anything but people made it like let others be there.
 
“I didn’t have any support apart from my fans. It’s still in my head and I’m not lying because it’s just pure hatred and wickedness what I went through. And I thank God that I went back to the show because I didn’t know that that is how people saw me. They almost made me feel like I’m wanting too much even though I don’t have it like that.
 
“I just respect myself. Package myself. Even when I don’t eat, nobody is going to know. What people showed me, is just pure wickedness for nothing. Just for trying to be more. For trying to work harder. It was not easy to accept to go back into the House. Remember we had another winner in the House. But the energy they gave me both inside and outside the House, oh God! I said they would not see my tears. They will keep seeing me shine. That’s what I said to myself.
 
“But that is pure wickedness because I checked myself, what did I do wrong? I did not do anything wrong. I did not commit any crime. The only crime I committed was wanting more.”
